Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a mop assembly, and more particularly to a flat mop assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Maintaining a clean environment is a fundamental requirement for preventing the spread of disease, and floor cleaning is particularly important. When floors accumulate dirt (such as hair or dust) over a long period, it not only affects the aesthetics of the environment but can also become a breeding ground for bacteria and allergens, threatening people's health and quality of life. Therefore, users typically use cleaning tools such as brooms or mops for daily floor cleaning.

[0003] A typical flat mop assembly includes a mop board, a handle, and a mop head. The mop head is attached to the mop board, either fixedly or detachably, to remove dirt from floor surfaces. However, when the mop head becomes heavily soiled after use, it is difficult to completely remove the dirt even after washing or rubbing. This dirt not only reduces the mop head's cleaning effectiveness, preventing it from effectively absorbing new dirt, but may even cause secondary contamination, bringing the original dirt back to the cleaned area.

[0004] In addition, when cleaning the mop, users often need to directly touch the dirt on the surface of the mop with their hands, which is not only unhygienic but also increases the inconvenience of use. Utility Model Content

[0005] Given that in existing technologies, even after washing or rubbing, it is difficult to completely remove dirt from mop heads, and that users often need to directly touch the dirt on the mop surface with their hands when cleaning, which is not only unhygienic but also increases the inconvenience of use, the main objective of this invention is to provide a flat mop assembly that features a receiving groove on the mop board and a detachably fixed scraper with teeth. After cleaning with the mop, the scraper can effectively remove dirt adhering to the object being cleaned using its teeth, thereby solving the problems described in the prior art.

[0042] Since the flat mop assembly provided by this utility model can be widely used in different types of flat mops, its combinations and variations are countless. Here, only one preferred embodiment is given for specific explanation.

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the flat mop assembly of a preferred embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a perspective view of the rotating handle of the flat mop assembly according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 To show an exploded perspective view of the flat mop assembly of a preferred embodiment of the present invention; and Figure 4 This is a three-dimensional exploded view of the flat mop assembly of the preferred embodiment of the present invention from another perspective.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a flat mop assembly 100 includes a mop body 1, a mop cloth 2, a scraper 3, multiple adhesive parts 4 (only one is shown), and a squeegee 5.

[0045] The mop body 1 includes a mop plate 11, two engaging parts 12, and a handle 13. The mop plate 11 has an operating side S1 and a cleaning side S2. A receiving groove G1 is formed on the operating side S1, and multiple recesses G2 (only one is shown) are formed on the cleaning side S2. In order to maintain lightness while strengthening the overall structural strength, multiple support ribs 111 (only one is shown) are formed in the receiving groove G1. In addition, a semi-open sliding channel C is formed between the operating side S1 and the cleaning side S2, and a sliding notch N communicating with the receiving groove G1 is formed adjacent to the receiving groove G1.

[0046] The engaging portions 12 protrude from the mop plate 11 toward the receiving groove G1, facing each other. In this embodiment, the engaging portions 12 are integrally formed and connected to the mop plate 11, but this is not a limitation.

[0047] The handle 13 is pivotally connected to the mop plate 11 on the operating side S1. In this embodiment, the handle 13 can be temporarily positioned during rotation so that its extension direction is horizontal to the extension direction of the mop plate 11 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 (as shown), or perpendicular to the extension direction of the mop board 11 (as shown). Figure 2 As shown), this is to cope with different operating scenarios (for example, when the extension direction of the handle 13 is horizontal to the extension direction of the mop board 11, it can be used to perform a cleaning job in a narrow place, or to reduce the space occupied for storage). Since there are many feasible solutions for the specific pivot structure, which are not advocated by this utility model, they will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0048] The mop 2 is detachably fixed to the cleaning side S2 for cleaning an object to be cleaned (typically a flat surface such as a floor, table, or window). The mop 2 is secured to the groove G2 via an adhesive element 4, allowing it to be detachably fixed to the cleaning side S2. In this embodiment, the adhesive element 4 is Velcro, but it is not a limitation thereof.

[0049] The scraper 3 is detachably pressed into the receiving groove G1 by elastic deformation of at least one of the scraper 3 and the engaging part 12, and is locked in place by the engaging part 12 after being pressed into the receiving groove G1. In this embodiment, both the mop body 1 and the scraper 3 are made of plastic and are elastic, but this is not a limitation. In this embodiment, since a support rib 111 is formed in the receiving groove G1, after the scraper 3 is pressed into the receiving groove G1, the scraper 3 contacts and is fixed by contact with the support rib 111 and the engaging part 12 respectively.

[0050] Structurally, the scraper 3 includes a main body 31 and two wings 32 (only one is shown). The wings 32 extend from the main body 31 by bending, giving the scraper 3 a slightly curved bow shape to increase its elasticity. In addition, the wings 32 have multiple scraping teeth 321 at their edges and are engaged and fixed by the engaging part 12.

[0051] After cleaning with the mop 2, the squeegee 3 is used to scrape off dirt (usually hair, dust, etc.) adhering to the object to be cleaned using the scraping teeth 321. To achieve more functions than just mopping, the squeegee 5 is detachably installed in the sliding channel C to scrape off residual liquid (such as water) on the object to be cleaned.

[0052] Please see Figures 5 to 8 , Figure 5 This is a perspective view showing the scraper being removed in a preferred embodiment of the present invention; Figure 6 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram showing the process before the scraper teeth remove dirt in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 To show a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the preferred embodiment of this utility model after the dirt has been scraped off using the scraping teeth; and Figure 8 This is a perspective view showing the scraper being pressed into the receiving groove in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to the accompanying diagram. Figures 1 to 4 .

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, after cleaning, the user only needs to move the scraper 3 from the receiving groove G1 by moving the notch N and moving the scraper 3 in a moving direction D1. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, after removing the scraper 3, the scraper teeth 321 on the scraper 3 can be used to scrape off the dirt adhering to the object to be cleaned. Figure 8As shown, after scraping is completed, simply place the scraper 3 (wing 32) against one of the engaging parts 12, and then press the scraper 3 into the receiving groove G1 along a pressing direction D2, so that the scraper 3 is engaged by the engaging part 12 and the scraper is stored.

[0054] In summary, the flat mop assembly 100 provided by this utility model solves the problems described in the prior art by providing a receiving groove G1 on the mop plate 11 and detachably fixing a scraper 3 with scraping teeth 321. After cleaning with the mop 2, the scraper 3 can effectively scrape off the dirt adhering to the object to be cleaned by using the scraping teeth 321.
