随着冬天正在进行中,我们中间的谁不欣赏下午的管道热茶?当然,我们中的许多人都是咖啡饮用者,但我们也很欣赏一个文明茶。我们对热饮料的热爱让我们对Teforia可能带到桌子,特别是如何实现的事情。回答这些问题是什么更好的方法,而不是把它分开?所以我们做到了。
以下是我们钻入这种拆除的感兴趣的特征:
1.镀铬饰品- 了解如何为您的产品添加视觉爆发,以获得不可忽略的成本
2.弹簧加载输液臂机构- 一个精美设计的机制,...用水填充容器
3.过度工程- 茶infuser真的需要如此复杂吗?

Chrome Trim

我们注意到了镀铬的镀铬的大量注塑塑料部件。其中许多部分有助于在最终组装中创建“镀铬剪裁”。

镀铬注塑成型部件昂贵!该部件必须在模塑之前专门设计用于电镀,确保它们没有盲孔,深槽或尖锐边缘。

Chrome Plating增加了制造过程的时间。零件必须模塑缓慢和热,以确保可以满足电镀和电镀后公差。然后必须覆盖零件,在模塑和冷却之后。

这些铬件并添加一个漂亮的视觉联系the machine, but they also added a lot of unnecessary cost to an already expensive product.
Infusion Arm Open/Close Mechanism


An interesting part of the Teforia is the mechanism that opens and closes the infusion arm.
It’s comprised of numerous injection molded pieces that are acted upon by two extension springs.
该机构在打开位置处牢固地保持臂,当处于下降位置时,将牢固的密封件牢固地密封。
There is also a momentary switch within the mechanism that is depressed when the arm is closed. This switch, along with two switches in the nest that are triggered by inserting the infusion globe and carafe, let one or more of the four PCBAs know that it’s safe to start brewing some piping hot tea.

除了提升和降低输液臂,该机制有用于路由热水管线的规定。
过度工程学

打开这款茶叶并找到四种不同的自定义PCBA,我们非常感到惊讶,用英特尔爱迪生芯片(蓝牙/ WiFi)

This thing even had an RFID Scanner to detect the different tea pods you can use!

We couldn’t help but feel that this machine that brews tea, something that can be achieved with a metal pot and just about any heat source, is grossly over engineered. Juicero???

This awe continued as we began disassembling the “nest”. Its use? Hold the the infusion globe and carafe.What we found? Dozens and dozens of parts, including, but not limited to:

定制注塑成型组件在三种或多种不同的材料中,有些用刀片
主要的外卖
根据我们的制造知识,我们可以提出关于Teforia的以下陈述:
It’s difficult to imagine this product being anything near cost effective to produce. The materials they used are crazy, and we can guess it took high labor costs to assemble.
The R&D alone had to be insane. This is a great product that was developed by a team of designers and engineers, but someone with manufacturing at their core may have been missing from the table.
我们认为这可能是一个由很多人心爱的产品,但是当你想到你可以在亚马逊购买的东西〜10美元时,它很容易觉得这个产品有点多。
