Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electric trimming tools with vacuum attachment suffer from a narrowed negative pressure channel due to hose tangling during continuous rotation, leading to inefficient hair and debris collection, and have complex circuitry and high manufacturing costs.

Innovation Solution

A handheld electric pet trimming device with a 360-degree free-rotating adapter design, featuring a hose, adapter, and electric trimming tool, where the adapter includes connectors and a connecting pipe that allow for unhindered air flow through a 360-degree rotation mechanism, ensuring smooth hair and debris entry into the vacuum cleaner.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the trimming tool is continuously rotated to achieve a comfortable trimming angle, then the ease of operation is improved, but the connecting hose becomes tangled and the negative pressure channel is narrowed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrimming angle adjustmentVSAvoidnegative pressure channel畅通
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The adapter is designed to rotate 360 degrees relative to the hose connection, allowing the trimming tool to be positioned at any angle while maintaining a constant, untangled connection between the vacuum cleaner and the tool. This dynamic rotation capability enables continuous operation without hose tangling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Device complexity

If the trimming tool is powered by the vacuum cleaner, then the power supply is simplified, but the circuit structure becomes complicated and manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supply structureVSAvoidcircuit structure and manufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The power supply function is extracted from the vacuum cleaner and transferred to an independent rechargeable battery installed in the trimming tool. This allows the tool to operate independently without complex circuit connections to the vacuum cleaner, simplifying both the power supply structure and manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Stability of the object's composition

If a fixed connection structure is used between the hose and adapter, then the structural stability is improved, but the rotation capability is limited and the negative pressure channel may be narrowed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidrotation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The connection between the hose and adapter incorporates a rotating joint that maintains stable electrical and pneumatic connections while allowing 360-degree rotation. This dynamic connection preserves structural stability during operation while enabling full rotational freedom for comfortable trimming at any angle.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Applied Scientific Principles
