Abstract

This invention provides a flat mop device with visible water level, including a flat mop and a mop bucket. The mop bucket includes a detachably connected upper bucket and a lower bucket. One side of the upper bucket forms a cleaning zone, while the other side has a clean water zone separated from the cleaning zone. The flat mop enters the cleaning zone downwards, and the wastewater generated in the cleaning zone flows downwards into the lower bucket. The lower bucket has a frame below the cleaning zone, which prevents water from the lower bucket from entering the cleaning zone. The upper bucket is made of a transparent material, allowing the remaining water level in the clean water zone to be observed from its side wall. This invention has the advantages of a separately transparent clean water zone, making the clean water level visible; and the detachable connection between the upper and lower buckets eliminates the need to move the entire mop bucket when adding or draining water. The upper bucket can be moved separately to add clean water, and the lower bucket can be moved separately to empty wastewater, making adding and draining water more convenient.

Claims

1. A flat mop device with visible water volume, comprising a flat mop and a mop bucket, wherein, The mop bucket includes a detachably connected upper bucket and a lower bucket. One side of the upper bucket forms a cleaning zone running vertically through it, and the other side has a clean water zone separated from the cleaning zone. The flat mop enters the cleaning zone downwards, and the clean water zone sprays water into the cleaning zone through a pumping device for the flat mop to use for cleaning. The wastewater generated in the cleaning zone flows downwards into the lower bucket. The lower bucket has a frame below the cleaning zone, which prevents water from the lower bucket from entering the cleaning zone. The upper bucket is made of transparent material so that the remaining water in the clean water zone can be observed from the side wall of the upper bucket.

2. The water volume-visible flat mop device as described in claim 1, wherein, The upper bucket is provided with a first bucket lid, and the first bucket lid is provided with a cleaning port and a water inlet at the positions corresponding to the cleaning area and the clean water area, respectively. A squeezing device is provided at the cleaning port away from the clean water area and the water inlet. The flat mop enters the cleaning area and cooperates with the squeezing device to clean or squeeze dry.

3. The water volume-visible flat mop device as described in claim 2, wherein, The enclosure divides the lower tank into a first sewage zone and a second sewage zone, and a water passage is provided between the enclosure and the lower tank. Sewage generated in the cleaning zone flows downward into the first sewage zone, and sewage in the first sewage zone flows into the second sewage zone through the water passage to achieve liquid level balance between the first sewage zone and the second sewage zone.

4. The water volume-visible flat mop device as described in claim 3, wherein, The lower bucket has a support ring inside its opening, and the support ring has a first step and a second step. The bottom of the upper bucket has a third step and a fourth step, and the third step and the fourth step are respectively supported on the first step and the second step.

5. The water volume-visible flat mop device as described in claim 4, wherein, The support ring extends inward to form a second barrel cover. The second barrel cover has a water inlet below the extrusion device. The frame is fixed on the second barrel cover and can be removed from the lower barrel along with the support ring / second barrel cover.

6. The water volume-visible flat mop device as described in claim 5, wherein, The second bucket lid is also provided with an installation port, in which a buoy is provided. The buoy moves up and down with the water level in the lower bucket. When the water level in the lower bucket reaches the preset storage volume, the buoy extends out of the installation port, and the position information of the buoy can be observed through the side wall and bottom wall of the upper bucket.

7. A flat mop device with visible water volume as described in claim 5 or 6, wherein, A disassembly switch is provided between the upper bucket and the lower bucket or the support ring. The upper end of the disassembly switch is rotatably connected to the lower end of the upper bucket, and the lower end of the disassembly switch is fastened to the lower bucket or the support ring to realize the fixing and disassembly separation of the upper bucket and the lower bucket.

8. The water volume-visible flat mop device as described in claim 7, wherein, The upper bucket is provided with a support column at its lower end. The support column abuts against the support ring or the second bucket lid. When the upper bucket and the lower bucket are disassembled, the support column will stably support the upper bucket on the ground.

9. The water volume-visible flat mop device as described in claim 8, wherein, The water pumping device includes a water pump, a water pumping gear, a water pumping wheel, and a spray head. The water pumping gear is located between the cleaning area and the clean water area. The water pumping wheel is movably connected to a water pumping linkage at an eccentric position. The other end of the water pumping linkage is movably connected to the water pump core of the water pump. The mop head of the flat mop has a first rack along its length. When the mop head passes through the cleaning port, the first rack can mesh with the water pumping gear. The up and down movement of the mop head can drive the water pump to pump water through the water pumping gear, the water pumping wheel, and the water pumping linkage. The spray head is located in a different direction from the water pumping gear at the cleaning port. The spray head is connected to the water pump through a water pumping channel. The spray head has a spray nozzle that can spray the water pumped by the water pump onto the wiping object.

10. The water volume-visible flat mop device as described in claim 9, wherein, The bottom of the water purification area is provided with a settling platform, and the water pump is located in the settling platform. The lower end of the settling platform and the lower end of the support column are flush with each other, so as to jointly support the upper bucket on the second bucket lid or the ground.
