Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cleaning tools, especially a bucket mop cleaning device suitable for cleaning flat mop or foamed cotton flat mop. BACKGROUND

[0002] There are many patents of mop buckets for cleaning flat mop, 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 the bucket body of the wringing area is provided with a squeezing device; the flat mop includes a wiping object, 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 state where it can be squeezed, and then inserted into the squeezing device in the wringing area, and moved up and down to squeeze the wiping object through the squeezing device, and the water squeezed out of the wiping object is transferred to the water holding area through a water transfer device. Since the amount of water squeezed out of the wiping object 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 wringing area can be basically completely transferred to the water holding area after multiple reciprocations, and the wiping object is also squeezed 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 squeezing and cleaning after the wiping object 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 squeeze dry the mop, and the water squeezed out of the wiping object is transferred to the water holding area through a water transfer device.

[0004] This flat mop cleaning tool has the following defects: cleaning and squeezing 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 object each time is discharged back to the water holding area, which pollutes the water cup in the water holding area, and 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 next time is not clean water, which affects the cleaning of the wiping object; the slow-release mechanism may be a small hole that cannot be closed, so the lower end of the wiping object may be always soaked in the water in the wringing area during the operation of cleaning and squeezing the wiping object, which makes the squeezing effect of the wiping object worse and cannot be fully squeezed dry.

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

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a mop cleaning device with a bucket, which can ensure that clean water is used for each cleaning operation, can complete cleaning and wringing at the same time in one area, and can operate smoothly.

[0007] The utility model adopts the technical scheme that a mop cleaning device with a bucket is provided, which comprises a cleaning bucket and a mop, the mop comprises a mop head rotatably connected to the lower end of a mop rod, 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, and the sewage area is provided with a support component which supports the outer wall of the washing area and the sewage area, the washing area is provided with a water squeezing component which squeezes the wiping material, the clean water area and the middle part of the washing area are connected through a water supply channel, the width of the mop head is L1, the maximum width of the water supply channel is L2, L1 is greater than L2, the water supply channel is provided with a switch, the switch is provided with a linkage part which can be inserted into the washing area and can trigger the downward movement of the mop, the lower end of the wiping material is sleeved or buckled on the back plate of the mop head, the bottom surface of the wiping material is bonded to the back plate of the mop head, the mop head is rotated to a squeezable state in which the mop head and the mop rod are substantially parallel, the mop head and the mop rod are inserted into the washing area and move up and down, and the wiping material is squeezed and scraped by the water squeezing component, and the washing area is further provided with a drainage channel which drains the water squeezed and scraped from the wiping material to the sewage area and a reflux channel which returns the water to the washing area.

[0008] In order to support the clean water bucket and the washing bucket in a simple way, the support component is a support column, a support table or a support frame arranged in the sewage area, which can extend upward from the inner bottom surface of the outer bucket, extend inward from the side wall of the outer bucket, be a component fixed independently in the outer bucket or be fixed on the clean water bucket and the washing bucket.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the water squeezing component is plate-shaped and can swing, the front part of the water squeezing component forms a scraper part with a thickness decreasing from back to front, an upward extending baffle is arranged at least at the back of the top surface of the water squeezing component, the upper part of the baffle forms the drainage channel, and the front face of the baffle and the top surface of the flow guide plate enclose the reflux channel. The scraper part with a thickness decreasing from back to front is more conducive to removing dirt on the wiping material, the baffle can block the water flow and make it return to the washing area, the height of the baffle is limited, part of the water squeezed and scraped from the wiping material can pass over the baffle, and the drainage channel is formed.

[0010] To ensure the squeezing member swings within a proper angle range, a limiting structure is further arranged to limit the swinging angle range of the squeezing member, and during the process of the mop head entering the cleaning zone, the squeezing member is blocked by the limiting structure and cannot be flipped downward, and during the process of the mop head leaving the cleaning zone, the squeezing member is blocked by the limiting structure and cannot be flipped upward. The downward swinging of the squeezing member can make the scraper part closer to the wiping material, and the water scraping effect is better, and conversely, the upward flipping of the squeezing member can make the scraper part farther away from the wiping material, and is beneficial to the separation of the mop head.

[0011] Alternatively, the cleaning bucket comprises an outer bucket, a first inner bucket and a second inner bucket, the inner cavity of the outer bucket constitutes the sewage zone, the inner cavity of the first inner bucket constitutes the clean water zone, and the inner cavity of the second inner bucket constitutes the cleaning zone, and the first inner bucket and the second inner bucket are at least partially installed in the outer bucket. The outer bucket and the two inner buckets are better isolated from each other, and the sewage in the outer bucket cannot enter the two inner buckets. Of course, a partition plate can be arranged in the outer bucket to separate it into the clean water zone, the cleaning zone and the sewage zone.

[0012] To ensure that a smaller amount of water can also meet the requirement that the highest water level in the mop after entering the cleaning zone is as high as possible, at least a part of an inner wall of the second inner bucket is arranged to be inclined, so that the cleaning zone is flared from bottom to top. In this way, the wiping material can be soaked with relatively less water as much as possible.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the upper end of the switch is provided with a convex rib or a concave groove for operation by a person, which is convenient for operation by a person, the switch is lowered to close the water supply channel, and the switch is raised to open the water supply channel. The switch is automatically closed by the lowering of the mop, and does not need to be manually closed additionally, and is better linked with the mop, and the design is more reasonable.

[0014] Further improvement, the switch is constrained on the inner wall of the cleaning zone by a rib-and-groove guide structure, a guide groove in the rib-and-groove guide structure is arranged on one of the inner wall of the cleaning zone and the side wall of the switch, and a guide rib in the rib-and-groove guide structure is arranged on the other one of the inner wall of the cleaning zone and the side wall of the switch; during the lowering of the switch, the rib-and-groove guide structure exerts a force on the switch in a direction close to the water outlet end of the water supply channel. The rib-and-groove guide structure makes the switch along a predetermined track, and exerts a force on the switch in a direction close to the water outlet end of the water supply channel, which can make the switch better close the outlet end of the water supply channel, and avoid water leakage.

[0015] To ensure that the switch does not move additionally after being lowered to a position, a stop portion is arranged on the inner wall of the cleaning zone to block the lowering of the switch to close the water supply channel.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: The cleaning bucket has independent clean water zone, washing zone, and wastewater zone. The wastewater zone is equipped with a support component that supports the outer walls of the washing zone and the wastewater zone, ensuring that the washing zone and the wastewater zone are installed stably relative to the wastewater zone and do not easily shake. The clean water zone is filled with clean water. During washing, when the switch is turned on, the clean water zone supplies water to the washing zone through the water supply channel. The mop head rotates to a squeezeable state that is basically parallel to the mop handle. In this state, the mop head and the mop handle are inserted into the washing zone. The mop head triggers the linkage on the switch, the switch closes the water supply channel, and the mop head moves up and down in the washing zone, squeezing out water through the wringing component. The cleaning process involves squeezing and scraping the cleaning material. Most of the wastewater squeezed off the material flows into the wastewater area through the drainage channel, while a small portion flows back into the cleaning area through the return channel to soak the cleaning material. This means that initially, the water in the cleaning area does not need to completely soak the cleaning material, thus saving water. The bottom of the cleaning material is fitted or fastened to the back of the mop head, and the bottom surface of the cleaning material is adhered to the back of the mop head. This way, when the mop head is moved down, the bottom of the cleaning material, because it is fitted or fastened to the back of the mop head, will not warp under the squeezing action of the wringer, ensuring smooth and unobstructed cleaning operations. Move the mop up and down repeatedly until the water in the cleaning area is mostly removed by the drain channel. This will allow you to thoroughly wring out the water from the items being wiped. The cleaning and wringing process can be completed in just one cleaning area, making the wringing operation more convenient. For the second cleaning, simply turn on the switch again, and the clean water area will supply water to the cleaning area through the water supply channel. Repeat the above steps to complete the second cleaning, ensuring that the mop is cleaned with clean water each time. Attached Figure Description
