Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic bucket technology, specifically to an easy-open oval plastic bucket. Background Technology
[0002] Plastic drums, as a widely used container, play an important role in many fields due to their lightweight, durability, low cost, and ease of molding. Plastic drums are mainly made of polymer materials such as polyethylene and polypropylene, possessing good chemical stability and resistance to the corrosive effects of various chemicals. They also have good sealing performance, making them suitable for storing liquids or solids. With the maturity of processing technology, oval-shaped drums are becoming increasingly popular. Oval drums reduce gaps when stacked, especially in confined spaces, where their unique shape allows for more efficient space utilization and increased storage capacity. When placed, oval drums are generally more stable than round drums due to their unique shape, especially when stacked in multiple layers, reducing the risk of tipping over.
[0003] Currently, oval-shaped barrels are packaged with a sealing cap fitted over the top opening to ensure a tight seal. A handle is then attached to the side of the barrel for easy transport. This oval-shaped barrel has a simple structure, but when the barrel is carried by hand, the handle causes deformation, leading to instability. At the same time, the simple sealing cap is also unstable, easily deforming and separating from the barrel, resulting in inconsistent sealing.
[0004] In summary, there is a need for an oval plastic bucket that has a stable structure and seal, and is easy to open. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an easy-open oval plastic bucket, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] An easy-open oval plastic bucket includes a bucket body, which is an oval bucket structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. An oval reinforcing ring is fitted and fixed to the outer wall of the bucket body. A bottom sealing ring is fixed to the top surface of the reinforcing ring and fitted and fixed to the outer wall of the bucket body. The two ends of the long axis of the oval structure of the reinforcing ring are connected to the bucket handle. A handle is fixed to the inner wall of the bucket handle. A cap sealing assembly is fitted and sealed to the top opening of the bucket body. The bottom gap of the cap sealing assembly is set at the top surface of the reinforcing ring.
[0008] The sealing assembly includes a bucket lid, an outer sealing ring, an inner sealing ring, and a second reinforcing rib. The bucket lid is fitted onto the top surface of the bucket body, with a gap between the bottom surface of the bucket lid and the top surface of the reinforcing ring. The outer sealing ring and the inner sealing ring are fixed inside the bucket lid, with a gap fit between the outer sealing ring and the inner sealing ring, which is fitted inside the outer sealing ring. The top surface of the bucket body is inserted between the gap between the outer sealing ring and the inner sealing ring. The top surface inside the bucket lid has a lid protrusion, which is a frustum-shaped structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. A second reinforcing rib is fixed between the lid protrusion and the inner wall of the inner sealing ring, and multiple second reinforcing ribs are fixed along the circumference of the lid protrusion.
[0009] Furthermore, the side wall of the bucket lid is provided with a pressing plate and a tearing plate, with the pressing plate located on top of the tearing plate, and a splitting groove formed between the bottom surface of the pressing plate and the top surface of the tearing plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the splitting groove has a U-shaped structure and is opened on both sides of the pressing plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the top surface of the tear-off board is provided with a tearing groove, and the top of the tearing groove is connected to the bottom of the splitting groove.
[0012] Furthermore, friction strips are fixed to the outer wall of the tear-off plate. The friction strips are semi-cylindrical in shape, and multiple friction strips are fixed along the outer wall of the tear-off plate.
[0013] Furthermore, the bottom sealing ring has two finger slots on its outer wall near the tear-off plate, and the finger slots are arc-shaped.
[0014] Furthermore, the reinforcing ring has an inverted L-shaped cross-section, and a first reinforcing rib is fixed between the inner wall of the reinforcing ring and the outer wall of the barrel. Multiple first reinforcing ribs are arranged along the outer wall of the barrel.
[0015] Furthermore, the top surface of the lid has a groove for insertion into the bottom surface of the bucket body. A fixed protrusion is fixed inside the groove, and the bottom surface of the bucket body has a groove structure. The fixed protrusion is used to position and insert into the groove structure of the bucket body.
[0016] Furthermore, the inner bottom side of the barrel has a rounded corner structure.
[0017] This utility model provides an easy-open oval plastic bucket. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0018] 1. By setting the barrel body to an elliptical structure, the overall volume of the barrel body can be increased. Then, the barrel handle is set on the two ends of the wider reinforcing ring on the barrel body. Combined with the outer sealing ring and inner sealing ring on the barrel lid, and a second reinforcing rib is fixed between the lid protrusion and the inner sealing ring, the structural strength of the barrel lid is improved, and the overall stability and sealing of the barrel body are improved.
[0019] 2. By setting a pressing plate and a tearing plate on the bucket lid, and separating the pressing plate and the tearing plate by a split groove, the bucket lid and the reinforcing ring can be opened simply by pushing the pressing plate and breaking the tearing plate. The opening operation is simple and efficient.
[0020] 3. By setting the splitting groove to a U-shaped structure and extending it to both sides of the pressing plate, the pressing plate can press deeper, increasing the misalignment distance between the pressing plate and the tearing plate when disassembling, further improving the convenience of opening the bucket lid.
[0021] 4. By setting tear grooves on the tear-off board, the board can be broken with a small amount of pulling force or cut with a knife, thus smoothly tearing open the side of the bucket lid, improving the convenience of opening operation;
[0022] 5. By setting multiple friction strips on the outer wall of the tear-off board, the friction between the tear-off board and the hand is increased when the side of the bucket lid is completely torn open by holding the tear-off board after it breaks, thereby improving the stability of tearing open the bucket lid.
[0023] 6. The finger slot is exposed after the tear-off board is opened. When you pry open the lid with your fingers, you can put your fingers into the finger slot, which allows your fingers to reach more into the bottom of the lid, increasing the area to pry open the lid and further improving the convenience of opening the lid.
[0024] 7. After opening the lid, it can be used as a base. Then, insert the bucket body into the lid and insert the protrusions into the bottom of the bucket body to prevent slipping, so that the bucket body is inserted tightly, thereby improving the stability of the bucket body after it is opened.
[0025] 8. The rounded corners on the bottom and sides of the container reduce the chance of contents getting stuck at the four corners, making it easier to clean.
[0026] 9. Depending on the weight requirements, the bucket handle can be replaced with a stronger material, such as an iron handle, to ensure the strength of lifting the plastic bucket. Attached Figure Description

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0039] Example 1
[0040] To address the technical problems in the background section, the following easy-open oval plastic bucket is provided:
[0041] Combination Figures 1-9As shown, the easy-open elliptical plastic bucket provided by this utility model includes a bucket body 1. The bucket body 1 is an elliptical bucket structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. An elliptical reinforcing ring 2 is fitted and fixed to the outer wall of the bucket body 1. A bottom sealing ring 21 is fixed to the top surface of the reinforcing ring 2. The bottom sealing ring 21 is fitted and fixed to the outer wall of the bucket body 1. The two ends of the long axis of the elliptical structure of the reinforcing ring 2 are connected to the bucket handle 4. A handle 41 is fixed to the inner wall of the bucket handle 4. A cap sealing assembly 3 is fitted and sealed to the top opening of the bucket body 1. The bottom gap of the cap sealing assembly 3 is set at the top surface of the reinforcing ring 2.
[0042] The sealing assembly 3 includes a bucket lid 31, an outer sealing ring 32, an inner sealing ring 33, and a second reinforcing rib 34. The bucket lid 31 is fitted onto the top surface of the bucket body 1. The bottom surface of the bucket lid 31 is spaced apart from the top surface of the reinforcing ring 2. The outer sealing ring 32 and the inner sealing ring 33 are fixed inside the bucket lid 31. The outer sealing ring 32 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the bucket lid 31. The inner sealing ring 33 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the outer sealing ring 32. The top surface of the bucket body 1 is inserted between the gap between the outer sealing ring 32 and the inner sealing ring 33. The top surface inside the bucket lid 31 is provided with a lid protrusion 313. The lid protrusion 313 is a frustum-shaped structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. A second reinforcing rib 34 is fixed between the lid protrusion 313 and the inner wall of the inner sealing ring 33. Multiple second reinforcing ribs 34 are fixed along the circumference of the lid protrusion 313.
[0043] The above structure can achieve the following effects: by setting the barrel body 1 as an elliptical structure, the overall volume of the barrel body 1 can be increased. Then, the barrel handle 4 is set on the two wider ends of the reinforcing ring 2 on the barrel body 1. Combined with the outer sealing ring 32 and inner sealing ring 33 on the barrel lid 31, and the second reinforcing rib 34 is fixed between the lid protrusion 313 and the inner sealing ring 33, the structural strength of the barrel lid 31 is improved, and the overall stability and sealing of the barrel body 1 are improved.
[0044] In this embodiment, the side wall of the bucket lid 31 is provided with a pressing plate 314 and a tearing plate 315. The pressing plate 314 is located on top of the tearing plate 315, and a splitting groove 318 is formed between the bottom surface of the pressing plate 314 and the top surface of the tearing plate 315. By setting the pressing plate 314 and the tearing plate 315 on the bucket lid 31, and separating the pressing plate 314 and the tearing plate 315 by the splitting groove 318, the bucket lid 31 and the reinforcing ring 2 can be opened simply by pushing the pressing plate 314 and pulling the tearing plate 315 off. The opening operation is simple and efficient.
[0045] In this embodiment, the splitting groove 318 is a U-shaped structure, and the splitting groove 318 is opened on both sides of the pressing plate 314. By setting the splitting groove 318 as a U-shaped structure and extending it to both sides of the pressing plate 314, the pressing plate 314 can press deeper, and the misalignment distance between the pressing plate 314 and the tear plate 315 is increased when disassembling, which further improves the convenience of disassembling the bucket lid 31.
[0046] In this embodiment, the top surface of the tear-off plate 315 is provided with a tearing groove 316, and the top of the tearing groove 316 is connected to the bottom of the splitting groove 318. By providing the tearing groove 316 on the tear-off plate 315, the tear-off plate 315 can be broken and the lid 31 can be opened with a smaller pulling force, which improves the convenience of opening operation.
[0047] In this embodiment, friction strips 317 are fixed to the outer wall of the tearing plate 315. The friction strips 317 are semi-cylindrical structures, and multiple friction strips 317 are fixed along the outer wall of the tearing plate 315. By setting multiple friction strips 317 on the outer wall of the tearing plate 315, when the tearing plate 315 is broken, the friction between the hand and the hand is increased when the side of the bucket lid 31 is completely torn open by holding the tearing plate 315, thereby improving the stability of the operation of tearing open the bucket lid 31.
[0048] Example 2
[0049] like Figures 2-8 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides the following:
[0050] The bottom sealing ring 21 has a finger slot 211 on its outer wall near the tear-off plate 315. There are two finger slots 211, and each finger slot 211 has an arc-shaped structure. The finger slots 211 are exposed after the tear-off plate 315 is opened. When the lid 31 is pried open with fingers, the fingers are inserted into the finger slots 211, allowing more fingers to reach the bottom surface of the lid 31, increasing the area that can be pried open, and further improving the convenience of opening the lid 31.
[0051] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the reinforcing ring 2 is an inverted L-shaped structure, and a first reinforcing rib 22 is fixed between the inner wall of the reinforcing ring 2 and the outer wall of the barrel 1. Multiple first reinforcing ribs 22 are arranged along the outer wall of the barrel 1.
[0052] In this embodiment, the top surface of the lid 31 is provided with a lid groove 311 for insertion into the bottom surface of the bucket body 1. A fixed protrusion 312 is fixed inside the lid groove 311. The bottom surface of the bucket body 1 has a groove structure. The fixed protrusion 312 is used to position and insert into the groove structure of the bucket body 1. After the lid 31 is opened, it can be used as a base. Then the bucket body 1 is inserted into the lid 31, thereby improving the stability of the bucket body 1 after it is opened.
[0053] In this embodiment, the inner bottom side of the barrel 1 has a rounded corner structure; the rounded corner structure of the inner bottom side of the barrel 1 can reduce the situation where barreled materials get stuck at the four corners of the bottom, making it easier to clean.
[0054] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0055] First press Figures 1-9After placing the items to be sealed into the barrel 1, fasten the lid 31 to the opening at the top of the barrel 1, insert the inner sealing ring 33 into the barrel 1 to seal, and tighten the outer sealing ring 32 on the outer wall of the barrel 1. At this time, there is a gap between the bottom outer surface of the lid 31 and the top surface of the reinforcing ring 2 that is not large enough for a finger to be inserted, thus completing the sealing of the barrel 1. In the sealed state, the sealing point between the lid 31 and the barrel 1 is protected by the side of the lid 31 and the reinforcing ring 2, ensuring the stability of the sealing of the barrel 1. Then, you can hold the barrel handle 4 to transfer the sealed plastic barrel.
[0056] When it is necessary to open the bucket 1, simply push the pressing plate 314 into the inside of the bucket lid 31, so that the pressing plate 314 and the tearing plate 315 are misaligned to form a groove. Then, put your hand into the groove and pull the tearing plate 315 off. The tearing plate 315 breaks off from the tearing groove 316. Continue to hold one side of the tearing plate 315 and completely tear open the side of the bucket lid 31. Then, put your fingers into the finger slot 211 to open the bucket lid 31. The opening operation is simple.
[0057] Finally, after opening the lid 31, place the lid 31 on the ground as a base, and insert the bucket 1 into the lid slot 311 to improve the stability of the bucket 1 after it is opened.
