Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single beverage container is used, then the device structure is simple, but it cannot store heterogeneous beverages separately
Solution Approach 1:
The beverage container is divided into multiple independent storage spaces (first storage space, second storage space, third storage space) separated by partitions. Each space can store different beverages independently, allowing heterogeneous beverages to be stored separately while maintaining a single container structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a nested structure where multiple storage spaces are arranged within a single container body. The first, second, and third storage spaces are nested within the same container, with each space containing its own beverage while being part of the overall container system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple cups or containers are used to provide various beverage foods, then consumer taste diversity is satisfied, but it increases inconvenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple beverage storage functions into a single container. The first container with multiple storage spaces integrates the functionality of multiple separate cups, allowing users to carry and serve various beverages in one container rather than managing multiple separate containers.
Solution Approach 2:
The single container is designed to perform multiple functions: storing different types of beverages (carbonated, non-carbonated, alcoholic, non-alcoholic) simultaneously, providing temperature control for different beverages, and enabling selective dispensing of any stored beverage type.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a partition is disposed in the center of the container body, then heterogeneous beverages can be stored in one container, but the structure becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The container body is segmented into multiple storage spaces using partitions. The first partition and second partition divide the container into distinct compartments (first, second, and third storage spaces), each capable of holding different beverage types while maintaining structural organization.
4Adaptability or versatility
If selective opening of connection pipes is implemented, then liquids can be introduced selectively, but the control mechanism becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The connection pipes are designed with dynamic control capabilities, allowing them to be selectively opened or closed based on which beverage needs to be dispensed. The control unit manages the opening/closing state of each connection pipe to enable selective liquid introduction from different storage spaces.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a portable liquid mixing device capable of mixing different types of various liquids, and the different types of various liquids may include various beverages. The present invention includes a plurality of containers configured to contain respective specific liquids, a selection unit configured to select any one of the plurality of containers, a control unit configured to control the introduction of a selected liquid into a mixing container, and a mixing unit configured to mix various liquids introduced into the mixing container. According to the present invention, different types of liquids may be mixed together. In particular, beverages having various flavors are put into respective containers, mixed together and then drunk. Furthermore, a scale is marked on the surface of the mixing container, and thus the amount of liquid may be accurately measured, so that liquids may be mixed at an accurate ratio.
