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] In most mop bucket designs currently on the market, a drain is usually located at the bottom or on the side near the bottom. This drain is for the user to easily empty the water from the bucket when needed. To control drainage, a drain plug is usually installed at the drain; the drainage function is achieved by removing or removing this plug.
[0004] However, in these technologies, the drain plug is often positioned too low, requiring considerable effort to remove. Users often need to bend over or even squat to remove it smoothly. This posture is not only uncomfortable, but prolonged bending or squatting can also cause physical strain and discomfort. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model provides a mop bucket to solve the problem that the drain plug is often positioned too low in related technologies, which requires a lot of effort to remove. The mop bucket is easy to operate, and users can easily control the drain plug through the control panel. At the same time, the user can scrape and / or squeeze the mop while washing the mop, which improves the convenience of use and cleaning efficiency.
[0006] This utility model provides a mop bucket, including a bucket body, a cover, an operating part, and a transmission part.
[0007] The lower part of the bucket has a drain outlet; the cover is placed over the open part of the bucket and has a cleaning port. The cleaning port is equipped with a scraping component, which is used to scrape and / or squeeze the wiping material of the mop board that is inserted into and moves in the cleaning port.
[0008] The operating part is movably mounted on the cover; one end of the transmission part is connected to the operating part, and the other end is connected to the drain plug, which is configured to cooperate with the drain outlet.
[0009] The operating part moves relative to the cover, which in turn moves the transmission part. The movement of the transmission part causes the drain plug to move relative to the drain outlet, thereby opening or closing the drain outlet.
[0010] In the above structure, the drain outlet at the bottom of the bucket facilitates the drainage of water from the bucket. The cleaning port and scraping device on the lid are designed to effectively scrape and / or squeeze the material being wiped with the mop board, removing excess water and dirt from the material.
[0011] The control unit is located on the cover, allowing users to easily control the opening and closing of the drain plug.
[0012] The transmission unit enables a transmission connection between the operating unit and the drain plug, allowing the user to indirectly control the movement of the drain plug through the operating unit.
[0013] The way the operating part, transmission part, and drain plug work together allows the user to easily open or close the drain outlet by simply moving the operating part and then moving the drain plug relative to the drain outlet through the transmission part, without having to manually insert or remove the drain plug, thus improving ease of use.
[0014] The way the cleaning port and scraper on the lid work with the bucket body allows users to scrape and / or squeeze the mop while cleaning, removing excess water and dirt, thus improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.
[0015] The mop bucket is easy to operate. Users can conveniently control the drain plug via the control panel, and can also scrape and / or squeeze the mop while washing, improving ease of use and cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the mop bucket has a compact structure, takes up little space, and is easy to store and carry.
[0016] In some examples, the operating part is rotatably mounted on the cover.
[0017] The operating part is driven to rotate relative to the cover, which in turn drives the transmission part to move. The movement of the transmission part drives the drain plug to move relative to the drain outlet, thereby opening or closing the drain outlet.
[0018] The operating part is rotatably mounted on the cover, allowing it to rotate relative to the cover. This design provides users with an intuitive and easy-to-operate structure; users can control the drain plug simply by rotating the operating part, thereby opening or closing the drain outlet, making operation simple and quick.
[0019] The operating part rotates relative to the cover, which in turn drives the transmission part (including rotation, oscillation, and linear movement). As a key component connecting the operating part and the drain plug, the transmission part precisely transmits the rotational force of the operating part to the drain plug, achieving effective linkage between the operating part and the drain plug. This combination of technical features ensures that users can achieve precise control of the drain outlet through simple rotational movements.
[0020] By rotating the operating unit, moving the transmission unit, and correspondingly moving the drain plug, a simple, efficient, and reliable drain outlet control mechanism is achieved. Users can easily open or close the drain outlet without complicated operations or tools, meeting the needs of various usage scenarios. Furthermore, the above solution has a compact structure, is easy to install and maintain, and enhances the product's practicality and market competitiveness.
[0021] In some examples, the operating part is connected to the transmission part, and the operating part is driven to rotate relative to the cover, which drives the transmission part to move along the axis of the drain outlet toward or away from the drain outlet, so as to open or close the drain outlet.
[0022] The connection between the operating unit and the transmission unit allows the user to easily control the movement of the transmission unit via the operating unit. The rotation of the operating unit is directly converted into axial movement of the transmission unit in the drain outlet. This conversion mechanism is simple and efficient, allowing users to quickly open or close the drain outlet.
[0023] When the operating unit rotates relative to the cover, it not only acts as a driving source but also achieves precise control of the drain outlet's status through the transmission unit. The rotation of the operating unit and the movement of the transmission unit form a linkage mechanism, ensuring that the drain outlet can be quickly opened or closed when needed, improving the equipment's operating efficiency and response speed.
[0024] In some examples, the drain outlet is located at the bottom of the barrel, the transmission part is inserted into the barrel along the depth direction, the upper end is connected to the operating part for transmission, and the lower end is connected to the drain plug.
[0025] The operating part is driven to rotate relative to the cover, which in turn drives the transmission part to move up and down along the depth direction of the barrel to open or close the drain outlet.
[0026] The drain outlet is located at the bottom of the tank, a design that allows wastewater or excess liquid to drain smoothly, preventing accumulation inside the tank and maintaining its cleanliness and hygiene. At the same time, the bottom location of the drain outlet also facilitates complete emptying of wastewater, improving drainage efficiency.
[0027] The transmission unit extends through the depth of the barrel, connecting to the operating unit at its upper end and to the drain plug at its lower end. This design enables remote transmission between the operating unit and the drain plug, allowing users to control the opening and closing of the drain plug simply by operating the operating unit, making operation convenient and effortless.
[0028] In some examples, one of the operating part and the transmission part is provided with a slant, and the other is provided with a slider, which is inserted into the slant and slides into the slant.
[0029] The operating part is driven to rotate relative to the cover, the slider slides along the inclined groove, and drives the transmission part to move up and down along the depth direction of the barrel to open or close the drain outlet.
[0030] One of the operating unit and the transmission unit is equipped with an inclined groove, and the other with a slider. The slider is inserted into the inclined groove and slides in engagement with it. This design allows the operating unit to drive the slider to slide along the inclined groove when it is driven to rotate relative to the cover, thereby enabling the transmission unit to move up and down in the depth direction of the barrel. This sliding engagement method is simple in structure and easy to implement, ensuring operational stability and reliability.
[0031] When the three technical features of rotating operating unit, sliding slider along inclined groove, and up-and-down movement of transmission unit are combined, a complete and efficient drain outlet control mechanism is formed. Users can open or close the drain outlet simply by rotating the operating unit, making operation convenient and effortless. At the same time, this mechanism also improves product efficiency and user experience.
[0032] The effective control of the drain outlet is achieved through the cooperation of the operating unit, transmission unit, inclined groove, and slider. This solution is not only simple and labor-saving to operate, but also compact and easy to implement, reducing product production and maintenance costs. Furthermore, the solution exhibits high stability and reliability, ensuring the long-term performance of the product.
[0033] 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, the drain plug remains in the current position, so that the drain outlet is kept in the open or closed state.
[0034] The design of setting limiting grooves at both ends of the inclined groove ensures that the slider is stably limited within the limiting groove when it slides to the end of the inclined groove, thereby preventing the slider from moving accidentally due to external factors (such as vibration) and ensuring that the drain plug can be stably kept in the current position.
[0035] The combination of the inclined groove and the limiting groove not only enables the slider to slide smoothly in the inclined groove, but also allows the slider to be precisely positioned through the limiting groove, so that the drain plug can accurately control the opening or closing state of the drain outlet, thereby improving the functionality and reliability of the device.
[0036] The overall solution achieves flexible control over the drain outlet status through the coordinated action of the inclined groove, slider, and limiting groove. This solution is simple in structure, easy to operate, and effectively meets various drainage needs, improving the practicality of the equipment and the user experience.
[0037] 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.
[0038] The operating section has a mounting arm extending towards the transmission section on the side closest to the transmission section. This design allows the slider to be securely mounted near the transmission section, increasing structural stability and reliability. The slider is positioned at the end of the mounting arm, ensuring accurate operation of the transmission section during movement and improving operational precision. A slanted groove is provided in the transmission section, facilitating the slider's sliding within the groove to achieve the transmission function.
[0039] The combination of the mounting arm, slider, and sloping groove allows the operating unit to precisely control the movement of the transmission unit. The extended mounting arm and the slider's installation position ensure operational accuracy, while the sloping groove design allows the slider to slide smoothly on the transmission unit, achieving a stable transmission effect. This combination not only improves operational precision but also enhances structural stability and durability.
[0040] By combining the mounting arm, slider, and swashplate, precise control of the transmission unit is achieved. This design not only improves the ease and accuracy of operation but also makes the entire transmission system more stable and reliable. Furthermore, the above solution offers advantages such as simple structure, ease of manufacture and maintenance, reducing production and repair costs.
[0041] In some examples, the slant groove is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the transmission part.
[0042] The inclined groove is located on the outer circumferential surface of the transmission unit. This layout optimizes the contact area and sliding path between the slider and the inclined groove, further improving the smoothness of sliding and the stability of transmission. The outer circumferential surface of the transmission unit provides sufficient space for the inclined groove arrangement, ensuring that the slider is not excessively obstructed or interfered with during sliding. At the same time, this design also facilitates heat dissipation and extends the service life of the transmission components.
[0043] In some examples, one of the operating part and the transmission part is provided with a ramp, and the other is provided with an abutment block.
[0044] The operating part is driven to rotate relative to the cover, the abutment block slides along the inclined surface, and drives the transmission part to move up and down along the depth direction of the barrel to open or close the drain outlet.
[0045] The inclined surface on the operating part cooperates with the abutment block on the transmission part, enabling the abutment block to slide along the inclined surface when the operating part rotates. This design allows the rotational motion of the operating part to be converted into linear movement of the transmission part in the depth direction of the barrel, providing a power source for opening or closing the drain outlet.
[0046] When the operating part rotates relative to the cover, the combined action of the inclined surface and the abutment block allows the transmission part to move up and down along the depth direction of the barrel. This design not only simplifies the opening and closing mechanism of the drain outlet but also improves the convenience and efficiency of operation. Users can easily open or close the drain outlet with a simple rotation.
[0047] By cleverly combining the inclined plane and the abutment block, the conversion from rotation of the operating part to linear movement of the transmission part is achieved, thereby realizing the opening and closing function of the drain outlet. The above solution is compact in structure and easy to operate, greatly improving the user experience. At the same time, the solution also possesses a certain degree of stability and durability, enabling it to maintain good working condition over a long period.
[0048] 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, the drain plug remains in its current position, so that the drain outlet remains in the open or closed state.
[0049] The technical feature of setting limiting parts at both ends of the inclined plane ensures that the abutment block can stay stably when it slides to both ends of the inclined plane, preventing accidental movement caused by external forces or vibrations. When the abutment block abuts against the limiting parts of the inclined plane, the position of the drain plug is fixed, thereby achieving stable maintenance of the drain outlet state.
[0050] The combination of the inclined surface and the limiting part not only enables the sliding control of the abutment block on the inclined surface, but also ensures the stability of the drain plug in a specific position through the blocking effect of the limiting part. This design simplifies the operation process and improves the reliability and durability of the drainage system.
[0051] The coordinated operation of the inclined plane, limiting part, and abutment block enables convenient opening and closing of the drain outlet and stable maintenance. Users can control the opening and closing of the drain outlet with a simple sliding operation, and the operation is stable and reliable. Furthermore, the above solution has advantages such as simple structure, ease of implementation and maintenance, and is suitable for various occasions requiring drainage control.
[0052] 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.
[0053] The operating unit has a connecting arm extending towards the transmission unit on the side closest to the transmission unit. This design makes the connection between the operating unit and the transmission unit more stable, effectively transmitting operating force and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the transmission. An abutment block is formed at the end of the connecting arm. The presence of the abutment block increases the contact area between the operating unit and the transmission unit, further enhancing the stability of the connection and facilitating precise transmission control.
[0054] When the connecting arm of the operating unit is combined with the inclined surface of the transmission unit, this design not only achieves an effective connection between the operating unit and the transmission unit, but also makes the transmission process smoother through the setting of the inclined surface. The inclined surface can guide the abutment block of the connecting arm to gradually change direction during the transmission process, thereby achieving a smooth transmission transition, reducing impact and noise during the transmission process, and improving the service life of the equipment.
[0055] The connection between the connecting arm and the inclined plane achieves an efficient and stable connection between the operating unit and the transmission unit. This design not only improves the accuracy and reliability of the transmission but also optimizes the transmission process, reduces energy consumption and wear, and extends the service life of the equipment. Furthermore, this design offers advantages such as simple structure, ease of manufacturing and maintenance, and reduced production and operating costs.
[0056] In some examples, the operating part includes an operating element protruding from the top of the cover and a driving element that is drivenly connected to the operating element, the driving element being drivenly connected to the other end of the transmission part.
[0057] The operating component moves relative to the cover, which in turn drives the driving component to move relative to the cover, and the movement of the driving component drives the transmission component to move.
[0058] The design of the operating unit includes an operating component protruding from the top of the cover and a drive component that is connected to the operating component, allowing users to easily control the drive component via the operating component. The protruding design of the operating component improves the ease of operation, enabling users to intuitively locate and operate the control position.
[0059] The transmission connection between the operating component and the driving component, as well as the transmission connection between the driving component and the other end of the transmission unit, enables the linkage between the operating component, the driving component, and the transmission unit. When the user operates the operating component, the driving component moves accordingly, further driving the transmission unit to move, thereby realizing the functional operation of the entire device. This transmission connection method improves the motion efficiency and stability of the device.
[0060] The coordinated design of the operating unit, drive unit, and transmission unit enables convenient control of the cover and related components. Users can drive the entire device to perform the desired actions simply by operating the operating unit, improving the device's ease of use and practicality. Furthermore, the compact structure of this design helps reduce manufacturing costs and enhances the product's market competitiveness.
[0061] In some examples, the cover has a through hole, and the main body parts of the operating member and the driving member are respectively located on both sides of the through hole; the end of the operating member closer to the driving member passes through the through hole and is locked with the driving member, or the end of the driving member closer to the operating member passes through the through hole and is locked with the operating member.
[0062] The through-holes in the cover allow the operating and driving components to be connected or locked together, providing a physical channel for their assembly and operation, and enhancing the flexibility and operability of the structure.
[0063] The main bodies of the operating component and the driving component are respectively located on both sides of the through hole, with one end passing through the through hole to achieve a limiting and locking engagement. This combination feature ensures a stable connection between the operating component and the driving component, avoiding the risk of loosening or falling off. At the same time, the limiting and locking engagement method improves the accuracy and stability of the connection, ensuring the reliability and durability of the overall structure.
[0064] By incorporating through-holes and locking mechanisms between the operating and driving components, an effective connection and coordination between them is achieved, enhancing the overall structural stability and reliability. This design not only simplifies the assembly process and reduces production costs but also improves the product's user experience and lifespan.
[0065] In some examples, the end of the operating member near the driving member is provided with a snap-fit arm, and the end of the driving member near the operating member is provided with a snap-fit groove. The snap-fit arm passes through the through hole and engages with the snap-fit groove for limiting.
[0066] The locking arm on the operating component engages with the locking slot on the driving component. By passing the locking arm through the through hole and locking it into the slot, a secure connection between the operating component and the driving component is achieved. This locking method not only simplifies installation but also effectively prevents relative displacement or detachment of the operating component and the driving component during use, ensuring the stability and reliability of the equipment.
[0067] Once the operating component engages with the driving component via the locking arm and locking slot, they form a unified structure. This structure not only enhances the overall strength of the equipment but also allows the operating component to transmit driving force to the driving component more precisely, thereby improving the equipment's transmission efficiency and response speed. Furthermore, the engagement of the locking arm and locking slot also provides a degree of self-locking, further enhancing the equipment's safety performance.
[0068] In some examples, the operating element and the cover are rotatably configured. The operating element is driven to rotate relative to the cover, which in turn drives the driving element to rotate in the same direction. The rotation of the driving element drives the transmission part to move.
[0069] The rotating arrangement of the operating component relative to the cover allows the operating component to rotate, providing a foundation for subsequent transmission. By rotating the operating component, users can easily apply driving force to achieve the device's functional operation.
[0070] The operating component rotates relative to the cover, causing the driving component to rotate in the same direction. This combined technical feature enables force transmission from the operating component to the driving component. When the operating component rotates, it can effectively drive the driving component to rotate in the same direction. This synchronous rotation ensures the accuracy and reliability of the transmission, providing a stable power source for the subsequent movement of the transmission unit.
[0071] The rotation of the operating component drives the drive component to rotate, which in turn moves the transmission unit, thus achieving efficient force transmission and conversion. This design not only simplifies the equipment's structure and reduces manufacturing costs, but also improves its ease of operation and efficiency. Users can achieve the equipment's intended functions simply by rotating the operating component.
[0072] In some examples, the drain outlet is located at the bottom of the barrel, and the other end of the transmission part is fixedly connected to the drain plug.
[0073] The operating part moves relative to the cover, causing the transmission part to move up and down along the depth direction of the barrel. When the transmission part moves upward, it causes the drain plug to move in the same direction to open the drain outlet; when the transmission part moves downward, it causes the drain plug to move in the same direction to close the drain outlet.
[0074] The drain outlet is located at the bottom of the bucket, a design that ensures more thorough drainage, allowing water to drain smoothly and preventing residue issues. The other end of the transmission unit is fixedly connected to the drain plug, ensuring that the transmission unit's movements are accurately transmitted to the drain plug, thus achieving effective control of the drain outlet.
[0075] The operating unit moves relative to the cover, a design that allows the user to control the movement of the transmission unit by operating the operating unit. The transmission unit moves up and down along the depth of the bucket, causing the drain plug to move synchronously, thus opening and closing the drain outlet. This combination not only simplifies the operation process but also improves the accuracy and stability of drainage control.
[0076] The coordinated design of the operating unit, transmission unit, and drain plug enables effective control of the drain outlet at the bottom of the tank. Users can easily complete the drainage process by simply operating the operating unit, greatly improving convenience and efficiency. Furthermore, the above solution is compact, easy to install and maintain, and reduces operating costs.
[0077] In some examples, the transmission unit includes a mating member and a connecting rod, one end of which is connected to the mating member and the other end is fixedly connected to the drain plug, and the mating member is drivenly connected to the operating unit.
[0078] The operating part moves relative to the cover, causing the mating parts to move up and down along the depth direction of the barrel. The mating parts drive the connecting rod to move in the same direction, and the connecting rod drives the drain plug to move up and down.
[0079] The transmission unit includes a mating component and a connecting rod. This design allows the operating unit to effectively convert its movement into the up-and-down movement of the drain plug through the transmission connection between the mating component and the connecting rod. The connection method between the mating component and the connecting rod ensures the stability and reliability of the transmission, enabling the drain plug to accurately respond to the actions of the operating unit.
[0080] One end of the connecting rod is connected to the mating component, and the other end is fixedly connected to the drain plug. This design realizes a direct drive chain from the operating part to the drain plug. When the operating part is driven to move relative to the cover, it can drive the mating component to move up and down along the depth direction of the barrel, which in turn drives the drain plug to move in the same direction through the connecting rod. This combination simplifies the transmission structure, improves transmission efficiency, and makes the drainage operation smoother and more efficient.
[0081] By coordinating the transmission unit, operating unit, and drain plug, intelligent control of the washing machine's drain outlet is achieved. Users can easily open and close the drain plug simply by operating the operating unit, thus controlling the washing machine's drainage process. This design not only enhances the washing machine's intelligence but also improves the user experience.
[0082] In some examples, the mop bucket also includes a reset element disposed between the operating part and the cover, or between the operating part and the transmission part, or between the transmission part and the bucket body, or between the drain plug and the bucket body.
[0083] When the operating part is driven to move relative to the cover, it drives the transmission part to move, which in turn drives the drain plug to move to open or close the drain outlet, the reset part stores force; when the reset part releases force, it drives the drain plug to move and reset, and drives the operating part and the transmission part to reset.
[0084] The reset mechanism is designed to automatically reset the drain plug, operating unit, and transmission unit when the operating part is driven to move relative to the cover, accumulating force and releasing it after operation. This feature improves the ease of use of the mop bucket, eliminating the need for manual reset of individual components and saving time and effort.
[0085] The combination of the operating unit, transmission unit, drain plug, and reset component forms an automatic reset system. When the user operates the operating unit, the transmission unit moves accordingly, thereby opening or closing the drain outlet with the drain plug, while the reset component stores force during this process. After the operation is completed, the reset component releases the force, automatically resetting the drain plug, operating unit, and transmission unit. This achieves automatic opening and closing of the mop bucket drain outlet and automatic reset of components, improving the automation level and efficiency of use.
[0086] By using the reset component in conjunction with the operating unit, transmission unit, drain plug, and other parts, the automatic opening and closing of the mop bucket drain outlet and the automatic reset of the components are achieved, improving ease of use, automation, and efficiency. At the same time, the reset component also increases the durability and stability of the mop bucket, extending its service life.
[0087] In some examples, the reset element is a spring disposed between the operating part and the cover, or between the operating part and the transmission part, or between the transmission part and the barrel, or between the drain plug and the barrel.
[0088] When the operating part is driven to move relative to the cover, it drives the transmission part to move, which in turn drives the drain plug to move away from the drain outlet to open the drain outlet. At this time, the reset part stores force. When the reset part releases force, it drives the drain plug to move closer to the drain outlet to close the drain outlet, and drives the operating part and the transmission part to reset.
[0089] The reset element, as a key component, is positioned in various locations between the operating part, the cover, the transmission part, and the tank and drain plug, allowing for flexible installation options. This design enables the reset element to effectively store and release energy, providing power for the opening and closing of the drain plug.
[0090] The coordinated arrangement of the operating unit, transmission unit, drain plug, and reset component constitutes a highly efficient drainage control mechanism. When the operating unit is driven by an external force, it can drive the transmission unit, which in turn drives the drain plug to move, opening or closing the drain outlet. During this process, the reset component is responsible for accumulating energy (when the drain plug is open) and releasing energy (when the drain plug is closed), ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the entire process.
[0091] In some examples, the reset element is an elastic rope disposed between the transmission part and the barrel.
[0092] When the operating part is driven to move relative to the cover, it drives the transmission part to move, which in turn drives the drain plug to move closer to the drain outlet to close the drain outlet. At this time, the reset part stores force. When the reset part releases force, it drives the drain plug to move away from the drain outlet to open the drain outlet, and drives the operating part and the transmission part to reset.
[0093] The reset element is designed as an elastic cord, a feature that allows it to provide a stable elastic force between the transmission unit and the barrel. When the operating unit is driven to move relative to the cover, the elastic cord stores force, providing power for the subsequent opening of the drain plug. This design not only simplifies the structure but also improves the reliability and efficiency of the reset action.
[0094] The combined use of the operating unit, transmission unit, drain plug, and reset element (elastic rope) enables the automatic opening and closing of the drain outlet. The movement of the operating unit is transmitted to the drain plug via the transmission unit, controlling the closure of the drain outlet; while the unloading force of the reset element (elastic rope) causes the drain plug to open the drain outlet, simultaneously resetting the operating unit and transmission unit. This combined technical feature ensures that the drain outlet can respond quickly and accurately to operating commands, improving the automation level of the equipment.
[0095] The above-described configuration enables automatic opening, closing, and resetting of the drain outlet. This not only improves the ease of operation but also reduces the difficulty and cost of manual operation. Furthermore, the solution is simple in structure and easy to maintain, making it suitable for various scenarios requiring automatic drainage.
[0096] In some examples, the barrel is divided into multiple chambers by partitions, each chamber has a drain outlet at the bottom, and each drain outlet has a drain plug that is matched with it.
[0097] The transmission part is connected to multiple drain plugs; the operating part moves relative to the cover, which drives the transmission part to move, and the movement of the transmission part drives the multiple drain plugs to move, so as to open or close multiple drain outlets simultaneously.
[0098] The barrel is divided into multiple chambers by partitions. Each chamber has a drain outlet and a drain plug at the bottom. This design allows each chamber to drain independently, improving the flexibility and efficiency of drainage.
[0099] The transmission unit is connected to multiple drain plugs. The operating unit moves relative to the cover, which in turn moves the transmission unit, causing the multiple drain plugs to move simultaneously. This mechanism allows for the simultaneous control of multiple drain plugs opening or closing with a single operating unit, simplifying the operation and improving the convenience of drainage.
[0100] The overall solution cleverly divides the tank into multiple independent chambers and achieves unified control of the drain outlets in these chambers through the coordination of the transmission and operating mechanisms. This not only improves the flexibility and efficiency of drainage but also greatly simplifies the operation, making the entire drainage process more convenient and efficient.
[0101] In some examples, the drain outlet for each chamber is located at the bottom of the chamber near the center of the barrel.
[0102] The transmission unit includes multiple transmission sub-units, which are respectively arranged in different chambers along the depth direction of the barrel; the upper ends of the multiple transmission sub-units are connected to the operating unit, and the lower ends are connected to the drain plugs that are matched with the drain outlets of the corresponding chambers.
[0103] The operating unit moves relative to the cover, causing multiple transmission sub-units to move up and down simultaneously along the depth direction of the barrel. 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 ports simultaneously.
[0104] Positioning the drain outlet of each chamber at the bottom of the chamber, near the center of the tank, facilitates concentrated and smooth water flow during drainage, improving drainage efficiency. This design also ensures a relatively fixed drain outlet position, enabling precise engagement between the subsequent transmission mechanism and the drain plug.
[0105] The transmission unit comprises multiple transmission sub-units, each housed within a different chamber. The upper ends of these sub-units are connected to the operating unit, while the lower ends connect to the drain plugs of their respective chambers. This design enables simultaneous control of multiple chamber drain outlets via a single operating unit. When the operating unit is activated, it moves multiple transmission sub-units up and down simultaneously along the depth of the barrel, thereby opening or closing multiple drain plugs at the same time, improving operational convenience and efficiency.
[0106] By designing the drain outlet positions, incorporating multiple transmission sub-units in the drive unit, and implementing unified control in the operating unit, synchronous control of the drain outlets in multiple chambers is achieved. This design not only improves the convenience and efficiency of drainage operations but also helps maintain water level balance in each chamber within the tank, enhancing the overall user experience.
[0107] In some examples, a cylindrical partition with an open lower end is provided in the center of the barrel, and the drain outlet of each chamber is provided on the side wall of the corresponding partition. The chambers are connected to the external area of the barrel through the drain outlet and the opening of the partition.
[0108] The transmission part is inserted into the hollow area of the partition. The operating part is driven to move relative to the cover, which drives the transmission part to move up and down along the axial direction of the cylindrical partition. The up and down movement of the transmission part drives the drain plug to move up and down, so as to open or close multiple drain ports at the same time.
[0109] The partitions are cylindrical with open bottoms, a design that allows the drain outlet for each chamber to be located on the side wall of the corresponding partition. This layout not only optimizes space utilization but also ensures smooth communication between the chambers and the external area of the tank through the drain outlets and the open partitions, providing a basis for subsequent drainage operations.
[0110] The transmission unit is inserted into the hollow area of the separator and connected to the operating unit. This allows the operating unit to move relative to the cover when driven, thereby driving the transmission unit to move up and down along the axis of the separator. This mechanism achieves effective linkage between the transmission unit and the operating unit, as well as stable movement of the transmission unit within the separator. More importantly, the up-and-down movement of the transmission unit drives the drain plug to move up and down synchronously, enabling the simultaneous opening or closing of multiple drain outlets, significantly improving the efficiency and convenience of drainage operations. Furthermore, the transmission unit's placement within the separator completely isolates it from the sewage or clean water in the storage chamber. This prevents impurities in the sewage from adhering to the drain plug, affecting its sealing effect and operational smoothness, and also prevents impurities from adhering to the transmission unit, fostering bacterial growth or emitting odors, and even causing the transmission unit to age prematurely. The isolation design places the transmission unit in the relatively clean and dry hollow area of the separator, ensuring the drain plug does not come into contact with impurities in the sewage during drainage. This reduces the amount of impurities adhering to the drain plug, ensuring its sealing effect and operational smoothness, and extending its service life. The transmission unit will not come into contact with sewage, ensuring it remains clean and dry, which helps extend its service life. Furthermore, various designs are available to meet diverse user needs.
[0111] The aforementioned structure achieves a highly efficient and convenient drainage system. The partition optimizes the spatial layout, and the linkage between the transmission and operating parts ensures the synchronous movement of the drain plug, thereby enabling synchronized control of multiple drain outlets. This solution not only improves drainage efficiency but also simplifies the operation process, providing users with a better experience. Furthermore, the structure ensures the sealing effect of the drain plug and the cleanliness and dryness of the transmission part, effectively extending the service life of both the drain plug and the transmission part.

Detailed Implementation
[0115] 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.
[0116] The following is combined Figures 1-15 The present invention describes a mop bucket 1000 for use with a mop structure 2000. The mop bucket 1000 includes a bucket body 100, a cover body 200, an operating part 300, and a transmission part 400.
[0117] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The lower part of the bucket body 100 is provided with a drain outlet 110; the cover body 200 is provided at the opening 120 of the bucket body 100, and the cover body 200 is provided with a cleaning port 210. The cleaning port 210 is provided with a scraping member 220, which is used to scrape and / or squeeze the wiping material of the mop board that is inserted into the cleaning port 210 and moves in the cleaning port 210.
[0118] The operating part 300 is movably mounted on the cover 200; one end of the transmission part 400 is connected to the operating part 300, and the other end is connected to the drain plug 500, which is configured to cooperate with the drain outlet 110.
[0119] The operating part 300 is driven to move relative to the cover 200, which in turn drives the transmission part 400 to move. The movement of the transmission part 400 drives the drain plug 500 to move relative to the drain outlet 110, thereby opening or closing the drain outlet 110.
[0120] In the above structure, the drain outlet 110 at the bottom of the bucket 100 facilitates the drainage of water from the bucket 100. The cleaning port 210 and the scraping component 220 on the cover 200 are designed to effectively scrape and / or squeeze the mop board to remove excess water and dirt from the mop.
[0121] The operating unit 300 is movably mounted on the cover 200, allowing the user to conveniently control the opening and closing of the drain plug 500.
[0122] The transmission unit 400 enables the transmission connection between the operation unit 300 and the drain plug 500, allowing the user to indirectly control the movement of the drain plug 500 through the operation unit 300.
[0123] The combination of the operating unit 300, the transmission unit 400, and the drain plug 500 allows the user to easily open or close the drain outlet 110 by moving the drain plug 500 relative to the drain outlet 110 through the transmission unit 400 with the simple movement of the operating unit 300, without having to manually insert or remove the drain plug 500, thus improving ease of use.
[0124] The way the cleaning port 210 and scraping component 220 on the cover 200 are combined with the bucket body 100 allows users to scrape and / or squeeze the mop while cleaning, removing excess water and dirt, thus improving cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect.
[0125] The mop bucket 1000 is easy to operate. Users can conveniently control the drain plug 500 via the control unit 300, and can also scrape and / or squeeze the mop while washing, improving ease of use and cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the mop bucket 1000 has a compact structure, occupies little space, and is easy to store and carry.
[0126] The cleaning port 210 on the cover 200 is designed with a reasonable size and shape to accommodate mop boards of different sizes and shapes for cleaning. At the same time, the edges of the cleaning port 210 are smoothed to avoid scratching the cleaning object or the user's hands.
[0127] The scraper part 220 is made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, and has a long service life. Its surface is designed with reasonable textures or protrusions to enhance the scraping and / or squeezing effect.
[0128] The operating unit 300 is designed according to ergonomic principles, allowing users to control the drain plug 500 with simple pressing, rotating, or pushing / pulling actions, making operation effortless and less tiring. At the same time, the surface of the operating unit 300 is treated with a non-slip coating to improve stability during operation.
[0129] Reference Figures 1 to 4In some examples, the operating part 300 is rotatably mounted on the cover 200.
[0130] The operating part 300 is driven to rotate relative to the cover 200, which drives the transmission part 400 to move. The movement of the transmission part 400 drives the drain plug 500 to move relative to the drain outlet 110, so as to open or close the drain outlet 110.
[0131] The operating part 300 is rotatably mounted on the cover 200, allowing the operating part 300 to rotate relative to the cover 200. This design provides users with an intuitive and easy-to-operate structure. Users can control the drain plug 500 by simply rotating the operating part 300, thereby opening or closing the drain outlet 110. The operation is simple and quick.
[0132] The operating part 300 is driven to rotate relative to the cover 200, which in turn drives the transmission part 400 to move (including rotation, oscillation, and linear movement). As a key component connecting the operating part 300 and the drain plug 500, the transmission part 400 precisely transmits the rotational force of the operating part 300 to the drain plug 500, achieving effective linkage between the operating part 300 and the drain plug 500. This combination of technical features ensures that the user can achieve precise control of the drain outlet 110 through simple rotational movements.
[0133] A simple, efficient, and reliable control mechanism for the drain outlet 110 is achieved through the rotation of the operating unit 300, the movement of the transmission unit 400, and the corresponding movement of the drain plug 500. Users can easily open or close the drain outlet 110 without complex operations or tools, meeting the needs of various usage scenarios. Furthermore, the above solution features a compact structure, is easy to install and maintain, and enhances the product's practicality and market competitiveness.
[0134] The design of the operating unit 300, which is rotatably mounted on the cover 200, not only provides an intuitive operating structure but also allows the operating unit 300 to rotate at multiple angles relative to the cover 200. This design increases operational flexibility, allowing users to select different rotation angles to control the opening degree of the drain outlet 110 according to actual needs. Furthermore, the diverse movement modes of the transmission unit 400 (including rotation, oscillation, and linear movement) enable it to be flexibly adjusted according to different application scenarios and the movement requirements of the drain plug 500, further improving the adaptability and reliability of the entire solution.
[0135] Furthermore, the movement of the transmission unit 400 is diverse, and specific implementations may include the following schemes: 1. Rotation Implementation Method: The transmission unit 400 can rotate via a gear set or a rotating shaft structure. When the operating unit 300 rotates, the transmission unit 400 is driven to rotate around a fixed axis through gear meshing or shaft connection, and the rotational motion is directly transmitted to the drain plug 500. This method is suitable for scenarios where the drain plug 500 needs to be rotated to open and close.
[0136] 2. Oscillating Implementation: The transmission unit 400 can be designed as a lever structure or a connecting rod 420 mechanism, where the rotation of the operating unit 300 is converted into the oscillating motion of the transmission unit 400. For example, the operating unit 300 drives the crank to rotate, and the crank pulls the transmission unit 400 to oscillate around the fulcrum via the connecting rod 420, thereby pushing the drain plug 500 to make an arc motion to realize the opening and closing, which is suitable for occasions where space is limited or where the transmission needs to be reversed.
[0137] 3. Linear Motion Implementation: The transmission unit 400 can adopt a screw and nut mechanism, a rack and pinion structure, or a push rod assembly. When the operating unit 300 rotates, the rotational motion is converted into linear movement of the transmission unit 400 through the cooperation of the screw and nut, the meshing of the gear and rack, or the push rod driven by the cam. This drives the drain plug 500 to move up and down axially, realizing linear opening and closing control of the drain outlet 110, which is especially suitable for drainage scenarios that require precise stroke control.
[0138] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In some examples, the operating part 300 is connected to the transmission part 400. The operating part 300 is driven to rotate relative to the cover 200, which drives the transmission part 400 to move along the axial direction of the drain outlet 110 towards or away from the drain outlet 110, so as to open or close the drain outlet 110.
[0139] The connection between the operating unit 300 and the transmission unit 400 allows the user to easily control the movement of the transmission unit 400 via the operating unit 300. The rotation of the operating unit 300 can be directly converted into the axial movement of the transmission unit 400 in the drain outlet 110. This conversion mechanism is simple and efficient, allowing the user to quickly open or close the drain outlet 110.
[0140] When the operating unit 300 is driven to rotate relative to the cover 200, the operating unit 300 not only acts as a driving source, but also achieves precise control of the state of the drain outlet 110 through the transmission unit 400. The rotation of the operating unit 300 and the movement of the transmission unit 400 form a linkage mechanism, ensuring that the drain outlet 110 can be quickly opened or closed when needed, thus improving the operating efficiency and response speed of the equipment.
[0141] Through the ingenious coordination of the operating unit 300, the transmission unit 400, and the drain outlet 110, automated control of the drain outlet 110's status is achieved. Users can easily open or close the drain outlet 110 by simply operating the operating unit 300, greatly improving the ease of use and convenience of the equipment. Furthermore, the above solution has a compact structure, occupies little space, and is suitable for various installation environments.
[0142] The operating unit 300 is designed with ergonomic principles in mind; its shape, size, and materials have been carefully selected to ensure comfortable and accurate control of its rotation during use. Furthermore, the transmission unit 400 is made of high-strength, wear-resistant materials to ensure stable transmission performance over long-term use. Simultaneously, the fit between the transmission unit 400 and the drain outlet 110 is strictly controlled to ensure a tight seal when the drain outlet 110 is opened or closed, preventing leakage.
[0143] In some examples, the drain outlet 110 is located at the bottom of the barrel 100, and the transmission part 400 is inserted into the barrel 100 along the depth direction of the barrel 100. The upper end is connected to the operation part 300 for transmission, and the lower end is connected to the drain plug 500.
[0144] The operating unit 300 is driven to rotate relative to the cover 200, which drives the transmission unit 400 to move up and down along the depth direction of the barrel 100 to open or close the drain outlet 110.
[0145] The drain outlet 110 is located at the bottom of the tank 100. This design allows wastewater or excess liquid to drain smoothly, preventing accumulation inside the tank 100 and maintaining its cleanliness and hygiene. At the same time, the bottom location of the drain outlet 110 facilitates complete drainage of wastewater, improving drainage efficiency.
[0146] The transmission unit 400 is inserted into the interior of the barrel 100 along the depth direction of the barrel 100. Its upper end is connected to the operating unit 300, and its lower end is connected to the drain plug 500. This design realizes remote transmission between the operating unit 300 and the drain plug 500. The user only needs to operate the operating unit 300 to control the opening and closing of the drain plug 500, which is simple and labor-saving.
[0147] When the operating unit 300 is driven to rotate relative to the cover 200, it can drive the transmission unit 400 to move up and down along the depth direction of the barrel 100, thereby opening or closing the drain outlet 110. This mechanism enables remote control of the drain outlet 110, allowing users to complete the drainage operation without directly contacting the barrel 100 or the drain plug 500, which is both convenient and safe. At the same time, this design also improves the flexibility of the drainage operation, allowing users to drain water at any time as needed.
[0148] Through the coordinated action of the drain outlet 110, the transmission unit 400, the operating unit 300, and the drain plug 500, a highly efficient, safe, and convenient drainage device is achieved. This combination not only improves drainage efficiency but also maintains the cleanliness and hygiene of the tank 100, providing users with a better experience.
[0149] The transmission unit 400 can employ mechanical transmission methods such as screw drive, gear drive, or lever drive to ensure transmission efficiency and stability. Simultaneously, the transmission unit 400 may also be equipped with a guiding mechanism to guide its stable movement along the depth direction of the tank 100, preventing deviation or jamming. Furthermore, to further improve the convenience and safety of drainage operations, the operating unit 300 may adopt various forms such as rotary switches, push-button switches, or touch switches to meet the needs of different users.
[0150] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some examples, one of the operating part 300 and the transmission part 400 is provided with a groove 411, and the other is provided with a slider 322, which is inserted into the groove 411 and slides in cooperation with the groove 411.
[0151] The operating part 300 is driven to rotate relative to the cover 200, the slider 322 slides along the inclined groove 411, and drives the transmission part 400 to move up and down along the depth direction of the barrel 100 to open or close the drain outlet 110.
[0152] One of the operating unit 300 and the transmission unit 400 is provided with a sloping groove 411, and the other is provided with a slider 322. The slider 322 is inserted into the sloping groove 411 and slides in engagement with the groove 411. This design allows the operating unit 300 to drive the slider 322 to slide along the sloping groove 411 when it is driven to rotate relative to the cover 200, thereby realizing the vertical movement of the transmission unit 400 in the depth direction of the barrel 100. This sliding engagement method is simple in structure and easy to implement, ensuring the stability and reliability of operation.
[0153] When the three technical features of the operating unit 300 rotating, the slider 322 sliding along the inclined groove 411, and the transmission unit 400 moving up and down are combined, a complete and efficient control mechanism for the drain outlet 110 is formed. Users can easily open or close the drain outlet 110 by simply rotating the operating unit 300, making operation convenient and effortless. At the same time, this mechanism also improves product efficiency and user experience.
[0154] The operation unit 300, transmission unit 400, inclined groove 411, and slider 322 work together to achieve effective control of the drain outlet 110. This solution is not only simple and labor-saving to operate, but also compact and easy to implement, reducing product production and maintenance costs. Furthermore, this solution offers high stability and reliability, ensuring the long-term effectiveness of the product.
[0155] The shape, size, and position of the inclined groove 411 need to be set to ensure that the slider 322 can slide smoothly along the inclined groove 411 and drive the transmission unit 400 to achieve the expected up and down movement. Furthermore, the surface treatment of the inclined groove 411 is also very important, requiring the use of appropriate processes and materials to improve its wear resistance and service life. The design of the slider 322 also needs to consider various factors, such as material selection and dimensional fit, to ensure that its sliding fit with the inclined groove 411 achieves optimal results.
[0156] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some examples, both ends of the inclined groove 411 are provided with limiting grooves 412; when the slider 322 slides along the inclined groove 411 to the end of the inclined groove 411 and is limited to the limiting groove 412 at the end, the drain plug 500 remains in the current position, so that the drain outlet 110 is maintained in the open or closed state.
[0157] The design of setting limiting grooves 412 at both ends of the inclined groove 411 can ensure that the slider 322 is stably limited in the limiting groove 412 when it slides to the end of the inclined groove 411, thereby preventing the slider 322 from moving accidentally due to external factors (such as vibration) and ensuring that the drain plug 500 can be stably kept in the current position.
[0158] The combination of the inclined groove 411 and the limiting groove 412 not only enables the slider 322 to slide smoothly in the inclined groove 411, but also allows the slider 322 to be precisely positioned by the limiting groove 412, so that the drain plug 500 can accurately control the opening or closing state of the drain outlet 110, thereby improving the functionality and reliability of the device.
[0159] The overall solution achieves flexible control of the state of the drain outlet 110 through the coordinated action of the inclined groove 411, the slider 322, and the limiting groove 412. This solution is simple in structure, easy to operate, and can effectively meet various drainage needs, improving the practicality of the equipment and the user experience.
[0160] The design of the limiting groove 412 can be further optimized. For example, the shape and size of the limiting groove 412 can match the slider 322 to ensure that the slider 322 can be tightly embedded in the limiting groove 412, further enhancing stability. Furthermore, the position and number of the limiting grooves 412 can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to drainage requirements in different scenarios. For example, in scenarios requiring more precise control of drainage volume, the number of limiting grooves 412 can be increased to provide more positioning points for the slider 322 to choose from.
[0161] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some examples, the operating part 300 has a mounting arm 321 extending toward the transmission part 400 on the side near the transmission part 400, a slider 322 is provided at the end of the mounting arm 321, and a slant groove 411 is provided in the transmission part 400.
[0162] The operating part 300 has a mounting arm 321 extending towards the transmission part 400 on the side near the transmission part 400. This design allows the slider 322 to be securely mounted near the transmission part 400, increasing the stability and reliability of the structure. The slider 322 is located at the end of the mounting arm 321, ensuring that the slider 322 can accurately operate the transmission part 400 when moving, improving the accuracy of operation. A slanted groove 411 is provided in the transmission part 400, facilitating the sliding of the slider 322 within the slanted groove 411 to achieve the transmission function.
[0163] The combination of the mounting arm 321, slider 322, and inclined groove 411 allows the operating unit 300 to precisely control the movement of the transmission unit 400. The extended mounting arm 321 and the mounting position of the slider 322 ensure operational accuracy, while the design of the inclined groove 411 allows the slider 322 to slide smoothly on the transmission unit 400, achieving a stable transmission effect. This combination not only improves operational precision but also enhances the stability and durability of the structure.
[0164] By combining the mounting arm 321, slider 322, and inclined groove 411, precise control of the transmission unit 400 is achieved. This design not only improves the convenience and accuracy of operation but also makes the entire transmission system more stable and reliable. Furthermore, the above solution has advantages such as simple structure, ease of manufacture and maintenance, reducing production and maintenance costs.
[0165] The design of the mounting arm 321 considers not only stability and precision but also flexibility. By adjusting the length and angle of the mounting arm 321, it can adapt to different positions and shapes of the transmission parts 400, making the above solution have a wider range of applications. Meanwhile, the design of the slider 322 also fully considers wear resistance and lubrication to ensure good sliding performance and transmission efficiency during long-term use. The design of the inclined groove 411 emphasizes guidance and precision. Through precise machining and measurement, it ensures that the slider 322 can slide smoothly within the inclined groove 411, achieving a precise transmission effect.
[0166] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some examples, the slant groove 411 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the transmission part 400.
[0167] The inclined groove 411 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the transmission part 400. This layout optimizes the contact area and sliding path between the slider 322 and the inclined groove 411, further improving the smoothness of sliding and the stability of transmission. The outer peripheral surface of the transmission part 400 provides sufficient space for the inclined groove 411 to be arranged, ensuring that the slider 322 is not excessively obstructed or interfered with during sliding. At the same time, this design also facilitates heat dissipation and extends the service life of the transmission part 400.
[0168] The specific arrangement of the inclined grooves 411 on the outer circumferential surface of the transmission part 400 can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the inclined grooves 411 can be evenly distributed along the circumference of the transmission part 400 to ensure that the slider 322 can obtain stable sliding support at any position. Alternatively, the inclined grooves 411 can also be designed with specific angles and shapes to adapt to specific transmission requirements and operating scenarios. This flexibility allows the design of the inclined grooves 411 to better meet the diverse needs of practical applications.
[0169] Furthermore, the slanted groove 411 on the outer periphery of the transmission unit 400 helps improve the compactness and aesthetics of the structure. As a key component inside the mop bucket 1000, the design of the transmission unit 400 needs to consider not only functionality but also appearance and user experience. The close integration of the slanted groove 411 with the outer periphery of the transmission unit 400 makes the entire structure look cleaner and more orderly, enhancing the overall quality and grade of the product.
[0170] Through the careful design and coordination of the inclined groove 411, slider 322, and transmission unit 400, precise control of the drain outlet 110's state is achieved. Users can easily open or close the drain outlet 110 by simply operating the operating unit 300, which controls the sliding of the slider 322 and the movement of the transmission unit 400. This design not only improves the convenience and accuracy of operation but also enhances the product's practicality and market competitiveness. Furthermore, the above solution offers advantages such as simple structure, ease of manufacturing and maintenance, providing users with a better user experience.
[0171] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some examples, one of the operating part 300 and the transmission part 400 is provided with a ramp 413, and the other is provided with an abutment block 324.
[0172] The operating part 300 is driven to rotate relative to the cover 200, the abutment block 324 slides along the inclined surface 413, and drives the transmission part 400 to move up and down along the depth direction of the barrel 100 to open or close the drain outlet 110.
[0173] The inclined surface 413 on the operating part 300 cooperates with the abutment block 324 on the transmission part 400, enabling the abutment block 324 to slide along the inclined surface 413 when the operating part 300 rotates. This design allows the rotational motion of the operating part 300 to be converted into linear movement of the transmission part 400 in the depth direction of the barrel 100, providing a power source for opening or closing the drain outlet 110.
[0174] When the operating part 300 is driven to rotate relative to the cover 200, the combined action of the inclined surface 413 and the abutment block 324 enables the transmission part 400 to move up and down along the depth direction of the barrel 100. This design not only simplifies the opening and closing mechanism of the drain outlet 110, but also improves the convenience and efficiency of operation. With a simple rotation action, the user can easily open or close the drain outlet 110.
[0175] Through the ingenious cooperation between the inclined surface 413 and the abutment block 324, the conversion from rotation of the operating part 300 to linear movement of the transmission part 400 is achieved, thereby realizing the opening and closing function of the drain outlet 110. The above solution has a compact structure and is easy to operate, greatly improving the user experience. At the same time, the above solution also has a certain degree of stability and durability, and can maintain a good working condition for a long time.
[0176] The inclined surface 413 provided on the operating part 300 can have its inclination angle and length adjusted according to actual needs. By adjusting the inclination angle and length of the inclined surface 413, the resistance and stroke of the abutment block 324 when sliding on the inclined surface 413 can be changed, thereby achieving precise control of the moving speed and stroke of the transmission part 400. In addition, the material and shape of the abutment block 324 can also be selected and designed according to the actual application scenario to improve its wear resistance and service life.
[0177] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some examples, limit portions 414 are provided at both ends of the inclined surface 413; when the abutting block 324 slides along the inclined surface 413 to abut against the limit portion 414 of the inclined surface 413, the drain plug 500 remains in the current position, so that the drain outlet 110 remains in the open or closed state.
[0178] The presence of limiting portions 414 at both ends of the inclined surface 413 ensures that the abutment block 324 can remain stably stationary when sliding to both ends of the inclined surface 413, preventing accidental movement due to external forces or vibrations. When the abutment block 324 abuts against the limiting portions 414 of the inclined surface 413, the position of the drain plug 500 is fixed, thereby achieving stable maintenance of the drain outlet 110.
[0179] The engagement between the inclined surface 413 and the limiting part 414 not only enables the sliding control of the abutment block 324 on the inclined surface 413, but also ensures the stability of the drain plug 500 in a specific position through the blocking effect of the limiting part 414. This design simplifies the operation process and improves the reliability and durability of the drainage system.
[0180] The coordinated operation of the inclined surface 413, the limiting part 414, and the abutment block 324 enables convenient opening and closing and stable maintenance of the drain outlet 110. Users can control the opening or closing of the drain outlet 110 with a simple sliding operation, and the operation is stable and reliable. Furthermore, the above solution has advantages such as simple structure, ease of implementation and maintenance, and is suitable for various occasions requiring drainage control.
[0181] The design of the limiting part 414 can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the limiting part 414 can take the form of a protrusion, a groove, or an elastic element to achieve effective contact with the abutment block 324. At the same time, the position and number of the limiting parts 414 can also be reasonably arranged according to the length of the inclined surface 413 and the control requirements of the drain plug 500 to ensure that the drain plug 500 can be stably supported and fixed in different positions. In addition, the inclination angle and surface material of the inclined surface 413 can also be optimized according to the usage environment and operating requirements to improve the sliding effect and user experience.
[0182] Reference Figure 3and Figure 4 In some examples, the operating part 300 has a connecting arm 323 extending toward the transmission part 400 on the side near the transmission part 400, and an abutment block 324 is formed at the end of the connecting arm 323; the transmission part 400 has an inclined surface 413 along the circumference of the transmission part 400 at the end near the operating part 300.
[0183] The operating unit 300 has a connecting arm 323 extending towards the transmission unit 400 on the side near the transmission unit 400. This design makes the connection between the operating unit 300 and the transmission unit 400 more stable, effectively transmitting operating force and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of transmission. An abutment block 324 is formed at the end of the connecting arm 323. The presence of the abutment block 324 increases the contact area between the operating unit 300 and the transmission unit 400, further enhancing the stability of the connection and facilitating precise transmission control.
[0184] When the connecting arm 323 of the operating unit 300 is combined with the inclined surface 413 of the transmission unit 400, this design not only achieves an effective connection between the operating unit 300 and the transmission unit 400, but also makes the transmission process smoother through the setting of the inclined surface 413. The inclined surface 413 can guide the abutment block 324 of the connecting arm 323 to gradually change direction during the transmission process, thereby achieving a smooth transmission transition, reducing impact and noise during the transmission process, and improving the service life of the equipment.
[0185] The efficient and stable connection between the operating unit 300 and the transmission unit 400 is achieved through the cooperation of the connecting arm 323 and the inclined plane 413. This design not only improves the accuracy and reliability of the transmission but also optimizes the transmission process, reduces energy consumption and wear, and extends the service life of the equipment. At the same time, this design also has the advantages of simple structure, ease of manufacturing and maintenance, reducing production and operation costs.
[0186] The design of the connecting arm 323 takes into account the requirements of operating force and transmission efficiency. Its length, width, and thickness have all been precisely calculated to ensure sufficient rigidity and stability when transmitting operating force. Furthermore, the material selection for the connecting arm 323 is also crucial, requiring sufficient strength and wear resistance to withstand various forces and frictions during transmission. The design of the inclined surface 413 fully considers the dynamic characteristics of the transmission process. Its tilt angle and surface roughness parameters have been optimized to achieve the best transmission effect and wear resistance.
[0187] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some examples, the operating part 300 includes an operating member 310 protruding from the top of the cover 200 and a driving member 320 that is pulsatorically connected to the operating member 310. The driving member 320 is pulsatorically connected to the other end of the transmission part 400.
[0188] The operating component 310 is driven to move relative to the cover 200, which in turn drives the driving component 320 to move relative to the cover 200. The movement of the driving component 320 drives the transmission part 400 to move.
[0189] The design of the operating unit 300 includes an operating component 310 protruding from the top of the cover 200 and a drive component 320 that is connected to the operating component 310, allowing the user to conveniently control the drive component 320 through the operating component 310. The protruding design of the operating component 310 improves the convenience of user operation, allowing the user to intuitively find the operating position and perform the operation.
[0190] The transmission connection between the operating component 310 and the driving component 320, as well as the transmission connection between the driving component 320 and the other end of the transmission unit 400, enables the linkage between the operating unit 300, the driving component 320, and the transmission unit 400. When the user operates the operating component 310, the driving component 320 moves accordingly, further driving the transmission unit 400 to move, thereby realizing the functional operation of the entire device. This transmission connection method improves the motion efficiency and stability of the device.
[0191] The coordinated arrangement of the operating unit 300, driving component 320, and transmission unit 400 enables convenient control of the cover 200 and related components. Users can drive the entire device to perform the desired actions simply by operating the operating component 310, improving the device's ease of use and practicality. Furthermore, the compact structure of this design helps reduce manufacturing costs and enhances the product's market competitiveness.
[0192] The design of the operating element 310 can take ergonomic principles into account, ensuring that its shape, size, and material meet the needs of different users. For example, the operating element 310 can be designed in an arc or oval shape that conforms to the shape of the hand, thereby improving the user's comfort and accuracy. In addition, the surface of the operating element 310 can be provided with anti-slip textures or materials that increase friction to prevent the user from slipping or misoperating during use.
[0193] The design of the drive unit 320 can consider using a high-efficiency and stable transmission mechanism, such as gear transmission, chain transmission, or belt transmission, to ensure that the drive unit 320 can accurately and quickly respond to the commands of the operating unit 310. At the same time, the materials and manufacturing process of the drive unit 320 also need to take into account factors such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and fatigue resistance to ensure its long-term stable operation.
[0194] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4In some examples, the cover 200 is provided with a through hole 230, and the main body parts of the operating member 310 and the driving member 320 are respectively provided on both sides of the through hole 230; the end of the operating member 310 near the driving member 320 passes through the through hole 230 and is locked and engaged with the driving member 320, or the end of the driving member 320 near the operating member 310 passes through the through hole 230 and is locked and engaged with the operating member 310.
[0195] The through hole 230 provided on the cover 200 allows the operating component 310 and the driving component 320 to be connected or locked together through the through hole 230, providing a physical channel for their assembly and cooperation, and enhancing the flexibility and operability of the structure.
[0196] The main bodies of the operating component 310 and the driving component 320 are respectively located on both sides of the through hole 230, with one end passing through the through hole 230 to achieve a limiting snap-fit connection. This combination feature ensures a stable connection between the operating component 310 and the driving component 320, avoiding the risk of loosening or falling off. At the same time, the limiting snap-fit method improves the accuracy and stability of the connection, ensuring the reliability and durability of the overall structure.
[0197] By using the through hole 230 and the limiting engagement between the operating component 310 and the driving component 320, an effective connection and cooperation between the two is achieved, improving the stability and reliability of the overall structure. This design not only simplifies the assembly process and reduces production costs, but also enhances the user experience and lifespan of the product.
[0198] The through-hole 230 not only facilitates the connection between the operating component 310 and the driving component 320, but also allows for the adjustment of the size, shape, and position of the through-hole 230 to accommodate different models and specifications of the operating component 310 and driving component 320, enhancing the product's versatility and flexibility. Furthermore, the limiting snap-fit connection can employ various structural forms, such as snap-fit, slot, and thread, to meet different connection requirements and usage scenarios, further improving the overall solution's adaptability and practicality.
[0199] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some examples, the operating member 310 is provided with a snap-fit arm 311 at the end near the driving member 320, and the driving member 320 is provided with a snap-fit groove 325 at the end near the operating member 310. The snap-fit arm 311 passes through the through hole 230 and is snapped into place by the snap-fit groove 325.
[0200] The locking arm 311 on the operating component 310 engages with the locking groove 325 on the driving component 320. The locking arm 311 passes through the through hole 230 and engages with the locking groove 325, achieving a secure connection between the operating component 310 and the driving component 320. This locking method not only simplifies installation but also effectively prevents relative displacement or detachment of the operating component 310 and the driving component 320 during use, ensuring the stability and reliability of the equipment.
[0201] When the operating component 310 is engaged with the locking groove 325 of the driving component 320 via the locking arm 311, the two form an integral structure. This structure not only enhances the overall strength of the equipment but also allows the operating component 310 to transmit driving force to the driving component 320 more precisely, thereby improving the transmission efficiency and response speed of the equipment. Furthermore, the cooperation between the locking arm 311 and the locking groove 325 also has a certain self-locking function, further enhancing the safety performance of the equipment.
[0202] The aforementioned snap-fit design enables a quick and secure connection between the operating component 310 and the driving component 320. This connection method not only simplifies the equipment assembly process and reduces production costs, but also significantly improves the stability and transmission efficiency of the equipment. Furthermore, this solution offers excellent adaptability and versatility, making it widely applicable to various mechanical equipment requiring precise transmission and stable connections.
[0203] The snap-fit arm 311 is designed with a certain degree of elasticity, allowing it to deform slightly when inserted into the snap-fit slot 325, thus facilitating a more secure locking connection. Once fully inserted, the snap-fit arm 311's return to its original shape further reinforces the connection. Furthermore, the shape and size of the snap-fit arm 311 and the snap-fit slot 325 can be adjusted to suit different equipment and transmission requirements. For example, the snap-fit arm 311 can be designed in various shapes, such as hooks or wedges, to increase the stability of the connection and the magnitude of the transmitted force.
[0204] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some examples, the operating member 310 is rotatably set relative to the cover 200. The operating member 310 is driven to rotate relative to the cover 200, which drives the driving member 320 to rotate in the same direction. The rotation of the driving member 320 drives the transmission part 400 to move.
[0205] The operating element 310 is rotatably mounted relative to the cover 200, a technical feature that allows the operating element 310 to rotate relative to the cover 200, providing a basis for subsequent transmission. Through the rotation of the operating element 310, the user can easily apply driving force to realize the functional operation of the equipment.
[0206] The operating element 310 is driven to rotate relative to the cover 200, which in turn drives the driving element 320 to rotate in the same direction. This combined technical feature enables the transmission of force from the operating element 310 to the driving element 320. When the operating element 310 rotates, it can effectively drive the driving element 320 to rotate in the same direction. This synchronous rotation ensures the accuracy and reliability of the transmission and provides a stable power source for the subsequent movement of the transmission unit 400.
[0207] The rotation of the operating component 310 drives the driving component 320 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission unit 400 to move, thus achieving efficient transmission and conversion of force. This design not only simplifies the structure of the equipment and reduces manufacturing costs, but also improves the ease of operation and efficiency of use. Users can achieve the expected functions of the equipment simply by rotating the operating component 310.
[0208] In the technical features of the rotating arrangement of the operating component 310 and the cover 200, further consideration can be given to details such as the shape, material, and rotation method of the operating component 310. For example, the operating component 310 can be designed with an ergonomic shape to improve user comfort; in terms of material, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials can be selected to extend the service life of the operating component 310; in terms of rotation method, various methods such as gear transmission and belt transmission can be adopted to adapt to different application scenarios and needs. At the same time, the design of the drive component 320 also needs to consider factors such as its transmission efficiency, load-bearing capacity, and compatibility with other components.
[0209] Reference Figures 5 to 6 In some examples, the drain outlet 110 is located at the bottom of the barrel 100, and the other end of the transmission part 400 is fixedly connected to the drain plug 500.
[0210] The operating part 300 is driven to move relative to the cover 200, which drives the transmission part 400 to move up and down along the depth direction of the barrel 100. When the transmission part 400 moves upward, it drives the drain plug 500 to move in the same direction to open the drain outlet 110. When the transmission part 400 moves downward, it drives the drain plug 500 to move in the same direction to close the drain outlet 110.
[0211] The drain outlet 110 is located at the bottom of the bucket 100. This design allows for more thorough drainage, ensuring that water accumulated inside the bucket 100 can be smoothly discharged and avoiding residue problems. The other end of the transmission unit 400 is fixedly connected to the drain plug 500, ensuring that the movement of the transmission unit 400 can be accurately transmitted to the drain plug 500, thus achieving effective control of the drain outlet 110.
[0212] The operating unit 300 is driven to move relative to the cover 200, a design that allows the user to control the movement of the transmission unit 400 by operating the operating unit 300. The transmission unit 400 moves up and down along the depth direction of the barrel 100, driving the drain plug 500 to move synchronously, thereby opening and closing the drain outlet 110. This combination not only simplifies the operation process but also improves the accuracy and stability of drainage control.
[0213] The coordinated arrangement of the operating unit 300, transmission unit 400, and drain plug 500 enables effective control of the drain outlet 110 at the bottom of the tank 100. Users can easily complete the drainage process by simply operating the operating unit 300, greatly improving convenience and efficiency. Furthermore, the above solution is compact, easy to install and maintain, and reduces operating costs.
[0214] As a key component connecting the operating unit 300 and the drain plug 500, the design of the transmission unit 400 is crucial. In this example, the transmission unit 400 may be made of high-strength, wear-resistant materials to ensure long-term stability and reliability. Furthermore, the connection method between the transmission unit 400 and the operating unit 300 and the drain plug 500 may also be carefully designed to ensure accurate transmission of motion and structural robustness. These extended descriptions further demonstrate the attention to detail and optimization of the overall solution.
[0215] Reference Figure 7 , Figures 9 to 11 In some examples, the transmission unit 400 includes a mating member 410 and a connecting rod 420, one end of which is connected to the mating member 410 and the other end is fixedly connected to the drain plug 500. The mating member 410 is connected to the operating unit 300 in a transmission manner.
[0216] The operating part 300 is driven to move relative to the cover 200, which drives the mating part 410 to move up and down along the depth direction of the barrel 100. The mating part 410 drives the connecting rod 420 to move in the same direction, and the connecting rod 420 drives the drain plug 500 to move up and down.
[0217] The transmission unit 400 includes a mating member 410 and a connecting rod 420. This design allows the operating unit 300 to be effectively converted into the up-and-down movement of the drain plug 500 through the transmission connection between the mating member 410 and the connecting rod 420. The connection between the mating member 410 and the connecting rod 420 ensures the stability and reliability of the transmission, enabling the drain plug 500 to accurately respond to the actions of the operating unit 300.
[0218] One end of the connecting rod 420 is connected to the mating part 410, and the other end is fixedly connected to the drain plug 500. This design realizes a direct drive chain from the operating part 300 to the drain plug 500. When the operating part 300 is driven to move relative to the cover 200, it can drive the mating part 410 to move up and down along the depth direction of the barrel 100, and then drive the drain plug 500 to move in the same direction through the connecting rod 420. This combination simplifies the transmission structure, improves transmission efficiency, and makes the drainage operation smoother and more efficient.
[0219] The coordinated arrangement of the transmission unit 400, the operating unit 300, and the drain plug 500 enables intelligent control of the washing machine's drain outlet 110. Users can easily open and close the drain plug 500 by operating the operating unit 300, thereby controlling the washing machine's drainage process. This design not only improves the washing machine's intelligence level but also enhances the user experience.
[0220] The transmission connection between the mating component 410 and the operating unit 300 can be designed in various forms, such as gear transmission, belt transmission, or screw transmission. Each of these transmission methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, and can be selected according to actual needs and design considerations. Furthermore, the material and shape of the mating component 410 and the connecting rod 420 can be optimized according to specific application scenarios to improve transmission stability and durability. For example, high-strength, wear-resistant materials can be selected to manufacture the mating component 410 and the connecting rod 420 to ensure long-term stable operation.
[0221] Reference Figures 11 to 15 In some examples, the mop bucket 1000 also includes a reset member 600, which is disposed between the operating part 300 and the cover 200, or between the operating part 300 and the transmission part 400, or between the transmission part 400 and the bucket body 100, or between the drain plug 500 and the bucket body 100.
[0222] When the operating part 300 is driven to move relative to the cover 200, it drives the transmission part 400 to move, which in turn drives the drain plug 500 to move to open or close the drain outlet 110, the reset member 600 stores force; the reset member 600 releases force, drives the drain plug 500 to move and reset, and drives the operating part 300 and the transmission part 400 to reset.
[0223] The reset component 600 is designed to automatically reset the drain plug 500, operating unit 300, and transmission unit 400 when the operating unit 300 is driven to move relative to the cover 200, by accumulating force and releasing force after operation. This feature improves the ease of use of the mop bucket 1000, eliminating the need for manual reset of individual components and saving time and effort.
[0224] The combination of the operating unit 300, the transmission unit 400, the drain plug 500, and the reset component 600 forms an automatic reset system. When the user operates the operating unit 300, the transmission unit 400 moves accordingly, thereby driving the drain plug 500 to open or close the drain outlet 110, while the reset component 600 stores force during this process. After the operation is completed, the reset component 600 releases force, automatically resetting the drain plug 500, the operating unit 300, and the transmission unit 400, thus realizing the automatic opening and closing of the drain outlet 110 of the mop bucket 1000 and the automatic reset of the components, improving the automation level and efficiency of use.
[0225] By using the reset component 600 in conjunction with the operating unit 300, the transmission unit 400, the drain plug 500, and other components, the automatic opening and closing of the drain outlet 110 of the mop bucket 1000 and the automatic reset of the components are achieved, improving ease of use, automation, and efficiency. At the same time, the reset component 600 also increases the durability and stability of the mop bucket 1000, extending its service life.
[0226] The reset element 600 can be located between the operating part 300 and the cover 200, or between the operating part 300 and the transmission part 400, or between the transmission part 400 and the bucket 100, or between the drain plug 500 and the bucket 100. This flexible arrangement allows the reset element 600 to adapt to different mop bucket 1000 structures and user needs. For example, when the reset element 600 is located between the operating part 300 and the cover 200, it can directly store force when the user operates the operating part 300, and quickly release force to reset the component after the operation is completed. When the reset element 600 is located between the drain plug 500 and the bucket 100, it can more directly control the reset of the drain plug 500, improving the accuracy and stability of drainage. This flexible arrangement provides more possibilities and choices for the design and use of the mop bucket 1000.
[0227] Reference Figures 11 to 13 In some examples, the reset element 600 is a spring 610 disposed between the operating part 300 and the cover 200, or between the operating part 300 and the transmission part 400, or between the transmission part 400 and the barrel 100, or between the drain plug 500 and the barrel 100.
[0228] When the operating part 300 is driven to move relative to the cover 200, it drives the transmission part 400 to move, which in turn drives the drain plug 500 to move away from the drain outlet 110 to open the drain outlet 110. At this time, the reset member 600 stores force. When the reset member 600 releases force, it drives the drain plug 500 to move closer to the drain outlet 110 to close the drain outlet 110, and drives the operating part 300 and the transmission part 400 to reset.
[0229] The reset element 600, as a key component, is positioned at different locations among the operating part 300, cover 200, transmission part 400, and barrel 100 and drain plug 500, allowing for flexible installation options. This design enables the reset element 600 to effectively store and release energy, providing power for the opening and closing of the drain plug 500.
[0230] The coordinated arrangement of the operating unit 300, transmission unit 400, drain plug 500, and reset member 600 constitutes an efficient drainage control mechanism. When the operating unit 300 is driven by an external force, it can drive the transmission unit 400, which in turn drives the drain plug 500 to move, opening or closing the drain outlet 110. During this process, the reset member 600 is responsible for accumulating energy (when the drain plug 500 is open) and releasing energy (when the drain plug 500 is closed), ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the entire process.
[0231] The above solution, through the ingenious combination of the reset component 600, the operating part 300, the transmission part 400, and the drain plug 500, realizes a drainage control device with a simple structure and convenient operation. It can quickly open the drain outlet 110 when needed to discharge liquid, and automatically close the drain outlet 110 after discharge to prevent liquid leakage. This automatic reset function greatly improves efficiency and convenience.
[0232] The reset element 600 employs a spring 610 design, which possesses excellent elasticity and durability. The spring force of the spring 610 can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that the drain plug 500 has appropriate force when opening and closing. In addition, the installation position of the spring 610 is flexible and can be varied, allowing the selection of the most suitable installation point according to specific application scenarios, further improving the adaptability and practicality of the entire drainage control device.
[0233] Reference Figure 14 and Figure 15 In some examples, the reset element 600 is an elastic rope 620 disposed between the transmission part 400 and the barrel 100.
[0234] When the operating part 300 is driven to move relative to the cover 200, it drives the transmission part 400 to move, which in turn drives the drain plug 500 to move closer to the drain outlet 110 to close the drain outlet 110. At this time, the reset member 600 stores force. When the reset member 600 releases force, it drives the drain plug 500 to move away from the drain outlet 110 to open the drain outlet 110, and drives the operating part 300 and the transmission part 400 to reset.
[0235] The reset element 600 is configured as an elastic cord 620, a feature that allows it to provide a stable elastic force between the transmission unit 400 and the barrel 100. When the operating unit 300 is driven to move relative to the cover 200, the elastic cord 620 stores force, providing power for the subsequent opening of the drain plug 500. This design not only simplifies the structure but also improves the reliability and efficiency of the reset action.
[0236] The combined use of the operating unit 300, transmission unit 400, drain plug 500, and reset element 600 (elastic rope 620) enables the automatic opening and closing function of the drain outlet 110. The movement of the operating unit 300 is transmitted to the drain plug 500 via the transmission unit 400, controlling the closing of the drain outlet 110; while the unloading force of the reset element 600 (elastic rope 620) causes the drain plug 500 to open the drain outlet 110, simultaneously resetting the operating unit 300 and the transmission unit 400. This combined technical feature ensures that the drain outlet 110 can respond quickly and accurately to operating commands, improving the automation level of the equipment.
[0237] The above-described configuration enables the automatic opening and closing and resetting of the drain outlet 110. This not only improves the ease of operation of the equipment but also reduces the difficulty and cost of manual operation. Furthermore, the above solution has the advantages of simple structure and easy maintenance, making it suitable for various scenarios requiring automatic drainage.
[0238] The reset component 600 uses an elastic rope 620, which not only has the advantages of low cost and easy availability, but also allows the elastic force to be adjusted according to actual needs to meet the opening and closing force requirements of different drain outlets 110. In addition, the use of the elastic rope 620 also has a certain buffering effect, which can protect the transmission part 400 and the drain plug 500 from damage when the operating part 300 is subjected to impact, thereby improving the durability and reliability of the equipment.
[0239] In some examples, the barrel 100 is divided into multiple chambers 130 by partitions, and each chamber 130 is provided with a drain outlet 110 at its lower part, and each drain outlet 110 has a drain plug 500 that is matched with it.
[0240] The transmission unit 400 is connected to multiple drain plugs 500 respectively; the operating unit 300 is driven to move relative to the cover 200, which drives the transmission unit 400 to move, and the movement of the transmission unit 400 drives the multiple drain plugs 500 to move, so as to open or close multiple drain outlets 110 at the same time.
[0241] The barrel 100 is divided into multiple chambers 130 by partitions. Each chamber 130 has a drain outlet 110 and a drain plug 500 at the bottom. This design allows each chamber 130 to drain independently, improving the flexibility and efficiency of drainage.
[0242] The transmission unit 400 is connected to multiple drain plugs 500. The operating unit 300 is driven to move relative to the cover 200, which in turn drives the transmission unit 400 to move, thereby causing the multiple drain plugs 500 to move simultaneously. This coordination method achieves the effect of simultaneously controlling the opening or closing of multiple drain plugs 500 through a single operating unit 300, simplifying the operation steps and improving the convenience of drainage operation.
[0243] The overall solution cleverly divides the tank 100 into multiple independent chambers 130, and through the cooperation of the transmission unit 400 and the operation unit 300, achieves unified control of the drain outlets 110 of multiple chambers 130. This not only improves the flexibility and efficiency of drainage, but also greatly simplifies the operation steps, making the entire drainage process more convenient and efficient.
[0244] The drain plug 500 and the drain outlet 110 are designed with a sealing fit to effectively prevent water leakage when closed, ensuring the airtightness of the chamber 130. At the same time, the material and design of the drain plug 500 also take into account durability and ease of operation, allowing users to easily open or close the drain plug 500 for drainage operations.
[0245] As a key component connecting the operating unit 300 and the drain plug 500, the structural design of the transmission unit 400 is crucial. In this example, the transmission unit 400 may employ a linkage 420, gears, or other transmission mechanisms. Through ingenious mechanical structure design, the driving force of the operating unit 300 is transmitted evenly and stably to each drain plug 500. This design not only ensures transmission efficiency but also improves the stability and reliability of the entire drainage system.
[0246] Reference Figure 14 and Figure 15 In some examples, the drain outlet 110 of each chamber 130 is located at the bottom of the chamber 130 near the center of the barrel 100.
[0247] The transmission unit 400 includes multiple transmission sub-units 421, and different transmission sub-units 421 are respectively disposed in different chambers 130 along the depth direction of the barrel 100; the upper ends of the multiple transmission sub-units 421 are connected to the operation unit 300, and the lower ends are connected to the drain plugs 500 disposed in cooperation with the drain outlets 110 of the corresponding chambers 130.
[0248] The operating unit 300 is driven to move relative to the cover 200, causing multiple transmission sub-units 421 to move up and down simultaneously along the depth direction of the barrel 100. The up and down movement of the multiple transmission sub-units 421 causes the drain plug 500 connected to them to move up and down, so as to open or close multiple drain outlets 110 simultaneously.
[0249] The drain outlet 110 of each chamber 130 is located at the bottom of the chamber 130 near the center of the barrel 100, which facilitates the concentration and smooth flow of water during drainage and improves drainage efficiency. At the same time, this design also makes the position of the drain outlet 110 relatively fixed, which facilitates the precise cooperation between the subsequent transmission unit 400 and the drain plug 500.
[0250] The transmission unit 400 includes multiple transmission sub-units 421, which are respectively disposed in different chambers 130. The upper ends of each sub-unit are connected to the operating unit 300, and the lower ends are connected to the drain plugs 500 of the corresponding chambers 130. This design enables simultaneous control of the drain outlets 110 of multiple chambers 130 by a single operating unit 300. When the operating unit 300 is driven, it can simultaneously move multiple transmission sub-units 421 up and down along the depth direction of the barrel 100, thereby simultaneously opening or closing multiple drain plugs 500, improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.
[0251] Through the design of the drain outlet 110 position, the arrangement of multiple transmission sub-units 421 in the transmission unit 400, and the unified control of the operation unit 300, synchronous control of the drain outlets 110 of multiple chambers 130 is achieved. This design not only improves the convenience and efficiency of drainage operation, but also helps to maintain the water level balance of each chamber 130 within the tank 100, thus enhancing the overall user experience.
[0252] Multiple transmission sub-units 421 are respectively arranged along the depth direction of the barrel 100, ensuring that the drain outlet 110 of each chamber 130 can be independently controlled. At the same time, the connection method between the transmission sub-units 421 and the operating unit 300 and the drain plug 500 also needs to be carefully designed to ensure the stability and accuracy of the transmission. For example, gear transmission, chain transmission, or linkage 420 transmission can be used, and the appropriate transmission method can be selected according to the specific application scenario and requirements. Furthermore, to further improve the reliability and durability of the transmission, the material and structure of the transmission sub-units 421 can be optimized and improved.
[0253] Reference Figure 14 and Figure 15 In some examples, a cylindrical partition 140 with a lower opening 120 is provided in the center of the barrel 100, and a drain outlet 110 of each chamber 130 is provided on the side wall of the chamber 130 corresponding to the partition 140. The chamber 130 is connected to the external area of the barrel 100 through the drain outlet 110 and the opening 120 of the partition 140.
[0254] The transmission unit 400 passes through the hollow area of the partition 140. The operating unit 300 is driven to move relative to the cover 200, causing the transmission unit 400 to move up and down along the axial direction of the cylindrical partition 140. The up and down movement of the transmission unit 400 causes the drain plug 500 to move up and down, thereby simultaneously opening or closing multiple drain outlets 110. (This achieves the effect of simultaneously opening multiple drain plugs 500. The cylindrical partition 140 is sleeved in the middle of the barrel 100, the lifting rod is located in the partition 140, and the drain outlets 110 are on the side wall of the partition 140.) The partition 140 is cylindrical with an open end 120 at the bottom. This design allows the drain outlet 110 of each chamber 130 to be located on the side wall of the corresponding partition 140. This layout not only optimizes space utilization but also ensures smooth communication between the chamber 130 and the external area of the tank body 100 through the drain outlet 110 and the open end 120 of the partition 140, providing a basis for subsequent drainage operations.
[0255] The transmission unit 400 passes through the hollow area of the partition 140 and is connected to the operating unit 300, allowing the operating unit 300 to move relative to the cover 200 when driven, thereby driving the transmission unit 400 to move up and down along the axial direction of the partition 140. This cooperation method achieves effective linkage between the transmission unit 400 and the operating unit 300, as well as stable movement of the transmission unit 400 within the partition 140. More importantly, the up and down movement of the transmission unit 400 can drive the drain plug 500 to move up and down synchronously, thereby realizing the function of simultaneously opening or closing multiple drain ports 110, significantly improving the efficiency and convenience of drainage operation.
[0256] The above structure realizes an efficient and convenient drainage system. The partition 140 optimizes the spatial layout, and the linkage between the transmission unit 400 and the operating unit 300 ensures the synchronous movement of the drain plug 500, thereby achieving synchronous control of multiple drain ports 110. This solution not only improves drainage efficiency but also simplifies the operation process, providing users with a better experience. At the same time, the structure of this solution also ensures the sealing effect of the drain plug and the cleanliness and dryness of the transmission unit, effectively extending the service life of the drain plug and the transmission unit.
[0257] As a key component in this design, the separator 140, with its cylindrical shape and open lower end 120, not only meets the requirements for the drain outlet 110 but also provides space for the transmission unit 400 to pass through. This design not only enhances the structural compactness but also facilitates smooth communication between the drain outlet 110 and the external area of the tank body 100. Furthermore, the material and manufacturing process of the separator 140 are also important factors affecting its performance. For example, using high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials to make the separator 140 ensures good durability and stability during use. At the same time, precise manufacturing processes are crucial for ensuring the dimensional accuracy and assembly quality of the separator 140.
[0258] The aforementioned partition 140 can be a cylindrical structure with its bottom connected to the chamber 130. Part of the transmission unit 400 is disposed within the partition 140. The cross-sectional shape of the partition 140 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.

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.
