Solution Overview

Problem

Household appliances that combine wall-breaking and slow juicing functions occupy large space and are costly due to the need for separate machines, which cater to different tastes but lack integration.

Innovation Solution

An integrated structure that combines a wall-breaking machine and a slow juicer using a housing with a driving motor, one-way bearing, and multi-stage transmission mechanism, allowing for quick rotation and damping to switch between wall-breaking and juicing functions by rotating the output shafts and fixing different cutters, reducing size and space occupancy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a wall-breaking machine and a slow juicer are bought separately to meet different taste demands, then the functional versatility is improved, but the space occupancy and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional versatilityVSAvoidspace occupancy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines a wall-breaking machine and a slow juicer into a single integrated appliance. The housing contains both a first output shaft for wall-breaking function and a second output shaft for slow juicing function, allowing both functions to be performed by one device rather than requiring separate machines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The integrated appliance is designed to perform multiple functions: wall-breaking (quick extraction) and slow juicing. By incorporating two output shafts with different rotational speeds and two interchangeable cutters, the device can adapt to different processing needs, making it a universal appliance for both wall-breaking and juicing operations.

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

3Speed

If the first output shaft rotates quickly to realize wall-breaking function, then the processing speed is improved, but the structure complexity increases due to the one-way bearing and transmission mechanism

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverotation speedVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a one-way bearing that allows the first output shaft to rotate in one direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) to drive the second output shaft, while locking in the opposite direction. This dynamic mechanism enables the system to automatically switch between wall-breaking mode (quick rotation) and slow juicing mode (damped rotation) based on the rotation direction, simplifying control while maintaining functional versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Area of stationary object

If the second output shaft is sheathed on the first output shaft with coaxial arrangement, then the space occupancy is reduced, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespace occupancyVSAvoidcoaxial alignment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent places the second output shaft inside the first output shaft in a coaxial arrangement. The second output shaft is sheathed on the first output shaft, with both shafts sharing the same central axis. This nested configuration maximizes space utilization within the housing while enabling independent rotation of each shaft for their respective functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

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 integrated appliance achieves both quick extraction and slow juicing functions with reduced size and cost, allowing for easy switching between functions by rotating the output shafts, thus addressing the space and cost issues of separate machines.

Implementation Method 1

a one-way bearing is fixed on the first output shaft; when the first output shaft rotates in one of a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction, an outer ring of the one-way bearing rotates and the second output shaft rotates; and when the first output shaft rotates in the other direction, an inner ring of the one-way bearing rotates and the outer ring thereof is locked

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectOne-way bearing mechanism: Ratchet

Implementation Method 2

when the outer ring of the one-way bearing rotates, the one-way bearing and the transmission mechanism provide damping, and in this case, the second output shaft rotates and the first output shaft rotates to realize the slow juicing function

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectMechanical damping: Damping

AI summary

An integrated wall-breaking machine and slow juicer structure includes a housing; a driving motor linked with a first output shaft is provided within the housing; the first output shaft is linked with a second output shaft via a single-stage or a multi-stage transmission mechanism; a one-way bearing is fixed on the first output shaft; when the first output shaft rotates in one of a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction, an outer ring of the one-way bearing rotates and the second output shaft rotates; and when the first output shaft rotates in the other direction, an inner ring of the one-way bearing rotates and the outer ring thereof is locked. The wall-breaking machine and the slow juicer are integrated. By replacing different cutters and by rotating the first output shaft clockwise or counterclockwise, the wall-breaking function or the juicing function is realized.
