Transparent Dust Container Cover for Concealed Vacuum Wiring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing handheld vacuum cleaners have exposed power and control signal wires within the transparent or translucent dust container, which is aesthetically unpleasing and requires wire management to prevent visibility.
Innovation Solution
A cover member is integrated between the main body and the wires to conceal them from view, with terminal connections between the handle unit and main body that are easily connected and prevent the main body from being pushed down during assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If the dust container is made transparent or translucent to allow visual checking of dust, then the aesthetic appearance and user convenience are improved, but the wires become visible from the outside which is aesthetically unpleasing
Solution Approach 1:
A cover member is introduced as an intermediary component between the transparent dust container and the wires. This cover member has a wire receiving space that conceals the wires from external view while maintaining the transparency of the dust container for visual monitoring of dust levels.
2Ease of operation
If the cover member is designed to easily connect the main body terminal and handle terminal, then the assembly convenience is improved, but the main body may be pushed down during coupling
Solution Approach 1:
A preventing portion is designed in advance on the cover member to counteract the pushing down force that occurs during terminal coupling. This preventing portion makes contact with the terminal before complete coupling occurs, preventing excessive downward movement and ensuring stable assembly.

AI summary
A cleaner includes: a suction unit that guides air and dust; a main body connected with the suction unit and including a dust separation unit that separates dust from air, and a dust container that stores dust separated by the dust separation unit, at least a portion of the dust container being transparent or translucent; a handle unit connected to the main body and has a battery; a power receiving component disposed in the main body to be supplied with power from the battery; wires that are connected to the power receiver; and a cover member coupled to the main body and disposed between the main body and the wires to prevent the wires from being seen from the outside of the dust container.
