Solution Overview
Problem
Food processors often retain water after cleaning, leading to bacterial growth and unpleasant odors, and can overheat due to improper use, potentially shortening their service life.
Innovation Solution
A method involving a food processor with a heater and blade that uses intelligent hot air drying and sterilization by calculating and controlling heating and rotation times to prevent overheating, utilizing a temperature sensor and control board to execute a computer instruction for efficient drying and monitoring.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the heater is used to dry the food processor, then the drying effect is improved, but the risk of overheating increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control board continuously monitors the heater temperature via a temperature sensor and dynamically adjusts the heating power or stops heating when the temperature reaches a preset threshold, preventing overheating while ensuring effective drying
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the heating parameters (power, duration) based on real-time temperature feedback, using lower power for longer duration or higher power for shorter duration to achieve drying without exceeding safe temperature limits
2Reliability
If the heating time is extended to ensure thorough drying, then the drying completeness is improved, but the energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses temperature monitoring and humidity detection to determine when drying is complete, automatically stopping the heater to avoid unnecessary energy consumption while ensuring thorough drying
Solution Approach 2:
The heating process is divided into multiple cycles with heating periods followed by rest periods, allowing the system to achieve thorough drying through cumulative heating effect while reducing peak energy consumption and preventing overheating
3Productivity
If the blade rotates at high speed to accelerate air drying, then the drying efficiency is improved, but the risk of overheating the motor increases
Solution Approach 1:
The blade rotation is implemented in periodic cycles rather than continuous operation, providing sufficient air circulation for efficient drying while allowing the motor to cool down between cycles, preventing overheating
Solution Approach 2:
The system maintains continuous drying effectiveness by coordinating heater operation with blade rotation, ensuring that hot air is continuously circulated throughout the drying process without requiring the motor to run at high speed continuously
