Innovation Solution

An induction range with an automatic double-side roasting function, featuring a rotating induction-exclusive container, motor-driven torque, and a control system that includes position detection and recipe memory for preset cooking modes, allowing for automatic turning and mixing of food, along with a design for easy maintenance and cleaning.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual turning and mixing is used for cooking, then the induction range structure remains simple, but the labor intensity increases and uniform cooking cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic turning functionVSAvoidcontainer rotation mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The container is designed to rotate dynamically during the cooking process, transitioning from a static position to a rotating state. The motor-driven rotating rod enables the container to automatically turn and mix the food, transforming the cooking process from manual intervention to automated dynamic operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically turning and mixing the food without requiring manual intervention. The motor-driven rotation mechanism enables the container to autonomously rotate and翻动 the food, eliminating the need for users to manually turn or mix the ingredients during cooking.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Manufacturing precision

If the container is made rotatable for automatic turning, then cooking uniformity improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecooking uniformityVSAvoidmotor and rotation control system
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The container is designed to rotate dynamically during the cooking process, transitioning from a static position to a rotating state. The motor-driven rotating rod enables the container to automatically turn and mix the food, transforming the cooking process from manual intervention to automated dynamic operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The container rotates periodically during the cooking process, with the motor driving it to turn at specific intervals. This periodic rotation ensures that all sides of the food receive uniform heat exposure, achieving consistent cooking results through repeated cyclic motion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Measurement precision

If position detection is added for precise container alignment, then cooking precision improves, but the device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontainer position detectionVSAvoiddetection and control system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The position detection portion provides feedback to the control unit about the container's rotational position. The detection portion detects the position of the container through the protrusion, and the control unit uses this feedback information to control the motor, ensuring the container stops at the correct position for cooking.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
