Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If gas bottles are fixed in a simple manner, then installation is easy, but they may become loosened during use causing safety hazards
Solution Approach 1:
The gas bottle fixation system transitions from a static simple fixation to a dynamic adjustable fixation system. The clamp structure can be adjusted to different positions and tightened to secure the gas bottle firmly, preventing loosening during use while remaining easy to install and remove.
2Device complexity
If the gas oven operates without adjustable flame control, then the structure is simple, but excessive flames occur affecting normal use
Solution Approach 1:
The throttle valve controls the gas flow rate by changing the opening parameter, thereby adjusting the flame size. This allows the user to control the flame from small to large according to cooking needs, solving the problem of excessive flames while maintaining relatively simple device structure.
3Device complexity
If food is placed at a single fixed position, then the structure is simple, but food contamination occurs affecting consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The food placement system changes from a fixed single position to a movable multi-position system. The food placement plate can be moved to different positions within the heating chamber, allowing users to select different locations based on smoke generation and cooking requirements, thereby preventing contamination while keeping the structure relatively simple.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the operating position is not fixed, then flexibility is improved, but smoke may be generated from different positions and cannot be treated effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The smoke extraction system uses a feedback mechanism where the extraction fan is activated based on detected smoke conditions. The system can adjust the extraction intensity and positioning according to the actual smoke generation location, effectively managing smoke while maintaining flexible operating positions.
