Multifunctional cooking oven
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cooking ovens are limited to single functions, requiring multiple appliances for various cooking tasks, leading to increased costs and space usage, and inability to cook multiple foods simultaneously or on both sides effectively.
Innovation Solution
A multifunctional cooking oven with a hinged cover, dual heating devices, and an elastic device that adjusts the second frying plate's height, allowing for single-sided, double-sided, and simultaneous frying, as well as conversion to a hot pot or baking mode, with an oil receiving box for cleanliness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple single-function ovens are purchased to meet various cooking needs, then cooking functionality is improved, but cost and space occupation increase
Solution Approach 1:
The oven body is designed to perform multiple cooking functions including frying, roasting, baking, and hotpot cooking through interchangeable components. The first frying plate can be replaced with a filter screen for baking mode, and the second frying plate can be replaced with a pot body for hotpot mode, allowing a single device to replace multiple specialized appliances
Solution Approach 2:
The oven system is divided into modular components that can be independently replaced: the first frying plate, second frying plate, pot body, and pot cover are all detachable and interchangeable. This segmentation enables the same oven body to accommodate different cooking configurations for various culinary needs
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple single-function ovens are purchased to meet various cooking needs, then cooking functionality is improved, but purchase cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The oven body is designed to perform multiple cooking functions including frying, roasting, baking, and hotpot cooking through interchangeable components. The first frying plate can be replaced with a filter screen for baking mode, and the second frying plate can be replaced with a pot body for hotpot mode, allowing a single device to replace multiple specialized appliances
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple cooking functions that would traditionally require separate appliances are merged into a single oven system. The ability to fry on one side, fry on both sides simultaneously, bake with a grill, and cook hotpot all within one device consolidates what would otherwise require multiple purchases
3Device complexity
If a single frying oven is used for all frying tasks, then device simplicity is maintained, but the ability to fry two kinds of food at the same time is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The oven utilizes vertical spatial arrangement with two frying plates positioned at different heights within the same cooking chamber. This allows simultaneous cooking of different foods on different levels, effectively adding a vertical dimension to the cooking capacity without requiring multiple separate devices
4Device complexity
If the second frying plate is fixed at a certain height, then device complexity is reduced, but the ability to accommodate different food thicknesses is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The second frying plate is connected to an elastic device that allows it to move vertically in response to the thickness of food placed on it. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the frying plate to automatically adapt to different food thicknesses, maintaining optimal contact pressure without requiring complex manual adjustment mechanisms
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
The oven meets diverse cooking needs with efficient frying, roasting, and baking capabilities, ensuring even cooking without food deformation, while occupying less space and allowing for simultaneous cooking of multiple foods.
Implementation Method 1
