Cleaning device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cleaning devices, especially large and heavy ones, oscillate or tip over during above-floor cleaning, making them difficult to guide stably and safely.
Innovation Solution
A detachable handle is arranged on the accessory connection of the cleaning device, with a handle base clamped between the accessory connection and the connection piece, providing additional stability and preventing pendulum movements by allowing the user to grasp the handle instead of the housing directly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a handle is added to the cleaning device for above-floor cleaning, then the stability and ease of guidance is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The handle is designed to be detachably arranged on the accessory connection, allowing it to be attached when needed for above-floor cleaning and removed when not needed. This dynamic configuration allows the device to adapt its structure based on the cleaning task, providing ease of guidance only when required while maintaining simplicity for other operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The handle is integrated with the existing accessory connection system, which is already a universal interface for attaching various cleaning accessories. By placing the handle base on the accessory connection, the same connection point serves dual purposes: attaching cleaning accessories and providing a mounting point for the handle, thereby avoiding additional complexity.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the handle base is clamped between the accessory connection and connection piece, then the stability during above-floor cleaning is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The handle base is designed with specific dimensional parameters (length, width, thickness) that allow it to be clamped between the accessory connection and connection piece. By carefully selecting these parameters, the handle base creates a stable sandwich structure without requiring extremely tight tolerances, as the clamping action itself provides the necessary stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The handle base acts as an intermediary element between the accessory connection and the connection piece. This intermediate component distributes the clamping forces and provides a stable mounting point for the handle, reducing the precision requirements for the direct interface between the accessory connection and connection piece.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the handle is detachably arranged on the accessory connection, then the adaptability for different cleaning scenarios is improved, but the reliability of the connection may worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The handle is designed to be detachably arranged on the accessory connection, allowing it to be attached when needed for above-floor cleaning and removed when not needed. This dynamic configuration allows the device to adapt its structure based on the cleaning task, providing ease of guidance only when required while maintaining simplicity for other operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The handle attachment mechanism is merged with the existing accessory connection system. The handle base uses the same connection interface as cleaning accessories, combining the functions of accessory attachment and handle mounting into a single reliable connection mechanism, thereby maintaining connection reliability while achieving adaptability.

AI summary
The invention relates to a cleaning device (1) with a housing (2) and an accessory connection (3) formed on the housing (2) for detachable connection with a corresponding connector (4) of a cleaning accessory (5), wherein the accessory connection (3) faces a surface to be cleaned in a typical operating position of the cleaning device (1), and wherein the cleaning device (1) has a handle (6) detachably arranged in the area of the accessory connection (3). In order to be able to hold the cleaning device (1) steady and securely, particularly during surface cleaning, it is proposed that a grip base (10) of the handle (6) be arranged on the accessory connection (3) and/or a connector (4) of a cleaning accessory (5) and clamped between the accessory connection (3) and the connector (4).
