Insist on Innovation —— Dyson leads the way of intelligent vacuum cleaner innovation with profound insight

With the continuous change of technology and the continuous expansion of application fields, people's imagination of smart home is becoming more and more eager. Nowadays, indoor life scene has become one of the main positions of "science and technology benefit mankind". Today, we take the largest category vacuum cleaner in the global small household appliance market as an example to take stock of its subversive innovation and technical application, and see how it depicts the intelligent future from the daily housework-cleaning dust.

Dyson's attitude towards smart home-everything starts from the user experience.

Speaking of vacuum cleaners, we can't bypass Dyson. Since the establishment of the company, every innovation has subversive significance to the industry. The same is true in the field of smart home.

To realize the intelligence of vacuum cleaner products, the first consideration is the intelligent adjustment of suction, so as to "target" according to different situations. For example, families with carpets will face a problem: dirt hidden between carpet fluff is usually more difficult to remove than dirt on hard floors. Therefore, Dyson installed the DLS intelligent sensing system on the high-torque suction head of vacuum cleaner V 1 1 released in 20 19, so that the suction head can monitor the power consumption caused by the resistance of brush bar contact through the sensor, so as to identify whether the vacuum cleaner works on hard floor or carpet, and then cooperate with the digital motor microprocessor.

This intelligent function was advanced at that time, but in the spirit of "continuously improving one product and continuously optimizing the existing invention", Dyson upgraded the intelligent suction adjustment function again, and realized the parallelism of the two systems on V 15-in addition to the DLS intelligent induction system, Dyson also equipped it with an intelligent speed regulation system realized by piezoelectric acoustic sensors: after the dust is inhaled by the vacuum cleaner, the sensor located inside the vacuum cleaner will sense every impact of the dust. The sensor will accurately calculate and analyze the amount and size of dust, and then transmit the signal to the motor and battery through the chip, so as to realize the effect of automatically adjusting the suction according to the dust concentration.

Induction measurement, calculating the size and quantity of dust particles.

From the evolution of intelligent suction adjustment function, it can be seen that for Dyson, the seemingly complicated smart home is actually very simple-everything is based on the user experience, so that users can easily and laboriously complete the efficient and scientific dust removal work and achieve the effect of "1+ 12". At the same time, everything is health-oriented, helping users to create a healthier home environment and truly be useful and intelligent.

In addition to intelligently adjusting suction, Dyson has many innovative practices, and has completed both the tasks of experience and health. In 20 19, Dyson installed an intelligent LCD screen for V 1 1. This LCD screen can display the suction status of the vacuum cleaner, the battery charge, and can also adjust the suction through the buttons below. By the release of V 12 and V 15 of 202 1, the vacuum cleaner has evolved to count the amount of dust inhaled by piezoelectric acoustic sensors, and the LCD screen has upgraded this function again, realizing the function of visual classification of dust data and helping users improve their home environment in an intuitive and scientific way.

Clear data proves that deep cleaning is really visible.

Dyson vacuum cleaner has a lot of practical "great wisdom". In the past, when cleaning the house, users had to "go to the ground" with rags and brooms, or step on stools or lie under the bed, or try their best to move heavy objects to clean the gaps in the corner, which was time-consuming and laborious. In order to solve the user's pain points, Dyson developed a vacuum cleaner with strong suction and light weight, and equipped with suction head accessories suitable for various use scenarios, so that users can easily complete the whole house cleaning without letting go of a corner and a height; A vacuum cleaner without an efficient filtration system may discharge secondary pollution from waste gas during operation, which is harmful to health. Dyson installed multiple filtration systems on the vacuum cleaner, and sealed the whole machine to ensure clean air discharge and avoid secondary pollution.

Dyson multi-machine filtration system effectively seals and filters dust firmly.

It should be noted that Dyson has spared no effort to meet the needs of users in urgent need of scientific and technological support, which is perfect: thanks to the powerful computing power of Dyson chip, V 15 can adjust the suction according to the dust concentration instead of the approximate cleanliness, which is more scientific and does not need to switch modes manually; Where there is no need for excessive force, Dyson also applies innovation to the "blade" in a restrained manner. For example, when the user moves the vacuum cleaner from the wooden floor to the tile floor or other hard floor, if the suction adjustment is only based on this, there will be no obvious difference in the vacuum cleaning effect, and it will also cause invalid power loss and affect the user experience.

Looking at the present, mankind is rapidly moving towards the era of electrification and informatization, and some innovative achievements are riding the trend of scientific and technological development and information circulation, but they have come to a hasty end. Dyson chose to focus on R&D with a down-to-earth attitude, always taking users as the starting point and the end result, tapping demand and meeting demand. Such a spiritual core prevented it from "innovating for the sake of innovation", and stood out from the trend and became a real reformer.

Dyson vacuum cleaner's leading position in the industry-43 years of technical precipitation, it is difficult for pioneers to surpass.

It is no coincidence that Dyson can continue to lead the industry. From the beginning, "solving problems that others easily ignore" has been deeply embedded in Dyson's DNA.

In 1970s and 1980s, a user of Hoover vacuum cleaner in Britain found that his vacuum cleaner always lacked suction after a period of use. After disassembling the vacuum cleaner, he was convinced that the source of reduced suction was the airway blocked by dust.

This is a problem that has been closely related to the user experience since the birth of vacuum cleaner, but it has been put on hold frequently because of technical problems and market interests. However, users who graduated from the Royal College of Art majoring in home and interior design are not going to let go. "If I really care about dust bags and weak suction, there must be other users who think so." He decided to try to solve the problem. And this test is a full five years, 5 127.

This user is james dyson, the inventor of bag-type double cyclone vacuum cleaner without dust collection. Starting from model 5 128, the world's first dust-free bag vacuum cleaner was born. 1993, with the advent of Dyson's "double cyclone" technology, Dyson DC0 1 with double cyclone separation technology was listed in the UK. By 1994, this vacuum cleaner had become one of the most popular styles at that time. Since then, vacuum cleaners have entered the era of "cleaning bags", and the whole industry has taken a big step forward relying on this new technology.

Dyson patented dust gas separation technology

Since the birth of the first Dyson dust-free bag vacuum cleaner, later generations have followed suit, and this new type of vacuum cleaner has quickly entered the daily life of the public. However, technology can be imitated, and the core of an enterprise cannot be copied. In the boiling market, Dyson is still following the rhythm of "helping consumers understand and solve real needs" step by step, putting user needs first, constantly improving and optimizing products, so that Dyson's vacuum cleaner can always stay one step ahead of the market.

Dust-free bag cyclone technology avoids the dust bag and airway being blocked by dust and solves the problem of suction loss, but Dyson noticed that energy loss is equally important. Although the cyclone is strong, its energy consumption is too high and its endurance is weakened, which will also have a huge impact on the user experience. So Dyson disassembled, studied and reorganized the double cyclone technology, and finally found that using multiple cyclones can not only achieve the separation effect of large cone cyclone, but also reduce energy consumption and achieve longer battery life.

So in 2002, Dyson introduced its multi-cone cyclone separation technology to the market, and in 20 12, it introduced the double-layer radioactive cyclone separation technology. 20 13 micro-vibration cyclone separation technology came out nearly 30 years ago. Every self-innovation of Dyson means that users can enjoy a more powerful, nondestructive and lasting vacuum cleaning experience, which is the "heart" of a vacuum cleaner.

Dyson's innovation is not over yet. After solving the suction and endurance, Dyson's engineers turned their attention to the main target of vacuum cleaner-dust. As a leader in the vacuum cleaner industry, Dyson is an expert in dust research. It is found that even people with good eyesight find it difficult to find the fine dust combined with the floor.

How to solve this problem for consumers? After many calculations, Dyson's engineers found that lasers, especially green lasers with high safety level, good directivity and high energy, can better help human eyes identify fine dust. In 20021year, Dyson released the world's first and only cordless vacuum cleaner equipped with laser detection function-V12 DetectSlim, so that consumers no longer have to be in "Have I cleaned it?" In distress.

Laser detection makes dust particles that are difficult to observe with the naked eye visible.

James dyson once said in an interview: "In terms of thinking process, it is much more difficult to continuously improve a product and continuously optimize existing inventions than to change the direction of research and development." Dyson promised to be a "pioneer" with practical actions.

Dyson's smart home vision-to build a healthier and safer home with users.

Dyson's vacuum cleaner can ensure the intelligence, labor-saving and high efficiency of indoor dust removal in hardware, but in fact, everyone's subjective will is indispensable to create a healthy home environment. Only when a person knows what a healthy home is can he correctly use tools to realize his ideas.

Dyson attaches importance to dust research and user's dust removal education, hoping to tap the undiscovered needs of users from continuous and in-depth research and solve them first, so that users can enjoy a healthy and efficient use experience. Through years of research, Dyson constantly shows the "true face" of dust that is not easy to be found to users-there may be many crises in a seemingly clean home environment, and indoor cleaning should not be limited to dust visible to the naked eye; Invisible indoor cleaning secondary pollution may be threatening the health of family members, and the filterability and sealing of vacuum cleaner are very important. These findings have improved many cleaning misunderstandings from the source and played an important role in creating a healthy home environment.

In addition to correcting the misunderstanding, Dyson also realized that with the increasing demand of China consumers for the health of the home environment, the dust removal methodology must also keep up. Dyson, based on his profound insight into dust characteristics, put forward four principles of high-efficiency dust removal, guiding actions scientifically and making dust removal tools more efficient.

Rule 1: Choose strong suction to reduce dust leakage and efficiently absorb dust at home.

Rule 2: strong suction should also last for a long time, so that daily cleaning has no worries.

Rule 3: Choose the sealed dust-collecting products of the whole machine, filter the air, and lock up tiny particle pollutants such as bacteria and allergens to achieve truly effective cleaning and avoid secondary pollution.

Rule 4: The corner of the house may hide the filth and shelter the filth. When cleaning, pay attention to cleaning corners, gaps and heights, and choose appropriate tools and accessories to deal with dust everywhere.

With the concept of efficient dust removal, the home environment can be healthier and happier.

End of movement

No matter how the times change, the development of science and technology should always take human needs as the core. Advanced for the sake of advanced, or imitating advanced for the sake of advanced, can only achieve short-term effects, and gradually drift away from the true meaning of science and technology. Only by adhering to the initial intention of "solving problems ignored by others" like Dyson can we continue to produce good products that lead to lifestyle changes and become real changers.
