Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a mop cleaning tool, in particular to a cleaning tool based on a folded foam mop, wherein the foam can be collodion, sponge, soft cotton or the like. Background Art

[0002] The applicant has applied for a Chinese utility model patent with patent number ZL202320949667.0 (publication number CN220655526U) entitled "A miniaturized folding foam mop", which discloses a foam mop structure comprising a mop rod, a bracket, and a gripping rod. The bracket is hinged with a folding portion on both sides, and the folding portion is kept horizontal by an elastic member. A foam wipe is mounted on the folding portion. The bracket is arranged at the lower end of the gripping rod, and the mop rod is inserted into the gripping rod and can be axially adjusted relative to the gripping rod. The folding portion is in a horizontally unfolded position, and the blocking portion blocks the inner end of the folding portion, thereby locking the folding portion in the horizontal position; the downward movement of the water squeezing frame can enable the blocking portion to break away from the blocking of the inner end of the folding portion, and the continued downward movement of the water squeezing frame can also push the folding portions on both sides to swing downward relative to the bracket.

[0003] When squeezing water, one hand holds the handle and releases the lock between the handle and the mop handle, while the other hand pushes the mop handle downward, causing the squeezing frame to move downward. The blocking portion at the lower end of the squeezing frame disengages from the inner end of the folded portion, and the squeezing frame moves downward further to contact the folded portion and drive the folded portion to deflect toward the folded position. The squeezing frame moves downward further, causing the upper end of the folded foam wipe to contract from top to bottom, thereby squeezing water. By moving the mop handle up and down multiple times, the upper end of the folded foam wipe repeatedly contracts from top to bottom, and finally squeezing water is completed.

[0004] The aforementioned foam mop requires a water squeezing rack to be provided on the mop handle for squeezing water therefrom, and when squeezing water, the user needs to move to the bathroom to perform the squeezing operation.

[0005] For this reason, this foam mop with water-squeezing frame has certain defectives in use. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a cleaning tool based on a folded foam mop, which has an effectively lowered barrel height, can receive sewage, and provides storage space for the mop, in response to the above-mentioned existing technical status.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a cleaning tool based on a foldable foam mop, comprising a mop and a mop bucket, the mop comprising a mop rod and a mop head connected to the lower end of the mop rod and capable of being folded in half, the mop head being equipped with a foam wipe that can be folded in half along with the mop head; the utility model is characterized in that: at least a pair of spaced-apart squeezing components are provided in the mop bucket, a squeezing channel is formed between the two squeezing components, the folded mop head can pass through the squeezing channel, and the squeezing components can squeeze and dehydrate the folded foam wipe that passes through the squeezing channel.

[0008] Of course, you can also set up two pairs, one pair in front and back, and one pair in left and right.

[0009] As an option of the water squeezing component, the water squeezing component is a water squeezing block, a water squeezing roller or a water squeezing bar.

[0010] As a further improvement, the squeezing component on at least one side can move toward or away from the squeezing component on the other side; when the folded mop head moves downward in the squeezing channel, the squeezing component moves toward the other squeezing component; when the folded mop head moves upward in the squeezing channel, the squeezing component moves away from the other squeezing component. When the folded mop head moves downward through the squeezing channel to squeeze water, the two squeezing components on opposite sides move toward each other, which can better squeeze the foam and improve the squeezing effect; when the folded mop head moves upward to leave the squeezing channel, the two squeezing components on opposite sides move away from each other, facilitating the mop head's departure.

[0011] If there are two pairs of squeezing parts, the downward movement of the mop head drives the four squeezing parts to simultaneously retract and squeeze the foam wipe, or the upward movement of the mop head drives the four squeezing parts to simultaneously move outward to make way, that is, squeezing inward from four directions, which has a better squeezing effect. The squeezing parts can be flat, L-shaped, or curved.

[0012] Preferably, the squeezing component is a squeezing block, with downwardly sloping guide ribs provided on the inner wall of the mop bucket, and downwardly sloping guide grooves provided on the back of the squeezing block for insertion of the guide ribs. The squeezing block can move along the guide ribs relative to the inner wall of the mop bucket. This provides a larger contact area between the squeezing block and the collodion, resulting in more efficient squeezing of water. The cooperation between the guide ribs and the guide grooves ensures smoother movement of the relatively positioned squeezing blocks toward and away from each other.

[0013] To facilitate installation of the squeeze block within the mop bucket and meet mobility requirements, the squeeze block is installed within the mop bucket. The mop bucket comprises a barrel body with an open upper end. A collar is fixed to the open end. The collar has a mounting wall extending downwardly into the barrel body. The guide ribs are provided on the mounting wall. During installation, the squeeze block is first installed on the guide ribs of the mounting wall and then installed into the barrel body along with the collar.

[0014] A further improvement is that the mop bucket is further provided with a support plate, and the two water squeeze blocks are mounted on the support plate via a dovetail groove structure. The water squeeze blocks can move downward with the support plate and can also slide relative to the support plate. When the folded mop head moves downward and contacts the support plate, further downward movement will push the water squeeze blocks downward. The downward movement of the water squeeze blocks will move closer to each other under the action of the guide ribs and guide grooves. The water squeeze blocks and the support plate together form a linkage mechanism, which better ensures the lateral movement of the water squeeze blocks.

[0015] As an improvement, a spring is supported between the support plate and the bottom surface of the mop bucket. The support plate and the bottom surface of the mop bucket are in elastic contact, which makes it easier to move the mop down, and the spring has a certain restoring force when pulling the mop up, making it easier to pull the mop up.

[0016] Preferably, the water squeezing component is a water squeezing roller. A swing arm is rotatably connected to the mop bucket, and a stopper is provided below the swing arm to limit its downward swing. The water squeezing roller is mounted on the swing arm. The swing arm swings so that the water squeezing rollers can move closer to or further away from each other. The stopper limits the downward swing of the swing arm, ensuring that the water squeezing rollers remain at their closest position.

[0017] Alternatively, each pair of the water squeezing components are spaced apart left and right or front and back.

[0018] Preferably, the mop head includes a bracket connected to the lower end of the mop rod, and the left and right sides of the bracket are hinged with a swingable folding part, and the foam wipe is constrained on the folding part in a semi-enclosed or fully enclosed manner. The foam wipe is constrained on the folding part in a semi-enclosed or fully enclosed manner, which allows more foam to be exposed and more fully contacted with the water squeezing component. For the specific mop head structure, please refer to the Chinese utility model patent "A Folding Foam Mop" with patent number 202320956098.2 and authorization announcement number CN219920986U applied for by the applicant, so this application will not be elaborated in detail here.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the cleaning tool are: compared with the traditional foam mop cleaning tool, it adopts a new water squeezing method. During the water squeezing operation, the foam wipe is folded in half as the mop head swings downward. When the foam wipe is passively folded in half, a part of the water is squeezed out first, and the folded mop head is placed in the mop bucket. The folded mop head passes through the water squeezing channel formed by the oppositely arranged water squeezing components. The water squeezing components can squeeze and dehydrate the folded foam wipe passing through the water squeezing channel, and the squeezed sewage is stored in the mop bucket, so the mop bucket can be placed in the living room for squeezing; the mop bucket also provides a placement space for the mop, which is convenient for storage; because the mop head is short after being folded in half, the water squeezing path is also shortened, so the height of the mop bucket can be reduced.

[0030] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 Shown is a first embodiment of a foam mop.

[0032] A cleaning tool based on a foldable foam mop includes a mop 1 and a mop bucket 3. The mop 1 includes a mop rod 11 and a mop head 12 connected to the lower end of the mop rod 11 and capable of folding in half. The mop head 12 is equipped with a foam wiper 2 that can be folded in half along with the mop head 12. The mop head 12 includes a bracket 121 connected to the lower end of the mop rod 11. The bracket 121 has a swingable folding portion 122 hinged on the left and right sides. The foam wiper 2 is constrained on the folding portion 122 in a semi-enclosed or fully enclosed manner. The specific mop head structure can be referred to the Chinese utility model patent "A Foldable Foam Mop" with patent number 202320956098.2 and authorization publication number CN219920986U applied for by the applicant, so this application will not be elaborated in detail here. Of course, reference can also be made to other existing structural forms of foldable foam mops.

[0033] The mop bucket 3 is equipped with at least one pair of spaced-apart squeezing components, each pair being spaced-apart left and right or front and back. A squeezing channel D is formed between two opposing squeezing components, through which the folded mop head 12 can pass. The squeezing components squeeze and dehydrate the folded foam wipe 2 passing through the squeezing channel D. The squeezing components on either side can move toward or away from the other squeezing component. When the folded mop head 12 moves downward within the squeezing channel D, the two opposing squeezing components move toward each other. When the folded mop head 12 moves upward within the squeezing channel D, the squeezing components move away from the other squeezing component.

[0034] The squeezing component in this embodiment is a squeezing block 5. The inner wall of the mop bucket 3 is provided with a guide rib 31 inclined downward. The back of the squeezing block 5 is provided with a guide groove 51 inclined downward for inserting the guide rib. The squeezing block 5 can move obliquely relative to the inner wall of the mop bucket 3 along the guide rib 31.

[0035] The mop bucket 3 includes a barrel body 3a with an open upper end. A hoop 3b is fixed to the open end. The hoop 3b has a mounting wall 32 extending downwardly into the barrel body 3a. The guide rib 31 is provided on the mounting wall 32.

[0036] A support plate 6 is further provided in the mop bucket 3. Two water squeezing blocks 5 are mounted on the support plate 6 via a dovetail groove structure 61. The water squeezing blocks 5 can move downward along with the support plate 6 and can also slide relative to the support plate 6. A spring 7 is supported between the support plate 6 and the bottom surface of the mop bucket 3.

[0037] When squeezing water, Figure 3 、 5As shown in Figures 10 to 10, the mop is operated to fold the foam wipe 2 along with the mop head 12. The foam wipe 2 is passively folded to squeeze out some water first, and the folded mop head 12 is aligned with the water squeezing channel D. The folded mop head 12 is moved downward in the water squeezing channel D. The water squeezing blocks 5 on both sides squeeze and dehydrate the exposed foam wipe 2. During the downward movement, the mop head 12 drives the support plate 6 to move downward. The water squeezing blocks 5 can move downward together with the support plate 6. Under the cooperation of the guide ribs 31 and the guide grooves 51, the water squeezing blocks 5 slide relative to the support plate 6, that is, the oppositely arranged water squeezing blocks 5 move toward each other and approach each other, further squeezing the foam wipe 2.

[0038] When disengaging, the folded mop head 12 moves upward in the water squeezing channel D. Under the action of friction, the squeezing block 5 is driven to move upward. As the squeezing block 5 moves upward, the guide ribs 31 and the guide grooves 51 cooperate to cause the squeezing block 5 to slide relative to the support plate 6. That is, the squeezing blocks 5 move in opposite directions and away from each other, which is conducive to the mop head 12 being disengaged from the water inlet channel D.

[0039] like Figures 6-8 Shown is a second embodiment of the foam mop.

[0040] The difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is that the squeezing member is a squeezing roller 4, which is fixedly mounted in the mop bucket. The squeezing roller 4 on each side can be a whole section type or a segmented type.

[0041] like Figure 9 、 10 Shown is a third embodiment of the foam mop.

[0042] This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the squeezing component is a squeezing roller 4. A swing arm 8 is rotatably connected to the mop bucket 3. Below the swing arm 8 is a lower stopper 9 to limit its downward swing. The squeezing roller 4 is mounted on the swing arm. Above the swing arm 8 is an upper stopper 10 to limit its downward swing. The squeezing rollers 4 move closer or further apart as the swing arm 8 swings along with the squeezing roller 4.

[0043] It should be noted that in the description of this embodiment, the terms "front, back", "left, right", "inside, outside", "upper, lower" and the like indicating directions or positional relationships are all based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention. The terms "install", "connect", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can be fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or they can be internal connections between two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
