DETAILED DESCRIPTION
This invention enables an easier way for cleaning the ceiling fans without any risks and accidents which actually occurs in traditional methods of cleaning. The fan dust cleaning kit comprises of the cleaning assembly, lifting assembly and the holding assembly.
The upper cleaning assembly consists the rectangular box with front opening (7) and rear opening (6). The box consists of the blower (5) which is situated at the top of the box facing down so that the air flow makes contact with the upper portion of the blade of the ceiling fan. The sole purpose of the blower is to focus on the upper section of the blades of the fan. The positioning of the blower is near the mouth of the entering part of the kit. The upper sponge (4) and lower sponge (3) that involves in the actual cleaning process are placed at an angle to enhance the cleaning levels. The upper and lower sponge, the sponges used are detachable and replaceable, through a simple sliding mechanism.
The lifting assembly consists of the telescopic rod (2) at the top end is where the cleaning assembly is situated. And at the lower end is the holding assembly. The lifting assembly is capable of various height variations depending on the height of the room and the height of the user.
The holding assembly is the combinations of the handle (8), switch (1) and battery. The grip handles are provided in a sufficiently large for suiting of any hand sizes.
A 12-volt blower (5) is a compact and efficient blower that is used in the kit. The DC blower is connected with control switches and battery using connecting wires of required length. The positioning of the blower is near the mouth of the entering part of the kit. It is placed at an angle of 60 degrees to achieve a maximum usage of the air.
The telescopic rod (2) is a versatile tool widely used in various applications. The pole has multiple sections that slide into one another and are secured with twist locks, clamps to maintain the desired length. Common specifications include a fully extended length ranging from 6 to 30 feet and a collapsed length of around 2 to 6 feet, making it highly adaptable for different heights. The diameter of the pole generally varies from 1 to 2 inches, providing a good balance between strength and ease of handling. Telescopic poles are often equipped with ergonomic grips. This also paves the way to replace the pole if at all it is damaged.
A sponge [3][4] is a highly versatile and absorbent tool commonly used for cleaning and various household tasks The dimensions of a standard household sponge usually range from according to the kit size, providing a comfortable size for handling and maneuvering during cleaning tasks, materials like polyester or nylon to assist in scrubbing tougher stains. The sponges rest over the projections provided in the box of the kit. it is deigned in a way that they are easily removable by the user and also can be replaced with a new one or can be washed and reused.
A switch [1] is installed for on and off operation. It is used to operate the blower. The control switch is situated at the holding assembly near the grip handles. It is connected with wires that lead to blower at the kit situated at the top of the pole. The other end of the switch gives way to the rechargeable battery that gives the actual supply to the blower.
The battery preferably 6V or 12V. The rechargeable battery gives the supply to the blower when the control switch is turned on. The blower used is 12V so the battery equipped also must be of the same voltage.
A handle for grip is a crucial component designed to provide comfort, control, and stability in the telescopic pole. Typically made from durable materials such as rubber, plastic, or foam, these handles are engineered to fit ergonomically in the user's hand, reducing fatigue and enhancing precision during use. The handle usually features a textured surface or grooves to prevent slipping, ensuring a secure grip even in wet or oily conditions.
The working procedure of the kit and its way of using the described embodiments are to be stated as follows. The mouth of the upper box is given as a rectangle section suitable for a free movement of the blade thorough the kit. The mouth can also be designed according to the profile of the blade of the ceiling fan. The blower situated inside the box has an opening on the blade, that enters through the mouth. The kit is simpler in construction it has an adjustable stick which is scientifically termed telescopic rod. The rod is made up of either plastic or aluminum, so it is weight less for handling to the user. The telescopic rod in the at the bottom end of the rod, have a grip to the hand marked in the so that it is convenient for the user, and at the upper end of the rod is where a cuboidal or cubic shaped box is present where is actual cleaning process happens The upper cuboidal box shaped element has a blower on its upper part, which is supplied by a rechargeable battery and is controlled by a switch that is present at the grip of the handle.
The cleaning process is very simple. The kit is checked and is charged fully. The kit is inserted in the blade of the ceiling fan and is moved to the root of the blade. then the switch is turned on by the user that activates the blower. This results in destabilizing the dust accumulated on the blades. Now the kit is slowly moved through the end of the ceiling blade. during this time the dust that is being blown from the blade of the ceiling fan is collected by the sponge that is present at the upper side. The pressurized air from the blower hits the upper surface of the blade of the ceiling fan Which helps to destabilize the dust settled on the blades. The dust is then wiped off from the blades with the help of the sponge that is being installed there. The upper sponge is given with a wavy surface so the clearing efficiency is a bit higher it can also be used as flat sponge surfaces. The lower sponge is in the it is used to clean the lower surface of the blades of the ceiling fan. The blower, battery and the switches are connected through wires.
The sponge at the lower side is also playing its role of wiping of the dust from the lower surface of the blade of the ceiling fan. Now as the kit reaches the end of the blade the switch is turned off by the user. As the one of the blades of the ceiling is cleaned, now the kit is moved to the other blades in order to complete the cleaning process. The height of the rod is adjusted as per the height of the ceiling fan. After the work with the kit is over the kit is charged for further use.
Further improvements on the kit can also be achieved by using a control joystick to adjust the speed of the blower to make sure to use proper energy consumption according to the dust accumulated on the blades of the blades of the fan. This can be achieved by installing a regulator to control the speed of the blower. More advanced technologies such as angular mechanism can also be equipped to also adjust the direction of flow of air by tilting the initial position of the blower, in the way the opening must also be wide enough equipped with nozzles to attain a good efficient duty. The mouth also can be modified according to the profile of the fan blades. The size of the kit must also be provided with good clearances so that the fan blades are not damaged while the cleaning processes.
The kit is designed in a way so that it can be easily handled and make the cleaning process much easier. It is obvious that there is another attachment to vacuum cleaners that can be equipped to clean the ceiling fans. But it is also known that the vacuum cleaners are not available at all households as many of the families are economically weak in our country of India. So, we have made an invention of an affordable product so all families even at the weaker section of India could use our idea.
