Oxygen-Mixing Cosmetic Container With Integrated Supply Cap
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional oxygen-mixing cosmetic containers face challenges in efficiently supplying pure oxygen due to rapid oxygen dissipation and complex, costly designs that complicate assembly and replacement of oxygen capsules.
Innovation Solution
An oxygen-mixing cosmetic container with a simplified oxygen supply cap structure that integrates the oxygen capsule and supply cap, allowing for easy combination and replacement, featuring a valve with a fracture rod, a connecting tube, and an oxygen supply cap with inclined surfaces for easy handling, ensuring oxygen is ejected upon cap combination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a supply cap receiving a high pressure oxygen storage container is additionally combined beneath a main body of the cosmetic container, then oxygen can be supplied to cosmetics, but the number of components increases and manufacturing cost rises
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the supply cap and oxygen storage container into a single integrated component. The supply cap is designed with an internal cavity that directly receives and houses the oxygen storage container, eliminating the need for separate mounting structures or additional components. This integration maintains the oxygen supply function while reducing overall device complexity and component count.
2Reliability
If a supply cap receiving a high pressure oxygen storage container is additionally combined beneath a main body of the cosmetic container, then oxygen can be supplied to cosmetics, but manufacturing cost rises
Solution Approach 1:
The integration of the supply cap and oxygen storage container reduces the total number of parts that need to be manufactured, assembled, and quality-checked. This merging simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces assembly steps, and lowers overall production costs while maintaining the reliable oxygen supply function.
3Strength
If an outer cap is mounted on the supply cap, then the supply cap is protected, but the inlet becomes narrower and it is difficult for users to grip an upper end portion of the high pressure oxygen container
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the protection function from the grip function by designing the supply cap with a specific structure where the oxygen storage container has an exposed upper end portion. The supply cap provides protection for the inlet area while leaving the upper portion of the oxygen container accessible for user grip and manipulation, thus resolving the conflict between protection and accessibility.
4Strength
If caps are doubly mounted, then the supply cap is protected, but oxygen ejection occurs as soon as the supply cap is combined to the bottom of the container body
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a preliminary sealing mechanism where the supply cap includes a seal that prevents oxygen ejection before proper installation. The seal is positioned such that it maintains closure during the assembly process, and oxygen ejection is controlled to occur only after the supply cap is fully combined with the container body, preventing premature discharge.

AI summary
The present invention relates to an oxygen-mixing cosmetic container wherein the structure of an oxygen supply cap, which is installed beneath an oxygen cap and a cosmetic container body, is improved such that, when the oxygen supply cap is coupled, oxygen is ejected simultaneously, components of the oxygen supply cap are simplified such that, besides reducing the material cost, the same can be assembled more efficiently, and the oxygen capsule, which is mounted on the oxygen supply cap, can be easily replaced. The present invention comprises: a body (10) having a storing space (11), the upper portion of which is open, such that a cosmetic is contained therein; a cap (20) coupled to the upper portion of the body (10), the cap (20) having a pumping portion (21) in which a nozzle (21a) is formed; a valve (30) hermetically mounted at the center of the lower portion of the body (10), the valve (30) having a fracture rod (31) that protrudes downward; and an oxygen capsule (40) having a fracture film (41), which is fractured by the fracture rod (31) of the valve (30), so as to supply oxygen into the storing space (11) of the body (10). The present invention further comprises: a connecting tube (50) integrally formed on the lower portion of the body (10) so as to have an outer diameter smaller than that of the body (10), thereby surrounding the lower portion of the valve (30) and the upper portion of the oxygen capsule (40); and an oxygen supply cap (60) separably coupled to the connecting tube (50), the oxygen supply cap (60) having a capsule mounting portion (62) to which the oxygen capsule (40) is fitted through multiple fixing pieces (61) radially protruding from the inner-diameter lower portion such that oxygen is ejected.
