Solution Overview

Problem

Electric roasting machines experience heat loss and increased outer housing temperature due to heat radiation, leading to reduced food heating efficiency and potential user safety hazards.

Innovation Solution

The electric roasting machine incorporates a heat insulating cavity between the heating device and inner housing, utilizing a reflecting cover with a radiant heat source and a galvanized or aluminized layer to minimize heat conduction and radiation to the outer housing, along with a heat dissipating passage and air flow management to reduce temperature and enhance efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If heat radiation device is used to heat food, then food heating efficiency is improved, but outer housing temperature increases causing safety hazards

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefood heating efficiencyVSAvoidouter housing temperature
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an inner housing as an intermediary component between the heat radiation device and the outer housing. This inner housing acts as a thermal barrier that intercepts heat radiation before it reaches the outer housing, thereby maintaining food heating efficiency while preventing outer housing temperature increase that would cause safety hazards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent divides the housing structure into two separate parts: an inner housing and an outer housing. This segmentation creates a thermal isolation layer that allows the heating function to operate effectively while protecting the outer housing from excessive heat, thus resolving the contradiction between heating efficiency and safety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If heat radiation device operates, then food is heated effectively, but heat loss to outer housing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefood heating efficiencyVSAvoidheat loss
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The inner housing serves as a thermal intermediary that redirects heat radiation toward the food while preventing heat loss to the outer housing. This intermediary structure ensures that the heat energy generated by the heating device is efficiently transferred to the food rather than being lost to the surrounding housing structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
