Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cleaners, particularly horizontal types, suffer from inadequate separation of large-particle garbage and fine dust, leading to entanglement and blockage in dust-collecting cups, resulting in inefficient cleaning.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a single dust-collecting cup with simple filtering is used, then the device complexity is low, but the separation effect of large-particle garbage is insufficient and entanglement occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The dust collection system is segmented into two separate dust-collecting cups (first and second cups) with distinct functions. The first cup collects large-particle garbage through an inverted cone filter, while the second cup collects fine dust through a regular filter. This segmentation allows each cup to specialize in collecting specific particle sizes, improving separation effectiveness while preventing entanglement of large particles.
Solution Approach 2:
The first dust-collecting cup is nested within the second dust-collecting cup, forming a concentric structure. The air duct connects the inner first cup to the outer second cup, allowing airflow from the filter to carry fine dust into the second cup while large particles remain in the first cup. This nested arrangement maximizes space utilization and enables multi-stage separation.
2Manufacturing precision
If the filtering system has few filtering layers, then the device complexity is low, but large-particle garbage and fine dust are mixed and cannot be separated
Solution Approach 1:
The filtering system is segmented into two distinct filtering stages located in separate cups. The first filtering layer (inverted cone filter) is dedicated to large-particle separation, while the second filtering layer (regular filter) handles fine dust. This segmentation of filtering functions across spatially separated cups achieves effective multi-layer separation without requiring multiple stacked filters in a single location.
3Ease of operation
If large-particle garbage is collected in the dust-collecting cup, then the cleaning function is simple, but the large-particle garbage is entangled and blocked
Solution Approach 1:
The first dust-collecting cup uses an inverted cone filter configuration where the filter surface is positioned to receive large-particle garbage directly from the airflow. The inverted cone shape directs large particles to the outer wall where they are deposited and collected in the first cup, preventing them from entering the central air duct and causing blockages. This inverted configuration reverses the typical filter arrangement to specifically address large-particle handling.
Solution Approach 2:
Large-particle garbage is extracted from the main airflow stream by the inverted cone filter in the first cup before the air reaches the second cup. By removing large particles in the first stage, the system prevents them from traveling further and causing entanglement or blockage in the air duct or second cup, thereby improving reliability and reducing maintenance needs.
