Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen and bathroom, in particular to a cover plate of a garbage can placement mechanism for a sink. Background Art

[0002] The applicant's prior patent "2024208518662" discloses a trash can placement mechanism for a sink and a sink. In this patent, a placement cavity for accommodating a trash can and a cover plate for opening / closing the opening of the placement cavity are disclosed, and two perforations are provided on the cover plate. In actual use, the user's fingers pass through the perforations to flip the cover plate (to avoid adding additional handles and to ensure the flatness of the cover plate's appearance). Although a pad is provided between the two perforations in this patent, when in use, the edges of the bottom of the perforation will still come into contact with the user's hand, causing the user to feel a cutting sensation and a poor user experience; in addition, the odor in the trash can will emanate from the perforations, causing the odor of garbage to appear in the kitchen. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the utility model mainly solves the problem that the cover of the trash can placement mechanism previously applied for may cut the hand when it is flipped, resulting in a poor user experience. By providing a convex ridge section at the adjacent edges of the two perforated bottom surfaces, the outer surface of the convex ridge section is arc-shaped. When the user flips the cover through the perforations, the hand contacts the convex ridge part, avoiding the feeling of cutting the hand.

[0004] The utility model mainly solves the problem that the perforations on the cover plate of the trash can placement mechanism of the prior application may cause the odor in the trash can to escape, resulting in odor in the kitchen. A partition is rotatably provided at the perforation, and the perforation is closed by the partition to connect with the outside world, thereby blocking the odor from being emitted from the perforation. At the same time, the partition is rotatably connected to the perforation, which is convenient for the user to put his hand into the perforation to flip the cover plate.

[0005] A cover plate for a trash can placement mechanism for a sink, comprising two perforations symmetrically arranged on the cover plate, the two perforations being arranged at intervals, convex ridge sections being arranged at adjacent edges of the bottom surfaces of the two perforations, the outer surfaces of the convex ridge sections being arc-shaped and extending in a direction away from the center of the perforations, and a pad for a person's hand to grasp being also provided on the bottom surface between the two convex ridge sections.

[0006] In the present solution, the cover plate is rotatably connected to the opening of the placement cavity, and the opening of the placement cavity is opened and closed by flipping the cover plate. When in use, the user inserts his fingers into the two perforations, holds the cushion block, and then flips the cover plate up or down. During the flipping process, the fingertips pinch the cushion block, and the part near the knuckles of the fingers rests on the convex ridges. By providing the cushion block, the holding strength of the cover plate is increased to ensure that the cover plate will not fall out of the hand easily when flipping the cover plate. By providing the arc-shaped convex ridge section, the contact area between the lower edge of the perforation and the finger is increased, avoiding the feeling of cutting the hand.

[0007] Preferably, a partition is rotatably connected to the outer side of the bottom of the perforation, and the plate surface of the partition is kept in contact with the bottom surface of the convex ridge section by a rebound component. By setting the rebound component, the partition is pressed against the convex ridge section, and the perforation is closed to prevent the odor in the trash can from escaping from the perforation. The partition has a closed state and an open state. Specifically, when the partition is in a closed state and there is no external force, the elastic force of the rebound component presses the partition against the convex ridge section, and the partition covers the perforation. When the cover needs to be flipped, the user's fingers will press against the cover when passing through the perforation, and the partition will be separated from the convex ridge section until the user's fingers hold the pad, and the partition is in an open state.

[0008] Preferably, the rebound component includes two torsion springs and two bosses symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the perforated bottom surface. The partition is rotatably connected to the two bosses through a rotating shaft. The two torsion springs are respectively located on the rotating shafts close to the bosses. The torsion spring includes a spring ring, a first folding foot and a second folding foot. The first folding foot abuts against the bottom surface of the cover plate, and the second folding foot abuts against the bottom surface of the partition. The spring ring is sleeved on the rotating shaft and has a clearance with the rotating shaft. The torsion spring has a simple structure, occupies a small installation space and has a low price, and is suitable for the rebound component mentioned in the utility model.

[0009] Preferably, the left and right side walls of the cushion block are both provided with concave arc surfaces. By providing the concave arc surfaces, the cushion block is ensured to fit the user's fingers and the contact area between the cushion block and the user's fingers is increased, thereby improving the comfort of holding.

[0010] Preferably, the concave arc surface is provided with anti-skid patterns, which increase the friction between the fingers and the pad, and further reduce the risk of slipping off the hand when flipping the cover.

[0011] Preferably, the distance between the two perforations is 3 to 6 cm.

[0012] Preferably, the ridge section is located on the inner side of the perforation.

[0013] Preferably, the rib segment is arranged around the perforation.

[0014] Preferably, the convex ridge section is coated with a soft layer. The soft layer further increases the comfort of the fingers against the convex ridge section and enhances the sealing between the partition and the convex ridge section.

[0015] Preferably, a groove or a pattern is provided on the top surface of the cover plate, and the groove or the pattern is located on one side of the two perforations and forms a pattern with the two perforations.

[0016] The principle and beneficial effects of the utility model using the above technical solution are:

[0017] 1. By providing convex ridge sections at the edges adjacent to the bottom surfaces of two perforations, the outer surface of the convex ridge sections is in an arc shape. When the user flips the cover through the perforations, the hand contacts the convex ridge section, avoiding the feeling of cutting the hand.

[0018] 2. By setting the pad, the holding strength of the cover is increased to ensure that the cover will not fall out easily when flipping the cover.

[0019] 3. By providing perforations and pads, there is no need to install additional handles protruding from the cover, thus achieving the purpose of a smooth appearance of the cover.

[0020] 4. By providing a partition with opening and closing perforations, the odor in the trash can is prevented from escaping from the perforations. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the utility model, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0031] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0032] Embodiment 1:

[0033] The specific implementation of the utility model is as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model provides a cover plate for a trash can placement mechanism for a sink, comprising two through holes 2 symmetrically arranged on the cover plate 1, the two through holes 2 being arranged at intervals, and convex ridge sections 3 are provided at the adjacent edges of the bottom surfaces of the two through holes 2, the outer surface of the convex ridge section 3 is arc-shaped and extends in a direction away from the center of the through hole 2, and a pad 13 for a person's hand to grasp is also provided on the bottom surface between the two convex ridge sections 3.

[0034] In this solution, the cover plate 1 is rotatably connected to the opening of the placement cavity. The opening of the placement cavity of the trash can placement mechanism 15 is opened and closed by flipping the cover plate 1. When in use, the user inserts his fingers into the two perforations 2, holds the cushion block 13, and then flips the cover plate 1 up or down. During the flipping process, the fingertips pinch the cushion block 13, and the part near the knuckles of the fingers rests on the ridges. By providing the cushion block 13, the grip strength of the cover plate 1 is increased to ensure that the cover plate 1 will not fall out of the hand easily when flipping the cover plate 1. By providing the ridge section 3 with an arc-shaped outer surface, the contact area between the lower edge of the perforation 2 and the finger is increased to avoid the feeling of cutting the hand. In addition, by flipping the cover plate 1 through the perforation 2, there is no need to install additional handles and other components to assist in flipping the cover plate 1. At the same time, the flatness of the appearance of the cover plate 1 is ensured, and a larger plane area is reserved for the operating table next to the sink 14.

[0035] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the rebound assembly includes two torsion springs 5, two bosses 6 symmetrically arranged on the outside of the bottom surface of the perforation 2, and the partition 4 is rotatably connected to the two bosses through a rotating shaft 16. The two torsion springs 5 ​​are respectively located on the rotating shaft 15 close to the boss 6. The torsion spring 5 includes a spring coil 7, a first folding leg 8 and a second folding leg 9. The first folding leg 7 is against the bottom surface of the cover plate 1, and the second folding leg 9 is against the bottom surface of the partition 6. The spring coil 7 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 16 and has a clearance fit with the rotating shaft 16. The torsion spring 5 has a simple structure, occupies a small installation space and is relatively low in price, and is suitable for the rebound assembly mentioned in the utility model. By setting the rebound assembly, the partition 4 is pressed against the convex ridge section 3, and the perforation 2 is closed to prevent the odor in the trash can from escaping from the perforation 2. The partition 4 has a closed state and an open state. Specifically, when the partition 4 is in the closed state and there is no external force, the elastic force of the rebound component presses the partition 4 on the ridge segment 3, and the partition 4 covers the perforation 2. When the cover plate 1 needs to be flipped, the user's finger will press on the cover plate 1 when passing through the perforation 2, and the partition 4 will be separated from the ridge segment 3 until the user's finger holds the cushion block 13, and the partition 4 is in the open state. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the reverse rotation angle of the partition 4 is less than 45 degrees during the process of flipping the cover plate 1. The small rotation angle of the partition 4 can avoid the situation where the partition 4 pinches the hand.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the left and right side walls of the pad 13 are both provided with a concave arc surface 10. By providing the concave arc surface 10, it is ensured to fit with the user's fingers and the contact area between the pad 13 and the user's fingers is increased, thereby improving the comfort of holding. In addition, anti-slip grooves 11 are also provided on the concave arc surface 10. By providing the anti-slip grooves 11, the friction between the fingers and the pad 13 is increased, further reducing the risk of slipping off the hand when flipping the cover 1. In this embodiment, the spacing between the two perforations 2 is 3 to 6 cm. In actual use, the spacing between the perforations 2 is set at 3 to 6 cm, which can meet the finger length of most users, and the pad 13 can be held after passing through the perforations 2.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the rib segment 3 is arranged around the through hole 2. In this embodiment, the rib segment 3 is annular and surrounds the lower edge of the through hole 2. The rib segment 3 surrounds the whole, which reduces the difficulty of processing the cover plate 1.

[0038] The ridge segment 3 is coated with a soft layer. The soft layer further increases the comfort of the fingers against the ridge segment 3, and at the same time enhances the sealing between the partition 4 and the ridge segment 3, further ensuring that the smell of the trash can will not be released from the perforation 2. In this embodiment, the soft layer is a rubber layer or a silicone layer.

[0039] The top surface of the cover plate 1 is provided with a groove 12 or a pattern, which is located on one side of the two through holes 2 and forms a pattern with the two through holes 2. Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the groove 12 is used as an example for explanation. The two perforations 2 can form facial expressions such as smiling faces, crying faces, and pouting lips with the groove 12, which increases the fun of kitchen decoration; in addition, it can also be consistent with the decoration style of the kitchen. In addition, in actual use, a glass plate can be laid on the cover plate 1, and the glass plate has corresponding through holes at the perforations to further enhance the aesthetics. It can be understood that drawing a pattern corresponding to the perforations 2 on the top surface of the cover plate 1 can also achieve the same effect as the groove 12, which will not be repeated here.

[0040] Embodiment 2:

[0041] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that Figure 7 As shown, the rib segment 3 is located inside the perforation 2 and does not completely surround the perforation 2. The rib segment 3 is a straight segment or a ring segment. It can be understood that the rib segment 3 does not need to completely surround the perforation 2. In actual work, the user's hand is in contact with the rib segment 3 located inside the perforation 2. The use of a part of the rib segment installed on the bottom surface of the cover plate 1 can save production materials and reduce production costs.

[0042] The above schematically describes the present invention and its implementation methods, which are not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if ordinary technicians in this field are inspired by it and design structural methods and embodiments similar to the technical solution without creativity without departing from the purpose of the present invention, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
