Dual Vacuum Charging Base Layout for Compact Installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vacuum cleaner systems require significant installation space when multiple units and charging bases are needed, as each vacuum cleaner and charging base occupies separate space.
Innovation Solution
A charging base design that can simultaneously support two vertical electric vacuum cleaners with their cleaning tools aligned in the same direction, allowing for compact installation and charging of both units on a single base.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a single charging base supports only one vacuum cleaner, then the vacuum cleaner can be charged and stored, but the installation space increases when multiple vacuum cleaners are needed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple charging functions into a single charging base. The charging base includes a base body and a tower body that can simultaneously support and charge multiple vacuum cleaners (at least two), merging what would traditionally require separate charging bases into one integrated unit, thereby reducing installation space while maintaining the ability to support multiple devices
Solution Approach 2:
The charging base is designed with universal functionality to support different types of vacuum cleaners. The tower body can accommodate multiple vacuum cleaners with different cleaning tool configurations, and the base body provides charging capability for all supported units, making the system adaptable to various vacuum cleaner models and types
2Area of stationary object
If multiple cleaning tools are installed on separate vacuum cleaners, then different cleaning functions are available, but the installation space increases
Solution Approach 1:
The charging base merges the storage and charging functions for multiple vacuum cleaners with different cleaning tools into a single location. The tower body provides support for multiple vacuum cleaners side-by-side, allowing users to access different cleaning tools (such as floor heads, wall brushes, etc.) from one compact installation rather than requiring separate spaces for each vacuum cleaner
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes vertical space by designing a tower body that extends upward from the base body. This vertical arrangement allows multiple vacuum cleaners to be supported in a compact horizontal footprint, effectively using the vertical dimension to accommodate multiple devices without increasing the installation area on the floor
