Examples of innovative thinking

With the rapid development of knowledge economy in today's world, innovation has become the leading force and important source of economic and social development, and innovative thinking is the key factor in the process of innovation. Let me introduce some examples of innovative thinking to you, hoping to help you.

Examples of innovative thinking 1

In the past, doctors diagnosed whether a patient had cardiac cancer, mainly by listening to the sound of the patient swallowing water at the cardia of the lower esophagus with the help of a stethoscope, and judging whether the esophagus was cancerous according to its normal degree. This diagnostic method, different doctors often make different judgments because of different hearing and resolution, which will seriously lead to misdiagnosis.

In order to improve the accuracy of diagnosis, two doctors from Shandong Medical College turned to the Department of Electronics of Shandong University for help, hoping to develop a graphic instrument that can help patients swallow water. After accepting this task, several researchers of Shandong University divided the goal into three functional blocks: recording, voice conversion and hot pen drawing.

Recording has ready-made magnetic recording technology, voice conversion has ready-made technology, hot pen tracing. They changed the audio from 1000Hz to 1000Hz by imagining, using magnetic recording technology and using the method of fast recording and slow playback. The sound signal of swallowing water is converted into an electrical signal by an acoustic-electrical conversion device, and then a sound graph is drawn on an electrocardiograph with a hot pen. In this way, according to the established goal, the existing technologies such as magnetic recording, acoustoelectric conversion and hot pen tracing were reassembled and invented. Swallowing sonogram? .

Not only won the national new invention patent, but also won the gold medal of 14 Geneva International Invention Expo. So Einstein said:? The person who discovered the new combination of known equipment is an inventor. ?

Example 2 About Innovative Thinking

A manufacturer of children's products happened to see a parent holding a child in one hand and pushing a small tricycle in the other. He guessed that this was because the child was tired of riding a bicycle and wanted to be hugged by an adult. The manufacturer believes that if a multi-purpose stroller is designed, parents will not have to bear this burden.

He first conceived of combining a stroller with a tricycle and adding a push handle behind the tricycle. Later, he thought of adding a connecting device to hang the stroller on the bicycle as a maternal and child car; Then he thought of adding a swinging part to make an easy chair; And if you put a handle in front, you can also let your child ride as a wooden horse. After the constant combination of these imaginations, he designed different things? More strollers? . According to the needs of understanding and transforming the objective world, people can make some existing things form new connections and form images of things that have never been seen or heard before through combined imagination. Combinatorial imaginative thinking plays a great role in people's innovative activities in all aspects.

In Tokyo, Japan? A mom-and-pop shop? Wherever they go, they are as energetic as shrimp. Their existence often has its unusual management secrets.

Is there a handkerchief shop? Husband and wife old shop? Because of the variety and novel colors of handkerchiefs in the supermarket, their competition did not win, and their business became more and more light. Seeing that the old shop that has been operating for decades is about to close, they have been living in anxiety for years.

One day, the husband sat in a small shop and stared at the passers-by indifferently. Facing the beautifully dressed tourists, he was suddenly inspired. He couldn't help crying, which surprised his wife. He thought he was crazy and was going to comfort him. I only heard him say loudly: guide map, printed guide map. The wife who changed careers asked in surprise. ? No, no, you can print birds and water on your handkerchief. Why can't I print a guide map? Dual-purpose, will be favored by tourists! ? Hearing this, his wife suddenly realized that it was so.

As a result, the old couple immediately ordered a batch of handkerchiefs printed with Tokyo traffic maps and scenic spots guides, which were widely publicized. This idea really works and sells well. Their husband-and-wife shop was saved from adversity and its business was booming.

Example 4 About Innovative Thinking

A famous Japanese creative scientist described the process of his invention of the oil pump as follows: 1942. I was in the second grade of Jiuma Middle School at that time, and the purpose of the invention was to commemorate my mother. Express my love and filial piety to her. On a cold winter morning, I saw my mother in the kitchen with a huge 1800 ml glass soy sauce bottle in her hand. She poured soy sauce into a small bottle on the table. The soy sauce bottles used now have been changed into small plastic bottles, which are convenient to carry.

At that time, it was a big and heavy glass bottle, and there was no current outlet on the bottle mouth, so it was not easy for a woman to pour soy sauce into the inner container of a small bottle. In winter, the big bottle made of thick glass, together with the soy sauce inside, is frozen cold. Mom's hand was shaking all the time, and soy sauce spilled all over the table, but there was not much in the vial. Mother bent down and lowered her head, trying to do this difficult thing. I was very excited to see her curled up. On weekdays, I always want to do something for my mother and help her, and then I think: I must think of a good way to make my mother suffer less, so that she can easily fill a small bottle of soy sauce without holding a big cold bottle. ? So I went to the library by myself, read a lot of books and looked up some information. In the process of studying the theory and principle of fluid, I learned about the siphon phenomenon of fluid mechanics and found the key to solve the problem. First of all, I found the theoretical basis and mastered it? Rational? .

The theoretical basis is that when the fluid flows from high to low in the pipeline, although there is a section of pipeline above the liquid level in the middle, once the liquid starts to flow, it will always flow to low, which is the so-called siphon phenomenon. Of course, that's not enough. When sucking a large bottle of soy sauce through a tube, you must try to suck the soy sauce to the opposite side? u？ At the top of the zigzag pipe, make it flow to the lower part of the other end, and then form a siphon! Only in this way can soy sauce automatically flow into the vial. Downstream to the lower part is not a problem. The difficult thing is how to suck the soy sauce to the top of the tube, that is? The problem of climbing mountains. Of course, you can also suck the soy sauce through the apex at one end of the straw with your mouth, and then quickly insert the nozzle into the vial. However, when sucking with your mouth, it is difficult to control the weight, and it is easy to suck soy sauce into your mouth or spill it outside. ? Is there no good way? One day, while I was thinking hard, my eyes suddenly fell on the ink absorption tube of fountain pen on the table, and my mind lit up and I was inspired by generate. The fountain pen I used in middle school is different from what I use now.

The way to fill the fountain pen with ink is to suck the ink from the ink bottle with a glass straw with a rubber ball and then inject it into the fountain pen. This fountain pen is almost invisible now, and many young readers may not know it. Here I will briefly introduce this kind of ink absorption tube. The straw consists of a thin glass tube with a thick end and a hollow rubber ball with a thick end, which was an indispensable treasure in the study when using fountain pens at that time. Insert the thin end of the glass tube without rubber ball into the ink bottle, flatten the rubber ball with your hand, and let go of your hand, and the ink will be sucked into the glass tube. Then insert the thin end into the upper end of the fountain pen, flatten the rubber ball, and the ink will be injected into the pen. This ink suction tube triggered my inspiration and found a solution to the problem. ? You can suck out liquid without a straw! ? So I took the rubber ball off the straw and bent a plastic tube for drinking soda? u？ Font-shaped, with a hole in the middle, fix the rubber ball on the hole of the straw with glue. But this one did not succeed, and the liquid was not sucked up. After testing and thinking, I understand that there must be two one-way valves on the straw. After many reforms and experiments, many difficulties have been overcome, and finally the sucked liquid can flow smoothly and continuously without backflow. This invention has been used by every family for more than 40 years.

In the cold winter, the hero saw his mother pouring soy sauce hard, which inspired him to decide to create an automatic oil suction pump. The ink straw of fountain pen inspired him to find a solution to the problem.

Example 5 About Innovative Thinking

In Nakano District, Tokyo, Japan, there lived a poor intellectual, Masaichi Tanaka. He has no job or money, but he works at home with the door closed all day. Ferrite magnet? Being regarded by neighbors? Strange guy? . Did he suffer from it? Neuralgia? No matter how you treat it, you can't cure it. At that time, every Thursday, he would take a lot of manufactured magnets to the Kyoto industrial laboratory for testing. After a long time, an accidental phenomenon appeared: his neuralgia would be relieved every Thursday. Tanaka is a very curious person. Curious, he found a piece of plaster, put five small magnets evenly on it, and put them on his wrist to do experiments.

Soon, he found that this technology was very effective in treating neuralgia and immediately applied for a patent. Masaichi Tanaka believes that the south pole and the north pole of magnets are alternately arranged, so that the magnetic lines of force act on the human body. Because there are criss-crossing blood vessels in the human body, when blood flows through the magnetic field, it can induce micro-current, which can achieve the effect of treating diseases and strengthening the body. ? After obtaining the patent right, Tanaka Zhengyi imitated the style of the watchband and made a magnetic therapy belt with six small magnets around it, which was put on the market. After the product went on the market, it was really extraordinary, and people all over Japan rushed to buy it. Three shifts in the factory are also in short supply. In the best period of sales, sales reached 200 million yen in just one week. In this way, in a blink of an eye, a poor man became a monopoly!
