[0035] As attached Figure 1-5 As shown, this application provides a mini laundry cup through the following technical solution, including:

[0036] The cup body 1 has a cavity 11, an opening 12 at the top of the cup body 1, the opening 12 communicating with the cavity 11, and a stirring component 13 at the bottom of the cup body;

[0037] The cup holder 2 is located below the cup body 1. The cup holder 2 is equipped with a drive component 21, which is connected to the stirring component 13 to drive the stirring component 13 to rotate.

[0038] The first cover 3 is closed on the opening 12 of the cup body 1. The surface of the first cover 3 is provided with a window 31. When the first cover 3 is closed on the opening 12 of the cup body 1, the window 31 is connected to the opening 12.

[0039] The first cover 3 is movably provided with a second cover 32, thereby sealing or opening the window 31.

[0040] The present application has the following beneficial effects: the cup body and the cup base are movably connected, so that the stirring component at the bottom of the cup body can be driven by the driving component of the cup base for cleaning, and the cup body can be removed to add or pour water through the top opening. During the cleaning process, the first and second covers on the opening can be opened to temporarily treat the items to be cleaned and add cleaning products, which improves the convenience of cleaning.

[0041] In the technical solution applied in this embodiment, a pivot 33 is provided between the first cover 3 and the second cover 32, and the second cover 32 is rotatably connected to the first cover 3 via the pivot 33. It should be noted that the pivot 33 can be either a vertical or horizontal pivot; the pivot 33 can be disposed on either the first cover 3 or the second cover 32. In this embodiment, the pivot 33 is vertical and disposed on the second cover. The first cover 3 has a shaft hole (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the pivot 33, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the second cover 32 and the first cover 3.

[0042] Specifically, the second cover 32 is provided with a downwardly extending limiting part 321. The limiting part 321 is adapted to the size of the window 31. When the second cover 32 covers the window 31, the limiting part 321 extends into the window 31, which can close the window 31 and at the same time maintain the relative position of the second cover 32 and the first cover 3, thus achieving relative fixation of the second cover 32.

[0043] It should be noted that the input end of the stirring component 21 is driven to the output end of the drive component 21 of the cup holder 2. The other end of the stirring component 21 is located inside the cup and is equipped with a stirring wheel (not shown in the figure). The motor (not shown in the figure) of the drive component 21 rotates to drive the stirring wheel to rotate, thereby cleaning the cleaning material inside the cup.

[0044] In another applicable embodiment, the surface of the first cover 3 surrounding the window 31 is also provided with an exhaust through hole 34. After the first cover 3 is closed on the opening 12, the exhaust through hole 34 connects to the cavity 11. During the washing process of the washing cup, it can maintain the air pressure balance inside and outside the cup 1, preventing the first cover 3 from being pushed open due to excessive air pressure inside the cup 1. At the same time, the exhaust through hole 34 can also appropriately discharge the foam inside the cup 1 during the washing process. When the second cover 32 covers the window 31, the second cover 32 covers the exhaust through hole 34 to prevent external dust and impurities from entering, and the gap between the second cover 32 and the exhaust through hole 34 allows for gas circulation.

[0045] In another applicable embodiment, the cup body 1 has a locked position and an unlocked position relative to the cup base 2. The cup body 1 can rotate along its central axis to switch between the locked position and the unlocked position. When the cup body 1 is in the unlocked position, it can be separated from the cup base 2. When the cup body 1 rotates from the unlocked position to the locked position, it can be connected and fixed to the cup base 2.

[0046] Specifically, a limiting structure is provided between the cup body 1 and the cup base 2. The limiting structure includes two mutually cooperating first limiting structures and second limiting structures. The first limiting structure includes a first slot 22, and the second limiting structure includes a first rib 14. One of the first slot 22 and the first rib 14 is provided on the cup body 1, and the other is provided on the cup base 2. When the cup body 1 is rotated from the unlocked position to the locked position, the first rib 14 is inserted into the first slot 22, and the outer wall of the first rib 14 abuts against the inner wall of the first slot 22 to restrict the movement of the cup body 1 and achieve connection and fixation with the cup base 2.

[0047] To ensure stability after the first rib 14 abuts against the first slot 22, and to prevent the rotational force generated by the drive assembly of the cup holder 2 and the stirring assembly of the cup body 1 from causing the first rib 14 to disengage from the first slot 22 and resulting in connection failure between the cup body 1 and the cup holder 2, a second rib 221 is provided in the first slot 22. The second rib 221 has a second slot 222. After the first rib 14 is inserted into the first slot 22, the second rib 221 simultaneously engages with the second slot 222. A locking state is formed between the first rib 14 and the first slot 22, and between the second rib 221 and the second slot 222. This increases the force required for the first rib 14 to disengage from the first slot 22, thus preventing the first rib 14 from disengaging from the first slot 22 during operation of the washing cup.

[0048] In practical use, first add the cleaning agent and water into the cup body 1, then place the cup body 1 into the unlocked position of the cup base 2, rotate the cup body 1 to the locked position, close the first cover 3 on the opening 12, add the detergent through the window 31, and then close the second cover 32 to start the washing cup. During the washing process, if it is necessary to temporarily handle the cleaning agent or add detergent, the first cover 3 or the second cover 32 can be opened to complete the task. When rinsing is required after washing, rotate the cup body 1 to the unlocked position, remove the cup body 1 and open the cover 3, change the water in the cup body 1, and then put the cup body 1 back into the cup base 2 until the entire washing is completed.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first slot 22 is disposed on the outer side wall of the cup holder 2, and the first rib 14 is disposed on the inner side wall of the cup body 1 corresponding to the outer side wall of the cup holder 2.

[0050] In addition, an elastic seal 35 is provided between the first cover 3 and the opening 12. After the first cover 3 is closed on the opening 12, the elastic seal 35 fills the gap between the first cover 3 and the opening 12, restricting the movement of the first cover 3 and increasing the stability of the first cover 3. At the same time, the elastic seal 35 can also reduce the leakage of liquid in the cup 1 from the gap between the first cover 3 and the opening 12.

[0051] A stirring block 17 protrudes from the inner wall of the cup body 1, facing the cavity 11, which can increase the water flow and agitation of the laundry items during the washing process, thereby improving the washing effect. A hanging ring 15 is also provided on the outer wall of the cup body 1. The cup body 1 or laundry cup can be hung and stored by connecting the hanging ring 15 with a hook or hanging rope for easy storage. An anti-slip sleeve 16 is also provided on the outer wall of the cup body 1 to improve the anti-slip properties when holding the cup body 1.

[0052] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
