Cleaner Holder with Integrated Accessory Storage to Reduce Loss
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 storage and use.
Innovation Solution
A cleaner holder design that includes a base, stand, support body, and cleaning module support, allowing for the storage and charging of cleaners, as well as detachable water cleaning modules and mop storage, while stabilizing the cleaner by shifting its weight to a base, thereby reducing the risk of loss and enhancing usability.
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 for charging but also stores various accessories (nozzles, water cleaning modules, mops) through dedicated storage spaces. This multi-functional design resolves the contradiction by enabling accessory storage without fundamentally redesigning the holder structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder incorporates nested storage spaces where accessories are stored within the holder's structure. The water cleaning module storage space, nozzle storage spaces, and mop storage space are integrated into the holder body, allowing accessories to be nested within the holder without increasing overall structural complexity.
2Ease of operation
If accessories are stored separately, then the holder structure remains simple, but users need additional storage space and accessories may be lost
Solution Approach 1:
The holder merges the storage function with the support function by integrating accessory storage spaces into the holder structure. The water cleaning module storage space, nozzle storage spaces, and mop storage space are combined with the cleaner support function, allowing users to access and store accessories conveniently without requiring separate storage solutions.
3Reliability
If the cleaner holder does not have dedicated support for cleaning modules, then the structure is simpler, but cleaning modules may be misplaced or lost
Solution Approach 1:
The holder provides specialized local storage structures for different types of accessories. The water cleaning module storage space is specifically designed to hold water cleaning modules securely, while separate nozzle storage spaces and mop storage space are provided for other accessories. This localized specialization ensures each accessory type has appropriate storage without requiring complete structural redesign.
4Ease of manufacture
If the holder structure does not include cleaning module support, then manufacturing is simpler, but accessories lack proper storage and may be lost
Solution Approach 1:
The holder structure is segmented into functional zones: a cleaner support body for charging the cleaner, a water cleaning module storage space for storing water cleaning modules, nozzle storage spaces for various nozzles, and a mop storage space for mops. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured relatively simply while collectively providing comprehensive accessory storage capability.

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.
