Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If the smart under range is installed under the table, then the cooking container can be heated by stronger magnetic fields, but the temperature sensing becomes difficult and operation control becomes troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
A body pad is introduced as an intermediary component between the smart under range and the cooking container. The body pad includes a temperature sensing part that directly contacts the cooking container, serving as a mediator to transmit temperature information from the cooking container to the control system, thereby solving the temperature sensing difficulty caused by the under-table installation
2Measurement precision
If the temperature sensing means is installed separately after piercing the table, then the temperature can be sensed, but the installation becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The temperature sensing part is merged with the body pad to form an integrated temperature sensing device. This combination eliminates the need for separate installation of temperature sensing means through table piercing, as the body pad itself serves as the mounting structure for the temperature sensor, greatly simplifying the installation process while maintaining accurate temperature measurement
3Ease of manufacture
If the temperature sensing part is arranged only at the smart under range induction, then the installation is simplified, but the temperature detection precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The body pad acts as an intermediary that bridges the gap between the smart under range induction and the cooking container. The temperature sensing part in the body pad directly contacts the cooking container to obtain accurate temperature readings, while the transmitting circuit part in the induction unit communicates this information wirelessly, thus achieving both easy installation and precise temperature detection
