Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cleaning tools, and particularly to a cleaning tool. Background Technology

[0002] A dustpan is an indispensable cleaning tool in daily life, usually used in conjunction with a broom to collect trash after sweeping. Currently, traditional dustpans on the market have a relatively simple structure, only providing basic trash-collecting functionality. In actual use, users need to first sweep the trash into the dustpan's inlet, and then empty the trash into a trash can by flipping the dustpan over. This method has significant drawbacks. Firstly, it easily leaves residue when emptying the dustpan, with some debris and dust remaining at the bottom and back of the dustpan, resulting in poor cleaning effectiveness. Secondly, the large movement required to flip the dustpan easily causes trash to spill, increasing the workload of secondary cleaning and polluting the surrounding environment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A cleaning tool includes a dustpan, the dustpan comprising a dustpan body, a stopper mounted on the dustpan body, and a movable part, the movable part being capable of controlling the stopper to open and close on either side panel of the dustpan body.

[0004] Furthermore, the movable part includes at least one set of movable blocks disposed on one side of the stop and at least one set of elastic elements, one end of the elastic element being connected to the stop and the other end being connected to the scoop body.

[0005] Furthermore, the sieve body is provided with at least one set of slide rails, and moving the movable block can drive the stop to slide up / down along the slide rails.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a trash can, the trash can including a body, the body having a blocking part that triggers the movable part to open and close the stop.

[0007] Furthermore, the blocking part is a groove provided on one side of the bucket opening of the bucket body. The groove is inclined from the bucket opening of the bucket body in a direction away from the bucket opening. The groove matches the movable block. When the scoop body is pressed down into the bucket body, the groove blocking trigger part drives the baffle to open, and the garbage falls into the bucket body from the opening of the baffle.

[0008] Furthermore, the winnowing basket also includes a winnowing basket rod, which is disposed on the side of the winnowing basket body away from the baffle, and the winnowing basket rod is rotatably connected to the winnowing basket body.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom plate of the winnowing basket body is inclined towards the bucket body.

[0010] Beneficial effects: 1. Garbage is completely disposed of, with no residue. This invention features an openable baffle on the side panel of the dustpan, which, in conjunction with the tilted groove of the trash can, automatically opens when the dustpan is pressed down, allowing trash to fall directly into the can from the side panel opening without needing to flip the dustpan, thus preventing trash residue and spillage problems at the source.

[0011] 2. Easy and labor-saving operation, reducing labor intensity The flexible element in the movable part allows the stop to automatically reset; once the scoop is empty, releasing the scoop will automatically close the stop. Simultaneously, the scoop handle is rotatably connected to the scoop body, allowing users to flexibly adjust the grip angle to suit different heights and usage scenarios, effectively reducing hand fatigue.

[0012] 3. Ingenious structural design and strong adaptability The movable section can be equipped with single or multiple sets of movable blocks and elastic elements to achieve its functions. It can also accommodate single or double-sided recessed designs for the trash can, meeting varying production costs and usage requirements. The overall structure is simple and compact, requiring no complex electronic control components, resulting in low manufacturing costs and easy widespread application. Attached Figure Description

Broom. Detailed Implementation

[0015] 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. Specific Implementation Example 1: Reference Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a cleaning tool, including a dustpan 1 and a trash can 2.

[0017] The winnowing basket 1 includes a basket body 11, a baffle 12, a movable part 13, and a basket rod 14. The baffle 12 is installed on the side plate of the basket body 11 and is used to close or open the garbage outlet of the basket body 11.

[0018] The movable part 13 includes two sets of movable blocks 131 and two sets of elastic elements 132. The two sets of movable blocks 131 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the stop 12, and the elastic elements 132 are preferably springs. One end of the elastic element 132 is fixedly connected to the stop 12, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sieve body 11.

[0019] Each of the two inner walls of the hopper body 11 is provided with a set of slide rails 111, and the stop 12 is embedded in the slide rail 111 and slidably connected to the slide rail 111. In its natural state, the elastic element 132 is in a contracted state, which drives the stop 12 to move down and close the garbage outlet. By pushing the movable block 131 upward, the stop 12 can be driven to move up along the slide rail 111, opening the garbage outlet for dumping.

[0020] The winnowing basket handle 14 is rotatably connected to the side of the winnowing basket body 11 away from the stop 12, making it easy for the user to hold and operate.

[0021] The trash can includes a body 21 and a blocking part 22 disposed on one side of the opening of the body 21. The blocking part 22 is an inclined groove 221, which slopes downward from the opening of the body 21 away from the opening, and the groove 221 matches the movable block 131.

[0022] When it is time to empty the garbage, align the movable block 131 of the dustpan 1 with the groove 221 and press it down into the bin 21. The movable block 131 is blocked by the groove 221, and the stop 12 moves upward against the pulling force of the elastic element 132, opening the garbage outlet. The bottom plate of the dustpan body 11 is tilted towards the bin 21 at an angle of 45°. When the garbage outlet is opened, the garbage can fall directly from the dustpan body 11 into the bin 21 along the tilt angle without needing to flip the dustpan.

[0023] After being released, the rebound force of the elastic element 132 causes the stop 12 to move down, automatically closing the garbage outlet and preventing garbage residue or spillage.

[0024] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does 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.
