Multipurpose oven
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing ovens are limited in versatility as they cannot efficiently handle both wood burning and charcoal burning, requiring separate stoves for each fuel type.
Innovation Solution
A multipurpose oven design that includes a base, a basin body for wood burning, and a detachable charcoal tray, allowing users to switch between wood and charcoal burning by removing or installing the charcoal tray.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single oven is designed to handle both wood burning and charcoal burning, then versatility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The oven is segmented into functional modules: a removable charcoal tray that can be taken out to reveal the wood burning chamber below. This segmentation allows the single device to accommodate both charcoal burning (with tray) and wood burning (without tray) configurations, resolving the versatility-complexity contradiction.
Solution Approach 2:
The charcoal tray is designed to be dynamically removable and reconfigurable. Users can remove the tray when wood burning is needed and reinstall it when charcoal burning is needed. This dynamic reconfiguration enables the oven to adapt between different fuel types without requiring separate dedicated devices.
2Reliability
If separate stoves are used for wood burning and charcoal burning, then functional reliability is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the functionality of separate wood-burning stove and charcoal-burning grill into a single multipurpose oven. The charcoal tray can be installed over the wood burning chamber, allowing charcoal to be placed on the tray while wood burns in the chamber below, enabling dual fuel functionality in one device and eliminating the need to switch between separate appliances.
Solution Approach 2:
The oven is designed with universal functionality to handle multiple fuel types simultaneously or alternatively. The charcoal tray serves as a universal interface that can be used with charcoal on top while wood burns underneath, or removed entirely for pure wood burning, making the device adaptable to various cooking and heating needs.
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 multipurpose oven enhances usability by enabling both wood and charcoal burning in a single unit, expanding usage scenarios and improving practicality compared to conventional stoves and charcoal stoves.
Implementation Method 1
a basin body configured for burning wood, and the basin body is provided on the base; a charcoal tray configured for burning charcoal

AI summary
Disclosed is a multipurpose oven including a base, a basin body and a charcoal tray. The basin body is provided on the base and is supported by the base, the basin body is configured for burning wood, and the charcoal tray is detachably provided in the basin body and is configured for holding charcoal. When the user needs to burn wood, the charcoal tray is removed from the basin body, and the wood is placed in the basin body and being ignited; at this time, the multipurpose oven can be configured as a stove. When the user needs to burn charcoal, the charcoal tray is installed in the basin body, and the charcoal is placed in the charcoal tray for burning; at this time, the multipurpose oven can be configured as a charcoal stove.
