Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a floor cleaning device, and more particularly to a hand-held floor scrubber. Background Technology

[0002] A floor scrubber is a cleaning tool suitable for hard floors that uses brushes to scrub the floor while simultaneously removing wastewater from the site. Existing walk-behind floor scrubbers have complex structures; a short handle makes operation inconvenient, while a long handle makes it difficult to clean corners or areas under tables and chairs. To address this, universal joints are installed at the connection between the handle and the body to allow for handle adjustment and facilitate cleaning. However, the universal joint on existing floor scrubbers is located at the connection between the handle and the body, and its low position results in a large operating radius when the handle swings up and down or left and right, which is very inconvenient when used in confined spaces. Furthermore, when not in use and idle, the handle and body cannot be properly stored, taking up considerable space and making placement difficult. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art. By improving the handle, the operating radius is smaller when the handle swings up and down or left and right, making it very convenient to use in narrow spaces. At the same time, part of the handle can be attached to the body, so that it occupies less space when not in use and can protect the bristles and water scraper from deformation.

[0004] This utility model discloses a floor scrubbing machine, comprising a machine body and an operating handle connected to the machine body. The operating handle includes a handle rod and an operating handle panel. The machine body includes a disc-shaped brush device for scrubbing the floor, a clean water tank and clean water pipeline for supplying clean water to the brush device, a squeegee for collecting wastewater and a wastewater pipeline for sucking wastewater into the wastewater tank, a first motor for powering the brush device, a vacuum pump for absorbing wastewater, and a battery for powering the first motor and the vacuum pump. The vacuum pump is connected to the wastewater pipeline. The machine body also includes support wheels for movement. The clean water tank is located at the bottom near the brush device. The wastewater tank is located above the clean water tank. The handle is characterized by comprising a first handle and a second handle. The first handle has a bent portion. A mounting groove is provided in the machine body, and a machine body fixing seat is provided in the mounting groove. The bottom end of the first handle is movably connected to the machine body fixing seat via a first adapter unit that swings up and down. The upper end of the first handle is connected to the second handle via a second adapter unit that swings left and right. The adapter unit includes a connecting seat fixed to the machine body and a gear body fixed to the end of the first handle. The gear body is rotatably connected to the connecting seat via a rotating shaft. The bent portion of the first handle and the second handle can conform to the outer surface of the wastewater tank.

[0005] The aforementioned floor scrubbing machine also has a locking device on the outer surface of the wastewater tank for fixing the second handle.

[0006] In the aforementioned floor scrubber, the support wheel is located at the lower left and extends outwards, and a rubber pad is also provided on the left side of the machine body. The rubber pad and the support wheel constitute the support foot of the floor scrubber when it is idle.

[0007] In the aforementioned floor scrubbing machine, the bottom edge of the squeegee is close to the ground, and the squeegee, the bottom surface of the machine body, and the ground form a sealed space, with the wastewater pipe connected to this sealed space.

[0008] This invention divides the handle into two parts, with the first handle having a bent section that fits snugly against the machine body. In the non-working state, it occupies a small area and protects the bristles and squeegee from deformation. Support casters and rubber pads on the machine body allow it to be folded up and placed upright, ensuring the bristles and squeegee are not subjected to pressure when not in use, thus preventing deformation and extending their service life.

Function buttons are provided on the operating handle screen 21. The body 1 includes a disc-shaped brush device 11 for brushing the floor, a clean water tank 13 for providing clean water to the brush device 11, and a clean water pipe 12. The clean water tank 13 is located near the bottom of the brush device 11. It also includes a first motor (not shown) that provides power to the brush device 11 and a battery (not shown) that provides power. This device allows the clean water tank 13 to provide cleaning water to the brush device 11 when the first motor provides power for brushing. The machine body 1 is also equipped with a water scraper 14 for collecting sewage and a sewage pipe 15 for sucking sewage into a sewage tank 16. A vacuum pump (not shown in the figure) is provided for sucking up sewage. A battery that powers the first motor also powers the vacuum pump. The vacuum pump is connected to the sewage pipe 15. The sewage tank 16 is located above the clean water tank 13. This device can suck up residual sewage after bottom cleaning into the sewage tank 16 for subsequent cleaning. The machine body 1 also includes support wheels 17 for movement. These support wheels 17 are located on the lower left side of the machine body 1 and extend outwards. These support wheels 17 support the machine body 1. The machine body 1 also has a rubber pad 18 located on the left side of the machine body. Figure 2 As shown; the rubber pad 18 and the support wheel 17 constitute the support feet of the floor scrubber when it is idle. The support wheel 17 and rubber pad 18 on the machine body allow the machine to be folded up and placed upright, so that the brushes and squeegee are not compressed when not in use, thus preventing deformation of the brushes and squeegee and extending their service life. Figure 5As shown. The machine body 1 is also provided with a mounting groove 19, in which a machine body fixing seat 3 is fixed to the machine body 1.

A shift fork 54 is also provided to cooperate with the push rod 52. The shift fork 54 is movably connected to a handle. The handle can be used to move the shift fork 54 to make the push rod 52 move and mesh with the gear body 6. The adapter unit 3 can realize up and down swing. For the first adapter unit 41, the connecting seat is fixed to the body 1, and the gear body 6 is fixed to the first handle 221; for the second adapter unit 42, the connecting seat is fixed to the first handle 221, and the gear body 6 is fixed to the second handle 222; the bent portion 2211 of the first handle 221 and the second handle 222 can fit against the outer surface of the sewage tank, occupying a small area when in a retracted state during non-working conditions, such as... Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown.

[0016] Furthermore, a locking device (not shown in the figure) for fixing the second handle 222 is provided on the outer surface of the sewage tank 16. This locking device can adopt a conventional method, such as a snap-fit ​​structure, so that the second handle 222 can fit more closely to the outer surface of the sewage tank. The bottom edge 141 of the water scraper 14 is close to the ground, and the water scraper 14, the bottom surface 1D of the machine body, and the ground 0D form a sealed space.
