Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of floor scrubber accessories, specifically to a floor scrubber cloth that prevents tangling. Background Technology
[0002] Floor scrubbers are cleaning equipment widely used in homes, commercial spaces, and industrial environments. They are specifically designed for cleaning floors, especially hard surfaces such as ceramic tiles, PVC floors, and marble. Compared to traditional mopping methods, floor scrubbers offer higher efficiency and a wider range of cleaning effects. The fabric used in floor scrubbers refers to the cloths used to clean floors. These fabrics typically need to have good absorbency and dehydration properties, be abrasion resistant, and have good cleaning capabilities.
[0003] Currently, most floor scrubbers on the market use cloths made of a single material, such as ordinary cotton or non-woven fabric. While these cloths have some cleaning ability, they exhibit significant drawbacks in actual use: the limited water absorption of a single material means that the floor scrubber needs to be stopped frequently to change the cloth when cleaning large areas, severely impacting cleaning efficiency; on the other hand, their poor water retention means that the wastewater absorbed by the cloth is prone to dripping during mopping, causing secondary pollution to the floor. This is especially problematic when cleaning damp areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, where dripping wastewater not only leads to incomplete cleaning but may also create a slippery hazard, increasing the user's subsequent cleaning burden.
[0004] In view of this, the present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems by proposing a fabric for floor scrubbers that avoids tangling. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned background technology, this utility model provides a technical solution for a floor scrubber cloth that avoids tangling. By setting a gradient water absorption structure, the large-pore fibers of the surface cleaning layer quickly absorb wastewater. Combined with the SAP water-absorbing resin particles in the middle water-absorbing layer and the bottom seaweed fiber mesh and water-locking gel in the bottom water-locking and fixing layer, the cloth's single water absorption capacity is increased, and the water absorption speed is improved. This reduces the frequency of replacement when cleaning large areas of the floor. At the same time, the dense water-locking structure of the bottom water-locking and fixing layer ensures zero wastewater dripping, completely avoiding secondary pollution of the floor. It is especially suitable for damp environments such as kitchens and bathrooms, eliminating the risk of slippery surfaces.
[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a floor scrubber cloth that avoids tangling, comprising a surface cleaning layer, a middle absorbent layer and a bottom water-locking and fixing layer, which are sequentially laminated from top to bottom;
[0007] The surface of the surface cleaning layer is provided with biomimetic suction cup-shaped wavy texture and anti-tangling bumps, and the anti-tangling bumps are fixed to the surface cleaning layer by a flexible connection structure.
[0008] SAP absorbent resin particles are uniformly embedded in the middle absorbent layer, and multiple longitudinal hollow fiber tubes are provided between the middle absorbent layer and the bottom water-locking and fixing layer. The tube walls of the longitudinal hollow fiber tubes are provided with multiple water-permeable micropores.
[0009] The bottom water-locking and fixing layer is a three-dimensional mesh structure of seaweed fiber, and the mesh gaps of the bottom water-locking and fixing layer are filled with water-locking gel.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the anti-tangle bumps are silicone anti-tangle bumps, which are sewn onto the surface of the surface cleaning layer by nylon thread.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the surface cleaning layer, the middle water-absorbing layer and the bottom water-locking and fixing layer are fixedly connected by a hot rolling composite process, and the fiber pore sizes of the surface cleaning layer, the middle water-absorbing layer and the bottom water-locking and fixing layer form a gradient pore size structure.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the biomimetic suction cup-type concave-convex ripples are individually hemispherical protrusions.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the intermediate absorbent layer is a non-woven fabric intermediate absorbent layer, and the SAP absorbent resin particles are uniformly dispersed in the intermediate absorbent layer.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a plurality of longitudinal hollow fiber tubes are arranged in parallel along the width direction of the fabric, and a plurality of water-permeable micropores are evenly distributed on the circumference of the tube wall of the longitudinal hollow fiber tubes.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the surface cleaning layer is a nylon 66 surface cleaning layer, and the surface of the surface cleaning layer is formed with a biomimetic suction cup-like undulating texture through a molding process.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the anti-tangle protrusion has a rounded transition.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. This utility model sets the fiber pore size of the surface cleaning layer, the middle absorbent layer, and the bottom water-locking and fixing layer into a gradient pore size structure. The large-pore fiber of the surface cleaning layer quickly absorbs sewage. Combined with the SAP water-absorbing resin particles in the middle absorbent layer and the combination of the bottom seaweed fiber mesh and water-locking gel in the bottom water-locking and fixing layer, the fabric's single water absorption capacity is increased and the water absorption speed is improved. The frequency of replacement is reduced when cleaning large areas of the floor. At the same time, the dense water-locking structure of the bottom water-locking and fixing layer ensures zero sewage dripping and completely avoids secondary pollution of the floor. It is especially suitable for damp scenes such as kitchens and bathrooms, eliminating the risk of slippery surfaces.
[0019] 2. This utility model incorporates anti-tangle bumps, with 20-30 silicone anti-tangle bumps per cm. 2 The density is evenly distributed, and the rounded top design effectively reduces hair snagging. The nylon thread stitching causes the anti-tangling bumps to swing slightly during movement, disrupting the hair tangling path, reducing the hair tangling rate, greatly reducing the user's cleaning burden, and improving ease of use.
[0020] 3. This utility model incorporates a biomimetic suction cup-like wavy texture and anti-tangling bumps. The hemispherical protrusions of the biomimetic suction cup-like wavy texture mimic the suction characteristics of an octopus suction cup, increasing the coefficient of friction between the fabric and the ground. Combined with the elastic rubbing of the silicone anti-tangling bumps, it reduces the number of times dried soy sauce stains need to be cleaned. At the same time, the optimized design of the smoothness of the anti-tangling bumps ensures that various floor materials such as wood flooring and tiles are not damaged while cleaning efficiently.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, a tangle-free floor scrubber fabric includes a top cleaning layer 1, a middle absorbent layer 2, and a bottom water-locking and fixing layer 3, which are laminated sequentially from top to bottom.
[0028] The surface of the surface cleaning layer 1 is provided with a biomimetic suction cup-type wavy texture 101 and anti-tangling protrusions 102. The anti-tangling protrusions 102 are fixed to the surface cleaning layer 1 through a flexible connection structure.
[0029] SAP absorbent resin particles are uniformly embedded in the middle absorbent layer 2, and multiple longitudinal hollow fiber tubes 4 are provided between it and the bottom water-locking and fixing layer 3. Multiple water-permeable micropores 401 are opened on the tube wall of the longitudinal hollow fiber tubes 4.
[0030] The bottom water-locking and fixing layer 3 is a three-dimensional mesh structure of seaweed fiber, and the mesh gaps of the bottom water-locking and fixing layer 3 are filled with water-locking gel;
[0031] The "water-locking gel" mentioned in this document is a functional material for floor scrubber fabrics. Its core function is physical water locking. Through the combination of a three-dimensional mesh of seaweed fibers and water-locking gel, a dense water-locking barrier is formed to prevent wastewater backflow and ensure that the fabric does not drip when inverted. At the same time, the water-locking gel has the characteristics of stain resistance and water erosion resistance. Secondly, the water-locking gel uses high molecular materials such as sodium polyacrylate (which work synergistically with SAP water-absorbing resin particles), mainly focusing on water absorption rate and water retention strength.
[0032] The anti-tangle bumps 102 are made of silicone and have a density of 20-30 bumps / cm². 2 The anti-tangle protrusions 102 are sewn onto the surface of the surface cleaning layer 1 with nylon thread.
[0033] The surface cleaning layer 1, the middle water-absorbing layer 2, and the bottom water-locking and fixing layer 3 are fixedly connected by a hot rolling composite process. The fiber pore sizes of the surface cleaning layer 1, the middle water-absorbing layer 2, and the bottom water-locking and fixing layer 3 form a gradient pore size structure. The fiber pore size of the surface cleaning layer 1 is 50-100μm, the fiber pore size of the middle water-absorbing layer 2 is 20-50μm, and the fiber pore size of the bottom water-locking and fixing layer 3 is less than 20μm.
[0034] In this document, "hot rolling composite process" refers to a textile material processing technology that uses low-temperature hot melting and pressure bonding to create physical entanglement or hot-melt adhesion between fiber layers.
[0035] The biomimetic suction cup-style undulating texture 101 features a single hemispherical protrusion.
[0036] The intermediate absorbent layer 2 is a non-woven fabric intermediate absorbent layer. The SAP absorbent resin particles account for 20% to 30% of the mass of the intermediate absorbent layer 2 and are uniformly dispersed in the intermediate absorbent layer 2.
[0037] The intermediate absorbent layer 2 in this document is made of non-woven fabric, which is essentially a three-dimensional open network formed by fibers through mechanical entanglement or thermal bonding. This structure is similar to a "sponge". The pores between the fibers can directly accommodate SAP resin particles without the need for additional interlayers. For example, medical non-woven masks can be directly embedded with meltblown fabric filter material. Similarly, SAP particles can be evenly mixed into the intermediate absorbent layer 2 through a combing process.
[0038] Multiple longitudinal hollow fiber tubes 4 are arranged parallel to each other along the width of the fabric, and multiple water-permeable micropores 401 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the tube wall of the longitudinal hollow fiber tubes 4.
[0039] The surface cleaning layer 1 is a nylon 66 surface cleaning layer, and the surface of the surface cleaning layer 1 is formed with a biomimetic suction cup-like undulating texture 101 through a molding process.
[0040] When nylon 66 is heated to its softening point during the molding process, the material undergoes plastic deformation but does not melt. By applying pressure through rollers with hemispherical punches, a biomimetic suction cup-like undulating texture 101 can be formed on the surface, similar to the anti-slip texture on the surface of a plastic basin. This process is often used in the textile industry for the functional treatment of nylon fabrics (such as waterproof embossing on rain jackets). The surface structure of nylon 66 is similar to a 'dishcloth with raised dots': the raised dots (anti-tangling raised dots 102) increase friction, and the mesh on the fabric allows water to flow through.
[0041] The top of the anti-tangle bump 102 has a rounded transition.
[0042] Anti-tangling working principle
[0043] Physical barriers and diversion mechanisms
[0044] The anti-tangling bumps 102 of the surface cleaning layer 1 have elastic deformation capabilities. When the fabric contacts the ground, the anti-tangling bumps 102 can deform slightly with the pressure of hair, reducing the probability of snagging. At the same time, the top of the anti-tangling bumps 102 has a rounded transition, and the smooth curved surface structure makes it difficult for hair to entangle. In addition, the bumps are spaced at 20-30 per cm. 2 The density is evenly distributed, forming a dense physical barrier array. When hair comes into contact with the fabric, the gaps between the protrusions guide the hair to slide laterally instead of embedding it in the fabric fibers, thus achieving an anti-tangling effect.
[0045] Movement direction guidance
[0046] When the floor scrubber is working, the cloth rotates with the roller brush or moves horizontally with the mop. Since the anti-tangling protrusions 102 are fixed by flexible nylon thread, the anti-tangling protrusions 102 can generate slight swings during the movement of the cloth. This dynamic change further disrupts the tangling path of the hair, making it easier for the hair to detach from the cloth surface and be sucked into the wastewater recycling port of the floor scrubber.
[0047] High-efficiency cleaning working principle
[0048] Bionic suction cup-style textured 101 enhances friction.
[0049] The biomimetic suction cup-shaped wavy texture 101 of the surface cleaning layer 1 has a hemispherical protrusion. This structure increases the contact area and friction between the fabric and the ground by simulating the adsorption characteristics of an octopus suction cup. When the fabric contacts the ground, the hemispherical protrusion of the biomimetic suction cup-shaped wavy texture 101 can be embedded into the tiny grooves of the ground to form a "vacuum adsorption" effect, which effectively improves the ability to grasp stubborn stains such as oil and sauces.
[0050] Anti-tangle bumps 102 assist mechanical friction
[0051] The anti-tangling bumps 102 not only prevent tangling but also assist in cleaning. The elastic deformation of the silicone anti-tangling bumps 102 allows them to penetrate deep into the texture of the floor and break up dirt particles through physical rubbing. Combined with the adsorption force of the biomimetic suction cup-type wavy texture 101, it can achieve efficient cleaning of different floor materials such as tiles and wood floors without scratching the floor.
[0052] Working principle of rapid water absorption and water retention
[0053] Gradient water absorption structure accelerates wastewater conduction
[0054] The fabric adopts a gradient pore size structure: the surface cleaning layer 1 has a fiber pore size of 50-100μm, the middle absorbent layer 2 has a pore size of 20-50μm, and the bottom water-locking and fixing layer 3 has a pore size of ≤20μm. When the fabric comes into contact with sewage, the surface cleaning layer 1 with large pore size fibers can quickly absorb the liquid and use capillary effect to quickly guide the sewage into the middle absorbent layer 2. The SAP absorbent resin particles embedded in the middle absorbent layer 2 have a super water absorption capacity and can absorb 200 times their own weight in water, achieving efficient water storage. The small pore size seaweed fiber mesh and water-locking gel in the bottom water-locking and fixing layer 3 form a dense barrier to prevent sewage backflow and ensure that the fabric does not drip water when inverted after absorbing water.
[0055] Three-dimensional flow channels improve water absorption efficiency
[0056] A longitudinal hollow fiber tube 4 is set between the middle absorbent layer 2 and the bottom water-locking and fixing layer 3. The tube wall has water-permeable micropores 401. When the fabric absorbs sewage, some liquid enters the longitudinal hollow fiber tube 4 through the water-permeable micropores 401. By utilizing the longitudinal guiding effect of the longitudinal hollow fiber tube 4, the sewage is quickly transported to the sewage recovery port of the floor scrubber, thereby increasing the water absorption speed of the fabric.
