TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cleaning tools, especially a cleaning tool suitable for cleaning flat mop or foamed cotton flat mop. BACKGROUND
[0002] The mop cleaning barrel for cleaning flat mop or foamed cotton flat mop mostly needs to fill water in the barrel body, and then the mop is put in for cleaning. Only the first time cleaning is with clean water, and the next time cleaning is with the second clean water in the barrel. After cleaning, the squeezing operation is carried out in another area.
[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with patent No. CN201821203889.3 (publication No. CN209863678U) discloses a flat mop tool, which comprises a mop bucket and a flat mop. The mop bucket has a separate squeezing water area and a separate water holding area. The barrel body of the squeezing water area is provided with a squeezing device. The flat mop comprises a wiping material, a mop rod, and a flat mop plate connected to the lower end of the mop rod. During use, the flat mop is rotated to a state where it can be squeezed, and then the squeezing device is inserted into the squeezing water area. The wiping material is squeezed by the squeezing device through up and down movement. The water squeezed out of the wiping material is transferred to the water holding area through the water transfer device. Because the amount of water squeezed out of the wiping material is greater than the amount of water entering the squeezing area from the water holding area through the slow-release mechanism, the water in the squeezing water area can be basically completely transferred to the water holding area after multiple reciprocations. The wiping material is also squeezed dry in this process. Then, the water in the water holding area enters the squeezing water area through the slow-release mechanism. After the flat mop is used for mopping and the wiping material is dirty, the flat mop can enter the squeezing water area for squeezing and cleaning.
[0004] Although the foregoing patent can perform cleaning and squeezing operations in the same area (squeezing water area), the sewage washed off the wiping material each time is discharged back to the water holding area, which causes the water cup in the water holding area to be contaminated. The contaminated water in the water holding area enters the squeezing water area through the slow-release mechanism, so that the water used for cleaning the mop the next time is not clean water, which affects the cleaning of the wiping material. The amount of water released into the squeezing water area through the slow-release mechanism each time cannot be quantitatively controlled, that is, the amount of water used for cleaning the mop each time is not quantified. The water used for cleaning the mop may not fully immerse the wiping material, which further affects the cleaning of the wiping material.
[0005] In summary, how to automatically and quantitatively supply water is a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
[0006] The utility model solves the technical problem in the prior art, and provides a mop cleaning device that ensures that the water used for cleaning and squeezing each time is clean water and can automatically quantitatively supply clean water each time.
[0007] The utility model discloses a mop cleaning device that solves the above technical problems, which comprises a cleaning bucket and a mop, wherein the mop comprises a mop head rotatably connected to the lower end of a mop rod, and a wiping material is arranged on the mop head; the cleaning bucket has a clean water area, a washing area and a sewage area which are independent of each other; the washing area is provided with a water squeezing component for squeezing the wiping material; the top end of the clean water area is closed, and the clean water area and the middle part of the washing area are connected through a water supply channel; the water supply channel is controlled by an opening and closing switch; the water supply channel also serves as an air inlet channel, so that air enters the liquid surface above the clean water area in the clean water area through the water supply channel while the water supply channel supplies water to the washing area; the mop head is rotated to an squeezable state in which the mop head and the mop rod are substantially parallel to each other; the mop head and the mop rod are inserted into the washing area and move up and down; the wiping material is squeezed by the water squeezing component; the washing area is further provided with a drainage channel for draining the water squeezed from the wiping material to the sewage area and a backflow channel for returning the water to the washing area; the drainage channel and the backflow channel are arranged on the upper part of the washing area; and the drainage channel is at least partially located on the upper part of the backflow channel.
[0008] Preferably, the water outlet end of the water supply channel and the bottom of the washing area have a height distance; the smaller the height distance, the less water is needed to block the water outlet end of the water supply channel, and the more times the water in the clean water area can be used; however, if too little water flows into the washing area, the wiping material cannot be sufficiently immersed, which affects the cleaning effect.
[0009] Preferably, the water level height when the water in the washing area is higher than the water outlet end of the water supply channel is an initial water level height; when the mop head is completely inserted into the washing area, the water level in the washing area is raised to a second water level height, and the height of the wiping material is higher than the second water level height; the wiping material above the second water level height is not immersed, and this part of the wiping material can be immersed by the water transferred through the second water transfer channel, so that less water is used in the washing area each time.
[0010] To ensure that air can be stably introduced into the water supply channel while water is supplied, and to ensure that water can be quickly discharged from the water supply channel, the water supply channel is preferably horizontally arranged, or the water supply channel is arranged to be inclined downward from the water inlet end to the water outlet end, or at least the top end of the water inlet end of the water supply channel is higher than the top end of the water outlet end.
[0011] To ensure that the water in the clean water area can be fully discharged, the water inlet end of the water supply channel is located at the bottom of the clean water area or the lower part of the surrounding body.
[0012] As a preference, the above-mentioned wringing member is plate-shaped and swingable, the front part of the wringing member forms a scraper part with a thickness decreasing from back to front, at least at the back of the top surface of the wringing member, a baffle extending upward is provided, the upper part of the baffle forms the drainage channel, and the front part of the baffle and the top surface of the wringing member enclose the backflow channel. The scraper part with a thickness decreasing from back to front is more conducive to clearly wiping off dirt on the wiping object, the baffle can block the water flow to make it backflow to the cleaning area, the baffle has a limited height, and the water squeezed off from the wiping object can pass over the baffle to form the drainage channel.
[0013] To ensure that the wringing member swings within a proper angle range, a limiting structure is further provided to limit the swinging angle range of the wringing member, during the process of the mop head entering the cleaning area downwardly, the wringing member is blocked by the limiting structure and cannot turn over downwardly, and during the process of the mop head leaving the cleaning area upwardly, the wringing member is blocked by the limiting structure and cannot turn over upwardly. The downwardly swinging wringing member can make the scraper part closer to the wiping object, and the water squeezing effect is better, and conversely, the upwardly turned wringing member can make the scraper part farther away from the wiping object, which is beneficial to the separation of the mop head.
[0014] To avoid water splashing out of the cleaning area upwardly during the cleaning process when the mop head is moved downwardly in the cleaning area, as an improvement, a water baffle is provided in the cleaning area, and the water baffle is arranged opposite to the back plate of the mop head entering the cleaning area.
[0015] As an option, the above-mentioned cleaning bucket includes an outer bucket, a first inner bucket and a second inner bucket, the inner cavity of the outer bucket constitutes the sewage area, the inner cavity of the first inner bucket constitutes the clean water area, and the inner cavity of the second inner bucket constitutes the cleaning area, and the first inner bucket and the second inner bucket are at least partially installed in the outer bucket. The provision of the three bucket bodies can make the areas more independent of each other, and compared with the provision of a partition to separate the three areas, the manufacturing is more convenient, and each area can be designed specifically.
[0016] To ensure that a relatively small amount of water can also make the highest water level in the cleaning area move upwardly as much as possible after the mop enters the cleaning area, at least a part of an inner wall of the above-mentioned second inner bucket is arranged to be inclined, so that the cleaning area has a flared shape from bottom to top. In this way, the wiping object can be soaked with relatively less water as much as possible.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the utility model discloses the advantages are in: because the top of water purification area is closed, when cleaning, open the switch, and water purification area supplies water to the cleaning area through the water supply channel, and air enters above the liquid level in water purification area through the water supply channel simultaneously, when the water in the cleaning area is over the water outlet end of the water supply channel, under the action of atmospheric pressure, water purification area automatically does not supply water to the cleaning area any more, so the water amount of each water supply is certain.

[0031] The utility model will be described further in detail in combination with the drawings.
[0032] As Figures 1-8 The preferred embodiment of the utility model is shown.
[0033] A mop cleaning device, comprising a cleaning bucket 1 and a mop, the mop comprising a mop head 3 rotatably connected to the lower end of a mop rod 2, the mop head 3 being provided with a wiping material 4, which can be a fiber cloth or a foamed cotton.
[0034] The cleaning bucket 1 has a clean water area 1a, a cleaning area 1b and a sewage area 1c, which are independent of each other. The cleaning area 1b is provided with a water extrusion component 5 for extruding the wiping material 4, and the top end of the clean water area 1a is closed. The clean water area 1a and the middle part of the cleaning area 1b are connected through a water supply channel S, and the water outlet end of the water supply channel S and the bottom of the cleaning area 1b have a height distance H. The water supply channel S is horizontally arranged, or the water supply channel S is arranged obliquely downward from the water inlet end S1 to the water outlet end S2, or at least the top end of the water inlet end S1 of the water supply channel S is higher than the top end of the water outlet end S2. The water inlet end S1 of the water supply channel S is located at the bottom of the clean water area 1a or the lower part of the surrounding body. The water supply channel S is controlled by a switch 6, and the water supply channel S also serves as an air inlet channel, so that water is injected into the cleaning area 1b through the water supply channel S, and air enters above the liquid surface in the clean water area 1a through the water supply channel S.
[0035] The mop head 3 is rotated to a state of being extrudable substantially parallel to the mop rod 2, and the mop head 3 and the mop rod 2 in this state are inserted into the cleaning area 1b and moved up and down, so that the wiping material 4 is extruded and scraped by the water extrusion component 5. The cleaning area 1b is also provided with a drainage channel D1 for draining the water extruded and scraped from the wiping material 4 to the sewage area 1c and a backflow channel D2 for backflowing to the cleaning area 1b, and the drainage channel D1 and the backflow channel D2 are arranged in the upper part of the cleaning area 1b. The drainage channel D1 is at least partially located in the upper part of the backflow channel D2.
[0036] The water level in the cleaning area 1b when the water reaches the water outlet end of the water supply channel S is the initial water level h1, and when the mop head 3 is completely in the cleaning area 1b, the water level in the cleaning area 1b is raised to the second water level h2, and the height of the wiping object 4 is higher than the second water level h2.
[0037] The wringing member 5 is plate-shaped and can swing, the front part of the wringing member 5 forms a scraper part 51 with a thickness that decreases from back to front, and an upwardly extending baffle 52 is arranged at least at the back of the top surface of the wringing member 5, the upper part of the baffle 52 forms the drainage channel D1, and the front part of the baffle and the top surface of the wringing member 5 form the backflow channel D2.
[0038] The wringing member 5 is limited in the swinging angle range by a limiting structure, and during the process of the mop head 3 entering the cleaning area 1b, the wringing member 5 is blocked by the limiting structure and cannot be flipped downwardly, and during the process of the mop head 3 leaving the cleaning area 1b, the wringing member 5 is blocked by the limiting structure and cannot be flipped upwardly.
[0039] A water baffle 131 is arranged in the cleaning area 1b, and the water baffle 131 is arranged opposite to the back plate of the mop head 3 entering the cleaning area 1b.
[0040] The cleaning bucket 1 in the embodiment comprises an outer bucket 11, a first inner bucket 12 and a second inner bucket 13, the inner cavity of the outer bucket 11 constitutes the sewage area 1c, the inner cavity of the first inner bucket 12 constitutes the clean water area 1a, and the inner cavity of the second inner bucket 13 constitutes the cleaning area 1b, and the first inner bucket 12 and the second inner bucket 13 are at least partially arranged in the outer bucket 11. One inner wall of the second inner bucket is at least partially arranged in an inclined manner, so that the cleaning area 1b is flared from bottom to top.
[0041] Because the top end of the clean water area 1a is closed, during cleaning, the switch 6 is opened, the clean water area 1a supplies water to the cleaning area 1b through the water supply channel S, and air enters above the liquid surface in the clean water area 1a through the water supply channel S, when the water in the cleaning area 1b reaches the water outlet end of the water supply channel S, under the action of atmospheric pressure, the clean water area 1a automatically stops supplying water to the cleaning area 1b, so the amount of water supplied each time is constant. The mop is repeatedly moved up and down multiple times, until the water in the cleaning area 1b is completely transferred away through the drainage channel D1 (to the sewage area 1c), so that the water on the wiping object 4 can be fully wrung out; during the second cleaning, the switch 6 is opened again, and the above steps are repeated, so that the cleaning and wringing of the mop are completed in one area (the cleaning area 1b); because, at the beginning, part of the water scraped off from the wiping object 4 flows back to the cleaning area through the backflow channel D2, the part of the wiping object 4 that is not soaked can be wetted, which means that the amount of water used for cleaning in the cleaning area can be reduced each time, thereby achieving the effect of water saving.
[0042] It should be noted that in the description of the present embodiment, the terms "front, rear, left, right, upper, lower" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are merely for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present utility model.
