BraunPrize 2012: Batidora SWT

Este es un proyecto que desarrollé junto a dos amigos para participar en el Braun Prize 2012, que es un concurso que realiza la empresa Braun en el que pueden participar tanto estudiantes, profesionales o aficionados al diseño. 

Nuestro diseño fue el de una batidora de alto diseño, pensada para no tener que guardarla en un cajón, sino tenerla como un elemento "decorativo" más de la cocina.

Ideas previas

Descripción

The wireless mixer concept that we show includes many technical modifications in order to improve security traits, performance features and aesthetics that making obsolete the current mixer models.

The set include an auto clean and charge station. Once introduced the mixer into this station and activated the clean program, the station activates the mixer blades, making them spin under an alcoholic-water solution. With the blades movement and the solution joint action, the dirty is removed. The alcohol additive allows a hygienic cleaning. Simultaneously, the battery is charged through an induction system placed in the contact zone between the mixer and the charge station, on which a luminous LED band show the charge level. Two cleaning programs are available: Intense, for an exhaustive cleaning; and Economic, for a fast cleaning. When the station finishes the mixer cleaning and charge, it turns off automatically in order to save energy.

Also, the mixer incorporates a capacitive touch screen in order to make the mixer set up and indicate information about the battery. Furthermore, this screen offers information about cleaning remaining time when the mixer is placed in the station. As safe measures adopted to improve the security, points out the use of a turn on protocol on which two different and independent hand movements are required to its switch on, and the presence of a gyro sensor that constraints the mixer work angle.

A magnetic fixing system for the accessories is adopted, and the use of ceramic materials in the new blade concept: more hygienic, with a lasting sharp, tasteless and a higher strength than the stainless steel blades.

Finally, the mixer body and the foot are manufactured with stainless steel. In the case of the body, many soft surfaces in plastic rubber are added in the grip zones.
