Multifunctional cooking oven
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cooking ovens are limited to single functions, requiring multiple appliances for various cooking needs, leading to increased costs and space occupancy, and inability to cook multiple foods simultaneously or on both sides effectively.
Innovation Solution
A multifunctional cooking oven that can transform into a frying oven, hotpot oven, and baking oven by swapping plates and components, featuring an elastic device for adjustable height and an oil receiving box for cleanliness, with control panels for temperature management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate cooking appliances (frying oven, hot pot oven, baking oven) are used to meet different cooking needs, then cooking functionality is comprehensive, but cost and space occupancy increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The oven body is designed with a universal structure that can accommodate multiple cooking functions through interchangeable components. The first frying plate can be removed and replaced with a filter screen, while the second frying plate can be replaced with a pot body, allowing the same oven body to function as a frying oven, hot pot oven, or baking oven, thereby achieving multi-functionality without requiring multiple separate appliances
Solution Approach 2:
The cooking system is divided into modular components: a fixed oven body with heating devices, removable first frying plate, removable second frying plate, and replaceable pot body. This segmentation allows users to interchange components based on cooking needs, transforming a single appliance into multiple functional units and reducing the need for multiple separate cooking devices
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate cooking appliances are used to cook different foods simultaneously, then cooking variety is achieved, but cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
By designing the oven body with universal compatibility for different cooking components (frying plates and pot body), the system allows users to achieve cooking variety through component interchange rather than purchasing multiple appliances. The first heating device and second heating device can operate simultaneously or independently, enabling diverse cooking scenarios at the cost of a single appliance
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple cooking functions that would traditionally require separate appliances are merged into a single oven body. The ability to use the same oven body for frying, hot pot, and baking operations consolidates what would be multiple separate purchases into one appliance, reducing overall cost while maintaining cooking variety
3Device complexity
If a fixed frying plate structure is used, then structural simplicity is maintained, but the ability to accommodate different food thicknesses and cooking modes is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The second frying plate is mounted on an elastic device that allows it to move vertically (up and down) within a predetermined range. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the second frying plate to adapt to different food thicknesses and cooking requirements, transforming a static structure into a flexible system that can accommodate various cooking modes without complicating the overall device design
4Ease of manufacture
If the second frying plate height is fixed, then manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but cooking effectiveness for different food types is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic device provides a cost-effective mechanism for height adjustment that maintains manufacturing simplicity while significantly improving cooking effectiveness. The elastic components allow the second frying plate to move to appropriate heights for different food types, ensuring reliable cooking results without requiring complex mechanical adjustment systems
Solution Approach 2:
The height parameter of the second frying plate is made variable through the elastic device, allowing adjustment based on food thickness and cooking mode requirements. This parameter change capability enhances cooking effectiveness for different food types while the elastic mechanism keeps the manufacturing process relatively simple
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, allowing for simultaneous cooking of multiple foods and maintaining food integrity, while improving cleanliness and usability.
Implementation Method 1
the oven body is equipped with an elastic device inside, the elastic device can automatically adjust the height of the second frying plate as per the thicknesses of different food so as to perfectly clamp the food between the first frying plate on the oven cover and the second frying plate on the oven body
Implementation Method 2
a first heating device (11), a second heating device (12)... the first heating device bakes the food on the grill
