[0033] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used in this disclosure to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish elements of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, a first element may also be referred to as a second element, and similarly, a second element may also be referred to as a first element.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 14As shown, in some embodiments, the foot-operated trash can provided by this utility model mainly includes a bin body 100, a ratchet slider 124, a sliding component 200, a cover 300, a first connecting component 400, a first foot pedal 500, and a second foot pedal 600.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the barrel body 100 includes a bottom plate 110 and a barrel body 120 enclosed by the bottom plate 110. A first L-shaped limiting groove 121 and a second L-shaped limiting groove 122 are respectively staggered on one side plate of the barrel body 120. Above the second L-shaped limiting groove 122, a ratchet member 123 is rotatably connected to the barrel body 120.

[0036] Reference Figures 6 to 12 As shown, the ratchet slider 124 is slidably connected to the second L-shaped limiting groove 122 and is vertically corresponding to the ratchet member 123. The ratchet slider 124 slides within the second L-shaped limiting groove 122 and can cooperate with the ratchet member 123 to realize the locking and unlocking operation of the cover 300.

[0037] Continue to refer to Figures 7 to 14 As shown, the sliding assembly 200 includes a slide rail 210 disposed on the base plate 110 and a slider 220 slidably connected to the slide rail 210. The slider 220 can slide within the slide rail 210, providing power transmission and support for the opening and closing operations of the trash can.

[0038] Continue to refer to Figures 7 to 14 As shown, the lid 300 covers the upper opening of the barrel body 120 and is rotatably connected to the side of the barrel body 100 with the ratchet member 123. The lid 300 is provided with a sliding groove 310 for sliding connection with the third connecting end 430 of the first connecting assembly 400, thereby realizing the opening and closing action of the lid 300.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the first connecting assembly 400 includes a first connecting end 410, a second connecting end 420, and a third connecting end 430. The second connecting end 420 is rotatably connected to the ratchet slider 124, and the third connecting end 430 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 310. Through the connection relationship of its connecting ends, the first connecting assembly 400 transmits the action of the foot pedal to the cover 300 and the ratchet slider 124, realizing the opening and closing and fixing functions of the cover 300.

[0040] This foot-operated trash can with a lid has a first foot pedal 500 and a second foot pedal 600 corresponding to different functional areas. The front foot pedal area (light stepping area), i.e., the first foot pedal 500, is mainly responsible for high-frequency opening and closing operations, while the rear foot pedal area (deep stepping area), i.e., the second foot pedal 600, is responsible for low-frequency lid-fixing operations.

[0041] The user steps on the first foot pedal 500, which in turn activates the second connecting piece 510, the first connecting assembly 400, and the cover 300. Figure 4 Combination Figure 8 As shown, the opening angle of the lid relative to the barrel 100 is less than 90° (releasing the first foot pedal 500 will reset and close the lid).

[0042] If the user needs the trash can to have its lid fixed, the user needs to step on the first foot pedal 500 and the second foot pedal 600 at the same time. After the first foot pedal 500 is activated by the above-mentioned linkage action, the second foot pedal 600 is activated by the third connecting piece 610 and the ratchet slider 124 to engage with the ratchet piece 123, so that the lid 300 is in the top cover state relative to the bin body 100.

[0043] Continue to refer to Figures 6 to 14 As shown, the first foot pedal 500 is hinged to the base plate 110 and rotatably connected to the first connecting end 410 via the second connecting member 510. The second foot pedal 600 is also hinged to the base plate 110 and connected to the slider 220 via the third connecting member 610. The two foot pedals can be connected to the base plate via hinge components.

[0044] Continue to refer to Figures 6 to 14 As shown, the second connecting member 510 and the base plate 110 are connected by a first elastic member 520 in a relaxed state. The first elastic member 520 has a translational top surface 521, and a first limiting block 522 and a second limiting block 523 are respectively provided on both sides of the translational top surface 521. The second connecting member 510 is located on the translational top surface 521 and is displaced between the first limiting block 522 and the second limiting block 523. The first elastic member 520 provides a restoring force to the first foot pedal 500, so that it can automatically return to its initial position after the foot pedal is released.

[0045] Reference Figures 2 to 14 As shown, the second foot pedal 600 has a second sliding groove 310 on one side corresponding to the slider 220. The first end of the third connecting piece 610 is slidably connected to the second sliding groove 310, and the second end is fixedly connected to the slider 220. When the lid 300 is closed on the barrel body 120, there is a gap between the second foot pedal 600 and the bottom plate 110. This structural design allows the second foot pedal 600 to slide under the action of the slider 220, thereby realizing the lid fixing and resetting operations.

[0046] Reference Figures 6 to 7 As shown, the sliding assembly 200 also includes a second elastic element 230, which is disposed on the inner side of the end of the slide rail 210. The slider 220 is disposed corresponding to the portion of the second elastic element 230 inside the slide rail 210. The second elastic element 230 provides a restoring force to the slider 220, enabling it to automatically return to its initial position after completing the capping or reset operation.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the first connecting assembly 400 also includes a first connecting member 440 and a universal rotating member 450. The first connecting member 440 is connected to the first connecting end 410 and the second connecting end 420 respectively, and the first connecting member 440 and the third connecting end 430 are connected by the universal rotating member 450. This structural design allows the first connecting assembly 400 to flexibly transmit the movement of the foot pedal, realizing the opening and closing and fixing functions of the cover 300.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 As shown, a limiting portion 221 is provided at one end of the slider 220. The limiting portion 221 and the slider 220 are located on the same side. The third connector 610 and the slider 220 are rotatably connected, and the limiting portion 221 is located inside the limiting portion 221. The limiting portion 221 can limit the rotation range of the third connector 610, ensuring its stable connection with the slider 220, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the entire trash can. Figure 2 The embodiment employs a U-shaped groove-shaped limiting portion 221, within a limited space, referring to Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the first connecting piece 440 (moving up and down) that links the first pedal piece 500 in the front area and the first connecting piece 440 (moving left and right) that links the second pedal piece 600 in the rear area can move synchronously (moving to the right as a whole when pedaling deeply) and can also move independently (when pedaling only in the front area, the first connecting piece 440 can move freely up and down in the first L-shaped limiting groove 121 and the second L-shaped limiting groove 122).

[0049] Reference Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the first foot pedal 500 and the second foot pedal 600 are hinged to the base plate 110 through the same axis, with the first foot pedal 500 surrounding the second foot pedal 600. This structural design allows the user to conveniently step on the first foot pedal 500 and the second foot pedal 600 simultaneously so that they can work together to achieve multiple functions of the trash can.

[0050] Reference Figures 4 to 5 As shown, it also includes: a middle frame component 900, which is disposed at the upper opening of the barrel body 120; the pivot component 320 and the ratchet component 123 are connected to the middle frame component 900. The lid 300 is rotatably connected to the upper opening side edge of the barrel body 120 via the pivot component 320, and the pivot component is laterally disposed on the barrel body 120 corresponding to the position of the ratchet component 123. This structural design allows the lid 300 to rotate flexibly to realize opening and closing operations, and at the same time, it cooperates with the ratchet component 123 to realize the lid fixing function.

[0051] In practical use, users can choose different foot pedal methods to achieve different functions of the trash can as needed. For example, when quick opening of the lid is required, the user only needs to lightly step on the front foot pedal area (i.e., step on the first foot pedal 500), which opens the lid 300 through the second connecting piece 510 and the first connecting component 400. Figure 10 As shown, the first connecting end 410 of the first connector 440 is at the end of the transverse portion of the first L-shaped limiting groove 121. Similarly, the second connecting end 420 of the first connector 440 is at the end of the transverse portion of the second L-shaped limiting groove 122. The opening angle of the cover 300 is less than 90°. After releasing the first foot pedal 500, the first foot pedal 500 resets, and the cover 300 closes automatically. When the cover needs to be fixed, the user presses the rear foot pedal area deeply (i.e., presses the second foot pedal 600) (or presses the first foot pedal 500 and the second foot pedal 600 simultaneously), locking the first connecting component 400. The linkage slider 220 moves to the right of the slide rail 210 by one stroke, pushing the ratchet slider 124 into the ratchet 123 on the cover 300. At the same time, refer to... Figure 11 As shown, the first connecting end 410 of the first connector 440 is at the end of the vertical portion of the first L-shaped limiting groove 121. Similarly, the second connecting end 420 of the first connector 440 is at the end of the vertical portion of the second L-shaped limiting groove 122, thus achieving a fixed cover. In the fixed cover state, when the user lightly steps on the rear foot pedal area (i.e., steps on the second foot pedal 600), the slider 220 moves to the left to reset under the action of the second elastic member 230, while simultaneously locking the first connecting assembly 400 to move to the right a second time, releasing the lock between the ratchet slider 124 and the ratchet member 123, and the cover 300 automatically closes. Similarly, refer to... Figure 9 As shown, the first connecting end 410 of the first connector 440 is reset to the end of the transverse portion of the first L-shaped limiting groove 121, and the second connecting end 420 of the first connector 440 is reset to the end of the transverse portion of the second L-shaped limiting groove 122.

[0052] This utility model's foot-operated trash can, through the design of a zoned foot pedal and lid-fixing linkage mechanism, achieves a "lid-fixing-closing" cyclic control function, improving the ease of use and practicality of the foot-operated trash can and solving the shortcomings of existing foot-operated trash cans in terms of lid opening and fixing functions. The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. This utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this disclosure, as long as they achieve the technical effects of this utility model by the same means, should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure and should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
