Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional food stirrers lack the ability to simultaneously stir and heat, often requiring separate processes, leading to inefficiency and inconvenience, with existing models having limited speed control and stability issues.
Innovation Solution
A cooking and stirring machine with a machine base, cup body, and heating element, featuring a reduction gear set and one-way bearings for adjustable speed stirring, and a conductor element for simultaneous heating, allowing for high and low-speed stirring and heating capabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If a single-speed motor with mechanical variable speed mechanism is used, then the structure is simple, but the speed change range is small and cannot meet the stirring demands of various objects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the speed control system adjustable through electronic means rather than fixed mechanical reduction. The dual-speed motor with independent control for high and low speeds allows dynamic adaptation to different stirring requirements, replacing the static mechanical variable speed mechanism with a more flexible electronic control system that provides a wider speed range.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical variable speed mechanism with an electronic control system. The dual-speed motor uses electronic commutation and control circuits to achieve speed variation, substituting the mechanical friction-based or gear-based speed adjustment mechanisms with a more reliable and wider-range electronic speed control approach.
2Reliability
If voltage adjustment is used to control stirring speed, then the structure is simple, but the stability and reliability are poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the unreliable voltage adjustment method with a dual-speed motor design that has two distinct, stable speed settings. Instead of continuously varying voltage which causes instability, the system provides discrete high and low speed modes through independent control circuits, achieving both simplicity and reliability through electronic switching between predetermined speed states.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the speed control parameter from continuous voltage adjustment to discrete speed ratio control. The dual-speed motor maintains a fixed speed ratio between high and low speeds, and the control system switches between these two parameter states rather than continuously varying voltage, resulting in improved stability and reliability of stirring speed.
3Productivity
If heating function is added to stirrers, then the cooking efficiency is improved, but the structure becomes complicated or cannot stir and heat simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the heating function with the stirring function by integrating the heating element directly into the cup body structure. The heating wire is embedded in the cup body bottom, allowing simultaneous heating and stirring operations within a single integrated device, eliminating the need for separate heating equipment and reducing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the cooking and stirring machine universal by combining multiple functions into one device. The machine can simultaneously perform stirring at two different speeds and heating, allowing it to handle various cooking tasks (chopping, mixing, heating, simmering) with a single device, replacing the need for multiple separate kitchen appliances.
