CHARGING CRADLE INCLUDING COVER OPENING/CLOSING DEVICE AND CLEANING STATION FOR SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240090726 titled 'CHARGING CRADLE INCLUDING COVER OPENING/CLOSING DEVICE AND CLEANING STATION FOR SAME
Simplified Explanation
The charging cradle for a wireless vacuum cleaner includes a cleaning station with an automatic cover opening/closing device connected to the cleaner. The device consists of a lower case, upper case, middle case, cover, driver, and mechanical device.
- Lower case, upper case, and middle case form the structure of the device
- Middle case is rotatably coupled to the lower case and moves away or towards it
- Driver, powered by a motor, rotates and moves the middle case
- Mechanical device in the middle case opens/closes the cover in response to the driver's operation
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in the development of charging cradles for various wireless devices, such as robotic cleaners, electric toothbrushes, or smart home gadgets.
Problems Solved
1. Ensures efficient and convenient charging of wireless vacuum cleaners 2. Reduces the need for manual intervention in opening/closing the cover of the cleaning station
Benefits
1. Simplifies the charging process for users 2. Protects the wireless cleaner from dust and debris when not in use
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing the technology for use in charging stations for other wireless devices can open up opportunities in the consumer electronics market.
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing patents or products related to charging cradles with automatic cover opening/closing mechanisms, but further research is needed to identify specific examples.
Unanswered Questions
How does the automatic cover opening/closing device improve the user experience?
The device enhances user convenience by automating the process of opening and closing the cover, making it easier to dock and charge the wireless vacuum cleaner without manual effort.
What materials are used in the construction of the automatic cover opening/closing device?
The device may be constructed using durable and lightweight materials such as plastic or metal to ensure longevity and ease of operation.
Original Abstract Submitted
according to an embodiment of the disclosure, a charging cradle for mounting and charging a wireless vacuum cleaner, may include: a cradle, and a cleaning station including an automatic cover opening/closing device physically connected to the wireless cleaner and disposed on the cradle. the automatic cover opening/closing device may include: a lower case, an upper case integrally connected to the lower case, a middle case coupled to each of the lower case and the upper case and configured to be movable away from the lower case or toward the lower case, the middle case being rotatably coupled to the lower case, a cover configured to open/close the upper case, a driver comprising a motor and meshing with the middle case and configured to provide a force for rotating and moving the middle case, and a mechanical device provided in the middle case and configured to open/close the cover in response to operation of the driver.
