Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cleaning tools, and in particular, it is a cleaning tool with a bucket suitable for cleaning flat mops or foam flat mops. Background Technology

[0002] Most mop buckets for cleaning flat mops or foam flat mops require filling the bucket with water before placing the mop inside. Only the first rinse uses clean water; subsequent rinses use water that is slightly cleaner than the previous rinse. After cleaning, the mop is wrung out in a separate area. Numerous patents exist for mop buckets designed to clean flat mops. The core concept is that the mop bucket has separate wringing and water-holding areas. The water-holding area is used to clean the mop, while the wringing area is used to wring it dry. The water squeezed out of the mop is transferred to the water-holding area via a water transfer device.

[0003] There are numerous patents related to mop buckets used for cleaning flat mops. A representative patent is Chinese utility model patent 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 wringing area is equipped with a squeezing device. The flat mop includes a cleaning material, a mop handle, and a flat mop plate connected to the lower end of the mop handle. In use, the flat mop is rotated to a squeezing state, and then the squeezing device is inserted into the wringing area. Moving it up and down squeezes the cleaning material, and the squeezed water is transferred to the water-holding area via a water transfer device. Because the amount of water squeezed out is greater than the amount of water entering the wringing area from the water-holding area through the slow-release mechanism, after multiple repetitions, almost all the water in the wringing area can be transferred to the water-holding area, and the cleaning material is also squeezed dry during this process. Afterwards, the water in the water-holding area enters the wringing area through the slow-release mechanism. When the flat mop gets dirty, it can then enter the wringing area for wringing and cleaning.

[0004] The applicant of the aforementioned patent has also applied for many similar patents with different protection focuses, but the core of them is that the mop bucket has an independent wringing area and an independent water holding area. The water holding area is used to clean the mop, and the wringing area is used to wring the mop dry. The water squeezed out of the wiping material is transferred to the water holding area through a water transfer device.

[0005] The flat mop cleaning tool has the following drawbacks: Washing and wringing are separated into two areas, requiring two separate operations to complete one cleaning task, making the cleaning process inconvenient. Furthermore, the wastewater washed off the mop each time is drained back into the water collection area, contaminating the water cup. This contaminated water then flows through the slow-release mechanism into the wringing area, meaning the water used for the next mop wash is not clean, affecting the cleanliness of the mop. The slow-release mechanism may have small holes that cannot be closed, meaning that during the cleaning and wringing process, the lower part of the mop may remain soaked in water from the wringing area, resulting in poor wringing and incomplete drying.

[0006] In conclusion, the aforementioned flat mop cleaning tool can be further improved. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a mop cleaning device with a bucket that ensures that clean water is used in every cleaning operation, can complete cleaning and wringing in one area at the same time, and the cleaning and wringing operations are smooth. This cleaning device can also reduce the amount of water used for each cleaning and save water.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a cleaning tool with a bucket mop, including a cleaning bucket and a mop, wherein the mop includes a mop head rotatably connected to the lower end of the mop handle, and the mop head is provided with a wiping agent; characterized in that: the cleaning bucket has a clean water area, a washing area and a wastewater area that are independent of each other, the wastewater area is provided with a support component that supports the outer walls of the washing area and the wastewater area, the opening end of the wastewater area is provided with a handle, the middle part of the clean water area and the washing area are connected by a water supply channel, and a switch for opening and closing the water supply channel is included, the switch is provided with a linkage part that can be triggered by a mop inserted into the washing area to cause displacement; the washing area is provided with a wringer that squeezes the wiping agent, the wringer has a squeezing edge for scraping water off the wiping agent, the wringer... The water plate has an upwardly extending water-retaining wall at the end away from the squeezing edge; the mop head rotates to a squeezing state that is basically parallel to the mop handle. In this state, the mop head and mop handle are inserted into the cleaning area and move up and down. The back of the cleaning area supports the back plate of the mop head. The water-squeezing plate squeezes and scrapes the wiping material. The top surface of the water-squeezing plate forms a water-guiding surface that is inclined downward from the water-retaining wall towards the squeezing edge. The outlet end of the water supply channel is located below the water-guiding surface. As the mop head enters the cleaning area downward, until the lowest point of the mop head is lower than the outlet end of the water supply channel, the water-retaining wall blocks some of the water squeezed off the wiping material and flows back along the water-guiding surface towards the cleaning area. Some of the water squeezed off the wiping material passes over the water-retaining wall and flows into the wastewater area.

[0009] To achieve good support for the clean water tank and the washing tank in a relatively simple way, the above-mentioned support components are support columns, support platforms or support frames located in the sewage area. The support columns, support platforms or support frames can extend upward from the bottom surface of the outer tank, or extend inward from the side wall of the outer tank, or can be components that are independently fixed inside the outer tank, or can be fixed to the clean water tank and the washing tank.

[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the switch has a raised rib or groove for easy operation. Moving the switch downwards closes the water supply channel, and moving it upwards opens the water supply channel. The switch automatically closes when the mop moves downwards, eliminating the need for manual operation and allowing for better linkage with the mop, resulting in a more rational design.

[0011] In a further improvement, the switch is constrained to the inner wall of the cleaning zone by a ribbed guide structure. The guide groove in the ribbed guide structure is located on one of the inner wall of the cleaning zone and the side wall of the switch, while the guide rib in the ribbed guide structure is located on the other. During the downward movement of the switch, the ribbed guide structure applies a force to the switch towards the outlet end of the water supply channel. This ribbed guide structure ensures the switch follows a predetermined trajectory and applies a force towards the outlet end of the water supply channel, enabling the switch to better close the outlet end of the water supply channel and prevent leakage.

[0012] To ensure that the switch does not move further after it has been lowered into position, the inner wall of the cleaning area is provided with a stop that blocks the switch when it is lowered to close the water supply channel.

[0013] To ensure the wringer swings within a suitable angle range, the wringer is designed to swing, and a limiting structure is included to restrict the swing angle range of the wringer. When the mop head enters the cleaning chamber downwards, the wringer is prevented from flipping downwards by the limiting structure; similarly, when the mop head leaves the cleaning chamber upwards, the wringer is prevented from flipping upwards by the limiting structure. A downward-swinging wringer brings the scraper closer to the object being wiped, resulting in better wiping performance. Conversely, an upward-flipping wringer moves the scraper further away from the object, facilitating mop head detachment.

[0014] Alternatively, the aforementioned cleaning tank includes an outer tank, a first inner tank, and a second inner tank. The inner cavity of the outer tank constitutes the wastewater zone, the inner cavity of the first inner tank constitutes the clean water zone, and the inner cavity of the second inner tank constitutes the washing zone. The first and second inner tanks are at least partially installed inside the outer tank. This design better isolates the outer tank from the two inner tanks, preventing wastewater from the outer tank from entering the two inner tanks. Alternatively, a partition can be installed inside the outer tank to divide it into a clean water zone, a washing zone, and a wastewater zone.

[0015] To ensure that even with a small amount of water, the maximum water level in the washing area rises as high as possible after the mop enters, at least part of the inner wall of the second inner tub is inclined, creating an flared shape in the washing area from bottom to top. This allows for the immersion of as many items as possible in the washing area with relatively little water.

[0016] To ensure a more stable installation of the first and second inner tubs on the outer tub, the first and second inner tubs are interlocked. This prevents the two inner tubs from shaking during cleaning.

[0017] Preferably, the first inner tub and the second inner tub are connected together by an upper locking structure and a lower locking structure that are spaced apart vertically.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: The cleaning bucket has independent clean water area, washing area and wastewater area. The wastewater area is equipped with a support component that supports the outer walls of the washing area and the wastewater area, ensuring that the clean water area and the washing area are installed stably relative to the wastewater area and are not prone to relative shaking. A handle is provided at the opening of the wastewater area for easy handling of cleaning tools. The clean water area is filled with clean water. When cleaning, the switch is turned on, and the clean water area supplies water to the washing area through the water supply channel. The mop head is rotated to a squeezing state that is basically parallel to the mop handle. In this state, the mop head and the mop handle are inserted into the washing area. 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 area, squeezing and cleaning the wiping material through the wringer. The first cleaning process involves using a water-blocking wall to prevent a small amount of water from being squeezed off the cleaning surface from flowing back towards the cleaning area. This allows the water in the cleaning area to be properly soaked, saving water initially. Most of the water squeezed off the cleaning surface flows over the water-blocking wall into the wastewater area. By repeatedly moving the mop up and down until the water in the cleaning area is mostly removed, the cleaning surface can be thoroughly dried. Cleaning and drying are completed in just one cleaning area, making the wringing process more convenient. For the second cleaning, simply turn the switch back on, and the clean water area will supply water to the cleaning area again through the water supply channel. Repeat the above steps to complete the second cleaning, ensuring that the mop is clean water every time it is cleaned. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] like Figures 1-8 The figure shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0032] A cleaning tool with a bucket mop includes a cleaning bucket 1 and a mop. The mop includes a mop head 3 rotatably connected to the lower end of the mop handle 2. The mop head 3 is provided with a wiping material 4, which can be a fiber cloth or foam.

[0033] The cleaning tank 1 has three independent areas: a clean water area 1a, a washing area 1b, and a wastewater area 1c. The wastewater area 1c is equipped with a support component 7 that supports the outer walls of the washing area 1b and the wastewater area 1c. The support component 7 is a support column, support platform, or support frame located in the wastewater area 1c. The opening of the wastewater area 1c is equipped with a handle 111.

[0034] The middle sections of the purification zone 1a and the cleaning zone 1b are connected by a water supply channel D. The system also includes a switch 6 for opening and closing the water supply channel. The switch 6 has a protruding linkage part 61 that can be triggered downwards by a mop head 3 inserted into the cleaning zone 1b. The switch 6 is elongated, with a raised rib 62 or groove at its upper end extending above the cleaning zone 1b for human operation. Moving the switch 6 downwards closes the water supply channel D, while moving it upwards opens the water supply channel D. The switch 6 is constrained to the inner wall of the cleaning zone 1b by a ribbed guide structure 8. A guide groove 81 in the ribbed guide structure 8 is located on one of the inner wall of the cleaning zone 1b and the side wall of the switch 6, and a guide rib 82 in the ribbed guide structure 8 is located on the other of the inner wall of the cleaning zone 1b and the side wall of the switch 6. During the downward movement of the switch 6, the ribbed guide structure 8 applies a force to the switch 6 towards the water outlet end of the water supply channel D. The inner wall of the cleaning area 1b is provided with a stop part 131 that blocks the switch 6 when it is moved down to close the water supply channel D.

[0035] The cleaning area 1b is provided with a wringer 5 that squeezes the wiping material 4. The wringer 5 is oscillating and has a scraping edge 51 for scraping water from the wiping material 4. The wringer 5 has an upwardly extending water-blocking wall 52 at the end away from the scraping edge 51. It also includes a limiting structure 9 that limits the oscillation angle range of the wringer 5. When the mop head 3 enters the cleaning area 1b downward, the wringer 5 is blocked by the limiting structure 9 and cannot be flipped downward. When the mop head 3 leaves the cleaning area 1b upward, the wringer 5 is blocked by the limiting structure 9 and cannot be flipped upward.

[0036] The mop head 3 is rotated to a squeezeable state that is basically parallel to the mop handle 2. In this state, the mop head 3 and the mop handle 2 are inserted into the cleaning zone 1b and move up and down. The back of the cleaning zone 1b supports the back plate 31 of the mop head 3. The wiping plate 5 squeezes and scrapes the wiping material 4. As the mop head 3 moves downward into the cleaning zone 1b, the top surface of the wiping plate 5 forms a water guide surface 53 that is inclined downward from the water-blocking wall 52 towards the scraping edge 51. The outlet end D1 of the water supply channel D is located below the water guide surface 53. As the mop head 3 moves downward into the cleaning zone 1b until the lowest point of the mop head 3 is lower than the outlet end D1 of the water supply channel D, the water-blocking wall 52 blocks some of the water squeezed off the wiping material 4 and flows back along the water guide surface 53 towards the cleaning zone 1b. Some of the water squeezed off the wiping material 4 passes over the water-blocking wall 52 and flows into the sewage zone 1c.

[0037] In this embodiment, the cleaning tub 1 includes an outer tub 11, a first inner tub 12, and a second inner tub 13. The inner cavity of the outer tub 11 forms the wastewater zone 1c, the inner cavity of the first inner tub 12 forms the clean water zone 1a, and the inner cavity of the second inner tub 13 forms the cleaning zone 1b. The first inner tub 12 and the second inner tub 13 are at least partially installed inside the outer tub 11. One inner wall 132 of the second inner tub 13 is at least partially inclined, causing the cleaning zone 1b to flare out from bottom to top. The first inner tub 12 and the second inner tub 13 are connected together by an upper locking structure 10a and a lower locking structure 10b that are spaced apart vertically.

[0038] The cleaning bucket 1 has three independent zones: a clean water zone 1a, a washing zone 1b, and a wastewater zone 1c. The wastewater zone 1c is equipped with a support component 7 that supports the outer walls of the washing zone 1b and the wastewater zone 1c, ensuring the clean water zone 1a and the washing zone 1b are stably installed relative to the wastewater zone 1c and do not easily wobble. A handle 111 is provided at the opening of the wastewater zone 1c for easy carrying of cleaning tools. The clean water zone 1a is filled with clean water. During cleaning, the switch 6 is turned on, and the clean water zone 1a supplies water to the washing zone 1b via the water supply channel D. The mop head 3 rotates to a squeezeable state that is basically parallel to the mop handle 2. In this state, the mop head 3 and the mop handle 2 are inserted into the washing zone 1b. The mop head 3 triggers the linkage part 61 on the switch 6, and the switch 6 closes the water supply channel D. The mop head 3 moves up and down within the washing zone 1a, and the scraping edge 51 of the wringer 5 cleans the wiping material. 4. Squeeze and clean. The water-blocking wall 52 blocks a small portion of the water squeezed off the wiping material 4 and directs it back along the water guide surface 53 towards the cleaning area 1b, wetting the wiping material 4. In the initial state, the water in the cleaning area 1b does not need to fully wet the wiping material 4, thus saving water. Most of the water squeezed off the wiping material 4 flows over the water-blocking wall 52 and into the sewage area 1c. Move the mop up and down repeatedly until the water in the cleaning area 1b is basically transferred, and the water on the wiping material 4 can be fully squeezed dry. Cleaning and squeezing are completed in only one cleaning area 1b, making the water-squeezing operation more convenient. For the second cleaning, simply turn on the switch 6 again, and the clean water area 1a supplies water to the cleaning area 1b again through the water supply channel, and repeat the above operation to complete the second cleaning, ensuring that the mop is clean water every time it is cleaned.
