Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the magnetron operates under harsh conditions (enclosed state or no-load state), then the heating function is achieved, but the magnetron enters an over-temperature state which reduces service life
Solution Approach 1:
The processing circuit detects electrical parameters (voltage or conduction pulse width) of the switching device and uses this feedback to determine the magnetron's temperature state. Based on the detection result, the system adjusts the switching device's electrical parameters to control the magnetron's operating voltage, preventing prolonged over-temperature operation and extending service life while maintaining heating functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the electrical parameters of the switching device (voltage or conduction pulse width) to regulate the magnetron's operating voltage. By dynamically adjusting these parameters based on detected conditions, the magnetron is prevented from operating in an over-temperature state, thus resolving the contradiction between maintaining heating performance and ensuring reliability
2Productivity
If the magnetron operates in an over-temperature state, then heating performance is maintained, but the operating voltage decreases leading to reduced efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The processing circuit continuously monitors the electrical parameters of the switching device and uses this feedback to detect changes in the magnetron's operating voltage. When the magnetron enters an over-temperature state causing voltage decrease, the system responds by adjusting the switching device's electrical parameters to restore optimal operating voltage, thereby maintaining heating performance while improving energy efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes the electrical parameters of the switching device to regulate the magnetron's operating voltage in real-time. This parameter adjustment ensures that even when the magnetron operates in over-temperature conditions, the operating voltage is maintained at efficient levels, preventing energy waste while preserving heating performance
