Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional charging and storage devices for power devices like vacuum cleaners are limited to single modes of operation, such as standing on the ground or hanging on the wall, restricting their application based on available storage conditions.

Innovation Solution

A vacuum cleaning system that includes a charging device with a versatile storage solution, allowing it to be connected to a fixed base for vertical storage or hung on a vertical wall, providing users with the flexibility to choose a fixing method based on site conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the charging device is designed for single-mode storage (standing or hanging), then the structure is simple, but the adaptability to different storage conditions is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to storage conditionsVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The charging device is designed with dual mounting capabilities: it can be installed on vertical walls via a wall-mounted bracket or placed on horizontal surfaces via a fixed base. This multi-functionality allows the same device to adapt to different storage conditions (vertical or horizontal spaces) without requiring separate designs, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The charging device incorporates detachable connection mechanisms that allow dynamic reconfiguration between wall-mounted and floor-standing modes. The connection structures can be assembled and disassembled according to installation needs, enabling the device to transition between different operational states and adapt to varying spatial requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the charging device uses fixed installation method, then the installation is simple, but the flexibility of installation location is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility of installation locationVSAvoidinstallation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The charging device is divided into modular components: a main charging unit, a wall-mounted bracket with connection structure, and a fixed base with connection structure. These segmented modules can be independently assembled or disassembled, allowing flexible installation at different locations (wall or floor) while maintaining relatively simple installation procedures through standardized connection interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If the charging device is designed with detachable connection structures, then the versatility of installation methods is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveversatility of installation methodsVSAvoidconnection structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces standardized connection structures as intermediary components that facilitate the transition between different installation modes. These connection structures serve as mediators between the charging device and the mounting surfaces (wall or floor), providing a unified interface that simplifies the overall system while enabling versatile installation methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
