Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a complex structure is used in traditional pump-type liquid containers, then the discharge function is achieved, but complete discharge of remaining content becomes difficult and airtightness deteriorates after repeated use
Solution Approach 1:
The container is divided into distinct functional modules: a discharge unit with pump element, a sealing unit with valve mechanism, and a storage chamber. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally while maintaining overall simplicity, resolving the contradiction between reliability and device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The valve element is extracted as a separate, movable component that can be independently controlled. This allows the valve to be opened only when necessary for discharge and closed otherwise, maintaining airtightness while enabling complete content discharge, thus improving reliability without adding complex structure
2Reliability
If traditional pump structures are used, then liquid discharge is enabled, but leakage occurs through gaps between internal elements
Solution Approach 1:
A flexible sealing ring made of elastic material is used around the pump element and valve mechanism. This flexible sealing structure adapts to movement and deformation during operation, maintaining contact and preventing leakage through gaps without requiring complex rigid sealing mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The sealing ring is pre-installed in positions where gaps are most likely to occur between internal elements. By anticipating potential leakage paths and providing sealing in advance, the design prevents leakage before it occurs, improving reliability without adding complex reactive sealing structures
3Duration of action of moving object
If repeated use of traditional containers occurs, then discharge function continues, but airtightness is difficult to maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The valve element is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to dynamically adjust its position between open and closed states. This dynamic capability ensures the valve can fully close after each discharge cycle, maintaining airtightness over extended service life without degrading performance
Solution Approach 2:
The pump element and valve mechanism are designed for easy disassembly and reassembly. After prolonged use, components can be recovered, cleaned, and reinstalled to restore optimal sealing contact, extending the service life while maintaining airtightness through periodic maintenance rather than replacing the entire container

Function Achieved in This Case
The design allows for complete and effective discharge of liquid or gel content while preventing leakage, ensuring high airtightness and simplifying the structure to address the issues of incomplete discharge and leakage in existing containers.
Implementation Method 1
the discharge button when lowered generates the vacuum pressure in the movement passage to deform a shape of the discharge tube of the elastic pump closely adhering to the sealing protrusion ring
Implementation Method 2
an elastic pump including a flexible material, having a long shape, and arranged in the arrangement space of the connection cover to move the content accommodated in the accommodation space
Implementation Method 3
an opening and closing member having a shape corresponding to an inner shape of the communication port and opening or closing the communication port, wherein the opening and closing member is raised when the opening and closing member is connected to the insertion ring
