Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a data cable is used to connect the temperature probe to the host, then data transmission is reliable, but the host becomes bulky and inconvenient to carry
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical data cable connection with a wireless Bluetooth communication system. The temperature probe and host both include Bluetooth modules that enable wireless data transmission, eliminating the physical cable connection and making the host more portable and convenient to carry while maintaining reliable data transmission.
2Reliability
If a data cable is used to connect the temperature probe to the host, then data transmission is stable, but the thermometer cannot be used in the oven
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical cable connection with wireless Bluetooth communication, allowing the temperature probe to be freely placed in the oven without being constrained by a physical cable. The wireless connection maintains stable data transmission while providing the versatility to use the thermometer in various cooking environments including ovens.
3Ease of operation
If a mobile device client is used to display temperature data, then data can be monitored remotely, but the operation becomes complex requiring repeated connections
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the temperature display function from the mobile device client and integrates it directly into the host device. The host includes a digital display screen that shows temperature data in real-time, eliminating the need for users to download and operate mobile applications or repeatedly connect devices, thereby simplifying the operation while maintaining remote monitoring capability.
4Measurement precision
If the temperature probe is made with a metal casing for thermal conduction, then temperature sensing is accurate, but the probe cannot be easily separated from the food
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a composite structure for the temperature probe, combining a metal casing for accurate thermal conduction and temperature sensing with a silicone rubber coating on the outer surface. The silicone rubber provides a non-stick, flexible surface that facilitates easy insertion into and removal from food, while the metal core maintains temperature sensing accuracy.
