Storage base and vacuum cleaner assembly having same
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current hand-held vacuum cleaners are inconvenient for storage after use, as the cleaner main body and floor brush assembly are not neatly placed and are easily lost when disassembled.
Innovation Solution
A storage base with a first component connecting portion and a second component storage portion, arranged in a staggered configuration, to accommodate the vacuum cleaner components when not in use, ensuring they are securely stored and preventing loss.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the vacuum cleaner components are disassembled for storage, then the vacuum cleaner can be stored in a compact form, but the components become easy to lose and are not neatly placed
Solution Approach 1:
The storage base is divided into multiple independent storage portions: a first storage portion for the cleaner main body, a second storage portion for the floor brush assembly, and a third storage portion for the power adapter. Each portion is specifically designed to accommodate a particular component, allowing disassembled components to be stored separately while preventing loss through dedicated placement areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage base acts as an intermediary structure between the disassembled vacuum cleaner components and the storage environment. It provides a centralized platform with specific receiving areas that mediate the storage process, ensuring each component has a designated place while maintaining easy accessibility.
2Ease of operation
If the vacuum cleaner components are stored separately, then they can be neatly organized, but the storage structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple storage functions are merged into a single integrated storage base structure. The first, second, and third storage portions are combined in one base unit, along with a display device that monitors component presence. This consolidation provides neat organization without requiring multiple separate storage devices, balancing organization needs with structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage base serves multiple functions simultaneously: it stores the cleaner main body, floor brush assembly, and power adapter; it provides a display device for monitoring component presence; and it offers a centralized location for reassembling the vacuum cleaner. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate devices.
3Ease of manufacture
If the vacuum cleaner is stored as a complete assembly, then it is easy to store, but the components cannot be cleaned or maintained individually
Solution Approach 1:
The storage system is designed to be dynamic rather than static. Components can be easily inserted into and removed from the storage base portions, allowing users to disassemble components for cleaning or maintenance and then reassemble them conveniently. The display device also dynamically monitors component presence, providing real-time feedback.

AI summary
Provided are a storage base and a vacuum cleaner assembly having the same. The storage base is configured to store a vacuum cleaner. The storage base includes a first component connecting portion configured to store a first component of the vacuum cleaner and a second component storage portion configured to store a second component of the vacuum cleaner. The first component connecting portion and the second component storing portion are staggered with each other in a circumferential direction of the storage base.
