[0029] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 3The cover device of the first aspect of the present invention includes: a cover 110 having a feeding port 111; and a switch assembly disposed in the feeding port 111. The switch assembly includes a partition 210, a first magnet 221, and a second magnet 222. The partition 210 is used to close the feeding port 111. One end of the partition 210 is hinged to the cover 110. The first magnet 221 is disposed at the end of the partition 210 that is hinged to the cover 110. The second magnet 222 is disposed in the cover 110. The first magnet 221 and the second magnet 222 attract each other.

[0031] When an object is inserted into the feeding port, it contacts the partition 210 and drives the partition 210 to rotate. The first magnet 221 rotates away from the second magnet 222, opening the feeding port 111. The object passes through the feeding port 111 and enters the container. After the object passes through the feeding port 111, the second magnet 222 attracts the first magnet 221 through magnetic force, causing the partition 210 to reset and close the feeding port 111 again, preventing the spread of odors. This achieves automatic opening and closing of the feeding port 111, which is convenient and quick. It should be noted that there can be one or more partitions 210. In this embodiment, there are two partitions 210.

[0032] Understandably, referring to Figure 2 The cover 110 is provided with a third magnet 130, which repels the first magnet 221. The first magnet 221 is located between the third magnet 130 and the second magnet 222 along the rotation direction of the first magnet 221. When the partition 210 rotates and the feeding port 111 opens, the first magnet 221 moves away from the second magnet 222 and gradually approaches the third magnet 130. The repulsive force between the first magnet 221 and the third magnet 130 gradually increases. When an object passes through the feeding port 111, the first magnet 221 moves closer to the second magnet 222 under the repulsive force of the third magnet 130. At the same time, the attractive force between the first magnet 221 and the second magnet 222 increases, causing the first magnet 221 to quickly move closer to the second magnet 222, accelerating the reset of the partition 210 and closing the feeding port 111. This also enhances the stability of the partition 210, enabling it to reset stably and automatically close the feeding port 111.

[0033] Understandably, referring to Figure 4 The cover 110 is provided with a connector 120, which has two first connecting parts 122. The partition 210 is provided with a second connecting part 211, which is located between the two first connecting parts 122. The second connecting part 211 is rotatably connected to both first connecting parts 122. Through the rotatable connection between the first connecting parts 122 and the second connecting parts 211, the partition 210 can rotate around the hinge point.

[0034] Understandably, referring to Figure 4In the first embodiment, the connector 120 is provided with a first rotating shaft 123, which passes through the second connecting part 211 and the two first connecting parts 122, so that the partition 210 can rotate around the first rotating shaft 123, which is stable and reliable.

[0035] Understandably, in the second embodiment, the first connecting portion 122 protrudes to form a protrusion (not shown in the drawings), and the second connecting portion 211 has an insertion hole (not shown in the drawings). The protrusion and the insertion hole are inserted into each other. The protrusion is cylindrical or conical in shape, and the insertion hole matches the protrusion. Through the insertion of the protrusion and the insertion hole, the partition 210 can rotate around the axis of the insertion hole. In addition, by pulling the protrusion out of the insertion hole, the partition 210 can be separated from the connecting member 120, which is convenient and quick.

[0036] Understandably, referring to Figure 5 In the third embodiment, the second connecting part 211 has an elongated hole, and the connecting member 120 is provided with a second rotating shaft. The second rotating shaft passes through both the second connecting part 211 and the two first connecting parts, and 122 the second rotating shaft passes through the elongated hole. By providing the elongated hole and allowing the second rotating shaft to pass through it, when the partition 210 rotates around the second rotating shaft, the partition 210 can translate along the elongated hole, making the rotation of the partition 210 smoother.

[0037] Understandably, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The connector 120 is provided with a third connecting part 121, and the third connecting part 121 is provided with a connecting screw. The connecting screw passes through the third connecting part 121 and is threadedly connected to the cover 110. The connector 120 is installed on the cover 110 by the third screw, so that the connector 120 can be easily disassembled during maintenance.

[0038] Understandably, referring to Figure 2 The first magnet 221 and the second magnet 222 are spaced apart to prevent the first magnet 221 and the second magnet 222 from sticking together, and to prevent the partition 210 from being unable to rotate due to the strong attraction between the first magnet 221 and the second magnet 222.

[0039] Understandably, referring to Figure 4 The partition 210 is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs to enhance the structural strength of the partition 210 and increase its service life.

[0040] The container of the second aspect of the present invention includes a cover device of the first aspect of the present invention. The cover device can be installed into the container by magnetic attraction or by snap-fit. When an object is put into the feeding port, the object contacts the partition 210 and drives the partition 210 to rotate. The first magnet 221 rotates away from the second magnet 222, and the feeding port 111 is opened. The object passes through the feeding port 111 and enters the container. After the object passes through the feeding port 111, the second magnet 222 attracts the first magnet 221 by magnetic force, causing the partition 210 to reset and close the feeding port 111 again, preventing the spread of odor. This achieves automatic opening and closing of the feeding port 111, which does not affect the feeding of objects into the container and prevents odor from escaping from the container, making it convenient and practical.

[0041] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
