Flammable Cooking Device Design for Self-Combustion Heating
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional cooking devices, such as pots made of paper material, lack innovative usage methods and do not effectively address the need for a new way to heat and cook ingredients by burning with the device itself.
Innovation Solution
A cooking device with a main body and lid formed from flammable materials like paper, wood, or plant-derived materials, designed to be burned along with ingredients, ensuring no toxic emissions and customizable size and thickness for optimal heating and cooking times.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional pots made of fire-proof paper material are used, then the pot can withstand high temperatures from solid fuel flames, but the usage method is the same as earthen pots and metal pots which is less than fun and lacks innovation
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using fire-proof material that resists heat, the patent inverts the approach by using flammable material that burns to generate heat. The cooking device body is made from flammable material that combusts to cook the food, completely reversing the traditional heat-resistant pot concept.
Solution Approach 2:
The cooking device combines multiple functions: the flammable material serves as both the structural body of the pot and the fuel source. The device structure itself becomes the fuel, eliminating the need for separate firewood or fuel, thus achieving multi-functionality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the cooking device is made from flammable material to be burned with ingredients, then a new cooking experience is achieved, but toxic substances may be emitted during burning
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the flammable material by specifying natural materials like paper, wood, or plant-derived materials instead of synthetic materials. This parameter change ensures the material burns cleanly without emitting toxic substances, while still maintaining the innovative cooking method.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent specifies particular properties for the flammable material used in different parts of the cooking device. The material should be flammable for combustion but must not emit toxic substances when burned, creating a localized quality requirement that balances flammability with safety.
3Ease of manufacture
If the size and thickness of the cooking device are standardized, then manufacturing is simplified, but the heating and cooking time cannot be adjusted according to different ingredients
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic adjustability to the cooking device by making the size and thickness of the flammable material body variable. Users can adjust these dimensions according to the specific cooking requirements of different ingredients, allowing flexible control over heating and cooking time while maintaining ease of manufacture through modular or adjustable designs.
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
Enables safe and efficient heating and cooking of ingredients by burning the device itself, providing a unique and safe cooking experience without toxic emissions, suitable for use as camping or outdoor gear.
Implementation Method 1
the main body and the lid body are formed from flammable material. With the ingredients stored in the concave part and the concave part covered with the lid body, the cooking device is burned to heat and cook the ingredients
Data Source
AI summary
There is provided a cooking device that is capable of heating and cooking ingredients by burning altogether with the cooking device.A cooking device 1 includes a main body 3 that has a concave part 2 in which cooking ingredients are to be stored and a lid body 4 that covers the concave part 2. The main body 3 and the lid body 4 are formed from flammable material. With the ingredients stored in the concave part 2 and the concave part 2 covered with the lid body 4, the cooking device 1 is burned to heat and cook the ingredients.
