NINEIDEA：Shelf是一款小型户外产品设计的折叠烧烤架，携带起来像一个细长的公文包，配色、材料和饰面等灵感来自DHL的设计美学。这款有两个可伸缩的架子，用来补充桌子和烤架的空间。烧烤架由电池供电，为烤架的自动点火系统提供动力。
在现代生活中，户外烧烤成为了人们休闲娱乐、社交聚会的热门活动。而户外折叠烧烤架作为这一活动的重要工具，其设计的优劣直接影响着用户的使用体验。优秀的工业设计能够让户外折叠烧烤架兼具便携性、功能性和美观性。
便携性设计：让出行更轻松
便携性是户外折叠烧烤架设计的关键要素之一。想象一下，当你满心欢喜地计划一场户外烧烤之旅，却被一个笨重、难以携带的烧烤架搞得兴致全无，那是多么扫兴的事情。因此，设计师在设计时需要充分考虑烧烤架的折叠方式和重量。
在折叠方式上，应采用简单易懂、操作便捷的设计。例如，采用模块化设计，将烧烤架分解为几个独立的部分，通过巧妙的连接方式，使各个部分能够快速组装和拆卸。这样，用户在使用时可以迅速搭建起烧烤架，使用完毕后又能轻松折叠收纳，节省空间。一些烧烤架还采用了可伸缩的设计，能够根据需要调整尺寸，进一步提高了便携性。
在减轻重量方面，设计师可以选择轻质但坚固的材料。例如，铝合金具有重量轻、强度高、耐腐蚀等优点，是制作户外折叠烧烤架的理想材料。此外，还可以通过优化结构设计，减少不必要的部件，从而降低烧烤架的整体重量。这样，即使是女性或儿童也能够轻松携带烧烤架，享受户外烧烤的乐趣。
功能性设计：满足多样需求
户外折叠烧烤架的功能性设计也是至关重要的。它不仅要能够满足基本的烧烤需求，还要具备一些附加功能，以提高用户的使用体验。
在烧烤功能方面，烧烤架的加热方式和火力调节是关键。常见的加热方式有炭火加热、燃气加热和电加热等。炭火加热能够带来独特的炭火香气，但操作相对复杂；燃气加热则更加便捷，火力调节也更加精准；电加热则适合在一些不允许使用明火的场合使用。设计师可以根据不同的使用场景和用户需求，选择合适的加热方式，并设计出合理的火力调节装置，让用户能够轻松控制烧烤的火候。
户外折叠烧烤架的工业设计是一个综合性的过程，需要设计师在便携性、功能性、美观性和环保性等方面进行全面考虑。只有这样，才能设计出满足用户需求、具有市场竞争力的户外折叠烧烤架，让人们在享受户外烧烤乐趣的同时，也能感受到工业设计的魅力。
Fashionable and stylish outdoor product design: folding barbecue grill
NINEIDEA: Shelf is a folding grill designed for small outdoor products. It looks like a slim briefcase when carried. Color matching, materials and finishes are inspired by DHL’s design aesthetics. This model has two extendable shelves to supplement the space of the table and grill. The barbecue grill is powered by batteries and supplies power to the grill’s automatic ignition system.
In modern life, outdoor barbecue has become a popular activity for people to relax, entertain, and socialize. As an important tool for this activity, the design of outdoor folding barbecue grills directly affects the user’s experience. Excellent industrial design enables outdoor folding barbecue grills to combine portability, functionality, and aesthetics.
Portable design: making travel easier
Portability is one of the key elements in the design of outdoor folding grills. Imagine planning an outdoor barbecue trip with great joy, only to be completely uninterested by a bulky and difficult to carry barbecue grill. How disappointing it would be. Therefore, designers need to fully consider the folding method and weight of the barbecue grill when designing.
In terms of folding method, a simple and easy to understand design with convenient operation should be adopted. For example, adopting modular design, the barbecue grill is decomposed into several independent parts, and through clever connection methods, each part can be quickly assembled and disassembled. In this way, users can quickly set up a grill and easily fold and store it after use, saving space. Some barbecue grills also adopt a retractable design, which can adjust the size according to needs, further improving portability.
In terms of reducing weight, designers can choose lightweight but sturdy materials. For example, aluminum alloy has the advantages of light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, making it an ideal material for making outdoor folding barbecue grills. In addition, the overall weight of the barbecue grill can be reduced by optimizing the structural design and reducing unnecessary components. In this way, even women or children can easily carry barbecue grills and enjoy the fun of outdoor grilling.
Functional design: meeting diverse needs
The functional design of outdoor folding barbecue grills is also crucial. It not only needs to meet basic barbecue needs, but also has some additional features to improve the user experience.
In terms of barbecue function, the heating method and firepower adjustment of the barbecue grill are key. Common heating methods include charcoal fire heating, gas heating, and electric heating. Charcoal heating can bring a unique charcoal aroma, but the operation is relatively complex; Gas heating is more convenient and the adjustment of firepower is more precise; Electric heating is suitable for use in situations where open flames are not allowed. Designers can choose appropriate heating methods and design reasonable firepower adjustment devices based on different usage scenarios and user needs, allowing users to easily control the barbecue temperature.
The industrial design of outdoor folding barbecue grills is a comprehensive process that requires designers to comprehensively consider portability, functionality, aesthetics, and environmental friendliness. Only in this way can we design outdoor folding barbecue grills that meet user needs and have market competitiveness, allowing people to enjoy the fun of outdoor barbecue while also feeling the charm of industrial design.
