[0004] Technical solution: A foot-operated trash can, comprising a base, a body, a trash bag compartment, a lid, a pedal, a first connecting rod, a lever, a first reset component, a first limiting part, a linkage mechanism, and a baffle;

[0005] The bin body is detachably connected to the top of the base, the garbage bag compartment is detachably connected to the top opening of the bin body, and the bin lid is hinged to the top of the garbage bag compartment;

[0006] The pedal is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the base, and one end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the pedal, while the other end is connected to the bucket lid.

[0007] The lever is rotatably mounted on the side of the first connecting rod, and the linkage mechanism is located in the inner cavity of the garbage bag compartment and forms a clutch structure with the lever to control the opening and closing of the baffle.

[0008] The first limiting part is disposed on the side of the first connecting rod and abuts against the top of the lever block;

[0009] The first reset component is connected to the toggle block and the first linkage. The pedal drives the first linkage to move upward, causing the toggle block to rotate in contact with the linkage mechanism. When the toggle block moves upward and separates from the linkage mechanism, the first reset component resets the toggle block.

[0010] Preferably, the linkage mechanism includes a positioning shell, a lever, a second reset component, a second connecting rod, a transmission rod, and a second limiting part;

[0011] The positioning shell is detachably connected to the inner cavity of the garbage bag compartment. The side of the positioning shell is provided with a slide rail, and the end of the baffle is slidably placed in the slide rail.

[0012] The first end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the baffle, and the other end is hinged to the lever. The lever is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the positioning shell and has a stop block on the top.

[0013] The second limiting part is disposed on the side wall of the positioning shell and abuts against the side of the stop block;

[0014] One end of the transmission rod is connected to a lever, and the other end is connected to another lever;

[0015] The second reset component is connected to the lever and the positioning shell. The first connecting rod moves down, causing the lever to press down on the stop block and drive the lever to rotate. When the lever moves down to separate from the stop block, the lever is reset by the second reset component.

[0021] Preferably, it also includes a pressure ring, which is detachably connected to the top of the garbage bag compartment, and the lid closes onto the opening of the pressure ring.

[0022] In summary, the beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0023] When the user presses the pedal, the first linkage moves upward, causing the lever to rotate in contact with the linkage mechanism. When the lever moves upward and separates from the linkage mechanism, the lever is reset by the first reset component. The lid is then opened by the first linkage. When the lid is open, the baffle is closed, sealing the top of the garbage bag. The garbage disposed of by the user falls onto the baffle, preventing odors from escaping from the garbage bag and avoiding discomfort to the user. When the user releases the pedal, the first linkage moves downward, causing the lever to contact the linkage mechanism. Under the action of the first limit part, the lever will not rotate, allowing the linkage mechanism to open the baffle and let the garbage fall to the bottom of the garbage bag. When the lever moves downward and separates from the linkage mechanism, the linkage mechanism closes the baffle again, sealing the top of the garbage bag.

[0024] Users can open the door panel, tie the top of the garbage bag into a bundle, and cut it with a cutter to replace the garbage bag, making it easy to change the garbage bag. Attached Figure Description

[0032] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid obscuring the invention. Example 1

[0033] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the foot-operated trash can disclosed in this embodiment includes a base 1, a body 2, a trash bag compartment 3, a lid 4, a pedal 5, a first connecting rod 6, two levers 7, two first reset parts 8, two first limiting parts 9, a linkage mechanism, and two baffles 10. The body 2 is detachably connected to the top of the base 1, the trash bag compartment 3 is detachably connected to the top opening of the body 2, the lid 4 is hinged to the top of the trash bag compartment 3, the pedal 5 is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the base 1, one end of the first connecting rod 6 is hinged to the pedal 5, and the other end is connected to the lid 4, the levers 7 are rotatably disposed on the side of the first connecting rod 6, the linkage mechanism is disposed in the inner cavity of the trash bag compartment 3 and forms a clutch structure with the levers 7 to control the opening and closing of the baffles 10, the first limiting parts 9 are disposed on the side of the first connecting rod 6 and abut against the top of the levers 7, the first reset parts 8 are connected to the levers 7 and the first connecting rod 6, and the pedal 5 drives the first connecting rod 6 to move upward, causing the levers 7 to engage with the linkage mechanism. When the mechanism rotates, after the lever 7 moves upward and separates from the linkage mechanism, the lever 7 is reset by the first reset member 8. When the user presses the pedal 5, the first connecting rod 6 moves upward, causing the lever 7 to contact the linkage mechanism and rotate. When the lever 7 moves upward and separates from the linkage mechanism, the lever 7 is reset by the first reset member 8. The lid 4 is then opened by the first connecting rod 6. When the lid 4 is open, the baffle 10 is closed, sealing the upper part of the garbage bag. The garbage disposed of by the user falls on the baffle 10, preventing odors from escaping from the garbage bag and avoiding discomfort to the user. When the user releases the pedal 5, the first connecting rod 6 moves downward, causing the lever 7 to contact the linkage mechanism. Under the action of the first limit part 9, the lever 7 will not rotate, allowing the linkage mechanism to control the baffle 10 to open, allowing the garbage to fall to the bottom of the garbage bag. When the lever 7 moves downward and separates from the linkage mechanism, the linkage mechanism controls the baffle 10 to close again, sealing the upper part of the garbage bag.

[0034] For example, the first reset element 8 may be a torsion spring. When the toggle block 7 moves upward and separates from the linkage mechanism, the toggle block 7 is reset by the torsion force of the torsion spring.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the linkage mechanism includes two positioning shells 11, four levers 12, four second reset parts 13, four second connecting rods 14, two transmission rods 15, and four second limiting parts 18. The positioning shells 11 are detachably connected to the inner cavity of the garbage bag compartment 3. A slide rail 16 is provided on the side of the positioning shell 11, and the end of the baffle 10 is slidably placed in the slide rail 16. The first end of the second connecting rod 14 is hinged to the baffle 10, and the other end is hinged to the lever 12. The lever 12 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the positioning shell 11, and a stop block 17 is provided on its top. The second limiting parts 18 are provided on the side wall of the positioning shell 11 and abut against the side of the stop block 17. One end of the transmission rod 15 is connected to one lever 12, and the other end is connected to another lever 12. The second reset member 13 is connected to the lever 12 and the positioning shell 11. The first connecting rod 6 moves down, causing the lever 7 to press down on the stop block 17 and drive the lever 12 to rotate. When the lever 7 moves down to separate from the stop block 17, the lever 12 is reset by the second reset member 13. The first connecting rod 6 moves down, causing the lever 7 to press down on the stop block 17. Under the action of the first limiting part 9, the lever 7 will not rotate, so that the stop block 17 drives the lever 12 to rotate. Under the action of the second connecting rod 14, the baffle 10 slides open along the slide rail 16, allowing the garbage to fall into the bottom of the garbage bag. When the lever 7 moves down to separate from the stop block 17, the lever 12 is reset by the second reset member 13, so that the baffle 10 closes again and seals the top of the garbage bag.

[0036] For example, the second reset member 13 may be a torsion spring. When the toggle block 7 moves down to separate from the stop block 17, the torsion force of the toggle spring resets the lever 12.

[0037] It should be noted that when the toggle block 7 moves upward and contacts the stop block 17, the lever 12 will not rotate under the action of the second limiting part 18, so that the toggle block 7 can rotate when it moves upward and contacts the stop block 17, thereby allowing the toggle block 7 to move upward and separate from the stop block 17.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the top of the first connecting rod 6 is provided with two sliding grooves 19, and the bottom surface of the bucket lid 4 is provided with a connecting part 20. The side of the connecting part 20 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 19. When the first connecting rod 6 moves upward, the side of the connecting part 20 slides in the sliding groove 19, so that the first connecting rod 6 pushes the bucket lid 4 open.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, a third reset member 21 is provided on the side of the first connecting rod 6. The bottom of the third reset member 21 is connected to the base 1. The first connecting rod 6 is driven to move down through the third reset member 21, so that the first connecting rod 6 is reset.

[0040] For example, the third reset member 21 can be a tension spring, which drives the first link 6 to move down through the tension of the tension spring, so that the first link 6 is reset.

[0041] like Figure 4As shown, the top surface of the pedal 5 is provided with a blind hole 22, and an elastic element 23 is provided inside the blind hole 22. The top of the elastic element 23 abuts against the bottom of the base 1. During the process of the first connecting rod 6 moving down to drive the pedal 5 to reset, the elastic element 23 plays a buffering role to prevent the pedal 5 from colliding with the base 1 and being damaged.

[0042] For example, the elastic element 23 can be a spring, which provides a cushioning effect through the spring force.

[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, the bin body 2 is provided with a door panel 24 and a through groove 25. The door panel 24 covers the opening of the through groove 25. A cutter 26 is provided on the wall of the through groove 25. The user can open the door panel 24, tie the upper part of the garbage bag into a bundle, and cut it with the cutter 26 to replace the garbage bag.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, a suction cup 27 is detachably connected to the bottom of the base 1, which can position the trash can on the ground. Example 2

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the foot-operated trash can disclosed in this embodiment also includes a pressure ring 28. The pressure ring 28 is detachably connected to the top of the trash bag compartment 3, and the lid 4 is closed on the opening of the pressure ring 28 to improve the tightness of the lid 4.

[0046] It should be noted that the lid 4 can also be hinged to the pressure ring 28.

[0047] The preferred 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 specific details of the above embodiments.
