Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of integrated cabinet technology, specifically to a cabinet with a hidden trash can that opens in conjunction with the cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] As people's demands for quality of life continue to rise, modern family kitchens place greater emphasis on efficient space utilization and convenient storage in their design. As an essential tool in daily cooking, the placement of the kitchen trash can directly affects the overall storage layout and aesthetics of the kitchen. Traditional kitchens often use freestanding trash cans, which have drawbacks such as taking up space, obstructing passage, and affecting the kitchen's appearance. Furthermore, they require frequent movement for cleaning, making them inconvenient. Two types of concealed kitchen trash can designs have emerged to overcome these shortcomings. One involves creating a circular opening on the kitchen countertop to place or fix the trash can inside a cabinet under the countertop, achieving a hidden effect. The other type of concealed kitchen trash can uses a pull-out frame installed inside the cabinet, connected to the cabinet door, to place the trash can within the pull-out frame, thus hiding it.

[0003] The trash cans CN208345023U, CN213386022U, and CN213386023U all employ the second structure, requiring the cabinet door to be pulled out for trash collection. These trash cans all suffer from significant drawbacks in daily use: the cabinet door must be manually opened before trash cans can be collected. However, kitchen trash cans are typically used while cooking or cleaning, which either occupies both hands or results in the handle or cabinet door getting dirty, making them extremely inconvenient and providing a poor user experience. This utility model provides a cabinet with a concealed trash can that opens in conjunction with the cabinet door, solving these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a cabinet with a hidden trash can that opens in conjunction with the foot pedal of the trash can, thus enabling both the door and the trash can to open with a foot pedal, avoiding the inconvenience of opening the door manually.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is:

[0006] A cabinet with a concealed trash can that opens in conjunction with the cabinet includes a cabinet, a trash can, and a linkage mechanism. The cabinet includes a cabinet body, a cabinet door, and a flip panel.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0036] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a cabinet with a concealed trash can that opens in conjunction with the cabinet includes a cabinet 1, a trash can 2, and a linkage mechanism 3. The cabinet 1 includes a cabinet body 11, a cabinet door 12, and a flip panel 13. The cabinet door 12 is movably mounted on the cabinet body 11, and the flip panel 13 is movably mounted in the opening of the cabinet door 12. The trash can 2 is located inside the cabinet body 11 and includes a trash can pedal 21, a can body 22, and a trash can lid 23. The linkage mechanism 3 is located on the cabinet door 12 and is connected to the trash can pedal 21 and the flip panel 13.

[0037] In this embodiment, the cabinet 1 and the trash can 2 are opened in conjunction with the linkage mechanism 3. The trash can lid 23 is opened by the trash can pedal 21. The linkage mechanism 3 links the trash can pedal 21 with the flip plate 13. When the foot pedal opens the trash can 2, the flip plate 13 opens simultaneously, making it convenient to dispose of trash. There is no need to manually open the door or pull out the trash can to collect the trash. This will not contaminate your hands or the cabinet. Moreover, it can still be convenient to collect trash even when both hands are occupied.

[0038] like Figure 1-6As shown, the specific working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The trash can 2 is a foot-operated trash can, with the trash can lid 23 opened using a trash can pedal 21. A linkage mechanism 3 connects the trash can pedal 21 to the flip plate 13. A snap-fit ​​component 33 is detachably secured to the trash can pedal 21 and moves with it. An mounting component 32 is horizontally positioned inside the cabinet door 12 as a lever mechanism, with its two ends connected to the linkage rod 31 and the snap-fit ​​component 33 respectively, causing the linkage rod 31 and the snap-fit ​​component 33 to move in opposite directions. When the trash can pedal 21 is stepped on, the snap-fit ​​part 33 moves downward along with the trash can pedal 21. The linkage rod 31 located at the other end of the mounting part 32 moves upward under the action of the lever. The top of the linkage rod 31 is movably connected to the flap 13. When the linkage rod 31 moves upward, it pushes the push-slide groove 132 on the flap 13 to move upward. The upward movement of the push-slide groove 132 causes the flap 13 body 131 to open outward with its bottom flip axis as the axis, thereby realizing the synchronous opening of the flap 13 and the trash can lid 23.

[0039] like Figure 7 As shown, the linkage mechanism 3 includes a linkage rod 31, a mounting component 32, and a snap-fit ​​component 33. The linkage rod 31 is vertically mounted on the inside of the cabinet door 12 via the mounting component 32. The top of the linkage rod 31 is movably connected to the push-slide groove 132 of the flip plate 13. The snap-fit ​​component 33 is located on the inside of the cabinet door 12, with its upper end connected to the mounting component 32 and its lower end connected to the trash can pedal 21.

[0040] like Figure 8 As shown, the mounting component 32 further includes a support 321 and a lever 322. The support 321 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the cabinet door 12. The middle part of the lever 322 is movably connected to the support 321. The lever 322 is horizontally set, with one end movably connected to the bottom end of the linkage rod 31 and the other end movably connected to the top end of the snap-fit ​​member 33. The lever 322 and the support 321 form a lever structure. The linkage rod 31 and the snap-fit ​​member 33 are respectively movably connected to the two ends of the lever 322. When one of the rods moves downward, the other rod moves upward under the action of the lever.

[0041] Since lever 322 needs displacement compensation when it performs lever movement, displacement compensation is achieved by setting a pin in a waist-shaped hole at the connection between lever 322 and linkage rod 31, and between lever 322 and fixed rod 331.

[0042] like Figure 9 , 10As shown, the latching component 33 further includes a fixing rod 331 and a latching rod 332. The top end of the fixing rod 331 is movably connected to one end of the lever 322. The fixing rod 331 is vertically arranged inside the cabinet door 12. The latching rod 332 is detachably connected to the trash can pedal 21 by a clip. The top end of the latching rod 332 is detachably connected to the bottom end of the fixing rod 331.

[0043] Since the locking rod 332 is connected to the trash can 2 and the fixing rod 331 is connected to the cabinet door 12, interference will occur when opening the cabinet door 12, causing the cabinet door 12 to be unable to open normally. The fixing rod 331 and the locking rod 332 are connected in a detachable manner to disconnect them, thereby realizing the replacement of the trash can 2. When replacing the trash can 2, the connection between the fixing rod 331 and the locking rod 332 is first disconnected so that there is no longer a connection between the cabinet door 12 and the trash can 2, and there will be no interference, so the cabinet door 12 can be opened normally.

[0044] like Figure 9 , 10 As shown, the specific operation for replacing trash can 2 is as follows: Since the linkage rod 31 and the latching piece 33 act as a lever, the linkage rod 31 and the latching piece 33 move in opposite directions. When the latching rod 332 moves downward with the trash can pedal 21, the latching rod 332 will drive the fixed rod 331 to move downward, and then drive the linkage rod 31 to move upward through the lever. If the flap 13 is pressed down while the trash can pedal 21 is pressed down, causing the latching rod 332 to move downward, and the flap 13 is prevented from opening, then the linkage rod 31 will not be able to move upward, and the fixed rod 331 connected to the linkage rod 31 will also not be able to move downward, but will remain stationary. While the fixed rod 331 remains stationary, the latching rod 332 moves downward, and the latching rod 332 will disengage from the fixed rod 331. The disengagement of the latching rod 332 from the fixed rod 331 also disengages the cabinet door 12 from the trash can 2, and will no longer affect the normal opening of the cabinet door 12. While holding the flap 13 down to prevent it from flipping outwards, step on the trash can pedal 21 to disengage the locking rod 332 from the fixing rod 331. This allows you to detach the locking rod 332 from the fixing rod 331, and then manually open the cabinet door to replace the trash can.

[0045] After replacing the trash can, the locking rod 332 needs to be connected to the fixing rod 331. First, lock the locking rod 332 onto the trash can pedal 21, place the trash can into the cabinet, and manually close the cabinet door 12. After the trash can pedal 21 protrudes from the bottom of the cabinet door 12, step on the trash can pedal 21 to completely close the cabinet door 12. Then, release your foot from the trash can pedal 21 and insert your foot under the trash can pedal 21. Lift your foot to move the trash can pedal 21 upwards, and at the same time, manually pull the flip plate 13 outwards. When pulled outward, the linkage rod 31 moves upward, which in turn drives the fixed rod 331 downward. The downward-moving fixed rod 331 contacts the locking rod 332 that is locked on the trash can pedal 21. As the fixed rod 331 continues to move downward, it pushes the locking rod 332 downward as well. However, since the trash can pedal 21 is blocked by a foot and cannot move downward, the top of the locking rod 332 engages with the insertion hole at the bottom of the fixed rod 331, thus connecting the locking rod 332 and the fixed rod 331. This operation achieves the connection after the trash can is replaced. The above operation is simple and requires no complicated procedures to replace the trash can.

[0046] Furthermore, the flip panel 13 includes a panel 131, a push-pull groove 132, and a flipping shaft. The panel 131 is mounted on the cabinet door 12 via the flipping shaft, which is located on the bottom side of the panel 131. The panel 131 opens outward with the bottom side as its axis. The push-pull groove 132 is located at the bottom of the inner side of the panel 131. The top end of the linkage rod 31 is located in the push-pull groove 132. When the linkage rod 31 moves upward, it pushes the push-pull groove 132 to move synchronously.

[0047] like Figure 10 As shown, the bottom end of the snap-fit ​​rod 332 is detachably connected to the trash can pedal 21, the bottom end of the fixing rod 331 is provided with an insertion hole, and the top end of the snap-fit ​​rod 332 is located in the insertion hole at the bottom end of the fixing rod 331.

[0048] Preferably, the bottom end of the locking rod 332 is provided with a clamp, which clamps onto the trash can pedal 21. The inner side of the clamp is provided with a buffer rubber layer to increase friction and ensure that the clamp can be stably clamped onto the trash can pedal 21. After the clamp is clamped onto the trash can pedal 21, the inner side of the upper half of the clamp fits against the trash can for positioning, so that after the locking rod 332 is installed, it can be vertically aligned with the fixing rod 331.

[0049] Furthermore, the clamp at the bottom of the locking rod 332 can be a conventional spring clamp or a bolt-fastened clamp, depending on the need.

[0050] Furthermore, the clamp at the bottom of the locking rod 332 is hinged to the locking rod 332 for displacement compensation, and a limiting plate is set on the clamp to restrict the vertical direction of the locking rod 332, preventing the locking rod 332 from swinging, so that it can be stably connected with the fixing rod 331.

[0051] like Figure 6 , 11 As shown, further, the top of the linkage rod 31 is provided with a slider, which is located in and locked in the push-pull groove 132. The slider is restricted in position by the push-pull groove 132, so that the linkage rod 31 and the push-pull groove 132 move synchronously. When the push-pull groove 132 moves, the slider moves within the groove of the push-pull groove 132. The linkage rod 31 is provided with a strip groove in the middle, and the inner side of the cabinet door 12 is provided with a limiting pin, which is located in the strip groove of the linkage rod 31.

[0052] Furthermore, the flipping shaft is equipped with a torsion spring, which can automatically reset after the flip plate 13 is opened.

[0053] Furthermore, the top of the snap-fit ​​rod 332 is provided with a flexible snap ring, which is a rubber ring. By setting the flexible snap ring, the snap-fit ​​rod 332 can be stably snapped into the insertion hole at the bottom of the fixed rod 331. The flexible snap ring can maintain the stability of the connection. After the snap-fit ​​rod 332 and the fixed rod 331 are stably connected, it does not affect the normal operation of the linkage mechanism 3. The friction force brought by the flexible snap ring is smaller than that of the fixed connection, and it is also easier to disconnect the two.

[0054] Preferably, the flexible retaining ring is a rubber ring, which increases friction.

[0055] like Figure 12 As shown, the cabinet 11 is further provided with a shelf on the rear side. After the trash can 2 is placed in the cabinet 1, the shelf on the rear side serves as storage space for placing items, thus avoiding waste of space at the rear of the cabinet 1.

[0056] Furthermore, the flap 13 is provided with a hand latch groove for manually opening the flap 13.

[0057] like Figure 13 As shown, since some of the flaps 13 are relatively large, they may affect the user when they are flipped outwards. Therefore, the position of the trash can pedal 21 can be flexibly set according to the size of the cabinet 1, the trash can 2 and the flap 13. The position of the trash can pedal 21 and the flap 13 can be staggered according to the user's habits. The trash can pedal 21 can be set on the left or right side of the cabinet door 12 to improve the user's convenience.

[0058] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention, and no reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
