Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cleaning tools, and in particular to a flushing mechanism, a water squeezing device, a cleaning tool for a flat mop, and a method for using the cleaning tool. Background Art

[0002] Mop is a commonly used cleaning tool and is widely used in daily life. Currently, commonly used mops are usually divided into two types: flat mops and spin mops. Among them, spin mops are usually used in conjunction with a cleaning bucket. The cleaning bucket can use the centrifugal force to clean and dry the spin mop, avoiding hand washing. Compared with spin mops, flat mops have a larger cleaning area, more uniform force during use, and better cleaning effect, especially for cleaning under sofas, beds and other places, and are more widely used in daily life.

[0003] Due to structural reasons, flat mops are usually not convenient to clean by rotating, which makes it troublesome to clean and dehydrate flat mops. Traditional means usually adopt hand washing. With the development of technology, some cleaning devices suitable for flat mops are disclosed in the prior art, such as mop buckets, etc. For example, Chinese patent CN107456180A discloses a squeezing flat mop cleaning tool, which includes a barrel body for holding water, and a stroking mouth water squeezing mechanism (or called a stroking mouth squeezing mechanism) arranged at the upper end opening of the barrel body, the stroking mouth water squeezing mechanism is provided with a stroking mouth for squeezing water, and the stroking mouth is connected to the barrel body; when in use, the user inserts the flat mop into the barrel body through the stroking mouth to wet or clean the flat mop, and presses the flat mop against the stroking mouth water squeezing mechanism and lifts and presses the flat mop up and down at the same time to achieve cleaning and dehydration of the flat mop; but in actual use, this cleaning device is not convenient for rinsing the flat mop with clean water; to solve this problem, some cleaning devices provided with flushing mechanisms are disclosed in the prior art, such as Chinese patent CN A flat mop cleaning device disclosed in 110251014A has a flushing assembly arranged near the stroking opening, and the flushing assembly is provided with a clean water inlet and a plurality of water outlets facing the stroking opening. During use, clean water can be input from the clean water inlet and sprayed into the stroking opening through the water outlets, so as to use the clean water to rinse the flat mop placed in the stroking opening. However, the cleaning device provided with a flushing mechanism disclosed in the prior art can only use clean water to rinse the flat mop, which is usually used to wet the flat mop or rinse the flat mop, but it is not convenient to add detergent (or disinfectant) to the flat mop, especially it is not convenient to add detergent to the clean water and use the prepared water with detergent to wet and rinse the flat mop. In fact, in the prior art, the detergent can usually only be directly added into the barrel of the cleaning device, which is not only inconvenient to use, but also because the volume of the barrel is usually large, more detergent needs to be consumed, which will greatly increase the cost of use. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to improve the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a flushing mechanism with a simple and compact structure, complete functions and more convenient use. It can not only provide continuous clean water with a certain flushing pressure for the flat mop in the mop mouth to wet or rinse the flat mop, but also facilitate the user to conveniently add and mix detergents so as to directly apply the detergents to the flat mop.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] The first aspect of the present invention aims to solve the problem that the existing flushing mechanism can only provide clean water but is not convenient for adding and mixing cleaning agents. A flushing mechanism is provided, including a first container and a second container connected to the first container, the first container is provided with a water supply port and a plurality of water outlets, the second container is provided with an opening for adding cleaning agents and / or water, the second container is used to store water, and the stored water can be discharged into the first container under the action of its own gravity. The flushing mechanism can be arranged at the opening of the barrel in the cleaning tool, and the water outlets correspond to the openings respectively, so that the flushing mechanism has at least two usage methods, wherein the first usage method is: the water supply port is used to connect the water supply pipe. When in use, the clean water with a certain pressure transported from the water supply pipe first enters the first container. After the clean water is evenly distributed in the first container, it is sprayed out from each water outlet respectively, and can be directly sprayed on the flat mop placed in the opening, so as to wet or rinse the flat mop with clean water; the second usage method is: the user can conveniently add detergent to the second container through the opening, and the water in the second container can come from the water supply port or from the opening. The water added through the outlet allows the detergent and water to fully contact and mix evenly in the second container, and the water mixed with the detergent can be discharged into the first container under the action of its own gravity, and directly sprayed onto the flat-plate mop placed in the stroking mouth through the water outlet, so that the detergent can be conveniently and simply applied to the flat-plate mop, which is more conducive to the cleaning of the flat-plate mop. Compared with the existing flushing mechanism, the structure of the flushing mechanism is simpler, more compact, more functional, and more convenient to use. It can not only provide the flat-plate mop in the stroking mouth with continuous clean water with a certain flushing pressure so as to wet or rinse the flat-plate mop, but also facilitate the user to conveniently add and prepare detergents so as to directly apply the detergents to the flat-plate mop.

[0007] In order to allow the water stored in the second container to be discharged into the first container under the action of its own gravity, further, the second container is set at a height equal to or higher than the first container, so that there is a certain height difference between the second container and the first container, so that the water stored in the second container can enter the first container by itself under the action of the pressure difference, and be discharged through the water outlet of the first container, so as to directly act on the flat mop.

[0008] The second aspect of the present invention is to solve the problem that clean water automatically enters the second container through the first container and automatically mixes with the detergent evenly. Furthermore, the sum of the flow areas of each of the water outlets is smaller than the flow area of ​​the water supply port. With such a design, on the one hand, the water outlet pressure of the water outlet can be effectively increased, so that the water outlet pressure is higher than the water inlet pressure of the water supply port, which is more conducive to washing the flat-plate mop. On the other hand, since the sum of the flow areas of each water outlet is smaller than the flow area of ​​the water supply port, part of the clean water that enters the first container from the water supply port can be sprayed out through the water outlet under the action of pressure and directly act on the flat-plate mop, and the other part of the clean water can automatically enter the second container under the action of pressure, and the clean water that enters the second container can be stored in the second container, and since this part of the clean water also has There is a certain pressure, and under the action of pressure, the clean water can fully contact with the detergent added in the second container and automatically mix evenly without manual mixing. When the water supply port stops supplying water, the water mixed with the detergent in the second container can flow back into the first container under the action of the pressure difference, and spray out through the water outlet, so that it can be directly sprayed on the flat-plate mop placed in the stroking mouth (or connecting mouth). Not only can the detergent be conveniently applied to the flat-plate mop, but the whole process does not require manual intervention. It only needs to lift and press the flat-plate mop up and down, which is more convenient for users to clean the flat-plate mop.

[0009] The third aspect of the present invention is to solve the problem of effectively adjusting the working mode of the flushing mechanism. Furthermore, a switch for controlling on / off is provided on the communication path between the first container and the second container. When the flushing mechanism is actually used, the on / off of the first container and the second container can be conveniently controlled by the switch, so that the working mode of the flushing mechanism can be effectively adjusted. For example, when the switch is in the closed state, the first container and the second container are not connected. At this time, clean water can enter the first container through the water supply port and spray out through the water outlet to achieve the purpose of wetting and washing the flat mop; when the switch is in the open state, the first container and the second container are connected, part of the clean water can enter the first container through the water supply port and spray out through the water outlet, and another part of the clean water can enter the first container through the water supply port, and enter the second container through the first container and fully mix with the detergent in the second container, so that the flat mop can be washed multiple times with the water mixed with the detergent in the second container for multiple use.

[0010] Preferably, the first container is disposed inside the second container, or the first container is disposed outside the second container. That is, there are various positional relationships between the first container and the second container, which can be determined according to actual needs, and can be disposed inside or outside the second container.

[0011] In order to facilitate the connection of the water supply pipeline, the water supply port is further provided with a joint for connecting the water supply pipeline, so that the water supply port and the water supply pipeline can be detachably connected by using the joint, which is more convenient for users to use.

[0012] Preferably, the water outlet is a square hole, a round hole and / or a strip hole, which is convenient for processing and forming.

[0013] Preferably, the water outlets are arranged in an array on the first container, which is convenient for processing and shaping, and is also beneficial for cleaning the flat mop.

[0014] A water squeezing device comprises a water squeezing rack and a flushing mechanism. The water squeezing rack is provided with a connecting port for inserting a flat mop and squeezing water from the flat mop. The flushing mechanism is arranged on the water squeezing rack, and the water outlets are respectively oriented toward the inside of the connecting port.

[0015] The squeezing rack is provided with a first connection part for connecting to the barrel body. In this solution, the flushing mechanism is provided on or integrated with the squeezing rack, and the squeezing device can be detachably mounted on the barrel body of the cleaning tool through the first connection part, thereby forming a cleaning tool with a flushing mechanism. When in use, the flat mop can be vertically inserted into the barrel body through the connecting port, and can move up and down relative to the connecting port under the action of external force to achieve the purpose of flushing water. In this process, the flushing mechanism can wet and rinse the flat mop with clean water, and can also fully mix the detergent and water, and use the water mixed with the detergent to clean the flat mop.

[0016] Furthermore, a plurality of stroke plates are arranged on one side of the connecting port, and the water outlet is arranged on the side, and a plurality of rollers are arranged on one side of the connecting port corresponding to the stroke plates. The connecting port, the stroke plates arranged on one side of the connecting port, and the rollers arranged on the other side of the connecting port cooperate with each other to achieve the purpose of squeezing water for the flat mop; that is, after the flat mop is inserted into the connecting port, the rollers can squeeze the flat mop, so that the side of the flat mop where the wiping part is arranged can press the stroke plates, so as to achieve the purpose of squeezing water and cleaning in the process of driving the flat mop to move relative to the stroke plates, and in this process, the flushing mechanism can also spray water to the wiping part through the water outlet, which is conducive to a cleaner cleaning.

[0017] Preferably, the water squeezing rack is an integral structure with the first container and / or the second container.

[0018] A cleaning tool for a flat mop comprises a barrel body and a flushing mechanism, wherein the upper portion of the barrel body is provided with a connecting port for inserting a flat mop and squeezing water for the flat mop, the connecting port is connected to the barrel body, the flushing mechanism is arranged on the barrel body, and the water outlets are respectively directed toward the interior of the connecting port.

[0019] Preferably, the barrel body and the first container and / or the second container are an integral structure.

[0048] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 In this embodiment, a flushing mechanism is provided, comprising a first container 101 and a second container 102 connected to the first container 101, wherein the first container 101 is provided with a water supply port 103 and a plurality of water outlets 104, and the second container 102 is provided with an opening for adding detergent and / or water, and the second container 102 is used to store water, and the stored water can be discharged into the first container 101 under the action of its own gravity, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first container 101 and the second container 102 can be preferably made of plastic, polymer material and metal material, etc. The first container 101 is mainly used to evenly distribute the water so that the water can be discharged from each water outlet 104 more evenly, and the second container 102 is mainly used to contain detergent, water or water mixed with detergent. In this embodiment, there is no restriction on the shapes of the first container 101 and the second container 102, as long as they have a certain volume and can contain water. For the convenience of explanation, as an example, the first container 101 can preferably adopt a strip or arc structure to match the shape of the opening 202 (i.e., the connecting port described later, which will not be repeated later) of the barrel 301 in the cleaning tool 300, and the second container 102 can preferably adopt a square structure, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown, the opening may be preferably located at the top of the second container 102 .

[0051] The flushing mechanism 100 provided in this embodiment can be arranged at the opening 202 of the barrel 301 in the cleaning tool 300, and the water outlets 104 correspond to the openings 202 respectively. In actual use, the flushing mechanism 100 has at least two use methods. The first use method is: the water supply port 103 is used to connect a water supply pipeline, such as a tap water supply pipeline (the water supply pipeline is provided with a valve). When in use, the clean water with a certain pressure transported from the water supply pipeline first enters the first container 101. After the clean water is evenly distributed in the first container 101, it is sprayed out (or flows out, which will not be repeated later) from each water outlet 104, and can be directly sprayed on the flat mop placed in the opening 202, so as to wet or rinse the flat mop with clean water;

[0052] The second method of use is: the user can conveniently add detergent to the second container 102 through the opening, and the water in the second container 102 can come from the water supply port 103, and can also be water added from the opening, so that the detergent and water can fully contact and mix evenly in the second container 102, and the water mixed with the detergent can be discharged into the first container 101 under the action of its own gravity, and directly sprayed onto the flat mop placed in the mop opening 202 through the water outlet 104, so that the detergent can be applied to the flat mop conveniently and simply, which is more conducive to the cleaning of the flat mop.

[0053] Compared with the existing flushing mechanism 100, the structure of the flushing mechanism 100 is simpler, more compact, more fully functional, and more convenient to use. It can not only provide the flat-plate mop in the stroking mouth 202 with continuous clean water with a certain flushing pressure so as to wet or rinse the flat-plate mop, but also facilitate the user to conveniently add and mix detergents so as to directly apply the detergents to the flat-plate mop, thereby effectively solving the problem of the inconvenience of adding and mixing detergents in the prior art.

[0054] In order to allow the water stored in the second container 102 to be discharged into the first container 101 under the action of its own gravity, the concept of this embodiment is to use the height difference to generate a pressure difference, so as to use the pressure difference to drive the water in the second container 102 to automatically enter the first container 101 and spray out through the water outlet 104. Specifically, the setting height of the second container 102 is equal to or higher than the setting height of the first container 101. Figure 3 As shown; so that there is a certain height difference between the second container 102 and the first container 101, so that the water stored in the second container 102 can enter the first container 101 by itself under the action of the pressure difference, and be discharged through the water outlet 104 of the first container 101, so that the clean water or water mixed with detergent can be directly applied to the flat mop, which is convenient and helps to solve the problem of detergent and cleaning water.

[0055] In order to make the flushing mechanism 100 more convenient to use, the clean water from the water supply pipe can automatically enter the second container 102 through the first container 101, or automatically mix with the detergent in the second container 102 and store it in the second container 102, or directly store the clean water in the second container 102. The idea of ​​this embodiment is that the sum of the flow areas (i.e., cross-sectional areas, which will not be described in detail later) of the water outlets 104 is smaller than the flow area of ​​the water supply port 103, so that the water supply port 103 The water inlet flow rate is greater than the water outlet flow rate of the water outlet 104. With such a design, on the one hand, the water outlet pressure of the water outlet 104 can be effectively increased, so that the water outlet pressure at the water outlet 104 is higher than the water inlet pressure of the water supply port 103, which is more conducive to washing the flat mop under the action of a higher washing pressure; on the other hand, since the sum of the flow areas of the water outlets 104 is smaller than the flow area of ​​the water supply port 103, a part of the clean water entering the first container 101 from the water supply port 103 can be discharged through the water outlet under the action of the internal pressure. The clean water in the second container 102 can be stored in the second container 102 for subsequent use. In addition, since this part of the clean water also has a certain pressure, the clean water can fully contact with the detergent added to the second container 102 under the action of pressure and automatically mix evenly without manual mixing. When the water supply port 103 stops supplying water, the clean water or water mixed with detergent stored in the second container 102 can flow back into the first container 101 under the action of the pressure difference and be sprayed out through the water outlet 104, so that it can be directly sprayed on the flat mop placed in the stroking port 202. Not only can the detergent be conveniently applied to the flat mop, but the whole process does not require manual intervention. The user only needs to lift and press the flat mop up and down to clean the flat mop, which is conducive to the user to complete the cleaning work of the flat mop more conveniently.

[0056] It can be understood that there are various connection relationships between the first container 101 and the second container 102. As a concept, the first container 101 can be arranged inside the second container 102, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown; as another concept, the first container 101 can be arranged outside the second container 102, such as the first container 101 and the second container 102 can be arranged side by side, the first container 101 and the second container 102 can also be unconnected, and the first container 101 and the second container 102 can be connected through a pipe; as another example, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the first container 101 is arranged at the lower part of the second container 102, and the upper part of the first container 101 is connected to the second container 102, and the first container 101 and the second container 102 are connected to each other through a through hole opened between the first container 101 and the second container 102. A detachable bottom cover plate is arranged at the lower part of the first container 101, and a sealing gasket for sealing is arranged between the bottom cover plate and the first container 101. The water supply port can be arranged on the side of the first container 101, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, it can also be arranged in the second container 102 and extend vertically upward to connect to the water supply pipeline, such as Figure 5 As shown, the water supply pipe can be connected by a clamp.

[0057] In order to facilitate the arrangement of the flushing mechanism 100 on the barrel body 301 of the cleaning tool 300 to facilitate the assembly of the cleaning tool 300, in a further scheme, the first container 101 and / or the second container 102 is provided with a first connecting portion that is detachably connected to the barrel body 301 in the cleaning tool 300, and the barrel body 301 in the cleaning tool 300 can be provided with a second connecting portion that is compatible with the first connecting portion, so that the flushing mechanism 100 can be fixed to the barrel body 301 through the cooperation of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion.

[0058] To facilitate connection to the water supply pipeline, in a further embodiment, the water supply port 103 is further provided with a connector 105 for connecting to the water supply pipeline. Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown, the joint 105 can be a commonly used joint 105 in the prior art, such as a flange joint 105, an internal thread or an external thread, etc.; so that the joint 105 can be used to realize a detachable connection between the water supply port 103 and the water supply pipe, which is more convenient for users to use; the water supply port 103 can be set on the upper part of the first container 101, and can also be set on the side of the first container 101, so as to connect the water supply pipe, which will not be repeated here.

[0059] The water outlet 104 has a variety of forms. Preferably, the water outlet 104 can be preferably a square hole, a round hole and / or a strip hole, etc., which is convenient for processing and forming. The arrangement of each water outlet 104 can be determined according to actual needs. Preferably, each water outlet 104 can be arranged in an array on the first container 101; it is convenient for processing and forming, and is conducive to cleaning the flat mop. Preferably, Figure 1 As shown, the water outlets 104 are arranged in a row so as to be horizontally disposed on one side of the stroking opening 202 so as to wet, rinse and / or clean the flat mop along the width direction of the flat mop.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] In order to effectively adjust the working mode of the flushing mechanism 100 provided in the first embodiment, the main difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that, in the flushing mechanism 100 provided in the present embodiment, a switch 107 for controlling on / off is provided on the communication path between the first container 101 and the second container 102. The switch 107 can be a switch 107 commonly used in the prior art, such as a valve, a plug, a cover 304, etc., so that when the flushing mechanism 100 is actually used, the user can conveniently control the on / off of the first container 101 and the second container 102 through the switch 107, thereby effectively adjusting the working mode of the flushing mechanism 100, such as Figure 6 or Figure 7 As shown, as an example, the first container 101 and the second container 102 can be connected through the connecting pipe 106, and the switch 107 is set on the connecting pipe 106; when the switch 107 is in the closed state, the first container 101 and the second container 102 are not connected. At this time, clean water can enter the first container 101 through the water supply port 103 and spray out through the water outlet 104, which can effectively increase the water outlet pressure, thereby achieving the purpose of wetting and washing the flat mop; when the switch 107 is in the open state, the first container 101 is connected to the second container 102;

[0062] If the valve of the water supply pipe is in an open state, the clean water in the water supply pipe can enter the first container 101 through the water supply port 103. At this time, part of the clean water can be sprayed out through the water outlet 104, and the other part of the clean water can enter the first container 101 through the water supply port 103, and enter the second container 102 through the first container 101, so as to be stored in the second container 102, or be fully mixed with the detergent in the second container 102 and stored in the second container 102, so that the water mixed with the detergent in the second container 102 can be used to wash the flat mop multiple times by controlling the on / off of the switch 107, so as to be used multiple times;

[0063] If the valve of the water supply pipe is in a closed state, water and / or detergent can be manually added to the second container 102 to make rational use of waste water. For example, the water after washing vegetables can be used to wash a flat mop to achieve secondary utilization of waste water. When the flat mop needs to be washed, only the switch 107 needs to be turned on. No further details will be given here.

[0064] For ease of use, when using Figure 4 or Figure 5 In the flushing mechanism 100 shown, the handle of the switch 107 can be preferably set above the liquid level in the second container.
