Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mop cleaning technology, and in particular relates to a flat mop cleaning bucket. Background Technology
[0002] Flat mops are popular with consumers because of their lightweight, flat design, which allows them to cover a large floor area and reach hard-to-reach corners such as sofa and furniture crevices that are difficult to clean with traditional methods. However, despite their excellent mopping performance, flat mops get dirty easily and require frequent washing. Traditional manual washing is not only time-consuming and laborious but can also cause hand injuries. Therefore, most flat mop cleaning devices on the market are equipped with a mop bucket with a built-in cleaning mechanism.
[0003] Taking Chinese Patent 202320068740.3 as an example, this patent describes a mop-squeezing device and a mop bucket. The mop-squeezing frame has an opening for the mop to pass through, and working parts on both sides of the opening that come into contact with the mop's wiping material. However, this device is inconvenient to use: the user needs to continuously grip the mop, especially during the mopping process. To prevent the mop from tipping over when pulled out, the user must always hold the handle tightly, making the operation quite strenuous. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a flat mop cleaning bucket is provided that allows the mop to automatically position itself on the cleaning bucket after the mop has finished wringing, without requiring the user to constantly hold the mop.
[0005] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a flat mop washing bucket, comprising:
[0006] The bucket body has an insertion slot that extends vertically for inserting a mop. The insertion slot includes a rod insertion section and a flat insertion section. The bucket body has a cleaning chamber and a scraping chamber. The scraping chamber is located near the opening of the insertion slot. The flat insertion section has a lateral opening that communicates with the cleaning chamber and the scraping chamber.
[0007] A scraping roller is disposed inside the scraping chamber, and a space for squeezing the mop is formed between the scraping roller and the wall of the insertion groove;
[0008] A driver, located inside the tub, drives the scrubbing roller to rotate, thereby causing the mop to move vertically within the insertion slot;
[0009] At least the opening of the flat plate insertion section is provided with a positioning section, which is arranged to coincide with the vertical projection of the flat plate insertion section. The space from the opening of the positioning section to the squeezing mop forms a positioning chamber that allows the mop to be placed naturally on the washing bucket without tilting.
[0010] When in use, after the mop's flat surface has finished cleaning in the cleaning chamber, the scraping roller will rotate under the action of the driver. The scraping roller will move the mop upward while scraping the water off the flat surface. Finally, the mop will be positioned in the positioning chamber without tipping over. During this process, the user does not need to support the mop handle, which is very convenient.
[0011] This solution extends the limiting space for the mop by setting a positioning section at least at the opening of the flat insertion section, so that the mop will not tilt when it is naturally placed on the washing bucket. This achieves the goal that the mop will automatically position itself on the washing bucket after the user has finished wringing out the water, without the user having to hold the mop all the time.
[0012] Preferably, the positioning segment is only provided at the opening of the flat plate insertion segment.
[0013] Setting a positioning section only at the opening of the flat insertion section can save materials and also achieve the effect of positioning the mop.
[0014] Preferably, the positioning segment includes a first positioning segment and a second positioning segment in the shape of a C, the C-shaped openings of the first positioning segment and the second positioning segment are arranged opposite to each other, and the first positioning segment and the second positioning segment are not connected.
[0015] The positioning section is divided into a first positioning section and a second positioning section, which are not connected, further saving materials.
[0016] Preferably, the insertion slot has several rollers on its wall, which are used to contact the mop.
[0017] By incorporating rollers, the mop can move up and down more easily, reducing friction between the mop and the tub wall.
[0018] Preferably, the roller is disposed within the space of the squeezing mop and is located on the groove wall of the insertion slot facing the scrubbing roller.
[0019] 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.
[0020] Preferably, the outer wall of the scraping roller is provided with ribs.
[0021] The ridges increase friction to squeeze and scrape the water off the mop.
[0022] Preferably, the ribs are spiral-shaped.
[0023] The spiral ribs make it easier to clean and dry the mop.
[0024] Preferably, the scraping chamber is provided with a brush plate, on which brush bristles are fixed, and the brush bristles contact the scraping roller and clean the scraping roller.
[0025] There may be some dirt stuck to the mop. When the squeegee roller is squeegeing the mop, the dirt will stick to the squeegee roller. The bristles can clean the dirt on the squeegee roller to keep the squeegee roller clean and prevent the dirt from sticking back to the mop.
[0026] 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.
[0027] The guide protrusions facilitate the insertion of the mop and prevent it from shifting.
[0028] Compared with the existing technology, this utility model has the advantage that after the mop has finished wringing out, the user does not need to hold the mop all the time, and the mop will automatically position itself on the washing bucket. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment discloses a flat mop cleaning bucket, 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.
[0040] 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.
[0041] 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. 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, positioned below the scraping roller 5. Brush bristles (not shown in the figure) are fixed on the brush plate 6, contacting and cleaning the scraping roller 5. A roller 7 is provided on the wall of the insertion groove 3 facing the scraping roller 5, and the roller 7 contacts the housing of the mop's flat plate 200.
[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8As shown, an upwardly extending positioning section 2 is provided at the opening of the flat plate insertion section 32. The positioning section 2 coincides with the vertical projection of the flat plate insertion section 32 and extends upward to above the top of the bucket body 1. The positioning section 2 includes a C-shaped first positioning section 21 and a second positioning section 22. The C-shaped openings of the first positioning section 21 and the second positioning section 22 are opposite to each other. The first positioning section 21 and the second positioning section 22 are not connected and are used to limit the position of the mop. The space from the opening of the positioning section 2 to the squeezing of the mop constitutes a positioning chamber 9 that allows the mop to be placed naturally on the washing bucket without tilting. When the user places the mop at the opening of the insertion slot 3, the mop will not tip over.
[0043] 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, immersing the mop flat plate 200 in the washing 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, causing the mop to rise. During the rising process, the scraping roller 5 squeezes and scrapes off the water on the flat plate 200, finally delivering the mop to the opening of the insertion slot 3. This achieves the goal of automatically positioning the mop on the bucket 1 after dehydration, without the user needing to constantly hold it.
