Automatic rotating mop

Abstract

An automatic rotating mop includes a force applying rod and a rotating rod. The force applying rod includes an external tube and a holding element installed at an upper end of the external tube. The external tube includes a braking rod and a spiral track formed on the braking rod. The rotating rod includes an internal tube having an internal diameter smaller than the external tube for coupling the external tube, a rotating disc coupled to the internal tube, and a rotating element corresponding to the braking rod and coupled to the internal tube. When the external tube is moved vertically towards the rotating disc, the rotating element is winded along the spiral track to produce a rotation movement, and linked to the internal tube and the rotating disc to rotate jointly to remove water from the mop by a rotating force.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a rotating mop, and more particularly to an automatic rotating mop that removes water from a mop cloth by a rotating force.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In general, a user removes dirty stains on a floor by water in a cleaning operation by a mop. However, the user needs to squeeze water out of the mop cloth of the mop by hands before mopping the floor. Not only bending down to squeeze water from the mop is required, but also wetting the user's hand. Therefore, the conventional mops are inconvenient to use.[0003]In order to easily squeeze water from the mop without wetting the user's hands, a common rotating mop as disclosed in R.O.C. Pat. No. M354405 was introduced. The rotating mop comprises a main rod and a sliding handle sheathed onto the main rod, wherein the sliding handle can be moved vertically and rotated along the main rod, and a mop cloth is installed between the bottom of the sliding handle and the bottom of ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006]Therefore, it is a primary objective of the present invention to overcome the aforementioned shortcomings, and save forces and remove water from the mop quickly to improve the safety of using the mop.

[0008]In the aforementioned technical solution, it is necessary to apply a force at the external tube only, such that the external tube is moved with respect to the internal tube, and the internal tube drives the rotating disc to rotate, and such operation is simple and easy, and also safe.

Problems solved by technology

However, the user needs to squeeze water out of the mop cloth of the mop by hands before mopping the floor.

Not only bending down to squeeze water from the mop is required, but also wetting the user's hand.

Therefore, the conventional mops are inconvenient to use.

However, it is a laborious task for the user to rotate the mop, especially for housewives or the elderly who may not have sufficient strength to squeeze and dry the mop cloth.

As a result, the users may slip on the floor easily, particularly when the floor is wet.
