Water Vacuum Suction Head Parking Angle for Faster Drying
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional vacuum cleaners face issues with reduced suction force due to clogged filters and moisture accumulation in water vacuum cleaners, leading to prolonged drying times and potential health problems.
Innovation Solution
A vacuum cleaner design featuring a removable suction head with an adjustable positioning element that allows it to be inclined at an angle greater than 0°, facilitating faster drying by allowing water to drain back into the container, thus preventing moisture accumulation and improving handling convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the suction head is kept in a horizontal position during operation, then it can be easily attached and detached from the water container, but moisture accumulates in the suction head components leading to prolonged drying times
Solution Approach 1:
The suction head is designed with a tiltable structure that allows it to dynamically change its orientation from horizontal during operation to inclined during storage. The positioning element enables the suction head to assume an inclined position relative to the water container, facilitating water drainage while maintaining ease of attachment and detachment during cleaning operations.
2Reliability
If water vacuum cleaners are used instead of filter-based vacuum cleaners, then dust and dirt particles are completely bound in water preventing health problems, but moisture accumulates in unwanted places in the components
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the harmful moisture from the suction head components by providing an inclined parking position that enables water to drain out of the suction head and into the water container. This separation of water from the motor housing and separator components eliminates the moisture accumulation problem while preserving the effective particle binding capability of the water container.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the suction head is positioned horizontally on the water container, then it provides a stable resting position, but water runs into the motor head during operation and cannot drain effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The invention introduces a new spatial dimension by tilting the suction head at an angle relative to the water container during storage. This angular positioning creates a gravitational gradient that directs water flow from the motor housing and separator toward the water container, transforming the static horizontal resting position into a dynamic drainage-oriented configuration.
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 inclined positioning of the suction head accelerates drying, prevents moisture-related issues like mildew and odors, and enhances handling by allowing the suction head to be placed in a stable, dry position for easier maintenance.
Implementation Method 1
a motor generates an air stream, which sucks in dust and other contaminants through a nozzle
Implementation Method 2
the suction head, in the second position relative to the first position, is inclined at a first angle (γ) greater than 0°... causes water which has entered the motor head during operation of the water vacuum cleaner to run down obliquely towards the bottom and then to flow or drip into the container

AI summary
The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner, comprising a carrier part, a liquid container, and a suction head. A bracket is pivotably fastened to the liquid container, so that the bracket can be used as a positioning element for the suction head. The suction head can be fixed in a parking position that is tilted by an angle (γ) greater than 0° from the top edge of the container, in that the suction head lies on the bracket. The bracket is latched to the container in the parking position.
