Solution Overview

Problem

Existing swimming pool cleaning robots are inconvenient to use due to cable tangling issues and low cleaning efficiency, especially in wireless models that lack intelligent path planning and real-time status acknowledgment.

Innovation Solution

A floating device with a wireless transmission module encapsulated in a protruding portion of a floating base, equipped with a power supply assembly and a handle for easy lifting, enabling remote control and intelligent path planning, and a switch assembly for antenna management to enhance signal strength and stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Duration of action of moving object

If a power cable is used to supply power to the cleaning robot, then the robot can work continuously, but the cable gets tangled and requires storage, reducing convenience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontinuous working timeVSAvoidconvenience of use
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The power cable is extracted from the system by providing a power supply assembly that is separable from the cleaning robot. The power supply assembly can be placed on the ground while the robot operates wirelessly, eliminating cable tangling and storage requirements while maintaining continuous power supply capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Ease of operation

If wireless robots are used to avoid cable issues, then convenience is improved, but intelligent cleaning path planning and real-time status monitoring are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of useVSAvoidintelligent cleaning path planning
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

A wireless transmission module is introduced as an intermediary between the cleaning robot and the user's terminal device. This module enables real-time bidirectional communication, allowing the robot to receive navigation instructions for intelligent path planning and transmit its working status and position data for remote monitoring, all without requiring physical cable connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If wireless transmission module is placed at the top of the handle, then signal strength is improved, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transmission stabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wireless transmission module is merged with the handle structure by being encapsulated within a protruding portion of the handle. This integration approach places the module at the top of the handle for optimal signal strength while incorporating it into the existing structural framework, avoiding the need for separate mounting structures and minimizing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
