Cleaning Tool with Detachable Head for Low and High Surface Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cleaning tools are inefficient for both low and high places due to inappropriate weight distribution, which affects the ease of use and cleaning efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A cleaning tool with a detachable bottom surface part and adjustable handle weight and length, allowing the center of gravity to be positioned closer to the head part for improved stability and ease of use on various surfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the head part has a certain degree of weight, then cleaning of low places such as the floor surface is facilitated by lowering the center of gravity, but cleaning of high places such as the ceiling becomes difficult due to excessive weight
Solution Approach 1:
The head part is divided into two separate parts: a top surface part and a bottom surface part. The bottom surface part can be freely attached to or detached from the top surface part, allowing the user to configure the head part weight according to the cleaning task at hand.
Solution Approach 2:
The head part weight is made dynamically adjustable through the detachable bottom surface part. When cleaning low places, the bottom surface part is attached to lower the center of gravity and increase stability. When cleaning high places, the bottom surface part is detached to reduce weight and improve maneuverability.
2Ease of operation
If the bottom surface part is made heavier, then cleaning of low places is further facilitated, but the overall weight of the cleaning tool increases making it less versatile
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the head part into detachable components, the design allows the bottom surface part to be optimized for low place cleaning (with sufficient weight) while maintaining overall system versatility through selective attachment and detachment based on cleaning requirements.

AI summary
The present disclosure includes a head part to which a cleaning sheet is attached; and a handle part which is connected to the head part and which is for gripping by a user. The head part includes a top surface part which forms an upper surface side and to which the handle part is connected; and a bottom surface part which forms a lower surface side. The bottom surface part is formed to be freely attachable/detachable with respect to the top surface part. Due to this configuration, it is possible to provide a cleaning tool which can easily clean both low places such as a floor surface and high places such as a ceiling and the upper part of a wall.
