Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mops, and in particular to a wringer-up sponge mop. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, the PVC-coated mop is a common household item. After washing, the PVC-coated head can be folded in half and squeezed to remove water by operating the handle, making it convenient and quick to use.

[0003] For example, the authorization announcement number CN206007176U discloses a squeezing sponge mop, the mop head includes a sponge head and a support body, the corresponding ends of the flaps are respectively hinged to the connector, the connector is hinged to the handle set on the mop handle through the pull strip passing through the support body; the lower parts of both sides of the support body are respectively hinged to the front of the corresponding folding sliding squeezing block, the middle part of the folding sliding squeezing block is hinged to the sliding hole provided on the flap, and the tail of the folding sliding squeezing block is formed into a contact surface for secondary squeezing of the sponge head. This structure involves pulling the cotton head into the support body and relying on the folding and sliding wringer block for support to fold and wring out water. In this case, the folding and sliding wringer block needs to be hinged as far out as possible on the outer side of the support body, which greatly increases the width of the support body. Moreover, the support body needs to be designed in a U-shape. However, an excessively large support body will increase the weight and cost of the mop. Furthermore, when mopping the floor, the support body and the folding and sliding wringer block will prevent the mop from reaching lower areas. The mop handle can only be brought close to the ground and cleaned at a small angle, which is very inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a wringer mop that overcomes the shortcomings of existing wringer mops, such as excessive weight, high cost and inconvenience of use due to the excessively large frame.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To solve the aforementioned technical problem, the present invention provides a wringer for sponge mops, comprising a mop head and a mop handle connected to each other. The mop head includes a support frame, and a flap plate is symmetrically hinged to the lower end of the support frame. A sponge head is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the flap plate. A drive mechanism is symmetrically mounted on the upper side of the flap plate. The drive mechanism includes a drive unit and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly includes a connecting rod I and a connecting rod II, one end of which is hinged to each other. The other end of connecting rod I is hinged to the outer end of the support frame, and the other end of connecting rod II is hinged to the outer end of the flap plate. When wringing out water, the drive unit drives the linkage assembly to rotate downwards, and connecting rod I and connecting rod II unfold, causing the two flap plates to move towards the center, thereby squeezing out water from the sponge head.

[0008] Furthermore, the drive unit includes a drive frame and a drive rod connected at one end to the drive frame, the other end of the drive rod being slidably or rotatably connected to the linkage assembly. The drive frame is sleeved on the mop handle, and the drive rods are symmetrically hinged to both sides of the drive frame. The ends of the drive rods are hinged to the inner ends of the corresponding linkage I. When squeezing water, the two linkages I are driven to rotate downward by sliding the drive frame down.

[0009] Furthermore, the support frame is rectangular box-shaped, with an internal accommodating space, a first through hole at the lower end, and a second through hole symmetrically arranged at the upper end; in use, the connecting rod I is closed in the second through hole, the connecting rod II is folded and stored in the accommodating space, and the two flaps unfold to cover the first through hole.

[0010] Furthermore, limit sliders are symmetrically installed on both sides of the center of the support frame, and the limit sliders can slide relative to the support frame; a locking head is provided at the end of the limit slider facing the connecting rod I, and a flange is provided on the connecting rod I to cooperate with the locking head; in use, the flange abuts against the locking head, thereby restricting the downward rotation of the connecting rod I; a spring is installed between the limit slider and the support frame, and the spring always makes the locking head tend to move towards the connecting rod I.

[0011] Furthermore, elastic locking heads are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center of the support frame, and a flange is provided on the connecting rod I to cooperate with the elastic locking heads; in use, the flange abuts against the elastic locking heads, thereby restricting the downward rotation of the connecting rod I.

[0012] Furthermore, multiple reinforcing ribs are provided at the end of the connecting rod I facing the connecting rod II; in the dewatering state, when the drive frame slides to the lower limit, the reinforcing ribs abut against the connecting rod II.

[0013] Furthermore, the support frame has connecting ears symmetrically arranged at the lower center, and a connecting seat is installed between the two connecting ears. First hinge seats are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting seat, and the end of the flap plate is correspondingly hinged between the two first hinge seats. A hanging plate is installed on the flap plate, and the cotton head is pasted and fixed on the hanging plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner end of connecting rod I is symmetrically provided with a second hinge seat, the outer end of the flap plate is symmetrically provided with a third hinge seat, one end of connecting rod II is hinged between two second hinge seats, and the other end is hinged between two third hinge seats. The inner end of connecting rod I is symmetrically provided with a fourth hinge seat, the drive frame is symmetrically provided with hinge blocks, one end of the drive rod is hinged between two fourth hinge seats, and the other end is hinged within the corresponding hinge block.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] This invention provides a wringer mop that uses a sliding drive frame to drive two connecting rods I downwards. Connecting rods I and II unfold, causing two flaps to move towards the center, thus squeezing water from the sponge head. This double-link squeezing method replaces the traditional method, significantly reducing the size of the support frame and the overall weight and cost of the mop. Furthermore, connecting rod I acts as a lever, making the support frame small and effortless. In use, both connecting rods I and II can be retracted into the support frame, without increasing its size, allowing it to be inserted into low-lying areas for greater convenience. This invention overcomes the shortcomings of existing wringer mops, which suffer from excessive weight, high cost, and inconvenience due to overly large frames. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] See Figures 1 to 8 This embodiment provides a wringer mop, including a mop head 1 and a mop handle 2 connected to each other. The mop head 1 includes a support frame 11, with a flap 12 symmetrically hinged to the lower end of the support frame 11. A sponge head 13 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the flap 12. The support frame 11 has symmetrically arranged connecting ears 115 at its lower end, and a connecting seat 18 is installed between the two connecting ears 115. First hinge seats 181 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting seat 18, and the ends of the flap 12 are correspondingly hinged between the two first hinge seats 181. An adhesive plate 121 is installed at the lower end of the flap 12, and the sponge head 13 is glued and fixed to the adhesive plate 121.

[0032] See Figures 1 to 4 A drive mechanism is symmetrically mounted on the upper side of the flap 12. The drive mechanism includes a drive unit and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly includes a connecting rod I 14 and a connecting rod II 15, which are hinged to each other at one end. The other end of connecting rod I 14 is hinged to the outer end of the support frame 11, and the other end of connecting rod II 15 is hinged to the outer end of the flap 12. When squeezing water, the drive unit drives the linkage assembly to rotate downward, and connecting rods I 14 and II 15 unfold, causing the two flaps 12 to move closer to the center, thereby squeezing water from the cotton head 13. In this structure, one end of connecting rod I 14 is hinged to the outer end of the support frame 11, and the other end extends towards the inner side of the support frame 11. In use, connecting rod I 14 can be retracted into the support frame 11, avoiding the connection rod I 14 increasing the size of the support frame 11.

[0033] See Figure 3 and Figure 4The drive unit includes a drive frame 31 and a drive rod 32 connected to the drive frame 31 at one end. The other end of the drive rod 32 is slidably or rotatably connected to the connecting rod assembly. In this embodiment, the drive frame 31 is sleeved on the mop handle 2, and the drive rods 32 are symmetrically hinged on both sides of the drive frame 31. The ends of the drive rods 32 are hinged to the inner ends of the corresponding connecting rods I 14. When squeezing water, the two connecting rods I 14 are driven to rotate downward by sliding down the drive frame 31. In this structure, the connecting rods I 14 have a lever effect, making squeezing water easier.

[0034] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The inner end of connecting rod I 14 is symmetrically provided with a second hinge seat 143, and the outer end of the flap plate 12 is symmetrically provided with a third hinge seat 122. One end of connecting rod II 15 is hinged between two second hinge seats 143, and the other end is hinged between two third hinge seats 122. The inner end of connecting rod I 14 is symmetrically provided with a fourth hinge seat 144, and the drive frame 31 is symmetrically provided with hinge blocks 311. One end of the drive rod 32 is hinged between two fourth hinge seats 144, and the other end is hinged in the corresponding hinge block 311.

[0035] See Figures 5 to 7 The support frame 11 is a rectangular box shape, with a regular shape and small size. The support frame 11 has an internal receiving space 111, a first through hole 112 at the lower end, and symmetrically arranged second through holes 113 at the upper end. In use, connecting rod I 14 is closed within the second through hole 113, connecting rod II 15 is folded and stored within the receiving space 111, and the two flaps 12 unfold to cover the first through hole 112. In use, the connecting rod assembly can be retracted into the support frame 11, preventing the connecting rod assembly from adding extra support size, allowing it to be inserted into low-lying areas for easier use.

[0036] See Figures 6 to 8 The support frame 11 has symmetrically arranged elastic locking heads 114 on both sides of its center. The connecting rod I 14 has a flange 141 that mates with the elastic locking heads 114. In use, the flange 141 abuts against the elastic locking heads 114, thus restricting the downward rotation of the connecting rod I 14. Multiple reinforcing ribs 142 are provided at the end of the connecting rod I 14 facing the connecting rod II 15 to ensure the support strength of the connecting rod I 14, making the structure more stable and reliable. In the dewatering state, when the drive frame 31 slides to the lower limit, the reinforcing ribs 142 abut against the connecting rod II 15.

[0037] See Figure 3 The mop wringing process in this embodiment is as follows:

[0038] First, the drive frame 31 slides down. The drive frame 31 drives the two connecting rods I 14 to rotate via the drive rod 32. The connecting rods I 14 cause the elastic clip 114 to pop open and rotate downward. The connecting rods I 14 drive the connecting rod II 15 to rotate. The connecting rod II 15 drives the two flaps 12 to move closer to the middle, thereby squeezing water from the cotton head 13.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] The difference between the water-squeezing cotton mop provided in this embodiment and that in Embodiment 1 is that the limiting structure for the connecting rod I14 is different.

[0041] See Figures 9 to 11 In this embodiment, limit sliders 16 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the center of the support frame 11, and the limit sliders 16 can slide relative to the support frame 11; a locking head 161 is provided at the end of the limit slider 16 facing the connecting rod I 14, and a flange 141 that cooperates with the locking head 161 is provided on the connecting rod I 14; in the use state, the flange 141 abuts against the locking head 161, thereby restricting the connecting rod I 14 from rotating downward; a spring 17 is installed between the limit slider 16 and the support frame 11, and the spring 17 always makes the locking head 161 tend to move towards the connecting rod I 14.

[0042] The mop wringing process in this embodiment is as follows:

[0043] First, the drive frame 31 slides down. The drive frame 31 drives the two connecting rods I 14 to rotate through the drive rod 32. The connecting rods I 14 cause the clamp head 161 to slide and retract. The connecting rods I 14 rotate downwards and drive the connecting rods II 15 to rotate. The connecting rods II 15 drive the two flaps 12 to move closer to the middle, thereby squeezing water from the cotton head 13.

[0044] This invention provides a wringing mop for sponge pads. A downward drive frame drives two connecting rods I to rotate downwards. Connecting rods I and II unfold, causing two flaps to move towards the center, thus squeezing water from the sponge pad. This double-link squeezing method replaces the traditional method, significantly reducing the size of the support frame and the overall weight and cost of the mop. Furthermore, connecting rod I acts as a lever, making the support frame small and effortless. In use, both connecting rods I and II can be retracted into the support frame, without increasing its size, allowing it to be inserted into low-lying areas for greater convenience.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
