Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The inconvenience of pouring out solid debris together with wastewater from a wastewater tank in cleaning devices, which affects user experience during cleaning.
Innovation Solution
A wastewater tank design with a partition member that divides the tank into two chambers, allowing solid-liquid separation by guiding wastewater into a lower chamber via a drainage part, enabling separate pouring of debris and wastewater.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If solid debris and wastewater are collected together in a single chamber, then the wastewater tank structure is simple, but it is inconvenient to pour out the solid debris together with the wastewater, affecting user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The wastewater tank is divided into two separate chambers: a first chamber for collecting solid debris and a second chamber for collecting wastewater. The partition member with a drainage part separates these two chambers, allowing solid-liquid separation. This segmentation enables users to pour out wastewater from the second chamber while solid debris remains in the first chamber, solving the inconvenience of mixed disposal while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
2Productivity
If solid debris is retained in the wastewater tank, then complete wastewater collection is achieved, but it becomes inconvenient to clean the tank by pouring out contents
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing the tank into two chambers with the partition member, the invention enables separate removal of wastewater and solid debris. Users can efficiently clean the tank by pouring out wastewater from the second chamber while solid debris remains contained in the first chamber, significantly improving cleaning efficiency and operational convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The partition member with the drainage part extracts and separates the liquid component from the solid debris. This allows the wastewater to be taken out and disposed of separately from the solid debris, making the cleaning process more efficient and user-friendly.
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
Enables rapid and efficient cleaning of solid debris and wastewater, improving user experience and practicability by allowing separate disposal of contents.
Implementation Method 1
an air induction member extracts air from within the wastewater tank so as to create a negative pressure therein, thereby drawing wastewater together with solid debris into the wastewater tank
Implementation Method 2
the partition member divides the wastewater tank into a first chamber located above the partition member and a second chamber located below the partition member, and the first chamber is in communication with the second chamber via the first drainage part; wastewater in the wastewater tank is collected into the first chamber via the suction pipe, and water portion in the wastewater collected into the first chamber is guided into the second chamber via the first drainage part, such that solid debris in the wastewater is stored into the first chamber

AI summary
A wastewater tank includes a tank cover assembly that includes a partition member. The partition member is provided with a first drainage part. The partition member divides the wastewater tank into two chambers located above and below the partition member, respectively, and the two chambers are in communication with each other via the first drainage part. The partition member is provided with a mounting hole configured for a suction pipe to pass through. In the case that the wastewater tank is used, the wastewater in the wastewater tank is collected into the chamber above the partition member via the suction pipe, and the water portion in the wastewater collected into the chamber above the partition member is guided into the lower chamber via the first drainage part, such that the solid debris in the wastewater is stored into the upper chamber.
