Juice squeezing module for juicer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional juicers face issues with remnants being mixed with the juice due to the structural placement of the engagement gear, which limits design freedom and efficiency in the juice squeezing drum.
Innovation Solution
The engagement gear for the rotating brush is positioned on the edge of the bottom surface of the juice squeezing drum, rather than the area where the juice squeezing screw is mounted, and a gear module is used to transmit the driving force from the driving shaft to the engagement gear, allowing for improved design freedom and prevention of remnants entering the juice.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the engagement gear is positioned on the bottom surface of the juice squeezing drum where the juice squeezing screw is mounted, then the structure is compact, but remnants are mixed with the discharged juice and design freedom is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The engagement gear is repositioned from the bottom surface to the side surface of the juice squeezing drum, utilizing a different spatial dimension. This dimensional relocation allows the gear to be positioned away from the juice discharge path while maintaining structural integration, thus preventing remnant contamination without compromising manufacturing ease
2Device complexity
If the engagement gear is positioned on the bottom surface of the juice squeezing drum, then the structure is simplified, but the freedom of design on the bottom surface is decreased
Solution Approach 1:
By moving the engagement gear to the side surface of the drum, the design opens up the bottom surface for alternative configurations and optimizations. This dimensional shift maintains structural simplicity while significantly enhancing design freedom for the bottom surface area
Solution Approach 2:
The gear system is segmented into a separate module positioned on the side surface, independent from the bottom surface components. This segmentation allows the bottom surface to be optimized for its specific functions while the gear module handles power transmission, thereby increasing overall design flexibility
3Ease of manufacture
If the engagement gear is positioned on the bottom surface of the juice squeezing drum, then the structure is conventional, but remnants may be introduced into the juice through the discharge passage
Solution Approach 1:
Relocating the engagement gear to the side surface creates a clear spatial separation between the gear mechanism and the juice discharge path. This dimensional repositioning ensures that remnants from the gear area cannot contaminate the juice, thereby improving reliability without significantly complicating the manufacturing process
