Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular relates to a multifunctional cleaning tool. Background Technology

[0002] Cleaning is essential in daily life and work. There are many types of cleaning tools available, such as mops, brushes, and squeegees, each with its specific purpose and applicable scenarios. However, in practice, people often need to frequently change different cleaning tools to complete different cleaning tasks. This is not only cumbersome but also requires carrying multiple tools, taking up space and causing inconvenience to the cleaning work.

[0003] Currently, some multi-functional cleaning tools have appeared on the market, achieving multiple cleaning functions by changing different cleaning heads. However, these tools usually suffer from problems such as inconvenient cleaning head replacement, limited functional combinations, and insufficient flexibility in use. For example, some cleaning tools often only have one cleaning function at a time, meaning that multiple cleaning tools must be prepared and used in combination to thoroughly complete the cleaning task. This alternating operation is cumbersome and inefficient. Other tools, such as multi-purpose window cleaners, are often composed of a window cleaning plate with a wiping body, a squeegee, and a stick connected together. The multiple cleaning heads cannot be flexibly switched or combined, failing to fully meet diverse cleaning needs.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a multifunctional cleaning tool with a reasonable structural design, flexible and convenient use, and the ability to combine multiple cleaning functions is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0039] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 This application discloses a multifunctional cleaning tool, including a rod body 1 and a first cleaning head 2, a second cleaning head 4, and a third cleaning head 5 disposed on the rod body 1. The first cleaning head 2 is detachably connected to the rod body 1 via a connector 11 disposed at the end of the rod body 1, and extends to the side of the rod body 1. The second cleaning head 4 and the third cleaning head 5 are connected to a sleeve frame 3, extending to both sides of the rod body 1 respectively, wherein the sleeve frame 3 is rotatably disposed at one end of the connector 11 on the rod body 1.

[0041] The rod 1 includes a main body 13 and a connector 11. The main body 13 adopts a hollow tubular structure design and can be made of lightweight and high-strength materials such as aluminum alloy and plastic to ensure ease of use. It is the main support component of the entire cleaning tool and is generally in the form of a long rod or handle for the user to hold and operate, so as to clean hard-to-reach places or avoid excessive bending when cleaning the floor. The length of the main body 13 can be fixed or adjustable. The length of the fixed-length main body 13 is not much different from that of the rod of a typical household mop or broom. The adjustable-length main body 13 can be connected by a multi-section detachable rod or a telescopic rod, for example, by using nested multi-section tubes with buckles or threaded connections to achieve length adjustment. When the user needs to clean high walls or ceilings, the main body 13 can be extended to achieve a suitable operating height; when cleaning low floors or corners, the main body 13 can be shortened for flexible operation. This telescopic design not only improves the versatility of cleaning tools, but also makes them easier to store and carry.

[0042] The connector 11 is detachably connected to the end of the main body 13. It can be fixed or detachable. The fixed method allows the connector 11 to be integrally formed with the main body 13, thereby reducing production costs. The detachable method facilitates the maintenance and upgrading of the tool. For example, when the connector 11 is damaged or needs to be replaced with a different type of connector 11 to adapt to different sizes of the first cleaning head 2, the user can operate it himself, thereby reducing the replacement cost of this daily household cleaning tool and making it more acceptable to users.

[0043] The sleeve frame 3 is tubular and rotatably connected to the end of the rod 1. Specifically, the sleeve frame 3 is fitted onto the outer side of the end of the rod 1 and can rotate around the axis of the rod 1. The material of the sleeve frame 3 is similar to or the same as that of the rod 1 to ensure the strength and durability of the overall structure. For example, if the rod 1 is made of aluminum alloy, the sleeve frame 3 can also be made of aluminum alloy to ensure its compatibility and stability with the rod 1. A second cleaning head 4 and a third cleaning head 5 are fixedly connected to the sleeve frame 3, and these two cleaning heads are located on both sides of the rod 1, respectively. Figure 1Taking the perspective of [the tool] as an example, the first cleaning head 2 is a scraper, the second cleaning head 4 is a mop, and the third cleaning head 5 is a brush. The first and second cleaning heads 2 and 4 are simultaneously located on the left side of the rod 1, while the third cleaning head 5 is located on the right side of the rod 1. Using the left side of this multi-functional cleaning tool allows for simultaneous operation of both mopping and scraping, thus improving cleaning efficiency in a single cleaning operation. The sleeve frame 3 is rotatably mounted at the end of the rod 1. Rotation of the sleeve frame 3 relative to the rod 1 allows for adjustment of the cleaning head position and combination of functions, for example... Figure 1 By rotating the sleeve holder 3 180°, the third cleaning head 5 and the first cleaning head 2 can be positioned on the same side of the rod body 1, which is... Figure 2 This allows for simultaneous brushing and scraping cleaning methods. This adjustable cleaning head position mechanism enables users to quickly and easily combine different cleaning heads to achieve coordinated operation of multiple cleaning functions, based on specific cleaning needs.

[0044] Furthermore, to ensure that the sleeve holder 3 can stably maintain its position after being rotated to the appropriate location, and to prevent rotation due to external forces or vibrations during cleaning, which could affect the cleaning effect and operational safety, a locking device is provided between the sleeve holder 3 and the rod 1. Specifically, this locking device mainly consists of a spring-loaded buckle 12 located on the rod 1 and a latching hole 31 located on the sleeve holder 3. Figure 3-5 As shown, the spring clip 12 is a "V"-shaped spring piece set inside the rod body 1, with both ends protruding from the surface of the rod body 1. When the part of the spring clip 12 protruding from the surface of the rod body 1 is pressed by an external force, the spring clip 12 undergoes elastic deformation and can retract into the rod body 1. When the external force disappears, it can recover its state of protruding from the surface of the rod body 1 through its own deformation. Obviously, the setting of the spring clip 12 is not the only one. It can also be achieved by setting a spring, that is, the spring clip 12 is equipped with an elastic element such as a spring inside, or a spring is set in the rod body 1, with the spring clip 12 elastically extending out of the surface of the rod body 1 at the end in the deformation direction of the spring. When the spring clip 12 is pressed by an external force, the spring is compressed, and the spring clip 12 retracts into the rod body 1; when the external force disappears, the spring returns to its original shape, and the spring clip 12 automatically pops out under the action of the spring, returning to the protruding state.

[0045] like Figure 3 , 4As shown in Figure 6, the snap hole 31 is located on the sleeve frame 3, and its position corresponds to the part of the spring snap 12 protruding from the surface of the rod body 1. When the sleeve frame 3 rotates around the axis of the rod body 1, the snap hole 31 will rotate with the sleeve frame 3. When the sleeve frame 3 rotates to the point where the second cleaning head 4 and the first cleaning head 2 are located on the same side of the rod body 1, one end of the spring snap 12 will align with the snap hole 31 and automatically extend into the snap hole 31 under the elastic force of the spring snap 12. Through the cooperation of the spring snap 12 and the snap hole 31, the sleeve frame 3 and the rod body 1 are locked, effectively preventing the sleeve frame 3 from continuing to rotate. Figure 1 The state ensures that the second cleaning head 4 and the first cleaning head 2 remain on the same side, allowing for stable cleaning. When the user needs to rotate the third cleaning head 5 to the same side as the first cleaning head 2, simply press the spring clip 12 with your finger to retract it into the rod body 1, releasing the lock on the sleeve bracket 3. Then rotate the sleeve bracket 3; when the other end of the spring clip 12 aligns with the latch hole 31, it can extend into the latch hole 31 under the elastic force of the spring clip 12, thereby locking the sleeve bracket 3 again. Figure 2 In this state, the third cleaning head 5 and the first cleaning head 2 are located on the same side, and corresponding cleaning can be performed.

[0046] In addition, the buckle holes 31 can be set to two relatively symmetrical ones, so as to ensure that no matter which of the first cleaning head 2, the second cleaning head 4, and the third cleaning head 5 is located on the same side, both ends of the snap fastener 12 can be inserted into the two buckle holes 31 respectively, which further improves the stability of the combination of the first cleaning head 2, the second cleaning head 4, and the third cleaning head 5.

[0047] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, the connector 11 is provided with a lateral insertion part 111 extending to the side of the rod body 1 and a straight insertion part 112 extending along the axial direction of the rod body 1. The first cleaning head 2 is detachably connected to both the lateral insertion part 111 and the straight insertion part 112, so that the first cleaning head 2 can be kept in a state of lateral extension to the rod body 1 or axial extension to the rod body 1, respectively. When the first cleaning head 2 extends laterally to the rod body 1, it can be combined with the second cleaning head 4 or the third cleaning head 5 to perform a combination of two cleaning types. When the first cleaning head 2 extends axially to the rod body 1, the user can operate the rod body 1 to use the first cleaning head 2 alone to perform a single type of cleaning operation.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 8As shown, the rear end of the first cleaning head 2 is a square cylindrical portion 21. Both the lateral insertion portion 111 and the vertical insertion portion 112 are square-shaped holes, their dimensions matching the size of the cylindrical portion 21 on the first cleaning head 2. On one hand, because the four sides of the square are perpendicular to each other, when the cylindrical portion 21 of the first cleaning head 2 is inserted into the square-shaped insertion portion, the rotation of the first cleaning head 2 can be effectively restricted, thus ensuring the stability of the cleaning head during use and ensuring smooth cleaning. On the other hand, the square-shaped fit eliminates the need for the user to consider the correct orientation of the first cleaning head 2 during use, making the insertion process more convenient. Furthermore, the external dimensions of the cylindrical portion 21 are comparable to the internal dimensions of the square holes in the lateral insertion portion 111 and the vertical insertion portion 112, allowing for an interference fit between the cylindrical portion 21 and both the lateral insertion portion 111 and the vertical insertion portion 112, ensuring a stable fit and easy disassembly.

[0049] Therefore, when it is necessary to install the first cleaning head 2 on the rod body 1, there are two different installation methods to meet the diverse needs of cleaning scenarios. The first installation method is as follows: Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the first cleaning head 2 is connected to the lateral insertion part 111. In operation, the user aligns the cylindrical part 21 of the first cleaning head 2 with the square hole in the lateral insertion part 111 and then applies appropriate external force to insert it. Due to the tight fit between the cylindrical part 21 and the square hole, the first cleaning head 2 can be securely mounted on the lateral insertion part 111 and extends to the side of the rod 1. This installation method is suitable for applications where the first cleaning head 2 needs to be used in combination with the second cleaning head 4 or the third cleaning head 5, such as cleaning windows or mopping floors. The second installation method is as follows... Figure 9 As shown, the first cleaning head 2 is connected to the straight insertion part 112. Similarly, the cylindrical part 21 of the first cleaning head 2 is aligned with the square hole of the straight insertion part 112, and after being forcefully inserted, the first cleaning head 2 will extend axially towards the rod body 1. This installation method is suitable for situations where the first cleaning head 2 needs to be used alone for cleaning, such as when the first cleaning head 2 is a scraper and needs to be used to scrape water stains from windows, floors, etc. Obviously, since the first cleaning head 2 is detachably connected to the insertion part 11, the first cleaning head 2 can also be removed, thereby facilitating the use of the second cleaning head 4 or the third cleaning head 5 alone. Similarly, in order to facilitate the use of the first cleaning head 2 alone and avoid interference from the second cleaning head 4 or the third cleaning head 5, the sleeve bracket 3 can also be removed from the rod body 1, for example, by pressing the spring buckle 12 to lock the spring buckle 12 into contact with the locking hole 31, thereby removing the sleeve bracket 3 from the rod body 1.

[0050] Since cleaning tools such as scrapers, brushes, and mops are generally long and narrow for ease of cleaning, in one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 9 and 1, the length directions of the first cleaning head 2, the second cleaning head 4, and the third cleaning head 5 are parallel. This ensures that the three cleaning heads maintain a consistent orientation during use, facilitating user operation and control. It also prevents positional interference between the three cleaning heads when used individually or in combination, thus avoiding any impact on usability.

[0051] Furthermore, the first cleaning head 2, the second cleaning head 4, and the third cleaning head 5 can all be one of the three: a mop, a brush, or a squeegee. This allows each cleaning head to perform a single cleaning method such as mopping, brushing, or squeegeeing when used alone. When the first cleaning head 2 is used in combination with the second cleaning head 4 or the third cleaning head 5, if the first cleaning head 2 and the second cleaning head 4 or the third cleaning head 5 are of the same type, it can achieve a combination of two mops, two brushes, and two squeegees, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect of a single cleaning method. If the first cleaning head 2 and the second cleaning head 4 or the third cleaning head 5 are of different types, it can achieve a combination of two cleaning methods such as wiping and sweeping, wiping and squeegeeing, or squeegee sweeping, thereby further improving the cleaning effect and enriching the possibilities for user choices.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, when the second cleaning head 4 or the third cleaning head 5 is a mop, since the mop's mopping surface needs to remain in constant contact with the window, floor, or other surface to be cleaned, the second cleaning head 4 or the third cleaning head 5 is rotatably connected to the sleeve frame 3, with its rotation axis roughly in the same direction as the length of the mop. Specifically, the mop head can be connected to the sleeve frame 3 via a rotating axis, allowing the mop head to rotate around this axis. The advantage of this design is that when the mop encounters uneven ground or obstacles during cleaning, the mop head can automatically adjust its angle to better conform to the ground, improving cleaning efficiency.

[0053] This utility model's multifunctional cleaning tool, through its rational structural design, achieves detachable, rotatable, and multi-combination use of the cleaning head. It solves the problems of existing cleaning tools having limited functionality and fixed combination methods, while ensuring the stability of the cleaning head's position during both single and combined use. The combined use improves cleaning efficiency and enriches the combination options to enhance applicability, making it suitable for various cleaning scenarios such as homes, offices, and public places. It can be seen that this cleaning tool can flexibly handle various cleaning tasks, providing users with a convenient and efficient cleaning experience.
