Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing portable cups for pets are inconvenient as they require multiple tools for carrying water, food, and excrement disposal, increasing travel burden and not efficiently addressing the needs of pet owners during outings.
Innovation Solution
A portable cup with multiple storage cavities, including one for water, food, and a toilet bag, featuring end covers that can open and close for easy access, reducing the number of tools needed and enhancing convenience during travel.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single-function portable cup is used, then the cup structure is simple, but multiple separate tools are needed to carry water, food, and excrement disposal supplies
Solution Approach 1:
The portable cup is designed with multiple storage cavities (first storage cavity for water, second storage cavity for food, third storage cavity for excrement disposal supplies) within a single integrated structure. This allows one cup to serve multiple functions for pet care during travel, eliminating the need for separate containers for water, food, and waste management supplies.
Solution Approach 2:
The cup body is divided into multiple independent storage cavities, each capable of holding different pet supplies. The cup body is further segmented into upper and lower portions with respective cavities, allowing organized separation of water, food, and excrement disposal items while maintaining a single unified cup structure.
2Ease of operation
If multiple separate tools are carried for water, food, and excrement disposal, then each function is dedicated, but the travel burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines water storage, food storage, and excrement disposal supplies into a single portable cup unit. The cup body integrates three distinct storage cavities that can simultaneously hold different supplies, reducing the total number of separate items to carry while maintaining dedicated storage for each function.
3Ease of operation
If cavities are distributed at both ends of the cup body, then access to supplies is improved, but the cup occupies more space
Solution Approach 1:
The storage cavities are distributed along the height dimension of the cup body rather than concentrating them in a single end. The first storage cavity is positioned in the upper portion while the second and third storage cavities are in the lower portion, utilizing the vertical dimension to improve accessibility from both ends without significantly increasing the overall footprint of the cup.
