Solution Overview

Problem

Existing food processing apparatuses require a flat bottom surface for the cup body to connect with the host, limiting the integration of functional members like ice shaving devices, resulting in a single function for the cup body.

Innovation Solution

A food processing apparatus container design featuring a cover assembly with holding members and an annular extension body, allowing the cup body to be connected detachably with the host, and incorporating an insurance triggering member for safety and a rotatable connection with a safety lifting body, enabling the cup body to have various functions and ensuring safe operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the cup body has a flat bottom surface for connection with the host, then the connection structure is simple, but the integration of functional members like ice shaving devices is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection structure simplicityVSAvoidfunctional integration capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The bottom of the cup body is segmented into multiple surfaces: a flat bottom surface for simple connection, and a side surface with an opening for integrating functional members like ice shaving devices. This segmentation allows different parts of the bottom structure to serve different purposes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The functional member (ice shaving device) is nested within the cup body structure through the opening in the side surface, allowing multiple functions to be integrated within the same container assembly without compromising the simple flat bottom connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the container is detachably connected with the host, then the adaptability and ease of cleaning are improved, but the reliability of connection may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetachable connection flexibilityVSAvoidconnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The detachable connection structure merges the cup body and cover assembly into a unified unit that can be easily attached and detached from the host as a single assembly, maintaining both flexibility and stability through the integrated design of the connection components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The detachable connection structure serves multiple functions: enabling easy attachment/detachment for cleaning and maintenance, providing adaptability for different usage scenarios, and ensuring reliable connection during operation through properly designed engagement mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If the stirring shaft can rotate freely, then the food processing function is improved, but accidental operation and safety risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestirring shaft rotation smoothnessVSAvoidaccidental operation risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The insurance triggering member is positioned to preliminarily prevent accidental rotation by requiring deliberate user action (pressing the operating member) to disengage the safety mechanism before the stirring shaft can rotate, thus counteracting potential accidental operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

Solution Approach 2:

The insurance triggering member acts as an intermediary safety mechanism between the operating member and the stirring shaft, requiring deliberate activation to permit rotation, thus preventing direct accidental operation while maintaining smooth rotation when properly activated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
