Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of trash cans, and specifically relates to an anti-overflow trash can for communities. Background Art

[0002] In urban communities, trash cans with an upright body, an upward-opening opening, and a hinged lid on one side are commonly used. These trash cans are widely used due to their low cost, simple structure, ease of maintenance, and convenient garbage transportation. However, these trash cans are easily affected by their placement. For example, when placed against a wall or when multiple trash cans are placed close together, the lid on the opening is difficult to flip up or down, causing the trash can to remain open for a long time. This often leads to excessive garbage accumulation and even overflowing the opening, which easily causes a messy environment for residents. To address this problem, some semi-enclosed trash cans have also appeared on the market to alleviate this problem.

[0003] In the prior art, a Chinese utility model publication numbered C22N1050596U discloses a trash can with a hand-pinch prevention function, comprising a trash can body, a trash inlet, a door at the inlet, and an opening and closing drive member within the trash can body for driving the door. The door comprises a fixed door and a movable door, one end of the fixed door being hinged to the trash inlet and the other end being hinged to the movable door. When the fixed door is driven closed by the opening and closing drive member, the movable door also blocks the trash inlet. When the fixed door portion automatically closes, the movable door portion, due to its hinged connection, can still swing, preventing hands from being pinched if not retracted in time, thus achieving the hand-pinch prevention effect of an automatic door. Although this trash can can prevent arms from being pinched by the slot door to a certain extent, since the slot door can still be opened, garbage can still be easily thrown in when the volume of the bin is insufficient. Moreover, the garbage entering the slot door is blocked between the slot and the slot door, which not only easily jams the slot door and makes it difficult to open or close, but also increases the risk of garbage overflowing from the slot. Therefore, it is not suitable for large-scale use in urban community environments. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on the above background technical needs, the present application provides an overflow-proof trash can for community use, which can solve the problem that the opening of the existing trash can is easily opened by humans, resulting in the opening being blocked or the opening door being stuck when garbage is put into the trash can even when the capacity is insufficient, and even causing garbage to overflow from the trash can.

Therefore, the terms describing the positional relationships in the drawings are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as limitations on this patent. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] The following is combined with Figure 1 To the attached Figure 5 The present application is further described in detail with reference to specific embodiments.

[0027] In the present application, a community overflow prevention trash can is disclosed, comprising a trash collection bin 10 and a trash overflow prevention assembly 20, wherein the opening 11 of the trash collection bin 10 is open upward, and the trash overflow prevention assembly 20 comprises a box body 21 and a trash pressing portion 22, wherein the bottom surface of the box body 21 is hollowed out to form an interface 211, and the interface 211 is used to connect the box body 21 with the opening 11 of the trash collection bin 10 so that the box body 21 covers the opening 11; the front surface of the box body 21 is open. A loading port 212 is provided, and a door panel 213 is hingedly provided on the upper side of the loading port 212 through an articulated hinge. A door panel driving mechanism 214 is connected to the side of the door panel 213 facing away from the loading port 212, and a garbage pressing portion 22 is hingedly provided on the side of the door panel 213 adjacent to the interface 211 through a hinge seat and a rotating shaft on the hinge seat. At least part of the garbage pressing portion 22 extends downward in the direction of gravity. The garbage pressing portion 22 includes a portion that is tilted toward the garbage collection bin under the action of gravity. 10, a rod, plate and other components extending inside or a mechanism composed of them; the above-mentioned door panel driving mechanism 214 can drive the door panel 213 to rotate between a first position and a second position, wherein the first position is a position in which the door panel 213 rotates to completely close the delivery port 212, and the second position is a position in which the door panel 213 rotates to the highest point after the delivery port 212 is fully opened. During the rotation process, at least a portion of the garbage pressing portion 22 is driven away from the delivery port 212 by the door panel 213 when in the second position. In this state, the garbage pressing portion 22 is not on the movement path after the garbage enters the delivery port 212; in the process of closing the door panel 213, the garbage pressing portion 22 is driven by the door panel 213 downward along the direction of gravity through the opening 11 into the garbage receiving bin 10. During this process, the lower side of the garbage pressing portion 22 preferentially presses the garbage to move downward or deform, so that the door panel 213 can be free from the obstruction of the garbage and reach the fully closed position.

[0028] The use of the above-mentioned community overflow-proof trash can has at least the following beneficial effects: when the garbage in the garbage storage bin 10 is close to full capacity and someone still needs to throw away garbage, as the door panel drive mechanism 214 drives the door panel 213 to rotate toward the inside of the box body 21 to open the inlet 212, the garbage thrown in will accumulate at the junction of the opening 11 of the garbage storage bin 10 and the interface 211. As the door panel drive mechanism 214 drives the door panel 213 to rotate downward, the garbage pressing part 22 contacts the garbage before the door panel 213 during the rotation and presses the garbage downward, so that the garbage is away from the inlet 212 and the door panel 213 is completely closed, avoiding garbage blocking the inlet 212 or blocking the door panel 213 from closing, reducing the risk of garbage overflowing from the inlet 212 into the garbage storage bin 10, and therefore more suitable for use in urban community environments than the trash cans in the prior art.

[0029] In addition, this application also provides some more specific implementation methods to improve the above-mentioned community overflow-proof trash can.

[0030] Furthermore, in order to improve the efficiency and success rate of pressing down the garbage, the above-mentioned garbage pressing part 22 includes a pair of support rods 221 and a pressure plate 222. One end of the support rod 221 is hinged to the lower side of the door panel 213 through a hinge seat and a rotating shaft, and the other end is hinged to the pressure plate 222 through a hinge seat and a rotating shaft.

[0031] Specifically, the length of the pressure plate 222 is 1 to 2 centimeters less than the horizontal length of the interior space of the garbage collection bin 10, and the width of the pressure plate 222 does not exceed one-quarter of the longitudinal length of the interior space of the garbage collection bin 10. The garbage pressing portion 22 naturally droops under the action of gravity, and during the downward rotation of the door panel 213, the lower surface of the lower pressure plate 222 always remains horizontal and compresses the garbage to move downward or deform. Under the above structural conditions, the lower pressure plate 222 only presses down the garbage on the side of the door panel 213 adjacent to the inlet 212, and does not occupy most of the area of the opening 11 of the garbage collection bin 10, so as to ensure that the movement channel of garbage inside the community overflow-proof garbage bin remains smooth until it is completely filled with garbage.

[0032] When using the above-mentioned community overflow-proof trash can, the support rod 221 can extend the distance that the pressure plate 222 presses the garbage downward, so that the garbage on the side of the door panel 213 adjacent to the delivery port 212 can be pushed downward away from the door panel 213, so that the door panel 213 can be completely closed with the delivery port 212; the pressure plate 222 increases the contact area between the garbage pressing part 22 and the garbage, avoiding pressure leakage.

[0033] Furthermore, when the garbage is packaged kitchen waste, in order to prevent the pressure plate 222 from exerting too much pressure on the garbage, causing the package to be damaged, thereby contaminating the inner wall of the garbage storage bin 10, the above-mentioned support rod 221 includes a sleeve 2211, a telescopic rod 2212 and a buffer spring 2213. The sleeve 2211 is telescopically sleeved on one end of the telescopic rod 2212, one end of the buffer spring 2213 is fixed inside the sleeve 2211, and the other end contacts the end of the telescopic rod 2212 located inside the sleeve 2211. One end of the sleeve 2211 is hinged to the door panel 213, and the end of the telescopic rod 2212 away from the sleeve 2211 is hinged to the pressure plate 222.

[0034] When using the above-mentioned community overflow-proof trash can, for the packaged kitchen waste, the telescopic buffering support rod 221 can reduce the pressure of the pressure plate 222 on the package, ensuring that the appearance of the package is not damaged when the package is pushed, and avoiding the leakage of kitchen waste inside the package and causing pollution to the garbage collection bin 10.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the pressure plate 222 can push the garbage package in the vertical downward direction, on the side away from the above-mentioned door panel 213, the hinges of the above-mentioned sleeve 2211 and the telescopic rod 2212 are provided with a blocking piece 2214, which is used to prevent the sleeve 2211 and the telescopic rod 2212 from rotating in the direction away from the delivery port 212.

[0036] When using the aforementioned community overflow prevention trash bin, when pressing plate 222 pushes down on the packaged kitchen waste, the irregular surface of the package can easily cause uneven force on pressing plate 222, causing it to deflect away from the back of door panel 213. This can prevent pressing plate 222 from pushing the package to its fullest extent during its swing. The aforementioned stopper 2214 prevents pressing plate 222 from deviating too far backward, reducing pressure leakage and allowing pressing plate 222 to push the package downward to its fullest extent.

[0037] Furthermore, the door panel driving mechanism 214 includes at least one electric push rod 2141, one end of the electric push rod 2141 is hinged to the side of the door panel 213 away from the delivery port 212 through a hinge seat and a rotating shaft, and the other end is hinged to the top surface of the box body 21.

[0038] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, a pair of electric push rods 2141 are preferably distributed on both sides of the central axis of the door panel 213 to improve the stability of the rotation process of the door panel 213; the box body 21 can also be integrated with an electric control switch and power supply for starting the electric push rod 2141, so that the door panel 213 can be automatically or manually opened and closed according to user needs.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to improve the ease of use of the above-mentioned community overflow-proof trash can, the above-mentioned door panel drive mechanism 214 also includes a human body sensing switch 2142 of the type such as an infrared sensing switch or an ultrasonic sensing switch. The switch is integrated on the inner side of the injection port 212 and is located in front of the door panel 213, and is electrically connected to the electric push rod 2141.

[0040] When using the above-mentioned community overflow-proof trash can, when the human body sensing switch 2142 senses that an object or a human body is extended into the inside of the delivery port 212, the electric push rod 2141 drives the door panel 213 to open. When the object or the human body is away from the delivery port 212, the electric push rod 2141 drives the door panel 213 to close, so as to prevent the door panel 213 from pinching the human arm.

[0041] Furthermore, to prevent residents from dumping excessive amounts of trash into the community trash can, the trash can also includes a capacity warning component. Specifically, the capacity warning component includes an alarm display 31 and an overflow sensor 32. The overflow sensor 32 is located on the inner wall of the box body 21. The alarm display 31 is integrated with the front of the box body 21, and the overflow sensor 32 is located on the inner wall of the box body 21. The alarm display 31 is electrically connected to the overflow sensor 32 and is used to generate an alarm in the form of sound and light signals.

[0042] Specifically, in one embodiment, the overflow sensor 32 is preferably an ultrasonic distance detection sensor, which is set to the surface of the inner top wall of the box body 21, and can measure the distance between the garbage in the garbage collection bin 10 and the delivery port 212 according to the set value using ultrasonic ranging technology; the alarm display 31 is preferably a lamp tube that can emit light of multiple colors and can display different colors according to the settings; when the overflow sensor 32 detects that the surface of the garbage in the garbage collection bin 10 gradually reaches the height of the delivery port 212, it sends a digital signal of the corresponding distance, causing the alarm display 31 to warn with light signals of different colors to represent the corresponding remaining capacity in the garbage collection bin 10.

[0043] Furthermore, in order to prevent garbage from accumulating on the lower side of the delivery port 212, a guide plate 215 is provided in the box body 21 at the lower side of the delivery port 212. At least a portion of the guide plate 215 extends obliquely toward the interior of the garbage storage bin 10, so that the garbage entering the delivery port 212 can slide along the guide plate 215 toward the center of the storage bin, thereby preventing garbage packages from accumulating on one side of the delivery port 212 and reducing the risk of garbage packages overflowing from the delivery port 212.

[0044] Furthermore, when the above-mentioned garbage collection bin 10 is a common upward-opening garbage bin on the market, in order to improve the compatibility of the above-mentioned garbage overflow prevention component 20 with the garbage bin, card slots are respectively provided on the side surfaces of the box body 21 on the inner side of the interface 211 located on the bottom surface of the box body 21, and the card slots are detachably connected to the side walls of the opening 11 of the garbage collection bin 10.

[0045] When using the above-mentioned community overflow-proof trash can, when the trash collection bin 10 is filled, the operator can directly release the engagement between the card slot and the trash collection bin 10 and remove the box body 21 from above the trash collection bin 10 so as to replace it with another empty trash collection bin 10.

[0046] Furthermore, in order to further improve the portability of the above-mentioned community overflow-proof trash can, slide grooves 216 are respectively provided on the side surfaces of the box body 21 on the inner side of the above-mentioned interface 211, and an installation opening is opened on the back side of the box body 21 along the extension direction of the slide groove 216, and a back panel 217 is provided at the installation opening through a hinge connection; at the opening 11 of the garbage collection bin 10, sliders 111 are provided on the two sides opposite to the side surfaces of the garbage collection bin 10 and the box body 21, and the sliders 111 are slidably connected to the slide grooves 216.

[0047] Specifically, based on the above-mentioned embodiment, the present application also discloses a community garbage room, comprising a simple building consisting of multiple walls and a roof, and a number of the above-mentioned community overflow-proof garbage bins, wherein one wall perpendicular to the ground is provided with multiple fixed windows in the horizontal direction, the front of the above-mentioned box body 21 faces the outside of the wall and is respectively fixed in the fixed windows, and the garbage collection bin 10 is located on the inside of the wall and is slidably connected to the above-mentioned slide 216. When the garbage collection bin 10 is filled with garbage, the back panel 217 is flipped up around the hinged part to open the installation port, and the garbage collection bin 10 is slid out from the back of the box body 21. The community garbage room composed of multiple overflow-proof garbage bins and buildings increases the garbage storage capacity from an overall perspective, improves the convenience of replacing and transporting the garbage collection bins 10, and is hygienic and beautiful. Compared with scattered garbage bins, it helps the community to rationally plan and use areas for garbage storage.

[0048] Furthermore, in order to prevent the above-mentioned community garbage room from having an unpleasant odor due to the lack of air circulation, ventilation holes can be provided on the side panels of the above-mentioned box body 21, and a ventilation mechanism 218, such as a ventilation fan, a non-powered wind hood, etc., is provided on the top of the box body 21 to ventilate the gaseous space in the garbage collection bin 10 in time to prevent pests and bacteria from breeding inside the garbage collection bin 10, so that the community garbage room as a whole is more in line with environmental protection standards.

[0049] In combination with the above embodiments, the above-mentioned community overflow-proof trash can can prevent the common trash cans on the market from overflowing due to excessive garbage accumulation, and can be suitable for the demand for trash cans in urban community environments.

[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present application are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present application. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
