Abstract
A cleaning tool includes a mop which includes at a lower end a mop head with a wiping object. The mop includes a mop rod formed of an inner rod and an outer rod and a drive mechanism is used to convert the telescoping motion of the mop rod to rotation motion of the mop head. The drive mechanism is a variable speed drive mechanism. As a result, the mop head of the cleaning tool achieves different rotation speeds under dry working condition with a lower resistance compared to washing conditions with a higher resistance. During washing, the mop head is washed rotationally at a lower speed, and the washing operation is conducted through depressing the mop rod.
Claims13
A cleaning tool, comprising:
- a mop bucket and a mop, wherein a lower end of a mop rod is provided with a mop head with a wiping object, and the mop rod includes an inner rod and an outer rod;
- the inner rod, whose lower end connects with the mop head, and the outer rod are sleeved and joined with each other, and
- a drive mechanism, used to convert the telescoping motion of the mop rod to rotational motion of the mop head, is mounted between the inner rod and the outer rod;
- a rotatable drying basket is accommodated in the mop bucket, during drying, the mop head is put in the drying basket and the drive mechanism drives the mop head and the drying basket to rotate unidirectionally;
- the mop bucket is provided with a rotatable washing head on which the mop head is put during washing;
- the drive mechanism drives the mop head to rotate unidirectionally;
- wherein the drive mechanism is a variable speed drive mechanism;
- during drying, the mop rod is depressed and the variable speed drive mechanism drives the mop head to rotate at a first rotation speed;
- during washing, the mop rod is depressed at the same speed and the variable speed drive mechanism drives the mop head to rotate at a second rotation speed, wherein the first rotation speed is higher than the second rotation speed.
