Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cleaning product structure technology, specifically referring to a mop bucket. Background Technology

[0002] A flat mop is a type of mop that cleans by contacting the ground with its flat surface. Typically, a replaceable, absorbent cloth is attached to the bottom of a flat mop to wet and mop the floor. To prevent the mop head from not contacting the ground during cleaning, some flat mops are equipped with a mop bucket. The mop head is inserted into or lifted into the mop bucket to clean the floor.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN202410388897.3 describes a double-layer mop bucket for a flat mop, comprising an outer bucket with a clean water zone and a wastewater zone, an inner bucket located in the wastewater zone and capable of holding a flat mop, and a cover assembly detachably mounted on the outer bucket. The inner bucket has a connected washing zone and a squeegee zone. The cover assembly has a washing port connecting the washing zone and a squeegee port connecting the squeegee zone. The bottom of the inner bucket has a groove to restrict the flat mop from being fully inserted. The cover assembly has a water guide channel to direct water scraped from the squeegee port into the wastewater zone. This product achieves the effect of separating clean and wastewater. However, it also has some shortcomings: the pumping method using a plunger structure results in a complex transmission structure and high manufacturing cost; moreover, there is only one high-level clean water spray outlet, causing a significant amount of clean water to fall back to the bottom of the mop bucket without being absorbed by the mop head's wiping cloth, resulting in a relatively weak spraying effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mop bucket with good cleaning effect.

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

[0006] A mop bucket includes a bucket body and a lid; the top of the bucket body has a cleaning port and a wringing port, both of which are equipped with wringers; the bucket body contains a clean water tank located to one side of the cleaning port; the bottom of the clean water tank has a drain port with a drain valve; when the mop is inserted into the cleaning port, the drain valve is opened, and the liquid in the clean water tank is discharged from the drain port or the drain valve and poured onto the wiping cloth; when the mop is inserted into the wringing port, it cannot reach the drain valve, and the mop can wring the wiping cloth dry by moving the mop in and out of the wringing port.

[0007] The drain valve is located below the wringer at the cleaning port and on the same side as the cleaning port. A baffle plate is installed at the rear of the wringer. The baffle plate blocks the liquid scraped off by the wringer. Under the action of the baffle plate, the scraped liquid flows back from the squeezing side of the wringer to the wiping cloth and re-wets the wiping cloth.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper surface of the wringer at the cleaning port is angled downwards, and the liquid blocked by the baffle plate can quickly flow back onto the mop cloth under the action of the inclined surface.

[0009] Furthermore, the water bucket is located on the upper side of the mop bucket body, and the drain outlet of the water bucket is located in the middle of the mop bucket body; the drain valve includes a valve stem and an elastic element, the elastic element applies a force to the valve stem to push the valve stem to move inward into the water bucket, the sealing ring of the valve stem does not seal the drain outlet, and the liquid can be discharged from the drain outlet or discharged through the drain channel connected to the drain outlet.

[0010] Furthermore, a swing rod is hinged to the outside of the water tank. The swing rod abuts against the protruding end of the valve stem. Pushing the swing rod can drive the valve stem to move synchronously and open the drain valve.

[0011] Furthermore, it includes a cleaning seat having the cleaning port and the squeezing port, and a wringer is movably disposed on the cleaning seat, the wringer being able to move obliquely or rotate to change the squeezing gap.

[0012] Furthermore, the cleaning port and the squeezing port face opposite directions, and the cleaning seat is rotatably equipped with a roller positioned between the cleaning port and the squeezing port, with the cleaning port and the squeezing port sharing the same roller.

[0013] Furthermore, it includes a cleaning port fixing seat, and the cleaning port fixing seat and the cleaning seat cooperate to form an inclined guide rib or inclined track, and the water squeezer moves along the inclined guide rib or inclined track.

[0014] Furthermore, it includes a wringer fixing seat, and the wringer fixing seat and the cleaning seat cooperate to form an inclined guide rib or inclined track, and the wringer moves along the inclined guide rib or inclined track; and a flow guide channel is provided at the rear of the wringer at the wringer, which guides the liquid to the side away from the clean water tank.

[0015] Furthermore, the water bucket has extension sections on both sides, forming recesses for placing the mop; and the extension sections also have skirts that separate the cleaning opening and the wringing opening.

[0016] Furthermore, a raised section is provided at the bottom of the mop bucket body below the wringing opening.

[0017] The outstanding and beneficial technical effects of this utility model compared to the prior art are:

[0018] 1. This utility model employs a two-stage watering method to clean the mop head and cleaning cloth entering the cleaning port: The first stage involves a drain valve at the bottom of the water tank; when the mop head enters the cleaning port, the drain valve opens, allowing clean water to flow directly from the water tank onto the cleaning surface. The second stage involves a wringer with a baffle plate; as the mop head moves up and down in the cleaning port, the liquid scraped off by the wringer is blocked by the baffle plate and flows back onto the cleaning cloth, re-wetting it. In other words, the first stage of watering is located in the middle, and the second stage is located at the top, achieving multiple watering effects with the same output. The reciprocating squeezing of the wringer further enhances the cleaning effect on the mop and cleaning surface.

[0019] 2. The mop bucket of this utility model includes a cleaning port and a wringing port, and a wringer is provided in both the cleaning port and the wringing port; the mop moving back and forth in and out of the cleaning port will trigger the drain valve, and the drain valve will discharge clean water. Therefore, the cleaning port uses the continuously flowing clean water to repeatedly squeeze and clean the wiping cloth; the mop moving back and forth in and out of the wringing port will not trigger the drain valve. Therefore, the wringing port uses the wringer to repeatedly squeeze the wiping cloth dry.

[0020] 3. This utility model adopts an independent cleaning seat. The cleaning spout wringer, the wringer handle wringer, and the rollers are all integrated and installed on the cleaning seat. The cleaning seat is then fixed to the bucket lid or mop bucket body. Both wringers can move or rotate obliquely to change the squeezing gap. This allows the wringer to squeeze the wiping cloth while the mop is inserted into the mop bucket, and to slide obliquely upwards while the mop is moving away from the bucket, with little or no squeezing of the wiping cloth. The movable wringer design makes it easier for the user to lift the mop upwards, requiring less effort.

[0021] 4. The water bucket of this utility model has extension sections on both sides, which form concave cavities for placing the mop. These concave cavities define the position below the cleaning port and increase the capacity of the water bucket. Furthermore, the extension sections are provided with skirts inward, which separate the cleaning port and the wringing port. The skirts are made of elastic thin walls, so that even if the mop touches the skirts backward, it will not cause damage to the surface of the mop. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Figure 1-13 As shown:

[0037] A mop bucket includes a bucket body 1 and a lid 10. A cleaning port 11 and a wringing port 12 are provided on the top of the bucket body 1, and a wringer is installed in both the cleaning port 11 and the wringing port 12. A clean water bucket 5 is installed inside the bucket body 1, located to one side of the cleaning port 11. A drain port 50 is provided at the bottom of the clean water bucket 5, and a drain valve is installed in the drain port 50. When the mop is inserted into the cleaning port 11, the drain valve 3 is opened, and the liquid in the clean water bucket is discharged from the drain port or the drain valve and poured onto the wiping cloth. When the mop is inserted into the wringing port, it cannot contact the drain valve. The mop can wring the wiping cloth dry by moving the mop in and out of the wringing port. In other words, the user cleans the inserted mop and wiping cloth with water through the cleaning port and wrings the inserted mop and wiping cloth dry repeatedly through the wringing port. This application does not specify the mop. Flat mops are common market products, and the mop is inserted into the mop bucket and cleaned by reciprocating with the wringer. This is also a simple technology in the industry. Therefore, the mop part is not described in detail. The drain valve 3 is located below the wringer at the cleaning port and on the same side as the cleaning port. Therefore, while the wringer 21 at the cleaning port is reciprocating to clean the wiping cloth, the drain valve 3 also sprays clean water onto the wiping cloth at the same time. A baffle 211 is provided at the rear of the wringer 21 at the cleaning port. The baffle 211 blocks the liquid scraped off by the wringer 21. Under the action of the baffle 211, the scraped liquid flows back from the squeezing side of the wringer to the wiping cloth and re-wets the wiping cloth. As the mop moves in and out of the cleaning inlet, the drain valve sprays clean water onto the wiping cloth. The wringer with a baffle returns the liquid squeezed out of the wiping cloth to the cloth, creating a multi-position spray that makes the cloth wetter and improves cleaning results. The wringer with a baffle also reuses the liquid by spraying the upper part of the wiping cloth, ensuring that the entire cloth is wetted.

[0038] The upper surface of the cleaning spout wrench 21 is angled downwards. Due to the inclined surface, the liquid blocked by the baffle plate 211 can quickly flow back onto the mop cloth. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the surface of the wringer is tilted at an angle of 'a'. By tilting the wringer, the liquid squeezed out by the wringer will quickly flow back onto the wiping cloth.

[0039] The water bucket 5 is located on the upper side of the mop bucket body 1, and the drain outlet 50 of the water bucket is located in the middle of the mop bucket body 1. Therefore, the liquid discharged from the drain valve flows to the middle of the mop cloth inserted into the water bucket. The drain valve 3 includes a valve stem 31 and an elastic element. The elastic element applies a force to the valve stem 31 as it extends through the water bucket 5, pushing the valve stem to move inward toward the water bucket 5. The sealing ring 311 of the valve stem does not seal the drain outlet 50, allowing liquid to be discharged from the drain outlet or through a drainage channel connected to the drain outlet. Preferably, a swing rod 34 is hinged to the outside of the water bucket 5. The swing rod 34 abuts against the protruding end of the valve stem. Pushing the swing rod 34 can cause the valve stem 31 to move synchronously and open the drain valve 3. The rotation of the swing rod pushes the valve stem to move laterally, thereby opening the drain valve 3. Preferably, a drain element 33 is fitted inside the drain outlet 50 of the water tank. The valve stem 31 and the elastic element are positioned at the drain element 33. A plug 32 can also be provided to seal one side of the drain channel, or the plug can be opened to access the drain channel for maintenance. The drain element 33 has various shapes. Preferably, the drain element 33 has at least one row of horizontal drain holes, allowing for rapid wetting of the wiping cloth. The drain valve 3 has a simple structure and low production cost. The drain element 33, valve stem 31, and elastic element are sequentially fitted together, and then the plug 32 is sealed. The elastic element abuts between the valve stem 31 and the plug 32. The elastic element is preferably a spring 39 or a soft rubber component.

[0040] The system includes a cleaning seat 2, which has a cleaning port 11 and a squeezing port 12. Two wringers are correspondingly and movably mounted on the cleaning port 11 and squeezing port 12 of the cleaning seat 2. The wringers can move obliquely or rotate to change the squeezing gap. By integrating the two wringers and rollers onto the cleaning seat 2, assembly is convenient for manufacturers. The cleaning port 11 and squeezing port 12 face opposite directions. A roller 23 is rotatably mounted on the cleaning seat 2 between the cleaning port 11 and squeezing port 12. The cleaning port 11 and squeezing port 12 share the same roller 23, which saves costs.

[0041] The system includes a cleaning port fixing seat 219, which, together with the cleaning seat 2, forms an inclined guide rib or inclined track. The cleaning port wringer 21 moves along the inclined guide rib or inclined track. The cleaning port fixing seat 219 facilitates assembly for the manufacturer; the wringer 21 is first placed on the cleaning port fixing seat 219, and then the cleaning port fixing seat 219 is locked onto the cleaning seat 2. Because the limiting inclined track is formed by the mutual cooperation between the cleaning port fixing seat and the cleaning seat, it can be used as follows... Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the inclined guide rib 218 on the cleaning seat cooperates with the limiting groove 212 of the wringer; the first protruding rib 213 on the wringer cooperates with the inclined track 2191 of the cleaning port. Multiple inclined tracks or inclined guide ribs provide multiple position limits, making the movement of the wringer more stable.

[0042] The system includes a wringer nozzle fixing seat 229. The wringer nozzle fixing seat 229 and the cleaning seat 2 cooperate to form an inclined guide rib or inclined track. The wringer nozzle wringer 22 moves along the inclined guide rib or inclined track. Furthermore, a flow guide channel 221 is provided at the rear of the wringer nozzle wringer 22, which guides the liquid to the side away from the clean water bucket. This allows the wastewater to flow onto the inner wall of the mop bucket body and flow down the bucket wall, reducing liquid splashing. The wringer nozzle fixing seat 229 facilitates assembly for manufacturers. The wringer nozzle wringer 22 is first placed on the wringer nozzle fixing seat 229, and then the wringer nozzle fixing seat 229 is locked onto the cleaning seat 2. Because the limiting inclined track is formed by the cooperation between the wringer nozzle fixing seat and the cleaning seat, it can be used as follows... Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the second convex rib 2221 of the squeezing port inclined guide rib 222 cooperates with the squeezing port inclined track 2291; the squeezing port inclined guide rib 222 and the squeezing port inclined track 2291 on the water squeezer cooperate, and multiple inclined tracks or inclined guide ribs provide multiple position limits, making the movement of the water squeezer more stable.

[0043] The water bucket 5 has extension sections 51 on both sides, which form concave cavities for placing the mop. These concave cavities define the position below the cleaning port and increase the capacity of the water bucket. Furthermore, the extension sections are provided with skirts 52 inward, which separate the cleaning port 11 from the wringing port 12. The skirts 52 are elastic and thin-walled, so that even if the mop touches the skirt backward, it will not cause damage to the surface of the mop.

[0044] The bottom of the mop bucket body 1 is provided with a raised part 18 below the wringing opening, and a handle 19 is provided on the outside of the mop bucket body. The raised part 18 can be provided below both the wringing opening and the cleaning opening, because the sewage will fall to the lower part of the mop bucket body, so providing a raised part reduces the contact of the inserted mop with sewage.

[0045] 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.
