[0057] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the protection scope of the present invention.

[0058] Example:

[0059] A flat mop cleaning tool, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown: it comprises a mop bucket 1 and a flat mop 2, wherein the mop bucket is provided with a working area 11 and a water storage area 12, wherein the working area is located above the water storage area;

[0060] The mop 2 is placed in the working area for washing and / or dehydration, and the water storage area is filled with washing water for washing the mop. A channel 111 is provided between the working area and the water storage area to connect the two. After the wastewater generated when the mop is washed and / or dehydrated falls into the working area, it can flow into the water storage area from the channel, so that no water will accumulate in the working area.

[0061] The channels are hollow holes, and in this embodiment, are a plurality of circular through holes.

[0062] A water pumping device 3 is also provided, which can pump out the water in the water storage area and spray it on the wiped object of the mop.

[0063] When the mop is placed in the working area for washing and / or dehydration, the pumping device can pump out the water in the water storage area and spray it on the mop's wiping objects during washing, and the generated sewage will be discharged into the water storage area through the channel and will not remain in the working area, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the mop washing and / or dehydration. After stopping the water spraying, continuing to operate the mop is the dehydration mode, and there is no need to switch the mop to other working positions, which simplifies the use steps and improves efficiency.

[0064] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown: the mop is provided with a wiper 4 which can squeeze the wiped object, and the wiper has two settings:

[0065] (1) Figure 3As shown: the wiper is arranged in the working area of ​​the mop bucket, the working area is provided with a through hole 112 for the mop head of the mop to pass through, and the wiper is located on one side or both sides of the through hole;

[0066] (2) Figures 4 to 6 As shown: the wiper is arranged on the squeezing rack 21 on the mop, the squeezing rack is arranged on the mop rod 22 of the mop, the squeezing rack can slide along the mop rod and squeeze the wiping material on the mop head 23, the working area is provided with a support seat 113 for placing the squeezing rack, and the support seat is provided with a through hole 112 for the mop head of the mop to pass through.

[0067] A brush 5 is provided on one or both sides of the opening;

[0068] It comprises a barrel cover 17, which is installed at the mouth of the working area, and the through opening is arranged on the barrel cover.

[0069] The wiper includes some commonly used water squeezing parts in the market, such as squeezing blocks, squeezing sheets, squeezing rollers or columnar brushes, which are mature technologies, so the present invention will not be described in detail here;

[0070] There are two ways to set the wiper in the present invention. One is to integrate it on the mop bucket. The mop bucket is provided with a through hole, and the wiper is provided at the through hole. The mop is inserted into the through hole and plugged in and out to achieve cleaning and dehydration (squeezing water); the other is to be provided on the mop, that is, the squeezing structure of the flat mop cited in the background technology of the present invention. The mop bucket is provided with a support seat. When in use, the squeezing frame of the mop is placed on the support seat, and then the mop is plugged in and out to achieve cleaning and squeezing water. The overall preparation cost of the cleaning tool in this way is low, and the mop is lighter and more labor-saving to use.

[0071] For the second method mentioned above, the support seat in this embodiment is set as a concave structure, so that it can accommodate the frame body 211 (water squeezing part) of the water squeezing rack, which can prevent the water squeezing rack from being displaced when the mop is plugged in and out, affecting the use. However, it can be imagined that other positioning methods can also be used, such as the cooperation of the positioning pin hole, such as the positioning buckle, etc.;

[0072] In addition, in this embodiment, a buckle is also provided on the support seat, which can lock (or clamp) the water squeezing rack after the water squeezing rack is placed, so that the plugging and unplugging operation can be achieved with one hand; however, the plugging and unplugging operation can be completed whether the buckle is provided or not, because the structure of the water squeezing rack itself allows the water squeezing rack to be held with one hand during operation, and the plugging and unplugging operation can be completed with the other hand;

[0073] Moreover, it is conceivable that, by adopting the second type of wiper, the mop can also be separated from the mop bucket and used independently, so the usage is more diversified.

[0074] The partition structure of the mop bucket, the present invention also has two implementation modes;

[0075] The first one, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown: a partition 13 is provided in the mop bucket, the area above the partition is the working area, the area below the partition is the water storage area, the channel is provided on the partition, and in this embodiment, the side wall of the barrel body has a step 131, and the partition is placed on the step;

[0076] The method of using a single bucket and partitioning with partitions can reduce the preparation cost of the mop bucket. As for the bucket body, only one mold is needed.

[0077] The second type, such as Fig. 9 As shown: the mop bucket comprises a first barrel body 15 and a second barrel body 16 stacked up and down, the second barrel body is located below the first barrel body, the inner cavity of the first barrel body constitutes the working area, the inner cavity of the second barrel body constitutes the water storage area, and the bottom of the first barrel body is a partition 13 for separating the working area and the water storage area;

[0078] When the double barrel structure is adopted, it is more convenient to clean the sewage. You only need to clean the second barrel body used for storing water, which is light and quick.

[0079] The mop bucket of the present invention further comprises a filter screen (not shown) for filtering particulate matter in sewage, and the structure of the filter screen is one of the following three types:

[0080] (1) The filter is arranged in the channel;

[0081] (2) The partition is a filter screen fixedly arranged in the mop bucket;

[0082] (3) The plate surface of the partition has a plurality of filter holes arranged in an array.

[0083] The filter can simply filter out larger debris, making the recycled cleaning water as clean as possible to improve the cleaning effect of the mop.

[0084] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown: the water pumping device includes a water pump assembly 31, a water pumping pipe 32 and a water outlet 33, the water outlet is provided with a water outlet 331, the water pump is connected to the water pumping pipe and the water outlet, one end of the water pumping pipe is located in the water storage area, and the water outlet is located on one side or both sides of the through hole;

[0085] It should be noted that the two sides mentioned here refer to opposite sides. For a double-sided flat mop, it is necessary to set a wiper and a water spray mechanism on both sides;

[0086] The present invention uses a water pump assembly, that is, the water spraying is electrically powered. Since the water pump is a very mature technology, it can be foreseen that the water pumping device has higher stability, lower failure rate and longer service life.

[0087] The water pump assembly comprises a water pump and a battery, wherein the battery is a rechargeable battery, and the battery is arranged so that the mop bucket can be used at any position without being plugged in.

[0088] like Fig.11 As shown: a contact switch 34 is provided on one side of the through hole, and when the mop is inserted into the through hole, it abuts against the contact switch, and the contact switch is used to control the operation of the pumping device;

[0089] The function of the contact switch is that there is no need to manually open the pumping device. When the mop is inserted, it will contact the contact switch, and then the pumping device will be turned on for water spraying and cleaning, simplifying the operation steps;

[0090] Moreover, the water spraying time can also be automatically controlled, and can be set to stop after any water spraying time according to needs, for example, the default setting is to stop after spraying for 5-10 seconds (not limited to this, 5-10 seconds is only the best time in theory, but depending on the usage scenario, this time may be shorter by about 3 seconds, or longer by about 15 seconds), and after stopping the water spraying, it will automatically switch to the water squeezing mode, which is a seamless switch without the user having to perform other actions, and is easy to use; when squeezing water after the water spraying is finished, the mop will still contact the contact switch, and at this time the water spraying program can be set to not start the pumping device again within a certain time (such as 10-20 seconds) after the water spraying is finished, and then the function of the contact switch will be restored. If water needs to be sprayed again at this time, the manually controlled switch button 35 can be used;

[0091] Since the contact switch 34 and / or the switch button 35 for controlling the start and stop of the water pumping device are provided, the water pumping device can be started in two ways: manually controlled by the switch button and / or automatically controlled by the contact switch, and the user can freely choose.

[0092] The water spraying action of the pumping device can also be set to continuous water spraying or intermittent water spraying according to the program. Continuous water spraying means stopping after the above 5-10 seconds; intermittent water spraying means spraying for N1 seconds and then pausing for N2 seconds, and circulating N3 times, and the total water spraying time (added) is 5-10 seconds;

[0093] The water spraying mode ends automatically, which means it automatically switches to the dehydration mode without any other operation.

[0094] Of course, the contact switch can also be implemented by other means such as sensors. In addition, the program control involved in this embodiment can be implemented through a simple gate circuit (PLC or single-chip microcomputer), which is not the inventive point of the present invention, so it will not be repeated here.

[0095] like Figure 3 As shown: the barrel cover is provided with a switch button 35, and the button switch is used to control the operation of the pumping device;

[0096] The barrel cover is provided with a pumping status indicator 36, which includes an indicator light and / or a buzzer, and the user can observe the pumping status according to the indicator.

[0097] The side wall of the water storage area is a transparent or translucent structure, which allows users to intuitively see the cleanliness of the cleaning water in the water storage area, so that users can clearly know the timing of changing water, reduce learning costs, and improve user experience;

[0098] Obviously, for the mop bucket with a double-bucket structure, the second bucket body is a transparent or translucent structure.

[0099] A filtering area 14 is also provided between the water storage area and the working area, and a filtering layer 141 for filtering by granular filter material is provided in the channel between the working area and the water storage area;

[0100] The mop bucket of the present invention is also provided with a filter layer, which is not the above-mentioned simple filtering filter screen. The filter layer can be filled with a single filter material, a double filter material or a triple filter material. For example, the single filter material is quartz sand or anthracite; the double filter material is anthracite and quartz sand; the triple filter material is anthracite, quartz sand and iron sand;

[0101] When using a filter layer, the filtration rate of the filter layer can be calculated based on the volume of clean water in the water storage area and the interval between mop cleanings.

[0102] The working process and working principle of the present invention are as follows:

[0103] The cleaning tool of the present invention comprises a mop and a mop bucket. The mop bucket is provided with a working area and a water storage area. The mop is located in the working area for cleaning and / or dehydration. A water pumping device is provided to pump out water in the water storage area and spray it on the mop's wiping object during cleaning. The generated sewage is discharged into the water storage area through a channel and will not remain in the working area, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the mop when cleaning and / or dehydrating. After stopping the water spraying, continuing to operate the mop is the dehydration mode, and there is no need to switch the mop to other working positions, thereby simplifying the use steps and improving the efficiency.

[0104] The detailed method of using the cleaning tool in this embodiment is as follows: when using, first flip the mop head of the mop to a state parallel to the mop rod, then insert it into the working area of ​​the mop bucket for cleaning, and at the same time start the pumping device, the pumping device pumps out the water in the water storage area and sprays it to the wiped object of the mop head, and moves the mop up and down to clean it; after the water spraying is completed, switch to the dehydration mode, continue to move the mop up and down to squeeze the water from the mop head, so as to complete the cleaning and dehydration operations of the mop; repeat the above actions N times (this variable is determined according to the usage and cannot be limited, theoretically 3-5 times is best), and then replace the water in the water storage area.

[0105] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
