Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of clothing cleaning devices, and in particular relates to a clothes brush. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, cleaning clothing or shoes often involves a combination of brushes and cleaning agents. Taking a shoe cleaner disclosed in application number 202321802508.4 as an example, the device includes an integrated cleaning body and a press valve structure. The integrated cleaning body has a liquid storage chamber, with a liquid outlet and multiple sets of brushes arranged at one end. The liquid outlet is connected to the liquid storage chamber. The press valve includes a valve body, a valve stem, and an elastic support. The valve stem consists of a first valve stem, a second valve stem, and an elastic support connecting the two. The diameter of the first valve stem is smaller than that of the second through hole, while the diameter of the second valve stem is larger than that of the second through hole. During the cleaning process, the first and second valve stems are compressed by external force, causing the elastic support to deform and the valve stem to retract inward. The second valve stem then disengages from the second through hole, thereby releasing the cleaning liquid.
[0003] However, this type of shoe polisher structure suffers from insufficient sealing: it relies solely on the contact between the end face of the second valve stem and the inlet of the second through hole to achieve a seal, which easily leads to cleaning fluid leakage. Simultaneously, the elastic force provided by the elastic support is generally insufficient, and excessive deformation can affect the reliability of the seal. These problems are particularly pronounced when used on highly absorbent fabrics such as down jackets—the cleaning fluid is prone to localized excessive seepage, which is quickly absorbed by the down jacket or other clothing fabrics, causing dilution of the cleaning agent and reduced cleaning effectiveness, ultimately increasing the difficulty of cleaning. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a clothes brush with better sealing performance is provided, which can also prevent excessive overflow of cleaning fluid.
[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a clothes brush, comprising:
[0006] The wiping body includes a bristle-embedding seat and a liquid storage seat assembled with the bristle-embedding seat. The two are hollow and are spliced together to form a liquid storage cavity inside the wiping body. A sealing structure is provided at the splice of the bristle-embedding seat and the liquid storage seat to seal the liquid storage cavity.
[0007] A liquid outlet valve is disposed on the tufting seat, and the liquid outlet valve includes:
[0008] The valve body is fixedly connected to the hair-embedding seat. The valve body is provided with a liquid outlet chamber that communicates with the liquid storage chamber. The valve body is also provided with a valve hole for liquid to flow out to the outside of the wiper body. The valve hole is conical.
[0009] A movable valve head is disposed in the liquid outlet chamber. The movable valve head includes a sealing section that mates with the valve hole. The outer diameter of the sealing section gradually increases from the inside to the outside to form a conical surface that matches the valve hole.
[0010] A spring, located in the liquid outlet chamber, is used to apply a preload force to the movable valve head, so that the sealing section normally closes the valve orifice.
[0011] A sponge is fitted over the outer side of the head of the movable valve head that extends out of the wiping body.
[0012] The discharge valve in this design uses a tapered valve orifice that mates with a movable valve head having a matching sealing section, and the valve orifice is normally closed under the action of spring preload. This design provides excellent sealing performance, effectively avoiding the liquid leakage, evaporation, or blockage problems commonly found in traditional open-hole orifice or simple plug-cap structures, ensuring the product's sealing performance and transport safety when not in use. Furthermore, the use of a spring in this design provides more stable elastic force, allowing the sealing section of the valve body to promptly plug the valve orifice, thereby preventing excessive overflow of cleaning fluid.
[0013] The sealing structure at the joint between the tufted seat and the liquid reservoir can be a sealing ring, or it can be achieved by using the material's own ribs or by ultrasonic methods.
[0014] Preferably, the circumferential outer wall at the bottom of the movable valve head contacts and slides with the circumferential inner wall of the liquid outlet chamber, and the movable valve head itself is provided with several axially penetrating clearance grooves for the cleaning fluid to flow through.
[0015] The above settings make the movable valve head more stable when it moves axially, avoiding jamming, and also ensuring that the cleaning fluid can flow out evenly.
[0016] Preferably, the liquid outlet chamber is provided with a contact structure that abuts against the movable valve head extending outward to its limit position.
[0017] By setting an abutment structure, the movable valve head can be prevented from continuously extending outward under the action of the elastic element, which would cause the sealing section to jam with the valve hole, making it difficult for the movable valve head to retract when pressed on clothing.
[0018] Preferably, the bottom of the movable valve head is provided with an axially extending limiting protrusion, and the bottom of the valve body is fixed with an abutment block; one end of the spring is sleeved on the limiting protrusion, the abutment block abuts against the other end of the spring, and the abutment block is provided with a through hole to realize the connection between the liquid outlet chamber and the liquid storage chamber.
[0019] The spring is generally shaped like a frustum, and its diameter gradually decreases from the abutment block side to the limiting protrusion side.
[0020] The above settings ensure that the spring will not shift during elastic extension and contraction, guaranteeing stable force on the movable valve head during extension and contraction. To facilitate the flow of cleaning fluid into the valve body, the size of the through hole is usually larger than the size of the valve hole, and therefore the size of the through hole is usually larger than the size of the movable valve head. Therefore, the spring is shaped like a frustum, and its diameter gradually decreases from the abutment block side to the limiting protrusion side, thus accommodating the sizes of the through hole and the limiting protrusion.
[0021] Preferably, the valve body has a through inlet hole on the side wall inside the liquid storage chamber.
[0022] By providing an inlet hole on the side wall of the valve body, it is easier for the cleaning fluid to flow into the valve body.
[0023] Preferably, the wiping body is provided with an inner and outer through mounting groove, the valve body is fixedly installed in the mounting groove, and a sealing ring and / or mutually cooperating sealing ribs are provided between the outer wall of the valve body and the inner wall of the mounting groove.
[0024] The above settings ensure a tight seal between the valve body and the wiping body, preventing cleaning fluid from overflowing.
[0025] Preferably, both the hair-embedding seat and the liquid storage seat are provided with grooves with opposite openings, and the grooves of the two together enclose the liquid storage cavity. The hair-embedding seat closes the liquid storage cavity, and the sealing structure is a sealing ring or sealing rib provided at the joint of the two.
[0026] By providing grooves with relatively open openings in both the hair-implanting seat and the liquid storage seat, the volume of the liquid storage chamber can be maximized.
[0027] Preferably, the bristles are soft bristles.
[0028] Soft bristles are more suitable for scrubbing down jackets and other clothing.
[0029] Preferably, the soft bristles are tapered.
[0030] Preferably, the end of the wiping body with bristles is fitted with a wiping cap, and the wiping cap is detachably fixed to the wiping body.
[0031] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: The liquid outlet valve of this design uses a conical valve orifice that mates with a movable valve head having a matching sealing section, and the valve orifice is normally closed under the action of spring preload. This design provides excellent sealing performance, effectively avoiding the liquid leakage, evaporation, or blockage problems commonly found in traditional open liquid orifice or simple plug structures, ensuring the product's sealing performance and portability when not in use. Furthermore, the liquid storage chamber in this design is constructed by splicing a tufted base and a liquid storage base, allowing for a larger volume of the storage chamber. Additionally, the use of a spring in this design provides more stable elastic force, ensuring that the sealing section of the valve body promptly plugs the valve orifice, thereby preventing excessive overflow of cleaning fluid.

[0041] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0042] like Figures 1 to 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment discloses a clothes brush, which includes a brush body 1 and a brush cover 2 that cooperates with the brush body 1. One end face of the brush body 1 is provided with bristles 3 and a sponge 4. The brush cover 2 covers the end of the brush body 1 with bristles 3 and sponge 4. The brush cover 2 and the brush body 1 are detachably fixed, which can be done by magnetic attraction, snap-on fixation, etc.
[0043] The cleaning body 1 is assembled from a bristle-embedded base 12 and a liquid reservoir 11. Both the liquid reservoir 11 and the bristle-embedded base 12 have grooves with opposing openings. The grooves of the two together enclose a liquid reservoir 111 for holding the cleaning fluid. After the bristle-embedded base 12 is fixed to the liquid reservoir 11, the liquid reservoir 111 can be sealed. The two are fixed by a snap-fit rib 62 between the outer wall of the bristle-embedded base 12 and the inner wall of the liquid reservoir 11. The two are fixed by snap-fit. An annular groove that can accommodate a sealing ring 61 is provided at the fixing point. The sealing ring 61 is placed in the annular groove to achieve the sealing function. Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the bristle-embedded base 12 and the liquid reservoir 11 are sealed by the sealing ribs of the material itself or by ultrasonic sealing.
[0044] The tufting base 12 is equipped with soft bristles for brushing clothes; these bristles are tapered. A through-groove mounting groove is located at the center of the tufting base 12, within which a liquid outlet valve 5 is fixed. The liquid outlet valve 5 includes a valve body 52 and a movable valve head 51. The outer wall of the valve body 52 has several annular sealing ribs 7 spaced apart axially and protruding outwards. The inner wall of the mounting groove has an annular groove that matches the sealing ribs 7. Alternatively, the sealing ribs 7 can be sealed using sealing rings.
[0045] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the valve body 52 has a liquid outlet chamber 522 communicating with the liquid storage chamber 111. The outer axial end of the valve body 52 has a valve hole for liquid to flow out to the outside of the wiper body 1. The inner axial end of the valve body 52 is fitted with an abutment block 53, which is inserted and fixedly engaged with the inner axial end of the valve body 52. A through hole 531 is provided at the center of the abutment block 53, allowing the liquid outlet chamber 522 to communicate with the liquid storage chamber 111. A through inlet hole 71 is provided on the side wall of the valve body 52 located within the liquid storage chamber 111, allowing the liquid outlet chamber 522 to communicate with the liquid storage chamber 111.
[0046] The liquid outlet chamber 522 is fitted with a movable valve head 51. The lower end of the movable valve head 51 is circular and plate-shaped. The outer wall of the lower end of the movable valve head 51 contacts and slides against the inner wall of the liquid outlet chamber 522. A spring 6 is provided between the lower end of the movable valve head 51 and the abutment block 53. The two ends of the spring 6 abut against the lower end of the movable valve head 51 and the abutment block 53 respectively, thereby applying an outward elastic preload force to the movable valve head 51. The bottom of the movable valve head 51 is also provided with three axially downward extending limiting protrusions 513. One end of the spring 6 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting protrusions 513. The spring 6 is frustoconical, and its diameter gradually decreases from the abutment block 53 side to the limiting protrusions 513 side.
[0047] The valve body 52 has a tapered valve orifice. The movable valve head 51 has a sealing section 512 that mates with the valve orifice. The outer diameter of the sealing section 512 gradually increases from the inside to the outside to form a tapered surface that matches the valve orifice. When the movable valve head 51 extends outward, the sealing section 512 blocks the valve orifice, thus achieving a seal and preventing the cleaning fluid from flowing out of the valve orifice. The head of the movable valve head 51 is an extension section 511, which is always located on the outside of the wiping body 1. The diameter of the extension section 511 is smaller than the minimum diameter of the sealing section 512. The sponge 4 is fitted onto the extension section 511.
[0048] The diameter of the bottom of the movable valve head 51 is larger than the diameter of the sealing section 512. The area of the outlet chamber 522 near the valve hole is provided with an abutment structure 521 for abutting the bottom of the movable valve head 51, thereby limiting the extreme position of the movable valve head 51's outward movement. In this embodiment, the abutment structure 521 is stepped. The bottom of the movable valve head 51 is also provided with a through-hole relief groove 514 to allow the cleaning fluid to flow through.
