Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional rotating brushes lack the ability to spray cleaning solutions, necessitating additional steps for removing stubborn stains, which complicates the cleaning process.
Innovation Solution
A rotating brush design incorporating a cavity for storing cleaning solution and a controlling device that allows the solution to be sprayed onto the surface at multiple angles, utilizing a motor-driven brush disk with bristles and a mechanism for dispensing and controlling the solution's application.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a conventional rotating brush is used without spraying function, then the structure is simple, but it cannot effectively remove stubborn stains requiring additional cleaning solution application steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the spraying function and cleaning function into a single integrated rotating brush device. The cleaning solution container, nozzle, and brush components are merged into one unit, allowing simultaneous or sequential operation of spraying and brushing without requiring separate devices or manual intervention steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The rotating brush is designed with multi-functionality by incorporating both the mechanical cleaning function (brush disk with bristles) and the chemical cleaning function (cleaning solution storage and spraying). This universal design allows the single device to handle both light and stubborn stains effectively.
2Ease of operation
If a rotating brush with spraying function is designed, then cleaning solution can be applied directly to improve stain removal, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The device is designed to be self-sufficient by integrating the cleaning solution container and spraying mechanism directly into the rotating brush. The user simply needs to operate the brush, and the device automatically provides both mechanical agitation and chemical cleaning solution application without requiring separate manual steps for solution application.
3Reliability
If multiple components are added to enable spraying function, then cleaning capability is improved, but the device becomes more complex and harder to maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The rotating brush is designed with segmented, modular components including the brush disk, bristles, cleaning solution container, and nozzle. These modular segments can be independently accessed, removed, cleaned, or replaced, facilitating easier maintenance and repair while ensuring reliable cleaning performance through optimized component functionality.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables effective removal of stubborn stains by spraying cleaning solutions directly onto the surface, improving cleaning efficiency and convenience by allowing multi-angle application.
Implementation Method 1
a water-stopping ball is provided in the second through-hole; the water-stopping ball is configured to move along the second through-hole to block both ends of the second through-hole
Implementation Method 2
a motor is provided in the rotating brush body, and an output shaft of the motor is provided with a brush disk; the motor is configured to drive the brush disk to rotate
Implementation Method 3
the motor is configured to drive the brush disk to rotate, so as to drive the plurality of bristles on the brush disk to clean a to-be-cleaned surface
Implementation Method 4
the controlling device is configured to control the cleaning solution in the cavity to be sprayed toward the to-be-cleaned surface, so as to help the plurality of bristles remove stains from the to-be-cleaned surface

AI summary
A rotating brush includes a main body, a cavity for storing a cleaning solution, and a controlling device. The cavity and the controlling device are arranged in the main body. The main body is provided with a motor, whose output shaft is provided with a brush disk. A lower surface of the brush disk is uniformly provided with bristles. The motor can drive the brush disk to operate to drive the bristles to clean the to-be-cleaned surface. The controlling device can control the cleaning solution in the cavity to be sprayed toward the to-be-cleaned surface to help the bristles clean the stubborn stains.
