Cleaner Holder Structure for Upper-Center Vacuum Charging Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vacuum cleaner holders are unable to accommodate cleaners with a center on the upper side, as they require charging terminals on the upper side, limiting their functionality and usability.
Innovation Solution
A cleaner holder design that includes a first body with a charging port for the cleaner and a second body that protrudes to support the cleaner, with a battery accommodating space and a second charging port, allowing for both wall-mounted and floor-standing configurations, and featuring a locking mechanism for secure attachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the holder is designed with support pieces on the lower side only, then it can hold cleaners with center on lower side, but it cannot accommodate cleaners with center on upper side
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is designed with dual functionality: it can hold cleaners with center on lower side using support pieces, and simultaneously accommodate cleaners with center on upper side using a recessed space with charging terminal. This multi-functional design allows a single holder to serve multiple cleaner types without requiring separate holder designs for each cleaner configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder structure is segmented into distinct functional zones: a lower support piece region for holding cleaners by their lower portion, and an upper recessed space for accommodating cleaners with upper-side centers. This segmentation allows each zone to independently serve its specific function, enabling compatibility with different cleaner configurations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the charging terminal is positioned on the upper side, then it can charge cleaners with center on upper side, but the holder cannot support such cleaners
Solution Approach 1:
The holder integrates both support and charging functions into a single structure. The recessed space not only provides physical support for cleaners with upper-side centers but also houses the charging terminal in its lower surface, enabling simultaneous support and charging operations for various cleaner configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The recessed space acts as an intermediary structure that bridges the gap between the charging terminal and the cleaner. By positioning the charging terminal on the lower surface of the recessed space, the holder creates an intermediate charging interface that can reliably connect with cleaners having upper-side centers, ensuring both support stability and charging functionality.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the holder accommodates multiple cleaner types, then versatility is improved, but the risk of loss and overturning increases
Solution Approach 1:
The holder incorporates preventive measures against loss and overturning by design: the recessed space physically constrains cleaners within a defined area, preventing them from falling over or being easily removed. The locking mechanism further proactively secures the cleaner in place, counteracting potential harmful effects before they occur.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of allowing cleaners to rest on their lower side as in traditional holders, the recessed space is configured to accommodate cleaners with upper-side centers, inverting the traditional support approach. This inverted design naturally prevents overturning by providing a cradle-like structure that secures the cleaner in an upright or designated position.

AI summary
A cleaner holder includes: a first body having a first charging port configured to charge a cleaner; a second body protruding from the first body to support the cleaner; and a battery accommodating space recessed in one surface of the second body and configured to accommodate a battery detachably mounted to the cleaner, wherein a second charging port configured to charge the battery is provided in the second body.
