Conductive Cleaning Brush with Scraping Plate for Static Elimination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional cleaning brushes cannot effectively eliminate static electricity and often require additional cleaners to remove dust from their bodies, making them inconvenient to use.
Innovation Solution
A cleaning brush with a conductive housing and brush featuring conductive fibers and a scraping plate, which allows for simultaneous removal of dust and static electricity by electrically connecting the brush to the housing and using a rotatable cover to scrape dust from the brush.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If conventional cleaning brushes are used to remove dust, then dust can be removed from surfaces, but static electricity cannot be eliminated and dust adheres to the brush body
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the electrical parameter of the brush by incorporating conductive materials (metal fibers, conductive sheet, conductive housing) to transform the brush from electrically insulating to electrically conductive, enabling static electricity elimination while maintaining dust removal capability
Solution Approach 2:
The scraping plate serves as an intermediary component that contacts the conductive brush to scrape off accumulated dust, while the conductive housing and metal fibers act as intermediaries to conduct static electricity away from the brushing surface
2Productivity
If conventional cleaning brushes remove dust, then dust is transferred to the brush body, but additional cleaners are required to clean the brush
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the cleaning function and brush maintenance function into a single integrated device by incorporating a scraping plate that can be rotated to scrape dust from the conductive brush, eliminating the need for separate cleaner products
Solution Approach 2:
The scraping mechanism enables the brush to clean itself by scraping off dust accumulated on the conductive brush surface, allowing users to maintain the brush without requiring additional cleaning products or complex disassembly
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 brush effectively eliminates static electricity and removes dust from surfaces while preventing dust from adhering to its own body, enhancing convenience and cleanliness.
Implementation Method 1
a conductive brush, located in the containing slot, and is electrically connected to the conductive housing

AI summary
A cleaning brush for eliminating static electricity, including a conductive housing, wherein a containing slot is on a bottom surface of the conductive housing, and the conductive housing has two opposite end walls; and a conductive brush, which is embedded in the containing slot of the conductive housing, and is electrically connected to the conductive housing. Thus, the cleaning brush have both the functions for eliminating static electricity and removing dust.
