Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As people's living standards improve, almost every household has several trash cans placed in different areas, such as the toilet, kitchen, living room or desktop.

[0003] Usually, a trash can has a trash bag set inside the barrel body, and a detachable outer tube or cover body is set on the top of the barrel body. In order to facilitate the movement of the trash can as a whole or prevent the trash inside the trash can from spilling, it is usually necessary to lock or unlock the outer tube or cover body and the barrel body under certain circumstances. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN210654693U discloses a double-layer barrel body trash can, which locks and unlocks the double-layer barrel body by lifting and lowering the handle. In this solution, since the limit block is set on the rotating shaft of the handle, when the handle is rotated to the locked position, the handle needs to be locked. The handle needs to be pulled up a certain distance to lock the limit block and the barrel body. Similarly, when the handle is lowered to the storage position, the handle needs to be moved down a certain distance to make the limit block and the barrel body disengage the locked position before the handle can be rotated to the storage position. In this solution, the handle needs to move a certain distance in the vertical direction during the process of lifting and lowering to lock or unlock the inner and outer barrels, which causes a delay in the locking or unlocking process of the handle, and cannot be locked or unlocked at the same time as the handle is rotated. The user operation is cumbersome and complicated, which affects the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0047] 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.

[0048] Refer to the attached Figure 1-11 The utility model relates to a trash can, comprising a barrel body 20 and a cover structure 10, the barrel body 20 having a barrel mouth 22, the cover structure 10 being arranged at the barrel mouth 22, and the cover structure 10 being provided with a first matching portion 11; and further comprising a handle 30, the handle 30 being provided with a second matching portion 31 matching with the first matching portion 11, the handle 30 being rotatably connected to the barrel body 20, and the handle 30 having a lifting position and a storage position; when the handle 30 is rotated from the storage position to the lifting position, the second matching portion 31 is driven to move to a position limited by the first matching portion 11, so that the cover structure 10 is fixed to the barrel body 20 and relative displacement between the cover structure 10 and the barrel body 20 is limited; when the handle 30 is rotated from the lifting position to the storage position, the second matching portion 31 is driven to move to a position disengaged from the limit with the first matching portion 11, so that the cover structure 10 and the barrel body 20 are in a detachable state.

[0049] When the handle 30 rotates and switches between the storage position and the lifting position, the second matching portion 31 provided on the handle 30 and the first matching portion 11 provided on the cover body are simultaneously driven to limit and disengage from the limit position. Moreover, since the handle 30 is rotatably connected to the barrel body 20, the cover structure 10 and the barrel body 20 are switched between a fixed state and a detachable state, so that the user only needs to control the rotation of the handle 30 to achieve the fixation or detachment of the barrel body 20 and the cover structure 10, without unnecessary delay action, and the user operation is simpler and the experience is better.

[0050] The barrel body 20 is used to form the main body of the trash can. The interior of the barrel body 20 has a cavity in which a garbage bag can be placed. The top of the barrel body 20 is provided with a barrel mouth 22 to form a garbage inlet, so that garbage can be thrown into the barrel body 20 from the barrel mouth 22; the cover structure 10 is formed into a structure that at least partially covers the barrel mouth 22. In this example, the cover structure 10 is arranged at the barrel mouth 22 of the barrel body 20. The cover can be inserted into the barrel mouth 22 or buckled outside the barrel mouth 22, and the two are detachable. That is, the cover structure 10 can be freely removed from the barrel mouth 22 of the barrel body 20 in some cases, such as when the garbage bag in the barrel body 20 needs to be removed or replaced. This example does not limit the removal method of the cover structure 10.

[0051] The handle 30 makes it convenient for the user to move the trash can by pulling the handle 30. In this example, the handle 30 is movably installed on the side of the barrel body 20 and is rotatably connected to the barrel body 20. The preferred connection method in this example can be through the plug-in cooperation of the rotating shaft 32. After the handle 30 is plugged into the barrel body 20, it is limited or disengaged from the cover structure 10 to make the barrel body 20 fixed or detachable from the cover structure 10.

[0052] A first matching portion 11 is provided on the cover structure 10, and a second matching portion 31 is provided on the handle 30. The first matching portion 11 cooperates with the second matching portion 31 so that the cover structure 10 is fixed to the barrel body 20, that is, the cover body cannot produce relative displacement with the barrel body 20. When the first matching portion 11 and the second matching portion 31 are disengaged, the cover structure 10 and the barrel body 20 are in a detachable state, that is, the cover structure 10 can be removed from the barrel body 20. In this example, the preferred first matching portion 11 is provided on the side of the cover structure 10 facing the barrel body 20, and the second matching portion 31 is provided on the side of the handle 30 facing the cover structure 10, and the setting positions of the two correspond to each other, so as to facilitate the installation of the handle 30.

[0053] The handle 30 has a lifting position and a storage position on the trash can. In the lifting position, the user can lift the trash can to move it. When the bucket body 20 is lifted vertically, the lifting position is generally set at a position away from the bucket body 20. When the bucket body 20 is tilted, the lifting position can be set at a position close to the bucket body 20. For example, when the user tilts the bucket body 20, the projection of the handle 30 will be on the side wall of the bucket body 20. The preferred lifting position in this example is on the side of the plane 212 where the barrel mouth 22 of the barrel body 20 is located, away from the bottom of the barrel body 20. In the storage position, the user cancels the drive of the handle 30, and the handle 30 will fall back to the maximum position according to its own gravity. The preferred storage position in this example is on the side of the plane 212 where the barrel mouth 22 of the barrel body 20 is located facing the barrel body 20 or in a position parallel to the plane 212. The handle 30 is driven by the user to switch between the lifting position and the storage position.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, the handle 30 is rotatably connected to the barrel body 20 via a rotating shaft 32. The rotation of the handle 30 from the storage position to the lifting position can drive the second fitting portion 31 to move in the axial positive direction of the rotating shaft 32, so that the second fitting portion 31 and the first fitting portion 11 are limited, so that the cover structure 10 and the barrel body 20 are fixed. The rotation of the handle 30 from the lifting position to the storage position can drive the second fitting portion 31 to move in the axial reverse direction of the rotating shaft 32, so that the second fitting portion 31 and the first fitting portion 11 are disengaged, so that the cover structure 10 and the barrel body 20 are in a detachable state. Specifically, the handle 30 and the barrel body 20 are connected by the rotating shaft 32, which has a simple structure and is easy to assemble. In this example, the rotating shaft 32 is preferably integrally provided on the handle 30, and a position for inserting the rotating shaft 32 is provided on the barrel body 20. The shaft 32 is inserted in this position, so that the handle 30 is rotatably connected to the barrel body 20 through the shaft 32. It can be understood that the shaft 32 can also form a separate structural member, which is installed and matched with the handle 30 and driven by the handle 30 to rotate; by rotating the handle 30 from the storage position to the lifting position, that is, when the handle 30 is lifted, the second matching portion 31 moves forward and limits the first matching portion 11, and by rotating the handle 30 from the lifting position to the storage position, that is, when the handle 30 is put down, the second matching portion 31 moves reversely and disengages from the first matching portion 11. By driving the handle 30 to rotate in different directions, the second matching portion 31 is driven to move forward and backward in the axial direction of the shaft 32 to limit the cover structure 10 and disengage it from the limit. The operation method is simple, and only one rotation in one direction is required. The driving process is smooth and there is no delay, and the user experience is better.

[0055] In this example, the preferred positive direction is the direction toward the center line of the barrel body 20, so that when the rotating shaft 32 moves along the positive direction, the rotating shaft 32 will move relatively toward the direction close to the barrel body 20. Correspondingly, the reverse direction is the direction away from the center line of the barrel body 20, and the rotating shaft 32 will move relatively toward the direction away from the barrel body 20.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, the handle 30 drives the rotating shaft 32 and the second matching part 31 to move in the same direction when switching between the storage position and the lifting position. Specifically, the handle 30 drives the second matching part 31 to move in the same direction while rotating, so that the handle 30 and the second matching part 31 form synchronous rotation, reducing the transmission parts between the two, and further avoiding the delay in the movement of the handle 30 and the second matching part 31. In this example, the same-direction movement means that the rotating shaft 32 and the second matching part 31 rotate along the same axis. It can be understood that the same-direction movement can also be the movement of the rotating shaft 32 and the second matching part 31 along the extension direction of the same axis.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, the second fitting portion 31 is provided on the rotating shaft 32. Specifically, the second fitting portion 31 and the rotating shaft 32 form an integrated structure, which is convenient for production and assembly on the one hand, and the synchronization of the movement of the second fitting portion 31 and the rotating shaft 32 is better on the other hand. In this example, the preferred second fitting portion 31 is integrally provided at the end of the rotating shaft 32 away from the handle 30. It can be understood that the second fitting portion 31 can also be installed on the side of the rotating shaft 32, and the second fitting portion 31 can also be installed separately at the end of the rotating shaft 32, as long as it can cooperate with the first fitting portion 11.

[0058] It is understandable that the second matching portion 31 may not be set on the rotating shaft 32, but may be set on the handle 30. During the rotation of the handle 30 around the rotating shaft 32, the second matching portion 31 will also rotate with the rotation of the handle 30, and the second matching portion 31 and the rotating shaft 32 can also achieve the same-directional movement.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, the first fitting portion 11 is a socket, and the second fitting portion 31 is the free end of the rotating shaft 32. The free end can be inserted into the socket to lock the cover structure 10, and the free end can be pulled out of the socket to unlock the cover structure 10. Specifically, the first fitting portion 11 is designed to be a hole-shaped structure, and the socket can be formed into a circular, elliptical or rectangular shape, as long as the second fitting portion 31 can be plugged and fixed. On the one hand, it is convenient for processing, and on the other hand, it is convenient for the second fitting portion 31 to be plugged and matched with the first fitting portion 11. The preferred second fitting portion 31 in this example has a tendency to shrink toward the barrel body 20, so that the end of the second fitting portion 31 close to the first fitting portion 11 is smaller, so that it is easy to insert into the hole-shaped first fitting portion 11, and can be plugged and matched with the first fitting portion 11 even with a small displacement.

[0060] It is understandable that the first matching portion 11 may also form a groove-shaped structure, and the second matching portion 31 may be a columnar structure. When the second matching portion 31 is inserted into the groove-shaped structure, the first matching portion 11 and the second matching portion 31 are fixed.

[0061] It can be understood that the first matching part 11 can also be a magnet, and the second matching part 31 is a magnet or an iron block with opposite magnetic poles to the first matching part 11. When the second matching part 31 is close to the first matching part 11, the first matching part 11 and the second matching part 31 are magnetically fixed. Of course, the second matching part 31 can also be a magnet, and the first matching part 11 is a magnet or an iron block with opposite magnetic poles to the second matching part 31.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, a guiding structure is further included, wherein the guiding structure is used to guide the second fitting part 31 in the forward direction when the handle 30 is rotated from the storage position to the lifting position and / or to guide the second fitting part 31 in the reverse direction when the handle 30 is rotated from the lifting position to the storage position. The guiding structure is used to guide the second fitting part 31 to move in a specified direction, and can convert the movement of the second fitting part 31 in the rotation direction into movement in the forward and reverse directions, that is, the second fitting part 31 moves closer to or away from the barrel body 20 while rotating.

[0063] In an optional embodiment, the guide structure includes a slider 33, a first guide surface 21 and / or a second guide surface 12, the slider 33 is provided on the side of the second matching portion 31, the first guide surface 21 is provided on the barrel body 20, and the second guide surface 12 is provided on the cover structure 10, the handle 30 is rotated from the storage position to the lifting position, the slider 33 slides along the first guide surface 21, and then guides the second matching portion 31 in the forward direction, the handle 30 is rotated from the lifting position to the storage position, the slider 33 slides along the second guide surface 12, and then guides the second matching portion 31 in the reverse direction, specifically, the slider 33 cooperates with the second matching portion 31 to drive the second matching portion 31 to move, the slider 33 is suitable for sliding along the first guide surface 21 and / or the second guide surface 12, the first guide surface 21 and / or the second guide surface 12 are inclined surfaces 211 with gradually increasing thickness, so that the slider 3 3 can change its position by moving along the guide surface. In this example, the first guide surface 21 preferably becomes thicker along the lifting direction of the handle 30. When the slider 33 slides along the first guide surface 21 from the thinner end to the thicker end, as the thickness of the first guide surface 21 increases, the first guide surface 21 will apply a driving force toward the barrel body 20 to the slider 33, so that the slider 33 will move toward the first matching portion 11 while rotating, thereby driving the second matching portion 31 to cooperate with the first matching portion 11 to limit the position; the second guide surface 12 gradually becomes thicker along the lowering direction of the handle 30. When the slider 33 slides along the second guide surface 12 from the thinner end to the thicker end, as the thickness of the second guide surface 12 increases, the second guide surface 12 will apply a driving force toward the barrel body 20 to the slider 33, so that the slider 33 will move away from the first matching portion 11 while rotating, thereby driving the second matching portion 31 to disengage from the first matching portion 11.

[0064] It can be understood that the guide structure can include a spiral guide track and a slider 33, and the guide track and the slider 33 are respectively arranged on the handle 30 and the cover structure 10, so that the slider 33 can move along the guide track to a specified position to fix or release the cover structure 10.

[0065] It is understandable that the guide structure can also be a pusher, which is connected to the second matching part 31 and moves synchronously. The pusher is driven by the rotation of the handle 30 to move and drive the second matching part 31 to match or release the first matching part 11.

[0066] In an optional embodiment, the first guide surface 21 includes a slope 211 and a plane 212, the slope 211 includes a distal end away from the first matching portion 11 and a proximal end close to the first matching portion 11, the plane 212 is connected to the proximal end, the handle 30 rotates from the storage position to the lifting position, the slider 33 slides from the distal end along the slope 211 to the proximal end, and slides from the proximal end to the plane 212, the handle 30 rotates from the lifting position to the storage position, the slider 33 slides along the plane 212 to the proximal end, and slides from the proximal end along the slope 211 to the distal end, the slider 33 slides from the distal end to the proximal end on the slope 211 to drive the The second matching portion 31 moves along the forward direction, and the slider 33 slides on the inclined surface 211 from the proximal end to the distal end to drive the second matching portion 31 to move in the reverse direction. Specifically, a plane 212 part is provided. On the one hand, the slider 33 can remain at the proximal end when it slides to the proximal end. On the other hand, when the user rotates the angle excessively, the plane 212 part can also play a certain buffering role to avoid failure; the inclined surface 211 part is used to guide the movement of the slider 33. When the slider 33 moves from the distal end to the proximal end along the inclined surface 211, the slider 33 will also synchronously move from the end away from the first matching portion 11 to the end close to the first matching portion 11, and then limit the position with the first matching portion 11, so that the limiting movement process is smooth and without delay.

[0067] In an optional embodiment, when the slider 33 slides to the proximal end, the handle 30 forms an angle of 10 to 180 degrees with the lifting side of the barrel mouth 22. Specifically, the lifting side of the barrel mouth 22 is preferably the side wall of the barrel body 20 at the barrel mouth 22. When the user lifts the barrel body 20 vertically, the angle between the handle 30 and the lifting side of the barrel mouth 22 is 90 degrees. When the user lifts the barrel body 20 at an angle, such as using one hand to pull the handle 30 and the other hand to support the bottom of the barrel body 20, the barrel body 20 can be tilted, which is also convenient for dumping the garbage in the barrel body 20. At this time, the angle between the handle 30 and the lifting side of the barrel mouth 22 is related to the tilt angle of the barrel body 20. The angle between the handle 30 and the lifting side of the barrel body 20 can be any angle of 30°, 45°, 60°, 120°, 150°, etc.

[0068] In an optional embodiment, when the slider 33 slides to the proximal end, the handle 30 forms an angle of 10 to 175 degrees with the lifting side of the barrel mouth 22, and the plane 212 includes a terminal end away from the proximal end. When the slider 33 slides to the terminal end, the handle 30 forms an angle of at least 180 degrees with the lifting side of the barrel mouth 22. For example, when in the storage position, the handle 30 is flush with one side of the barrel mouth 22. When the handle 30 is rotated to the garbage lifting position, the handle 30 moves across the barrel mouth 22 to the other side for fixation, so that the handle 30 can be locked when it is rotated below the plane 212 where the barrel mouth 22 is located. For example, when the barrel body 20 is in a tilted state, the handle 30 can also fix the barrel body 20 to the cover structure 10. The user can move the barrel body 20 by lifting the handle 30, and the cover structure 10 will not detach, thereby meeting the needs of some users who need to tilt the barrel body 20 but need to lock the cover for movement.

[0069] In an optional embodiment, the guide structure includes a first guide surface 21 and a second guide surface 12, wherein the first guide surface 21 and the second guide surface 12 are at least partially arranged relative to each other to form a sliding channel 13, wherein the slider 33 slides along the first guide surface 21 in the sliding channel 13 to guide the second matching portion 31 in the positive direction, and wherein the slider 33 slides along the second guide surface 12 in the sliding channel 13 to guide the second matching portion 31 in the reverse direction. Specifically, the sliding channel 13 is used to guide the movement of the slider 33. In this embodiment, the thicker portion of the first guide surface 21 is preferably arranged relative to the thinner portion of the second guide surface 12, and the thinner portion of the first guide surface 21 is arranged relative to the thicker portion of the second guide surface 12. The spacing between the first guide surface 21 and the second guide surface 12 is maintained at a relatively constant distance, which should be no less than the width of the slider 33, so that the slider 33 can move smoothly in the sliding channel 13.

[0070] In an optional embodiment, the width of the sliding channel 13 is equal at all locations. Specifically, in this embodiment, the thicker portion of the first guide surface 21 is preferably disposed opposite the thinner portion of the second guide surface 12, and the thinner portion of the first guide surface 21 is disposed opposite the thicker portion of the second guide surface 12. This ensures that the width of the sliding channel 13 is equal at least where the first guide surface 21 and the second guide surface 12 face each other, allowing the slider 33 to move smoothly within the sliding channel 13 and preventing the slider 33 from getting stuck in the sliding channel 13.

[0071] In an optional embodiment, the barrel body 20 is provided with an axis hole 23 and a slider 33 avoidance opening, the rotating shaft 32 is rotatably set in the axis hole 23, and the slider 33 avoidance opening is used to avoid the slider 33 when the rotating shaft 32 is installed into the axis hole 23 or taken out from the axis hole 23. Specifically, the axis hole 23 is used to install the rotating shaft 32, and the slider 33 avoidance opening is used to make the rotating shaft 32 correspond to the slider 33 when passing through the axis hole 23, wherein the shape of the slider 33 avoidance opening matches the shape of the slider 33, so that the rotating shaft 32 provided with the slider 33 can also pass through the axis hole 23. In this example, the preferred slider 33 avoidance opening is provided on one of the side walls of the axis hole 23.

[0072] In an optional embodiment, both ends of the handle 30 are provided with a second fitting portion 31, and the handle 30 is rotated from the storage position to the lifting position, driving the two second fitting portions 31 to move in opposite directions, and the handle 30 is rotated from the lifting position to the storage position, driving the two second fitting portions 31 to move in opposite directions. Specifically, when the second fitting portions 31 are provided at both ends of the handle 30, the handle 30 can lift the barrel body 20 more stably and also facilitate the rotation of the handle 30; during the rotation of the handle 30, the moving directions of the two second fitting portions 31 are opposite, based on the barrel body 20 as a reference, and the two second fitting portions 31 moving in opposite directions on the same axis will simultaneously move toward or away from the barrel body 20. When the two second fitting portions 31 simultaneously move toward away from the barrel body 20, the cover structure 10 and the barrel body 20 are unlocked and remain in a detachable state. When the two second fitting portions 31 simultaneously move toward the barrel body 20, the cover structure 10 and the barrel body 20 remain in a fixed state.

[0073] In an optional embodiment, when the handle 30 switches between the storage position and the lifting position, the handle 30 can drive the second matching part 31 to rotate around the rotation axis of the handle 30, so that the second matching part 31 can match and disengage with the first matching part 11, so that the cover structure 10 and the barrel body 20 are fixed or in a detachable state, and the second matching part 31 rotates around the rotation axis and is limited by the first matching part 11, so that the first matching part 11 will not be displaced in the vertical and horizontal directions of the barrel body 20, that is, the handle 30 rotates at the rotation axis 32 and is locked or unlocked at the rotation axis 32 at the same time, reducing the transmission structure of the movement, improving the synchronous locking efficiency of the handle 30 and the first matching part 11, thereby avoiding the delay between the movement of the handle 30 and the movement of the locking structure, and providing a better user experience.

[0074] In an optional embodiment, the handle 30 is rotatably connected to the barrel body 20 via a rotating shaft 32, and the second matching portion 31 is provided on the rotating shaft 32. The handle 30 is connected to the barrel body 20 via the rotating shaft 32, which is convenient for installation and has stable transmission. The rotating shaft 32 limits the barrel body 20, so that the user can lift the barrel body 20 by pulling the handle 30. The second matching portion 31 is provided on the rotating shaft 32 to make the synchronous movement of the second matching portion 31 and the rotating shaft 32 more efficient, further avoiding delays.

[0075] In an optional embodiment, the second fitting portion 31 is provided on the end face of the rotating shaft 32 and does not protrude from the side face of the rotating shaft 32 in the radial direction of the rotating shaft 32. Specifically, the second fitting portion 31 is provided on the end face of the rotating shaft 32. In this example, preferably, the second fitting portion 31 is provided on the free end of the rotating shaft 32 away from the handle 30 to adapt to the side wall of the cover structure 10 installed in the barrel body 20, so that when the rotating shaft 32 is plugged in, the rotating shaft 32 can first pass through the barrel body 20 and then cooperate with the cover structure 10, that is, the middle part of the rotating shaft 32 cooperates with the barrel body 20; and the second fitting portion 31 does not protrude from the side face of the rotating shaft 32, that is, the projection of the second fitting portion 31 on the rotating shaft 32 does not exceed the range of the rotating shaft 32, and it can be installed even with a smaller displacement, thereby reducing the assembly accuracy and facilitating plug-in installation and disassembly.

[0076] It is understandable that the second matching portion 31 may also be provided on the axial side wall of the rotating shaft 32 , and the corresponding first matching portion 11 needs to be adjusted in position to match with the second matching portion 31 , which will not be elaborated here.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, the second matching portion 31 is a card block, the first matching portion 11 is a card slot, the card block is a semicircular with a radius equal to that of the rotating shaft 32, and the card slot is also semicircular. The card block is inserted into the card slot to lock the cover structure 10, and the card block slides out of the card slot to unlock the cover structure 10. Specifically, the card slot-card block matching mode is convenient for processing on the one hand and for assembly on the other hand. When the card block and the card slot are also set to be semicircular, one side of the semicircle is arc-shaped. The arcuate surface facilitates the smooth relative rotation of the card block and the card slot, and an escape space is formed on the side of the card slot away from the arcuate surface, so that when the card block is out of the limit with the card slot, it is temporarily rotated to the escape space, and then moved out of the card slot from the escape space. The preferred escape space in this example also has an arcuate surface opposite to the arcuate surface of the card slot, which facilitates the rotation of the rotating shaft 32 toward the card slot in the escape space. It can be understood that the escape space can also be set to a rectangular shape or other shape. In order to facilitate the card block to escape from the escape space, one side of the escape space is connected to the outside.

[0078] It can be understood that one of the first fitting part 11 and the second fitting part 31 is a magnet, and the other is a magnet or an iron block with opposite magnetic poles. When the first fitting part 11 and the second fitting part 31 are rotated to the fitting position, the two are magnetically fixed, that is, the cover body and the barrel body 20 remain relatively fixed. When the first fitting part 11 and the second fitting part 31 are rotated to the disengagement position, the two are disengaged from the magnetic fixation, that is, the cover body and the barrel body 20 remain in a relatively detachable state.

[0079] In an optional embodiment, a connecting portion 14 is provided on the cover structure 10, and the first matching portion 11 is a card slot and is provided on the connecting portion 14, and the connecting portion 14 includes a bottom edge 141 close to the bottom of the barrel body 20, and a spacing is left between the card slot and the bottom edge 141, and a mounting port 142 connected to the card slot is provided on the bottom edge 141, and the second matching portion 31 is a card block and can be inserted into the card slot through the mounting port 142. Specifically, the connecting portion 14 is used to form a carrier of the card slot. The preferred connecting portion 14 in this example extends along the side wall of the cover structure 10 toward the bottom of the barrel body 20. Of course, it is also A separate connecting portion 14 can be provided and assembled with the cover structure 10 by means of screws and other structures; a spacing is left between the card slot and the bottom edge 141, and the spacing forms the side wall of the card slot to enhance the strength of the card slot. Preferably, the card slot is provided at the center position of the connecting portion 14, and an installation port 142 is provided on the bottom edge 141, so that the user can insert the rotating shaft 32 into the barrel body 20, align the installation port 142 with the card block, and then press down the cover structure 10 to install the card block into the card slot. Similarly, when the card slot and the card block are out of the limit, it is only necessary to lift the cover structure 10 to remove the card block along the installation port 142, and the installation and disassembly method is simple.

[0080] In an optional embodiment, the cover structure 10 is a barrel cover, or a garbage receiving groove 15 is provided on the cover structure 10. Specifically, the cover structure 10 is formed as a barrel cover, and the cover structure 10 covers the barrel mouth 22 of the barrel body 20 to shield the barrel mouth 22 of the barrel body 20, which can prevent the odor in the barrel body 20 from dispersing and the garbage from spilling from the barrel mouth 22. The garbage receiving groove 15 provided on the cover structure 10 provides space for temporary storage of garbage. The user can accumulate more garbage in the garbage receiving groove 15 and then dump the garbage in the receiving groove 15 into the barrel body 20. The preferred receiving groove 15 in this example is a bowl-shaped structure to accommodate more garbage and prevent water in the garbage from flowing out of the garbage can from the side wall of the receiving groove 15.

[0081] In an optional embodiment, a hollow structure is provided on the wall of the garbage receiving tank 15 to allow the liquid in the garbage to fall into the barrel body 20 through it. Specifically, the hollow structure is formed into a plurality of hole-like structures, which can separate the garbage temporarily stored in the receiving tank 15 into solid and liquid, so that the water in the garbage can fall into the barrel body 20 along the holes of the hollow structure under the driving force of its own gravity. The preferred hollow structure in this example is a plurality of array-distributed water filter holes opened on the wall of the receiving tank 15 to improve the water filtration efficiency. The preferred hollow structure in this example is provided on the bottom wall of the receiving tank 15, so that the water in the garbage can be quickly discharged by gathering at the bottom wall of the receiving tank 15 due to its own gravity.

[0082] In an optional embodiment, the cover structure 10 is provided with at least one of a pouring spout 16, a handle 17, and a pipe insertion port 18. Specifically, the pouring spout 16 is provided on the cover structure 10 so that the user can pour out the water in the barrel body 20 without removing the cover structure 10. In this embodiment, the pouring spout 16 is preferably configured in a grid shape, which can cut the water flow when pouring, slowing the pouring speed and reducing water splashing. In this embodiment, the pouring spout 16 is preferably provided on one of the side walls of the cover structure 10; the handle 17 is used to remove the cover structure 10 by pulling the handle 17, and the handle 17 can be provided on the top side wall of the cover; the pipe insertion port 18 is used to connect a water pipe to drain the water in the barrel body 20. In this embodiment, the pouring spout 16 is not limited. In order to avoid interference between the handle 17 and the pipe insertion port 18 on the cover structure 10, it is preferred that they are respectively provided on different sides of the cover structure 10.
