Self-Cleaning Belt System for Continuous Floor Cleaning Operations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional cleaning equipment requires manual cleaning of the cleaning belt, leading to labor-intensive operations and reduced efficiency due to the need for frequent maintenance and prolonged cleaning sessions.
Innovation Solution
A cleaning device with a driving roller, driven roller, flexible cleaning belt, garbage collection box, brush, sewage collection tank, clean water tank, and water squeezing rollers, where clean water flows onto the belt to clean it, and sewage and excess water are squeezed into the sewage collection tank, eliminating the need for manual cleaning and maintaining the belt's moisture content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional cleaning equipment is used with a motor driving cleaning parts to rotate, then the cleaning function is achieved, but manual cleaning of the cleaning parts is required frequently, increasing labor intensity and reducing cleaning efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning device performs self-cleaning through an automated system where a water supply component delivers clean water to the cleaning belt, and a water squeezing component removes dirty water and debris from the belt, eliminating the need for manual cleaning operations
Solution Approach 2:
The harmful function of dirty water and debris accumulating on the cleaning belt is extracted and removed through the water squeezing component, which separates and discharges the contaminants from the cleaning belt into a collection container
2Reliability
If manual cleaning of the cleaning belt is performed, then the cleaning belt can be maintained, but the cleaning session must be interrupted and time is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning device maintains continuous operation by automatically cleaning the cleaning belt during the cleaning process, with the water supply component and water squeezing component operating continuously to prevent interruptions in the cleaning session
Solution Approach 2:
Clean water is supplied to the cleaning belt in advance to prevent dirt accumulation, and the water squeezing component continuously removes contaminants before they can affect cleaning performance, maintaining belt cleanliness proactively rather than reactively
3Duration of action of moving object
If the cleaning belt accumulates dirty water and debris, then the cleaning device can operate continuously, but the cleaning belt becomes less effective and requires manual cleaning
Solution Approach 1:
The water squeezing component acts as an intermediary between the cleaning belt and the dirty water collection container, continuously removing contaminants from the belt and transferring them to the collection container, thereby maintaining belt performance during continuous operation
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously discards dirty water and debris from the cleaning belt through the water squeezing component and collection container, while clean water is continuously supplied to replace the removed water, maintaining the cleaning belt's effectiveness throughout operation
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
The solution allows for continuous cleaning without manual belt maintenance, reducing labor intensity and improving cleaning efficiency by keeping the belt clean and maintaining its moisture content, enabling completion of ground cleaning within a single session.
Implementation Method 1
sewage water and excess water on the cleaning belt are squeezed into the sewage collection tank by the water squeezing roller

AI summary
The disclosure relates to a cleaning device comprising a driving roller (10), a driven roller (20), a flexible cleaning belt (30) sleeved on the driving roller and the driven roller, a garbage collection box (50), a brush (60), a sewage collection tank (70), a clean water tank (80) and a water squeezing roller (90). The garbage collection box (50) is provided with a guide plate (51) near one end of the cleaning belt. The sewage collection tank (70) and the clean water tank (80) are located downstream of the garbage collection box (50) along the moving direction of the cleaning belt (30). The cleaning device is provided with a sewage collection tank (70) and a clean water tank (80). Clean fluid in the clean water tank (80) flows onto the cleaning belt (30) to clean the cleaning belt (30), and the sewage water and excess water on the cleaning belt (30) are squeezed into the sewage collection tank (70) by the water squeezing roller (90).
