Description

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of cleaning tools, and relates to a cleaning bucket and a cleaning kit using the same.

Background of the Invention

When an existing cleaning tool performs cleaning, clean water is used at the beginning. With the cleaning process, the clean water becomes dirty water, and the dirty water and the clean water cannot be separated. Therefore, as the cleaning process goes on, water in a mop bucket becomes more and more dirty, and the effect of continuous cleaning cannot be achieved. Water can only be poured out, and a cleaning bucket is usually used now. However, there are at least two buckets in an existing clean and dirty water separation bucket, and a clean water bucket and a dirty water bucket are independent and required to be disassembled.

Summary of the Invention

In the cleaning bucket, the partition further includes a partition plate provided at the bottom of the bucket body, and the cover plate, the partition plate and the bucket body form the clean water area. The cover plate can close the top of the clean water area and can effectively prevent dirty water in the cleaning area from being sputtered into the clean water area from the top in the cleaning process of a mop, thereby preventing clean water in the clean water area from being polluted.

In the cleaning process of the bucket, the water pumping mechanism pumps the clean water into the bottom of the mop from the clean water area, so that the clean water in the clean water area is reduced continuously. The water injection hole can make a worker continuously inject clean water into the clean water area from the water injection hole.
In the cleaning bucket, the cover plate is clamped to a side edge of the bucket body through a covered edge provided on a side part of the cover plate.

The cover plate 22, the partition plate 21 and the bucket body 1 form the clean water area 11. The cover plate 22 can close the top of the clean water area 11 and can effectively prevent dirty water in the cleaning area 12 from being sputtered into the clean water area 11 from the top in the cleaning process of a mop, thereby preventing clean water in the clean water area 11 from being polluted.
A clearance space 4 is formed above the clean water area 11, and the cover plate 22 is bent to form the clearance space 4. The clearance space 4 is configured to accommodate a to-be-cleaned mop, so that the space in the cleaning area 12 is larger than the clean water area 11, and more dirty water can be stored in the cleaning area 12.
The bottom of the cover plate 22 is provided obliquely, so that dirty water after cleaning performed by the cleaning assembly 7 can flow to the bottom of the cleaning area 12 through the oblique cover plate 22, thereby preventing the dirty water from being accumulated in the clearance space 4.
The cover plate 22 is provided with a water injection hole 5 for injecting clean water into the clean water area 11. In the cleaning process of the bucket, the water pumping mechanism 3 pumps the clean water into the bottom of the mop from the clean water area 11, so that the clean water in the clean water area 11 is reduced continuously. The water injection hole 5 can make a worker continuously inject clean water into the clean water area 11 from the water injection hole 5.
The cover plate 22 is clamped to a side edge of the bucket body 1 through a covered edge 6 provided on a side part of the cover plate.

A lower side of the upper shaft 19 is provided with the lower shaft 20 rotatably connected to bucket body 1. In the invention, the upper shaft 19 can move up and down axially. When a mop is cleaned, the upper shaft 19 is located at a lower side position, abuts against the lower shaft 20 and is clamped to the lower shaft 20, and the rotation of the upper shaft 19 drives the lower shaft 20 to rotate so as to make water flow upwards. When the mop is scraped, the upper shaft 19 is located at an upper side position and is disconnected to the lower shaft 20, and at this time, the rotation of the upper shaft 19 will not drive the lower shaft 20 to rotate.
The disengaging and engaging mechanism includes two gear rings 21 that are respectively provided at a lower end of the upper shaft 19 and an upper end of the lower shaft 20. The two gear rings 21 are capable of being meshed and connected. In the invention, the two gear rings 21 are embedded mutually and clamped through the upper shaft 19 and the lower shaft 20.

In addition, the upper shaft 19 is rotatably connected to the lifting column 23. Furthermore, when the upper shaft 19 works, whether the upper shaft 19 is in a cleaning state or a scraping state, the rotation direction of the upper shaft is the same as the direction of the abutment block 32 extending into the lifting column 23, so that the abutment block 32 will not be disconnected to the upper abutment surface 29 or the lower abutment surface 30, and the abutment block 32 and the lifting block 23 are still clamped.
An upper end of the lifting column 23 is further convexly provided with a mop clamping head 24, and the mop clamping head 24 and the upper shaft 19 are coaxially provided.
