Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mop cleaning technology, and in particular relates to a mop bucket for cleaning flat mops. Background Technology

[0002] Flat mops are favored for their simple structure and efficient, convenient cleaning process. At the same time, an increasing number of cleaning devices for flat mops have appeared on the market. Among these, the method of using a cleaning or wringing device in the mop bucket to move relative to the mop head for cleaning and dehydration is particularly convenient and quick. Existing mop bucket cleaning devices typically consist of bristles or rollers. After cleaning the mop, dirt often adheres to the bristles or rollers. With repeated use, this dirt re-adheres to the mop, making it difficult to clean thoroughly. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a mop bucket is provided that can keep the components of a cleaning mop clean, preventing dirt from re-adhering to the mop.

[0004] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a mop bucket for cleaning a flat mop, comprising:

[0005] The bucket body has an insertion slot that extends vertically and allows a mop to be inserted. The bucket body includes a cleaning chamber and a scraping chamber from bottom to top. The insertion slot has a lateral opening and communicates with the cleaning chamber and the scraping chamber.

[0006] A scraping roller is disposed in the scraping chamber, and a space for squeezing the mop is formed between the scraping roller and the groove wall of the insertion groove. The outer circumferential wall of the scraping roller is provided with ribs for squeezing the mop. The ribs are used to contact the mop and clean and scrape the mop dry.

[0007] A brush plate is provided inside the scraping chamber. The brush plate is provided with bristles, which contact the scraping roller and scrape off the dirt on the scraping roller.

[0008] When using the mop, the user inserts the flat mop into the insertion slot, allowing it to reach the cleaning chamber. The cleaning solution then submerges the mop. The user can then pull the flat mop upwards. During this pulling process, the scraping roller rotates to clean the dirt and water off the mop. As the scraping roller rotates, the bristles on the brush plate clean the scraping roller, ensuring its cleanliness and preventing dirt from re-adhering to the mop, which would otherwise prevent the mop from being properly cleaned.

[0009] Preferably, the tub is equipped with a drive motor, which drives the scrubbing roller to rotate, so that the scrubbing roller can drive the mop to move vertically.

[0010] The use of a drive motor makes it very convenient for users to avoid actively dragging the mop.

[0011] Preferably, the drive motor is covered with a waterproof shell, the waterproof shell is fixedly connected to the barrel body, and the brush plate is fixed to the waterproof shell.

[0012] The brush plate is fixed to the waterproof housing of the drive motor, which facilitates the fixation of the brush plate and makes the overall structure more compact.

[0013] Preferably, the ribs are spiral-shaped.

[0014] The spiral ribs make it easier to clean and dry the mop.

[0015] Preferably, the insertion slot has several rollers on its wall, which are used to contact the mop.

[0016] By incorporating rollers, the mop can move up and down more easily, reducing friction between the mop and the tub wall.

[0017] Preferably, the roller is disposed on the groove wall of the insertion groove facing the scraping roller.

[0018] The scrubbing roller is used to squeeze and scrub the mop. The roller is set on the groove wall facing the scrubbing roller, so that the roller can better support the mop and prevent the mop's flat surface from deforming.

[0019] Preferably, the wall of the insertion slot is provided with a guide protrusion, the thickness of which gradually decreases from bottom to top, and the guide protrusion is used to contact the mop and guide the mop.

[0020] The guide protrusions facilitate the insertion of the mop and prevent it from shifting.

[0021] Preferably, the insertion slot includes a flat insertion section and a rod insertion section, the flat insertion section and the rod insertion section are arranged vertically so that the cross-sectional shape of the insertion slot is T-shaped, and at least the opening of the flat insertion section is provided with an upwardly extending limiting part, the limiting part is arranged to coincide with the vertical projection of the flat insertion section, the limiting part extends upward to above the top of the bucket body, and is used to limit the mop.

[0022] The limiting part prevents the mop from tipping over when it is inserted into the opening of the insertion slot.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, this utility model uses the bristles on the brush plate to clean the scrubbing roller, ensuring that the scrubbing roller is clean and thus preventing dirt from sticking to the mop, making it easier for users to clean the mop. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment discloses a mop bucket for cleaning a flat mop, including a bucket body 1, which has an upward-opening insertion groove 3. The bucket body 1 has a cleaning chamber 12 and a scraping chamber 11, with the scraping chamber 11 located above the cleaning chamber 12.

[0034] The mop includes a handle 100 and a flat plate 200. The insertion slot 3 includes a flat plate insertion section 32 and a handle insertion section 31, which are vertically arranged so that the cross-sectional shape of the insertion slot 3 is T-shaped. The insertion slot 3 extends downwards and has lateral openings that communicate with the cleaning chamber 12 and the scraping chamber 11, respectively. This allows the flat plate 200 within the flat plate insertion section 32 to contact the cleaning fluid in the cleaning chamber 12, and allows the flat plate 200 within the handle insertion section 31 to be scraped. Two guide protrusions 8 are provided on the slot wall of the flat plate insertion section 32, spaced vertically. The thickness of the guide protrusions 8 gradually decreases from bottom to top. The guide protrusions 8 are used to contact the flat plate 200 of the mop and guide the mop.

[0035] An upwardly extending limiting part 2 is provided at the opening of the flat insertion section 32. The limiting part 2 is set to coincide with the vertical projection of the flat insertion section 32. The limiting part 2 extends upward to above the top of the bucket body 1 and is used to limit the mop. When the user places the mop at the opening of the insertion slot 3, the mop will not tip over.

[0036] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the scraping chamber 11 contains a scraping roller 5 and a drive motor 4 that drives the scraping roller 5 to rotate. The drive motor 4 is connected to the scraping roller 5 through a reduction gear, and the outer casing of the drive motor 4 is covered by a waterproof outer casing 41. A space is formed between the scraping roller 5 and the wall of the insertion groove 3 to compress the mop's flat plate 200. The outer circumferential wall of the scraping roller 5 has spiral-shaped ribs 51 for compressing the mop. A brush plate 6 is also provided in the scraping chamber 11, with bristles (not shown) fixed on it. The bristles contact the scraping roller 5 and clean it. The waterproof outer casing 41 has a laterally extending connecting part 411 located below the scraping roller 5. The brush plate 6 is fixed to the connecting part 411 with screws, thus positioning the brush plate 6 below the scraping roller 5. A roller 7 is provided on the groove wall of the insertion groove 3 facing the scraping roller 5, and the roller 7 is used to contact the casing of the mop's flat plate 200.

[0037] When in use, after mopping the floor, the user can insert the mop directly into the insertion slot 3. The drive motor 4 drives the scraping roller 5 to rotate, causing the mop to move downwards, so that the mop flat plate 200 is submerged in the cleaning chamber 12. After the mop flat plate 200 is wet, the drive motor 4 drives the scraping roller 5 to rotate in the opposite direction and cause the mop to rise. During the rising process, the scraping roller 5 squeezes and scrapes off the water on the flat plate 200. At the same time, the bristles on the brush plate 6 clean the scraping roller 5 to ensure that the scraping roller 5 is clean.
