Integrated Pan Support With Venturi Mixing for Cleaner Gas Hobs
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing gas hobs require separate components for the pot support and gas burner, leading to complex designs and difficult cleaning processes, as well as inefficient heat distribution and fuel mixture management.
Innovation Solution
A one-piece pot support with integrated gas outlet openings and a Venturi nozzle-like structure for mixing air and fuel, which serves as both a support surface and a combustion area, eliminating the need for additional burner components and simplifying cleaning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If separate components are used for pot support and gas burner, then functional clarity is improved, but device complexity and cleaning difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the pot support structure and gas burner into a single integrated component. The support structure includes both the support surface for cooking vessels and gas outlet openings that serve as burners, eliminating the need for separate burner components and simplifying cleaning operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The support structure is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it provides mechanical support for cooking vessels, distributes fuel-air mixture through integrated channels, and generates flames at gas outlet openings. This multi-functional design reduces the total number of components while maintaining operational effectiveness.
2Productivity
If separate burner components are used, then fuel mixture management is simplified, but heat distribution efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The gas outlet openings are integrated directly into the support structure, allowing the support surface and燃烧 surface to be unified. This integration enables more efficient heat transfer from the flame to the cooking vessel bottom while maintaining simple fuel mixture management through the Venturi nozzle system.
3Ease of manufacture
If additional burner components are added, then combustion control is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure and gas burner are manufactured as a single integrated component, reducing manufacturing steps by eliminating assembly operations. The integrated design maintains reliable combustion control through the Venturi nozzle mechanism that ensures proper fuel-air mixing at the gas outlet openings.
Solution Approach 2:
The single support structure component performs both structural support and combustion functions, simplifying manufacturing while ensuring reliable operation through the integrated Venturi nozzle system that automatically regulates fuel-air mixture.
