Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cloth mop technology, and in particular to a foldable cloth mop. Background Technology

[0002] Mops are frequently used in homes, hotels, schools, and large factories for quick cleaning. A mop generally consists of a mop handle, a mop head, and a connector that connects the handle to the mop head. Flat mops are widely used due to their wide cleaning range, ease of placement, and practicality. However, with frequent use, the mop head accumulates a lot of dirt. Since flat mops are mostly made of cotton, cleaning the mop head is difficult, requiring replacement with a new mop head to continue using the mop. Covered flat mops require the mop head to be attached to the mop board, and existing covered flat mops require manual disassembly and replacement of the mop head, which is a complicated process and makes them inconvenient to use overall. Utility Model Content

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] See Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a foldable mop cover, including a fixed mop plate 1 and a movable mop plate 2. The movable mop plate 2 is hinged to the side of the fixed mop plate 1, and a mop handle 3 is connected to the upper end of the fixed mop plate 1. The mop handle 3 is equipped with a drive switch and has a hollow structure. The fixed mop plate 1 is equipped with a locking mechanism, which includes a drive rod 5 disposed inside the mop handle and a locking member 6 hinged to the fixed mop plate 1. One end of the locking member 6 has a locking part 7 that engages with the movable mop plate 2. The drive rod 5 is connected to the drive switch. Pressing down the drive switch can drive the drive rod 5 to press down, causing the locking member 6 to tilt upward and disengage from the movable mop plate 2. At this time, the movable mop plate 2 falls and bends, allowing the mop handle to be folded. The cloth is detached or mounted on the fixed mop plate 1 and the movable mop plate 2. In this embodiment, the drive switch is a movable handle 4 sleeved on the mop handle 3, which can move up and down along the mop handle 3. Specifically, the locking member 6 is T-shaped and has a locking part 7 at the end. The end of the movable mop plate 2 has a locking groove 8 that cooperates with the locking part 7. The end of the drive rod 5 has a limiting post 9. The mop handle 3 has a waist-shaped limiting groove 10. The limiting post 9 is placed in the limiting groove 10 and passes through the movable handle 4. The limiting post 9 is fixed to the movable handle 4 so that the movable handle 4 can drive the locking mechanism to move up and down. The limiting post 9 cooperates with the limiting groove 10 to limit the lifting distance of the movable handle 4 and the locking mechanism.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mop handle 3 is hinged to the fixed mop plate 1 through a hollow outer cross joint 15.

The outer cross joint 15 and the inner cross joint 11 are concentrically arranged. The inner cross joint 11 is horizontally hinged to the drive rod 5. The hinge shaft 12 is vertically hinged to the inner cross joint 11. The locking member 6 is horizontally hinged to the hinge shaft 12. The advantage of having the outer cross joint and the inner cross joint 11 concentrically arranged is that after the drive rod 5 is pushed down, the rotation centers of the two joints are offset, preventing the mop handle and mop head from rotating and maintaining a relatively perpendicular state. After the movable plate is inserted, the two joints return to concentricity, and the mop handle can rotate freely relative to the mop head. A torsion spring 13 is installed at the bottom of the locking member 6, and one end of the torsion spring 13 abuts against the bottom of the fixed mop plate 1. The surface of the fixed mop plate 1 is provided with a relief groove 14, and the locking member 6 is placed in the relief groove 14. When the locking member 6 is pushed up to unlock, it will pass through the relief groove 14.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that: both sides of the fixed slide plate 1 are hinged with movable slide plates 2, the locking rod mechanism includes two locking parts 6, one end of the locking parts 6 is placed in the movable slide plate 2 respectively, the front and rear ends of the hinge shaft 12 are respectively hinged with locking parts 6, and pressing down the movable handle 4 can make the movable slide plates 2 on both sides descend at the same time, so as to facilitate the installation and removal of the mop cloth.

[0036] This utility model provides a foldable mop with a cover. In its normal state, a movable mop plate is hinged to one or both sides of the fixed mop plate. By pressing down the movable handle, the drive rod can be pressed down, causing one end of the locking part to lift up and disengage from the movable mop plate, thus unlocking it. At this time, the movable mop plate hangs down naturally under gravity, making it easy to put the mop cover on the movable mop plate and the fixed mop plate or to remove the mop cover. Pressing the movable mop plate on the ground can complete the reset and locking, improving the efficiency of mop replacement.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
