Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of cleaning tools, in particular to a mop cleaner suitable for cleaning a flat mop or a foamed cotton flat mop. BACKGROUND

[0002] There are many patents related to mop buckets for cleaning flat mops, and a representative patent is a Chinese utility model patent with the patent number CN201821203889.3 (publication number CN209863678U) which 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 a wringing device is arranged on the bucket body of the wringing area; the flat mop includes a wiping material, a mop rod, and a flat mop plate connected to the lower end of the mop rod. When in use, the flat mop is rotated to a wringing state, and then inserted into the wringing device in the wringing area, and moved up and down to wring the wiping material through the wringing device, and the water squeezed out of the wiping material is transferred to the water holding area through a water transfer device. Since the amount of water squeezed out of the wiping material is greater than the amount of water entering the wringing area from the water holding area through the slow-release mechanism, the water in the wringing area can be basically completely transferred to the water holding area after multiple reciprocations, and the wiping material is also wrung dry in this process. Then the water in the water holding area enters the wringing area through the slow-release mechanism, and the flat mop can enter the wringing area for wringing and cleaning after the wiping material is dirty.

[0003] The applicant of the foregoing patent has also applied for many similar patents with different protection focuses, but the core is that the mop bucket has a separate wringing area and a separate water holding area, the water holding area is used to clean the mop, and the wringing area is used to wring the mop, and the water squeezed out of the wiping material is transferred to the water holding area through a water transfer device.

[0004] The flat mop cleaning tool has the following defects: cleaning and wringing are divided into two areas, and two operations in different areas are required to complete a cleaning work, which is inconvenient for cleaning operation. In addition, the sewage washed off the wiping material each time is discharged back to the water holding area, which pollutes the water cup in the water holding area, and the polluted water in the water holding area enters the wringing area through the slow-release mechanism, so that the water used for cleaning the mop next time is not clean water, which affects the cleaning of the wiping material.

[0005] In summary, the foregoing flat mop cleaning tool can be further improved. SUMMARY

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a mop cleaning ball which can complete cleaning and wringing operations in one cavity and save water, in view of the above-mentioned prior art status.

[0007] The invention solves the above technical problems by the following technical scheme: A mop cleaner comprises a cleaning bucket and a mop, the mop comprises a mop head rotatably connected to the lower end of a mop rod, the mop head is provided with a wiping material, the cleaning bucket has a cleaning cavity and a sewage cavity which are independent of each other, the cleaning cavity is used to receive clean water and allow the mop head to enter for cleaning, the sewage cavity is used to receive part of the sewage squeezed from the wiping material, and the cleaning cavity is provided with a squeezing member; characterized in that: the outer edge of the squeezing member forms a squeezing edge for squeezing the wiping material, the squeezing member has a water baffle extending upward at one end away from the squeezing edge, and the top surface of the squeezing member constitutes a water guide surface which is downwardly inclined from the water baffle to the squeezing edge; when the mop head enters the cleaning cavity downward to squeeze the water from the wiping material on the mop head, the mop head is rotated to a squeezable state in which the mop head is substantially parallel to the mop rod, the mop head and the mop rod are inserted into the cleaning cavity to move up and down in this state, the wiping material is squeezed by the squeezing member, the water squeezed from the wiping material is blocked by the water baffle and flows back along the water guide surface to the wiping material, and part of the water squeezed from the wiping material passes over the water baffle to enter the sewage cavity.

[0008] Preferably, the amount of water returned by one squeezing is less than the amount of water discharged to the sewage cavity. While ensuring that the returned water replenishes the soaking of the wiping material, the amount of returned water is less than the amount of discharged water, thereby accelerating the cleaning time.

[0009] To facilitate water injection into the cleaning cavity, as an improvement, the cleaning cavity is provided with a water injection port for connecting to an external water tank or a water faucet, and further comprises a switch arranged in the cleaning cavity to close the water injection port. When water injection is performed, the water faucet and the water injection port are connected by a water pipe, and then the water faucet is opened to inject water. Of course, water injection can also be achieved by an external water tank.

[0010] Further improvement, the top surface of the squeezing member has a further concave transition water storage cavity, when the wiping material is cleaned several times, the amount of water on the wiping material is small, and the energy of the squeezed water is not enough to be directly discharged to the sewage cavity, the small amount of squeezed water is stored in the transition water storage cavity, and the water in the transition water storage cavity can be discharged to the sewage cavity by swinging or by being provided with a drainage hole at the bottom of the transition water storage cavity.

[0011] Preferably, the squeezing member can swing, and further comprises a limiting structure for limiting the swinging angle range of the squeezing member, and the squeezing member is blocked by the limiting structure and cannot be turned downward during the process of the mop head entering the cleaning cavity downward. The downwardly swinging squeezing member can be closer to the wiping material, and the water scraping effect is better, on the contrary, the upwardly turned squeezing member is farther away from the wiping material, which is beneficial to the separation of the mop head.

[0012] To adopt a simple and reasonable way to discharge the water in the transition water storage cavity to the sewage cavity, the upwardly swinging squeezing member can pour the water in the transition water storage cavity to the sewage cavity.

[0013] In order to clean the dirt such as hair on the wiping object, a brush assembly is arranged in the cleaning cavity to clean the surface of the wiping object.

[0014] Alternatively, the cleaning barrel comprises an outer barrel and a cleaning inner barrel, the cleaning inner barrel is at least partially arranged in the outer barrel, the inner cavity of the cleaning inner barrel forms the cleaning cavity, and the inner cavity of the outer barrel forms the sewage cavity.The two barrels are arranged to make the regions more independent from each other, and compared with the two regions separated by the partition, the manufacturing is more convenient, and each region can be designed specifically.

[0015] In order to stably fix the cleaning inner barrel in the outer barrel, the bottom of the outer barrel supports the cleaning inner barrel.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the cleaning barrel has the cleaning cavity and the sewage cavity which are independent from each other, clean water is directly poured into the cleaning cavity (through a faucet, a water bottle or a water tank) before cleaning, during cleaning, the mop head is rotated to a squeezable state which is substantially parallel to the mop rod, the mop head and the mop rod in the state are inserted into the cleaning cavity and move up and down, the wiping object is squeezed and cleaned by the squeezing and scraping element, the water squeezed from the wiping object is blocked by the water baffle and flows back along the water guide surface to the wiping object, and the wiping object is soaked, so that the water in the cleaning cavity does not need to be completely soaked in the wiping object in the initial state, and water can be saved, the water squeezed from the wiping object passes above the water baffle and enters the sewage cavity. The mop is repeatedly moved up and down until the water in the cleaning cavity is basically transferred, and the water on the wiping object is fully squeezed, the cleaning and squeezing are completed in one cleaning cavity, and the water squeezing operation is more convenient; during the second cleaning, clean water is poured into the cleaning cavity again, and the above steps are repeated, so that the mop is cleaned by clean water each time.

[0023] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] As shown in Fig. 1, it is a preferred embodiment of the present application. Figures 1 to 6

[0025] A mop cleaner comprises a cleaning bucket 1 and a mop, the mop comprises a mop head 3 rotatably connected to the lower end of a mop rod 2, and a wiping material 4 is arranged on the mop head 3, which can be a fiber cloth or a foamed cotton.

[0026] The cleaning bucket has a washing cavity 1a and a sewage cavity 1b which are independent of each other, the washing cavity 1a is used to receive clean water and allow the mop head 3 to enter for cleaning, and the sewage cavity 1b is used to receive part of the sewage squeezed from the wiping material 4, and the washing cavity 1a is provided with a squeezing member 5.

[0027] The outer edge of the squeezing member 5 forms a squeezing edge 51 for squeezing the wiping material 4, and the squeezing member 5 has a water baffle 52 extending upward at one end away from the squeezing edge 51, the top surface of the squeezing member 5 constitutes a water guide surface 53 which is arranged to be downwardly inclined from the water baffle 52 to the squeezing edge 51, the top edge of the water baffle 52 is the starting point of the high position of the water guide surface 53, and the squeezing edge 51 is the ending point of the low position of the water guide surface 53; when the mop head 3 enters the washing cavity 1a downwardly to squeeze the wiping material 4 on the mop head 3, the mop head 3 is rotated to a squeezable state substantially parallel to the mop rod 2, the mop head 3 and the mop rod 2 in this state are inserted into the washing cavity 1a and move up and down, the wiping material 4 is squeezed by the squeezing member 5, part of the water squeezed from the wiping material 4 is blocked by the water baffle 52 and flows back along the water guide surface 53 to the wiping material 4, and part of the water squeezed from the wiping material 4 passes over the water baffle 52 and enters the sewage cavity 1b. The amount of water returned after one squeezing is less than the amount of water discharged to the sewage cavity 1b.

[0028] The washing cavity 1a is provided with a water inlet 1a1 for connecting to an external water tank or a faucet, and further comprises a switch 6 arranged in the washing cavity 1a for closing the water inlet 1a1.

[0029] The squeezing member 5 can swing, and the top surface of the squeezing member 5 has a further concave transition water storage cavity 54. Further, a limiting structure 7 is arranged to limit the swinging angle range of the squeezing member 5, and the squeezing member 5 is blocked by the limiting structure 7 and cannot be turned downwardly during the process that the mop head 3 enters the washing cavity 1a downwardly. ​

[0030] The cleaning bucket 1 comprises an outer bucket 11 and a cleaning inner bucket 12, which is at least partially installed in the outer bucket 11, and an inner cavity of the cleaning inner bucket 12 constitutes the cleaning cavity 1a, and an inner cavity of the outer bucket 11 constitutes the sewage cavity 1b. The inner bottom of the outer bucket 11 supports the cleaning inner bucket 12.

[0031] The cleaning bucket 1 has the cleaning cavity 1a and the sewage cavity 1b independent of each other. Before cleaning, clean water is directly poured into the cleaning cavity 1a (through a faucet, a water jug or an externally hung water tank). During cleaning, the mop head 3 is rotated to a squeezable state substantially parallel to the mop rod 2. In this state, the mop head 3 and the mop rod 2 are jointly inserted into the cleaning cavity 1a and moved up and down. The squeezing and scraping edges 51 of the squeezing and scraping piece 5 squeeze and scrape the wiping material 4. The water-blocking plate 52 blocks a part of water squeezed from the wiping material 4 and returns the water to the wiping material 4 along the water guide surface 53, thereby supplementing the water in the wiping material 4. In the initial state, the water in the cleaning cavity 1a does not need to completely soak the wiping material 4, so that water can be saved. A part of the water squeezed from the wiping material 4 passes over the water-blocking plate 52 and enters the sewage cavity 1b. When the wiping material 4 has less water after several cleanings, and the energy of the squeezed water is not enough to be directly discharged to the sewage cavity 1b, the small amount of squeezed water is stored in the transition water storage cavity 54. The water in the transition water storage cavity 54 can be discharged to the sewage cavity 1b through a swinging mode. The wiping material 4 is fully squeezed dry after the wiping material 4 is repeatedly moved up and down until the water in the cleaning cavity 1a is basically transferred. The cleaning and squeezing dry are completed in one cleaning cavity 1a, and the water squeezing operation is more convenient. During the second cleaning, clean water is injected into the cleaning cavity 1a again, and the above steps are repeated to ensure that the mop is cleaned with clean water each time.
