Floor cleaning pad
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing floor cleaning pads struggle with dirt and grime being hidden in multiple layers and folding corners, leading to incomplete cleaning and a short service life.
Innovation Solution
A floor cleaning pad with a multi-layer structure comprising a first sheet material, a second sheet material, and an absorption core, featuring a function layer with three parts: a cleaning area, a dust absorption area, and a water absorption area, where the first strips on the second part are longer than those on the other parts, and the outer side ends of the strips are not connected, allowing for dynamic movement and exposure of dirt during cleaning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If multiple layers are folded to increase cleaning area, then cleaning coverage is improved, but dirt and grime become hidden in the layers and folding corners making cleaning incomplete
Solution Approach 1:
The function layer is divided into multiple independent strips arranged in parallel, with each strip having outer side ends that are not connected to adjacent strips. This segmentation allows the strips to work independently while maintaining overall structure, preventing dirt from being trapped in continuous folded layers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a traditional folded multi-layer structure to a parallel strip arrangement where layers extend in the width direction rather than being folded in the length direction. This dimensional change allows dirt to be accessed from multiple sides simultaneously, preventing it from being hidden in folding corners.
2Productivity
If friction coefficient between cleaning pad and floor is increased to improve debris removal, then cleaning effectiveness is improved, but manual operation becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
Different parts of the function layer have different strip lengths optimized for their specific functions: the dust absorption area has longer strips for better debris capture, while other areas have shorter strips for ease of manipulation. This local differentiation allows effective debris removal in the cleaning area while maintaining operational ease in handling areas.
3Area of stationary object
If cleaning pad is used for large-area places, then cleaning coverage is improved, but service life becomes very limited due to quick dirt accumulation
Solution Approach 1:
The parallel strip structure with unconnected outer side ends enables self-cleaning functionality where used strips can be easily separated and replaced or cleaned independently. The structure allows cleaning solution to penetrate between strips and flush accumulated dirt out from the unconnected ends, extending the service life of the cleaning pad for large-area applications.
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
The design effectively removes dirt and debris from floors, extends the cleaning area, and prevents dirt from being hidden, thereby overcoming the limitations of previous cleaning pads.
Implementation Method 1
an absorption core located between the first sheet material and the second sheet material
Implementation Method 2
the absorption core is made of a foam material, and the foam material is provided with through holes
Implementation Method 3
the function layer is connected to the second sheet material
Implementation Method 4
the second part is a dust absorption area
Implementation Method 5
Insufficient cleaning for debris adhered to the floors may be caused due to too low friction coefficients between the cleaning pads and the floors
Implementation Method 6
a first sheet material, a second sheet material, and an absorption core located between the first sheet material and the second sheet material

AI summary
The present invention relates to the technical field of cleaning products, and especially relates to a floor cleaning pad. The floor cleaning pad includes a first sheet material, a second sheet material, and an absorption core, and further includes a function layer, the function layer includes at least three parts, and each part includes at least two layers; each layer includes a plurality of first strips extending towards two sides in a direction away from the center of the layer; and outer side ends of the first strips corresponding to the adjacent layers are not connected. The floor cleaning pad in the technical solution can not only effectively remove dirt such as debris on a floor, but also effectively clean out dirt such as debris, which is adsorbed into the floor cleaning pad, and expand a cleaning area.
