[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 4This disclosure provides a mop, including a floor brush and a handle detachably connected to the floor brush. The handle includes, but is not limited to, a worm gear, a blower, a liquid reservoir, and a nozzle. The floor brush includes a housing 1 and a dustbin assembly 2 detachably mounted in the housing 1. The dustbin assembly 2 includes a housing and a cleaning cloth 23 detachably mounted on the housing. The housing includes a receiving space 20 and a dirt inlet 210 communicating with the receiving space 20.

[0028] The receiving space 20 is connected to the fan. When the user cleans the floor, carpet, etc. with a mop, the airflow generated by the fan draws dirt into the receiving space 20 through the dirt inlet 210. The receiving space 20 can store a certain amount of dirt, thus avoiding the need for frequent changes of cleaning cloths and frequent cleaning, improving the user's cleaning experience. At the same time, when the dirt stored in the dust box assembly 2 reaches the upper limit of the receiving space 20, the dirt can be removed by detaching the dust box assembly 2 from the outer shell 1. The dust box assembly 2 is detachably installed in the outer shell 1, making it easy to install and remove, thus facilitating the cleaning of dirt.

[0029] In some embodiments, the housing is disposed within the outer casing 1 and protrudes from the bottom of the outer casing 1. The housing includes an upper casing 22 and a lower casing 21, which together form a receiving space 20. The lower casing 21 is provided with a dirt inlet 210. A cleaning cloth 23 is detachably mounted on the lower casing 21. Preferably, the cleaning cloth 23 is detachably mounted on the bottom of the lower casing 21 via Velcro. When cleaning with a mop, the cleaning liquid in the reservoir is sprayed onto the cleaning surface through a nozzle, and the cleaning cloth 23, in conjunction with the cleaning liquid, cleans the dirt from the cleaning surface.

[0030] Furthermore, the dirt inlet 210 is located on one side of the cleaning cloth 23, and the lower housing 21 is provided with an inclined surface 211 that is inclined toward the dirt inlet 210, so that dirt can move toward the dirt inlet 210 and enter the receiving space 20 through the dirt inlet 210.

[0031] In some embodiments, the upper housing 22 and the lower housing 21 are rotatably connected, meaning the upper housing 22 can be rotated open relative to the lower housing 21, thereby facilitating the cleaning of dirt stored in the receiving space 20. The upper housing 22 and the lower housing 21 are rotatably connected by a rotating mechanism 24.

[0032] A first locking mechanism 25 is also provided between the upper housing 22 and the lower housing 21 to lock the upper housing 22 and the lower housing 21, thereby preventing dirt from leaking out of the containment space 20.

[0033] Preferably, the first locking mechanism 25 is a snap-fit ​​mechanism, which makes locking and unlocking the upper housing 22 and the lower housing 21 convenient.

[0034] In some embodiments, the upper housing 22 is provided with an air outlet 210 communicating with the receiving space 20. The receiving space 20 is in fluid communication with the fan through the air outlet 210. During cleaning, the fan generates airflow to allow dirt to enter the receiving space 20 through the dirt inlet 210.

[0035] Furthermore, the upper housing 22 is provided with filter cotton at the air outlet 210 to prevent dirt and liquid in the containment space 20 from entering the fan through the air outlet 210.

[0036] In some embodiments, the dust box assembly 2 is mounted on the housing 1 by a positioning mechanism 5, wherein the positioning mechanism 5 includes a positioning post and a positioning hole that cooperate with each other.

[0037] In one specific implementation, the lower housing 21 is provided with a positioning post at each of its four corners, and the outer housing 1 is provided with four positioning holes on its top wall. During installation, the positioning posts on the lower housing 21 are inserted into the corresponding positioning holes of the outer housing 1.

[0038] As another specific implementation, four rectangularly distributed positioning posts are provided on the top wall of the outer shell 1, and four positioning holes are correspondingly opened at the four corners of the lower shell 21. During installation, the positioning posts on the outer shell 1 are inserted into the corresponding positioning holes of the lower shell 21.

[0039] In some embodiments, the dustbin assembly 2 is mounted on the housing via a second locking mechanism 4. The second locking mechanism 4 includes an unlocking button 41, a hook portion 42, and an engaging portion 43. The unlocking button 41 and the hook portion 42 are both disposed on the housing 1, and the unlocking button 41 extends out of the housing 1. When pressed, the unlocking button 41 can drive the hook portion 42 to rotate, and the engaging portion 43 is disposed on the dustbin assembly 2.

[0040] Specifically, the engaging part 43 is a protrusion on the outer wall of the lower-opening housing 21. The engaging part 43 has a groove that mates with the hook part 43. When the unlocking button 41 is not pressed, the hook head of the hook part 42 engages in the groove of the engaging part 43, thereby locking the dust box assembly 2 to the housing 1. During installation, the dust box assembly 2 is placed into the housing 1, and the hook head of the hook part 42 engages in the groove of the engaging part 43. When it is necessary to remove the dust box assembly 2 from the housing 1, the unlocking button 41 is pressed. As the unlocking button 41 moves downward, it pushes the hook part 42 to rotate, thereby disengaging the hook head of the hook part 42 from the groove, and unlocking the dust box assembly 2 from the housing 1.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the dustbin assembly 2 is mounted on the housing 1 via the positioning mechanism 5 and locked to the housing 1 via the second locking mechanism 4. During installation, the dustbin assembly 2 is placed into the housing 1 with the positioning pins corresponding to the positioning holes, and then the hook head of the hook portion 42 is engaged in the groove of the engaging portion 43.

[0042] In some embodiments, at least two rollers 3 are also installed at the bottom of the lower housing 21 to facilitate the movement of the mop.

[0043] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to the above embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
