Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical fields of electric mops, floor scrubbers, vacuum cleaners, sweepers, etc., and specifically to a rotating mop and cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Among cleaning devices such as electric mops, floor scrubbers, vacuum cleaners, and sweepers, spin mops are a crucial technology for improving cleaning performance. The basic working principle of a spin mop is that the rotating mop makes contact with the surface being cleaned, cleaning it through this contact. Because the contact area between the spin mop and the floor is much larger than that of a regular roller brush, it is highly efficient and produces better cleaning results. However, further improvements to the cleaning performance of spin mops are of great significance.

[0003] To further improve the cleaning performance of rotary mops, an electrically heated mop is proposed. This mop utilizes a heated rotary mop and includes a mop handle, a mop head connected to the lower end of the handle, and a handle connected to the top of the handle. The mop head includes a base assembly and a cleaning cloth retaining plate. The base assembly houses electrical components. The cleaning cloth retaining plate is connected to the bottom of the base assembly, and the cleaning cloth for cleaning the floor is attached to the bottom surface of the retaining plate. A heating element is positioned between the retaining plate and the cleaning cloth. This structure, with a heating element between the retaining plate and the cleaning cloth, requires the heating element to rotate with the cleaning cloth. This results in a relatively complex structure and necessitates consideration of heat conduction during rotation. Furthermore, it increases the thickness of the rotary mop; controlling the overall thickness necessitates reducing the thickness of the cleaning cloth, which is detrimental to cleaning performance.

[0004] The applicant has been deeply involved in the cleaning field. Through the applicant's unremitting research, the applicant will propose a rotating mop in this application, which greatly reduces the structural mutual restriction between the rotating cleaning part and the electric heating body, which is conducive to reducing structural complexity and cost. In addition, the electric heating body can be reused. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and propose a rotating mop that greatly reduces the structural mutual restriction between the rotating cleaning part and the electric heating element, which is beneficial to reducing structural complexity and cost. In addition, the electric heating element can be reused. The present invention also proposes a cleaning device equipped with the aforementioned rotating mop.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the present invention proposes a rotating mop, including a mounting bracket, a rotating cleaning part and an electric heating element. The electric heating element is used to heat the rotating cleaning part. The electric heating element is disposed at the mounting bracket, which is provided with a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is used to drive the rotating cleaning part to rotate relative to the mounting bracket. When the rotating cleaning part is removed, the electric heating element remains on the mounting bracket.

[0007] As an improvement, the rotating cleaning section includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and a peripheral surface located between the top surface and the bottom surface, and the heat output portion of the electric heating element is located on the top surface and / or the peripheral surface and / or the bottom surface.

[0008] As an improvement, the heat output portion of the electric heating element provides contact heating and / or gap heating and / or radiant heating to the rotating cleaning part.

[0009] As an improvement, the electric heating element is an arc-shaped structure arranged around the rotation direction of the rotating cleaning part.

[0010] As an improvement, the electric heating element is mounted on a mounting bracket and has an exposed portion, which serves as the heat output portion of the electric heating element.

[0011] As an improvement, the exposed portion of the electric heating element and the rotating cleaning part are distributed vertically.

[0012] As an improvement, the portion of the mounting bracket located on the upper side of the rotating cleaning section has a downward-facing opening, and an electric heating element is installed inside the opening, with an exposed portion of the electric heating element through the opening.

[0013] As an improvement, the electric heating element includes, from top to bottom, an electric heating part and a heat-conducting part, with the heat-conducting part being the exposed part.

[0014] As an improvement, the heat output section includes a heat-conducting plate, which is fixed to the mounting bracket and is thermally connected to the electric heating part.

[0015] As an improvement, the mounting bracket is provided with a connecting bracket, which includes an upper mounting groove and a lower mounting groove, which are connected vertically.

[0019] As an improvement, the thermally conductive connector uses a thermally conductive adhesive layer.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages when adopting the above structure: The present invention uses an electric heating element mounted on a mounting bracket, which has a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft drives the rotating cleaning part to rotate relative to the mounting bracket. When the rotating cleaning part is removed, the electric heating element remains on the mounting bracket. With this design, the electric heating element is not mounted on the rotating cleaning part; it can be fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket. Of course, the electric heating element can still move to some extent, but this movement refers to its movement on the mounting bracket, not its movement along with the rotating cleaning part due to its mounting position. Therefore, the present invention is significantly different from previous products, greatly reducing the structural mutual constraints between the rotating cleaning part and the electric heating element, which helps to reduce structural complexity and cost. Furthermore, the electric heating element can occupy installation space on one side of the mounting bracket, thus preventing it from occupying space in the rotating cleaning part. Therefore, with the same overall structural thickness as previous products, it helps to ensure the thickness of the rotating cleaning part. Additionally, when the rotating cleaning part is removed, the electric heating element remains on the mounting bracket, allowing for reuse.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention also proposes a cleaning device, which includes the aforementioned rotating mop.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages when adopting the above structure: the cleaning device using the rotating mop is conducive to simplifying the structure and controlling the structural dimensions. In addition, it is conducive to ensuring the thickness of the rotating cleaning part and has better cleaning performance. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement it. The embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will arise for those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.

[0033] The present invention will now be described in further detail:

[0034] The present invention provides a cleaning device comprising the aforementioned rotating mop.

[0035] Cleaning devices include electric mops, vacuum cleaner heads, sweepers, floor scrubbers, etc. The cleaning devices referred to in this application generally refer to household or small cleaning devices. This is also a feature of the rotating mop of this invention. The overall structural dimensions are well controlled, making it suitable for small cleaning devices.

[0036] The example given in this case is... Figure 1 , 2 The image shows a cleaning device, namely a vacuum cleaner head, which provides two rotating cleaning parts 3.

[0037] In this example, the rotating cleaning section 3 is mainly composed of cleaning material and does not have a cleaning section fixing plate covering the entire top of the rotating cleaning section 3. The top of the rotating cleaning section 3 is mainly supported by the lower side of the mounting bracket 1. This design, with the rotating cleaning section 3 primarily composed of cleaning material, allows for greater thickness and better cleaning performance. The rotating connection between the rotating cleaning section 3 and the mounting bracket 1 mainly includes a rotating part 11 and a rotating shaft 12. The rotating cleaning section 3 is equipped with a rotating part 11, which is detachably connected to the rotating shaft 12. Figure 3 , 5 As shown, the diameter of the rotating part 11 is much smaller than the diameter of the rotating cleaning part 3, and the rotating part 11 is centrally located, which allows the rotating cleaning part 3 to provide more material available for cleaning.

[0038] The present invention provides a rotating mop, comprising a mounting bracket 1, a rotating cleaning part 3, and an electric heating element. The rotating cleaning part 3 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 1. The electric heating element is used to heat the rotating cleaning part 3. The electric heating element is connected to the mounting bracket 1. The rotating cleaning part 3 can rotate relative to the electric heating element. When the rotating cleaning part 3 is removed, the electric heating element remains on the mounting bracket 1.

[0039] In this example, the electric heating element is preferably fixedly mounted in the mounting bracket 1, and the electric heating element cannot move at the mounting bracket 1. This design can greatly simplify the structure. Of course, the electric heating element can also move to a certain extent with the rotating cleaning part 3, but this movement refers to the movement of the electric heating element at the mounting bracket 1, and is not a need to move together with the rotating cleaning part 3 because it is mounted on the rotating cleaning part 3. Therefore, the present invention is significantly different from previous products.

[0040] The rotating cleaning section 3 includes a top surface 5, a bottom surface 6, and a peripheral surface 7 located between the top surface 5 and the bottom surface 6. The heat output portion of the electric heating element is located on the top surface 5 and / or the peripheral surface 7 and / or the bottom surface 6. This design, on the one hand, facilitates rapid heating of the surface of the rotating cleaning section 3, thereby enabling efficient utilization of heat energy. In other words, the present invention aims to ensure that the part of the rotating cleaning section 3 in contact with the surface being cleaned is hot, while preventing heat accumulation inside the rotating cleaning section 3. This is beneficial for energy saving and consumption reduction, and also helps to avoid damage and deformation inside the rotating cleaning section 3. On the other hand, it facilitates the placement of the heat output portion of the electric heating element, which helps to simplify the structure, reduce costs, and facilitate production and assembly.

[0041] The heat output portion of the electric heating element heats the rotating cleaning section 3 in contact with and / or through gaps and / or radiantly. In this example, to obtain better support for the top surface 5, the heat output portion of the electric heating element is located on and in contact with the top surface 5. In addition, because the heat output portion of the electric heating element is located on the top surface 5, the structure is easier to set up, the contact surface can be larger, and the contact is beneficial for heating the rotating cleaning section 3.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the electric heating element is an arc-shaped structure arranged around the rotation direction of the rotating cleaning part 3. This is beneficial for heat conduction and also facilitates the rotation of the rotating cleaning part 3, reducing the frictional impact of the electric heating element on the rotating cleaning part 3.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the electric heating element is mounted on the mounting bracket 1 and has an exposed portion, which serves as the heat output portion of the electric heating element. This design results in a simple and compact structure with high thermal conductivity, while also avoiding encroachment on the thickness space of the rotating cleaning section 3.

[0044] The exposed portion of the electric heating element is positioned vertically above the rotating cleaning part 3. This achieves the purpose of supporting and heating the top surface 5.

[0045] The mounting bracket 1, located on the upper side of the rotating cleaning section 3, has a downward-facing opening. An electric heating element is housed within this opening, with an exposed portion of the heating element passing through it. This design results in a simple and compact structure, facilitating manufacturing.

[0046] The electric heating element, from top to bottom, includes an electric heating part 4 and a heat-conducting part, with the heat-conducting part being the exposed part. This design has several advantages. First, the heat-conducting part can be made of a wear-resistant material, while the electric heating part 4 only needs to generate heat, reducing the requirements on the electric heating part 4, which helps lower costs while ensuring performance. Second, the heat-conducting part can also be used to isolate the liquid, preventing direct contact between the liquid and the electric heating part 4, thus protecting the electric heating part 4 and ensuring safe use.

[0047] The heat output section includes a heat-conducting plate 8, which is fixed to the mounting bracket 1 and thermally connected to the electric heating element 4. The heat-conducting plate 8 is the aforementioned heat-conducting part. Using the heat-conducting plate 8 facilitates flatness, reduces friction, and provides better support for the rotating cleaning part 3. It also facilitates connection with the mounting bracket 1.

[0048] The mounting bracket 1 is provided with a connecting bracket 9, which includes an upper mounting slot and a lower mounting slot, which are connected vertically. The upper mounting slot is used to mount the electric heating element 4, and the lower mounting slot is used to mount the heat-conducting plate 8. This design is simple and compact, facilitating production and assembly. Furthermore, it facilitates the connection between the electric heating element 4 and the heat-conducting plate 8. The aforementioned design, combined with the opening, allows the connecting bracket 9, the electric heating element 4, and the heat-conducting plate 8 to form an independent heating module. This heating module is then connected to the mounting bracket 1 through the opening. This design further facilitates production and assembly and ensures production quality.

[0049] A heat-conducting connector is provided between the electric heating element 4 and the heat-conducting plate 8. This design facilitates a better connection between the electric heating element 4 and the heat-conducting plate 8, thereby preventing the heat-conducting plate 8 from detaching.

[0050] The heat-conducting plate 8 is made of metal, and a heat-conducting layer 10 is provided between the metal plate and the electric heating part 4. This structure is simple and reliable.

[0051] The thermally conductive layer 10 serves as a thermally conductive connector. This simplifies the structure and facilitates manufacturing.

[0052] The thermally conductive connector uses a thermally conductive adhesive layer. This achieves the function of thermally conductive connection while also helping to reduce the structural thickness.

[0053] Although the heat output section is preferably located on the top surface 5 in this example, it can also be located on the peripheral surface 7 and / or the bottom surface 6. Similarly, the electric heating section 4 does not necessarily have to be located above the rotating cleaning section 3. In this example, the electric heating section 4 is preferably located above the rotating cleaning section 3, thereby simplifying the structure and shortening the heat conduction path.

[0054] To better protect the heating module, a protective cover 14 is also included. The conductor 13 of the electric heating part 4 passes through the protective cover 14 and is used for electrical connection to an external power source. Figure 7 As shown, Figure 1 Removing the top cover 2 exposes the internal structure.

[0055] The electric heating element 4 can adopt various structures, such as PTC heating. Any electric heating element 4 that is suitable for this invention can be applied to this invention.

[0056] When understanding this invention, the above structure may be referred to other embodiments / appendices if necessary. Figure 1 And that is understood, so I will not elaborate further here.

[0057] The above description is merely an illustrative embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features, and principles described in the scope of protection of the present invention are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
