Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solution-forming devices lack flexibility in creating solutions with varying chemical compositions and concentrations, as they often require manual preparation and cannot efficiently handle multiple solid products with different erosion rates or catalytic interactions.
Innovation Solution
A dispenser system that includes a support structure, reservoir, and dividers to maintain separation between solid products, allowing for the introduction of a liquid to dissolve multiple solid products at different concentrations and erosion rates, forming solutions with customizable chemical compositions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single solid product is used in the dispenser, then the device structure is simple, but the flexibility in creating solutions with varying chemical compositions is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The dispenser divides the solid product storage into multiple separate compartments or chambers, each capable of holding different solid products. This segmentation allows the system to maintain simplicity while enabling the creation of various solution compositions by selectively dissolving solids from different compartments into the liquid medium.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple solid products are dissolved simultaneously without separation, then the device complexity is reduced, but the control over concentration and chemical composition is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The dispenser employs divided compartments for different solid products, allowing controlled dissolution of each product type. This enables precise control over the concentration and chemical composition of the final solution while maintaining a relatively simple overall device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions or compartments of the dispenser are designed with specific characteristics optimized for different solid products. This local differentiation allows each compartment to control the dissolution rate and concentration of its specific solid product, achieving precise compositional control without complex centralized mechanisms.
3Productivity
If manual preparation of solutions is required, then the chemical composition can be customized, but the productivity and efficiency are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The dispenser is designed to automatically dissolve solid products into the liquid medium without requiring manual intervention. The system self-regulates the dissolution process by controlling liquid flow through different compartments, enabling efficient and repeatable solution production while maintaining the ability to customize chemical compositions.
4Adaptability or versatility
If solid products with different erosion rates are used, then the chemical composition variety is improved, but the difficulty in controlling dissolution rates increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each compartment designed for different solid products incorporates specific local characteristics such as varying surface areas, liquid flow rates, or contact times optimized for the particular erosion rate of the solid product stored therein. This allows the system to accommodate solids with different erosion rates while maintaining control over the dissolution process and final solution composition.

AI summary
A dispenser system and method for creating and dispensing one or more solutions formed from a plurality of separate and distinct solid products which are eroded or dissolved in a liquid. The one or more solutions may include at least one of a first solid product and a second solid product, dissolved in the liquid. The dispenser system may include one or more dividers within a solution forming assembly of the dispenser system to maintain separation between the first solid product and the second solid product.
