Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning tools technology, and in particular to a mop bucket. Background Technology

[0002] A mop bucket is a common cleaning tool in daily life, mainly used for storing and washing mops. It is usually made of plastic or metal and designed to be deep enough to hold enough water to wash the mop.

[0003] Traditional mop buckets are mostly single-bucket buckets with only one liquid reservoir. While simple in structure, these buckets have several drawbacks in practical use. When users wash the mop in a single-bucket bucket, the dirt washed off by the mop brush quickly contaminates the water. When washing the mop again, users must use this contaminated water, leading to secondary contamination. Otherwise, frequent water changes are necessary to ensure the mop remains clean, resulting in extremely low cleaning efficiency.

[0004] To address the issues of cross-contamination and low cleaning efficiency caused by frequent water changes when washing a single-bucket mop, related technologies have provided a mop bucket with multiple liquid storage chambers. These chambers separate wastewater and clean water, ensuring that only relatively clean water is used for mopping, thus solving the problem of "the more you mop, the dirtier it gets." Furthermore, it eliminates the need for frequent water changes, allowing for cleaning of a larger area with a single fill, improving cleaning efficiency. However, some of these multi-chamber mop buckets lack a drain outlet, requiring users to lift the entire bucket to empty the wastewater. The multiple chambers cannot drain independently, which is laborious and prone to splashing. While some mop buckets do have drain outlets, users must open each outlet individually, resulting in low overall drainage efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a mop bucket that enables the simultaneous opening and closing of multiple drain outlets via a single drive device. This addresses the problems in related technologies where multiple liquid storage chambers cannot drain individually when the mop bucket is tilted, resulting in laborious drainage and easy splashing of wastewater, as well as the low overall drainage efficiency when draining water separately through the drain outlets.

[0006] This utility model provides a mop bucket, which includes multiple liquid storage chambers, multiple drain plugs and a drive device.

[0007] Each liquid storage chamber has a drain outlet at its lower part; different drain plugs are respectively matched with the drain outlets of different liquid storage chambers; the drive device is movably mounted on the mop bucket and connected to multiple drain plugs.

[0008] The drive unit moves relative to the mop bucket, causing multiple drain plugs to move simultaneously, thereby opening or closing the drain outlets of multiple liquid storage chambers at the same time.

[0009] In the above structure, a drain outlet is located at the bottom of each liquid storage chamber, allowing drainage to occur without the user needing to lift the entire mop bucket. This saves effort and prevents wastewater from splashing everywhere. Different drain plugs are designed to work in conjunction with the drain outlets of different liquid storage chambers, allowing each chamber to drain independently and achieving precise control over the drainage of each chamber. The drive unit is movably mounted on the mop bucket and connected to multiple drain plugs, enabling simultaneous control of multiple drain plugs.

[0010] When the drive unit moves relative to the mop bucket, it can simultaneously activate multiple drain plugs. This combined feature allows the user to open or close the drain outlets of multiple liquid storage chambers with a single operation, thus simplifying the operation and improving drainage efficiency.

[0011] The aforementioned mop bucket integrates multiple liquid storage chambers, drain plugs, and a drive mechanism, enabling simultaneous control of multiple drain outlets via a single drive unit. This solves the problems of indigestion and splashing of wastewater in related technologies when emptying mop buckets, as well as the complex operation and low overall drainage efficiency of draining water separately through drain outlets. It not only improves the user experience but also makes cleaning and maintenance of the mop bucket more convenient. The overall solution embodies an efficient and practical design philosophy.

[0012] In some examples, the drive unit includes an operating part and a transmission part, the operating part being movably disposed in the mop bucket, one end of the transmission part being connected to the operating part, and the other end being connected to a plurality of drain plugs.

[0013] The operating part moves relative to the mop bucket, which in turn moves the transmission part. The movement of the transmission part causes multiple drain plugs to move simultaneously, thereby opening or closing the drain outlets of multiple liquid storage chambers at the same time.

[0014] The operating unit in the aforementioned drive mechanism is movably located within the mop bucket, a feature that allows the user to control drainage by operating the operating unit. This movable design provides a convenient operating method, making the drainage process simpler and more efficient.

[0015] One end of the transmission unit connects to the operating unit, and the other end connects to multiple drain plugs. This feature ensures that the action of the operating unit is accurately transmitted to the drain plugs, achieving synchronous operation of multiple drain plugs, ensuring consistency among the drain plugs, and preventing accidental water accumulation or drainage due to a drain plug being left open or closed. The transmission unit not only transmits force but also achieves a labor-saving effect, further improving the portability and ease of use of the mop bucket.

[0016] When the operating part moves relative to the mop bucket, it drives the transmission part to move as well. The movement of the transmission part, in turn, causes multiple drain plugs to move simultaneously. This chain reaction allows the drain outlets of multiple liquid storage chambers to open or close at the same time. This combination of technical features not only simplifies the operation process, allowing users to control the drainage of multiple liquid storage chambers with a single operation, but also improves the consistency and synchronization of drainage, ensuring the drainage efficiency of the mop bucket.

[0017] Through the coordinated operation of the operating unit, transmission unit, and drain plugs, convenient and efficient control of multiple drain outlets in the mop bucket is achieved. With simple operation, users can synchronize the action of multiple drain plugs, thereby quickly draining the wastewater from the bucket and rapidly closing the drain outlets.

[0018] In some examples, the transmission unit includes multiple transmission sub-units; the ends of the multiple transmission sub-units near the operating unit are all connected to the operating unit, and different transmission sub-units are connected to drain plugs that cooperate with the drain ports of different liquid storage chambers.

[0019] The operating unit is driven to move relative to the mop bucket, which in turn drives multiple transmission sub-units to move simultaneously relative to the mop bucket. The simultaneous movement of these multiple transmission sub-units opens or closes multiple drain outlets at the same time.

[0020] In the above structure, the transmission unit consists of multiple transmission sub-units, each of which is connected to the operating unit and engages with the drain plugs on the drain ports of different liquid storage chambers. This design allows the operating unit to control the on / off state of multiple drain ports, improving operational flexibility and efficiency.

[0021] When the operating unit is driven to move relative to the mop bucket, it can simultaneously move all the transmission sub-units relative to the mop bucket. This synchronized movement ensures that multiple drain outlets can be opened or closed at the same time, realizing the simultaneous discharge or retention of liquid in different liquid storage chambers of the mop bucket, enhancing the coordination and practicality of the mop bucket.

[0022] Through the coordinated operation of the operating unit, transmission unit, and drain plug, precise control of the liquid in multiple storage chambers of the mop bucket is achieved. Users can easily manage the liquid discharge from different storage chambers by simply operating the operating unit, improving the convenience and efficiency of cleaning work.

[0023] In some examples, the drain outlet for each reservoir is located at the bottom of the reservoir, near the center of the bottom of the mop bucket.

[0024] Different transmission components are installed in different liquid storage chambers along the depth direction of the mop bucket.

[0025] The operating unit moves relative to the mop bucket under drive, causing multiple transmission sub-units to move up and down simultaneously along the depth direction of the mop bucket. The up and down movement of the multiple transmission sub-units causes the drain plugs connected to them to move up and down, so as to open or close multiple drain outlets simultaneously.

[0026] In the above structure, the drain outlet of each liquid storage chamber is located at the bottom of the liquid storage chamber near the center of the bottom of the mop bucket. This design makes the drainage smoother and more thorough, less likely to cause water accumulation or blockage, improves drainage efficiency, and can prevent residual sewage in the mop bucket from producing odors, ensuring that all sewage is drained and less likely to breed bacteria.

[0027] Different drive units are housed within different liquid storage chambers, and the operating unit can simultaneously move multiple drive units up and down along the depth of the mop bucket. This combined design allows for simultaneous control of the drain outlets of multiple liquid storage chambers via a single operating unit, improving operational convenience and efficiency. Furthermore, the ability of multiple drive units to move up and down along the depth of the mop bucket eliminates the need for the operating unit to be located at the bottom of the bucket, eliminating the need for users to squat or bend deeply to operate it, thus reducing operational difficulty and making it more user-friendly.

[0028] The aforementioned structure allows for simultaneous control of drainage from multiple storage chambers via a single operating unit, simplifying the operation process and reducing complexity, while also improving the practicality and user experience of the mop bucket. Furthermore, this design is compact, easy to maintain, and easy to clean.

[0029] In some examples, a cylindrical partition with an open lower end is provided at the center of the mop bucket along the depth direction, multiple liquid storage chambers are arranged circumferentially along the partition, and the drain outlet of each liquid storage chamber is provided on the side wall of the partition and communicates with the external area of ​​the mop bucket through the opening of the partition.

[0030] The transmission part is inserted into the hollow area of ​​the separator. The operating part is driven to move relative to the mop bucket, which drives the transmission part to move up and down along the axial direction of the cylindrical separator. The up and down movement of the transmission part drives the drain plug to move up and down, so as to open or close the drain outlets of multiple liquid storage chambers at the same time.

[0031] The aforementioned separator positions the transmission unit outside the storage chamber, completely isolating it from the wastewater or clean water within. This prevents impurities from the wastewater from adhering to the drain plug, affecting its sealing performance and smooth operation, and also prevents bacteria growth, odors, or premature aging of the transmission unit. The isolation design places the transmission unit within the relatively clean and dry hollow area of ​​the separator, ensuring the drain plug does not contact impurities during drainage. This reduces the amount of impurities adhering to the drain plug, ensuring a good seal and smooth operation, and extending its lifespan. The transmission unit remains clean and dry, further extending its service life. Furthermore, various designs are available to meet diverse user needs.

[0032] Multiple liquid storage chambers are arranged circumferentially along the partition, and a transmission unit passes through the hollow area of ​​the partition. The design, with the operating unit driving the transmission unit to move up and down, allows users to easily open or close the drain outlets of multiple liquid storage chambers simultaneously. This combined design not only improves drainage efficiency but also simplifies the operation process and enhances the user experience.

[0033] Through the coordinated operation of the separator, liquid storage chamber, transmission unit, and operating unit, a compact and versatile mop bucket design is achieved. This design not only meets users' diverse mop bucket design needs but also improves the convenience of cleaning and drainage efficiency. Furthermore, the structure ensures the sealing effect of the drain plug and the cleanliness and dryness of the transmission unit, effectively extending the service life of both the drain plug and the transmission unit.

[0034] In some examples, the operating part is located on the outer wall of the mop bucket.

[0035] The operating part moves relative to the outer wall of the mop bucket, which in turn drives the transmission part to move.

[0036] The aforementioned operating part is located on the outer wall of the mop bucket, allowing users to easily operate the part from the outside without having to open or disassemble other parts of the mop bucket, thus improving ease of use.

[0037] The operating part moves relative to the outer wall of the mop bucket, thereby driving the transmission part. This combination creates an effective linkage mechanism between the operating part and the transmission part, allowing the user to indirectly control the movement of the transmission part by operating the operating part. This enables remote control of the internal structure of the mop bucket, enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of use.

[0038] The overall design, with the operating part movable on the outer wall of the mop bucket and driven by the transmission part, not only improves the ease of use and flexibility of the mop bucket but also helps optimize the user's operating experience and reduce labor intensity. At the same time, this design may also help reduce the risk of damage to the mop bucket and extend its service life.

[0039] In some examples, the operating part is rotatably mounted on the outer wall surface.

[0040] The operating part is driven to rotate relative to the outer wall of the mop bucket, which in turn drives the transmission part to move.

[0041] The aforementioned operating part is rotatably mounted on the outer wall, allowing users to drive the movement of related components by rotating the operating part, providing convenience and flexibility in operation. Users can achieve certain functions of the mop bucket, such as drainage and washing, simply by rotating the part without using additional tools or force, thus improving ease of use.

[0042] The operating part rotates relative to the outer wall of the mop bucket, simultaneously driving the transmission part. This combination enables power transmission from the operating part to the transmission part, allowing the user's rotational actions to be converted into corresponding motion in the transmission part, which in turn drives other components inside the mop bucket. This design not only improves operational efficiency but also ensures the accuracy and reliability of power transmission.

[0043] In some examples, the drain outlets of multiple liquid storage chambers are arranged coaxially, or the drain outlets of multiple liquid storage chambers are axially parallel.

[0044] One of the operating part and the transmission part is provided with a slant groove, and the other is provided with a slider. The slider is inserted into the slant groove and slides in cooperation with the slant groove.

[0045] The operating part is driven to rotate relative to the outer wall of the mop bucket, the slider slides along the inclined groove, and drives the transmission part to move axially along the drain outlet of multiple liquid storage chambers. The transmission part drives multiple drain plugs to move axially along the drain outlet of multiple liquid storage chambers at the same time, so as to open or close the drain outlet of multiple liquid storage chambers simultaneously.

[0046] The drain outlets of the aforementioned liquid storage chambers are coaxially or axially parallel, facilitating unified management and operation of the drain outlets and improving drainage convenience and efficiency. The operating unit and transmission unit, through the cooperation of inclined grooves and sliders, enable axial movement of the transmission unit when the operating unit rotates. This structural design is simple and provides stable and reliable transmission.

[0047] By setting the drain outlets of the liquid storage chambers on the same or parallel axis, and combining the inclined groove sliding fit structure of the operating part and the transmission part, the operating part can synchronously drive multiple drain plugs to move along the axial direction of the drain outlet when it rotates, so as to realize the synchronous opening or closing of the drain outlets of multiple liquid storage chambers, which improves the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0048] This application achieves synchronous control of the drain outlets of multiple liquid storage chambers by rationally designing the layout of the drain outlets in the liquid storage chambers and the cooperation structure between the operating unit and the transmission unit. This simplifies the operation process and improves the automation level of drainage control. Furthermore, the solution is compact, easy to implement and maintain, and has high practicality and application value.

[0049] In some examples, limit slots are provided at both ends of the inclined groove; when the slider slides along the inclined groove to the end of the inclined groove and is limited to the limit slot at the end, multiple drain plugs remain in the current position, so that multiple drain ports remain in the open or closed state.

[0050] The aforementioned structure features limiting grooves at both ends of the inclined groove, ensuring that the slider remains stably stationary at the end of the groove. This design prevents the slider from moving easily due to accidents or external forces, thus guaranteeing that the drain plug can be stably and reliably maintained in its current position, keeping the drain outlet in either the open or closed state.

[0051] When the slider slides along the inclined groove to its end and is confined in the limiting groove at the end, multiple drain plugs can remain in their current positions. This means that by sliding and limiting the slider in the inclined groove, unified control of the open or closed states of multiple drain outlets can be achieved. This combined technical feature not only improves the ease of operation but also enhances the overall coordination and stability of the system.

[0052] By combining inclined grooves, sliders, and limiting grooves, a simple yet effective drain outlet control mechanism is achieved. This combination allows users to easily open or close multiple drain outlets as needed, improving drainage efficiency. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for continuous manual operation of the control unit during drainage, further enhancing ease of use and improving the user experience.

[0053] In some examples, the operating part has a mounting arm extending toward the transmission part on the side near the transmission part, a slider is provided at the end of the mounting arm, and a slant is provided in the transmission part.

[0054] The aforementioned operating part has a mounting arm extending towards the transmission part on the side closest to the transmission part. This arrangement allows the slider to be stably mounted near the transmission part, ensuring operational accuracy and stability. The extended mounting arm further strengthens the connection between the slider and the transmission part, reducing the risk of displacement or damage due to improper operation or external forces.

[0055] The slider is located at the end of the mounting arm, and the inclined groove is located in the transmission unit. This combination design achieves effective cooperation between the slider and the transmission unit. When the transmission unit moves, the inclined groove guides the slider to move accordingly, thereby realizing a specific operational function. This design not only improves operational flexibility but also ensures operational accuracy and reliability.

[0056] In some examples, the slant groove is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the transmission part.

[0057] By placing inclined grooves on the outer circumference of the transmission unit, specific media or forces, such as lubricating oil, coolant, or power, can be effectively guided or transmitted, making the transmission process smoother and more efficient. The inclination angle and direction of the inclined grooves are carefully designed to ensure that the media or forces act on the transmission unit in the optimal way, reducing energy consumption, improving transmission efficiency, and achieving a labor-saving effect.

[0058] In some examples, the drain outlets of multiple liquid storage chambers are arranged coaxially, or the drain outlets of multiple liquid storage chambers are axially parallel, and various designs can meet the diverse needs of users.

[0059] One of the operating part and the transmission part is provided with an inclined surface, and the other is provided with an abutment block.

[0060] The operating part is driven to rotate relative to the outer wall of the mop bucket, the abutment block slides along the inclined surface, and drives the transmission part to move axially along the drain outlet of multiple liquid storage chambers. The transmission part drives multiple drain plugs to move axially along the drain outlet of multiple liquid storage chambers at the same time, so as to open or close the drain outlet of multiple liquid storage chambers simultaneously.

[0061] In the above structure, the drain ports of multiple liquid storage chambers can be arranged coaxially or axially parallel, and various designs can meet diverse user needs. With the drain ports of multiple liquid storage chambers coaxially arranged, the transmission unit moves the drain plug corresponding to each drain port along the coaxial axis, enabling simultaneous control of multiple drain ports opening or closing sequentially. With the drain ports of multiple liquid storage chambers axially parallel, each drain plug moves along the axial direction of its corresponding drain port, enabling simultaneous control of multiple drain ports opening or closing simultaneously. Both methods ensure consistent drainage, improving operational flexibility and drainage efficiency.

[0062] By using the cooperation of inclined planes and abutment blocks between the operating part and the transmission part, the conversion of rotational force into linear motion force is realized. This design simplifies the transmission structure and improves the efficiency and stability of the transmission.

[0063] The control unit can rotate relative to the outer wall of the mop bucket. This design allows users to control the drain plug with a simple rotation, making operation convenient and quick.

[0064] When the operating unit rotates, the abutment block slides along the inclined plane. This sliding motion drives the transmission unit to move axially along the drain ports of multiple liquid storage chambers. Since the drain ports are coaxially arranged or axially parallel, the transmission unit can simultaneously drive multiple drain plugs to move coaxially or simultaneously drive multiple drain plugs to move along parallel axes, thereby realizing the simultaneous opening or closing of the drain ports of multiple liquid storage chambers. This combined design not only improves the convenience of operation but also ensures the synchronicity and consistency of drainage from multiple liquid storage chambers.

[0065] In some examples, limiters are provided at both ends of the inclined plane; when the abutting block slides along the inclined plane to abut against the limiters of the inclined plane, multiple drain plugs remain in their current positions, so that multiple drain outlets remain in the open or closed state.

[0066] The aforementioned structure features limiting portions at both ends of the inclined plane. This technical feature ensures that the abutment block stops precisely at the position abutting the limiting portions as it slides along the inclined plane. In this way, the drain plug can be stably maintained in its current position, reliably held whether open or closed.

[0067] The combined design of the inclined surface and the limiting part, along with the mechanism of the abutment block sliding along the inclined surface to abut against the limiting part, together achieve precise control and stable maintenance of the drain plug position. This combination not only improves the reliability and stability of the drainage system but also simplifies the operation process, making the opening and closing of the drain outlet more convenient.

[0068] In some examples, the operating part has a connecting arm extending toward the transmission part on the side near the transmission part, and an abutment block is formed at the end of the connecting arm; the end of the transmission part near the operating part has an inclined surface along the circumference of the transmission part.

[0069] In the above structure, the operating part has a connecting arm extending towards the transmission part on the side closest to the transmission part. This design makes the connection between the operating part and the transmission part more stable, effectively transmitting operating force and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of transmission. The end of the connecting arm forms an abutment block. As a key part that contacts the inclined surface of the transmission part, the abutment block is rationally designed in shape and position to ensure sufficient friction with the inclined surface during operation, achieving a stable transmission effect.

[0070] The end of the transmission unit near the operating unit has a circumferentially inclined surface that engages with a stop block on the operating unit. This combination of the inclined surface and the stop block not only converts the rotational motion of the transmission unit into the linear motion of the operating unit, but also adjusts the sensitivity and force of the transmission by varying the angle of the inclined surface and the shape of the stop block. This design makes operation smoother and provides a better user experience.

[0071] By combining the connecting arm, the abutment block, and the inclined plane, stable and sensitive transmission between the operating part and the transmission part is achieved. This design not only improves the performance and user experience of the mop bucket, but also reduces noise and wear during the transmission process, extending the service life of the mop bucket.

[0072] In some examples, the mop bucket also includes a reset element disposed between the drive unit and the mop bucket, or between at least one drain plug and the mop bucket.

[0073] When the drive unit is driven to move relative to the mop bucket to simultaneously move multiple drain plugs and open or close the drain outlets of multiple liquid storage chambers, the reset component stores force; when the reset component releases force, it causes the drain plugs to move and reset, and also causes the drive unit to reset.

[0074] The aforementioned reset mechanism allows it to store force when the drive device moves the drain plug; once the drive device completes its action, the reset mechanism releases the force, causing the drain plug and drive device to reset. This feature ensures that the drain plug and drive device can accurately and quickly return to their initial positions, preparing for the next operation and simplifying the user's operation.

[0075] The combination of the reset element, drive unit, and drain plugs enables the automatic opening and closing of the mop bucket's drain outlet. Driven by the drive unit, multiple drain plugs can move simultaneously, opening or closing the drain outlets of multiple liquid storage chambers. The resetting element's force storage and release process ensures the smooth completion of this action and subsequent reset. This combination enhances the automation of the mop bucket and simplifies the user's operation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0079] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0080] The following is combined Figures 1-10 The present invention describes a mop bucket 1000, which can be used in conjunction with a mop structure 2000, and multiple liquid storage chambers 100 can be used to independently rinse the mop structure 2000.

[0081] The number and layout of the liquid storage chambers 100 can be flexibly designed according to actual needs. For example, liquid storage chambers 100 of different sizes and shapes can be set to adapt to different types of mop structures and rinsing requirements. This design makes the mop bucket 1000 more functionally diverse and practical, improving user satisfaction and drainage efficiency.

[0082] During the use of the mop bucket 1000, the user can control the opening and closing of the drain plug 200 via the operating unit 310, thereby discharging the liquid in the storage chamber 100. The design of the operating unit 310 allows the user to complete the operation with a simple rotation or push action, improving ease of use and efficiency. Simultaneously, the operating unit 310 can be equipped with different indicators or indicator lights to indicate the current operating status or liquid type, further enhancing intuitiveness and safety during use.

[0083] This utility model's mop bucket 1000, through the rational design of components such as the liquid storage chamber 100, separator, operating part 310, transmission part 320, and reset part 500, achieves synchronous control and automated operation of multiple liquid storage chambers 100 and drain outlets 110. This design not only improves ease of use and efficiency but also enhances the overall stability and reliability of the system. Furthermore, this solution is compact, easy to implement and maintain, and possesses high practicality and application value.

[0084] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some examples, the mop bucket 1000 includes multiple liquid storage chambers 100, multiple drain plugs 200, and a drive unit 300.

[0085] Each liquid storage chamber 100 is provided with a drain outlet 110 at its lower part; different drain plugs 200 are respectively configured to cooperate with the drain outlets 110 of different liquid storage chambers 100; the drive device 300 is movably mounted on the mop bucket 1000 and is connected to multiple drain plugs 200.

[0086] The drive unit 300 is driven to move relative to the mop bucket 1000, causing multiple drain plugs 200 to move simultaneously, so as to open or close the drain outlets 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100 at the same time.

[0087] In the above structure, each liquid storage chamber 100 has a drain outlet 110 at its lower part. Drainage occurs through these outlets, eliminating the need for the user to lift the entire mop bucket 1000, saving effort and preventing wastewater from splashing everywhere. Different drain plugs 200 are configured to cooperate with the drain outlets 110 of different liquid storage chambers 100, allowing each liquid storage chamber 100 to drain independently, achieving precise control over the drainage of each chamber. The drive device 300 is movably mounted on the mop bucket 1000 and connected to multiple drain plugs 200, enabling simultaneous control of multiple drain plugs 200.

[0088] When the drive unit 300 is driven to move relative to the mop bucket 1000, the drive unit 300 can simultaneously move multiple drain plugs 200. This combination feature allows the user to open or close the drain outlets 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100 simultaneously with a single operation, thereby simplifying the operation and improving drainage efficiency.

[0089] The aforementioned mop bucket 1000 integrates multiple liquid storage chambers 100, drain plugs 200, and a drive device 300, enabling simultaneous control of multiple drain outlets 110 by a single drive device 300. This solves the problems in related technologies where multiple liquid storage chambers 100 cannot drain independently when the mop bucket 1000 is tilted, resulting in laborious drainage and easy splashing of wastewater, as well as the drawbacks of complex operation and low overall drainage efficiency when draining through the drain outlets 110 individually. This not only improves the user experience but also makes cleaning and maintenance of the mop bucket 1000 more convenient. The overall solution embodies an efficient and practical design philosophy.

[0090] In this application, the drive device 300 not only connects stably to multiple drain plugs 200, but also ensures that the actions of each drain plug 200 are coordinated during the driving process. This design allows the user to simultaneously open or close the drain outlets 110 of all liquid storage chambers 100 by simply rotating, swinging, pressing, or pulling, greatly improving operational efficiency. Different liquid storage chambers 100 can also be opened and closed individually through different operating actions. Furthermore, the movable configuration of the drive device 300 allows it to adapt to mop buckets 1000 of different sizes and shapes, further enhancing the versatility and practicality of the solution.

[0091] The number, capacity, and shape of the liquid storage chambers 100 can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different types of cleaning liquids and cleaning tasks. The material and structure of the drain plugs 200 can also be optimized to improve their sealing performance and durability. For example, using rubber or silicone materials for the drain plugs 200 can better seal the drain outlet 110 and prevent liquid leakage; at the same time, the shape design of the drain plugs 200 can fit tightly with the drain outlet 110, improving the sealing effect. Furthermore, the design of the drive unit 300 can also incorporate intelligent elements, such as sensors and controllers, to achieve more precise liquid discharge control, improving cleaning efficiency and user experience.

[0092] The above design allows users to easily achieve simultaneous operation of multiple drain outlets 110 through the integrated control of the drive unit 300, greatly improving ease of use and efficiency. During the cleaning process, users can quickly switch or use different liquids simultaneously according to the needs of the cleaning task, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0093] Different types and brands of cleaning solutions can be added to the various liquid storage chambers 100 to meet the needs of diverse cleaning tasks. These solutions can be highly effective cleaners specifically designed for particular stains or materials, or general-purpose cleaners. Furthermore, if chemical cleaners are not desired, tap water can be added for basic cleaning. This design makes the equipment highly flexible and adaptable, accommodating the diverse needs of different users.

[0094] Specifically, the aforementioned cleaning solutions can be highly efficient, multi-purpose floor cleaning products, designed specifically for mop cleaning, and suitable for various hard surfaces, including tile, wood flooring, marble, and cement floors. For example, some cleaning products may utilize advanced biodegradable technology to quickly break down deep-seated stains and hardened grease on the floor without negatively impacting the floor material or the ecological environment.

[0095] Reference Figure 3 In some examples, the drive unit 300 includes an operating part 310 and a transmission part 320. The operating part 310 is movably disposed on the mop bucket 1000, and one end of the transmission part 320 is connected to the operating part 310, while the other end is connected to a plurality of drain plugs 200.

[0096] The operating unit 310 is driven to move relative to the mop bucket 1000, which in turn drives the transmission unit 320 to move. The movement of the transmission unit 320 drives multiple drain plugs 200 to move simultaneously, so as to open or close the drain outlets 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100 at the same time.

[0097] The operating unit 310 in the aforementioned drive device 300 is movably mounted on the mop bucket 1000, a feature that allows the user to control drainage by operating the operating unit 310. The movable design of the operating unit 310 provides the user with a convenient operating method, making the drainage process simpler and more efficient.

[0098] One end of the transmission unit 320 is connected to the operating unit 310, and the other end is connected to multiple drain plugs 200. This feature ensures that the action of the operating unit 310 can be accurately transmitted to the drain plugs 200, achieving synchronous operation of multiple drain plugs 200, ensuring the consistency of multiple drain plugs 200, and avoiding accidental water accumulation or drainage caused by failing to open or close any drain plug 200. The transmission unit 320 not only transmits force but also achieves a labor-saving effect, further improving the portability and ease of use of the mop bucket 1000.

[0099] When the operating unit 310 is driven to move relative to the mop bucket 1000, it drives the transmission unit 320 to move as well. The movement of the transmission unit 320, in turn, drives multiple drain plugs 200 to move simultaneously. This chain reaction allows the drain outlets 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100 to open or close simultaneously. This combination of technical features not only simplifies the operation steps, allowing users to control the drainage of multiple liquid storage chambers 100 with a single operation, but also improves the consistency and synchronization of drainage, ensuring the drainage efficiency of the mop bucket 1000.

[0100] Through the coordinated operation of the operating unit 310, the transmission unit 320, and the drain plug 200, convenient and efficient control of the multiple drain outlets 110 of the mop bucket 1000 is achieved. With simple operation, the user can synchronize the action of multiple drain plugs 200, quickly draining wastewater from the bucket and rapidly closing the drain outlets 110. This solution not only improves the user experience but also enhances the practicality and convenience of the mop bucket 1000.

[0101] The operating unit 310 can be configured to move in various ways, such as rotating or sliding, to accommodate different user needs and habits. The transmission unit 320 can employ gears, chains, or other transmission mechanisms to ensure accurate transmission and stability of motion. Furthermore, the design of the drain plug 200 can consider factors such as sealing and durability to ensure its long-term reliability and effectiveness.

[0102] In some examples, the transmission unit 320 includes multiple transmission sub-units 321; the ends of the multiple transmission sub-units 321 near the operation unit 310 are all connected to the operation unit 310, and different transmission sub-units 321 are connected to drain plugs 200 that are configured to cooperate with drain ports 110 of different liquid storage chambers 100.

[0103] The operating unit 310 is driven to move relative to the mop bucket 1000, which in turn drives multiple transmission sub-units 321 to move simultaneously relative to the mop bucket 1000. The multiple transmission sub-units 321 move simultaneously to open or close multiple drain outlets 110 at the same time.

[0104] In the above structure, the transmission unit 320 consists of multiple transmission sub-units 321, each of which is connected to the operation unit 310 and cooperates with the drain plugs 200 on the drain ports 110 of different liquid storage chambers 100. This design enables the operation unit 310 to control the opening and closing states of multiple drain ports 110, improving operational flexibility and efficiency.

[0105] When the operating unit 310 is driven to move relative to the mop bucket 1000, the operating unit 310 can drive all the transmission sub-units 321 to move simultaneously relative to the mop bucket 1000. This synchronous movement ensures that multiple drain outlets 110 can be opened or closed at the same time, realizing the synchronous discharge or retention of liquid in different liquid storage chambers 100 of the mop bucket 1000, enhancing the coordination and practicality of the mop bucket 1000.

[0106] Through the coordinated operation of the operating unit 310, the transmission unit 320, and the drain plug 200, precise control of the liquid in the multiple liquid storage chambers 100 of the mop bucket 1000 is achieved. Users can easily manage the liquid discharge from different liquid storage chambers 100 by simply operating the operating unit 310, improving the convenience and efficiency of cleaning work.

[0107] The design of the transmission sub-unit 321 not only ensures a secure connection with the operating unit 310 but also guarantees a precise fit with the drain plug 200. Each transmission sub-unit 321 may have a specific shape and size to accommodate drain outlets 110 of different positions and sizes. Furthermore, the transmission sub-unit 321 may be made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials to improve its service life and reliability. The operating unit 310 may move in various ways, including rotation and sliding, depending on the design of the mop bucket 1000 and user requirements. This flexibility allows the solution to adapt to a variety of application scenarios and meet the needs of different users.

[0108] In some examples, the drain outlet 110 of each liquid storage chamber 100 is located at the bottom of the liquid storage chamber 100 near the center of the bottom of the mop bucket 1000.

[0109] Different transmission sub-units 321 are respectively arranged in different liquid storage chambers 100 along the depth direction of the mop bucket 1000.

[0110] The operating unit 310 is driven to move relative to the mop bucket 1000, causing multiple transmission sub-units 321 to move up and down simultaneously along the depth direction of the mop bucket 1000. The up and down movement of the multiple transmission sub-units 321 causes the drain plug 200 connected to them to move up and down, so as to open or close multiple drain outlets 110 simultaneously.

[0111] In the above structure, the drain outlet 110 of each liquid storage chamber 100 is located at the bottom of the liquid storage chamber 100 near the center of the bottom of the mop bucket 1000. This design makes the drainage smoother and more thorough, less likely to cause water accumulation or blockage, improves drainage efficiency, and can prevent residual sewage in the mop bucket 1000 from producing odors, ensuring that all sewage is drained and less likely to breed bacteria.

[0112] Different transmission sub-units 321 are respectively disposed in different liquid storage chambers 100, and the operating unit 310 can drive multiple transmission sub-units 321 to move up and down simultaneously along the depth direction of the mop bucket 1000. This combined design allows for the simultaneous control of the drain outlets 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100 by a single operating unit 310, improving the convenience and efficiency of operation. Moreover, since multiple transmission sub-units 321 can move up and down along the depth direction of the mop bucket 1000, the operating unit 310 does not need to be designed at the bottom of the mop bucket 1000, thus eliminating the need for the user to squat or bend deeply to operate the operating unit 310, reducing the difficulty of operation and making it more user-friendly.

[0113] The aforementioned structure enables simultaneous control of drainage from multiple liquid storage chambers 100 via a single operating unit 310, simplifying the operation process and reducing complexity, while also improving the practicality of the mop bucket 1000 and the user experience. Furthermore, this design is compact, easy to maintain, and easy to clean.

[0114] The connection between the drain plug 200 and the transmission sub-unit 321 can be at least one of threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection or other connection methods to ensure that the drain plug 200 can move up and down stably under the drive of the transmission sub-unit 321, thereby realizing the reliable opening and closing of the drain port 110.

[0115] Meanwhile, the structural design of the transmission sub-unit 321 may also take into account strength and wear resistance to ensure stability and reliability under long-term use. In addition, the design of the operating unit 310 may also focus on ergonomics, allowing users to operate it easily and comfortably.

[0116] In some examples, the mop bucket 1000 has a cylindrical partition with an open lower end extending from the center along the depth direction, and multiple liquid storage chambers 100 are arranged circumferentially along the partition. The drain outlet 110 of each liquid storage chamber 100 is located on the side wall of the partition and communicates with the external area of ​​the mop bucket 1000 through the opening of the partition.

[0117] The transmission part 320 passes through the hollow area of ​​the separator. The operating part 310 is driven to move relative to the mop bucket 1000, which drives the transmission part 320 to move up and down along the axial direction of the cylindrical separator. The up and down movement of the transmission part 320 drives the drain plug 200 to move up and down, so as to simultaneously open or close the drain outlets 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100.

[0118] The aforementioned separator positions the transmission unit 320 outside the storage chamber 100, completely isolating it from the sewage or clean water within the chamber. This prevents impurities from adhering to the drain plug 200, affecting its sealing performance and operational smoothness, and also prevents bacterial growth, odor, or premature aging of the transmission unit 320. The isolation design places the transmission unit 320 within the relatively clean and dry hollow area of ​​the separator. During drainage, the drain plug 200 does not come into contact with impurities in the sewage, reducing the amount of impurities adhering to it and ensuring its sealing performance and operational smoothness, thus extending its service life. The transmission unit 320 remains clean and dry, contributing to its extended service life. Furthermore, various designs are available to meet diverse user needs.

[0119] Multiple liquid storage chambers 100 are arranged circumferentially along the partition, and a transmission unit 320 is inserted through the hollow area of ​​the partition. The design of the operation unit 310 driving the transmission unit 320 to move up and down allows the user to open or close the drain outlets 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100 simultaneously through simple operation. This combined design not only improves drainage efficiency but also simplifies the operation process and enhances the user experience.

[0120] Through the coordinated operation of the separator, the liquid storage chamber 100, the transmission unit 320, and the operating unit 310, a compact and multifunctional mop bucket 1000 design is achieved. This design not only meets users' diverse design needs for mop buckets 1000 but also improves the convenience of cleaning and drainage efficiency. Simultaneously, the structure ensures the sealing effect of the drain plug 200 and the cleanliness and dryness of the transmission unit 320, effectively extending the service life of both the drain plug 200 and the transmission unit 320.

[0121] The aforementioned separator can be a cylindrical structure with its bottom connected to the liquid storage chamber 100. Part of the transmission unit 320 is housed within the separator. The cross-sectional shape of the separator can be set as needed, specifically as a circle, polygon, plum blossom shape, fan shape, ellipse, a combination of regular shapes, or an irregular shape, depending on the specific requirements. Polygons include triangles, quadrilaterals, and pentagons or larger shapes.

[0122] Reference Figure 2 In some examples, the operating unit 310 is movably located on the outer wall of the mop bucket 1000.

[0123] The operating part 310 moves relative to the outer wall of the mop bucket 1000, which in turn drives the transmission part 320 to move.

[0124] The aforementioned operating part 310 is movably disposed on the outer wall of the mop bucket 1000, allowing the user to conveniently operate the part from the outside without opening or disassembling other parts of the mop bucket 1000, thus improving ease of use.

[0125] The operating unit 310 moves relative to the outer wall of the mop bucket 1000 under drive, and drives the transmission unit 320 to move. This combination creates an effective linkage mechanism between the operating unit 310 and the transmission unit 320. The user can indirectly control the movement of the transmission unit 320 by operating the operating unit 310, realizing remote control of the internal structure of the mop bucket 1000, and enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of use.

[0126] The overall design, where the operating part 310 is movably mounted on the outer wall of the mop bucket 1000 and drives the transmission part 320, not only improves the ease of use and flexibility of the mop bucket 1000, but also helps optimize the user's operating experience and reduce labor intensity. At the same time, this design may also help reduce the risk of damage to the mop bucket 1000 and extend its service life.

[0127] The operating unit 310 may be designed with an ergonomic shape and size to ensure user comfort during extended use. Furthermore, the connection between the operating unit 310 and the transmission unit 320 may employ a reliable transmission mechanism to ensure accurate transmission and stability of movements. The transmission unit 320 itself may also be optimized to achieve precise control of the internal structure of the mop bucket 1000.

[0128] In some examples, the operating part 310 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall surface.

[0129] The operating part 310 is driven to rotate relative to the outer wall of the mop bucket 1000, which in turn drives the transmission part 320 to move.

[0130] The aforementioned operating part 310 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall surface, allowing the user to drive the movement of related components by rotating the operating part 310, providing convenience and flexibility in operation. Users can achieve certain functions of the mop bucket 1000, such as drainage and washing, simply by rotating the part without using additional tools or force, thus improving ease of use.

[0131] The operating unit 310 is driven to rotate relative to the outer wall of the mop bucket 1000, simultaneously driving the transmission unit 320 to move. This combination enables power transmission from the operating unit 310 to the transmission unit 320, allowing the user's rotational actions to be converted into corresponding movements of the transmission unit 320, thereby driving other components inside the mop bucket 1000. This design not only improves operational efficiency but also ensures the accuracy and reliability of power transmission.

[0132] The aforementioned structure enables the operation of the operating unit 310 to drive the transmission unit 320, thereby realizing multiple functions of the mop bucket 1000. This design simplifies the operation process and improves ease of use and efficiency. At the same time, the close cooperation between the operating unit 310 and the transmission unit 320 ensures the stability and durability of the mop bucket 1000, extending its service life.

[0133] The rotation mechanism of the aforementioned operating unit 310 is not limited to simple rotational movements; it can also be combined with different transmission mechanisms (such as gears, chains, etc.) to achieve more complex motion forms. Furthermore, the operating unit 310 can be equipped with a locking mechanism to easily lock the operating unit 310 when the user needs to fix the mop bucket 1000 in a certain state, preventing accidental rotation. These extended designs further enhance the functionality and practicality of the mop bucket 1000.

[0134] Reference Figures 4 to 7 In some examples, the drain outlets 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100 are arranged coaxially, or the drain outlets 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100 are axially parallel.

[0135] One of the operating part 310 and the transmission part 320 is provided with a slanted groove 330, and the other is provided with a slider 340. The slider 340 is inserted into the slanted groove 330 and slides in cooperation with the slanted groove 330.

[0136] The operating unit 310 is driven to rotate relative to the outer wall of the mop bucket 1000. The slider 340 slides along the inclined groove 330 and drives the transmission unit 320 to move axially along the drain outlets 110 of the multiple liquid storage chambers 100. The transmission unit 320 drives the multiple drain plugs 200 to move axially along the drain outlets 110 of the multiple liquid storage chambers 100 at the same time, so as to open or close the drain outlets 110 of the multiple liquid storage chambers 100 simultaneously.

[0137] The drain outlets 110 of the aforementioned liquid storage chamber 100 are coaxially or axially parallel, facilitating unified management and operation of the drain outlets 110 and improving the convenience and efficiency of drainage. The operating part 310 and the transmission part 320 cooperate through the inclined groove 330 and the slider 340 to realize the axial movement of the transmission part 320 when the operating part 310 rotates. This structural design is simple and the transmission is stable and reliable.

[0138] By setting the drain outlets 110 of the liquid storage chamber 100 on the same axis or parallel axis, and combining the sliding fit structure of the inclined groove 330 of the operating part 310 and the transmission part 320, the operating part 310 can synchronously drive multiple drain plugs 200 to move along the axial direction of the drain outlet 110 when it rotates, so as to realize the synchronous opening or closing of the drain outlets 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100, which improves the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0139] This application achieves synchronous control of the drain ports 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100 by rationally designing the layout of the drain ports 110 of the liquid storage chamber 100 and the cooperation structure between the operating unit 310 and the transmission unit 320. This simplifies the operation process and improves the automation level of drainage control. Furthermore, this solution is compact, easy to implement and maintain, and has high practicality and application value.

[0140] The aforementioned inclined groove 330 can be designed with its tilt angle and length adjustable according to actual needs to adapt to different transmission requirements and operating spaces. The slider 340 can slide stably within the inclined groove 330, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the transmission. Furthermore, the surfaces of the slider 340 and the inclined groove 330 can be treated with wear-resistant materials to improve service life and transmission efficiency. Simultaneously, to ensure that the drain plug 200 can accurately and reliably open or close the drain outlet 110, the structure and material of the drain plug 200 can be further designed to meet specific operating environments and requirements.

[0141] In some examples, both ends of the inclined groove 330 are provided with limiting grooves 331; when the slider 340 slides along the inclined groove 330 to the end of the inclined groove 330 and is limited to the limiting groove 331 at the end, the multiple drain plugs 200 remain in the current position, so that the multiple drain ports 110 remain in the open or closed state.

[0142] The aforementioned structure features limiting grooves 331 at both ends of the inclined groove 330, ensuring that the slider 340 can stably remain at the end of the inclined groove 330. This design prevents the slider 340 from moving easily due to accidents or external forces, thus ensuring that the drain plug 200 can be stably and reliably maintained in its current position, allowing the drain outlet 110 to remain in either the open or closed state.

[0143] When the slider 340 slides along the inclined groove 330 to the end of the inclined groove 330 and is confined in the limiting groove 331 at the end, the multiple drain plugs 200 can remain in their current positions. This means that by sliding and limiting the slider 340 in the inclined groove 330, unified control of the open or closed states of multiple drain ports 110 can be achieved. This combined technical feature not only improves the ease of operation but also enhances the overall coordination and stability of the system.

[0144] By combining inclined grooves, sliders, and limiting grooves, a simple yet effective drain outlet control mechanism is achieved. This combination allows users to easily open or close multiple drain outlets as needed, improving drainage efficiency. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for continuous manual operation of the control unit during drainage, further enhancing ease of use and improving the user experience.

[0145] The design of the inclined groove 330 not only considers the sliding path of the slider 340 but also fully takes into account the actual drainage requirements. For example, the inclination angle and length of the inclined groove 330 can be customized according to the position and number of drain outlets 110 to ensure that the slider 340 can smoothly slide to the required position. At the same time, the shape and size of the limiting groove 331 are also carefully designed to ensure that the slider 340 can stay stably within it and will not easily fall off or move due to external factors. This meticulous design makes the entire solution more practical and reliable.

[0146] Reference Figure 8 In some examples, the operating part 310 has a mounting arm 311 extending toward the transmission part 320 on the side near the transmission part 320, a slider 340 is disposed at the end of the mounting arm 311, and a slant groove 330 is disposed in the transmission part 320.

[0147] The aforementioned operating part 310 has a mounting arm 311 extending towards the transmission part 320 on the side near the transmission part 320. This arrangement allows the slider 340 to be stably mounted near the transmission part 320, ensuring operational accuracy and stability. The extended mounting arm 311 further strengthens the connection between the slider 340 and the transmission part 320, reducing the risk of displacement or damage due to improper operation or external forces.

[0148] The slider 340 is located at the end of the mounting arm 311, and the inclined groove 330 is located in the transmission part 320. This combination design achieves effective cooperation between the slider 340 and the transmission part 320. When the transmission part 320 moves, the inclined groove 330 can guide the slider 340 to move accordingly, thereby realizing a specific operating function. This design not only improves the flexibility of operation but also ensures the accuracy and reliability of operation.

[0149] The aforementioned structure enables efficient cooperation between the operating unit 310 and the transmission unit 320, which not only improves the overall performance of the equipment but also reduces manufacturing and maintenance costs. Furthermore, this solution offers good scalability and maintainability, facilitating subsequent upgrades and improvements.

[0150] The extended mounting arm 311 not only enhances the connection stability between the slider 340 and the transmission unit 320, but also provides greater flexibility for the installation and adjustment of the slider 340. For example, by positioning the slider 340 at different locations on the mounting arm 311, different operating functions or adjustments to the operating range can be achieved. Furthermore, the design of the inclined groove 330 has been carefully considered; its tilt angle and shape can affect the movement trajectory and operating effect of the slider 340. By adjusting the design parameters of the inclined groove 330, the operational performance and stability of the equipment can be further optimized.

[0151] In some examples, the sloping groove 330 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the transmission part 320.

[0152] By placing the inclined groove 330 on the outer peripheral surface of the transmission unit 320, it can effectively guide or transmit specific media or forces, such as lubricating oil, coolant, or power, making the transmission process smoother and more efficient. The inclination angle and direction of the inclined groove 330 are carefully designed to ensure that the media or force acts on the transmission unit 320 in the optimal way, reducing energy consumption, improving transmission efficiency, and achieving the effect of saving effort.

[0153] When the inclined groove 330 is combined with the outer peripheral surface of the transmission unit 320, not only is the effect of the aforementioned individual technical feature achieved, but the overall performance of the transmission unit 320 is further enhanced. The inclined groove 330 helps to enhance the heat dissipation performance of the transmission unit 320, preventing performance degradation or damage caused by overheating. At the same time, the inclined groove 330 also plays a role in vibration reduction and noise reduction, improving the smoothness of equipment operation and service life.

[0154] By placing the inclined groove 330 on the outer circumferential surface of the transmission unit 320, optimizations are achieved in transmission efficiency, heat dissipation performance, vibration reduction, and noise reduction. This design not only improves the overall performance of the equipment but also reduces energy consumption and maintenance costs, providing users with a more efficient and reliable user experience.

[0155] The design of the inclined grooves 330 is not limited to simple straight lines or arcs; they can also be designed in various shapes such as spirals and waves to meet specific needs. These different shapes of inclined grooves 330 can further optimize the transmission path of the medium or force, improving transmission efficiency. Furthermore, parameters such as the number, distribution density, and depth of the inclined grooves 330 can be adjusted according to specific application scenarios to meet the needs of different users. For example, in applications requiring higher heat dissipation performance, the number and depth of the inclined grooves 330 can be appropriately increased; while in applications with higher requirements for vibration reduction and noise reduction, the shape and distribution of the inclined grooves 330 can be optimized to achieve better vibration reduction and noise reduction effects.

[0156] In some examples, the drain ports 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100 are arranged coaxially, or the drain ports 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100 are axially parallel. Various designs can meet the diverse needs of users.

[0157] One of the operating part 310 and the transmission part 320 is provided with an inclined surface 350, and the other is provided with an abutment block 360.

[0158] The operating part 310 is driven to rotate relative to the outer wall of the mop bucket 1000, the abutment block 360 slides along the inclined surface 350, and drives the transmission part 320 to move axially along the drain outlet 110 of the multiple liquid storage chambers 100. The transmission part 320 drives the multiple drain plugs 200 to move axially along the drain outlet 110 of the multiple liquid storage chambers 100 at the same time, so as to open or close the drain outlet 110 of the multiple liquid storage chambers 100 at the same time.

[0159] In the above structure, the drain ports 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100 can be arranged coaxially or axially parallel, and various designs can meet diverse user needs. With the drain ports 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100 coaxially arranged, the transmission unit 320 moves the drain plug 200 corresponding to each drain port 110 along the coaxial axis, enabling simultaneous control of multiple drain ports 110 opening or closing sequentially. With the drain ports 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100 axially parallel, each drain plug 200 moves along the axial direction of its corresponding drain port 110, enabling simultaneous control of multiple drain ports 110 opening or closing simultaneously. Both methods ensure consistent drainage, improving operational flexibility and drainage efficiency.

[0160] By using the cooperation of the inclined surface 350 and the abutment block 360 between the operating part 310 and the transmission part 320, the conversion of rotational force into linear motion force is realized. This design simplifies the transmission structure and improves the efficiency and stability of the transmission.

[0161] The operating unit 310 can rotate relative to the outer wall of the mop bucket 1000. This design allows users to control the opening and closing of the drain plug 200 with a simple rotation action, making operation simple and quick.

[0162] When the operating part 310 rotates, the abutment block 360 slides along the inclined surface 350. This sliding causes the transmission part 320 to move axially along the drain ports 110 of the multiple liquid storage chambers 100. Since the drain ports 110 are coaxially arranged or axially parallel, the transmission part 320 can simultaneously drive multiple drain plugs 200 to move coaxially or simultaneously drive multiple drain plugs 200 to move along parallel axes, thereby realizing the simultaneous opening or closing of the drain ports 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100. This combined design not only improves the convenience of operation but also ensures the synchronicity and consistency of drainage from multiple liquid storage chambers 100.

[0163] The aforementioned structure realizes a highly efficient and stable drainage control mechanism for the mop bucket 1000. Users can simultaneously control the drain outlets 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100 through a simple rotation operation, greatly improving the efficiency and convenience of cleaning work. Furthermore, this solution also boasts advantages such as simple structure, ease of manufacture and maintenance, and broad application prospects.

[0164] The aforementioned structure, through the design of the fit between the inclined plane 350 and the abutment block 360, achieves the conversion of rotational force into linear motion force and also possesses an adaptive adjustment function. In practical applications, due to manufacturing errors, wear, and other factors, there may be a certain gap or deviation in the fit between the inclined plane 350 and the abutment block 360. However, due to the inclination angle of the inclined plane 350 and the shape design of the abutment block 360, this gap or deviation can be automatically compensated, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the transmission. Furthermore, the material selection for the inclined plane 350 and the abutment block 360 has also been carefully considered to ensure sufficient wear resistance and corrosion resistance, thereby extending the service life of the overall system.

[0165] In some examples, limit portions 370 are provided at both ends of the inclined surface 350; when the abutting block 360 slides along the inclined surface 350 to abut against the limit portion 370 of the inclined surface 350, the multiple drain plugs 200 remain in the current position, so that the multiple drain ports 110 remain in the open or closed state.

[0166] The aforementioned structure features limiting portions 370 at both ends of the inclined plane 350. This technical feature ensures that the abutting block 360 can precisely stop at the position abutting the limiting portion 370 when sliding along the inclined plane 350. In this way, the drain plug 200 can be stably maintained in its current position, reliably maintained whether it is open or closed.

[0167] The combined design of the inclined surface 350 and the limiting part 370, along with the mechanism of the abutting block 360 sliding along the inclined surface 350 to abut against the limiting part 370, together achieve precise control and stable maintenance of the position of the drain plug 200. This combination not only improves the reliability and stability of the drainage system but also simplifies the operation process, making the opening and closing of the drain outlet 110 more convenient.

[0168] The aforementioned structure enables multiple synchronized controls and stable holding of the drain plug 200, significantly improving the efficiency and reliability of the drainage system. This solution delivers excellent performance in applications requiring either rapid drainage or a sealed environment.

[0169] The limiting part 370 not only restricts the sliding range of the abutment block 360, but also provides additional stability and sealing through close contact with the abutment block 360. In practical applications, the limiting part 370 can be made of various shapes and materials to adapt to different working environments and requirements. For example, in applications requiring higher sealing performance, the limiting part 370 can be made of an elastic material to ensure a tight fit with the abutment block 360. Furthermore, the position and number of the limiting parts 370 can be flexibly adjusted according to the layout and number of the drain plugs 200 to achieve optimal control and stability.

[0170] Reference Figure 9 In some examples, the operating part 310 has a connecting arm 312 extending toward the transmission part 320 on the side near the transmission part 320, and an abutment block 360 is formed at the end of the connecting arm 312; the transmission part 320 has an inclined surface 350 along the circumference of the transmission part 320 at the end near the operating part 310.

[0171] In the above structure, the operating part 310 has a connecting arm 312 extending towards the transmission part 320 on the side near the transmission part 320. This design makes the connection between the operating part 310 and the transmission part 320 more stable, effectively transmitting operating force and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of transmission. The end of the connecting arm 312 forms an abutment block 360. As a key part that contacts the inclined surface 350 of the transmission part 320, the abutment block 360 is reasonably designed in shape and position to ensure that sufficient friction is generated with the inclined surface 350 during operation, achieving a stable transmission effect.

[0172] The transmission unit 320 has a circumferential inclined surface 350 at one end near the operating unit 310, which cooperates with the abutment block 360 on the operating unit 310. This combination of inclined surface 350 and abutment block 360 not only realizes the conversion of the rotational motion of the transmission unit 320 into the linear motion of the operating unit 310, but also adjusts the sensitivity and force of the transmission by the inclination angle of the inclined surface 350 and the shape of the abutment block 360. This design makes the operation smoother and the user experience better.

[0173] The combination of connecting arm 312, abutment block 360, and inclined surface 350 achieves stable and sensitive transmission between operating unit 310 and transmission unit 320. This design not only improves the performance and user experience of the mop bucket but also reduces noise and wear during transmission, extending the service life of the mop bucket.

[0174] The design of the aforementioned connecting arm 312 not only considers stability and transmission efficiency but also emphasizes lightweight construction. Made from high-strength, low-weight materials, it ensures a stable connection while reducing overall weight, making the mop bucket more flexible and convenient to operate. Furthermore, the shape and dimensions of the connecting arm 312 have been carefully calculated and optimized to ensure stable transmission performance under varying operating forces and angles.

[0175] The tilt angle and surface treatment of the 350° ramp have a significant impact on the transmission performance. Through precise calculations and a limited number of tests, an optimal tilt angle can be easily determined to achieve a smooth transition and precise control of the transmission force. The surface of the 350° ramp can be treated with wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials to improve its service life and transmission efficiency.

[0176] Reference Figure 10In some examples, the mop bucket 1000 also includes a reset member 500 disposed between the drive unit 300 and the mop bucket 1000, or disposed between at least one drain plug 200 and the mop bucket 1000.

[0177] When the drive unit 300 is driven to move relative to the mop bucket 1000 to drive multiple drain plugs 200 to move simultaneously and open or close the drain outlets 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100 at the same time, the reset member 500 stores force; the reset member 500 releases force to drive the drain plugs 200 to move and reset, and drives the drive unit 300 to reset.

[0178] The aforementioned reset element 500 is designed so that when the drive device 300 moves the drain plug 200, the reset element 500 can store force; after the drive device 300 completes its action, the reset element 500 releases force, causing the drain plug 200 and the drive device 300 to reset. This feature ensures that the drain plug 200 and the drive device 300 can accurately and quickly return to their initial positions, preparing for the next operation and simplifying the user's operation steps.

[0179] The combination of the reset element 500, drive unit 300, and drain plug 200 enables the automatic opening and closing of the drain outlet 110 of the mop bucket 1000. Driven by the drive unit 300, multiple drain plugs 200 can move simultaneously, opening or closing the drain outlets 110 of multiple liquid storage chambers 100. The force-accumulating and force-releasing process of the reset element 500 ensures the smooth completion of this action and subsequent reset actions. This combination feature improves the automation level of the mop bucket 1000 and simplifies the user's operation.

[0180] Through the coordinated operation of the reset component 500, the drive unit 300, and the drain plug 200, intelligent control of the drain outlet 110 of the mop bucket 1000 is achieved. Users can easily open and close multiple drain outlets 110 of the liquid storage chambers 100 simultaneously by simply operating the drive unit 300, greatly improving cleaning efficiency. At the same time, the reset component 500 ensures that the mop bucket 1000 returns to its initial state after each use, facilitating future use.

[0181] The specific form of the reset element 500 can vary, such as a spring or an elastic sheet. These reset elements 500 can store energy during the power-accumulating phase; when force needs to be released, this energy is released, pushing the drain plug 200 and the drive unit 300 to reset. Furthermore, the installation position of the reset element 500 can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different models of mop buckets 1000 and design requirements. For example, the reset element 500 can be positioned between the drive unit 300 and the mop bucket 1000, or between at least one drain plug 200 and the mop bucket 1000, to ensure optimal reset effect and stability.

[0182] The design of the reset element 500 can be flexibly selected, including various structural forms such as springs, rubber bands, and spring sheets. The specific selection and application of these reset elements 500 should be determined based on actual needs and design requirements. For example, springs, due to their good elasticity and stability, are often used in applications requiring continuous elastic force; rubber bands, due to their lightweight and low cost, are suitable for some simple reset requirements; and spring sheets, due to their compact structure and sensitive response, are often used in applications with limited space. The placement of the reset element 500 also has a certain degree of flexibility and can be adjusted according to the actual mechanical structure and operational requirements.

[0183] Regardless of the type and position of the aforementioned reset member 500, it can reliably reset at least one action of the operating drive device 300.

[0184] In some examples, the reset element 500 is set as a spring, with one end connected to the drive device 300 and the other end connected to the mop bucket 1000. As the drive device 300 drives the drain plug 200 to open or close the drain outlet 110, the spring gradually accumulates force; when the drive device 300 completes its action, the spring quickly releases the force, pushing the drive device 300 and the drain plug 200 back to their original positions. This spring-reset method is simple and reliable, effectively ensuring the reset accuracy and speed of the drain plug 200 and the drive device 300.

[0185] Furthermore, to ensure the stability of the drain plug 200 when the drain port 110 is opened or closed, a seal can be provided between the drain plug 200 and the drain port 110 of the liquid storage chamber 100. The seal can be made of elastic materials such as rubber or silicone to ensure a tight fit with the drain port 110, preventing leakage or seepage. Simultaneously, the shape and size of the seal need to be carefully designed and calculated to accommodate different models and specifications of drain ports 110, ensuring optimal sealing performance.

[0186] Through the coordinated operation and optimized design of the aforementioned components, the mop bucket 1000 of this application achieves efficient and stable drainage control. Users can easily open and close multiple liquid storage chambers 100 and drain outlets 110 simultaneously by simply operating the drive device 300, greatly improving the efficiency and convenience of cleaning work. Furthermore, the mop bucket 1000 also boasts advantages such as simple structure, ease of manufacture, and maintenance.

[0187] Furthermore, the transmission unit 320 of this application may also be equipped with a lubrication device or a self-lubricating material to reduce friction and wear during transmission and extend its service life. The lubrication device can automatically or manually add lubricant to maintain good lubrication of the transmission unit 320. The self-lubricating material can automatically release lubricant during transmission, reducing manual intervention and maintenance costs.
