Baby bottle warmer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing baby bottle warmers with jacking structures and motors occupy significant space, affecting the arrangement of heating plates and leading to functional failures or enlarged designs.
Innovation Solution
A baby bottle warmer with a rotating member that drives the basket up and down, allowing the heating plate to be positioned at the bottom without interfering with the rotating mechanism, featuring a compact and elegant design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a jacking structure and motor are arranged at the bottom of the baby bottle warmer, then lifting control of the baby bottle basket is realized, but the heating plate arrangement is affected and the structure occupies large space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a conventional vertical jacking structure to a rotating member mechanism that operates in a different dimensional space. The rotating member rotates around a central axis, converting vertical lifting motion into rotational motion, thereby freeing up vertical space and allowing the heating plate to be arranged at the bottom without interference.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of using a traditional jacking structure that pushes upward from the bottom, the patent inverts the approach by using a rotating member that converts rotational motion into vertical lifting motion. This inversion allows the motor and rotating mechanism to be positioned differently, reducing space occupation and improving heat conduction efficiency.
2Reliability
If the heating plate is arranged at the bottom of the baby bottle basket, then heating function is provided, but the jacking structure and motor occupy most of the space making arrangement difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves the spatial conflict by changing the dimensional approach of the lifting mechanism. The rotating member operates in a rotational dimension rather than a purely vertical dimension, creating sufficient space for the heating plate to be positioned at the bottom of the basket without interfering with the lifting structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The rotating member serves multiple functions: it provides lifting control for the baby bottle basket while simultaneously creating space for the heating plate arrangement. This multi-functionality reduces overall device complexity by consolidating space utilization rather than requiring separate, space-consuming mechanisms for each function.
3Ease of operation
If the mounting platform is driven to move up, then lifting is achieved, but the unfixed mounting mode causes poor contact after long-term use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the heating plate with the bottom of the baby bottle basket, creating a fixed, integrated structure. This eliminates the separate mounting platform and its associated contact reliability issues. The heating plate becomes an inherent part of the basket structure, ensuring stable thermal contact without requiring separate mounting mechanisms that could loosen over time.
4Volume of moving object
If the heating plate is arranged at the periphery of the baby bottle basket, then space is freed, but the whole structure is enlarged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the rotating member mechanism to free up vertical and radial space, allowing the heating plate to be positioned at the bottom center rather than the periphery. This dimensional change in the lifting mechanism enables compact central arrangement of all components without enlarging the overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a nested arrangement where the rotating member and motor are positioned within the existing structure boundaries, and the heating plate is nested at the bottom center. This nesting approach allows all components to be efficiently packed without increasing the external dimensions of the baby bottle warmer.

AI summary
Disclosed is a baby bottle warmer, including a machine body, a baby bottle basket and a lifting device. The lifting device includes a rotating member, the rotating member rotates to drive the baby bottle basket to move up or down; and since the rotating member is always located on the same plane and position during rotation, a heating plate is arranged in the rotating member without affecting the function of the rotating member. Furthermore, the baby bottle warmer provided by the present disclosure has a compact and exquisite structure.
