Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of cleaning tools, and in particular to a mop cleaning method and a mop bucket. Background Art

[0002] Most of the mop buckets currently on the market only have the function of containing water. A proper amount of water is put into the mop bucket, and the mop is placed in the bucket. The mop is cleaned by soaking the mop, etc., which has a poor cleaning effect on the mop. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defect of poor cleaning effect of the mop in the prior art and to provide a mop cleaning method and a mop bucket.

[0004] The present invention solves the above technical problems through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A mop cleaning method, which uses a mop bucket to clean the mop, the mop bucket includes a water pump, a water delivery channel, a water storage chamber and a pressure storage device, the water pump pressurizes water by stepping on a pedal, the water storage chamber is located in the mop bucket body, the channel cross-sectional area of ​​the water storage chamber is larger than the channel cross-sectional area of ​​the water delivery channel, a water outlet is provided on the side wall of the water storage chamber, the water delivery channel is connected to the water storage chamber, the water delivery channel delivers water to a cleaning area in the mop bucket through the water outlet, the pressure storage device is connected to the water delivery channel, and the pressure storage device enables the water delivery channel to continue to spray water toward the cleaning area after the pedal stops being stepped on;

[0006] The cleaning method of the mop comprises the following steps:

[0007] S1: folding the mop and extending it vertically into the cleaning area in the mop bucket;

[0008] S2: continuously stepping on the foot pedal for a first preset time to pressurize the water to the cleaning area and continuously spray the water onto the cleaning surface of the mop;

[0009] S3: After stopping stepping on the pedal, during the second preset time when the pressure storage device causes the water delivery channel to continue spraying water, the mop is moved back and forth in the vertical direction so that different positions of the cleaning surface are directly sprayed and cleaned by water.

[0010] In the technical solution, after the mop is folded and inserted into the mop bucket, the foot pedal is continuously stepped on for a first preset time (a preset time) so that the water pump can continuously pressurize the water and allow the water to enter the cleaning area in the mop bucket and spray onto the cleaning surface of the mop. Then the foot pedal is stopped, and the mop is moved back and forth in the vertical direction for a second preset time while the pressure storage device allows the water delivery channel to continue to spray water. Since the pressure storage device allows the water delivery channel to continue to spray water after the foot pedal is stopped, moving the mop up and down after the foot pedal is stopped can allow different positions of the cleaning surface to be sprayed with water, thereby realizing the function of washing the mop with moving water, thereby better cleaning the mop. Since the pressure storage device has the function of extending the water delivery channel spraying time, the user can separate the foot pedal and the action of moving the mop up and down, which reduces the difficulty of operation and saves the user's effort.

[0011] Preferably, the water pump pressurizes the water by using the lever principle when stepping on the pedal, and the effort of stepping on the pedal is saved by adjusting the fulcrum.

[0012] In this technical solution, the water pump pressurizes the water by using the lever principle, and the force of stepping on the pedal is saved by adjusting the fulcrum, so that the water pump has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0013] Preferably, after step S3, the mop cleaning method further comprises the following steps:

[0014] S4: Check whether the mop is clean;

[0015] S5: If the mop is clean, the cleaning of the mop is completed; if the mop is not clean, repeat S2-S4 until the mop is clean.

[0016] In the technical solution, the cleanliness of the mop is ensured by inspecting the mop after washing it.

[0017] Preferably, after step S5, the mop cleaning method further comprises the following steps:

[0018] S6: Squeeze and dehydrate the cleaning surface of the mop.

[0019] In the technical solution, by squeezing and dehydrating the clean surface of the mop after the mop has been cleaned, too much water stains when the mop is used can be avoided.

[0020] Preferably, a scraper is provided at the top of the cleaning area; in step S6, the mop cleaning method includes:

[0021] The mop is moved back and forth along the vertical direction while squeezing the cleaning surface of the mop on the squeezing plate to achieve the squeezing and dehydration treatment of the cleaning surface of the mop.

[0022] In the technical solution, a squeezing and scraping plate is provided to squeeze and dehydrate the mop, and there is no need to manually wring or press the mop, thereby improving the convenience of cleaning the mop.

[0023] Preferably, the scraper is configured as follows:

[0024] When the mop is pulled in the vertical direction, the squeezing and scraping plate is located in an upward position and does not squeeze the cleaning surface of the mop;

[0025] When the mop is pressed down along the vertical direction, the squeezing plate is located at the squeezing position to squeeze the cleaning surface of the mop.

[0026] In the technical solution, the squeezing plate is arranged not to squeeze the mop when the mop is pulled up, thereby saving effort when the mop is pulled up, and the squeezing plate squeezes the mop when the mop is pressed down, thereby squeezing the mop completely from top to bottom.

[0027] Preferably, the first preset time is positively correlated with the second preset time.

[0028] In the technical solution, the first preset time is positively correlated with the second preset time, so that the user can correctly judge the stepping time and the time of moving the mop up and down during use.

[0029] Preferably, the position of the foot pedal is set so that when the foot pedal is stepped on to the lowest position, the lowest point of the foot pedal is at the same height as the lowest point of the bottom of the mop bucket.

[0030] By setting the position of the foot pedal so that when the foot pedal is stepped on to the lowest position, the lowest point of the foot pedal is at the same height as the lowest point of the bottom of the mop bucket, when the user places the mop bucket on the horizontal ground and steps on the foot pedal to clean the mop, when the foot pedal is stepped on to the lowest position, the lowest point of the foot pedal just contacts the horizontal ground, thereby preventing the user from damaging the foot pedal by stepping on it with excessive force.

[0031] A mop bucket, wherein the mop bucket is used to clean the mop using the mop cleaning method as described above;

[0032] In the vertical direction, the water pump is arranged at the bottom of the mop bucket body, and the pressure storage device and the water outlet are arranged at a height higher than the water pump.

[0033] In this technical solution, by setting a water pump at the bottom of the mop bucket body, the water pump conveys water upward to the pressure storage device through the water delivery channel, and the water is sprayed out from the water outlet at a height equivalent to that of the pressure storage device, thereby cleaning the mop.

[0034] Preferably, a sewage area connected to the cleaning area is further provided in the mop bucket, and a limiting member is provided between the cleaning area and the sewage area, and the limiting member is used to prevent the mop from entering the sewage area.

[0035] In this technical solution, by setting a sewage area in the mop bucket and directly setting limiters in the cleaning area and the sewage area, the sewage area is separated from the cleaning area, thereby preventing the mop from being soiled again due to contact with sewage during the cleaning process.

[0036] Preferably, the water pump comprises a pump body, a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe, the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe are respectively connected to two sides of the pump body which are relatively far away from each other in the radial direction of the water pump, and the setting height of the water inlet pipe is lower than the setting height of the water outlet pipe;

[0037] The water inlet pipe includes a horizontally arranged water diversion pipe and a vertically arranged water delivery pipe, and the water diversion pipe is connected to the water delivery pipe with a rounded corner;

[0038] The water inlet of the water pump is formed at the end of the water inlet pipe, and the size of the water inlet is larger than the diameter of the water inlet pipe.

[0039] In this technical solution, by setting the water inlet pipe as a horizontally arranged water diversion pipe and a vertically arranged water delivery pipe, it is achieved that water first enters the water diversion pipe in the horizontal direction and then enters the water pump through the water delivery pipe in the vertical direction. Among them, the water diversion pipe and the water delivery pipe are connected with rounded corners, that is, the connection between the water diversion pipe and the water delivery pipe is provided with an arc-shaped buffer angle. The rounded corner connection can reduce the water resistance at the pipe connection and enable the water to be better transported upward. At the same time, by setting the size of the water inlet to be larger than the diameter of the water inlet pipe, the water pump can also pump water in better.

[0040] Preferably, the height position of the water outlet nozzle in the mop bucket body is set so that when the mop is fully extended into the mop bucket body, the water sprayed from the water outlet nozzle can be sprayed to the upper end of the cleaning surface of the mop.

[0041] In this technical solution, by setting the height of the water outlet so that water can be sprayed to the upper end of the cleaning surface of the mop, the water on the mop flows downward from the upper end, so that the cleaning surface of the mop is cleaned more thoroughly.

[0042] Preferably, the top of the mop bucket body has an opening for the mop to extend into the interior of the mop bucket body, and the number of the water outlets is multiple, and the multiple water outlets are evenly distributed along the width direction of the opening.

[0043] In the present technical solution, by arranging a plurality of water outlets on the side wall of the water storage chamber and distributed along the width direction of the cleaning surface of the mop, the coverage area of ​​the water outlets on the surface to be cleaned of the mop can be increased, so that all parts of the cleaning surface of the mop can be effectively cleaned.

[0044] Preferably, the water outlet nozzle extends in a horizontal direction.

[0045] In the technical solution, by extending the water outlet nozzle in the horizontal direction, water is sprayed out horizontally from the water outlet nozzle and then flows downward, which has a better cleaning effect on the mop.

[0046] The positive and progressive effect of the present invention is that after the mop is folded and inserted into the mop bucket, the foot is continuously stepped on for a period of time, so that the water pump can continuously pressurize the water and allow the water to enter the cleaning area inside the mop bucket and spray on the cleaning surface of the mop, and then the foot pedal is stopped, and the mop is moved back and forth in the vertical direction. Since the pressure storage device can make the water delivery channel continue to spray water for a period of time after the foot pedal is stopped, the mop can be moved back and forth up and down after the foot pedal is stopped. The function of cleaning the mop with moving water is realized, so that the mop is better cleaned. Since the pressure storage device has the function of extending the water delivery channel spraying time, the user can separate the foot pedal and the action of moving the mop up and down, which reduces the difficulty of operation and saves the user's effort.

[0090] The present invention is further described below by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the examples.

[0091] like Figure 1 As shown, the present embodiment provides a mop cleaning method, which cleans the mop through a mop bucket. Specifically, the mop bucket used in the mop cleaning method includes a water pump, a water delivery channel, a water storage chamber and a pressure storage device. The water pump pressurizes water by stepping on a pedal. The water storage chamber is located in the mop bucket body. The channel cross-sectional area of ​​the water storage chamber is larger than the channel cross-sectional area of ​​the water delivery channel. A water outlet is provided on the side wall of the water storage chamber. The water delivery channel is connected to the water storage chamber. The water delivery channel delivers water to the cleaning area in the mop bucket through the water outlet. The pressure storage device is connected to the water delivery channel. The pressure storage device can enable the water delivery channel to continue to spray water toward the cleaning area after the stepping on the pedal stops.

[0092] The cleaning method of the mop specifically comprises the following steps:

[0093] S1: Fold the mop and extend it vertically into the cleaning area in the mop bucket.

[0094] S2: Continuously stepping on the foot pedal for a first preset time to pressurize the water to the cleaning area and continuously spray the water onto the cleaning surface of the mop.

[0095] S3: After stopping stepping on the pedal, during the second preset time when the pressure storage device causes the water delivery channel to continue spraying water, the mop is moved back and forth in the vertical direction so that different positions of the cleaning surface are directly sprayed and cleaned by water.

[0096] In this way, after the mop is folded and inserted into the mop bucket, the foot is continuously stepped on for a period of time, so that the water pump can continuously pressurize the water and allow the water to enter the cleaning area inside the mop bucket and spray on the cleaning surface of the mop, and then the foot pedal is stopped, and the mop is moved back and forth in the vertical direction. Since the pressure storage device can make the water delivery channel continue to spray water for a period of time after the foot pedal is stopped, and since the channel cross-sectional area of ​​the water storage chamber is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the water delivery channel, the water spraying time after the foot pedal is stopped can be further extended, so that after the foot pedal is stopped, the mop can still be moved back and forth up and down so that different positions of the cleaning surface can be sprayed with water, realizing the function of washing the mop with moving water, so as to better clean the mop. Since the pressure storage device has the function of extending the water delivery channel spraying time, the user can separate the foot pedal and the action of moving the mop up and down, which reduces the difficulty of operation and saves the user's effort.

[0097] After step S3, the mop cleaning method further comprises the following steps:

[0098] S4: Check whether the mop is clean.

[0099] S5: If the mop is clean, the cleaning of the mop is completed; if the mop is not clean, repeat S2-S4 until the mop is clean.

[0100] Ensure the cleanliness of the mop by inspecting it after washing it.

[0101] After step S5, the mop cleaning method further comprises the following steps:

[0102] S6: Squeeze and dehydrate the clean surface of the mop.

[0103] By squeezing and dehydrating the clean surface of the mop after it has been cleaned, too many water stains can be avoided when the mop is in use.

[0104] In this embodiment, a squeezing plate is provided at the top of the cleaning area of ​​the mop bucket. In step S6 of the mop cleaning method, the mop cleaning method includes: squeezing the cleaning surface of the mop on the squeezing plate while moving the mop back and forth in a vertical direction to achieve squeezing and dehydration of the cleaning surface of the mop.

[0105] Specifically in this embodiment, the squeezing plate of the mop bucket is configured as follows: when the mop is pulled in the vertical direction, the squeezing plate is in the upward position and does not squeeze the cleaning surface of the mop; when the mop is pressed down in the vertical direction, the squeezing plate is in the squeezing position and squeezes the cleaning surface of the mop. By setting the squeezing plate not to squeeze the mop when the mop is pulled up, the effort of pulling the mop up is saved, and the squeezing plate squeezes the mop when the mop is pressed down, so that the mop is completely squeezed from top to bottom.

[0106] Therefore, specifically in step S6, when the mop is pressed down in the vertical direction, the squeezing plate is located at the squeezing position to squeeze the cleaning surface of the mop, thereby squeezing and dehydrating the cleaning surface of the mop.

[0107] In this embodiment, the first preset time is positively correlated with the second preset time, that is, within the capacity of the pressure storage device, the longer the pedal is stepped on, the longer the water supply channel continues to spray water after the pedal stops being stepped on, which is in line with the general cognition of the user, so that the user can correctly judge the stepping time and the time to move the mop up and down during use.

[0108] In this embodiment, the water pump pressurizes the water by using the lever principle when stepping on the pedal, and the effort when stepping on the pedal is saved by adjusting the fulcrum. By using the lever principle to pressurize the water by the water pump, and adjusting the fulcrum to save the effort when stepping on the pedal, the water pump has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0109] Adjusting the fulcrum here refers to adjusting the relative position of the fulcrum in the lever, which includes moving the position of the fulcrum while maintaining the original length of the lever, or changing the length of the lever while keeping the position of the fulcrum unchanged, that is, lengthening the length of the stepped end of the pedal to achieve the purpose of saving effort, which will not be elaborated here.

[0110] In this embodiment, a sewage area connected to the cleaning area is further provided in the mop bucket, and a limiter is provided between the cleaning area and the sewage area, and the limiter is used to prevent the mop from entering the sewage area. The mop cleaning method also includes, in step S3, when the mop is moved back and forth in the vertical direction, when the mop is felt to touch the positioning member, the mop is stopped from being pressed down. Of course, the mop can also be stopped from being pressed down when the mop is not felt to touch the positioning member. In the process of moving the mop up and down, the mop is prevented from being over-pressed by feeling whether the mop touches the limiter, and by observing whether the cleaning surface of the mop has completely entered the cleaning area.

[0111] Preferably, Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment also provides a mop bucket 001, and the mop bucket 001 uses the cleaning method of the mop 002 as described above to clean the mop 002. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper surface of the mop bucket 001 has an opening 11, and the opening 11 is used for the mop 002 to extend vertically into the cleaning area 12 inside the mop bucket 001 in the folded state. Figure 2As shown, the mop bucket 001 also includes a water pump 21, a water delivery channel 22, a water storage chamber 3 and a pressure storage device 23. The water pump 21 pressurizes water by means of a foot pedal 213. The water storage chamber 3 is located in the mop bucket body. The channel cross-sectional area of ​​the water storage chamber 3 is larger than the channel cross-sectional area of ​​the water delivery channel 22. A water outlet nozzle 31 is provided on the side wall of the water storage chamber 3. Both ends of the water delivery channel 22 are respectively connected to the water pump 21 and the water storage chamber 3. The water delivery channel 22 is used to deliver the water pressurized by the water pump 21 to the water storage chamber 3. The water outlet nozzle 31 sprays water to the cleaning area 12. The water outlet nozzle 31 is located below the opening 11.

[0112] Specific as Figure 3 As shown, the pressure storage device 23 is arranged at the water delivery channel 22, and the pressure storage device 23 includes a shell 231, a first elastic member 232 and a first piston 233. The first piston 233 and the first elastic member 232 are arranged in the shell 231, the first end of the shell 231 is connected to the water delivery channel 22, the first end of the first elastic member 232 is connected to the second end of the shell 231, and the second end of the first elastic member 232 is connected to the first piston 233. The elastic coefficient of the first elastic member 232 is set as follows: when the water pump 21 pressurizes and delivers water, the water pressure can cause the first elastic member 232 to deform.

[0113] Since the pressure storage device 23 is connected to the water delivery channel 22, when the pedal 213 is stepped on, the water pressure in the water delivery channel 22 is relatively large, and the water pressure can cause the first elastic member 232 to deform, and the first piston 233 is squeezed outward, and the space that can accommodate water in the water delivery channel 22 and the shell 231 increases, and the amount of water in the water delivery channel 22 increases. When the water pump 21 stops working, the water pressure in the water delivery channel 22 decreases, and the first piston 233 rebounds inward under the action of the first elastic member 232, and the space that can be accommodated in the water delivery channel 22 and the shell 231 decreases, and the pressure in the water delivery channel 22 increases. The water in the water delivery channel 22 continues to be sprayed outward from the water outlet nozzle 31, so that when the water pump 21 stops working, the water in the water delivery channel 22 can still be sprayed to the cleaning area 12 through the water outlet nozzle 31, so that the pressure storage device 23 enables the water delivery channel 22 to continue to spray water toward the cleaning area 12 after the pedal 213 stops being stepped on.

[0114] Of course, in other embodiments, the pressure storage device 23 may also be other structural forms in the prior art that enable the water delivery channel 22 to continue spraying water toward the cleaning area 12 after the pedal 213 stops being stepped on, which will not be described in detail here.

[0115] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a limiting portion 234 is provided in the housing 231, and the limiting portion 234 is used to limit the freedom of movement of the first piston 233. By providing the limiting portion 234 on the inner circumference of the housing 231, specifically, the inner diameter of the upper half of the housing 231 is set to be equal to the outer diameter of the first piston 233, and the outer diameter of the lower half of the housing 231 is set to be smaller than the outer diameter of the first piston 233, so that the limiting portion 234 is formed on the inner circumference of one end of the lower half of the housing 231 close to the upper half, and the first piston 233 can only move in the lower half of the housing 231, thereby preventing the first piston 233 from excessively moving downward.

[0116] Meanwhile, a second groove 235 is also disposed on the bottom wall of the shell 231 . Specifically, the bottom wall of the shell 231 protrudes downward to form the second groove 235 .

[0117] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the lower part of the opening 11 has a lower hanging eave 16 extending downward from the edge of the opening in the vertical direction, and a convex rib 17 protruding in the horizontal direction is provided on the lower hanging eave 16, and there are at least two convex ribs 17 on the lower hanging eave 16. Specifically in this embodiment, the lower hanging eave 16 is provided below the wider two side edges of the opening, and each lower hanging eave 16 has at least two convex ribs 17. By providing the lower hanging eave 16 and the convex rib 17, it can be ensured that the mop is vertical and not skewed when it is extended from the opening into the mop bucket body.

[0118] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, a cleaning area 12 connected to the cleaning area 12 is further provided in the mop bucket 001, and a stopper 24 is provided between the cleaning area 12 and the cleaning area 12, and the stopper 24 is used to prevent the mop 002 from entering the cleaning area 12. By providing the cleaning area 12 in the mop bucket 001, and directly providing the stopper 24 between the cleaning area 12 and the cleaning area 12, the cleaning area 12 is separated from the cleaning area, thereby preventing the mop 002 from being soiled again due to contact with sewage during the cleaning process.

[0119] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, a squeezing plate 25 is provided at the top of the cleaning area of ​​the mop bucket 001, and the squeezing plate 25 is configured as follows: when the mop 002 is pulled up in the vertical direction, the squeezing plate 25 is located in the flipping position, and the cleaning surface of the mop 002 is not squeezed; when the mop 002 is pressed down in the vertical direction, the squeezing plate 25 is located in the squeezing position, and the cleaning surface of the mop 002 is squeezed. By setting the squeezing plate 25 not to squeeze the mop 002 when the mop 002 is pulled up, the effort of pulling up the mop 002 is saved, and when the mop 002 is pressed down, the squeezing plate 25 squeezes the mop, so that the mop 002 is completely squeezed from top to bottom.

[0120] In this embodiment, if Figure 2As shown, the position of the foot pedal 213 of the mop bucket 001 is set below the outer side of the mop bucket 001. Specifically, the position of the foot pedal 213 is set so that when the foot pedal 213 is stepped on to the lowest position, the lowest point of the foot pedal 213 is at the same height as the lowest point of the bottom of the mop bucket 001. By setting the position of the foot pedal 213 so that when the foot pedal 213 is stepped on to the lowest position, the lowest point of the foot pedal 213 is at the same height as the lowest point of the bottom of the mop bucket 001, when the user places the mop bucket 001 on a horizontal ground and steps on the foot pedal 213 to clean the mop 002, when the foot pedal 213 is stepped on to the lowest position, the lowest point of the foot pedal 213 just contacts the horizontal ground, thereby preventing the user from stepping on the foot pedal 213 too hard and damaging it.

[0121] Specifically in this embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the water pump 21 is arranged at the bottom of the mop bucket. The water pump 21 delivers water upward to the pressure storage device 23 through the water delivery channel 22. The water is sprayed out from the water outlet 31 at a height equivalent to that of the pressure storage device 23, thereby cleaning the mop 002.

[0122] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, the water pump 21 includes a pump body 211, a second piston 212, a pedal 213 and a second elastic member 214. The fulcrum of the pedal 213 is arranged on the outside of the mop bucket body, the pump body 211 is arranged inside the mop bucket body, the pump body 211 has a chamber inside, the second piston 212 and the second elastic member 214 are arranged in the chamber, the pedal 213 is connected to the second piston 212, and along the extension and contraction direction of the second elastic member 214, the two ends of the second elastic member 214 are respectively in contact with the upper wall of the chamber and the second piston 212. When using the mop bucket, the pedal 213 is stepped on downwardly from the outer side of the fulcrum. The outer side of the pedal 213 is forced to move downward, while the inner side moves upward, driving the second piston 212 to move and pump water in. The pedal 213 is released. Under the action of the second elastic member 214, the second piston moves downward and drives the inner side of the pedal to move downward. At the same time, the outer side of the pedal 213 moves upward, and the pumped water is pressurized and transported to the water delivery channel 22, and finally the water is sprayed out from the water outlet 31 to clean the mop.

[0123] Among them, Figure 5As shown, the water inlet 260 of the water pump 21 is formed at the end of the water inlet pipe, and the size of the water inlet 260 is larger than the diameter of the water inlet pipe. Specifically, the water inlet pipe includes a water diversion pipe 261 and a water delivery pipe 262 arranged horizontally, so that water first enters the water diversion pipe 261 in the horizontal direction and then enters the water pump through the water delivery pipe 262 in the vertical direction. The water diversion pipe 261 and the water delivery pipe 262 are connected with rounded corners, that is, the connection between the water diversion pipe 261 and the water delivery pipe 262 is provided with an arc-shaped buffer angle, and the rounded corner connection can reduce the water resistance at the pipe connection, so that the water can be better transported upward. At the same time, by setting the size of the water inlet 260 to be larger than the diameter of the water inlet pipe, the water pump 21 can also be better able to pump water in.

[0124] Furthermore, in this embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe 27 of the water pump are arranged on two sides of the water pump relatively far away from each other along the radial direction of the water pump. Specifically in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the water inlet pipe is arranged on the left side of the water pump, and the water outlet pipe 27 is arranged on the right side of the water pump. In addition, the water inlet 260 of the water pump is lower than the water outlet, that is, the water inlet pipe of the water pump is lower than the water outlet pipe 27.

[0125] In this embodiment, if Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the pedal 213 is fixed by a pedal support frame 215 arranged on the outside of the mop bucket body. Specifically, the pedal support frame 215 includes a bottom plate 2151 and two side plates 2152, the two side plates 2152 protrude upward relative to the bottom plate 2151, and each of the two side plates 2152 has a mounting hole. Two connecting columns 2131 are arranged at positions corresponding to the two mounting holes on the pedal, and the two connecting columns 2131 are inserted into the mounting holes to realize the installation of the pedal. The position where the two connecting columns 2131 are located is the fulcrum of the pedal. Specifically in this embodiment, the pedal support frame 215 and the mop bucket body are separately arranged and connected by a connector, and the bottom plate 2151 of the pedal support frame 215 is flush with the bottom of the mop bucket body.

[0126] Of course, in other embodiments, the foot support frame 215 can also be integrally formed with the mop bucket body, which will not be described in detail here.

[0127] Furthermore, in this embodiment, if Figure 4As shown, the mop bucket body is also formed with an avoidance hole 103 for the pedal to extend into the interior of the mop bucket body. In the vertical direction, that is, in the height direction of the avoidance hole 103, the size of the avoidance hole is larger than the thickness of the pedal, so that there is a gap between the pedal and the inner wall of the avoidance hole 103, and in the horizontal direction, that is, in the width direction of the avoidance hole 103, the size of the pedal support frame 215 is larger than the size of the avoidance hole 103. By setting a gap between the pedal and the avoidance hole 103, the pedal moves more smoothly when stepped on. By setting the size of the pedal support frame 215 to be larger than the size of the avoidance hole 103, it is more convenient to connect the pedal support frame 215 to the mop bucket body.

[0128] At the same time, the outer wall of the mop bucket body is recessed inward to form a receiving cavity 101, the water pump 21 is arranged below the receiving cavity 101, the water delivery channel 22 is partially arranged in the receiving cavity 101, and the outer wall of the mop bucket body located above the water pump 21 is formed with a through hole 102 for the water delivery channel 22 to connect to the water pump 21. By recessing the outer wall of the mop bucket inward to form the receiving cavity 101 and arranging the water delivery channel 22 in the receiving cavity 101, it is possible to effectively prevent the water delivery channel 22 from being damaged. At the same time, by arranging the through hole 102 on the outer wall of the mop bucket body located above the water pump 21, the water delivery channel 22 can be connected to the water pump through the through hole 102.

[0129] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, a cleaning area 12 connected to the cleaning area 12 is further provided in the mop bucket 001, and a stopper 24 is provided between the cleaning area 12 and the cleaning area 12, and the stopper 24 is used to prevent the mop 002 from entering the cleaning area 12. By providing the cleaning area 12 in the mop bucket 001, and directly providing the stopper 24 between the cleaning area 12 and the cleaning area 12, the cleaning area 12 is separated from the cleaning area, thereby preventing the mop 002 from being soiled again due to contact with sewage during the cleaning process.

[0130] Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the mop bucket body comprises a bucket body and a bucket cover, the bucket body and the bucket cover are detachably connected, an opening 11 for the mop to extend into the interior of the mop bucket body is formed on the upper surface of the bucket cover, the lower surface of the bucket cover has a boss 14 facing the bucket body, the bucket body has a first groove 15 corresponding to the boss 14, and the boss 14 can be embedded in the first groove 15. By providing the mop bucket body with a detachable bucket body and bucket cover, it is more convenient to use, and the detachable connection between the bucket body and the bucket cover is realized by using the boss 14 and the first groove 15 in cooperation, and the structure is simple and reliable.

[0131] In this embodiment, the height position of the water outlet 31 in the mop bucket body is set so that when the mop is fully inserted into the mop bucket body, the water sprayed from the water outlet 31 can be sprayed to the upper end of the cleaning surface of the mop. By setting the height of the water outlet 31 so that the water can be sprayed to the upper end of the cleaning surface of the mop, the water on the mop flows downward from the upper end, so that the cleaning surface of the mop is cleaned more thoroughly.

[0132] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the channel cross-sectional area of ​​the water storage chamber 3 is larger than the channel cross-sectional area of ​​the water delivery channel 22, and the water outlet nozzle 31 is arranged on the side wall of the water storage chamber 3 with a larger channel cross-sectional area, so that the water outlet nozzle 31 can cover a wider area. Figure 2 As shown, the water delivery channel 22 is a circular water delivery pipe, the water storage chamber 3 is a rectangular parallelepiped cavity, and the water outlet nozzle 31 is arranged on the side wall of the water storage chamber 3. There are multiple water outlet nozzles 31, and the multiple water outlet nozzles 31 are connected to the water storage chamber 3 at the same time. The multiple water outlet nozzles 31 are evenly distributed along the width direction of the opening 11. By arranging multiple water outlet nozzles 31 distributed along the width direction of the mop's surface to be cleaned on the side wall of the water storage chamber 3, the coverage area of ​​the water outlet nozzles 31 on the mop's surface to be cleaned can be increased, so that all parts of the mop's cleaning surface can be effectively cleaned.

[0133] Specifically in this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of water outlets 31 are distributed along the width direction of the mop surface to be cleaned and are arranged at the same height, and the water outlets 31 extend in the horizontal direction. By extending the water outlets 31 in the horizontal direction, water is sprayed horizontally from the water outlets 31 and flows downward, which has a better cleaning effect on the mop.

[0134] Of course, in other embodiments, the water outlet nozzle 31 may also extend obliquely upward or downward along the direction of water flow, and there may be only one water outlet nozzle 31, or multiple water outlet nozzles 31 may form multiple rows along the height direction. In more embodiments, the water supply channel 22 may also be a pipe of other shapes or a channel integrally formed inside the mop bucket, which will not be repeated here.
