For example, a glass brush disclosed in Chinese design patent CN307198235S has a bristle brush at one end and a scraper at the other end. This allows different objects to be cleaned by selecting different brush heads. The bristle brush is used to clean screens or dust, while the scraper is used to clean water stains on the glass.

[0003] The market offers glass brushes with different brush heads at both ends. In actual production and use, these products are bulky, inconvenient to use, and cannot simultaneously perform the functions of cleaning dust and scraping. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cleaning tool that can be installed on one side at the same time as a brush head and a scraper, with a simple structure and convenient use, allowing users to choose one or two cleaning tools to be used at the same time.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0006] A cleaning tool includes a base and a scraper disposed on the base. A bristle holder for mounting bristles is rotatably disposed on the base. The bristle holder can be unfolded or retracted relative to the base. When the bristle holder is unfolded in the direction of the scraper and located at the outer end of the base, the bristles on the bristle holder are in the cleaning working position. When the bristle holder is retracted in the opposite direction of the scraper and located at the inner end of the base, the bristles on the bristle holder are in the retracted position.

[0007] A further configuration is made such that when the brush bristles are in the cleaning working position, the bristles extend beyond the outer side of the scraper.

[0008] The scraper is further configured such that: at least two wiping sections are provided on the scraper bar, and a receiving groove is formed between adjacent wiping sections; the height of the outer wiping section exceeds the height of the inner wiping section.

[0009] The base is further configured such that: the two sides of the base extend outward to form mounting walls; the two sides of the bristle holder are hinged to the mounting walls; and the bristle holder is rotatably configured relative to the mounting walls; the base is provided with a fixing component for limiting and fixing the bristle holder.

[0010] A further feature is provided: a fixing block is provided on the mounting wall, which keeps the bristle holder fixed when it comes into contact with the bristle holder.

[0011] The setting is further configured such that the fixing block includes a first fixing block and a second fixing block, and the bristle holder is provided with an avoidance groove. When the first fixing block abuts and fixes with the bristle holder, the bristles are in the cleaning working position. The second fixing block is located in the avoidance groove. When the second fixing block abuts with the bristle holder, the bristles on the bristle holder are in the storage position, and the first fixing block is located in the avoidance groove.

[0012] The further configuration is as follows: an elastic ball is provided on the mounting wall, and a first groove and a second groove adapted to the elastic ball are provided on the bristle holder.

[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0035] See Figures 1 to 9As shown, a cleaning tool includes a base 1 and a scraper 2 mounted on the base 1. A bristle holder 4 for mounting bristles 3 is rotatably mounted on the base 1. The bristle holder 4 can be unfolded or retracted relative to the base 1. When the bristle holder 4 is unfolded towards the scraper 2 and located at the outer end of the base 1, the bristles 3 on the bristle holder 4 are in the cleaning working position. When the bristle holder 4 is retracted in the opposite direction of the scraper 2 and located inside the base 1, the bristles 3 on the bristle holder 4 are in the retracted position. This allows the user to retract the bristle holder 4 when the scraper 2 is needed, allowing the scraper 2 to be used alone. When the bristles 3 are needed, the bristle holder 4 can be unfolded to achieve the cleaning function of the bristles 3. Furthermore, when the scraper 2 is needed, it can be used in the opposite direction to achieve the squeegee cleaning effect.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the brush bristles 3 are in the cleaning working position, the brush bristles 3 extend beyond the outer side of the scraper 2. At this time, during use, the scraper 2 can provide a support and abutment to one side of the brush bristles 3, making it easier for the user to clean. When brushing downwards, the brush bristles 3 rest against the scraper 2, and the portion of the brush bristles 3 extending beyond the scraper 2 cleans the screen or cleaning area. When pushing upwards, the brush bristles 3 can be bent below the scraper 2, allowing the scraper 2 to clean the cleaning area. Alternatively, the brush bristles 3 and the scraper 2 can work together on the cleaning area, allowing the user to choose the appropriate method based on their needs.

[0037] The scraper strip 2 can be a standard plastic scraper strip 2.

[0038] To enhance the cleaning effect of the squeegee 2 on the cleaning area, the squeegee 2 is provided with at least two squeegee sections 21. In this embodiment, two squeegee sections 21 are preferred. A receiving groove 22 is formed between adjacent squeegee sections 21. The two ends of the receiving groove 22 are provided through, and the water stains scraped off can flow out through the two ends of the receiving groove 22. The arrangement of multiple squeegee sections 21 can achieve the effect of multiple squeegees with one squeegee action.

[0039] In order to make the wiping part 21 fit the cleaning surface better when wiping at an angle, the height of the outer wiping part 21 is greater than that of the inner wiping part 21, so that the wiping part 21 can fit the cleaning surface when wiping.

[0040] The base 1 has two sides extending outward to form mounting walls 11. The two sides of the bristle holder 4 are hinged to the mounting walls 11. Hinge shafts 41 extend from both ends of the bristle holder 4. Mounting holes 12, adapted to the hinge shafts 41, are provided on the mounting walls 11. The bristle holder 4 is rotatably mounted relative to the mounting walls 11, and the hinge shafts 41 of the bristle holder 4 rotate within the mounting holes 12. The base 1 is provided with a fixing component for limiting and fixing the bristle holder 4. The specific limiting and fixing scheme is as follows:

[0041] Option 1:

[0042] A fixing block is provided on the mounting wall 11. When the fixing block abuts against the bristle holder 4, it keeps the bristle holder 4 fixed, so that the bristle holder 4 will not rotate due to its own weight when it is used on the base 1.

[0043] Preferably, the fixing block includes a first fixing block 13 and a second fixing block 14. The bristle holder 4 is provided with a clearance groove 42. When the first fixing block 13 abuts against and is fixed to the bristle holder 4, the bristles 3 are in the cleaning working position, and the second fixing block 14 is located within the clearance groove 42. When the second fixing block 14 abuts against the bristle holder 4, the bristles 3 on the bristle holder 4 are in the storage position, and the first fixing block 13 is located within the clearance groove 42. The first fixing block 13 and the second fixing block 14 are made of plastic or elastic material. When the two fixing blocks abut against the side wall of the bristle holder 4, the fixing blocks and the side wall are pressed together to maintain a fixed state.

[0044] The base 1 is provided with a limiting protrusion. When the limiting protrusion abuts against the bristle holder 4, the limiting protrusion restricts the bristle holder 4 from continuing to rotate. The limiting protrusion includes a first limiting protrusion 15 and a second limiting protrusion 16. The first limiting protrusion 15 is located at the upper end of the base 1, and the second limiting protrusion 16 is located at the lower end of the base 1. That is, when the bristles 3 are in the cleaning working position, the bristle holder 4 abuts against the first limiting protrusion 15, so that when the bristles 3 are in use, the bristle holder 4 can abut against the first limiting protrusion 15 on one side. At this time, the first fixing block 13 abuts against the bristle holder 4. When the bristles 3 are in the storage position, the bristle holder 4 abuts against the second limiting protrusion 16, and the other side of the bristle holder 4 abuts against the second limiting protrusion 16. At this time, the second fixing block 14 abuts against the bristle holder 4.

[0045] Option 2:

[0046] The mounting wall 11 is provided with an elastic ball. The elastic ball can be a protrusion with elasticity itself, or a spring can be provided behind the ball. The mounting wall 11 is provided with a mounting cavity for mounting the spring and the ball. The ball is squeezed out of the mounting cavity by the pre-pressure of the spring. The bristle holder 4 is provided with a first groove and a second groove that are adapted to the elastic ball. When the elastic ball abuts against the first groove, the bristles 3 are in the cleaning working position. When the elastic ball abuts against the second groove, the bristles 3 on the bristle holder 4 are in the storage position. The cooperation between the elastic ball and the groove can also achieve the fixation between the bristle holder 4 and the mounting wall 11.

[0047] The base 1 is provided with a limiting protrusion. When the limiting protrusion abuts against the bristle holder 4, the limiting protrusion restricts the bristle holder 4 from continuing to rotate. The limiting protrusion includes a first limiting protrusion 15 and a second limiting protrusion 16. The first limiting protrusion 15 is located at the upper end of the base 1, and the second limiting protrusion 16 is located at the lower end of the base 1. The shielding part 17 can be used as the second limiting protrusion 16. That is, when the bristles 3 are in the cleaning working position, the bristle holder 4 abuts against the first limiting protrusion 15, so that when the bristles 3 are in use, the bristle holder 4 can abut against the first limiting protrusion 15 on one side. At this time, the elastic ball abuts against the first groove. When the bristles 3 are in the storage position, the bristle holder 4 abuts against the second limiting protrusion 16, and the other side of the bristle holder 4 abuts against the second limiting protrusion 16. At this time, the elastic ball abuts against the second groove.

[0048] To facilitate the timely drainage of water scraped by the scraper 2, the base 1 is provided with a shielding part 17 extending to the mounting walls 11 on both sides. The shielding part 17 and the mounting walls 11 on both sides form a mounting groove 18. The mounting groove 18 is located below the bristle holder 4. The bottom of the mounting groove 18 is provided with a through hole 19 penetrating the base 1. When the scraper 2 scrapes upward, the water scraped by the scraper 2 flows down the base 1 to the mounting groove 18 and then drains out through the through hole 19. It can also allow the debris that falls into the mounting groove 18 when the bristle holder 4 rotates to be discharged through the through hole 19, avoiding the debris from affecting the rotation of the bristle holder 4.

[0049] The base 1 is detachably provided with a handle 5. The handle 5 is connected to the base 1 by threads or by a snap-fit ​​structure. The handle 5 can be configured as a multi-section detachable structure. For example, the handle 5 can be configured as three threaded rods, which are threaded together to form the handle 5 when in use.

[0050] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
