Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of daily cleaning, in particular to a mop bucket with a drainage plug that can prevent it from falling off. Background Art

[0002] A mop is a main tool for floor cleaning in daily life and is generally used with a mop bucket. The mop bucket is filled with water and the mop is placed in the bucket for cleaning. In order to facilitate pouring water, a drain port and a drain plug are provided on the mop head. Drainage is achieved by pulling out the drain plug, but the drain plug is easily lost after being pulled out, resulting in the mop bucket being unable to store water, which is quite troublesome.

[0003] Patent CN201520116115.7 provides a mop bucket with a water plug, the water plug body of the mop bucket includes a snap ring, a connecting strip, a water plug, and a concave-convex groove. The snap ring is sleeved on the water outlet, and the water plug is connected to the snap ring through the connecting strip. The snap ring on the water plug body is sleeved on the convex ring on the water outlet so that it will not be lost. The water plug of this patent is prevented from falling off by setting a snap ring, but the snap ring needs to be stretched open and then installed with the convex ring in a tight fit. If the snap ring and the convex ring have a poor tight fit, the snap ring is easy to be pulled out with the water plug. If the snap ring has a good tight fit, it is difficult to install the snap ring on the convex ring without the assistance of a machine during installation, and consumers cannot replace the water plug body by themselves. Therefore, the water plug body needs to be further optimized to facilitate installation and prevent the water plug from falling off. Utility Model Content

[0004] One purpose of the utility model is to provide a mop bucket with a drain plug that can prevent it from falling off, which can solve the above-mentioned problem.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned utility model purpose, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A mop bucket with a drain plug that can prevent it from falling off, wherein a first concave cavity is provided at the lower end of the side wall of the mop bucket, a drain hole is provided through the first concave cavity, a pluggable drain plug is provided on the drain hole, a second concave cavity is provided on the bottom wall of the mop bucket below the first concave cavity, a baffle is provided between the first and second concave cavities, a through hole is provided on the baffle, an entrance open to the bottom is provided at the lower end of the through hole, the width of the entrance is smaller than the width of the through hole, a fixing belt made of flexible material is provided on the drain plug, a convex block is provided at the end of the fixing belt, the width of the convex block is larger than the width of the through hole, the fixing belt passes through the entrance and enters the through hole, the convex block prevents the fixing belt from detaching from the through hole, and the drain plug is suitable for positioning the pulled-out drain plug on the mop bucket. By providing a fixing belt and a protrusion on the drain plug, the drain plug will always be connected to the mop bucket after being pulled out to prevent the drain plug from falling and being lost; an open entrance is provided on the through hole to facilitate the installation of the fixing belt in the through hole. Compared with directly deforming the protrusion and pressing it into the through hole, the installation is more convenient and labor-saving by providing an entrance, and the installation can be completed without the assistance of tools and machines. Consumers can also replace the drain plug by hand.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing belt enters the through hole by its own deformation. The entrance is to assist the fixing belt to enter the through hole for installation and use. The fixing belt deforms and enters, which can increase the difficulty of the fixing belt to escape from the through hole. The fixing belt will only leave the through hole when a large downward force is applied to the fixing belt, which can reduce the situation of the fixing belt falling during daily use.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing belt is in strip shape, and its width is greater than its thickness. The thickness of the fixing belt matches the width of the entrance. The fixing belt passes through the entrance in its thickness direction, and changes its moving direction at the connection between the entrance and the through hole through its own deformation, so that the fixing belt is accommodated in the through hole as a whole. The installation is convenient, and the fixing belt will only be separated from the through hole when it is compressed or twisted, so as to avoid the fixing belt falling off during daily use.

[0009] Preferably, the size of the fixing belt in any direction is larger than the width of the inlet, and the fixing belt is deformed under the pressure of the inlet to pass through the inlet and enter the through hole, thereby preventing the fixing belt from falling off the through hole due to gravity.

[0010] Preferably, the drain plug is integrally formed with the fixing belt, and the drain plug is also made of a flexible material.

[0011] Preferably, the drain plug includes a plug body and a pull ring, and the plug body achieves a tight seal with the drain hole through its own deformation. The pull ring is arranged at the rear end of the plug body and is suitable for the user to apply force to pull the plug body apart from the drain hole, and one end of the fixing belt is fixed on the pull ring.

[0012] Preferably, the edge of the drain hole is provided with a tube body extending outward, and the front end of the plug body is provided with a socket, which is adapted to the tube body so that the socket is inserted into the drain hole or the tube body is inserted into the socket to form a tight seal.

[0013] Preferably, a sealing ring protruding outward is provided on the plug body.

[0014] Preferably, a support bar is provided at the bottom of the mop bucket, and the bottom surface of the support bar is flush with the bottom surface of the baffle, or a portion of the support bar is provided as the baffle.

[0015] The advantages of the utility model are: by arranging a fixing belt and a protrusion on the drain plug, the drain plug will always be connected to the mop bucket after being pulled out to prevent the drain plug from falling and being lost; an open entrance is arranged on the through hole, which facilitates the installation of the fixing belt in the through hole. Compared with directly deforming the protrusion and pressing it into the through hole, the installation is more convenient and labor-saving by setting the entrance, and the installation can be completed without the assistance of tools and machines. Consumers can also replace the drain plug by hand. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
