Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a cleaning device with liquid storage and waste preservation functions is used, then cleaning effectiveness is improved, but device volume increases and occupies workspace
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning device utilizes the existing barrel body as the primary liquid storage container, nesting the cleaning function within an already-present structure. The tub body is disposed on top of the barrel body, creating a nested configuration where the barrel serves as the reservoir and the tub provides the cleaning interface, thereby eliminating the need for separate large-volume storage containers.
Solution Approach 2:
The barrel body serves multiple functions: it acts as the liquid storage container, the structural base for the cleaning device, and the receptacle for recycled cleaning liquid. This multi-functionality reduces the overall device volume by eliminating redundant components that would otherwise be needed for each function.
2Device complexity
If cleaning liquid is not recycled, then device complexity is reduced, but operational costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The device automatically recovers cleaning liquid by using the sucking device to extract liquid from the tub body and return it through the tube to the barrel body. This recycling mechanism prevents cleaning liquid from being discarded, reducing operational costs while maintaining relatively simple device structure through the use of basic suction and return components.
Solution Approach 2:
The cleaning device performs self-service by automatically recycling its own cleaning liquid through the sucking device and tube system, without requiring external intervention or complex processing systems. The device maintains its own liquid supply by continuously pumping and returning cleaning liquid to the barrel body.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the cleaning device is made mobile and movable, then adaptability is improved, but device volume and workspace occupation increase
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning device is segmented into separable components: the tub body that can be removed and repositioned, the sucking device that can be independently operated, and the tube that connects them. This segmentation allows the device to be easily moved, reconfigured, or stored in compact forms, improving adaptability without requiring a large fixed structure.

Function Achieved in This Case
The device is space-efficient, environmentally friendly, and economical, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly, and effective recycling of cleaning liquids, reducing waste and operational costs.
Implementation Method 1
The sucking device is for being disposed in the interior of the barrel body to suck the liquid
Implementation Method 2
the liquid enters the receiving space from the inlet and flows back into the interior of the barrel body through the communication portion

AI summary
A recycling cleaning device includes a tub body, a sucking device and a tube. The tub body has a receiving space, an inlet communicating with the receiving space and a communication portion for communicating with the receiving space. The tub body is for arrangement on a barrel body and defines at least one passage with the barrel body. The sucking device is for disposed in the barrel body. The tube is connected with the sucking device and has an outlet. When the sucking device is disposed in the barrel body, the tube extends from an interior of the barrel body outside the barrel body through one of the passages, and the outlet is controllably arranged substantially toward the inlet of the tub body.
