Solution Overview

Problem

Existing Turkish coffee machines fail to automatically transfer coffee foam completely to the beverage receptacle without overflowing and do not adjust coffee and sugar proportions effectively, requiring manual intervention for cooking and serving.

Innovation Solution

A Turkish coffee cooking and serving machine with a heated cooking compartment, a pushing head that moves vertically between cooking and discharge positions, and a drive mechanism controlled by a motor, which includes sensors for level detection and a mixing unit for homogeneous cooking, ensuring the coffee mixture is transferred efficiently to the beverage receptacle.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual Turkish coffee cooking is used, then coffee preparation flexibility is maintained, but time consumption and labor intensity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecoffee preparation speedVSAvoidmanual intervention requirement

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs coffee preparation automatically without human intervention. The control unit manages the heater, pushing head, and discharge spout to complete the entire cooking and serving process autonomously, eliminating manual labor while maintaining consistent quality

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The pushing head pre-positions the coffee mixture to the discharge spout level before cooking completes, and the system pre-adjusts coffee-sugar proportions before the brewing process begins, enabling seamless automatic transfer and serving

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If automatic coffee transfer is implemented, then serving speed increases, but overflow risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecoffee transfer speedVSAvoidoverflow prevention

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The level sensor continuously monitors the coffee mixture level in the cooking compartment and provides feedback to the control unit. When the mixture reaches the discharge spout level, the sensor triggers the spout to open, automatically stopping the transfer at the precise moment to prevent overflow

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The discharge spout transitions from a static component to a dynamically controlled element that opens and closes based on real-time liquid level conditions, enabling precise control over the transfer process to match the rising foam level

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If coffee and sugar proportions are manually adjusted, then flavor customization is possible, but preparation time and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepreparation efficiencyVSAvoidproportion adjustment mechanism

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses a dosing piece with variable positioning to change the volume parameters of coffee and sugar compartments. By adjusting the dosing piece position, the control unit automatically sets precise coffee-to-sugar ratios without manual measurement, simplifying the interface while maintaining accuracy

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

4Ease of repair

If the cooking compartment is designed for automatic cleaning, then maintenance ease improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecleaning accessibilityVSAvoidmoving components

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of repairVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The pushing head transitions from a static base to a vertically movable component that can be driven up and down. This dynamic design allows the head to be positioned for automatic cleaning access while maintaining its cooking function, enabling dual-purpose operation without permanent structural complexity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics
