Abstract

The present invention provides a handheld sweeping and mopping structure, comprising a handle and a body shell, wherein a sweeping and mopping module, a water tank module, a driving module, a garbage collection module, a control module and a power supply module are provided inside the body shell. The handheld sweeping and mopping structure of the present invention can sweep the floor and also mop the floor, has higher efficiency and better effect than the conventional sweeping and mopping mode; and meanwhile, a disposable garbage box which is convenient to replace is used, and it is unnecessary to clean the garbage box repeatedly.

Claims (15)

1. A handheld sweeping and mopping structure, comprising a handle and a body shell, wherein a lower part of the handle is connected to the body shell via a universal joint, and a sweeping and mopping module, a water tank module, a driving module, a garbage collection module, a control module and a power supply module are provided inside the body shell;

the sweeping and mopping module comprises a sponge roller and a water sink rod, wherein the sponge roller is driven to rotate by the driving module fixed inside the body shell, the water sink rod is further provided inside the body shell, the water sink rod is tightly attached to the sponge roller, and a cleaning sink is formed on a contact surface of the water sink rod with the sponge roller;

the water tank module comprises a clean water tank, a waste water tank, a water supply means, a water pumping means and an intermediate connector, wherein the clean water tank and the waste water tank are mounted at two ends of the intermediate connector, the clean water tank is connected to the water supply means arranged outside the intermediate connector, the water supply means is used for pumping clean water in the clean water tank to the cleaning sink, the waste water tank is connected to the water pumping means arranged outside the intermediate connector, and the water pumping means is used for pumping waste water in the cleaning sink to the waste water tank;

the driving module comprises a driving motor, an output end of which is connected to the sponge roller;

the garbage collection module comprises a garbage box and a garbage box cover, wherein an accommodation port for allowing the garbage box to be inserted therein is formed on a side face of the body shell, the garbage box is provided behind the sponge roller and a shovel strip is provided below an opening of the garbage box directly facing the sponge roller, the garbage box cover is further mounted above the garbage box, a row of hairbrushes are further provided on the garbage box cover, the hairbrushes are fitted with the sponge roller and used for cleaning the sponge roller, and a disposable garbage box is further provided in the garbage box;

the control module comprises a PCB control board, wherein the PCB control board is mounted within the body shell and is connected to the driving module and the water tank module, and the PCB control board is used for controlling the turn-on or turn-off of the driving module and the water tank module; and

the power supply module comprises a battery used for supplying power to the driving module and the control module.

2. The handheld sweeping and mopping structure according to claim 1 , wherein the water supply means comprises a water-pump inlet pipe, a water pump and a clean water outlet pipe, wherein the water-pump inlet pipe is communicated with the clean water tank, the water pump is disposed between the clean water outlet pipe and the water-pump inlet pipe, and the clean water outlet pipe is provided at one end of the cleaning sink; and

the water pumping means includes an air-pump inlet pipe, an air pump, an air-pump outlet pipe and a waste water inlet pipe, wherein the air-pump inlet pipe is communicated with the waste water tank, the air pump is disposed between the air-pump inlet pipe and the air-pump outlet pipe, the waste water tank is further connected to the waste water inlet pipe, and the waste water inlet pipe is provided at the other end of the cleaning sink away from the clean water outlet pipe.

3. The handheld sweeping and mopping structure according to claim 2 , wherein a waste water inlet is formed at a junction of the waste water inlet pipe with the waste water tank, and an anti-backflow means is further provided within the waste water tank; the anti-backflow means comprises a support and a water blocking sheet; the water blocking sheet is a bendable light-weight elastic sheet; the support is used for fixing the water blocking sheet at the waste water inlet; and, a clearance is reserved between the water blocking sheet and the waste water inlet, so that water in the waste water inlet pipe can enter the waste water tank after the water pumping means is activated, and the water blocking sheet can cover the waste water inlet after the water pumping means is deactivated.

4. The handheld sweeping and mopping structure according to claim 1 , wherein the disposable garbage box is made from waterproof paper.

5. The handheld sweeping and mopping structure according to claim 1 , wherein the body shell comprises an upper cover and a lower cover; an upper turnover cover capable of being opened or closed is provided on a surface of the upper cover; the upper turnover cover is located directly above the cleaning sink; a lower turnover cover capable of being opened or closed is further provided on the lower cover of the body shell; and, the lower turnover cover is located directly below the sponge roller, and the sponge roller can be taken out from the lower turnover cover after the lower turnover cover is opened.

6. The handheld sweeping and mopping structure according to claim 1 , wherein a front baffle is further provided outside the body shell and is connected to the body shell through a number of buffer springs.

7. The handheld sweeping and mopping structure according to claim 1 , wherein a control switch connected to the PCB control board is provided on the handle.

8. The handheld sweeping and mopping structure according to claim 1 , wherein auxiliary roller wheels capable of rotating relative to the body shell are provided around a lower surface of the body shell.
