Description

Mop cleaner {wet duster}

The present invention relates to a mop cleaner, and more particularly, to a mop cleaner for wiping a floor in an apartment, a general house, an office, and the like.

Unlike other countries, Korea's housing culture is to live off its shoes and sleep on the floor, so the floor must be kept clean. Typically, most homes use vacuum cleaners to clean the floor. Such a vacuum cleaner may use a vacuum to remove dust or small foreign matters accumulated on the floor. However, the vacuum cleaner can remove dust or foreign matter that is easily separated from the bottom, but dust or oil stuck to the floor, food waste, etc. cannot be removed. As such, dust or oil, food waste, etc., which could not be removed by a vacuum cleaner, had to be removed using a mop.

By the way, when cleaning the floor using a mop did not give a strong force to the mop could not remove the old time stuck on the floor. In addition, in the prone state to hold the mop by hand to clean the floor, so cleaning the mop used to pain in the lower back and arms. In other words, mop cleaning required hard labor, and therefore, the elderly, pregnant women, and those with back pain could not clean the mop. In particular, these days, the spread of large apartments, the difficulty of cleaning the mop has been highlighted.

Based on these problems, many companies are selling and selling a mop cleaner consisting of an elongated handle bar, and a detachable part for attaching and detaching the mop at the bottom of the handle bar.

However, in the case of such a mop cleaner, when the mop is dirty or the moisture absorbed in the mop disappeared because it had to be replaced with a new mop often caused inconvenience. In addition, since the detachable part to which the mop is attached has a large area, the force applied to the mop cleaner is dispersed. That is, the pressure per unit area applied to the floor by the mop was forced to be small, and thus could not effectively remove the bundled time of the floor.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a mop cleaner that does not need to replace the mop during cleaning.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a mop cleaner that can apply a large force to the floor to effectively remove the bundled dust.

The roller 30 is installed in the rear of the main body 10. The roller 30 is preferably formed with a friction protrusion (30a) for doubling the friction force with the mop 60 so as to orbital movement of the track belt 40 is wrapped.

The roller 30 can be rotated in one direction. The structure for this can be implemented in various ways, as shown in Figure 7 in this embodiment, is implemented by installing a rotary restraint clutch between the roller 30 and the main body 10. The rotational clutch is installed on the outer periphery of the edge of the roller 30, the clutch gear 35 having a first gear 35a having a vertical surface formed on one side and an inclined surface formed on the other side, and hinged to a predetermined portion of the main body. And a lever 36 having a second gear 36a coupled to the first gear 35a, and an elastic member 37 elastically biasing the lever 36 in the direction of the clutch gear 35. With this structure, the second gear 36a is elastically biased in the direction coupled to the first gear 35a by the elastic member 37, so that the roller 30 coupled with the clutch gear 35 is in one direction. Only is rotated.

On the other hand, the roller 30 may be coupled by a known one-way clutch bearing 27 shown in Figure 6, in this case, the roller 30 can be rotated only in one direction.

If the roller 30 is not rotated in only one direction, it should not be idle at least. To this end, that is, to restrain the rotation of the roller 30, as shown in FIG. 8, a stopper gear 35 ′ having a plurality of stopper grooves 35 a ′ formed on the outer circumference of the roller 30. ) And a stopper 36 ′ elastically coupled to the stopper groove 35a ′ on the main body 10 to restrain the rotation of the stopper gear 35 ′. Such a stopper can be implemented in various ways, for example, an elastic member 36b 'for elastically biasing the ball 36a' and the ball 36a 'fitted in the stopper groove 35a' toward the stopper gear 35 '. It can be composed of).

The track belt 40 wraps the roller 30 and the pressing unit 20 in an endless track, and moves the endless track together as the roller 30 is rotated. The track belt 40 may be implemented in other ways, for example, may be implemented as a known time belt, in which the roller 30 should have a gear corresponding to the gear of the time belt.

On the upper portion of the track belt 40, a plurality of first detachable portions 41 are provided at regular intervals. The first detachable part 41 is detachably attached to the second detachable part 61 provided at a predetermined interval below the mop part 60.

The mop part 60 is elongated as being in close contact with the floor of the room, and as shown in FIG. 3, a second detachable part 61 which can be attached to and detached from the first detachable part 41 of the track belt below. Is formed. At this time, the first detachable portion 41 and the second detachable portion 61 is a detachable Velcro, a button, or any one of a configuration consisting of a hook and a hook hook. In the present embodiment, the first and second detachable portions 41 and 61 use a known Velcro.
