[0029] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a combined plastic trash can, including an upper bucket 1 and a lower bucket 2, the upper bucket 1 and the lower bucket 2 are both in the shape of a trumpet with an opening upward, and the diameter of the bottom of the upper bucket 1 is larger than the diameter of the top of the lower bucket 2, and a soft connection part 3 is connected between the upper bucket 1 and the lower bucket 2, and the soft connection part 3 is used for vertical folding between the upper bucket 1 and the lower bucket 2. The upper bucket 1, the lower bucket 2 and the soft connection part 3 are combined into a combined plastic trash can, and a plurality of upper shafts 5 are fixed to the side of the upper bucket 1, and a plurality of lower shafts 6 are fixed to the side of the lower bucket 2. A connecting strip 4 is rotatably connected to the upper shaft 5, and the bottom of the connecting strip 4 is stuck on the lower shaft 6. An arc-shaped spring piece 7 is fixed to the end of the upper shaft 5. When the connecting strip 4 is installed on the upper shaft 5, the connecting strip 4 squeezes the arc-shaped spring piece 7 against the inner wall of the hole on the upper shaft 5, so that the arc-shaped spring piece 7 is deformed. When the connecting strip 4 is sleeved on the upper shaft 5, the arc-shaped spring piece 7 returns to the shape as shown. Figure 3 In the natural state shown, the arc-shaped spring piece 17 is used to block the axial movement of the connecting strip 4 on the upper shaft 5, thereby preventing the connecting strip 4 from separating from the upper shaft 5 in the axial direction of the upper shaft 5.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting strip 4 includes a vertical portion 41 and an elastic portion 42 connected in sequence, the top of the vertical portion 41 is rotatably connected to the upper shaft 5, the elastic portion 42 is stuck at the bottom of the lower shaft 6, and a protrusion 43 is provided on the elastic portion 42, the surface of the protrusion 43 is in contact with the circumferential surface of the lower shaft 6, and when the vertical portion 41 of the connecting strip 4 is sleeved on the upper shaft 5, the vertical portion 41 squeezes the arc-shaped spring piece 1 7 and the arc-shaped spring piece 2 8, so that the arc-shaped spring piece 1 7 and the arc-shaped spring piece 2 8 are deformed. When the vertical portion 41 is sleeved on the arc-shaped spring piece 1 7, the arc-shaped spring piece 1 7 and the arc-shaped spring piece 2 8 are deformed. The second piece 8 returns to its natural state, thereby clamping the vertical part 41 on the upper shaft 5 to prevent the vertical part 41 from separating from the upper shaft 5 while not affecting the rotation of the connecting bar 4 on the upper shaft 5. The elastic part 42 is made of plastic and is elastic. The bottom of the vertical part 41 is against the lower shaft 6. The elastic part 42 and the raised part 43 cooperate to be clamped on the bottom of the lower shaft 6, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting bar 4 and the lower shaft 6. At the same time, the end of the lower shaft 6 is ball-shaped, which can effectively prevent the connecting bar 4 from separating from the lower shaft 6 in the axial direction, thereby realizing a stable connection between the connecting bar 4 and the lower shaft 6.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the protrusion 43 is an upward curved surface. Through the design of the curved surface, when the elastic portion 42 rotates following the vertical portion 41, the lower shaft 6 squeezes the curved surface of the protrusion 43, so that the elastic portion 42 deforms downward smoothly, reducing the sticking between the protrusion 43 and the lower shaft 6, and making the connection between the elastic portion 42 and the protrusion 43 and the lower shaft 6 smoother.
[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, a reinforcing rib 11 is fixed to the side of the vertical portion 41. The reinforcing rib 11 is used to improve the structural strength of the vertical portion 41 and prevent the vertical portion 41 from bending under stress, thereby improving the stable support of the vertical portion 41 to the upper barrel 1.
[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, two connecting rings 9 are provided between the upper barrel 1 and the lower barrel 2, and the connecting rings 9 are connected to the inside of the soft connection part 3. Two groups of connecting columns 10 are fixed on the circumferential surfaces of the two connecting rings 9, respectively. The two groups of connecting columns 10 are respectively connected to the top and bottom of the soft connection part 3, and the two groups of connecting columns 10 are respectively fixed to the bottom of the upper barrel 1 and the top of the lower barrel 2. The soft connection part 3 is wrapped around the connecting rings 9 and the connecting columns 10. The connecting rings 9 and the connecting columns 10 are used to increase the contact area between the upper barrel 1 and the lower barrel 2 and the soft connection part 3, thereby improving the connection strength between the upper barrel 1 and the lower barrel 2 and the soft connection part 3, preventing the upper barrel 1 and the lower barrel 2 and the soft connection part 3 from cracking, thereby improving the service life of the plastic trash can.
[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the number of connecting columns 10 in each group is several, and the several connecting columns 10 are distributed in a circular array with the center of the circle passing through the connecting ring 9 as the center of the array. The two groups of several connecting columns 10 are respectively used to increase the connection strength between the two connecting rings 9 and the upper barrel 1 and the lower barrel 2.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the inner wall of the arc-shaped spring piece 1 7 is fixed with the arc-shaped spring piece 2 8, and the arc-shaped spring piece 2 8 is used to improve the elasticity of the arc-shaped spring piece 1 7, thereby ensuring that the arc-shaped spring piece 1 7 stably blocks the connecting strip 4 and effectively prevents the connecting strip 4 from separating from the upper shaft 5.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the soft connection part 3 is a rubber cover. By utilizing the deformable property of the rubber material, the soft connection part 3 can be deformed, thereby realizing vertical folding between the upper barrel 1 and the lower barrel 2.
[0037] Working Principle: The flexible joint 3 is made of rubber and can be deformed, allowing the upper barrel 1 and the lower barrel 2 to be vertically folded, reducing the occupied area during transportation, thereby improving the transportation efficiency of plastic trash cans. When folding vertically, press the upper barrel 1 to make the flexible joint 3 bend downward and deform, thereby achieving folding between the upper barrel 1 and the lower barrel 2;
[0038] When using a plastic trash can, pull up the upper bucket 1 so that the upper bucket 1 drives the soft joint 3 to bend upward and return to the state as shown in the figure. Figure 1The natural state is shown, and then the connecting strip 4 is put on the upper shaft 5. When the connecting strip 4 is put on the upper shaft 5, the connecting strip 4 squeezes the arc spring piece 1 7 and the arc spring piece 2 8, so that the arc spring piece 1 7 and the arc spring piece 2 8 are deformed. When the connecting strip 4 is put on the arc spring piece 1 7, the arc spring piece 1 7 and the arc spring piece 2 8 return to their natural state, thereby clamping the connecting strip 4 on the upper shaft 5 to prevent the connecting strip 4 from separating from the upper shaft 5 while not affecting the rotation of the connecting strip 4 on the upper shaft 5. The connecting strip 4 rotates in the opposite direction with the upper shaft 5 as the axis, so that the elastic part 42 at the bottom of the connecting strip 4 is clamped on the lower shaft 6. The cooperation between the connecting strip 4 and the upper shaft 5 and the lower shaft 6 is used to support the upper barrel 1, and prevent the soft connection part 3 from being pressed and folded, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the plastic trash can.

To provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, specific details are described in detail in the preferred embodiments of the present invention above, but those skilled in the art can fully understand the present invention without these detailed descriptions.
[0040] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
