Solution Overview

Problem

Existing cleaning devices, such as floor scrubbers and vacuum cleaners, face difficulties in user operation, particularly when pulling back, as the user needs to overcome the forward force generated by the roller brush, making it labor-intensive.

Innovation Solution

An assisting method and device that utilize a controlling apparatus and an assisting apparatus to provide adaptive assistance to the user. The method involves obtaining movement information of the cleaning device, identifying the user's operation intention, and controlling the assisting apparatus to provide assistance based on the movement information and operation intention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If an assisting apparatus is added to provide backward movement assistance, then ease of backward movement is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of backward movementVSAvoidcomplexity of assisting apparatus
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The assisting apparatus is merged with the existing cleaning device structure, sharing components such as the power source and control system. This integration minimizes additional complexity while providing the required backward movement assistance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The assisting apparatus serves multiple functions: it provides backward movement assistance, maintains balance during operation, and can be controlled to adapt to different operating conditions. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
