Further, in a case where the motor suction device 6 is provided with a damper 32 so that exhaust gas can be sent to the bubble generation nozzle 17, if the damper 32 is closed while the motor suction device 6 is operating, the motor suction device 6 Air is pressure-fed to the bubble jet nozzle 17 from the air supply pipe 31 connected to the exhaust chamber 26 via the intake pipe 25, the suction chamber 24, and the exhaust chamber 26, and bubbles are generated in the water stored in the water receiving space A. Can be generated. Then, the inserted mop M can be more effectively cleaned by the agitation of the water by the bubble blowing and the ultrasonic wave generated by the burst of the bubble.
[0029]
【The invention's effect】
In the past, when cleaning and dewatering a mop, the location for cleaning and the location for dehydration were separate, and each task required a lot of time and labor. In addition, the washing was only performed by inserting a mop into a water-filled container and rubbing it, so that dirt could not be sufficiently removed.
[0030]
However, the apparatus of the present invention improves the cleaning effect by providing the water-flowing rubbing plates 29a, 29b and the bubble jet nozzle 17 in the cleaning section 4, and also allows water supply and drainage to be performed together. In the dewatering section 5, sufficient dewatering can be automatically performed by pressing the mop against the bottom of the dewatering vessel 18 in a short time.
[0031]
The cleaning unit 4 and the dewatering unit 5 are compactly housed in a single case, so that the apparatus can be reduced in size and weight. Since the air supply and the dewatering from the small hole group 21 of the dewatering container 18 can be performed at the same time, the ordinary person can easily perform both the cleaning and the dewatering of the mop, and the high efficiency of the mop cleaning operation is achieved. Is realized.
