DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The utility model is further expounded below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are merely used to explain the utility model, and are not intended to limit the utility model.


Embodiment 1

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, this embodiment provides a mop cleaning device with a cleaning tub capable of rising and falling, which comprises a big container 1, a small container 2, a water wiper 3, and a lifting mechanism arranged between the big container 1 and the small container 2, wherein the small container 2 is able to rise and fall with respect to the big container 1 by means of the lifting mechanism and is provided with water inlets 20; when the small container 2 is located at a low position, the water level in the big container 1 is higher than the water inlets 20 of the small container 2, and water from the big container 1 is injected into the small container 2; when the small container 2 is located at a high position, the water level in the big container 1 is lower than the water inlets 20 of the small container 2, and water is stopped from being injected into the small container 2 from the big container 1; and at this moment, the small container 2 serves as a cleaning tub, a mop head 4 is soaked and cleaned in the small container 2, then water in the mop head 4 is wiped off by the water wiper 3 which is arranged in the big container 1 or the small container 2.


Preferably, in this embodiment, the small container 2 is arranged in the big container 1. When the small container 2 is located at a low position, water from the big container 1 is directly injected into the small container 2 via the water inlets 20.


In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism comprises a slope 11 which is fixedly arranged with respect to the big container 1, and a sliding column 22 arranged in the small container 2, wherein the sliding column 22 is disposed on the slope 11 and moves along a track defined by the slope 11, and when the small container 2 rotates, the sliding column 22 slides along the slope to rise and fall. A user stretches the mop head 4 into the small container 2 and then operates a mop rod to drive the small container 2 to rotate to rise and fall.


In this embodiment, the water wiper 3 and a water outlet 20′ are arranged at an open end of the small container 2; an angle α between the water wiper 3 and a horizontal line is an obtuse angle, that is, the water wiper 3 inclines with respect to the horizontal direction; and when the mop head 4 moves downwards, water flows to the water outlet 20′ along the upper surface of the water wiper 3. This structure can accelerate drainage.


In this embodiment, sliding grooves 21 are formed in the small container 2, the two ends of the water wiper 3 are arranged in the sliding grooves 21, and the sliding grooves 21 are slanted toward a position where the mop head 4 is located close to the lower sides of the sliding grooves 21. When the mop head 4 moves downwards, the water wiper 3 moves downwards along the sliding grooves 21 and presses against the mop head 4 to squeeze water out of the mop head 4. When the mop head 4 moves upwards, the water wiper 3 is driven by the friction of the mop head 4 to move upwards along the sliding grooves 21, so that the mop head 4 is cleaned and pulled upwards.


In this embodiment, the open end of the small container 2 has an inclined plane capable of expanding an opening, the water outlet 20′ is formed in the oblique plane, and the water wiper 3 is disposed above the water outlet 20′. By arranging the inclined plane, the water wiper 3 and the water outlet 20′ are layered in the vertical direction, and water flows from the water wiper 3 to the water outlet 20′ from top to bottom. It should noted that in this embodiment, the water outlet 20′ and the water inlets 20 are located at different positions, and may also be formed in the same position if necessary.


In this embodiment, the slope 11 is cyclically undulant around the big container 1. When the small container 2 cyclically rotates, the small container 2 can also cyclically rise and fall synchronously.


In this embodiment, the slope 11 is a tilted slot which has an upper flange and a lower flange, and the upper flange is used to limit the sliding column 22.


In this embodiment, in use, water is injected into the small container 2 from the big container 1 when the small container 2 is located at a low position, and then the mop rod is operated to enable the small container 2 to rotate; when the small container 2 rises to a high position, the mop head 4 absorbs water from the small container 2 and then moves with respect to the water wiper 3, which wipes off water in the mop head 4, so that the mop head is dried.


Embodiment 2

According to another implementation of the utility model, the small container 2 is communicated with the water inlets 20 of the big container 1 by means of a hose. When the small container 2 is located at a low position, water from the big container 1 is injected into the small container 2 via the hose. By adoption of this structure, the small container 2 may be arranged beside the big container 1.


The above contents in this specification are merely for an illustrative explanation of the utility model. Various modifications, supplements or similar substitutions to the specific embodiments described above can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from these contents or going beyond the scope defined by the appended claims, and all these modifications, supplements or similar substitutions should also fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
