[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PVA mop head production technology, specifically to a PVA mop head soaking and spin-drying device. Background Technology
[0002] A polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) mop is a type of mop made with polyvinyl alcohol foam. The mop head is made of PVA foam, which allows the mop to quickly absorb water and stains, making it particularly suitable for daily household cleaning.
[0003] A PVA mop is a type of mop made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) foam. The mop head is made of PVA foam, a material that allows the mop to quickly absorb water and dirt, making it particularly suitable for daily household cleaning. After molding, the PVA mop head needs to be immersed in water and then spun dry repeatedly to clean the internal chemical components and impurities. However, the water spun out during this process re-enters the sink, causing water pollution. Furthermore, insufficient spun-drying results in poor cleaning performance. Therefore, we propose a PVA mop head immersion and spin-drying device to address this deficiency in existing technology. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a device for soaking and spinning dry cotton mop heads.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a cotton mop head soaking and spin-drying device, including a support base and a water storage tank located at the upper end of the support base. The upper end of the support base is provided with a hydraulic push rod, and the push rod of the hydraulic push rod is provided with a sealing seat that passes through the water storage tank and is concentric with it. A mesh storage seat is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the sealing seat.
[0006] The upper end of the water storage tank is provided with a mounting base, and a hollow cylinder passing through the mounting base and concentric with the water storage tank is fixed through the mounting base. The inner diameter of the hollow cylinder is equal to the diameter of the sealing seat.
[0007] The upper end of the hollow cylinder is provided with a mounting bracket, and the mounting bracket is provided with a pushing component for pushing up and down and rotating.
[0008] The pushing assembly is provided with a pressing plate coaxial with the mesh storage base, and the length and width of the pressing plate are equal to the length and width of the inner cavity of the mesh storage base, respectively.
[0009] The lower end of the extrusion plate is provided with a number of air holes, and the mounting base is provided with an air supply component that discharges hot air into the extrusion plate.
[0010] The bottom outer side of the hollow cylinder is connected to a drain pipe.
[0011] Using the above technical solution, the molded PVA mop head is placed into the mesh storage seat, and the mesh storage seat on the sealing seat is moved by the hydraulic push rod to immerse it in the water stored in the water tank for water absorption. After water absorption, the mesh storage seat is moved into the hollow cylinder by the hydraulic push rod and the sealing seat is sealed to the hollow cylinder. In conjunction with the pushing component set on the mounting bracket, the extrusion plate is moved into the mesh storage seat to extrude water from the PVA mop head and drain the water from the drain pipe.
[0012] After the water is squeezed out, the push assembly drives the mesh storage seat to rotate on the sealing seat, further discharging the water. At the same time, the air supply assembly discharges hot air into the squeezing plate and out through the air holes, further discharging the water. This effectively removes the internal residual components, improves the cleaning effect, and avoids the pollution caused by the mixing of undischarged sewage with clean water during repeated immersion, which would affect the cleaning effect.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the lower end of the sealing seat has the same diameter as the push rod of the hydraulic push rod, and the water storage tank is provided with a sealing sleeve that fits and seals with the sealing seat.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing effect between the sealing seat and the water storage tank is guaranteed when the sealing seat moves, thus preventing leakage.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the upper end of the sealing seat is provided with a circular groove at the same center for the mesh storage seat to rotate.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the circular groove ensures the stability of the rotation of the mesh storage base.
[0017] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the pushing assembly includes a rotary motor located at the upper end of the mounting bracket, a loading plate located at the output shaft of the rotary motor, a hydraulic push rod II located at the lower end of the loading plate, and a connecting pipe connected to the extrusion plate located at the push rod of the hydraulic push rod II.
[0018] Using the above technical solution, the rotary motor drives the extrusion plate on the connecting pipe to rotate, and the hydraulic push rod II pushes the extrusion plate on the connecting pipe to move.
[0019] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the air supply assembly includes an annular seat rotatably connected to the outside of the connecting pipe and a heating seat located outside the mounting base. The lower end of the heating seat is connected to a booster fan, and the upper end of the heating seat is connected to the connecting pipe via a flexible hose.
[0020] Using the above technical solution, the annular seat ensures that the rotation of the connecting pipe is not affected while achieving connection. At the same time, the booster fan operates to discharge airflow into the heating seat for heating, and the hot airflow is discharged into the connecting pipe on the annular seat through the hose.
[0021] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it also includes a wastewater collection and purification tank located below the opening at the other end of the drain pipe.
[0022] Using the above technical solution, the drain pipe discharges the waste liquid into the wastewater collection and purification tank for easy purification treatment.
[0023] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, when the push rod of the hydraulic push rod is in its maximum extended state, the sealing seat and the mesh storage seat are both located inside the hollow cylinder, and the drain pipe is in contact with the upper surface of the sealing seat.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0025] This PVA mop head immersion and spin-drying device works by placing the formed PVA mop head into a mesh storage seat, and then using a hydraulic push rod to move the mesh storage seat on the sealing seat, immersing it in water stored in a water tank for water absorption. After water absorption, the hydraulic push rod pushes the mesh storage seat into a hollow cylinder, and the sealing seat fits and seals with the hollow cylinder. In conjunction with the pushing component set on the mounting bracket, the extrusion plate is pushed into the mesh storage seat to squeeze and drain the PVA mop head, causing the water to be discharged from the drain pipe.
[0026] After the water is squeezed out, the push assembly drives the mesh storage seat to rotate on the sealing seat, further discharging the water. At the same time, the air supply assembly discharges hot air into the squeezing plate and discharges through the air holes, further discharging the water. Compared with the existing technology, this method effectively discharges the internal residual components, improves the cleaning effect, and avoids the pollution caused by the mixing of undischarged sewage with clean water during repeated immersion, which would affect the cleaning effect.

[0034] The upper end of the support base 1 is fixed with a hydraulic push rod 3 by bolts. A sealing seat 4 that passes through the water storage tank 2 and is concentric with it is fixed at the push rod of the hydraulic push rod 3. A mesh storage seat 6 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the sealing seat 4 for placing the cotton mop head.
[0035] A mounting base 7 is fixed to the upper end of the water storage tank 2. A hollow cylinder 8, which passes through the mounting base 7 and is concentric with the water storage tank 2, is fixed through the mounting base 7. The inner diameter of the hollow cylinder 8 is equal to the diameter of the sealing seat 4. A mounting bracket 9 is fixed to the upper end of the hollow cylinder 8. A pushing assembly is provided on the mounting bracket 9 to push and rotate. A squeezing plate 13, which is coaxial with the mesh storage seat 6, is provided on the pushing assembly. The length and width of the squeezing plate 13 are equal to the length and width of the inner cavity of the mesh storage seat 6, respectively, and it is used to squeeze the cotton mop head to drain water.
[0036] The lower surface of the extrusion plate 13 has several equally spaced air holes 14. The mounting base 7 is equipped with an air supply component that discharges hot air into the extrusion plate 13 for drying the cotton mop head. The bottom outer side of the hollow cylinder 8 is connected to a drain pipe 19 for discharging wastewater generated during the extrusion and spin-drying process.
[0037] The lower end of the sealing seat 4 has the same diameter as the push rod of the hydraulic push rod 3, and a sealing sleeve that fits and seals with the sealing seat 4 is fixed on the water storage tank 2 to ensure the sealing effect between the sealing seat 4 and the water storage tank 2 when the sealing seat 4 moves, thus preventing leakage.
[0038] The upper surface of the sealing seat 4 is provided with a circular groove 5 for the mesh storage seat 6 to rotate, ensuring the stability of the mesh storage seat 6 rotation. The pushing assembly includes a rotary motor 10 fixed to the upper end of the mounting bracket 9. A loading plate is fixed at the output shaft of the rotary motor 10. A hydraulic push rod 11 is fixed at the lower surface of the loading plate. A connecting pipe 12 communicating with the extrusion plate 13 is fixed at the push rod of the hydraulic push rod 11, realizing the up-and-down movement and rotation extrusion function of the extrusion plate 13.
[0039] The air supply assembly includes an annular seat 15 rotatably connected to the outside of the connecting pipe 12 and a heating seat 16 fixed to the outside of the mounting base 7. A heating wire is fixed inside the heating seat 16. A booster fan 17 is connected to the lower end of the heating seat 16. The exhaust port of the booster fan 17 is connected to the heating seat 16. A hose 18 is connected between the upper end of the heating seat 16 and the connecting pipe 12 for discharging hot air into the extrusion plate 13 to achieve the drying process of the PVC mop head.
[0040] The equipment also includes a wastewater collection and purification tank 20 located below the opening at the other end of the drain pipe 19, which is used to collect and purify the wastewater discharged during the spin-drying process, thereby achieving environmentally friendly wastewater treatment.
[0041] Regarding the position and fit, when the hydraulic push rod 3 is in its maximum extended state, both the sealing seat 4 and the mesh storage seat 6 are located inside the hollow cylinder 8, and the drain pipe 19 is in contact with the upper surface of the sealing seat 4, ensuring that sewage can be discharged smoothly.
[0042] Beneficial effects and improved cleaning performance: By placing the PVA mop head in the mesh storage seat 6, the hydraulic push rod 3 drives it to immerse in the clean water in the water tank 2 for water absorption and cleaning. Then, it is squeezed to drain water and rotated to dry in the hollow cylinder 8. Combined with hot air drying, it can effectively remove chemical components and impurities inside the mop head and improve the cleaning effect.
[0043] To avoid mixing of wastewater: During the squeezing and drainage process, the wastewater is discharged into the wastewater collection and purification tank 20 through the drain pipe 19, which avoids the mixing of undischarged wastewater with clean water, ensures the quality of the cleaning water, and prevents the cleaning effect from being affected by water quality issues.
[0044] Achieving spin-drying and drying: The pushing component drives the squeezing plate 13 to squeeze and drain the cotton mop head, and further removes moisture by rotating and spin-drying. At the same time, the hot air flow discharged by the air supply component dries the mop head through the air hole 14, achieving full spin-drying and rapid drying, and improving production efficiency.
[0045] Environmental protection and resource recycling: The wastewater collection and purification pond 20 enables the wastewater generated during the spin-drying process to be collected and purified in a centralized manner, avoiding the pollution caused by the random discharge of wastewater. It also provides the possibility for the recycling and reuse of wastewater, which meets environmental protection requirements.
[0046] The system control has been expanded by equipping this utility model with a PLC-based control system to fully automate the entire soaking and drying process.
[0047] Detailed usage steps: Place a certain number of molded PVA mop heads neatly in the mesh storage seat 6, ensuring that there is an appropriate gap between the mop heads so that water and hot air can pass through evenly during the washing and drying process, thereby improving the washing and drying effect.
[0048] To start the automatic cleaning and drying cycle, press the start button on the human-machine interface. The PLC control system will start each actuator according to the preset program, and the equipment will enter the automatic cleaning and drying working cycle.
[0049] After receiving the control signal, the hydraulic push rod 3 drives the mesh storage seat 6 on the sealing seat 4 to move downwards and immerse it in the water in the water storage tank 2. The cotton mop head fully absorbs water in the water. When the preset time is reached, the hydraulic push rod 3 is controlled to push the sealing seat 4 and the mesh storage seat 6 upwards and into the hollow cylinder 8, so that the sealing seat 4 and the hollow cylinder 8 are sealed together to prevent water leakage during the subsequent squeezing and drainage process.
[0050] Under the control of the PLC, the hydraulic push rod 11 in the pushing assembly pushes the extrusion plate 13 downward to the mesh storage seat 6 to extrude water from the cotton mop head. During the extrusion process, the sewage is discharged into the wastewater collection and purification tank 20 through the drain pipe 19. The PLC controls the extrusion process according to the preset extrusion time to ensure that the water in the cotton mop head can be fully discharged.
[0051] After the squeezing and drainage are completed, the PLC controls the rotary motor 10 to start, driving the connecting pipe 12 and the squeezing plate 13 to rotate. This causes the sponge mop head in the mesh storage seat 6 to be further spun dry under the action of centrifugal force. During the spun drying process, the PLC monitors the spun drying time and speed in real time to ensure that the sponge mop head reaches the ideal degree of dryness. At the same time, the booster fan 17 in the air supply component starts, exhausting air into the heating seat 16 for heating, forming a hot airflow. The hot airflow enters the squeezing plate 13 through the hose 18, the ring seat 15, and the connecting pipe 12, and is discharged through the air hole 14 to dry the sponge mop head, accelerate the evaporation and discharge of moisture, and further improve the drying effect.
[0052] After the entire cleaning and drying process is completed, the PLC controls the hydraulic push rod 3 and the pushing assembly to move the mesh storage seat 6 out of the hollow cylinder 8. The operator takes out the dried cotton mop head for subsequent packaging and transportation. The equipment automatically replenishes water to the water storage tank 2 and purifies the sewage in the wastewater collection and purification tank 20 to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and the satisfaction of environmental protection requirements.
[0053] This PVA mop head soaking and spin-drying equipment achieves efficient cleaning, thorough spin-drying, and uniform drying of PVA mop heads. It effectively solves the problems of poor cleaning effect and wastewater mixing in traditional cleaning methods, improving the cleaning quality and production efficiency of PVA mop heads. Its reasonable sealing structure, stable extrusion and spin-drying mechanism, uniform hot airflow drying system, and complete wastewater treatment device give it significant technical advantages and good application prospects in the field of PVA mop head production. It can bring higher economic and environmental benefits to manufacturing enterprises, and promote the technological progress and sustainable development of the industry.
[0054] All electrical components mentioned in the text are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply. The main controller can be a conventional and known device such as a computer, and the existing publicly available power connection technology will not be elaborated in the text.
[0055] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
