[0037] The garbage can is widely used in daily life. During use, the garbage can usually contains some leftover food impurities, resulting in poor air quality in the garbage can. After opening the garbage can, an odor will be emitted from the garbage can. In order to improve the user experience, a purification assembly is arranged in the garbage can to purify the gas in the garbage can, so as to avoid the emission of the odor in the garbage can into the air when the garbage can is opened, thereby reducing the user experience. However, if the purification assembly is always turned on, the service life of the purification assembly will be reduced. In order to improve the service life of the purification assembly, the purification assembly can be started only when the garbage can is opened, so as to avoid the emission of the odor in the garbage can into the air. The garbage can provided by the application can improve the above problems. The garbage can provided by the application can provide multiple working modes, and can start or not start the purification assembly to purify the air in the garbage can when the lid is opened, so as to avoid the emission of the odor in the garbage can into the air, thereby improving the service life of the purification assembly.

[0038] The application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment provides a garbage can 100. The garbage can 100 provided by the embodiment can start or not start the purification assembly 130 to purify the air in the garbage can 100 when the lid 120 is opened, so as to avoid the emission of the odor in the garbage can 100 into the air, thereby improving the service life of the purification assembly 130.

[0040] In the embodiment, the garbage can 100 comprises:

[0041] The barrel body 110 has a containing cavity 112 and an opening 114 in communication with the containing cavity 112;

[0042] The lid 120 is connected with the barrel body 110 to open or close the opening 114;

[0043] The purification assembly 130 is arranged in the containing cavity 112 and can purify the containing cavity 112 under a starting condition;

[0044] The trigger assembly 140 can be connected with the lid 120 and the purification assembly 130;

[0045] When the trigger assembly 140 is in a first condition, the lid 120 can be opened. When the trigger assembly 140 is in a second condition, the lid 120 can be opened and the purification assembly 130 can be triggered to start at the same time.

[0046] In the embodiment, the triggering assembly 140 is connected with the lid 120 and the purifying assembly 130, and has two opening modes. In a first condition, the triggering assembly 140 can only open the lid 120, and in a second condition, the triggering assembly 140 opens the lid 120 and starts the purifying assembly 130 at the same time, so that the purifying assembly 130 purifies the gas in the containing cavity 112. Whether the purifying assembly 130 is started or not can be determined according to different conditions, so that the use time of the purifying assembly 130 can be prolonged.

[0047] For example, when the user throws garbage into the containing cavity 112, the odor in the containing cavity 112 cannot be emitted in a short time because the duration is relatively short. Therefore, in this condition, the purifying assembly 130 can not be started. When the user needs to throw garbage into the garbage can 100 continuously, the odor in the containing cavity 112 can be emitted easily because the lid 120 is opened for a long time. Therefore, the purifying assembly 130 can be started to purify the odor in the garbage can 100, so that the user experience can be improved. That is, the user can select different opening modes according to the user's own situation.

[0048] In the embodiment, for the convenience of description, the mode in which the triggering assembly 140 only opens the lid 120 is defined as a lid-opening mode, and the mode in which the triggering assembly 140 opens the lid 120 and the purifying assembly 130 at the same time is defined as a lid-opening and purifying mode. The user can select the lid-opening mode or the lid-opening and purifying mode according to the user's own situation.

[0049] The first condition and the second condition of the triggering assembly 140 can be controlled by the user. The user can press the triggering assembly 140, apply different forces on the triggering assembly 140 to make the triggering assembly 140 in the first condition or the second condition, or send different starting signals to the triggering assembly 140 through the controller to make the triggering assembly 140 in the first condition or the second condition.

[0050] The purifying assembly 130 can have various modes to remove odor. The purifying assembly 130 can be a device for removing odor by activated carbon adsorption, a device for removing insects by high-voltage electric shock, or a device for purifying the internal space of the garbage can 100 by spraying perfume. The specific implementation mode of the purifying assembly 130 is not limited, as long as the odor in the containing cavity can be removed.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 3 which show the structure of the garbage can 100 when the lid is closed, Figure 4 which shows the structure of the garbage can 100 in the lid-opening mode, Figure 5The structure diagram of the switch purification mode is shown. In the embodiment, the trigger assembly 140 comprises a trigger 141, a first switch 143 and a second switch 145. The trigger 141 is installed on the barrel 110. The first switch 143 cooperates with the barrel cover 120 to close the opening 114. The second switch 145 is connected with the purification assembly 130.

[0052] When the trigger 141 is in the first condition, the trigger 141 pushes the first switch 143 away from the barrel cover 120 to open the barrel cover 120.

[0053] When the trigger 141 is in the second condition, the trigger 141 pushes the first switch 143 away from the barrel cover 120, and the first switch 143 contacts the second switch 145 to trigger the purification assembly 130 to start.

[0054] In the embodiment, an external force can be applied to the trigger 141 to make the trigger 141 in the first condition. The trigger 141 pushes the first switch 143 away from the barrel cover 120 to open the barrel cover 120. At this time, the first switch 143 and the second switch 145 are spaced apart, and the trigger 141 only triggers the barrel cover 120 to separate the barrel cover 120. When the external force is applied to the trigger 141 to make the trigger 141 in the second condition, the trigger 141 first pushes the first switch 143 away from the barrel cover 120, and then continues to push the first switch 143 to make the first switch 143 contact the second switch 145, and the second switch 145 triggers the purification assembly 130 to start.

[0055] Since the only open cover mode and the open cover purification mode are triggered by applying an external force to the trigger 141, the only open cover mode can be defined as a light press of the trigger 141, and the open cover purification mode is a heavy press of the trigger 141. The stroke of the trigger 141 in the only open cover mode is smaller than that in the open cover purification mode.

[0056] That is, if the user selects the only open cover mode, the trigger 141 can be lightly pressed to only open the barrel cover 120. If the user selects the open cover purification mode, the trigger 141 needs to be pressed heavily. After the first switch 143 opens the barrel cover 120, the first switch 143 needs to be further rotated to make the first switch 143 contact the second switch 145, so as to trigger the purification assembly 130 to start and purify the gas in the containing cavity 112.

[0057] The second switch 145 can trigger the purification assembly 130 to start in many ways. The second switch 145 can make a circuit board, and a position sensor is arranged on the circuit board. When the first switch 143 contacts the second switch 145, the purification assembly 130 is controlled to start.

[0058] In the embodiment, the first switch piece 143 and the second switch piece 145 are arranged at intervals. In the condition that the bucket cover 120 is closed, the first switch piece 143 and the second switch piece 145 are arranged at intervals. When the bucket cover 120 needs to be opened, an external force is applied to the trigger piece 141, and when the trigger piece 141 drives the first switch piece 143 to rotate, there is a certain movement allowance between the first switch piece 143 and the second switch piece 145, that is, the first switch piece 143 moves, but does not trigger the second switch piece 145 to move. The movement of the trigger piece 141 in this interval is the only cover opening mode. When the trigger piece 141 continues to move downward and drives the first switch piece 143 to continue to move in the direction close to the second switch piece 145, the first switch piece 143 contacts the second switch piece 145, and the second switch piece 145 triggers the purification assembly 130 to start.

[0059] That is, in the initial state, the first switch piece 143 and the second switch piece 145 are arranged at intervals, and the movement space of the first switch piece 143 for opening the bucket cover 120 is reserved, that is, in the initial movement stroke of the trigger piece 141, the first switch piece 143 can be driven to move, and the second switch piece 145 cannot be triggered to start the purification assembly 130, so as to realize the only cover opening mode. The distance between the first switch piece 143 and the second switch piece 145 is the movement space of the first switch piece 143 in the only cover opening mode.

[0060] In the embodiment, the distance between the first switch piece 143 and the second switch piece 145 is greater than 3 mm and less than 8 mm.

[0061] If the distance between the first switch piece 143 and the second switch piece 145 is too small, the first switch piece 143 contacts the second switch piece 145 before the first switch piece 143 opens the bucket cover 120, which causes the purification assembly 130 to start, and the only cover opening mode does not exist. If the distance between the first switch piece 143 and the second switch piece 145 is too large, the first switch piece 143 cannot contact the second switch piece 145 after the first switch piece 143 opens the bucket cover 120, which cannot start the purification assembly 130, and the cover opening and purification mode does not exist. In order to ensure that the only cover opening mode and the cover opening and purification mode exist at the same time, the distance between the first switch piece 143 and the second switch piece 145 is set to be between 3 mm and 8 mm.

[0062] In the embodiment, the trigger piece 141 and the second switch piece 145 are respectively located on the two sides of the first switch piece 143.

[0063] The trigger 141 is arranged above the first switch 143, and the second switch 145 is arranged below the first switch 143. When an external force is applied to the trigger 141, the trigger 141 is pressed to move downward, and the trigger 141 moves close to the first switch 143. After the first switch 143 opens the barrel cover 120, the trigger 141 is continuously pressed, and the trigger 141 continuously presses the first switch 143 downward, so that the first switch 143 and the second switch 145 are in contact, thereby triggering the purification assembly 130 to start and purify the gas in the containing cavity 112.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 6 In the embodiment, the first switch 143 includes a connecting portion 143a, a clamping portion 143b, and a pressing portion 143c. The clamping portion 143b and the pressing portion 143c are arranged at two ends of the connecting portion 143a, respectively. The clamping portion 143b can be clamped with the barrel cover 120, and the pressing portion 143c is arranged close to the second switch 145. The connecting portion 143a is rotationally connected with the barrel 110.

[0065] When the trigger 141 is in the first state, the trigger 141 pushes the pressing portion 143c to rotate in a direction close to the second switch 145, and stops before contacting the second switch 145, so that the clamping portion 143b rotates in a direction away from the barrel cover 120 to separate from the barrel cover 120.

[0066] When the trigger 141 is in the second state, the clamping portion 143b rotates in a direction away from the barrel cover 120 to separate from the barrel cover 120, and the pressing portion 143c rotates in a direction close to the second switch 145 to contact the second switch 145 to trigger the purification assembly 130 to start.

[0067] In the embodiment, the clamping portion 143b overlaps the barrel cover 120. When an external force is applied to the trigger 141, the trigger 141 first contacts the pressing portion 143c, and pushes the pressing portion 143c to rotate in a direction close to the second switch 145. The pressing portion 143c is arranged to be spaced apart from the second switch 145, and the pressing portion 143c does not contact the second switch 145. The connecting portion 143a is rotationally connected with the barrel 110. The pressing portion 143c rotates downward, and the clamping portion 143b rotates upward to gradually separate from the barrel cover 120, so that the barrel cover 120 is opened. If the external force is continuously applied to the trigger 141, the pressing portion 143c continuously rotates downward, and the pressing portion 143c rotates to contact the second switch 145, so that the purification assembly 130 starts to purify the garbage contained in the barrel.

[0068] The connecting portion 143a is rotationally connected with the barrel 110, the pressing portion 143c and the clamping portion 143b can rotate relative to the barrel 110, when the pressing portion 143c rotates downward, the clamping portion 143b can rotate upward and separate from the lid 120, so as to open the lid 120.

[0069] In the embodiment, the clamping portion 143b can be clamped in the clamping interface 121, under the condition that the lid 120 closes the switch, the clamping portion 143b is clamped in the clamping interface 121, so as to hold the lid 120, the lid 120 is connected with the barrel 110 through a torsion spring, after the clamping portion 143b and the clamping interface 121 are separated, the lid 120 can be opened under the action of the torsion spring.

[0070] In the embodiment, when the external force is applied to the trigger 141, the trigger 141 contacts the pressing portion 143c and pushes the pressing portion 143c to rotate towards the second switch 145, so as to drive the clamping portion 143b to rotate away from the clamping interface 121, so that the clamping portion 143b and the clamping interface 121 are separated, and the lid 120 can be opened.

[0071] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the embodiment, the trigger assembly 140 further comprises a restoring member 147, the restoring member 147 is arranged between the pressing portion 143c and the second switch 145, under the condition that the trigger 141 is separated from the pressing portion 143c, the restoring member 147 can separate the pressing portion 143c from the second switch 145.

[0072] The restoring member 147 is arranged between the pressing portion 143c and the second switch 145, and can be connected with at least one of the pressing portion 143c and the second switch 145, during the rotation of the pressing portion 143c towards the second switch 145, the restoring member 147 is gradually compressed, under the condition that the external force on the trigger 141 is removed, the pressing portion 143c can move away from the second switch 145 under the action of the restoring force of the restoring member 147, so that the pressing portion 143c can be separated from the second switch 145.

[0073] The restoring member 147 is connected with at least one of the pressing portion 143c and the second switch 145, so that the restoring member 147 can be connected with only the pressing portion 143c, or can be connected with only the second switch 145, or can be connected with both the pressing portion 143c and the second switch 145.

[0074] The restoring member 147 can be a spring, or can be a material with elasticity such as silica gel.

[0075] In the embodiment, the trigger 141 comprises a connecting rod 141a and a trigger portion 141b, the trigger portion 141b is connected with one end of the connecting rod 141a, the other end of the connecting rod 141a is in contact with the first switch 143, an external force is applied on the trigger portion 141b, the connecting rod 141a can push the first switch 143 to move relative to the barrel 110 to open the lid 120.

[0076] The connecting rod 141a is substantially in a strip shape, one end of the connecting rod 141a is connected with the trigger portion 141b, the other end is in contact with the pressing portion 143c of the first switch 143, the pressing portion 143c is pushed to rotate towards the second switch 145, thereby opening the lid 120.

[0077] The length of the connecting rod 141a is relatively long, which can set the positions of the first switch 143 and the second switch 145 far away from the trigger portion 141b, thereby facilitating the position arrangement of the trigger 141, the first switch 143 and the second switch 145.

[0078] In the embodiment, the barrel 110 has a mounting cavity 115, the first switch 143 and the second switch 145 are arranged in the mounting cavity 115, the connecting rod 141a is arranged in the mounting cavity 115, and the trigger portion 141b is arranged outside the mounting cavity 115.

[0079] The mounting cavity 115 and the accommodating cavity 112 are independently arranged, the mounting cavity 115 mainly accommodates the components of the garbage can 100, and the accommodating cavity 112 is mainly used for placing garbage, the first switch 143 and the second switch 145 are arranged in the mounting cavity 115, which can improve the appearance of the entire garbage can 100, and can protect the first switch 143 and the second switch 145, thereby reducing the damage to the first switch 143 and the second switch 145 during transportation as much as possible.

[0080] Meanwhile, the trigger portion 141b is arranged outside the mounting cavity 115, which can facilitate the operation of the trigger portion 141b, and an external force is applied on the trigger portion 141b, which can open the lid 120 or start the purification assembly 130 while opening the lid 120.

[0081] That is, the trigger portion 141b is pressed lightly, which corresponds to the lid opening mode only. The trigger portion 141b is pressed heavily, which corresponds to the lid opening and purification mode.

[0082] In the embodiment, the barrel 110 has a containing groove 116, the groove bottom of the containing groove 116 has a connecting hole 116a, the connecting hole 116a is communicated with the mounting cavity 115, the trigger part 141b is arranged in the containing groove 116, and the connecting rod 141a extends into the mounting cavity 115 through the connecting hole 116a.

[0083] The containing groove 116 is arranged outside the mounting cavity 115, that is, the containing groove 116 is arranged on the outer surface of the barrel 110, the trigger part 141b is arranged in the containing groove 116, and the misoperation of protruding the trigger part 141b on the barrel 110 can be reduced. The trigger part 141b is arranged in the containing groove 116, which can protect the trigger part 141b to some extent, reduce the damage of the trigger part 141b, and prolong the service life of the trigger part 141b.

[0084] The connecting hole 116a is arranged on the groove bottom of the containing groove 116, the containing groove 116 can be communicated with the mounting cavity 115 through the connecting hole 116a, the connecting rod 141a can extend into the mounting cavity 115 through the connecting hole 116a, and can partially extend into the containing groove 116 and be connected with the trigger part 141b.

[0085] The cross-sectional area of the connecting hole 116a is greater than the cross-sectional area of the connecting rod 141a and less than the cross-sectional area of the trigger part 141b, which can ensure that the connecting rod 141a can pass through the connecting hole 116a, and the trigger part 141b can be mounted in the containing groove 116.

[0086] In order to facilitate understanding, the cross-sectional area of the connecting hole 116a is greater than the cross-sectional area of the connecting rod 141a and less than the cross-sectional area of the trigger part 141b, which can be illustrated by an example.

[0087] For example, under the condition that the connecting hole 116a, the trigger part 141b and the connecting rod 141a are circular, the diameter of the trigger part 141b is greater than the diameter of the connecting hole 116a, and the diameter of the connecting hole 116a is greater than the diameter of the connecting rod 141a. When the trigger part 141b, the connecting hole 116a and the connecting rod 141a are of other shapes, the same can be deduced.

[0088] In the embodiment, the trigger part 141 further includes an elastic part 141c, the elastic part 141c is arranged between the groove bottom of the containing groove 116 and the trigger part 141b, and under the condition that the external force applied on the trigger part 141b is removed, the trigger part 141b can be reset under the restoring force of the elastic part 141c.

[0089] When an external force is applied on the trigger portion 141b, the trigger portion 141b moves towards the bottom of the accommodating groove 116, thereby compressing the elastic member 141c. When the external force applied on the trigger portion 141b is removed, the trigger portion 141b can move away from the bottom of the accommodating groove 116 under the restoring force of the elastic member 141c, thereby enabling the trigger portion 141b to automatically reset for the next time of opening the cover.

[0090] Similarly, the elastic member 141c can be a spring or a material with elasticity such as silica gel.

[0091] The working principle of the garbage can 100 provided in the embodiment is as follows: in the embodiment, the user can select different opening cover modes of the garbage can 100 according to the own needs, and can select only the opening cover mode or the opening cover and purification mode. Light pressing of the trigger portion 141b is the only opening cover mode, and heavy pressing of the trigger portion 141b is the opening cover and purification mode. When the user light presses the trigger portion 141b, the connecting rod 141a first contacts the pressing portion 143c and pushes the pressing portion 143c to rotate towards the second switch member 145. The pressing portion 143c and the second switch member 145 are spaced apart, and the pressing portion 143c does not contact the second switch member 145. The connecting portion 143a is rotationally connected with the can body 110, the pressing portion 143c rotates downwards, the clamping portion 143b rotates upwards, gradually separates from the can cover 120, and the can cover 120 is opened. If the trigger portion 141b is pressed, after the can cover 120 is opened, the pressing portion 143c continues to rotate downwards, the pressing portion 143c rotates to contact the second switch member 145, and the purification assembly 130 is started to purify the garbage in the containing can.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the can body 110 includes an upper cover 117 and a containing can 118. The upper cover 117 is connected with the garbage can 100. The containing cavity 112 has a communication cavity 112b and a placing cavity 112a. The communication cavity 112b is arranged in the upper cover 117, and the placing cavity 112a is arranged in the containing can 118. The opening 114 is arranged at one end of the communication cavity 112b away from the placing cavity 112a. The purification assembly 130 is installed in the communication cavity 112b, and the accommodating groove is arranged on the upper cover.

[0093] The garbage bag is placed in the placing cavity 112a, that is, the garbage bag is placed in the containing can 118, and the purification assembly 130 is placed in the upper cover 117. When the can cover 120 is opened, an odor will escape from the opening 114. At this time, the purification assembly 130 can be started, so that the gas in the placing cavity 112a can first enter the purification assembly 130, and then be discharged to the outside space through the gas outlet 132e after being purified by the purification assembly 130.

[0094] In the embodiment, the upper cover 117 is arranged above the containing barrel 118, i.e. the containing barrel 118 is arranged below the upper cover 117. The containing barrel 118 is mainly used for containing garbage, and thus the volume of the containing barrel 118 can be relatively large, and more garbage can be contained.

[0095] In the embodiment, the upper cover 117 is detachably fixed with the containing barrel 118.

[0096] The containing barrel 118 and the upper cover 117 are detachably connected. After the containing barrel 118 is filled with garbage, the upper cover 117 can be detached from the containing barrel 118, and the garbage bag can be replaced.

[0097] The containing barrel 118 is provided with an elastic part 119 near the upper cover 117. The opening of the garbage bag is sleeved on the elastic part 119. Figure 2 Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the elastic part 119 can support the garbage bag. When the garbage bag needs to be replaced, the elastic part 119 can be partially deformed. Figure 7 Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the elastic part 119 can be deformed when the garbage bag is replaced, so as to facilitate the replacement of the garbage bag.

[0098] In summary, the garbage can 100 provided in the embodiment has the following advantages. In the embodiment, the trigger assembly 140 is connected with the barrel cover 120 and the purification assembly 130, and has two opening modes. In the first condition, the trigger assembly 140 can only open the barrel cover 120. In the second condition, the trigger assembly 140 opens the barrel cover 120 and starts the purification assembly 130 at the same time, so that the purification assembly 130 purifies the gas in the containing cavity 112. Whether the purification assembly 130 is started or not can be determined according to different conditions, so that the use time of the purification assembly 130 can be improved.
