Furthermore, the device may be otherwise positioned (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

The present utility model is based on the fact and problem of finding that a new type of cleaning mop is proposed: existing cleaning mops generally include a cleaning head movable along a surface to be cleaned and a handle body portion rotatably attached to the cleaning head, the handle body portion having a use position inclined to facilitate a user pushing and pulling the cleaning mop back and forth and a rest position standing upright to facilitate a user receiving the cleaning mop.

The cleaning head is provided with at least one cleaning member which can be brought into contact with a surface to be cleaned for cleaning. Depending on the type of cleaning mop, the cleaning components may be different, such as a wet cleaning mop, and the cleaning components may be a brush roll or a brush plate; while a cleaning mop employing steam cleaning may have a cleaning element that is a rotatable cleaning plate or wipe for wiping and contacting the surface to be cleaned with high temperature steam.

The general problems of the existing cleaning mop are: when the handle body is in the upright, rest position, the cleaning mop is supported on a flat surface only by the cleaning elements, with poor stability and frequent tipping. To this end, the present utility model provides a cleaning mop having a rear support assembly that cooperatively supports when the handle body is in an upright, resting position. In order to explain the technical scheme provided by the utility model in detail, a cleaning mop using the cleaning attachment as a pair of rotary cleaning discs is described below. It should be understood that the following solutions can be applied without doubt to a cleaning mop that employs other types of cleaning attachments, and thus the particular type of cleaning attachment and the manner in which the cleaning mop is cleaned do not limit the scope of the present utility model.

Fig. 1 illustrates a cleaning mop 100 provided by the present utility model that is capable of moving along a surface to be cleaned and performing a cleaning operation on the surface to be cleaned by steam. As shown in the drawing, the cleaning mop 100 includes a cleaning head 1 to which steam is externally output, and a handle body 2 rotatably connected to the cleaning head 1.

Referring to fig. 2 and 5, the cleaning head 1 is movable along a surface to be cleaned and includes a housing 11 forming an outer contour, a pair of rotatable cleaning discs 12 provided at the bottom of the housing 11, a driving assembly for driving the pair of rotatable cleaning discs 12 to rotate, and a rear supporting assembly. Wherein the housing 11 is provided with a number of steam vents (not shown) for steam to flow out of the cleaning mop 100, the steam vents being configured to face a surface to be cleaned or/and a pair of rotatable cleaning discs 12.

A pair of rotatable cleaning discs 12 are disposed side-to-side and define a symmetry axis Y1 extending longitudinally therebetween, the symmetry axis Y1 passing through the center of the cleaning head 1. A pair of rotatable cleaning discs 12 are exposed, the outer edges of which define the front, left and right boundaries of the cleaning head 1, so that the cleaning mop 100 can effectively clean corners, tables, etc. to reduce cleaning dead angles. The driving mechanism is disposed inside the housing 11, and includes a driving motor 13 as a power source and a synchronizing gear set as a transmission member, which is configured such that the driving motor 13 rotates a pair of rotatable cleaning discs 12 in opposite rotational directions, respectively.

The handle assembly 21 is provided with a grip 211 adapted to be held by a user's single hand and control keys 212 provided on the grip 211 to facilitate the user's single hand manipulation of the cleaning mop 100.

The main body 22 includes a cabinet 221, a steam boiler 222 mounted inside the cabinet 221, and a water supply tank 223 detachably mounted on the cabinet 221. The handle assembly 21 is fixedly installed at the upper side of the casing 221; the water supply tank 223 is used for storing and supplying clean water, and the cleaning mop 100 is formed with a fluid output path for fluid to flow from the water supply tank 223 to each steam nozzle on the cleaning head 1; the steam boiler 222 is located on the fluid output path and is capable of converting water from the water supply tank 223 into high temperature steam for cleaning.

When the cleaning mop 100 works, the steam boiler 222 and the driving motor 13 are started; the fresh water in the water supply tank 223 flows along the fluid output path and is converted at the steam boiler 222 into high temperature steam which is finally distributed via the steam vents of the cleaning head 1 onto the surface to be cleaned or/and the pair of rotatable cleaning discs 12; finally, the rotating pair of rotatable cleaning discs 12 clean the wetted surface to be cleaned, thereby completing the cleaning operation.

The connection end 23 is provided with a swivel joint 231 fixedly connected to the lower part of the housing 221, and the swivel joint 231 is rotatably connected to the housing 11 of the cleaning head 1 about a first transverse axis Y2. The handle body part 2 has a use position inclined with respect to the cleaning head part 1 so that the user pushes the cleaning mop 100, and a stop position standing upright with respect to the cleaning head part 1 so that the user receives the cleaning mop 100.

The lower portion of the housing 221 is rotatably coupled to the rotary joint 231 about a longitudinal axis Y4 perpendicular to the first transverse axis Y2, so that the handle body 2 has two degrees of freedom in a transverse direction and a longitudinal direction with respect to the cleaning head 1, thereby facilitating the user's manipulation of the cleaning mop 100. Further, the cleaning mop 100 is further provided with a locking mechanism for locking the handle body 2 at a stop position, the locking mechanism including a socket 224 which is retractable with respect to the housing 221 and a socket (not shown) which is opened at an upper end face of the housing 11 of the cleaning head 1. The locking mechanism is configured such that when the handle body portion 2 is in the rest position, the socket is located directly below the insert plate 224 and is engageable with the insert plate 224, thereby limiting rotation of the handle body portion 2 in the lateral and longitudinal directions.

In other embodiments, the cleaning mop may also add a solids recovery function. Specifically, the dust collection motor for forming a suction flow and the dust cup component capable of realizing a gas-solid separation function and collecting separated solid garbage can be additionally arranged on the body part of the handle of the cleaning mop, the dust collection motor is arranged in the shell, and the dust cup component is detachably arranged on the shell. Correspondingly, at least one suction opening facing the surface to be cleaned is additionally arranged on the shell casing of the cleaning head of the cleaning mop, and the suction opening, the dust cup assembly and the dust suction motor are sequentially in fluid communication and form a fluid path for suction flow to flow from the surface to be cleaned to the dust suction motor so as to recycle the solid garbage on the surface to be cleaned. In this embodiment, the cleaning mop may also have a water supply tank provided on the cleaning head to simplify the structure of the handle body portion and to lower the center of gravity of the cleaning mop.

Referring to fig. 3, 6 and 7, a rear support assembly for assisting in supporting the cleaning mop 100 when the handle body is in the stopped position includes a liftable support member and a linkage mechanism coupling the rotary joint 231 and the support member.

The linkage mechanism includes a rotating bracket 141 and a spring 142 connected to the rotating bracket 141. The rotating bracket 141 is located on the axis of symmetry Y1 and is configured to be rotatably connected to the housing 11 of the cleaning head 1 about a second transverse axis Y3 parallel to the first transverse axis Y2. The rotating bracket 141 includes a pair of pivots (not shown) on the second transverse axis Y3 and connected to the housing 11, and front and rear ends respectively on front and rear sides of the second transverse axis Y3.

The spring 142 is located inside the housing 11 and is disposed at the rear end of the rotating bracket 141. The rear end of the rotating bracket 141 is provided with a force receiving seat 143 adapted to the spring 142, and both side ends of the spring 142 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the bottom end surface of the housing 11 and the lower end surface of the force receiving seat 143, respectively. The spring 142 is configured to be in tension to provide a downward force to the force receiving seat 143 (i.e., the rear end portion of the rotating bracket 141).

The supporting member provided in this embodiment is a caster 15, and the caster 15 is fixedly connected to the rear end portion of the swivel bracket 141 and is exposed from the bottom of the cleaning head 1. The caster 15 is configured to have a standing position on the same plane as the pair of rotatable cleaning discs 12 and a high position higher than the standing position. Wherein the low position is defined by the housing 11 of the cleaning head 1 (see fig. 3). In other embodiments, the support member may also be a flexure, a universal wheel, a smooth hemisphere, or the like.

The swivel joint 231 is provided with a pair of hinge parts 232 located on the first transverse axis Y2 and synchronously driven with the swivel joint 231, and each hinge part 232 includes an outwardly protruding limiting end (not shown) and an abutment surface 233 adjacent to the limiting end and disposed rearward. The front section of the swivel bracket 141 comprises a pair of abutment ends 144 respectively adapted to the pair of hinge members 232. The pair of hinge pieces 233 are configured such that when the handle body part 2 is in the use position, the pair of abutment surfaces 233 each contact the corresponding abutment end 144 and exert a downward force on the front end of the swivel bracket 141 (see fig. 7); and a pair of abutment end portions 144 (fig. 6) which are disengaged from the rotating bracket 141 when the handle body portion 2 is located at the stop position.

As will be appreciated, when the handle body portion 2 is in the use position, the pair of abutment surfaces 233 rotate the bracket 141 to provide a force against the tension of the spring 142 and raise the structural member to the raised position (i.e., clear of the surface to be cleaned) to facilitate the user's pushing and pulling of the cleaning mop 100 for cleaning operations; when the handle body 2 is in the stopped position, the rotating bracket 141 descends the structural member to the seated position by the tension of the spring 142, and the structural member forms a stable support with the pair of rotatable cleaning discs 12, thereby improving the stability of the cleaning mop 100.
