Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a cleaning tool, in particular to a cleaning tool suitable for cleaning and drying a foam mop, wherein the foam is a wiping material made by a foaming molding process, and can be a collodion, a sponge, a wiping material made of a synthetic material containing foam, or the like. Background Art

[0002] The traditional collodion mop includes a mop rod, a mop head and a water squeezing mechanism. The water squeezing device in the collodion mop is a transmission structure. The water squeezing device includes a handle, a pull rod, a clamp seat (squeezing frame), a collodion clamp and a water squeezing rod. The clamp seat is roughly U-shaped. The collodion head is clamped by the collodion clamp. The collodion clamp is fixed to the bottom end of the pull rod. The top of the pull rod is connected to the movable pin in the middle of the handle. The rear end of the handle is pinned to the mop rod. The two ends of the water squeezing rod are pinned to the lower end of the clamp seat. When squeezing water, the handle is pulled to drive the collodion head to move upward horizontally through the pull rod, and the water squeezing rod squeezes water from the upper part to the lower part in the thickness direction of the collodion. The mop rod of this mop has many parts attached to it, and the structure is complicated, the weight is heavy, and the operation is laborious. Someone invented a cleaning bucket specifically for collodion mops, such as the Chinese invention patent application with application number CN201710920255.3, "A cleaning bucket and collodion mop for cleaning collodion mops", and the Chinese invention patent application with application number CN201811267670.4, "A collodion mop squeeze bucket", etc., all disclose similar patents. A water squeezing device is provided on the barrel body, and the squeezing component in the water squeezing device is along the length direction of the foam head and only squeezes the bottom surface of the foam head. The squeezing stroke is long (greater than the length of the mop head), which is time-consuming, and the height of the cleaning bucket must be increased, which increases the cost. When squeezing water, the mop head needs to be rotated to be basically parallel to the mop rod, which is inconvenient to operate.

[0003] Therefore, how to design a cleaning tool for foam mops that is compact and reasonable in structure, low in cost, and can be squeezed dry quickly is a problem that technicians in this field need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a cleaning tool based on a foam mop with a simple and reasonable structure, low cost and the ability to be quickly squeezed dry, in response to the above-mentioned existing technical status. The cleaning bucket used in the cleaning tool can be made low and the overall structure is compact, which is easy to store and reduces costs.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: a foam mop cleaning tool, including a cleaning bucket and a mop, the mop including a mop head connected to the lower end of the mop rod, the mop head including a mounting component and foam arranged at the bottom of the mounting component, the cleaning bucket is installed with a squeezing frame, and the squeezing frame is provided with a squeezing structure for squeezing the foam; the characteristic is that the squeezing structure includes two squeezing plates arranged opposite to each other at intervals on the left and right and a support plate located between the two squeezing plates, the support plate is used to support the foam, the two squeezing plates and the support plate together constitute an squeezing channel when squeezing water, the outer side of each squeezing plate is formed on the squeezing frame through a first flexible connecting piece so that it can swing, and the support plate The left and right sides of the support plate are respectively formed on the extrusion plates on the corresponding sides through second flexible connecting pieces so that the support plate and the extrusion plate can swing relative to each other, and the bottom of the support plate is provided with an elastic structure to keep it moving upward; the foam has a first side extrusion surface, a second side extrusion surface and a bottom extrusion surface extending along the length direction, and the first side extrusion surface and the second side extrusion surface are respectively located on the left and right sides of the bottom extrusion surface; when squeezing water, the length direction of the extrusion plate and the support plate is horizontal to the length direction of the foam, and in the process of pressing down the mop rod, the support plate moves downward and the two extrusion plates swing downward, thereby squeezing the first side extrusion surface, the second side extrusion surface and the bottom extrusion surface.

[0006] Preferably, the extrusion plate has an inclined surface and a vertical surface. The bottom of the inclined surface is connected to the inner side surface of the extrusion frame through the first flexible connecting piece, and the bottom of the vertical surface is connected to the side of the support plate through the second flexible connecting piece. After the extrusion plate swings, the vertical surface forms an extrusion surface that tilts outward from top to bottom, so that the width of the upper port of the extrusion channel becomes smaller, and the first side extruded surface and the second side extruded surface are further squeezed. The extrusion plate structure can form a good water squeezing effect on the foam. At the beginning, the vertical surface forms a pre-extrusion on the two side extruded surfaces of the foam, and the foam enters the extrusion channel easily. After pressing down, the extrusion plate swings with the downward movement of the support plate, and the upper port of the extrusion channel becomes smaller, forming an extrusion channel that is small at the top and large at the bottom, further squeezing the two side extruded surfaces of the foam, and the extrusion is more sufficient.

[0007] In order to facilitate downward movement, the inclined surface is provided with water-permeable holes. The first flexible connecting sheet and / or the second flexible connecting sheet are provided with water-permeable holes. The support plate is provided with water-permeable holes. The squeezed water can be quickly discharged through the water-permeable holes, reducing resistance and further enhancing the water squeezing effect.

[0008] Preferably, the cross section of the support plate is in an upwardly arched shape. The arched support plate surface can squeeze water from the bottom squeezed surface of the foam cotton from the middle to both sides, and the squeezing effect is better.

[0009] Further improvement, the bottom surface of the cleaning bucket has a boss, the bottom of the support plate has an extension wall extending downward in an annular shape, the extension wall surrounds a guide cavity matching the shape of the boss, the boss can slide up and down relative to the guide cavity, the elastic structure is a spring, the bottom of the support plate has a push column extending downward, the boss has a guide hole, a spring seat that can slide up and down is provided in the guide hole, the spring is provided below the spring seat and the spring seat maintains an upward trend, the push column and the spring seat are in conflict. This structure ensures that the support plate slides up and down axially, and the guide cavity provides a suitable installation position for the spring. The elastic structure is easy to assemble, the spring seat and the spring are pre-installed in the guide cavity, and then the extrusion frame is installed on the cleaning bucket to complete the assembly.

[0010] In order to prevent the cleaning and squeezing operations of the cleaning bucket from interfering with each other, the cleaning bucket is divided into a squeezing area and a cleaning area, the squeezing frame is arranged in the squeezing area, and the cleaning area is for the mop head to enter.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are: when squeezing water, the length direction of the squeezing component and the length direction of the foam are both horizontal, the mop head is placed on the support plate, and in the process of pressing the mop rod, the foam at the bottom of the mop head pushes the support plate downward, and the downward movement of the support plate drives the two squeezing plates to swing, and the support plate and the squeezing plates on both sides jointly squeeze water from the foam. Completely different from the traditional upward-downward squeezing method, it ensures that the entire squeezing stroke is close to the size in the thickness direction of the rubber cotton, the squeezing stroke is short, and rapid squeezing can be achieved, and the squeezing operation is simple and takes a short time, only a simple rapid downward pressing action is required, and the user experience is good; compared with traditional foam cleaning tools, the cleaning bucket can also be made low to reduce costs. The elastic structure keeps the support plate moving upward, and after the downward pressure on the mop rod is removed, the elastic structure can help the mop head 3 move up and out of the squeezing channel P. In addition, since the outer side of each extrusion plate is formed on the extrusion frame through the first flexible connecting piece and can swing, the left and right sides of the support plate are respectively formed on the extrusion plate on the corresponding side through the second flexible connecting piece, so that the support plate and the extrusion plate can swing relative to each other, so that the extrusion plate, the support plate and the extrusion frame are formed together at one time by injection molding, which makes processing more convenient and greatly reduces costs.

[0020] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 8 Shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] A foam mop cleaning tool comprises a cleaning bucket 1 and a mop, wherein the mop comprises a mop head 3 connected to the lower end of a mop rod, the mop rod is not shown in the drawings, the mop head 3 comprises a mounting component 31 and foam 32 arranged at the bottom of the mounting component 31, the cleaning bucket 1 is installed with a squeezing rack 4, the squeezing rack 4 is provided with a squeezing structure for squeezing the foam 32, the foam has a certain thickness and strong water absorption. The cleaning bucket 1 is divided into a squeezing area Q1 and a cleaning area Q2, the squeezing rack is arranged in the squeezing area Q1, the cleaning area is for the mop head 3 to enter, and the mop head 3 can clean in the cleaning area Q2.

[0023] The squeezing structure includes two squeezing plates 5 arranged opposite to each other at intervals on the left and right sides and a support plate 6 located between the two squeezing plates 5. The cross section of the support plate 6 is an arched shape that arches upwards. The support plate 6 is used to support the foam 32. The two squeezing plates 5 and the support plate 6 together constitute an squeezing channel P when squeezing water. The outer side of each squeezing plate 5 is formed on the squeezing frame 4 through a first flexible connecting piece 7a so that it can swing. The left and right sides of the support plate 6 are respectively formed on the squeezing plate 5 on the corresponding side through a second flexible connecting piece 7b so that the support plate 6 and the squeezing plate 5 can swing relative to each other. The bottom of the support plate 6 is provided with an elastic structure that keeps it moving upward. The foam 32 has a first side squeezing surface 3a, a second side squeezing surface 3b and a bottom squeezing surface 3c extending in the length direction. The bottom squeezing surface 3c can be in a certain curvature. The first side squeezing surface 3a and the second side squeezing surface 3b are respectively located on the left and right sides of the bottom squeezing surface 3c.

[0024] When squeezing water, the length direction L of the squeezing plate 5 and the supporting plate 6 is horizontal to the length direction L of the foam 32. In the process of pressing the mop rod downward, the supporting plate 6 moves downward and the two squeezing plates 5 swing downward. The vertical surface 52 forms an squeezing surface inclined outward from top to bottom, so that the width of the upper port of the squeezing channel P becomes smaller, forming an squeezing channel P with a small top and a large bottom, and further squeezing the first side squeezing surface 3a and the second side squeezing surface 3b. Figure 7 , 8 shown.

[0025] The extrusion plate 5 has an inclined surface 51 and a vertical surface 52, the angle between the inclined surface 51 and the vertical surface 52 is less than 70 degrees, the bottom of the inclined surface 51 is connected to the inner side of the extrusion frame 4 through the first flexible connecting piece 7a, and the bottom of the vertical surface 52 is connected to the side of the support plate 6 through the second flexible connecting piece 7b. After the extrusion plate 5 swings, the inclined surface 51 can extrude the first side extruded surface 3a and the second side extruded surface 3b. The inclined surface 51 is provided with a water-permeable hole 2. The first flexible connecting piece 7a and the second flexible connecting piece 7b are provided with a water-permeable hole 2. The support plate 6 is provided with a water-permeable hole 2.

[0026] The bottom surface of the cleaning barrel 1 has a boss portion 11, and the bottom of the support plate 6 has an extension wall extending downward in a ring shape, and the extension wall surrounds a guide cavity 61 that matches the shape of the boss portion 11. The boss portion 11 can slide up and down relative to the guide cavity 61. The elastic structure is a spring 8. The bottom of the support plate 6 has a push column 62 extending downward, and a guide hole 12 is opened on the boss portion 11. A spring seat 9 that can slide up and down is provided in the guide hole 12. The spring 8 is arranged below the spring seat 9 and the spring seat 9 maintains an upward trend, and the push column 62 is in conflict with the spring seat 9.

[0027] In this embodiment, the up-down direction refers to the length direction of the mop rod when preparing to squeeze water or squeezing water, that is, the vertical direction; the horizontal direction refers to the direction parallel or substantially parallel to the ground or the plane where the cleaning bucket opening is located (see Figure 1 , when preparing to squeeze water, both L directions are horizontal).

[0028] The working process and principle of the preferred embodiment of the cleaning tool are as follows:

[0029] When squeezing water, the mop head 3 still maintains a basically vertical state with the mop rod, that is, a normal cleaning working state, and then the bottom of the foam 32 is placed on the support plate 6, and the length direction L of the support plate 6 and the squeezing plate 5 is transverse to the length direction L of the foam 32. The foam 32 is placed in the length direction L in the squeezing channel P formed by the two squeezing plates 5 and the support plate 6 when squeezing water. The mop rod is pressed down to drive the mop head 3 to move downward, and the foam 32 at the bottom of the mop head 3 pushes the support plate 6 to move downward, and the downward movement of the support plate 6 drives the two squeezing plates 5 to swing, and the support plate 6 and the squeezing plates 5 on both sides squeeze water for the foam 32 together. At the beginning, the vertical surface 52 of the extrusion plate 5 pre-extrudes the first side extrusion surface 3a and the first side extrusion surface 3b of the foam 32, and the foam 32 enters the extrusion channel P easily. After being pressed down, the extrusion plate 5 swings with the downward movement of the support plate 6, and the vertical surface 52 forms an extrusion surface inclined from top to bottom and outward, so that the width of the upper port of the extrusion channel P becomes smaller, forming an extrusion channel P that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. The extrusion plate 5 further extrudes the first side extrusion surface 3a and the first side extrusion surface 3b of the foam 32, and the extrusion is more sufficient.

[0030] After squeezing is completed, the support plate 6 moves upward and resets under the action of the spring 8, assisting the mop head 3 to move upward out of the squeezing channel P, and at the same time drives the squeezing plate 5 to swing upward and reset, waiting for the next squeezing operation.

[0031] It should be noted that in the description of this embodiment, the terms "front, back", "left, right", "up, down", etc. indicating directions or positional relationships are all based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.
