Cleaner holder and cleaner unit
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cleaner holders do not efficiently store accessories such as nozzles and water cleaning modules, leading to potential loss and inconvenience in usage, as they require separate storage and do not effectively lower the center of gravity for stable support.
Innovation Solution
A cleaner holder design that incorporates a base, stand, support body, and cleaning module support to stably hold the cleaner, detachably couple the cleaning module, and store accessories like nozzles and mops, while allowing for independent charging of batteries and auxiliary batteries, and positioning components to minimize the center of gravity for stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the holder only serves to seat the cleaner, then the structure is simple, but accessories cannot be stored and may get lost
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is designed to perform multiple functions: it not only seats the cleaner body but also stores various accessories (nozzles, water cleaning modules, mops) through dedicated storage spaces, and charges batteries through integrated charging terminals. This multi-functional design resolves the contradiction by making the holder versatile without excessive complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder structure is segmented into distinct functional zones: a cleaner support area, accessory storage compartments, charging terminals, and a low-positioned cleaning module support. This segmentation allows each component to serve its specific purpose efficiently while maintaining an organized and manageable overall structure.
2Reliability
If accessories are stored separately, then the holder structure is simple, but storage space is required and accessories may get lost
Solution Approach 1:
The storage function is merged with the holder structure itself. Accessories are stored in dedicated compartments integrated into the holder body, and the cleaning module support is combined with the stand structure. This merging ensures accessories are retained securely without requiring separate external storage solutions.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the cleaning module support is positioned higher, then accessibility is improved, but the center of gravity increases and stability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning module support is positioned at a low location on the stand, acting as a counterweight that lowers the overall center of gravity of the holder. This low-positioned support provides stability to the holder structure while still providing accessible storage for the cleaning module through the detachable coupling mechanism.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the cleaning module support is detachably coupled, then flexibility is improved, but connection reliability may decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning module support features a detachable coupling mechanism that allows it to be selectively attached and detached from the stand. This dynamic design provides flexibility for maintenance and replacement while maintaining reliable connection when attached, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and connection reliability.

AI summary
A cleaner holder comprises a base, a stand coupled to the base and extending upward from the base, a support body coupled to an upper portion of the stand and configured to support a cleaner, and a cleaning module support coupled to the stand and configured to support a cleaning module of the cleaner. The cleaning module may be detachably coupled to an extension tube of the cleaner.
