Dual-Charging Cleaner Holder With Recessed Battery Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cleaner holders cannot simultaneously charge both the cleaner device and its detachable battery, leading to inconvenience when the battery discharges during use, as they typically require separate charging and do not provide stable support for the cleaner.
Innovation Solution
A cleaner holder design featuring a first body with a charging port for the cleaner and a second body with a recessed battery accommodating space, including a second charging port, allowing for simultaneous charging of both the cleaner and its battery, with a cleaner guide to ensure proper contact and stable support.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the holder only charges the cleaner body, then the charging structure is simple, but the battery cannot be charged separately causing user inconvenience
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is divided into functionally independent charging areas: a first charging area with a first charging terminal for the cleaner body, and a second charging area with a second charging terminal for the battery. This segmentation allows each area to operate independently, enabling versatile charging options while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder is designed to perform multiple charging functions simultaneously - it can charge the cleaner body alone, charge the battery alone, or charge both together. The first and second charging terminals are both connected to the power supply module, enabling the holder to serve as a universal charging station for different components of the cleaning system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the holder accommodates both cleaner and battery charging functions, then charging versatility improves, but the holder width increases
Solution Approach 1:
The battery accommodating space is designed to extend in the width direction of the holder, utilizing the width dimension efficiently. The battery can be placed horizontally in the second charging area, allowing the holder to accommodate both charging functions without significantly increasing overall width beyond what is already utilized by the cleaner body charging area.
3Ease of operation
If the battery accommodating space is exposed, then battery accessibility is good, but the holder appearance is bulky
Solution Approach 1:
The battery accommodating space is nested within the holder body as a recessed cavity in the second charging area. This nesting approach allows the battery to be stored compactly within the holder's overall form, maintaining a sleek appearance while still providing easy access through the open top of the accommodating space.

AI summary
A cleaner holder includes: a first body having a first charging port configured to charge a cleaner; a second body protruding to a front side of the first body; and a battery accommodating space recessed downward from an upper surface of the second body to accommodate a battery detachably mounted to the cleaner, wherein a second charging port configured to charge the battery is provided in the battery accommodating space, and a cleaner guide configured to perform guiding such that a terminal of the cleaner comes into contact with the first charging port is provided in the second body.
