How to make a blender with your own hands: step by step instructions
Everyone in the apartment, somewhere in the pantry lying old broken appliances, electrical appliances, things, details, which seem to be no longer needed, but it's a pity to throw them away. So what, if you show ingenuity and try to collect something useful from them - for example, blender? Consider, how to make a blender with your own hands.
what you need
Actually, the simplest manual (immersive) the blender has not so difficult device, as it seems. Actually, it's just a motor with a button, speed mode switches and various attachments for grinding products. That's all! It is not difficult to make such a device with your own hands, in the presence of appropriate parts and a minimum set of tools.
We will need it for this:
- Small electric motor.
- Container with plastic lid.
- Plastic bottle 0,5 l.
- Switch with wires.
- Power supply connector.
- Ballpoint pen.
- Power Supply.
Set of tools and materials:
- Stationery knife.
- Soldering iron.
- Super glue.
- File.
- Scissors for metal.
- Zherstyana plate.
- Solder.
- Aluminum wire.
- Marker or felt-tip pen.
Step-by-step instructions
From all the above, the most difficult to get an electric motor and a mains adapter with the appropriate characteristics of current and voltage. Motor from children's toys, battery operated, will not fit here, since it does not have enough power. But the electric motor from an old cassette player or a broken music center is quite suitable.
Blender body, in which all details will fasten, we will serve a plastic bottle, which we cut from the bottom so, that it completely contained the motor. Next, solder two wires to the terminals of the electric motor and pass them into the neck of the bottle through the hole in its lid, made for installation of the switch.
We cut wires of the motor with such calculation, so that they fit in the free space of the bottle after installing the switch in the hole of the stopper, and solder their ends to the switch. We also connect the wires of the switch and the power supply connector with wires. Then make a small hole in the bottle under the connector of the power supply and insert the connector into it. Screw the plug with the switch on the neck.
Now all that remains is to seal the structure from the side of the electric motor, for which we use a suitable size plastic lid from any container, having previously made a hole in it for the spindle of the electric motor. All loose parts are fixed with instant plastic glue.
We pass to production of a cutting nozzle. To do this, cut a cross-shaped cutting element from a tin plate and sharpen its edges with a file. In the center of the resulting nozzle make a hole for its attachment to the shaft of the electric motor.
As a shaft, you can use any suitable size pin, which can be securely fastened to the spindle of the electric motor. Example, for this purpose the screw-driver of the average sizes without the handle or the strong plastic case of the ball-point pen will perfectly approach. After joining all the manufactured parts together, our blender is ready to use.
conclusion
As you have already understood from the above, branded blender differs from homemade only in convenience and reliability. It also has an electric motor control board for different modes of operation and a fuse, which protects the internal parts of the blender from voltage drops and overheating.
Often the cause of a blender breakdown is the failure of its fuse, and not something more serious.
But for the elimination of such a "malfunction" in the service you can take money, as for a full-fledged repair. Therefore it is better to understand at least a little in the device of some simple household appliances, than overpay for services, which are cheaper than air. It is also important to be able to disassemble and repair the blender with your own hands.
