A sponge mop

Abstract

This utility model discloses a sponge mop, including a mop handle and a mop head. The mop handle is a telescopic handle, and a sponge head is rotatably connected inside the mop head. A wringer is fixedly connected to the mop handle, and a wringer ring is fixedly connected inside the wringer. The inner diameter of the wringer ring gradually decreases from bottom to top. When it is necessary to wring water from the sponge head, the sponge head rotates and becomes parallel to the mop handle. When wringing water, the mop handle shortens and the sponge head is located inside the wringer. Therefore, when wringing water from the mop head, the mop head is rotated so that one end of the mop head is aligned with the wringer, and then the mop handle is shortened so that the sponge head gradually enters the water collection part. At this time, as the inner diameter of the water collection part gradually decreases, the water inside the sponge is gradually squeezed out. Since the squeezed water is columnar, it is easy to level the drain outlet when wringing water, thereby effectively reducing the possibility of water falling on the ground when wringing water.

Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A mop is a long-handled cleaning tool consisting of a handle and a head, primarily used for scrubbing floors. Its predecessor was a rag; the addition of a long handle significantly improved cleaning efficiency, leading to its development into an independent tool. Traditional mops were made by binding a wooden handle with strips of cloth, resulting in a simple and inexpensive structure.

[0003] For example, the sponge mop with publication number CN2778187Y includes a long rod, a squeezer fixed to one end of the long rod, a sponge, and a connecting rod device; wherein, the squeezer includes two parallel rollers spaced at a predetermined distance, each roller includes a shaft and several cylinders sleeved on the shaft, and several planes extending from one end of the cylinder to the other end are evenly distributed on the outer peripheral wall of each cylinder; the connecting rod device includes a handle and at least one connecting rod that connects the handle and the sponge respectively.

[0004] When wringing out water, the above mop uses a pull handle to squeeze the sponge head, thus squeezing out the water. However, because the drain is round and the sponge head is long, the squeezed water also comes out in long strips. Most of the water spills onto the base plate during wringing, and only a small amount enters the drain. This means that after wringing out the water, the water still needs to be mopped off the base plate, which is quite troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a sponge mop that produces a columnar shape from the water squeezed out of the sponge head.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a sponge mop, characterized in that it includes a mop handle and a mop head fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mop handle. The mop handle is a telescopic handle. A sponge head is rotatably connected inside the mop head. A wringer is fixedly connected to the mop handle. A wringer ring is fixedly connected inside the wringer. The inner diameter of the wringer ring gradually decreases from bottom to top. When it is necessary to wring water from the sponge head, the sponge head rotates and is parallel to the mop handle. When wringing water, the mop handle shortens and the sponge head is located inside the wringer.

[0007] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: the sponge head includes a movable part and a sponge part fixedly connected to the movable part. The length of the movable part is greater than the length of the sponge part. An installation groove is provided inside the mop head, and the movable part can rotate and slide within the installation groove.

[0008] A further preferred technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a central shaft is fixedly connected in the mounting groove, and a strip groove is provided on the movable part to facilitate the sliding and rotation of the central shaft. Before squeezing out water, the central shaft is slid and the sponge head is rotated.

[0009] A further preferred technical solution of this utility model is: a fixed groove communicating with the strip groove is provided on one side wall of the strip groove at the midpoint of the movable part. When the central axis is located in the fixed groove, the sliding range of the movable part along the strip groove is limited.

[0010] A further preferred technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a slot is provided on the inner side wall of the fixing groove, and a locking block that can engage with the slot is integrally formed on the central shaft. When the locking block is engaged in the slot, the central shaft is fixed.

[0011] A further preferred embodiment of this invention is that the depth of the mounting groove is greater than the height of the movable part, and when the central shaft is located in the strip groove, there is a gap between the mounting groove and the movable part.

[0012] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: the squeezing ring has an opening to facilitate the passage of the movable part, and when the sponge is located inside the squeezing bucket, the movable part is located at the opening.

[0013] A further preferred technical solution of this utility model is: a groove is provided on the top surface of the squeezing bucket to facilitate the insertion of one end of the water-collecting component. When one end of the movable component is inserted into the groove, the sponge component is located inside the squeezing bucket and the water is squeezed out.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model includes a mop handle and a mop head. The mop handle is a telescopic handle, and a sponge head is rotatably connected inside the mop head. A wringer is fixedly connected to the mop handle, and a wringer ring is fixedly connected inside the wringer. The inner diameter of the wringer ring gradually decreases from bottom to top. When it is necessary to wring water from the sponge head, the sponge head rotates and becomes parallel to the mop handle. When wringing water, the mop handle shortens and the sponge head is located inside the wringer. Therefore, when wringing water from the mop head, the mop head is rotated so that one end of the mop head is aligned with the wringer, and then the mop handle is shortened so that the sponge head gradually enters the water collection part. At this time, as the inner diameter of the water collection part gradually decreases, the water inside the sponge is gradually squeezed out. Since the squeezed water is columnar, it is easy to level the drain outlet when wringing water, thereby effectively reducing the possibility of water falling on the ground when wringing water.

[0018] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0020] Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a sponge mop includes a mop handle 1 and a mop head 2 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mop handle 1. The mop handle 1 is a telescopic handle, which is a commonly used telescopic handle for existing mops. It can be adjusted according to the user's height, so that the mop is suitable for different people.

[0021] Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a sponge head 3 is rotatably connected inside the mop head 2. The sponge head 3 includes a movable part 302 and a sponge part 301 fixedly connected to the movable part 302. The length of the movable part 302 is greater than the length of the sponge part 301. An installation groove 13 is provided inside the mop head 2, and the movable part 302 can rotate and slide within the installation groove 13.

[0022] Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, by setting a rotatable and sliding sponge head 3, the position of the sponge head 3 can be adjusted when mopping the floor in places with corners or under beds and sofas. This makes it easier for the mop to clean the floor in these places. This design makes the mop more convenient to use, and the mounting groove 13 provides space for adjusting the sponge head 3, which facilitates the adjustment of the sponge head 3.

[0023] Figures 2-6 As shown, a central shaft 6 is fixedly connected in the mounting groove 13, and a strip groove 4 is provided on the movable part 302 to facilitate the sliding and rotation of the central shaft 6. Before squeezing out water, the central shaft 6 is slid and the sponge head 3 is rotated.

[0024] Figures 2-6 As shown, the central shaft 6 and the strip groove 4 are set so that before cleaning the bottom surface of the bed or sofa, the central rod can be slid to extend the sponge head 3, making it easier to clean deeper areas of the floor. Figures 2-6 As shown, when it is necessary to wring out water, slide the sponge head 3 and rotate the sponge head 3 upward so that the sponge head 3 is parallel to the mop handle 1. At this time, the squeezed water is in columnar shape, which can more accurately fall into the drain, thereby reducing the possibility of falling on the ground and avoiding repeated mopping.

[0025] Figures 2-6 As shown, a fixed groove 7 communicating with the strip groove 4 is provided on one side wall at the midpoint of the movable part 302. When the central shaft 6 is located in the fixed groove 7, the sliding range of the movable part 302 along the strip groove 4 is limited.

[0026] Figures 2-6 As shown, when mopping normally, the central shaft 6 is pressed into the fixing groove 7. At this time, the lateral sliding range of the central shaft 6 is limited, thereby effectively preventing the sponge head 3 from sliding left and right during normal mopping and affecting the mopping process. This design plays the role of limiting the left and right sliding range of the sponge head 3.

[0027] Figures 2-6 As shown, a slot 8 is provided on the inner side wall of the fixing groove 7, and a locking block 9 is integrally formed on the central shaft 6 that can engage with the slot 8. When the locking block 9 is engaged in the slot 8, the central shaft 6 is fixed.

[0028] Figures 2-6 As shown, when the central shaft 6 is pressed into the fixing groove 7, the locking block 9 is locked into the locking groove 8, thereby fixing the central shaft 6 in the fixing groove 7, effectively preventing the mop head 2 from rotating during normal mopping, thus affecting the mopping process. This design further serves to fix the sponge head 3.

[0029] Figures 2-6 As shown, the depth of the mounting groove 13 is greater than the height of the movable part 302. When the central shaft 6 is located in the strip groove 4, there is a gap between the mounting groove 13 and the movable part 302.

[0030] Figures 2-6 As shown, this design provides space for the adjustment of the mop head 2, preventing the mop head 2 from colliding with the inner wall of the mounting groove 13 during sliding or rotating, thus affecting the smoothness of the adjustment.

[0031] Figures 2-6 As shown, a wringer 5 is fixedly connected to the mop handle 1, and a wringer ring 10 is fixedly connected inside the wringer 5. The inner diameter of the wringer ring 10 gradually decreases from bottom to top. When it is necessary to wring water out of the sponge head 3, the sponge head 3 rotates and is parallel to the mop handle 1. When wringing water out, the mop handle 1 shortens and the sponge head 3 is located inside the wringer 5.

[0032] Figures 2-6 As shown, when water needs to be squeezed out, step on the movable part 302 with your foot and pull the mop handle 1 upward. At this time, due to the force, the central shaft 6 separates from the fixed groove 7 and enters the strip groove 4, and the locking block 9 also separates from the locking groove 8. Then push the sponge part 301 to slide towards the side closer to the squeezing bucket 5. At this time, the central shaft 6 slides in the strip groove 4 until the central shaft 6 and the side wall of the strip groove 4 away from the fixed groove 7 form an abutment. Further rotate the sponge part 301 so that the end of the sponge part 301 close to the squeezing bucket 5 is opposite to the squeezing ring 10. At the same time, the sponge part 301 is parallel to the mop handle 1. Finally, adjust the length of the mop handle 1. As the length of the mop handle 1 is adjusted, the sponge part 301 gradually enters the water collection part, and as the sponge part 301 goes deeper, the inner diameter of the squeezing ring 10 gradually decreases, thereby gradually squeezing out the water in the sponge part 301, thus completing the squeezing of the sponge part 301. Figures 2-6 As shown, the water from the squeezing ring 10 is in a columnar shape, which allows it to fall more accurately into the round drain outlet for discharge. This improves the convenience of wastewater discharge, reduces the possibility of wastewater falling on the ground, and further reduces the possibility of the mop repeatedly removing wastewater from the ground, thus improving the ease of using the mop.

[0033] Figures 2-6As shown, the squeezing ring 10 has an opening 11 to facilitate the passage of the movable part 302. When the sponge part 301 is inside the squeezing barrel 5, the movable part 302 is located at the opening 11. This design allows the movable part 302 to enter easily during squeezing, effectively preventing the movable part 302 from affecting the squeezing process.

[0034] Figures 2-6 As shown, a groove 12 is provided on the top surface of the wringer 5 to facilitate the insertion of one end of the water-collecting component. When one end of the movable component 302 is inserted into the groove 12, the sponge component 301 is located inside the wringer 5 and the water is squeezed out. This design can fix the sponge head 3 inside the wringer 5 after it is fully inserted into the wringer 5, thus facilitating the storage and placement of the mop.
