Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If the display device is placed close to the temperature measuring needle, then the data transmission is stable, but the cook's skin is scalded by splashing grease

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvegrease splashing scaldingVSAvoiddata transmission stability

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into three independent modules: temperature collector (needle thermometer), distance amplifier (signal booster), and processing device (display unit). This segmentation allows the display device to be positioned away from the heat source while maintaining reliable data transmission through intermediate signal amplification.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The distance amplifier acts as an intermediary component between the temperature collector and processing device. It receives weak signals from the temperature collector, amplifies them, and transmits the strengthened signals to the processing device, enabling reliable communication over extended distances.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the display device is placed far from the temperature measuring needle, then the cook's skin is protected from grease splashing, but the data transmission becomes unstable and temperature readings are incorrect

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvegrease splashing protectionVSAvoidtemperature reading accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The distance amplifier serves as a mediator that compensates for signal degradation over distance. It receives faint signals from the temperature collector, boosts their strength, and ensures accurate transmission to the processing device, maintaining measurement precision despite increased distance.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces direct mechanical/electrical connection with wireless or long-distance electrical signal transmission combined with electronic amplification. This substitution allows the display device to be positioned independently from the temperature collector while maintaining signal integrity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Device complexity

If a simple temperature collector is used, then the device complexity is low, but the transmission range is limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem structure simplicityVSAvoiddata transmission distance

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The distance amplifier is introduced as an intermediary device that extends the transmission range without significantly complicating the overall system. It receives signals from the simple temperature collector, amplifies them, and transmits them to the processing device, effectively bridging the distance gap.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

Signal amplification is applied locally at the distance amplifier rather than requiring the entire system to be complex. This localized enhancement allows the temperature collector to remain simple while achieving extended transmission range through targeted signal processing at a specific point in the signal chain.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

The utility model relates to the field of temperature detection, in particular to a food temperature detection system. The food temperature detection system comprises a temperature collector, a distance amplifier and a processing device. The temperature collector and the distance amplifier both are connected with the processing device, and the temperature collector is connected with the distance amplifier. The temperature collector collects the temperature of food, then the collected food temperature information is sent to the distance amplifier, and the distance amplifier performs signal enhancement on the collected food temperature information, so that a transmission distance of the food temperature information is increased. By additionally arranging the distance amplifier, the food temperature information is enhanced, so that the processing device is capable of acquiring the food temperature information stably, thereby improving the detection accuracy of food temperature.
