Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate cleaning devices are purchased to meet different cleaning needs, then cleaning functionality is improved, but cost and space occupation increase
Solution Approach 1:
The power module is designed with universal compatibility to work with multiple types of cleaning devices including floor scrubbers and vacuum cleaners. The module includes a controller that can identify different device types through interactive assemblies and automatically adjust operating parameters, enabling one power module to replace multiple dedicated power sources and reduce the total number of devices needed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate cleaning devices are purchased to meet different cleaning needs, then cleaning functionality is improved, but investment cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The power module incorporates a universal power supply system with adjustable output parameters that can accommodate different power requirements of various cleaning devices. The controller manages power distribution intelligently based on device identification, allowing a single power module to replace multiple dedicated power sources and reduce total investment cost.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the power supply functionality for different cleaning devices into a single integrated power module. By combining multiple power supply capabilities into one device with intelligent control, the system eliminates the need for separate power sources for each cleaning device, thereby reducing overall investment.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate cleaning devices are purchased to meet different cleaning needs, then cleaning functionality is improved, but space occupation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The power module is designed as a universal platform that can serve multiple cleaning devices through detachable connections. By consolidating multiple power supply functions into one compact module, the physical space required to store and manage multiple separate devices is significantly reduced.
4Quantity of substance
If a single power module serves multiple cleaning devices, then device quantity is reduced, but control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controller automatically identifies the connected cleaning device type through interactive assemblies and self-adjusts operating parameters without requiring manual intervention. The system performs self-diagnosis and parameter optimization, reducing the perceived control complexity for the user while maintaining sophisticated internal control logic.
Solution Approach 2:
The interactive assemblies provide feedback signals to the controller that enable automatic device identification and parameter adjustment. This feedback mechanism allows the controller to adapt its control strategy based on the connected device, managing complexity internally while maintaining simple user interaction.

AI summary
The present application relates to the field of cleaning device technology and discloses a power module and a cleaning system. The power module includes a housing, a driving source, a first interactive assembly, a second interactive assembly, a controller, and a power supply module. The housing is configured to be detachably connected to a target cleaning device. The controller is configured to select a target operating mode based on signals received by the first interactive assembly and/or the second interactive assembly, controlling the driving source to coordinate with the target cleaning device to perform cleaning operations. Therefore, this embodiment can drive different cleaning devices, achieving a single power source for multiple uses. This can meet users' diverse cleaning needs and eliminate the need to purchase different types of cleaning devices with mutually exclusive components, resulting in relatively cost-effective solutions. It also avoids the problem of each independent cleaning device occupying a relatively large physical space.
