Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cleaning product structure technology, specifically referring to a mop bucket that separates clean water and sewage. Background Technology
[0002] Cleaning is an essential part of daily life, and making cleaning more effective and faster is the current development direction of cleaning tools. Flat mops consist of a hinged mop handle and a flat mop head. The cleaning agent is fixed to the head via a clip, adhesive, or snap-on method. During use, the cleaning agent adheres completely to the floor, making cleaning very convenient. Furthermore, the cleaning agent is easy to remove or place in a bucket for washing, making them popular. However, the ease of use and cleaning of flat mops have always been manufacturing challenges. Currently, the water in the clean water zone of most flat mops on the market cannot be guaranteed to be completely clean during washing, easily turning into dirty water after repeated use. They also cannot guarantee the separation of clean and dirty water, and their internal structure is more complex.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN202221296896.9 discloses a mop cleaning device, including a cleaning bucket with an internal cleaning chamber for cleaning or wringing the mop. The cleaning chamber includes a separate clean water zone and a wastewater zone. A water supply mechanism, located in the clean water zone, is used to clean the mop with clean water. The water supply mechanism includes a transmission component and a water outlet component. When the mop is being cleaned, it cooperates with the transmission component to drive the water outlet component to discharge water. A squeegee mechanism, located in the wastewater zone, is used to wring the mop. The cleaning bucket contains an annular water tank that surrounds its inner wall, and the annular water tank contains the clean water zone. The top of the cleaning bucket, within the annular water tank, has an inlet for the mop to be inserted for cleaning or wringing. This product achieves clean water rinsing, providing a better cleaning environment for the mop. However, this product also has some shortcomings: after multiple mop washes, wastewater accumulates in the mop bucket. While the product uses a raised section at the bottom of the mop bucket to prevent the mop from contacting the wastewater, this method does not solve the fundamental problem. There is a need in the market for a mop bucket that allows the mop to remain in contact with wastewater during cleaning and wringing. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mop bucket that separates clean water from sewage and stores sewage in a sewage storage area.
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:
[0006] A mop bucket with clean water and wastewater separation includes a mop bucket body and a bucket lid. The top of the mop bucket body is provided with a cleaning port and a wringing port, and a wringer is provided in both the cleaning port and the wringing port. The mop bucket body has independent clean water zone, dry zone and wastewater storage zone. The clean water zone is located on one side of the cleaning port, and the cleaning port and the wringing port are located above the dry zone. The mop enters the dry zone after being inserted into the cleaning port or the wringing port.
[0007] The clean water area is equipped with a liquid extraction device that can draw the liquid in the clean water area upwards and let it flow out from the bucket lid or wringer. The mop can be inserted into the wringing port without contacting the liquid extraction device. The mop can wring the wiping cloth dry by moving the mop in and out of the wringing port. The mop moves in and out of the cleaning port, driving the liquid extraction device to draw the liquid upwards and pour it onto the wiping surface.
[0008] The rear of the water squeezer is provided with a drain outlet or drainage channel, and the liquid squeezed out by the water squeezer is guided to the sewage storage area through the drain outlet or drainage channel.
[0009] Furthermore, the liquid extraction device includes a drive wheel, which is located on the same side of the cleaning port as the water wringer; the wiping material of the mop comes into contact with the drive wheel and drives the drive wheel to rotate, thereby driving the liquid extraction device to extract liquid upward.
[0010] Furthermore, it includes a manifold seat, which has a chamber. The piston is slidably disposed in the chamber. The inlet and outlet of the chamber are equipped with one-way valves. The outlet of the chamber is connected upwards to the outlet of the bucket lid or the water squeezer via a pipeline. One end of the transmission rod is hinged to the piston, and the other end is hinged to the side wall of the transmission wheel. The transmission wheel is not the central axis of the transmission wheel, and the rotation of the transmission wheel can drive the piston to reciprocate within the chamber.
[0011] Furthermore, the device includes a manifold sealing seat, which has an inlet located at the manifold sealing seat position. A ball is placed inside the cavity of the inlet, and the ball can seal the inlet under the action of gravity. A snap-fit sleeve is fixed at the outlet position of the chamber, and a ball is placed inside the snap-fit sleeve. Under the action of gravity, the ball can seal the snap-fit sleeve. The snap-fit sleeve is located above the ball at the inlet, and the snap-fit sleeve prevents the ball from falling out of the cavity of the inlet.
[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the drive wheel that contacts the wiping cloth is provided with teeth or anti-slip parts, and the flexible wiping cloth drives the drive wheel to rotate through friction.
[0013] 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.
[0014] Furthermore, the cleaning seat or bucket lid is provided with a water storage tank in the horizontal direction. Clean water is pumped into the water storage tank. When the water storage tank is full, the clean water overflows from the water storage tank and flows to the drying area.
[0015] Furthermore, a recessed cavity is provided at the position of the bucket lid, and a transparent cover is provided above the recessed cavity. The transparent cover and the recessed cavity form a water flow position, and a horizontal water outlet groove is provided on the side of the cleaning port in the recessed cavity; the water storage tank is located in the recessed cavity, and several drain outlets are provided around the water storage tank.
[0016] Furthermore, it includes an inner tub, which is fitted or fixed below the cleaning seat and located inside the sewage storage area; the inner tub is equipped with a drain pipe, and the sewage storage area is equipped with a drain outlet, with a gap between the drain pipe and the drain outlet, and a plug simultaneously seals the drain pipe and the drain outlet. When the plug is opened, the liquid in both the inner tub and the sewage storage area can flow out from the drain outlet.
[0017] Furthermore, the cleaning seat is provided with inclined ribs and / or inclined tracks, and the wringer moves along the inclined ribs and / or inclined tracks.
[0018] The outstanding and beneficial technical effects of this utility model compared to the prior art are:
[0019] 1. This utility model's mop bucket is divided into three areas: a clean water area, a drying area, and a wastewater storage area. The mop is located in the drying area during both washing and wringing. The clean water area is equipped with a liquid extraction device, which is driven by the mop inserted into the cleaning port to draw clean water upwards and spray it onto the surface being wiped. Specifically, the mop bucket has a drain outlet or drainage channel at the rear of the wringer. The liquid squeezed out by the wringer is guided through the drain outlet or drainage channel to the wastewater storage area, thus ensuring dry cleanliness. Even if a small amount of liquid splashes out, it will not soak the mop. The three areas are independent and perform their respective functions, allowing the mop to be cleaned with clean water without contacting wastewater, ensuring the mop's cleaning effect.
[0020] 2. In this utility model, the mop and the drive wheel are driven by friction. This utilizes the softness and high friction of the mop surface, and the drive wheel will not damage the mop surface during rotation.
[0021] 3. This utility model features a water storage tank at the water outlet. The pumped liquid fills the tank before flowing out. This ensures a more even, horizontal flow of water, effectively rinsing the mop and the surfaces being wiped. Furthermore, the water storage tank slows down the water flow. The transparent cover allows the user to observe the flowing water, enhancing the user's visual experience.
[0022] 4. This utility model uses a plug to simultaneously block the sewage storage area and the inner tank. When the plug is opened, both the sewage storage area and the inner tank can be discharged from the drain outlet. The plug connects the two to form a whole, improving the stability of the inner tank.

[0040] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Figure 1-13 As shown:
[0041] A mop bucket with clean water and wastewater separation includes a bucket body 1 and a lid 10. A cleaning opening 12 and a wringing opening 11 are provided on the top of the bucket body 1, and both the cleaning opening 12 and the wringing opening 11 are equipped with wringers. The bucket body 1 has independent clean water zones 13, drying zones 31, and wastewater storage zones 14. Figure 6 As shown, a baffle is provided in the middle of the mop bucket body, which divides the mop bucket body into a clean water area and a wastewater storage area. Alternatively, a separate clean water tank can be installed inside the mop bucket as the clean water area. The clean water area 13 is located on one side of the cleaning port, and the cleaning port 12 and the wringing port 11 are located above the drying area 31. After the mop is inserted into the cleaning port or the wringing port, it enters the drying area.
[0042] A liquid extraction device 4 is installed in the clean water zone 13. This device draws liquid upwards from the clean water zone 13 and allows it to flow out from the lid or wringer. The mop, inserted into the wringer opening 11, cannot contact the liquid extraction device 4. The mop's movement in and out of the wringer opening allows for the drying of the wiping cloth. A drain outlet 2a or a drain channel 2b is provided at the rear of the wringer. The liquid squeezed out by the wringer flows through the drain outlet or drain channel into the wastewater storage zone 14, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the drying zone 31. The mop only moves in and out of the drying zone, which does not accumulate wastewater, thus keeping the mop clean. Figure 11-13As shown, a drain outlet 2a is provided below the squeezing area. After the wastewater is scraped off by the squeezing nozzle 22 at the squeezing outlet, it flows directly into the wastewater storage area through the drain outlet. A drainage channel 2b is provided at the cleaning outlet. The direction of water flow is shown by the dotted line in the figure. The squeezing nozzle 21 at the cleaning outlet is provided with a squeezing nozzle drain outlet 211. The liquid flowing out of the squeezing nozzle drain outlet 211 enters the wastewater storage area through the drainage channel 2b. Preferably, the channels from the cleaning outlet into the wastewater storage area and the channels from the squeezing outlet into the wastewater storage area are independent of each other and are not connected to avoid liquid backflow into the drying area through the drain channel.
[0043] The liquid extraction device 4 includes a drive wheel 41, which is located on the same side of the cleaning port as the wringer 21. The mop reciprocates in and out of the cleaning port 12, and the mop's wiping material comes into contact with the drive wheel 41, driving the drive wheel 41 to rotate. The rotation of the drive wheel drives the liquid extraction device to extract liquid upwards and pour it onto the mop's wiping material. Preferably, it includes a manifold 42, which contains a chamber 491. A piston 45 is slidably disposed within the chamber 491. The chamber's inlet and outlet are equipped with one-way valves, and the chamber's outlet is connected upwards to the outlet position of the bucket lid or wringer via a pipe 44. One end of the drive rod 43 is hinged to the piston 45, and the other end is hinged to the side wall of the drive wheel 41. Figure 11 As shown, the hinge position of the transmission wheel to the transmission rod is not the central axis of the transmission wheel. The rotation of the transmission wheel can drive the piston to reciprocate within the chamber. Preferably, a protective cover is provided on the outside of the transmission wheel 41 to protect it. The transmission rod 43 can be driven to reciprocate directly by a single transmission wheel 41, or the transmission wheel can be connected to a gear set, and the output gear of the gear set can drive the transmission rod to reciprocate.
[0044] The device includes a manifold sealing seat 49, which has a water inlet. A bead 46 is placed inside the cavity 491 of the water inlet. Water can flow out when the bead 46 moves upward. Under the action of gravity, the bead can seal the water inlet. A snap-fit sleeve 47 is fixed at the water outlet of the chamber. The snap-fit sleeve 47 has the bead 46 inside. Preferably, a sealing plate 48 is placed above the snap-fit sleeve 47. The bead 46 is located in the chamber formed between the sealing plate 48 and the snap-fit sleeve 47. Water can flow out when the bead 46 moves upward. Under the action of gravity, the bead can seal the snap-fit sleeve. The snap-fit sleeve is located above the bead at the water inlet and prevents the bead from falling out of the cavity of the water inlet.
[0045] The surface of the drive wheel 41 that contacts the wiping cloth is provided with teeth or anti-slip parts, and the flexible wiping cloth drives the drive wheel to rotate through friction.
[0046] The device includes a cleaning seat 2, which has a cleaning port 12 and a squeezing port 11. A wringer is movably mounted on the cleaning seat 2, and the wringer 2 can move obliquely or rotate to change the squeezing gap. The cleaning seat is provided with oblique ribs and / or oblique tracks, and the wringer moves along the oblique ribs and / or oblique tracks. Figure 11 and 12 As shown, at the cleaning port position, the cleaning seat is provided with an inclined rib 106 and an inclined track 107, the limiting shafts on both sides of the wringer are located in the inclined track, and the guide groove 212 of the wringer abuts against the inclined rib; at the water squeezing port position, the cleaning seat is provided with an inclined track 107, and the limiting shafts on both sides of the wringer are located in the inclined track.
[0047] The cleaning seat or lid has a horizontally arranged water storage tank 104. Clean water is drawn into the water storage tank 104. When the water storage tank 104 is full, the clean water overflows from the water storage tank and flows to the drying area 104. Preferably, the lid 10 has a recessed cavity a, and a transparent cover 102 is provided above the recessed cavity a. The transparent cover and the recessed cavity form a water flow position. A horizontal water outlet 103 is provided on the side of the cleaning port in the recessed cavity. The water storage tank 104 is located in the recessed cavity a, and several drain outlets 105 are provided around the perimeter of the water storage tank. After the clean water overflows the water storage tank, it can flow out evenly and with a wide horizontal width, thereby effectively rinsing the wiped items. Moreover, the water storage tank can slow down the water flow, making the liquid flow more even. Furthermore, the user can see the water flowing out through the transparent cover, improving the user's visual experience.
[0048] The system includes an inner tub 3, which is fitted or fixed below the cleaning seat 2 and is located inside the sewage storage area 14. The inner tub 3 is equipped with a drain pipe 32, and the sewage storage area 14 is equipped with a drain outlet. A gap 33 is provided between the drain pipe and the drain outlet.
