Cleaning roller and rolling steam mop
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing rolling mops often spray cleaning water too concentrated, leading to slippery surfaces and potential safety hazards, as they do not effectively distribute water for efficient cleaning.
Innovation Solution
A cleaning roller with a rotating central shaft and steam channel, featuring steam outlets that diffuse steam outward through a cleaning layer, ensuring even water distribution and preventing excessive wetness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If cleaning water is directly sprayed onto the floor to be cleaned, then the cleaning water can be applied to the surface, but the cleaning water becomes too concentrated causing slippery surfaces and safety hazards
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning roller divides the cleaning water application into multiple segments through multiple spray holes distributed across the roller surface. This segmentation allows the cleaning water to be applied in distributed locations rather than concentrated in one area, preventing excessive wetness and slipperiness while maintaining effective cleaning coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The spray holes are strategically positioned at different locations on the cleaning roller to create local quality variations in water application. Each spray hole delivers cleaning water to specific local areas, ensuring even distribution and preventing any single area from becoming overly wet and slippery
2Quantity of substance
If cleaning water is directly sprayed onto the floor to be cleaned, then the cleaning water can be applied to the surface, but the cleaning effectiveness is reduced due to excessive concentration
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning roller segments the cleaning water delivery system into multiple spray holes, distributing the cleaning water across multiple locations. This segmentation optimizes the cleaning effectiveness by ensuring proper dilution and even distribution, allowing the cleaning solution to work more effectively without being too concentrated in any one area
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from a single-point water application to a multi-dimensional distribution system. The spray holes are arranged in different positions and orientations on the roller, creating a three-dimensional spray pattern that enhances cleaning effectiveness by covering the surface more uniformly and appropriately diluting the cleaning solution
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 effective cleaning without excessive surface wetness, enhancing safety by evenly adhering cleaning water to surfaces, suitable for various cleaning tasks including floors, walls, and carpets.
Implementation Method 1
steam flowing out from the first steam outlets is diffused outwards through the cleaning layer
Data Source
AI summary
Disclosed are a cleaning roller and a rolling steam mop. The cleaning roller includes a central shaft capable of rotating, a steam channel, and a cleaning layer. The steam channel is provided with a steam inlet and a plurality of first steam outlets; the steam inlet is used for communicating with a steam generation device: the plurality of first steam outlets are distributed in an axial direction of the central shaft. The cleaning layer is provided around the central shaft; and the steam flowing out from the first steam outlets can be diffused outwards through the cleaning layer When in use, the steam generated by the steam generation device enters the steam channel through the steam inlet, and then flows out from the first steam outlets, and is diffused outwards through the cleaning layer, so that the steam can be diffused to an object to be cleaned.
