Solution Overview
Problem
The existing cordless liquid heating devices have an integrated structure for electric and signal connections, making maintenance costly and inefficient as the entire device needs to be replaced when either connection fails.
Innovation Solution
The cordless liquid heating device separates the transmission paths for electric energy and temperature signals, allowing for independent maintenance of each component, with separate cordless electric and signal connectors that enable secure and reliable connections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the cordless electric connection part and cordless signal connection part have an integrated structure, then the device structure is simplified, but when one part goes wrong the whole structure must be replaced resulting in high maintenance cost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the integrated connection structure into separate functional modules: the cordless electric connection part and the cordless signal connection part are independently designed and connected through a signal transmission wire. This segmentation allows individual components to be replaced without replacing the entire connection assembly, thereby reducing maintenance costs while maintaining structural simplicity.
2Device complexity
If the cordless electric connection part and cordless signal connection part have an integrated structure, then the device structure is simplified, but maintenance requires replacing the whole structure resulting in inefficient maintenance
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the connection system into electric and signal parts that can be independently accessed and replaced, the patent eliminates the need to disassemble the entire integrated structure during maintenance. This reduces maintenance time significantly while keeping the overall device structure simple and manageable.
3Ease of repair
If separate cordless electric and signal connectors are used, then maintenance is facilitated and costs are reduced, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a signal transmission wire as an intermediary element that connects the separate cordless electric connection part and cordless signal connection part. This intermediary component enables independent replacement of each connector while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure, as the wire serves as a straightforward connection medium without adding significant complexity.
