The technical content and features of the present invention will be described in detail below by referring to the preferred embodiments and the drawings. The present invention is mainly applied to an electric mops and wet type electric mops, and those skilled in the art can understand that the description terms of the embodiments are generic description of which the application field is not limited; for example, material or shape terms include but are not limited to the materials or shapes specified by the description, and the positional terms include but are not limited to “arrange”, “close to”, “connect”, or “abut”. The word “one” for indicating the number of components means one and more than one component. The directional expressions such as “upper”, “lower”, “inside”, “outside”, “top” and “bottom” mentioned in the contents of the description are merely illustrative terms based on the normal use direction, not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, an automatic cleaning mop comprises: a mop rod assembly having a handle segment assembly 1, an upper rod assembly 2, and a lower rod assembly 3; a mop head assembly 4; and a cleaning base assembly 5; the mop head assembly 4 is disposed at the lower end of the mop rod assembly, and the cleaning base assembly 5 is used for placing and cleaning the mop head assembly 4. The mop rod assembly comprises at least two connecting segments, and the at least two connecting segments are detachably connected to each other.

As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the mop head assembly 4 has a mop head housing 4a on which a rotatable cleaning roller 4b is disposed. Preferably, the mop head housing 4a is internally provided with a motor for driving the cleaning roller 4b, and the motor is connected to the cleaning roller 4b through a transmission mechanism assembly. Preferably, the transmission mechanism assembly comprises a change gear set, a drive belt and a roller connector 4d; the motor 4c, the change gear set, the drive belt and the roller connector 4d are sequentially connected; the roller connector 4d is rotatably disposed on the mop head housing 4a; and the cleaning roller 4b is fitted to the roller connector 4d. Preferably, one end of the roller connector 4d is correspondingly connected to a pulley of the drive belt at one end, the roller connector 4d is fitted at the other end, and the roller connector 4d is mounted on the mop head housing 4a by a bearing.

As shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 7, the cleaning base assembly 5 has a casing member 5a; a cleaning tank 5aa is formed in the upper surface of the casing member; a decontamination assembly for scrubbing the mop is disposed in the cleaning tank 5aa, and the housing member 5a is provided with a drainage system for discharging sewage. Preferably, a positioning groove 5ab for placing the mop head is disposed in the cleaning tank 5aa. Preferably, the decontamination assembly comprises a squeezing scraper strip 5b, and the squeezing scraper strip 5b is disposed at an edge of the positioning groove 5ab. Preferably, the drainage system comprises a drain valve 5c, an water inlet end of the drain valve 5c is connected into the cleaning tank 5aa, a water outlet end of the drain valve 5c is connected to the outside of the casing member 5a, and a button 5d for starting the drain valve 5c is disposed on the casing member 5a.

The specific structural form of the cleaning base assembly 5 is given in this embodiment, wherein the casing member 5a is the body of the cleaning base assembly 5, and the cleaning tank 5aa is used for containing water for cleaning the mop. The decontamination assembly is used to help the roller on the mop to discharge the adsorbed sewage. In the above embodiment, the decontamination assembly comprises a squeezing scraper strip 5b and a bolt for fixing the squeezing scraper strip 5b. Moreover, as shown in the figure, the squeezing scraper strip 5b is strip-shaped and has a 7-shaped cross section. In actual design, the lower outer surface of the squeezing scraper strip 5b is provided with a bulge for improving the squeezing effect, the bulge is opposite to a mounting fixing portion at the upper part of the squeezing scraper strip 5b, and the lower part of the bulge is inclined outwardly to improve the squeezing effect. The structure of the bulge can also be replaced by other structures having the same function, such as bumps. In the specific application, the roller of the mop is placed in the positioning groove 5ab, and at this time, the squeezing scraper strip 5b is in a state of squeezing the roller, and then water for cleaning is poured into the cleaning tank 5aa, and then the roller begins to rotate. The roller is squeezed by the squeezing scraper strip 5b, and thus the roller is physically cleaned. After the roller is cleaned to a certain extent, sewage after cleaning is discharged, and when the sewage is discharged to expose the roller, the sewage in the roller can be squeezed out due to the squeezing by the squeezing scraper strip 5b. In the specific implementation, in order to naturally discharge sewage out of the cleaning tank 5aa, the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 5aa is set as an inclined surface to facilitate the natural flowing and drainage of the sewage. The casing member 5a is integrally formed; therefore, as shown in the figure, the cleaning tank 5aa is formed by recessing downward the whole upper plate surface of the casing member 5a, and correspondingly the positioning groove 5ab is also formed by entirely recessing the casing member 5a. Through the bending of the main plate surface of the casing member 5a, a cavity is naturally formed underneath it for arranging the relevant components of the drainage system. In addition, a bottom casing plate 5i is provided to be mounted at the lower end of the casing member 5a, and the relevant components of the drainage system are sealed in the cavity for protection. In order to arrange the drain pipe 5h more stably, a fixing clamping plate 5j for fixing the drain pipe 5h is also arranged. In the specific implementation, in order to place the mop more stably, the plate body is entirely protruded upward, thus forming a resting portion 5k for resting the mop on the casing plate 5a.
