Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to dewatering bucket technology for removing water from a rotating spin mop through a centrifugal dewatering process, and more particularly to a dewatering bucket set having a dewatering basket unit detachably mountable in a main bucket.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- A conventional dewatering bucket for removing water from a rotating spin mop through a centrifugal dewatering process is known comprising a bucket body, an axle housing fixedly mounted in the bucket body, and a dewatering basket rotatably supported on the axle housing. According to this prior art design, there is a dead space between the bucket body and the dewatering basket. Dirty water can be accumulated in the axle housing between the dewatering basket and the bucket body. It is difficult to clean this dead space. Newly supplied clean water or a clean rotating spin mop can be contaminated by dirty water that is accumulated in the dead space. Further, the dewatering basket is directly pivotally connected to the bucket body and not detachable. In application, the user must carry the whole assembly from place to place. Thus, using this design of dewatering bucket is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
- The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is therefore the main object of the present invention to provide a dewatering bucket set, which comprises a main bucket, and a dewatering basket unit detachably mountable in the main bucket and separable from the main bucket for independent application.
- To achieve this and other objects of the present invention, a dewatering bucket set in accordance with the present invention comprises a main bucket and a dewatering basket unit detachably mountable in the main bucket. The main bucket comprises a main bucket body having a rim extending around a top open side thereof and a first accommodation chamber defined therein. The dewatering basket unit comprises a dewatering bucket and a dewatering basket rotatably mounted in the dewatering bucket. The dewatering bucket comprises a plurality of discharge holes cut through a bottom wall thereof, and a mounting flange curved downwardly from the border of a top open side thereof and detachably attached to the rim of the main bucket body to position the dewatering bucket in the first accommodation chamber of the main bucket body and to keep the bottom wall of the dewatering bucket above a bottom wall of the main bucket body at a distance. When rotating a rotating spin mop in the dewatering basket unit to remove water, discharged dirty water from a rotating spin mop will be directly guided through the dewatering bucket into the main bucket body, avoiding contamination. Further, the dewatering basket unit can be detached from the main bucket body for independent use and clearing of the main bucket body.

FIG. 5 is a sectional elevational view of a part of the present invention, illustrating the dewatering basket unit positioned in the main bucket. - Referring to
FIGS. 1-5 , a dewatering bucket set in accordance with the present invention is shown. The dewatering bucket set comprises amain bucket 1, and a dewateringbasket unit 2 detachably mountable in themain bucket 1. - The
main bucket 1 comprises amain bucket body 11 comprising arim 111 extending around a top open side thereof, afirst accommodation chamber 112 and asecond accommodation chamber 113 defined therein and a plurality of locatingnotches 114 spaced along an inner side of therim 111, and afirst carrying handle 12 having two opposite ends thereof respectively pivotally connected to therim 111 of themain bucket body 11. - The
dewatering basket unit 2 comprises a dewateringbucket 21, a dewateringbasket 22, a bearinghousing 23, adamper cover 24 and asecond carrying handle 25. The dewateringbucket 21 comprises a plurality ofdischarge holes 211 cut through a bottom wall thereof, amounting flange 212 curved downwardly from the border of the top open side thereof, a plurality of locatingholes 213 located on the topmost edge thereof at selected locations, twoeye lugs 214 upwardly extended from themounting flange 212 at two opposite sides, and tworetaining holes 215 located on themounting flange 212 and respectively disposed adjacent to theeye lugs 214. - The dewatering
basket 22 is rotatably accommodated in the dewateringbucket 21 above thedischarge holes 211, comprising abottom shaft 221 downwardly extended from a bottom center thereof and rotatably inserted through the center of thedischarge holes 211. The bearinghousing 23 is mounted in the bottom wall of the dewateringbucket 21 below thedischarge holes 211 to support thebottom shaft 221, enabling the dewateringbasket 22 to be rotated by an external force relative to the dewateringbucket 21. - The
damper cover 24 comprises anannular cover body 241 covered over the upper peripheral edge of thedewatering basket 22, and a plurality of locatinglugs 242 downwardly extended from theannular cover body 241 and respectively engaged into the locatingholes 213 of thedewatering bucket 21. Thus, thedamper cover 24, the dewateringbasket 22 and the dewateringbucket 21 are assembled together. Thus, when rotating a rotating spin mop (not shown) in the dewateringbasket 22 to remove water, thedamper cover 24 effectively prohibits discharged dirty water from flying out of the dewateringbasket unit 2 to contaminate the surroundings. - When connecting the dewatering
basket unit 2 and themain bucket 1, fasten themounting flange 212 of the dewateringbucket 21 to therim 111 of themain bucket body 11 to keep the locatinghole 213 and locatinglug 242 of the dewateringbasket unit 2 in the locatingnotches 114 of themain bucket body 11, and thus, the dewateringbucket 21 is positioned in thefirst accommodation chamber 112 of themain bucket body 11. At this time, the bottom edge of the dewateringbucket 21 is spaced above the bottom wall of themain bucket body 11. Thus, when rotating a rotating spin mop in the dewateringbasket 22 of the dewateringbasket unit 2 to discharge water, discharged dirty water will be guided through thedischarge holes 211 of the dewateringbucket 21 into the inside of thefirst accommodation chamber 112 of themain bucket body 11. Thus, the dewatering bucket set is ease of use. - As stated above, the dewatering
bucket 21 of thedewatering basket unit 2 comprises twoeye lugs 214. Further, thesecond carrying handle 25 of thedewatering basket unit 2 comprises twopivot pins 251 and twopositioning blocks 252. Thepivot pins 251 of the second carryinghandle 25 are respectively pivotally coupled to theeye lugs 214 of thedewatering bucket 21. Thus, when wishing to use the dewateringbasket unit 2 independently, pull thesecond carrying handle 25 to carry the dewateringbasket unit 2 away from themain bucket 1 directly for independent use. When thesecond carrying handle 25 is not used, attach thesecond carrying handle 25 to the top edge of thedewatering bucket 21 to force thepositioning blocks 252 of thesecond carrying handle 25 into therespective retaining holes 215 of thedewatering bucket 21, prohibiting thesecond carrying handle 25 from interfering with the application of thedewatering basket unit 2. - Further, as stated above, the
main bucket 1 and the dewateringbasket unit 2 are respectively equipped with thefirst carrying handle 12 and thesecond carrying handle 25. Thus, if the dewateringbasket unit 2 and themain bucket 1 are assembled together, the user can hold thefirst carrying handle 12 of themain bucket 1 to carry the dewateringbasket unit 2 and themain bucket 1. When wishing to use the dewateringbasket unit 2 independently or to wash themain bucket 1, carry the second carryinghandle 25 to take the dewateringbasket unit 2 away from themain bucket 1, facilitating application. - In conclusion, the present invention has the technical features that: the dewatering
basket 22 is pivotally connected to the dewateringbucket 21 to establish the dewateringbasket unit 2; themounting flange 212 is curved downwardly from the border of the top open side of the dewateringbucket 21 and fastenable to therim 111 of themain bucket body 11, thereby securing the dewateringbasket unit 2 and themain bucket body 11. Thus, the invention enables the dewateringbasket unit 2 and themain bucket 1 to be conveniently and rapidly assembled together, allowing separation of the dewateringbasket unit 2 from themain bucket 1 for independent use. After separation of the dewateringbasket unit 2 from themain bucket 1, the user can wash and clean themain bucket body 11 conveniently, satisfying common usage requirements
