Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional household surface wet cleaners are not designed to effectively clean three-dimensional spaces and require separate power units, leading to a complex product structure and degraded user experience.
Innovation Solution
A combined cleaning device with a power module that can be assembled with either a vacuum cleaner module or a surface wet cleaner module, sharing a single power source and allowing for both ground and three-dimensional space cleaning, optimizing product structure and user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional surface wet cleaners are designed as integrated units with separate power sources, then each cleaning device can perform its dedicated function, but the product structure becomes complicated and user experience degrades
Solution Approach 1:
The power module is designed with universal compatibility to work with both vacuum cleaner modules and surface wet cleaner modules. The standardized mounting positions and electrical connections enable a single power module to support multiple cleaning functions, eliminating the need for separate power sources for each device type.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines previously separate power sources into a shared power module that serves both vacuum cleaning and surface wet cleaning functions. This merging reduces the total number of power units from two to one, simplifying the overall product structure while maintaining full functionality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If separate vacuum cleaners and surface wet cleaners are used, then comprehensive cleaning coverage is achieved, but the number of power units increases and structure becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The power module incorporates universal electrical interfaces and mounting mechanisms that accommodate both vacuum cleaner modules and surface wet cleaner modules. This allows a single power source to replace two separate power units, reducing energy system complexity while maintaining comprehensive cleaning coverage across different surfaces and spaces.
3Reliability
If traditional independent cleaning devices are purchased, then specific cleaning tasks are performed effectively, but additional devices are needed for three-dimensional space cleaning
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning system is segmented into modular components: a universal power module, vacuum cleaner modules for three-dimensional space cleaning, and surface wet cleaner modules for ground cleaning. This segmentation allows users to select and combine only the modules needed for specific cleaning tasks, achieving both specialized effectiveness and spatial versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The universal power module serves as a platform that can be configured with different cleaning modules to address various cleaning needs. By maintaining the power module as a constant universal base, the system achieves reliable performance across different cleaning applications while adapting to diverse spatial requirements.
