Solution Overview

Problem

Existing dispensing containers for granular or pasty products lack an engaging feature that makes the dispensing process more enjoyable, as they primarily rely on monotonous manual shaking without additional sensory feedback.

Innovation Solution

A dispensing container with a sound-emitting device that produces a funny sound when shaken, utilizing a sliding mechanism to compress air within a cavity and emit sound through a hollow tube, integrated into the base, allowing for varying sound tones based on the product type.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a sound-emitting device is integrated into the dispensing container, then user engagement and enjoyment are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser engagementVSAvoiddevice complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The sound-emitting device is merged with the dispensing container structure, where the sliding member is integrated into the container wall and the air outlet is formed directly in the container. This combination allows the sound function to be added without requiring separate external components, thus improving user engagement while limiting the increase in device complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The sliding member serves dual functions: it controls the dispensing of granular or pasty products through the air outlet while simultaneously acting as a sound-emitting component when air passes through it during shaking. This multi-functionality improves user engagement by providing both product dispensing and auditory feedback without proportionally increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a sliding mechanism is used to emit sound, then auditory feedback is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveauditory feedbackVSAvoidmanufacturing precision

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The sliding member is designed to move between different positions within the container, changing the effective cross-sectional area of the air outlet. This parameter change allows the same structure to produce varying sound tones and intensities depending on the shaking intensity and product flow rate, improving auditory feedback while avoiding the need for multiple precision-manufactured components.
