Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garbage bin technology, and in particular to a crushing mechanism and a garbage bin. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and population growth, the amount of household waste generated continues to rise, and traditional waste storage and disposal methods face problems of low efficiency and large space occupation.

[0003] Most trash cans on the market use the simplest storage method, which is inefficient in the process of garbage collection and treatment. Larger garbage volumes take up more space inside the trash can, increasing the frequency of emptying by sanitation workers. Because different types and shapes of garbage will create gaps, the actual usable space is less than the total capacity of the trash can, further increasing the economic burden of the entire garbage management process. At the same time, the disorderly stacking of garbage may also cause environmental pollution and sanitation problems.

[0004] Based on the above problems, we propose a crushing mechanism and a trash can. Utility Model Content

[0005] Given the existing technical problem that large volumes of garbage occupy more space in garbage bins and increase the frequency of emptying by sanitation workers, a crushing mechanism is proposed.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a crushing mechanism, which includes a crushing component, including a support member, a driving member disposed above the support member, a linkage member disposed on the outer wall of the driving member, and an opening and closing member movably disposed on the outer wall of the linkage member; the support member includes a closed frame, a fixing pin is provided on the inner wall of the closed frame, and a support frame is provided on the outer wall of the fixing pin.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the crushing mechanism of this utility model, the driving component includes a first motor disposed on the outer wall of the support frame, and the output end of the first motor is provided with a first lead screw.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the crushing mechanism of this utility model, a slider is movably provided on the outer wall of the first lead screw, and a threaded hole is provided through the outer wall of the slider, wherein the first lead screw is movably engaged with the threaded hole.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the crushing mechanism of this utility model, the linkage includes a first connecting rod movably disposed on the outer wall of the slider, and a second connecting rod is disposed below the first connecting rod.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the crushing mechanism of this utility model, the opening and closing component includes a cover plate movably disposed on the outer wall of the fixing pin, and the cover plate is movably connected to the first connecting rod.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the crushing mechanism of this utility model, a third connecting rod is provided below the cover plate, and a nail plate is movably provided at one end of the third connecting rod.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the crushing mechanism of this utility model, one end of the second connecting rod is movably connected to the nail plate, and the other end is movably connected to the slider.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the crushing mechanism of this utility model are as follows: by setting up a crushing component, after the garbage is put into the bin, the nail plate is driven to crush the garbage below, so that larger garbage cans are crushed, which can improve the loading efficiency of the garbage bin, reduce the volume of garbage, and thus increase the loading capacity of a single garbage bin.

[0014] In view of the above-mentioned problem that traditional trash cans lack compression function, resulting in the inability to effectively reduce the volume of trash, a new type of trash can is proposed.

[0015] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention also provides the following technical solution: a trash can, which includes a crushing mechanism; and a can body, a pulley disposed at the bottom of the can body; and a storage component, including a driving member, a mating member disposed below the driving member, and a baffle disposed outside the driving member.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the trash can of this utility model, the driving component includes a second motor, the output end of the second motor is provided with a reduction gear, a second lead screw is provided below the reduction gear, and a telescopic bracket is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the second lead screw.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the trash can of this utility model, the mating component includes a fixed shaft located below the telescopic bracket, a bottom plate provided on the outer wall of the fixed shaft, and a pressure plate provided above the bottom plate.

[0018] The advantages of this utility model of trash can are as follows: by setting a bottom plate inside the can body to compress the trash, it helps to reduce pollution generated during the transportation and treatment of trash, such as reducing trash leakage and odor problems, and can process large amounts of trash more quickly, improving overall processing efficiency. It has strong applicability and can meet the needs of different places. Attached Figure Description

[0024] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0026] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0027] Example 1, referring to Figures 1-3 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a crushing mechanism, including a crushing component 100. By setting a support 101, a driving component 102 above the support 101, a linkage component 103 on the outer wall of the driving component 102, and an opening and closing component 104 movably set on the outer wall of the linkage component 103, the mechanism can crush the garbage inside the barrel T.

[0028] Specifically, the compaction assembly 100 includes a support member 101, a drive member 102 disposed above the support member 101, a linkage member 103 disposed on the outer wall of the drive member 102, and an opening and closing member 104 movably disposed on the outer wall of the linkage member 103; the support member 101 includes a closed frame 101a, a fixing pin 101b disposed on the inner wall of the closed frame 101a, and a support frame 101c disposed on the outer wall of the fixing pin 101b.

[0029] Preferably, the drive unit 102 includes a first motor 102a disposed on the outer wall of the support frame 101c, and the output end of the first motor 102a is provided with a first lead screw 102b.

[0030] Preferably, the outer wall of the first lead screw 102b is provided with a slider 102c, and the outer wall of the slider 102c is provided with a threaded hole 102d, and the first lead screw 102b is in movable engagement with the threaded hole 102d.

[0031] Preferably, the linkage 103 includes a first connecting rod 103a movably disposed on the outer wall of the slider 102c, and a second connecting rod 103b is disposed below the first connecting rod 103a.

[0032] The closed frame 101a is fixed to the cover plate 104a by the fixing pin 101b to achieve up and down folding. The cover plate 104a passes through the support frame 101c for fixation. A first motor 102a is fixedly installed above the support frame 101c. The first motor 102a is a geared motor that provides driving force for the rotation of the first lead screw 102b. The slider 102c is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the first lead screw 102b, and the threaded hole 102d matches the outer wall of the first lead screw 102b. The first connecting rod 103a is preferably configured as two, one end of which is movably connected to the outer wall of the slider 102c, and the other end is movably connected to the bottom of the cover plate 104a.

[0033] In summary, in the initial state, the cover plate 104a is in a horizontal state, and the slider 102c is located slightly above the first lead screw 102b. By starting the first motor 102a, the first lead screw 102b rotates, causing the slider 102c to slide downward. Under the drive of the first connecting rod 103a, the cover plate 104a is folded downward, making it easier for personnel to put garbage into the bin T.

[0034] Example 2, refer to Figures 2-4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, except that when the cover plate 104a is folded downward, it can drive the nail plate 104c to fold, crushing the garbage at the bottom.

[0035] Specifically, the opening and closing component 104 includes a cover plate 104a movably disposed on the outer wall of the fixing pin 101b, and the cover plate 104a is movably connected to the first connecting rod 103a.

[0036] Preferably, a third connecting rod 104b is provided below the cover plate 104a, and a nail plate 104c is movably provided at one end of the third connecting rod 104b.

[0037] Preferably, one end of the second connecting rod 103b is movably connected to the nail plate 104c, and the other end is movably connected to the slider 102c.

[0038] Preferably, there are two second connecting rods 103b, one end of which is movably connected to the top of the nail plate 104c and the other end of which is movably connected to the slider 102c; one end of the third connecting rod 104b is movably connected to the bottom of the cover plate 104a and the other end of which is movably connected to the top of the nail plate 104c; in the initial state, the cover plate 104a is in a horizontal state and the nail plate 104c is in an inclined state. When the cover plate 104a is folded down, the nail plate 104c is in a horizontal state, and the nails under the nail plate 104c are used to crush the garbage.

[0039] In summary, when the cover plate 104a folds downward, the nail plate 104c changes from an inclined state to a horizontal state under the action of the second link 103b and the third link 104b, thus crushing the garbage below.

[0040] Example 3, referring to Figures 1-4 This is the third embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a trash can, including a can body T, a pulley T-1 at the bottom of the can body T, and a storage component 200, which achieves the function of storing the cover plate 202c by setting a driving member 201, a cooperating member 202 below the driving member 201, and a baffle 203 outside the driving member 201.

[0041] Specifically, the barrel body T has a pulley T-1 at the bottom; the storage assembly 200 includes a driving component 201, a mating component 202 located below the driving component 201, and a baffle 203 located outside the driving component 201.

[0042] Preferably, the driving component 201 includes a second motor 201a, the output end of the second motor 201a is provided with a reduction gear 201a-1, a second lead screw 201b is provided below the reduction gear 201a-1, and a telescopic bracket 201c is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the second lead screw 201b.

[0043] Preferably, the mating component 202 includes a fixed shaft 202a located below the telescopic bracket 201c, a base plate 202b on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 202a, and a pressure plate 202c above the base plate 202b.

[0044] The barrel T is equipped with a pulley T-1 at its bottom to facilitate the movement of the barrel T by cleaning workers; two baffles 203 are preferably located on the outer walls of the support frame 101c on both sides; the second motor 201a is a geared motor located at the bottom of the support frame 101c, and when the second motor 201a starts, it drives the reduction gear 201a-1 to rotate, which in turn drives the second lead screw 201b to rotate; the second lead screw 201b is a T-shaped lead screw; the telescopic bracket 201c is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the second lead screw 201b, and the telescopic bracket 201c has a threaded hole inside that matches the second lead screw 201b; the bottom plate 202b is bendable in the middle and is fixedly connected to the cover plate 202c.

[0045] In summary, when garbage needs to be disposed of, the first motor 102a is activated by pressing a button, causing the first lead screw 102b to rotate. This drives the slider 102c to move vertically downwards. During this movement, the first connecting rod 103a causes the cover plate 104a to rotate downwards, opening the garbage bin's disposal opening. Simultaneously, the downward-folding cover plate 104a, via the third connecting rod 104b and the slider 102c, via the second connecting rod 103b, flips the nail plate 104c downwards, crushing the existing garbage. Garbage deposited during this process falls onto the nail plate 104c. When the first motor 102a reverses, it drives the first lead screw 102b to rotate, causing the slider 102c to move vertically upwards. This, via the first connecting rod 103a, causes the cover plate 104a to rotate upwards, closing the garbage bin's disposal opening. Simultaneously, the lid plate flips upwards. The cover plate 104a flips and moves upwards together via the third connecting rod 104b and the slider 102c via the second connecting rod 103b. The garbage that was originally on top automatically falls to the bottom. When the slider 102c moves into place, the second motor 201a is started to drive the reduction gear 201a-1 and the second lead screw 201b to rotate, so that the telescopic bracket 201c drives the fixed shaft 202a and the bottom plate 202b to move downwards vertically to compress the garbage. After the garbage is compressed, the second motor 201a reverses and drives the bottom plate 202b to move upwards. When it moves to the baffle 203, it is compressed and shrinks, which will not affect the next garbage being put into the bottom of the garbage can. This can reduce the volume of garbage, hold more garbage, and reduce the frequency of emptying by cleaning workers.
