Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If N·TC (thermosensitive resistance) is used to indirectly measure the temperature of the cookware, then the temperature measurement can be performed, but the measurement accuracy is poor and there is time delay
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional N·TC thermosensitive resistance method with an electromagnetic induction-based measurement system. The measurement coil detects temperature through electromagnetic coupling with the heating coil and cookware, substituting the mechanical/thermal contact method with a non-contact electromagnetic field method, thereby improving both accuracy and reliability of temperature measurement
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a measurement coil as an intermediary element that couples electromagnetically with both the heating coil and the cookware. This intermediary enables indirect temperature measurement through electromagnetic field interaction, avoiding the need for direct thermal contact and improving measurement precision while eliminating time delay
2Measurement precision
If a measurement coil with dual mutual induction configuration is used, then real-time accurate temperature measurement is achieved, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The measurement coil is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it couples with the heating coil for temperature sensing and also couples with the cookware for verification. This multi-functional design allows a single component to achieve complex measurement objectives, reducing the need for additional separate sensors and overall system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the temperature sensing function with the existing electromagnetic induction heating system by using the measurement coil to interact with both the heating coil and cookware. This consolidation integrates temperature measurement into the heating control system rather than adding a separate measurement subsystem, thereby managing complexity
