Hollow Hexagonal Brush Head Array for Suction-Based Skin Cleaning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing face cleansing devices lack built-in suction capabilities in their brush hair or silica gel heads, limiting their effectiveness in thoroughly removing dirt from the skin.
Innovation Solution
An automatic suction cleaning structure featuring a fixing base with circumferentially arranged brush heads made of soft rubber or silica gel, which have a hollow structure and produce a suction effect when squeezed, allowing for thorough dirt removal through a sucking disc principle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional brush hair or silica gel heads are used in face cleansing devices, then the device structure remains simple, but the suction capability is completely absent
Solution Approach 1:
The brush head adopts a porous sponge material structure that enables suction functionality. The porous structure allows the brush head to absorb and retain water, creating a water reservoir that generates suction force when the device is moved across the skin, thereby providing suction capability without complex mechanical components.
Solution Approach 2:
The brush head integrates multiple functions into a single component: cleaning through brush hairs, exfoliation through silica gel nodules, and suction through the porous sponge structure. This multi-functional design allows one component to perform multiple skincare functions, reducing the need for separate devices.
2Productivity
If brush heads without hollow structure are used, then manufacturing is simpler, but dirt removal from skin surface is incomplete
Solution Approach 1:
The porous sponge material structure enables the brush head to create suction force through pressure differential when moved across the skin. This structure allows water to be drawn into the pores and then expelled under pressure, creating an automatic suction effect that enhances dirt removal from skin pores without requiring complex hollow cavity designs.
Solution Approach 2:
The brush head utilizes hydraulic principles through its porous structure to generate suction force. When the device is pressed against the skin and moved, the porous sponge compresses and releases water, creating pressure differential that draws dirt and impurities out of skin pores through suction, enhancing cleaning efficiency.
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 suction mechanism enables more thorough cleaning by automatically drawing dirt off the skin surface, enhancing the cleaning efficiency and convenience of the device.
Implementation Method 1
any one of the brush heads has an effect of suction when being squeezed
Implementation Method 2
a suction force produced by the tightly-attached brush heads is utilized during use to automatically suck dirt on the skin surface by means of a sucking disc principle

AI summary
An automatic suction cleaning structure is disclosed. The automatic suction cleaning structure is disposed on a cleaner body. The automatic suction cleaning structure comprises a fixing base (1) connected to the cleaner body and a number of brush heads (2) arranged on the fixing base (1). The brush heads (2) are made of silica gel, and are of a hexagon shape and a hollow structure. The number of brush heads (2) are arranged on the fixing base (1) in an array and distributed in a cellular arrangement. By arranging the cellular brush heads (2) of a hollow structure and utilizing a suction force produced by the tightly-attached brush heads (2) during use, dirt on the skin surface is sucked automatically by means of a sucking disc principle in a process of contact with the skin, to allow more thorough cleaning. A cleaner is also provided.
