[0002] A mop is the main tool for floor cleaning in daily life. Generally, the mop rod and the mop head of the existing mop are set in a universal hinge structure, so that the mop rod and the mop head can rotate in multiple directions and at multiple angles to facilitate cleaning under tables, beds and other positions. However, due to the flexible rotation between the mop rod and the mop head, the mop needs to be placed against the wall when it is idle to avoid the mop rod from falling down.

[0003] Patent CN201410580194.7 provides a self-squeezing flat mop. The mop rod of the flat mop is movably connected to the mop head. A sliding sleeve is arranged on the mop rod, and a squeezing head for squeezing water from the mop cloth is arranged at the lower end of the sliding sleeve. When the squeezing head is in the low position, it also serves as a base, enabling the mop to stand upright. Since the mop head of a rotatable mop is mostly set as circular, and the cleaning and dehydration of the mop cloth are realized by the rotation of the mop head, it is difficult to arrange a sliding sleeve and a squeezing head on the mop rod to achieve the upright placement of the mop. Therefore, the rotatable mop still needs to be further optimized to achieve upright placement. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] An object of the utility model is to provide a rotatable mop that can stand upright to solve the above problems.

[0026] An upright rotatable mop, comprising a rotatable mop 1 and a support device 2. The rotatable mop 1 includes a mop rod 3 and a mop head 4. The mop rod 3 and the mop head 4 are rotatably connected by a hinge 5. A wiping member 6 is provided on the mop head 4. The support device 2 includes a support rod 7. A first through hole 8 is provided on the mop head 4, a second through hole 9 is provided on the hinge 5, and a support portion 10 is provided at the lower end of the mop rod 3. When the mop rod 3 rotates to a position perpendicular to the mop head 4, the first through hole 8, the second through hole 9 and the support portion 10 are on the same straight line. The support rod 7 passes through the first through hole 8 and the second through hole 9 and enters the support portion 10. The support rod 7 cooperates with the support portion 10 to prevent the mop rod 3 from rotating relative to the hinge 5, so as to place the rotatable mop 1 maintained in a vertical state on a horizontal surface. Embodiment 1

[0027] As Figure 1-6 , in this embodiment, the support device 2 is provided on the mop bucket 11. The bottom wall of the mop bucket 11 forms the base of the support device 2, or a base 12 is provided on the support device 2 and fixedly connected to the mop bucket 11. When the mop bucket 11 is placed horizontally, the support rod 7 extends upward along the bottom of the mop bucket 11 and remains upright in the vertical direction.

[0028] Specifically, the mop bucket 11 includes a clean water area 13 and a cleaning area 14. A partition 15 is provided between the clean water area 13 and the cleaning area 14. The support rod 7 passes through the partition 15 to connect the clean water area 13 and the cleaning area 14. The support device 2 further includes a support table 16. The support table 16 is located in the cleaning area 14, and the top of the support table 16 is lower than the top of the support rod 7. When the rotatable mop 1 is placed in the cleaning area 14, the support rod 7 passes through the mop head 4, and the support table 16 supports the lower part of the mop head 4. There is a gap between the wiping member 6 and the partition 15. When the rotatable mop 1 is left standing in the cleaning area 14, it is convenient for the wiping member 6 to be suspended and dried.

[0029] In this embodiment, the mop rod 3 includes an inner rod 17 and an outer rod 18. The lower end of the inner rod 17 is connected to the mop head 4. The inner and outer rods are sleeved with each other. A driving mechanism is provided between the inner and outer rods. The driving mechanism converts the telescopic movement of the mop rod 3 into the rotational movement of the mop head 4. When the rotatable mop 1 is placed in the cleaning area 14, the support rod 7 or the support table 16 supports the mop head 4. Pressing the outer rod 18 up and down drives the mop head 4 and the wiping member 6 to rotate around the axis of the mop rod 3 for cleaning and dewatering. The support rod 7 and the mop rod 3 are on the same straight line, making the rotation of the rotatable mop 1 more stable.

[0030] The mop bucket 11 is also provided with a water spraying device. The water spraying device is connected to the clean water area 13 and the cleaning area 14, and drives the water in the clean water area 13 to the cleaning area 14 for the rotary mop 1 to clean the wiping object 6. The water spraying device includes an impeller 19, a pipeline 20 and a water spraying head 21. The impeller 19 is connected to the supporting device 2. When the mop head 4 rotates, it drives the impeller 19 to rotate. The impeller 19 transports the water in the clean water area 13 into the pipeline 20, and sprays the water onto the wiping object 6 through the water spraying head 21. The mop head 4 and the wiping object 6 are suspended, avoiding the wiping object 6 contacting the water spraying head 21 on the partition plate 15 and blocking the water spraying head 21, facilitating the water spraying head 21 to spray water upwards. After the water cleans the wiping object 6, it is thrown away around by the rotation of the wiping object 6 and flows downward along the side wall of the mop bucket 11 into the sewage area 22.

[0031] Preferably, a hinge seat 23 is provided on the top surface of the mop head 4. The hinge seat 23 is rotationally connected to the hinge member 5 along the first axis 24. The lower end of the mop rod 3 is rotationally connected to the hinge member 5 along the second axis 25. The first axis 24 and the second axis 25 are perpendicular. The mop rod 3 and the mop head 4 rotate relative to the hinge member 5 respectively to expand the rotation angle between the mop rod 3 and the mop head 4, making the use of the rotary mop 1 more flexible when mopping the floor, so as to enter positions such as under the table and under the bed for cleaning, and can also flexibly rotate to avoid obstacles such as table corners. A third through hole 26 is provided below the supporting part 10 of the mop head 4. When the mop rod 3 rotates relative to the mop head 4 to a parallel state, the hinge seat 23 can be accommodated in the third through hole 26.

[0032] In the above embodiment, as Figure 4 , the mop rod 3 and the mop head 4 are located above the center of the mop head 4. When it is necessary to clean the wiping object 6, the mop rod 3 is lifted upwards to make the mop head 4 suspended. The mop head 4 and the hinge member 5 automatically rotate under the action of gravity, making the mop head 4 swing to a position where the bottom surface is horizontal. The first through hole 8, the second through hole 9 and the supporting part 10 are located on the same vertical line, and the support rod 7 can conveniently enter the first through hole 8, the second through hole 9 and the supporting part 10 in sequence.

[0033] In order to keep the first through hole 8, the second through hole 9 and the supporting part 10 on the same straight line, a first support foot 27 is provided at the lower end of the hinge member 5. The bottom surface of the first support foot 27 is flush with the mop head 4, so as to cooperate with the mop head 4 to abut and keep the hinge member 5 and the mop head 4 in a state where the first through hole 8 and the second through hole 9 are on the same straight line. A second support foot 28 is provided at the lower end of the mop rod 3. The hinge member 5 is provided with an extension part 29 at the position corresponding to the second support foot 28. The second support foot 28 can cooperate with the extension part 29 to abut, so as to keep the mop rod 3 and the hinge member 5 in a state where the second through hole 9 and the supporting part 10 are on the same straight line.

[0034] The cross-section of the first leg 27 and the second leg 28 is roughly square and the bottom surfaces have flat contact surfaces. When the first leg 27 and the second leg 28 rotate relative to their contact surfaces: the top surface of the mop head 4 and the top surface of the extension portion 29, the rotation radius of the middle part of the contact surface is smaller than the rotation radius of the two end portions. The two end portions of the contact surface abut against their contact surfaces to limit the rotation of the first leg 27 and the second leg 28, so that the first through hole 8, the second through hole 9 and the support portion 10 are kept in the same straight line. The first leg 27, the second leg 28, the extension portion 29 or the mop head 4 can only be released from the limit position when deformed by a large external force, such as when the user manually moves the mop rod 3 or the mop head 4 to rotate it.

[0035] In the above embodiment, the support portion 10 can be configured as a through hole extending vertically. Figure 4 ), or a groove ( Figure 7 The rotary mop 1 and the supporting device 2 can be supported by the groove of the supporting portion 10 and the supporting rod 7, or by other means, such as support between the supporting platform 16 and the mop head 4, such as Figure 5 The support rod 7 is configured as two upper and lower sections with different diameters, and the step 30 formed by the diameter difference forms a support with the first through hole 8, the second through hole 9 or the through hole of the support portion 10.

[0036] By passing the support rod 7 through the first through hole 8, the second through hole 9 and the support part 10, the mop rod 3 and the hinge 5, and the hinge 5 and the mop head 4 cannot rotate relative to each other when the mop rod 3 is stationary. The mop rod 3 can be placed upright even without leaning against a wall, and the mop head 4 and the wiping material 6 are kept in a suspended position, so that air can circulate under the wiping material 6 when idle, accelerating the drying of the wiping material 6 and preventing bacteria from breeding and generating odor. When the user is cleaning the mop head 4 or needs to store it, it can be directly placed upright with the support of the support device 2. Example 2

[0037] The same parts as those in Example 2 and Example 1 will not be repeated, and only the differences will be described. The difference lies in the structure of the supporting device 2.

[0038] like Figure 7-8 In this embodiment, the supporting device 2 and the mop bucket 11 are independently provided, that is, the supporting device 2 can be installed on the mop bucket 11 for use together or separated from the mop bucket 11 for use alone.

[0039] Specifically, the supporting device 2 includes a support rod 7 and a base 12. The support rod 7 is fixedly installed at the center of the base 12, and the support rod 7 is perpendicular to the base 12. When the base 12 is placed on a horizontal ground or tabletop, the support rod 7 extends in the vertical direction. Rotate the rotary mop 1 to a state where the mop rod 3 and the mop head 4 are perpendicular. The support rod 7 sequentially passes through the first through hole 8 and the second through hole 9, and then enters the support portion 10 to hold the mop rod 3 in an upright position.

[0040] In this embodiment, the rotary mop 1 realizes up and down support by the contact between the bottom surface of the mop head 4 or the wiping object 6 and the base 12. It is also possible to set the support portion 10 as a groove with an open bottom end, and use the abutment between the groove and the top of the support rod 7 to realize up and down support. It is also possible to set the support rod 7 as two parts with different diameters up and down, and form support through the step 30 formed by the diameter difference and the through holes of the first through hole 8, the second through hole 9 or the support portion 10, so as to hold the wiping object 6 in a suspended position for drying of the wiping object 6.

[0041] Preferably, a counterweight 31 is provided on the base 12 to prevent the mop rod 3 from shaking and causing the rotary mop 1 and the supporting device 2 to tip over together.

[0042] Preferably, the support rod 7 is set as a telescopic rod. When the wiping object 6 is set as a sheet-shaped mop or a strip-shaped mop head, the user can adjust the height of the support rod 7 according to needs to hold different wiping objects 6 in a suspended state.

[0043] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
