Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of daily cleaning, in particular to a flat mop. Background Art

[0002] Flat mops are a common floor cleaning tool. Mop heads typically use Velcro or integrated hooks to secure the mop. However, due to production process limitations, integrated hooks are thicker than Velcro, making them less secure to the mop than Velcro. Velcro, on the other hand, is typically attached to the mop head using glue, but the amount and placement of glue are difficult to control. With insufficient glue, the edges of the Velcro are not bonded to the mop head, making it easy for the mop to be squeezed and torn off the mop head during cleaning and squeezing. Excessive glue can easily overflow the Velcro, requiring cleaning and potentially catching other stains or accessories, impacting production. Therefore, improvements are needed to improve the connection between the mop head and Velcro to ensure a more secure connection. Utility Model Content

[0003] One purpose of the utility model is to provide a flat mop that solves the above problems.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the utility model, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A flat mop comprises a mop rod and a mop head, wherein the upper end of the mop head is connected to the mop rod, and a wiping object is installed at the lower end. A plug plate is provided at the first end of the mop head in the longitudinal direction, and an insertion pocket is provided on the wiping object and is plugged and fixed to the plug plate. A mounting area for fixing a Velcro is provided in the middle of the mop head, and the Velcro is fixed to the wiping object. A fixing hole is provided at the second end of the mop head away from the plug plate, and the Velcro is made of a flexible material, and the end of the Velcro is inserted into the fixing hole. By inserting the end of the Velcro into the fixing hole and hiding it, even if the edge of the Velcro is not coated with glue, the pulling force of the wiping object will not tear the Velcro off the mop head; when installing the Velcro, there is no need to pay too much attention to whether the glue is applied as a whole when applying glue, that is, the end of the Velcro is inserted into the fixing hole when there is no glue, and the friction between the Velcro and the wall of the fixing hole and other resistances prevent the Velcro from detaching from the fixing hole; if the glue is applied evenly, the Velcro entering the fixing hole can be further fixed and limited by the glue and the inner wall of the fixing hole, so as to improve the installation firmness of the Velcro.

[0006] Preferably, the mop head is provided with a fixing cavity, the fixing cavity being in communication with the fixing hole, the Velcro comprising a bent portion that bends at the location of the fixing hole, and the portion of the Velcro that passes through the fixing hole and enters the fixing cavity extends toward the first end of the mop head to form a hook portion, the hook portion cooperating with the fixing cavity or the mop head to prevent the hook portion from leaving the fixing cavity. If only the end portion of the Velcro is randomly inserted into the fixing hole, if this portion of the Velcro extends toward the second end of the mop head and the pulling force of the wiping material is excessive, this portion of the Velcro will still move outward from the fixing hole, causing the Velcro to be torn and separated from the mop head. However, when the fixing cavity is provided in the mop head, when the Velcro is passed through the fixing hole and the portion of the Velcro that enters the fixing cavity forms a bent portion and a hook portion, the extension direction of the hook portion is substantially the same as the pulling force of the wiping material. Regardless of whether glue or other fixing structures are applied between the hook portion and the fixing cavity, the hook and bent portion can be further prevented from leaving the fixing hole, thereby increasing the installation security of the Velcro.

[0007] Preferably, the mop further comprises a squeezing device, which is disposed on the mop bucket or mop rod. The mop head passes through the squeezing device to clean and squeeze the wipe. When the second end of the mop head enters the squeezing device, the end of the wipe is squeezed, causing it to move away from the mop head. The engagement of the Velcro with the fixing hole prevents the edge of the Velcro from being pulled away from the mop head by the force of the wipe. As the mop head and wipe enter the squeezing device for cleaning and squeezing, the wipe is subjected to a tearing force opposite to the direction of movement, causing the wipe to move away from the mop head, or even to break away from the mop head. The Velcro insertion into the fixing hole reduces the influence of the wipe's movement due to the resistance with the fixing hole wall, even if the Velcro is unevenly coated, thereby improving the installation security of the Velcro.

[0008] Preferably, the Velcro is fixed in the installation area by gluing.

[0009] Preferably, the mop head comprises a main body, a first plug, a second plug, and a connecting seat. The main body is made of metal and is hollow. A connecting strip is provided within the main body, connecting the upper and lower walls. The first plug is provided with a plug plate and is mounted to the first end of the main body. The second plug is mounted to the second end of the main body. The connecting seat is mounted to the top of the main body. The bottom of the main body is provided with a first concave cavity, and the bottom of the second plug is provided with a second concave cavity. The first and second concave cavities are connected to form a single body to form the mounting area. The fixing hole is provided in the second plug or the second concave cavity. When the mop head is made of plastic, an adhesive hook can be integrally formed. However, when the mop head main body is made of metal, an adhesive hook cannot be directly formed and the mop can only be connected to the mop by installing Velcro. The joint installation area between the main body and the second plug can extend the length of the Velcro, allowing the end of the mop to be fixed by the Velcro, thereby reducing the effect of the squeezing device on the mop.

[0010] Preferably, a mounting opening is provided at the end of the main body, a first mounting hole is provided on the mounting opening, the first plug and the second plug are inserted into the mounting opening and are provided with a long hole adapted to the first mounting hole, and the connecting seat is provided with a second mounting hole. During installation, the first mounting hole, the second mounting hole and the long hole are stacked up and down, and the connecting rod passes through the first mounting hole, the second mounting hole and the long hole to fix the main body, the first plug, the second plug and the connecting seat.

[0011] Preferably, a slide groove is provided on the top of the main body, the connecting seat is positioned and installed in the slide groove, and the first plug and the second plug extend upward and abut against the outer side of the connecting seat.

[0012] Preferably, the elongated hole is inserted into the connecting seat and aligned with the second mounting hole, and the first plug and the second plug are fixedly connected to the connecting seat by snaps.

[0013] Preferably, the mop head further comprises a support member, which is fixedly mounted between the main body and the connecting seat, and a hinge hole is formed between the support member and the connecting seat, and a hinge member is movably mounted on the hinge hole, and the hinge member is hinged to the lower end of the mop rod.

[0014] Preferably, a positioning mechanism for positioning the mop rod and the mop head in a parallel state is provided between the hinge and the mop rod, the positioning mechanism comprising a positioning groove, a positioning rod and an elastic member, the positioning groove being provided on the hinge, the positioning rod and the elastic member being mounted on the mop rod, and when the mop rod rotates relative to the hinge, the positioning rod moves along the surface of the hinge until the positioning rod is inserted into the positioning groove.

[0015] The advantages of the present invention are that: by inserting the end of the Velcro into the fixing hole and hiding it, even if the edge of the Velcro is not coated with glue, the pulling force of the wiping object will not tear the Velcro off the mop head; when installing the Velcro, such as applying glue, there is no need to pay too much attention to whether the glue is applied as a whole, that is, when the end of the Velcro is inserted into the fixing hole without glue, the Velcro is prevented from detaching from the fixing hole by the friction between the Velcro and the fixing hole wall. If the glue is applied evenly, the Velcro entered into the fixing hole can be further fixed and limited by the glue and the inner wall of the fixing hole, so as to improve the installation firmness of the Velcro; through the alignment of the first mounting hole, the second mounting hole and the elongated hole, the plug and the connecting seat are installed on the main body by using the connecting rod, and the setting of the elongated hole facilitates the alignment with the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, avoiding the situation where the three holes are difficult to align due to the processing error of the plug and the main body; the main body is made of metal, which increases the rigidity of the mop head and avoids the deformation of the mop head during use or when the length is long.

[0026] like Figure 1-8 A flat mop comprises a mop rod 1 and a mop head 2. The upper end of the mop head 2 is connected to the mop rod 1, and a wiping object is installed at the lower end. A plug-in plate 3 is provided at the first end of the mop head 2 in the longitudinal direction. An insertion pocket is provided on the wiping object and is plugged and fixed with the plug-in plate 3. An installation area for fixing a Velcro 4 is provided in the middle of the mop head 2. The Velcro 4 is fixed with the wiping object. A fixing hole 5 is provided at the second end of the mop head 2 away from the plug-in plate 3. The Velcro 4 is made of flexible material, and the end of the Velcro 4 is inserted into the fixing hole 5.

[0027] In this embodiment, the flat mop is used in conjunction with a squeezing device, by which the wiping material is cleaned and water is squeezed out. The squeezing device is provided on the mop bucket or the mop rod 1, and the mop head 2 passes through the squeezing device to clean and squeeze out water from the wiping material. The squeezing device is a device commonly used in the prior art. The structure of the squeezing device is not described in detail in this embodiment, and the corresponding figure is not shown in the accompanying drawings. When the second end of the mop head 2 enters the squeezing device, the end of the wiping material is squeezed to form a tendency to move away from the mop head 2. The cooperation between the Velcro 4 and the fixing hole 5 prevents the edge of the Velcro 4 from being separated from the mop head 2 by the pulling force of the wiping material. That is, when the mop head 2 moves along its length, the squeezing device applies a squeezing force substantially perpendicular to the plane on which the wiping material is located to the wiping material. Under the action of this squeezing force, the wiping material has a tendency to move in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the mop head 2. If the squeezing force is too large, the connection between the wiping material and the Velcro 4 is unstable, or the connection between the Velcro 4 and the mop head 2 is unstable, the wiping material or the Velcro 4 is easily separated from the mop head 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, the mop head 2 is made of metal to improve the use strength of the mop head 2, and the Velcro 4 is fixed in the installation area by gluing.

[0029] Specifically, the mop head 2 includes a main body 6, a first plug 7, a second plug 8 and a connecting seat 9. The main body 6 is made of metal and is hollow as a whole. A connecting strip 10 connecting the upper and lower walls is provided in the main body 6. The first plug 7 is provided with a plug plate 3 and is installed at the first end of the main body 6. The second plug 8 is installed at the second end of the main body 6. The connecting seat 9 is installed at the top of the main body 6. The bottom of the main body 6 is provided with a first concave cavity 11. The bottom of the second plug 8 is provided with a second concave cavity 12. The first concave cavity 11 and the second concave cavity 12 are connected as a whole to form an installation area. A fixing hole 5 is provided on the second plug 8 or the second concave cavity 12. When installing, the Velcro 4 or the installation area is fixed. Apply glue and align the Velcro 4 with the installation area to stick it. Regardless of whether the Velcro 4 near the second plug 8 is coated with glue, the Velcro 4 at that position should be inserted into the fixing hole 5. Compared with directly sticking the Velcro 4, if the glue is not applied as a whole, the squeezing between the squeezing device and the wiping object will easily cause the Velcro 4 to warp or even tear. Inserting the end of the Velcro 4 into the fixing hole 5 can reduce the warping of the Velcro 4, and can prevent the Velcro 4 from being torn off along the length direction of the mop head 2 through the friction and other resistance between the Velcro 4 and the wall of the fixing hole 5, or the fixation of the glue to the wall of the fixing hole 5, thereby improving the installation firmness of the Velcro 4.

[0030] The principle of improving the installation firmness of the Velcro 4 in this embodiment is that, with reference to the disassembly method of the wipe, it is generally easier to tear off the wipe by pulling the edges and corners of the wipe outward, while it is difficult to tear off the wipe by directly pulling the middle position of the wipe. The end of the Velcro 4 is hidden or fixed in the fixing hole 5, so that the position where the Velcro 4 is easier to tear off is no longer exposed to the outside. The end of the Velcro 4 exposed to the outside is the middle part of the Velcro 4 as a whole, and it is difficult to tear off the Velcro 4 along the moving direction of the mop head 2 and the wipe. In normal use, the glue connection firmness between the Velcro 4 and the mop head 2 is better than the connection firmness between the Velcro 4 and the wipe, that is, pulling the wipe will only tear the wipe off the Velcro 4.

[0031] In order to further improve the installation firmness of the Velcro 4, the mop head 2 is provided with a fixing cavity 23 which is communicated with the fixing hole 5, the Velcro 4 comprises a bending part 24 which is bent at the position of the fixing hole 5, the part of the Velcro 4 which is inserted into the fixing cavity 23 through the fixing hole 5 extends to the direction of the first end of the mop head 2 to form a hook part 25, the hook part 25 cooperates with the fixing cavity 23 or the mop head 2 to prevent the hook part 25 from leaving the fixing cavity 23. Only the end part of the Velcro 4 is inserted into the fixing hole 5, if the part of the Velcro 4 extends to the second end of the mop head 2 and the pulling force of the wiping material is too large, the part of the Velcro 4 will leave the fixing hole 5 to make the Velcro 4 and the mop head 2 be torn apart, and when the fixing cavity 23 is arranged in the mop head 2, the part of the Velcro 4 which is inserted into the fixing cavity 23 through the fixing hole 5 forms the bending part 24 and the hook part 25, the extending direction of the hook part 25 is basically the same as the pulling direction of the wiping material, no matter whether the hook part 25 and the fixing cavity 23 are smeared with glue or other fixing structures are arranged between the hook part 25 and the fixing cavity 23, the hook part 25 and the bending part 24 can be further prevented from leaving the fixing hole 5 to increase the installation firmness of the Velcro 4.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the end part of the main body 6 is provided with the mounting hole 13, the mounting hole 13 is provided with the first mounting hole 14, the first plug 7 and the second plug 8 are inserted into the mounting hole 13 and are provided with the long hole 15 which is matched with the first mounting hole 14, the connecting seat 9 is provided with the second mounting hole 16, during the installation, the first mounting hole 14, the second mounting hole 16 and the long hole 15 are arranged in layers from top to bottom, and the connecting rod passes through the first mounting hole 14, the second mounting hole 16 and the long hole 15 to fixedly connect the main body 6, the first plug 7, the second plug 8 and the connecting seat 9.

[0033] In the embodiment, the connecting rod is a screw rod or a rivet.

[0034] The top middle line position of the main body 6 is provided with the sliding groove 17, the lower end of the connecting seat 9 is inserted into the sliding groove 17 to positionally install the connecting seat 9 on the main body 6, the length of the connecting seat 9 is matched with or slightly larger than the length of the main body 6, when the first plug 7 and the second plug 8 are installed on the main body 6, the first plug 7 and the second plug 8 extend upwards to protrude from the main body 6 and abut against the outer side of the connecting seat 9, at the same time, the long hole 15 is inserted into the connecting seat 9 and is aligned with the second mounting hole 16, and the first plug 7 and the second plug 8 are fixedly connected with the connecting seat 9 through buckling.

[0035] Preferably, the mop head 2 further comprises the supporting piece 18 which is fixedly installed between the main body 6 and the connecting seat 9, and the supporting piece 18 and the connecting seat 9 surround to form the hinged hole 19, the hinged piece 20 is movably installed on the hinged hole 19, and the hinged piece 20 is hinged with the lower end of the mop rod 1.

[0036] The hinge 20 and the mop rod 1 are provided with a positioning mechanism for positioning the mop rod 1 and the mop head 2 in a parallel state, the positioning mechanism comprising a positioning groove 21 arranged on the hinge 20, a positioning rod 22 and an elastic member, the positioning rod 22 and the elastic member being mounted on the mop rod 1, the positioning rod 22 moving along the surface of the hinge 20 when the mop rod 1 rotates relative to the hinge 20 until the positioning rod 22 is inserted into the positioning groove 21.
