Automatic cleaning apparatus, and system
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cleaning robots have complex button assemblies that are difficult to assemble, maintain, and disassemble, leading to increased production costs and inconvenience during maintenance.
Innovation Solution
The automatic cleaning device features a simplified button assembly where the button cap and bracket are integrally formed with the cover plate, eliminating the need for separate assembly and reducing the risk of light and water leakage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If multiple separate components (bracket, button cap, adhesive layers) are used in the button assembly, then the button can be assembled to the cover plate, but the assembly process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket and cover plate are integrally formed as a single piece, eliminating the need for separate assembly of these components. This merging reduces the number of parts from multiple components to one integrated structure, directly simplifying the assembly process and reducing production time.
Solution Approach 2:
The button assembly is divided into functionally independent parts: the integrally formed bracket-cover plate structure and the separate button cap. This segmentation allows the button cap to be independently assembled or replaced without affecting the underlying support structure, simplifying maintenance and assembly operations.
2Ease of repair
If multiple layers and adhesives are used in the button assembly, then the button can be securely mounted, but maintenance and disassembly become inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket and cover plate are combined into an integral structure, eliminating the need for adhesive layers between these components. This merger removes the complex multi-layer construction that previously required adhesives, making the structure easier to maintain and disassemble while retaining secure mounting through the integral connection.
3Reliability
If separate bracket and cover plate components are used, then the button assembly can be constructed, but the risk of light and water leakage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket and cover plate are integrally formed to create a unified structure with continuous surfaces and seamless joints. This integration eliminates the gaps and interfaces between separate components that previously allowed light and water leakage, thereby improving sealing performance without adding complexity.
