Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning tools, and in particular to a mop bucket that separates cleaning and soiling. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese patent application No. 202410388897.3 discloses a double-layer mop bucket for a flat mop, including an outer bucket with a clean water zone and a wastewater zone, an inner bucket located in the wastewater zone and into which the flat mop can be inserted, a cover assembly detachably mounted on the outer bucket, and a water supply assembly mounted on the cover assembly and inserted into the clean water zone. The inner bucket includes a washing zone and a squeegee zone that are interconnected. The water supply assembly includes a double-tube fitting inserted into the clean water zone, two one-way valves mounted on the double-tube fitting, a piston slidably located in the double-tube fitting, and a pull rod that drives the piston to reciprocate. A gear set partially exposed in the washing port is provided on the base frame of the cover assembly. One end of the pull rod rotates eccentrically on the gear set, and the other end is rotatably connected to the piston.

[0003] The aforementioned gear set includes a driving gear, a driven gear, an intermediate gear, and an eccentric gear that mesh with each other in sequence. An eccentric shaft is protruding from the eccentric gear. The end of the pull rod away from the piston is rotatably mounted on the eccentric shaft. Among the aforementioned gears, the driving gear rotates as the flat mop rises and falls, thereby driving the driven gear, the intermediate gear, and the eccentric gear to rotate in one go, causing the piston to reciprocate under the drive of the pull rod.

[0004] The existing drive gear is partially exposed at the cleaning port and the rest is located above the clean water area. The part of the drive gear above the clean water area has no obstruction on its rotating surface. When the flat mop rubs against the drive gear, the rotation of the drive gear will squeeze the sewage on the flat mop. Some of the squeezed sewage will enter the clean water area from its rotating surface as the drive gear rotates, contaminating the clean water in the clean water area. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the drawback of existing technologies where the drive gear, when rotating under the drive of a flat mop, carries wastewater into the clean water area. It provides a mop bucket that separates clean and dirty water, significantly reducing the probability of the drive gear carrying wastewater into the clean water area.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solution through the following technical method:

[0007] A mop bucket with separate cleaning and wastewater compartments includes an outer bucket with a clean water area and a wastewater area, an inner bucket located in the wastewater area and capable of holding a flat mop, and a water supply assembly inserted into the clean water area and capable of supplying water to the cleaning area of ​​the inner bucket. The water supply assembly includes a rotating drive component that is rotatably arranged and simultaneously distributed in the cleaning area and the clean water area. The rotation of the rotating drive component is controlled by the raising and lowering of the flat mop. A water outlet component is inserted in the clean water area to supply water to the cleaning area as the rotating drive component rotates. A water-blocking component is provided on the outside of the rotating drive component to prevent wastewater carried by the rotation of the rotating drive component from entering the clean water area.

[0008] By adopting the above solution, a water-blocking component is added. This component can block the wastewater squeezed out of the flat mop by the rotating drive component. The blocked wastewater can flow back, which significantly reduces the probability of wastewater entering the clean water area and improves the performance of cleaning and dirt separation in the mop bucket.

[0009] Preferably, the water-blocking assembly includes a baffle covering the lower end of the rotary drive and the side away from the cleaning zone, and baffle walls fixed on both sides of the baffle to block the sides of the rotary drive. The baffle and baffle walls form a backflow blocking channel to prevent sewage from entering the clean water zone.

[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the vertical edge of the stop is higher than the highest intersection point of the tangent of the rotating surface of the rotating drive and the stop.

[0011] Using the above solution, the blocking component can block the sewage thrown out by the rotating drive component and collect it at the bottom of the blocking return channel.

[0012] Preferably, a sewage pipe or sewage trough with its tail end located in the sewage area is connected to the horizontal side of the retaining edge.

[0013] With the above solution, the end of the sewage pipe or sewage tank is located in the sewage area, which prevents sewage in the backflow channel from being directly discharged from the sewage pipe or sewage tank into the sewage area.

[0014] Preferably, the end of the drain pipe or drain trough furthest from the sewage area is located at the end that blocks the backflow channel and is closer to the cleaning area.

[0015] By adopting the above scheme, the design can ensure that the sewage is collected and discharged into the sewage pipe or sewage tank with a certain impact force.

[0016] Preferably, a cover assembly is detachably installed on the outer tub, and a base frame that connects to the inner tub is detachably installed at the lower end of the cover assembly. A through groove is provided on the side of the base frame near the cleaning area. A rotary drive component is rotatably installed on the base frame and protrudes partially into the cleaning area after passing through the through groove from the clean water area.

[0017] Preferably, the water-blocking component is detachably connected to the base frame.

[0018] Using the above solution, the water-blocking component can be detached and installed, which facilitates the installation of the water outlet component.

[0019] Preferably, the rotary drive includes a drive gear or a drive friction wheel with a damped rotating surface.

[0020] Using the above scheme, the teeth of the drive gear have their own friction damping, and the structure with damping characteristics on its rotation surface can also achieve the function of being driven by the lifting and lowering of the flat mop. The pull rod rotates eccentrically on the side wall of the rotating drive component, and the water outlet component can reciprocate to discharge water as the rotating drive component rotates.

[0021] Preferably, the water outlet assembly includes a base with a water inlet, a piston cylinder and a water outlet cylinder located on the base and connected to each other through the base. The upper end of the water outlet cylinder is connected to the cover assembly, and the water sprayed from the water outlet cylinder can enter the cleaning area from the cover assembly. A piston rod is sealed and movable inside the piston cylinder. A pull rod is rotatably connected to the upper end of the piston rod. The other end of the pull rod rotates eccentrically on the side wall of the rotary drive component. The water inlet is provided with a first one-way valve that allows unidirectional flow from the outside to the inside of the base. A second one-way valve that allows unidirectional flow from the base to the water outlet cylinder is provided between the water outlet cylinder and the base.

[0022] Using the above scheme, the rotation of the rotary drive component drives the pull rod to move, and the movement of the pull rod drives the piston rod to reciprocate inside the piston cylinder. When the piston rod rises, external water enters the base and the rodless chamber of the piston cylinder; when the piston rod falls, the piston rod squeezes the water in the piston cylinder and the base and squeezes the water out of the outlet cylinder.

[0023] This utility model, by adopting the above technical solution, has significant technical effects:

[0024] 1. A water-blocking component is added. This component can block the wastewater squeezed out of the flat mop by the rotating drive, significantly reducing the probability of wastewater entering the clean water area and improving the performance of the mop bucket in separating clean water and wastewater.

[0025] 2. Add a sewage pipe or sewage trough that connects to the water-blocking components and the sewage area. Sewage blocked by the water-blocking components can directly enter the sewage area through the sewage pipe or sewage trough, avoiding the accumulation of sewage in the blocking components.

[0034] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0035] A type of mop bucket that separates cleaning and stain removal, as described in the following article. Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the device includes an outer tub 3 with a clean water zone 301 and a wastewater zone 302, an inner tub 12 located in the wastewater zone 302 and capable of holding a flat mop, and a cover assembly 1 that snaps onto the outer tub 3. The inner tub 12 includes a washing zone 121 and a squeegee zone 122 that are interconnected. The washing zone 121 is located between the squeegee zone 122 and the clean water zone 301. The lower end of the cover assembly 1 is snapped onto a base frame 2 with a cross-section consistent with the cross-section of the inner tub 12 and a bottom that overlaps with the upper end of the inner tub 12. The cover assembly 1 is provided with a washing port 101 that connects to the washing zone 121, a squeegee port 102 that connects to the squeegee zone 122, and a water inlet 103 corresponding to the clean water zone 301. A water supply assembly that can be inserted into the clean water zone 301 is provided on the base frame 2.

[0036] A circumferentially formed, upward-opening guide ring groove 203 is formed on the upper end of the base frame 2, as shown in the reference. Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, the guide ring groove 203 is provided with a cleaning component 205 and a squeegee component 206 on both sides of the cleaning area 121 and the squeegee area 122, respectively. The inner wall of the base frame 2 is also provided with a friction protrusion 201 below the cleaning component 205, which can rub against the flat mop. The guide ring groove 203 is provided with a guide port 204 that guides all the sewage into the sewage area 302. The guide port 204 is located at the low position of the guide ring groove 203. The guide ring groove 203 has an inclination to guide the sewage to the low position.

[0037] A through groove 202 is provided on the base frame 2 below the friction protrusion 201, which passes through both the cleaning zone 121 and the clean water zone 301. An assembly protrusion 207 with its side wall flush with the inner wall of the through groove 202 is provided on the outer wall of the base frame 2 near the clean water zone 301. The water supply assembly includes a drive gear 4 rotatably mounted on the side wall of the assembly protrusion 207, a water outlet assembly inserted into the bottom of the clean water zone 301, and a pull rod 11 that drives the water outlet assembly to discharge water as the drive gear 4 rotates. After passing through the through groove 202 from the clean water zone 301, the drive gear 4 is partially protruding in the cleaning zone 121 and rotates with the friction force of the flat mop rising and falling in the cleaning zone 121.

[0038] Combination Figures 3-5 As shown, the water outlet assembly includes a base 9 with a water inlet, a piston cylinder 8 and a water outlet cylinder 7 located on the base 9 and interconnected through the base 9. The upper end of the water outlet cylinder 7 is connected to the cover assembly 1, and the water sprayed from the water outlet cylinder 7 can enter the cleaning area 121 from the cover assembly 1. A piston rod 10 is sealed and movable inside the piston cylinder 8. One end of the pull rod 11 rotates eccentrically on the side wall of the drive gear 4, and the other end of the pull rod 11 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the piston rod 10. The water inlet is provided with a first one-way valve 15 that allows unidirectional flow from the outside to the inside of the base 9. A second one-way valve 16 that allows unidirectional flow from the base 9 to the water outlet cylinder 7 is provided between the water outlet cylinder 7 and the base 9.

[0039] A water-blocking component 5 is provided on the side of the base frame 2 near the cleaning area 121, which is connected to the through groove 202 and is used to block the sewage carried by the rotation of the drive gear 4. The water-blocking component 5 includes a baffle 501 covering the lower end of the drive gear 4 and the side away from the cleaning area, and baffle walls 502 fixed on both sides of the baffle 501 to block the sides of the drive gear 4. The upper end of the vertical side of the baffle 501 is higher than the highest intersection point of the tangent of the rotation surface of the drive gear 4 and the baffle 501. The baffle 501 and the baffle walls 502 form a backflow blocking channel to block sewage from entering the clean water area 301. A drain trough 6 is integrally extended from the horizontal side of the baffle 501 near the base frame 2, with its tail end located in the sewage area 302, and is used to discharge the sewage in the backflow blocking channel to the sewage area 302.

[0040] The water-blocking component 5 is detachably connected to the base frame 2. On the side of the water-blocking component 5 near the base frame 2, there are protruding locking blocks 14 at intervals. The base frame 2 is provided with locking grooves into which the locking blocks 14 can be inserted.

[0041] An installation block is fixed on the water outlet cylinder 7. The drive gear 4 is rotated on a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft passes through the mounting protrusion 207 and is fixedly connected to the installation block by screws. In order to further increase the stability of the water outlet assembly and the base frame 2, a connecting block with a slot 14 is fixed between the water outlet cylinder 7 and the baffle 502. The end of the mounting protrusion 207 away from the base frame 2 can be partially inserted into the slot 14.

[0042] Reference Figure 7 As shown, an anti-accidental contact structure is provided inside the inner tub 12 to prevent the flat mop from touching the bottom sewage. The anti-accidental contact structure includes a dirt-holding groove 123 recessed in the middle of the bottom of the inner tub 12, a main sewage outlet 17 provided on the outer tub 3, a secondary sewage pipe 18 protruding from the inner tub 12 that communicates with the dirt-holding groove 123 and extends to the main sewage outlet 17, and a sewage cover 19 provided on the outer tub 3 that is threadedly sealed to both the main sewage outlet 17 and the secondary sewage pipe 18.

[0043] The cleaning process of the flat mop is as follows: Insert the flat mop head into the cleaning area 121 and move it vertically back and forth. The vertical back and forth movement of the flat mop head not only allows for repeated friction with the cleaning component 205 for cleaning, but also drives the drive gear 4 to rotate in both directions. Each rotation of the drive gear 4 in both directions causes the piston rod 10 to move back and forth once, resulting in one spray of water from the water outlet 7. When the flat mop head continuously moves up and down, continuous spraying of water from the water outlet 7 is achieved. Clean water is then sprayed out from the water outlet 7. The water is evenly discharged from the outlet channel above the cleaning component 205 of the cover assembly 1, repeatedly wetting the flat mop head. Most of the wastewater that is drained after the flat mop head rubs against the cleaning component 205 enters the guide ring groove 203, some is thrown into the backflow blocking channel by the drive gear 4 and discharged from the drain trough 6 into the wastewater area 302. A very small amount will fall and accumulate in the sludge tank 123, and be discharged from the mop bucket along with the wastewater in the wastewater area 302 when the drain cover 19 is opened.

All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
