Multifunctional Electric Smoke Curing With Repositionable Burning Seat
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing smoke curing devices are inconvenient and inefficient for both beverage and non-beverage foods, requiring separate devices for effective smoke curing, leading to increased consumption costs.
Innovation Solution
A multifunctional electric smoke curing device with a detachable burning seat and pumping mechanism that allows for smoke to be directed into a cup or a covered dish, utilizing a smoke guide hose, enhancing efficiency and convenience for both beverage and non-beverage smoke curing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a wooden cover smoke curing device is used for beverage, then smoke curing effect is improved, but smoke curing efficiency is low and not applicable to other foods
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs a smoke curing device that can handle both beverages and solid foods through a detachable mounting structure. The mounting part can be detached and reinstalled on different positions (top or bottom) of the smoke curing chamber, allowing the device to adapt to different food types and curing requirements, thus achieving multi-functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting part is designed to be detachable and repositionable, allowing dynamic adjustment of the smoke discharging port position. This enables the device to switch between different operational modes (beverage mode with top mounting, solid food mode with bottom mounting) based on the curing requirements.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a mechanical smoke curing device with pumping device is used, then smoke can be conveyed to covered dish, but effect of smoke curing on beverage is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting part can be dynamically repositioned between top and bottom mounting positions. For beverage curing, the mounting part is installed at the top to allow smoke to enter the cup directly. For solid food curing, it is installed at the bottom to work with the smoke guide hose and pumping device, thus adapting to different curing scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The device is designed to perform both beverage smoke curing (using top mounting mode) and solid food smoke curing (using bottom mounting mode with smoke guide hose), making it a universal device that replaces the need for separate specialized devices.
3Quantity of substance
If flame igniter is used to produce smoke, then smoke is generated, but large amount of smoke escapes into air
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting part acts as an intermediary component that connects the burning seat to the smoke discharging channel. It guides the smoke generated by the flame igniter through the smoke discharging port into the smoke curing chamber, preventing smoke from escaping directly into the air and improving smoke utilization efficiency.
4Reliability
If separate smoke curing devices are purchased for beverage and non-beverage food, then each device is optimized for its specific use, but consumption cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a single universal smoke curing device that can handle both beverages and solid foods through the detachable mounting structure. This eliminates the need to purchase and maintain separate specialized devices, reducing consumption cost while maintaining specialized curing effects for each food type.
Solution Approach 2:
The device merges the functions of beverage smoke curing and solid food smoke curing into a single system. By combining different mounting configurations and smoke delivery methods (direct entry for beverages, hose-guided for solids) in one device, it replaces multiple separate devices.
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 device enables convenient and efficient smoke curing of both beverages and non-beverages using a single device, reducing wood consumption and operational complexity.
Implementation Method 1
a pumping device is arranged in the smoke discharging device to pump out smoke produced by the burning seat via the first smoke discharging port
Implementation Method 2
the burning seat is used for burning a combustible to produce smoke

AI summary
A multifunctional electric smoke curing device includes a smoke curing device main body and a burning seat. A bottom of the burning seat is provided with a second smoke discharging port, the smoke curing device main body is provided with a mounting channel and a smoke discharging channel. The mounting channel forms an upper mounting opening and a lower mounting. The burning seat is detachably arranged in the mounting channel through the upper mounting opening or the lower mounting opening to cause the second smoke discharging port to be communicated with the smoke discharging channel. The smoke discharging channel forms a first smoke discharging port on the bottom end surface of the smoke curing device main body. A pumping device is arranged in the smoke discharging device to pump out smoke produced by the burning seat via the first smoke discharging port.
