Description:DESCRIPTION
Technical Field
[001] This disclosure relates generally to vacuum cleaning devices, and more particularly to a multifunctional cleaning device, assembly, and method thereof.
Background
[002] Over time, floor cleaning technology has evolved significantly driven by advancements in engineering and materials science. Early cleaning methods primarily relied on manual labor and basic mechanical tools (such as, brooms and mops) which were labor-intensive and often ineffective for deep cleaning. Development of electric vacuum cleaners significantly reduced human effort required in floor cleaning. As technology progressed, features such as, bagless designs, High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters, and multi-surface capabilities, became standard in the electric vacuum cleaners. Additionally with the leverage of advanced sensors and smart navigation systems, the electric vacuum cleaners have been enhanced with automated cleaning features (such as robotic vacuum cleaners) that may free users from the manual effort associated with traditional methods.
[003] Conventional floor cleaning techniques have enabled provision of specialized cleaning devices based on the floor type (e.g., hardwood, tile, carpet, and laminate) and cleaning needs (e.g., dry dirt/debris cleaning or wet waste/stain cleaning). However, owning a plethora of specialized cleaning devices for different cleaning requirements may not be an optimal solution for every household. In the present state of art, multifunctional cleaning devices exist. However, such multifunctional cleaning devices use the same suction head and waste container for each type of cleaning requirement. Thus, the multifunctional cleaning devices may fail to efficiently meet different cleaning requirements, and may fail to prevent cross contamination between dry waste and wet waste in the waste container. Moreover, conventional multifunctional cleaning devices fail to provide a dedicated cleaning mode for disinfection (or hygiene cleaning).
[004] The present invention is directed to overcome one or more limitations stated above or any other limitations associated with the known arts.

The multifunctional cleaning device assembly 100 may further include a dry cleaning head 108. The dry cleaning head 108 may be configured to detachably attach with the vacuum head 106 through the locking mechanism. The dry cleaning head 108 is in fluid communication with the suction motor when the dry cleaning head 108 is attached to the vacuum head 106. The dry-cleaning head 108 is configured for the dry cleaning. In other words, the dry cleaning head 108 may be used to draw in dry waste, such as pet hair, dust, dirt, paper scarps, small debris, or the like from various places (such as floors, walls, mattresses, upholstery, or the like). This is further explained in greater detail in conjunction with FIGS. 2A and 3.
[021] The multifunctional cleaning device assembly 100 may further include a wet cleaning head 110. The wet cleaning head 110 may be configured to detachably attach with the vacuum head 106 through the locking mechanism.

The fluid container is in fluid communication with the wet cleaning head 110 via a dispensing slot when the wet cleaning head 110 is attached to the vacuum head 106.
[023] The fluid container is configured to separately store a base solution and salt. The base solution corresponds to clean water. By way of an example, the fluid container may include separate container (or chamber) for the base solution and the salt. It should be noted that the base solution is received through an inlet (not shown). The fluid container is also configured to dispense one of the base solution or a disinfectant liquid via the dispensing slot towards the wet cleaning head 110 based on the user-selected operation mode. The disinfectant liquid may include the base solution and the salt. This is further explained in greater detail in conjunction with FIG. 4.
[024] The multifunctional cleaning device assembly 100 may further include a control unit (not shown). The control unit may be communicatively coupled to the suction motor and the fluid container. The control unit is configured to manage the suction motor and the fluid container based on the user-selected operation mode. To manage the suction motor and the fluid container, the control unit may receive, via a user interface 112, the user-selected operation mode. The user interface 112 may be positioned on an upper end of the body 104. This is further explained in greater detail in conjunction with FIG. 5. To manage the suction motor, the control unit is configured to cause the suction motor to generate a predefined suction force based on the user-selected operation mode. The predefined suction force, for example, may be, but may not be limited to, high suction force, medium suction force, low suction force, or the like. By way of an example, high suction force may be required for the cleaning the mattresses, upholstery, sticky stains on the floor, or the like. The medium (or low) suction force may be required for cleaning small debris on the hard floors (e.g., wooden surface, tiles, or the like).
[025] To manage the fluid container, when the user-selected operation mode corresponds to the wet cleaning, the control unit is configured to cause the fluid container to release the base solution via the dispensing slot towards the wet cleaning head. When the user-selected operation mode corresponds to disinfection, the control unit is configured to cause the electrodes to electrolyze the base solution to obtain a disinfectant liquid. The disinfectant liquid is a hypochlorous cleaner solution (i.e., a solution of hypochlorous acid (HOCL)). Further the control unit is configured to cause the fluid container to release the disinfectant liquid via the dispensing slot towards the wet cleaning head. This is further explained in greater detail in conjunction with FIG. 4.
[026] Referring now to FIGS. 2A and 2B, perspective views of various cleaning heads for a multifunctional cleaning device are illustrated, in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIGS. 2A and 2B are explained in conjunction with FIG. 1. In an embodiment, the various cleaning heads may include the dry cleaning head 108 and the wet cleaning head 110. In FIG. 2A, a perspective view 200A of the dry cleaning head 108 is shown. The dry cleaning head 108 may include a first suction head 202A.

[031] The wet cleaning head 110 may further include a motorized second brush roll. The motorized second brush roll is partially externally accessible via the second suction head 202B. In other words, when the wet cleaning head 110 is positioned with the second suction head 202B facing the floor, the motorized second brush roll may be touching the floor. The motorized second brush roll may include microfibre material. The microfibre material may have high absorption capacity. The microfibre material, for example, may be, but may not be limited to, polyester, polyamides (such nylon, Nomex, etc.), composite of polyester, polyamides, and polypropylene, or the like. The motorized second brush roll is configured to clean the wet waste using the microfibre material.
[032] The wet cleaning head 110 may further include a set of nozzles. The set of nozzles is in fluid communication with the second suction head 202B and the fluid container (not shown) via a dispensing slot. The set of nozzles may be positioned over the motorized second brush roll. The set of nozzles may be of different shapes (circular, elongated, rectangular, etc.) and sizes. The set of nozzles is configured to release one of a base solution or disinfectant liquid on the microfibre material based on a user-selected operation mode (i.e., the wet cleaning mode or the disinfection mode). By way of an example, the set of nozzles may release the base solution (i.e., the clean water) when the user may select the wet cleaning mode for mopping (or wet cleaning) via the user interface 112. By way of another example, the set of nozzles may release the disinfectant liquid (such as HOCl) when the user may select the disinfection mode for hygienic floor cleaning via the user interface 112.
[033] The wet cleaning head 110 may include a second waste collection container 204B. The second waste collection container 204B is in fluid communication with the second suction head 202B.

[035] Referring now to FIG. 3, an exploded view 300 of a cleaning head 302 is illustrated, in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 3 is explained in conjunction with FIG. 1, FIG. 2A, and FIG. 2B. The cleaning head 302 may be one of the dry cleaning head 108 and the wet cleaning head 110. The cleaning head 302 may include a roller housing 304 (or roller brush housing). The roller housing 304 may be cylindrical in shape. The roller housing 304 may include a roller brush 306 (analogous to a motorized brush roll). In embodiments where the cleaning head 302 is the dry cleaning head 108, the roller brush 306 may include firm bristles over the surface for the dry cleaning. In embodiments where the cleaning head 302 is the wet cleaning head 110, the roller brush 306 may include microfiber materials over the surface for the wet cleaning or disinfection cleaning. The roller housing 304 may further include a roller motor 308. The roller motor 308 may be connected to the roller brush 306. The roller motor 308 may be configured to rotate the roller brush 306 while cleaning. The roller housing 304 may further include a control logic circuit 310. The control logic circuit 310 may be configured to manage a speed of rotation of the roller brush 306 via the roller motor. By way of an example, a user may change the speed of the roller brush 306 as per their cleaning requirements via the user interface 112. Alternatively, the speed of rotation of the roller brush 306 may be predefined for the user-selected operation mode.
[036] The roller housing 304 may further include a roller supporter 312. The roller supporter 312 may be positioned on a right end 314 of the roller housing 304. It will be apparent that the roller supporter 312 may be positioned on any one side of the roller housing 304. The roller supporter 312 may be configured to provide structural support to the roller brush 306. Additionally, the roller supporter 312 may hold the roller brush 306 in place to avoid misalignment (or unwanted movement). The roller housing 304 may further include a roller cover door 316. The roller cover door 316 may be represented in a circular shape. The roller cover door 316 may be positioned on a left end 318 of the roller housing 304. The roller cover door 316 may provide an opening for the roller brush 306. By way of an example, the user may place (or remove, or clean) the roller brush 306 from the roller housing 304 via the roller cover door 316.
[037] The cleaning head 302 may further include a waste collection container 320 (analogous to the first waste collection container 204A and the second waste collection container 204B). The waste collection container 320 may be of cylindrical shape. By way of an example, the capacity of the waste collection container 320 may be ‘1000’ ml. It will be apparent that the capacity of the waste collection container 320 can be more or less than ‘1000’ ml. The waste collection container 320 is configured to collect the waste (either dry waste or wet waste). The waste collection container 320 is in fluid communication with the roller housing 304 via a suction passage 322. By way of an example, the dry waste (or wet waste) may be collected into the waste collection container 320 through the suction passage 322 using a suction force.
[038] The waste collection container 320 may include a separator 324. The separator 324 may be positioned on a right end of the waste collection container 320. The separator 324 may be used to separate large solid particles (or large water droplets) from the waste before storing into the waste collection container 320. By way of an example, a cyclone separator may be used to collect large solid particles from the dry waste (e.g., for the dry cleaning head 108). By way of another example, a mist separator may be used to separate large water droplets from the wet waste (e.g., for the wet cleaning head 110).
[039] The waste collection container 320 may further include a magnetic connector 326. The magnetic connector 326 may be positioned on a left end of the waste collection container 320. The magnetic connector 326 may provide a magnetic based attachment. The waste collection container 320 may further include a connector valve 328. The vacuum head 106 may include a suction motor 330. The power of the suction motor 330 may be 180 AW (i.e., air watt). It should be noted that the power of the suction motor 330 may vary based on the requirement of the suction force. The suction motor 330 may be configured to generate a suction force. The suction motor 330 may be placed within a suction motor casing 332. The suction motor casing 332 may provide structural support and protect the suction motor 330 from dust, moisture, and physical damage. The waste collection container 320 (or the entire cleaning head 302) may be attached to the suction motor 330 within the suction motor casing 332 using the magnetic connector 326 via the connector valve 328.
[040] By way of an example, the magnetic connector 326 may be triggered using a physical switch (not shown in figure) positioned on right side of the user interface. Then, the magnetic connector 326 may allow attachment (or detachment) of interchangeable unit (i.e., the dry cleaning head 108 and the wet cleaning head 110) the from the suction motor. The physical switch may act as safety feature. Unless the physical switch is pressed and moved, the magnetic connector 326 may not release the interchangeable unit. This makes sure that the heads never be separate from suction motor during the run.
[041] It should be noted that the suction motor 330, and the dry cleaning head 108 (or the wet cleaning head 110) may be placed within the vacuum head 106. This arrangement may provide a flat (slim) structure to the vacuum head 106. The flat structure of the vacuum head 106 may provide access to clean under furniture (such as beds, sofas, etc.).
[042] The suction motor casing 332 may further include a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter 334 to filter air from the drawn in the waste. The HEPA filter 334 may be positioned on an outlet passage of the suction motor 330. The HEPA filter is in fluid communication with the waste collection container 320. Further, the filtered air may be released into the environment via a dispensing slot.
[043] Referring now to FIG. 4, a perspective view 400 of an exemplary fluid container is illustrated, in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 4 is explained in conjunction with FIGS. 1, 2A-2B, and 3. A fluid container 402 may include a water tank 404. The water tank 404 may be made using materials, such as plastic, fibre, or the like. The water tank 404 may be used to store water (analogous to the base solution). For example, the capacity of the water tank 404 to store water may be 600ml. It will be apparent that the water tank 404 may store more or less than the 600ml water in it. Additionally, the fluid container 402 may include a separate compartment (not shown) to store salt. The fluid container 402 may further include one or more inlets (not shown) through which water (i.e., the base solution) and salt may be added. The water tank 404 may receive the water through the inlet. The fluid container 402 may further include an electronic housing 406 (analogous to the housing). The electronic housing 406 may be made using materials, such as plastic, fibre, or the like. The electronic housing 406 may include a set of connecting wires. The fluid container 402 may further include an electrode 408. It will be apparent that the fluid container may include more than one electrodes. The electrode 408 may be made using materials, such as platinum, graphite, stainless steel, or the like. The electrode 408 may be attached to the electronic housing 406. Additionally, the electrode 408 may be disposed in the water tank 404.
[044] As depicted in FIG. 4, the electrode 408 may be disposed in the water tank 404 (or away from the ground) to enable easy and safe dissolution of hydrogen into large volume atmosphere through the vents. When the user-selected operation mode is the disinfection mode, the salt may be released from the separate compartment into the water tank 404. The electrode 408 may then be activated to electrolyze the water using salt to generate a disinfectant liquid (e.g., a hypochlorous acid). As will be appreciated, hypochlorous acid is a natural disinfectant solution.
[045] The fluid container 402 may further include a battery housing 410. The battery housing 410 may include a replaceable vacuum battery. The replaceable vacuum battery may be used to operate a multifunctional cleaning device. Additionally, the replaceable vacuum battery may be used to operate the electrode 408 for electrolysis during the disinfection mode. The electrode 408 may be connected to the replaceable battery through the electronic housing 406.
[046] By way of an example, when a user may select a wet cleaning or disinfection mode, in such case, the fluid container 402 may add salt to the water tank 404 to obtain a solution. Further, the electrode 408 may pass the electricity to the water tank 404 to electrolyze the solution (i.e., water + salt) to generate the hypochlorous acid (HOCl). The hypochlorous acid may release hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas may be released into the environment through one or more side grill slots. The hypochlorous acid may be a weak acid. The pH (i.e., potential of hydrogen) of the hypochlorous acid may be fall between range of ‘5 – 7’. The hypochlorous acid has a neutral charge. Therefore, the hypochlorous acid may not only repel bacteria but eliminate them. The hypochlorous acid may easily penetrate bacteria walls, resulting in it quickly killing the cells. It should be noted that the hypochlorous acid may eradicate all bacteria, mycobacteria, spores, fungi, viruses, or even the tough clostridium difficile within 15 seconds. The hypochlorous acid may disinfect 200 to 300 times better than the chemical based disinfectant cleaner solution.
[047] The fluid container 402 may further include a dispensing slot 412. The dispensing slot 412 may be used to dispense one of water or disinfectant liquid on the cleaning head (i.e., the wet cleaning head 110). The fluid container 402 may be in fluid communication with the cleaning head 302 through a connector. In continuation with the above example, when the user may select the wet cleaning mode via the user interface 112, the fluid container 402 may dispense the water over the roller brush 306 (i.e., the second motorized brush roll) on the wet cleaning head 110 via the dispensing slot 414. When the user may select the disinfection mode via the user interface 112, the fluid container 402 may dispense the hypochlorous acid over the roller brush 306 of the wet cleaning head 110 via the dispensing slot 414. The fluid container 402 may further include a handle 414. The handle 414 may enable the user to hold the fluid container of the multifunctional cleaning device when the fluid container is attached to the multifunctional cleaning device. Additionally, the handle 414 may enable the user to use the disinfectant liquid properly as the hand-held fluid container when the fluid container is detached from the multifunctional cleaning device.
[048] Referring now to FIG. 5, a front view 500 of a user interface 502 (analogous to the user interface 112) is illustrated, in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure.
