Solution Overview

Problem

Existing garbage bins for swimming pool cleaners are difficult to clean due to a single opening for disposal, dead corners that cannot be reached, and inconvenient filter screens that get stuck with debris, making cleaning inefficient and labor-intensive.

Innovation Solution

A garbage bin with a detachable, bendable filter component that includes a frame and filter screen, connected via buckle or magnetic connections, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly, and a water inlet for efficient drainage and garbage disposal without additional openings, facilitating better access for cleaning.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the garbage bin is provided with only one opening for pouring out garbage, then the structure is simple, but the inside of the garbage bin is difficult to clean and dead corners cannot be swept cleanly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidcleaning accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The filter component is divided into a frame and a filter screen that can be separated from each other. The filter screen can be detached from the frame, allowing cleaning personnel to access the interior of the garbage bin more easily and clean dead corners that would otherwise be inaccessible through a single opening.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If the filter screen is fixed on the garbage bin, then the structure is stable, but the filter screen is inconvenient to disassemble and clean

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidfilter screen cleanability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The filter screen is designed to be movable relative to the frame, transitioning from a fixed state during operation to a removable state during cleaning. The filter screen can be detached from the frame by pulling it outward, enabling easy access for cleaning the filter screen and the interior of the garbage bin without compromising structural stability during normal use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Strength

If the filter component is made rigid for structural strength, then the strength is sufficient, but the assembly and disassembly process is complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidassembly simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The filter component is segmented into a frame and a filter screen that can be assembled and disassembled independently. The frame maintains structural strength while the filter screen can be easily removed by pulling it outward from the frame, simplifying the assembly and disassembly process without compromising the overall structural integrity of the filter component.

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 improves cleaning efficiency and quality by allowing the filter component to be easily disassembled and reassembled, reducing processing difficulties and enhancing the ability to reach all areas of the bin, thus simplifying the cleaning process and improving the overall cleaning experience.

AI summary

Disclosed is a garbage bin, which includes a main body and a filter component. The main body is provided with an opening. The filter component is detachably provided on the opening to close the opening. The main body is further provided with a water inlet. The filter component is detachably provided on the opening, the opening is not only configured to drain water during operation but also configured to pour garbage after operation, thus, it is unnecessary to provide another window for cleaning the garbage, thereby beneficially reducing the processing difficulty; in addition, after the filter component is disassembled, cleaning of a worker for an inside of the garbage bin and the filter component may be further facilitated, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.
