Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

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

[0002] 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 wringing area and a separate water holding area. A wringing device is arranged on the bucket body of the wringing area. 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 wringing state, and then the wringing device is inserted into the wringing area. The wiping material is wrung by moving up and down to pass through the wringing device. The water wrung out of the wiping material is transferred to the water holding area through a water transfer device. Since the amount of water wrung 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. During this process, the wiping material is also wrung dry. Then, the water in the water holding area enters the wringing area through the slow-release mechanism. After the flat mop is used for mopping and the wiping material is dirty, the flat mop can be used for wringing and cleaning in the wringing area.

[0003] Although the aforementioned patent can perform cleaning and wringing operations in the same area (the wringing area), the dirty water cleaned from 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 wringing 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 wringing 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.

[0004] In view of the above, the mop cleaning tool can be further improved. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application solves the technical problem of the prior art by providing a mop cleaning tool that is convenient to operate and saves water. The cleaning tool can ensure that the water used for cleaning and wringing each time is clean water.

[0006] The technical scheme adopted by the present application to solve the above technical problems is: a mop cleaning device, comprising a cleaning bucket and a mop, the mop comprising a mop head rotatably connected to the lower end of a mop rod, the mop head being provided with a wiping material, the cleaning bucket having a first cavity and a second cavity which are independent of each other; characterized in that: the first cavity and the second cavity are communicated through a flow channel, the flow channel being provided with an opening and closing element, the first cavity being used to fill and store clean water, the second cavity being used to receive the clean water flowing in through the flow channel and to allow the mop head to enter for cleaning, the second cavity being provided with a squeezing and scraping element, the outer edge of the squeezing and scraping element forming a squeezing and scraping edge for squeezing and scraping the wiping material, the squeezing and scraping element being provided at one end away from the squeezing and scraping edge with a water baffle extending upward; during the process of the mop head entering the second cavity downward, the inner wall of the second cavity supports the back plate of the mop head, the top surface of the squeezing and scraping element being provided with a water guide surface which is downwardly inclined from the water baffle to the squeezing and scraping edge, the water baffle blocking a part of the water squeezed off the wiping material and causing the water to flow back along the water guide surface to the wiping material, and the part of the water squeezed off the wiping material flowing out of the second cavity from above the water baffle; in the state that the mop head is inserted into the second cavity and supported by the second cavity, the squeezing and scraping edge still squeezes the wiping material.

[0007] Further improvement, the top surface of the squeezing and scraping element has a further concave transition water storage cavity, and the upwardly swinging squeezing and scraping element can pour the water in the transition water storage cavity to the outside of the second cavity. After being cleaned several times, the amount of water on the wiping material is small, and the energy of the squeezed water is not enough to directly drain to the outside of the second cavity. Therefore, 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 to the outside of the second cavity by swinging, or a drain hole can be provided at the bottom of the transition water storage cavity to drain to the outside of the second cavity.

[0008] In order to better form the inclined water guide surface on the top surface of the squeezing and scraping element, as an improvement, the squeezing and scraping element can swing, and further comprising a limiting structure for limiting the swinging angle range of the squeezing and scraping element, and during the process of the mop head entering the second cavity downward, the squeezing and scraping element is blocked by the limiting structure and cannot be turned downward. After swinging, the water baffle on the squeezing and scraping element is also inclined, which is more conducive to the flow of water along the water guide surface to the wiping material.

[0009] Further improvement, the top of the first cavity is provided with a cover for blocking the upper port of the second cavity, the cover being ultrasonically welded or connected with the upper port of the second cavity by a fastener, the cover being provided with a water filling hole, and the water filling hole being provided with a removable plug for blocking. The cover is provided to form a closed top end of the first cavity. During cleaning, the opening and closing element is opened, the first cavity supplies water to the second cavity through the flow channel, and when the water in the first cavity reaches the water outlet end of the flow channel, the first cavity automatically stops supplying water to the second cavity under the action of atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the amount of water supplied to the second cavity each time is constant, and automatic quantitative water supply can be achieved.

[0010] As an improvement, the flow channel serves as an air inlet channel, so that water is supplied to the second cavity through the flow channel, and air enters the first cavity through the flow channel at the same time. In this way, atmospheric pressure principle can be better utilized. When the water in the second cavity covers the outlet end of the flow channel, the first cavity stops supplying water to the second cavity. When the water in the second cavity does not cover the outlet end of the flow channel, and the opening and closing element is opened, the water in the first cavity automatically supplies water to the second cavity, and air enters the first cavity above the effective liquid level through the flow channel, ensuring smooth water supply of the flow channel, without the need for additional air inlet valve, and the structure is simpler.

[0011] Alternatively, the cleaning barrel includes an outer barrel, a first inner barrel and a second inner barrel, the first inner barrel and the second inner barrel are at least partially installed in the outer barrel, the inner cavity of the first inner barrel constitutes the first cavity, the inner cavity of the second inner barrel constitutes the second cavity, the inner cavity of the outer barrel constitutes the outside of the second cavity, and the middle part of the first inner barrel and the second inner barrel are connected through the flow channel. The three barrel bodies are arranged, which can make each area more independent of each other, compared with being separated into three areas by a partition, it is more beneficial to manufacturing, and each area can be designed specifically.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the first inner barrel and the second inner barrel are arranged in an upper and lower staggered manner, and the bottom of the first inner barrel is located above the bottom of the second inner barrel. This makes the lowest position of the second cavity lower than the outlet end of the flow channel, which is beneficial to the inflow of water into the second cavity. The smaller the difference between the first inner barrel and the second inner barrel, the less water can block the outlet end of the flow channel, and the water in the clean water area can be used more frequently. Of course, if too little water flows into the cleaning area, it cannot ensure that the water is sufficiently immersed in the wiping object, which affects the cleaning effect.

[0013] Further improvement, the first inner barrel and the second inner barrel are fixed on the connecting component by screws or buckles, and the connecting component is installed in the outer barrel. When assembling, the two inner barrels can be pre-installed on the connecting component to ensure the relative position of the two inner barrels, and then the connecting component is fixed in the outer barrel, which is more convenient to assemble.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: the first chamber is only responsible for supplying clean water to the second chamber through the flow channel; during cleaning, the opening and closing element is opened, the first chamber supplies water to the second chamber through the flow channel, and after the water supply is completed, the opening and closing element is closed, the mop head enters the second chamber and moves downward, and the scraping edge of the squeezing member scrapes and cleans the wiping object; the inner wall of the second chamber supports the back plate of the mop head, making the scraping edge of the squeezing member more powerful in scraping the wiping object, and the cleaning effect is better; each time, part of the wastewater scraped off from the wiping object flows over the baffle plate and out of the second chamber, and the other part of the water flows through... The baffle plate prevents the water from flowing back along the direction of the wiping surface, replenishing the moisture on the wiping surface and saving water. By repeatedly moving the mop up and down until all the water in the second chamber is transferred, the water on the wiping surface can be fully squeezed out. The washing and squeezing are completed in just one second chamber, making the wringing operation more convenient. For the second wash, simply open and close the opening and closing mechanism again and repeat the above steps to ensure that the mop is washed with clean water each time. With the mop head inserted into and supported by the second chamber, the squeezing edge still presses against the wiping surface, allowing the mop to be stored in the second chamber, reducing storage space.
