Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a flat mop, specifically a double-sided flat mop. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the handle of a typical flat mop is usually connected to a movable connector at the top center of the mop body, with the wiping cloth only located at the bottom. During cleaning, the arm applies downward pressure to the mop body through the handle, causing the wiping cloth to exert pressure on the floor and maintain friction to achieve cleaning.

[0003] These single-sided flat mops require washing after wiping a certain area, necessitating frequent water changes and cleaning, resulting in low efficiency.

[0004] To address this, the applicant adopted a double-sided wiping cloth structure, moving the movable connecting seat for the handle connection from the top center of the flat mop body to the middle of the side, so that wiping cloths can be installed on both the front and back sides. Alternating use of both sides can reduce the number of cleaning cycles and improve efficiency.

[0005] However, in actual use, it was found that because the movable connecting seat is located on the side, the force is concentrated on one side when mopping, and the loss is relatively large when transmitting it to the surrounding areas. This results in insufficient pressure and weak friction in areas far from the connecting seat, making the feel and cleaning effect inferior to that of a regular single-sided mop. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a double-sided flat mop, in which wiping plates with greater height are movably connected on the front and rear sides of the flat mop body. The two wiping plates can rotate relative to the body, making room for the handle and the movable connecting seat to rotate.

[0007] This product can clean floors from both sides. The force is evenly transmitted through the wiping plate, and the user experience and cleaning effect are similar to those of a regular single-sided flat mop. At the same time, it greatly reduces the frequency of wiping the cloth and improves cleaning efficiency.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is adopted: A double-sided flat mop includes a flat mop body and a movable connecting seat for connecting the handle. The flat mop body is a plate-shaped body with front and rear sides. The movable connecting seat is located in the middle of the upper side of the flat mop body. Wiping plates are provided on both the front and rear sides of the flat mop body. The lower sides of the two wiping plates are movably connected to the flat mop body. The wiping plates can rotate forward or backward relative to the flat mop body. The height of the wiping plates is greater than the height of the flat mop body. The movable connecting seat is clamped between the front and rear wiping plates.

[0009] The lower sides of both wiping plates are hinged to the hinged part on the lower side of the flatbed mop body.

[0010] A reset component is provided between the two wiping plates or between the wiping plate and the flat mop body. The reset component applies a rebound force to the wiping plate toward the flat mop body.

[0011] The reset component is a tension spring, with its two ends connected to two wiping plates respectively.

[0012] Both the flat mop body and the wiping plate are rectangular plates. The lengths of the wiping plate and the flat mop body are matched, and the ratio of the height of the flat mop body to the height of the wiping plate is between one-third and two-thirds.

[0013] The lower part of the wiping plate has an arc-shaped structure, and the thickness of the flat mop body gradually decreases from top to bottom. The arc-shaped structure on the lower part of the two wiping plates forms an arc-shaped transition surface on the lower periphery of the flat mop body. A wiping cloth is wrapped around the lower arc-shaped transition surface and fixed to the surface of the two wiping plates.

[0014] The wiping plate includes a mounting plate and a connecting plate. The wiping cloth of the flat mop is fixed on the connecting plate. A quick-release structure is provided between the connecting plate and the mounting plate. The lower side of the mounting plate is hinged to the hinge part on the lower side of the flat mop body.

[0015] The quick-release structure includes buckles and latches on the connecting plate, and buckles and locking holes on the mounting plate corresponding to the buckles and latches. During installation, the buckles of the connecting plate and the mounting plate are inserted into each other, and the latches and locking holes lock the connecting plate to the mounting plate.

[0016] This invention moves the movable connecting seat of the handle from the center of the top surface of the flat mop body to the middle of the side, so that the front and back sides of the flat mop body can be used to install the wiping plate. The double-sided use can reduce the number of times the wiping cloth is washed and improve cleaning efficiency.

[0017] The arc-shaped transition surface on the side of the invention is wrapped with a wiping cloth, and this part has a strip-shaped structure that can be used to clean narrow gaps and corners. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0019] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a double-sided flat mop includes a flat mop body 1 and a movable connecting seat 2 for connecting the handle. The flat mop body 1 is a plate-shaped body with front and rear sides. The movable connecting seat 2 is located in the middle of the upper side of the flat mop body 1. Wiping plates 3 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the flat mop body 1. The lower sides of the two wiping plates 3 are hinged to the hinge part 11 on the lower side of the flat mop body 1. The wiping plates 3 can rotate forward or backward relative to the flat mop body 1. Both the flat mop body 1 and the wiping plates 3 are rectangular plates. The lengths of the wiping plates 3 and the flat mop body 1 are matched. The ratio of the height of the flat mop body 1 to the height of the wiping plates 3 is between one-third and two-thirds. The movable connecting seat 2 is clamped between the front and rear wiping plates 3. A tension spring 4 is provided between the two wiping plates 3 or between the wiping plates 3 and the flat mop body 1. The two ends of the tension spring 4 are respectively connected to the two wiping plates 3.

[0020] The thickness of the flat mop body 1 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The lower part of the wiping plate 3 has an arc-shaped structure, and the arc-shaped structures on the lower sides of the two wiping plates 3 form an arc-shaped transition surface 30 on the lower periphery of the flat mop body 1. The wiping plate 3 includes a mounting plate 31 and a connecting plate 32. The wiping cloth of the flat mop is fixed on the connecting plate 32. A quick-release structure is provided between the connecting plate 32 and the mounting plate 31. The lower side of the mounting plate 31 is hinged to the hinge part 11 on the lower side of the flat mop body 1. A wiping cloth passes around the lower arc-shaped transition surface 30 and is fixed to the surface of the two wiping plates 3.

[0021] The quick-release structure includes buckles 51 and latches 52 on the connecting plate 32, and buckles 51 and locking holes 53 on the mounting plate 31 corresponding to the buckles 51 and latches 52. During installation, the buckles 51 of the connecting plate 32 and the mounting plate 31 are inserted into each other, and the latches 52 and locking holes 53 lock the connecting plate 32 to the mounting plate 31. The quick-release structure can realize the quick assembly and separation of the connecting plate 32 and the mounting plate 31. The wiping cloth can be put on or fixed on the connecting plate 32, and the wiping cloth can be quickly replaced.

[0022] This invention moves the movable connecting seat 2 of the handle from the center of the top surface of the flat mop body 1 to the middle position of the side, thus allowing the front and rear sides of the flat mop body 1 to be used for mounting the wiping plate 2; this invention also raises the wiping plate 3 relative to the flat mop body 1, such as... Figure 8As shown, when mopping, the flat mop body is laid flat with one side of the wiping plate touching the ground. At this time, the movable connecting seat is equivalent to the center of the top surface of the wiping plate, and the usage effect is the same as that of a regular single-sided mop. After one side gets dirty, it can be flipped over to use the other side, without the need for frequent cleaning. The wiping plate can rotate freely, and when one side touches the ground, the other side is raised with the rotation of the handle without interfering with the turning.

[0023] The flat mop body is thinner at the bottom and the wiping plate is curved at the bottom, forming a curved transition surface. After being wrapped with a wiping cloth, it can clean narrow areas such as gaps and corners.
