Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the technical field of daily necessities, and in particular to a trash can. Background Art

[0002] Trash cans are common household items used to hold various types of waste. With the promotion of waste sorting, different types of waste need to be collected separately. Kitchen waste, for example, is often wet and contains a variety of thorny waste that can easily puncture trash bags. Single-layer trash bags have limited strength and are prone to breakage when loaded with heavy trash or thorny waste, leading to leakage. This not only makes the waste difficult to collect but also contaminates the trash can, making collection very inconvenient.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to improve one or more problems existing in the above-mentioned related technical solutions.

[0004] It should be noted that this section is intended to provide background or context for the technical solutions of the present disclosure stated in the claims. The description herein is not admitted to be prior art by virtue of being included in this section. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be embodied in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0029] In addition, the accompanying drawings are merely schematic illustrations of embodiments of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. Like reference numerals in the figures represent like or similar parts, and thus repeated descriptions thereof will be omitted. Some of the blocks shown in the accompanying drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically separate entities.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In this exemplary embodiment, a trash can is provided for housing at least two trash bags, the at least two trash bags including a first trash bag and a second trash bag. The trash can includes an outer barrel body 100 and a separator 200. The outer barrel body 100 has an opening at its upper end, and is used to place the bag body of the first trash bag inside the outer barrel body 100. In one embodiment, a pressure ring can be provided on the outer barrel body 100 to press the bag opening of the first trash bag against the upper opening of the outer barrel body 100, or the first trash bag can be directly mounted on the edge of the upper opening of the outer barrel body 100, with the bag opening of the first trash bag folded outward. The separator 200 is at least partially disposed within the outer barrel 100. The separator 200 is cylindrical and open at both the upper and lower ends. The separator 200 is used to place the bag body of the second garbage bag within the separator 200. The bag opening of the second garbage bag can be located inside the upper end of the separator 200 or folded over and placed on the edge of the opening of the separator 200. It is important to note that the separator 200 is located between the first garbage bag and the second garbage bag, and can at least separate the bag bodies of the two garbage bags.

[0031] In this embodiment, a divider 200 is provided within the outer barrel 100 to separate a first garbage bag placed on the outer barrel 100 from a second garbage bag placed on the divider 200. During use, garbage is placed in the second garbage bag. If the second garbage bag becomes damaged due to weight, bones, or fish bones, the first garbage bag remains intact thanks to the barrier protection provided by the divider 200. This allows the first garbage bag to be placed over the second, creating a double layer of garbage bags. This prevents dirt from leaking out of the garbage bag, thus avoiding the pollution and inconvenience caused by garbage leakage.

[0032] Of course, when the second garbage bag is not damaged, the second garbage bag can be taken away directly, and the first garbage bag can be kept as a backup.

[0033] The positioning of the first and second garbage bags can be achieved by setting a preset gap between the outer barrel 100 and the divider 200. This preset gap can be zero, meaning that the divider 200 and the outer barrel 100 are in contact with each other. The preset gap can also be a few millimeters to a few centimeters, such as 5mm, 1cm, 2cm, etc., but is not limited thereto. Maintaining a gap of a few millimeters or centimeters makes it easier to remove the divider 200 from the outer barrel 100 and also facilitates its insertion into the outer barrel 100.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 3Optionally, in some embodiments, the upper end of the divider 200 is provided with two handles 201 disposed opposite each other, and the two handles 201 are hingedly mounted on the divider 200. When the second garbage bag is placed on the divider 200, the two handles 201 can be used to press the opening of the second garbage bag onto the divider 200, thereby facilitating the use of the second garbage bag to hold garbage. In addition, after the second garbage bag is detached from the divider 200, the two handles 201 can be used to lift the divider 200 to remove the divider 200 from the outer barrel 100, and further, the first garbage bag can be removed from the outer barrel 100.

[0035] Optionally, in some embodiments, the handle 201 is U-shaped or semicircular, which is suitable for rectangular and circular dividers 200, respectively. Of course, it can also be semi-elliptical. The shape of the handle 201 matches the shape of the divider 200, and there is no specific restriction on its shape.

[0036] Based on the above embodiment, the specific shape of the separator 200 is described in detail. Optionally, the separator 200 may include a sleeve portion 202 at the upper end and an inner barrel body 203 extending from the barrel mouth of the outer barrel body 100 to the bottom of the outer barrel body 100, and the sleeve portion 202 is pressed against the upper edge of the outer barrel body 100. In this way, the separator 200 can completely separate the first garbage bag and the second garbage bag. When the second garbage bag is damaged, since the separator 200 is located between the two garbage bags, needle-like objects will be blocked by the sleeve portion 202 and the inner barrel body 203 of the separator 200, and will not cause damage to the first garbage bag, thereby effectively protecting the integrity of the first garbage bag. Of course, the shapes of the sleeve portion 202 and the inner barrel body 203 are not limited and can be cylindrical, rectangular, elliptical, etc.

[0037] Optionally, in some embodiments, the upper end of the barrel wall of the outer barrel body 100 is at least partially sleeved within the sleeve portion 202. When the first garbage bag is sleeved on the outer barrel body 100, the sleeve portion 202 can cover the bag cover of the first garbage bag, so that the first garbage bag can be invisible inside the trash can, thereby improving the aesthetics of the exterior of the trash can.

[0038] Optionally, in some embodiments, at least one through hole 101 is provided at the upper end of the barrel wall of the outer barrel body 100, for example, two through holes 101. When the first garbage bag is put on the outer barrel body 100, the protruding part of the first garbage bag can be stuffed into the through hole 101, so that the first garbage bag can be more securely put on the outer barrel body 100 to avoid falling.

[0039] In addition, we can also set a protrusion 102 extending outward from the barrel wall on the barrel wall of the outer barrel body 100. The protrusion 102 can be of any shape, for example, a protruding plate, a circle of steps protruding along the barrel wall, etc. It is convenient for people to move the outer barrel body 100 and the entire trash can through the protrusion 102, so that the position of the trash can can be moved at will.

[0040] Optionally, in some embodiments, a cover 204 is provided on the partition 200 for covering the upper opening of the partition 200 to prevent garbage or odor from overflowing.

[0041] Optionally, in some embodiments, the opening at the lower end of the divider 200 is used to allow the second garbage bag to pass through into the first garbage bag. When the second garbage bag is overloaded with garbage, damaged due to excessive weight, or damaged by a fish bone, the second garbage bag can be detached from the divider 200, and then the divider 200 is removed from the outer barrel 100. The second garbage bag will then pass through the lower opening of the divider 200 into the first garbage bag, thereby wrapping the second garbage bag with the first garbage bag to prevent garbage from overflowing.

[0042] Optionally, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The outer barrel body 100 is provided with an exhaust hole 103 for discharging the air between the first garbage bag and the outer barrel body 100. In this way, when the first garbage bag is put on, the bag body of the first garbage bag can be placed at the bottom of the outer barrel body 100 more easily and conveniently.
