Split Adapter Plate for Cleaning Device Transport Handle Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing adapter plates for cleaning devices require a large surface area, leading to an unreliable connection during transport, increased weight, and high production costs due to material requirements, as they cover the transport handle and are not easily accessible, making handling and transportation cumbersome and costly.
Innovation Solution
The adapter plate is divided into two or more parts that can be mounted separately on the cleaning device without tools, allowing access to the transport handle and reducing weight, with adjustable positions and attachment mechanisms for various container sizes, ensuring a secure and efficient connection and reduced material usage.

1Area of stationary object
If the adapter plate is made as a large monolithic structure to accommodate containers, then the container support surface is sufficient, but the weight increases and the transport handle becomes inaccessible
Solution Approach 1:
The adapter plate is divided into multiple separate adapter plates (front adapter plate and rear adapter plate) that can be mounted independently on the cleaning device. This segmentation allows the transport handle to remain accessible between the adapter plates while still providing sufficient support surfaces for containers on each plate.
2Area of stationary object
If the adapter plate is made as a large monolithic structure to accommodate containers, then the container support surface is sufficient, but the material consumption and production costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The adapter plate is divided into multiple separate adapter plates (front adapter plate and rear adapter plate) that can be mounted independently on the cleaning device. This segmentation allows the transport handle to remain accessible between the adapter plates while still providing sufficient support surfaces for containers on each plate.
3Area of stationary object
If the adapter plate is made as a large monolithic structure to accommodate containers, then the container support surface is sufficient, but the connection reliability during transport decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The adapter plate is divided into multiple separate adapter plates (front adapter plate and rear adapter plate) that can be mounted independently on the cleaning device. This segmentation allows the transport handle to remain accessible between the adapter plates while still providing sufficient support surfaces for containers on each plate.
4Area of stationary object
If the adapter plate is made as a large monolithic structure to accommodate containers, then the container support surface is sufficient, but the overall weight of the cleaning device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The adapter plate is divided into multiple separate adapter plates (front adapter plate and rear adapter plate) that can be mounted independently on the cleaning device. This segmentation allows the transport handle to remain accessible between the adapter plates while still providing sufficient support surfaces for containers on each plate.
