Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing sealing devices are used, then the structure is simple, but the sealing effectiveness is insufficient and contaminants can enter the container

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing effectivenessVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The sealing device is divided into multiple functional components: a base with mating hole, a cover with extension part, a seal ring, and a baffle with lug. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific sealing function while maintaining overall structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The seal ring is nested within the ring slot of the cover, and the baffle with lug is nested within the extension part. This nested arrangement maximizes sealing effectiveness within a compact structure, preventing contaminants from entering while avoiding excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Reliability

If traditional sealing methods are used, then the device is easy to manufacture, but the logistical safety and reliability are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelogistical safetyVSAvoidmanufacturing simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The seal ring functions as a flexible sealing element that deforms to conform to the mating surfaces, ensuring reliable contamination prevention. This flexible sealing approach achieves high logistical safety while remaining simple to manufacture and install.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The baffle with lug acts as an intermediary component that facilitates the connection between the cover and base, ensuring proper alignment and sealing contact. This intermediary element enhances logistical safety while adding minimal manufacturing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The present disclosure concerns a sealing device that consists of a base (1) and a cover (2), and it has the following characteristics: The base's upper end has a mating hole (2) with internal thread, the cover's lower end has an extension part with external thread. The base and the cover are connected through thread on the mating hole and the extension part. The extension part has an internal baffle (8), and there is a lug (11) on the baffle. The cover's lower end face has a ring slot, in which a seal ring (5) is placed; edge of the base's upper end has a lower connecting hole (9), and the cover's upper end face has an upper connecting hole (6). The upper connecting hole and the lower connecting hole are connected by a connecting piece. This solution can effectively seal up the mating hole, prevent the materials within it from suffering external contaminants, thus increasing the logistical safety and reliability.
