Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of trash cans, and in particular to an induction-type flip-top trash can. Background Art

[0002] Trash can, also known as waste bin or trash can, refers to the container for holding garbage, mostly made of metal or plastic. When used, plastic bags are put in. When there is too much garbage, the bags can be tied up and thrown away. Trash can is a container for "hiding dirt and filth" in people's lives. Most trash cans have lids to prevent the smell of garbage from spreading. Some trash cans can be opened by foot. Most household trash cans are placed in the kitchen to store kitchen waste. Some families will place one in each main room.

[0003] Chinese patent CN215708998U discloses a pedal bag-breaking trash can, in which a stainless steel pedal is arranged at the front end of the trash can, and the stainless steel pedal is connected to the trash can cover arranged at the rear end of the trash can through a pedal shaft seat, a shaft bracket and a rear cover shaft. The trash can cover is opened by pressing down the stainless steel pedal. This trash can has the following disadvantages when in use:

[0004] 1. After the trash can is used for a long time, since its transmission method is that the pedal shaft seat, shaft bracket and rear cover shaft cooperate with each other to directly support the trash can lid to open, the pedal shaft seat, shaft bracket and rear cover shaft will be deformed and aged due to long-term pressure, and the trash can lid will not be fully opened.

[0005] 2. To keep the lid of the trash can open, the stainless steel pedal needs to be pressed down continuously. When people need to throw away garbage multiple times, they can only open the trash can repeatedly or press down the stainless steel pedal for a long time, which is inconvenient for people to operate. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of this technical solution is to provide an induction-type flip-top trash can, which uses a driving motor as a power source and changes the traditional supporting method of opening the lid to a semi-buried opening method, thereby solving the problem that the supporting method of opening the lid causes rapid wear of parts and the mechanical operation of opening the lid is cumbersome.

[0007] The purpose of this technical solution is achieved in this way:

[0008] An induction-type flip-top trash can comprises: a barrel body, the upper end of which is provided with an opening; a barrel cover, which is hinged on the inner walls on the left and right sides of the opening, and the hinge point between the barrel cover and the barrel body is located at the middle and rear part of the barrel cover; and a driving assembly, which is arranged in the barrel body and is used to drive the barrel cover to open and close;

[0009] Wherein, the driving component includes: a sensor, which is arranged on the barrel cover and is used to receive an external sensing signal; a driving motor, whose output end is provided with transmission gear teeth and is arranged in the barrel body; and a transmission member, which includes a transmission shaft and a transmission gear, and the transmission gear is formed on the rear end circumference of the transmission shaft and meshes with the transmission gear teeth; wherein the front end of the transmission shaft passes through the barrel body and is connected to the barrel cover, and the connection point is the hinge point between the barrel cover and the barrel body; when the sensor senses the external sensing signal, the driving motor works to rotate the transmission gear, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the barrel cover.

[0010] Preferably, the rear end of the side edge of the barrel cover is point A, and the midpoint of the side edge of the barrel cover is point B; the hinge point of the barrel cover and the barrel body assembly is located in the vertical area between point A and point B.

[0011] Preferably, the distance between point A and point B is divided into three equal parts to form point C and point D, the point C is closer to point A, and the point D is closer to point B; the hinge point of the barrel cover and barrel body assembly is located in the vertical area between point C and point D.

[0012] Preferably, the barrel cover is provided with a clamping portion protruding on both sides, and the front end of the transmission shaft is provided with a clamping groove; when the barrel cover is installed, the clamping portion is clamped in the clamping groove.

[0013] Preferably, extension parts are provided on both sides of the barrel cover, and the clamping part is provided at the lower end of the extension part.

[0014] Preferably, the rear end of the barrel body is recessed inwardly to form an avoidance portion, and the rear end of the barrel cover is protruding with an edge; the edge is movably placed in the avoidance portion and movably abuts against the opening.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution has the following outstanding and beneficial technical effects:

[0016] 1. The barrel cover designed in this technical solution is hinged on the left and right side walls of the opening. The driving component realizes the opening of the barrel cover by controlling the rotation of one end of the barrel cover. Compared with the opening method in which the driving component directly pushes the middle part of the rear end of the flap to support the barrel cover to open, the opening method of this application is more labor-saving and stable.

[0017] 2. The lid opening method designed in this technical solution is semi-buried. When it is opened, part of the lid is located inside the barrel body, which reduces the space height required when the lid is opened, making the trash can more convenient to use.

[0018] 3. The hinge point of the barrel cover and the barrel body designed in this technical solution is located in the middle and rear part of the barrel cover. When the barrel cover is flipped open, it only needs to overcome the weight of the front end part of the barrel cover hinge point, and the weight of the rear end part of the hinge point will help the barrel cover to open. By changing the hinge point of the barrel cover, the barrel cover becomes a labor-saving lever when it is opened, which can reduce the pressure of the barrel cover on the drive assembly, thereby increasing the service life of the trash can.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The specific implementation of the technical solution is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an induction-type flip-top trash can includes a barrel body 1, a barrel cover 2 and a drive component 3. The present application mainly improves the opening method and setting method of the barrel cover 2, changes the original mechanical opening method to a motor-driven opening, and changes the original structure in which the barrel cover 2 is hinged at the rear end of the barrel body 1 to a structure in which it is hinged at the side end of the barrel body 1. If the barrel cover 2 is hinged at the rear end of the barrel body 1, it is necessary to overcome all the weight of the barrel cover 2 when opening the barrel cover 2, and the position farther away from the hinge point has a longer force arm, which causes greater pressure on the component in the trash can used to control the opening of the barrel cover 2, which will accelerate the deformation and aging of the component after long-term use.

[0027] At the same time, since the hinge point is located near the middle and rear part of the lid 2, the lid 2 is opened in a semi-buried manner. When it is opened, part of the lid 2 is located inside the barrel body 1, which reduces the space height required when the lid 2 is opened, making the trash can more convenient to use.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the driving assembly 3 includes a sensor 4, a driving motor 5 and a transmission member 7. The sensor 4 is arranged on the barrel cover 2 and is located in the middle of the front end of the barrel cover 2 for receiving an external sensing signal. The external sensing signal is that a person approaches or is placed above the sensor 4; the output end of the driving motor 5 is provided with a transmission gear 6, which is arranged on the side inside the barrel body 1. The driving motor 5 is also provided with a plurality of reduction gears to ensure that the barrel cover 2 is opened at a suitable speed; the transmission member 7 includes a transmission shaft 8 and a transmission gear 9. The transmission gear 9 is formed on the rear end circumference of the transmission shaft 8 and meshes with the transmission gear 6. The transmission member 7 is arranged on the barrel body 1, and the front end of the transmission shaft 8 passes through the barrel body 1 and is connected to the barrel cover 2, and the connection point is the hinge point between the barrel cover 2 and the barrel body 1; when the sensor 4 senses the external sensing signal, the driving motor 5 works to rotate the transmission gear 9, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the barrel cover 2.

[0029] like Figure 2-4 As shown, clamping parts 10 are protruding on both sides of the barrel cover 2, and a clamping groove 11 is opened at the front end of the transmission shaft 8; when the barrel cover 2 is installed, the clamping part 10 is clamped in the clamping groove 11, and the arrangement of the clamping part 10 and the clamping groove 11 can ensure that the transmission shaft 8 and the barrel cover 2 are relatively fixed, and the barrel body 1 can be directly driven to flip open by the rotation of the transmission shaft 8.

[0030] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, extensions 12 are provided on both sides of the barrel cover 2, and the clamping portion 10 is provided at the lower end of the extension 12. The extension 12 is designed to ensure the stability of the connection between the clamping portion 10 and the barrel cover 2. The rotation of the clamping portion 10 is transmitted to the barrel cover 2 through the extension 12, and the setting of the extension 12 provides an optional position for the hinge point of the barrel cover 2 and the transmission gear 9. The closer the hinge point is to the middle of the barrel cover 2, the less effort it takes to rotate.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the rear end of the side of the barrel cover 2 is point A, and the midpoint of the side of the barrel cover 2 is point B; the hinge point of the barrel cover 2 and the barrel body 1 assembly is located in the vertical area between point A and point B.

[0032] Furthermore, the distance between point A and point B is divided into three equal parts to form point C and point D, the point close to point A is point C, and the point close to point B is point D; the hinge point of the barrel cover 2 and barrel body 1 assembly is located in the vertical area between point C and point D.

[0033] Since the hinge point is arranged below the barrel cover 2 and close to the middle and rear part of the barrel cover 2, when the barrel cover 2 is opened, its rear end will touch the barrel body 1. Therefore, the rear end of the barrel body 1 is recessed inward to form an avoidance portion 13. The setting of the avoidance portion 13 can ensure the smooth opening of the barrel cover 2. In addition, the barrel cover 2 has a protruding edge 14 at the rear end. The edge 14 is movably placed in the avoidance portion 13 and movably abuts against the opening. The edge 14 can ensure that the front end of the barrel cover 2 will not drop excessively when it is closed.
