Pierceable Carrying Device for Volatiles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional carrying devices for volatiles, such as car air fresheners and deodorants, are inconvenient as they require manual removal of a sealing film, leading to uncontrollable volatilization and potential overflow, and are prone to sealing film damage from external forces due to the orientation of piercing portions.
Innovation Solution
An easy-to-break carrying device featuring a packaging case with a sealing film, a destruction assembly with bendable extending plates and piercing portions disposed parallel to the sealing film, and a permeable film with tiny pores, allowing controlled release of volatiles while maintaining sealing integrity during transport and storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the piercing portion is disposed perpendicular to the sealing film surface, then the destruction assembly can easily pierce the sealing film, but the sealing film is prone to damage from external forces during transport and storage
Solution Approach 1:
The piercing portions are inverted from the conventional perpendicular orientation to a parallel orientation relative to the sealing film surface. This inversion allows the piercing portions to slide along the sealing film rather than penetrate it, preventing accidental damage during transport while still enabling easy piercing when the destruction assembly is intentionally activated by the user.
2Ease of operation
If the sealing film is fully opened after removal, then the volatile can spread out freely, but the volatilization rate becomes uncontrollable and the volatile may overflow and pollute the surroundings
Solution Approach 1:
The permeable film is introduced as a local quality modification - a film with controlled porosity that allows volatile release through its structure. This creates a transition zone between the sealed container and the external environment, enabling controlled volatilization through the film's pore structure rather than complete opening, thus preventing overflow and pollution while maintaining ease of use.
Solution Approach 2:
A permeable film with porous structure is employed to control the release of volatile materials. The porous structure allows controlled diffusion of volatiles from the container to the surrounding environment, maintaining a controllable volatilization rate and preventing uncontrolled overflow and pollution, while still enabling easy release when activated.
3Device complexity
If a manual removal method is used for the sealing film, then the structure is simple, but the operation is inconvenient for consumers
Solution Approach 1:
The destruction assembly is designed to be self-activating through a simple pressing motion. The bendable component with piercing portions automatically engages with and pierces the sealing film when the user applies pressure, eliminating the need for manual film removal techniques. This self-service mechanism greatly enhances consumer convenience while adding minimal structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The destruction assembly incorporates a bendable component that transitions from a neutral state to an activated state through user pressure. This dynamic element allows the piercing portions to engage the sealing film only when needed, providing an intuitive and convenient operation experience while maintaining structural simplicity through the use of elastic or flexible materials.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables easy and controlled release of volatiles by breaking the sealing film with the destruction assembly's piercing portions, reducing the risk of accidental damage to the sealing film, thus enhancing the reliability and convenience of the carrying device.
Implementation Method 1
The plurality of piercing portions are protrudingly disposed at the at least one side of the extending plate... the sealing film is broken by the plurality of piercing portions
Implementation Method 2
the volatile stored in the carrying device can spread into the air... The permeable film is formed with clouds of tiny pores
