Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cleaning and diagnosis of current-collection boxes on assembly lines are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and abnormal states cannot be quickly detected, leading to maintenance difficulties.
Innovation Solution
A cleaning device with a cleaning assembly, driving controlling assembly, and diagnosis feedback assembly is used to automate the cleaning process, detecting the position and power state of current-collection boxes, and removing foreign matter through a cleaning through slot.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If artificial cleaning and diagnosis methods are used, then the cleaning process is simple to implement, but the time consumption and labor requirements increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning device performs automated cleaning operations without requiring artificial intervention. The device includes a cleaning assembly with cleaning components that automatically remove foreign matter from the current-collection box, and a diagnosis feeding-back assembly that automatically detects and reports abnormal states, enabling the system to service itself without human labor.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical cleaning operations with an automated cleaning assembly that uses mechanical cleaning components (such as brushes or wipes) controlled by a driving controlling assembly. This substitution eliminates the need for人工 manual cleaning while maintaining the mechanical cleaning function.
2Device complexity
If artificial cleaning and diagnosis methods are used, then the device complexity is low, but the productivity and cleaning efficiency decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning device is divided into distinct functional modules: a cleaning assembly for removing foreign matter, a driving controlling assembly for powering and controlling the cleaning operation, and a diagnosis feeding-back assembly for detecting abnormal states. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, improving overall productivity while keeping individual component complexity manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The cleaning device integrates multiple functions into a single system: it performs cleaning operations, diagnoses abnormal states, and provides feedback on the condition of the current-collection box. This multi-functionality increases productivity by combining several operations that would otherwise require separate manual processes into one automated system.
3Measurement precision
If artificial diagnosis methods are used, then the detection accuracy is sufficient for basic checking, but the speed of detecting abnormal states is too slow
Solution Approach 1:
The diagnosis feeding-back assembly continuously monitors the current-collection box and provides real-time feedback on its condition. When abnormal states are detected, the system immediately reports the findings, enabling rapid response and maintenance. This feedback mechanism significantly speeds up the detection process compared to manual checking while maintaining high accuracy.

AI summary
A cleaning device is provided. The cleaning device includes a cleaning assembly, a driving controlling assembly, a bottom plate and a diagnosis feeding-back assembly; both of the cleaning assembly and the driving controlling assembly are fixed on the bottom plate, and the driving controlling assembly and the cleaning assembly are connected; the bottom plate is provided with a cleaning through slot, the diagnosis feeding-back assembly is connected to the bottom plate, and the diagnosis feeding-back assembly is configured to detect a relative position between the current-collection box and the bottom plate, and configured to detect a power-on state of the current-collection box; and when it is detected by the diagnosis feeding-back assembly that the current-collection box is located at a bottom of the bottom plate, the driving controlling assembly drives the cleaning assembly to, by using the cleaning through slot, remove a foreign matter on the current-collection box.
