In this embodiment, when the trash can is in use, the trash bag 5 is placed on the can body 2, and the rod 1 is located on the outside of 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.

[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, arranged in pairs, with the two pairs of rods 1 intersecting each other. 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, the configuration of the inclined surface 31 on the driving member 3 with respect to the rods 1 in this embodiment 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 sides. 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.

[0035] Preferably, the driving component 3 is connected to a support platform 33, and the support platform 33 is provided with a storage frame 34 for accommodating garbage bags. The garbage bags are elongated and cylindrical, and unused portions of the garbage bags 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 bags stored in the storage frame 34 are released, and at the same time, the driving rod 1 moves laterally to close the previously released garbage bags.

[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.

[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.
