Barbecue cylinder
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing barbecue cylinders pose risks of user scalding due to high temperatures and are difficult to transfer after use due to high heat.
Innovation Solution
A barbecue cylinder design featuring a detachable end cover and handle, with the opening away from the heated main body, reducing user scalding risk and enabling easy transfer.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the cage door is arranged at the heated cage body to enable food access, then food can be taken and put during barbecue, but the cage door becomes heated to high temperature causing user scalding risk
Solution Approach 1:
The barbecue device is divided into a heated barrel section and a non-heated handle section. The handle is detached from the barrel and connected via a hinge mechanism, creating separate thermal zones. Users interact with the cool handle while the barrel remains heated for cooking, eliminating scalding risk during food access.
Solution Approach 2:
A hinge connection acts as an intermediary between the heated barrel and the handle. This hinge mechanism allows the handle to rotate and open for food access while maintaining physical separation between the user's hand and the heated barrel, transferring the food access function without transferring heat.
2Temperature
If the barbecue cylinder is heated to high temperature for cooking, then food can be barbecued, but the barbecue cylinder becomes difficult to transfer after use
Solution Approach 1:
The barbecue device is segmented into a stationary heated barrel and a movable handle assembly. After cooking, users can detach or rotate the handle away from the hot barrel, allowing easy transfer and movement of the barrel without handling the heated portions. The mesh structure also facilitates heat dissipation for safer handling.
Solution Approach 2:
The hinge connection provides dynamic movement capability, allowing the handle to rotate between a closed position during cooking and an open/ detached position for transfer. This dynamic configuration enables the system to adapt between cooking mode and transfer mode, solving the contradiction between maintaining heat and enabling movement.
3Ease of operation
If the end cover is detachably connected to allow opening and closing, then food can be accessed, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The end cover is merged with the handle assembly as a single detachable unit. Instead of separate mechanisms for the cover and handle, they are combined into one component that opens and closes with the handle, reducing the number of parts and simplifying the overall structure while maintaining food access functionality.

AI summary
Provided in the present application is a barbecue cylinder. The barbecue cylinder includes a cylinder, and an end cover and a handle which are connected to the cylinder, where an accommodating cavity is formed at the back of the cylinder and is configured to place food; an opening is formed at one end of the cylinder; the end cover is configured to cover the opening; and at least a part of the end cover is detachably connected to the cylinder, so that the end cover can be opened or closed relative to the cylinder. A user needs to open the end cover to put or take food during barbecue, since the opening is away from a heated main body portion of the cylinder, the temperature at the end cover is relatively low, thereby reducing the risk of scalding the user.
