Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cleaning tools, and in particular to a flat mop cleaning tool based on a mop cleaning bucket, which is suitable for cleaning flat mops or foam flat mops. Background Technology

[0002] There are numerous patents related to mop buckets used for cleaning flat mops. A representative patent is Chinese utility model patent CN201821203889.3 (publication number CN209863678U), which discloses a flat mop tool including a mop bucket and a flat mop. The mop bucket has a separate wringing area and a separate water-holding area, and the wringing area is equipped with a squeezing device. The flat mop includes a cleaning material, a mop handle, and a flat mop plate connected to the lower end of the mop handle. In use, the flat mop is rotated to a squeezing state, and then the squeezing device is inserted into the wringing area. Moving it up and down squeezes the cleaning material, and the squeezed water is transferred to the water-holding area via a water transfer device. Because the amount of water squeezed out is greater than the amount of water entering the wringing area from the water-holding area through the slow-release mechanism, after multiple repetitions, almost all the water in the wringing area can be transferred to the water-holding area, and the cleaning material is also squeezed dry during this process. Afterwards, the water in the water-holding area enters the wringing area through the slow-release mechanism. When the flat mop gets dirty, it can then enter the wringing area for wringing and cleaning.

[0003] The applicant of the aforementioned patent has also applied for many similar patents with different focuses of protection, but the core of them is that the mop bucket has an independent squeezing area and an independent water holding area, and the water squeezed out of the wiping material is transferred to the water holding area through a water transfer device.

[0004] This indicates that flat mop cleaning tools have the following drawbacks:

[0005] 1. Each time the wastewater is washed off the mop, it is discharged back into the water collection area, causing the water cup in the water collection area to become contaminated. The contaminated water in the water collection area then enters the squeezing area through the slow release mechanism, so the water used to wash the mop next time is not clean water, which affects the cleanliness of the mop.

[0006] 2. The amount of water released into the wringing zone through the slow-release mechanism each time cannot be quantitatively controlled. That is, the amount of water used to wash the mop each time is not fixed, and the water used to wash the mop may not fully submerge the objects being wiped, further affecting the cleanliness of the objects.

[0007] 3. The slow-release mechanism may be a small hole that cannot be closed. In this case, during the cleaning and squeezing process, the lower end of the wipe may always be soaked in water in the squeezing area, which will reduce the squeezing effect and prevent the wipe from being fully squeezed out.

[0008] In conclusion, the aforementioned cleaning tools for cleaning flat mops or sponge mops can be further improved. Utility Model Content

[0009] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a squeezing flat mop cleaning tool that prevents the wiping material from easily falling off the mop head during cleaning and wringing operations, and ensures that the mop is clean water every time it is washed, in light of the above-mentioned existing technology.

[0010] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a flat mop cleaning tool with a detachable bucket, including a cleaning bucket and a mop, wherein the mop includes a mop head rotatably connected to the lower end of the mop handle, and the mop head is provided with a wiping agent; the cleaning bucket has a washing area, a clean water area, and a wastewater area; characterized in that: the cleaning bucket includes an outer bucket, a clean water inner bucket, and a washing inner bucket, the washing inner bucket and the clean water inner bucket are arranged side by side, and the washing inner bucket and the clean water inner bucket are detachably connected to the outer bucket, the area inside the washing inner bucket forms the washing area, the area inside the clean water inner bucket forms the clean water area, the inner cavity of the outer bucket forms the wastewater area, the washing inner bucket and the clean water inner bucket are connected through a water supply channel, and the water supply channel is controlled by a switch. The top of the inner water tank is closed. The outer tank is equipped with a first swiping and squeezing device and a second swiping and squeezing device. The first swiping and squeezing device corresponds to the inner cleaning tank, and the second swiping and squeezing device is located outside the inner cleaning tank and the inner water tank. The lower end of the wiping material is sleeved or fastened to the mop head, and the bottom surface of the wiping material is adhered to the bottom surface of the mop head. The mop head is rotated to a squeezing state that is basically parallel to the mop handle. The lower end of the wiping material is set downward. In this state, the mop head enters the cleaning area from behind the first swiping and squeezing device and moves back and forth to perform cleaning operations through the first swiping and squeezing device. The mop head moves back and forth through the second swiping and squeezing device to perform squeezing operations through the second swiping and squeezing device.

[0011] The squeezing area is separated inside the outer barrel by a built-in partition, or the squeezing inner barrel is provided inside the outer barrel, and the squeezing inner barrel forms the squeezing area; the second squeezing device corresponds to the squeezing area.

[0012] It also includes a first drainage channel for transferring water from the wiping material squeezed by the first squeezing device to the wastewater area. In some scenarios, it is not necessary to transfer all the water from the washing area; only half may need to be transferred, as the squeezing operation can be performed within the second opening. If there is no first drainage channel, water from the washing area can also be transferred to the outside via a drain valve, drain hole, pumping mechanism, or absorbent component made of highly absorbent material. Furthermore, it includes a second drainage channel for transferring water squeezed from the wiping material squeezed by the second squeezing device to the wastewater area.

[0013] Preferably, the first mop head squeezing device includes a first mop frame with a first mop hole, the first mop hole being provided with a first squeezing component and / or bristles, the first squeezing component squeezing the wiping material on the up-and-down moving mop head to move, squeeze, and squeeze the wiping material; the second mop head squeezing device includes a second mop frame with a second mop hole, the second mop hole being provided with a second squeezing component, the second squeezing component squeezing the wiping material on the up-and-down moving mop head to move, squeeze, and squeeze the wiping material.

[0014] In a further improvement, a mounting bracket is connected to the opening of the outer tub. The first and second squeegee-squeegee devices are mounted on the mounting bracket, which constrains the upper ends of the clean water inner tub and the washing inner tub. The first and second squeegee-squeegee devices are pre-assembled onto the mounting bracket, and then the mounting bracket is assembled to the opening of the cleaning tub, making assembly convenient. It also limits the movement of the clean water inner tub and the washing inner tub, preventing the two inner tubs from shaking.

[0015] To enable the mop head to trigger the switch via the water-squeezing device through the first water-squeezing hole, as an improvement, a movable linkage component is provided on the aforementioned mounting bracket. One end of the linkage component extends into the first water-squeezing hole to form a trigger part, and the other end of the linkage component is connected to the switch via a transmission.

[0016] To provide a suitable mounting position for the linkage components, the mounting bracket preferably has space to accommodate the linkage components, which are constrained within this space by a ribbed guide structure. The constraint of the ribbed guide structure ensures smoother lateral sliding of the linkage components.

[0017] To prevent water from flowing into the cleaning area, the walls of the space have drainage holes that connect to the sewage area.

[0018] As one method of transmission connection between the linkage component and the switch, the aforementioned linkage component and the switch are connected by a groove-protrusion mating structure. The groove in the groove-protrusion mating structure is located on one of the linkage component and the switch, and the protrusion is located on the other of the linkage component and the switch. The protrusion is inserted into the groove and can slide along the groove. The aforementioned transmission structure is the simplest, and the protrusion and groove are easy to manufacture.

[0019] To better achieve automatic water control, further improvements are made. Simultaneously, air enters the space above the liquid surface in the clean water zone through the water supply channel while water is being injected into the cleaning zone, until the water in the cleaning zone submerges the outlet or inlet of the water supply channel. This better utilizes atmospheric pressure. When the water in the cleaning zone submerges the outlet of the water supply channel, water supply to the cleaning zone ceases. When the water in the cleaning zone does not submerge the outlet of the water supply channel, and the switch is open, water from the clean water zone automatically supplies water to the cleaning zone. Air enters the space above the effective liquid surface in the clean water zone through the water supply channel, ensuring smooth water supply without the need for an additional air inlet valve, resulting in a simpler structure.

[0020] Alternatively, a one-way air inlet valve may be provided on the wall or bottom of the water purification zone or on an associated third component, which only allows air to enter the space above the liquid surface of the water purification zone from the outside.

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: It features independent clean water and cleaning inner tubs, connected by a water supply channel. The clean water tub provides clean water to the cleaning inner tub, ensuring that only clean water is used for each mop cleaning operation. During cleaning, the mop head rotates to a squeezeable state that is essentially parallel to the mop handle. The lower end of the wiping material is fitted or fastened to the mop head, and the bottom surface of the wiping material adheres to the bottom surface of the mop head. This ensures that the lower end of the wiping material does not lift up during the cleaning operation via the first squeezing device and the wringing operation via the second squeezing device, preventing wrinkles or detachment from the mop head. This ensures that cleaning and wringing operations are performed in separate areas. After cleaning, the water in the cleaning inner tub can be drained to the outer tub via a drain valve or other means, allowing for refilling of the cleaning inner tub for the next operation. The entire cleaning and wringing process is logically designed. The inner cleaning tub and the clean water tub are detachably connected to the outer tub, facilitating assembly and cleaning of each tub. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 15 The figure shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] A flat mop cleaning tool with a detachable bucket includes a cleaning bucket 1 and a mop. The mop includes a mop head 3 rotatably connected to the lower end of the mop handle 2, and the mop head 3 is provided with a wiping material 4. The cleaning bucket 1 has a washing area 1a, a clean water area 1b, and a wastewater area 1d. The wiping material 4 can be a fiber cloth or foam.

[0040] The cleaning tank 1 includes an outer tank 11, a clean water inner tank 12, and a washing inner tank 13. The washing inner tank 13 and the clean water inner tank 12 are arranged side by side and interlocked with each other. The washing inner tank 13 and the clean water inner tank 12 are detachably connected to the outer tank 11. The area inside the washing inner tank 11 forms the washing area 1a, the area inside the clean water inner tank 12 forms the clean water area 1b, and the inner cavity of the outer tank 13 forms the sewage area 1d.

[0041] The inner washing tub 13 and the inner clean water tub 11 are connected by a water supply channel E, which is controlled by a switch 7. Moving the switch 7 downwards closes the water supply channel E, while moving it upwards opens it. The mop works in conjunction with the switch 7, causing the switch 7 to move downwards as the mop moves downwards. The switch 7 has an easy-to-operate operating end 71 and a protrusion 72 that engages with the downward-moving mop.

[0042] The top of the clean water inner tank 12 is sealed; while water is being supplied to the cleaning area 1b through the water supply channel E, air enters the space above the liquid surface in the clean water area 1a through the water supply channel E until the water in the cleaning area 1b submerges the outlet E2 or inlet E1 of the water supply channel E; specifically, the top of the clean water tank 12 is sealed with a tank cover 10, and a sealing ring 103 is provided between the top port of the clean water tank 12 and the tank cover 10. The tank cover 10 is provided with a water inlet 101, and the water inlet 101 is sealed with a cap 102.

[0043] The outer tub 1 is equipped with a first squeezing and squeezing device 5 and a second squeezing and squeezing device 6. The first squeezing and squeezing device 5 corresponds to the inner cleaning tub 13, and the second squeezing and squeezing device 6 is located outside the inner cleaning tub 13 and the inner clean water tub 12. The outer tub 11 is divided into a squeezing area 1c by an internal partition 14, and the second squeezing and squeezing device 6 corresponds to the squeezing area 1c. The first squeezing and squeezing device 5 includes a first squeezing frame 9a with a first squeezing hole 5a. The first squeezing hole 5a is equipped with a first squeezing component 5b and / or bristles. The first squeezing component 5b can be a squeezing scraper, a squeezing protrusion, a cleaning roller, or a water suction mechanism. The first swiping hole 5a may not have a squeezing component; water in the cleaning area can be absorbed by a wiping material or another adsorption component on the mop head. The second swiping nozzle squeezing device 6 includes a second swiping frame 9b with a second swiping hole 6a. A second squeezing component 6b is provided inside the second swiping hole 6a. The second squeezing component 6b can be a squeezing scraper, a squeezing protrusion, or a cleaning roller. The opening end of the outer tub 11 is connected to a mounting frame 9. The first swiping nozzle squeezing device 5 and the second swiping nozzle squeezing device 6 are mounted on the mounting frame 9. The mounting frame 9 constrains the upper ends of the clean water inner tub 12 and the cleaning inner tub 13.

[0044] The lower end of the wiping material 4 is sleeved or fastened to the mop head 3, and the bottom surface of the wiping material 4 is adhered to the bottom surface of the mop head 3. The mop head 3 is rotated to a squeezeable state that is basically parallel to the mop handle 2, with the lower end of the wiping material 4 facing downward. In this state, the mop head 3 enters the cleaning zone 1a from the first squeezing device 5 and reciprocates, thereby performing a cleaning operation through the first squeezing device 5. The mop head 3 passes through the second squeezing device 6 and reciprocates, thereby performing a squeezing operation through the second squeezing device 6.

[0045] The mounting bracket 9 is equipped with a movable linkage component 8. One end of the linkage component 8 extends into the first swiping hole 5a to form a trigger part 81, and the other end of the linkage component 8 is connected to the switch 7 via a transmission. The mounting bracket 9 has a space P for accommodating the linkage component 8, and the linkage component is constrained within the space P by a ribbed guide structure P1. The wall of the space P has a drain hole P2 communicating with the sewage area 1d. The linkage component 8 and the switch 7 are connected by a slanted groove and protrusion fitting structure. The slanted groove 8a in the slanted groove and protrusion fitting structure is provided on one of the linkage component 8 and the switch 7, and the protrusion 8b in the slanted groove and protrusion fitting structure is provided on the other of the linkage component 8 and the switch 7. The protrusion 8b is inserted into the slanted groove 8a and can slide along the slanted groove 8a. See details. Figure 15 .

[0046] It also includes a first drainage channel D1 for transferring water from the wiping material passing through the first squeegee 5 to the sewage area 1d, and a second drainage channel D2 for transferring water squeezed off the wiping material passing through the second squeegee 6 to the sewage area 1d.

[0047] The working principle and process of this cleaning tool embodiment are as follows:

[0048] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, before cleaning: open the cover 102 and inject clean water into the clean water zone 1a through the water inlet 101. Cover the cover 102 to seal the top of the clean water zone 1a. Turn on the switch 7, and the clean water zone 1a supplies water to the cleaning zone 1b through the water supply channel E. When the water in the cleaning zone 1b exceeds the outlet E2 of the water supply channel E, the clean water zone 1a will no longer supply water to the cleaning zone 1b due to the sealing of the top of the clean water zone 1a and the action of atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the amount of water supplied each time is constant.

[0049] like Figures 7 to 11As shown, the cleaning and initial wringing operation is as follows: After water supply is completed, the mop head 3 passes through the first swiping inlet 5a and enters the cleaning zone 1b. The downward movement of the mop head 3 causes the switch 4 to move downward, so that the switch 7 is in the closed state. Moving the mop head 3 up and down, the first wringing component 5b squeezes and cleans the wiping object 4. Each time, the wastewater squeezed off the wiping object 4 is transferred to the wastewater zone 1c through the first drainage channel D1. This process is repeated until the water in the cleaning zone 1b is completely removed. Because the switch 7 is closed, even if the water level in the cleaning zone 1b decreases, the water supply channel E will no longer supply water. After moving the mop head 3 up and down a few more times, the first wringing component 5b can initially wring the water off the wiping object 4. In some scenarios, it is not necessary to transfer all the water from the cleaning zone 1b; only half of it needs to be transferred because the wringing operation can be performed within the second swiping inlet 6a, eliminating the need for initial wringing. For the second cleaning, simply turn on the switch 7 again and repeat the above steps.

[0050] Thoroughly squeeze out the water: such as Figures 12 to 14 As shown, after washing and initial wringing, the mop head 3 passes through the second water inlet 6a and enters the wringing zone 1c. The mop head 3 triggers the linkage component 8, which drives the switch 7 to move upward and open. The clean water zone 1a supplies water to the washing zone 1b through the water supply channel E for the next cleaning use. The mop head 3 moves up and down repeatedly, and the second wringing component 6b further dries the wiped item 4. The water squeezed off the wiped item 4 is transferred to the wastewater zone 1c through the second drain channel D2. After several repetitions, the wiped item 4 is fully wrung out.
