TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of cleaning tools, in particular to a cleaning tool suitable for cleaning a flat mop or a foamed cotton flat mop. BACKGROUND
[0002] Most mop cleaning buckets for cleaning flat mops or foamed cotton flat mops need to fill water in the bucket body, and then put the mop in for cleaning. The water is clean only at the first time, and the water in the mop bucket is not clean at the next time. After cleaning, the mop is squeezed in another area.
[0003] For example, a flat mop tool disclosed in a Chinese utility model patent with patent No. CN201821203889.3 (publication No. CN209863678U) includes a mop bucket and a flat mop. The mop bucket has a separate water squeezing area and a separate water holding area. The bucket body of the water squeezing area is provided with a squeezing device. The flat mop includes a wiping material, a mop rod, and a flat mop plate connected to the lower end of the mop rod. In use, the flat mop is rotated to a squeezable state, and then inserted into the squeezing device in the water squeezing 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 a water transfer device. Since 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 water squeezing area can be basically completely transferred to the water holding area after multiple reciprocations. In this process, the wiping material is also squeezed dry. Then, the water in the water holding area enters the water squeezing area through the slow-release mechanism. After the flat mop is used for mopping and the wiping material is dirty, the flat mop can enter the water squeezing area for water squeezing and cleaning.
[0004] Although the aforementioned patent can perform cleaning and squeezing operations in the same area (water squeezing area), the dirty water washed off the wiping material 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 water squeezing 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. The amount of water released into the water squeezing area through the slow-release mechanism each time cannot be quantitatively controlled, i.e., the amount of water used for cleaning the mop each time is not quantified. The water used for cleaning the mop may not fully immerse the wiping material, which further affects the cleaning of the wiping material.
[0005] In summary, how to automatically and quantitatively provide water is a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. SUMMARY
[0006] The present application aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems in the prior art and provides a cleaning tool with a mop that ensures that the water used for cleaning and squeezing each time is clean water and can automatically provide clean water quantitatively each time. The cleaning tool can complete cleaning and squeezing operations simultaneously in one chamber using a small amount of water.
[0007] The present application solves the above technical problems by the technical scheme that a cleaning device with a mop comprises a cleaning bucket and a mop, 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 has a first cavity and a second cavity which are independent of each other, and the cleaning bucket is characterized in that a handle is arranged on the cleaning bucket, the first cavity and the second cavity are communicated through a flow channel, an opening and closing element is arranged on the flow channel, the first cavity is used for adding and storing clean water, the top end of the first cavity is closed, the second cavity is used for receiving the clean water flowing into the second cavity through the flow channel and for the mop head to enter for cleaning, a squeezing and scraping element is arranged on the second cavity, the mop head is rotated to a squeezable state substantially parallel to the mop rod, the mop head and the mop rod in this state are inserted into the second cavity and moved up and down, the wiping material is squeezed and scraped by the squeezing and scraping element, the end of the squeezing and scraping element away from the second cavity has a water blocking plate extending upward, a water transfer channel is formed above the water blocking plate, the water blocking plate blocks a small amount of water squeezed and scraped from the wiping material and makes the water flow back to the wiping material, and the water transfer channel is used for guiding a large amount of water squeezed and scraped from the wiping material to the outside of the second cavity, and the amount of the backflow water is less than the amount of the guided water.
[0008] Alternatively, the cleaning bucket comprises an outer bucket, a first inner bucket and a second inner bucket, the first inner bucket and the second inner bucket are at least partially installed in the outer bucket, the inner cavity of the first inner bucket constitutes the first cavity, the inner cavity of the second inner bucket constitutes the second cavity, the inner cavity of the outer bucket constitutes the outside of the second cavity, and the middle parts of the first inner bucket and the second inner bucket are communicated through the flow channel. The three bucket bodies are arranged to make the regions more independent of each other, and compared with being separated into three regions by a partition, the three bucket bodies are more beneficial to manufacturing and can be designed for each region.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the first inner bucket and the second inner bucket are arranged in a staggered manner, and the bottom of the first inner bucket is located above the bottom of the second inner bucket. This makes the lowest position of the second cavity lower than the outlet end of the flow channel, which is beneficial to the water flowing into the second cavity. The smaller the difference between the first inner bucket and the second inner bucket, the less water can block the outlet end of the flow channel, and the water in the clean water area can be used more frequently. Of course, if too little water flows into the cleaning area, the wiping material cannot be sufficiently immersed in water, which affects the cleaning effect.
[0010] Further improvement, the first inner bucket and the second inner bucket are fixed on a connecting component by screws or buckles, and the connecting component is installed in the outer bucket. When assembling, the two inner buckets can be installed on the connecting component in advance to ensure the relative position of the two inner buckets, and then the connecting component can be fixed in the outer bucket, which is more convenient for assembly.
[0011] To form a seal at the top of the first chamber while also facilitating the injection of water into the first chamber, the top of the first chamber is provided with a cover that blocks the upper port of the second chamber, the cover being ultrasonically welded or fastened to the upper port of the second chamber, the cover being provided with an injection hole, the injection hole being provided with a removable plug.
[0012] As an improvement, the flow channel also serves as an air inlet channel, so that air enters the first chamber through the flow channel while the flow channel supplies water to the second chamber. This makes better use of atmospheric pressure. When the water in the second chamber reaches the water outlet end of the flow channel, the first chamber stops supplying water to the second chamber. When the water in the second chamber does not reach the water outlet end of the flow channel and the opening and closing element is open, the water in the first chamber automatically supplies water to the second chamber, and air enters the first chamber above the effective liquid level through the flow channel, ensuring smooth water supply through the flow channel and eliminating the need for an additional air inlet valve. The structure is simpler. Of course, a one-way air inlet valve can also be provided at another position of the first chamber, but this will complicate the structure.
[0013] To further save water, as a preferred embodiment, the water outlet end of the flow channel and the bottom of the second chamber have a height distance, the water level when the water in the second chamber reaches the water outlet end of the flow channel is the initial water level, and in the state that the mop head is completely in the second chamber, the water level in the second chamber rises to the second water level, and the height of the wiping material is higher than the second water level. The wiping material above the second water level is not soaked, and this part of the wiping material can be soaked by the water flowing back through the baffle.
[0014] As an improvement, the squeezing and scraping member can swing, the top surface of the squeezing and scraping member has a further recessed transition water storage cavity, and the upward swinging squeezing and scraping member can pour the water in the transition water storage cavity to the outside of the second chamber. After several cleanings, 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 outside of the second chamber. Therefore, the small amount of squeezed water is stored in the transition water storage cavity, and the water in the transition water storage cavity can be discharged to the outside of the second chamber by swinging or by being provided with a drain hole at the bottom of the transition water storage cavity.
[0015] To ensure that the squeezing and scraping plate swings within a suitable angle range, a limiting structure is further included for limiting the swinging angle range of the squeezing and scraping member, and the squeezing and scraping member is blocked by the limiting structure and cannot be flipped downward during the process that the mop head enters the second chamber. If the angle of forward flipping is too large, the water in the transition water storage cavity is easily discharged to the second chamber, and it is ensured that the water in the transition water storage cavity does not flow back to the second chamber as much as possible, and as much as possible is discharged to the outside of the second chamber.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the utility model discloses the advantages that the cleaning bucket has two chambers of first cavity and second cavity which are independent of each other, and the middle part of the first cavity and the second cavity is communicated through the flow channel, but the first cavity is only responsible for providing clean water to the second cavity through the flow channel, when cleaning, opening the opening and closing element, the first cavity supplies water to the second cavity through the flow channel, when the water in the first cavity covers the water outlet end of the flow channel, because the top end of the first cavity is closed, under the action of atmospheric pressure, the first cavity automatically stops supplying water to the second cavity, so the water amount supplied to the second cavity each time is certain, after the water supply is completed, closing the opening and closing element again, the mop head enters the second cavity and moves downwards, and the wiping article is squeezed and scraped by the squeezing and scraping piece, the sewage squeezed and scraped from the wiping article each time is transferred to the outside of the second cavity through the water transfer channel above the water baffle, and the other part of the water is returned to the second cavity through the water baffle, so that the wiping article is supplemented and infiltrated, and water is saved, the water amount of the return water is less than the water amount of the lead-out water, when ensuring that the return water supplements and infiltrates the wiping article, the water amount of the return water is less than the water amount of the lead-out water, and the cleaning time is accelerated, the mop is moved up and down repeatedly for many times, until the water in the second cavity is transferred clean, the water on the wiping article can be fully squeezed, and the cleaning and squeezing are completed in one second cavity, so that the water squeezing operation is more convenient, when cleaning the second time, the above steps can be repeated by opening the opening and closing element again, and the mop is cleaned by clean water each time.

[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 appliance with a 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 bucket 1 is equipped with a handle 8. The cleaning bucket 1 has a first chamber 1a and a second chamber 1b that are independent of each other. The first chamber 1a and the second chamber 1b are connected by a flow channel D. The flow channel D is equipped with an opening and closing element 5. The first chamber 1a is used to add and store clean water. The top of the first chamber 1a is closed. The second chamber 1b is used to receive the clean water flowing in through the flow channel D and to allow the mop head 3 to enter for cleaning.
[0034] The second cavity 1b is provided with a squeezing member 6. The mop head 3 is rotated to a squeezing 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 second cavity 1b and move up and down. The squeezing member 6 squeezes and scrapes the wiping object 4. The end of the squeezing member 6 away from the second cavity 1b has an upwardly extending water baffle 61. A water transfer channel S is formed above the water baffle 61. The water baffle 61 blocks a small part of the water squeezed off the wiping object 4 and causes it to flow back towards the wiping object 4. The water transfer channel S is used to guide most of the water squeezed off the wiping object 4 to the outside of the second cavity 1b. The amount of water flowing back and water flowing out meets the following condition: the amount of water flowing back is less than the amount of water flowing out.
[0035] The cleaning bucket 1 comprises an outer bucket 11, a first inner bucket 12 and a second inner bucket 13, the first inner bucket 12 and the second inner bucket 13 are at least partially installed in the outer bucket 11, the inner cavity of the first inner bucket 12 constitutes the first cavity 1a, the inner cavity of the second inner bucket 13 constitutes the second cavity 1b, the inner cavity of the outer bucket 11 constitutes the outside of the second cavity 1b, and the middle portions of the first inner bucket 12 and the second inner bucket 13 are communicated through the flow channel D.
[0036] The first inner bucket 12 and the second inner bucket 13 are fixed on the connecting component 9 by screws or buckles, and the connecting component 9 is installed in the outer bucket 11. The first inner bucket 12 and the second inner bucket 13 are arranged in an up-down staggered manner, and the bottom of the first inner bucket 12 is located above the bottom of the second inner bucket 13.
[0037] The top of the first cavity 1a is provided with a cover 15 for blocking the upper port of the second cavity 1b, and a water injection hole 151 is formed in the cover 15, and a removable plug 152 is arranged at the water injection hole 151 for blocking. The flow channel D also serves as an air inlet channel, so that water is supplied to the second cavity 1b through the flow channel D, and air enters the first cavity 1a through the flow channel D at the same time.
[0038] The flow channel D has a height distance H between the water outlet end and the bottom of the second cavity 1b, and the water level in the second cavity 1b when the water outlet end of the flow channel D is submerged is an initial water level h1, and when the mop head 3 is completely inserted into the second cavity 1b, the water level in the second cavity 1b is raised to a second water level h2, and the height of the wiping material 4 is higher than the second water level h2.
[0039] The squeezing and scraping piece 6 can swing, and the top surface of the squeezing and scraping piece 6 has a further recessed transition water storage cavity 62, and the upward swinging squeezing and scraping piece 6 can pour the water in the transition water storage cavity 62 to the outside of the second cavity 1b. The swinging angle range of the squeezing and scraping piece 6 is limited by the limiting structure 7, and during the process that the mop head 3 enters the second cavity 1b downward, the squeezing and scraping piece 6 is blocked by the limiting structure 7 and cannot be turned downward.
[0040] The cleaning bucket 1 has two chambers, a first chamber 1a and a second chamber 1b, which are independent of each other and communicate with each other through a flow channel D in the middle of the first chamber 1a and the second chamber 1b, and the first chamber 1a is only responsible for providing clean water to the second chamber 1b through the flow channel D; when cleaning, the opening and closing element 5 is opened, the first chamber 1a supplies water to the second chamber 1b through the flow channel D, and when the water in the first chamber 1a covers the water outlet end of the flow channel D, the first chamber 1a is automatically no longer supplied to the second chamber 1b under the action of atmospheric pressure, so the amount of water supplied to the second chamber 1b each time is certain; after the water supply is completed, the opening and closing element 5 is closed again, the mop head 3 enters the second chamber 1b and moves downward, and the wiping material 4 is squeezed and scraped for cleaning by the squeezing and scraping piece 6; the sewage squeezed and scraped from the wiping material 4 each time is transferred to the outside of the second chamber 1b through the water transfer channel S above the water baffle 61, and the other part of the water is blocked to flow back into the second chamber 1b through the water baffle 61, so as to supplement the soaking of the wiping material 4 and save water; the amount of backflow water is less than the amount of outgoing water, which not only ensures the backflow water to supplement the soaking of the wiping material 4, but also makes the amount of backflow water less than the amount of outgoing water, so as to speed up the cleaning time; the mop is repeatedly moved up and down for multiple times, until the water in the second chamber 1b is completely transferred, so that the water on the wiping material 4 can be fully squeezed out, and the cleaning and squeezing operations are completed in only one second chamber 1b, so that the water squeezing operation is more convenient; when cleaning the mop for the second time, the opening and closing element 5 is opened again, and the above steps are repeated, so that clean water is used to clean the mop each time.
