Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to trash cans. Background Technology

[0002] Existing patent literature discloses a smart trash can, including a can body with a top opening. A ring-shaped top cover fixing frame is located on the top opening, and a top cover is mounted on top of the top cover fixing frame. A trash bag holder for folding and storing unbroken trash bags and a sealing and cutting device are fixedly mounted within the top cover fixing frame. The sealing and cutting device is located below the trash bag holder. The can body also includes a suction device electrically connected to a control circuit board. Existing smart trash cans require sealing existing trash bags before placing new trash bags, a process that requires at least two stages. This necessitates a sealing drive and a trash-laying device, resulting in high manufacturing costs and a cumbersome control process. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art and provide a trash can with a reasonable structural design and simple operation.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above problems is as follows: a trash can includes a can body, the can body is connected to a rod that can move laterally and push against a trash bag and a driving member that drives the rod to move laterally, the driving member is connected to a storage frame for accommodating the trash bag, the trash bag is long and cylindrical, and unused parts of the trash bag are stored in the storage frame; the driving member is vertically movable relative to the can body, when the driving member moves vertically, the driving member drives the rod to move laterally, and the unused parts of the trash bag in the storage frame are pulled out of the storage frame; after the driving member returns to its original position, the newly pulled-out trash bag is placed in the can body.

[0005] The driving component is provided with an inclined surface that allows the push rod to move laterally. The inclined surface is positioned with the opening end of the barrel as the highest point and extends downward toward the middle of the side of the barrel.

[0006] There are two rods, which are distributed on opposite sides of the barrel. Each rod has a corresponding inclined surface at both ends. When the driving component moves vertically upward, the inclined surfaces push against the rods, causing the two rods to come closer together.

[0007] The rod consists of two members arranged in a cross configuration. Each member has a corresponding inclined surface at both ends. When the driving member moves vertically, the inclined surfaces push against the rods, causing the two rods to move laterally.

[0008] The rod consists of four rods, arranged in pairs, with the two pairs of rods arranged in a cross pattern. Each rod has a corresponding inclined surface at both ends. When the driving component moves vertically upward, each inclined surface pushes against the corresponding rod, causing the four rods to move closer to the center.

[0009] The rod is provided with a heating element, or a high-temperature resistant element, or a heating element and a high-temperature resistant element.

[0010] Each inclined plane is fixed to the same driving component.

[0011] The drive unit is connected to a support platform for setting up the storage frame, and the barrel is provided with a support body to support the support platform; the support platform rests on the support body and is supported by the support body, or the drive unit is supported by the support body.

[0012] This also includes a handle that is connected to the support platform or drive unit.

[0013] The bottom surface of the barrel supports the drive component.

[0014] The barrel body includes an outer barrel and an inner cylinder disposed inside the outer barrel, and the driving component is disposed between the outer barrel and the inner cylinder.

[0015] The side wall at the opening of the barrel has a groove for inserting rods. The rods located in the grooves are kept in the barrel and can slide along the trajectory of the grooves.

[0016] It also includes an installation frame connected to the barrel body for setting up rods. The installation frame is provided with a sliding groove for inserting rods. The rods located in the sliding groove are kept in the installation frame and can slide along the trajectory of the sliding groove.

[0017] The mounting frame includes an outer peripheral wall, and an inner wall fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall is provided inside the outer peripheral wall. There is a gap space between the inner wall and the outer peripheral wall. The sliding groove is provided in the inner wall, and the rod located in the sliding groove extends out of the inner wall.

[0018] The outer peripheral wall blocks the groove on the inner wall, and the end of the rod is located in the gap space.

[0019] In particular, along the trajectory of the lateral movement of the rod, the side of the supporting rod facing the barrel tilts downwards.

[0020] The number of the slides is even, and the two slides in the same group are arranged in parallel.

[0021] The supporting rod on the slide groove tilts downwards on the side facing the barrel.

[0022] The number of the slides is at least three, and there is a gap between the ends of two adjacent slides. The drive unit is connected to a guide bar that falls in the gap.

[0023] It also includes a reset surface for the push rod to move toward the side of the barrel during the downward movement. The reset surface is set parallel to the inclined surface, and the end of the rod is located between the reset surface and the inclined surface.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and effects: The present invention can close the garbage bag when lifting the lifting drive component. When the sealing electric heating component is configured on the rod, the closed garbage bag can be sealed and melted and separated. After the drive component is connected to the garbage bag, the garbage bag can be pulled out at the same time as heat-sealing and melting and separating. One pull action completes two operation processes, thus realizing the cycle of sealing, pulling out the garbage bag and reuse. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] See Figure 1-2The trash can described in this embodiment includes a can body 2. The can body 2 is connected to a rod 1 that can move laterally and push against a trash bag 5, and a driving member 3 that drives the rod 1 to move laterally. Preferably, the outer wall of the opening of the can body 2 is provided with a groove 0 for setting the rod 1. The groove 0 extends laterally, and the rod 1 is movably set along the groove 0. In another embodiment, the rod 1 can be slidably set in a mounting frame 4 for setting the rod 1. The mounting frame 4 is connected to the can body 2, and the rod 1 is set in the mounting frame 4. The driving member 3 is connected to a storage frame 34 for accommodating the trash bag 5. The storage frame 34 moves with the driving member 3. The trash bag 5 is cylindrical, and unused parts of the trash bag 5 are stored in the storage frame 34. In this embodiment, the driving member 3 is vertically movable relative to the can body 2. When the driving member 3 moves vertically, the driving member 3 drives the rod 1 to move laterally. Unused parts of the trash bag in the storage frame 34 are pulled out from the storage frame 34. After the driving member 3 returns to its original position, the newly pulled-out trash bag 5 is placed in the can body 2. Preferably, the driving component 3 has an inclined surface 31. The inclined surface 31 has its highest point at the open end of the bin body 2 and extends downwards towards the middle of the side of the bin body 2. Preferably, the highest point is located at the end of the side of the bin body 2. Taking a rectangular frame as an example, the starting point of the inclined surface 31 is located at the four corners. When the driving component 3 moves vertically upwards, the inclined surface 31 pushes the rod 1 to move laterally. In this embodiment, when the trash can is in use, the trash bag 5 is placed in the bin body 2, and the rod 1 is located outside the trash bag 5. When the rod 1 moves, it can drive the trash bag 5, thereby closing the opening of the trash bag 5. In this embodiment, when the trash can is in use, because the original trash bag 5 has been filled with heavy trash, the trash bag 5 in the storage frame 34 is pulled out. At the same time, the driving rod 1 moves laterally to close the opening of the previously released trash bag 5. After the user takes out the original trash bag, the driving component 3 is returned to its original position, and the newly pulled-out trash bag 5 is placed in the bin body 2, where trash can be disposed of. In this embodiment, when the drive unit 3 and the storage box 34 move upward, they complete the closing of the garbage bag and release a new garbage bag, which can then be used normally after returning to its original position.

[0030] Preferably, in this embodiment, there are two rods 1, distributed on opposite sides of the bin body 2. That is, the two rods 1 are located on opposite sides, and the garbage bag 5 is placed between the two rods 1. Each rod 1 has a corresponding inclined surface 31 at both ends. When the driving member 3 moves vertically upward, each inclined surface 31 pushes against the rod 1, causing the two rods 1 to move closer together. In this embodiment, "both ends of the rod 1" is not limited to the end portion of the rod 1; it refers to the portion adjacent to the end of the rod 1, relative to the middle position. With inclined surfaces 31 at both ends of the rod 1 in this embodiment, the driving force of the driving member 3 on the rod 1 is balanced, allowing for a smooth and stable closing of the garbage bag 5.

[0031] Preferably, there are two rods 1 arranged in a cross configuration. Each rod 1 has a corresponding inclined surface 31 at both ends. When the driving member 3 moves vertically, the inclined surfaces 31 push against the rods 1, causing the two rods 1 to move laterally. Preferably, in this embodiment, the configuration of the inclined surfaces 31 on the driving member 3 with respect to the rods 1 can be the same as in the aforementioned embodiments. In this application, the two rods 1 are arranged in a cross configuration. Preferably, they can be arranged in a cross shape. The two intersecting rods 1 are located outside the garbage bag 5. During the movement of the two intersecting rods 1, the point of intersection also moves, thereby gradually reducing the area of ​​the original intersection and thus closing the garbage bag.

[0032] Preferably, there are four rods 1, with two rods 1 forming a group and the two groups of rods 1 arranged crosswise. Each rod 1 has a corresponding inclined surface 31 at both ends. When the driving member 3 moves vertically upward, each inclined surface 31 pushes against the corresponding rod 1, causing the four rods 1 to move closer to the center. Preferably, in this embodiment, the arrangement of the inclined surface 31 on the driving member 3 with respect to the rods 1 can be the same as in the aforementioned implementation. In this embodiment, there are four rods 1. Preferably, the four rods 1 are arranged in a "well" shape. When garbage is disposed of, the four rods 1 are located on the side. When closing the garbage bag, the driving member 3 drives the four rods 1 to move towards the center, thereby closing the garbage bag located within the four rods 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, the rod 1 is provided with a heating element 12, and a high-temperature resistant element 13 that cooperates with the heating key is provided on the barrel 2 or another rod 1. Alternatively, the rod 1 may be provided with a high-temperature resistant element 13, and the heating element 12 that cooperates with the high-temperature resistant element 13 may be provided on the barrel 2 or another rod 1, or there may be two heating elements 12, one on the rod 1 and the other on the barrel 2 or another rod 1. Preferably, the heating element 12 includes a heating wire and a high-temperature resistant base for supporting the heating wire. The high-temperature resistant base and the high-temperature resistant element 13 are made of materials available in the prior art, such as ceramic materials, high-temperature coated cloth, and high-temperature resistant plastic materials. The heating element 12 heats the plastic garbage bag 5 to achieve heat-sealing. Further heating can break the long cylindrical garbage bag 5. In this embodiment, when the driving element 3 moves upward, the driving rod 1 closes the garbage bag 5. Then the heating element 12 heats and seals the garbage bag and heat-melts it open. The user can then take out the original garbage bag 5. The bottom of the new garbage bag is also sealed. After the driving element 3 is returned to its position, the newly torn garbage bag is placed in the bin 2, and garbage can be disposed of. This conveniently realizes the cycle of closing, sealing, and reuse.

[0034] Preferably, each inclined surface 31 is fixed to the same driving member 3. That is, the same driving member 3 is provided with multiple inclined surfaces 31 that are adapted to the rod 1, and vertical driving of one driving member 3 can drive each rod 1.

[0035] Preferably, the driving component 3 is connected to a support platform 33, which has a storage frame 34 for holding garbage bags. The garbage bag 5 is cylindrical, and unused portions of the garbage bag are stored in the storage frame 34. The support platform 33 supports the storage frame 34. When the driving component 3 moves upward, the garbage bag 5 stored in the storage frame 34 is pulled out because heavy garbage has been placed inside. At the same time, the driving rod 1 moves laterally to close the previously released garbage bag. After closing, the heating element 12 heats and seals the garbage bag and melts it open. After the user takes out the original garbage bag 5, the driving component 3 is returned to its original position, and the newly pulled-out garbage bag is placed in the bin 2 for garbage disposal, thus conveniently realizing recycling.

[0036] Preferably, the barrel body 2 is provided with a support body that supports the support platform 33; the support platform 33 rests on the support body and is supported by the support body, or the support body supports the drive component 3.

[0037] Preferably, a handle is also included, which is connected to the support platform 33 or the drive component 3. The user can pull the handle to drive the support platform 33 or the drive component 3, making it more convenient to use.

[0038] Preferably, in this embodiment, the bottom surface of the barrel 2 supports the driving member 3. Specifically, the driving member 3 extends from top to bottom, and its lower end rests on the bottom surface of the barrel 2.

[0039] Preferably, in this embodiment, the bin 2 includes an outer bin 21 and an inner cylinder 22 disposed within the outer bin 21, with the driving component 3 disposed between the outer bin 21 and the inner cylinder 22. In this embodiment, the inner cylinder 22 separates the garbage bag from the driving component 3, preventing the driving component 3 from touching the garbage bag and causing adverse interference when it moves.

[0040] Preferably, the side wall at the opening of the barrel 2 has a groove 0 for inserting a rod 1. The rod 1, located in the groove 0, is held in place in the barrel 2 and can slide along the trajectory of the groove 0. In this embodiment, preferably, the side wall at the opening of the barrel 2 has an elongated groove, and the rod 1 is placed in the groove 0.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment, it further includes a mounting frame 4 connected to the barrel 2 for setting the rod 1. The mounting frame 4 is provided with a sliding groove 0 for inserting the rod 1. The rod 1 located in the sliding groove 0 is kept in the mounting frame 4 and can slide along the trajectory of the sliding groove 0.

[0042] Further, as a preferred embodiment, the mounting frame 4 includes an outer peripheral wall, within which an inner wall is fixedly connected, and a gap space exists between the inner wall and the outer peripheral wall. The sliding groove 0 is disposed on the inner wall, and a rod 1 located within the sliding groove 0 extends out of the inner wall. Even more preferably, the outer peripheral wall conceals the sliding groove 0 on the inner wall, and the end of the rod 1 is located in the gap space. In this embodiment, the outer peripheral wall conceals the sliding groove 0 on the inner wall, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0043] Preferably, along the lateral movement trajectory of the rod 1, the surface 11 of the supporting rod slopes downward toward the side of the barrel 2. Specifically, when there is only one rod 1, the surface 11 of the supporting rod slopes downward from one side to the opposite side; when there are two rods 1, the surface 11 of the supporting rod is higher in the middle and lower on both sides, and the surface 11 of the supporting rod slopes downward toward the side of the barrel 2; when there are four rods 1, they are arranged in groups of two on the same plane, and the surface 11 of the supporting rods in the same group is higher in the middle and lower on both sides.

[0044] Preferably, the number of slide grooves 0 is even, and the even number of slide grooves 0 are grouped into two, with the two slide grooves 0 in the same group arranged in parallel. The lower part of the slide groove 0 supports the rod 1, and the upper part of the slide groove 0 confines and holds the rod 1 in place in the barrel body 2 or the mounting frame 4.

[0045] Preferably, the surface 11 of the supporting rod on the chute 0 is inclined downward toward the side of the bin 2. As the chute 0 is inclined downward toward the side, the rod 1 under the action of gravity tends to slide toward the side, and the garbage bag remains in the re-open state during normal garbage disposal.

[0046] Preferably, there are at least three slide grooves 0, with a spacing between the ends of two adjacent slide grooves 0, and the drive member 3 is connected to a guide bar 35 that falls within the spacing space. When the drive member 3 moves vertically, the guide bar 35 regulates the movement trajectory of the drive member 3.

[0047] As another preferred embodiment for moving the rod 1 to the side, this embodiment also includes a reset surface 32 that pushes the rod 1 to move towards the side of the bin 2 during downward movement. The reset surface 32 is arranged parallel to the inclined surface 31, and the end of the rod 1 is located between the reset surface 32 and the inclined surface 31. When the driving member 3 moves upward, the inclined surface 31 pushes the rod 1 to move towards the direction of closing the garbage bag. When the driving member 3 moves downward, the reset surface 32 drives the rod 1 to move towards the opposite side.

[0048] The above description is merely illustrative of the invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not depart from the content of this specification or exceed the scope defined by the claims, all of which should fall within the protection scope of this invention.
