Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Mops are the most frequently used cleaning tools in people's daily lives. Currently, the most widely used is a flat mop. There are three ways to dehydrate a flat mop. The first is foot-operated squeezing dehydration, which is relatively cumbersome to operate. The second is centrifugal rotary dehydration, which is relatively complex in structure and requires coordination with a hand-operated rotary mop rod, resulting in high costs. The third is hand-push squeezing dehydration, which is very laborious and difficult to operate. In the prior art, a wiper-type flat mop has been developed, which allows for convenient squeezing and cleaning anytime, anywhere. However, a disadvantage of this wiper-type flat mop is that the cleaning and squeezing of the mop bucket must be completed in two separate buckets, making the operation relatively complicated. Summary of the Invention

[0003] (1) Technical issues to be solved

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a mop bucket, which can guide the water in the water storage area to the mop head through a water guide member, and scrape the water on the mop head back to the water storage area, ensuring that the mop can be cleaned and squeezed dry in the water storage area. At the same time, the cleaning and squeezing area is dry without water accumulation, which is more hygienic.

[0005] (2) Technical solution

[0006] The solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is a mop bucket for cleaning and squeezing a mop. The mop includes a mop head and a mop handle. When the mop head is rotated to be parallel to the mop handle, it can be placed in the mop bucket for cleaning and squeezing. The mop bucket includes a water storage area and a cleaning and squeezing area; a water guide and a wiper are provided at the upper end of the mop bucket; after the mop head enters the cleaning and squeezing area, the water guide guides the water in the water storage area to the mop head, and the wiper scrapes the water on the mop head and returns it to the water storage area along the wiper.

[0007] Preferably, the water guide is a propeller structure, which can continuously guide the water in the water storage area to the mop head placed in the cleaning and squeezing area when in operation.

[0008] Preferably, the wiper is arranged at an angle and is arranged to be inclined from top to bottom from the cleaning and squeezing area toward the water storage area, so as to facilitate the squeezed water to flow back to the water storage area.

[0009] Specifically, the mop enters the cleaning and squeezing area from top to bottom, and the water guide starts to work, draining the water in the water storage area to the mop head to moisten it. At the same time, the wiper works to scrape off the water on the mop head, and the squeezed water flows back to the water storage area along the wiper, completing the cleaning and squeezing of the mop head.

[0010] By adopting the above scheme, the water in the water storage area can be guided to the mop head through the water guide member, and the water on the mop head can be scraped out and returned to the water storage area, ensuring that the mop can be cleaned and squeezed in the water storage area. At the same time, the cleaning and squeezing area is dry without water accumulation, which is more hygienic.

[0011] Furthermore, the mop bucket also includes a fixing frame arranged at the upper end of the mop bucket, the fixing frame is provided with a socket for inserting the mop, a first water baffle is connected to the socket, and the first water baffle cooperates with the cleaning and squeezing area to form a channel connected to the water storage area.

[0012] Preferably, a water baffle is provided in the mop bucket, and the water baffle separates the mop bucket into the water storage area and the cleaning and squeezing area.

[0013] Specifically, the water baffle is formed by extending upward from the bottom surface of the mop bucket, and the height of the water baffle is lower than the height of the mop bucket; the fixing frame is provided with a card slot, and the card slot is matched and fixed with the water baffle.

[0014] Preferably, the mop bucket includes an outer bucket and an inner bucket detachably mounted in the outer bucket. After the inner bucket is placed in the outer bucket, the remaining space of the outer bucket forms the water storage area. The inner bucket and the fixing frame match to form the above-mentioned cleaning and squeezing area.

[0015] Preferably, a second water baffle is provided in the fixing frame, and the second water baffle is provided above the water guide member, which can further prevent water in the water storage area from splashing when the water guide member is in operation.

[0016] Specifically, the fixing frame is arranged at the open end of the outer barrel, and the fixing frame is engaged with the open end of the outer barrel and cooperates with the outer barrel to form a water filling port.

[0017] Specifically, the channel is formed between the lower end of the first water baffle and the open end of the inner barrel.

[0018] With the above solution, the first water baffle can shield water droplets from splashing out of the water storage area when the water guide is in operation, thereby preventing the water droplets from splashing onto the user or causing the bottom surface around the mop bucket to become slippery.

[0019] Furthermore, the fixing frame extends downward to form a fixing plate, and the fixing plate includes a first fixing portion matching the cleaning and squeezing area, and a second fixing portion cooperating with the cleaning and squeezing area to form the channel.

[0020] Specifically, a card slot is provided at the connection between the first fixing part and the second fixing part, and the fixing frame is engaged with the side wall of the inner barrel through the card slot. After engagement, the first fixing part is accommodated in the cavity of the inner barrel, and correspondingly, the inner wall of the inner barrel extends inward to form a fixing platform for abutting against the first fixing part; the first fixing part and the second fixing part enclose the side wall of the fixing frame.

[0021] More specifically, the inner wall of the first fixing portion is provided with ribs to facilitate the stability of the mop when inserted into the cleaning and squeezing area without deviation.

[0022] Preferably, the depth of the second fixing portion is greater than that of the first fixing portion, so as to facilitate fixing of the water guide element and the wiper element.

[0023] By adopting the above solution, after the first fixing part is matched with the inner barrel, it can be ensured that the water in the water storage area flows only through the channel, further ensuring the dryness of the inner barrel; the setting of the second fixing part can prevent the water in the water storage area from splashing into the inner barrel from above the inner barrel.

[0024] Furthermore, the wiper is connected to the fixing frame, and the wiper end of the wiper is arranged close to the cleaning and squeezing area; the water guide is rotatably connected to the fixing frame, and the water guide is arranged close to the end of the wiper away from the cleaning and squeezing area.

[0025] Preferably, the wiper member is movably connected to the second fixed portion, and a torsion spring is provided on the rotating shaft of the wiper member, which can ensure that the wiper member can return to its initial position, facilitating subsequent wiping of the mop head; the end of the wiper member close to the inner barrel is tilted from bottom to top to form a wiper end.

[0026] Furthermore, the mop bucket also includes a control device for driving and controlling the operation and stop of the water guide member.

[0027] Specifically, when the control device controls the water guide member to operate, the mop is cleaned; when the control device controls the water guide member to stop, the mop is squeezed dry.

[0028] Furthermore, the control device includes a driving gear, a gear set connected to the driving gear, and a driving member for controlling the operation and stop of the gear set.

[0029] Preferably, the driving gear is rotatably connected to the fixing frame.

[0030] Furthermore, the gear set includes a first gear connected to the driving gear, a second gear meshing with the first gear, and a third gear meshing with the second gear, wherein the third gear is connected to the water guide; an end of the first gear away from the driving gear is connected to a reset member, and the other end of the reset member has a first fixing member; the driving member includes a first driving member that controls the operation and stop of the first gear;

[0031] When the first driving member moves close to the first gear, it can push the first gear to move in a direction away from the driving gear until the first gear is disengaged from the driving gear. When the first driving member moves in a direction away from the first gear, the reset member provides a reset force to connect the first gear to the driving gear.

[0032] Preferably, the first driving member includes a driving portion for driving the first gear and an operating portion.

[0033] Preferably, the first fixing member covers the outside of the gear set and is fixed on the outer wall of the fixing frame.

[0034] Preferably, the first driving member is slidably arranged on the upper end of the first fixing member. Correspondingly, the upper end of the first fixing member is provided with a sliding groove for the first driving member to slide. At the same time, the first driving member is exposed at the top of the fixing frame, and the top of the fixing frame is provided with a limit opening for restricting the first driving member.

[0035] Preferably, the reset member comprises a compression spring.

[0036] Specifically, when the side wall of the operating part of the first driving member is pushed to abut against the end close to the first gear, the first gear is squeezed by the driving part of the first driving member, so that the first gear is disengaged from the driving gear, and the water guide member stops running and performs the mop squeezing work. At this time, the reset member provided on the first gear is compressed to store elastic potential energy; when the side wall of the operating part of the first driving member is pushed to abut against the end away from the first gear, the driving part of the first driving member is disengaged from the first gear, and the reset member releases the elastic potential energy, so that the first gear is meshed with the driving gear, and the water guide member starts running and performs the mop cleaning work.

[0037] Furthermore, the gear set includes a fourth gear meshed with the driving gear, a one-way gear meshed with the fourth gear, and a fifth gear meshed with the one-way gear, and the fifth gear is connected to the water guide member; the one-way gear has a one-way gear rotating shaft, and the one-way gear rotating shaft is provided with a toggle tooth, and the toggle tooth is meshed with a sixth gear, and the driving member includes a second driving member for controlling the stop and restart of the sixth gear.

[0038] Preferably, the outside of the gear set is covered with a second fixing part, the second fixing part is fixed to the outer wall of the fixing frame, and the inner wall of the second fixing part is provided with a toothed area matching the one-way gear to ensure the one-way operation of the one-way gear. When the mop moves upward, it will not reverse and the water guide wheel will not be driven.

[0039] Preferably, a shifting tooth is provided on the rotating shaft of the one-way gear. When the one-way gear rotates one end, the shifting tooth shifts the sixth gear once, causing it to rotate a distance of one tooth.

[0040] Preferably, the sixth gear is provided with 21 teeth, and the one-way gear rotates 21 times, and the sixth gear rotates exactly one circle.

[0041] Preferably, the mop is inserted into the inner barrel from top to bottom until it is fully inserted, which can drive the driving gear to rotate 7 circles, then the one-way gear rotates 7 circles, and the sixth gear is rotated by a distance of 7 teeth. Thus, the mop performs 3 insertion movements, and the sixth gear rotates exactly one circle.

[0042] Furthermore, the second driving member has a stopping portion for controlling the sixth gear to stop, and correspondingly, the sixth gear has an abutting portion matching the stopping portion;

[0043] The sixth gear rotates until the abutting portion contacts the stopping portion, and the sixth gear stops running; the second driving member is operated to disengage the stopping portion from the abutting portion, and the sixth gear resumes running.

[0044] Preferably, an elastic member that provides the second driving member with elastic potential energy is provided inside the second driving member, and the second driving member has a limit platform that limits the second driving member from separating from the fixed frame, and the inner wall of the fixed frame extends downward to form an L-shaped limit member, and the elastic member is placed between the second driving member and the limit member, which can ensure that the second driving member is installed on the driving frame. When the second driving member is pressed, the elastic member is squeezed to reserve elastic potential energy, and when the pressing stops, the elastic potential energy of the elastic member returns the second driving member to its initial position.

[0045] Preferably, the limiting member is provided at the top end of the sixth gear and does not limit the rotation of the sixth gear.

[0046] Preferably, the stopping portion is formed at one end of the sixth gear close to the fixing frame, and when the second driving member is in the initial position, the stopping portion of the sixth gear will contact the abutting portion, and subject to the restriction, the sixth gear will stop rotating; at the same time, the second driving member is provided with a pushing portion, and when the second driving member is pressed, the abutting portion moves downward, the stopping portion disengages from the abutting portion, and the pushing portion pushes the teeth of the sixth gear to rotate, and at the same time drives the stopping portion to rotate, then the pressing of the second driving member is stopped, and when the second driving member returns to the initial position, the stopping portion will not contact the abutting portion, and the sixth gear can be driven to rotate by the one-way gear.

[0047] Specifically, when the second driving member is pressed, the abutting portion of the second driving member moves downward, the pushing portion pushes the sixth gear to rotate, and the second stopping portion rotates and disengages from the abutting portion, then the sixth gear can be driven by the one-way gear, and the water guide member operates normally to perform the mop cleaning work. At this time, the elastic member is squeezed to reserve elastic potential energy; when the pressing of the second driving member is stopped, the elastic potential energy of the elastic member returns the second driving member to its initial position. After the sixth gear rotates one circle, the stopping portion is restricted by the abutting portion and stops running, then the water guide member stops running, and the mop is squeezed and dried.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0070] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0071] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0072] Example 1:

[0073] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, a mop bucket of this embodiment is used for cleaning and squeezing a mop 2. The mop 2 includes a mop head and a mop handle. When the mop head is rotated to be parallel to the mop handle, it can be placed in the mop bucket 1 for cleaning and squeezing. The mop bucket 1 includes a water storage area 111 and a cleaning and squeezing area 121. A water guide 13 and a wiper 14 are provided at the upper end of the mop bucket 1. After the mop head enters the cleaning and squeezing area 121, the water guide 13 guides the water in the water storage area 111 to the mop head, and the wiper 14 scrapes the water on the mop head and returns it to the water storage area 111 along the wiper. Preferably, the mop bucket 1 includes an outer bucket 11 and an inner bucket 12 detachably mounted within the outer bucket 11. After the inner bucket 12 is placed within the outer bucket 11, the remaining space within the outer bucket 11 forms the water storage area 111. The inner bucket 12 and the fixing bracket 15 mounted at the upper end of the mop bucket 1 match to form the aforementioned cleaning and squeezing area 121. Preferably, the water guide 13 is a propeller structure, which, during operation, can continuously divert water within the water storage area 111 to the mop head placed within the cleaning and squeezing area 121. The wiper 14 is arranged at an angle and is arranged from top to bottom from the inner bucket 12 toward the water storage area 111, so as to facilitate the return of squeezed water to the water storage area 111. Specifically, the mop 2 enters the cleaning and squeezing area 121 from top to bottom, and the water guide 13 begins to operate, directing the water in the water storage area 111 to the mop head, moistening it. Simultaneously, the wiper 14 operates to scrape off the water on the mop head, and the squeezed-out water flows back to the water storage area 111 along the wiper 14, completing the cleaning and squeezing of the mop head. With this solution, the water in the water storage area 111 can be directed to the mop head via the water guide 13, and then scraped off and returned to the water storage area 111, ensuring that the mop 2 can be cleaned and squeezed in the water storage area 111. At the same time, the cleaning and squeezing area 121 is dry and free of water accumulation, providing a more hygienic feel.

[0074] like Figure 4-Figure 5As shown, the mop bucket 1 also includes a fixing bracket 15 disposed at the upper end of the mop bucket 1. The fixing bracket 15 is used to secure the outer bucket 11 and the inner bucket 12. The fixing bracket 15 has a socket 151 for inserting the mop 2. A first water baffle 152 is connected to the socket 151. The first water baffle 152 cooperates with the inner bucket 12 to form a channel 16 that communicates with the water storage area 111. Specifically, the fixing bracket 15 is disposed at the open end of the outer bucket 11 and engages with the open end of the outer bucket 11, forming a water inlet 112. The channel 16 is formed between the lower end of the first water baffle 152 and the open end of the inner bucket 12. The provision of the first water baffle 152 can block water droplets from splashing out of the water storage area 111 when the water guide 13 is in operation, preventing water droplets from splashing onto the user or causing the bottom surface of the mop bucket 1 to become slippery. Preferably, a second water baffle 156 is provided in the fixing frame 15 , and the second water baffle 156 is provided above the water guide 13 , which can further prevent water in the water storage area 111 from splashing when the water guide 13 is in operation.

[0075] like Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the fixing frame 15 extends downward to form a fixing plate 153, and the fixing plate 153 includes a first fixing portion 153-1 that matches the cleaning and squeezing area 121, and a second fixing portion 153-2 that cooperates with the cleaning and squeezing area 121 to form the channel 16. Specifically, a slot 153-3 is provided at the connection between the first fixing portion 153-1 and the second fixing portion 153-2. The fixing frame 15 engages with the side wall of the inner tub 12 through the slot 153-3. After engagement, the first fixing portion 153-1 is accommodated in the cavity of the inner tub 12. Correspondingly, the inner wall of the inner tub 12 extends inward to form a fixing platform 122 for abutting against the first fixing portion 153-1. The first fixing portion 153-1 and the second fixing portion 153-2 enclose the side wall of the fixing frame 15. More specifically, the inner wall of the first fixing portion 153-1 is provided with a rib 153-11, which facilitates the stable insertion of the mop 2 into the washing and wringing area 121 and prevents it from shifting. Preferably, the depth of the second fixing portion 153-2 is greater than that of the first fixing portion 153-1, facilitating the securing of the water guide 13 and the wiper 14. When the first fixing portion 153-1 is mated with the inner tub 12, it ensures that water in the water storage area 111 flows only through the channel 16, further ensuring that the inner tub 12 remains dry. The provision of the second fixing portion 153-2 prevents water in the water storage area 111 from splashing into the inner tub 12 from above.

[0076] like Figure 4As shown, the wiper member 14 is connected to the fixing frame 15, and the wiper end 141 of the wiper member 14 is located near the washing and squeezing area 121; the water guide member 13 is rotatably connected to the fixing frame 15, and is located near the end of the wiper member 14 away from the washing and squeezing area 121. Preferably, the wiper member 14 is movably connected to the second fixing portion 153-2, and a torsion spring 142 is provided on the rotating shaft of the wiper member 14 to ensure that the wiper member 14 can return to its initial position to facilitate subsequent wiping of the mop head; the end of the wiper member 14 near the inner barrel 12 is tilted from bottom to top to form the wiper end 141.

[0077] like Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, the mop bucket 1 also includes a control device 17 for driving and controlling the operation and stopping of the water guide 13. Specifically, when the control device 17 controls the operation of the water guide 13, the mop 2 is cleaned; when the control device 17 controls the water guide 13 to stop, the mop 2 is squeezed dry. The control device 17 includes a driving gear 171, a gear set 172 connected to the driving gear 171, and a driving member 173 for controlling the operation and stopping of the gear set 172. Preferably, the driving gear 171 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 15.

[0078] like Figure 6-Figure 7As shown, the gear set 172 includes a first gear 172-1 connected to the driving gear 171, a second gear 172-2 meshing with the first gear 172-1, and a third gear 172-3 meshing with the second gear 172-2, and the third gear 172-3 is connected to the water guide 13; the end of the first gear 172-1 away from the driving gear 171 is connected to the reset member 172-11, preferably, the reset member 172-11 includes a compression spring, and the other end of the elastic member 173-22 has a first fixing member 174, and the first fixing member 174 covers the outside of the gear set 172 , and is fixed to the outer wall of the fixing frame 15; the driving member 173 includes a first driving member 173-1 for controlling the operation and stopping of the first gear 172-1; when the first driving member 173-1 moves close to the first gear 172-1, it can push the first gear 172-1 to move in a direction away from the driving gear 171 until the first gear 172-1 is disengaged from the driving gear 171; when the first driving member 173-1 moves in a direction away from the first gear 172-1, the reset member 172-11 provides a reset force to connect the first gear 172-1 to the driving gear 171. Preferably, the first driving member 173-1 includes a driving portion 173-11 for driving the first gear 172-1 and an operating portion 173-12. Moreover, the first driving member 173-1 is slidably arranged on the upper end of the first fixing member 174. Correspondingly, the upper end of the first fixing member 174 is provided with a sliding groove 174-1 for the first driving member 173-1 to slide. At the same time, the first driving member 173-1 is exposed at the top of the fixing frame 15, and the top of the fixing frame 15 is provided with a limiting opening 154 for restricting the first driving member 173-1.

[0079] Specifically, when the side wall of the operating part 173-12 of the first driving member 173-1 is pushed to abut against one end close to the first gear 172-1, the first gear 172-1 is squeezed by the driving part 173-11 of the first driving member 173-1, so that the first gear 172-1 is disengaged from the driving gear 171, and the water guiding member 13 stops running and performs the squeezing work of the mop 2. At this time, the reset part 172-11 set on the first gear 172-1 is compressed to store elastic potential energy; when the side wall of the operating part 173-12 of the first driving member 173-1 is pushed to abut against one end away from the first gear 172-1, the driving part 173-11 of the first driving member 173-1 is disengaged from the first gear 172-1, and the reset part 172-11 releases the elastic potential energy, so that the first gear 172-1 is meshed with the driving gear 171, and the water guiding member 13 starts running to perform the cleaning work of the mop 2.

[0080] Example 2:

[0081] The difference between this embodiment and the above-mentioned embodiment 1 is that:

[0082] Figures 8-12 The structure shown in this embodiment is the same as that in the above-mentioned embodiment 1;

[0083] like Figures 13-18 As shown, the gear set 172 includes a fourth gear 172-4 meshed with the driving gear 171, a one-way gear 172-5 meshed with the fourth gear 172-4, and a fifth gear 172-6 meshed with the one-way gear 172-5, and the fifth gear 172-6 is connected to the water guide member 13; the one-way gear 172-5 has a one-way gear rotating shaft 172-51, and the one-way gear rotating shaft 172-51 is provided with a toggle tooth 172-52, and the toggle tooth 172-52 is meshed and connected with a sixth gear 172-7, and the driving member 173 includes a second driving member 173-2 for controlling the stop and restart of the sixth gear 172-7. Preferably, the outside of the gear set 172 is covered with a second fixing member 175, and the second fixing member 175 is fixed to the outer wall of the fixing frame 15, and the inner wall of the second fixing member 175 is provided with a toothed area 175-1 matching the one-way gear 172-5, to ensure the one-way operation of the one-way gear 172-5. When the mop 2 moves upward, it will not reverse and the water guide wheel will not be driven. The second driving member 173-2 has a stopping portion 173-21 for controlling the stopping of the sixth gear 172-7. Correspondingly, the sixth gear 172-7 has a supporting portion 172-71 matching the stopping portion 173-21; the sixth gear 172-7 rotates until the supporting portion 172-71 contacts the stopping portion 173-21, and the sixth gear 172-7 stops running; the second driving member 173-2 is operated to make the stopping portion 173-21 disengage from the supporting portion 172-71, and the sixth gear 172-7 starts running again.

[0084] like Figure 15-18As shown, preferably, an elastic member 173-22 is provided inside the second driving member 173-2 to provide the second driving member 173-2 with elastic potential energy, and the second driving member 173-2 has a limit platform 173-23 for limiting the second driving member 173-2 from disengaging from the fixing frame 15, and the inner wall of the fixing frame 15 extends downward to form an L-shaped limit member 155, and the limit member 155 is provided at the top of the sixth gear 172-7 and does not limit the rotation of the sixth gear 172-7; the elastic member 173-22 is placed between the second driving member 173-2 and the limit member 155, which can ensure that the second driving member 173-2 is installed on the driving frame. When the second driving member 173-2 is pressed, the elastic member 173-22 is squeezed to reserve elastic potential energy. When the pressing stops, the elastic potential energy of the elastic member 173-22 returns the second driving member 173-2 to its initial position.

[0085] like Figure 17-18 As shown, preferably, the stopping portion 173-21 is formed at one end of the sixth gear 172-7 close to the fixing frame 15. When the second driving member 173-2 is in the initial position, the stopping portion 173-21 of the sixth gear 172-7 will contact the abutting portion 172-71. Subject to the restriction, the sixth gear 172-7 will stop rotating. At the same time, the second driving member 173-2 is provided with a pushing portion 173-24. When the second driving member 173-2 is pressed, the abutting portion 172 -71 moves downward, the stopping portion 173-21 disengages from the abutting portion 172-71, and the pushing portion 173-24 pushes the teeth of the sixth gear 172-7 to rotate, and at the same time drives the stopping portion 173-21 to rotate, then the pressing of the second driving member 173-2 stops. When the second driving member 173-2 returns to its initial position, the stopping portion 173-21 will not contact the abutting portion 172-71, and the sixth gear 172-7 can be driven to rotate by the one-way gear 172-5.

[0086] like Figure 17-18As shown, preferably, a toggle tooth 172-52 is provided on the one-way gear rotating shaft 172-51, and the one-way gear 172-5 rotates one end, and the toggle tooth 172-52 toggles the sixth gear 172-7 once, causing it to rotate a distance of one tooth. Preferably, the sixth gear 172-7 is provided with 21 teeth, then the one-way gear 172-5 rotates 21 times, and the sixth gear 172-7 rotates exactly one circle. Preferably, the mop 2 is inserted from top to bottom into the inner barrel 12 until it is fully inserted, which can drive the driving gear 171 to rotate 7 circles, then the one-way gear 172-5 rotates 7 circles, and toggles the sixth gear 172-7 to rotate a distance of 7 teeth. As a result, the mop 2 performs 3 insertion movements, and the sixth gear 172-7 rotates exactly one circle.

[0087] Specifically, when the second driving member 173-2 is pressed, the abutting portion 172-71 of the second driving member 173-2 moves downward, the pushing portion pushes the sixth gear 172-7 to rotate, and the second stopping portion 173-21 rotates and disengages from the abutting portion 172-71, then the sixth gear 172-7 can be driven by the one-way gear 172-5, and the water guiding member 13 operates normally to clean the mop 2. At this time, the elastic member 173-22 is squeezed to reserve elastic potential energy; when the pressing of the second driving member 173-2 is stopped, the elastic potential energy of the elastic member 173-22 returns the second driving member 173-2 to its initial position. After the sixth gear 172-7 rotates one circle, the stopping portion 173-21 is restricted by the abutting portion 172-71 and stops running, then the water guiding member 13 stops running and the mop 2 is squeezed.

[0088] Example 3:

[0089] like Figure 19 As shown, a water baffle 18 is provided in the mop bucket 1 in this embodiment, and the water baffle 18 separates the mop bucket 1 into the water storage area 111 and the cleaning and squeezing area 121.

[0090] Specifically, the water baffle 18 is formed by extending upward from the bottom surface of the mop bucket 1, and the height of the water baffle 18 is lower than the height of the mop bucket 1; the fixing frame 15 is provided with a card slot 153-3, and the card slot 153-3 is matched and fixed with the water baffle 18.

[0091] The other structures are the same as those in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 or embodiment 2.

[0092] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
