Abstract

A bucket for cleaning a flat mop, includes a bucket body; and bucket cap covered on the bucket body. The bucket body has a squeezing section in middle thereof, and a clean water section and a drainage section provided on both sides of the squeezing section, respectively. The squeezing section includes a mop rod receiving cavity and a mop head receiving cavity in communication with the mop rod receiving cavity. The clean water section is adjacent to the mop rod receiving cavity, and a flowing hole is located between the clean water section and the mop rod receiving cavity, and the drainage section is adjacent to the mop head receiving cavity. The bucket cap also has a controlling valve component adjacent to the flowing hole, and the controlling valve component controls the clean water in the clean water section to flow into the squeezing section via the flowing hole.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bucket for cleaning a flat mop, comprising a bucket body; and bucket cap covered on the bucket body; wherein the bucket body is provided with a squeezing section in middle thereof, and a clean water section and a drainage section provided on both sides of the squeezing section, respectively; the squeezing section comprises a mop rod receiving cavity and a mop head receiving cavity in communication with the mop rod receiving cavity; the clean water section is adjacent to the mop rod receiving cavity, and a flowing hole is defined between the clean water section and the mop rod receiving cavity; and the drainage section is adjacent to the mop head receiving cavity; the bucket cap is provided with a controlling valve component adjacent to the flowing hole, and the controlling valve component controls the clean water in the clean water section to flow into the squeezing section via the flowing hole. 
     
     
         2 . The bucket for cleaning the flat mop of  claim 1 , wherein a bottom surface of the mop rod receiving cavity is higher than a bottom surface of the mop head receiving cavity. 
     
     
         3 . The bucket for cleaning the flat mop of  claim 1 , wherein an overflow groove is defined on a sidewall of the squeezing section adjacent to the drainage section. 
     
     
         4 . The bucket for cleaning the flat mop of  claim 1 , wherein a first blocking plate and a second blocking plate are provided between the drainage section and the clean water section, the first blocking plate is connected to an end of the mop rod receiving cavity adjacent to the clean water section, and the second blocking plate is connected to an end of the mop head receiving cavity adjacent to the drainage section. 
     
     
         5 . The bucket for cleaning the flat mop of  claim 1 , wherein the controlling valve component comprises an adjusting rotary knob provided on the bucket cap, a valve spool connected to the adjusting rotary knob, and a sealing plug mounted on the valve spool, an end of the valve spool is mounted to a bottom of the clean water section, and the sealing plug plugs on the flowing hole. 
     
     
         6 . The bucket for cleaning the flat mop of  claim 1 , wherein a squeezing device and a pulley received in the mop head receiving cavity are mounted on the bucket cap, and the squeezing device is opposite to the pulley. 
     
     
         7 . The bucket for cleaning the flat mop of  claim 6 , wherein the squeezing device comprises a water diverting plate, a diverting rod mounted on an end of the water diverting plate, and a jagged scraping plate above the water diverting plate, a gap is formed between the water diverting plate and the jagged scraping plate, and the diverting rod is slidably mounted on the bucket cap. 
     
     
         8 . The bucket for cleaning the flat mop of  claim 7 , wherein the water diverting plate comprises a tilted end, and the tilted end extends away from the jagged scraping plate. 
     
     
         9 . The bucket for cleaning the flat mop of  claim 7 , wherein extending lines of the water diversing plate and the jagged scraping plate form an angle ranging from 30°-50°. 
     
     
         10 . The bucket for cleaning the flat mop of  claim 7 , wherein the bucket cap comprises a tilted surface above the jagged scraping plate, and a plurality of discharge holes a defined on the tilted surface.
