Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cleaning devices lack effective solutions for maintaining the cleanliness and longevity of the cleaning brush head, as they often remain in a damp state post-use, leading to bacterial growth, mold, and frequent replacements.
Innovation Solution
A self-cleaning drying cleaning device equipped with a cleaning storage seat that includes an air drying device with a heating element, a charging device, and a brush head storage rack, which automatically dries, charges, and stores the cleaning brush head, preventing bacterial growth and extending its lifespan.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the cleaning brush head is kept in a damp state after use, then it is convenient to store, but it leads to bacterial growth, mold, and reduced service life
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning device automatically dries the cleaning brush head after use through an integrated drying mechanism, eliminating the need for manual drying operations. The system performs self-maintenance by activating the drying function when the cleaning head is placed in the storage compartment, thereby preventing moisture-related degradation while maintaining storage convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The drying function is activated before potential harmful effects occur. By automatically drying the cleaning brush head immediately after use, the system prevents bacterial growth and mold formation before they can develop, thereby extending the service life of the cleaning components.
2Device complexity
If the cleaning device is hung to dry or placed in corner after use, then it is simple to store, but it is not conducive to maintaining the cleaning brush head
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning device performs self-maintenance by automatically drying the cleaning brush head when placed in the storage compartment. The system includes sensors and automated drying mechanisms that activate without user intervention, eliminating the need for special storage arrangements while preventing harmful moisture accumulation.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage compartment acts as an intermediary environment that facilitates both storage and drying functions. By designing the compartment to include heating elements and air circulation systems, the patent creates a controlled environment that prevents bacterial growth while maintaining storage simplicity.
3Volume of stationary object
If the cleaning brush head is stored in damp conditions, then storage space is utilized, but the cleaning brush head becomes dirty and damaged requiring frequent replacement
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically dries the cleaning brush head in the storage compartment, preventing moisture-related degradation. This self-maintenance function reduces the frequency of brush head replacement by maintaining optimal drying conditions without requiring additional storage space or manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage compartment controls environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity to prevent moisture accumulation. By maintaining low humidity conditions through heating elements and air circulation, the system extends the service life of the cleaning brush head while utilizing existing storage space effectively.
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 self-cleaning drying cleaning device effectively prevents bacterial growth and mold on the cleaning brush head by ensuring it remains dry after use, thereby extending its service life and reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Implementation Method 1
The heating element is fixed inside the air drying device and electrically connected to the control motherboard. The heating element is adapted to heat the wind entering through the air inlet to increase the temperature of the wind blowing from the air outlet.

AI summary
A self-cleaning drying cleaning device includes a cleaning appliance (88) with a cleaning brush head (20), and a cleaning storage seat (10) used to store the cleaning appliance (88). The clearing storage seat (10) includes a cleaning storage seat main body (100) including a housing (101, 102) provided with a storage portion (1011) that is used to store the cleaning brush head, an air drying device (200) located inside the cleaning storage seat main body, and a control motherboard (300) electrically connected to the air drying device (200) and used to control the working mode of the air drying device. The housing has an air inlet (1021) and an air outlet (1013). The air drying device (200) directs wind from the air inlet (1021) to the air outlet (1013) and blows the wind to the storage portion (1011) to dry the cleaning brush head (20), avoiding the cleaning brush head (20) being kept in a damp state after cleaning, keeping the cleaning brush head (20) hygienic and clean.
