Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the pot body and lever arm are formed integrally, then the structure is simple and strong, but it is difficult to detach, clean, and carry
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the integrated structure into separable components: the pot body, lever arm, and driving unit can be detached from each other. Specifically, the driving unit can be removed from the lever arm, and the lever arm can be removed from the pot body, enabling easy cleaning and carrying while maintaining structural integrity during use
2Extent of automation
If the automatic cooking pot is connected to power supply for use, then it can achieve automatic stir-fry function, but it cannot be used on induction cookers and gas stoves, and is not convenient for outdoor use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the automatic cooking pot to be compatible with multiple heat sources including induction cookers, gas stoves, and electric hot plates. The heating component can be detached and placed on external heat sources, allowing the device to function automatically across different cooking environments without requiring a dedicated power supply connection
3Manufacturing precision
If a baffle is provided on the lever arm, then heating uniformity is improved, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The baffle is designed as a detachable component that can be separated from the lever arm. This segmentation allows the baffle to be removed for cleaning or storage, reducing structural complexity while maintaining its function of improving heating uniformity when installed

AI summary
An automatic cooking pot includes a pot body, a lever arm and a connecting member. The lever arm is fastened in the pot body by a second snap-fit unit, a blending unit is provided at a lower end of the lever arm, the connecting member is connected to a first snap-fit unit, a driving unit is provided above and fastened to the connecting member by the first snap-fit unit, and the lever arm is connected to the driving unit. The lever arm is fixed inside the pot body through the second snap-fit unit, and then the driving unit is fixed through the first snap-fit unit, achieving the effect of easy disassembly and cleaning.
