Dual-Charging Cleaner Holder for Detachable Battery Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vacuum cleaner holders are unable to accommodate cleaners with a center on the upper side, as they require charging terminals on the upper side, limiting their functionality and usability.
Innovation Solution
A cleaner holder design that includes a first body with a charging port for the cleaner and a second body that protrudes to support the cleaner, with a battery accommodating space and a second charging port, allowing for both wall-mounted and floor-standing usage, and featuring a locking mechanism for secure attachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the holder is designed with support pieces on the lower side only, then cleaners with center on lower side can be held, but cleaners with center on upper side cannot be accommodated
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is designed with dual functionality: it can hold cleaners with center on lower side using support pieces, and simultaneously accommodate cleaners with center on upper side by providing a charging terminal on the upper side. This multi-functional design allows a single holder to serve different cleaner types without requiring separate holder designs.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder structure is divided into distinct functional segments: support pieces on the lower side for mechanical support, and a charging terminal on the upper side for electrical connection. This segmentation allows each component to serve its specific function independently, enabling compatibility with both lower-center and upper-center cleaner designs.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the holder only charges the cleaner body, then the cleaner can be charged, but the battery cannot be charged when detached
Solution Approach 1:
The charging system is designed to perform multiple functions: it can charge the cleaner body when attached, and independently charge the battery when the battery is detached and placed in the holder. This universal charging capability eliminates the need for separate charging devices for the cleaner and battery.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder acts as an intermediary charging station that can accept both the cleaner body and the battery for charging. The holder's charging terminal serves as a mediator that can establish electrical connection with either the cleaner or the battery, providing flexible charging options.
3Reliability
If the holder is designed for floor standing only, then stability is improved, but wall-mounted installation is not possible
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is designed with universal mounting capability that allows it to be installed in multiple locations: it can stand on the floor using its base, or be mounted on walls using mounting brackets. This multi-modal installation design provides flexibility while maintaining structural stability in either configuration.

AI summary
A cleaner holder includes: a first body having a first charging port configured to charge a cleaner; a second body protruding from the first body to support the cleaner; and a battery accommodating space recessed in one surface of the second body and configured to accommodate a battery detachably mounted to the cleaner, wherein a second charging port configured to charge the battery is provided in the second body.
