Floor Cleaning Device Tank Flushing with Nested Two-Part Channel
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing floor cleaning devices have a complex design for the tank flushing mechanism, which can lead to inefficiencies in rinsing and potentially allow dirt particles to adhere to the container walls, complicating the cleaning process.
Innovation Solution
The design incorporates a flushing channel formed by two channel parts that can be easily joined together, with outlets on one part directing the rinsing liquid to flow through the channel interior, simplifying the structure and improving rinsing efficiency by directing the liquid to adhere to the container walls effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a complex tank flushing mechanism is used, then rinsing coverage can be improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The flushing channel is divided into a first channel part and a second channel part that are attached to each other. The first channel part forms the receiving part while the second channel part forms the insert part with outlets. This segmentation allows for simplified individual components that are easier to manufacture and assemble, while collectively providing effective rinsing coverage of the container interior.
2Device complexity
If multiple channel parts are joined together, then device complexity is reduced, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The second channel part (insert part) is designed to be received within the first channel part (receiving part), forming a nested structure. The insert part fits into the receiving part to define the channel interior, with outlets positioned to direct flushing liquid onto the container interior. This nesting arrangement simplifies the overall structure while maintaining precise fluid flow control through the joined components.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This structural simplification enhances the tank flushing capability, allowing for effective removal of dirt particles from the container walls while reducing the likelihood of dirt adherence, thus improving the overall cleaning process.
Implementation Method 1
the outlets are arranged on the second channel part and flow-connected to the channel interior. Rinsing liquid flows through the channel interior from the inlet to the outlets and is discharged there.
