Vacuum Cleaner

Product and Process Design and Development

Vacuum Cleaner

Step 1: Constraints and Assumptions

➢ The vacuum system runs on an internal motor

➢ The vacuum is dynamic and moveable

➢ The vacuum removes dirt using suction

➢ The vacuum stores the collected particles

➢ The vacuums storage unit must be able to be emptied

Step 2: Function Tree

|Wire Assembly | |

|Wire wrapping mechanism |Without the wire wrapping mechanism the wire will keep obstructing the|

| |path of the user while cleaning. It will also become inconvenient for |

| |storage purposes. |

| |Thus the wire wrapping assembly will not stop the working of the |

| |vacuum cleaner but will just ensure safety and easy storage. |

|Wire |Without the wire there will be no current input to the motor and hence|

| |the motor will not work. Thus the vacuum cleaner cannot work without |

| |the wire....
