Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wet cleaning apparatuses face challenges in quickly drying the rolling brush, leading to potential odor and stickiness issues when not in use.
Innovation Solution
A dehumidifying tray with a dehumidifying device and duct system that introduces air into the rolling brush chamber to dry the brush, combined with a suction device design that reduces noise through specific air flow pathways.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by stationary object
If the cleaning apparatus is placed in a static way to let the rolling brush dry naturally, then energy consumption is reduced, but the drying speed is slow and the brush may become sticky and emit odor
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning apparatus uses its own suction fan to generate air flow that passes through the rolling brush during non-working states, enabling self-drying without external energy input. The apparatus serves its own drying need using already-present components
Solution Approach 2:
The suction fan operates periodically - during working states for cleaning and during non-working states for drying. This periodic operation allows the same component to serve dual purposes, achieving drying function without continuous energy consumption
2Productivity
If the suction fan operates continuously to dry the brush, then drying speed is improved, but noise level increases
Solution Approach 1:
The suction fan operates only during specific periods (working states and brief transition periods) rather than continuously. This periodic operation achieves necessary drying while limiting noise exposure time and intensity
Solution Approach 2:
The drying function is integrated into the transition period between working states. The air flow path is pre-configured to enable drying during these brief intervals, achieving drying effect without requiring extended high-noise operation
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 dehumidifying tray effectively quick-dries the rolling brush, preventing stickiness and reducing noise from the suction fan, while also dehumidifying the filter and dispersing water vapor from the tank.
Implementation Method 1
The air is driven by the dehumidifying fan from the dehumidifying duct into the brush chamber to dry the rolling brush
Implementation Method 2
The suction device is located at a downstream position of the sewage suction channel and is configured to generate negative pressure in the sewage suction channel
