Adjustable Sprayer Mechanism for Cleaner Housing Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cleaners with sprayers stored in a groove on the outer side of the housing face issues of the cleaning head being exposed to dust, dirt, and bacteria, and the design complexity affecting the overall appearance, along with the inability to adjust the sprayer's position and angle.
Innovation Solution
A cleaner design that includes a sprayer, a switching assembly, a water storage assembly, a conveying assembly, and a housing where the water storage and conveying assemblies are housed, the switching assembly is movable, and the sprayer is fixed to it, allowing for adjustable position and angle of the sprayer through the switching assembly's movement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the sprayer is stored in a groove on the outer side of the housing, then the sprayer can be stored during non-use, but the cleaning head is exposed to dust, dirt, and bacteria in the air
Solution Approach 1:
The sprayer is nested within the housing body through a telescopic structure, where the sprayer can be retracted into and extended from the housing. This nesting approach protects the cleaning head from environmental contaminants while maintaining easy accessibility during use, resolving the contradiction between protection and accessibility.
2Reliability
If the sprayer is stored in a groove on the outer side of the housing, then the sprayer can be stored during non-use, but the overall design of the cleaner becomes complex affecting the overall appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The sprayer storage function is merged with the housing body itself, eliminating the need for a separate external groove structure. The telescopic sprayer integrates directly into the housing, simplifying the overall structure while maintaining storage capability and improving appearance.
3Ease of operation
If the sprayer is arranged at the top of the cleaner, then the sprayer can be positioned for spraying, but the sprayer cannot be adjusted in position and angle
Solution Approach 1:
The sprayer is designed with dynamic adjustability, allowing it to be rotated and positioned at different angles through a rotating connection mechanism. This enables the sprayer to adapt to various cleaning scenarios while maintaining ease of operation, resolving the contradiction between operational simplicity and adaptability.

AI summary
Provided is a cleaner, including a sprayer, a switching assembly, a water storage assembly, a conveying assembly, and a housing. Because the switching assembly movably connected to the housing is arranged and the sprayer is fixedly connected to the switching assembly, a position and an angle of the sprayer can be adjusted by moving the switching assembly, such that the use convenience is brought for a user, and a storage groove does not need to be formed, making the cleaner more attractive.
