Solution Overview

Problem

Existing cleaning devices lack convenient means for users to observe their operating states, such as battery level, cleaning mode, and floor cleanness, during operation, leading to poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A cleaning device body with a display assembly located at the front side, allowing users to observe the device's state intuitively and operate controls easily, featuring angled displayers and a control assembly on the same side for efficient adjustment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the display assembly is located at the front side of the body, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of observationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display assembly is positioned on the front side of the body at a location that utilizes the spatial dimension effectively. By placing the display on the front surface rather than on top or side surfaces, the patent creates a new spatial arrangement that allows users to observe operating states naturally while holding the device, resolving the contradiction between ease of observation and device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of operation

If the displayer tilts towards the lower side of the body, then the ease of operation is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of observationVSAvoidmanufacturing precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The displayer is designed with a specific tilt angle towards the lower side of the body, creating a localized optimal viewing angle. This tilt angle is specifically engineered to match the natural line of sight when the user holds the cleaning device, providing excellent observation conditions at this specific location and orientation, while the rest of the device maintains standard manufacturing tolerances.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Loss of information

If multiple displayers are arranged sequentially in a spaced apart manner, then the loss of information is reduced, but the area of the moving object increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation display capacityVSAvoidarea of the body
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSArea of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The display assembly is segmented into multiple discrete displayers arranged sequentially on the front side of the body. Each displayer can show different operating state information (battery level, cleaning mode, floor cleanness, etc.), and their spaced-apart arrangement prevents mutual obstruction while maximizing information display capacity within the available front surface area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
