Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a cleaning tool, in particular to a cleaning tool suitable for cleaning and drying a mop. Background Art

[0002] Hand-pull dry squeezing is a way of squeezing water from a mop. For example, a Chinese utility model patent with patent number CN201620853180.2 (publication number CN206080445U) "A mop bucket for squeezing water and cleaning a flat mop" discloses such a cleaning tool, including a flat mop and a mop bucket, on which a stroking extrusion device is installed that can slide relative to the flat mop head of the flat mop to form a moving extrusion on the wiped material on the flat mop head. A common feature of this cleaning tool is that the stroking extrusion device is fixed on the mop bucket. This structure has the following defects: 1. After long-term use, the stroking extrusion device becomes dirty and needs to be rinsed, otherwise it will affect the cleaning effect of the mop next time. Because the stroking extrusion device is fixed on the mop bucket, it can only be rinsed above the stroking extrusion device during rinsing, and the bottom of the stroking extrusion device is not easy to be cleaned. 2. Since the mouth-squeezing device is fixed on the mop bucket and covers half of the opening of the mop bucket, the dirty water in the bucket can only be poured toward one side (the part not covered by the mouth-squeezing device) during pouring, which is inconvenient.

[0003] In view of the above situation, a Chinese utility model patent "A Cleaning Bucket" with patent number CN201620815462.3 (publication number CN206080447U) discloses a cleaning bucket with a water squeezing mechanism (squeezing device) fixed on a handle, and the water squeezing mechanism has a socket for inserting a mop so that the hand can move to dehydrate. However, the cleaning bucket still has the following defects: when squeezing water, the handle needs to be erected, and the water squeezing mechanism is located above the barrel body and has a certain distance from the opening of the barrel body. Because the water squeezing mechanism is suspended in the air, the dirty water squeezed out during squeezing is easy to splash everywhere, thereby dirtying the ground or the operator.

[0004] In summary, the existing cleaning tools for cleaning and drying mops can be further improved. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a mop cleaning tool which is conducive to cleaning the front and back sides of the mop mouth water squeezing structure in view of the above-mentioned existing technical status. The cleaning tool makes it difficult for dirty water to splash during the squeezing process and is convenient to pour out the dirty water.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: a mop cleaning tool, comprising a mop bucket and a mop head rotatably connected to the lower end of a mop rod, a wiping object being arranged on the mop head, and a handle being hinged on the mop bucket, characterized in that: a stroking water squeezing structure is arranged on the handle, the stroking water squeezing structure has an extrusion hole for the mop head to pass through and move up and down, an extrusion component for squeezing the wiping object is arranged in the extrusion hole; an unlockable locking structure is arranged between the handle and the mop bucket, and when the handle falls down to a horizontal state, the locking structure can lock the handle and the mop bucket together, and the extrusion hole is for the mop head to pass through.

[0007] Preferably, the locking structure is triggered by the mop head entering the extrusion hole to lock the handle and the mop bucket together. When the mop head leaves the extrusion hole, the locking structure is automatically unlocked and the handle can be pulled up. This solution can realize the automatic locking and unlocking function, which is beneficial to the cleaning operation. During operation, you only need to put the handle down. During the cleaning operation, the mop head enters the extrusion hole and the locking structure automatically completes the locking. In this way, when the mop head moves up and down in the extrusion hole, the handle will not swing relative to the mop bucket, ensuring normal cleaning operation; after the cleaning operation is completed, the mop head leaves the extrusion hole, the locking structure is unlocked, and the handle can be pulled up, which is convenient for picking up the mop bucket to dump dirty water. Of course, the locking and unlocking of the locking structure can also be operated manually.

[0008] In order to realize automatic locking and unlocking, the following structure can be specifically adopted. The above locking structure includes a locking block that can be displaced on the handle, and a lock hole that is provided on the mop bucket for the locking block to be inserted. The locking block is kept displaced toward the inside of the extrusion hole by the action of the elastic member; when the mop head enters the extrusion hole, the locking block is triggered by the mop head to displace toward the outside of the extrusion hole until the outer end of the locking block passes through the side wall of the handle and is inserted into the lock hole to complete the locking; when the mop head is out of the extrusion hole, the locking block is reset under the action of the elastic member, and the outer end of the locking block is out of the lock hole to complete the unlocking. The structure can be completed by the cooperation of the elastic member, the locking block and the lock hole, and the structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0009] The locking block may be displaced in various ways. Preferably, the locking block is constrained on the handle so that it can slide left and right, or the locking block is hinged on the handle so that it can swing left and right.

[0010] In order to facilitate the mop head to trigger the locking block, the top surface of the inner end of the locking block is an inclined surface. In order to lock the handle and the mop bucket more securely, there are two locking blocks, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the extrusion hole.

[0011] In a further improvement, the extrusion hole is directly formed on the handle, the bottom of the handle is provided with a cavity arranged around the extrusion hole, a cover is fixed in the cavity, the locking block is arranged in the cover and can be displaced, and the elastic member is arranged in the cover. This facilitates production and reduces costs, and no additional extrusion frame is required.

[0012] Preferably, when the mop head moves down to a position where it cannot move down further, the top of the mop head is still located in the extrusion opening and is in a state of triggering the locking block. This structural setting is more convenient for operation, because it can ensure that the mop head can trigger the locking structure during the cleaning process in any case, and there is no need to worry about the amplitude of the mop head moving up and down. If it is not set in this way, the mop head may not be able to lock the handle on the mop bucket when it moves up, which affects the use. This setting is particularly suitable for the situation where the locking block slides left and right. Of course, if the locking block is hinged on the handle and can swing left and right, the mop head can be moved down to completely disengage from the extrusion opening. Because the locking block has a long swing force arm, the mop head can be moved up with a small force to make the locking block swing and then lock.

[0013] Preferably, the extrusion opening is directly formed on the handle. Of course, it is also possible that a water squeezing rack is fixed to the handle and the extrusion opening is arranged on the water squeezing rack.

[0014] As a further improvement, the mop bucket includes a bucket body and a handle seat fixed at the mouth of the bucket body, the two ends of the handle are hinged at the middle of the handle seat, the inner wall of the handle seat is provided with a resting surface for the handle to rest on when it falls to a roughly horizontal state, and the locking structure is provided between the handle and the handle seat, and when the handle falls and rests on the resting surface, the locking structure can lock the handle and the handle seat together. This structure is convenient for modular assembly and can simplify the mold structure of the bucket body at the same time. The handle can be installed on the handle seat first, and then the handle seat with the handle installed can be directly assembled on the bucket body. In addition, the setting of the resting surface also has a limiting effect on the handle, avoiding that all the force is concentrated on the locking position, and at the same time, the handle can be kept in a horizontal state. In this example, the handle seat is regarded as a part of the mop bucket, and of course, it can also be made into a mop bucket without a handle seat.

[0015] In order to facilitate the cleaning of the wipes, the mop bucket is provided with a washboard tilted from bottom to top, and a hole for the mop head to pass through is provided on the washboard below the extrusion hole. The tilted washboard is convenient for the wipes to be cleaned on it, and the wipes rub back and forth on the rough surface of the washboard, which is conducive to cleaning the dirt (hair or residue stains) on the wipes. In addition, the holes on the washboard can avoid the moving position of the mop head.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are: the water-squeezing structure with a paddle mouth is arranged on the handle, and compared with the traditional method of fixing the squeezing frame on the mop bucket, the water-squeezing structure with a paddle mouth can swing with the handle, so that the front and back sides of the water-squeezing structure with a paddle mouth can be washed; what is more important is that a locking structure that can be unlocked is provided between the handle and the mop bucket, and when the handle is fallen down to a roughly horizontal state, the locking structure can lock the handle and the mop bucket together, with the squeezing hole facing upward, so that water will not splash during the squeezing process; after the locking structure is unlocked, the handle can be lifted, and the opening of the mop bucket is completely opened, so that it is convenient to dump dirty water; therefore, the present cleaning tool has both the advantages of the existing cleaning tool in which the water-squeezing structure with a paddle mouth is installed on the mop bucket, and the advantages of the cleaning tool in which the water-squeezing structure with a paddle mouth is installed on the handle.

[0029] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 8 FIG. 1 is a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0031] A mop cleaning tool comprises a mop bucket 1 and a mop head 3 rotatably connected to the lower end of a mop rod 2, a wiping material 4 is arranged on the mop head 3, and the wiping material 4 can be a mop or foam, and a handle 5 is hinged on the mop bucket 1, and the handle 5 is arched. The mop bucket 1 comprises a barrel body 11 and a handle seat 12 fixed to the mouth of the barrel body 11, and both ends of the handle 5 are hinged to the middle of the handle seat 12, and the inner wall of the handle seat 12 is provided with a resting surface 121 for the handle 5 to rest when it falls to a horizontal (approximately horizontal) state.

[0032] The handle 5 is provided with a water-squeezing structure, which has an extrusion hole 6 for the mop head 3 to pass through and move up and down, and a squeezing component 7 for squeezing the wiping material 4 is provided in the extrusion hole 6; an unlockable locking structure is provided between the handle 5 and the mop bucket 1, and when the handle 5 falls down to a roughly horizontal state, the locking structure can lock the handle 5 and the mop bucket 1 together, and the squeezing hole 6 is generally facing upward to wait for the mop head 3 to pass through.

[0033] Specifically, the locking structure of this embodiment is arranged between the handle 5 and the handle seat 12. When the handle 5 is down and placed on the placing surface 121, the locking structure can lock the handle 5 and the handle seat 12 together. The locking structure is triggered by the mop head 3 entering the extrusion opening 6 to lock the handle 5 and the mop bucket 1 together. When the mop head 3 leaves the extrusion opening 6, the locking structure is automatically unlocked, and the handle 5 can be pulled up and lifted.

[0034] The locking structure includes a locking block 8 which is disposed on the handle 5 and can be displaced, and a locking hole 9 which is disposed on the handle seat 12 and is inserted into the locking block 8. The locking block 8 is kept displaced toward the inside of the extrusion hole 6 by the action of the elastic member 10. When the mop head 3 enters the extrusion hole, the locking block 8 is triggered by the mop head 3 to displace toward the outside of the extrusion hole 6 until the outer end of the locking block 8 passes through the side wall of the handle 5 and is inserted into the locking hole 9 to complete the locking. When the mop head 3 is separated from the extrusion hole, the locking block 8 is reset under the action of the elastic member 10, and the outer end of the locking block 8 is separated from the locking hole 9 to complete the unlocking.

[0035] The locking block 8 in this embodiment is constrained on the handle 5 and can slide left and right. The inner end of the locking block 8 can extend into the side wall of the extrusion hole 6, and the outer end can pass through the side wall of the handle 5, and the locking block 8 is kept in the tendency of extending into the extrusion hole 6 by the action of the elastic member 10; when the mop head 3 enters the extrusion hole 6, the locking block 8 is triggered by the mop head 3 to move outward until the outer end of the locking block 8 passes through the side wall of the handle 5 and is inserted into the locking hole 9 to complete the locking; when the mop head 3 is separated from the extrusion hole 6, the locking block 8 is reset under the action of the elastic member 10, and the outer end of the locking block 8 is separated from the locking hole 9 to complete the unlocking.

[0036] The top surface of the inner end of the locking block 8 is an inclined surface 81 . There are two locking blocks 8 , which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the extrusion opening 6 .

[0037] The extrusion opening 6 is directly formed on the handle 5, and a concave cavity 51 arranged around the extrusion opening 6 is provided at the bottom of the handle 5, a cover 52 is fixed in the concave cavity 51, a locking block 8 is arranged in the cover 52 and can be displaced, and an elastic member 10 is arranged in the cover 52. When the mop head 3 moves down to a position where it cannot move down further, the top of the mop head 3 is still located in the extrusion opening 6 and is in a state of triggering the locking block 8.

[0038] A washboard 13 is provided in the mop bucket 1 and is tilted upward from bottom to top. A through hole 131 is provided on the washboard 13 below the extrusion opening 6 for the mop head to pass through.

[0039] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the barrel body 11 is filled with water, and the dirty mop head 3 is rubbed on the washboard 13 to remove the dirt. Then, the handle 5 is tilted down to a roughly horizontal state, and the resting surface 121 on which the handle 5 is placed is placed, and the squeezing hole 6 is facing upward to wait for the mop head 3 to pass through. When the mop head 3 enters the squeezing hole 6, the locking block 8 is triggered by the mop head 3 to move outward until the outer end of the locking block 8 passes through the side wall of the handle 5 and is inserted into the locking hole 9 to complete the locking. The mop head 3 is moved up and down reciprocatingly, and the squeezing component 7 squeezes the wiped material to complete the squeezing; when the mop head 3 is separated from the squeezing hole 6, the locking block 8 is reset under the action of the elastic member 10, and the outer end of the locking block 8 is separated from the locking hole 9 to complete the unlocking, so that the handle 5 can be swung, the handle 5 can be lifted, and the opening of the mop bucket 1 is completely open, which is convenient for dumping dirty water; Therefore, the cleaning tool has the advantages of both the existing cleaning tool in which the water squeezing structure is installed on the mop bucket and the cleaning tool in which the water squeezing structure is installed on the handle. Figure 8 As shown, the water squeezing structure at the scoop mouth can swing with the handle 5, so that the front and back sides of the water squeezing structure at the scoop mouth can be washed.

[0040] like Figures 9 to 12 FIG. 2 is a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that:

[0042] The locking block 8 is hinged on the handle 5 and can swing left and right. The upper end of the locking block 8 has a protruding locking portion 81. The handle seat 12 is provided with a locking hole 9 for the locking portion 81 to be inserted. The locking block 8 is acted on by the elastic member 10 to keep the upper end of the locking block 8 in a tendency to swing inwards. When the mop head 3 enters the extrusion opening 6, the locking block 8 is triggered by the mop head 3 to swing outwards at its upper end until the locking portion 81 on the locking block 8 passes through the side wall of the handle 5 and is inserted into the locking hole 9 to complete the locking. When the mop head 3 is separated from the extrusion opening 6, the upper end of the locking block 8 swings inwards under the action of the elastic member 10, and the locking portion 82 on the locking block 8 is separated from the locking hole 9 to complete the unlocking.

[0043] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: Fig.10 , 11 As shown, the barrel body 11 is filled with water, and the dirty mop head 3 is rubbed on the washboard 13 to remove the dirt. Then, the handle 5 is tilted down to a roughly horizontal state, and the resting surface 121 on which the handle 5 is placed is placed, and the squeezing hole 6 faces upward to wait for the mop head 3 to pass through. When the mop head 3 enters the squeezing hole 6, the locking block 8 is triggered by the mop head 3 to swing outward at its upper end until the locking portion 82 on the locking block 8 passes through the side wall of the handle 5 and is inserted into the locking hole 9 to complete the locking. The mop head 3 is moved up and down reciprocatingly, and the squeezing component 7 squeezes the wiped material to complete the squeezing; when the mop head 3 is separated from the squeezing hole 6, the locking block 8 is swung inward at its upper end under the action of the elastic member 10, and the locking portion 82 on the locking block 8 is separated from the locking hole 9 to complete the unlocking. In this way, the handle 5 can be swung to lift the mop bucket 1 to pour water. The water squeezing structure at the scooping mouth can swing along with the handle 5, so that the front and back sides of the water squeezing structure at the scooping mouth can be washed.
