Shown in Figure 37 C and Figure 37 D, tank and wringer assembly 204 can be divided into three parts: washing lotion tank 206, washing lotion stream controller 208 and wringer 210.
It should be noted that most of existing bar activates the wringer part that the wringer design can both be used for tank and wringer assembly 204.
Preferably, shown in Figure 38 A and 38B, bucket 10 comprises the flow control valve that is used to control through the flow velocity of described at least one discharge orifice 20.This flow control mechanism 208 is made up of the flow-control bar as valve.The horizontal component of handle apparatus forms a plurality of parallel holes, and washing lotion is gone into the wringer container through described a plurality of parallel orifice flows.When described hole was arranged to be in closing position (upright position) with the described bar of box lunch, washing lotion stream was blocked by the cylindrical surface of handle.When handle rotated to open flow position (shown in Figure 38 A and Figure 38 B), hole 212 was aimed at the wringer component holes with tank, therefore allowed washing lotion to flow into the wringer container.
Preferably, according to another embodiment of the present invention, bucket 10 can further comprise that be connected removedly with barrels 10 or be added to the storage drawer (storage drawer) of tank and wringer assembly.This compartment can be positioned at the following of tank part and can reach from the front.The storage device of product can be taked the shape of drawer type stocking system (drawer-type storage system) or the simple opening in the reservoir volume zone (storage volume area) of coming in and going out is provided.
Commercial bucket design has such benefit: need provide outstanding cleaning result from the less active force of user than traditional commercial mop-pail stands and wringer.
In order to operate commercial bucket, at first the mop with drying places the wringer container.Rotary current control lever 208 flows to wringer container (shown in Figure 38 B) to open washing lotion then.At this moment, mop is through some clean washing lotion jets, thereby permission mop rinsing and dipping are to desired degree.Excessive washing lotion is drained automatically to the gatherer reservoir.By being got back to its home position, 208 rotations of flow-control bar interrupt washing lotion stream.The mop that has been arranged in wringer can easily be gone out excessive washing lotion by wringing and be used for cleaning then.
Therefore, can develop based on production line of the present invention.Bucket can be designed to the version of multiple shape and size.The bucket operation of the specially designed mop of available needs designs the system that mops floor and selects (floormopping system option).Perhaps, the clean bucket of purpose can be designed to other cleaning mediums (sponge, cloth etc.) usually.
Though the present invention is illustrated above by the mode of its preferred implementation, should be pointed out that within the scope of the appended claims the modification to these preferred implementations is not regarded as change or changes characteristic of the present invention and scope.
For example, can use the geometry and the wringer container mechanism of revising bucket according to different Design and Features.The bucket parts can be circle or rectangle or any other shape.In all cases, operating principle keeps similar.Selectively, cistern can be closed to form whole storage bin.Cover cap is another possibility.The wringer valve system can selectively be designed to operate by vertical translation rather than by rotation.In such design structure, the downward power on the mop rod is opened washing lotion stream.This stream can stop when the power that releasing applies then.Compressing spring then can be used for making it towards closing position to load the wringer container in this structure.Wringer container mechanism also can be designed to allow to regulate the washing lotion flow velocity (liquor capacity per second) that enters the wringer container.Can attempt not deviating from the spirit or scope of the present invention as many variations set forth above.
