Detachable Cleaning Assembly Clamp for Robot Mop Maintenance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Self-moving robots, such as sweeping and mopping robots, have limited functionality and reduced efficiency in cleaning due to the lack of a detachable structure that facilitates quick disassembly and assembly of functional components.
Innovation Solution
A detachable structure is implemented in the self-moving robot, allowing for easy detachment and replacement of cleaning assemblies like the cleaning head and water return mechanism, with a pressure plate and adjustable clamping mechanism for convenient maintenance and repair.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a robot is designed to move and perform tasks autonomously, then its functionality and adaptability are improved, but its structure becomes complex and difficult to manufacture
Solution Approach 1:
The robot body is divided into multiple detachable modules including head module, torso module, and leg modules. Each module can be independently manufactured and assembled, reducing overall manufacturing complexity while maintaining full robot functionality through modular combinations
Solution Approach 2:
The detachable modules are designed with universal interfaces and standardized connection mechanisms that allow the same modules to be reused in different configurations and applications, enhancing adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If a robot has a complex structure with multiple components, then its functionality is improved, but the manufacturing cost and difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the robot into standardized detachable modules, each module can be manufactured independently using optimized processes, reducing overall manufacturing difficulty compared to producing a monolithic complex structure
Solution Approach 2:
The detachable module design allows individual components to be replaced, repaired, or upgraded independently, reducing manufacturing costs by enabling localized production and reuse of functional modules across different robot configurations
3Strength
If a robot body is made as a single integrated structure, then its structural strength is improved, but it becomes difficult to repair and replace damaged parts
Solution Approach 1:
The robot body is segmented into detachable modules with reinforced connection structures that maintain overall structural strength while enabling individual modules to be independently removed and replaced for repair or upgrade
Solution Approach 2:
The connection structures between modules are designed to be dynamically adjustable, allowing for secure attachment during operation to maintain structural integrity, and easy detachment during maintenance for simplified repair access

AI summary
A detachable structure and a self-moving robot (100), the detachable structure being arranged on the self-moving robot (100), the self-moving robot (100) comprising a wet cleaning apparatus (200), the wet cleaning apparatus (200) comprising a shell (201) and a cleaning assembly arranged in the shell (201); the detachable structure comprises a pressing plate (280); the pressing plate (280) has a connecting end (281) and a moving end (282), the connecting end (281) being connected to the shell (201), and the moving end (282) being adjustably clamped to the shell (201); when the moving end (282) and the shell (201) are in a clamped state, the moving end (282) locks part of the structure of the cleaning assembly, such that the cleaning assembly abuts the shell (201); and, when the moving end (282) and the shell (201) are in a non-clamped state, the cleaning assembly can be removed from the shell (201). By means of the present design, the detachable structure can implement rapid and convenient mounting and detachment of a functional structure of the self-moving robot (100), facilitating subsequent care, maintenance, and repair of the self-moving robot (100).
