Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of trash can technology, specifically a foot-operated outdoor plastic trash can. Background Technology

[0002] Foot-operated trash cans are a common daily and public facility. Using the lever principle, users can open the lid by stepping on the pedal, avoiding direct contact between their hands and the trash can. They are convenient and hygienic, and are therefore widely used in homes, offices and outdoor public places.

[0003] An existing patent (authorization announcement number: CN217171875U) discloses an outdoor plastic trash can that is not easy to tip over. The key technical points of the solution are: using a rotary foot switch to open and close the lid, changing the back-type pull rod structure to an internal lifting lid opening structure, and changing the force center of gravity of the lifting rod structure from the back of the can to the front to the inside of the can for vertical force transmission, avoiding the situation of tilting and tipping over when placed forward, adapting to more ground and placement environments, not requiring a base for fixation, and having a more stable placement structure.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned technical solutions still have certain shortcomings. Traditional foot-operated trash cans often lack an effective locking mechanism to ensure the lid is tightly closed. In outdoor environments, during windy weather, the lid is easily blown open, causing trash to be exposed and scattered. At the same time, it cannot effectively prevent small animals from opening the lid and rummaging through the trash, causing environmental pollution and increasing the burden of cleaning and maintenance. Therefore, a foot-operated outdoor plastic trash can is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a foot-operated outdoor plastic trash can to solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A foot-operated outdoor plastic trash can includes a collection bin, the bottom of which is provided with a caster wheel with a brake lock, and an opening and closing assembly is installed on the side of the collection bin. A limiting assembly is installed on the vertical side of the opening and closing assembly, the limiting assembly including a lid, and a locking assembly for locking the inner bin is provided on the opposite side of the opening and closing assembly. The opening and closing assembly includes a first locking strip slidably disposed inside the bucket lid. An abutment block is fixedly installed at one end of the first locking strip away from the inside of the bucket lid. A transmission rod extends from the bottom of the abutment block at the connection position with the first locking strip. A pedal is connected to the lower end of the transmission rod. A connecting part is provided on the side of the bucket lid. There are two sets of connecting parts, and a rotating shaft is provided through the center of the two sets of connecting parts. A set of locking caps is threaded to each end of the rotating shaft.

[0007] Based on the above technical solutions, this utility model also provides the following optional technical solutions: As a further embodiment of this utility model: the limiting component includes a second locking strip that is slidably installed inside the bucket lid, and a locking block is provided at the end of the second locking strip away from the bucket lid, and a locking seat is inserted into the bottom end of the locking block.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the locking assembly includes a semi-circular barrel slidably installed on the inner wall of the collection bucket, a handle is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the semi-circular barrel, a locking block is fixedly installed on the side of the collection bucket near the handle, the locking block has a groove for easy sliding of the limiting strip, and the limiting strip and the locking block are connected by a spring.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the first and second locking strips inside the bucket lid are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the bucket lid.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the opening and closing components, the limiting components, and the locking components are arranged symmetrically in two sets along the axis of the collection bucket.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the inner wall of the collection bucket is provided with a partition plate for separating the two sets of semi-circular buckets.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model, by setting up opening and closing components and limiting components, guides and locks on both sides, allowing the lid to fall smoothly when closed without swaying from side to side. This ensures a tighter fit between the lid and the bucket body, helping to reduce odor leakage and effectively preventing excessive rainwater infiltration. The symmetrical locking on both sides firmly fixes both edges of the lid, ensuring even distribution of locking force, improving overall locking strength, and preventing strong outdoor winds and animals such as cats and dogs from prying open the lid from either side.

[0015] 2. This utility model prevents incompletely extinguished cigarette butts from being thrown into the main garbage bin filled with flammable waste such as paper scraps and plastics by setting side bags on the outside of the collection bin. The independent side bags physically isolate cigarette butts from other garbage, and the side bags themselves are made of fireproof and high-temperature resistant materials, reducing the risk of fire in the entire garbage bin.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, a foot-operated outdoor plastic trash can includes a collection bin 1. The bottom of the collection bin 1 is provided with a universal wheel 2 with a brake lock. An opening and closing component 3 is installed on the side of the collection bin 1. A limiting component 4 is installed on the vertical side of the opening and closing component 3. The limiting component 4 includes a bin lid 41. The opening and closing component 3 is provided with a locking component 5 for locking the inner bin at the position directly opposite the collection bin 1. In this embodiment, the lid 41 covers the top of the collection bin 1. The user steps down on the pedal 31 at the bottom of the opening and closing assembly 3 to open and close the lid 41. The lid 41 is limited by the limiting assembly 4 to prevent animals from flipping it out. At the same time, the inner bin is locked by the locking assembly 5 to prevent the inner bin from flipping out when the trash can is emptied.

[0020] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the opening and closing assembly 3 includes a first engaging strip 33 slidably disposed inside the lid 41. An abutment block 32 is fixedly installed at one end of the first engaging strip 33 away from the inside of the lid 41. A transmission rod extends from the bottom of the connection point between the abutment block 32 and the first engaging strip 33. A pedal 31 is connected to the lower end of the transmission rod. A connecting part 34 is provided on the side of the lid 41. Two sets of connecting parts 34 are provided, and a rotating shaft 35 is disposed through the center of each of the two sets of connecting parts 34. The two ends of the rotating shaft 35... Each end is threaded with a set of snap-fit ​​caps 36; the bucket lid 41 is installed on the collection bucket 1 via a rotating shaft 35 and is in a closed state. The first snap-fit ​​strip 33 is engaged with the bucket body to keep the bucket lid 41 closed. When the user steps down on the pedal 31, the pedal 31 is subjected to force, which drives the transmission rod to move upward. The upper end of the transmission rod pushes the abutment block 32, which in turn pushes the first snap-fit ​​strip 33 fixed to the abutment block 32. The first snap-fit ​​strip 33 drives the bucket lid 41 to rotate along the rotating shaft 35, helping the bucket lid 41 to open and close.

[0021] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the limiting component 4 includes a second engaging strip 42 slidably installed inside the bucket lid 41. An engaging block 43 is provided at the end of the second engaging strip 42 away from the bucket lid 41. A locking seat 44 is inserted into the bottom end of the engaging block 43. The shape of the locking seat 44 matches the shape of the engaging block 43. The first engaging strip 33 and the second engaging strip 42 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bucket lid 41. When the bucket lid 41 is closed, not only will the first engaging strip 33 engage with the corresponding component, but the engaging block 43 at the front end of the second engaging strip 42 will also engage. The first locking strip 33 and the second locking strip 42 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the lid 41. When the user steps on the pedal 31, the power is transmitted through the transmission rod, pushing the first locking strip 33 to slide upward, so that its front end is released from the lock. At this time, the lid 41 can be removed, and the lid 41 is released from the restriction of the second locking strip 42. The double-sided symmetrical locking firmly fixes both edges of the lid 41, so that the locking force is evenly distributed. This is used to resist strong outdoor winds and prevent animals such as cats and dogs from prying open the lid 41 from either side.

[0022] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the locking assembly 5 includes a semi-circular barrel 51 slidably installed on the inner wall of the collection bin 1. A handle 52 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the semi-circular barrel 51. A locking block 53 is fixedly installed on the side of the collection bin 1 near the handle 52. A groove is opened in the locking block 53 to facilitate the sliding of the limiting strip 55. The limiting strip 55 and the locking block 53 are connected by a spring 54. A partition plate is provided on the inner wall of the collection bin 1 to separate two sets of semi-circular barrels 51. The two semi-circular barrels 51 are placed side by side inside the collection bin 1. Under the action of the tension or push of the spring 54, the limiting strip 55 is stably held at the end of the groove. At this time, the semi-circular barrel 51 is firmly positioned and will not accidentally come out when moving or using the trash can. The cleaner holds the handle 52 and lifts it upward. The upward lifting force causes the limiting strip 55 to slide upward along the groove on the locking block 53. When the limiting strip 55 slides to the top of the groove, the maximum stroke is reached. At this point, the user can tilt the semi-circular bucket 51 outwards to completely remove it from the collection bucket 1 and empty the garbage.

[0023] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the opening and closing component 3, the limiting component 4, and the locking component 5 are symmetrically arranged in two sets along the axis of the collection bin 1. The opening and closing component 3, the limiting component 4, and the locking component 5 are all set in two parts. Then, with the central axis of the collection bin 1 as the axis of symmetry, one set is installed on each of the left and right sides of the bin. The two sets of locking components 5 symmetrically arranged naturally correspond to two independent semi-circular bins 51, which support the classification of dry and wet waste or recyclable waste and other waste. Users can deposit the corresponding type of waste from either side, and sanitation workers can also take out the inner bin of a specific type from either side for cleaning.

[0024] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, a side bag 6 for collecting cigarette butts can be detachably hung on the front exterior of the collection bin 1. The side bag 6 is directly hung on the front exterior of the bin body via a buckle structure. When the cigarette butts in the side bag 6 accumulate to a certain amount, the cleaning staff can easily remove the entire side bag 6, pour the cigarette butts into the garbage collection truck, and then hang it back in its original position. Cigarette butts that are not completely extinguished are thrown into the main garbage bin filled with flammable garbage such as paper scraps and plastics, which is a well-known fire hazard. The independent side bag 6 physically isolates the cigarette butts from other garbage. The side bag 6 itself is also made of fireproof and high-temperature resistant materials, which reduces the risk of fire in the entire garbage bin.

[0025] The above embodiment discloses a foot-operated outdoor plastic trash can. When a user steps on the pedal 31 from either side, the pedal 31, via a transmission rod, pushes the first locking strip 33 of the opening / closing assembly 3 to slide, releasing the first locking mechanism on that side. Simultaneously, this movement, through the lid 41, links to the limiting assembly 4 on the other side, causing the second locking strip 42 to move upwards, releasing the second locking mechanism. When the lid 41 returns to its original position, the locking block 43 re-inserts into the locking seat 44. Cleaning personnel can easily move the trash can using the omnidirectional wheels 2 with brake locks at the bottom. Simply step on the brake when fixing the bin. The bin contains a partition and two semi-circular bins 51, which form a dry and wet waste sorting space. Users can throw their waste from different directions according to the markings. Cleaning staff can lift the handle 52 on the locking assembly 5, causing the limiting strip 55 to slide in the groove and compress the spring 54, so that the corresponding semi-circular bin 51 can be tilted out and the waste emptied. After emptying, the semi-circular bin 51 is put back, and it can automatically reset and lock under the action of the spring 54. Smokers can put cigarette butts into the detachable fireproof side bag 6 on the front of the bin, which will be collected by cleaning staff.

[0026] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
