Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sanitation equipment, and in particular to a flip cover device and a trash can with the device. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, public trash cans are mainly divided into two types: those without flaps and those with flaps. Although trash cans without flaps are convenient for dumping trash, the trash in the trash can and the unpleasant odors generated are easily blown and spread by the wind, polluting the environment; the surfaces of the flip-top trash cans are completely closed, and the flaps must be opened to put the trash in the trash can. When opening the trash can lid, human hands are easily contaminated with bacteria and cause diseases. Some people even put trash on the top of the trash can lid. Once the trash can lid is opened, the trash will fall to the ground, causing trouble for sanitation workers. At the same time, if it is not cleaned in time, it will not only pollute the environment but also cause trouble to other people who put out trash, making it inconvenient to put out trash. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention aims at the deficiencies in the prior art and provides a flip cover device with reasonable structure and convenient placement.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a flip cover device comprises a box body and an upper cover, the box body comprises a fixedly connected rear wall and two parallel side walls and a box door hinged with the side walls, and the upper end of the side wall adjacent to the box door is provided with a guide groove; the upper cover comprises upper cover side panels at both ends and a first cover plate and a second cover plate arranged at an angle, the upper cover is hinged to the box body through the first cover plate, and the second cover plate is provided with a loading port; a controllable gas spring is located inside the box body and its two ends are respectively fixed on the first cover plate and the rear wall of the box body, and the controllable gas spring switch is installed on the second cover plate; retractable support rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the box body, one end of the retractable support rods is fixed on the side wall adjacent to the box door, and the other end is fixed on the upper cover side panel; one end of the guide rod is fixed to the end of the upper cover side panel, and the other end is inserted in the guide groove.

[0005] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention controls the operation of the controllable gas spring through a controllable gas spring switch and combines with a retractable support rod to realize opening or closing of the upper cover, and the controllable gas spring can stop at any position, so that the upper cover can be opened to any suitable position as needed, meeting the requirements of different installation spaces; the controllable gas spring is combined with the retractable support rod to form three fulcrums, which increases the stability when opening the upper cover and can prevent the upper cover from automatically closing when subjected to external force, thereby avoiding squeezing of human hands; at the same time, the guide rod is used to slide in the guide groove, thereby improving the stability of the upper cover and the box body, avoiding left and right swinging.

[0006] On the basis of the above technical solution, in order to achieve the convenience of use and the stability of the equipment, the present invention can also make the following improvements to the above technical solution:

[0007] Furthermore, when the upper cover is closed, the first cover is in a horizontal state, and the angle δ between the first cover and the second cover is 30°. By tilting the second cover toward the direction of delivery, it is convenient to deliver the object into the delivery port.

[0008] Furthermore, the guide groove is elliptical or rectangular. Setting the guide groove to be a longer elliptical or rectangular shape can increase the distance that the guide rod moves in the guide groove, so as to be suitable for occasions where the upper cover is opened to a greater height.

[0009] Furthermore, the delivery port is oval, circular, square or rectangular. The delivery port corresponds to the opening of the device placed in the box. The delivery port is set to the above shape, which has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0010] Furthermore, the number of the delivery openings is at least 1. When multiple opening devices are placed in the box or a device has multiple openings, multiple delivery openings corresponding to the openings need to be provided.

[0011] Furthermore, the controllable gas spring switch is installed on the inner end surface of the second cover plate, and the box door is provided with a lock. By providing a lock on the box door, the device in the box can be taken out smoothly only when the lock is opened, which can avoid the loss of the device installed in the box.

[0012] Furthermore, the box body includes a bottom plate, and a partition bar is provided on the bottom plate between the delivery ports. By providing the partition bar on the bottom plate, the device placed in the box body can be guided and the opening of the device can be ensured to correspond to the delivery port, thereby ensuring that the object is correctly delivered into the opening of the device.

[0013] The present invention also includes a trash can, characterized in that it includes the flip cover device as described above.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the trash can solves the problem that the trash in the trash can without a flip cover is easy to fly up and pollute the environment, and the ordinary trash can with a flip cover is inconvenient to put the trash in.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a flip cover device includes a box body 1 and an upper cover 2, wherein the box body 1 includes a fixedly connected rear wall 1-2 and two parallel side walls 1-3 and a box door 1-4 hinged to the side walls 1-3, and the upper end of the side wall 1-3 adjacent to the box door 1-4 is provided with a guide groove 1-3-1; the upper cover 2 includes upper cover side plates 2-4 at both ends and a first cover plate 2-1 and a second cover plate 2-2 arranged at an angle, the upper cover 2 is hinged to the box body 1 through the first cover plate 2-1, and the second cover plate 2-2 is provided with a loading port 2-3; the controllable gas spring 3 is located inside the box body 1 and its two ends are respectively fixed on the first cover plate 2-1 and the rear wall 1-2 of the box body 1, and the controllable gas spring switch 3-1 is installed on the second cover plate 2-2; the telescopic support rod 4 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the box body 1, one end of the telescopic support rod 4 is fixed on the side wall 1-3 adjacent to the box door 1-4, and the other end is fixed on the upper cover side plate 2-4; one end of the guide rod 5 is fixed to the end of the upper cover side plate 2-4, and the other end is inserted in the guide groove 1-3-1.

[0023] The controllable gas spring 3 is an important mechanical device that can play the functions of support, buffering, height adjustment, etc. It has the advantages of little power change and easy control, thereby improving the safety of the flip cover device. The first cover plate 2-1 and the second cover plate 2-2 are set at a certain angle, which makes it easier for the telescopic support rod 4 and the controllable gas spring 3 to lift the upper cover plate 2 and facilitate the placement of objects into the box body 1. The telescopic support rod 4 can be a hydraulic support rod or a pneumatic support rod.

[0024] By fixing the two ends of the hinge to the rear wall 1-2 of the box body 1 and the first cover plate 2-1 respectively, the two are hinged together, so that the upper cover 2 can be opened or closed along the hinge.

[0025] The two ends of the controllable gas spring 3 are respectively mounted on the first cover plate 2-1 and the rear wall 1-2 of the box body 1 through fixings, so that the controllable gas spring 3 is tilted toward the opening direction, and the two ends of the symmetrically arranged telescopic support rod 4 are fixed on the upper cover side plate 2-4 and the side wall 1-3 of the box body 1, so that the supportable telescopic rod 4 is tilted toward the direction opposite to the opening, and the controllable gas spring 3 and the two parallel supportable telescopic rods 4 form a three-point support, thereby increasing the stability of the flip cover device. One end of the telescopic support rod 4 can also be fixed on the second cover plate 2-2 as needed.

[0026] When the upper cover 2 is closed, the first cover plate 2-1 is in a horizontal state, and the angle δ between the first cover plate 2-1 and the second cover plate 2-2 is 30°. The angle δ can also be set between 30° and 60° according to the use requirements. Two hollow protrusions are formed on the upper cover side plate 2-4 on the opposite side where the upper cover 2 and the box body 1 are closed, so as to form a certain space in the upper cover 2, which is convenient for the retractable support 4 to be fixed on the upper cover side plate 2-4, and the formed protrusions are located on both sides of the delivery port 2-3, which have a certain wind blocking effect.

[0027] The guide groove 1-3-1 is elliptical or rectangular. When the telescopic support rod 4 is fully extended, it is the maximum distance for the upper cover to be opened. After the upper cover is opened, the objects in the box 1 can be taken out freely, and the extension length of the telescopic support rod 4 can be set according to the height of the objects placed in the box. The distance that the guide rod 5 moves in the guide groove 1-3-1 should be sufficient to fully extend the telescopic support rod 4, so the guide groove 1-3-1 is set to be a long strip.

[0028] The delivery opening 2-3 is oval, circular, square or rectangular. The delivery opening 2-3 can be set to a shape that is convenient for delivery as needed.

[0029] The number of the delivery ports 2-3 is at least 1. A plurality of delivery ports can be provided according to the needs of use to improve the delivery efficiency.

[0030] The controllable gas spring switch 3-1 is installed on the inner end surface of the second cover plate 2-2, and the box door 1-4 is provided with a lock 1-4-1. When in use, the lock 1-4-1 is first opened, and then the controllable gas spring switch 3-1 is opened, and the upper cover 2 is opened to take out the objects in the box body 1. The structure of adding the lock 1-4-1 can prevent the objects or devices in the box body 1 from being lost.

[0031] The box body 1 includes a bottom plate 1-1, and a partition bar 1-1-1 is provided on the bottom plate 1-1 between the delivery ports 2-3. The corresponding partition bar 1-1-1 can be set according to the number of objects placed in the box body 1. The partition bar 1-1-1 can be in the shape of a long strip, and the partition bar 1-1-1 can be set to a certain height to form a partition in the box body 1, so that a plurality of separated spaces are formed in the box body.

[0032] The invention also discloses a clean, sanitary and convenient trash can;

[0033] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a trash can is disclosed, which has a trash can handle and also includes the flip cover device as described above.

[0034] The present invention works as follows: first, the box door 1-4 and the controllable gas spring switch 1-3-1 are opened, the controllable gas spring 3 and the telescopic support rod 4 are opened, the upper cover 2 is lifted up, and the height of the upper cover 2 opening is set according to the height of the trash can 6, so that the trash can 6 can be freely placed in the box body 1; then the controllable gas spring 3 and the telescopic support rod 4 are closed by the controllable gas spring switch 1-3-1, the upper cover 2 is closed, and the box door 1-4 is closed; the telescopic support rod 4 mainly plays a supporting role, so it can be opened or closed at the same time as the controllable gas spring 3. When the garbage in the trash can 6 needs to be dumped, the controllable gas spring switch 1-3-1 is opened again, so that the controllable gas spring 3 and the telescopic support rod 4 open the upper cover 2, and the box door 1-4 is opened, and the trash can 6 is taken out from the box door 1-4. The controllable gas spring switch 3-1 can be set inside the box body 1 and the box door 1-4 can be locked with a lock 1-4-1 as needed to prevent the trash can from being lost. Since the trash can 6 is located inside the flip cover device, the trash in the trash can 6 can be prevented from being blown away by the wind, thereby preventing the environment from being polluted. The flip cover device is provided with a delivery port 2-3 corresponding to the opening of the trash can 6, thereby ensuring that the trash can be delivered to the trash can 6. During the delivery process, people do not need to touch the trash can by hand, and the trash delivery is convenient and hygienic. The trash can 6 can be a commonly used trash can on the market, which is easy to obtain and has a wide range of applications.

[0035] At the same time, the trash can with the flip cover device can be placed in the trash station 7. A rotating nozzle 8 is provided above the trash station 7 for spraying disinfectant into the trash station 7. A human-computer interaction module 9 is provided on the side of the trash station 7.
