Stirring Device with Draining Base for Hygienic Temporary Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Stirring devices lack a dedicated container for storage, leading to accidental collisions, contamination by dust and bacteria, and hygiene issues when placed aside during use.
Innovation Solution
A stirring device with a base that includes an accommodating groove with draining holes, allowing the stirring component to be partially disposed within, providing a stable placement space and preventing contamination and accidents.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the stirring device is placed aside during use, then it is convenient for temporary storage, but it may suffer from accidental collisions or falls due to random placement
Solution Approach 1:
The base serves as an intermediary structure between the stirring device and the placement surface. It provides a dedicated accommodating groove that securely holds the stirring device, preventing accidental collisions or falls while maintaining ease of temporary storage.
Solution Approach 2:
The accommodating groove with retaining wall forms a protective enclosure that adapts to the stirring device shape, providing stable placement without rigid constraints.
2Ease of operation
If the stirring device is placed aside during use, then it is convenient for temporary storage, but it is prone to contamination by dust, bacteria, and other pollutants
Solution Approach 1:
The base acts as a protective intermediary between the stirring device and the external environment. The accommodating groove with retaining wall creates a barrier that prevents dust and bacteria from contaminating the stirring device during temporary storage.
Solution Approach 2:
The accommodating groove creates a protected environment that isolates the stirring device from harmful external factors such as dust and bacteria, maintaining a cleaner storage space.
3Ease of operation
If the stirring device is placed on a flat surface, then it is easy to store, but residual water accumulates affecting hygiene
Solution Approach 1:
The draining holes extract residual water from the accommodating groove, preventing water accumulation and associated hygiene issues while maintaining easy storage capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The draining holes enable the base to automatically drain residual water without external intervention, maintaining hygiene through self-service functionality.
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 solution effectively prevents the stirring device from rolling, sliding, or contaminating other objects, while allowing residual water to drain, thereby improving cleaning and drying efficiency and maintaining hygiene.
Implementation Method 1
at least one draining hole for communicating the accommodating groove with the outside is defined on a groove bottom wall of the accommodating groove
