Blender Main Body Casing Support to Prevent Touch Module Malfunction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Blenders experience malfunctions due to sagging of the upper surface of the main body casing, which affects the manipulation sensitivity of electronic components and generates heat, leading to decreased performance and user complaints.
Innovation Solution
A support member is provided under the upper surface of the blender's main body casing to prevent sagging, with a supporter supporting the touch module and heat dissipation frame, ensuring vertical contact and preventing movement of the touch module, while allowing air to be discharged to the side, thus maintaining the blender's functionality and user interface precision.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the upper surface of the main body casing is pressed or deforms during operation, then the manipulation sensitivity of the touch module decreases and malfunction occurs, but providing a support member increases device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The support member is pre-installed under the upper surface of the main body casing to prevent sagging before manipulation occurs. This preliminary structural reinforcement ensures the touch module remains stable and responsive during operation, eliminating the need for complex active stabilization systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The support member acts as an intermediary element between the main body casing and the touch module, providing mechanical support that prevents direct transmission of deformation forces to the touch module. This simple intermediate structure maintains manipulation sensitivity without requiring complex control mechanisms.
2Reliability
If the main body casing sags during operation, then malfunction occurs and user experience deteriorates, but reinforcing the casing increases manufacturing cost and complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The support member is divided into multiple ribs that are distributed under the upper surface of the main body casing. This segmented structure provides effective support against sagging while using minimal material, keeping manufacturing simple and costs low compared to reinforcing the entire casing.
Solution Approach 2:
The support member provides localized reinforcement only where needed - under the upper surface of the main body casing where sagging occurs. This targeted approach maintains operational reliability without unnecessarily increasing manufacturing complexity or cost across the entire device.
3Measurement precision
If the touch module moves during manipulation, then manipulation accuracy decreases, but securing the touch module more firmly increases device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The support member is installed in advance to prevent touch module movement before manipulation begins. This preliminary support ensures the touch module maintains its precise position during operation, eliminating the need for complex active positioning or stabilization systems.
