[0002] When performing daily home cleaning or other cleaning work, there are often some narrow gaps that are difficult to clean; conventional cleaning tools are difficult to penetrate these narrow gaps, resulting in the inability to handle the dirt inside. Even if some cleaning tools with narrow surface structures are used to penetrate the inside of the gaps, it is difficult to ensure that the cleaning is sufficient at one time. Often, it is necessary to repeatedly penetrate and scrub by changing the angle of the cleaning tool and applying forces in different directions, which is time-consuming and laborious, with low cleaning efficiency and poor cleaning effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a melamine foam cleaning brush, which can penetrate into narrow gaps that are difficult to clean and fill the inside to carry out cleaning work. It is convenient and fast to use, easy to operate, and can clean the dirt inside the narrow gaps sufficiently without too many repeated cleaning operations, with high cleaning efficiency and good cleaning effect.

[0004] The technical solution of this application is as follows:

[0005] This application embodiment provides a melamine foam cleaning brush, which includes a mounting support plate. Melamine foam layers are arranged on both sides of the mounting support plate, and the two melamine foam layers wrap the mounting support plate together to form a brush body for cleaning narrow gaps;

[0006] A water-soluble film layer is coated on the surface of the melamine foam layer, and the water-soluble film layer is attached to the outer surface of the melamine foam layer and connected to the mounting support plate;

[0007] The melamine foam layer is oppressed and restricted by the water-soluble film layer, so that the melamine foam layer is in a compressed state.

[0008] Further, in some embodiments of this application, a surfactant is filled in the melamine foam layer.

[0009] Further, in some embodiments of this application, the surfactant is any one of sodium monolauryl sulfosuccinate, monolauryl phosphate, and coconut monoethanolamide.

[0010] Further, in some embodiments of this application, the water-soluble film layer is a polyvinyl alcohol water-soluble film or a water-soluble polyimide film.

[0011] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned mounting support plate is a hard plastic plate or a metal plate, and its thickness is 0.2 - 0.4 mm.

[0012] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the above-mentioned melamine foam layer in the compressed state is 2.5 - 80 mm, and the thickness in the normal extended state is 5 - 100 mm.

[0013] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the above-mentioned water-soluble film layer is 0.03 - 0.10 mm.

[0014] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, a handle for grasping is provided at the end of the above-mentioned mounting support plate. One end of the above-mentioned handle is connected to the end of the above-mentioned mounting support plate, and the other end is a free end.

[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 , the embodiment of the present application provides a melamine foam cleaning brush, which includes a mounting support plate 1. Melamine foam layers 2 are arranged on both sides of the mounting support plate 1, and the melamine foam layers 2 are bonded to the mounting support plate 1; the two melamine foam layers 2 wrap the mounting support plate 1 to jointly form a brush body for cleaning narrow gaps;

[0035] A water-soluble film layer 3 is covered on the surface of the melamine foam layer 2, and the water-soluble film layer 3 is attached to the outer surface of the melamine foam layer 2 and connected to the mounting support plate 1;

[0036] The melamine foam layer 2 is pressed and constrained by the water-soluble film layer 3, so that the melamine foam layer 2 is in a compressed state.

[0037] In the above embodiment, when cleaning the narrow gap part, the entire foam brush is immersed in water and then quickly inserted into the gap, or water is sprayed on it to wet it after the foam brush is inserted into the gap. The outermost water-soluble film layer 3 will gradually dissolve when encountering water. After dissolution, the melamine foam layer 2 loses the external pressure and gradually expands from the compressed state, increasing in volume, so as to fully fill the inside of the narrow gap; after the melamine foam layer 2 expands and fills the inside of the gap, only a simple sliding operation along the gap is required to adsorb the dirt inside the narrow gap on the melamine foam material with a porous structure, so as to achieve a comprehensive cleaning of the inside of the gap. It is convenient and fast to use, without repeatedly looking for angles to apply force, nor performing too many repeated cleaning operations, which can effectively improve the cleaning efficiency of the gap part, and the cleaning effect is obvious.

[0038] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, a surfactant 4 is filled in the melamine foam layer 2.

[0039] In the above embodiments, the melamine foam layer 2 has a porous structure. The surfactant 4 is heated and melted into a fluid state and injected into the pore structure of the melamine foam layer 2 by means of injection or the like, so as to fill the surfactant 4 inside the melamine foam layer 2; the surfactant 4 has a cleaning effect on dirt such as oil stains. Filling the surfactant 4 in the melamine foam layer 2 is equivalent to making the whole cleaning brush come with a cleaning agent itself; when performing a cleaning operation, only need to soak the melamine foam layer 2 to absorb water, and the cleaning effect of the surfactant 4 can be exerted, which helps to further improve the cleaning work efficiency.

[0040] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, the above surfactant 4 is any one of sodium lauryl sulfosuccinate, monolauryl phosphate, and coconut oil monoethanolamide.

[0041] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, the above water-soluble film layer 3 is a polyvinyl alcohol water-soluble film or a water-soluble polyimide film.

[0042] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, the above mounting support plate 1 is a rigid plastic plate or a metal plate, and its thickness is 0.2 - 0.4 mm.

[0043] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the above melamine foam layer 2 in the compressed state is 2.5 - 80 mm, and the thickness in the normal extended state is 5 - 100 mm.

[0044] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the above water-soluble film layer 3 is 0.03 - 0.10 mm.

[0045] In the above embodiments, by limiting the structural dimensions, it is ensured that the cleaning operation can be better performed on narrow gap parts.

[0046] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, a handle 5 for gripping is provided at the end of the above mounting support plate 1. One end of the above handle 5 is connected to the end of the above mounting support plate 1, and the other end is a free end.

[0047] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, the cross-section of the above handle 5 is L-shaped.

[0048] In the above embodiment, the handle with an L-shaped cross-section can facilitate the grasping of the cleaning brush while also making it more convenient to insert the cleaning brush body into narrow gaps such as corners and furniture crevices. Specifically, the short side of the L shape is connected to the mounting support plate 1, and the long side is for human hand grasping. Moreover, the short side of the L shape and the mounting support plate 1 are on the same horizontal plane, thereby ensuring that while the cleaning brush is stably grasped, the cleaning brush body can also be smoothly inserted into the narrow gap where cleaning work needs to be carried out, which is more conducive to use.

[0049] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present application, the overall cross-section of the above brush body is elliptical, and the mounting support plate 1 is arranged along the long axis direction of the ellipse.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the brush body with an elliptical cross-section can more conveniently penetrate into narrow gap parts for cleaning work; and the mounting support plate 1 arranged along the long axis of the ellipse, in cooperation with the handle with an L-shaped cross-section, can also make the grasping and cleaning operations more convenient.
