Cleaning Device Filtering Box Side Access Solar Panel Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing swimming pool robots damage their solar panels when repeatedly opening the top cover to dump debris from the filtering box.
Innovation Solution
A cleaning device with a design that allows the filtering box to be mounted and removed through an accommodating opening and groove system, without needing to frequently open the top cover, thus protecting the solar panel.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the top cover is opened repeatedly to remove the filtering box, then the filtering box can be accessed for debris disposal, but the solar panel is damaged and its service life is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the cleaning device into separate functional modules: the filtering box is made detachable from the main body through a specific release mechanism, allowing it to be removed independently without opening the top cover. This segmentation enables the filtering box to be accessed and emptied through a dedicated opening or side access point, separating the debris disposal function from the solar panel housing, thereby preventing solar panel damage while maintaining filtering box accessibility.
2Ease of operation
If the filtering box is designed to be easily removable, then debris disposal becomes convenient, but the structural complexity of the cleaning device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the filtering box as a separate, independently removable module from the main cleaning device body. The filtering box is designed with a dedicated mounting structure that allows it to be detached through a simple release mechanism, such as a latch or snap-fit system. This extraction enables the filtering box to be removed and emptied without disassembling other components, maintaining ease of operation while minimizing the addition of complex structural elements.
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 design enhances the service life of the solar panel by reducing the frequency of opening the top cover, while also improving the convenience of mounting and removing the filtering box.
Implementation Method 1
a buoyancy cavity, wherein the buoyancy cavity is provided in the cleaning device body and configured to adjust the cleaning device body to be at least partially located on a water surface
