Blender and blender container
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional blenders have aesthetically unpleasing designs and are prone to handle damage and slipping issues due to their structural limitations, particularly when handling heavy containers.
Innovation Solution
A blender design featuring a handle with a grip member and deco member, where the handle is integrally formed with the container and protrudes outward, providing enhanced durability and preventing slipping, while the deco member matches the outer case material for a unified and luxurious appearance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the handle is fixed only on one side to the container, then the user can easily hold and use the handle, but the handle is relatively prone to structural damage
Solution Approach 1:
The handle is divided into multiple attachment points: the upper end is fixed to the container while the lower end is spaced apart. This segmentation allows the handle to maintain ease of use while distributing structural stress, preventing damage at any single point.
2Strength
If both upper end and lower end of the handle are connected to the container, then stable lifting of heavy container is achieved, but the outer appearance is not aesthetically pleasing and hand insertion is inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The handle connection is applied locally at the upper end only, while the lower end remains spaced apart. This local quality approach provides sufficient lifting stability at the attachment point while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance and convenient hand insertion space.
3Strength
If the handle extends downward close to the main body, then structural support is improved, but hand insertion space is reduced causing inconvenience
Solution Approach 1:
The handle extends downward partially toward the main body but stops before contact, maintaining an optimal distance. This partial action provides sufficient structural support while preserving adequate hand insertion space for user convenience.

AI summary
A blender includes a main body provided with a motor assembly; a container detachably mountable to the main body and of which an upper surface is opened; a handle having an upper end which is connected to the container and a lower end which is spaced apart from the container, where the handle includes a handle body formed integrally with the container and protruding laterally from an upper end of the container and extending downward from the container.
