Solution Overview
Problem
Existing kitchen appliances lack a product that combines the functions of pressure cooking and air baking/frying, limiting their versatility and ability to achieve crispy, flavorful, and nutritious cooking results.
Innovation Solution
A multifunctional cooker integrating a pressure cooker and air fryer functionality, with a rotating upper cover assembly that includes a heating assembly and a wind power assembly, allowing for seamless switching between pressure cooking and air frying modes by sealing and unsealing the cooker body to control pressure and airflow.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the cooker is designed as a pressure cooker only, then pressure cooking function is achieved, but air frying function is missing
Solution Approach 1:
The upper cover assembly is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as a sealing cover for pressure cooking mode and as an open air frying cover with heating and wind power assemblies for air frying mode. This multi-functional design allows a single appliance to achieve both pressure cooking and air frying capabilities without requiring separate devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The first member is designed with dynamic positioning capability, allowing it to switch between a sealed position (for pressure cooking) and an open position (for air frying). The rotating connection between the upper cover assembly and cooker body enables flexible transition between different cooking modes, making the appliance adaptable to different cooking requirements.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the upper cover assembly is sealed for pressure cooking, then pressure cooking function is achieved, but air frying function cannot be realized
Solution Approach 1:
The upper cover assembly is rotatably connected to the cooker body, allowing it to rotate between a sealed position (for pressure cooking) and an open position (for air frying). This dynamic positioning mechanism enables easy switching between cooking modes through simple rotation, improving operational ease while maintaining both cooking functions.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the first member is fixed for sealing, then pressure cooking function is achieved, but switching to air frying mode becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The first member is designed with a rotating connection to the upper cover assembly, allowing it to move between a sealed position (for pressure cooking) and an open position (for air frying). This dynamic design enables the sealing structure to adapt to different cooking modes without requiring complex mechanisms, balancing manufacturing ease with functional versatility.
