Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cleaning tools, and in particular relates to a wringing cleaning structure for a flat mop. Background Technology
[0002] A self-squeezing flat mop typically includes a mop handle and a flat mop head movably connected to the lower end of the handle. The mop handle also has a wringer that slides up and down along the handle. The wringer has a wringing opening for the flat mop head to pass through, and a wringing element is installed within the wringing channel. This element can be a scraper, wringing roller, wringing protrusion, etc. The flat mop head can be inserted into the wringing opening. Once the flat mop head enters the wringing opening, the wringer moves back and forth by pushing and pulling it, causing the wringer to move back and forth and wringing the water out of the mop head through the wringing element. Traditional self-squeezing mops do not have a cleaning function.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN217610928U discloses a wringer and mop, comprising a main body with a container section connected to a pump head. A shaping frame is mounted on the main body and is slidably installed thereon. The pump head is pressed by sliding the shaping frame, which has a perforated pattern. Detergent is added to the container section, and the pump head pumps the detergent out through the perforated pattern, extruding it onto the floor in a perforated form. This eliminates the need for additional cleaning agent spray, improving cleaning efficiency.
[0004] However, in the above structure, the mop pull-out cleaning and mop cleaning with detergent are two relatively independent steps. Detergent cleaning is not integrated into the mop pull-out cleaning process, and the cleaning and operation convenience of the mop need to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a flat mop with a reasonable structure that can perform cleaning, rinsing and wringing operations on the wiped object within a single water-squeezing channel, in light of the existing technology described above.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a wringing and cleaning structure for a flat mop, including a wringing frame body with a swiping channel for the mop head to pass through; a swiping component, installed on the wringing frame body, for squeezing and scraping the wiping material on the mop head passing through the swiping channel; characterized in that: it also includes a cleaning box, which has an open cleaning cavity for containing cleaning material, and a box cover is detachably connected to the open part of the cleaning cavity. The box cover is opened to allow the cleaning material to enter and exit from the open part of the cleaning cavity. The cleaning box is provided with a transfer channel for sending the cleaning material to the wiping material on the mop head entering the swiping channel. The wringing frame body has an installation cavity, and the cleaning box is installed in the installation cavity.
[0007] Further improvements include a cleaning box that can be raised and lowered relative to the mounting cavity and positioned. When the cleaning box is lowered to its working position, it is positioned so that the transfer channel can contact the cleaning material on the mop head entering the wringing channel. When the cleaning box is raised to its initial position, it is positioned so that the transfer channel moves away from the cleaning material on the mop head entering the wringing channel. This structure ensures that the transfer channel only transfers the cleaning material from the cleaning box to the cleaning material on the mop head during cleaning operations. When the transfer channel is not in contact with the cleaning material, it automatically switches to rinsing and wringing operations, making it more user-friendly.
[0008] To ensure smooth lifting and lowering of the cleaning box, a ribbed guide structure is provided between the outer wall of the cleaning box and the inner wall of the mounting cavity to guide the lifting and lowering of the cleaning box.
[0009] To ensure the cleaning box is installed correctly, a first shoulder is provided on the inner wall of the mounting cavity, and a second shoulder is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning box. When the cleaning box is lowered to the working position, the first shoulder blocks the second shoulder to prevent the cleaning box from descending further. During assembly, as long as the cleaning box is lowered until the first shoulder blocks the second shoulder and the cleaning box cannot descend further, it indicates that the installation is in place.
[0010] To facilitate the lifting and lowering of the cleaning box, the extrusion frame body is equipped with a driving component for lifting and lowering the cleaning box. The driving component is constrained within the extrusion frame body and can slide left and right. A linkage structure is provided between the cleaning box and the driving component, so that the sliding of the driving component drives the lifting and lowering of the cleaning box. The driving component and the cleaning box can be connected by a gear and rack lifting structure, a lever structure, or other similar methods.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the linkage structure, the aforementioned linkage structure includes a guide groove on the side wall of the cleaning box and a drive column on the drive component. The drive column is placed within the guide groove and can slide along the guide groove. The sliding of the drive component causes the drive column to be positioned at different positions within the guide groove, thereby driving the cleaning box to rise and fall. This linkage structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and has good stability. Of course, other linkage methods, such as gear and rack transmission, can also be used.
[0012] Preferably, the guide groove has an upper horizontal groove, a lower horizontal groove, and an inclined groove. The upper horizontal groove is located above the lower horizontal groove and is spaced apart horizontally. The inner ends of the upper and lower horizontal grooves are connected by the inclined groove. The drive column slides along the inclined groove to the upper horizontal groove, and the cleaning box descends to the working position. The drive column then slides along the inclined groove to the lower horizontal groove, and the cleaning box rises to the initial position. When the cleaning box is subjected to a force perpendicular to the direction of the cleaning box from the squeeze roller, the horizontal arrangement of the upper and lower horizontal grooves provides a locking function, preventing the drive column from being subjected to lateral forces. The drive component remains in its original position, and can only be driven by operating the drive component, resulting in better working stability.
[0013] To ensure a balanced and stable output of cleaning material, a transfer roller is provided at the bottom opening of the cleaning box. This transfer roller rotates around its own axis to scrape the cleaning material and carry it out. The transfer roller forms the transfer channel and is driven by a mop head moving within the water-spreading channel. One side of the transfer roller contacts the cleaning material, and the other side contacts the wiping material. The cleaning material is preferably cleaning soap. The transfer roller is driven by the wiping material sliding within the water-spreading channel, causing it to rotate around its own axis, thereby scraping the cleaning soap in the cleaning box and carrying the scraped-off soap to the wiping material. All wiping materials contacted by the transfer roller are covered with cleaning soap.
[0014] As a specific structure of a transfer component, the aforementioned transfer component is a transfer roller installed at the bottom opening of the cleaning box. The transfer roller can rotate around its own axis to scrape the cleaning soap. The transfer roller is driven to rotate by a mop head that moves within the water rinsing channel.
[0015] Preferably, one end of the lid is inserted into the cleaning box or connected to the cleaning box via a connecting piece, and the other end of the lid is connected to the cleaning box via a flexible latch. Inserting one end of the lid into the cleaning box allows the lid to be removed entirely, while connecting one end of the lid to the cleaning box via a connecting piece ensures the lid remains attached to the cleaning box and is less likely to be lost.
[0016] To facilitate mold design and component assembly, the extrusion frame body has a base and a handle. The handle is located on the base and extends upward. The mounting cavity and water-slicking channel are located on the base. The base consists of a base and a pressure cap. The pressure cap is snapped onto the base, and the water-slicking component is mounted on the pressure cap.
[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this flat mop are as follows: The cleaning structure, through the design of the cleaning box, enables cleaning, rinsing, and wringing of the object within a single water-spinning channel. Specifically, open the lid, insert the cleaning agent through the opening, and then close the lid. During cleaning, rinse the object with water, and the squeezing mechanism moves back and forth. The transfer channel delivers the cleaning agent from the cleaning box to the object on the mop head, which enters the water-spinning channel. The mop head moves back and forth through the water-spinning channel, and the squeezing mechanism combines the cleaning agent with water to deeply clean the object. After multiple cleaning cycles, wring the mop dry. No further rinsing is performed, and the transfer channel no longer delivers cleaning agent to the object. The mop head continues to move back and forth through the water-spinning channel, and the squeezing mechanism repeatedly squeezes and rubs the object to thoroughly dry it, similar to the working principle of traditional self-spinning mops. Replacing the cleaning agent is also convenient; simply open the lid again to replace the cleaning agent through the opening of the cleaning box. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0030] like Figures 1-11 The figure shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
[0031] A wringing and cleaning structure for a flat mop, comprising:
[0032] The squeezing body 1 has a water-slicking channel D for the mop head 2 to pass through.
[0033] The water-squeezing component 3 is installed on the squeezing frame body 1 to squeeze and scrape the wiping material 4 on the mop head 2 that passes through the water-squeezing channel D. In this embodiment, the water-squeezing component 3 is a scraper.
[0034] The cleaning box 6 has an open cleaning cavity Q for containing cleaning material 10. A cover 6a is detachably connected to the open end of the cleaning cavity Q. One end of the cover 6a is inserted into the cleaning box 6 or connected to the cleaning box 6 via a connecting piece, and the other end of the cover 6a is connected to the cleaning box 6 via a flexible latch 6a1. The cover 6a is opened to allow the cleaning material 10 to enter and exit through the open end of the cleaning cavity Q. The cleaning box 6 has a transfer channel for delivering the cleaning material 10 to the wiping agent 4 on the mop head 2, which enters the water rinsing channel D. The extrusion frame body 1 has an installation cavity 1a, and the cleaning box 6 is installed in the installation cavity 1a.
[0035] The cleaning box 6 can be raised and lowered relative to the mounting cavity 1a and can be positioned. When the cleaning box 6 is lowered to the working position, it can be positioned and the transfer channel can contact the wiping material 4 on the mop head 2 that enters the water rinsing channel D. When the cleaning box 6 is raised to the initial position, it can be positioned and the transfer channel leaves the wiping material 4 on the mop head 2 that enters the water rinsing channel D.
[0036] A ribbed guide structure is provided between the outer wall of the cleaning box 6 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 1a to guide the lifting and lowering of the cleaning box 6. The guide groove 8a in the ribbed guide structure is provided on one of the outer wall of the cleaning box 6 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 1a, and the guide rib 8b in the ribbed guide structure is provided on the other of the outer wall of the cleaning box 6 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 1a.
[0037] The inner wall of the mounting cavity 1a is provided with a first shoulder 9a, and the outer wall of the cleaning box 6 is provided with a second shoulder 9b. When the cleaning box 6 is lowered to the working position, the first shoulder 9a blocks the second shoulder 9b to prevent the cleaning box 6 from lowering further.
[0038] The extrusion frame body 1 is provided with a driving component 5 for driving the cleaning box 6 to rise and fall. The driving component 5 is constrained within the extrusion frame body 1 and can slide left and right. A linkage structure is provided between the cleaning box 6 and the driving component 5, so that the sliding of the driving component 5 drives the cleaning box 6 to rise and fall.
[0039] The linkage structure includes a guide groove 61 on the side wall of the cleaning box 6 and a drive column 51 on the drive member 5. The drive column 51 is placed in the guide groove 61 and can slide along the guide groove 61. The sliding of the drive member 5 causes the drive column 51 to be placed in different positions in the guide groove 61, thereby driving the cleaning box 6 to rise and fall. The guide groove 61 has an upper horizontal groove 611, a lower horizontal groove 612 and an inclined groove 613. The upper horizontal groove 611 is located above the lower horizontal groove 612 and is spaced apart on the left and right. The inner end of the upper horizontal groove 611 and the inner end of the lower horizontal groove 612 are connected by the inclined groove 613. When the drive column 51 slides along the inclined groove 613 to the upper horizontal groove 611, the cleaning box 6 descends to the working position. When the drive column 51 slides along the inclined groove 613 to the lower horizontal groove 612, the cleaning box 6 rises to the initial position.
[0040] A transfer roller 7 is provided at the bottom opening of the cleaning box 6. The transfer roller 7 rotates around its own axis to scrape the cleaning substance 10 and carry it out. The transfer roller 7 forms the transfer channel. The transfer roller 7 is driven to rotate by the mop head 2 that moves in the water rinsing channel D.
[0041] The extrusion frame body 1 has a base part 11 and a handle part 12. The handle part 12 is provided on the base part 11 and extends upward. The mounting cavity 1a and the water-slicking channel D are provided on the base part 11. The base part 11 is composed of a base 111 and a pressure cover 112. The pressure cover 112 is snapped onto the base 111. The water-slicking component 3 is installed on the pressure cover 112.
[0042] The working process and principle of this embodiment are as follows:
[0043] Cleaning operations, such as Figures 1-5As shown, open the lid 6a, put the cleaning substance 10 into the opening of the cleaning box 6, and then close the lid 6a; slide the sliding drive 5 and drive column 51 along the inclined groove 613 to the upper horizontal groove 611, the cleaning box 6 descends to the working position, and the transfer roller 7 can contact the wiping material 4 on the mop head 2 passing through the water rinsing channel D; reciprocately push the extruder body 1, the transfer roller 7 is driven by the wiping material 4 sliding back and forth in the water rinsing channel D and rotates around its own axis, and the rotating transfer roller 7 scrapes the cleaning substance 10 (cleaning soap) in the cleaning box 6 and brings it to the wiping material 4. The wiping material 4 contacted by the transfer roller 7 can cover the cleaning substance 10. After reciprocatingly pushing the extruder body 1, the cleaning is completed.
[0044] Rinsing and wringing operations, such as Figures 6-9 As shown, the reverse sliding limiter 5 and the drive column 51 slide along the inclined groove 613 to the lower horizontal groove 612. The cleaning box 6 rises to the initial position. The transmission roller 7 cannot contact the wiping material 4 on the mop head 2 passing through the wiping channel D. The squeezing frame body 1 is pushed back and forth, and the mop head 2 passes through the wiping channel D back and forth. The wiping component 3 can apply a large wiping force to the wiping material 4, and fully squeeze the wiping material dry. The working principle is the same as that of a traditional wringer.
[0045] Replacing the cleaning substance 10 is also very convenient. Simply open the lid 6a again to replace the cleaning substance 10 through the opening of the cleaning box 6.
