Detachable Frying Basket Handle for Compact Air Fryer Packaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing air fryer designs with fixed or integrally molded handles complicate transportation and packaging due to protruding handles, requiring larger packaging materials and reducing practicality.
Innovation Solution
A detachable handle system for the frying basket, featuring a mounting port and base with a snapping structure, allowing the handle to be securely locked and easily disassembled for storage within the basket, reducing packaging volume and protecting the handle during transport.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the handle is fixed or integrally molded on the frying basket, then the handle connection reliability is improved, but the packaging volume increases and transportation convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The handle is designed as a detachable component separated from the frying basket body. The handle assembly includes a handle bar, mounting base, and snapping structure that can be independently removed and stored inside the frying basket, enabling segmented packaging that reduces overall volume.
Solution Approach 2:
The handle assembly is designed to nest inside the frying basket when detached. The mounting base with snapping structure allows the handle to be securely stored within the basket's internal cavity, creating a compact nested configuration for transportation and storage.
2Volume of moving object
If the handle is detachable, then the packaging volume is reduced and transportation convenience is improved, but the assembly and disassembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The snapping structure is extracted as a separate functional component that enables quick connection and disconnection. The mounting base includes a snapping mechanism that can be easily engaged with the frying basket body without requiring complex tools or procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The snapping structure is designed to enable user-friendly self-service assembly and disassembly. The handle can be attached to or removed from the frying basket by simple user actions without requiring specialized tools or complex procedures, making the system self-servicing.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the handle is detachable, then the handle protection during transport is improved, but the connection time required increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting base and snapping structure are pre-configured on the handle assembly during manufacturing. This preliminary preparation allows for rapid attachment to the frying basket body by simply engaging the pre-installed snapping mechanism, minimizing the time required for assembly and disassembly operations.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The detachable handle system simplifies transportation by reducing packaging volume, enhances assembly and maintenance convenience, and prevents handle collision, while maintaining a secure connection during use.
Implementation Method 1
a resilient member is arranged between the movable end and the mounting base; the movable end of the hook extends and is locked with the snapping port in a snapping manner by the resilient member
