Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing grills using chemical fuels like charcoal and gas face challenges in fuel convenience, heat control, and cleanliness, particularly in maintaining separate cooking areas and managing oil stains.
Innovation Solution
An electric arc grill is designed with an electric heating device, a fire gathering plate, a lifting device, and a grill carrier, which uses electric arcs to heat the grill, allowing for precise heat control and separate cooking areas, while an oil receiving plate collects and facilitates the cleaning of oil stains.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If chemical fuels like charcoal or gas are used in grills, then heating function is provided, but fuel supply convenience deteriorates and heat control precision worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical fuel supply system (charcoal or gas tanks) with an electrical heating system. The electric heating device includes a heating element connected to a power source, eliminating the need for physical fuel storage and handling. This substitution provides continuous heating operation without fuel refilling while maintaining precise temperature control through electrical regulation.
2Use of energy by moving object
If chemical fuels like charcoal or gas are used in grills, then heating function is provided, but heat control precision and heating area control worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements precise heat control by changing the electrical parameters (voltage, current) supplied to the heating element. A control system adjusts these parameters to maintain desired temperature levels, enabling precise heat intensity control and defined heating areas that were difficult to achieve with chemical fuels.
3Use of energy by moving object
If chemical fuels like charcoal or gas are used in grills, then heating function is provided, but separate cooking area designation worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the grill into multiple independent heating zones, each with its own heating element or可控 heating section. This segmentation allows different areas to be heated to different temperatures or at different times, enabling simultaneous frying and grilling operations in separate designated areas without requiring complex physical partitions.
4Productivity
If grilling and frying operations are performed, then cooking function is provided, but oil stain collection and cleanliness maintenance worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates an oil drainage system that extracts and removes oil stains from the cooking surface. The system includes channels or grooves that collect excess oil and fat during frying and grilling operations, directing them to collection reservoirs. This extraction mechanism maintains cleanliness by continuously removing harmful oil accumulations during the cooking process.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The electric arc grill provides consistent and controlled heat, improves fuel convenience by eliminating the need for charcoal or gas, and enhances cleanliness through efficient oil stain management, resulting in improved cooking results and maintenance.
Implementation Method 1
The electric output head is located below the fire gathering plate, and a gap is formed between the electric output head and the fire gathering plate
Data Source
AI summary
The present application pertains to an electric arc grill that integrates a range of components for enhanced functionality. Central to this grill is the electric heating device, which includes an electric heating component and a circuit board integrated with electric components. The electric heating component includes an electric output head and an electric connection rod that is securely attached to and electrically connected with the head, ensuring a stable connection to the circuit board. The grill is equipped with a lifting device that is affixed to and grounded by the grill carrier, facilitating the electrical connection with the fire gathering plate. This plate is positioned above the electric output head, creating a gap that is instrumental in generating the electric arc necessary for heating. The grill enables the fire gathering plate to be heated via electric arc, thereby providing a versatile cooking surface capable of frying, grilling, and baking.
