[0046] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to 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 providing a clearer and more explicit definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] Example 1: A mop cleaning tool, such as Figure 2 As shown, it includes a cleaning rack 1 and a cleaning basket 2. The cleaning basket 2 is provided with a guide seat 21 and is installed inside the mop bucket 3. The cleaning rack 1 can slide back and forth along the guide seat 21.

[0048] It also includes cleaning drive mechanisms, such as Figure 1 As shown, during cleaning, the cleaning drive mechanism drives the cleaning frame 1 to clean the mop head 51 back and forth along the guide seat. At this time, the mop head 51 and the cleaning basket 2 stop rotating relative to each other.

[0049] In this embodiment, the cleaning rack is located inside the cleaning basket 2. The cleaning rack 1 is in contact with the mop head 51. The mop head 51 is located inside the cleaning basket 2, and the mop head 51 is limited by the cleaning basket 2, so the mop head cannot slide inside the cleaning basket.

[0050] In a specific implementation, the cleaning rack 1 is a brush rack, the brush rack has a cleaning brush 11, the cleaning brush 11 is in contact with the mop head 51, the brush is fixed to the mounting strip, the guide seat 21 is provided with a mounting groove, and the mounting strip is installed in the mounting groove;

[0051] As an alternative to this embodiment, the cleaning rack can also be a scraping plate;

[0052] The cleaning rack 1 includes an upper scraper and side plates connected to both sides of the upper scraper. The upper scraper and side plates together form a U-shaped cleaning rack 1. The guide seat 21 is a protruding structure that matches the U-shaped structure so that the cleaning rack can slide along the guide seat.

[0053] like Figure 3 He Ru Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning drive mechanism includes a positioning disk 41, and the positioning disk 41 is provided with a guide post 411. The guide post 411 is eccentric to the positioning disk 41, as shown... Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning rack is provided with a guide groove 17, and the guide post 411 is inserted into the guide groove 17.

[0054] The cleaning basket 2 is rotatably connected to the base 31, and the base 31 is fixed to the positioning plate 41. Rotating the mop head 51 causes the cleaning basket 2 to rotate so that the cleaning rack 1 can clean the mop head 51 back and forth along the guide seat 21.

[0055] Because the mop head drives the cleaning basket to rotate during the cleaning process, it also plays a role in assisting the cleaning process.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the mop is placed in the cleaning basket 2 for cleaning, the mop handle 52 and the mop head 51 are relatively fixed to prevent rotation, and rotating the mop handle 52 causes the mop head 51 to rotate.

[0057] The base 31 is fixed to the mop bucket 3, and a bearing is provided between the cleaning basket 2 and the base 31.

[0058] The mop is a folding flat mop, which is inserted into the cleaning basket 2 during washing.

[0059] like Figure 6 As shown, the guide seat 21 is provided with a sliding groove 214, and the cleaning rack 1 is provided with a locking protrusion 13 that matches the sliding groove 214 to restrict the cleaning rack 1 from detaching from the cleaning basket 2.

[0060] To facilitate the back-and-forth sliding of the cleaning rack 1 along the guide seat 21, the cleaning rack 1 is equipped with a pulley 14. During the sliding process of the cleaning rack along the guide seat 21, the pulley 14 can slide on the surface of the cleaning rack 1.

[0061] Regarding the installation position of the pulley 14, in this embodiment the roller is located on the upper surface or side of the guide seat 21, but it is not limited to this. The roller can also be installed on the guide seat so that the pulley contacts the cleaning frame.

[0062] The working principle of Example 1 is as follows: The mop head is placed in the cleaning basket and the mop head is in contact with the cleaning frame. The mop handle is rotated, which drives the mop head to rotate. The mop head drives the cleaning basket to rotate, and the brush frame rotates at the same time. During the rotation of the cleaning basket, the positioning plate remains stationary. The guide groove of the brush frame slides under the action of the guide post of the positioning plate, so that the cleaning frame slides back and forth along the guide seat, and the cleaning brush cleans the mop head back and forth. Example

[0063] The difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 lies in the cleaning drive mechanism; the positioning disk 41 in embodiment 1 is fixed, while the positioning disk 41 in this embodiment 2 can rotate.

[0064] like Figure 8 As shown, the positioning disk 41 is rotatably connected to the base or the cleaning basket, the cleaning basket 2 is fixed to the base 31, and the center of the positioning disk 41 is provided with a rotating shaft 412. The rotating shaft 412 is opposite to the mop handle 52 and stops rotating. Rotating the mop handle 52 drives the positioning disk 41 to rotate so that the cleaning frame 1 cleans the mop head 51 back and forth along the guide seat 21.

[0065] To make the rotation of the rotating shaft 412 more stable, the rotating shaft 412 has a core at its center, and the core is connected to the base or the cleaning basket;

[0066] like Figure 10 As shown, there are two guide grooves 17, and the guide grooves 17 are provided with flared openings 171. A clearance opening is formed between the two flared openings 171. The setting of the flared openings 171 facilitates the guide post 411 to slide into the guide grooves 17.

[0067] In this embodiment, as Figure 9 The mop handle 52 is connected to the rotating component 521, the rotating component 521 is rotatably connected to the mop head 51, the rotating component 521 is provided with a connecting hole 522, and the rotating shaft 412 is inserted into the connecting hole 522.

[0068] To facilitate the rotation of the shaft 412 by the mop handle 52, the inner wall of the connecting hole 522 is provided with a groove, and the shaft 412 is provided with an anti-slip strip 4121 that matches the groove.

[0069] like Figure 7 As shown, the brush holder is provided with a clearance slot 18, and the rotating shaft 412 passes through the clearance slot 18 and is inserted into the connecting hole 522.

[0070] The working principle of Example 2 is as follows: The mop head is placed in the cleaning basket and the mop head is in contact with the cleaning frame. The mop head is rotatably connected to the mop handle. When the mop handle is rotated, neither the mop head nor the cleaning basket rotates. The mop handle drives the positioning plate to rotate through the rotating shaft. The guide post of the positioning plate slides in the guide groove, causing the brush holder to slide back and forth along the guide seat. The cleaning brush cleans the mop head back and forth. Example

[0071] The difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 1 lies in the cleaning drive mechanism, the specific structure of which is as follows:

[0072] like Figure 12 As shown, the cleaning drive mechanism includes a squeezing section 15, and the cleaning basket 2 is rotatably connected to the base 31. The squeezing section 15 is an extension structure formed by extending outward from the cleaning frame 1. It also includes a spring 16, which is located between the cleaning frame 1 and the guide seat 21. Rotating the mop head 51 drives the cleaning basket 2 to rotate. Figure 11 As shown, the squeezing section 15 squeezes against the inner wall of the mop bucket 3, causing the cleaning frame 1 to clean the mop head 51.

[0073] In order to facilitate the sliding of the squeezing section 15 on the inner wall of the mop bucket 3 and reduce resistance, the squeezing section 15 is equipped with a guide wheel 151. During the rotation of the cleaning frame 1, the guide wheel 151 contacts the inner wall of the mop bucket 3.

[0074] In this embodiment, springs may not be required. Instead, several squeezing sections are provided on the cleaning frame. The back-and-forth movement of the cleaning frame is achieved through the squeezing action of these sections.

[0075] In specific implementation, such as Figure 13As shown, the guide seat 21 is provided with a sliding groove 213, the cleaning rack 1 is provided with a protrusion 12, the spring 16 is located between the protrusion 12 and the side wall of the sliding groove 213, and the mop bucket is provided with a pressure surface 32 and a release position 33. During the rotation of the cleaning basket, the squeezing section squeezes the pressure surface, driving the cleaning rack 1 to clean the mop head. When the squeezing section is in the release position, the squeezing section will separate from the inner wall of the mop bucket. Under the action of the spring 16, the cleaning rack 1 is subjected to the opposite force of the spring 16 to the force of the squeezing section 15, thereby causing the cleaning rack 1 to clean the mop head 51 back and forth along the guide seat 21.

[0076] In this embodiment, the two ends of the connecting shaft 6 are connected to the cleaning basket 2 and the base 31 respectively, so that the cleaning basket 2 is rotatably connected to the base 31.

[0077] The working principle of Example 3 is as follows: The mop head is placed in the cleaning basket and the mop head is in contact with the cleaning frame. The mop handle is rotated, which drives the mop head to rotate. The mop head drives the cleaning basket to rotate, and the brush frame rotates at the same time. During the rotation of the cleaning basket, the guide wheel of the squeezing section contacts the inner wall of the mop bucket, which drives the cleaning frame to clean the mop head. When the guide wheel is separated from the inner wall of the mop bucket, the cleaning frame is subjected to the opposite force of the spring under the action of the spring, which is opposite to the force it receives when the squeezing section is squeezing. This drives the cleaning frame to clean the mop again, so that the cleaning frame slides back and forth along the guide seat, and the cleaning brush cleans the mop head back and forth.

[0078] The above are merely embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the content of the present invention specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
