Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As a common cleaning tool, a mop typically consists of a mop handle, a mop head, and a cleaning cloth (or mop disc). During use, the user holds the mop handle and moves the mop head to wipe and clean the floor. However, existing mop designs have a significant flaw: when the user needs to pause cleaning (e.g., tidying up items, moving obstacles, or taking a short break), the mop handle cannot directly achieve temporary upright support through its own structure, making it difficult for the mop to maintain a stable upright position.

[0003] Currently, users typically use two methods to temporarily place the mop: first, leaning the mop handle against a wall or other vertical support; second, laying the mop handle completely flat, so that the mop head and handle are flat on the ground.

[0004] Furthermore, in existing mop designs, the mop handle and mop head are mostly fixedly connected or have a simple hinge structure. Their function is limited to adjusting the angle of the mop head to adapt to cleaning movements, and they do not have any locking or self-supporting temporary stopping mechanism. This design flaw forces users to frequently bend over to pick up the mop or find external support during cleaning, which not only increases physical exertion but also affects the continuity of cleaning, causing significant inconvenience, especially for elderly users or those with back problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problems mentioned above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an improved mop head that can temporarily fix the mop handle upright by its own mechanism without relying on external supports or laying the mop handle flat.

[0006] Therefore, this utility model provides a mop head, comprising: a body having an upper surface and a lower surface facing away from each other, the lower surface facing the surface to be cleaned and used to cover a central area of ​​a mop cloth thereon, the upper surface being used to cover two edge areas of the mop cloth located on both sides of the central area; a rotating connector having: a first rotating component rotatably connected to the upper part of the body about a transverse axis, and a second rotating component rotatably connected to the upper part of the first rotating component about a longitudinal axis; and a pair of clamping components, the pair of clamping components being flip-mounted on the upper part of the body between a pressing position and a supporting position, each of the clamping components having a first end and a second end, the first end being rotatably connected to the upper part of the body; in the pressing position, the second end is pressed against the upper surface and can hold the two edge areas of the mop cloth located on both sides of the central area at the upper surface; in the supporting position, the second end is flipped over the upper surface and engages with the rotating connector to prevent the first rotating component from rotating about the transverse axis and the second rotating component from rotating about the longitudinal axis.

[0007] In some embodiments, the rotary connector has a pair of side engagement recesses arranged opposite each other; in the supported position, the second end of the clamping member engages with the corresponding side engagement recess.

[0008] In some embodiments, each of the said side-joining recesses is formed on the first rotating member.

[0009] In some embodiments, a torsion spring is provided between the first end of each of the clamping components and the body, the torsion spring being configured to cause the clamping component to flip toward the support position after releasing its torque.

[0010] In some embodiments, the mop head further includes a latching device comprising an operable locking member having a pair of pins and each of the clamping members having a slot; when the pair of pins engages with the pair of slots, the pair of clamping members can be held in the crimped position.

[0011] In some embodiments, the latching device includes an unlocking operation component disposed on the top of the body and having a first side and a second side disposed opposite to each other. The unlocking operation component is configured to cause the pair of clamping members to be released from the crimped position after force is applied to the first side and the second side, respectively.

[0012] In some embodiments, each of the clamping components is T-shaped.

[0013] In some embodiments, the body has a top wall with a pair of receiving recesses; in the pressing position, the pair of clamping members are located within the pair of receiving recesses.

[0014] In some embodiments, a friction-enhancing structure is provided between the receiving recess and the clamping member, the friction-enhancing structure including a plurality of protruding particles; when the pair of clamping members are in the pressing position, the plurality of protruding particles contact the mop.

[0015] In some embodiments, a suction nozzle is disposed on the front side of the body; the suction nozzle is configured to be able to flip rearward and upward relative to the body.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by constructing a pair of clamping parts for holding the mop head to be able to flip to the support position, the pair of clamping parts can be temporarily switched to the clamping position to prevent the rotation of the rotating connector head. This solution enables the mop head to achieve temporary upright fixation of the mop handle through its own mechanism without relying on external supports or laying the mop handle flat, thereby improving the humanization and ease of operation of the cleaning process.

[0029] This application relates to a mop head. The mop head can be mounted on the lower part of a mop handle and moved along the surface to be cleaned under the user's control. The mop head can be fitted with a cleaning cloth for wiping the surface; this cleaning cloth can be a disposable cleaning cloth or a reusable cleaning cloth. The mop head may also include a suction port, which can use suction force to pick up debris from the floor surface to be wiped; the suction port is in fluid communication with a suction power source (such as a vacuum motor), and a gas-solid separation component (such as a cyclone dust cup) is arranged between the suction port and the suction power source to intercept debris and release air; the suction power source and / or the gas-solid separation component are typically arranged on the mop handle.

[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The illustration shows an example of a mop head. The mop head 100 includes a square-shaped body 1. A rotating connector 2 is mounted on the top of the body 1. A suction nozzle 3 is provided on the front side of the body 1; the suction nozzle 3 is configured to flip upwards and backwards relative to the body 1. The suction nozzle 3 is in fluid communication with a hose 9.

[0031] The main body 1 includes a top wall 11 and a bottom wall 12 fixedly joined together. The top wall 11 defines an upper surface 101 of the main body 1, and the bottom wall defines a lower surface 102 of the main body 1, with the two surfaces facing away from each other. The lower surface 101 is a generally flat surface, facing the surface to be cleaned, and is used to cover the central area 801 of a mop 800. The upper surface 101 is used to cover the two edge areas 802 of the mop 800 located on both sides of the central area 801.

[0032] The rotating connector 2 includes a first rotating component 21 and a second rotating component 22. The first rotating component 21 is rotatably connected to the top wall 11 of the main body 1 about a transverse axis X. The second rotating component 22 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the first rotating component 11 about a longitudinal axis Y. A short pipe interface 221 is formed at the top of the second rotating component 22, and one end of the hose 9 passes through the first rotating component 21 and is fluidly connected to this short pipe interface 221.

[0033] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mop head 100 also includes a pair of clamping members 4. The pair of clamping members 4 can be clamped at the crimping position ( Figure 4 , Figure 6 Location) and support location ( Figure 5 The top wall 11 is rotated between its position and its location. The top wall 11 is provided with a pair of receiving recesses 111; in the pressing position, a pair of clamping members 4 are located in the pair of receiving recesses 111.

[0034] Each clamping component 4 is T-shaped and symmetrically distributed from left to right. Each clamping component 4 has a first end 41 and a second end 42. The first end 41 is rotatably connected to the top wall 11. The second rotating component 22 is provided with a pair of side engagement recesses 23 arranged opposite each other from left to right.

[0035] In the crimped position, each of the second ends 42 is in close contact with the upper surface 101 and is able to hold the two edge regions 802 of the mop 800 located on both sides of the middle region at the upper surface 101.

[0036] In the supported position, each of the second ends 42 flips over the upper surface 101 and engages with the corresponding side engagement recess 23 of the rotating connector 2 to prevent the first rotating component 21 from rotating about the transverse axis X and the second rotating component 22 from rotating about the longitudinal axis Y.

[0037] Combination Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a torsion spring 6 is provided between the first end 41 of each clamping component 4 and the top wall 11. The torsion spring 6 is configured to cause the clamping component 4 to rotate toward the support position after it releases its torque.

[0038] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the mop head 100 also includes a latching device 5. The latching device 5 is arranged on the body 1 and is used to selectively hold a pair of clamping members 4 in a crimped position. The latching device 5 includes a lock member 51 that can be operably moved. In this example, the lock member 51 is movably arranged between a fixed top wall 11 and a bottom wall 12 in a longitudinal direction. A spring 53 is provided between the lock member 51 and the top wall 11 or the bottom wall 12. A pair of pins 511 are provided on the lock member 51. Each clamping member 4 is provided with a slot 43, the slot 43 being adapted to the shape of the pin 511. When the pair of pins 511 are inserted into the pair of slots 43, the pair of clamping members 4 can be held in the crimped position.

[0039] The latching device 5 includes an unlocking operation component 52. The unlocking operation component 52 is disposed on the top wall 11 and has a first side 521 and a second side 522 disposed opposite to each other. The unlocking operation component 52 is configured to be subjected to force on the first side 521 and the second side 522 respectively, causing a pair of clamping members 4 to be released from the crimped position.

[0040] like Figure 11 As shown, the first side 521 has a ramp 5211, and the second side 522 also has a second ramp (not shown in the figure). The locking component 51 is provided with a pair of third ramps 512. The pair of third ramps 512 contact the first ramp 5211 and the second ramp respectively; after the user applies a lateral inward force to the first side 521 and the second side 522, the locking component 51 moves in the longitudinal direction, thereby causing a pair of pins 511 to slide out from the corresponding slots 43, and a pair of clamping members 4 are released from the pressing position in sequence, and are then driven to flip toward the support position under the torque of the torsion spring 5.

[0041] A spring 7 is provided between the unlocking operation component 52 and the top wall 11. After the force applied to the first side 521 and the second side 522 is removed, the unlocking operation component 52 returns to its original position under the action of the spring 7.

[0042] Furthermore, to ensure that the two edge regions 802 of the mop 800 are more stably held on the upper surface 201, a friction-enhancing structure is provided between the receiving recess 111 of the top wall 11 and the clamping member 4. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the friction-enhancing structure includes a plurality of raised particles 13; when a pair of clamping members 4 are in the pressing position, the plurality of raised particles 13 can contact the two edge regions 802 of the mop 800.

[0043] The above embodiments are merely illustrative examples, and those skilled in the art can make equivalent substitutions or improvements within the scope of the claims. Other embodiments, besides the exemplary embodiments shown and described herein, are also covered within the scope of this invention.
