Solution Overview

Problem

The existing floor washing machines require the replacement of the entire rolling brush assembly, including connected installation accessories, which leads to increased replacement costs for users and manufacturers, and complicates the disassembly process for users.

Innovation Solution

A cleaning device design that allows the rolling brush assembly to be disassembled independently from the connection assembly using a control rod, enabling the replacement of the rolling brush without replacing the connected installation accessories.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the rolling brush assembly is integrated with the connection assembly as a single unit, then the structural simplicity is improved, but the replacement cost increases and replacement efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural simplicityVSAvoidreplacement efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The floor brush assembly is divided into two independent parts: the rolling brush assembly (including rolling brush body and support portion) and the connection assembly (including connection body and installation assembly). The support portion connects to the connection body through a detachable connection structure, allowing the rolling brush assembly to be separated and replaced independently without replacing the connection assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of manufacture

If the rolling brush assembly is integrated with the connection assembly, then the manufacturing process is simplified, but the replacement cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing process simplicityVSAvoidreplacement cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The floor brush assembly is segmented into replaceable rolling brush assembly and reusable connection assembly. This allows users to replace only the worn rolling brush assembly while retaining the connection assembly, significantly reducing replacement costs compared to replacing the entire integrated unit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The design enables discarding only the consumable rolling brush assembly (including rolling brush body and support portion) while recovering and reusing the durable connection assembly (including connection body and installation assembly). This selective replacement approach reduces material waste and replacement costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering

3Reliability

If traditional buckles or screwing methods are used to connect the rolling brush assembly, then the connection reliability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoiddisassembly convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

A control rod is introduced as an intermediary component that controls the fixing element (buckle). By pushing the control rod, the fixing element automatically disengages from the positioning groove, enabling easy separation of the rolling brush assembly from the connection assembly without manual manipulation of complex fastening mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
