DoNews April 14 news (Liu Wenxuan) On April 13, Dyson floor cleaning solution ushered in a full line of upgrades, including a traceless soft hair dust removal brush, ultra-narrow gap corner tips including a set of fine cleaning accessories, and for the series of standard anti-winding spiral tips; V12 upgraded to HEPA filtration system; some ground tips equipped with anti-entanglement design; V15 upgraded to embedded body design, longer and larger dust cylinders. In this upgrade, Dyson is committed to providing more refined and all-round deep cleaning solutions with innovation and breakthroughs in subtleties for the "details" in the home environment.
Archie Henderson, head of Dyson's R&D team in Shanghai, also recently shared and interpreted the details of this product upgrade and Dyson's in-depth research on dust, allowing us to further understand Dyson's redefinition of the deep cleaning dimension of the home with fine cleaning.
Immerse yourself in thirty years and overcome the barriers of deep cleaning with details
Dyson's recently released "Global Dust Research Report" shows that although Chinese households have a high awareness of dust and the health risks it may bring, chinese respondents still have cognitive blind spots and misunderstandings in the key areas of indoor cleaning. Many times, people ignore the dust hidden in the corner, and the soft decoration of the home such as mattresses and sofas has also become a cleaning blind spot. In addition, including pet hair and dander, it has also become a problem for many families in home cleaning.
In this regard, Archie Henderson said in an interview, "In Dyson's view, the scope of use of vacuum cleaners should not be limited to floors, carpets and other surfaces, with the help of suitable tips, in fact, we can clean all indoor areas including mattresses, soft decorations, bookshelves, etc., to keep the indoor environment clean." ”
This has to mention Dyson's new non-marking soft hair dust removal brush, which is aimed at relatively fragile fine surface cleaning such as TV screens. 8,100 PBT bristles with tips as thin as 0.05 mm, densely arranged through a precise design, provide scratch-free protection for delicate surfaces.
According to Archie Henderson, the choice of bristle material has a great influence on the functional design of the bristles themselves. Dyson engineers drew inspiration from items ranging from makeup brushes to ostrich feathers and referenced ostrich feathers to test whether such fibers were effective in achieving scratch-free cleaning. The final, non-marking soft-bristle dust brush uses ultra-fine polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) polymer fiber bristles, which are made of the same material as brushes and paint brushes. And this material and fineness, coupled with the segmented arrangement, is enough to ensure that it can effectively protect the surface of some valuables and fine objects, and achieve a good dust removal effect.
The newly launched ultra-narrow gap corner tips also show the insight and ingenuity of Dyson engineers in the design. This ultra-narrow gap corner tip can be rotated 22 degrees to penetrate deeper into narrow, hard-to-reach crevices.
Archie Henderson said that he will also encounter this kind of frustration in home cleaning, "When we clean the gap between the cabinet and the wall, often the vacuum cleaner body will be stuck and can't get in, at this time, we either abandon it, or we may need to move some large objects, which are more troublesome." ”
With a width of only 12.5 mm and a length of 254 mm, the new ultra-narrow gap corner tips are effective in cleaning narrow crevices. In addition, Dyson engineers also installed a sliding brush strip for the tip, when the user slides down the brush strip, the hard nylon bristles on the brush bar can help the user clean up stubborn dirt and grime when needed.
In addition to the fine cleaning accessory kit, Dyson has also upgraded the anti-entanglement technology that is specially upgraded for long-haired users and pet families. Dyson has already launched anti-winding high-torque tips when it launched the V15 last year, and this upgrade will equip more floor cleaning products with anti-winding technology, including the V11 and V12 equipped with anti-winding direct drive tips. Both anti-winding ground tips are equipped with a comb composed of polycarbonate teeth on the inside, which can achieve automatic anti-entanglement by "combing" the hair on the brush strip and throwing it into the dust cylinder in an orderly manner.
In addition, Dyson will also equip a number of products with anti-winding spiral tips, this inspiration from the Archimedes spiral pump tip, built-in tapered brush strips and specific angles of bristles, can be inhaled in a spiral, while the hair will be thrown into the dust collection tube under the action of Dyson's strong suction, avoiding hair tangles on the tip brush strip, which can help more users efficiently remove hair on the surface of the mattress, sofa and other household surfaces and deep dust mites.
Archie Henderson tells us that behind these seemingly ingenious changes is Dyson's continuous design experiments and R&D tests, and so far, Dyson has done 284 simulation tests, with a total running time of 1900 hours, equivalent to nearly 80 days of continuous testing.
On the vacuum cleaner body, Dyson adopts an advanced sealing and filtration system to ensure that the air discharged from the tail of the vacuum cleaner is always clean during the working process, and will not cause secondary pollution during the cleaning process. It is worth mentioning that the Dyson V15 is equipped with a fully sealed HEPA filtration system, which can adsorb and lock 99.97% of invisible particles as small as 0.1 microns. In this comprehensive upgrade, Dyson V12 will also be upgraded with a whole machine seal HEPA filtration system to bring more users a safe cleaning experience.
For the upgrade of the V15, Archie Henderson introduced that Dyson upgraded the V15 to an embedded fuselage design, especially for large apartment users to provide embedded gap soft hair tips, saving the time of switching between ground vacuuming and handheld mode, making the cleaning process more convenient and efficient. In addition, some models of the V15 will also be equipped with a larger dust cartridge to reduce the frequency of dust dumping, and an additional battery that can provide up to 2 hours of battery life, better meeting the needs of large household users for one-time cleaning.
Based on the needs of users, we continue to explore innovative cleaning solutions
In order to be able to capture indoor dust more scientifically and efficiently, Dyson has invested a lot of effort in dust research. According to the official introduction, so far, Dyson's research investment in dust microorganisms has exceeded 1 billion US dollars. For the cleaning of the home environment, Dyson continues to understand the real needs and pain points of users through continuous in-depth research. Whether it is the cleaning blind spots in the subtleties of the home or the invisible dust to the naked eye, or the increasingly diverse cleaning difficulties, Dyson takes the real dilemma of users in home cleaning as the starting point for innovation and breakthrough. Through the comprehensive upgrade of this product line, we can better help everyone to achieve deep cleaning efficiently and easily, especially from the multiple dimensions of cleaning the floor, furniture and even the whole house environment, to provide you with a fine, all-round and reassuring deep cleaning experience.
"Solving problems that others are easy to ignore" has always been the original intention of Dyson, Dyson has always been based on scientific research and consumers' real-life cleaning needs, constantly trying, researching and developing and optimizing, and escorting consumers' home health with subtle innovations and breakthroughs. When asked about the future direction of research and development, Archie Henderson said that regardless of the future direction of research and development, the original intention of Dyson's research and development will not change - Dyson will always maintain close communication with existing users, find their unmet needs and difficulties in real-life scenes and cleaning, and develop and break through on this basis, which is dyson's purpose that will never change.
