Detailed implementation manners

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described 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 of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installed", "connected", and "coupled" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0026] Refer to Figures 1-3 , an embodiment of the present invention discloses a connection structure, which includes a first connector 1 for connecting with a mop head 8 and a second connector 2 for connecting with a mop main body 9. The first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are hinged through a rotating shaft 3; a touch switch 4 for controlling the working state of the mop main body is provided on the second connector 2. A pressing member 5 for controlling the touch switch 4 and an elastic member 6 for controlling the pressing member 5 to move away from or close to the touch switch 4 are provided at the hinge joint of the first connector 1 and the second connector 2. The elastic member 6 is fixed on the first connector 1, and the pressing member 5 is provided on the second connector 2 and can move up and down relative to the second connector 2. At the same time, the pressing member 5 is connected to the elastic member 6 and can rotate relative to the elastic member; when the second connector 2 rotates relative to the first connector 1, the elastic member 6 drives the pressing member 5 to move away from or close to the touch switch 4 to control the working of the mop main body 9. Among them, the touch switch 4 is used to control the generation of steam in the mop main body, specifically referring to controlling the operation of a heating pot in the main machine 903.

[0027] Specifically, during use, by rotating the second connector 2, the elastic member 6 drives the pressing member 5 to move away from or close to the touch switch 4. When the pressing member 5 approaches the touch switch 4, the pressing member 5 presses the touch switch 4, and at this time, the touch switch 4 is in the off state, and the mop main body 9 does not work; when the pressing member 5 moves away from the touch switch 4, the pressing member 5 no longer presses the touch switch 4, and at this time, the touch switch 4 is in the on state, and the mop main body 9 works to generate steam.

[0028] Since generally, when the steam mop is not needed, the mop main body 9 stands vertically on the mop head 8 to save the placement space for placing the steam mop when the steam mop is not in use. Specifically, refer to Figure 6; when a steam floor mop is needed, the floor mop main body 9 needs to be rotated so that an angle less than 90° is formed between the floor mop main body 9 and the floor mop head 8, so as to facilitate the user to hold the handle 901 of the floor mop main body 9 and push the floor mop head 8 to clean the floor; therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, it can be set that when the floor mop main body 9 stands vertically on the floor mop head 8, the pressing member 5 presses the touch switch 4 (that is, the pressing member 5 approaches the touch switch 4), and at this time the touch switch 4 is in the off state; and when an angle less than 90° is formed between the floor mop main body 9 and the floor mop head 8 (that is, when the floor mop main body 9 does not stand vertically on the floor mop head 8), the pressing member 5 does not press the touch switch 4 (that is, the pressing member 5 is away from the touch switch 4), and at this time the touch switch 4 is in the on state.

[0029] Specifically, a first through hole 501 is provided on the pressing member 5, and a second through hole 6031 is provided on the elastic member 6. The rotating shaft 3 sequentially passes through the first through hole 501 and the second through hole 6031; when the pressing member 5 rotates relative to the elastic member 6, under the action of the elastic member 6, the position of the rotating shaft in the second through hole 6031 changes so that the pressing member 5 moves away from or approaches the touch switch 6. Specifically, as Figure 3 shown in the structures of the elastic member 6 and the pressing member 5 in the figure, when the first through hole 501 is aligned with the second through hole 6031, since the position of the rotating shaft 3 is fixed, at this time the pressing member 5 moves upward under the elastic force of the elastic member 6 until the lower ends of the first through hole 501 and the second through hole 6031 contact the rotating shaft 3 to limit the pressing member 5, and at this time the pressing member 5 presses the touch switch; when the first through hole 501 is misaligned with the second through hole 6031, since the rotation of the pressing member 5 is centered on the first through hole 501 and the second through hole 6031, during the process from the alignment of the first through hole 501 and the second through hole 6031 to the misalignment of the first through hole 501 and the second through hole 6031, the pressing member 5 will generate a downward pressure on the elastic member 6, so that the elastic member 6 drives the pressing member to move downward relative to the second connecting member, and further makes the pressing member 5 move away from the touch switch 4. Through the above control of the present invention, the working state of the floor mop main body 9 can be controlled, which is very convenient.

[0030] Wherein, a circular limiting block 6033 is provided at one end of the elastic member 6 connected to the pressing member 5, and a circular groove 502 with a diameter matching the diameter of the circular limiting block 6033 is provided on the pressing member 5. The first through hole 501 is arranged in the circular groove 502, and the circular groove 502 is sleeved outside the circular limiting block 6033 so that the pressing member 5 and the elastic member 6 can be connected and can rotate relative to the elastic member 6.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 5As shown, the second connecting member 2 is provided with a limiting hole 2013 for limiting the pressing member 5. The pressing member 5 is arranged in the limiting hole 2013, and the touch switch 4 is arranged at the upper end of the limiting hole 2013. The rotating shaft 3 is arranged below the limiting hole 2013. The rotating shaft 3 passes through the first through hole 501 of the pressing member 5 to fix the pressing member 5 on the second connecting member 2. Since the first through hole 501 is long and strip-shaped, the pressing member 5 can move up and down in the limiting hole 2013. Among them, as Figure 5 shown, the upper end of the pressing member 5 is provided with a pressing portion 503 for contacting the touch switch 4, and the pressing portion 503 is in inclined contact with the touch switch 4.

[0032] Furthermore, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the elastic member 6 includes a fixing frame 601, a spring 602 and a pushing member 603, where Figure 3 the elastic member 6 and the pressing member 5 in

[0033] is a structural diagram in which the first through hole 501 and the second through hole 6031 are aligned. The spring 602 and the pushing member 603 are fixed on the fixing frame 601, and the fixing frame 601 is fixed in the first connecting member 1. The lower end of the spring 602 is fixed through the fixing frame 601, and the upper end of the spring 602 is connected to the lower end of the pushing member 603. Under the action of the spring 602, the pushing member 603 can move in the telescopic direction of the spring 602. A circular limiting block 6033 is arranged at the upper end of the pushing member 603.

[0034] Among them, the fixing frame 601 is provided with an installation area 6011 for installing the spring 602, and a limiting member 6012 for limiting the spring 602 is arranged in the installation area 6011. The lower end of the pressing member 5 extends into the installation area 6011 and is connected to the spring 602.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the first through hole 501 is aligned with the second through hole 6031, since the spring 602 is in a compressed state at this time, the pushing member 603 connected to the spring 602 will push the elastic member 6 upward to squeeze the touch switch 4; when the first through hole 501 and the second through hole 6031 are misaligned, the acting force of the external force on the handle 901 will be transmitted to the pressing member 5, causing the pressing member 5 to rotate around the centers of the first through hole 501 and the second through hole 6031. The pressing member 5 will generate a downward pressure on the pushing member 603, thereby causing the pushing member 603 to compress the spring downward, driving the pressing member 5 to move downward relative to the second connecting member 2, and further causing the pressing member 5 to move away from the touch switch 4.

[0036] Further, a U-shaped groove 101 is provided on the first connecting member 1, and the lower end of the second connecting member 2 is disposed in the U-shaped groove 101 and is hinged to the first connecting member 1 through a rotating shaft 3. At this time, the U-shaped groove 101 serves as the rotating space of the second connecting member 2.

[0037] Further, the second connecting member 2 includes a hinged member 201 for connecting to the first connecting member 1 and a fixing member 202 for connecting to the main body 9 of the mop. A fastener 2021 is hinged on the fixing member 202. A through hole 2011 matching the fastener 2021 is provided at the upper end of the hinged member 201. The fixing member 202 is sleeved outside the hinged member 201 and is matched with the through hole 2011 through the fastener 2021 to enable a detachable connection between the fixing member 202 and the hinged member 201. Among them, a pressing key 902 corresponding to the fastener 2021 can be provided on the main body 9 of the mop. By pressing the pressing key 902 to press the fastener 2021, the fastener 2021 is separated from the through hole 2011, so that the main body 9 of the mop is separated from the mop head 8, facilitating the user to replace different-shaped mop heads 8 according to specific scenarios during cleaning, such as a triangular mop head 8, a fan-shaped mop head 8, or a square mop head 8, improving the user experience.

[0038] Further, a limiting groove 2012 for limiting the fixing member 202 is provided on the hinged member 201 to keep the main body 9 of the mop and the mop head 8 stable when they are fixed.

[0039] See Figure 6 , the present invention also proposes a steam mop, including the above-mentioned connection structure. Among them, the steam mop includes a mop head 8 and a main body 9 of the mop. The main body 9 of the mop includes a main machine 903 and a handle 901. The main machine 903 is connected to the handle 901, and the main machine 903 and the mop head 8 are connected through a connection structure; the main body 9 of the mop can rotate relative to the mop head 8, and the working state of the main body 9 of the mop is controlled by the rotation of the main body 9 of the mop.

[0040] Furthermore, a pressing key 902 is provided on the mop main body 9. By pressing the fastener 2021 with the pressing key 902, the detachable connection between the mop main body 9 and the mop head 8 can be realized, which is convenient for users to replace mop heads 8 of different shapes according to specific scenarios during cleaning.

[0041] In the present invention, the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 are hinged. By providing an elastic member 6 and a pressing member 5 for controlling the touch switch 4 at the hinge, when the second connecting member 2 rotates relative to the first connecting member 1, the elastic member 6 drives the pressing member 5 to move away from or close to the touch switch 4 to control the operation of the mop main body 9. There is no need for the user to turn on the working switch of the steam mop by themselves, which is very convenient, improves the user experience, and realizes intelligent cleaning.

[0042] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
