Rotary goblet
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing rotary goblets require manual tilting and can tip over when rotated forcefully, leading to an inconvenient and monotonous user experience.
Innovation Solution
A rotary goblet design featuring a goblet body connected to a connecting rod, with a bearing mounted on the base and internal/external threads allowing the connecting rod to screw into the bearing, enabling smooth and stable automatic rotation without tilting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If a raised support is provided at the bottom center of the goblet to enable automatic rotation, then the goblet can rotate automatically, but the goblet becomes slightly tilted and may tip over when rotated forcefully
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the rotation support function into two separate components: a bearing mounted on the base and a connecting rod attached to the goblet body. This segmentation allows the goblet to rotate horizontally on the base without tilting, as the connecting rod transmits rotation without requiring the goblet to be tilted toward the rotation center.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting rod acts as an intermediary between the bearing on the base and the goblet body. It transmits the rotation from the bearing to the goblet while maintaining the goblet's upright position, eliminating the need for the goblet to tilt toward the rotation center as in traditional designs.
2Productivity
If manual shaking is used to wake up wine, then the wine can be agitated, but it causes fatigue and occupies the user's hand
Solution Approach 1:
The goblet performs wine agitation automatically through horizontal rotation enabled by the bearing and connecting rod mechanism. The user simply places the goblet on a rotating surface, and the rotation automatically agitates the wine without requiring manual shaking, thus eliminating hand fatigue and improving convenience.
3Productivity
If the goblet is designed for automatic rotation, then wine agitation is improved, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The bearing and connecting rod mechanism serves multiple functions: it enables automatic rotation for wine agitation, maintains the goblet's upright position during rotation, and allows the goblet to be placed flat on the base like a normal goblet. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional complex components.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of mounting the rotation mechanism inside the goblet body or requiring the goblet to tilt toward the rotation center (traditional approach), the invention inverts the approach by mounting the bearing on the base and using a connecting rod to transmit rotation, allowing the goblet to remain upright and flat-placed.
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 goblet can be automatically rotated to wake up wine without manual tilting, ensuring stability and ease of use, while maintaining the ability to be placed flat like a normal goblet.
Implementation Method 1
a bearing is mounted at the top of the base, and the bottom of the connecting rod is connected to an inner side of an inner ring of the bearing

AI summary
A rotary goblet is provided, it comprises a goblet body and a base, a bottom of the goblet body is connected to a connecting rod, a bearing is mounted at a top of the base, an inner side of the inner ring of the bearing is provided with a internal thread, and an outer side of a bottom of the connecting rod is provided with a external thread corresponding to the internal thread, and the bottom of the connecting rod is screwed connected to the inner side of the inner ring of the bearing; a connecting seat is mounted at the bottom of the goblet body, an internal threaded hole is provided on an inner side of the connecting seat, and a threaded column corresponding to the internal threaded hole is provided at a top of the connecting rod. The top of the base is provided with a mounting hole for positioning and mounting of the bearing. The rotary goblet in the present disclosure is simple in structure, smooth in placement, smooth in rotation and stable in rotation. When it is necessary to shake the liquid in the goblet body, the rotary goblet can realize that the rotary goblet is rotated on the desktop to wake up the wine automatically. The goblet body can also be placed flat on the desktop as a normal goblet, which can be used for both purposes and meets the diverse needs of users. It is easy to operate, easy to use, the consumer experience is good.
