四點設計 Contact to KALIX A Next-Generation Sampling Tool Used in Incinerators for cooperation
This design is developed from the high-risk, repetitive, and physically demanding working conditions of incinerator sampling personnel. It comprehensively addresses key pain points in existing tools, including mismatches with real operational needs, low efficiency, and insufficient protection.
The sampling shovel is improved from a conventional gardening shovel by adding an auxiliary mid-handle and enlarging the blade area, allowing sampling tasks to be performed with less effort, greater stability, and improved safety. The cutting tool abandons the traditional sickle form and is redesigned as a quick-release blade, enabling faster access and enhancing emergency response and workflow efficiency.
The safety helmet integrates protective goggles to reduce the number of wearable components and shorten preparation time. The respirator is equipped with an air quality warning indicator, providing real-time alerts of hazardous conditions. The unit-volume container adopts a foldable design, balancing operational efficiency with ease of storage.
Together, these elements form an integrated sampling tool system centered on ergonomics, safety, and efficiency.
