Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a mop bucket. Background Technology

[0002] CN206080445U discloses a mop bucket for wringing and rinsing a flat mop, comprising a bucket body having a wringing area and a rinsing area located in two different positions. The bucket body is equipped with a squeezing device that slides relative to the flat mop head, thereby squeezing the wiping material on the mop head. The squeezing device includes a squeezing frame with a squeezing opening for the flat mop to pass through. The squeezing opening contains a squeezer that squeezes the wiping material on the flat mop head. The squeezing frame may have a water channel extending to the rinsing area, through which water squeezed by the squeezer flows to the rinsing area during wringing.

[0003] Its drawbacks are as follows: In order to prevent water from splashing when it is squeezed out of the flat mop and flows through the water channel to the washing area, a baffle plate is usually required above the squeezer. There are two ways to set up the baffle plate: one is to form the baffle plate and the squeezer frame as one piece. In this case, the forming of the squeezer frame is more complicated and the installation of the squeezer is also more troublesome; the other is to separate the baffle plate and the squeezer frame. In this case, it is necessary to increase the investment in molds and also to add the steps of installing the baffle plate and the squeezer frame, which is not a reasonable solution. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of existing mop buckets for wringing out flat mops, this utility model provides a mop bucket for wringing out flat mops that can prevent splashing during wringing out and has a simple and reasonable structure.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a mop bucket for squeezing water from a flat mop, including a bucket body, the bucket body having a squeezing area, a squeezing device provided at the upper end of the squeezing area, the squeezing device including a squeezing frame, a squeezing plate provided on the squeezing frame, one side of the squeezing plate being a squeezing side, the squeezing side being able to squeeze water from the flat mop inserted into the squeezing area.

[0006] The extrusion plate is disposed on the upper surface of the extrusion frame, thereby exposing the extrusion plate;

[0007] The upper surface of the extrusion plate is provided with water-guiding ribs extending from the extrusion side to the other side. There are several water-guiding ribs, and each water-guiding rib is parallel to the others. Adjacent water-guiding ribs form water-guiding channels so that the water squeezed out by the flat mop is discharged from the squeezing area along the water-guiding channels and the extrusion plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the distance D between adjacent water guide bars is equal, with D = 1-5 mm.

[0009] Furthermore, the extrusion frame below the extrusion plate is provided with a receiving plate for receiving the extrusion plate, and the extrusion plate rests against the receiving plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the extrusion plate is rotatably connected to the extrusion frame, and a limiting mechanism is provided between the extrusion frame and the extrusion plate to limit the rotation angle of the extrusion plate. Under the limitation of the limiting mechanism, the extrusion plate can rotate upward to a first position and downward to a second position.

[0011] Furthermore, when the extrusion plate rotates downward to the second position, the extrusion plate is simultaneously restricted by the limiting mechanism and the receiving plate. When the extrusion plate rotates upward to the first position and downward to the second position, it is tilted downward so that the squeezed water can flow smoothly out along the water guide channel between the water guide ribs.

[0012] Furthermore, the receiving plate extends beyond the dewatering area.

[0013] Furthermore, the other side of the extrusion plate opposite to the extrusion side is a connecting side, and the two ends of the connecting side are provided with rotating pins. The extrusion plate is rotatably connected to the extrusion frame through the rotating pins.

[0014] The limiting mechanism includes limiting pins at both ends of the extrusion side of the extrusion plate. The extrusion frame is provided with an arc-shaped limiting groove corresponding to the limiting pin. The limiting pin is located in the limiting groove. When the extrusion plate rotates to the upper end of the limiting groove where the limiting pin reaches, the extrusion plate is located in the first position. When the extrusion plate rotates to the lower end of the limiting groove where the limiting pin reaches, the extrusion plate is located in the second position.

[0015] Furthermore, the extrusion frame includes an opening through which a flat mop passes, and the extrusion side of the extrusion plate extends into the opening;

[0016] When the extrusion plate is rotated upward to the first position, the portion of the extrusion side extending into the opening decreases; when it is rotated downward to the second position, the portion of the extrusion side extending into the opening increases.

[0017] Furthermore, the extrusion frame is also provided with a guide mechanism for guiding the mop plate of the flat mop inserted into the opening.

[0018] The guiding mechanism includes a mounting block and a rotatable wheel mounted on the mounting block. The upper surface of the extrusion frame is provided with a groove, and the front sidewall of the groove has a wheel opening that extends vertically to the upper end of the front sidewall. The mounting block is embedded in the groove, and the wheel enters the wheel opening, so that part of the wheel enters the opening and is opposite to the extrusion plate.

[0019] Furthermore, the barrel also includes a washing area, which is arranged side by side with the squeezing area and the two are not connected to each other.

[0020] A cleaning rack is provided above the cleaning area. The cleaning rack has a cleaning opening for a flat mop to pass through. A cleaning plate is provided on the cleaning rack, and one side of the cleaning plate extends into the cleaning opening.

[0021] Furthermore, the cleaning rack is also provided with a second guiding mechanism for guiding the mop plate of the flat mop inserted into the cleaning port.

[0022] The second guiding mechanism includes a second mounting block and a second wheel rotatably mounted on the second mounting block. The upper surface of the cleaning rack is provided with a second groove. The front sidewall of the second groove has a second wheel opening that extends vertically to the upper end of the front sidewall. The second mounting block is embedded in the second groove, and the second wheel enters the second wheel opening, so that part of the second wheel enters the cleaning opening and is opposite to the cleaning plate.

[0023] A first insertion mechanism is provided between the mounting block and the groove, and a second insertion mechanism, different from the first insertion mechanism, is provided between the second mounting block and the second groove.

[0024] Furthermore, the cleaning rack is also equipped with a water baffle located in front of the cleaning plate, and the water baffle has hollow holes.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: water guiding ribs are provided on the upper surface of the squeezing plate, thereby forming a water guiding channel between adjacent water guiding ribs so that the water squeezed out by the flat mop is discharged from the squeezing area along the water guiding channel and the squeezing plate. Due to the guiding effect of the water guiding channel, the squeezed water will not splash. Therefore, the squeezing plate can be exposed after installation, and a water baffle is no longer needed.

[0040] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0041] Reference Figures 1-14 A mop bucket for wringing out water from a flat mop includes a bucket body 1 with a wringing area 2. A squeezing device 3 is provided at the upper end of the wringing area 2. The squeezing device 3 includes a squeezing frame 4 with a squeezing plate 5. One side of the squeezing plate 5 is a squeezing side 10, which can squeeze water out of a flat mop 6 inserted into the wringing area 2. The flat mop 6 includes a mop handle 7 and a mop plate 8. At least one side of the mop plate 8 is provided with a cleaning agent. The lower end of the mop handle 7 is movably connected to the mop plate 8, allowing them to rotate relative to each other to a squeezing state where the mop handle 7 and mop handle 8 are substantially parallel. The flat mop 6, in the squeezing state, moves up and down in the wringing area 2 of the bucket body, thereby squeezing and wringing out water from the cleaning agent through the squeezing side 10 of the squeezing plate 5.

[0042] The extrusion plate 5 is disposed on the upper surface of the extrusion frame 4, thus exposing the extrusion plate 5. The upper surface of the extrusion plate 5 is provided with water-guiding ribs 9 extending from the extrusion side 10 to the other side. There are several water-guiding ribs 9, and each water-guiding rib 9 is parallel to each other. Adjacent water-guiding ribs 9 form water-guiding channels so that the water squeezed out by the flat mop during wringing is discharged from the wringing area 2 along the water-guiding channels and the extrusion plate 5.

[0043] To ensure that the water guiding channel has a good water guiding effect, the distance D between adjacent water guiding ribs 9 is equal, D=1-5mm.

[0044] In one embodiment, a receiving plate 11 for receiving the extrusion plate 5 is provided on the extrusion frame below the extrusion plate 5. The extrusion plate 5 rests against the receiving plate 11. When the flat mop 6 presses down to squeeze water, the extrusion plate 5 is subjected to a downward force, and the extrusion plate 5 is supported by the receiving plate 11, thereby preventing the extrusion plate 5 from deforming.

[0045] In one embodiment, the squeezing plate 5 is rotatably connected to the squeezing frame 4 so that the flat mop can wring water more smoothly. During the up-and-down movement of the flat mop while wringing water, the squeezing plate 5 is rotated by the wiping material. A limiting mechanism is also provided between the squeezing frame 4 and the squeezing plate 5 to limit the rotation angle of the squeezing plate. Under the limitation of the limiting mechanism, the squeezing plate 5 can rotate upward to a first position and downward to a second position.

[0046] When the squeezing plate 5 rotates downward to the second position, it is simultaneously restricted by the limiting mechanism and the receiving plate 11. Furthermore, when the squeezing plate 5 rotates upward to the first position and downward to the second position, it tilts downward to allow the squeezed water to flow smoothly through the water-guiding channels between the water-guiding ribs 9. In one embodiment, the receiving plate 11 extends beyond the squeezing area, so that the water squeezed out by the flat mop can ultimately be guided out of the squeezing area 2 through the receiving plate.

[0047] In one embodiment, the specific structural arrangement of the extrusion plate 5 being rotatably connected to the extrusion frame 4 is as follows: the other side of the extrusion plate 5 opposite to the extrusion side 10 is the connection side, and the two ends of the connection side are provided with rotating pins 12, and the extrusion plate 5 is rotatably connected to the extrusion frame 4 through the rotating pins 12.

[0048] In one embodiment, the limiting mechanism is structured as follows: the limiting mechanism includes limiting pins 13 at both ends of the extrusion side 10 of the extrusion plate 5, and the extrusion frame 4 is provided with an arc-shaped limiting groove 14 corresponding to the limiting pins 13. The limiting pins 13 are located in the limiting groove 14. When the extrusion plate 5 rotates to the upper end of the limiting pin 13, the extrusion plate 5 is located in the first position. When the extrusion plate 5 rotates to the lower end of the limiting pin 13, the extrusion plate 5 is located in the second position.

[0049] In one embodiment, the squeezing frame 4 includes an opening 15 through which a flat mop passes. The squeezing side 10 of the squeezing plate 5 extends into the opening 15. When the flat mop is wringing out water, it is inserted into the opening 15 and moved up and down to squeeze out the water. When the squeezing plate 5 rotates upward to the first position, the portion of the squeezing side 10 extending into the opening 15 decreases. That is, when the flat mop is pulled upward, the wiping material drives the squeezing plate 5 to rotate upward. Since the portion of the squeezing side 10 extending into the opening 15 decreases, the squeezing force of the squeezing plate 5 on the wiping material is smaller, which can prevent the mop bucket from being lifted by friction. When the squeezing plate 5 rotates downward to the second position, the portion of the squeezing side 10 extending into the opening 15 increases. That is, when the flat mop is pressed downward, the wiping material drives the squeezing plate 5 to rotate downward. Since the portion of the squeezing side 10 extending into the opening 10 increases, the squeezing force of the squeezing plate 5 on the wiping material increases, thus ensuring the water-squeezing effect.

[0050] In one embodiment, the pressing frame 5 is further provided with a guide mechanism for guiding the mop plate of the flat mop inserted into the opening, so as to make the up-and-down movement of the flat mop 6 smoother. In one embodiment, the guide mechanism is specifically structured as follows: the guide mechanism includes a mounting block 16 and a rotatable wheel 17 mounted on the mounting block 16. The upper surface of the pressing frame 4 is provided with a groove 18. The front side wall of the groove 18 is provided with a wheel opening 19 that extends vertically to the upper end of the front side wall. The mounting block 16 is embedded in the groove 18, and the wheel 17 enters the wheel opening 19, so that part of the wheel 19 enters the opening 15 and is opposite to the pressing plate 5. The wheel 19 plays a guiding role in the up-and-down movement of the mop plate 8, that is, during the up-and-down movement of the flat mop, the mop plate 8 is more able to rest on the wheel 19, so that the up-and-down movement is smoother. The mounting block 16 may also be provided with a buckle 20, and the inner side wall of the groove 18 is provided with a locking slot. After the mounting block 16 is embedded in the groove 18, the buckle 20 is engaged in the locking slot, thereby achieving positioning.

[0051] In one embodiment, the bucket body further includes a washing area 21, which is arranged side by side with the wringing area 2 and is not connected to each other. The flat mop is washed in the washing area 21.

[0052] In one embodiment, a cleaning rack 22 is provided above the cleaning area 21, and the cleaning rack is usually integrated with the squeezing rack 4. The cleaning rack 22 has a cleaning opening 23 for a flat mop to pass through, and a cleaning plate 24 is provided on the cleaning rack 22. One side of the cleaning plate 24 extends into the cleaning opening 22. When the flat mop is squeezed, it is inserted into the cleaning opening 23 and moves up and down to scrape and clean the object to be wiped through the cleaning plate 24.

[0053] In one embodiment, the cleaning rack 22 is further provided with a second guiding mechanism for guiding the mop plate of a flat mop inserted into the cleaning port. The second guiding mechanism includes a second mounting block 25 and a second wheel 26 rotatably mounted on the second mounting block 25. The upper surface of the cleaning rack 22 is provided with a second groove 27. The front side wall of the second groove 27 has a second wheel opening that extends vertically to the upper end of the front side wall. The second mounting block 25 is embedded in the second groove 27, and the second wheel 26 enters the second wheel opening, so that the second wheel 26 partially enters the cleaning port 23 and is opposite to the cleaning plate 24. The second mounting block 25 may also be provided with a buckle, and the inner side wall of the second groove 27 is provided with a locking slot. After the second mounting block 25 is embedded in the second groove 27, the buckle is engaged in the locking slot, thereby achieving positioning.

[0054] Typically, markings such as "squeeze dry" or "squeeze water" are made on the mounting block 16 to guide the operator to perform the squeezing operation in the squeezing area 2, while markings such as "wash" are made on the second mounting block 25 to guide the operator to perform the washing operation in the washing area 21. However, during assembly, workers are not always clear about which side of the barrel is the washing area and which side is the squeezing area, and since the guiding mechanism and the second guiding mechanism have essentially the same structure, it is easy to install the guiding mechanism and the second guiding mechanism incorrectly. To avoid this situation, in one embodiment, a first insertion mechanism is provided between the mounting block 16 and the groove 18, and a second insertion mechanism, different from the first insertion mechanism, is provided between the second mounting block 25 and the second groove 27. In this way, the mounting block 16 cannot be inserted into the second groove 27, and the second mounting block 25 cannot be inserted into the groove 18, thus ensuring correct installation. Specifically, in the figure of the embodiment, the first insertion mechanism is in the form of: the back of the mounting block 16 has two insertion ribs 28, and the side wall of the groove 18 has two corresponding insertion grooves 29; the second insertion mechanism is in the form of: the back of the second mounting block 25 has a second insertion rib 30, and the side wall of the second groove 27 has a corresponding second insertion groove 31.

[0055] In one embodiment, the cleaning rack 22 is also provided with a baffle plate 32 located in front of the cleaning plate 24. The baffle plate 32 has perforated holes. When the water is scraped out during cleaning, it is flushed onto the baffle plate 32 and buffered by the perforated holes to prevent water splashing and also to a certain extent to filter the water.
