Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cleaning tools, especially a novel squeeze flat mop 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 is clean water, and the next time is the second clean water after cleaning. 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, it 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. In addition, the slow-release mechanism may be a small hole that cannot be closed. In this way, the lower end of the wiping material may be always soaked in the water in the squeezing water area during the operation process of cleaning and squeezing the wiping material, which reduces the squeezing effect of the wiping material and cannot fully squeeze the wiping material.

[0005] In summary, the existing mop cleaning barrel for cleaning flat mop or cotton mop can be further improved. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0006] The utility model solves the technical problem of the prior art and provides a novel squeeze flat mop cleaning tool with a new operation mode and easier cleaning operation.

[0007] The utility model discloses a novel extrusion flat plate mop cleaning tool which solves the above technical problems and is characterized in that: when cleaning, the flat plate mop head is rotated to an extrusion state in a first direction, the flat plate mop head is inserted into the extrusion device, and the flat plate mop head and the extrusion device are relatively moved to extrude part of the wiping material; the extrusion area and the water storage area are connected through a water supply channel, the height of the extrusion area is L1, the width of the water supply channel is L2, L1 is greater than L2, the water supply channel is controlled by an opening and closing component, and the liquid supplied from the water storage area to the extrusion area is discharged to the sewage area through the relative movement between the flat plate mop head and the extrusion device; until most of the water in the extrusion area is transferred to the sewage area, when wringing, the flat plate mop head is rotated to the extrusion state in the first direction, the flat plate mop head is inserted into the extrusion device, and the flat plate mop head and the extrusion device are relatively moved to wring the wiping material, and most of the water on the wiping material is transferred to the sewage area.

[0008] Further improvement, the extrusion device is an extrusion plate, the upper part of the extrusion plate forms a drainage channel for draining part of the water scraped from the wiping material to the sewage area and a reflux channel for returning part of the water to the extrusion area, and the reflux channel can change position with the up-down movement of the flat plate mop head. Most of the water scraped from the wiping material is drained to the outer barrel through the drainage channel, and a small amount of water is returned to the extrusion area through the reflux channel to supplement the soaking of the wiping material in the extrusion area, so that the wiping material can be soaked and cleaned multiple times with less water; and the reflux channel can change position, and when the flat plate mop head is moved upward.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the reflux channel can be switched between the reflux state and the non-reflux state with the up-down movement of the flat plate mop head. Generally, the flat plate mop head is moved downward, the reflux channel is switched to the water return state to supplement the soaking of the wiping material, and the wiping material is dried and supplemented with water at the same time; and when the flat plate mop head is moved upward, the reflux channel is switched to the closed non-water return position, and only drainage is performed.

[0010] To achieve a reasonable and simple structure for forming drainage and return channels, preferably, the aforementioned wringer has a scraping edge for scraping water from the wiping material. At the end of the wringer away from the scraping edge, there is an upward-extending baffle wall. The baffle wall and the wringer together form the return channel, with the upper end of the return channel open and the end facing the wiping material inserted into the wringer area also open. The area above the baffle wall forms the drainage channel. Only the baffle is needed to form the drainage and return channels on the wringer, requiring no additional components, resulting in a simple structure that is easy to manufacture and assemble.

[0011] As an improvement, the aforementioned wringer is provided with pivots on both the front and rear sides. The wringer is pivotally connected to the wringing area via these pivots and can swing. The scraping edge and the water-blocking wall are located on the left and right sides of the pivots. The swinging of the wringer switches the return channel. This structure allows the scraping edge of the wringer to swing up and down. When the scraping 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 wringing. When the scraping 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.

[0012] Preferably, as the flat mop head moves downward into the wringing area, the wringing plate swings until the scraping edge is below the pivot, thus allowing water to return through the return channel. As the flat mop head moves upward away from the wringing area, the wringing plate swings until the scraping edge is above the pivot, and the return channel is in the closed position.

[0013] To fully transfer water from the squeezing zone to the wastewater zone, the top surface of the squeezing plate has a further recessed transition water storage cavity. Water in the transition water storage cavity can flow into the wastewater zone. Specifically, the upward swinging squeezing plate can pour the water from the transition water storage cavity into the wastewater zone. After several washes, the amount of water on the wiped item is small, and the energy of the squeezed water is insufficient to be directly discharged into the wastewater zone. In this case, the small amount of squeezed water will be stored in the transition water storage cavity. The water in the transition water storage cavity can be discharged into the wastewater zone by swinging, or it can be discharged into the wastewater zone through a drain hole provided at the bottom of the transition water storage cavity.

[0014] To ensure the wringer swings within a suitable angle range, a limiting structure is included to restrict the swing angle range of the wringer. As the flat mop head moves downwards into the wringing area, the wringer is prevented from flipping downwards by the limiting structure. If the forward flip angle is too large, water in the transition water storage chamber may be drained into the wringing area. Therefore, the design aims to ensure that water in the transition water storage chamber is not drained into the wringing area, but rather drained into the wastewater area as much as possible.

[0015] As an improvement, the aforementioned switch component is elongated and positioned on the inner wall of the wringing area. The upper end of the switch component extends above the wringing area for user operation. A groove or rib is provided above the upper end of the switch component for user operation. Lowering the switch component closes the water supply channel, while raising it opens the water supply channel. The upper end of the switch component exposes the washing tub, facilitating user operation by lifting the switch. Since the flat mop head also moves up and down during washing, lowering the switch component to close the water supply channel better coordinates with the mop head. Of course, the switch component can also take other forms, such as a ball valve or other on / off switch structures.

[0016] In a further improvement, the aforementioned switch component is constrained to the inner wall of the squeezing zone by a ribbed guide structure. The guide groove in the ribbed guide structure is located on one of the inner wall of the squeezing zone and the side wall of the switch component, while the guide rib in the ribbed guide structure is located on the other of the inner wall of the squeezing zone and the side wall of the switch component. The ribbed guide structure allows the switch to run along a predetermined trajectory and applies a force to the switch component in a direction close to the outlet end of the water supply channel, enabling the switch component to better close the outlet end of the water supply channel and prevent leakage.

[0017] To further ensure that the switch component keeps the outlet end of the water supply channel closed, as an improvement, the aforementioned squeezing area is provided with an upwardly protruding boss that guides the lower end of the switch component. The boss applies a force to the lower end of the switch component in a direction close to the outlet end of the water supply channel.

[0018] To guide the lower end of the switching component, the top surface of the aforementioned boss is sloped. This makes it easier for the lower end of the switching component to enter the rear of the boss, thus constraining the lower end of the switching component.

[0019] To achieve automatic, quantitative water supply, the top of the aforementioned water-holding area is sealed. Once the water in the squeezing area has submerged the outlet of the water supply channel, the water-holding area stops supplying water to the squeezing area due to atmospheric pressure, ensuring that the amount of water supplied each time is constant.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: the squeezing area and the water holding area are connected by a water supply channel, which is controlled by a switch component. When the switch component is open, the water holding area supplies water to the squeezing area through the water supply channel. When the switch component is closed, the water holding area stops supplying water to the water supply channel, thus realizing a quantitative water supply from the water holding area to the squeezing area. After the water supply is completed, the switch component is closed, and the water supplied from the water holding area to the squeezing area is discharged to the sewage area by the relative movement between the flat mop head and the squeezing device. Until most of the water in the squeezing area has been transferred to the sewage area, when squeezing dry, the flat mop head rotates in the first direction to the squeezing state, the flat mop head is inserted into the squeezing device, and the relative movement between the flat mop head and the squeezing device squeezes the wiped object dry. Most of the water on the wiped object is transferred to the sewage area until all the water in the squeezing area is transferred by the water transfer channel, and then squeezing begins. Cleaning and squeezing are both completed in the squeezing area. When using it again, you only need to turn on the switch component to supply water, so the water supplied each time is clean water.

[0033] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] like Figures 1-12 The figure shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0035] A novel squeezing flat mop cleaning tool includes a mop bucket 1 and a flat mop. The flat mop includes a mop handle 2 and a flat mop head 3 movably connected to the mop handle 2. The flat mop head 3 is provided with a wiping agent 4. The mop bucket 1 has an independent squeezing area 1a, an independent water holding area 1b, and an independent wastewater area 1c. The mop bucket 1 is equipped with a squeezing device.

[0036] During cleaning, the flat mop head 3 rotates in the first direction to a wringing state, inserts into the squeezing device, and moves relative to the squeezing device to wring out some of the wiped material 4. The wringing area 1a and the water-holding area 1b are connected by a water supply channel S, which is controlled by a switch 6. The liquid supplied from the water-holding area 1b to the wringing area 1a is discharged into the wastewater area 1c by the relative movement between the flat mop head 3 and the squeezing device. When most of the water in the wringing area 1a has been transferred to the wastewater area 1c, the flat mop head 3 rotates in the first direction to a wringing state, inserts into the squeezing device, and moves relative to the squeezing device to wring out the wiped material 4. Most of the water on the wiped material 4 is transferred to the wastewater area 1c.

[0037] The squeezing device is a squeezing plate 5. Above the squeezing plate 5, there is a drainage channel D1 that discharges a portion of the water squeezed off the wiping material 4 into the sewage area 1c, and a return channel D2 that returns a portion of the water to the squeezing area 1a. The return channel D2 can change position as the flat mop head 3 moves up and down. The return channel D2 can switch between a return state and a non-return state as the flat mop head 3 moves up and down.

[0038] The wringer 5 has a scraping edge 51 for scraping water from the wiping material 4. A water-retaining wall 52 extends upwards from the scraping edge 51 on one end of the wringer 5. The water-retaining wall 52 and the wringer 5 together form a return channel D2. The upper end of the return channel D2 is open, and the end of the return channel D2 facing the wiping material 4 inserted into the wringing area 1a is also open. The area above the water-retaining wall 52 forms the drainage channel D1. Pivots 53 are provided on the front and rear sides of the wringer 5. The wringer 5 is pivotally connected to the wringing area 1a via the pivots 53 and can swing. The scraping edge 51 and the water-retaining wall 52 are located on the left and right sides of the pivots 53. The swinging of the wringer 5 switches the return channel D2.

[0039] As the flat mop head 3 moves downward into the wringing area 1a, the wringing plate 5 swings until the scraping edge is below the pivot 53. As the flat mop head 3 moves upward away from the wringing area 1a, the wringing plate 5 swings until the scraping edge 51 is above the pivot 53.

[0040] The top surface of the wringer 5 has a further recessed transition water storage cavity 54, through which water can flow into the wastewater zone 1c. Specifically, the upward swinging wringer 5 can pour the water from the transition water storage cavity 54 into the wastewater zone 1c. It also includes a limiting structure 7 that restricts the swing angle range of the wringer 5. During the downward movement of the flat mop head 3 into the wringer zone 1a, the wringer 5 is prevented from flipping downwards by the limiting structure 7.

[0041] The switch component 6 is elongated and disposed on the inner wall of the squeezing area 1a. The upper end 61 of the switch component 6 extends above the squeezing area 1a for operation. A groove or rib is provided above the upper end 61 of the switch component 6 for operation. The switch component 6 moves downward to close the water supply channel S, and moves upward to open the water supply channel S. The switch component 6 is constrained to the inner wall of the squeezing area 1a by a ribbed guide structure 8. The guide groove 81 in the ribbed guide structure 8 is located on one of the inner wall of the squeezing area 1a and the side wall of the switch component 6, and the guide rib 82 in the ribbed guide structure 8 is located on the other of the inner wall of the squeezing area 1a and the side wall of the switch component 6.

[0042] The squeezing area 1a is provided with an upwardly protruding boss 9 that guides the lower end of the switch component 6. The boss 9 applies a force to the lower end of the switch component 6 in a direction close to the outlet S1 of the water supply channel S. The top surface 91 of the boss 9 is an inclined surface.

[0043] The squeezing area 1a and the water-holding area 1b are connected by a water supply channel S, which is controlled by a switch 6. When the switch 6 is open, the water-holding area 1b supplies water to the squeezing area through the water supply channel S. When the switch 6 is closed, the water-holding area 1b stops supplying water to the water supply channel S, thus achieving a quantitative water supply from the water-holding area 1b to the squeezing area 1a. After the water supply is completed, the switch 6 is closed, and the water supplied from the water-holding area 1b to the squeezing area is discharged into the wastewater area by the relative movement between the flat mop head 3 and the squeezing device. This process continues until most of the water in the squeezing area 1a is discharged. All water is transferred to the sewage area 1c. When squeezing, the flat mop head 3 rotates in the first direction to the state where water can be squeezed. The flat mop head 3 is inserted into the squeezing device. The flat mop head 3 moves relative to the squeezing device to squeeze the wiped item 4 dry. Most of the water on the wiped item 4 is transferred to the sewage area 1c until the water in the squeezing area 1a is completely transferred by the drainage channel D1. Then the squeezing begins. Cleaning and squeezing are both completed in the squeezing area 1a. When using it again, you only need to turn on the switch component 6 to supply water. Therefore, the water supplied each time is clean water.
