About Cooker 便携式炉具

Cooker是一款专为户外野餐与露营设计的便携式炉具。气罐、炊具、火源与储油装置集成于一个紧凑的机身之中。折叠结构的灵感来自手提箱的造型,使炉具保持轻巧、便于携带。Cooker如同箱包一般开合,让野外操作变得简单便捷。产品以液化石油气为燃料,燃烧值高,且无烟尘、无异味。这一设计邀请年轻人走出城市,在自然中共同烹饪。

Production Technology: The gas oven used in the product uses liquefied petroleum gas as the combustion material. The combustion value of liquefied petroleum gas is very high, it is reliable, and it is free of soot and odor, and it will not leak.
Design Challenge: This design process is difficult and tortuous, from the beginning of the idea, to the preliminary establishment of the scheme, with quite a long time, from carbon oven to gas oven; The project went through many iterations from the sketch to the model making. The basic framework of the whole project remained the same from the prototype to the final product. The concept of product portability ran through the whole design, and the final design concept was consistent with the original idea.
Research: The epidemic era will come to an end one day. The product is designed with high safety and complete functions. It is hoped that with the portable picnic product, people can experience more outdoor sports, put down their mobile phones, and go to the countryside for a picnic with relatives and friends, and feel nature. I hope that contemporary young people can make delicious food with friends and relatives by themselves
Inspiration: After fully understanding the use form of the oven, I decided to start from the structure and function. The shape inspiration came from the fashionable suitcase. Combined with the folding structure of the suitcase, the suitcase shape matched with the structure characteristics of the existing carabinery oven pan, so as to achieve the characteristics of portability and lightness.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2022 in Zhengzhou and finished in June 2022 in Zhengzhou, and was exhibited in Zhengzhou in June 2022.
Operation Flow: It is simple to operate the product like a case which can be opened and closed.You can deal with the object by yourself and cook with friends and relatives.
