Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional charcoal roasting plates face issues such as frequent replacement, safety hazards, increased labor costs, difficulty in cleaning, and inefficiencies in grilling rod supply and collection, leading to uneven cooking and frequent container replacement.
Innovation Solution
A movable type grill roaster with a bucket-integrated chain system that sequentially transfers grilling rods, equipped with a rod rolling part to prevent meat adherence, a collection container with a fall guide plate for even distribution, and a control panel for efficient operation, addressing the challenges of rod supply, cleaning, and container management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If conventional charcoal roasting plates are used, then the structure is simple, but frequent replacement is required leading to increased labor costs and safety hazards
Solution Approach 1:
The roasting plate is segmented into multiple independent grilling rods that can be individually replaced. The rods are arranged in a circular pattern and can be independently loaded and removed, allowing partial replacement without replacing the entire plate structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The grilling rods are made rotatable around their own axes and can be dynamically adjusted in position. The rod supply mechanism provides continuous dynamic replenishment of rods, transforming the static replacement process into a dynamic continuous operation.
2Volume of stationary object
If grilling rods are stacked in the supply part, then space is utilized, but rods are pressed by their own weight and cannot be discharged smoothly
Solution Approach 1:
The rod supply part features an inclined curved surface that guides rods smoothly from the storage area to the discharge point. The curved geometry prevents rods from stacking vertically under their own weight and facilitates continuous smooth discharge through gravitational flow along the inclined path.
3Device complexity
If grilling rods are only horizontally moved along the chain, then the transfer is simple, but meat sticks to the surfaces of the rods as they are heated
Solution Approach 1:
Each grilling rod is equipped with a rotation mechanism that allows it to rotate around its own axis while being transported horizontally along the chain. This rotational movement prevents meat from adhering to the rod surfaces by continuously changing the contact points, while the horizontal transport path remains simple.
4Productivity
If used grilling rods are accumulated in the collection container, then they are collected, but they fall intensively at one location and become entangled, reducing effective space
Solution Approach 1:
The collection container is divided into multiple discharge locations arranged in a circular or linear pattern. Used rods are distributed to different discharge points around the container rather than accumulating at a single location, preventing entanglement and maximizing the effective storage volume.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides multiple discharge points exceeding the minimum single-point requirement, distributing rods to several locations simultaneously or sequentially. This excessive distribution capability ensures rods never concentrate at one spot, maintaining maximum container efficiency.
5Device complexity
If a single roasting plate is used without replacement for outdoor barbecue, then equipment is reduced, but cleaning operation becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The roasting plate consists of multiple separable grilling rod segments that can be individually removed and cleaned. This segmentation allows easy cleaning of each rod separately without needing to disassemble complex structures, making maintenance simple despite having multiple components.
Solution Approach 2:
The rotatable design of the grilling rods enables self-cleaning capabilities where rotation during operation prevents excessive char buildup, and the simple cylindrical shape of rods allows easy wiping and maintenance without requiring specialized cleaning equipment or procedures.

AI summary
The present invention discloses a movable type grill roaster. In the present invention, bucket depressions and a rod rolling part are provided in a chain. Accordingly, when grilling rods constituting a grill roasting plate are sequentially transferred via the chain, the grilling rods may be transferred while being rolled. The phenomenon in which meat adheres to the grilling rods is prevented. The sequentially supplied grilling rods are arranged at stable locations, and thus there is overcome the problem in which meat falls between the grilling rods constituting a grill roasting plate. When the grilling rods fall to a collection container, the falling grilling rods may be evenly distributed without being concentrated on any one point in the collection container via a fall guide piece. The convenience in use is improved during a grilling rod supply process, a meat roasting process, and a grilling rod collection process.
