Solution Overview

Problem

Existing baby bottle shakers suffer from non-uniform heating due to poorly designed heating structures and inadequate shaking mechanisms, leading to inefficient milk powder dissolution and a poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A baby bottle shaker with a heating cylinder body featuring an air bag type heating sheet pressing mechanism and an eccentric type container shaking mechanism, which includes an expansion and contraction air bag and a thermal insulation layer, along with a three-rotating-shaft eccentric mechanism, to enhance heating efficiency and shaking effectiveness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single motor with a single rotating shaft is used to drive the baby bottle shaker, then the device complexity is reduced, but the shaking effect becomes poor and milk powder dissolution is affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving mechanism structureVSAvoidmilk powder dissolution efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the driving mechanism into three independent rotating shafts (first, second, and third rotating shafts) instead of using a single shaft. Each shaft can rotate independently to provide multi-directional shaking motion, which significantly improves milk powder dissolution efficiency while maintaining reasonable device complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from single-axis rotation to three-axis rotation, adding dimensional complexity to the shaking motion. The three rotating shafts create multi-dimensional shaking that enhances dissolution by agitating the milk powder from multiple directions simultaneously, rather than just a single rotational plane

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Device complexity

If the heating structure is arranged at the bottom of the baby bottle shaker, then the device complexity is reduced, but the heating uniformity becomes poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheating structure arrangementVSAvoidheating uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The heating structure is segmented into multiple heating elements arranged at different locations (bottom, side walls, and top opening) rather than a single bottom heater. This distributed heating arrangement ensures uniform temperature distribution throughout the container, preventing hot spots and cold zones while maintaining simple device architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different heating zones are created with heating elements positioned at specific locations (bottom heating element, side wall heating elements, and top heating element) to address local heating needs. Each heating zone provides targeted thermal energy to ensure uniform overall heating of the container and its contents

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Device complexity

If no heat conduction structure is provided in the heating structure, then the device complexity is reduced, but the heating effect becomes poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheating structure componentsVSAvoidheating effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Heat conduction structures (heating plates) are introduced as intermediary components between the heating elements and the container. These heating plates efficiently transfer thermal energy from the heating elements to the container, ensuring reliable and uniform heating while adding minimal structural complexity to the system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a baby bottle shaker with a warming function, which solves the technical problems of the poor shaking effect of the existing baby bottle shaker. The baby bottle shaker includes a housing; a heating cylinder body with a placement chamber configured to place a container is movably arranged in the housing. The baby bottle shaker has the advantages that: Through the air bag type heating sheet pressing mechanism, the heating sheets can resist against an outer wall of the container to ensure the heating effect; and it is convenient for a user to control the air bag type heating sheet pressing mechanism through an expansion and contraction control assembly. An eccentric type container shaking assembly is provided with three eccentric rotating shafts, which can effectively ensure the shaking effect on the container on the base.
