Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of daily cleaning, in particular to an anti-warping flat mop. Background Art
[0002] As a cleaning tool, the mop is widely used in floor cleaning, high-place glass cleaning, car roof cleaning, etc. The mop head of the existing flat mop is generally made of plastic, and a hinge seat is integrally formed on the mop head, which is rotatably connected to the mop rod through the hinge seat. The mop head is easy to produce and has low cost, but the rigidity of the plastic mop head is poor, and the mop head is easy to deform during installation, transportation and use.
[0003] Later, a metal mop head appeared on the market. Compared with plastic, metal has better rigidity and is not easy to deform. However, the mop head is fixedly connected to the hinge seat. When the flat mop is in use, the rotation angle between the mop rod and the mop head is limited. When the mop rod rotates to the limit angle, it hits one side of the hinge seat, and the other side of the hinge seat and the mop head loosen and tilt. Therefore, a flat mop with better rigidity of the mop head and hinge seat that is not easy to tilt is needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] One object of the utility model is to provide a flat mop which can prevent warping and 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 flat mop with anti-warping comprises a mop rod, a mop head and a wiping object, wherein the mop head is made of metal, an articulated seat is fixedly mounted on the mop head, a connecting piece is arranged at the lower end of the mop rod, the connecting piece is rotatably connected to the articulated seat through an articulated piece, a first cavity and a second cavity are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the connecting piece, the articulated seat can be extended into the first cavity, so that the mop head and the mop rod are rotated to a parallel angle, the second cavity forms a clearance space of the articulated seat, the mop head is rotated toward one side of the second cavity, the second cavity abuts against the articulated seat, so that the mop rod and the mop head maintain an inclined angle, and the angle range is 10°-25°. The first cavity and the second cavity are arranged to give way to the hinge seat to expand the rotation angle between the mop rod and the mop head, which is convenient for cleaning the mop and extending the mop under the bed, etc., to avoid the situation where the mop rod cannot be used in a small space when the rotation angle between the mop rod and the mop head is limited. When the rotation angle is insufficient, the user is likely to apply excessive force, causing the mop rod to butt against one side of the hinge seat and the other side to push upward. After long-term use, the fixed position between the hinge seat and the mop head is likely to loosen or even tilt.
[0007] Preferably, the mop head is fixedly connected to the hinge seat by screws or rivets. Compared with structures such as snap fits and plug-ins, screw or rivet connections are more stable.
[0008] Preferably, at least two fixing holes penetrating up and down are provided on the mop head, and two of the fixing holes are respectively located on opposite sides of the hinge member. The hinge seat is provided with fixing parts at positions corresponding to the fixing holes, and a screw or rivet passes through the fixing holes and cooperates with the fixing parts for fixation.

[0010] Preferably, the mop head includes a top plate and a bottom plate. The top plate is made of metal, and the bottom plate is made of plastic. A first folding part and a second folding part are provided in the long side direction of the top plate. A chute is formed between the first folding part and the second folding part. The bottom plate can be inserted along the edge of the top plate and move along the chute to a position aligned with the top plate. The second folding part prevents the bottom plate from disengaging downward from the top plate. The setting of the chute facilitates better positioning of the mop head during production and installation.
[0011] Preferably, a third folding part is provided at the inner end of the second folding part. The third folding part extends upward and forms a gap with the upper surface of the top plate. The bottom plate is provided with a slot at a position corresponding to the third folding part. When the top plate and the bottom plate are installed, the third folding part is inserted into the slot, and the bottom plate is located in the gap between the top plate and the third folding part. The setting of the third folding part can increase the strength of the top plate and avoid deformation.

[0027] Such as Figure 1-8 , an anti-warping flat mop, including a mop rod 1, a mop head 2 and a wiping object. The mop head 2 is made of metal. An articulated seat 3 is fixedly installed on the mop head 2. A connecting member 4 is provided at the lower end of the mop rod 1. The connecting member 4 and the articulated seat 3 are rotatably connected through an articulating member 5. First cavities 6 and second cavities 7 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the connecting member 4. The articulated seat 3 can extend into the first cavity 6 so that the mop head 2 and the mop rod 1 are rotated to an angle parallel to each other. The second cavity 7 forms a space for the articulated seat 3 to give way. The mop head 2 rotates towards the second cavity 7 side, and the second cavity 7 abuts against the articulated seat 3 so that the mop rod 1 and the mop head 2 maintain an inclined included angle A.
[0028] In order to facilitate the cleaning of the wiping object, a water squeezing device 8 is movably connected to the mop rod 1 in this embodiment. And when the wiping object is cleaned and squeezed, the mop rod 1 and the mop head 2 are rotated to an angle parallel to each other so that the mop head 2 and the wiping object can simultaneously pass through the water squeezing device 8.
[0029] Specifically, the hinge seat 3 protrudes along the upper surface of the mop head 2. The protruding hinge seat 3 is hinged to the hinge member 5. A positioning member 9 is provided at the lower end of the connecting member 4. When the mop rod 1 rotates relative to the mop head 2, the positioning member 9 slides along the surface of the hinge member 5. When the mop head 2 rotates towards the direction close to the first cavity 6, the hinge seat 3 extends into the first cavity 6. The positioning member 9 cooperates with the hinge member 5 for positioning, positioning the mop rod 1 and the mop head 2 at a parallel angle. At this time, the up-and-down squeezing device 8 is activated, enabling the mop head 2 and the wiping object to pass through the squeezing device 8 for cleaning and squeezing.
[0030] In the existing flat mops, when the mop rod 1 and the mop head 2 rotate to the limit angle in the direction away from the first cavity 6, the angle A between the mop rod 1 and the mop head 2 is approximately 30°. As Figure 4 shown, at this angle, due to the obstruction of the mop rod 1, it is difficult for the mop head 2 and the mop rod 1 to enter narrow positions such as under the bed for use. In this embodiment, by providing a clearance between the second cavity 7 and the hinge seat 3, the angle A is reduced. Since the positioning member 9 needs to be installed on the connecting member 4, the size of the second cavity 7 cannot be adapted to that of the first cavity 6 to make the mop rod 1 and the mop head 2 parallel.
[0031] Preferably, the angle A between the mop rod 1 and the mop head 2 ranges from 10° to 25°. At this angle, the rotation angle between the mop rod 1 and the mop head 2 can be enlarged, and it can be avoided that the side wall of the connecting member 4 is too thin, resulting in the rupture of the connecting member 4. As Figure 5 shown, the angle A in this embodiment is 18°.
[0032] In this embodiment, the mop head 2 and the hinge seat 3 are fixedly connected by screws or rivets. Specifically, at least two fixing holes 10 penetrating up and down are provided on the mop head 2. Two of the fixing holes 10 are respectively located on opposite sides of the hinge member 5. The hinge seat 3 is provided with fixing parts at positions corresponding to the respective fixing holes 10. The screw or rivet passes through the fixing hole 10 and cooperates with the fixing part for fixation.
[0033] Preferably, the mop head 2 includes a top plate 11 and a bottom plate 12. The top plate 11 is made of metal, and the bottom plate 12 is made of plastic. A first folding part 13 and a second folding part 14 are provided in the long side direction of the top plate 11. A chute 15 is formed between the first folding part 13 and the second folding part 14. The bottom plate 12 can be inserted along the edge of the top plate 11 and move along the chute 15 to a position aligned with the top plate 11. The second folding part 14 prevents the bottom plate 12 from detaching downward from the top plate 11.
[0034] To increase the strength of the top plate 11 and prevent deformation, a third folding portion 16 is provided at the inner end of the second folding portion 14. The third folding portion 16 extends upward and forms a gap with the upper surface of the top plate 11. A slot 17 is provided on the bottom plate 12 at the position corresponding to the third folding portion 16. When the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 12 are installed, the third folding portion 16 is inserted into the slot 17, and the bottom plate 12 is located in the gap between the top plate 11 and the third folding portion 16.
[0035] A pressing groove 18 is provided at the center of the top plate 11. The pressing groove 18 extends along the length direction of the top plate 11. The hinge seat 3 is installed on the pressing groove 18. A settling surface 19 is provided in the middle of the hinge seat 3. A through hole 20 is provided on the top plate 11 at the position of the settling surface 19. The hinge seat 3 is inserted into the through hole 20. The settling surface 19 is lower than the upper surface of the top plate 11. When the mop rod 1 rotates relative to the width direction of the mop head 2, the settling surface 19 can give way to the connecting member 4 to expand the rotation angle of the mop rod 1.
[0036] Preferably, the end of the bottom plate 12 is provided with a first insertion piece 21 and a second insertion piece 22 arranged vertically. The first insertion piece 21 cooperates with the top plate 11 for limiting, and the second insertion piece 22 cooperates with the end of the wiping object for fixing.
[0037] It can also be set that the mop head 2 further includes an end cap 23. There is a sandwich layer between the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 12. The end cap 23 is inserted into the sandwich layer for fixing. A first insertion piece 21 is provided at the end of the end cap 23. The first insertion piece 21 cooperates with the top plate 11 for limiting. A second insertion piece 22 is provided on the bottom plate 12. The second insertion piece 22 cooperates with the end of the wiping object for fixing.
[0038] In this embodiment, a first insertion piece 21 and a second insertion piece 22 are provided at one end of the bottom plate 12, and an end cap 23 is provided at the other end. During installation, the end of the bottom plate 12 without the first insertion piece 21 is inserted into the top plate 11. The bottom plate 12 moves along the sliding groove 15 until the first insertion piece 21 at the end cooperates with the top plate 11 for limiting. Then the end cap 23 is inserted between the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 12 for fixing. Both ends of the installed top plate 11 are positioned by the first insertion piece 21 to prevent the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 12 from separating.
[0039] In other embodiments, it can also be set that first insertion pieces 21 and second insertion pieces 22 are provided at both ends of the bottom plate 12, or after the bottom plate 12 and the top plate 11 are connected, both ends are fixed by an end cap 23.
[0040] Preferably, the bottom plate 12 and the end cap 23 are respectively provided with a first limiting portion 24 and a second limiting portion 25. The first limiting portion 24 and the second limiting portion 25 cooperate to prevent the end cap 23 from detaching from the mop head 2.
[0041] To facilitate the installation and removal of the wiping object, a switch 26 is provided on the mop head 2, a flap 27 is provided at the end of the bottom plate 12, a second insert piece 22 and a locking part 28 are provided on the flap 27, and the switch 26 cooperates with the locking part 28 to lock and unlock the flap 27. When the switch 26 is unlocked, the flap 27 can be turned downward to change the distance between the second insert piece 22 and the other end of the mop head 2.
