Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical technology and relates to a drain rack and a mop bucket with the drain rack. Background Technology

[0002] The drain function of the mop bucket is designed to help users quickly and effectively remove excess water from the mop after cleaning the floor, ensuring that the mop is dry so that cleaning tasks can be completed more effectively.

[0003] Manual squeezing is the most widely used type of draining, where the user manually operates the mop head (e.g., by hand or foot) to squeeze out excess water through a squeezing device.

[0004] It is easy to use and does not require electricity. Due to its low cost, it is suitable for home use.

[0005] However, in existing mop buckets, the drain rack and mop bucket are usually integrated into one structure, making them difficult to manufacture and inconvenient to maintain. Furthermore, the mop comes into contact with wastewater during washing, resulting in inconsistent cleaning. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The first objective of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the prior art by providing a drain rack with a simple and compact structure that effectively prevents the mop from coming into contact with sewage during the mop washing process.

[0007] The second objective of this invention is to provide a mop bucket having the aforementioned drain rack.

[0008] The first objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0009] A drain rack includes a long plate-shaped body, characterized in that the body has a clearance hole in the middle for avoiding a mop head, the bottom of the body has protruding legs, the number of legs is several and the legs are distributed along the edge of the body, and the body has several through-holes for water passage.

[0010] In the aforementioned drain rack, there are four legs, with a pair of symmetrically distributed legs at each end of the main body.

[0011] In the aforementioned drain rack, the support legs include a cylindrical body and reinforcing ribs evenly distributed around the outer side of the cylindrical body. The inner side of the reinforcing ribs is fixed to the cylindrical body, the upper end of the reinforcing ribs is fixed to the bottom of the main body, and the lower end of the reinforcing ribs is flush with the lower end of the cylindrical body.

[0012] In the aforementioned drain rack, the upper part of the reinforcing rib is larger than the lower part, and the outer side of the reinforcing rib has a smooth transition from the upper end to the lower end.

[0013] In the aforementioned drain rack, the main body, the cylinder, and the reinforcing ribs are all integral structures.

[0014] In the aforementioned drain rack, the clearance hole matches the mop head, and the size of the water passage hole is smaller than the size of the clearance hole.

[0015] In the aforementioned drain rack, the size of the water passage hole is 1 / 30 to 1 / 10 of the size of the clearance hole.

[0016] In the aforementioned drain rack, the lower end of the clearance hole has an annular protruding reinforcing part.

[0017] In the aforementioned drain rack, the outer edge of the main body has a second annular protruding reinforcing part.

[0018] The second objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution:

[0019] A mop bucket, characterized in that it includes the aforementioned drain rack, the mop bucket includes a bucket body with an internal cavity and an open top, the bottom of the bucket body has a protruding limiting post that matches a clearance hole, when several legs abut against the bottom of the bucket body, the limiting post is embedded in the clearance hole and the upper end of the limiting post is flush with the upper part of the body, the outer side of the body has a recessed positioning notch, the inner side of the bucket body has a protruding positioning edge, and the positioning edge is embedded in the positioning notch.

[0020] Compared to existing technologies, this drain rack features multiple legs on its main body. When these legs contact the bottom of the mop bucket, a suitable distance is maintained between the main body and the bottom of the bucket. As the mop moves up and down within the bucket for cleaning, wastewater settles at the bottom of the drain rack. Because the wastewater is contained at the bottom of the rack, it minimizes contact between the mop and large amounts of wastewater during the cleaning process. This effectively improves the cleaning performance of the mop and provides higher cleaning stability.

[0021] At the same time, the entire drain rack and mop bucket can be easily disassembled, making it relatively easy to install and remove the drain rack and mop bucket, and thus it has high practical value. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "mounted on" another component, it can be directly mounted on the other component or may be interspersed with a component. When a component is said to be "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or may be interspersed with a component. When a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly fixed to the other component or may be interspersed with a component.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this drain rack includes a long plate-shaped body 1. The middle part of the body 1 has a clearance hole 2 for avoiding the mop head. The bottom of the body 1 has protruding support legs 4. The number of support legs 4 is several and the support legs 4 are distributed along the edge of the body 1. The body 1 has several through water holes 3.

[0032] During the mop washing process, the mop moves up and down relative to the drain rack. Since the clearance hole 2 is directly opposite the mop during the washing process, the mop will not make rigid contact with the main body 1 during the washing process, thus preventing the drain rack from being damaged prematurely under external force.

[0033] The number of legs 4 is four, and there is a pair of symmetrically distributed legs 4 at both ends of the body 1.

[0034] Four legs 4 are evenly distributed at the four corners of the main body 1 to ensure that the entire drain rack can be stably placed inside the mop bucket.

[0035] The support leg 4 includes a cylindrical body 4a and reinforcing ribs 4b evenly distributed around the outside of the cylindrical body 4a. The inner side of the reinforcing ribs 4b is fixed to the cylindrical body 4a. The upper end of the reinforcing ribs 4b is fixed to the bottom of the main body 1, and the lower end of the reinforcing ribs 4b is flush with the lower end of the cylindrical body 4a.

[0036] The cylinder 4a effectively increases the contact area between the support leg 4 and the mop bucket while reducing material consumption. At the same time, the reinforcing ribs 4b evenly distributed on the outside of the cylinder 4a effectively improve the overall strength of the support leg 4.

[0037] The upper end of the reinforcing rib 4b is larger than the lower end, and the outer side of the reinforcing rib 4b has a smooth transition from the upper end to the lower end.

[0038] This structure ensures that the bottom size of the support leg 4 is relatively small, thus enabling the support leg 4 to make stable contact with the bottom of the mop bucket.

[0039] The main body 1, the cylinder 4a, and the reinforcing rib 4b are all integral structures.

[0040] This can appropriately improve the structural compactness of the entire drain rack.

[0041] The clearance hole 2 is matched with the mop head, and the size of the water passage hole 3 is smaller than that of the clearance hole 2.

[0042] This structure effectively prevents the mop from coming into contact with the drain rack during the mop washing process. At the same time, the water passage 3 allows water to flow smoothly through the drain rack during the mop washing process, and the wastewater generated during the washing process eventually collects at the bottom of the drain rack.

[0043] The size of the water passage hole 3 is 1 / 30 of the size of the clearance hole 2. Depending on the actual situation, it is also feasible for the size of the water passage hole 3 to be 1 / 10 of the size of the clearance hole 2.

[0044] This structure ensures that wastewater from the mop washing process can smoothly enter the lower part of the drain rack.

[0045] The lower end of the clearance hole 2 has an annular protruding reinforcing part 5.

[0046] The outer edge of the main body 1 has a ring-shaped protruding reinforcing part 2 6.

[0047] The reinforcement part 1 5 can effectively improve the strength of the body 1 at the clearance hole 2, and the reinforcement part 2 6 can effectively improve the strength of the entire body 1.

[0048] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this mop bucket includes the aforementioned drain rack. The mop bucket includes a bucket body 7 with an internal cavity and an open top. The bottom of the bucket body 7 has a protruding limiting post 7b that matches the clearance hole 2. When several legs 4 abut against the bottom of the bucket body 7, the limiting post 7b is embedded in the clearance hole 2 and the upper end of the limiting post 7b is flush with the upper part of the body 1. The outer side of the body 1 has a recessed positioning notch 1a, and the inner side of the bucket body 7 has a protruding positioning edge 7a, which is embedded in the positioning notch 1a.

[0049] The limiting post 7b has two functions:

[0050] Firstly, during the mop washing process, the mop comes into contact with the limiting post 7b, which can prevent the mop from entering the lower part of the drain rack and from coming into contact with the mop body 1.

[0051] Secondly, since the limiting post 7b is embedded in the clearance hole 2, the two can be used together to achieve positioning between the drain rack and the mop bucket.

[0052] Of course, the engagement of the limiting post 7b with the clearance hole 2 of the body 1 is only for auxiliary positioning. The engagement of the positioning notch 1a with the positioning edge 7a is what performs the main positioning function.

[0053] As can be seen, the drain rack with the above structure can be stably positioned and connected to the bottom of the mop bucket.

[0054] This drain rack features multiple legs that maintain a proper distance between the main body and the bottom of the mop bucket when the legs contact the bottom of the bucket. As the mop moves up and down within the bucket, wastewater settles at the bottom of the drain rack. Because the wastewater is contained at the bottom of the rack, it minimizes contact between the mop and large amounts of dirty water during washing. This effectively improves the cleaning performance and provides high cleaning stability.

[0055] At the same time, the entire drain rack and mop bucket can be easily disassembled, making it relatively easy to install and remove the drain rack and mop bucket, and thus it has high practical value.

[0056] In actual cleaning operations, the liquid level in the mop bucket is lower than the height of the drain rack. This ensures that the wastewater is kept at the bottom of the mop body during the cleaning process. Since the wastewater does not enter the bottom of the mop body during the cleaning process, the mop will not come into contact with the wastewater, thus effectively improving the cleaning effect.

[0057] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0058] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the scope of the essential spirit of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present utility model.
