Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of household trash cans, specifically to a novel trash can. Background Technology

[0002] The most basic function of a trash can is to hold garbage and prevent it from scattering and polluting the environment. At the same time, trash cans manage garbage and waste from kitchens, bathrooms, offices, and public places. In daily use, every household receives many plastic bags of different sizes when buying groceries or other items. Many families simply place these plastic bags directly over the trash can, thus reducing the need to buy trash bags and lowering living costs.

[0003] Plastic bags come in a variety of sizes in daily life, while the depth of trash cans is fixed. If the plastic bag is too large, it can still be used on the trash can, but if the plastic bag is too small, it cannot be used. This leads to the waste of some plastic bags, so a new type of trash can needs to be designed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this invention is to overcome the issue that the fixed depth of existing trash cans prevents the use of plastic bags of different sizes used in daily life.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a novel trash can, comprising: a bottom cylinder with a recessed mounting groove at the bottom, a sleeve coaxially slidably sleeved on the outside of the bottom cylinder, a mounting plate assembled on the bottom of the bottom cylinder and covering the mounting groove, a vertical lifting rod assembled on the mounting plate, a lid that can be closed on the top of the sleeve, and a top cover mechanism assembled on the mounting plate, wherein the top of the lifting rod is fixedly connected to a connecting frame connected to the outer wall of the sleeve, and the lid is hinged to the connecting frame; The top cover mechanism includes a rocker plate that is hinged to the mounting plate in the middle via a hinge seat and extends outward through the mounting groove at both ends, and an adjustable connecting rod whose lower end is hinged to the end of the rocker plate near the lifting rod and whose upper end is hinged to the bucket lid.

[0006] Preferably, the connecting frame is equipped with a pair of symmetrically arranged arc-shaped pressure rods, each hinged to the connecting frame via a vertical hinge shaft. A torsion spring is mounted on the hinge shaft, one end of which abuts against the arc-shaped pressure rod. The arc-shaped pressure rod is lower than the top of the sleeve.

[0007] Preferably, the upper end of the side wall of the bottom cylinder is inclined away from the axis of the bottom cylinder, the upper end of the bottom cylinder is provided with a first annular flange protruding outward along the same axis, the upper end of the side wall of the sleeve is inclined away from the axis of the sleeve, and the lower end of the sleeve is provided with a second annular flange protruding inward along the same axis, the inner diameter of the second annular flange being smaller than the outer diameter of the first annular flange.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom cylinder is provided with an inner cylinder, and the top of the inner cylinder is provided with a third annular flange that can contact the upper surface of the first annular flange. The top of the third annular flange is rotatably fitted with a handle.

[0009] Preferably, the lifting rod includes a vertical mounting cylinder fixedly connected to the mounting plate, a sliding arm vertically slidably inserted into the upper end of the mounting cylinder, and a first locking bolt, wherein the top of the sliding arm is fixedly connected to the connecting frame; A strip-shaped through groove is provided along the same length direction on the sliding arm. A threaded seat is fitted on the top side wall of the mounting cylinder. A window portion is provided on the side wall of the mounting cylinder away from the threaded seat, which is opposite to the threaded seat, for the head of the first locking bolt to pass through.

[0017] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0018] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "inner," and "outer" in the terminology represent the orientation of the term in its normal use or are common terms understood by those skilled in the art, and should not be regarded as limitations on the term.

[0019] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a new type of trash can includes: a bottom cylinder 2 with a recessed mounting groove 1 at the bottom, a sleeve 3 slidably sleeved on the outside of the bottom cylinder 2 along a coaxial axis, a mounting plate 4 assembled on the bottom of the bottom cylinder 2 and covering the mounting groove 1, a vertical lifting rod assembled on the mounting plate 4, a lid 5 that can cover the top of the sleeve 3, and a top cover mechanism assembled on the mounting plate 4. The top of the lifting rod is fixedly connected to a connecting frame 6 that is connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 3, and the lid 5 is hinged to the connecting frame 6. The top cover mechanism includes a rocker plate 7 that is hinged to the mounting plate 4 in the middle via a hinge seat and extends outward through the mounting groove 1 at both ends, and an adjustable connecting rod whose lower end is hinged to the end of the rocker plate 7 near the lifting rod and whose upper end is hinged to the bucket cover 5.

[0020] In the above technical solution, plastic bags or garbage bags can be used by placing them on the bottom cylinder 2 and the sleeve 3. When different sizes of plastic bags or garbage bags are used, the height of the lifting rod can be adjusted to drive the sleeve 3 to move vertically, thereby increasing the gap between the bottom cylinder 2 and the top of the sleeve 3. This allows plastic bags or garbage bags of different sizes to be placed on the sleeve 3 and the bottom cylinder 2, making it highly practical. After adjusting the height of the lifting rod, the height of the connecting rod is also adjusted accordingly. By stepping on the rocker arm 7, the user can lift the lid 5 upwards through the connecting rod. By adjusting the lifting rod and the connecting rod, it can not only accommodate garbage bags and plastic bags of different sizes, but also close the lid 5 on the top of the sleeve 3. The lid 5 can also be opened through the top cover mechanism to prevent odors and insects. When there are holes in the plastic bag or garbage bag, the garbage or liquid will fall into the bottom tube 2, which makes it easy to clean and wash.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the connecting frame 6 is equipped with a pair of symmetrically arranged arc-shaped pressure rods 8, both of which are hinged to the connecting frame 6 via a vertical hinge shaft. A torsion spring 9 is mounted on the hinge shaft, one end of which abuts against the arc-shaped pressure rod 8. The arc-shaped pressure rod 8 is lower than the top of the sleeve 3.

[0022] In the above technical solution, after the garbage bag or plastic bag is placed on the bottom cylinder 2 and the sleeve 3, the open end of the garbage bag or plastic bag can be turned over so that it fits on the outer wall of the open end of the sleeve 3. Then, a pair of arc-shaped pressure rods 8 can hold the end of the plastic bag or garbage bag, which can not only ensure that the top of the sleeve 3 avoids contact with garbage and keeps the top of the sleeve 3 clean, but also prevent the garbage bag or plastic bag from loosening.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper end of the side wall of the bottom cylinder 2 is inclined away from the axis of the bottom cylinder 2, and the upper end of the bottom cylinder 2 is provided with a first annular flange protruding outward along the same axis. The upper end of the side wall of the sleeve 3 is inclined away from the axis of the sleeve 3, and the lower end of the sleeve 3 is provided with a second annular flange protruding inward along the same axis. The inner diameter of the second annular flange is smaller than the outer diameter of the first annular flange.

[0024] In the above technical solution, the side walls of both the sleeve 3 and the bottom cylinder 2 are inclined to facilitate demolding during the manufacturing process. The inner diameter of the second annular flange is smaller than the outer diameter of the first annular flange. That is, after the sleeve 3 and the bottom cylinder 2 are assembled together, the second annular flange will be located between the first annular flange and the mounting plate 4, thus avoiding the problem of the sleeve 3 and the bottom cylinder 2 separating during the adjustment process.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an inner cylinder 10 is provided inside the bottom cylinder 2, and a third annular flange protrudes from the top of the inner cylinder 10, which can contact the upper surface of the first annular flange. A handle is rotatably mounted on the top of the third annular flange.

[0026] In the above technical solution, the inner cylinder 10 can receive leaked garbage or liquid, which is convenient for cleaning up the leaked garbage and for cleaning the inner cylinder 10. Compared with directly cleaning the bottom cylinder 2, it is more convenient to clean and tidy up the inner cylinder 10.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the lifting rod includes a vertical mounting cylinder 11 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 4, a sliding arm 12 vertically slidably inserted into the upper end of the mounting cylinder 11, and a first locking bolt 13, wherein the top of the sliding arm 12 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 6. A strip-shaped through groove 14 is provided through the sliding arm 12 along the same length direction. A threaded seat is fitted on the top side wall of the mounting cylinder 11. A window portion is provided through the side wall of the mounting cylinder 11 away from the threaded seat, which is opposite to the threaded seat, for the head of the first locking bolt 13 to pass through. The first locking bolt 13 passes through the strip-shaped through groove 14 and is fitted onto the threaded seat.

[0028] In the above technical solution, by loosening the first locking bolt 13, the sliding arm 12 can slide on the mounting cylinder 11, and the sleeve 3 can move vertically on the bottom cylinder 2 through the connecting frame 6. Then, the first locking bolt 13 is tightened so that the end of the first locking bolt 13 tightly abuts against the sliding arm 12, thereby fixing the sliding arm 12. The cooperation between the first locking bolt 13 and the strip groove 14 can prevent the sliding arm 12 and the mounting cylinder 11 from separating.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the connecting rod includes a hollow first connecting rod 15 with its lower end hinged to the rocker arm 7, a second connecting rod 16 that slides into the first connecting rod 15 in the same length direction and has its upper end hinged to the bucket lid 5, and a second locking bolt 17 that is threadedly assembled to the upper end of the first connecting rod 15 and whose end can abut against the first connecting rod 15.

[0030] In the above technical solution, by loosening the second locking bolt 17, the first connecting rod 15 can slide on the second connecting rod 16; When making adjustments, first loosen the first locking bolt 13 and the second locking bolt 17, adjust the height of the lifting rod, then put the bucket cover 5 on the sleeve 3, and then tighten the second locking bolt 17.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the end of the rocker 7 away from the connecting rod is provided with a pedal portion 18.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the end of the arc-shaped pressure bar 8 away from the hinge axis is provided with a pull ring portion 19.
