Bread Slicer Storage Box With Stable Sliding Cutting Disk
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bread slicers do not provide a convenient means to store sliced bread and are prone to unstable and difficult installation of the load-bearing frame, leading to breadcrumb leakage.
Innovation Solution
A bread slicer with a storage box and an auxiliary cutting assembly that allows for cutting and storing bread slices of preset thickness, featuring a sliding cutting disk mechanism and a stable installation system for the cutting disk, along with a detachable auxiliary cutting assembly for precise slicing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a load-bearing frame is added to carry bread and collect crumbs, then the functionality is improved, but the installation becomes unstable and difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the load-bearing frame with the breadcrumb seat into an integrated structure. The frame includes side walls that extend down to the breadcrumb collection area, combining the support function with the crumb collection function in a single unified component, thereby simplifying installation while maintaining both functionalities
Solution Approach 2:
The load-bearing frame is designed to perform multiple functions: it provides structural support for the bread, contains the cutting area, and collects breadcrumbs through its integrated side walls that extend to the collection area. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate components, improving installation ease while maintaining versatility
2Ease of operation
If the cutting disk is made removable for cleaning, then the ease of operation is improved, but the installation stability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The cutting disk is designed with dynamic characteristics, allowing it to be easily inserted and removed from the rotating assembly. The disk can be freely positioned onto the rotation shaft and removed when cleaning is needed, providing operational flexibility without compromising the stability during the cutting operation when properly installed
3Ease of operation
If a storage box is integrated with the slicer, then the convenience is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The storage box is merged with the slicer body into an integrated unit. The box is positioned to receive bread slices directly from the cutting area, and the entire assembly functions as a unified device, reducing the need for separate storage containers while maintaining simplicity in the overall structure
