Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If natural raw materials like soybean wax and beeswax are used to replace paraffin wax, then environmental and health problems are solved, but maintaining accurate temperature and oil ratio becomes difficult for ordinary people
Solution Approach 1:
The device automatically controls the melting temperature of wax and mixing temperature of oil through integrated heaters and temperature sensors, eliminating the need for users to manually monitor and adjust temperatures. The system self-regulates the manufacturing process by maintaining optimal temperatures based on the selected wax type, making natural material candle-making accessible to ordinary people.
Solution Approach 2:
Temperature sensors continuously monitor the melting and mixing processes, providing feedback to the control system. This feedback mechanism allows the device to automatically adjust heating power to maintain precise temperature control, ensuring accurate oil-to-wax ratios and proper melting temperatures without requiring user expertise.
2Ease of manufacture
If paraffin wax is used in conventional candles, then manufacturing is simple and inexpensive, but toxic substances are released harmful to human body and environment
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the material parameter from paraffin wax to natural waxes (soybean wax, beeswax), fundamentally altering the chemical composition to eliminate toxic emissions. The device supports multiple wax types by storing different melting and mixing temperature parameters for each wax type in memory, allowing users to select the appropriate parameters based on the chosen natural material.
3Manufacturing precision
If accurate temperature and oil ratio control is required for natural raw materials, then high-quality scented candles can be produced, but the manufacturing process becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The device combines multiple functions into an integrated system: wax melting, oil heating, temperature monitoring, and ratio control are all performed by a single unified device. The container serves both as the mixing vessel and the final candle holder, while the control unit coordinates all heating elements and sensors, simplifying the user interface despite the complexity of the underlying processes.
