Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flat mop technology, to self-cleaning flat mops, and particularly to a bucket-free, squeeze-type flat mop that uses a push-and-spray mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A flat mop is a tool whose mop head is generally a large flat surface. To make it possible to clean a flat mop without the need for a mop bucket, flat mops are equipped with a squeegee or wringer for scraping the mop head. Some flat mops also have a water spray function for easier cleaning.

[0003] Some patents, such as the one with authorization announcement number CN208988742U, provide a self-cleaning flat mop, which includes a mop handle, a mop board, a water storage container, a mop cloth installed on the mop board, and a wringer that can slide along the axial direction of the mop handle. The mop handle is connected to the mop board. The wringer includes a spout for the mop to enter and exit. A squeegee is provided on the side of the spout to compress the mop cloth when the mop is in the spout. The water storage container has a water outlet from which clean water flows out. A shut-off valve controls the water flow from the water outlet. When cleaning the mop, the shut-off valve opens, and the water flowing from the outlet flows to the mop cloth and / or the squeegee.

[0004] In this patent, the wiping of water by the wiper and the dispensing of water from the water storage container are operated separately, which means that the wiping and dispensing of water cannot be linked, and the cleaning process is not smooth. This not only reduces cleaning efficiency, but also increases the complexity of operation due to the switching between wiping and dispensing of water. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model addresses the problem that existing self-cleaning flat mops with water storage containers suffer from reduced cleaning efficiency and increased complexity in switching operations due to the inability to coordinate wiping and water dispensing. The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is to provide a bucket-free, squeezing-free flat mop that achieves wiping and water dispensing through sliding operation of the wiping device, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and simplifying cleaning operations.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a bucketless squeezing horizontal board mop that pushes and sprays liquid, including a mop handle, a mop head that is rotatably installed at the lower end of the mop handle, a squeegee that is slidably installed on the mop handle, and a water storage device fixed on the mop handle.

[0007] The water storage device includes a water tank, a press pump, a nozzle, and a pressure receiving component. The press pump has a pump body and a piston that is slidably connected to the pump body. The pump body is fixedly connected to the water tank. The nozzle is fixedly or integrally connected to the mop handle, the water tank, the pump body, the piston, or the pressure receiving component. The pressure receiving component is connected to the piston. When the pressure receiving component slides along the piston, the nozzle sprays water.

[0008] The squeegee is equipped with a pushing member. When the flat mop is being cleaned, the mop head is rotated to the side of the mop handle, with the bottom surface of the mop head facing the side. The squeegee is inserted into the mop head, and when the squeegee slides to clean the mop head, the squeegee can slide by contacting and pushing the pressure member through the pushing member, and the nozzle sprays water toward the bottom surface of the mop head.

[0009] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: the pushing member is rotatably mounted on the squeegee, and when the pushing member is rotated, the flat mop can avoid the pressure member during cleaning, and the rotation axis of the pushing member is parallel or perpendicular to the sliding direction of the pressure member.

[0010] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: the pushing member is slidably mounted on the squeegee, and by sliding the pushing member, the flat mop can avoid the pressure member when cleaning. The sliding direction of the pushing member is parallel to the side wall of the mop handle and perpendicular to the sliding direction of the pressure member.

[0011] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: the pushing member is slidably installed perpendicular to the side wall of the mop handle and the sliding direction of the pressure member; an elastic member is installed between the pushing member and the wiper; the elastic member elastically causes the pushing member to avoid the pressure member; and the wiper slides while pressing the pushing member; the pushing member can push the pressure member to slide.

[0012] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is that the pressure-bearing component is arranged in the same direction as the sliding direction of the piston component and the sliding direction of the wiper.

[0013] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: the wiper is provided with a clearance part, which avoids the pressure-bearing component or nozzle.

[0014] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is that the press pump, water tank and nozzle are all located outside the mop handle;

[0015] Alternatively, the water tank may be located outside the mop handle, and the press pump may be located inside the mop handle. The mop handle may have a movable opening, and the pressure-receiving component may slide within the movable opening, with the pressure-receiving component protruding from the movable opening of the mop handle.

[0016] Alternatively, the press pump and water tank may be located in the mop handle, the mop handle may have a movable opening, the pressure-receiving component may slide within the movable opening, and the pressure-receiving component may be exposed from the movable opening of the mop handle.

[0017] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: when the nozzle is connected to the pressure-bearing component, the nozzle and the pressure-bearing component are exposed at the movable port, and the piston connects the pump body and the nozzle.

[0018] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: the pump body is connected to a sealing ring for sealing and sliding with the piston, and a guide member is fixedly connected to the pump body and guides the piston in the sliding direction. The pump body is provided with an installation port that communicates with the movable port, and the installation port is located between the sealing ring and the guide member.

[0019] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: the press pump is equipped with a reset spring, a one-way valve one, and a one-way valve two. The reset spring is located in the pump body and elastically supports the piston or sealing ring. When pressed, the one-way valve one opens the water tank to the chamber, and the one-way valve two opens the chamber to the piston.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are that when the squeegee slides along the mop handle, it can push the pressure member through the pushing member, so that the pressure member slides and the nozzle sprays water. This allows the squeegee to achieve both squeegeeing and water spraying while sliding, realizing the linkage between squeegeeing and water spraying operations, making the cleaning process continuous, effectively improving the cleaning efficiency of the flat mop, and allowing squeegeeing and water spraying operations to be performed without switching, simplifying the operation.

[0033] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0035] This embodiment mainly describes a bucket-free, squeeze-type level mop that simplifies cleaning by using a sliding squeegee to achieve both wiping and water dispensing, thus improving cleaning efficiency. Details are as follows:

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the push-spray waterless leveling mop includes a mop handle 1, a mop head 2, a squeegee 3, a pusher 4, and a water reservoir 01. The mop head 2 is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the mop handle 1, and the squeegee 3 is mounted on the mop handle 1 and slidably mounted up and down. In this embodiment, the pusher 4 is rotatably mounted on the squeegee 3, and the water reservoir 01 is fixed on the mop handle 1. The water reservoir 01 includes a water tank 5, a spray head 6, and a press pump 7 connecting the water tank 5 and the spray head 6. The water tank 5 is fixedly connected to the pump body 7a, and the spray head 6 is slidably connected to the press pump 7. Preferably, the water tank 5 is used to hold water or detergent liquid.

[0038] The nozzle 6 is provided with an integrally set pressure receiving component 61. The pusher 4 rotatably mounted on the wiper 3 has two states: contact and push against the pressure receiving component 61 of the nozzle 6, and non-contact. The two states are switched by rotating the pusher 4. Therefore, when the wiper 3 is slidably operated, the pusher 4 on the wiper 3 can avoid the pressure receiving component 61, or the wiper 3 can slide by contacting and pushing the pressure receiving component 61 through the pusher 4, and the nozzle 6 sprays water.

[0039] Preferably, the rotation axis of the pushing member 4 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the pressure member 61, and the rotation axis of the pushing member 4 is perpendicular to the center line of the mop handle 1.

[0040] In this application, when the squeegee 3 slides along the mop handle 1, it can push the pressure member 61 through the pushing member 4 to realize the spraying of water from the nozzle. This allows the squeegee 3 to achieve both squeegeeing and water dispensing during the sliding operation, realizing the linkage between squeegeeing and water dispensing operations, making the cleaning process continuous, effectively improving the cleaning efficiency of the flat mop, and allowing the squeegeeing and water dispensing operations to be performed without switching, simplifying the operation.

[0041] When the pushing member 4 rotates and does not contact the pressure member 61, in order to prevent the wiper 3 from pushing the pressure member 61 to slide, the wiper 3 is provided with a relief part 31, which avoids the pressure member 61. Preferably, the relief part 31 is usually open.

[0042] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the press pump 7 includes a pump body 7a fixedly connected to the water storage tank 5, a one-way valve 7b that unidirectionally guides the water from the water storage tank 5 to the pump body 7a, a piston 7c that is slidably connected to the pump body 7a and fixedly connected to the nozzle 6, a one-way valve 7d that unidirectionally guides the water from the pump body 7a to the piston 7c, and a return spring 7e disposed in the pump body 7a and elastically supports the piston 7c. The piston 7c connects the interior of the pump body 7a with the nozzle 6.

[0043] In this embodiment, the water storage tank 5 is located outside the mop handle 1, and the pump body 7a is located inside the mop handle 1 and is fixedly connected by screws and other accessories. The side wall of the mop handle 1 is provided with a movable port 11, and the pump body 7a has a mounting port 7a1 corresponding to the position of the movable port 11. The nozzle 6 and the pressure-bearing component 61, which are fixedly connected to the piston 7c, are exposed from the mounting port 7a1 and the movable port 11 on the mop handle 1. The direction of the spray from the nozzle 6 is consistent with the direction in which the wiper 3 slides toward the mop head 2.

[0044] The water tank 5 is an external device on the mop handle 1, which makes it easy to observe the liquid storage capacity in the water tank 5. The water tank 5 is also equipped with a cap 8 that can be detached by means of threads or other structures. By removing the cap 8, liquid can be added to the water tank 5.

[0045] In other embodiments, the press pump 7, the water tank 5, and the nozzle 6 may all be located outside or inside the mop handle 1.

[0046] The pump body 7a has a chamber 7a2. A return spring 7e is installed in the chamber 7a2. One-way valve 7b leads the water tank 5 to the chamber 7a2, and one-way valve 7d leads the water tank 7a2 to the piston 7c. In order to prevent leakage at the installation port 7a1 of the pump body 7a, a sealing ring 7f is slidably installed in the chamber 7a2. The sealing ring 7f is installed on the piston 7c. The sealing ring 7f can limit leakage at the installation port 7a1, and the return spring 7e acts elastically on the sealing ring 7f. One-way valve 7d is installed between the sealing ring 7f and the piston 7c.

[0047] To ensure the stability of the piston 7c when sliding with the sealing ring 7f, a guide 7g is also installed on the pump body 7a. The guide 7g has a guide hole 7g1, and the piston 7c is inserted into the guide hole 7g1. At the same time, to facilitate the installation of the return spring 7e, the sealing ring 7f, the piston 7c, and the nozzle 6 on the piston 7c in the pump body 7a, the guide 7g can be detachably connected to the pump body 7a through a structure such as threads or snaps. The mounting port 7a1 on the pump body 7a is located between the sealing ring 7f and the guide 7g.

[0048] In actual use, a flat mop can have the following states.

[0049] State 1: The bottom of the mop head 2 is facing down, the squeegee 3 is located above the mop head 2, the squeegee 3 contacts the pressure-receiving part 61 through the pushing part 4, the squeegee 3 is slidably operated, the nozzle 6 and the pressure-receiving part 61 slide, and the nozzle 6 sprays water.

[0050] State 2: The bottom of the mop head 2 is facing down, and the squeegee 3 is located above the mop head 2. The squeegee 3 is restricted by the mop head 2 or other accessories and cannot contact the pressure part 61.

[0051] State 3: The bottom of the mop head 2 is facing down, the squeegee 3 is located above the mop head 2, and the pushing part 4 on the squeegee 3 does not contact the pressure part 61;

[0052] State 4: The mop head 2 is rotated to the side of the mop handle 1, the bottom of the mop head 2 faces the side, the squeegee 3 is inserted into the mop head 2, and the squeegee 3 slides and cleans the mop head 2.

[0053] State 5: The mop head 2 is rotated to the side of the mop handle 1, with the bottom of the mop head 2 facing the side. The squeegee 3 is inserted into the mop head 2, and when the squeegee 3 slides and cleans the mop head 2, the pushing part 4 on the squeegee 3 does not contact the pressure part 61.

[0054] In other embodiments, the nozzle 6 and the pressure-bearing component 61 can be set independently, and the pressure-bearing component 61 is fixedly connected to the piston 7c. The installation of the nozzle 6 and the installation of each component in the water reservoir 01 can have the following variations.

[0055] Case 1: The nozzle 6 is fixedly connected to the piston 7c or the pressure-bearing component 61, and the piston 7c is connected to the chamber 7a2 and the nozzle 6.

[0056] Scenario 2: The nozzle 6 is fixed on the pump body 7a, the nozzle 6 is connected to the chamber 7a2, and when the one-way valve 2 7d is pressurized, it unidirectionally guides the flow from the chamber 7a2 to the nozzle 6.

[0057] Scenario 3: Chamber 7a2 is located in water storage tank 5, and nozzle 6 is fixed on water storage tank 5 and connected to chamber 7a2. When one-way valve 2 7d is pressurized, it unidirectionally guides the flow from chamber 7a2 to nozzle 6.

[0058] Scenario 4: The nozzle 6 is fixed on the mop handle 1, and there is a connecting pipe between the nozzle 6 and the chamber 7a2. When the one-way valve 2 7d is pressurized, it unilaterally guides the flow from the chamber 7a2 to the connecting pipe, or the flow from the connecting pipe to the nozzle 6.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] like Figure 7-8 As shown, the technical feature that differs from the above embodiment is that the axis of rotation of the pusher 4, which is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the pressure member 61, is not in the same direction as the center line of the mop handle 1. In order to prevent the pusher 4 from rotating when it does not contact the pressure member 61, the pusher 4 and the wiper 3 can be locked together for a limit.

[0061] Example 3

[0062] like Figure 9 As shown, the technical feature that differs from the above embodiment is that the rotation axis of the pushing member 4 is parallel to the sliding direction of the pressure member 61 and the wiper 3.

[0063] Example 4

[0064] like Figure 10 As shown, the technical feature that differs from the above embodiment is that the pushing member 4 is slidably pressed on the wiper 3, and a support spring 9 is installed between the pushing member 4 and the wiper 3. The pushing member 4 slides closer to or away from the side wall of the wiper 3. Under the elastic support of the support spring 9, the pushing member 4 deviates from the side wall of the wiper 3 and forms a relief part 31 with the side wall of the wiper 3 to avoid the pressure member 61. When the wiper 3 is held and the pushing member 4 is pressed, the pushing member 4 can push the pressure member 61 to slide and the nozzle 6 sprays liquid. Preferably, the sliding direction of the pushing member 4 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the wiper 3.

[0065] Example 5

[0066] The technical feature that differs from Embodiment 4 is that no support spring 9 is provided, and the sliding direction of the pusher 4 is based on the sliding direction of the wiper 3, but is also perpendicular to the sliding direction of the pusher 4 in Embodiment 4.
