Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of the present invention. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0042] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0043] In embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0044] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0045] Figure 1 This example illustrates a three-dimensional structural diagram of the resource recycling bin when the flexible door component provided in an embodiment of the present invention is in a retracted state. Figure 2 This example illustrates a three-dimensional structural diagram of the resource recycling bin when the flexible door component provided in an embodiment of the present invention is in the closed state. Figure 3 A side view cross-sectional structural diagram of the resource recycling bin provided in an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, as follows: Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the recycling bin includes a bin body 100 and a flexible door component 200. The bin body 100 has an internal cavity and a first opening communicating with the cavity. The flexible door component 200 slides against the side of the first opening. The flexible door component 200 is used to switch between a closed state and a retracted state. The flexible door component 200 can be bent during the switching between the closed and retracted states. In the closed state, the flexible door component 200 seals the first opening; in the retracted state, the flexible door component 200 is retracted to one side of the bin body 100.

[0046] The flexible door component 200 includes a flexible door body 210 and a lever assembly 220. The lever assembly 220 is disposed at the first end of the flexible door body 210. During the process of pulling the barrel 100 out of the box 600, the lever assembly 220 cooperates with the limiting component 620 disposed on the box 600 to limit the flexible door body 210 to be in a closed state.

[0047] The recycling bin provided in this embodiment of the invention employs a flexible door component 200, which can be bent during the switching between the closed state and the storage state, effectively reducing the space occupied by the door during the opening or closing process; since the flexible door component 200 is stored on one side of the bin body 100 in the storage state, it avoids the door from being lost due to being placed alone.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present invention, the barrel 100 is rectangular, the first opening is located at the top of the barrel 100, and the flexible door component 200 is rectangular. The size of the first opening is adapted to the size of the flexible door component 200. Because the flexible door component 200 slides into the side of the first opening, and the first opening is rectangular, it can be ensured that the flexible door component 200 and the side of the first opening can effectively contact each other at any position, improving the stability of the flexible door component 200 during sliding.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 A three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the flexible door component provided in an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the flexible door body 210 includes multiple door units 240, which are spaced apart along the length of the flexible door body 210. Each door unit 240 can be a strip-shaped column or a strip-shaped sheet structure. The distance between adjacent door units 240 can be the same or different. Adjacent door units 240 are connected by flexible connectors 250. Specifically, the flexible connectors 250 can be ropes, wires, chains, or other flexible connectors. Two flexible connectors 250 are provided, with through holes at both ends of each door unit 240. One rope is sequentially threaded through one end of each door unit 240, and the other rope is sequentially threaded through the other end of each door unit 240. Connecting multiple door units 240 using flexible connectors 250 makes the flexible door body 210 easier to bend, thereby reducing the space occupied by the flexible door body 210 during opening or closing.

[0050] It should be noted that the connection method between the rope and the door unit 240 is not limited to the above connection method. Connection methods such as socketing, hot melt connection, adhesive bonding, and snap-fit ​​can also be used.

[0051] It should also be noted that the number of flexible connectors 250 is not limited to two, but can also be one. In this case, the width of the flexible connector 250 is larger so that the flexible connector 250 and the door unit 240 have a larger contact surface, thereby better connecting multiple door units 240 together. Of course, the number of flexible connectors 250 can also be multiple, and multiple flexible connectors 250 are spaced apart along the width direction of the flexible door body 210.

[0052] It should also be noted that the specific structural form of the flexible door body 210 is not limited to connecting two adjacent door units 240 through the flexible connector 250. Two adjacent door units 240 can also be connected by hinge.

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, slider 224 is connected to door body unit 240 at the first end of flexible door body 210. Specifically, slider 224 is sleeved with door body unit 240 at the first end of flexible door body 210. Here, door body unit 240 at the first end of flexible door body 210 is referred to as the first door body unit. Figure 7 As shown, two sliders 224 are provided, each with a connecting hole. The two sliders 224 are fitted onto the two ends of the first door unit in a one-to-one correspondence. The sliders 224 serve both to connect the paddle assembly 220 and the door unit 240, and to slide in cooperation with the side of the first opening.

[0054] It should be noted that the connection between slider 224 and the first door unit is not limited to a socket connection; welding, integral molding, or other methods can also be used for connection.

[0055] Figure 5 A schematic diagram illustrating the connection relationship between the flexible door body, the limiting block, and the slide rail provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown, such as... Figure 5 As shown, a limiting block 230 is provided at the second end of the flexible door body 210. The limiting block 230 is used to drive the flexible door body 210 into the box 400 under the action of gravity. The limiting block 230 is connected to the door unit 240 at the second end of the flexible door body 210. Here, the door unit 240 at the second end of the flexible door body 210 is referred to as the second door unit. Other door units 240 are distributed at intervals between the first door unit and the second door unit. Figure 5 As shown, the limiting block 230 has a block-shaped structure and is made of a heavy metal material. Two limiting blocks 230 are provided, each with a connecting hole. The two limiting blocks 230 are fitted one-to-one onto the two ends of the second door unit. The thickness of the limiting block 230 is greater than the width of the slide rail 500. The limiting block 230 serves two purposes: firstly, it allows the flexible door body 210 to slide into the housing 400 under the influence of gravity; secondly, in the closed state, it abuts against the end of the slide rail 500 near the housing 400 to prevent the flexible door body 210 from exceeding a predetermined position during movement, thus preventing it from failing to return to its original position.

[0056] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, two lever assemblies 220 are provided, and the two lever assemblies 220 are connected to the two ends of the first door unit in a one-to-one correspondence. Of course, two or more lever assemblies 220 can also be provided. The lever assembly 220 is used to switch between an unfolded state and a folded state. During the process of pushing the bucket 100 into the box 600, the lever assembly 220 switches from the unfolded state to the folded state. At this time, the height of the lever assembly 220 decreases, the overall height of the resource recycling bucket decreases, and the bucket 100 can enter the box 600 without being blocked by the upper side of the second opening.

[0057] like Figure 9 As shown, during the process of pulling the bin 100 out of the box 600, since the overall height of the recycling bin is greater than the bottom height of the limiting component 620, the paddle component 220 will abut against the limiting component 620. Under the limiting action of the limiting component 620, the paddle component 220 drives the flexible door body 210 to slide, switching from the storage state to the closed state. Since there is no need to set up a special electric structure to control the closing of the flexible door body 210, the automatic closing of the flexible door body 210 can be achieved, which has the advantages of simple and reliable structure and convenient use.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 A three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the paddle assembly provided in an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the paddle assembly 220 includes a rotating shaft 221, a paddle 222, and a return spring 223. The rotating shaft 221 is connected to the flexible door body 210. The first end of the paddle 222 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 221. Specifically, the first end of the paddle 222 is provided with a through hole, and the first end of the paddle 222 is rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 221. The return spring 223 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 221 and connected to the paddle 222. The return spring 223 is used to drive the paddle 222 to switch from a folded state to an unfolded state.

[0059] Specifically, one fixed end of the return spring 223 abuts against the side of the lever 222 facing the flexible door body 210, and the other fixed end of the return spring 223 is connected to the slider 224 or the connecting piece. Alternatively, a positioning groove or positioning hole can be provided in the slider 224 or the connecting piece, and the other fixed end of the return spring 223 can be inserted into the positioning groove or positioning hole. By setting the return spring 223, the lever 222 automatically switches from a folded state to an unfolded state without manual operation, making it more convenient to use.

[0060] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6As shown, the paddle assembly 220 also includes a slider 224, which is rectangular, but can also be cylindrical or other shapes. The slider 224 is connected to the first end of the flexible door body 210 and slides against the side of the first opening. This sliding engagement prevents direct contact between the flexible door body 210 and the side of the first opening or the slide rail 500, reducing frictional resistance. The rotating shaft 221 is connected to the slider 224 via connecting pieces. Specifically, two connecting pieces are spaced apart on the upper part of the slider 224. These connecting pieces can be welded to the slider 224 or integrally formed. The connecting pieces provide a mounting base for the rotating shaft 221, which can be rotatably or fixedly connected to it.

[0061] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first end of the lever 222 has a first arc angle 225 on the side facing the flexible door body 210. The first arc angle 225 facilitates the rotation of the lever 222. Figure 6 As shown, when the paddle 222 is not under any force, the paddle 222 is in an upright state, that is, the paddle 222 is in an unfolded state, and at this time the paddle 222 is in its initial position.

[0062] like Figure 9 As shown, during the process of pushing the bin 100 into the container 600, since the overall height of the recycling bin is greater than the height of the second opening, the lever 222 will abut against the upper side of the second opening. Under the action of the upper side of the second opening, the lever 222 rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow and eventually folds into place. Under the action of the lever 222, the return spring 223 deforms. At this time, since the overall height of the recycling bin is less than or equal to the height of the second opening, the recycling bin can enter the container 600. After entering the container 600, under the elastic action of the return spring 223, the lever 222 rotates in the opposite direction of the arrow and eventually returns to its initial position, standing upright. At this time, the return spring 223 is in its initial state.

[0063] like Figure 6 As shown, the first end of the lever 222 has a right angle 226 on the side opposite to the flexible door body 210. During the process of pulling the bucket 100 out of the box 600, since the overall height of the recycling bucket is greater than the height of the limiting component 620, the lever 222 will abut against the limiting component 620. Since the first end of the lever 222 is at a right angle 226 opposite to the flexible door body 210, the lever 222 cannot continue to rotate in the opposite direction indicated by the arrow. Under the limiting action of the limiting component 620, the lever 222 drives the flexible door body 210 to slide, switching from the storage state to the closed state, thus realizing the automatic closing of the flexible door body 210.

[0064] like Figure 6 As shown, the second end of the lever 222 has a second right angle 227 on the side facing the flexible door body 210. This makes the side of the lever 222 facing the flexible door body 210 a flat surface. During the process of pulling the bucket 100 out of the box 600, the lever 222 and the limiting component 620 can have a larger contact surface, improving the stability when the lever 222 and the limiting component 620 are in contact. The second end of the lever 222 has a second rounded angle 228 on the side facing away from the flexible door body 210. During the process of pushing the bucket 100 into the box 600, because the second end of the lever 222 has a second rounded angle 228 on the side facing away from the flexible door body 210, the sliding engagement between the second end of the lever 222 and the upper side of the second opening is smoother, avoiding any jamming.

[0065] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the recycling bin also includes a locking component 300, which includes a lock body 310 and a latch 320. The latch 320 is disposed at the first end of the flexible door body 210, specifically, the latch 320 is disposed in the first door unit, preferably, the latch 320 is located in the middle of the first door unit. The lock body 310 is disposed on the bin body 100, specifically, the lock body 310 is disposed on the side opposite the first opening and the box body 400, preferably, the lock body 310 is located in the middle of the side opposite the first opening and the box body 400, and the positions of the lock body 310 and the latch 320 correspond.

[0066] In the closed state, the lock body 310 and the latch 320 are locked together. During the process of pulling the barrel 100 out of the box 600, the lever 222 abuts against the limiting component 620. Under the limiting action of the limiting component 620, the lever 222 drives the flexible door body 210 to slide, switching from the storage state to the closed state. The flexible door body 210 is closed, and the lock body 310 and the latch 320 are locked together. Since there is no need for a dedicated electric structure to control the locking of the lock body 310 and the latch 320, the flexible door body 210 can be automatically locked, making it more convenient to use. In the storage state, the lock body 310 and the latch 320 are separated. The lock body 310 and the latch 320 work together to lock the flexible door body 210, effectively ensuring the safety of goods during transportation.

[0067] It should be noted that the assembly method of the lock body 310 and the latch 320 is not limited to this. The lock body 310 can also be set at the first end of the flexible door body 210, that is, the lock body 310 is set at the first door unit, and the latch 320 is set at the barrel 100, that is, the latch 320 is set on the side opposite to the first opening and the box 400.

[0068] It should also be noted that the lock body 310 can be a mechanical lock as in existing technology, which is opened manually with a key. Alternatively, the lock body 310 can be an electromagnetic control lock, which can be opened via an electric switch or by scanning a code with a mobile phone. Both mechanical and electromagnetic control locks are conventional technologies in the relevant fields and will not be described in detail here.

[0069] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the recycling bin also includes a box body 400, which is used to store the flexible door component 200, thereby effectively preventing the flexible door body 210 from being lost if placed alone. The box body 400 is located on one side of the bin body 100, and is rectangular in shape. The box body 400 is integrally formed with the bin body 100. Of course, the box body 400 can also be set separately and fixed to one side of the bin body 100 by welding or screws. An entrance is provided at the top of the box body 400, with the first opening located at the top of the bin body 100. Since the first opening is located at the top of the bin body 100, placing the entrance at the top of the box body 400 facilitates the entry and exit of the flexible door body 210. In the stored state, the flexible door component 200 is stored inside the box body 400. The side wall at the bottom of the barrel 100 is flush with the side of the box 400 that is away from the barrel 100. This design increases the capacity of the barrel 100 and improves its aesthetics.

[0070] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate maintenance of the flexible door body 210 when it is in the storage state, the box body 400 has a hollow part on the side opposite to the barrel body 100.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present invention, the box body 400 includes two guide grooves (not shown), which are spaced apart on one side of the barrel body 100. The guide grooves extend in the vertical direction, with the upper end extending to near the side of the first opening to facilitate the sliding of the flexible door body 210 into the guide groove. A limiting piece is provided at the lower end of the guide groove. In the stored state, the two sides of the flexible door body 210 are correspondingly engaged in the two guide grooves to achieve storage of the flexible door body 210.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 A schematic diagram illustrating the connection relationship between the flexible door body, the limiting block, and the slide rail provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown, such as... Figure 4As shown, the recycling bin also includes a slide rail 500, which is used to slide in conjunction with the slider 224, allowing the flexible door component 200 to automatically slide into the box body 400 under the action of gravity. The slide rail 500 is located on the side of the first opening. There are two slide rails 500, arranged horizontally at intervals. One slide rail 500 is located on one side of the first opening, and the other slide rail 500 is located on the other side of the first opening. The slider 224 slides in conjunction with the slide rail 500. The slide rail 500 includes two sidewalls, which are arranged vertically at intervals and connected by a sidewall on the same side. These two sidewalls are referred to as the upper sidewall and the lower sidewall, respectively. The distance between the upper and lower sidewalls is greater than the thickness of the slider 224 to ensure that the slider 224 can slide freely between the upper and lower sidewalls. The sliding rail 500 and the slider 224 are designed to slide together, which can reduce the friction between the flexible door body 210 and the barrel 100, and also guide the flexible door body 210 so that it slides along a predetermined trajectory and prevents the flexible door body 210 from deviating during its movement.

[0073] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the upper side wall of the slide rail 500 is provided with a groove 510 extending along the length of the slide rail 500. The paddle 222 passes through the corresponding groove 510 and slides in cooperation with the groove 510. During the process of pulling the barrel 100 out of the box 600, the paddle 222 drives the flexible door body 210 to slide, so as to close the flexible door body 210. However, if the force on the flexible door body 210 is uneven during the movement, it is easy to jam. Therefore, the groove 510 guides the paddle 222 in the left and right directions, and the slide rail 500 guides the slider 224 in the up and down directions. By guiding in two vertical directions, the stability of the flexible door body 210 during the movement is effectively improved.

[0074] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the end of the slide rail 500 away from the lock body 310 bends downward and extends to the entrance of the housing 400. During the opening of the flexible door body 210, the flexible door body 210 can automatically slide into the housing 400 along the slide rail 500. To ensure that the second end of the flexible door body 210 exceeds the predetermined position during the closing process, the thickness of the limiting block 230 is greater than the width of the slide rail 500. Thus, during the opening process of the flexible door body 210, the limiting block 230 abuts against the end of the slide rail 500 away from the lock body 310, that is, the limiting block 230 abuts against the end of the arc-shaped section of the slide rail, thereby playing a limiting role and preventing the second end of the flexible door body 210 from continuing to move.

[0075] After the lock body and the latch are separated, in order to ensure that the flexible door component 200 opens automatically by gravity, the weight of the limit block needs to satisfy T≥Gf, where T is the weight of the limit block 230, G is the weight of the flexible door body 210, and f is the coefficient of sliding friction between the flexible door body 210 and the slide rail 500.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the barrel 100 is provided with rollers to reduce the friction between the barrel 100 and the ground during movement.

[0077] The following is combined Figures 1 to 7 A specific embodiment of the present invention is described, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the recycling bin includes a bin body 100, a flexible door component 200, a locking assembly 300, a box body 400, and a slide rail 500.

A through hole is provided at the first end of the lever 222, which is rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 221. A return spring 223 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 221 and connected to the lever 222. The return spring 223 drives the lever 222 to switch from a folded state to an unfolded state. One fixed end of the return spring 223 abuts against the side of the lever 222 facing the flexible door body 210. A positioning hole is provided on the connecting piece, and the other fixed end of the return spring 223 is inserted into the positioning hole.
