Rotating Replacement Container with Screw-Driven Lifting Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing containers for pasty daily chemical products are often disposable and difficult to reuse, leading to environmental pollution, and replacement type containers with elastic snaps can be inconvenient due to material aging and complex assembly processes.
Innovation Solution
A replacement type container design featuring a rotating mechanism with clasps and a screw system that allows for easy installation and disassembly without the need for elastic snaps, enabling the container to be reused by rotating the replacement component relative to the base, ensuring a secure connection and preventing residual content on threads.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a pressing elastic snap is used to connect the replacement core with the container, then the assembly is simple, but the elastic snap is easy to derail from the snapping groove or lose elasticity due to material aging
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the elastic snap component entirely from the system. Instead of using an elastic snap that connects the replacement core to the container, the invention uses a rotating connection mechanism where the replacement core rotates relative to the container base. This extraction of the problematic elastic snap element eliminates the issues of derailing and material aging while maintaining easy assembly and disassembly through rotational motion.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the elastic mechanical connection system with a rotational mechanical system. The connection between the replacement core and container base is achieved through rotating clasps that engage with corresponding features on the base, eliminating the need for elastic materials and providing a more reliable, reusable connection mechanism.
2Ease of operation
If a pressing elastic snap is used for connection, then assembly is easy, but the installation and assembly process becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
By removing the elastic snap and its associated snapping groove mechanism, the patent simplifies the overall structure. The rotational connection system requires fewer components and less complex assembly steps, as the replacement core simply rotates into place rather than requiring precise alignment and pressing operations.
3Device complexity
If the replacement core is directly placed on a liftable bottom plate, then the structure is simple, but dislocation is prone to occurring in a lifting process as weight decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a rotating connection mechanism that secures the replacement core to the container base before any lifting operation. The rotating clasps engage with corresponding features on the base, pre-establishing a stable connection that prevents dislocation during the lifting process, regardless of the decreasing weight of the replacement core as contents are used.
4Ease of manufacture
If a disposable container is used, then manufacturing is simple, but environmental pollution occurs and reuse is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the container system into two segments: a reusable container base and a replaceable core. This segmentation allows the environmentally friendly reuse of the container base while enabling easy replacement of the consumable contents. The rotating connection mechanism facilitates this segmentation, allowing the core to be easily removed and replaced without compromising the reusability of the base.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables the recovery and reuse of the container base by separating it from the disposable replacement core. The rotating connection system allows for easy separation of the core from the base, permitting the base to be retained and reused multiple times while only the consumable core needs to be discarded and replaced, thereby reducing environmental pollution.

Function Achieved in This Case
The design allows for efficient access and replacement of contents, simplifies the assembly and disassembly process, and prevents environmental pollution by allowing the container to be reused, while maintaining a secure connection and preventing residual content on threads.
Implementation Method 1
The screw is fixed on the base, and the base is provided with a third clasp for snapping with a hole edge of the first through hole; and the screw passes through the first through hole and is connected with the base so that a rotation of the screw causes the base to move so as to lift the replacement component
