Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cloth mop technology, specifically to a cloth mop that can automatically wring out water. Background Technology
[0002] Cloth mops typically consist of multiple strips of cloth, making them relatively inexpensive and affordable. They offer good friction when mopping and can effectively remove some stubborn stains. However, most cloth mops on the market require manual wringing to clean, which can wet your hands and is quite strenuous.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN2115761U discloses a mop clamp that allows users to wring out mop without getting their hands wet. When wringing out mop, the user holds the sleeve in one hand and the mop handle in the other, allowing the sleeve to slide on the mop handle to straighten the mop. Then, by rotating and pushing the sleeve, the user can wring out the mop without getting their hands wet.
[0004] While the mop mentioned above can make large, dry strips of cloth without wetting your hands, wringing the cloth is quite laborious, and the cloth isn't wrung out very well. Utility Model Content

[0018] Furthermore, the latching position includes a locking block fixed to the outside of the second arc-shaped extension, a positioning groove opened at the outer end of the locking block, and a latching platform provided at the bottom of the positioning groove;
[0019] The fastener includes a connecting arm fixed to the outside of the free end of the outer half ring and a snap-fit arm vertically fixed to the connecting arm. The inner side of the snap-fit arm is provided with a hook portion that snaps into the snap-fit platform portion.
[0020] When the outer half-ring is locked to the locking seat, the free end of the outer half-ring abuts against the side end of the locking seat, and the hook part engages with the locking platform part.
[0021] Furthermore, the locking element includes a lock groove and a button;
[0022] The locking groove is located on the outside of the mop handle;
[0023] The button is installed on the outside of the outer tube, and the inner side of the button is provided with a locking pin that passes through the relief groove. The button can drive the locking pin to engage or disengage from the locking groove.
[0024] Furthermore, the outer sleeve is provided with a mounting groove on its exterior, and the middle part of the button is rotatably mounted in the mounting groove via a pivot. A compression spring is supported between the inner side of the upper part of the button and the mounting groove, and a locking pin is provided on the inner side of the lower part of the button, which passes through the clearance groove. When the outer sleeve slides to the position where the mop is straightened, the locking pin engages in the locking groove to achieve locking between the outer sleeve and the mop handle.
[0025] Furthermore, the mop handle has multiple locking grooves spaced apart along its outer axial direction, and the upper side wall of each locking groove is provided with a guide slope, and the upper corner of the end of the locking pin is also provided with a guide slope.

Detailed Implementation
[0047] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0048] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.
[0049] like Figures 1-14 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a cloth mop that can automatically wring out water, including a mop handle 100, an inner sleeve 200, an outer sleeve 300, and a mop cloth.
[0050] The lower end of the mop handle 100 is provided with a first cloth strip connecting ring 110.
[0051] The inner sleeve 200 is slidably sleeved outside the mop handle 100. The inner sleeve 200 has a relief groove 210 extending axially on its wall and a water squeezing element 220 at its lower end.
[0052] The outer sleeve 300 is slidably sleeved outside the inner sleeve 200, and the lower end of the outer sleeve 300 is provided with a second cloth strip connecting ring 310.
[0053] The mop includes several strips 400 arranged in a ring and connected between the first strip connecting ring 110 and the second strip connecting ring 310. Each strip 400 passes through the squeezing groove 221 in a squeezed manner.
[0054] When the outer sleeve 300 slides to the position where the mop is straight, it can be locked between the locking member 500 passing through the relief groove 210 and the mop handle 100.
[0055] When the mop is in use, both the inner sleeve 200 and the outer sleeve 300 slide to the lower end of the mop handle 100, and the cloth strips 400 spread around it to form the mop head (e.g., ...). Figure 12 As shown), when squeezing water from the cloth strip 400, first slide the outer sleeve 300 upwards until the cloth strip 400 is straightened. After the cloth strip 400 is straightened, the outer sleeve 300 is locked to the mop handle 100 via the locking piece 500. Then, push and pull the inner sleeve 200 up and down. The inner sleeve 200 drives the squeezing member 220 to move, thereby squeezing water from the cloth strip 400 through the squeezing member 220 (as shown). Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown in the figure, the cloth strip 400 is squeezed dry without wetting the hands. Compared with the prior art, the method of squeezing water from the cloth strip 400 by pushing and pulling the water squeezing component 220 is easier and less labor-intensive, and the squeezing effect is better.
[0056] It should be noted that when the mop in this embodiment is not in use, the cloth strip 400 is stretched out to reduce bacterial growth. When mopping, the cloth strip 400 is spread out to make contact with the ground over a large area.
[0057] In some embodiments, the dewatering member 220 has an annular structure, and dewatering grooves 221 are distributed circumferentially on the dewatering member 220, with each strip of cloth 400 passing through the dewatering grooves 221 respectively.
[0058] Alternatively, refer to 5 and Figure 10 The water-squeezing component 220 includes an inner ring 222 and two outer half-rings 223.
[0059] The inner ring 222 is fixed outside the inner sleeve 200, and the two opposite sides of the outer side of the inner ring 222 are respectively fixedly connected to the hinge seat 224 and the locking seat 225.
[0060] Two outer half-rings 223 are arranged opposite to each other and respectively surround the inner ring 222, and water squeezing grooves 221 are formed between each outer half-ring 223 and the inner ring 222. One end of each outer half-ring 223 is hinged to a hinge seat 224, and the free ends of each outer half-ring 223 are locked to a locking seat 225.
[0061] The cloth strip 400 passes through the squeezing hole groove 221. The outer half ring 223 can be opened first, and then the protrusions can be arranged in sequence on the outer periphery of the inner ring 222. Then the outer half ring 223 can be closed and locked on the locking seat 225. This makes it easier to pass the cloth strip 400 through the squeezing hole groove 221 during assembly, making the operation more convenient. It can also ensure that the cloth strip 400 is pressed tightly in the squeezing hole groove 221, thereby ensuring the squeezing effect of the squeezing hole groove 221 on the cloth strip 400. At the same time, it is also convenient to replace the cloth strip 400.
[0062] It is understandable that in other embodiments, the squeezing member 220 can also be an integral structure, and the squeezing groove 221 can be an annular groove formed in the squeezing member 220 or a hole corresponding to each strip of cloth 400. The drawback of this is that it is not very convenient to replace the strip of cloth 400. Furthermore, if the strip of cloth 400 is thick and the squeezing groove 221 is small, it is difficult for the strip of cloth 400 to pass through the squeezing groove 221. If the strip of cloth 400 is thin and the squeezing groove 221 is large, although it is easier for the strip of cloth 400 to pass through the squeezing groove 221, the squeezing effect on the strip of cloth 400 is not good, and the squeezing effect is average.
[0063] Optionally, to facilitate the installation of the two outer half-rings 223, the hinge seat 224 has a first arc-shaped extension 2241 and a first connecting part 2242 fixed between the middle part of the first arc-shaped extension 2241 and the inner ring 222. Both ends of the first arc-shaped extension 2241 are provided with hinge grooves 2243, and one end of each of the two outer half-rings 223 is installed in the corresponding hinge grooves 2243 through hinge pins.
[0064] Optionally, in order to facilitate locking of the two outer half-rings 223 and the locking seat 225, the locking seat 225 has a second arc-shaped extension 2251 and a second connecting part 2252 fixed between the middle part of the second arc-shaped extension 2251 and the inner ring 222. The outer sides of both ends of the second arc-shaped extension 2251 are provided with snap-fit positions, and the free ends of the two outer half-rings 223 are provided with snap-fit members that respectively engage with the corresponding snap-fit positions.
[0065] Specifically, the latch includes a locking block 2253 fixed to the outside of the second arc-shaped extension 2251, a positioning groove 2254 opened at the outer end of the locking block 2253, and a latching platform 2255 provided at the bottom of the positioning groove 2254.
[0066] The fastener includes a connecting arm 2231 fixed to the outside of the free end of the outer half ring 223 and a snap-fit arm 2232 vertically fixed to the connecting arm 2231. The inner side of the snap-fit arm 2232 is provided with a snap hook portion 2233 that engages with the snap-fit platform portion 2255.
[0067] When the outer half ring 223 is locked to the locking seat 225, the free end of the outer half ring 223 abuts against the side end of the locking seat 225, and the hook part 2233 engages with the locking platform part 2255.
[0068] When locking the two outer half-rings 223 to the locking seat 225, simply rotate the outer half-ring 223 to one side of the locking seat 225. The latching arm 2232 at one end of the outer half-ring 223 rotates into the positioning groove 2254 at the outer end of the locking block 2253. The latching hook 2233 on the inner side of the latching arm 2232 automatically engages with the latching platform 2255 at the bottom of the positioning groove 2254. At this time, the free end of the outer half-ring 223 abuts against the side end of the locking seat 225, thus locking the outer half-ring 223 to the locking seat 225. The locking operation of the outer half-ring 223 is convenient and secure.
[0069] When the outer half ring 223 needs to be opened, simply pull the locking arm 2232 outward so that the hook part 2233 on the inner side of the locking arm 2232 disengages from the locking platform part 2255 at the bottom of the positioning groove 2254, and then the outer half ring 223 can be rotated outward to open. The opening operation of the outer half ring 223 is convenient.
[0070] In some embodiments, refer to 1, Figure 4 and Figure 8 The locking component 500 includes a locking groove 510 and a button 520. The locking groove 510 is located outside the mop handle 100, and the button 520 is installed outside the outer sleeve 300. The inner side of the button 520 has a locking pin 521 that passes through a clearance groove 210. The button 520 can drive the locking pin 521 to engage or disengage from the locking groove 510. When the locking pin 521 engages in the locking groove 510, the outer sleeve 300 and the mop handle 100 are locked together. When the locking pin 521 disengages from the locking groove 510, the locking of the mop handle 100 is released.
[0071] Specifically, the outer sleeve 300 has an external mounting groove 320. The middle part of the button 520 is rotatably mounted in the mounting groove 320 via a pivot. A compression spring 530 is supported between the inner side of the upper part of the button 520 and the mounting groove 320. The inner side of the lower part of the button 520 has a locking pin 521 that passes through the clearance groove 210. When the outer sleeve 300 slides to the position where the mop is straightened, the locking pin 521 engages with the locking groove 510 to achieve locking between the outer sleeve 300 and the mop handle 100.
[0072] As the outer sleeve 300 is slid upward to straighten the cloth strip 400, when the locking pin 521 inside the button 520 slides to the locking groove 510, the button 520, under the action of the spring, automatically engages the locking pin 521 into the locking groove 510 on the mop handle 100, thus locking the outer sleeve 300 and the mop handle 100. To unlock the outer sleeve 300, press the upper part of the button 520, and the lower part of the button 520 will tilt upward, causing the locking pin 521 to disengage from the locking groove 510, thereby unlocking the outer sleeve 300.
[0073] Optionally, the mop handle 100 has multiple locking grooves 510 spaced apart along its outer axial direction. Each locking groove 510 has a guide slope on its upper side wall, and the upper corner of the end of the locking pin 521 also has a guide slope. In this way, the locking pin 521 can be locked in the locking grooves 510 at different positions, which is suitable for straightening strips of cloth 400 of different lengths and has better adaptability.
[0074] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 8 The mop handle 100 is provided with a guide protrusion 120 that slides into the relief groove 210. This ensures that the inner sleeve 200 slides relative to the mop handle 100 while preventing it from rotating relative to the mop handle 100.
[0075] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 9 The inner wall of the outer sleeve 300 is provided with a guide groove 330 extending along the axial direction, and the edge of the clearance groove 210 on the outer edge of the inner sleeve 200 is provided with a guide protrusion 211 that slides into the guide groove 330. This ensures that the outer sleeve 300 slides relative to the inner sleeve 200 while preventing it from rotating relative to the inner sleeve 200.
[0076] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 In order to facilitate the setting of guide groove 330 inside the outer sleeve 300, multiple ribs 340 extending axially are distributed circumferentially on the inner wall of the outer sleeve 300. The inner end of each rib 340 is adapted to the outside of the inner sleeve 200, and two ribs 340 form guide groove 330.
[0077] With the above design, the mop handle 100, inner sleeve 200 and outer sleeve 300 can only slide relative to each other in the axial direction and cannot rotate relative to each other, which can prevent the cloth strip 400 from twisting.
[0078] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
