Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a mop cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Mops are common household cleaning tools. When using mops to clean floors, the mop head should be washed frequently to ensure the floor remains clean. Mop washing is usually done manually in a bucket or mop sink, and after washing, it needs to be wrung out manually, which is inconvenient and uses a lot of water, resulting in water waste. This is especially true in large places such as large apartments, office buildings, hotels, and hospitals, where mops with a large cleaning area are typically used, making the workload even greater and the operation even more inconvenient.

[0003] In addition, when cleaning the mop, the mop head is swirled in the bucket or mop sink. The dirt remaining at the bottom of the bucket or mop sink will float up again due to the swirling action of the mop head and stick to the mop head, making it difficult to clean the mop thoroughly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model provides a mop cleaning machine that integrates cleaning and wringing, making it particularly suitable for floor cleaning in large venues. The specific solution is as follows: A mop cleaning machine includes a frame and a housing located in the middle of the frame. The housing has an opening at the top for the mop to enter and a drain port on one side of the bottom. A spray assembly is mounted on the housing to spray liquid onto the mop. A brush assembly is mounted on the inner top of the housing and is rotatably connected to the frame. A drive assembly connected to the brush assembly is mounted on the outer side of the housing to drive the brush assembly to rotate and brush the mop. A wringing assembly is also mounted on the frame to wring out the brushed mop.

[0005] Furthermore, the spray assembly includes a spray pipe and a water inlet pipe. The spray pipe is located at the opening of the machine housing above the brush assembly. The spray pipe is connected and fixed to the frame by a retaining ring, and the inner side wall of the spray pipe is provided with several nozzles. Liquid enters the spray pipe through the water inlet pipe and is sprayed onto the mop through the nozzles.

[0006] Furthermore, the spray assembly also includes a water pump and a solenoid valve, which are installed on the water inlet pipe. The water pump and the solenoid valve are respectively connected to the controller, which controls the opening and closing of the water pump and the solenoid valve.

[0007] Furthermore, the brush assembly includes a brush roller and brushes evenly distributed on the outer wall of the brush roller. The brush roller has mounting shafts at both ends, and the frame has shaft holes that are compatible with the mounting shafts. The mounting shafts pass through holes on the housing and are inserted into the shaft holes of the frame, thus rotatably connecting with the frame. One end of the brush roller is also provided with a brush roller gear, which is connected to a drive assembly. The drive assembly drives the brush roller to rotate inward, thereby causing the brushes to rotate to achieve the washing of the mop.

[0008] Furthermore, there are two brush assemblies arranged symmetrically, with a gap between the two brush assemblies for the mop to enter. The brush roller gears of the two brush assemblies mesh with each other, and the drive assembly drives the two brush assemblies to rotate inward relative to each other, so that the brushes on the two brush assemblies cooperate to brush the mop.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a motor mounted on a frame, a first gear on the motor shaft, a second gear meshing above the first gear, a rotating shaft on the second gear, the rotating shaft being rotatably connected to the frame, and a third gear on the rotating shaft, the third gear being located inside the housing and meshing with the brush roller gear of the brush assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, the chassis has a notch on the side near the motor, the motor is housed in the notch and connected to the controller, which controls the motor to turn on and off.

[0011] Furthermore, the squeezing assembly includes an active roller, a passive roller, and a foot bar. The passive roller is mounted on the top of the frame and is rotatably connected to the frame. The active roller is mounted on the top of the foot bar and is rotatably connected to the connecting plate at the top of the foot bar. Lifting lugs are provided on both sides of the middle part of the foot bar, and the lifting lugs are hinged to the frame by pins.

[0012] Furthermore, the spray assembly has a sensor probe installed near the opening of the housing. The sensor probe is connected to the controller. When the sensor probe detects the mop, it transmits a signal to the controller, which then controls the motor of the drive assembly and the solenoid valve and water pump of the spray assembly to start working.

[0013] Furthermore, a cover is provided on the outside of the frame, and the cover is fixed to the frame by bolts.

[0014] This utility model has a simple structure and reasonable design. In use, the mop is placed between the brush components in the machine casing. Liquid is sprayed onto the mop through the spray component. The brush components can rotate and brush the mop at the same time, which saves water resources and solves the technical problem that the existing technology cannot automatically clean the mop. This utility model realizes automatic cleaning of the mop, saves manpower, and after cleaning the mop, it can also squeeze the mop dry without the need to wring it by hand. The wastewater from cleaning the mop and the water from squeezing the mop can be discharged through the drain interface of the machine casing, which is convenient and hygienic.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] To better understand the purpose, function, and specific design of this utility model, the mop cleaning machine of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the mop cleaning machine of this utility model includes a frame 1 and a housing 4 disposed in the middle of the frame 1. The top of the housing 4 has an opening for the mop to enter, and a drain port 41 is provided on one side of the bottom of the housing 4. The drain port 41 is connected to a drain pipe to discharge the wastewater from washing the mop and the water from wringing out the mop outside the housing 4. A spray assembly 5 is provided on the housing 4 to spray liquid toward the mop. A brush assembly 6 is provided on the inner top of the housing 4. The brush assembly 6 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. A drive assembly 7 connected to the brush assembly 6 is provided on the outside of the housing 4 to drive the brush assembly 6 to rotate, thereby brushing the mop. A wringing assembly 3 is also provided on the frame 1 to wring out the brushed mop.

[0018] Specifically, such as Figures 3-7 As shown, the spray assembly 5 includes a spray pipe 51 and a water inlet pipe 54. The spray pipe 51 and the water inlet pipe 54 are an integral structure. During manufacturing, one end of the pipe is bent into a rectangular frame to form the spray pipe 51. The spray pipe 51 is located at the opening of the housing 4 above the brush assembly 6. The spray pipe 51 is connected and fixed to the frame 1 by a retaining ring. The inner side wall of the spray pipe 51 is provided with several nozzles 511. Liquid enters the spray pipe 51 through the water inlet pipe 54 and is sprayed onto the mop through the nozzles 511.

[0019] The spray assembly 5 also includes a water pump 52 and a solenoid valve 53. The water pump 52 and the solenoid valve 53 are installed on the water inlet pipe 54. The water pump 52 and the solenoid valve 53 are respectively connected to the controller, which controls the opening and closing of the water pump 52 and the solenoid valve 53.

[0020] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 11 As shown, the brush assembly 6 includes a brush roller 61 and brushes 62 evenly distributed on the outer wall of the brush roller 61. The brushes 62 of this invention are polished to prevent them from snagging the mop. Mounting shafts 611 are provided at both ends of the brush roller 61. The frame 1 has shaft holes adapted to the mounting shafts 611. The mounting shafts 611 pass through holes in the housing 4 and are inserted into the shaft holes of the frame 1, rotatably connecting with the frame 1. A brush roller gear 63 is also provided at one end of the brush roller 61. The brush roller gear 63 is connected to the drive assembly 7. The drive assembly 7 drives the brush roller 61 to rotate inward, thereby causing the brushes 62 to rotate and achieve the purpose of brushing the mop.

[0021] There are two brush assemblies 6 arranged symmetrically. There is a gap between the two brush assemblies 6 for the mop to enter. The brush roller gears 63 of the two brush assemblies 6 mesh with each other. The drive assembly 7 drives the two brush assemblies 6 to rotate inward relative to each other, so that the brushes 62 on the two brush assemblies 6 cooperate to brush the mop.

[0022] like Figures 3-7 As shown, the drive assembly 7 includes a motor 71, which is mounted on the frame 1. A first gear 72 is provided on the motor shaft of the motor 71, and a second gear 73 meshes above the first gear 72. A rotating shaft 75 is provided on the second gear 73, and the rotating shaft 75 is rotatably connected to the frame. A third gear 74 is also provided on the rotating shaft 75. The third gear 74 is located inside the housing 4 and meshes with the brush roller gear 63 of the brush assembly 6.

[0023] The chassis 4 has a notch on the side near the motor 71. The motor 71 is housed in the notch of the chassis 4 and is connected to the controller, which controls the opening and closing of the motor 71.

[0024] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the squeezing assembly 3 includes an active roller 31, a passive roller 32, and a foot bar 33. The passive roller 32 is mounted on the top of the frame 1 and is rotatably connected to the frame 1. The active roller 31 is mounted on the top of the foot bar 33 and is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 331 on the top of the foot bar 33. The foot bar 33 has lifting lugs 332 on both sides of the middle part, and the lifting lugs 332 are hinged to the frame 1 by pins.

[0025] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the spray assembly 5 has a sensor 8 installed at the opening near the housing 4. The sensor 8 is connected to the controller. When the sensor 8 senses the mop, it transmits a signal to the controller, which then opens the solenoid valve 53, the water pump 52, and the motor 71.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, for aesthetic purposes, a cover 2 is also provided on the outside of the frame 1, and the cover 2 is fixed to the frame 1 by bolts. The cover 2 can protect the controller, water pump 52, solenoid valve 53 and drive assembly 7 from dust accumulation. The controller is installed on the outside of the housing 4.

[0027] like Figures 8-10As shown, during use, the water inlet pipe 54 is connected to a faucet. The mop extends from the gap between the active roller 31 and the passive roller 32 into the space between the two brush assemblies 6, without contacting the bottom of the housing 4. After the sensor 8 detects the mop, it transmits a signal to the controller, which then opens the solenoid valve 53, the water pump 52, and the motor 71. The water pump 52 draws water from the water inlet pipe 54 and delivers it to the spray pipe 51, where it is sprayed onto the mop through the nozzles 511. While the water pump 52 is operating, the motor 71 drives the first gear 72 to rotate the second gear 73, and the third gear 74 rotates with the second gear 73, thereby rotating the brush assembly 6. The brush assembly 6 rotates while simultaneously brushing the mop, and the wastewater from the brushing falls into the housing 4 and is discharged through the drain pipe.

[0028] The cleaned mop is draped over the passive roller 32. The foot pedal 33 is pressed down, causing the active roller 31 to press against the passive roller 32, squeezing the mop between them. The mop is then slowly pulled upwards, causing the active and passive rollers 31 and 32 to rotate due to friction, squeezing out the water. The squeezed water falls into the housing 4 and is drained through the drain pipe. The pedal 33 is then released, returning to its original position. After the mop is squeezed dry and pulled out, the sensor 8 no longer detects it and transmits a signal to the controller, which then shuts off the solenoid valve 53, water pump 52, and motor 71, stopping the operation.

[0029] When the floor needs to be sterilized and disinfected, add water and disinfectant to a bucket. After mixing the disinfectant and water, insert the water inlet pipe into the bucket, use a water pump to draw the disinfectant water from the bucket, and spray it onto the mop through the nozzle of the spray pipe. This can sterilize and disinfect the floor, ensuring hygiene, and also sterilize and disinfect the mop.

[0030] This invention integrates washing and wringing, making it particularly suitable for floor cleaning in large venues. It saves water resources, automates mop cleaning, reduces labor costs by eliminating the need for hand wringing, and allows wastewater from washing and water from wringing the mop to be discharged through the drain port of the machine casing, ensuring convenience and hygiene.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
