Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional packaging containers require an additional sealing liner after opening, increasing complexity and material consumption to achieve a satisfactory sealing effect.

Innovation Solution

A ring-peel-seal liner with a metal sealing layer, adhesive layer, and auxiliary tear lines, allowing for electromagnetic induction sealing and easy removal without completely destroying the liner, thus eliminating the need for an additional sealing liner.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If an additional sealing liner is added to enhance sealing effect after opening, then sealing reliability is improved, but device complexity and material consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing effectVSAvoidproduction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the sealing liner function with the lid structure by integrating a sealing ring directly onto the lid. This eliminates the need for separate additional sealing liners, reducing production complexity while maintaining reliable sealing through the integrated sealing ring that conforms to the container opening.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The lid is designed with multi-functionality by incorporating the sealing ring as an integral component. The lid simultaneously serves as the closure structure and the sealing element, eliminating the need for separate sealing liners and reducing overall device complexity while maintaining sealing reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If an additional sealing liner is added to enhance sealing effect after opening, then sealing reliability is improved, but material consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing effectVSAvoidmaterial consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

By merging the sealing function into the lid structure through an integrated sealing ring, the patent eliminates the need for additional sealing liner materials. This reduces material consumption while maintaining reliable sealing through the single integrated component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If a conventional sealing film is used, then sealing effect is achieved, but the sealing effect deteriorates after the sealing film is destructed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing effectVSAvoidsealing duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The sealing structure is segmented into a reusable lid with an integrated sealing ring and a removable central region. When opened, only the central region is removed while the sealing ring remains on the lid, allowing the sealing function to be maintained for subsequent closures. This extends the duration of effective sealing beyond the initial single-use film.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies discarding and recovering by allowing the central region of the sealing structure to be removed (discarded) while the sealing ring is retained (recovered) on the lid. This enables the sealing function to be reused for multiple closures, extending the duration of effective sealing compared to conventional single-use films.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering

AI summary

A ring-peel-seal liner is revealed, the ring-peel-seal liner includes a metal sealing layer and an adhesive layer. The metal sealing layer has a first annular tear line, and is defined into an annular region and a central region by the first annular tear line, wherein the annular region encircles the central region. The adhesive layer is adhered on one surface of the metal sealing layer. With the ring-peel-seal liner described above, the issue of needing an additional liner for enhancing a sealing effect after opening a conventional packaging container is resolved.
