Sealant Bottle Gravitational Shell for Tire Repair
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sealant bottles for vehicle tire repair often fail to fully utilize the sealant due to the smaller specific gravity of the sealant hose, which cannot bend flexibly and reach the bottom of the bottle when positioned horizontally, and using materials with greater specific gravity to address this issue results in a hose that is too hard to bend.
Innovation Solution
A sealant bottle design featuring a sealant hose connected to a one-way valve with a gravitational shell of high specific gravity, allowing the hose to bend and abut against the bottle bottom, combined with a retractable cap system and connection tube to ensure full sealant utilization regardless of bottle orientation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If materials with greater specific gravity are used to make the sealant hose, then the hose can reach the bottom of the bottle when positioned horizontally, but the hardness of the hose is enhanced and it cannot bend flexibly inside the bottle
Solution Approach 1:
The sealant hose system is divided into two distinct parts: a flexible hose section for bending and positioning, and a gravitational shell section for providing weight. This segmentation allows each part to fulfill its specific function without compromising the other - the hose remains soft and flexible while the gravitational shell ensures the system reaches the bottle bottom.
Solution Approach 2:
The gravitational shell acts as an intermediary component that provides the necessary weight to the sealant hose system without requiring the hose material itself to be heavy. The shell surrounds the one-way valve and serves as a weight-providing intermediary that enables the flexible hose to reach the bottle bottom through gravitational pull on the shell rather than on the hose material.
2Ease of operation
If the sealant hose has smaller specific gravity, then it can bend flexibly inside the bottle, but the sealant cannot be fully utilized when the bottle is positioned horizontally
Solution Approach 1:
The gravitational shell functions as a counterweight that compensates for the low specific gravity of the flexible hose. By attaching this heavy shell to the one-way valve, the system creates a weight imbalance that pulls the flexible hose downward toward the bottle bottom, ensuring complete sealant utilization regardless of bottle orientation.
Solution Approach 2:
The sealant hose system becomes a composite structure combining the flexible hose material with the dense gravitational shell material. This composite design integrates the advantages of both materials - the flexibility of the hose and the weight of the shell - into a single functional system that achieves both bendability and bottom contact.
3Reliability
If a one-way valve is added to control sealant flow, then sealant leakage is prevented, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The one-way valve is merged with the gravitational shell into a single integrated component. The valve housing and gravitational shell are combined, reducing the number of separate parts and simplifying the overall structure while maintaining the leakage prevention function.
Solution Approach 2:
The gravitational shell serves multiple functions: it provides weight to ensure bottom contact, houses the one-way valve mechanism, and prevents sealant leakage. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components and simplifies the overall device structure.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a tyre repair tool and further discloses a sealant bottle for tyre repair of vehicle. The sealant bottle comprises a bottle body for holding sealant and a sealant hose arranged within the bottle body. The sealant within the bottle body is led out by combination of the sealant hose and a connection tube of sealant bottle. The sealant hose is connected with a one-way valve at one end. The one-way valve includes a valve body, a sealing plug and a valve cover, while the valve cover is arranged at one end of the valve body. The one-way valve is arranged with a gravitational shell which surrounds the one-way valve. In the present invention, it is possible to make full use of the sealant inside the sealant body by virtue of the gravitational shell. Besides, the sealant bottle is easy in structure and convenient in usage.
