Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cleaning device trays fail to effectively dry the roller brush after use, leading to a humid environment that fosters bacterial growth and odor production, thereby shortening the roller brush's service life and posing safety hazards.
Innovation Solution
A tray with a built-in drying unit, such as a heating apparatus or a fan, that performs drying treatment on the roller brush accommodation region and the roller brush, preventing it from being stored in a humid environment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a tray is used to store the cleaning machine after cleaning operation, then sewage can be collected in the tray, but the roller brush remains in a humid environment which promotes bacterial growth and odor production
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the passive mechanical storage tray with an active drying system that uses a fan to generate airflow and a heating element to raise temperature, creating a drying environment that eliminates moisture from the roller brush accommodation region. This substitution transforms the tray from a simple storage container to an active drying apparatus that prevents bacterial growth and extends roller brush service life.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the environmental parameters within the tray by introducing heated air flow. The heating element raises the temperature in the roller brush accommodation region, while the fan increases air circulation, thereby altering the humidity and temperature parameters to create conditions unfavorable for bacterial growth and effective for drying the roller brush.
2Reliability
If a drying unit with heating apparatus or fan is added to the tray, then the roller brush can be dried effectively, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The drying unit is designed to serve multiple functions: the heating element not only dries the roller brush but also prevents condensation and extends the service life of other components stored in the tray. The fan provides both drying airflow and ventilation for the entire tray compartment. This multi-functionality justifies the added complexity by delivering comprehensive benefits beyond simple roller brush drying.

AI summary
Provided are a tray and a cleaning apparatus system. The tray includes: a tray body (10), where a roller brush accommodation region is arranged on an outer surface of the tray body (10), and a mounting cavity (12) is provided in the tray body (10); and a drying unit (20), where the drying unit (20) is mounted in the mounting cavity (12), and the drying unit (20) runs to perform drying treatment on the roller brush accommodation region and an object in the roller brush accommodation region. The tray may be used with a cleaning machine (30). When the cleaning machine (30) is disposed on the tray, a roller brush (32) on the cleaning machine (30) is located in the roller brush accommodation region, and the drying unit (20) runs to perform drying treatment on the roller brush accommodation region and the object in the roller brush accommodation region. Therefore, the roller brush (32) is prevented from being stored in a humid environment, breeding of bacteria and production of odors are reduced, and the service life of the roller brush (32) is prolonged.
