Solution Overview

Problem

When multiple cleaners with different functions are integrated and operate simultaneously, they interfere with each other's operations, leading to reduced efficiency and potential electrical power issues.

Innovation Solution

A method for controlling a cleaner that involves acquiring the working request and state of two apparatuses, determining if they meet an interference condition, and deactivating specific functional components to reduce power consumption and allow simultaneous operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple cleaners operate simultaneously, then cleaning productivity is improved, but interference between cleaners occurs and reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecleaning efficiencyVSAvoidoperation stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The control device continuously monitors the working states of both cleaners and dynamically adjusts functional components based on real-time feedback. When interference is detected, the system automatically deactivates or adjusts specific components to eliminate the interference while maintaining overall operation, thus preserving productivity while ensuring reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the operational state of functional components based on real-time working conditions. Instead of fixed operation modes, the control device modifies the working state of each cleaner's components adaptively, allowing simultaneous operation when conditions permit and automatic adjustment when interference occurs, thereby resolving the contradiction between productivity and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If multiple cleaners operate simultaneously, then cleaning productivity is improved, but electrical power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecleaning efficiencyVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The control device implements partial action by selectively activating or deactivating specific functional components of the cleaners based on actual working conditions. When simultaneous operation is required but power consumption would be excessive, the system activates only the necessary components rather than all components, thereby maintaining productivity while controlling power consumption within safe limits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If functional components are deactivated to reduce interference, then reliability is improved, but cleaning precision deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation stabilityVSAvoidcleaning quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The control device applies local quality by selectively adjusting specific functional components rather than deactivating entire cleaners. When interference is detected, only the problematic components are deactivated or adjusted, while other components continue to operate at full capacity. This localized adjustment maintains overall cleaning quality while eliminating interference, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and cleaning precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
