Cleaning assembly and cleaning apparatus
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cleaning apparatuses, such as cleaning robots, lack adaptability as their cleaning performing devices cannot be lifted or lowered relative to the body, limiting their effectiveness on varying surfaces.
Innovation Solution
A cleaning assembly with a fixing structure, a driving device to lift or lower the cleaning performing device, and a constraining structure to control its trajectory, allowing for adjustable movement and improved stability during operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the cleaning performing device is fixed relative to the body of the cleaning apparatus, then the structural stability is maintained, but the adaptability to different surfaces is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning performing device is transformed from a fixed structure to a dynamic one, capable of lifting and lowering relative to the body through a driving device. This allows the device to adapt its position to different surface conditions while the constraining structure ensures stable movement along a controlled trajectory, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and structural stability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the cleaning performing device can be lifted or lowered, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into distinct functional modules: the cleaning performing device, the driving device for lifting/lowering, and the constraining structure. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, achieving adaptability through the lifting mechanism while managing complexity through modular design where each segment is relatively simple and well-defined.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the cleaning performing device moves freely, then the adaptability is enhanced, but the stability during operation is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The constraining structure acts as an intermediary between the driving device and the cleaning performing device. It controls and guides the movement trajectory, ensuring that the cleaning performing device moves in a stable and predictable manner while still achieving the adaptability of lifting and lowering. This intermediary structure prevents uncontrolled movement while enabling the desired adaptive motion.
