Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cleaning tools with a fiber layer and scraping sheet, where the fiber layer and scraping sheet have the same length, fail to effectively clean complex-shaped objects due to insufficient deformation of the fiber layer, leading to inadequate cleaning performance.
Innovation Solution
A cleaning tool with a cleaning sheet and holder, featuring a brush part that includes a first and second cleaning region and a bending region, allowing for enhanced flexibility and effective cleaning of complex surfaces by being longer than the base and having an extending region, which can be bent to accommodate various shapes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the fiber layer and scraping sheet have the same length, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the fiber layer cannot sufficiently deform to follow complex shapes of objects to be cleaned
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning sheet is divided into distinct functional regions: a first cleaning region with the fiber layer for general cleaning, and a second cleaning region with the scraping sheet for removing stubborn contaminants. This segmentation allows each region to perform its specific function optimally while adapting to complex object shapes.
Solution Approach 2:
Different portions of the cleaning sheet have different properties: the first cleaning region has flexible fibers that can deform to follow contours, while the second cleaning region has a more rigid scraping sheet for mechanical removal of dirt. This local differentiation enables the cleaning tool to handle various surface geometries and contamination types effectively.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the fiber layer is made longer to extend beyond the scraping sheet, then it can better follow complex shapes, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning sheet is designed with a flexible structure that allows dynamic deformation during use. The fiber layer can bend and conform to the contours of objects being cleaned, providing adaptability to various shapes while maintaining structural integrity through the integrated design.
