Cleaner Holder Base Structure for Stable Charging Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cleaner holders are unable to simultaneously charge and stably hold cleaners with a center on the upper side, as they require charging terminals on the upper side, which is not accommodated by the conventional design.
Innovation Solution
A cleaner holder with a charging stand body, support, and base that includes multiple support structures and a design with a center of gravity close to the floor, featuring a fastening unit and friction parts to securely hold and charge the cleaner, regardless of its center positioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional holder design with support pieces on the lower side is used, then cleaners with a center on the lower side can be held, but cleaners with a center on the upper side cannot be held or charged
Solution Approach 1:
The holder base is designed with a multi-component structure including an inner base, upper cover with upper support pieces, and lower cover with lower support pieces. This universal design allows the holder to accommodate and charge both cleaners with centers on the lower side and cleaners with centers on the upper side, eliminating the limitation of conventional single-configuration holders
2Adaptability or versatility
If the holder supports cleaners with upper-side centers, then charging capability is improved, but structural complexity increases due to multiple support structures
Solution Approach 1:
The base is segmented into three main components: an inner base, an upper cover, and a lower cover. Each component has specific functions - the inner base provides structural support, the upper cover contains upper support pieces and charging terminals for upper-center cleaners, and the lower cover contains lower support pieces for lower-center cleaners. This segmentation allows the complex multi-functional holder to be manufactured and assembled from simpler individual parts
Solution Approach 2:
The inner base is nested within the upper cover and lower cover assembly. The inner base fits into the cavity formed by the covers, creating a compact integrated structure. This nesting arrangement reduces overall complexity by having components fit within each other rather than requiring separate mounting structures
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The cleaner holder provides stable support and charging for cleaners with a center on either side, minimizing damage and improving stability by distributing the weight and using multiple support structures and friction elements.
Implementation Method 1
an elastic member by which the boss is selectively inserted/withdrawn into/from an inside of the support is connected to the boss
Implementation Method 2
An inner peripheral surface of the second neck is in surface contact with at least a portion of an outer peripheral surface of the support
Implementation Method 3
an outer peripheral surface of the upper coupling member is at least partially in contact with an inner peripheral surface of the insertion groove

AI summary
A cleaner holder includes: a charging stand body having at least one charging port for charging a battery of a cleaner; a support connected to the charging stand body; and a base supported on a floor and connected to the support, wherein the base includes: an inner base surrounding at least a portion of the support; an upper cover coupled to the inner base on an upper side of the inner base and configured to support an outer peripheral surface of the support; and a lower cover coupled to the inner base on a lower side of the inner base and configured to support an inner peripheral surface of the support.
