Robot Cleaner Bracket Mounting for Secure Cloth Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing robot cleaners lack an efficient mechanism for securely mounting and detaching a cleaning member, such as a damping cloth, which affects their ability to perform effective cleaning operations and maintain alignment during movement.
Innovation Solution
The robot cleaner incorporates a bracket with fixing ribs that are coupled to fixing slots on the main body, allowing for secure mounting and detection of the cleaning member, restricting movement to ensure proper alignment and operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a bracket with fixing ribs is used to mount the cleaning member, then the cleaning member is securely attached and aligned, but the bracket and cleaning member cannot be easily detached and reattached
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing mechanism is divided into separate components: the bracket with fixing ribs and the main body with fixing slots. This segmentation allows the cleaning member to be securely attached when needed while enabling easy detachment and reattachment, as the components can be independently assembled and disassembled without compromising the security of the connection.
2Ease of operation
If the bracket is detachably disposed by magnetic force, then the cleaning member can be easily attached and detached, but the alignment and secure mounting during cleaning operation are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple fixing mechanisms: magnetic force for easy attachment and detachment, and mechanical interlocking through fixing ribs and slots for secure mounting during operation. This merging of magnetic and mechanical fixing methods allows the bracket to be easily attached and detached while maintaining secure mounting and proper alignment during cleaning operations.
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple fixing slots are provided on the main body, then the cleaning member can be securely mounted with proper alignment, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing ribs on the bracket serve multiple functions: they engage with the fixing slots on the main body for secure mounting, provide alignment guidance during attachment, and enable easy detachment. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate alignment features, thereby reducing overall structural complexity while maintaining manufacturing precision and proper alignment.
