Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mop dewatering methods, such as foot-press, centrifugal, and hand-push types, are laborious, complex, or costly, and often face resistance issues when withdrawing the mop, leading to inefficient water scraping and operability problems.
Innovation Solution
A scraper structure with a one-way limit mechanism and flexible material design, featuring a fixed and moving end with a water scraping part, allows for effective water scraping when moving down and easy deformation to facilitate mop withdrawal by swinging and bending when moving up, reducing resistance and improving operability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a spring-based scraping plate is used to return the scraper, then the scraper can automatically return to its scraping position, but the scraper creates large resistance force on the mop during withdrawal
Solution Approach 1:
The scraper material's rigidity parameter is changed by incorporating a groove structure that allows controlled deformation. The groove enables the scraper to transition from a rigid scraping state to a flexible withdrawal state, reducing resistance force during mop withdrawal while maintaining scraping effectiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The scraper is designed with dynamic characteristics through the groove structure, allowing it to adapt its rigidity based on operational phase. During water scraping, the scraper maintains a straight rigid state for effective scraping, while during withdrawal, it can bend and deform to reduce resistance, creating a dynamic response to operational requirements
2Productivity
If the scraper is made rigid to improve water scraping effect, then the water scraping efficiency is improved, but the mop becomes difficult to withdraw
Solution Approach 1:
The groove structure in the scraper enables controlled changes in rigidity. The groove allows the scraper material to deform during withdrawal while maintaining structural integrity during scraping, effectively changing the mechanical parameters of the scraper based on operational phase
Solution Approach 2:
The groove structure segments the scraper material, creating regions of different rigidity. This segmentation allows the scraper to maintain overall structural strength for effective water scraping while creating flexible zones that reduce resistance during withdrawal
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The scraper structure enhances water scraping efficiency, reduces labor in dewatering, and improves the ease of mop movement, making the process more practical and convenient for both cleaning buckets and hand wash-free mops.
Implementation Method 1
the scraper is made of a flexible material... when the mop moves in a direction opposite to a water scraping direction, the moving end is driven by the mop to swing, that is, the scraper is in a bent state

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of cleaning tools, in particular to a scraper structure, and a cleaning bucket and hand wash-free mop with the same, which solve the problems of poor water scraping effect and laborious movement of a mop in a direction opposite to a water scraping direction. The scraper structure is arranged in a cleaning channel for cleaning the mop, and includes a scraper holder and a scraper arranged on the scraper holder, where the scraper includes a fixed end and a moving end, the fixed end is fixedly arranged on the scraper holder, the moving end is provided with a water scraping part, and the scraper holder further includes a one-way limit structure. The effects of good water scraping and labor-saving and easy movement of the mop in the direction opposite to the water scraping direction are achieve.
