Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of daily cleaning tools, specifically a contactless one-button cloth clamping mop and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] In existing cloth-clamping mops, users often need to directly touch the cleaning cloth during the clamping and discarding process, making it impossible to discard the cleaning cloth without touching it at all. This not only easily causes hand contamination, but also greatly affects the hygiene experience, especially when cleaning areas with more stains or dirt.

[0003] Most cloth-clamping mops on the market rely on complex mechanical structures, such as multiple gear transmissions or linkage rod designs, to achieve the functions of clamping and discarding cleaning cloths. This not only increases the weight and size of the product, but also makes the assembly process cumbersome. In long-term use, they have a high failure rate and often have problems such as unstable clamping and difficult discarding, which affect the user's cleaning experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a contactless one-button cloth-clamping mop, which enables one-button disposal of the cleaning cloth without hand contact, and improves product stability, reduces failure rate, and optimizes the user's cleaning experience by simplifying the structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a contactless one-button cloth clamping mop, including a handle and a mop head;

[0006] The mop head includes a base plate, a cover plate, and left and right wings that are slidably connected to both sides of the base plate. A drive assembly capable of driving the left and right wings to unfold or retract is provided between the cover plate and the base plate. A one-button unlocking structure capable of unfolding the left and right wings to discard the mop cloth is provided inside the handle.

[0007] The drive assembly includes an inclined lifting component and a drive rod fixed to the left and right wings. One end of the drive rod is provided with an integrally formed inclined drive block. The inclined lifting component has inclined pull slots on both sides for the inclined drive block to be inserted. The cross-section of the inclined drive block is T-shaped.

[0008] Preferably, the cover plate is connected to the base plate via a connecting structure;

[0009] The connecting structure includes T-shaped grooves at both ends of the base plate, and integrally formed T-shaped blocks at both ends of the bottom of the cover plate, the T-shaped blocks being engaged in the T-shaped grooves.

[0010] Preferably, the drive assembly further includes a top rod fixed to the upper surface of the middle part of the base plate, a first spring sleeved on the outer wall of the top rod, the inclined lifting component sleeved on the top rod, the first spring located below the inclined lifting component, and a guide structure for limiting the horizontal movement of the drive rod provided above the base plate.

[0011] Preferably, the guiding structure includes a guide block, the guide block having a guide groove, and the drive rod being slidably connected within the guide groove.

[0012] Preferably, the handle includes a housing and an inner rod. An inner connector is fixed to the bottom of the inner rod, and the bottom end of the inner connector is fixedly connected to a top rod. An outer connector is fixed to the bottom end of the housing, and the outer connector is fixedly connected to an inclined lifting component. A sliding structure for the housing to slide up and down is provided on the outside of the inner rod.

[0013] Preferably, the sliding structure includes a groove formed on the outer wall of the inner rod and a guide bar fixed to the inner wall of the outer shell, the guide bar being slidably connected in the groove.

[0014] Preferably, the one-button unlocking structure includes a button and a locking block. The locking block is integrally formed on the top of the inner rod. A buckle is integrally formed on one side of the button. A slot is opened on one side of the locking block. One end of the buckle is engaged in the slot. An extension opening is provided on the side wall of the outer shell. The button slides horizontally into the extension opening. A second spring is fixed to one end of the button located inside the outer shell.

[0015] The present invention further provides a method for using a cloth-clamping mop, applicable to the contactless one-button cloth-clamping mop described in any of the above technical solutions, comprising the following steps:

[0016] S1: Lay the cleaning cloth to be treated flat on the ground;

[0017] S2: Press the mop head vertically onto the cleaning cloth to be treated, and apply downward pressure on the handle to move the outer shell relative to the inner rod.

[0018] S3: The inclined lifting component is pushed downward along the axial direction of the top rod by the external connector to compress the first spring on the top rod, so that the first spring stores elastic potential energy;

[0019] S4: The drive rod moves horizontally along the first preset direction, thereby causing the left and right wings to slide and retract towards the center of the base plate to clamp the cleaning cloth;

[0020] S5: The one-button unlocking structure locks when the cleaning cloth is clamped, so that the inclined lifting component remains in a downward state, and the left and right wings continue to clamp the cleaning cloth so that personnel can carry out cleaning work;

[0021] S6: After the cleaning work is completed, press the one-button unlocking structure to unlock it.

[0022] S7: The first spring releases its elastic potential energy to push the inclined lifting component to move upward along the top rod and reset;

[0023] S8: The drive rod moves horizontally along the second preset direction, thereby causing the left wing and the right wing to unfold relative to each other, so that the cleaning cloth is released and detached.

[0024] Preferably, the first preset direction in step S4 is the extension direction along the guide groove of the guide structure.

[0025] Preferably, the one-button unlocking structure includes a button, a second spring, a latch, and a latch block, wherein the latch block has a slot corresponding to the latch;

[0026] Step S6 includes pressing the button and sliding it horizontally to compress the second spring, causing the second spring to store elastic potential energy, and the buckle to disengage from the slot accordingly.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0028] 1. When loading the cloth, simply lay the cleaning cloth flat and press the outer tube vertically to clamp it with one click; when discarding the cloth, align it with the trash can and press the button, and the cleaning cloth will automatically fall off. There is no need to manually adjust the position of the cleaning cloth or disassemble the parts throughout the process. It is simple and easy to use, suitable for a wide range of people, and can avoid manual contamination.

[0029] 2. This invention employs a drive assembly design with an inclined lifting component and a drive rod, replacing the traditional complex gear transmission or multiple linkage rod structures, thus reducing the number of mechanical parts and the complexity of their fit. Simultaneously, by using guide blocks, guide grooves, and other structures to constrain moving parts, it reduces problems such as unstable clamping and improper discarding caused by part wear and fit errors during long-term use, thereby improving the product's durability and stability.

[0030] 3. The handle, drive assembly, and one-button unlocking structure of this invention are linked. Users can control the folding of the left and right wings by pressing down on the outer tube and unfold them by pressing the button. This allows for one-button disposal of the cleaning cloth. The narrow middle of the left and right wings facilitates assembly. The T-shaped snap-fit ​​of the upper and lower shells prevents deformation. The overall weight of the product is lighter, making it easier to store and operate by hand. It is especially suitable for scenarios involving frequent movement and turning in daily household cleaning, thus improving the product's portability and user comfort.

[0031] 4. The method of use provided by this invention requires the user to operate by hand only during the initial placement and final button press. When discarding the used dirty cleaning cloth, there is no need to touch it by hand at all. The mop blades can be automatically unfolded by simply pressing the button, allowing the cleaning cloth to fall off automatically. This effectively avoids direct contact with dirt and bacteria, and has the advantages of being more hygienic and user-friendly. At the same time, it is simple and efficient to operate.

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] Please see Figure 1-8 The present invention provides a technical solution: a contactless one-button cloth clamping mop, including a handle 1 and a mop head 2;

[0047] The mop head 2 includes a base plate 201, a cover plate 202, and a left wing 203 and a right wing 204 slidably connected to both sides of the base plate 201 for clamping the wiping cloth. A drive assembly 207 capable of driving the left wing 203 and the right wing 204 to unfold or retract is provided between the cover plate 202 and the base plate 201. A one-button unlocking structure 208 capable of unfolding the left wing 203 and the right wing 204 to discard the wiping cloth is provided inside the handle 1.

[0048] The base plate 201 of the mop head 2 is the basic support component. The left wing 203 and right wing 204, which are slidably connected on both sides, can move horizontally along the base plate 201. The cover plate 202 is fixed to the base plate 201 by a T-shaped block 206 integrally formed at the bottom, which is engaged with the T-shaped grooves 205 at both ends of the base plate 201, forming a closed internal space to provide an installation and protection environment for the drive assembly 207. When the drive assembly 207 is activated, the left wing 203 and right wing 204 slide along the base plate 201 to retract or unfold, while the cover plate 202 remains relatively fixed to the base plate 201 through the T-shaped connection structure.

[0049] The cover plate 202 is connected to the base plate 201 through a connecting structure; the connecting structure includes T-shaped grooves 205 formed at both ends of the base plate 201, and integrally formed T-shaped blocks 206 are provided at both ends of the bottom of the cover plate 202, and the T-shaped blocks 206 are snapped into the T-shaped grooves 205.

[0050] The snap-fit ​​design of T-slot 205 and T-block 206 replaces the traditional screw fixing or buckle splicing 2083. On the one hand, the integrally formed T-block 206 improves the connection strength between cover plate 202 and base plate 201, preventing structural deformation caused by vibration and stress during long-term use; on the other hand, assembly can be completed without additional tools, simplifying the production and maintenance process.

[0051] The drive assembly 207 includes an inclined lifting component 2071 and a drive rod 2072 fixed to the left wing 203 and the right wing 204. One end of the drive rod 2072 is provided with an integrally formed inclined drive block 2073. The inclined lifting component 2071 has inclined pull slots 2074 on both sides for the inclined drive block 2073 to be inserted. The cross-section of the inclined drive block 2073 is arranged in an inclined T shape.

[0052] Two sets of drive rods 2072 are provided on each side of the left wing 203 and the right wing 204. The inclined lifting component 2071 has two sets of inclined pull grooves 2074 on each side. Through multi-point transmission, the force on the left wing 203 and the right wing 204 is more balanced, avoiding clamping deviation caused by force on one side.

[0053] It should be noted that during the closing process of the left wing 203 and the right wing 204, the opposite inclined plane covering the inclined plane on the inclined plane lifting component 2071 pulls the inclined plane on the back of the left wing 203 and the right wing 204. In other words, the lifting uses two different sets of inclined planes. Unlike the traditional single-sided guide inclined plane, this method can automatically reset when the inclined plane lifting component 2071 rises, which can reduce the number of parts, simplify the structure, and reduce the failure rate.

[0054] The drive assembly 207 also includes a top rod 2075 fixed to the upper surface of the middle part of the base plate 201. A first spring 2076 is sleeved on the outer wall of the top rod 2075. The inclined lifting member 2071 is sleeved on the top rod 2075. The first spring 2076 is located below the inclined lifting member 2071. A guide structure for limiting the horizontal movement of the drive rod 2072 is provided above the base plate 201.

[0055] When the inclined plane lifting component 2071 moves up and down along the top rod 2075, the inclined pull groove 2074 generates a horizontal pushing or pulling force on the inclined plane driving block 2073 through the inclined plane contact, which drives the driving rod 2072 to move horizontally along the guide structure, ultimately realizing the folding or unfolding of the left wing 203 and the right wing 204. The first spring 2076 sleeved on the outer wall of the top rod 2075 is located below the inclined plane lifting component 2071, which can provide a reset elastic force after the inclined plane lifting component 2071 moves down, and store power for the next unfolding action.

[0056] The guiding structure includes a guide block 2077, a guide groove 2078 is provided in the guide block 2077, and the drive rod 2072 is slidably connected in the guide groove 2078.

[0057] By replacing traditional gear transmission or multiple linkages with inclined plane transmission, the vertical motion is converted into horizontal motion through inclined plane contact, reducing structural complexity; at the same time, the force of inclined plane transmission is more gentle, which can improve the smoothness of operation.

[0058] The handle 1 includes a housing 101 and an inner rod 102. An inner connector 103 is fixed to the bottom of the inner rod 102. The bottom end of the inner connector 103 is fixedly connected to the top rod 2075. An outer connector 104 is fixed to the bottom end of the housing 101. The outer connector 104 is fixedly connected to the inclined lifting member 2071. A sliding structure for the housing 101 to slide up and down is provided on the outside of the inner rod 102.

[0059] The sliding structure includes a groove 105 formed on the outer wall of the inner rod 102 and a guide bar 106 fixed to the inner wall of the outer shell 101. The guide bar 106 is slidably connected within the groove 105. When the user presses down on the outer shell 101, the guide bar 106 slides along the groove 105, causing the outer shell 101 to move downward relative to the inner rod 102. This, in turn, pushes the inclined lifting member 2071 downward along the top rod 2075 via the outer connector 104, triggering the left wing 203 and right wing 204 to retract. After releasing the outer shell 101, the first spring 2076 pushes the inclined lifting member 2071 upward, causing the outer shell 101 to return to its original position.

[0060] The one-button unlocking structure 208 includes a button 2081 and a locking block 2082. The locking block 2082 is integrally formed on the top of the inner rod 102. A buckle 2083 is integrally formed on one side of the button 2081. A slot 2084 is formed on one side of the locking block 2082. One end of the buckle 2083 is engaged in the slot 2084. An extension opening 2085 is provided on the side wall of the outer shell 101. The button 2081 is horizontally slidably connected to the extension opening 2085. A second spring 2086 is fixed to one end of the button 2081 inside the outer shell 101. When the user presses the button 2081, the button 2081 compresses the second spring 2086 and moves horizontally, causing the buckle 2083 to disengage from the slot 2084. Under the elastic force of the first spring 2076, the outer shell 101 moves upward with the inclined lifting component 2071, the left wing 203 and the right wing 204 unfold, and the cleaning cloth automatically falls off. The outer shell 101 and inner rod 102 can be released by a simple pressing action, enabling one-click disposal without the need to manually disassemble parts or adjust the position of the cleaning cloth; the second spring 2086 can push the buckle 2083 to automatically reset after the button 2081 is released, preparing for the next clamping action.

[0061] According to another aspect of the present invention, the above-mentioned method of using the mop is specifically as follows: when the mop is in its initial state, the left wing 203 and the right wing 204 are unfolded, the buckle 2083 is disengaged from the slot 2084, and the first spring 2076 is in the released state.

[0062] Lay the cleaning cloth flat on the ground, covering the area below the base plate 201 of the mop head 2. Hold the outer shell 101 of the handle 1 with both hands and press the mop head 2 vertically onto the laid-flat cleaning cloth. At this time, apply downward pressure to the outer shell 101. The guide strip 106 on the inner wall of the outer shell 101 slides downward along the groove 105 on the outer wall of the inner rod 102, causing the outer shell 101 to move downward relative to the inner rod 102.

[0063] When the outer shell 101 moves down, the inclined lifting member 2071 is pushed down along the top rod 2075 in the middle of the bottom plate 201 by the outer connecting member 104 fixed at the bottom end, and at the same time, the first spring 2076 on the outer wall of the top rod 2075 is compressed, so that the first spring 2076 stores elastic potential energy.

[0064] During the downward movement of the inclined lifting component 2071, the inclined pull grooves 2074 on both sides of it make inclined contact with the inclined driving block 2073 at the end of the drive rod 2072. The inclined pull grooves 2074 apply a horizontal thrust to the inclined driving block 2073 through the inclined transmission.

[0065] Under the action of thrust, the drive rod 2072 moves horizontally along the guide groove 2078 in the guide block 2077 above the base plate 201. Since the drive rod 2072 is fixed to the left wing 203 and the right wing 204 respectively, the left wing 203 and the right wing 204 slide towards the center of the base plate 201 in sync with the drive rod 2072, gradually retracting and clamping the cleaning cloth.

[0066] Once the cleaning cloth is clamped, stop applying pressure. At this time, the buckle 2083 of the one-button unlocking structure 208 is engaged in the slot 2084, the inclined lifting component 2071 remains in a downward state, and the left wing 203 and right wing 204 continue to clamp the cleaning cloth, and the cleaning operation can begin.

[0067] After cleaning, align the mop head 2 with the trash can and press the button 2081 inside the extension opening 2085 on the side wall of the handle 1 housing 101. The button 2081 slides horizontally along the extension opening 2085 under pressure, while compressing the second spring 2086 located inside the housing 101, so that the second spring 2086 stores elastic potential energy.

[0068] When button 2081 slides, the one-piece buckle 2083 on one side moves synchronously with button 2081 and gradually disengages from the slot 2084 of the top block 2082 of inner rod 102. After buckle 2083 disengages from slot 2084, the previously compressed first spring 2076 releases its elastic potential energy and pushes the inclined lifting component 2071 upward to reset along the top rod 2075.

[0069] During the upward movement of the inclined plane lifting component 2071, the horizontal thrust of the inclined pull grooves 2074 on both sides of the inclined plane driving block 2073 disappears. The opposite inclined plane covering the inclined plane on the inclined plane lifting component 2071 pulls the inclined plane driving block 2073 outward, so that the left wing 203 and the right wing 204 can be deployed to each other.

[0070] Once the cleaning cloth loses its grip, it automatically detaches from under the mop head 2 and falls into the trash can, completing the contactless disposal of the cleaning cloth.

[0071] Through ingenious mechanical design, this invention achieves the entire process from automatically and securely clamping the fabric to contactless disposal of hygienic fabric with a simple, labor-saving operation of pressing and pushing. It has the technical effect of high efficiency and simplicity.
