MOP STRUCTURE
An improved mop structure includes a mop stick, a connecting base, a rotating unit installed between the mop stick and the connecting base, and a cleaning unit installed at the bottom of the connecting base. The cleaning unit is integrally coupled to the connecting base by a latch element. The rotating unit includes a rotating base having a guide rail installed thereon, a rotating shaft integrally coupled with the rotating base, a position limit body slidably moved on the guide rail, an elastic element abutted against the position limit body, and a compressing element, for compressing the elastic element to increase a friction between the position limit body and the guide rail. The invention can achieve quick rotating, positioning, installing and uninstalling effects.
The present invention relates to a mop structure, in particular to a mop structure with quick rotating, positioning, installing and uninstalling effects.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONAs a mop has become an indispensable daily product for cleaning the environment of a family or a public place, almost every family or a public place has at least one mop. In a general mop comprised of a handle bar and water absorbent cloth or cotton, the water absorbent cloth or cotton are fixed and cannot be removed easily, and the mop cannot be turned easily for the dewatering purpose, and thus such mop takes more laborious effort for its use, and requires rinsing the handle bar together while rinsing the mop.
In view of the aforementioned shortcomings of the prior art, the inventor of the present invention based on years of experience in the related industry to conduct extensive researches and experiments, and finally developed an improved mop structure with a simple design to achieve the quick rotating, positioning, installing and uninstalling effects.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONTherefore, it is a primary objective of the present invention to provide an improved mop structure to achieve the quick rotating, positioning, installing and uninstalling effects.
To achieve the foregoing objective, the present invention discloses an improved mop structure, comprising: a mop stick, a connecting base, a rotating unit installed between the mop stick and the connecting base, and a cleaning unit installed at the bottom of the connecting base. The cleaning unit is integrally coupled to the connecting base by a latch element. The rotating unit includes a rotating base having a guide rail installed thereon, a rotating shaft integrally coupled with the rotating base, a position limit body slidably moved on the guide rail, an elastic element abutted against the position limit body, and a compressing element, for compressing the elastic element to increase a friction between the position limit body and the guide rail. The invention can achieve the quick rotating, positioning, installing and uninstalling effects.
To make it easier for the examiner to understand the objects, characteristics and effects of this invention, we use a preferred embodiment together with the attached drawings for the detailed description of the invention.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings.
