A cleaning device for a floor mopping machine comprises a bucket body for containing water, wherein a water removal member and a water feeding mechanism for conveying water from the bucket body to a wiping object of a floor mopping machine are arranged in the bucket body. During cleaning, the water feeding mechanism runs to convey water to the wiping object; and when water is removed, the water feeding mechanism stops running, and the wiping object of the floor mopping machine is wiped with the water removal member. Power of the water feeding mechanism is used for water feeding, and a wiping head is automatically cleaned, and can be wiped dry without any other operation after being cleaned; and the cleaning device is simple in structure, portable to use, less prone to damage and can be freely switched between a cleaning mode and a wipe-drying mode.

A mop self-lifting cleaning tool includes a mop and a mop bucket. The mop head of the mop includes a fixed plate and a lifting plate. The fixed plate is connected to the mop rod. The lifting plate is connected to the fixed plate. A gap is provided between the lifting plate and the fixed plate, where the gap is increasingly smaller from the center of the lifting plate to the periphery of the lifting plate. A drive member is located in the gap. When the drive member is located at an end with a larger space of the gap, the lifting plate is located at a low position; and when the mop head rotates, the drive member is configured to move toward the periphery under an action of a centrifugal force and drive the gap to increase so as to elevate the lifting plate to a high position.
