Rotatable Lid Receptacle for Test Reagent Label Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional receptacles containing test reagents hinder label information reading due to the lid part covering the upper surface, both when closed and open, making it difficult to identify the reagent type and other details during registration and inspection processes.
Innovation Solution
A receptacle design featuring a cylindrical body with a rotatable lid part that allows the information display part to be visible regardless of the lid's open or closed state, enabling easy reading of labels attached to the upper surface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the lid part covers the entire upper surface to prevent leakage, then the sealing performance is improved, but the label information becomes unreadable
Solution Approach 1:
The lid part is segmented into a first lid portion and a second lid portion that can rotate relative to each other. The first lid portion covers the passage hole for sealing, while the second lid portion can be rotated to expose the label on the upper surface, allowing both sealing and information reading functions to be achieved without compromising either.
2Object-generated harmful factors
If the lid part is designed to close the passage hole, then the test reagent leakage is prevented, but the label on the upper surface cannot be read
Solution Approach 1:
The lid part is designed with rotational movement capability between the first lid portion and second lid portion. When the lid is in the closed state, the passage hole is sealed to prevent leakage. When the second lid portion is rotated, the label on the upper surface becomes accessible for reading, providing dynamic adaptability for both leakage prevention and information access operations.
3Reliability
If a flat lid part covering the entire upper surface is used, then the passage hole is effectively closed, but the label information is completely obscured
Solution Approach 1:
The flat lid part is divided into two functional segments: the first lid portion that provides closure for the passage hole, and the second lid portion that can rotate to reveal the label. This segmentation allows the lid to simultaneously provide effective closure while enabling label visibility when needed through the rotational movement of the second portion.

AI summary
This receptacle containing a test reagent is provided with: an information display part, situated on the upper surface, for display of information relating to a test reagent contained in the receptacle body; and a lid part connected to the upper surface and rotatable with respect to the receptacle body, for opening and closing a passage hole. The lid part closes off the passage hole such that the information display part is visible.
