Solution Overview

Problem

Existing coffee machines have fixed cup positions, limiting the adjustability of the receiving space, which affects the device's capacity optimization and portability.

Innovation Solution

A telescopic container assembly with an adjustment component, comprising a mounting bracket and a cup, allows the receiving space to be enlarged or reduced using a slot rail and a first slider, enabling flexible adjustment of the cup's position.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the cup is arranged in a fixed position on the mounting bracket, then the structure is simple and stable, but the receiving space capacity cannot be adjusted and the device occupies considerable space when not in use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustability of receiving space capacityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The cup is transformed from a fixed static position to a dynamically adjustable position through the slot rail and slider mechanism, allowing the receiving space capacity to be changed according to actual needs while maintaining structural simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Volume of moving object

If the cup is arranged in a fixed position, then the structure is stable, but the device cannot be compressed to a compact size when not in use, reducing portability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereceiving space volumeVSAvoidportability
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The receiving space volume is made dynamically adjustable through the telescopic mechanism, allowing the device to be compressed to a compact size for portability when not in use, while maintaining stability through the guided slot rail structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The present utility model relates to the technical field of coffee machines, and specifically discloses a telescopic container assembly and a coffee machine. The assembly comprises a mounting bracket and a cup, with the cup sleeved on the outer side of the mounting bracket. A receiving space for accommodating liquid is formed between the cup and the mounting bracket, and an adjustment component is arranged between the mounting bracket and the cup for enlarging or reducing the receiving space. Through the provision of the adjustment component, the receiving space can be increased or decreased, allowing the size of the receiving space to be flexibly adjusted as needed. Moreover, when not in use, the receiving space can be reduced, making the device easier to carry.
