Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The complexity of autonomous cleaning devices, particularly with integrated sensing modules like LDS, makes maintenance difficult due to inaccurate installation, long assembly chains, and the need for disassembly of the entire device for module replacement, leading to increased maintenance time and user inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
A modular design for the autonomous cleaning device where the drive module, cleaning module, and sensing module are detachably assembled to the device body, allowing for separate assembly and disassembly without disassembling the entire device, with a protective upper housing and cover to ensure accurate positioning and protection of the sensing module.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the autonomous cleaning device integrates multiple functional modules (drive module, cleaning module, sensing module) into a single device body, then the device functionality and intelligence are improved, but the device complexity and maintenance difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The autonomous cleaning device is divided into multiple independent functional modules: drive module, cleaning module, and sensing module, each detachably assembled to the device body. This segmentation allows each module to be independently designed, manufactured, and maintained, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining full functionality.
2Measurement precision
If the sensing module is integrated into the device body, then the sensing accuracy is improved, but the maintenance time and difficulty increase due to the need to disassemble the entire device
Solution Approach 1:
The sensing module is separated as an independent detachable component from the device body, allowing maintenance personnel to access and replace it without disassembling the entire device. This segmentation maintains sensing accuracy through precise positioning features while dramatically reducing maintenance time and difficulty.
Solution Approach 2:
The sensing module is extracted as a standalone functional unit that can be removed from the device body. This extraction enables independent maintenance and replacement of the sensing module, eliminating the need to disassemble other parts of the device while preserving its integration benefits during operation.
3Manufacturing precision
If the device uses a fixed integrated structure, then the manufacturing precision is maintained, but the maintenance time increases due to the need to disassemble the entire device for module replacement
Solution Approach 1:
The device is segmented into modular components with standardized interfaces that ensure precise assembly while enabling quick detachment. The detachable design maintains manufacturing precision through precision-machined mounting features while reducing maintenance time by allowing direct module replacement without full device disassembly.
