Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of trash cans, in particular to a trash can. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, almost every household has multiple trash cans, which are placed in different locations in the home, such as the kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. However, when setting up trash cans in some areas with small spaces or where the top of the trash can is blocked, the opening of the lid of the traditional flip-top trash can will be restricted, thereby affecting the user experience.

[0003] For this purpose, a trash can with a horizontally sliding lid is proposed. Most of the existing trash cans with horizontally sliding lids use a gear-rack combination to open the lid. For example, a rack is provided on the lid, and a gear is provided on the barrel body. The gear is driven by a motor to rotate and drive the rack to move horizontally, thereby driving the lid to move horizontally. However, the gear-rack combination method requires high production precision, which will increase production costs. At the same time, garbage in the barrel body can easily get stuck between adjacent teeth of the gear-rack, causing the horizontal movement of the lid to get stuck, thereby affecting the user experience. In addition, during the cooperation between the gear and the rack, the collision between the teeth will produce noise. Combined with the sound of the motor, the noise during the trash can lid opening process is relatively large, and the user experience is poor. Utility Model Content

[0004] (1) Technical issues to be resolved

[0005] The utility model mainly solves the deficiencies in the prior art, and specifically relates to a trash can, which solves the problems in the prior art of the trash can driving the lid to slide horizontally by means of a gear-rack cooperation method, which has high production precision requirements, high costs, is prone to jamming, and causes high noise during the driving process.

[0006] (II) Technical solution

[0007] The utility model relates to a trash can, comprising a trash can body, and also comprising: a first cover body and a second cover body, the first cover body being mounted in cooperation with the trash can body, the first cover body being provided with a trash delivery port; a driving assembly, comprising at least a first connecting member and a second connecting member, the first connecting member and the second connecting member being rotatably connected, the end of the first connecting member away from the second connecting member being connected to the first cover body or the trash can body, and the end of the second connecting member away from the first connecting member being connected to the second cover body; the first connecting member being driven to drive the second connecting member to move, and the second connecting member driving the second cover body to slide relative to the first cover body to open or close the trash delivery port.

[0008] The advantage is that the second cover body is driven to move by the linkage of the first connecting member and the second connecting member. There is no restriction on the structure of the first connecting member and the second connecting member. As long as the first connecting member is driven to transmit to the second connecting member to drive the second cover body to move, the design accuracy requirements of the first connecting member and the second connecting member do not need to be very high. The two only need to ensure that they can be rotatably connected. The production cost is lower than that of the gear-rack. At the same time, the driving component has no matching teeth, so the garbage will not be stuck in the teeth and jammed. In order to ensure the smooth driving of the second cover body, there will be a relatively large gap between the first connecting member and the second connecting member when they are linked. Even if the garbage is stuck in the gap, the driving component will not stop working. In addition, the connection parts of the first connecting member and the second connecting member and the cover body or the barrel body are rotationally connected, including the first connecting member and the second connecting member. The rotation connection method is also adopted, which reduces the collision between the structural parts during the driving process, thereby reducing the noise of the second cover body in the process of opening or closing the garbage delivery port.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the first connecting member and the second connecting member are both rod-shaped structures, and the first connecting member is driven to drive the second connecting member to move, so that the angle between the first connecting member and the second connecting member changes, thereby driving the second cover body to slide relative to the first cover body.

[0010] The advantage is that when the second cover body is driven by a connecting rod, the connecting rod has the characteristics of simple manufacturing, low cost, low precision requirements, high transmission efficiency and not easy to damage. It can also adapt to some more complex scenarios. The second cover body is driven to move by changing the angle between the first connecting member and the second connecting member, that is, the first connecting member and the second connecting member are close to or away from each other, which can also save space for the driving assembly in the direction of movement of the second cover body.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, when the second cover opens the garbage inlet, the angle between the second connecting member and the first connecting member is α, and when the second cover closes the garbage inlet, the angle between the second connecting member and the first connecting member is β, wherein α<β.

[0012] The advantage is that when the second cover is opened, the first connecting member and the second connecting member are relatively close to each other, which can save the space occupied by the drive assembly; when the second cover is closed, the first connecting member and the second connecting member are relatively far away from each other, so that the first connecting member and the second connecting member are relatively spread out to facilitate pushing the second cover to move. α<β is more in line with structural design habits.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the first connecting member is driven to rotate around its connection end with the first cover body or the barrel body, thereby driving the second connecting member to rotate around its connection end with the first connecting member.

[0014] The advantage is that the first connecting member drives the second connecting member to approach or move away from the first connecting member, thereby driving the second cover to move, so that neither the first connecting member nor the second connecting member needs to be designed very long, and it is not necessary to occupy too much space during the movement process, and the movement process of the first connecting member and the second connecting member will not interfere with garbage disposal.

[0015] In an alternative embodiment, when the second cover is switched between the states of opening and closing the garbage disposal opening, the connecting end of the second connecting member and the first connecting member moves in a curved line, and drives the connecting end of the second connecting member and the second cover to move horizontally, so that the second cover slides horizontally relative to the first cover.

[0016] The advantage is that the curved movement of the connecting ends of the second connecting member and the first connecting member drives the connecting end of the second connecting member and the second cover to move horizontally, so that the movement trajectories of the two connecting ends are different, avoiding interference between the two connecting ends during the movement process.

[0017] In an alternative embodiment, one end of the first connecting member connected to the first cover or the barrel body is defined as the first end, and one end of the second connecting member connected to the second cover is defined as the second end; when the second cover opens the garbage disposal opening, the first end and the second end are relatively close; when the second cover closes the garbage disposal opening, the first end and the second end are relatively far away.

[0018] The advantage is that when the second cover opens the garbage disposal opening, the first end and the second end are close, so that the first connecting member and the second connecting member approach each other. Thus, the second connecting member moves to an area away from the garbage disposal opening, avoiding interference between the garbage and the second connecting member during garbage disposal. When the second cover closes the garbage disposal opening, the first end and the second end are far away, so that the first connecting member and the second connecting member unfold, and the unfolding process applies a force to the second cover to make it slide, facilitating driving the second cover to move.

[0019] In an alternative embodiment, when the second cover opens the garbage disposal opening, there is a first straight line between the first end and the second end; when the second cover closes the garbage disposal opening, there is a second straight line between the first end and the second end; wherein, the first straight line and the second straight line form an acute angle.

[0020] The advantage is that the connecting end of the first connecting member and the barrel body or the first cover is located on one side of the movement track of the second cover, and this connecting end is used to arrange a driving part for driving the first connecting member to move, so as to save space in the moving direction of the second cover.

[0021] In an optional embodiment, the driving assembly includes a driving part, which is arranged in the first cover body or the barrel body. The output end of the driving part is connected to the first connecting member, and is suitable for causing the second connecting member and the first connecting member to rotate relative to each other, thereby causing the second cover body to slide horizontally relative to the first cover body.

[0022] The advantage is that the first connecting member is driven to move by the driving part, which has higher driving efficiency, saves manpower, and provides a better user experience.

[0023] In an optional embodiment, a sensing module is provided on the first cover, and the sensing module is electrically connected to the driving part, and is suitable for driving the driving part to work when the sensing module is stimulated.

[0024] The advantage is that the sensing module is provided so that the second cover can be driven to open by sensing the user's movements, so that the user can open the second cover without contacting the trash can, which provides a better user experience. At the same time, it also avoids the garbage from dirtying the user's hands and improves the grade of the trash can.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, the driving portion is provided in the first cover body and is located on one side of the moving direction of the second cover body.

[0026] The advantage is that space is saved in the moving direction of the second cover body, and the space in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the second cover body is reasonably utilized, so that the internal layout of the trash can is more reasonable.

[0027] In an optional embodiment, the driving assembly further includes a power unit for driving the driving portion, and the power unit is disposed in the first cover body and is located on one side of the moving direction of the second cover body.

[0028] The advantage is that space is saved in the moving direction of the second cover body, and the space in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the second cover body is reasonably utilized, so that the internal layout of the trash can is more reasonable.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, a movable track is provided in the first cover body, and the second cover body is suitable for being driven to slide along the movable track to open or close the garbage delivery port.

[0030] The advantage is that the movable track is used to support the second cover body and guide the movement of the second cover body, so that the movement of the second cover body is smoother.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, a groove is provided on the movable track, and the second cover body abuts against the groove and can slide in the groove.

[0032] The advantage is that the groove is used to position the second cover body, which is convenient for installation and prevents the second cover body from leaving the moving track during movement.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the movable track is provided below the second cover body, and the groove faces the direction of the second cover body.

[0034] The advantage is that the movable rail supports the second cover body, which makes installation easy on the one hand. After the movable rail is installed, the second cover body is aligned and placed on it; on the other hand, the restrictive force of the movable rail on the second cover body is reduced, and it only plays a guiding role to avoid the movement of the second cover body from getting stuck.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, the side portion of the second cover extends toward the barrel body to form a sliding portion that cooperates with the movable track.

[0036] The advantage is that the sliding portion can effectively prevent the second cover from escaping from the moving track when the second cover is slidingly engaged with the moving track, thereby guiding the movement of the second cover.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the sliding portion extends in a strip shape along the moving direction of the second cover.

[0038] The advantage is that the strip-shaped sliding portion allows it to slide only along the extension direction of the sliding portion during movement, thereby limiting the circumferential rotation of the second cover along its central axis, which can effectively reduce the shaking of the second cover during movement, making the movement of the second cover more stable and smooth.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, the first cover body includes a accommodating space for accommodating the drive assembly and the second cover body, and the first cover body is provided with a connecting hole connecting the accommodating space and the garbage delivery port, suitable for the second cover body to extend out of the connecting hole to close the garbage delivery port, or to retract into the accommodating space through the connecting hole to open the garbage delivery port.

[0040] The advantage is that when the drive assembly and the second cover body are arranged in the accommodation space of the first cover body, the drive assembly and the second cover body are modularized with the first cover body, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly with the barrel body, while also preventing the drive assembly from leaking out and being interfered with, thereby affecting the driving smoothness of the drive assembly.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, the connecting hole includes a first part for the second cover to move and a second part for the connection end of the driving assembly and the second cover to move, and the first part and the second part are distributed in a "T" shape.

[0042] The advantage is that the "T"-shaped communication hole adapts to the cross-sectional shape of the second cover body and its connection end with the driving component, making the movement of the second cover body smoother and avoiding jamming of the second cover body during the sliding process.

[0043] In an alternative embodiment, the first cover body includes an upper shell and a bottom shell. The garbage input port is arranged in the upper shell. The bottom shell is installed at the lower part of the upper shell. A delivery channel communicating the garbage input port with the barrel body is arranged in the bottom shell. The communication hole is arranged on the side wall of the delivery channel. An accommodation space is formed between the upper shell and the bottom shell.

[0044] The advantage is that dividing the first cover body into the upper shell and the bottom shell facilitates the installation of the driving component and the second cover body inside the first cover body. Arranging the delivery channel on the bottom shell facilitates delivering garbage into the barrel body through the delivery channel. And arranging the communication hole on the side wall of the delivery channel facilitates the second cover body to extend out of the communication hole to block the delivery channel or the garbage input port, so as to prevent the odor in the barrel body from escaping.

[0045] In an alternative embodiment, a drain port is arranged on one side of the bottom shell facing the barrel body.

[0046] The advantage is that the residual water in the accommodation space formed by the upper shell and the bottom shell can be drained, preventing bacteria from breeding and damaging the electronic control components arranged in the accommodation space.

[0047] In an alternative embodiment, a connection part is arranged on one side of the second cover body facing the barrel body. The connection part is connected with the driving component. The connection part is arranged on the central axis of the second cover body. The central axis is parallel to the moving direction of the second cover body.

[0048] The advantage is that the connection part is located at the central position of the moving track of the second cover body, avoiding the second cover body tilting towards one side during the movement, which may affect the smooth movement of the second cover body or even cause jamming.

[0063] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0064] Combined with attachment Figure 1-7, the utility model relates to a trash can, which comprises a barrel body 50, and further comprises: a first cover body 10 and a second cover body 20, the first cover body 10 is cooperatively installed with the barrel body 50, and a trash throwing port 11 is arranged on the first cover body 10; a driving assembly, at least including a first connecting piece 30 and a second connecting piece 31, the first connecting piece 30 and the second connecting piece 31 are rotationally connected, one end of the first connecting piece 30 away from the second connecting piece 31 is connected with the first cover body 10 or the barrel body 50, and one end of the second connecting piece 31 away from the first connecting piece 30 is connected with the second cover body 20; the first connecting piece 30 is driven to drive the second connecting piece 31 to move, and the second connecting piece 31 drives the second cover body 20 to slide relative to the first cover body 10 to open or close the trash throwing port 11.

[0065] The second cover body 20 is driven to move through the linkage cooperation mode of the first connecting piece 30 and the second connecting piece 31. The structures of the first connecting piece 30 and the second connecting piece 31 are not limited. As long as the first connecting piece 30 is driven to transmit to the second connecting piece 31 to drive the second cover body 20 to move, the design precision requirements of the first connecting piece 30 and the second connecting piece 31 do not need to be very high. The two only need to ensure that they can be rotationally connected, and the production cost is relatively lower than that of the gear-rack. At the same time, in order to ensure the smooth driving of the second cover body 20, when the first connecting piece 30 and the second connecting piece 31 are in linkage, there will be a relatively large gap between the two. Even if the trash gets stuck in the gap, it will not cause the driving assembly to stop working. Moreover, the connecting parts 24 of the first connecting piece 30 and the second connecting piece 31 with the cover body or the barrel body 50 are rotationally connected, and the first connecting piece 30 and the second connecting piece 31 also adopt a rotational connection mode, reducing the collision between structural parts during the driving process, thereby reducing the noise when the second cover body 20 opens or closes the trash throwing port 11.

[0066] Among them, the barrel body 50 is used to form a storage space for trash. Users can set trash bags in the barrel body 50 to facilitate throwing trash into the trash bags. The first cover body 10 forms the lid of the trash can. In this example, preferably, the first cover body 10 and the barrel body 50 are inserted and cooperated to facilitate removing the first cover body 10 to replace the trash bag. Of course, the first cover body 10 can also be connected with the barrel body 50 through a rotating shaft, so that the first cover body 10 rotates relative to the barrel body 50 to open or close the barrel body 50. A trash throwing port 11 is arranged in the first cover body 10, and the trash throwing port 11 is directly communicated with the inside of the barrel body 50, so that users can throw trash into the barrel body 50 through the trash throwing port 11. To conform to the user's habit of throwing trash, preferably, the trash throwing port 11 is arranged on the side surface of the first cover body 10 opposite to the barrel body 50.

[0067] The second cover 20 is movably connected to the first cover 10. In this example, preferably, the second cover 20 is slidably connected to the first cover 10, and the second cover 20 can at least cover the garbage inlet 11, so that the second cover 20 can be switched between opening and closing the garbage inlet 11 by sliding. When the garbage inlet 11 is closed, the second cover 20 will slide to a position where it completely shields the garbage inlet 11.

[0068] The driving assembly is used to drive the second cover 20 to move. In this example, preferably, the driving assembly includes a first connecting member 30 and a second connecting member 31, and the two are rotatably connected to form a "V" shape. The first connecting member 30 is connected to the first cover 10 or the barrel 50, and the second connecting member 31 is connected to the second cover 20. In this example, the preferred connection method is shaft connection. The first connecting member 30 is the driving end, and it is connected to the first cover 10 and the barrel 50. Because during the movement of the second cover 20, the first cover 10 and the barrel 50 remain relatively stationary, it is convenient to set a driving part 32 on the first cover 10 or the barrel 50 to drive the first connecting member 30 to move. In this way, the driving part 32 can remain relatively stationary when the second cover 20 is opened or closed, making the driving of the driving part 32 stable. In this example, preferably, the end of the first connecting member 30 facing away from the second connecting member 31 is arranged in the first cover 10, which is convenient for the removal of the first cover 10.

[0069] The second cover 20 is driven to move by the first connecting member 30 being driven to drive the second connecting member 31 to move. The driving method of the first connecting member 30 can be driven by a motor or manually driven by a user. This example does not limit this here. In this example, preferably, by driving the first connecting member 30 to rotate, the second connecting member 31 is driven to approach the first connecting member 30, and then the second cover 20 is driven to horizontally slide in the direction of the first connecting member 30 to open the garbage inlet 11. Similarly, when moving in the reverse direction, the second cover 20 will close the garbage inlet 11.

[0070] In an alternative embodiment, both the first connecting member 30 and the second connecting member 31 are rod-shaped structures. The first connecting member 30 is driven to drive the second connecting member 31 to move, so that the included angle between the first connecting member 30 and the second connecting member 31 changes, thereby driving the second cover 20 to slide relative to the first cover 10.

[0071] Among them, when the second cover body 20 is driven by a connecting rod, the connecting rod has the characteristics of low cost, low precision requirements, high transmission efficiency and not easy to damage, and can also adapt to some more complex scenarios. The second cover body 20 is driven to move by changing the angle between the first connecting member 30 and the second connecting member 31, that is, the first connecting member 30 and the second connecting member 31 are close to each other or away from each other, which can also save space in the direction of movement of the second cover body 20. This example does not limit the shape of the first connecting member 30 and the second connecting member 31. Of course, in order to consider the angle between the two during linkage, an avoidance structure can be set on the first connecting member 30 and the second connecting member 31 to facilitate the angle between the first connecting member 30 and the second connecting member 31 to be smaller when the two are close to each other.

[0072] In an optional embodiment, when the second cover 20 opens the garbage inlet 11, the angle between the second connecting member 31 and the first connecting member 30 is α, and when the second cover 20 closes the garbage inlet 11, the angle between the second connecting member 31 and the first connecting member 30 is β, wherein α<β, and in this example, preferably, 3°<α<β<178°, when the angle between the first connecting member 30 and the second connecting member 31 is too large or too small, it is more difficult for the first connecting member 30 and the second connecting member 31 to rotate again, and it is easy to get stuck, so that the second cover 20 is opened. When the second cover 20 is closed, the first connection member 30 and the second connection member 31 are relatively far apart, so that the first connection member 30 and the second connection member 31 are relatively unfolded to facilitate pushing the second cover 20 to move. α<β is more in line with structural design habits. When the second cover 20 is switched from an open state to a closed state, the angle between the first connection member 30 and the second connection member 31 gradually increases. When the second cover 20 is switched from a closed state to an open state, the angle between the first connection member 30 and the second connection member 31 gradually decreases.

[0073] In an optional embodiment, the first connecting member 30 is driven to rotate around its connection end with the first cover body 10 or the barrel body 50 , thereby driving the second connecting member 31 to rotate around its connection end with the first connecting member 30 .

[0074] Among them, the first connecting member 30 is driven to rotate around its connecting end with the first cover body 10 or the barrel body 50, so that the free end of the first connecting member 30 moves in an arc, that is, the connecting portion 24 between the first connecting member 30 and the second connecting member 31 moves in an arc. When the connecting end of the second connecting member 31 and the second cover body 20 cannot move in an arc, the second connecting member 31 will drive the connecting end of the second cover body 20 to move horizontally, so as to realize the horizontal sliding of the second cover body 20 driven by the linkage of the first connecting member 30 and the second connecting member 31. The first connecting member 30 drives the second connecting member 31 to move, thereby driving the second cover body 20 to move, so that neither the first connecting member 30 nor the second connecting member 31 needs to be designed very long, so that too much space does not need to be occupied during the movement process, and the movement process of the first connecting member 30 and the second connecting member 31 will not interfere with garbage disposal.

[0075] In an optional implementation manner, when the second cover body 20 is switched between the states of opening and closing the garbage disposal opening 11, the connecting ends of the second connecting member 31 and the first connecting member 30 move in a curve, and drive the connecting end of the second connecting member 31 and the second cover body 20 to move horizontally, so that the second cover body 20 slides horizontally relative to the first cover body 10.

[0076] Among them, the curve movement of the connecting ends of the second connecting member 31 and the first connecting member 30 drives the connecting end of the second connecting member 31 and the second cover body 20 to move horizontally, so that the movement trajectories of the two connecting ends are different, avoiding interference between the two connecting ends during the movement process. In this example, it is preferably that the connecting ends of the second connecting member 31 and the first connecting member 30 move in an arc. Due to the constant distance of the second connecting member 31 and the limitation of the other end of the second connecting member 31 in other directions, only the other end of the second connecting member 31 can be driven to move horizontally to realize the sliding of the second cover body 20.

[0077] In an optional implementation manner, one end of the first connecting member 30 connected to the first cover body 10 or the barrel body 50 is defined as the first end 12, and one end of the second connecting member 31 connected to the second cover body 20 is defined as the second end 22; when the second cover body 20 opens the garbage disposal opening 11, the first end 12 and the second end 22 are relatively close; when the second cover body 20 closes the garbage disposal opening 11, the first end 12 and the second end 22 are relatively far away.

[0078] When the second cover 20 opens the trash inlet 11, the first end 12 and the second end 22 move closer together, bringing the first connector 30 and the second connector 31 closer together. This allows the second connector 31 to move away from the trash inlet 11, preventing interference between the trash and the second connector 31 during trash placement. When the second cover 20 closes the trash inlet 11, the first end 12 and the second end 22 move away from each other, allowing the first connector 30 and the second connector 31 to unfold, facilitating movement of the second cover 20.

[0079] In an optional embodiment, when the second cover 20 opens the garbage inlet 11, a first straight line is defined between the first end 12 and the second end 22; when the second cover 20 closes the garbage inlet 11, a second straight line is defined between the first end 12 and the second end 22; wherein an acute angle is formed between the first straight line and the second straight line.

[0080] Among them, the lines connecting the second end 22 position of the second cover body 20 in the open state, the second end 22 position of the second cover body 20 in the closed state and the first end 12 position will form a triangle, and the line connecting the second end 22 position of the second cover body 20 in the open state and the second end 22 position of the second cover body 20 in the closed state is the moving trajectory of the second cover body 20, and the first end 12 is adjacent to the moving trajectory, so that the connection end of the first connecting member 30 and the barrel body 50 or the first cover body 10 is on one side of the moving trajectory of the second cover body 20, and the connection end is used to set the driving part 32 for driving the first connecting member 30 to move, so that space is saved in the moving direction of the second cover body 20.

[0081] In an optional embodiment, the driving assembly includes a driving part 32, which is arranged in the first cover body 10 or the barrel body 50. The output end of the driving part 32 is connected to the first connecting member 30, and is suitable for making the second connecting member 31 and the first connecting member 30 rotate relative to each other, so that the second cover body 20 slides horizontally relative to the first cover body 10.

[0082] Among them, the driving part 32 is a motor or a motor, which provides driving force for the movement of the second cover body 20. The driving part 32 is arranged on the first cover body 10 or the barrel body 50. Because during the process of opening and closing the second cover body 20, the first cover body 10 and the barrel body 50 will be stationary relative to the ground, making the position of the driving part 32 relatively fixed, and the driving output of the driving part 32 is more stable. By driving the first connecting part 30 by the driving part 32, the driving efficiency is higher, labor is saved, and the user experience is better. As for the specific connection structure between the output end of the driving part 32 and the first connecting part 30, it will not be elaborated here. Usually, an opening is provided at one end of the connecting rod, and the output shaft of the motor is inserted into the opening and is connected with the opening through a limiting structure, such as the limiting method of the protrusion block - groove 41, so that the motor can drive the connecting rod to move.

[0083] In an optional implementation manner, an induction module 34 is provided on the first cover body 10, and the induction module 34 is electrically connected to the driving part 32 and is adapted to drive the driving part 32 to work when the induction module 34 is stimulated.

[0084] Among them, in this example, the induction module 34 is preferably arranged on the top of the first cover body 10. When the user throws garbage, the top of the first cover body 10 will be opposite to the user's line of sight, which is convenient for the user to operate. By setting the induction module 34, the second cover body 20 can be driven to open by sensing the user's action, so that the user can open the second cover body 20 without contact with the trash can, improving the user experience. At the same time, it also avoids the garbage from soiling the user's hands and improves the grade of the trash can. In this example, the induction module 34 is preferably an infrared sensor, which detects whether the user's hand blocks the induction area through infrared. For example, when the user's hand blocks the induction area, the induction module 34 receives the signal and starts the driving part 32 to work after processing.

[0085] It can be understood that the induction module 34 can be a touch sensor. When the induction area detects that the user touches it, the induction module 34 receives the signal and starts the driving part 32 to work after processing.

[0086] The induction module 34 can also be an induction module 34 that detects other actions, which will not be listed one by one here.

[0087] In an optional implementation manner, the driving part 32 is arranged in the first cover body 10 and is located on one side of the moving direction of the second cover body 20.

[0088] Among them, this example preferably sets a bracket on the side wall of the first cover body 10, and fixes the driving part 32 to the bracket by means of screws or bolts. Of course, the driving part 32 can also be directly fixed to the side wall of the first cover body 10 by screws or bolts. The driving part 32 is set in the first cover body 10, so that when the garbage bag is replaced, the driving part 32 is removed away from the removal as the first cover body 10 is removed, so as to reduce the probability of the driving part 32 being contaminated, save space in the moving direction of the second cover body 20, and reasonably utilize the space in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the second cover body 20, so that the internal layout of the trash can is more reasonable.

[0089] In an optional embodiment, the driving assembly further includes a power unit 33 for driving the driving portion 32 . The power unit 33 is disposed in the first cover 10 and is located on one side of the moving direction of the second cover 20 .

[0090] Among them, the power unit 33 provides power for the driving action of the driving part 32. The preferred power unit 33 in this example is a battery. The battery can be a disposable battery or a rechargeable battery. Of course, the power unit 33 can also be designed as a structure connected to an external independent power supply, saving space in the moving direction of the second cover body 20, and reasonably utilizing the space in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the second cover body 20, so that the internal layout of the trash can is more reasonable.

[0091] In this embodiment, the power unit 33 and the driving part 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the moving direction of the second cover 20 to keep the center of gravity of the trash can approximately at the center axis position, so that the trash can is more stable when placed on the ground and is not easy to overturn.

[0092] It is understandable that the power unit 33 and the driving part 32 may also be disposed on the same side of the moving direction of the second cover 20 , so that the power unit 33 can more conveniently provide electrical energy to the driving part 32 .

[0093] In an optional embodiment, a movable track 40 is provided in the first cover body 10 , and the second cover body 20 is adapted to be driven to slide along the movable track 40 to open or close the garbage inlet 11 .

[0094] Among them, the movable track 40 is used to support the second cover body 20 and guide the movement of the second cover body 20, so that the movement of the second cover body 20 is smoother. In order to ensure that the second cover body 20 can move smoothly, it is suitable to set two movable tracks 40, and they are respectively set on both sides of the moving direction of the second cover body 20, so that the second cover body 20 can contact the movable track 40 at the opposite ends respectively, the two ends of the second cover body 20 are evenly stressed, and the movement process is smoother.

[0095] In an alternative embodiment, a groove 41 is formed in the moving track 40, and the second cover 20 abuts against the groove 41 and can slide in the groove 41.

[0096] Among them, the groove 41 is used to position the second cover 20, which is convenient for installation and prevents the second cover 20 from detaching from the moving track 40 during movement. In this example, preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the moving track 40 is at least "U" - shaped at the portion where it abuts against the second cover 20, and the groove 41 is formed on the side of the moving track 40 opposite to the second cover 20.

[0097] In an alternative embodiment, the moving track 40 is provided below the second cover 20, and the groove 41 faces the direction of the second cover 20.

[0098] Among them, the moving track 40 supports the second cover 20. On the one hand, it is convenient for installation. After installing the moving track 40, the second cover 20 can be placed thereon by aligning the position. On the other hand, the limiting force of the moving track 40 on the two opposite ends of the second cover 20 is reduced, and it only plays a guiding role to avoid jamming during the movement of the second cover 20.

[0099] It can be understood that when the moving track 40 is provided on the side of the second cover 20, when there are two moving tracks 40, the grooves 41 of the two moving tracks 40 are arranged oppositely, and the two moving tracks 40 sandwich the second cover 20 therebetween, so that the side wall of the second cover 20 is inserted into the groove 41 for cooperation. As long as the distance between the two grooves 41 and the distance between the two opposite ends of the second cover 20 are adjusted properly, the second cover 20 is not likely to jam in the moving track 40.

[0100] In an alternative embodiment, a sliding portion 21 extending towards the direction of the barrel body 50 is formed on the side of the second cover 20 for cooperation with the moving track 40.

[0101] Among them, the sliding portion 21 can effectively prevent the second cover 20 from disengaging from the moving track 40 when slidingly cooperating with the moving track 40, and plays a guiding role in the movement of the second cover 20. In this example, preferably, the sliding portion 21 is provided on the other side of the second cover 20 opposite to the side that users visually focus on, so that the sliding portion 21 can be hidden and the appearance of the trash can is more beautiful.

[0102] In an alternative embodiment, the sliding portion 21 extends in a strip shape along the moving direction of the second cover 20.

[0103] Among them, the strip-shaped sliding part 21 enables it to slide only along the extension direction of the sliding part 21 during the movement, thereby restricting the circumferential rotation of the second cover body 20 along its central axis, effectively reducing the shaking generated when the second cover body 20 moves, and making the movement of the second cover body 20 smoother and more fluent.

[0104] In an alternative embodiment, the first cover body 10 includes an accommodation space 14 for accommodating the drive assembly and the second cover body 20. A communication hole 15 is provided in the first cover body 10 to communicate the accommodation space 14 with the garbage input port 11. The second cover body 20 is adapted to extend out of the communication hole 15 to close the garbage input port 11, or retract into the accommodation space 14 through the communication hole 15 to open the garbage input port 11.

[0105] Among them, when the drive assembly and the second cover body 20 are arranged in the accommodation space 14 of the first cover body 10, the drive assembly and the second cover body 20 are modularized with the first cover body 10, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly with the barrel body 50. At the same time, it also avoids the interference caused by the external leakage of the drive assembly, thereby affecting the driving smoothness of the drive assembly. The first cover body 10 can also protect the drive assembly and the second cover body 20 from being polluted by garbage.

[0106] In an alternative embodiment, the communication hole 15 includes a first part for the movement of the second cover body 20 and a second part for the movement of the connection end of the drive assembly and the second cover body 20. The first part and the second part are distributed in a "T" shape.

[0107] Among them, the "T"-shaped communication hole 15 adapts to the cross-sectional shapes of the second cover body 20 and its connection end with the drive assembly, making the movement of the second cover body 20 smoother and avoiding jamming during the sliding process of the second cover body 20.

[0108] In an alternative embodiment, the first cover body 10 includes an upper shell 101 and a bottom shell 102. The garbage input port 11 is provided in the upper shell 101. The bottom shell 102 is installed at the lower part of the upper shell 101. A delivery channel 16 communicating the garbage input port 11 with the barrel body 50 is provided in the bottom shell 102. The communication hole 15 is provided on the side wall of the delivery channel 16. The accommodation space 14 is formed between the upper shell 101 and the bottom shell 102.

[0109] Among them, the first cover body 10 is divided into an upper shell 101 and a bottom shell 102. In this example, it is preferably connected by a buckle between the upper shell 101 and the bottom shell 102. Of course, the upper shell 101 and the bottom shell 102 can also be connected and fixed by screws, bolts or adhesives. The outer shell of the first cover body 10 is made detachable, which is convenient for installing the driving component and the second cover body 20 inside the first cover body 10. A feeding channel 16 is arranged on the bottom shell 102, and the feeding channel 16 communicates with the garbage feeding port 11 and the inside of the barrel body 50, which is convenient for putting garbage into the barrel body 50 through the feeding channel 16. And the communication hole 15 is arranged on the side wall of the feeding channel 16, which is convenient for the second cover body 20 to extend out of the communication hole 15 to block the feeding channel 16 or the garbage feeding port 11, so as to prevent the odor in the barrel body 50 from escaping.

[0110] In an alternative embodiment, the bottom shell 102 is provided with a drain port (not shown in the figure) on the side facing the barrel body 50.

[0111] Among them, when the trash can is placed in the bathroom, when the user takes a bath or washes hands and throws garbage at the same time, water is likely to enter the barrel body 50 through the garbage feeding port 11 and the feeding channel 16. And there is a communication hole 15 in the feeding channel 16, and part of the water will enter the accommodation space 14 through the communication hole 15. Setting the drain port can drain the remaining water in the accommodation space 14 composed of the upper shell 101 and the bottom shell 102 into the barrel body 50. To avoid the growth of bacteria and damage to the electric control components arranged in the accommodation space 14.

[0112] In an alternative embodiment, the second cover body 20 is provided with a connecting portion 24 on the side facing the barrel body 50. The connecting portion 24 is connected to the driving component. The connecting portion 24 is arranged on the central axis of the second cover body 20, and the central axis is parallel to the moving direction of the second cover body 20.

[0113] Among them, in this example, the second cover body 20 and the driving component are connected by a rotating shaft. For example, the second cover body 20 is provided with a rotating shaft, and the driving component is provided with a jack for cooperating with the rotating shaft. Of course, a limiting structure can be arranged between the rotating shaft and the jack. It can be understood that the second cover body 20 is provided with a jack, and the driving component is provided with a rotating shaft inserted and matched with the jack, so that the connecting portion 24 is located at the central position of the moving track of the second cover body 20, avoiding the second cover body 20 tilting to one side during the moving process, which affects the smooth movement of the second cover body 20 or even causes jamming. In this example, the connecting portion 24 is preferably arranged at an eccentric position of the second cover body 20, specifically on the side where the second cover body 20 deviates from the center towards the garbage feeding port 11, so that when the second cover body 20 opens the garbage feeding port 11, the second cover body 20 can cover the driving component as much as possible, so as to save the space of the internal structure of the first cover body 10.

[0114] In this example, the preferred second cover 20 is a circular lid, and correspondingly, the garbage inlet 11 is also a circular opening. The first cover 10 is oval-shaped. The present example does not limit the shapes of the first cover 10 and the second cover 20, and the first cover 10 and the second cover 20 can also be square, rectangular, triangular, oval, or other shapes.

[0115] Wherein, along the moving direction of the second cover 20, the length of the first cover 10 is not less than twice the length of the garbage inlet 11, so that the first cover 10 can reserve positions for the second cover 20 in the opened and closed states.

[0116] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
