Floor brush, cleaning device and roller brush disassembly method
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for disassembling and assembling roller brushes from floor brushes in cleaning devices are cumbersome and labor-intensive, requiring manual clamping and unclamping, which complicates the process and results in poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a driving means with a rotating shaft that can move the roller brush to and from a preset mounting position, utilizing magnetic and mechanical connections, and a tension structure with a ratchet and roller holder for easy assembly and disassembly, allowing the roller brush to be automatically and rapidly removed and reattached.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual clamping and unclamping methods are used for roller brush assembly and disassembly, then the structure is simple, but the operation process is cumbersome and labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional manual mechanical clamping operation with a magnetic connection system. The magnetic connection part on the floor brush body automatically attracts and holds the roller brush, eliminating the need for manual clamping forces. Users simply need to push the roller brush toward the brush body for automatic magnetic attachment, or pull it for detachment, transforming a complex manual mechanical operation into a simple guided motion.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic connection system provides self-aligning and self-latching functionality. When the roller brush is pushed toward the brush body, the magnetic force automatically guides and secures the connection without user intervention. The connection structure with protrusions and grooves further enables automatic positioning, allowing the assembly process to complete itself once the user initiates the motion.
2Productivity
If traditional connection structures are used, then the device complexity is low, but the assembly and disassembly process is time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical fastening mechanisms (screws, clips, or snap-fits requiring manual manipulation) with a magnetic field-based connection system. The magnetic connection part generates attractive force that rapidly pulls the roller brush into position and secures it, dramatically reducing assembly time. Disassembly is equally rapid, requiring only a simple pulling motion to overcome the magnetic force.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic connection part is pre-positioned on the floor brush body, and the connection structure with protrusions and grooves is pre-configured for automatic engagement. When the user pushes the roller brush toward the brush body, the pre-positioned magnetic field and mechanical features work together to automatically complete the connection without requiring the user to perform multiple discrete assembly steps.
3Ease of operation
If the roller brush is firmly fixed during cleaning, then cleaning reliability is high, but disassembly requires excessive user effort
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic connection part is pre-configured to generate optimal holding force during the cleaning operation, ensuring the roller brush remains firmly fixed when needed. The same magnetic force, when overcome by a simple pulling motion, allows easy disassembly. The connection structure with protrusions and grooves provides preliminary mechanical guidance that ensures reliable engagement during cleaning while allowing straightforward release.

AI summary
A floor brush, a cleaning device and a roller brush disassembly method; wherein the floor brush includes: a floor brush body, one end of the floor brush body being provided with a driving means; a roller brush, and one end of the roller brush is drivable-connected to the driving means; a driving shaft of the driving means is capable of rotating in a first direction of rotation, causing the roller brush to move relatively to the driving shaft and be off the preset mounting position; the first direction of rotation is opposite to the direction of rotation of the roller brush when performing cleaning. Roller brush is driven to move by means of the driving means, and can be quickly disassembled from the floor brush body.
