Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cleaning products technology, and specifically refers to a cleaning tool. Background Technology

[0002] Spin mops are among the most popular cleaning products due to their ease of use and effective wringing. To improve the user experience of spin mops, spin mop buckets that separate cleaning and soiling functions have been introduced to the market.

[0003] For example, patent number CN217365754U discloses a mop bucket for a rotating mop, including a bucket body and a mop. A cleaning disc is installed inside the bucket, and a cleaning structure is mounted on the cleaning disc. The cleaning structure includes a water spraying component and a cleaning component mounted on the cleaning disc. The water spraying component has multiple nozzles spaced apart and pointing towards the mop, while the cleaning component is angled upwards towards the direction of mop rotation. The nozzles protrude from the upper surface of the cleaning disc, and the cleaning component is made of bristles, scraping teeth, or soft rubber. In this structure, the nozzles are positioned upwards. When the mop rotates and cleans, the water spraying component directly sprays water onto the mop. During rotation, the mop easily flings the water away, resulting in low water utilization, wasted water, and ineffective cleaning.

[0004] For example, patent number CN202411911904.X discloses a long-hair-end rotating mop cleaning tool, comprising a mop bucket and a rotating mop. The mop bucket has a rotating water spray device and a washing disc installed above the rotating water spray device. A water collection chamber is formed on the washing disc, and a water spray nozzle is provided on one side of the water collection chamber. The water spray nozzle is connected to the rotating water spray device for spraying water into the water collection chamber and / or the rotating mop. The rotating mop includes a mop head, a mop handle, and a long-hair-end wiping material. During cleaning, the mop head is connected to the rotating water spray device and drives it to rotate. The water spray nozzle sprays water onto the long-hair-end wiping material. The water dripping from the long-hair-end wiping material flows into the water collection chamber, and the water in the water collection chamber is absorbed and cleaned again by the long-hair-end wiping material. The application solved the problem of low water utilization, but the product also has some shortcomings: the spin basket is fixed to the mop bucket and cannot rotate with the mop; there is always rotational resistance between the long wiping strip and the spin basket, making it more strenuous for the user to spin dry.

When the protrusion of the rotating block stops on the low stopping part, the water-slinging basket is in a low position.

[0025] The outstanding and beneficial technical effects of this invention compared to the prior art are:

[0026] 1. This invention divides the spin-off basket into sections. The bottom of the spin-off basket is divided into a cleaning area and a water storage area. The water storage area is a water receiving tank where liquid can be stored. The liquid in the water receiving tank can wet the long wiping strip that passes through the tank. The design of the water receiving tank improves the utilization rate of clean water and better wets the long wiping strip. The long wiping strip is preferably a wiping material with good water absorption, such as cotton thread or fiber cloth. This product also effectively utilizes the advantage of the long wiping strip's strong water absorption. Clean water flows from the outlet of the guide channel onto the long wiping strip. The unabsorbed clean water flows out and remains in the water receiving tank, where it is then absorbed by the passing long wiping strip. In particular, the design utilizes a spin-dry basket as the cleaning component. When the locking device is engaged, the rotation of the mop head cannot move the spin-dry basket. During the mop head's rotation, the long wiping strip is effectively moistened by the combined effects of water spraying and the water tank. The long wiping strip then rubs against the surface of the spin-dry basket and its cleaning mechanism, achieving effective cleaning while remaining fully moistened. When the locking device is disengaged, the spin-dry basket can rotate freely relative to the mop bucket. Frictional resistance exists between the long wiping strip and the spin-dry basket, allowing the mop's rotation to synchronize with the basket's rotation. Furthermore, a bearing or wear-resistant sleeve is installed at the central axis of the spin-dry basket, minimizing its own rotational resistance. The basket rotates synchronously with the mop, without creating resistance to the mop's rotation, making wringing the mop easier for the user.

[0027] 2. The lower end of the water-spinning basket of the present invention is provided with the aforementioned abutment part, and the abutment part is provided with a first guide surface; the locking tongue is located below the abutment part, and the locking tongue is provided with a second guide surface adapted to the first guide surface; during the rotation of the water-spinning basket, the abutment part can rely on the first guide surface to pass through the second guide surface, and during the process of the first guide surface passing through the second guide surface, the water-spinning basket moves upward. By setting the adapted first guide surface and second guide surface, when the water-spinning basket rotates too fast during rapid movement, the water-spinning basket can rely on the guide surface to cross the blockage of the locking tongue and continue to rotate, thereby protecting the locking tongue and avoiding damage to the locking tongue due to excessive impact force. During the process of crossing the locking tongue and locking, the water-spinning basket needs to move upward. During the upward movement, the water-spinning basket can decelerate, allowing the water-spinning basket to stop at the blockage of the locking tongue in the next revolution. It should be noted that when the locking device is activated, the spin basket needs to move upward to pass the locking tongue; therefore, when the spin basket contains a mop head and the user applies downward force, the spin basket cannot rise. In this state, the spin basket will be blocked by the locking tongue and cannot rotate.

[0028] 3. The present invention uses a long wiping strip as the cleaning part of the mop. When the wiping material is unfolded, the long wiping strip is irregular. Therefore, the end of the spin basket of this application is provided with at least one inclined guide plate. The guide plate straightens the long wiping strip along the inclined surface of the guide plate and puts it into the spin basket, making the long wiping strip cleaner and allowing it to be better cleaned by the cleaner in the spin basket.

[0029] 4. The spin basket of the present invention can move up and down by means of the central axis, thereby realizing the engagement and disengagement of the locking tongue and the abutment. Moreover, the spin basket can be removed from the mop bucket body, and the user can remove the spin basket to clean the spin basket and the mop bucket body. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0055] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Figure 1-24 As shown:

[0056] A cleaning tool includes a mop bucket body 1 and a mop. The mop includes a mop head 14 and a mop handle 15 hinged together. Several long wiping strips 16 are provided below the mop head 14. These long wiping strips are preferably absorbent materials such as cotton thread or fiber cloth. The long wiping strips can be fixed to the mop head in several ways: Method 1 includes a thread spool with the long wiping head fixed to a hole in the spool; Method 2 includes a flexible cloth cover with the long wiping head sewn onto it, and the flexible cloth cover fixed to the mop head. A transmission structure, such as a twisted rod structure, can be provided inside the mop handle. The twisted rod structure can refer to the drive structure shown in existing technologies CN201010201957.4 and 201020535057.9, which provides power to rotate the mop head through the extension and retraction of inner and outer tubes; alternatively, the mop handle can be driven by a motor, with a drive motor inside the mop handle serving as the power source to rotate the mop head. The drive mechanism inside the mop handle can be any structure available on the market, or the mop handle can be without a drive mechanism, allowing the user to manually drive the mop to rotate. There are several ways to drive the spin basket: Method 1: Friction exists between the long wiping strip and the spin basket, the spin basket is not locked, and the mop head is placed inside the spin basket. The mop head can drive the spin basket to rotate synchronously through the friction between the long wiping strip and the spin basket. Method 2: The mop head and the connector at the upper middle part of the spin basket engage. The mop head is placed inside the spin basket, and the mop head and connector engage, allowing the mop head to drive the spin basket to rotate. There are various ways to drive the spin basket to rotate, and other connection methods can also be used. Manufacturers can choose a solution based on actual needs.

[0057] The mop bucket body 1 has a clean water area and a storage area inside; a spin basket 3 is rotatably installed inside the mop bucket body 1, and the bottom of the spin basket 3 is divided into a cleaning area 32 and a water storage area 31; a cleaner is installed in the cleaning area to clean the long wiping strip; the water storage area is a water tank where liquid can be stored and used to wet the long wiping strip as it passes through; a flow channel 6 is provided in the clean water area, and the outlet 61 of the flow channel is located on the side or above the spin basket 3; a locking device is provided on the spin basket / mop bucket body to lock the spin basket 3 in a designated position; when the locking device is activated, the spin basket cannot rotate or cannot rotate in a designated direction, and the outlet 61 of the flow channel is aligned with the water storage area 31, allowing clean water to flow into the water storage area. When the locking device is not engaged, the spin basket can rotate freely relative to the mop bucket. The mop head is placed inside the spin basket, and the mop head can drive the spin basket to rotate synchronously. The cleaner fixed inside the spin basket does not clean the long wiping strip. When the locking device is engaged, the mop head is placed inside the spin basket. During the rotation of the mop head, the spin basket remains stationary relative to the mop bucket. The long wiping strip can be cleaned by the cleaner fixed inside the spin basket.

[0058] The system includes a liquid discharge device that controls the discharge of clean water through the guide channel 6. When the locking device is active, the liquid discharge device discharges liquid; when the locking device is inactive, the liquid discharge device does not discharge liquid. The liquid discharge device can be categorized into at least two types: one where the liquid in the clean water zone is directly controlled by a drain valve, which opens and allows the liquid to flow out; and another where an impeller pumps water, rotating the impeller and guiding the clean water through the guide channel to the receiving tank. These two methods will be described in detail below.

[0059] The locking device includes an abutment 30 and a locking tongue 5 provided at the bottom or side of the water-spraying basket; the locking tongue or the water-spraying basket is raised or lowered so that the locking tongue and the abutment engage, and the water-spraying basket 3 cannot be rotated or cannot be rotated in a specified direction.

[0060] The lower end of the water-spinning basket 3 is provided with the abutment part 30, and the abutment part 30 is provided with a first guide surface 301; the locking tongue 5 is located below the abutment part, and the locking tongue 5 is provided with a second guide surface 50 adapted to the first guide surface 301; during the rotation of the water-spinning basket 3, the abutment part 30 can pass through the second guide surface 50 by relying on the first guide surface 301, and the water-spinning basket 3 moves upward during the process of the first guide surface passing through the second guide surface. The first guide surface and the second guide surface provide a buffer for the water-spinning basket. If the water-spinning basket rotates too fast, the water-spinning basket can use the guide surface to pass over the locking tongue, thereby reducing the impact of the locking tongue and protecting the locking tongue. After the water-spinning basket is slowed down by the guide slope, it is then blocked.

[0061] The bottom and / or sides of the spin basket are provided with several bristles 39 or scrapers at an angle. The bristles 39 or scrapers are cleaners. The spin basket 3 is rotatably connected to the mop bucket body 1 through the central shaft 24. A bearing or wear-resistant sleeve is provided between the central shaft 24 and the center seat 33 of the spin basket. The central shaft, wear-resistant sleeve / bearing and spin basket are fixed as a whole. This whole part can be removed from the mop bucket body and can move up and down by relying on the central shaft.

[0062] The end of the spin basket 3 is provided with at least one inclined guide plate 38, which guides the long wiping strips along the inclined surface of the guide plate into the spin basket. This consolidates the messy long wiping strips, allowing the bristles of the long wiping strips to clean more effectively.

[0063] In Example 1, a clean water tank is positioned above the mop bucket body, and a top cover 21 is positioned above the clean water tank. The top cover 21 can seal the clean water tank. The clean water tank is the clean water area 2, and the mop bucket body 1 is the placement area. An opening is provided in the middle of the clean water tank. A spin basket 3 is rotatably disposed inside the mop bucket body 1, with the spin basket 3 located below the clean water tank, or partially located below the clean water tank. When the drain valve at the bottom or side of the clean water tank is opened, clean water flows to the spin basket. A drain valve sealing ring 63 is provided on the drain valve body 62 of the drain valve. An elastic element pushes the drain valve body 62 and seals the outlet of the clean water tank through the drain valve sealing ring 63. Preferably, the clean water tank 3 can be separated from the mop bucket body 1. The two can be fixed together by a snap-fit ​​or locked by a quick-release structure as shown in the attached figure. A pressure ring 18 is provided above the mop bucket body 1. A sliding rod 17 is slidably installed in the gap between the pressure ring 18 and the mop bucket body 1. A push rod 8 is provided on the water bucket. The lower end of the push rod 8 has an inclined surface. The inclined surface of the push rod and the inclined surface of the sliding rod 171 are adapted to each other. A spring 9 drives the inclined surface of the push rod and the inclined surface of the sliding rod 171 to abut against each other. The push rod moves, the sliding rod moves, and the sliding rod hook 172 separates from the hook b28 below the water bucket. A hook a27 is also provided on the mop bucket body. The hook a27 is inserted into the hole of the pressure ring. After the sliding rod hook 172 and the hook b28 are separated, the hook a27 can be separated from the hole of the pressure ring. A handle 19 is also provided on the mop bucket body.

[0064] The locking device includes a locking tongue 5 and a push rod. During the upward movement of the locking tongue, the push rod moves and opens the drain valve. A foot pedal is included, movably mounted on the mop bucket body. The foot pedal is driven by the locking tongue and the push rod. Elastic elements are provided on the foot pedal and / or the locking tongue and / or the push rod and / or the drain valve. These elastic elements provide force to the foot pedal when it is in a high position, force to close the drain valve, and force to move the locking tongue away from the spin basket. Driving the foot pedal downward moves both the locking tongue and the push rod. The driving method between the foot pedal and the locking tongue is varied; it can be a linkage structure as shown in the attached diagram. The foot pedal's connecting part 42 and the locking tongue are connected via a locking tongue transmission component 51, which is hinged to the mop bucket body. When the foot pedal moves downward, the locking tongue transmission component 51 swings, thereby driving the locking tongue upward along the locking tongue mounting base 59. The foot pedal and the locking tongue can also utilize common mechanical transmission structures such as a rack and pinion mechanism or a rope pull; any structure that moves the locking tongue up and down by the foot pedal is acceptable. The driving method between the foot pedal and the drain valve is varied. It can be a push rod as shown in the attached diagram. The foot pedal's connecting part 42 and the drain valve body 62 are connected via drain valve transmission rods a53 and b54. When the foot pedal moves downwards, drain valve transmission rods a53 and b54 move, driving the drain valve body 62 upwards, allowing clean water to flow from the outlet. The foot pedal and drain valve can also utilize common mechanical transmission structures such as a rack and pinion mechanism or a rope pull; any structure that moves the drain valve body by the foot pedal is acceptable.

[0065] The foot pedal has a U-shaped portion 40, and an opening 10 is provided in the upper middle part of the mop bucket body 1. The U-shaped portion 40 of the foot pedal is hung at the opening 10. By setting the opening 10 higher, more liquid can be stored in the mop bucket body 1, and the liquid is less likely to flow out from the opening 10. The two ends of the foot pedal are a foot pedal part 41 and a foot pedal connecting part 42, respectively. The foot pedal part 41 is located at the lower end of the outer side of the mop bucket body, and the foot pedal connecting part 42 is located at the lower end of the inner side of the mop bucket body.

[0066] A stop plate 52 is movably mounted on the foot pedal 4. An elastic element applies a downward force to the stop plate 52. When the foot pedal 4 is not driven, the stop plate 52 is located above or to the side of the water-spraying basket 3. When the foot pedal 4 is driven downward, the stop plate 52 abuts against the water-spraying basket 3 under the action of the elastic element. The stop plate 52 acts as a brake; even during the up-and-down movement of the water-spraying basket 3, the stop plate 52 can still abut against the basket 3, allowing the basket to slow down through flexible contact. Figure 14 As shown, in order to protect the locking device, a retaining ring 12 extends inside the mop bucket body to house the locking tongue and other components, and is covered by a cap 13; this also improves the product's aesthetics.

[0067] Cleaning method of Example 1: First, place the mop head in the spin-dry basket. Second, step on the foot pedal to release water; then rotate the mop head, ensuring the spin-dry basket rotates without being driven by the mop head. The long wiping strip of the mop head rotates within the spin-dry basket for cleaning. Third, release the foot pedal to stop the water flow; then rotate the mop head, causing it to drive the spin-dry basket to rotate. The mop head and spin-dry basket rotate synchronously and perform centrifugal spin-drying. Finally, remove the mop head from the spin-dry basket.

[0068] Example 2 differs from Example 1 in the arrangement of the clean water zone and the structure of the liquid dispensing device. The mop bucket body 1 has a clean water zone 2 inside. This clean water zone can be an integrally formed skirt, dividing the inner and outer sides of the mop bucket into a clean water zone and a placement zone.
