Swivel mop with revolving dehydration function
View Patent ↗A swivel mop includes a handle unit, a first rotation disk, a second rotation disk, a cleaning unit, and a plurality of linking cords. The handle unit includes an outer tube, a connecting cap, and an inner post. The first rotation disk is connected with the connecting cap. The second rotation disk is driven by the inner post. The cleaning unit includes a plurality of cloth strips connected with the first rotation disk. The linking cords are connected between the second rotation disk and the cloth strips. Thus, when the second rotation disk is rotated by the inner post, the linking cords are driven by the second rotation disk to drive the cloth strips so that the cloth strips are driven toward a central portion to shorten the extent of expansion of the cloth strips during the dehydration process.
1. A swivel mop, comprising:
a handle unit, a first rotation disk, a second rotation disk, a cleaning unit, and a plurality of linking cords; wherein
the handle unit includes an outer tube, a connecting cap mounted on a lower end of the outer tube, and an inner post retractably and rotatably mounted in the outer tube and extendable outward from the connecting cap;
the first rotation disk is connected with the connecting cap of the handle unit;
the first rotation disk has a central portion provided with a mounting hole;
the mounting hole of the first rotation disk has a peripheral wall provided with an annular positioning rib;
the second rotation disk is connected with the first rotation disk;
the second rotation disk has a central portion provided with a limit hole to allow passage of the inner post of the handle unit so that the second rotation disk is driven and rotated by the inner post of the handle unit;
the second rotation disk has an outer periphery provided with a positioning portion;
the second rotation disk has a surface provided with a plurality of slides each located between the positioning portion and the limit hole;
each of the slides of the second rotation disk is connected with the positioning rib of the first rotation disk so that the second rotation disk is rotatable along the positioning rib of the first rotation disk;
the cleaning unit is connected with the first rotation disk;
the cleaning unit includes a plurality of cloth strips connected with an outer periphery of the first rotation disk and a seam line connecting the cloth strips;
the seam line of the cleaning unit is located between two opposite ends of each of the cloth strips;
the linking cords are connected between the second rotation disk and the cloth strips of the cleaning unit;
each of the linking cords has a first end connected with the positioning portion of the second rotation disk and a second end connected with a respective one of the cloth strips of the cleaning unit; and
the linking cords are extended outward from the positioning portion of the second rotation disk in a radiating manner.
2. The swivel mop of claim 1 , wherein
the inner post of the handle unit has an outer periphery provided with a plurality of guiding tracks;
the guiding tracks of the inner post are arranged in an annular manner and are equally spaced from each other;
the limit hole of the second rotation disk has an inner periphery provided with a plurality of guiding rails locked onto the guiding tracks of the inner post so that the guiding tracks of the inner post are movable upward and downward along the guiding rails of the second rotation disk; and
the guiding rails of the second rotation disk are arranged in an annular manner and are equally spaced from each other.
3. The swivel mop of claim 1 , wherein
each of the slides of the second rotation disk has a lower end provided with a stop arm resting on the positioning rib of the first rotation disk and an upper end provided with an abutting arm abutting the positioning rib of the first rotation disk;
the abutting arm of each of the slides is directed toward the positioning portion and the limit hole;
each of the slides of the second rotation disk has a side provided with a sliding channel slidably mounted on the positioning rib of the first rotation disk; and
the sliding channel of each of the slides is formed between the stop arm and the abutting arm.
4. The swivel mop of claim 1 , wherein the linking cords are connected with the cloth strips of the cleaning unit by the seam line of the cleaning unit.
5. The swivel mop of claim 1 , wherein the linking cords and the positioning portion of the second rotation disk are formed integrally by injection coating.
