Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mop dewatering machine used for cleaning.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various types of mop dehydrating devices have been commercialized, such as a foot-operated type in which a thread of a mop is sandwiched between rubber rollers, a hand-operated type, and an electric suction type. However, each has advantages and disadvantages, and the former is inexpensive, but it takes a long time to dry after wiping it loosely. Also, the latter is expensive,
There is a disadvantage that dehydration takes time. Further, washing machines for washing and dewatering the mop have also been commercialized, but it is inconvenient to carry it to the cleaning work site, and furthermore, since the mop is removed for washing and dehydration, it is often used at the time of site work. Not suitable.

[0003] For the above reasons, in the cleaning industry, mop is often still hand-drawn.
However, there are many women and elderly people who are engaged in cleaning work, and in a cleaning work in which the operation of rinsing and squeezing a mop is performed repeatedly, the squeeze tends to be loosened due to a decrease in grip strength. Furthermore, rubber gloves are often used to prevent rough hands, which promotes a decrease in grip strength.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a commercial mop dewatering machine which can be carried to a cleaning work site and can instantaneously dewater a mop.

[0004]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an outer tub having a plurality of dehydration holes around the outer tub, and a base for holding a thread of a mop inserted horizontally into a bottom portion. A dehydration tub having an inside diameter capable of being provided, at an appropriate position above the rotation axis of the dehydration tub, having an appropriate width in the vertical direction, vertically holding the handle of the mop via a hinge, and rotatably clamping. In addition, a means for rotating the mop at high speed with a motor together with the dewatering tub to perform dehydration is provided.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the first aspect, a means for sprinkling water into the dewatering tub is provided above the dewatering tub. According to this configuration,
By rotating the dewatering tank while sprinkling water, it is also possible to easily rinse the mop.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in addition to the first and second aspects, a rotating blade is installed in the dewatering tub to provide a dewatering and washing tub. A power transmission means is provided for inverting the rotating blades at a low speed during washing and rinsing, rotating the spinning tub in one direction at a high speed during spin-drying, and a means for switching between spin-drying, washing and rinsing.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. This mop dewatering machine is intended for business use which is carried to a cleaning work site and used during work. It is mainly intended for mops, but can also be used for rags and towels.

[0008]

Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a side sectional view of a mop dewatering machine according to one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a dehydration tub 2 having an inner diameter that allows a base 10 holding a mop thread 11 to be horizontally inserted into a bottom of an outer tub 1 also serving as a machine frame.
The dehydration tank 2 has a number of dehydration holes (not shown). At an appropriate position above the rotation axis of the dewatering tank 2,
Providing a support 3 having an appropriate width in the vertical direction and vertically and rotatably holding the handle of the mop via a hinge,
The mop is rotated at a high speed together with the dewatering tank 2 to perform dehydration. The pedal 7 operates the motor 6 and the brake 8, and the brake 8 is released by stepping on the pedal 7.
The power of the motor 6 is turned on and the dewatering tank 2 rotates. Pedal 7
Is released, the power of the motor 6 is turned off, the brake 8 is operated, and the rotation of the dewatering tub 2 is stopped.

[0009]

Embodiment 2 The water spout 13 is as described in claim 2, and is obtained by adding a rinsing function to the above-mentioned function.
The water supply pipe 16 is connected to the water supply, the water supply on / off valve 14 is opened by operating a button provided on the operation panel 17, and the dewatering tub 2 is rotated while water is sprinkled from the watering port 13 into the dewatering tub 2 for rinsing. Can also be performed. Operation panel 1
By operating the open / close button of the drain valve provided in 7, the drain valve can be closed, water can be stored in the outer tank, and the mop can be manually rinsed.

[0010]

[Embodiment 3] FIG. 2 is a diagram in which a washing function is added to the function of the embodiment 2, wherein a rotating blade 19 is provided at the bottom of the dewatering tub 2 and a power transmission mechanism 20 is provided below the rotating blade. Things. The operation panel 17 is provided with a switch button for washing, rinsing, and dehydration and a timer function. Also, automatic operation is possible by incorporating a control mechanism by a microcomputer. The machine is used not only during cleaning
After the work is completed, the thread of the mop can be removed and washed together.

[0011]

As described above, the present invention can be carried to the cleaning work site by the above-described structure, and the mop can be instantaneously dewatered during the cleaning work. Efficiency is improved.
