Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing portable water tape feeders have poor portability and workability due to the need to carry water tapes with both hands and require separate devices for moisture application, leading to inefficiencies and environmental concerns.
Innovation Solution
A portable water tape feeder with a main body incorporating a water tape mounting part, a water supply part with a porous sponge, and a cutting part, allowing for stable moisture application and easy cutting of water tapes, enhancing portability and eco-friendliness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If water tape is used as an eco-friendly alternative to plastic tape, then environmental friendliness is improved, but portability and workability deteriorate due to the need for separate moisture application devices and two-handed carrying
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the moisture application function and tape cutting function into the same handheld device housing. The water supply part, sponge, cutting blade, and tape mounting part are integrated into a single portable unit, eliminating the need for separate moisture application devices and allowing one-handed operation throughout the entire tape application process.
Solution Approach 2:
The sponge automatically applies moisture to the tape as it passes through the device, and the cutting blade automatically cuts the tape to the desired length. The user simply needs to operate the device once, and the system performs all necessary functions (moisture application, tape feeding, and cutting) automatically, greatly simplifying the operation.
2Reliability
If separate moisture application devices are used with water tape, then adhesive capability is improved, but device complexity and portability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The moisture application function is merged with the tape feeding and cutting functions in a single integrated device. The water supply part connects to a sponge that directly contacts the tape during the feeding process, combining multiple functions into one simple handheld unit rather than requiring separate devices for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a porous sponge as the moisture application element. The sponge's porous structure allows it to absorb and evenly distribute moisture to the tape surface as it passes through, providing reliable adhesive activation without requiring complex liquid delivery mechanisms or multiple components.
3Reliability
If water supply system is integrated into portable device, then moisture application stability is improved, but water leakage risk increases affecting portability
Solution Approach 1:
The sponge acts as a buffer between the water supply and the tape. It absorbs water from the water supply part and releases it gradually through its porous structure as the tape passes by, preventing direct contact between liquid water and the外部环境, thus eliminating leakage risks while maintaining stable moisture application.
Solution Approach 2:
The sponge serves as an intermediary between the water supply system and the tape. Instead of directly applying liquid water to the tape or to the external environment, the sponge absorbs and transfers moisture in a controlled manner, mediating the water delivery process to ensure stability without leakage.

Function Achieved in This Case
The portable water tape feeder provides stable adhesive capability, reduces environmental impact by using 100% recyclable materials, and offers convenient, portable usage similar to traditional plastic tapes, addressing the limitations of existing water tape products.
Implementation Method 1
a water supply part mounted with a porous sponge in a direction opposite to the lower surface of the water tape so as to apply moisture to the lower surface of the water tape
