Solution Overview
Problem
Existing high-pressure cleaners require a large amount of space and numerous components, making them cumbersome for transportation and use.
Innovation Solution
A compact high-pressure cleaning unit with a motor and pump unit integrated into a motor housing, supported by rotatable support wheels, allowing for efficient space utilization and easy movement, with a design that includes a separate motor housing for protection and a support unit for stability, and a delivery system capable of providing 140 to 200 bar pressure and 8 to 15 l/min fluid flow.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the cleaning unit is equipped with wheels for moving or transporting, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity and installation space increase
Solution Approach 1:
The support wheel is integrated directly onto the motor housing, combining the support function with the motor assembly. This eliminates the need for separate support frames or additional mounting structures, reducing component count while maintaining mobility functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The motor housing serves multiple functions: it encloses the motor, provides structural support, and acts as a mounting base for the support wheel. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components and minimizes installation space

3Ease of repair
If the motor housing is designed as a separate component from the support unit, then the ease of repair is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The motor housing is designed as a separable component from the support unit, allowing independent removal and replacement. This segmentation enables easy maintenance and repair of the motor assembly without disassembling the entire support structure, while the modular design actually simplifies the overall system architecture
