Automatic Cleaning Device Supplementary Movement for Turn Coverage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Automatic cleaning devices often result in poor cleaning effects due to missing cleaning areas when making turns, particularly near obstacles like walls and furniture.
Innovation Solution
The automatic cleaning device performs supplementary cleaning movements, including backward and forward movements, after each rotation by a preset angle during direction switching to ensure complete coverage, using sensors to detect obstacles and adjust cleaning paths accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the automatic cleaning device performs direction switching when moving into a preset range of an obstacle, then the device can avoid obstacles and continue cleaning, but this causes missing cleaning areas and poor cleaning effect
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning device performs supplementary cleaning movements before completing the direction switching operation. When the device detects it is within the preset range of an obstacle and needs to perform direction switching, it first executes backward and forward movements to clean the area near the obstacle, then completes the rotation. This preliminary cleaning action ensures that the cleaning coverage is not compromised by the upcoming direction change.
Solution Approach 2:
The cleaning device dynamically adjusts its movement sequence during direction switching. Instead of completing the rotation first and then cleaning, the device integrates supplementary cleaning movements (backward and forward) into the direction switching process itself. This dynamic adjustment ensures continuous cleaning coverage even while changing direction.
2Productivity
If the automatic cleaning device completes direction switching quickly, then the efficiency is improved, but this results in missing cleaning areas near obstacles
Solution Approach 1:
The direction switching operation is segmented into multiple phases: the first phase includes backward and forward supplementary cleaning movements, and the second phase completes the rotation. This segmentation allows the device to allocate time for cleaning during the switching process without significantly delaying overall efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The cleaning action continues throughout the direction switching process rather than being interrupted. The supplementary cleaning movements (backward and forward) are executed continuously during the rotation, ensuring that the cleaning function remains active and productive throughout the entire direction change sequence.
