Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cleaning tools, especially a cleaning appliance 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 wringing operation is carried out in another area. There are many patents of mop barrels for cleaning flat mop, and the core is that the mop barrel has independent wringing area and independent water holding area. The water holding area is used for cleaning the mop, and the wringing area is used for wringing the mop. The water squeezed out by the wiping object is transferred to the water holding area through the water transfer device.

[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with patent number CN201821203889.3 (publication number CN209863678U) discloses a flat mop tool, which comprises a mop barrel and a flat mop. The mop barrel has independent wringing area and independent water holding area. The barrel body of the wringing area is provided with a squeezing device. The flat mop comprises a wiping object, 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 wringing area. The wiping object is squeezed by the squeezing device through up and down movement. The water squeezed out by the wiping object is transferred to the water holding area through the water transfer device. Because the amount of water squeezed out by 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. The wiping object is also wrung out during this process. 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 object is dirty, it can enter the wringing area for wringing and cleaning.

[0004] This flat mop cleaning tool has the following defects: each cleaning operation is full of water, the water consumption is large, and the water needs to be refilled from the faucet after the operation is completed. It cannot automatically supply water to the cleaning area, and cleaning and wringing are divided into two areas. Two operations in different areas are needed to complete one cleaning work, which is not convenient for cleaning operation. In addition, the sewage washed off from the wiping object each time is discharged back to the water holding area, which pollutes the water cup in the water holding area. 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 the next time is not clean water, which affects the cleaning of the wiping object.

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

[0006] The utility model provides a cleaning appliance with a flat mop, which can clean and wring the mop simultaneously in one area, and ensures that clean water is used for each cleaning operation.

[0007] The utility model discloses a cleaning appliance with a flat mop, which can clean and wring the mop simultaneously in one area, and ensures that clean water is used for each cleaning operation.

[0008] To transfer the liquid in the clean water bucket from the cleaning bucket to the outer bucket more quickly, the water inlet end of the water supply channel is located at the bottom of the clean water bucket or the lower part of the surrounding body, the water squeezing plate is located above the water supply channel, and a water drainage channel is formed above the water squeezing plate to drain part of the water squeezed and scraped from the mop to the outer bucket.

[0009] Further improvement, the upper part of the water squeezing plate forms a water return channel to return part of the water squeezed and scraped from the mop to the cleaning bucket. During cleaning, the mop head moves up and down in the cleaning bucket, and the mop is squeezed and scraped for cleaning by the water squeezing plate. Part of the sewage squeezed and scraped from the mop each time flows into the outer bucket through the water drainage channel, and part of the sewage returns to the cleaning bucket through the water return channel, which supplements the soaking of the mop in the cleaning bucket. In the initial state, the water in the cleaning bucket does not need to completely soak the mop, which can save water or use less water to complete multiple soakings of the mop.

[0010] To make the timing of backflow reasonable, the backflow channel switches between backflow and non-backflow states as the mop head moves up and down. When the mop head moves down, the water is squeezed out, and at this time, the backflow replenishes the mop. When the mop head moves up, the backflow stops, so the mop that does not need to be replenished is not replenished.

[0011] To form the backflow channel with a reasonable and simple structure, as a preferred embodiment, the squeezing plate has a water-squeezing edge for scraping the mop, and an upwardly extending water-blocking wall is provided at one end of the squeezing plate away from the water-squeezing edge. The water-blocking wall and the squeezing plate enclose the backflow channel, the upper end of the backflow channel is open, and the end of the backflow channel facing the mop inserted into the cleaning bucket is open. The area above the water-blocking wall forms the water-draining channel. The water-draining channel and the backflow channel are formed on the squeezing plate only by the water-blocking wall, without additional components, so the structure is simple, and the mop is easy to manufacture and assemble.

[0012] As an improvement, the front and back sides of the squeezing plate are provided with pivots, and the squeezing plate is pivotally connected to the cleaning bucket to swing. This structure enables the water-squeezing edge of the squeezing plate to swing up and down. When the water-squeezing edge swings down to a horizontal position, the water-squeezing edge is closer to the mop, the squeezing force on the mop is greater, and the water is easier to squeeze out. When the water-squeezing edge swings up, the water-squeezing edge is relatively farther away from the mop, and the mop head is easier to separate from the squeezing opening. The water-squeezing edge and the water-blocking wall are located on the left and right sides of the pivot. During the process of the mop head entering the cleaning bucket, the squeezing plate swings so that the water-squeezing edge is below the pivot, and the backflow channel is in the backflow state. During the process of the mop head leaving the cleaning bucket, the squeezing plate swings so that the water-squeezing edge is above the pivot, and the backflow channel is in the non-backflow state.

[0013] To fully transfer the water in the cleaning bucket to the outer bucket, the top surface of the squeezing plate has a further concave transition water storage cavity. The water in the transition water storage cavity can be poured into the outer bucket when the squeezing plate swings up. After several cleaning processes, the amount of water on the mop is small, and the energy of the squeezed-out water is not enough to directly drain into the outer bucket. Therefore, the small amount of squeezed-out water is stored in the transition water storage cavity. The water in the transition water storage cavity can be drained to the outer bucket by swinging, or a water-draining hole can be provided at the bottom of the transition water storage cavity to drain the water into the outer bucket.

[0014] The limiting structure also limits the swinging angle range of the squeezing plate. During the process of the mop head entering the cleaning bucket, the squeezing plate is blocked by the limiting structure and cannot be flipped down.

[0015] To save water, at least one inner wall of the cleaning bucket is partially inclined, so that the cleaning bucket has a flared shape from bottom to top. In this way, a smaller amount of water can also make the water level in the cleaning bucket higher.

[0016] To achieve a seamless connection between the clean water tank and the washing tank, as an improvement, the clean water tank has a first insertion part on its side wall or bottom, with a first through hole connecting the outside to its inner cavity. The washing tank has a second insertion part on its side wall, with a second through hole connecting the outside to its inner cavity. The second insertion part is inserted into the first through hole, which forms the water supply channel; alternatively, the first insertion part is inserted into the second through hole, which forms the water supply channel. Furthermore, the water supply channel is formed by the interlocking insertion parts, ensuring that the water supply channel has a certain length. Of course, the water supply channel can also be a hole on the side wall.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: The cleaning bucket includes an outer bucket, a clean water bucket, and a washing bucket. Each of the three buckets performs its own function. The clean water bucket is filled with clean water. When washing, the switch is turned on, and the clean water bucket supplies water to the washing bucket through the water supply channel. The height of the washing bucket is greater than its width. The washing bucket is tall and narrow, so even a small amount of water can form a high water level in the washing bucket. A small amount of water can fully wet the wiped items. After the water is filled, the switch is turned off, and the mop head is positioned in the washing and wringing state by the positioning device. When the mop handle is moved up and down, the mop head always remains in a vertical position and does not shake easily. Pressing down the mop handle moves the mop head, which is positioned in the washing and wringing state, down into the washing bucket and moves and squeezes between it and the wringing plate to move and squeeze the wiped items. Only then will the water in the washing bucket transfer most of the liquid from the clean water bucket to the outer bucket. By repeatedly moving the mop up and down until most of the water in the washing bucket is removed, the water on the wiped items can be thoroughly squeezed dry. Washing and squeezing are completed in a single washing bucket, making the wringing process more convenient. For a second wash, simply turn on the switch again, and the clean water bucket will supply water to the washing bucket again through the water supply channel. Repeat the above steps to complete the second wash, ensuring that the mop is washed with clean water each time. The mop handle is composed of several sections connected by a detachable joint, allowing it to be disassembled for transportation, reducing its size and lowering shipping costs.

[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 13 The figure shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0033] A cleaning appliance with a flat 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, and the mop head 3 is provided with a wiping material 4. The wiping material 4 can be a fiber cloth or foam.

[0034] The cleaning tank 1 includes an outer tank 11, a clean water tank 12, and a washing tank 13. The clean water tank 12 and the washing tank 13 are detachably installed inside the outer tank 11. The top of the clean water tank 12 is closed. The middle parts of the clean water tank 12 and the washing tank 13 are connected by a water supply channel D. The water inlet of the water supply channel D is located at the bottom of the clean water tank 12 or at the lower part of its surrounding structure.

[0035] The water supply channel D is controlled to open and close by switch 6. The height dimension L1 of the cleaning tank 13 is greater than the width dimension L2 of the cleaning tank 13. At least one inner wall of the cleaning tank 13 is inclined so that the cleaning tank 13 forms an flared shape from bottom to top. The cleaning tub 13 is equipped with a wringing plate 5 that squeezes the wiping material 4. The wringing plate 5 is located above the water supply channel D. The mop head 3 and the mop handle 2 can be kept in the cleaning and wringing state by a positioning device. The mop handle 2 is composed of several segments 21 connected by a detachable connection. When mopping, the mop head 3 is disengaged from the control of the positioning device and rotates to the mopping state. When the switch 6 is turned on, the clean water tank 12 fills the cleaning tub 13 with water. After the water is filled, the switch 6 is turned off. The mop head 3 is positioned in the cleaning and wringing state by the positioning device. The mop handle 2 is pressed down to move the mop head 3, which is positioned in the cleaning and wringing state, into the cleaning tub 13 and moves and squeezes the wiping material 4 between it and the wringing plate 5. Only then will the water in the cleaning tub 13 transfer most of the liquid from the clean water tank 12 from the cleaning tub 13 to the outer tub 11.

[0036] The wringer plate 5 is located above the water supply channel D. Above the wringer plate 5, a drainage channel S1 is formed to drain a portion of the water squeezed off the wiping material 4 into the outer tub 11. Above the wringer plate 5, a return water channel S2 is formed to return a portion of the water squeezed off the wiping material 4 to the washing tub 13. The return water channel S2 can switch between a return water state and a non-return water state as the mop head 3 moves up and down.

[0037] The wringer 5 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 one end away from the scraping edge 51. The water-blocking wall 52 and the wringer 5 form the return water channel S2. The upper end of the return water channel S2 is open, and the end of the return water channel S2 facing the wiping material 4 inserted into the cleaning tub 13 is also open. The area above the water-blocking wall 52 forms the drainage channel S1.

[0038] The wringer 5 has pivots 53 on both the front and rear sides. The wringer 5 is pivotally connected to the cleaning tub 13 via the pivots 53 and can swing. The scraping edge 51 and the water-blocking wall 52 are located on the left and right sides of the pivot 53. When the mop head 3 enters the cleaning tub 13 downwards, the wringer 5 swings until the scraping edge 51 is below the pivot 53, and the return water channel S2 is in a return flow state. When the mop head 3 leaves the cleaning tub 13 upwards, the wringer 5 swings until the scraping edge 51 is above the pivot 53, and the return water channel S2 is in a non-return flow state.

[0039] The top surface of the wringer 5 has a further recessed transition water storage cavity 54. The upward swinging wringer 5 can pour the water in the transition water storage cavity 54 into the outer bucket 11. It also includes a limiting structure 7 that limits the swing angle range of the wringer 5. When the mop head 3 enters the washing bucket 13 downward, the wringer 5 is blocked by the limiting structure 7 and cannot be flipped downward.

[0040] The clean water tank 12 has a first insertion part 8a on its side wall or bottom, and the first insertion part 8a has a first through hole 8a1 that connects to the outside and its inner cavity. The cleaning tank 13 has a second insertion part 8b on its side wall, and the second insertion part 8b has a second through hole 8b1 that connects to the outside and its inner cavity. The second insertion part 8b is inserted into the first through hole 8a1, and the second through hole 8b1 constitutes the water supply channel D. Alternatively, the first insertion part 8a is inserted into the second through hole 8b1, and the first through hole 8a1 constitutes the water supply channel D.

[0041] The cleaning bucket 1 includes an outer bucket 11, a clean water bucket 12, and a washing bucket 13. Each of the three buckets has its own function. The clean water bucket 12 is filled with clean water. When washing, the switch 6 is turned on, and the clean water bucket 12 supplies water to the washing bucket 13 through the water supply channel D. The height dimension l1 of the washing bucket 13 is greater than the width dimension l2 of the washing bucket 13. The washing bucket 13 is tall and narrow, so even a small amount of water can form a high water level in the washing bucket 13. A small amount of water can fully wet the wiping object 4. After the water is filled, the switch 6 is turned off, and the mop head 3 is positioned in the washing and wringing state by the positioning device. When the mop handle 2 is moved up and down, the mop head 3 always stays in a vertical position and does not shake easily. Pressing down the mop handle 2 moves the mop head 3, which is positioned in the washing and wringing state, down into the washing bucket 13 and moves and squeezes between it and the wringing plate 5 to move and squeeze the water from the wiping object 4. Only then will the water in the washing bucket transfer most of the liquid from the clean water bucket 12 from the washing bucket 13 to the outer bucket 11. By repeatedly moving the mop up and down until the water in the cleaning bucket 13 is mostly removed, moving the mop head 3 will thoroughly wring out the water from the wiped item 4. Cleaning and wringing are completed within just one cleaning bucket 13, making the wringing operation more convenient. For a second wash, simply turn on the switch again, and the clean water bucket 12 will supply water to the cleaning bucket 13 again via the water supply channel D, repeating the aforementioned operation to complete the second wash, ensuring that the mop is clean water each time. The mop handle 2 is composed of several sections 21 connected by a detachable connection, allowing it to be disassembled for transportation, reducing the overall volume and lowering transportation costs.
