Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cleaning tools, and in particular relates to a rotary mop and a matching mop bucket. Background Art

[0002] In order to facilitate floor cleaning, people have designed mops. The floor is cleaned by scrubbing it with a clean, wet mop, and then mopped dry with a brushed, dry mop. The used mop often needs to be cleaned with water. To make mop cleaning more convenient, the prior art has invented a mop bucket. The mop bucket can not only clean the mop, but also has a dehydration basket inside the mop bucket to dehydrate the cleaned mop head. When cleaning with a mop of this structure, the lower part of the mop contacts the upwardly protruding support protrusion at the bottom of the mop bucket, and the mop head drives the wiping material to rotate relative to the support protrusion for cleaning. In this method, because the mop head contacts the support protrusion, not only is there a large water resistance when the mop rotates, but there is also resistance between the mop head and the support protrusion, making it difficult for the user to operate. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a rotary mop and a matching mop bucket which are compact in structure, can reduce rotational resistance, and are easy to use.

[0004] The object of the present invention is achieved like this:

[0005] A rotary mop and a matching mop bucket. The mop includes a mop rod and a mop head. The mop rod includes at least an inner rod and an outer rod. The inner rod and the outer rod are rotatable with respect to each other and can be shortened or lengthened by being sleeved together. The mop head is provided at the end of the mop rod. The mop also includes a support seat. The mop bucket is provided with a support step. A clutch device is provided between the support seat and the mop head. When in use, the support seat is placed on the support step. The clutch device separates the support seat from the mop head, and then the mop rod is pressed downward, so that the mop head rotates unidirectionally relative to the support seat.

[0006] After adopting the above structure, the mop head is freed from direct contact by the abutment between the support base and the support step, thereby reducing friction when the mop head rotates. The clutch device can make the support base move together with the mop head when mopping the floor, and the support base will not rotate relative to the mop head during the mopping process, thereby reducing the interference of the support base on surrounding objects when mopping the floor. When the mop bucket needs to be rotated, the clutch device contacts the support step to open the clutch device, so that the support base and the mop head are separated, so that the mop head can rotate independently, which is convenient for cleaning and dehydration.

[0007] The present invention is further configured as follows: the clutch device includes a locking assembly and an opening component that controls the opening between the locking assembly, the support base, and the mop head; when the support base is placed on the support step, the mop rod is pressed down, the opening component abuts against the support step, and the opening component controls the locking assembly to disengage from the mop head. After disengagement, the mop head can rotate unidirectionally relative to the support base.

[0008] After adopting the above structure, the locking assembly and the mop head are opened by abutting the opening component against the supporting step, and the structure is simple and convenient.

[0009] The present invention is further configured as follows: the locking assembly includes a locking block whose opening and closing are controlled by an opening component, and a locking groove is arranged on the mop head. In the locked state, the locking block is located in the locking groove to limit the radial rotation of the mop head. In the opened state, the opening component moves the locking block out of the locking groove and the mop head rotates.

[0010] After adopting the above structure, the locking assembly can lock the mop head and the support base through the cooperation of the locking block and the locking groove so that the two become one, making it difficult for the mop head to separate from the support base when mopping the floor. At the same time, it is also convenient for the opening component to control the separation of the locking block and the locking groove, making operation convenient.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: a return spring is provided on the opening component to ensure that the locking block is always in contact with the locking groove.

[0012] After adopting the above structure, the reset spring makes the locking block always abut against the locking groove, and it is not easy for the mop head to separate from the support seat when mopping the floor.

[0013] The present invention is further configured as follows: a plurality of locking grooves are provided on the circumference of the mop head.

[0014] After adopting the above structure, a plurality of locking grooves are arranged circumferentially so that the mop head and the locking block can be locked when they are in different positions. In this way, there is no need for marking to lock, which is convenient for users to operate.

[0015] The present invention is further configured as follows: an inclined surface is provided at one end of the opening component, and an abutting block abutting the inclined surface is provided on the supporting step. After the inclined surface abuts the abutting block, the abutting block moves the opening component backward along the inclined surface, and the opening component drives the locking block to separate from the locking groove, and the mop head rotates.

[0016] After adopting the above structure, the push-open separation effect is achieved by directly cooperating between the abutting block and the inclined surface on the opening portion. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient for the user.

[0017] The present invention is further configured as follows: the mop rod and the mop head are hinged via a connecting shaft, and the support seat is arranged on or below the connecting shaft.

[0018] After adopting the above structure, at the same time, a support base is arranged on the connection point between the mop rod and the mop head or below the connection point, which shortens the distance between the mop head and the support base, facilitates lowering the center of gravity of the mop head when rotating inside the mop head, reduces the shaking of the mop rod when the mop head rotates, and improves the stability of the mop head when rotating; at the same time, arranging the support base below the connection point can reduce the interference of the support base on the mop rod when the mop is used for mopping the floor, and avoids the support base moving with the mop rod to cause scratches or bumps on furniture. In this way, arranging the support base in a low position can also achieve a good hiding effect, so that the user will not be affected by the support base when mopping the floor.

[0019] The present invention is further configured as follows: the mop head comprises a mop tray hinged to the mop rod, and the mop tray is provided with a support seat which can rotate relative to the mop tray.

[0020] After adopting the above structure, by rotatably connecting the support base and the mop plate, the height of the mop plate during rotation is reduced, making the rotation more stable. At the same time, the support base and the mop plate are better combined, the concealing effect is good, and the structure is more compact.

[0021] The present invention is further configured as follows: the mop also includes a connecting seat, one end of the connecting seat is hinged to the mop rod, the other end of the connecting seat is connected to the mop head, and a supporting seat that can rotate relative to the connecting seat is provided on the connecting seat.

[0022] After adopting the above structure, by rotatably connecting the support base and the connecting base, installation is made more convenient, and the height of the mop plate during rotation is reduced, making the rotation more stable. At the same time, the support base and the mop plate are better combined, the concealing effect is good, and the structure is more compact.

[0023] The present invention is further configured as follows: the support seat is configured as a shell to form a support cover, the support cover is configured to cover the outer periphery of the mop head, and a support portion extending outward is configured on the circumference of the support cover.

[0024] After adopting the above structure, the support seat is set as the support cover of the shell, and the mop head cover is set to hide the mop head in the support cover, which increases the concealment of the mop head. At the same time, the support part on the support cover is used in conjunction with the support step to facilitate the support and rotation of the mop head. The support part is set around the support cover to simplify the structure and reduce the interference and influence of the support part on external objects when in use.

When in use, the supporting seat 3 is placed on the supporting step, and the clutch device separates the supporting seat 3 from the mop head. Then, the mop rod is pressed down, and the mop head rotates unidirectionally relative to the supporting seat 3. The mop head is freed from direct contact by the abutment between the supporting seat 3 and the supporting step, so that the friction force is reduced when the mop head rotates. At the same time, When the mop bucket 2 needs to be rotated, the clutch device contacts the support step to open the clutch device, so that the support seat 3 and the mop head are separated, so that the mop head can be rotated independently, which is convenient for cleaning and dehydration.

[0041] The inner wall of the mop bucket 2 described in this embodiment is provided with a suspension bracket 6, and the support step is provided on the suspension bracket 6. The suspension bracket 6 and the mop bucket 2 are separately provided or integrally provided. The provision of the suspension bracket 6 makes the product more practical and convenient.
