Two-Way Embedding Buckle Sealing Cover Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sealing covers for jars often require removal of multiple parts during assembly and disassembly, and some designs have only one-way embedding ports, making the process inconvenient and prone to incorrect assembly during cleaning.
Innovation Solution
A sealing cover with a two-way embedding buckle mechanism, featuring a fastener with two embedded buckle channels and an elastic element, allows for easy assembly and disassembly by using a handle with support arms that selectively enter embedding ports and move along sliding paths, ensuring stable fixing and sealing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a one-way embedding port is used for assembly, then the assembly process is simplified, but disassembly becomes inconvenient and prone to incorrect assembly
Solution Approach 1:
The buckle channel is segmented into two distinct embedding ports (first embedding port for assembly, second embedding port for disassembly) separated by a partition wall. This segmentation allows independent optimization of assembly and disassembly operations, enabling simplified assembly through one port while providing convenient disassembly through the other port without interference between the two processes.
2Object-generated harmful factors
If multiple parts are removed during assembly and disassembly, then cleaning is more thorough, but the process becomes time-consuming and parts may be lost
Solution Approach 1:
The handle member integrates multiple functions into a single component: it serves as both the cleaning tool (with brush members) and the assembly/disassembly tool (with shafts that engage the embedding ports). This merging eliminates the need to separately handle multiple small parts during cleaning and assembly operations, reducing time loss and part loss while maintaining thorough cleaning capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic element acts as an intermediary that transmits force from the handle member to the gasket during assembly and disassembly. When the shaft is inserted through the embedding port, the elastic element deforms and pushes the gasket to achieve sealing or release the seal for disassembly, enabling clean removal of the gasket without manual manipulation of multiple small components.
3Reliability
If a complex fastening mechanism is used, then sealing reliability is improved, but the structure becomes more complicated and harder to operate
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic element provides self-service by automatically deforming and recovering to maintain sealing pressure. When the handle member is inserted, the elastic element deforms to push the gasket into the sealing position, and when released, it maintains continuous sealing pressure without requiring additional components or complex adjustment mechanisms. This self-service capability achieves reliable sealing with minimal structural complexity.

AI summary
A sealing cover with a two-way embedding buckle mechanism includes an upper cover member, a lower cover member, a fastener, an elastic element and a handle member. The fastener has two embedded buckle channels corresponding to each other, each includes a sliding path, a first embedding port and a second embedding port. The first and second embedding ports are formed on two ends of the sliding path respectively. The elastic element is elastically clamped between the upper and lower cover members. The handle member includes a knob handle and two support arms, and each support arm has a shaft, and each shaft selectively enters one of the first and second embedding ports and is capable of moving in each sliding path. This arrangement may improve the convenience of assembling and disassembling.
