Vacuum Drying Tank Segmented Shell and Button Seal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vacuum drying devices have large volumes, are inconvenient to carry, and have low drying efficiency, making them unsuitable for small-scale drying needs such as beauty products and snacks.
Innovation Solution
A compact vacuum drying tank with a shell design that includes a first shell part, a second shell part with an accommodating cavity, and a third shell part housing the pumping device. The tank features a button-operated sealing mechanism that allows for easy opening and closing of the vacuum state, enhancing usability and efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If existing vacuum drying devices are used, then drying function is achieved, but volume is large and portability is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The drying device is divided into multiple detachable components: a first container for placing items to be dried, a second container housing the pumping device, and a connecting portion. This segmentation allows the components to be separated for easy carrying and storage, while assembling into a complete vacuum drying system when needed, effectively resolving the contradiction between compact volume and functional completeness.
2Productivity
If existing vacuum drying devices are used, then drying function is achieved, but drying efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The pumping device automatically maintains vacuum pressure within the container without requiring manual intervention. The control unit monitors and regulates the vacuum state, allowing the drying process to proceed continuously and efficiently without user interference, thereby improving drying efficiency and reducing total drying time.
3Productivity
If vacuum sealing is maintained, then drying effectiveness is improved, but opening the container becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The sealing structure incorporates a dynamic release mechanism where the sealing portion can be selectively engaged or disengaged from the connecting portion. During drying, the seal maintains vacuum integrity; when opening is needed, the sealing relationship is dynamically broken by detaching the components, allowing easy access while preserving drying effectiveness during operation.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The compact design facilitates easier carrying and storage, while the improved sealing mechanism allows for efficient drying with higher efficiency, energy savings, and environmental friendliness, making it suitable for various small-scale drying applications.
Implementation Method 1
the pumping device is used for pumping out air in the accommodating cavity from the air pumping hole, so that the accommodating cavity is in a vacuum state
Implementation Method 2
the bottom end surface of the accommodating cavity is provided with a through hole and a sealing member; when the button is located at the first position, the sealing member is clung to the through hole to close the through hole
