Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bags on the market only provide single functions such as water-proof storage and fail to meet the multiple requirements of consumers for outdoor activities, including waterproofness, lighting, sound, and charging electronic equipment in emergency situations.
Innovation Solution
A multifunctional bag design incorporating a base with a flexible connecting edge, a power module including a solar panel and rechargeable battery, a control module, and a light-emitting module, along with a speaker, integrated into a receiving space within the bag, providing waterproof, charging, lighting, and sound functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single-function waterproof bag is used, then the waterproof storage function is ensured, but the bag cannot meet multiple requirements such as lighting, sound, and charging
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functional modules (power module with solar panel and battery, control module, light-emitting module, speaker) into a single integrated base structure. This merging approach enables the bag to provide waterproof storage, emergency lighting, sound output, and electronic device charging functions simultaneously, resolving the contradiction between functional versatility and structural complexity by creating a unified multifunctional system.
Solution Approach 2:
The base is designed as a universal platform that can perform multiple functions: it provides waterproof sealing for storage, houses power modules for charging electronic devices, includes light-emitting modules for illumination, and incorporates speakers for sound output. This multi-functional design directly addresses the need for a single bag to meet diverse outdoor activity requirements.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple functional modules are integrated into the base, then the bag provides charging, lighting, and sound functions, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The base is segmented into distinct functional modules including a power module (with solar panel and battery), control module, light-emitting module, and speaker. Each module can be manufactured and tested independently before being assembled into the complete base, which reduces overall manufacturing complexity while maintaining functional versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The functional modules are nested within the base structure, with the power module, control module, light-emitting module, and speaker arranged in a compact nested configuration. This nesting approach allows multiple components to be integrated efficiently within the limited space of the base, facilitating easier assembly and manufacturing.
3Reliability
If the first connecting edge is made of flexible material, then the sealing connection is improved, but the structural stability may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The first connecting edge is specifically designed with flexible material only at the sealing interface where it contacts the bag body, while the rest of the base structure maintains rigid construction. This localized application of flexibility ensures reliable sealing connection without compromising the overall structural strength and stability of the base.
