The friction between the stainless steel shell of small household appliances, oil press base shell, and the countertop first comes from the material design of the contact surface. The bottom of the oil press base shell usually uses a rubber or silicone anti-skid pad, which has a strong friction coefficient and can form a close fit with the countertop. When the machine is running, even if there is a slight vibration, the anti-skid pad can increase the contact area with the countertop through its own elastic deformation, thereby enhancing the friction, reducing the possibility of sliding from the source, and making the machine more stable during operation.
The existence of this friction can effectively offset the lateral force generated when the machine is running. During the process of squeezing oil, the internal mechanical parts of the oil press will generate a certain torque, which may cause the machine to have a lateral displacement trend. The friction between the base and the countertop will form a reverse resistance, hindering the occurrence of this displacement, ensuring that the machine always remains in the initial position and will not gradually deviate due to continuous vibration, providing a basic guarantee for stable operation.
For countertops of different materials, the adaptability of this friction also shows obvious advantages. Whether it is a smooth marble countertop or a slightly textured wooden countertop, the anti-slip design of the oil press base shell can maintain sufficient friction by adjusting the contact state between itself and the countertop. On a smooth countertop, the adsorption of the anti-slip pad will be enhanced; on a rough countertop, the texture of the anti-slip pad can be embedded in the gap of the countertop. Both situations can effectively prevent sliding, reflecting good environmental adaptability.
The stability brought by friction indirectly improves the safety during operation. When the user adds oil or takes out the squeezed oil, if the machine slips, the oil may spill or even the machine may tip over. Sufficient friction can keep the machine firmly fixed on the countertop, reducing the risk of accidents caused by sliding. Users do not need to be distracted to fix the machine during operation, and can focus more on the operation itself. This sense of security also makes the user experience smoother.
After long-term use, the friction between the oil press base shell and the countertop can still remain stable, thanks to the durability of the anti-slip material. Rubber or silicone anti-skid pads have good anti-aging properties. Even after long-term squeezing and friction, they will not easily lose elasticity or wear excessively, thus ensuring that the friction will not decrease significantly. This durability means that the machine can maintain a good anti-skid effect throughout its service life, without the need to frequently replace anti-skid parts, reducing maintenance costs.
This anti-skid design can also reduce the noise of the machine during operation. When the machine vibrates, if there is sliding between the base and the countertop, additional noise will be generated due to friction; and sufficient friction can make the two fit tightly, the relative displacement during vibration is reduced, and the noise is also reduced. Especially in a quiet kitchen environment, this noise reduction effect can make the operation process more comfortable, avoid unnecessary noise interference, and enhance the overall pleasure of use.
In addition, the stable placement brought by friction also provides support for the precise operation of the machine. The pressing process of the oil press requires precise coordination between the various components. If the machine slips, the relative position of the internal components may shift, affecting the efficiency and quality of the oil pressing. The stable placement state can ensure the coordination of the mechanical operation, so that each pressing can maintain a consistent effect, which indirectly improves the working performance and output quality of the oil press.
