Microwave Supply Unit Cooling Mount for Heating Cooking Chambers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing heating cooking apparatuses, such as those disclosed in PTL 1, face the challenge of temperature rise outside the heating cooking chamber, particularly affecting the microwave supply unit, necessitating an air blowing mechanism for cooling, which requires periodic maintenance and secure attachment to the heating cooking unit.
Innovation Solution
A heating cooking apparatus design that includes a heating cooking unit, a microwave supply unit, an air blowing mechanism, and a fixing member, where the air blowing mechanism features a fan, motor, and a first attachment member, supported by a fixing member, allowing easy attachment and detachment from the heating cooking unit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If an air blowing mechanism is added to cool the microwave supply unit, then the temperature control is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The air blowing mechanism is divided into separate functional components: a fan unit, a motor, and a fixing member with attachment portions. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and facilitates easy assembly, disassembly, and maintenance of the cooling system.
2Temperature
If the air blowing mechanism is permanently attached to the heating cooking unit, then the cooling effectiveness is improved, but the ease of repair deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing member incorporates attachment portions that enable the air blowing mechanism to be dynamically attached and detached from the heating cooking unit. This dynamic connection allows the cooling system to be securely fixed during operation for effective cooling, while also allowing easy removal for maintenance and repair without permanent installation.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates easy and secure attachment and detachment of the air blowing mechanism to the heating cooking unit, enhancing maintenance efficiency and reducing the risk of temperature rise issues.
Implementation Method 1
The air blowing mechanism blows air onto the microwave supply unit
Implementation Method 2
a motor that drives the fan
