Solution Overview
Problem
Existing smart cleaning devices require detachment of the liquid-containing box, which can cause damage to the device and its components, especially sensors, and result in leakage and aesthetic issues due to the need to turn the device upside down.
Innovation Solution
A smart cleaning device design that allows the liquid-containing box to be replaced without detachment, using a connecting plate that can be removed in a forward or backward direction, with a guide structure and elastic parts for secure attachment, ensuring the device's compact and aesthetic appearance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the liquid-containing box is detached together with the cleaning cloth by turning the device upside down, then the cleaning cloth can be replaced, but the device may suffer impact damage to the top surface and sensor damage
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning assembly is segmented into three independent detachable components: the liquid-containing box connected to the machine body, the connecting plate connected to the liquid-containing box, and the cleaning cloth connected to the connecting plate. This segmentation allows the cleaning cloth to be replaced by detaching only the connecting plate in forward or backward direction, without needing to detach the liquid-containing box or turn the device upside down, thereby eliminating the risk of impact damage to the top surface and sensor damage.
2Ease of operation
If the liquid-containing box is detached together with the cleaning cloth, then the cleaning cloth can be replaced, but leaked liquid may flow to the inner portion and damage circuits and components
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning assembly is segmented into independent components where the connecting plate serves as an intermediate detachable element between the liquid-containing box and the cleaning cloth. When replacing the cleaning cloth, only the connecting plate needs to be detached in forward or backward direction, while the liquid-containing box remains securely connected to the machine body. This segmentation prevents leaked liquid from flowing to the inner portion and damaging circuits and components, as the liquid-containing box is not disturbed during cleaning cloth replacement.
3Ease of operation
If the liquid-containing box is detached for cleaning cloth replacement, then the cleaning cloth can be replaced, but the device structure loses compact appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning assembly is segmented into modular components (liquid-containing box, connecting plate, cleaning cloth) that can be independently attached or detached. The liquid-containing box remains permanently connected to the machine body, maintaining the device's compact appearance. The connecting plate and cleaning cloth form a separate detachable module that can be easily removed in forward or backward direction for cleaning cloth replacement, preserving the aesthetic appearance while enabling convenient maintenance.
4Ease of operation
If the cleaning assembly is detachably connected in forward or backward direction, then cleaning cloth replacement is facilitated without device damage, but the connection structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning assembly is segmented into three components connected in sequence: machine body-liquid-containing box, liquid-containing box-connecting plate, and connecting plate-cleaning cloth. Each connection uses simple detachable structures allowing forward or backward detachment. This segmentation enables easy cleaning cloth replacement by detaching only the connecting plate, while the overall structure remains manageable through its modular, linear arrangement.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of connecting the cleaning cloth directly to the machine body or requiring top-down assembly, the cleaning assembly uses bottom-up connection with the connecting plate attached to the bottom of the liquid-containing box. The cleaning cloth is then attached to the connecting plate, enabling forward or backward detachment for easy replacement without complex top surface operations.
