Cleaner Holder with Dual Charging Ports for Upper-Centered Cleaners
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cleaner holders are unable to simultaneously charge and hold cleaners with a center on the upper side, as they require charging terminals on the lower side, limiting their versatility and usability.
Innovation Solution
A cleaner holder with a first body fixed to a wall surface, featuring a first charging port on its front surface for charging and a second body that protrudes to support the cleaner, along with a locking mechanism for secure attachment, allowing for both wall-mounted and floor-supported configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the cleaner holder is designed with support pieces on the lower side for inserting cleaners, then cleaners with center on lower side can be held, but cleaners with center on upper side cannot be held or charged
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is designed with dual functionality: it can hold cleaners with center on lower side using support pieces, and simultaneously charge cleaners with center on upper side using the charging terminal on the front surface. This multi-functional design allows the same holder structure to serve different cleaner types effectively.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder structure is divided into distinct functional segments: support pieces for mechanical holding on the lower side, and a charging terminal on the front surface for electrical charging. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, accommodating different cleaner configurations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the charging terminal is provided on the lower side, then lower-centered cleaners can be charged, but upper-centered cleaners cannot be charged
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of placing the charging terminal on the lower side as in conventional holders, the charging terminal is inverted to the front surface of the holder. This inversion allows the charging terminal to contact the charging port on upper-centered cleaners when they are placed in the holder, solving the compatibility issue while maintaining ease of operation.
3Area of stationary object
If the holder is designed for wall mounting only, then space efficiency is improved, but flexibility in usage scenarios is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is designed with dynamic adaptability, allowing it to be mounted in multiple configurations: wall-mounted mode for space-efficient installation, or floor-supported mode for standalone usage. This dynamic design capability enables the holder to adapt to different installation environments and user preferences.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder incorporates dual mounting capabilities: wall mounting function for vertical installation and floor support function for horizontal placement. This multi-functional mounting design allows the same holder to serve different usage scenarios and installation requirements.

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.
