Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a switch valve structure for a floor scrubber. Background Technology

[0002] In the cleaning industry, floor scrubbers, as efficient and labor-saving cleaning equipment, are widely used in cleaning various types of floors. With technological advancements and changing market demands, the design of floor scrubbers is constantly being optimized to improve cleaning efficiency, reduce operational difficulty, and enhance user experience. However, some existing floor scrubber products still have issues affecting ease of operation and work efficiency, particularly regarding water management.

[0003] Some floor scrubbers on the market require an external water pipe to supply water for cleaning. While this design ensures sufficient water for floor cleaning, it creates considerable inconvenience for users. Specifically, to turn the water supply on or off, the operator must physically go to the water tap connected to the scrubber and manually operate it. This not only increases the operator's travel distance and workload, reducing overall efficiency, but also, in large cleaning areas or complex environments, the frequent back-and-forth movement between the tap and the scrubber can lead to wasted time and physical exertion. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a switch valve structure for a floor scrubber.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a floor scrubber switch valve structure, including a handle connector and a connecting pipe fixed on the handle connector. The connecting pipe includes a sleeve, a water inlet connector connected to the upper end of the sleeve, and a water outlet connector connected to the lower end of the sleeve. The water inlet connector and the water outlet connector have water inlet channels and water outlet channels respectively. The water inlet channels and the water outlet channels are connected to the sleeve. A valve core for opening or blocking the water inlet channels and the water outlet channels is installed inside the sleeve. A knob for driving the valve core to rotate and protruding outside the handle connector is connected to the right end of the valve core.

[0006] Furthermore, a first sealing ring and a second sealing ring are installed on the outer wall of the valve core. Both the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring are in contact with the inner wall of the sleeve. The first sealing ring is used to block the water inlet channel, and the second sealing ring is used to block the water outlet channel.

[0007] Furthermore, the valve core has two notches on its side wall for water to flow through.

[0008] Furthermore, a third sealing ring is installed between the outer wall of the right end of the valve core and the inner wall of the sleeve.

[0009] Furthermore, a locking block protrudes from the left end of the valve core, and a slot for the locking block to engage is located on the left side of the knob.

[0010] Furthermore, the left side of the knob has a latch, and the right end of the sleeve has a slot for the latch to engage.

[0011] Furthermore, a movable block protrudes from the left side of the knob, and the right end of the sleeve has an arc-shaped limiting groove, into which the movable block is engaged.

[0012] The advantages of the on / off valve structure for a floor scrubber provided by this utility model are: the water inlet and outlet can be controlled by turning the knob, and the operator no longer needs to frequently go back and forth between the faucet and the floor scrubber. The water source can be turned on and off simply by rotating the knob, which greatly reduces the operator's movement distance and workload and improves work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To provide a more intuitive and complete understanding of the technical solution of this utility model, the following non-limiting features are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0023] like Figure 1 — Figure 8 As shown, a floor scrubber switch valve structure includes a handle connector 1 and a connecting pipe 2 fixed on the handle connector 1. The connecting pipe 2 includes a sleeve 21, a water inlet connector 22 connected to the upper end of the sleeve 21, and a water outlet connector 23 connected to the lower end of the sleeve 21. The water inlet connector 22 and the water outlet connector 23 respectively have a water inlet channel 221 and a water outlet channel 231. Both the water inlet channel 221 and the water outlet channel 231 are connected to the sleeve 21. A valve core 3 for opening or blocking the water inlet channel 221 and the water outlet channel 231 is installed inside the sleeve 21. A knob 4 for driving the valve core 3 to rotate and protruding outside the handle connector 1 is connected to the right end of the valve core 3.

[0024] like Figure 2 , Figure 8 As shown, a first sealing ring 5 and a second sealing ring 6 are installed on the outer wall of the valve core 3. Both the first sealing ring 5 and the second sealing ring 6 are in contact with the inner wall of the sleeve 21. The first sealing ring 5 is used to block the water inlet channel 221, and the second sealing ring 6 is used to block the water outlet channel 231. Two notches 31 for water flow are provided on the side wall of the valve core 3. Figure 8 As shown, at this time, one notch 31 is aligned with the water inlet channel 221, and the other notch 31 is aligned with the water outlet channel 231, allowing water to flow normally. After turning the knob 4 counterclockwise, the first sealing ring 5 can block the water inlet channel 221, and the second sealing ring 6 can block the water outlet channel 231, thus cutting off the water supply.

[0025] A third sealing ring 7 is installed between the outer wall of the right end of the valve core 3 and the inner wall of the sleeve 21 to prevent water leakage.

[0026] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, to facilitate the connection of the knob 4 to the valve core 3, a locking block 32 protrudes from the left end of the valve core 3, and the left side of the knob 4 has a slot 41 for the locking block 32 to be engaged. There are two locking blocks 32 and two slots 41. Therefore, rotating the knob 4 can drive the valve core 3 to rotate.

[0027] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 As shown, in order to prevent the knob 4 from falling off, the knob 4 has a buckle 42 on the left side, and the right end of the sleeve 21 has a buckle groove 211 for the buckle 42 to be engaged. There are two buckles 42, which are engaged in the buckle groove 211 and rotate with the buckle groove 211.

[0028] like Figure 3 , Figure 7As shown, in order to limit the rotation angle of the knob 4, a movable block 43 is protruding on the left side of the knob 4, and the right end of the sleeve 21 has an arc-shaped limiting groove 212, into which the movable block 43 is inserted.

[0029] The present invention provides a switch valve structure for a floor scrubber. By rotating the knob 4, the water inlet and outlet can be controlled. The operator no longer needs to frequently travel between the faucet and the floor scrubber. Simply rotating the knob 4 can turn the water source on and off, which greatly reduces the operator's travel distance and workload and improves work efficiency.

[0030] Of course, the above are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications and equivalent structural changes made based on the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings should also be included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
