Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cleaning tools, and in particular to a cleaning component with a mop bucket suitable for cleaning flat mops or foam flat mops. Background Technology

[0002] Most mop buckets for cleaning flat mops or foam flat mops require filling the bucket with water before placing the mop inside. Only the first rinse uses clean water; subsequent rinses use water that is slightly cleaner than the previous rinse. After cleaning, the mop is wrung out in a separate area. Numerous patents exist for mop buckets designed to clean flat mops. The core concept is that the mop bucket has separate wringing and water-holding areas. The water-holding area is used to clean the mop, while the wringing area is used to wring it dry. The water squeezed out of the mop is transferred to the water-holding area via a water transfer device.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN201821203889.3 (publication number CN209863678U) discloses a flat mop tool, including a mop bucket and a flat mop. The mop bucket has a separate wringing area and a separate water-holding area, and the wringing area is equipped with a squeezing device. The flat mop includes a cleaning material, a mop handle, and a flat mop plate connected to the lower end of the mop handle. In use, the flat mop is rotated to a squeezing state, and then the squeezing device is inserted into the wringing area. The mop moves up and down to squeeze the cleaning material, and the squeezed water is transferred to the water-holding area through a water transfer device. Since the amount of water squeezed out when the cleaning material is squeezed is greater than the amount of water entering the wringing area from the water-holding area through the slow-release mechanism, after multiple repetitions, almost all the water in the wringing area can be transferred to the water-holding area, and the cleaning material is also squeezed dry in the process. Afterwards, the water in the water-holding area enters the wringing area through the slow-release mechanism. When the flat mop gets dirty, it can then enter the wringing area for wringing and cleaning.

[0004] This type of flat mop cleaning tool has the following drawbacks: Each cleaning cycle requires a full water supply, necessitating refilling from the tap afterward. It lacks automatic water supply to the washing area, and the washing and wringing processes are separated into two distinct zones, requiring two separate operations to complete a single cleaning session, making the process inconvenient. Furthermore, wastewater from each cleaning cycle is discharged back into the water collection area, contaminating the water cup. This contaminated water then flows through the slow-release mechanism into the wringing area, meaning the water used for the next mop wash is not clean, affecting the cleanliness of the wiped items. The slow-release mechanism may have small, non-closable holes, meaning the lower part of the wiped item may remain soaked in water during the wringing process, resulting in poor wringing and incomplete drying.

[0005] In conclusion, the aforementioned flat mop cleaning tool can be further improved. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cleaning component with a mop bucket that enables automatic quantitative water supply and ensures that clean water is used in every cleaning operation, in order to address the above-mentioned existing technology. This cleaning component can simultaneously clean and wring out the mop in one area.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a cleaning component with a mop bucket, comprising a cleaning bucket and a mop, wherein the mop includes a mop head rotatably connected to the lower end of the mop handle, and the mop head is provided with a wiping agent; characterized in that: the cleaning bucket includes an outer bucket, a clean water bucket, and a washing bucket, wherein the clean water bucket and the washing bucket are at least partially installed inside the outer bucket, the bottom of the washing bucket is provided with a support component that supports the bottom end of the mop head entering therein, the clean water bucket and the washing bucket are connected by a water supply channel, the water supply channel is controlled to open and close by a switch, and the water supply channel... There is a height distance between the outlet end and the bottom of the cleaning tub. The cleaning tub is equipped with a scraper to squeeze the wiping material. The outlet end of the water supply channel and the scraper are located on opposite sides of the cleaning tub. The top of the clean water tub is closed. After the liquid is filled, the switch is closed. The mop head moves and squeezes between the wiping and squeezing device in the same position to move and squeeze the water out of the wiping material. During cleaning and squeezing, most of the liquid from the clean water tub is transferred from the cleaning tub to the outer tub. When the mop head is supported by the support component, the upper end of the mop head is located above the scraper.

[0008] Further improvements include a drainage channel above the aforementioned scraper that drains some of the water scraped off the wiping material into the outer bucket, and a return water channel that returns some water to the washing bucket. The water inlet of the water supply channel is located at the bottom of the clean water bucket or at the lower part of its surrounding structure. During cleaning, the flat mop head moves up and down inside the washing bucket, using the scraper to scrape and clean the wiping material. Each time, some wastewater scraped off the wiping material flows into the outer bucket through the drainage channel, while some wastewater flows back towards the washing bucket through the return water channel, replenishing the wiping material in the washing bucket. This means that initially, the water in the washing bucket does not need to completely wet the wiping material, thus saving water or allowing for multiple applications of wetted material with less water.

[0009] To ensure proper water return timing, the aforementioned water return channel can switch between a return state and a non-return state as the mop head moves up and down. When the mop head is down, it is in a wringing state, and the return flow replenishes the moisture on the wiped items. When the mop head is up, the return flow stops, avoiding replenishing moisture on wiped items that do not require replenishment.

[0010] To achieve a reasonable and simple structure for forming the return water channel, preferably, the aforementioned scraper has a scraping edge for scraping water from the wiping material. The scraper has an upward-extending water-retaining wall at the end away from the scraping edge. The water-retaining wall and the scraper form the return water channel, with the upper end open and the end facing the wiping material inserted into the washing tub also open. Only the water-retaining wall is needed to form both the drainage and return water channels on the scraper, eliminating the need for additional components. This simple structure facilitates manufacturing and assembly.

[0011] To form a drainage channel using a reasonable and simple structure, the area above the aforementioned water-retaining wall forms the drainage channel.

[0012] As an improvement, the aforementioned scraper is provided with pivots on both the front and rear sides. The scraper is pivotally connected to the washing tub via these pivots and can swing. The scraper edge and the water-blocking wall are located on the left and right sides of the pivots. This structure allows the scraper edge of the scraper to swing up and down. When the scraper edge swings downward to a near-horizontal position, it gets closer to the object being wiped, resulting in greater pressure on the object and facilitating water wringing. When the scraper edge swings upward, it moves further away from the object being wiped, making it easier for the flat mop head to disengage from the squeezing port.

[0013] Preferably, as the mop head moves downward into the cleaning tub, the scraper swings until the scraping edge is below the pivot, thus enabling backflow through the return channel. As the mop head moves upward out of the cleaning tub, the scraper swings until the scraping edge is above the pivot, and the return channel is in the closed position.

[0014] To ensure thorough transfer of water from the cleaning tub to the wastewater area, the top surface of the aforementioned scraper has a further recessed transition water storage cavity. The upward-swinging scraper pours the water from the transition water storage cavity into the outer tub. After several washes, when the amount of water on the wiped items is reduced and the energy of the squeezed water is insufficient to directly drain into the outer tub, the small amount of squeezed water is stored in the transition water storage cavity. The water in the transition water storage cavity can be drained into the outer tub by swinging, or it can be drained into the outer tub through a drain hole at the bottom of the transition water storage cavity.

[0015] It also includes a limiting structure that limits the swing angle range of the scraper, so that the scraper is blocked from flipping downwards by the limiting structure during the process of the mop head entering the cleaning bucket downwards.

[0016] In a further improvement, the upper and lower ends of the aforementioned clean water tank and washing tank are interlocked. This interlocking mechanism allows the clean water tank and washing tank to be pre-assembled before being installed into the outer tank, facilitating assembly and ensuring the stability of their relative positions.

[0017] To achieve a seamless connection between the clean water tank and the washing tank, as an improvement, the clean water tank has a first insertion part on its side wall or bottom, with a first through hole connecting the outside to its inner cavity. The washing tank has a second insertion part on its side wall, with a second through hole connecting the outside to its inner cavity. The second insertion part is inserted into the first through hole, which forms the water supply channel; alternatively, the first insertion part is inserted into the second through hole, which forms the water supply channel. Furthermore, the water supply channel is formed by the interlocking insertion parts, ensuring that the water supply channel has a certain length. Of course, the water supply channel can also be a hole on the side wall.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. The clean water tank is filled with clean water. When cleaning, turn on the switch, and the clean water tank supplies water to the cleaning tank through the water supply channel. Because the top of the clean water tank is sealed, a vacuum is formed above the liquid surface inside the clean water tank. When the water in the cleaning tank exceeds the outlet of the water supply channel, the clean water tank will automatically stop supplying water to the cleaning tank under atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the amount of water supplied each time is constant. The height distance between the outlet of the water supply channel and the bottom of the cleaning tank is the actual amount of water used for cleaning.

[0020] 2. With the switch closed, even if the liquid level drops, the clean water tank will not supply water to the washing tub. The mop head moves up and down inside the washing tub, using the scraper to clean the items being wiped. Each time, some wastewater is scraped off the items and drained into the outer tub through the drain channel. Repeat this up-and-down movement of the mop until most of the water in the washing tub has been transferred, thus thoroughly drying the items. The cleaning and drying process is completed in just one washing tub, making the wringing operation more convenient. For a second wash, simply turn the switch back on, and the clean water tank will supply water to the washing tub again through the water supply channel. Repeat the above steps to complete the second wash, ensuring that the mop is always washed with clean water.

[0021] 3. With the mop head supported by the support components, the upper end of the mop head is positioned above the scraper. This prevents interference from the scraper when moving the mop head upwards. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0036] like Figures 1-13 The figure shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] A cleaning assembly with a mop bucket includes a cleaning bucket 1 and a mop. The mop includes a mop head 3 rotatably connected to the lower end of a mop handle 2, and the mop head 3 is provided with a wiping material 4. The wiping material 4 can be a fiber cloth or foam.

[0038] The cleaning tub 1 includes an outer tub 11, a clean water tub 12, and a washing tub 13. The clean water tub 12 and the washing tub 13 are at least partially installed inside the outer tub 11. The bottom of the washing tub 13 is provided with a support member 8 that supports the bottom end of the mop head 3 that enters therein. The clean water tub 12 and the washing tub 13 are connected by a water supply channel D, which is controlled to open and close by a switch member 6. There is a height distance H between the outlet end D2 of the water supply channel D and the bottom of the washing tub 13. The washing tub 13 is provided with a support for the wiping material 4. The squeezing scraper 5, the outlet end D2 of the water supply channel D, and the squeezing scraper 5 are set on opposite sides of the cleaning tank 13. The top of the clean water tank 12 is closed. After the liquid is filled, the switch component 6 is closed. The mop head 3 moves and squeezes between the squeezing device 5 in the same position to move and squeeze the water out of the wiping material 4. During cleaning and squeezing, most of the liquid from the water holding area 1b is transferred from the cleaning tank 13 to the outer tank 11. When the mop head 3 is supported by the support component, the upper end of the mop head 3 is above the squeezing scraper 5.

[0039] Above the scraper 5, a drainage channel S1 is formed to drain some of the water scraped off the wiping material 4 into the outer bucket 11, and a return water channel S2 is formed to return some water to the washing bucket 13. The water inlet D1 of the water supply channel D is located at the bottom of the clean water bucket 12 or at the lower part of its surrounding structure. The return water channel S2 can switch between a return water state and a non-return water state as the mop head 3 moves up and down.

[0040] The scraper 5 has a scraping edge 51 for scraping water off the wiping material 4. At one end of the scraper 5 away from the scraping edge, there is an upwardly extending water-retaining wall 52. The water-retaining wall 52 and the scraper 5 together form the return water channel S2. The upper end of the return water channel S2 is open, and the end of the return water channel S2 facing the wiping material 4 inserted into the cleaning tub 13 is also open. The area above the water-retaining wall 52 forms the drainage channel S1.

[0041] The scraper 5 has pivots 53 on its front and rear sides. The scraper 5 is pivotally connected to the cleaning tub 13 via these pivots and can swing. The scraping edge 51 and the water-blocking wall 52 are located on the left and right sides of the pivots 53. During the downward movement of the mop head 3 into the cleaning tub 13, the scraper 5 swings until the scraping edge 51 is below the pivot 53. During the upward movement of the mop head 3 away from the cleaning tub 13, the scraper 5 swings until the scraping edge 51 is above the pivot 53. The top surface of the scraper 5 has a further recessed transition water-retaining cavity 54. The upward swinging scraper 5 can pour water from the transition water-retaining cavity 54 into the outer tub 11. A limiting structure 7 is also included to limit the swing angle range of the scraper 5. During the downward movement of the mop head 3 into the cleaning tub 13, the scraper 5 is prevented from tilting downwards by the limiting structure 7.

[0042] The upper and lower ends of the clean water tank 12 and the washing tank 13 are connected together by interlocking. The side wall or bottom of the clean water tank 12 has a first insertion part 9a, and the first insertion part 9a has a first through hole 9a1 that connects to the outside and its inner cavity. The side wall of the washing tank 13 has a second insertion part 9b, and the second insertion part 9b has a second through hole 9b1 that connects to the outside and its inner cavity. The second insertion part 9b is inserted into the first through hole 9a1, and the second through hole 9b1 constitutes the water supply channel D. Alternatively, the first insertion part 9a is inserted into the second through hole 9b1, and the first through hole 9a1 constitutes the water supply channel D.

[0043] Clean water tank 12 is filled with clean water. When cleaning, the switch is turned on, and water is supplied from clean water tank 12 to cleaning tank 13 through water supply channel D. Because the top of clean water tank 12 is closed, a vacuum is formed above the liquid surface inside clean water tank 12. When the water in cleaning tank 13 exceeds the outlet end D2 of water supply channel D, under atmospheric pressure, clean water tank 12 automatically stops supplying water to cleaning tank 13. Therefore, the amount of water supplied each time is constant. The height distance H between the outlet end D2 of water supply channel D and the bottom of cleaning tank 13 is the actual amount of water used for cleaning.

[0044] With switch 6 turned off, even if the liquid level drops, the clean water tank 12 will never supply water to the cleaning tank 13. The mop head 3 moves up and down inside the cleaning tank 13, using the scraper 51 to scrape and clean the wiping object 4. Each time, some wastewater is scraped off the wiping object 4 and discharged to the outer tank 11 through the drain channel S1. The mop is moved up and down repeatedly until the water in the cleaning tank 13 is basically transferred out, thus thoroughly squeezing the water off the wiping object 4. The cleaning and squeezing are completed in just one cleaning tank 12, making the water-squeezing operation more convenient. For the second cleaning, simply turn switch 6 back on, and the clean water tank 12 will supply water to the cleaning tank 13 again through the water supply channel D, and repeat the above operation to complete the second cleaning, ensuring that the mop is clean water every time it is cleaned.

[0045] With the mop head 3 supported by the support member 8, the upper end of the mop head 3 is positioned above the scraper plate 5. This prevents interference from the scraper plate 5 when the mop head is moved upwards.
