Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning tools, and in particular to a self-cleaning multi-functional mop bucket. Background Technology

[0002] Cleaning is an essential part of daily life, and making cleaning more effective and faster is the current development direction of cleaning tools. Flat mops consist of a hinged mop handle and a flat mop head. The cleaning agent is fixed to the head by a clip, adhesive, or snap-on method. When in use, the cleaning agent adheres completely to the floor, making cleaning very convenient. Furthermore, the cleaning agent is easy to remove or place in a bucket for washing, making them popular. However, the ease of use and cleaning of flat mops have always been manufacturing challenges.

[0003] Most flat mops on the market are cleaned and wrung out using a clean water section. After washing, a wringing mechanism is installed on the mop handle. The relative squeezing and movement between the wringing mechanism and the flat mop head removes water and cleans the mop. Alternatively, some methods use a squeegee directly inside the bucket to remove dirt from the mop head while wringing out water, improving cleaning effectiveness. However, in practice, it has been found that these methods require washing and then wringing, leading to frequent and repetitive washing and wringing processes, which is time-consuming and laborious. Furthermore, there is no separation between the clean water and dirty water sections; after the first wash, the clean water becomes dirty water. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A self-cleaning multi-functional mop bucket includes a bucket body, the bucket body having independent clean water tank and wastewater tank, and one of the clean water tank and the wastewater tank having a water supply mechanism;

[0006] The water supply mechanism includes an inlet channel, an outlet channel, and a water supply structure connected to the inlet channel and the outlet channel. The water supply structure includes a water storage pipe and an outlet drive assembly. The outlet drive assembly is installed on the water storage pipe. When the mop moves up and down, the driving force generated by contact with the outlet drive assembly can draw clean water in the inlet channel to the water storage pipe and then discharge it through the outlet channel.

[0007] Furthermore, the contact is friction, which is the driving force generated by the friction between the mop cloth and the water discharge drive component when the mop moves up and down.

[0008] Furthermore, the water outlet drive assembly includes a piston and a drive component. The piston is connected to the drive component via a connector. The piston is located inside the water storage pipe, and the mop can drive the drive component to rotate on the water storage pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the piston can also be a vane pump or a gear pump.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting member includes a connecting rod and a crank. The crank is connected to the driving member. One end of the connecting rod is hinged to the piston, and the other end is rotatably connected to the crank. When the driving member rotates, the crank drives the connecting rod to move up / down.

[0011] Furthermore, the water supply structure also includes an inlet pipe connected to the inlet channel and an outlet pipe connected to the outlet channel, wherein the inlet pipe, the storage pipe and the outlet pipe are interconnected.

[0012] Furthermore, the inlet pipe is provided with a first blocking member at one end near the outlet pipe, and the outlet pipe is provided with a second blocking member at one end near the inlet pipe. When the driving member drives the piston to move upward, the second blocking member is pressed downward and restricted, while the first blocking member is opened by upward force, and clean water is drawn in. When the driving member drives the piston to move downward, the first blocking member is pressed downward and restricted, while the second blocking member is opened by upward force, and clean water is sprayed out from the outlet pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, the wastewater tank is equipped with a dirt-separating zone, within which the mop moves up and down.

[0014] Furthermore, the wastewater tank is equipped with a cleaning mechanism located at the outlet of the water outlet channel.

[0015] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning component and a plurality of water spray nozzles, the water spray nozzles being connected to the water outlet.

[0016] Furthermore, a bucket lid is installed at the upper end of the bucket body, the bucket lid is fixedly connected to a support member, a swivel member is slidably connected to the support member, the support member is provided with a plurality of rollers for guiding the mop, the rollers are rotatably connected to the support member, the support member is also provided with at least one inclined slide rail, the swivel member slides on the slide rail, the swivel member is provided with a plurality of through holes for guiding sewage, and the outlet of the through holes flows to the sewage tank.

[0017] Furthermore, the sewage tank is equipped with a drain outlet.

[0018] Furthermore, the lid is provided with two sets of guide grooves, the positions of which correspond to the washing area and the squeegee area, respectively. The mop is provided with guide blocks that slide in the guide grooves. When the guide blocks on the mop enter the guide grooves, the mop can slide up and down along the guide grooves.

[0019] Furthermore, the contamination isolation zone is equipped with a drainage mechanism, which is used to discharge residual water in the contamination isolation zone into the sewage tank.

[0020] Furthermore, the drainage mechanism includes an inlet, an outlet, and a drainage structure connected to the inlet and the outlet. The drainage structure includes a water storage pipe and a cylinder drive assembly. The cylinder drive assembly is installed on the water storage pipe. When the mop is squeezed dry, the driving force generated by the up-and-down movement of the mop and the friction with the cylinder drive assembly can draw the residual water in the inlet to the water storage pipe and then discharge it to the sewage tank through the outlet.

[0021] Furthermore, the water inlet channel can also be a dual channel, with one channel connecting to the clear water tank and the other channel connecting to the sludge-proof zone; the water outlet channel is a dual channel, with one channel used to discharge the clear water entering through the water inlet channel connected to the clear water tank, and the other channel used to discharge the sewage entering through the water inlet channel connected to the sludge-proof zone.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] 1. In actual operation, when the driving component of the water supply mechanism of this utility model drives the piston to move upward, the first blocking component is pressed upward and restricted to stop, while the second blocking component is opened by upward force, and clean water is drawn in.

[0037] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention. Specific Implementation

[0038] A self-cleaning multi-functional mop bucket includes a bucket body 1. The bucket body 1 has independent clean water tank 11 and wastewater tank 12. One of the clean water tank 11 and the wastewater tank 12 is equipped with a water supply mechanism 13. Specifically, the wastewater tank 12 has a dirt-separating zone 14, within which the mop moves up and down. Specifically, the wastewater tank 12 is equipped with a cleaning mechanism 121, located at the outlet of the water outlet channel 132. Specifically, the cleaning mechanism 121 includes a cleaning component 1211 and a plurality of spray nozzles 1212, the spray nozzles 1212 communicating with the water outlet. Specifically, the wastewater tank is equipped with a drain outlet 111. Specifically, the contamination zone 14 is equipped with a drainage mechanism 141, which is used to discharge residual water in the contamination zone 14 to the sewage tank 12. The drainage mechanism 141 includes an inlet 141-1, an outlet 141-2, and a drainage structure 141-3 communicating with the inlet 141-1 and the outlet 141-2. The drainage structure 141-3 includes a water storage pipe 141-31 and a cylinder drive assembly 141-32. The cylinder drive assembly 141-32 is installed on the water storage pipe 141-31. When shaving, the driving force generated by the up-and-down movement of the mop and its contact with the cylinder drive assembly 141-32 can draw the residual water in the inlet 141-1 to the water storage pipe 141-31 and then discharge it to the sewage tank 12 through the outlet 141-2. In this embodiment, the contact is friction; the driving force is generated by the friction between the mop cloth and the water discharge drive assembly 1332 when the mop moves up and down.

[0039] In other embodiments, the water inlet channel 131 can also be a dual channel, with one channel connecting to the clean water tank 11 and the other channel connecting to the dirt-separating zone 14; the water outlet channel 132 is also a dual channel, with one channel for discharging the clean water entering through the water inlet channel 131 connected to the clean water tank 11, and the other channel for discharging the wastewater entering through the water inlet channel 131 connected to the dirt-separating zone 14. When the mop slides up and down in the cleaning area, it can simultaneously drive the cleaning mechanism to clean and discharge the residual water in the dirt-separating zone 14.

[0040] The water supply mechanism 13 includes an inlet channel 131, an outlet channel 132, and a water supply structure 133 communicating with the inlet channel 131 and the outlet channel 132. The water supply structure 133 includes a water storage pipe 1331 and an outlet drive assembly 1332. The outlet drive assembly 1332 is installed in the water storage pipe 1331. When the mop moves up and down, the driving force generated by friction with the outlet drive assembly 1332 can draw clean water in the inlet channel 131 to the water storage pipe 1331 and then discharge it through the outlet channel 132. Specifically, the outlet drive assembly 1332 includes a piston 13321 and a drive member 13322. The piston 13321 is connected to the drive member 13322 through a connector 13323. The piston 13321 is located inside the water storage pipe 1331, and the mop can drive the drive member 13322 to rotate on the water storage pipe 1331. Specifically, the connecting member 13323 includes a connecting rod 133232 and a crank 133231. The crank 133231 is connected to the driving member 13322. One end of the connecting rod 133232 is hinged to the piston 13321, and the other end is rotatably connected to the crank 133231. When the driving member 13322 rotates, the crank 133231 drives the connecting rod 133232 to move upward / downward. Specifically, the water supply structure 133 also includes an inlet pipe 1311 communicating with the inlet channel 131 and an outlet pipe 1321 communicating with the outlet channel 132. The inlet pipe 1311, the water storage pipe 1331, and the outlet pipe 1321 are interconnected. Specifically, the inlet pipe 1311 has a first blocking member 1312 near the outlet pipe 1321, and the outlet pipe 1321 has a second blocking member 1322 near the inlet pipe 1311. When the driving member 13322 drives the piston 13321 to move upward, the second blocking member 1322 is pressed downward and restricted, while the first blocking member 1312 is opened upward, allowing clean water to be drawn in. When the driving member 13322 drives the piston 13321 to move downward, the first blocking member 1312 is pressed downward and restricted, while the second blocking member 1322 is opened upward, allowing clean water to spray out from the outlet pipe 1321. In other embodiments, the piston 13321 can also be a vane pump or a gear pump.

[0041] Specifically, a lid 2 is installed on the upper end of the bucket body 1. The lid 2 is fixedly connected to a support member 21. A squeegee 22 is slidably connected to the support member 21. The support member 21 has several rollers 211 for guiding the mop. The rollers 211 are rotatably connected to the support member 21. The support member 21 also has at least one inclined slide rail 212. The squeegee 22 slides on the slide rail 212. The squeegee 22 has several through holes for guiding wastewater. The outlet of the through holes flows to the wastewater tank 12. Specifically, the lid 2 also has two sets of guide grooves 23. The positions of the two sets of guide grooves 23 correspond to the washing area and the squeegee area, respectively. The mop has guide blocks that slide in the guide grooves 23. When the guide blocks on the mop enter the guide grooves 23, the mop can slide up and down along the guide grooves 23.

[0042] Operating principle:

[0043] When the mop is placed in the cleaning area, as it slides up and down, the mop cloth and gears rotate due to friction, which in turn drives the piston to move up and down to draw water from the clean water tank and spray it out from the water outlet to clean the mop.

[0044] When the mop is placed in the squeegee area, the squeegee can dry the water on the mop cloth and guide it into the wastewater tank as the mop slides up and down. However, a small amount of splashed water or residual water on the mop cloth will still flow into the sludge trap. Therefore, the sludge trap is also equipped with a drainage mechanism. While the mop is sliding up and down to dry the water, the friction between the mop cloth and the gears can drive the gears of the drainage mechanism to rotate, thereby driving the piston to move up and down, sucking in the water in the sludge trap and discharging it into the wastewater tank.

[0045] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
