Pumping Container Spring With Rotation Force Absorption Ring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional pumping container springs cause an excessive rotation of the button when pressed, making the pressing operation inconvenient due to the transmission of rotation forces through the spiral parts.
Innovation Solution
A pumping container spring design featuring an upper support plate, a lower support plate, a circular rotation force absorption ring, and spiral parts with forward and reverse spiral configurations that reduce the rotation amount of the button by absorbing and distributing the rotation forces effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If a conventional pumping container spring with spiral parts is used, then the elastic force is accumulated to raise the button, but the button rotation amount increases making the pressing operation inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
A rotation force absorption ring is introduced as an intermediary component between the spiral parts and the button. This ring absorbs the rotation forces generated by the spiral parts during compression, preventing them from being transmitted to the button. The absorption ring has a circular passing hole through which the button passes, allowing the button to move vertically while the ring absorbs rotational forces, thus resolving the contradiction between accumulating elastic force and maintaining ease of operation.
2Force
If the spiral parts are compressed to accumulate elastic force, then the button can be raised, but rotation forces are generated causing button rotation
Solution Approach 1:
The rotation forces generated by the spiral parts during compression are converted from a harmful effect into a beneficial one by introducing the rotation force absorption ring. The ring is designed to absorb these rotation forces, converting the harmful rotational motion into harmless deformation of the ring itself. This allows the spiral parts to continue accumulating elastic force effectively while the harmful rotation forces are neutralized by the absorption ring's deformation.

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The design reduces the rotation amount of the button, making the pressing operation more convenient by stabilizing the elastic force distribution and maintaining a side-by-side arrangement of the support plates and the absorption ring.
Implementation Method 1
a spiral part which includes a first forward spiral part 183 and a second forward spiral part 184 and is installed between the upper support plate 181 and the lower support plate 182... each of the first forward spiral part 183 and the second forward spiral part 184 accumulates an elastic force while being compressed
