The flip-top needs to be opened and closed manually by the user, which is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a garment cart that reliably carries waste and whose top cover for the waste bin is easy to open without requiring manual opening by the user.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a clothing cart, including a cart body, on which a storage cabinet and a soiled bin are provided. The soiled bin includes a bucket body with an upward opening. An end cap that can close the soiled bin is hinged to one side of the top port of the soiled bin. A hinge piece is provided on the side of the end cap. A pedal is provided on the bottom side of the soiled bin. A transmission component is provided between the pedal and the aforementioned hinge piece. When the pedal moves downward, the transmission component drives the end cap to open upward.

[0006] In this technical solution, the cabinet on the vehicle body is provided with an internal space for storing instruments or soiled linens. The cabinet can be a drawer-type opening or a door-type hinged opening, or a combination of drawer-type and door-type opening. When nurses or other users have soiled linens in their hands, they can step on the pedal on the bottom side of the soiled bin, and the transmission component connected to the pedal will drive the end cover to open upwards, thus meeting the opening requirements without having to bend over to open the cover manually.

[0007] In the above technical solution, further, one side of the end cover is a hinged end, and the other side is an opening end. The hinged end is hinged to the fixed block, and the fixed block is fixedly connected to the barrel body. One side of the hinged end is fixedly provided with a hinge plate, and the transmission component can drive the end cover to rotate around the hinge between the end cover and the fixed block.

[0008] In the above technical solution, further, the transmission component includes a "C"-shaped connecting bar. The middle of the connecting bar is fixedly connected to the pedal, and both sides of the connecting bar are hinged to the outer wall of the barrel. The end of the connecting bar is hinged to a first transmission bar, and the other end of the first transmission bar is hinged to the hinge plate.

[0009] In this technical solution, the connecting bar is in a "C" shape. Both sides of the connecting bar are hinged to the outer wall of the barrel. First transmission bars are symmetrically hinged to both ends of the connecting bar respectively. The first transmission bars are hinged to the hinge plates symmetrically fixed on both sides of the hinged end of the end cover. By stepping on the pedal arranged in the middle of the connecting bar, the cover plate is driven to open upward through the connecting bar and the first transmission bar.
