TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the field of mop buckets, and particularly relates to a mop bucket.BACKGROUND

[0002] A mop bucket usually includes a bucket body, an upper cover disposed on the bucket body, two scraper structures disposed on the upper cover, and a handle disposed outside the upper cover. An existing bucket body is integrated, with its interior divided into two cavities, each corresponding to one scraper structure. However, such a bucket body has several drawbacks: firstly, its production is relatively inconvenient, and replacement parts are costly if the bucket body is damaged. Additionally, the existing handle design is not reasonable enough, lacking sufficient strength. Moreover, the two scraper structures are identical, but the desired effects for washing and drying the mop are different, making the identical scraper structures less than ideal.SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the drawbacks of the exiting mop buckets, the technical problem to be solved by the present disclosure is to provide a mop bucket featuring convenient production of a bucket body and reasonable replacement of fittings. Moreover, the mop bucket is required to have the effect of reasonable design of handles and scraper structures.

[0004] In order to achieve the above objective, according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the present disclosure is achieved by the following technical measures: a mop bucket includes: a bucket body, an interior of which is divided into two cavities; an upper cover disposed at an upper end of the bucket body; scraper structures disposed on the upper cover and corresponding to the two cavities; and a handle disposed on an outer side of the upper cover, where the bucket body includes a left bucket body and a right bucket body that are able to be fastened together and detached; and the upper cover is arranged at upper ends of the left bucket body and the right bucket body for secondary fixation of the left bucket body and the right bucket body.

[0005] Since the bucket body is designed to include the left bucket body and the right bucket body and the left bucket body and the right bucket body are fastened, the mop bucket is not only stable in structure, but also convenient to produce.

[0006] Further, the left bucket body and the right bucket body are arranged at different heights or at a same height.

[0007] Further, a clamping plate is disposed on one of the left bucket body and the right bucket body and thus enables fastening to the other of the left bucket body and the right bucket body. With the above design, secure fastening can be achieved.

[0008] Further, a limiting head is further disposed on an inner wall of the clamping plate, and a limiting opening is further formed in the other bucket body without a clamping plate.

[0009] Further, a handle is disposed on each of two sides of the upper cover, and both handles are fixable by clamping. With the above design, the handles have a secure structure and a good load-bearing effect.

[0010] Further, a middle portion of one of the handles on the two sides of the upper cover is a round rod, and a middle portion of the other of the handles is provided with an arc-shaped bayonet, and the handles are fixed by clamping of the round rod and the arc-shaped bayonet.

[0011] Further, the scraper structures includes a cleaning scraper structure and a squeezing scraper structure; each of the cleaning scraper structure and the squeezing scraper structure includes a scraper and a limiting plate; the scraper is rotatable; the limiting plate of the cleaning scraper structure is arranged at an upper end of the scraper to limit a distance by which the scraper is flipped up; the limiting plate of the squeezing scraper structure is arranged at a lower end of the scraper to limit a distance by which the scraper is flipped down; and a baffle plate for covering the scraper is further disposed at an upper end of the scraper of the squeezing scraper structure and not configured to limit the scraper. The above design features a reasonable structure. The cleaning scraper structure may be pushed downward effortlessly and pulled upward for dirt cleaning, and the squeezing scraper structure may be pushed downward for squeezing and pulled upward effortlessly. In this way, it is more convenient to use.

[0012] Further, a return spring is further disposed on the scraper.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the following advantages: the bucket body can be produced more conveniently and replaced at a lower cost. The handles can have a more ideal load-bearing effect. The scraper structures are more reasonable in design and more convenient to use.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] The accompanying drawings illustrate exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, and are intended to explain the principles of the present disclosure together with the description thereof. The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the present disclosure, and are included in and constitute part of the specification. In the drawings:

[0015] FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a mop bucket of the present disclosure;

[0016] FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a right bucket body of the present disclosure;

[0017] FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a left bucket body of the present disclosure; and

[0018] FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a scraper structure of the present disclosure.LIST OF REFERENCE NUMERALS1, bucket body; 2, left bucket body; 3, right bucket body; 4, upper cover; 5, scraper structure; 6, handle, 7, clamping plate; 8, a limiting head; 9, a limiting opening; 10, a scraper; 11, a limiting plate; and 12, a baffle plate.DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0020] For descriptive purposes, the present disclosure can use spatially relative terms, such as “below”, “below the lower side of”, “under”, “lower”, “on the upper side of”, “upper”, “above”, “higher”, and “side (such as in a ”sidewall“)” to describe a relationship (relationships) between one component and another component (other components) as shown in the accompanying drawings. In addition to orientations depicted in the drawings, the spatially relative terms are further intended to include different orientations when a device is in use, operation and / or manufacturing. For example, if the device in a figure is turned upside down, a component described as being “below the lower side of” or “under” another component or feature is then located “above” the another component or feature. Therefore, the exemplary term “below the lower side of” may include orientations “above” and “below”. In addition, the device may be alternatively located (for example, rotated by 90 degrees or in another orientation), thus accordingly explaining spatially relative descriptors used herein.

[0021] With reference to FIG. 1, a mop bucket provided by the present embodiment includes a bucket body 1, an upper cover 4, and a handle 6. The bucket body 1 includes a left bucket body 2 and a right bucket body 3. The upper cover 4 is configured to fix the left bucket body 2 and the right bucket body 3. Moreover, two scraper structures 5 opposite to the left bucket body 2 and the right bucket body 3 are fixed at an upper end of the upper cover 4. One handle 6 is fixed at each of two outside ends of the upper cover 4. A middle portion of one of the handles 6 is a round rod, and a middle portion of the other of the handles is provided with an arc-shaped bayonet. In use, the two handles 6 are fixed by clamping of the round rod and the arc-shaped bayonet.

[0022] With reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a clamping plate 7 is fixed to a left end of the right bucket body 3. A limiting head 8 is fixed inside the clamping plate 7. A limiting opening 9 for insertion of the limiting head 8 is formed on an inner side of a right end of the left bucket body 2. Moreover, the clamping plate 7 can be clamped in the opening of the left bucket body 2.

[0023] With reference to FIG. 4, the scraper structures 5 includes a cleaning scraper structure and a squeezing scraper structure. The cleaning scraper structure is located above the right bucket body 3, while the squeezing scraper structure is located above the left bucket body 2. Each of the two scraper structures 5 includes a scraper 10 and a limiting plate 11. Each scraper 10 is rotatable. The limiting plate 11 of the cleaning scraper structure is arranged at an upper end of the scraper 10 to limit a distance by which the scraper 10 is flipped up. The limiting plate 11 of the squeezing scraper structure is arranged at a lower end of the scraper 10 to limit a distance by which the scraper 10 is flipped down, and a baffle plate 12 for covering the scraper 10 is further fixed to the upper cover 4 at an upper end of the scraper 10 of the squeezing scraper structure. The baffle plate 12 is not configured to limit the scraper 10. Of course, the two scrapers are further provided with return springs for rotating to return.

[0024] In use, a mop is located at the upper end of the upper cover. When aligned with the cleaning scraper structure and pushed downward, the mop can be pushed downward effortlessly due to the absence of a lower stopper. However, when the mop is pulled upward to remove dirt, the scraper cannot rotate upward as being limited by the limiting plate, ensuring effective cleaning. To squeeze water out of the mop, the mop is pushed downward against the squeezing scraper structure. With the limiting plate below, the mop can be completely dried. Conversely, pulling upward requires less effort since there is no stopper. Thus, it is more convenient to use.

[0025] The foregoing are merely descriptions of the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure, and various changes and modifications of the present disclosure may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure should be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
