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 type of mop cleaning tool has the following drawbacks: the "squeezing area" and the "water holding area" are directly connected, and the water flows in one direction only. The wastewater discharged from the squeezing area flows directly back to the water holding area, causing rapid contamination of the water. Subsequently, this contaminated water flows back to the squeezing area through a slow-release mechanism for the next mop wash. This creates a vicious cycle of "dirty water for mop washing - wastewater back - dirty water for washing again," failing to guarantee the use of clean water for each wash and severely impacting the final cleanliness of the wiped items. Because this cleaning tool simply distinguishes between the "squeezing area" and the "water holding area," it fails to consider the physical separation required for clean water storage, washing operations, and wastewater collection. This design fundamentally fails to solve the problems of water pollution and functional interference.

[0005] In conclusion, the aforementioned cleaning tools for cleaning flat mops or sponge mops can be further improved. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a mop cleaning tool that can ensure that the water used to wash the mop is clean every time, in light of the above-mentioned existing technology.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a mop cleaning tool, 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 clean water area, a washing area and a wastewater area that are independent of each other, the clean water area and the washing area are at least partially located in the wastewater area, the clean water area and the washing area are connected by a water supply channel, the water supply channel is controlled to open and close by a switch, the volume of the clean water area is larger than the volume of the washing area, and the cleaning bucket is provided with two first spouts for the mop head to pass through and a squeezing device. The second wringer is connected to the first wringer, which corresponds to the cleaning area. The mop head can pass through the first wringer to enter the cleaning area and move up and down to perform cleaning and wringing operations. When the mop head passes through the first wringer to enter the cleaning area and moves up and down, it can trigger the switch to control the opening and closing of the water supply channel. The second wringer is located outside the cleaning area. The mop head can pass through the second wringer to move up and down to perform wringing operations. The device also includes a first drainage channel for transferring the water squeezed off the wiping object by the first wringer to the sewage area.

[0008] Each time wastewater is scraped off the wiping surface, it is transferred to the outside of the cleaning area through the first drainage channel. This process is repeated multiple times until most of the water in the cleaning area is transferred, ensuring that the water in the cleaning area remains clean when water is supplied from the clean water zone next time. In some scenarios, it is not necessary to transfer all the water in the cleaning area; only half needs to be transferred, as the squeezing operation can be performed through the second drain hole. If there is no first drainage channel, water in the cleaning area can also be transferred to the outside through a drain valve, small drain hole, pumping mechanism, or absorbent component made of highly absorbent material.

[0009] Considering that accidental activation or vibration could lead to uncontrolled water supply, the switch is provided with at least two positioning positions. In the first positioning position, the switch is in the open position, and in the second positioning position, the switch is in the closed position. By fixing the switch state with two positioning positions (open / closed), the water supply channel is ensured to open only when needed, enhancing operational stability and reliability.

[0010] To simplify the operation logic of the switch and enable quick and flexible opening and closing, the switch is moved down to close the water supply channel, and the switch is moved up to open the water supply channel.

[0011] To ensure a tight seal when the switch is closed, it is constrained to the inner wall of the cleaning area by a ribbed guide structure. During the downward movement of the switch, the ribbed guide structure applies a force towards the outlet of the water supply channel. This ribbed guide structure allows the switch to move along a predetermined trajectory and applies a lateral force during downward movement to ensure it is tightly pressed against the outlet of the water supply channel, guaranteeing a complete seal when closed and preventing leakage.

[0012] Further improvements include an end of the switch corresponding to the outlet of the water supply channel, and an upwardly protruding boss on the inner wall of the cleaning area. This boss has a guide slope configured to apply a force to the downward-moving switch in a direction close to the outlet of the water supply channel. The guide slope on the boss ensures the switch contacts the outlet of the water supply channel during downward movement, mechanically forcing alignment and improving sealing reliability. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0013] To ensure the stability of the switch's vertical movement and avoid derailment or detachment, the distance L1 that the switch moves vertically is less than the length L2 of the switch.

[0014] As an improvement, the cleaning bucket also has a separate wringing area, with the second wringing device corresponding to this area. The mop head moves up and down in the wringing area, squeezing out water via the second wringing device. Adding a separate wringing area and a corresponding second wringing device separates the washing and drying functions, allowing the wringing operation to be completed in a dedicated area, avoiding contamination of the washing area. The secondary wringing also further reduces the moisture content of the wiped items.

[0015] As an improvement, a second drainage channel is also included to transfer the water squeezed off the wiping surface by the second rinsing device to the sewage area. The second drainage channel directly introduces the squeezed-out sewage into the sewage area, improving the sewage collection system and preventing water pollution.

[0016] To simplify the installation structure of the cleaning bucket, the cleaning bucket includes an outer bucket, a first inner bucket, and a second inner bucket. The outer bucket has a partition that divides it into a squeezing area and a wastewater area. The first and second inner buckets are at least partially installed within the wastewater area of ​​the outer bucket. The inner cavity of the first inner bucket constitutes the clean water area, and the inner cavity of the second inner bucket constitutes the washing area. Dividing the outer bucket into the squeezing and wastewater areas via a partition, and allowing the wastewater area to accommodate both inner buckets, maximizes space utilization, physically isolates the functional areas, and simplifies the structure of the cleaning bucket.

[0017] Generally, the switch can be operated manually. However, considering that manual operation is cumbersome and easy to forget to turn it on or off, a linkage component corresponding to the second swiping device is also included. The second swiping device includes a second swiping hole through which the mop head can pass. The linkage component includes a triggering component extending to the second swiping hole. The triggering component is kinetically connected to the switch. The triggering component can be triggered by the mop entering the second swiping hole, causing the triggering component to move and drive the switch to open the water supply channel.

[0018] The aforementioned linkage component opens the water supply channel by swinging or moving the switch to rotate or move vertically.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: This invention ensures the use of clean water when washing the mop by independently setting up a clean water zone, a washing zone, and a wastewater zone. The wastewater after squeezing is directly discharged into the wastewater zone, avoiding cross-contamination. The water supply channel is controlled by a switch, triggering water supply only when the mop enters the washing zone, avoiding waste and contamination of clean water. The first wringer is dedicated to the washing zone (cleaning + wringing), and the squeezed wastewater is guided into the wastewater zone through the first drainage channel; the second wringer is independently located outside the washing zone, enabling further squeezing. The clean water zone is larger than the washing zone, ensuring a sufficient supply of clean water to meet the needs of multiple washes and improving cleaning efficiency. Attached Figure Description

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

[0038] In the specification and claims of this utility model, terms indicating direction, such as "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "side," "top," and "bottom," are used to describe various exemplary structural parts and elements of this utility model. However, the use of these terms is merely for the purpose of explanation and is based on the exemplary orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed in this utility model can be arranged in different orientations, these terms indicating direction are for illustrative purposes only and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0039] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0040] Figures 1-15A preferred embodiment of the mop cleaning tool of this utility model is shown.

[0041] A mop cleaning tool 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. The mop head 3 includes an adapter at the top. The mop head 3 is provided with a wiping material 4, which can be a fiber cloth or foam.

[0042] The cleaning tank has separate clean water zone 1a, washing zone 1b, wringing zone 1c, and wastewater zone 1d. Clean water zone 1a is used to provide clean water to washing zone 1b. Clean water zone 1a and washing zone 1b are at least partially located in wastewater zone 1d. Washing zone 1b is provided with a baffle 1b4 to prevent water from flowing into wringing zone 1c.

[0043] More specifically, the cleaning bucket is equipped with a first and a second squeezing device. The first squeezing device includes a first squeezing frame 50a with a first squeezing hole 6a. A first squeezing component 5a is located within the first squeezing hole. As the mop head 3 moves up and down through the first squeezing hole, the first squeezing component 5a squeezes the wiping material 4 on the moving mop head 3, thereby moving, squeezing, and squeezing out water. The second squeezing device includes a second squeezing frame 50b with a second squeezing hole 6b. A second squeezing component 5b is located within the second squeezing hole. As the mop head 3 moves up and down through the second squeezing hole, the second squeezing component 5b squeezes the wiping material 4 on the moving mop head, thereby moving, squeezing, and squeezing out water. The first and second squeezing components can be a scraper, a squeezing protrusion, a cleaning roller, or a water-absorbing mechanism. Of course, the first and second water-squeezing holes may not have a water-squeezing component; the water in the cleaning area can be absorbed by the wiping material or another adsorption component on the mop head.

[0044] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 A mop cleaning tool further includes a first drain channel D1 for transferring water from the cleaning area 1b to the outside of the cleaning area 1b, and a second drain channel D2 for transferring water from the wiping material 4 squeezed off by the second wringing member 5b to the outside of the wringing area 1c. The water outlet direction of the first drain channel D1 is opposite to that of the second drain channel D2. The first drain channel D1 is at least partially located above the first wringing member 5a. At least part of the first drain channel D1 is located on the first swiping rack 50a. The second drain channel D2 is at least partially located on the second swiping rack 50b.

[0045] See Figure 14Both the first drainage channel D1 and the second drainage channel D2 discharge water into the sewage area 1d. The second drainage channel D2 has a first channel D21 extending forward and backward, and a second channel D22 located on both sides of the first channel D21 and extending towards the sewage area 1d. The second channel D22 is connected to the first channel D21. The second channel D22 is inclined downward from the first channel D21 towards the sewage area 1d.

[0046] See Figure 12 In this embodiment, the cleaning tub 1 includes an outer tub 11, a first inner tub 12, and a second inner tub 13. A partition 14 is provided inside the outer tub, dividing the outer tub 11 into a squeezing area 1c and a wastewater area 1d. The first inner tub 12 and the second inner tub 13 are at least partially installed within the wastewater area 1d of the outer tub 11. The inner cavity of the first inner tub 12 forms a clean water area 1a, and the inner cavity of the second inner tub 13 forms a washing area 1b. The first inner tub 12 and the second inner tub 13 are fitted together to form a unit, which can be detached from the outer tub 11.

[0047] Of course, the cleaning bucket can also have the following structure: the cleaning bucket 1 includes an outer bucket 11, a first inner bucket 12, a second inner bucket 13 and a third inner bucket (not shown), the first inner bucket 12, the second inner bucket 13 and the third inner bucket are at least partially installed in the outer bucket 11, the inner cavity of the first inner bucket 12 constitutes the clean water zone 1a, the inner cavity of the second inner bucket 13 constitutes the washing zone 1b, the inner cavity of the third inner bucket constitutes the squeezing zone 1c, and the outer bucket 11 constitutes the wastewater zone 1d.

[0048] See Figure 6 The first inner tub 12 has a first insertion part 121 on its side wall or bottom. The first insertion part 121 has a first water passage hole 122 that connects the outside to its inner cavity. The second inner tub 13 has a second insertion part 131 on its side wall. The second insertion part 131 has a second water passage hole 132 that connects the outside to its inner cavity. The second insertion part 131 is inserted into the first water passage hole 122, and the second water passage hole 132 constitutes the water supply channel E. Alternatively, the first insertion part 121 is inserted into the second water passage hole 132, and the first water passage hole 122 constitutes the water supply channel E.

[0049] The water purification zone 1a and the cleaning zone 1b are connected by the aforementioned water supply channel E. The water supply channel E is controlled by switch 7. Switch 7 can be manually operated by the user; moving switch 7 downwards closes the water supply channel E, and moving switch 7 upwards opens the water supply channel E. The mop works in conjunction with switch 7, causing the switch 7 to move downwards as the mop moves downwards. The ratio of the first volume of the cleaning zone 1b to the second volume occupied by the cleaning zone 1b below the water supply channel E is 2 to 20.

[0050] The switch 7 is constrained to the inner wall of the cleaning area 1b by a ribbed guide structure 74. During the downward movement of the switch 7, the ribbed guide structure 74 applies a force to the switch 7 in the direction of approaching the water outlet end of the water supply channel E. The upper end of the switch 7 is provided with a groove 71 or a raised rib for human operation. The switch 7 is provided with a linkage part 72 that cooperates with the downward-moving mop.

[0051] See Figure 15 The switch 7 has at least two positioning positions. In the first positioning position, the switch 7 is in the open position, and in the second positioning position, the switch 7 is in the closed position. Specifically, the cleaning zone 1b is provided with a positioning structure for positioning the switch 7 in an upward or downward position. The positioning structure includes a positioning plate 7a fixed on the cleaning zone 1b. The positioning plate 7a has a sliding groove 7a1. The side wall of the sliding groove 7a1 has upper positioning points 7a2 and lower positioning points 7a3 that are spaced apart from each other. The switch 7 has a protruding positioning part 73 that enters the sliding groove 7a1 and can slide up and down. When the switch 7 moves upward, the positioning part 73 is above the upper positioning point 7a2, and the upper positioning point 7a2 blocks the downward movement of the positioning part 73. At this time, the switch 7 is in a first locked state. When the switch 7 moves downward, the positioning part 73 is below the lower positioning point 7a3, and the lower positioning point 7a3 blocks the upward movement of the positioning part 73. At this time, the switch 7 is in a second locked state. Of course, the positioning structure can also be in other ways, such as the elastic positioning post on the cleaning bucket and the positioning hole on the switch engaging elastically, or other existing similar positioning methods.

[0052] In this embodiment, the distance L1 that the switch 7 moves up and down is less than the length L2 of the switch 7. That is, the switch 7 itself can be designed to be relatively long to ensure the stability of the switch 7's up and down movement and avoid derailment or disengagement.

[0053] See Figure 6 The inner wall of the cleaning area 1b has an upwardly protruding boss 16. The boss 16 is provided with a guide slope 160. The guide slope 160 is inclined from top to bottom toward the side where the water outlet of the water supply channel E is located. That is, it is configured to apply a force to the downwardly moving switch 7 in the direction of approaching the water outlet of the water supply channel E.

[0054] See Figure 1 The top of the water purification zone 1a is closed, and a water inlet 1a1 is provided at the top of the water purification zone 1a. A cap 1a2 is provided to seal the water inlet 1a1. While water is being supplied to the cleaning zone 1b via the water supply channel 1d, air enters the space above the liquid surface in the water purification zone 1a through the water supply channel E, until the water in the cleaning zone 1b submerges the outlet E2 or inlet E1 of the water supply channel E. Combined with... Figure 2 and Figure 8There is a height distance H between the water supply channel E and the bottom of the cleaning zone 1b. The water level in the cleaning zone 1b when it is above the outlet E2 or inlet E1 of the water supply channel E is the initial water level height S1. When the mop head 3 is fully inside the cleaning zone 1b, the water level in the cleaning zone 1b rises to the second water level height S2, and the height of the wiping material 4 is higher than the second water level height S2.

[0055] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 12 The cleaning bucket also includes a linkage component 8 that is linked to the switch 7. The linkage component 8 can be triggered by a mop entering the second rinsing hole to open the switch 7. The linkage component 8 includes a triggering component that can move left and right. The triggering component has a connecting rod 81 and a trigger head 82 that is provided on the connecting rod 81 and protrudes outward. The trigger head 82 extends to the second rinsing hole, and the connecting rod 81 is connected to the switch 7. The connecting rod 81 moves towards the switch with the trigger head 82, and the connecting rod 81 drives the switch 7 to move upward. The top surface of the trigger head 82 has a sloped section 821. An abutment wall 6b1 is provided on one side of the second rinsing hole. The abutment wall 6b1 can support the mop head 3 passing through the second rinsing hole. The starting position of the sloped section 821 is located behind the abutment wall 6b1.

[0056] The connecting rod 81 and the switch are connected by a groove-protrusion mating structure. The groove 9a in the groove-protrusion mating structure is provided on one of the connecting rod 81 and the switch 7, and the protrusion 9b in the groove-protrusion mating structure is provided on the other of the connecting rod 81 and the switch. The protrusion 9b is inserted into the groove 9a and can slide along the groove 9a.

[0057] The first squeezing component 5a is a squeezing plate, and its middle parts on the front and rear sides are mounted on the cleaning area via a pivot 54. The edge of one side of the first squeezing component 5a is formed to squeeze and scrape the scraping edge 53 of the wiping object 4. The scraping edge 53 and the baffle 51 are located on the left and right sides of the pivot 54, respectively.

[0058] The working principle and process of this cleaning tool embodiment are as follows.

[0059] like Figures 1-6 As shown, before cleaning: first, fill the clean water zone 1a with clean water, 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 has submerged 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.

[0060] like Figures 7-8As shown, the cleaning and initial wringing operation is as follows: After water supply is completed, switch 7 is turned off. The mop head 3 passes through the first swiping hole and enters the cleaning zone 1b. The water level in the cleaning zone 1b is the initial water level S1 when it exceeds the outlet E2 of the water supply channel E. When the mop head 3 is fully inside the cleaning zone 1b, the water level in the cleaning zone 1b rises to the second water level S2, and the height of the wiping object 4 is higher than the second water level S2. The mop head 3 is moved up and down, and the wiping object 4 is squeezed and cleaned by the first wringing component 5a. Each time, the wastewater squeezed off the wiping object 4 is transferred to the wastewater zone 1c through the first drainage channel D1. Repeat this process several times until all the water in the cleaning zone 1b is removed. Because switch 7 is closed, even if the water level in 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 times, the first wringing component 5a can initially squeeze the water out of the wiped item 4. In some cases, it is not necessary to remove all the water from cleaning zone 1b; only half of it needs to be removed, because the wringing operation can be performed within the second rinsing hole 6b, eliminating the need for initial wringing. For the second cleaning, simply turn on switch 7 again and repeat the above steps.

[0061] Thoroughly squeeze out the water: such as Figures 9-11 As shown, after washing and initial wringing, the mop head 3 passes through the second rinsing hole and enters the wringing zone 1c. The mop head 3 triggers the linkage component 8, which in turn moves the switch 7 upward to open it. The clean water zone 1a supplies water to the washing zone 1b via the water supply channel E for the next cleaning use. Moving the mop head 3 up and down, the second wringing component 5b further wrings the wiped item 4 dry. The water squeezed off the wiped item 4 is transferred to the wastewater zone 1c via the second drain channel D2. After repeating this process several times, the wiped item 4 is fully wrung out.

[0062] In summary, this cleaning tool can automatically supply a measured amount of water for each cleaning session, ensuring that only clean water is used to wash the mop each time. This results in better cleaning performance and water conservation. The amount of water in the clean water zone 1a can be used for multiple measured clean water cleanings of the mop. Cleaning and initial wringing are completed in the washing zone 1b. If the user believes that the mop 4 still has too much moisture, further wringing can be performed in the wringing zone 1d to meet customer needs. Of course, thorough wringing is not mandatory; users can choose to use it according to their needs.

[0063] Figures 16-17 A second embodiment of the mop cleaning tool of this utility model is shown.

[0064] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that there is no independent squeezing area, that is, there is no partition 14. The cleaning bucket 1 includes an outer bucket 11, a first inner bucket 12 and a second inner bucket 13. The first inner bucket 12 and the second inner bucket 13 are at least partially installed inside the outer bucket 11 of the outer bucket 11. The inner cavity of the first inner bucket 12 constitutes the water purification area 1a, and the inner cavity of the second inner bucket 13 constitutes the cleaning area 1b. The outer bucket constitutes the exterior of the water purification area 1a and the cleaning area 1b. The second swiping hole corresponds to the inner cavity of the outer bucket 11. The bottom of the outer bucket 11 is provided with a support platform 111 that supports the bottom of the mop head 3 passing through the second swiping hole.

[0065] Because the support platform 111 is raised inside the outer tub 11, the area inside the outer tub 11 below the support platform 11 forms a true wastewater storage area. Water transferred through the second drainage channel D2 of the mop head 3, which passes through the second rinsing hole, flows into the area inside the outer tub 11 below the support platform 111, thereby completing further squeezing. The second rinsing hole and the support platform 111 constitute a squeezing area similar to that in the first embodiment.

[0066] It should be noted that in the description of this embodiment, the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," "down," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.
