TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cleaning tools, especially a mop bucket matched with a flat mop for cleaning the flat mop or foamed cotton flat mop. BACKGROUND
[0002] There are many patents of mop buckets for cleaning flat mops, 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 a wringing device is arranged on the bucket body of the wringing area; 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 wringing state, and then inserted into the wringing device in the wringing area, and moved up and down to wring the wiping object through the wringing 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 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, and the wiping object is also wrung 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 wringing 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 for cleaning the mop, and the wringing area is used for wringing the mop, and the water squeezed out of the wiping object is transferred to the water holding area through a water transfer device.
[0004] The foregoing flat mop cleaning tool has the following defects: cleaning and wringing are divided into two areas, and two operations in different areas are required to complete one cleaning work, which is inconvenient for cleaning operation. In addition, the sewage cleaned from the wiping object each time is discharged back to the water holding area, which pollutes the water cup of the water holding area, and the polluted 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.
[0005] In summary, the foregoing flat mop cleaning tool can be further improved. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
[0006] The utility model solves the technical problem in the prior art, and provides a mop bucket matched with a flat mop for cleaning and wringing in one cavity, which can ensure that clean water is used to clean the mop each time.
[0007] The utility model discloses a mop bucket matched with flat mop, 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 comprises an outer bucket, a clean water bucket and a cleaning bucket; a handle is rotatably connected to the outer bucket; the clean water bucket and the cleaning bucket are at least partially installed in the outer bucket; the middle parts of the clean water bucket and the cleaning bucket are communicated through a water supply channel; the water supply channel is controlled by an opening and closing switch; the cleaning bucket is provided with a water scraping component for scraping water from the wiping material; the water scraping component can divert the water squeezed from the wiping material, one part of which is transferred to the outer bucket, and the other part of which is returned to the wiping material or the cleaning bucket; during cleaning, the mop head is rotated to a cleaning position; the water in the clean water bucket is supplied to the cleaning bucket and then discharged to the outer bucket through the relative movement between the mop head and the water scraping component until most of the water in the cleaning bucket is transferred to the outer bucket; during wringing, the mop head is rotated to a wringing position; the mop head is inserted into the cleaning bucket; the flat mop head and the water scraping component are relatively moved to wring the wiping material; most of the water on the wiping material is transferred to the outer bucket; the water transfer amount satisfies the following condition: the water discharge amount Q1 discharged to the outer bucket is greater than the water return amount Q2 returned to the wiping material.
[0008] To realize the diversion, the water scraping component has an upwardly extending baffle; the baffle blocks part of the water squeezed from the wiping material to return to the wiping material or the cleaning bucket; the other part of the water squeezed from the wiping material passes through the baffle and enters the outer bucket. The diversion is realized only by blocking the water squeezed from the wiping material by the baffle on the water scraping component, which is simple in structure.
[0009] As an improvement, the water scraping component has an inwardly recessed water storage cavity; the water storage cavity can receive part of the water squeezed from the wiping material; the water scraping component can swing; during the upward movement of the mop head away from the cleaning area, the mop head drives the water scraping component to flip in the direction away from the mop head to discharge the water in the water storage cavity to the outer bucket. After cleaning several times, the amount of water on the wiping material is small, and the energy of the squeezed water is not enough to be directly discharged to the outer bucket; therefore, the small amount of squeezed water is stored in the water storage cavity; the water in the water storage cavity can be discharged to the outer bucket through swinging or through a water discharge hole arranged at the bottom of the water storage cavity and arranged to discharge to the outer bucket.
[0010] To ensure that the water scraping component swings within a proper angle range, a limiting structure is further arranged to limit the swing angle of the water scraping component; during the downward movement of the mop head into the cleaning bucket, the water scraping component is blocked by the limiting structure and cannot be flipped downward. If the flipping angle is too large, the water in the water storage cavity is easily discharged to the cleaning bucket; therefore, the water in the water storage cavity is as much as possible not discharged to the cleaning bucket, and as much as possible is discharged to the outer bucket.
[0011] In order to avoid the transition shaking of the cleaning bucket when the mop head is moved up and down for cleaning, as an improvement, the outer wall of the cleaning bucket is provided with a protruding blocking part which abuts against the corresponding inner wall of the outer bucket. The cleaning bucket abuts against the outer bucket, and the relative position of the two is more stable.
[0012] In order to facilitate assembly, the clean water bucket and the cleaning bucket are fixed on the connecting part by screws or buckles, and the connecting part is installed in the outer bucket. During assembly, the clean water bucket and the cleaning bucket can be fixed on the connecting part in advance, and then the connecting part is installed in the outer bucket. Since the clean water bucket and the cleaning bucket are assembled externally, the mutual connection of the water supply channels is ensured.
[0013] In order to ensure that the clean water bucket and the cleaning bucket do not shake relative to the outer bucket during cleaning operation, the side wall or the bottom of the clean water bucket is provided with a first plug-in part, and the first plug-in part is provided with a first through hole which connects the outside and the inner cavity thereof. The side wall of the cleaning bucket is provided with a second plug-in part, and the second plug-in part is provided with a second through hole which connects the outside and the inner cavity thereof. The second plug-in part is plugged into the first through hole, and the second through hole constitutes the water supply channel, or the first plug-in part is plugged into the second through hole, and the first through hole constitutes the water supply channel. The plug-in parts are plugged into each other to form the water supply channel, and the water supply channel has a certain length.
[0014] In order to realize automatic quantitative water supply, the top end of the clean water bucket is closed. When the water in the cleaning bucket reaches the water outlet end of the water supply channel, the clean water bucket is no longer supplied with water under the action of atmospheric pressure due to the closed top end of the clean water bucket. Therefore, the water volume of each water supply is constant.
[0015] In order to increase the strength of the mouth end of the wringing bucket and prevent deformation, the mouth end of the cleaning bucket is provided with an outwardly turned reinforcing flange, and the top of the reinforcing flange is provided with a water blocking rib which extends upward. The water blocking rib is arranged to avoid a large amount of water flowing out from between the wringing plate and the mouth end of the wringing bucket, so that the water in the wringing bucket needs to be moved multiple times to completely transfer the mop head.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the utility model lie in that: during cleaning, the switch is opened, the clean water bucket supplies water to the cleaning bucket through the water supply channel, the switch is closed after the water supply is completed, the mop head enters the cleaning bucket and moves downward, the wiping object is squeezed and cleaned by the water scraping part, the sewage squeezed and scraped from the wiping object each time is transferred to the outer bucket through part of the water scraping part, and the other part of the water is returned to the wiping object or the cleaning bucket through the water scraping part, the mop is moved up and down multiple times until the water in the cleaning bucket is completely transferred, the wiping object can be fully wrung out, the cleaning and wringing are completed in one cleaning bucket, and the wringing operation is more convenient; the water transfer amount meets the following conditions: the drainage amount Q1 discharged to the outer bucket is greater than the return water amount Q2 returned to the wiping object, so that the cleaning time is not too long; during the second cleaning, the switch is opened again, and the above steps are repeated, so that the mop is cleaned with clean water each time.
