Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing portable bubble water bottles pose safety risks due to the exposure of gas cylinders, which can detach and jet out with high speed during use, causing danger.
Innovation Solution
A portable bubble water bottle design that encloses the gas cylinder within the bottle body, utilizing a first and second space configuration with a one-way gas valve to prevent exposure and ensure safety, along with a controlling gas valve for efficient gas-liquid mixing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the gas cylinder is exposed outside the bottle body for easy access and operation, then the ease of operation is improved, but the safety is worsened due to collision risk and high-speed jetting danger
Solution Approach 1:
The gas cylinder is nested inside the bottle body, specifically positioned in the second space formed by the second closed sidewall and second bottom. This nesting structure protects the gas cylinder from external collision while maintaining controlled access through the one-way gas valve mechanism, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and safety.
Solution Approach 2:
The one-way gas valve acts as an intermediary between the user and the gas cylinder. It allows controlled gas release for bubble water generation while preventing direct access to the gas cylinder itself, thus maintaining safety without completely compromising operability.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the gas cylinder is enclosed within the bottle body to improve safety, then the safety is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional spaces and valves
Solution Approach 1:
The bottle body is segmented into two functional spaces: the first space for liquid storage and the second space for gas cylinder placement. This segmentation allows the gas cylinder to be enclosed for safety while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through clear functional division.
Solution Approach 2:
The second closed sidewall and second bottom serve dual purposes: they define the second space for gas cylinder placement (safety function) and simultaneously form part of the overall bottle structure (structural function). This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components.
3Productivity
If a one-way gas valve is added to control gas flow and improve gas dissolution efficiency, then the gas dissolution efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The one-way gas valve enables self-regulating gas flow control. Gas flows automatically from the second space to the first space when pressure differential permits, dissolving in the liquid without requiring additional control mechanisms. This self-service approach improves gas dissolution efficiency while minimizing added complexity.
