Solution Overview

Problem

Existing drawer-type heating cookers cannot cook larger objects as they cannot accommodate them on the rotary table.

Innovation Solution

A heating cooker design that includes a drawer body with a turntable and a rotor, where the rotor rotates the turntable to allow for the cooking of larger objects by placing them directly on the drawer body or turntable, enabling the use of a larger cooking surface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If a rotary table is used in a drawer-type heating cooker, then the cooking surface area is increased, but larger objects cannot be accommodated on the rotary table

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecooking surface areaVSAvoidability to accommodate larger objects

Core Design Contradiction:

Area of stationary objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The cooking surface is divided into two functional areas: the rotary table for small objects and the drawer body surface for larger objects. This segmentation allows the system to accommodate both small and large objects effectively, resolving the contradiction between increased cooking surface area and ability to accommodate larger objects.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The drawer body serves multiple functions: it acts as both the drawing mechanism and an additional cooking surface. By making the drawer body multi-functional, the system can accommodate larger objects that cannot fit on the rotary table, while still providing the benefits of rotation for smaller objects.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If the rotary table is used for cooking, then heating efficiency is improved, but the drawer body cannot be fully utilized for cooking larger items

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveheating efficiencyVSAvoidutilizable cooking area

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the rotary table function with the drawer body by allowing the rotary table to rotate while the drawer body remains stationary. This combination enables the system to provide both the heating efficiency of rotation and the additional cooking area of the drawer body, fully utilizing both components for cooking.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention adds a rotational dimension to the drawer body system. By enabling the rotary table to rotate within the drawer body, the system creates a third dimension of movement that enhances heating efficiency while maintaining the additional cooking area provided by the drawer body structure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
