Lift-type cleaning device for floor washer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing automatic mops face inconvenience when switching between cleaning and drying modes, as complete water discharge is required, leading to poor cleaning efficiency due to dirt staining on the mop's inner bucket walls.
Innovation Solution
A lift-type cleaning device for floor washers, featuring a bucket with a static drying member and driver, allowing the drying member to rise and fall automatically, enabling real-time mode switching and preventing dirt staining.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If water in the bucket is completely discharged to switch between cleaning and drying modes, then mode switching is achieved, but operation becomes inconvenient and dirt on the inner wall stains the mop
Solution Approach 1:
The drying member is designed to be movable between a lower position (for cleaning mode) and an upper position (for drying mode) through a lifting mechanism. This dynamic positioning allows the system to adapt between different operational modes without requiring complete water discharge, thereby maintaining operational convenience while enabling mode switching.
Solution Approach 2:
The cleaning device is segmented into a cleaning tool portion and a drying member portion. The drying member can be independently positioned above or below the cleaning tool, allowing selective activation of cleaning or drying functions without affecting the entire system, thus avoiding the need to empty the entire bucket for mode switching.
2Reliability
If the drying member is always positioned above during drying, then drying effectiveness is improved, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The lifting mechanism is designed to automatically position the drying member in the upper position during drying operations through elastic restoration or gravitational force after the cleaning tool is removed. This self-service capability eliminates the need for complex control systems while ensuring the drying member is correctly positioned for effective drying.
Solution Approach 2:
The lifting mechanism utilizes elastic pieces or springs that store potential energy during the lifting process and release it to maintain the drying member in the upper position. This counterbalancing approach reduces the energy required to maintain the drying position and simplifies the overall structural design.
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 device simplifies operation, enhances cleaning and drying efficiency, and prevents mop staining by automatically managing the drying member's position, improving overall performance.
Implementation Method 1
the driver is an elastic piece disposed in the bucket, and the elastic piece has an end pressing against the bottom surface of the drying member and an end pressing against the bucket

AI summary
The invention provides a lift-type cleaning device for a floor washer, and belongs to the technical fields of accessories of floor washers. A cleaning tool for cleaning a floor is disposed on the floor washer. The lift-type cleaning device comprises a bucket for containing water, a drying member and a driver which are kept static during spin-drying are disposed in the bucket, and the cleaning tool is matched with the drying member; the driver is connected with the drying member and is able to control the drying member to rise; during cleaning, the drying member is located below; and during drying, the driver drives the drying member to rise. The device can automatically clean and dry the cleaning tool, which is able to move with respect to a scraper bar, of the floor washer, and is simple in structure and easy to use; moreover, the drive can automatically switch a mop to a drying mode or a cleaning mode in real time, so that the work efficiency is improved, and the mop can be effectively prevented from being stained by dirt on the inner wall of the bucket.
