[0057] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0058] The following is combined Figures 1 to 9 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0059] This utility model discloses a cleaning bucket, including a bucket body 1 and a cleaning component 3; the bucket body 1 is provided with a liquid storage chamber 11; the liquid storage chamber 11 has an outlet for guiding the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11 to flow out; a switch structure 2 is provided at the outlet for opening and closing the outlet; the cleaning component 3 is movably disposed inside the bucket body 1; the cleaning component 3 is used to clean the structure 6 to be cleaned; the cleaning component 3 can at least cover the working area of ​​the structure 6 to be cleaned; and the position of the cleaning component 3 corresponds to the switch structure 2; the movement of the cleaning component 3 can drive the switch structure 2 to open and close the outlet.

[0060] This application uses the cleaning component 3 to drive the switch to open and close, eliminating the need for an additional drive structure. This reduces the number of parts, resulting in a simpler and more compact overall structure. When the structure to be cleaned 6 moves on the cleaning component 3, this application can also achieve simultaneous cleaning and liquid dispensing, preventing issues of delayed dispensing and liquid waste. Furthermore, since the cleaning component 3 can at least cover the working area of ​​the structure to be cleaned 6, it improves the cleaning efficiency and effect. Its relatively large size also makes it easier for users to accurately drive, making it more convenient to use.

[0061] When in use, the user can use their hand or other tools to drive the cleaning component 3 to open the opening, allowing the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11 to flow into the tank body 1, and then use the liquid in the tank body 1 to wet and clean the structure 6 to be cleaned; or after wetting and cleaning, the cleaning component 3 can be used to clean the structure 6 to be cleaned.

[0062] During use, users can also use the structure to be cleaned 6 to directly drive the cleaning component 3 to open and close the opening, achieving the effect of cleaning while water is flowing out, thus improving cleaning efficiency.

[0063] In this application, the structure 6 to be cleaned includes cleaning items such as mop heads, glass cleaning heads, brushes, combs, rags, and cotton pads. The structure 6 can also be other items that need to be cleaned, such as cutting boards, knives, and dishes. The structure 6 can also be household items, decorations, etc.

[0064] This application also discloses some embodiments, and the cleaning component 3 of this application includes a rigid component.

[0065] In some embodiments, the cleaning component 3 may include cleaning teeth, scrapers, brushes, cleaning cotton, squeeze wheels, etc.

[0066] In some embodiments, the liquid in the reservoir 11 may include any liquid such as water, cleaning solution, disinfectant, or liquid cleaning agent.

[0067] In some embodiments, the liquid storage chamber 11 may be disposed inside the barrel 1; it may also be disposed outside the barrel 1; or it may be disposed above the barrel 1; the liquid storage chamber 11 may be integrally connected to the barrel 1, fixedly connected, or detachably connected, such as being detachably placed on the top or side of the barrel 1.

[0068] In this application, "the cleaning component 3 can at least cover the working area of ​​the structure 6 to be cleaned" means that the area to be cleaned by the cleaning component 3 is at least covered in a certain direction when the cleaning component 3 cleans the structure 6; for example, the size of the cleaning component 3 is greater than or equal to the working area. For example, the size and / or shape of the cleaning component 3 is perfectly adapted to the area to be cleaned. When the structure 6 to be cleaned is a mop head, the cleaning component 3 can at least cover the width or length of the mop head, thus improving cleaning effect and efficiency while saving space. Alternatively, if the mop head's bristles are the working area, then the cleaning component 3 can at least cover the length or width of the bristles; that is, the width of the cleaning component 3 is greater than or equal to the bristles of the mop head. For another example, when the structure 6 to be cleaned is a brush, the cleaning component 3 can at least cover the brush bristles, in which case the width of the cleaning component 3 is greater than or equal to the width or length of the bristles. This arrangement can improve the cleaning efficiency of the structure 6 to be cleaned and prevent the formation of cleaning dead corners, thus improving the cleaning efficiency of the structure 6 to be cleaned.

[0069] In some embodiments, the opening 12 of the cleaning bucket is a strip-shaped opening, and the cleaning component 3 is positioned corresponding to the strip-shaped opening and is arranged along the length direction of the opening 12, such that when the mop head is inserted into the bucket body 1 through the opening 12, the mop head's wiping cloth abuts against the cleaning component 3, and the width of the mop head corresponds to the length of the opening 12 and the width of the cleaning component 3; that is, the length of the opening 12 allows the mop head to enter and exit the bucket body 1, and the two are in a clearance fit, while the length of the cleaning component 3 is greater than or equal to the width of the plush portion of the mop head.

[0070] Furthermore, the cleaning component 3 can be parallel to or at an angle to the length direction of the bucket opening. For example, if the bucket opening 12 extends horizontally, the cleaning component 3 can be set at an angle.

[0071] In this application, the position of the cleaning component 3 corresponding to the switch structure 2 means that the cleaning component 3 can drive the switch structure 2. For example, the cleaning component 3 can contact the switch structure 2 during the activity to apply force to the switch structure 2, that is, the switch structure 2 is located on the activity path of the cleaning component 3; or the cleaning component 3 is fixedly connected to the switch structure 2, detachably connected, in contact with each other or abutting against each other.

[0072] This application also discloses several embodiments in which the switch structure 2 is connected to the cleaning component 3; the switch structure 2 is movable or deformable, allowing the cleaning component 3 to be movable; and the switch structure 2 can open and close the outlet during the movement or deformation process. That is, when driving the cleaning component 3, the movement of the cleaning component 3 is achieved through the movement or deformation of the switch structure 2. This design further reduces redundant components, making the overall structure more compact; and improves the response sensitivity of the switch structure 2.

[0073] In this application, the connection between the switch structure 2 and the cleaning component 3 means that the two can be fixedly connected, detachably connected, or mutually abutting.

[0074] Furthermore, if the switch structure 2 moves or deforms relative to the outlet, the opening can be opened and closed. During the movement or deformation of the switch relative to the outlet, a gap is created between the switch structure 2 and the outlet, or the outlet is closed, thereby opening or closing the outlet.

[0075] In some embodiments, the initial state of the switch structure 2 is a closed opening. When the cleaning member 3 is driven to move, the cleaning member 3 can drive the switch structure 2 to move or deform to open the opening; or, the initial state of the switch structure 2 is an open opening. When the cleaning member 3 is driven to move, the cleaning member 3 can drive the switch structure 2 to deform or move to close the opening. Alternatively, during the activity of the cleaning member 3, the switch structure 2 may be driven to deform or move at a certain position to open the opening, and then moved to another position to drive the switch structure 2 to deform or move to close the opening.

[0076] In some embodiments, the switch structure 2 includes at least one of a flexible element and an elastic element, so that the switch structure 2 is deformable, thereby enabling the cleaning element 3 to move. That is, during the process of driving the cleaning element 3 to move, the cleaning element 3 can drive or drive the switch structure 2 to deform, so that the switch structure 2 opens and closes the outlet.

[0077] In some embodiments, the switch structure 2 is movable; the switch structure 2 can move in any way, such as sliding or rotating, as long as there is a change in displacement, and the switch structure 2 opens or closes the outlet through the change in displacement.

[0078] This application also discloses some embodiments. The switch structure 2 includes a plug 22 and a connecting pipe 21. The connecting pipe 21 is connected to an outlet, and liquid at the outlet can flow out through the connecting pipe 21. The plug 22 is used to plug or open the connecting pipe 21 to open or close the outlet.

[0079] In this embodiment, the sealing member 22 can be disposed inside the outlet, that is, it is located inside the liquid storage chamber 11 and can block the inside of the outlet; it can also move into the liquid storage chamber 11 to open the outlet. The sealing member 22 can also be disposed outside the liquid storage chamber 11, and can block the outside of the outlet; it can also move away from the liquid storage chamber 11 to open the outlet.

[0080] In this embodiment, the sealing element 22 has sealing performance: it can be a conical plug or a rubber plug adapted to the shape of the connecting pipe 21; the sealing element 22 may also include a sealing block; further, an elastic element such as a rubber element is provided on the sealing block; the rubber element can be sleeved on the sealing block, or it can be glued or otherwise fixed to the sealing plate; so that it can seal the outlet.

[0081] In some embodiments, the cleaning component 3 is connected to the connecting pipe 21, which is movable or deformable, allowing the cleaning component 3 to be movably positioned. During the movement or deformation of the connecting pipe 21, the outlet can be opened or closed. That is, when the cleaning component 3 is driven to move, the connecting pipe 21 can move or deform, creating a gap between the connecting pipe 21 and the sealing component 22, allowing liquid at the outlet to enter the connecting pipe 21 and flow out through it. This design is simple in structure, low in cost, and provides more accurate and timely actuation.

[0082] In some embodiments, the cleaning component 3 can be connected to the outer or inner wall of the connecting pipe 21. It can be disposed at the end of the connecting pipe 21 or on the outside of the connecting pipe 21, and can apply force to its sidewall to drive its deformation or movement.

[0083] In some embodiments, the connection between the connecting tube 21 and the cleaning component 3 can be a fixed connection, an abutment connection, or a detachable connection. For example, the cleaning component 3 can be sleeved outside or inside the connecting tube 21. In this case, the cleaning component 3 can be interference-fitted with the connecting tube 21, threaded connection, snap-fit, or adhesive connection. When the cleaning component 3 moves, it causes the connecting tube 21 to deform or move, creating a gap between the connecting tube 21 and the sealing component 22, thereby opening the outlet and allowing the liquid to flow out through the connecting tube 21.

[0084] In some embodiments, the connecting tube 21 includes either an elastic element or a flexible element; in this case, the connecting tube 21 is deformable, and the cleaning element 3 is disposed on the connecting tube 21. The cleaning element 3 can be fixedly connected to the connecting tube 21, abut against each other, or detachably connected. For example, the cleaning element 3 can be sleeved outside or inside the connecting tube 21. In this case, the cleaning element 3 can be connected to the connecting tube 21 by interference fit, threaded connection, snap-fit, or adhesive. When the cleaning element 3 moves, the connecting tube 21 deforms, creating a gap between the connecting tube 21 and the sealing element 22, thereby opening the outlet and allowing liquid to flow out through the connecting tube 21. In this embodiment, the sealing element 22 can be a rigid element that does not deform. Because the connecting tube 21 deforms, a gap is created between the sealing element 22 and the opening of the connecting tube 21, allowing liquid to flow out through the gap, i.e., opening the switch.

[0085] In some embodiments, the cleaning component 3 is connected to the sealing component 22, which is movable or deformable, allowing the cleaning component 3 to be movable; and the sealing component 22 can open or close the outlet during its movement or deformation. That is, when the cleaning component 3 is driven to move, the sealing component 22 can move or deform, creating a gap between the connecting pipe 21 and the sealing component 22, allowing liquid at the outlet to enter the connecting pipe 21 and flow out through the connecting pipe 21.

[0086] In some embodiments, the cleaning component 3 is connected to both the sealing component 22 and the connecting pipe 21. Both the sealing component 22 and the connecting pipe 21 are movable or deformable. The movement of the cleaning component 3 simultaneously drives the movement or deformation of both components, causing them to move or deform relative to each other, thereby opening or closing the outlet. For example, the cleaning component 3 can simultaneously drive the sealing component 22 and the connecting pipe 21 to move in opposite directions to open or close the outlet. Alternatively, the cleaning component 3 can simultaneously drive the sealing component 22 and the connecting pipe 21 to deform in different directions to open or close the outlet.

[0087] This application also discloses some embodiments in which a driving part 31 is provided on the cleaning component 3. The driving part 31 can apply force to the cleaning component 3 to drive the cleaning component 3 to move. The user can apply force to the driving part 31 with his / her hand, a tool or the structure 6 to be cleaned to drive the cleaning component 3 to move without contacting the cleaning component 3, thus preventing scratches or contamination by the cleaning component 3.

[0088] This application also discloses some embodiments. The cleaning component 3 includes a mounting structure 321, and a cleaning head 322 is provided on the outer surface of the mounting structure 321. The cleaning head 322 is used to clean the structure 6 to be cleaned. A guide rail 3211 is provided on the mounting structure 321, and a driving part 31 is movably disposed on the guide rail 3211. When the driving part 31 is located at one end of the guide rail 3211, the driving part 31 can drive the cleaning component 3 to move when it moves away from the other end of the guide rail 3211. The driving part 31 can only drive the cleaning component 3 to move when it moves to one end of the guide rail 3211 and continues to be driven. This can prevent accidental contact and allow the user to control the movement of the cleaning component 3 more accurately, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the switch more accurately. For example, in this embodiment, the user applies downward force to the driving part 31, causing it to move to the lower end of the guide rail 3211 first. Only when the user continues to drive the driving part 31 downward can it apply force to the cleaning component 3 to drive the switch structure 2 to open and close the outlet. Similarly, for upward driving, the driving unit 31 needs to be moved to the upper end of the guide rail 3211 before it can continue to drive upward to apply force to the cleaning component 3, thereby driving the switch structure to open and close the outlet. However, when the driving unit 31 is moving on the guide rail 3211, it will not apply force to the cleaning component 3, the cleaning component 3 will not move, and the switch structure will not open or close.

[0089] In some embodiments, when the drive unit 31 is at one end of the guide rail 3211, it is opposite to the bucket opening; when it is at the other end, it is located inside the bucket opening, i.e., misaligned with the bucket opening. When the structure 6 to be cleaned enters through the bucket opening, during its downward movement, the drive unit 31 is driven to move to the lower end of the guide rail 3211, continuing to apply force to the cleaning component 3, thereby deforming the switch structure 2 and opening the outlet. When the structure 6 to be cleaned moves upward, the drive unit 31 moves upward to the second end, where it cannot contact the cleaning component 3 and will not apply further force. In this embodiment, the downward movement of the structure 6 drives the cleaning component 3 downward to open the switch structure, allowing liquid to flow out. The upward movement of the structure 6 does not drive the cleaning component 3 or the switch, thus preventing liquid flow. This achieves the effect of intermittent liquid discharge, further conserving liquid.

[0090] In this application, the number of cleaning heads 322 is set to at least two, and each cleaning head 322 is arranged sequentially in a first direction, and each cleaning head 322 can at least cover the working area of ​​the structure 6 to be cleaned. The arrangement direction of each cleaning head 322 is the length direction of the cleaning head 322. The first direction can be consistent with the length direction of the strip-shaped barrel opening 12, which can make the drive more stable.

[0091] In some embodiments, the cleaning head 322 and the mounting structure 321 are connected by means of snap-fit, screw-fit, adhesive, or integral connection. Both the cleaning head 322 and the mounting structure 321 are rigid components, such as the cleaning head 322 being a scraper, steel brush, etc.; or only the mounting structure 321 is a rigid component, while the cleaning head 322 can be a flexible structure such as a brush or cotton head.

[0092] Combination Figure 4-6 As shown, this application also discloses some embodiments, wherein the mounting structure 321 includes an arc-shaped mounting plate; the guide rail 3211 extends along the arc-shaped extension direction of the arc-shaped mounting plate. The cleaning head 322 is disposed on the arc apex of the outer periphery of the arc-shaped mounting plate.

[0093] This application also discloses some embodiments in which an arc-shaped mounting plate is provided with an arc-shaped hole; the arc-shaped hole forms a guide rail 3211; a rotating structure 33 is rotatably disposed inside the arc-shaped mounting plate; one end of the drive unit 31 is connected to the rotating structure 33, and the other end extends out of the arc-shaped hole. This allows the drive unit 31 to move by rotation, reducing friction and making its movement lighter and smoother. The rotating structure 33 can be a rotating shaft, a ball bearing, or any other rotatable structure. In this application, the rotating structure 33 is located on the inner circumference of the arc-shaped mounting plate. The arc-shaped mounting plate is a U-shaped mounting plate.

[0094] Furthermore, the number of guide rails 3211 is set to at least one.

[0095] In some embodiments, the number of guide rails 3211 is set to two, and the two ends of the drive unit 31 are respectively movably disposed on the two guide rails 3211.

[0096] Furthermore, the drive unit 31 is provided with an anti-slip structure, which can be a concave-convex structure, such as strip-shaped protrusions, so that the structure 6 to be cleaned can effectively apply force to the drive unit 31.

[0097] Combination Figure 7-8 As shown, this application also discloses some embodiments in which the cleaning component 3 is rotatably disposed inside the barrel 1 via a rotating shaft 4. During rotation, the cleaning component 3 can drive the switch structure 2 to open and close the outlet. The structure is simple and the cost is low; moreover, during rotation, the cleaning component 3 can adjust the distance between itself and the structure to be cleaned 6, thereby adjusting the squeezing force between itself and the structure to be cleaned 6.

[0098] In some embodiments, the cleaning component 3, during rotation, can drive the switch structure 2 to move or deform, thereby opening or closing the outlet. The switch structure 2 is disposed on the rotation path of the cleaning component 3, or is connected to the cleaning component 3.

[0099] For example, the cleaning component 3 is connected to the switch structure 2. When the switch structure 2 is active, it can apply a pulling or pushing force to the switch structure 2, causing it to deform or move.

[0100] For example, when the "sliding switch," i.e., the blocking element 22, slides in a straight line: the driving element 5 forms an acute or obtuse angle with the cleaning element 3, and the tangent direction of its rotation trajectory can be converted into a linear driving force for the blocking element 22; such as Figure 7 As shown, during the rotation of the cleaning component 3, the driving component 5 can drive the sealing component 22 to move axially in the connecting pipe 21 to open and close the outlet.

[0101] For example, a "swing switch" is like the blocking component 22 swinging around an axis: the driving component 5 is at a right angle to the cleaning component 3, and its rotational motion can directly drive the blocking component 22 to swing synchronously; for example, the end of the driving component 5 is hinged to the blocking component 22, and when it rotates, it pulls the blocking component 22 to open or close.

[0102] This application also discloses some embodiments in which a driving member 5 is provided on the rotating shaft or cleaning component 3. The driving member 5 is used to drive the switch structure 2 to open and close the outlet. The extension directions of the driving member 5 and the cleaning component 3 form an angle. The driving member 5 is closer to the switch structure 2 than the cleaning component 3. The rotation of the cleaning component 3 can drive the driving member 5 to rotate, so that the driving member 5 can drive the switch structure 2 to open and close the outlet. This allows the cleaning component 3 to accurately drive the switch structure 2 without affecting the cleaning function of the cleaning component 3.

[0103] In some embodiments, the switch structure 2 includes a connecting pipe 21 and a sealing member 22. The first end of the connecting pipe 21 is connected to the outlet. The sealing member 22 is located inside the liquid storage chamber 11. A connecting rod is provided on the sealing member 22, which extends from the first end to the second end of the connecting pipe 21. A cleaning member 3 is provided at the second end of the connecting pipe 21. The cleaning member 3 moves closer to or away from the connecting rod during rotation. When the cleaning member 3 rotates towards the connecting rod, it can drive the connecting rod to move the sealing member 22 into the liquid storage chamber 11 to open the outlet, so that the liquid at the outlet can flow out through the connecting pipe 21.

[0104] In some embodiments, the switch structure 2 includes a connecting pipe 21 and a sealing member 22. The first end of the connecting pipe 21 is connected to an outlet; the sealing member 22 is located inside the liquid storage chamber 11; the shape of the sealing member 22 is adapted to the connecting pipe 21 so that the sealing member 22 can seal the connecting pipe 21. A rotating structure is disposed at the second end of the connecting pipe 21. When the rotating structure moves towards the connecting rod, it can drive the connecting pipe 21 to deform, creating a gap between the sealing member 22 and the connecting pipe 21, thereby opening the outlet. Alternatively, the rotating structure can also be disposed on one side of the connecting pipe 21. When the rotating structure moves towards the connecting rod, it can drive the opening of the connecting pipe 21 to deform, for example, the opening of the connecting pipe 21 changes from a circle to an ellipse, creating a gap between the sealing member 22 and the connecting pipe 21, thereby opening the outlet.

[0105] This application also discloses some embodiments in which the cleaning component 3 is driven to move when the structure to be cleaned 6 moves within the tank 1, thereby driving the switch structure 2 to open and close the outlet. This allows the outlet to be opened and closed when the structure to be cleaned 6 needs to be cleaned or rinsed; by having the cleaning component 3 be driven by the structure to be cleaned 6, the user does not need to operate by hand, thus avoiding hand contamination; it also avoids wasting liquid. If there is no structure to be cleaned 6 in the tank, the cleaning component 3 will not be driven, and the outlet will always be closed, completely preventing "empty liquid" and avoiding liquid waste. When the structure to be cleaned 6 stops moving, the cleaning component 3 immediately resets, and the outlet closes, preventing continuous liquid flow due to "the user forgetting to close it," which is especially suitable for scenarios involving precious cleaning agents.

[0106] In some embodiments, when the structure 6 to be cleaned is in motion within the tank 1, the cleaning component 3 cleans it and simultaneously drives the switching structure 2 to open and close the outlet, for example, continuously or intermittently opening the outlet, allowing liquid to flow into the tank 1 or onto the structure 6 to be cleaned. For example, the cleaning component 3 includes a mounting structure 321 and a cleaning head 322 on the mounting structure 321. The structure 6 to be cleaned can directly contact the cleaning head 322 and be driven to move by pushing or other means. At this time, while driving the cleaning component 3 to move, there is relative friction between the cleaning head 322 and the cleaning head 322, which can clean the structure 6 to be cleaned.

[0107] In some embodiments, when the structure 6 to be cleaned moves within the barrel 1, it only drives the cleaning component 3 to move to open and close the outlet; the cleaning component 3 does not clean it. For example, the cleaning component 3 includes a mounting structure 321 and a cleaning head 322 on the mounting structure 321. In this case, the structure 6 to be cleaned can drive the cleaning component 3 to move by applying force to other positions of the mounting structure 321 (non-cleaning head 322 positions), and the cleaning head 322 cannot clean it.

[0108] This application also discloses some embodiments in which the structure to be cleaned 6 moves within the barrel 1, the structure to be cleaned 6 can abut against the cleaning component 3 to drive the cleaning component 3 to move, and at the same time the cleaning component 3 can clean the structure to be cleaned 6; the direction of movement of the structure to be cleaned 6 is consistent with the direction of movement of the cleaning component 3; for example, when the structure to be cleaned 6 moves downward, it pushes the cleaning component 3 to move downward as well; when it moves upward, it also pushes the cleaning component 3 to move upward.

[0109] This application also discloses some embodiments in which the direction of movement of the structure to be cleaned 6 and the direction of movement of the cleaning component 3 are at an angle. For example, the cleaning component 3 is rotatably connected to the inside of the barrel 1, and its axis of rotation extends in the horizontal direction. When the structure to be cleaned 6 moves downward, it will push the cleaning component 3 to rotate. Its direction of movement is different from the direction of movement of the structure to be cleaned 6, that is, there is an angle between the two.

[0110] In some embodiments, the movement of the structure 6 to be cleaned can be linear, curvilinear, or irregular. The movement of the cleaning component 3 can also be linear, curvilinear, or irregular. For example, if a guide rail is provided inside the tank 1, and the cleaning component 3 moves on the guide rail, then the direction of movement of the cleaning component 3 is determined by the guide rail, which can be any shape such as a linear guide rail, a curvilinear guide rail, or an arc-shaped guide rail.

[0111] This application also discloses some embodiments in which the cleaning component 3 has an initial position and an active position; when the cleaning component 3 is in the initial position, the switch structure 2 closes the outlet; when the cleaning component 3 is in the active position, the switch structure 2 opens the outlet.

[0112] In some embodiments, when the structure 6 to be cleaned moves in the first direction and the second direction, it can apply force to the cleaning component 3, causing the cleaning component 3 to move from the initial position to the active position. The first and second directions can be arbitrary, meaning that the structure 6 to be cleaned can apply force to the cleaning component 3 in any direction, causing the cleaning component 3 to move from the initial position to the active position. In other words, as long as the structure 6 to be cleaned moves, the switch will open the outlet. In this embodiment, when the structure 6 to be cleaned continuously moves on the cleaning component 3, continuous cleaning and continuous liquid discharge can be achieved, allowing the cleaning component 3 to clean the structure 6 while simultaneously washing it with liquid, resulting in high cleaning efficiency and good cleaning effect. For example, as... Figure 3 As shown, when the structure 6 to be cleaned moves up and down inside the barrel 1, it can drive the cleaning component 3 to move, so that the connecting pipe 21 deforms, thereby driving the connection pipe 21 to create a gap between the sealing component 22, opening the outlet and allowing the liquid to flow out.

[0113] In some embodiments, the cleaning tank includes a recovery structure. The structure to be cleaned 6 moves in a first direction, applying force to the cleaning component 3 to drive it from an initial position to an active position. When the structure to be cleaned 6 moves in a second direction, the force applied to the cleaning component 3 is released, and the recovery structure drives the cleaning component 3 back to its initial position. The first and second directions can be arbitrary and different; they can be opposite or at an angle, such as the first direction being upward and the second direction being diagonally upward, diagonally downward, or downward. Alternatively, if the second direction is any direction other than the first, then only movement in the first direction can apply force to the cleaning component 3, causing it to move to the active position and opening the outlet. That is, liquid will only exit the outlet when the structure to be cleaned 6 moves in the first direction; movement in any other direction will not drive the cleaning component 3. Under the action of the recovery structure, the cleaning component 3 remains in its initial position, the outlet is closed, and no liquid will exit. When the structure to be cleaned 6 is clean but has absorbed a large amount of liquid, it can move in the second direction, allowing the cleaning component 3 to squeeze the structure to be cleaned, expelling the liquid. The recovery structure here can be the elasticity of the connecting pipe 21 and / or the sealing element 22 itself, or it can be an additional recovery structure, such as a spring.

[0114] In this embodiment, the opening and closing of the outlet is achieved by changing the direction of movement of the structure 6 to be cleaned. When the first and second directions are opposite, the structure 6 to be cleaned can achieve intermittent liquid discharge during its reciprocating motion. For example, downward movement of the structure 6 to be cleaned can drive the cleaning component 3 to its active position to open the outlet and allow liquid to flow out; upward movement closes the outlet. This can save liquid resources and reduce costs while ensuring cleaning effectiveness. When the structure 6 to be cleaned detaches from the cleaning tank, the return structure can drive the cleaning structure back to its initial position, at which point the outlet closes and no liquid flows out, further saving resources.

[0115] In some embodiments, the structure 6 to be cleaned moves in a first direction, applying force to the cleaning component 3 to drive it from an initial position to an active position; the structure 6 to be cleaned also moves in a second direction, applying force to the cleaning component 3 to drive it back to its initial position. Both the first and second directions can be arbitrary and different; they can be opposite directions or two directions at an angle, such as the first direction being upward and the second direction being diagonally upward, diagonally downward, or downward. In this embodiment, the opening and closing of the outlet is achieved by changing the direction of movement of the structure 6 to be cleaned. When the first and second directions are opposite, the structure 6 to be cleaned can achieve intermittent liquid discharge during its reciprocating motion; for example, downward movement of the structure 6 opens the outlet, and upward movement closes it. This can save liquid resources and reduce costs while ensuring cleaning effectiveness. When the structure 6 to be cleaned detaches from the cleaning tank, the return structure can drive it back to its initial position, at which point the outlet closes and no liquid is discharged, further saving resources.

[0116] This application also discloses some embodiments in which the first direction and the second direction are opposite; the first direction and the second direction can be two straight lines, such as upward and downward. The first direction and the second direction can also be arc-shaped, such as the first direction being counterclockwise and the second direction being clockwise.

[0117] This application also discloses some embodiments in which the barrel 1 has a barrel opening 12, and the structure 6 to be cleaned can enter and exit the barrel 1 through the barrel opening 12; the first direction is the direction of entering the barrel opening 12.

[0118] This application also discloses some embodiments, wherein the second direction is the direction of extending out of the barrel opening 12.

[0119] This application also discloses some embodiments in which the cleaning component 3 is provided with a liquid outlet, which is connected to the outlet. After the switch structure 2 opens the outlet, the liquid in the storage chamber 11 can flow through the outlet to the liquid outlet and then out through the liquid outlet. When the structure to be cleaned 6 moves on the cleaning component 3, the liquid flowing out of the liquid outlet can flow directly to the cleaning component 3, so the cleaning component 3 can simultaneously wet and scrape the structure to be cleaned 6, resulting in higher cleaning efficiency and better cleaning effect.

[0120] This application also discloses some embodiments in which a squeezing structure is provided inside the barrel 1. The squeezing structure is used to squeeze out water from the structure 6 to be cleaned. After cleaning the structure 6, the squeezing structure can squeeze the structure 6 dry. It is also possible to clean and squeeze out water simultaneously, further improving the cleaning effect and efficiency, and saving liquid. Furthermore, the squeezing structure includes a squeezing wheel or squeezing plate, etc., which have a squeezing function.

[0121] In this embodiment, when the barrel 1 has a barrel opening 12, the squeezing structure is close to the barrel opening 12 relative to the cleaning component 3; it can effectively squeeze out the liquid on the structure 6 to be cleaned.

[0122] In this embodiment, a scraping structure is also provided inside the barrel 1, and the scraping structure is far away from the barrel opening 12 relative to the cleaning component 3.

[0123] This application also discloses some embodiments, in which the cleaning component 3 includes a scraping component.

[0124] This application also discloses some embodiments, in which the structure to be cleaned, 6, is a mop.

[0125] This application also discloses some embodiments in which the cleaning component 3 includes at least one or more combinations of a scraper and comb teeth.
