Cleaning Tool Brush Part with Fiber Guide Regions for Dust Capture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing cleaning tools with zigzag transverse ends result in fibers of varying lengths, leading to poor cleaning effectiveness, particularly in areas with shorter fiber lengths.
Innovation Solution
A cleaning tool with a brush part featuring a fiber assembly where the fibers are oriented in a specific direction, including a first contact region and a second contact region with a low guide region to effectively capture dust, and a structure with alternating first and second brush regions for enhanced cleaning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If the cleaning sheet has zigzag transverse ends, then the fiber layer has various fiber lengths, but the cleaning effect deteriorates in parts with short fiber lengths
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating different zones within the contact region: a first contact region with full fiber length for primary cleaning, and a second contact region with truncated fibers forming a low region for guiding dust. This localized differentiation allows each zone to perform its specific function optimally while maintaining overall cleaning effectiveness.
2Ease of operation
If the holder is inserted into the cleaning sheet, then the cleaning sheet is held securely, but the fiber length consistency deteriorates with zigzag ends
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the contact region into distinct first and second contact regions with different fiber characteristics. The first contact region maintains full fiber length for effective cleaning, while the second contact region has truncated fibers that form a low region. This segmentation allows the holder insertion structure to secure the cleaning sheet without compromising the functional integrity of the fiber assembly.

AI summary
To provide a cleaning tool exhibiting excellent cleaning effectiveness. [Solution] The present invention relates to a cleaning tool (A) comprising a cleaning sheet (100), and a holding tool (200) for holding said cleaning sheet (100). The cleaning sheet (100) is provided with: a brush part (110) capable of cleaning an object to be cleaned; a base part (120); and insertion parts (130) for the holding tool (200). The brush part (110) is provided with a first contact region (161) and a second contact region (162). The second contact region (162) is provided with a lower region (162A) formed so as to be lower than the first contact region (161) in the thickness direction (Z). The lower region (162A) is used as a guide region (162B) capable of guiding dust on the object to be cleaned towards the adjacent first contact region (161).
