Solution Overview

Problem

Existing carpets are difficult to clean due to their weight and thickness, which affects shock absorption and sound insulation, and thinner carpets compromise on these properties, leading to a poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A combined carpet design featuring an upper and lower carpet body with an anti-skidding layer to create a detachable combination, allowing separate or combined use, with the lower body being smaller to facilitate easy cleaning and the upper body being thinner for machine washing, and incorporating various layers for enhanced shock absorption and sound insulation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the carpet uses heavier fabric for better shock absorption and sound insulation, then the shock absorption and sound insulation effects are improved, but the carpet becomes heavier and more difficult to clean

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshock absorption and sound insulation effectsVSAvoidcleaning difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The carpet is divided into an upper carpet body and a lower carpet body that can be separated. The upper carpet body can be removed and washed separately in a washing machine, while the lower carpet body remains on the floor providing continuous shock absorption and sound insulation. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by making the carpet easy to clean while maintaining its protective functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the carpet is woven into a thinner carpet for easier cleaning, then the cleaning ease is improved, but the shock absorption and sound insulation effects deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecleaning easeVSAvoidshock absorption and sound insulation effects
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The carpet system is segmented into two parts with different thicknesses and functions. The upper carpet body is thinner and designed for easy cleaning, while the lower carpet body is thicker and provides the necessary shock absorption and sound insulation. This allows the carpet to be easy to clean while maintaining protective functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different parts of the carpet system have different qualities and thicknesses optimized for their specific functions. The upper carpet body has thinner fabric suitable for frequent cleaning, while the lower carpet body has thicker material providing enhanced shock absorption and sound insulation where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Area of stationary object

If the lower carpet body has the same size as the upper carpet body, then the coverage is maximized, but the cleaning frequency and difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage areaVSAvoidcleaning frequency and difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The carpet system is segmented into upper and lower bodies of different sizes. The smaller lower carpet body remains fixed on the floor providing continuous coverage and protection, while the larger upper carpet body can be completely removed for washing. This size differentiation reduces cleaning frequency for the lower body while maintaining full coverage when combined.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The design provides easy cleaning, improved shock absorption, sound insulation, and comfort while maintaining versatility in use scenarios, with the upper and lower bodies usable separately or together, enhancing user experience and product durability.

Implementation Method 1

the first anti-skidding layer resists to the first flexible fabric layer, such that the upper carpet body and the lower carpet body realize a relative rest through a static friction force

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a combined carpet. The combined carpet includes an upper carpet body and a lower carpet body. The upper carpet body that includes a first anti-skidding layer. The lower carpet body that is paved between the upper carpet and an object surface, wherein a size of the lower carpet body is less than that of the upper carpet body so as to be completely covered by the upper carpet body, and the lower carpet body includes a first flexible fabric layer. When the upper carpet body is paved above the lower carpet body, the first anti-skidding layer resists to the first flexible fabric layer, such that the upper carpet body and the lower carpet body realize a relative rest through a static friction force, to form a detachable combination.
