Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing roll containers for cleaning cloths, incontinence articles, and laundry items face issues with label durability and visibility due to exposure to aggressive liquids, and the magnetic identification systems are prone to corrosion and limited by frame size, necessitating frequent replacements and unsightly designs.
Innovation Solution
A container with a metallic plate or net embedded within a plastic base body, allowing for interchangeable magnetic foils on both the base and lid, ensuring secure fixation and protection from environmental influences while enabling customizable markings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If labels are attached to the container surface, then identification information can be provided, but the labels are easily damaged and become unrecognizable by aggressive liquids
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic identification carrier is embedded within the plastic base body material, nesting the identification function inside the container structure itself. This protects the identification carrier from external environmental damage while maintaining its functionality for information display.
Solution Approach 2:
The identification system combines magnetic material with plastic embedding, creating a composite structure that leverages the protective properties of plastic while maintaining the magnetic properties needed for identification. The metallic plate or net provides magnetic functionality while being protected by the surrounding plastic.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a metallic plate is exposed on the container surface for magnetic identification, then interchangeable markings can be applied, but the plate is prone to corrosion from environmental influences
Solution Approach 1:
The metallic plate or net is completely surrounded and embedded within the plastic base body material, nesting the magnetic component inside a protective envelope. This prevents direct contact with corrosive substances while maintaining the magnetic function through the plastic medium.
Solution Approach 2:
The plastic base body material acts as an intermediary layer between the metallic plate and the external environment. This intermediate layer protects the metal from corrosion while still allowing magnetic interaction to occur, enabling interchangeable markings without exposing the metal to harmful factors.
3Strength
If overlapping sections form a frame around the magnetic plate, then the plate is protected mechanically, but the area for magnetic foil application is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The invention removes the limiting frame structure formed by overlapping sections and extracts only the essential protective function. The magnetic plate or net is completely surrounded by plastic material without creating a restrictive frame, allowing the magnetic foil to extend over the entire available surface area.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of confining the magnetic plate to a two-dimensional plane with frame limitations, the solution embeds the magnetic element within the three-dimensional plastic base body. This dimensional transition allows the magnetic foil to utilize the full surface area without frame constraints.
4Object-affected harmful factors
If the plastic material surrounding the magnetic plate exceeds maximum thickness, then the plate is well protected, but the magnetic foil cannot be securely fixed
Solution Approach 1:
The invention optimizes the thickness parameter of the plastic material surrounding the magnetic plate to a specific range that balances protection and magnetic functionality. The thickness is controlled to provide adequate environmental protection while maintaining sufficient magnetic field strength for secure foil fixation.
Solution Approach 2:
The plastic base body material provides different levels of protection in different locations. Areas closer to the magnetic plate have controlled thickness for optimal magnetic function, while other areas may have varying thickness for enhanced protection, creating a gradient of protective quality throughout the container structure.
