Automatic wok pan
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing automatic wok pans are difficult to clean, cannot be used on induction cookers or gas stoves, and lack the ability to open the lid during cooking, which affects the taste and convenience of dishes.
Innovation Solution
An automatic wok pan design featuring a detachable force arm with notches on the pan body, allowing for easy detachment and reattachment for cleaning, and a rechargeable battery for portable use, along with a mechanism to open the lid during cooking, enabling the addition of ingredients and condiments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If the wok pan is designed as an integrated structure for automatic cooking, then automation is improved, but ease of cleaning deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The force arm is designed as a detachable component that can be separated from the pan body through notches and detachable components (such as snap-fit connections or magnetic attachments). This segmentation allows the force arm to be removed for separate cleaning, solving the cleaning difficulty while maintaining the automatic cooking function when assembled.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the lid is kept closed during cooking to reduce oil smoke, then health comfort is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The force arm is designed to be movable rather than fixed. It can be dynamically adjusted to push the lid open when ingredients need to be added, and then return to its original position to keep the lid closed during cooking. This dynamic capability allows the system to adapt between the two states (closed for smoke reduction, open for ingredient addition) without requiring manual intervention.
3Extent of automation
If the wok pan uses a fixed power source for automatic operation, then automation is improved, but adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The power source (motor and battery) is extracted from the pan body and integrated into the detachable force arm assembly. When automatic cooking is not needed, the entire force arm with its power source can be removed, allowing the pan body to be used as a traditional manual wok on any cooker type (induction, gas, electric). This extraction enables the system to switch between automatic and manual modes and be compatible with different cooking surfaces.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The design facilitates easy cleaning, allows for the addition of ingredients during cooking, and provides the flexibility to use the wok pan on various cooking surfaces, including induction cookers and outdoors, while reducing oil smoke exposure.
Implementation Method 1
a motor, and the power supply and the motor are far away from the pan body; the other side of the motor is connected with a transmission component
Implementation Method 2
a power supply is arranged at the right side in the force arm; the left side of the battery is connected with a motor
