Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning products technology, specifically a cleaning tool. Background Technology

[0002] In a narrow sense, cleaning tools refer to tools with cleaning functions; in a broad sense, cleaning tools refer to all items used in cleaning operations.

[0003] Existing cleaning tools typically consist of a grip for holding and a cleaning part for cleaning. These parts are not detachable. When the cleaning part becomes worn out, the grip, which is still in good condition, must be discarded along with it, leading to a waste of resources. Most cleaning tools are difficult to clean thoroughly inside and out, posing a health risk of bacterial growth and odor. Furthermore, most cleaning tools on the market are made of plastic and other chemically synthesized materials that are difficult to degrade. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a cleaning tool that reduces resource waste, simplifies cleaning, and is environmentally friendly.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A cleaning tool, comprising:

[0009] A support body, wherein the support body has a three-dimensional structure and can be held by the human hand;

[0010] A cover, the cover being made of a deformable material and detachably fitted onto the support body so that the cover can be supported and shaped by the support body, the cover including a cleaning part for cleaning objects, the cleaning part being a planar structure.

[0011] Preferably, the support body has at least one gripping block on the side away from the cleaning part. After the support body is gripped by a hand, the gripping block can limit the hand and prevent the hand from moving along the axial direction of the gripping surface.

[0012] Preferably, the grip block is a ring structure, which prevents the hand from moving away from the support after the fingers pass through the grip block.

[0013] Preferably, the end of the gripping block away from the support is provided with a suction cup, which allows the cleaning tool to be fixed on a smooth surface by negative pressure adsorption.

[0014] Preferably, the side of the support body near the gripping block is provided with a first anti-slip structure to increase the friction between the support body and the cover body. The first anti-slip structure includes at least one of protrusions or grooves.

[0015] Preferably, the side of the support away from the gripping block is provided with a second anti-slip structure to increase the friction between the support and the cover.

[0016] Preferably, the support is made of a deformable material, and the second anti-slip structure is a plurality of through grooves, so that the support can be easily deformed at the through grooves.

[0017] Preferably, the multiple through grooves are arranged intersecting each other and can form a texture to increase the friction of the second anti-slip structure.

[0018] Preferably, the second anti-slip structure consists of multiple rows of intersecting columns, with the through groove formed between adjacent rows of columns.

[0019] Preferably, the support is made of a deformable material, and the cover has an opening on the side away from the cleaning part. After the support is deformed and closed, it can enter the interior of the cover through the opening. The size of the opening is smaller than the size of the support when it is unfolded, so as to prevent the support from detaching from the cover.

[0020] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] In practical use, the cover is simply fitted onto the support, allowing you to hold the support and clean objects through the cleaning section of the cover. Since the cover and support are detachable and combinable, a new cover can be replaced when worn out, while the old cover is discarded and the support can be reused, reducing resource waste and replacement costs. Because the cover and support are detachable, they can be thoroughly cleaned separately, preventing bacterial growth and odors caused by inadequate cleaning. Furthermore, both the support and cover are made of environmentally friendly materials, achieving biodegradability and compostability in nature, and avoiding the release of microplastics.

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] See appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 This utility model discloses a cleaning tool, including a support body 1 and a cover body 2. The support body 1 has a three-dimensional structure and can be held by the human hand. The cover body 2 is made of a deformable material and is detachably fitted onto the support body 1 so that the cover body 2 can be supported and shaped by the support body 1. The cover body 2 includes a cleaning part 21 for cleaning objects, and the cleaning part 21 has a planar structure.

[0036] In actual use, the cover 2 is fitted onto the support 1, allowing the support 1 to be held and the object to be cleaned through the cleaning part 21 of the cover 2. Since the cover 2 and the support 1 are detachable and combinable, the cover 2 can be replaced with a new one after it becomes worn out. Only the old cover 2 needs to be discarded, while the support 1 can still be reused, thereby reducing the waste of resources and the cost of replacement. Furthermore, since the cover 2 and the support 1 are detachable, they can be cleaned separately to avoid bacterial growth and odor caused by inadequate cleaning. Moreover, the materials of the support 1 and the cover 2 can be made of green and environmentally friendly materials, achieving the environmental goal of being biodegradable and compostable in nature and not releasing microplastics.

[0037] It should be noted that the aforementioned "grip" includes at least one grip in the length direction, width direction, and thickness direction, so that the cleaning tool can be held in the hand to clean the object.

[0038] It should be noted that this application does not limit the shape, size, material, color, or other parameters of the support body 1 and the cover 2. Therefore, they can be flexibly selected according to actual needs. For example, the shape of the support body 1 and the cover 2 can be designed to be narrow in the middle and wide on both sides, so that the hand can hold the narrow middle part of the cleaning tool and be limited by the wide sides. This prevents the hand from sliding relative to the cleaning tool through its own physical structure. For example, the grip part of the cleaning tool can be designed according to the size of the user's hand, and the cleaning part can be designed according to the size of the corresponding item to be cleaned. The material of the cleaning tool can be designed specifically for different usage scenarios such as disposable, reusable, environmentally friendly, and wear-resistant. The color of the cleaning tool can be flexibly selected according to the user's preferences.

[0039] Furthermore, common cleaning tools often use chemically synthesized materials, such as plastics. These materials have disadvantages such as being difficult to degrade and releasing microplastics during use, which are detrimental to human health and environmental protection. For example, chemical foam cotton, cleaning tools made from this material are usually thick, making it difficult to thoroughly clean food residue and juices seeping into the cotton pores, and also difficult to drain naturally, posing a health risk of harboring bacteria and emitting odors. Another example is silicone. Silicone brushes on the market are usually used independently, but they often lack sufficient friction, are easy to slip out of the hand, and do not easily foam the cleaning agent, resulting in poor cleaning effect. As a result, silicone brushes are not practical or user-friendly and are not widely accepted. Therefore, the support 1 and cover 2 in this embodiment are made of plant fibers or other green materials, so that the cleaning tool is biodegradable and compostable in nature during use and after disposal, and will not release microplastics. The support 1 and cover 2 can be disassembled for cleaning, making it easier to clean thoroughly. The cleaning part 21 can utilize the rough surface of plant fibers to further enhance the friction, and the cleaning part 21 is designed with a fine mesh structure, making it easier to foam and achieve better cleaning effect.

[0040] The green materials mentioned above do not refer to materials that are green in color, but rather to materials that coexist harmoniously with the ecological environment and are beneficial to human health in the processes of raw material extraction, product manufacturing and use, recycling, and waste treatment.

[0041] Regarding the foaming mentioned above, when the cleaning surface 21 has a fine mesh structure, when surfactants and water flow through these structures, the rubbing action accelerates the forced separation of surfactants and water into finer liquid films or droplets, while air is also broken into microbubbles. Under the mechanical action of repeated friction, the higher the mesh density, the more times the liquid and air are separated, resulting in smaller foam diameters and more uniform distribution, thus exhibiting a rich foaming effect.

[0042] See appendix Figure 1 In order to enhance the anti-slip effect of the cleaning tool relative to the human hand, the following design is made in this embodiment: Specifically, at least one grip block 3 is provided on the side of the support body 1 away from the cleaning part 21.

[0043] Through the design of the above structure, after the support body 1 is held by the hand, the grip block 3 can limit the hand and prevent the hand from moving along the axial direction of the grip surface, thereby increasing the firmness of the hand grip.

[0044] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific number or placement of the gripping blocks 3. To achieve the above functions, when there is only one limiting protrusion 31, it can be placed in the middle of the support body 1 and fixed between the fingers during use. When there are two or more limiting protrusions 31, they can be placed on both sides of the hand to limit the hand's position. Alternatively, all the limiting protrusions 31 can be placed in the corresponding finger gaps for gripping and fixing by the fingers. Another option is to place some of the limiting protrusions 31 on both sides of the hand and others in the corresponding finger gaps, simultaneously limiting both sides of the hand and the fingers. (See appendix.) Figure 9 In order to further enhance the anti-slip effect of the cleaning tool relative to the human hand, the following design was made in this embodiment. Specifically, the grip block 3 is a ring structure, and the fingers can pass through the grip block 3.

[0045] Furthermore, since the grip block 3 is a ring structure, the grip block 3 should have at least one perforation 31, and each perforation 31 should allow at least one finger to pass through.

[0046] With the design of the above structure, not only can the grip block 3 be clamped between the fingers, but fingers can also be inserted into the perforation 31. This makes the cleaning tool not only prevent the hand from moving along the axial direction of the grip surface, but also prevent the hand from moving away from the support body 1, thereby further increasing the firmness of the hand grip and improving the anti-slip effect.

[0047] See appendix Figure 1 In order to facilitate the storage of the cleaning tool, the following design is made in this embodiment: Specifically, a suction cup 4 is provided at the end of the gripping block 3 away from the support body 1.

[0048] The design of the above structure allows the cleaning tool to be fixed to objects with smooth surfaces using negative pressure adsorption, facilitating storage and secure placement. Furthermore, this method allows the cleaning tool to drain quickly while suspended in the air, further preventing bacteria and odors caused by water seepage.

[0049] Furthermore, the cross-sectional size of the suction cup 4 can be made larger than that of the gripping block 3 to prevent the hand from sliding away from the support 1, thereby further enhancing the anti-slip effect and making the hand grip the cleaning tool more firmly and less likely to slip off.

[0050] Furthermore, the volume of the suction cup 4 can be increased so that the suction cup 4 can generate more negative pressure, thereby enhancing the suction force of the suction cup 4 on the object.

[0051] To facilitate cleaning, the following design was implemented in this embodiment: specifically, the support 1 is made of a deformable material.

[0052] The design of the above structure allows the cleaning tool to deform according to the shape of the object, making it suitable for more scenarios, covering a larger effective cleaning area, and more convenient to use.

[0053] It should be noted that this application does not limit the specific material of the support body 1, and it can be flexibly selected according to actual needs. For example, the support body 1 can also be made of a rigid material so as to apply force to the cleaning tool, thereby cleaning some stubborn stains more easily. In addition, when the support body 1 is made of a deformable material, it can be made of silicone, which is safer, more environmentally friendly and durable.

[0054] See appendix Figure 3 and appendix Figure 5 - Appendix Figure 7 In order to prevent relative sliding between the support body 1 and the cover body 2, which would affect the cleanliness of the object, the following design is made in this embodiment. Specifically, the side of the support body 1 near the grip block 3 is provided with a first anti-slip structure 5. The type of the first anti-slip structure 5 includes at least one of protrusions or grooves.

[0055] Through the design of the above structure, the support 1 can increase the friction between itself and the cover 2 through the first anti-slip structure 5, preventing the cover 2 from sliding back and forth during the cleaning process and affecting the cleaning.

[0056] Through the design of the above structure, the first anti-slip structure 5 can be composed of multiple protrusions, multiple grooves, or both. All of the above structures can achieve the effect of increasing friction. In this embodiment, multiple protrusions are selected to form the first anti-slip structure 5, and the protrusions are basically dot-shaped.

[0057] See appendix Figure 4 - Appendix Figure 6 and appendix Figure 8 In order to further enhance the friction between the support body 1 and the cover body 2, the following design is made in this embodiment: Specifically, the side of the support body 1 away from the grip block 3 is provided with a second anti-slip structure 6.

[0058] Through the above structural design, the support 1 can increase its anti-slip area through the second anti-slip structure 6, thereby further increasing the friction between the support 1 and the cover 2, and thus more effectively preventing the cover 2 from sliding back and forth during the cleaning process and affecting the cleaning.

[0059] It should be noted that the anti-slip principle of both the first anti-slip structure 5 and the second anti-slip structure 6 is to increase the friction coefficient of the support body 1, thereby increasing the frictional resistance while keeping the contact force between the support body 1 and the cover body 2 unchanged, thus enhancing the anti-slip effect.

[0060] See appendix Figure 4 - Appendix Figure 6 and appendix Figure 8 The structural types of the first anti-slip structure 5 and the second anti-slip structure 6 can also be designed specifically according to the material of the support body 1. Specifically, the support body 1 is made of a deformable material, and the second anti-slip structure 6 consists of multiple through grooves 61.

[0061] Through the design of the above structure, since the support body 1 is made of a deformable material and the second anti-slip structure 6 consists of multiple through grooves 61, the thickness of the support body 1 is thinner at the through grooves 61, making it easier to deform. This design of the second anti-slip structure 6 not only increases the friction of the support body 1 but also enhances its deformation capability. In addition, after the cleaning tool is used and the amount of residual water is the same, the height of the column 62 supports the cleaning part 21, increasing the space for air circulation and making it easier for the cover 2 to drain and dry.

[0062] Furthermore, this embodiment also incorporates the following design: specifically, multiple through slots 61 are arranged intersecting each other and can form a texture.

[0063] Through the design of the above structure, multiple through grooves 61 can be combined to form different patterns, thereby increasing the friction of the second anti-slip structure 6 and also increasing the aesthetics of the support 1.

[0064] It should be noted that this application does not limit the shape of the texture, the extension direction of the groove 61, or the spacing between two adjacent grooves 61. Therefore, the friction of the second anti-slip structure 6 can be adjusted by adjusting the shape of the texture, the extension direction of the groove 61, and the spacing between two adjacent grooves 61. For example, the texture shape can be designed as wavy, cross-shaped, rectangular, circular, or various patterns. For instance, compared to circular textures, rectangular textures have more sharp edges, resulting in greater friction and better anti-slip properties. Compared to grooves 61 parallel to the wiping direction of the cleaning tool, grooves 61 perpendicular to the wiping direction of the cleaning tool have greater friction and better anti-slip properties. Compared to textures with a large spacing between two adjacent grooves 61, cleaning tools with a smaller spacing between two adjacent grooves 61 will also have increased friction, thereby enhancing anti-slip performance.

[0065] Furthermore, the following design is also made in this embodiment: Specifically, the second anti-slip structure 6 is composed of multiple rows of intersecting columns 62, and a through groove 61 is formed between two adjacent rows of columns 62.

[0066] It should be noted that the above-mentioned "arrangement" includes horizontal arrangement, vertical arrangement, zigzag arrangement, and curved arrangement, so that the second anti-slip structure 6 can form different textures.

[0067] See appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 To illustrate how the cover 2 is fitted onto the support 1, the following design is implemented in this embodiment: Specifically, the support 1 is made of a deformable material, and the cover 2 has an opening 22 on the side away from the cleaning part 21. The size of the opening 22 is smaller than the size of the support 1 when it is unfolded.

[0068] With the above structural design, the support body 1 can enter the interior of the cover 2 through the opening 22 after it is deformed and closed. Since the size of the opening 22 is smaller than the size of the support body 1 after it is unfolded, the support body 1 can be prevented from detaching from the cover 2.

[0069] It should be noted that this application does not limit the method of detachable connection between the support body 1 and the cover body 2. The above structure is only an example. Therefore, the support body 1 and the cover body 2 can also be detachably combined by Velcro, zippers or other methods or structures.

[0070] Furthermore, both the support body 1 and the cover 2 can be designed as narrow in the middle and wide at both sides. In this case, after the support body 1 is folded into the middle of the cover 2, the width of the cover 2 increases as it extends to both sides, making it easier for the support body 1 to extend. When the cover 2 is connected to and fitted onto the support body 1, if the support body 1 is not folded, the end of the support body 1 will be obstructed by the structure of the cover 2 itself when it moves toward the opening 22 in the middle of the cover 2, preventing the support body 1 from accidentally detaching from the cover 2. In general, through the design of the above structure, the support body 1 can be easily put in but not easily put out, that is, the combination with the cover 2 is more stable and reliable.
