一个能显示加热状态的热熔胶枪
Hot glue gun that shows heating status
Backgroung · Problems
* without touching it, we won't know the heat of the glue gun *
- It takes a while to preheat until the glue can be extruded. There is no feedback that the preheating is completed,so it often requires multiple touches or attempts to extrude the glue. Or it would be left somewhere, causing overheating and leaking glue.
- The glue outlet is exposed and the temperature of it is very high. Even if the power is turned off, it still takes some time for the heat of glue gun to dissipate, and there is no feedback on whether the heat has dissipated.
设计背景 · 问题
* 如果不通过触碰，我们无法知道胶枪的热度 *
- 开始预热至能挤出胶需要一段时间，没有预热完成的反馈，往往需要多次触摸和尝试挤胶，或被遗忘在桌面或某处，造成过热漏胶
- 出胶口裸露且温度很高，即使关闭电源，胶枪的热度仍要一段时间散去，没有热度是否散去的反馈，放在桌上容易使人误触而烫伤
Concept
* By displaying the heat with color, we can know the heat of the glue gun from its color *
- The plastic parts near the glue outlet will be mixed with Thermochromic Pigment. When the inside begin to heat up, the heat will be transferred to the outer plastic parts, causing its temperature to change, By seeing the color changing, people get to know the preheating situation and heat statue of the glue gun, which reduce the inconvenience and damage caused by unknowing the heat.
概念
* 将热度用颜色显示，我们就能通过颜色知道胶枪的热度 *
在出胶口附近的塑料件中混入感温变色的色料，当出胶口及内部的加热元件开始变热时，热量会传递至外面的塑料件，导致其温度发生变化，人们看到颜色的变化，了解到胶枪的预热情况和热度状态，减少不知热度造成的不便和伤害。
将圆筒向前推，至卡进卡扣，使得胶枪能稳定被放在桌面上。同时，圆筒遮盖住出胶口，防止误碰高温的出胶口
Push the cylinder forward until it clicks into the clip, so that the glue gun can be placed stably on the table. At the same time, the cylinder covers the glue outlet
底部掏空，用于电源线收纳，使用前，只需轻轻抽出便可使用
The power cord is store on the empty of the bottom and can be simply pulled out.
长按电源按键打开，短按关闭；亮灯即通电。
Long press the power button to turn on, short press to turn off. It is working when the light is on.
