Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of trash can technology, and in particular relates to a trash can that can be adapted to different sizes of plastic bags. Background Technology

[0002] Trash cans can be lined with either dedicated trash bags or plastic tote bags. Plastic tote bags are readily available through shopping and are difficult to reuse multiple times, so using plastic tote bags to dispose of trash is a popular choice for many people.

[0003] Current trash cans on the market have many limitations when using plastic bags. Ordinary trash cans often only fit specific sizes of plastic bags. When the plastic bag size is incompatible, it is either unusable or extremely inconvenient to use, leading to a waste of plastic bags and causing inconvenience to users. Moreover, during the process of changing plastic bags, problems such as unstable fixing may affect the normal use of the trash can. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a trash can that can accommodate different sizes of plastic bags.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A trash can includes a can body and a bag-supporting device. The top of the two inner walls of the can body are horizontally provided with rails, and the sides of the two rails are provided with adjusting teeth. The bag-supporting device includes an upwardly protruding support frame, and sliders are provided at both ends of the support frame. The sliders are provided with positioning teeth. The support frame is an elastic component. The two sliders slide in corresponding engagement with the two rails. The positioning teeth mesh with the adjusting teeth. The can body is provided with two bag-supporting devices, and the support frames on the two bag-supporting devices open up the plastic bags.

[0007] Furthermore, the support frame is equipped with handles.

[0008] Furthermore, anti-slip teeth are provided on the opposite sides of both handles.

[0009] Furthermore, a through groove is provided on the opposite side of the two sliders of the bag-supporting device, the track extends into the through groove of the corresponding slider, and the positioning teeth are located inside the through groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the tooth profiles of the adjusting teeth and positioning teeth are arc-shaped, trapezoidal, or involute.

[0011] Furthermore, a top cover is hinged to the upper end of the barrel, which opens and closes the top opening of the barrel.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] When using the trash can, the user first adjusts the position of the bag-supporting device on the track according to the size of the plastic bag. Then, the plastic bag is placed inside the can, and the two ends of the top edge of the plastic bag are placed on the support frames of the two bag-supporting devices. The two bag-supporting devices are then slid to both sides until they fully open the plastic bag and the bag opening is taut. Once the two bag-supporting devices are released, they can be stopped. After releasing, the support frames elastically deform and return to their original position, and the positioning and adjusting teeth re-engage, locking the position of the bag-supporting devices. The anti-slip teeth on the support frame handle prevent the plastic bag from falling off. When the plastic bag is full and needs to be collected, simply move the two bag-supporting devices inwards towards each other to easily remove the plastic bag. The anti-slip teeth further prevent the plastic bag from falling off. This invention can use discarded plastic bags of different sizes as trash bags, reusing these bags and reducing white pollution.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model is described below with reference to specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present utility model.

[0023] The connections mentioned in this utility model are divided into fixed connections and detachable connections. Fixed connections, also known as non-detachable connections, include but are not limited to conventional fixed connection methods such as folded connections, riveted connections, adhesive connections, and welded connections. Detachable connections include but are not limited to conventional disassembly methods such as bolt connections, snap-fit ​​connections, pin connections, and hinge connections. When a specific connection method is not explicitly defined, it is assumed that at least one existing connection method can be found to achieve this function, and those skilled in the art can choose according to their needs. For example, a welded connection can be chosen for a fixed connection, and a bolted connection can be chosen for a detachable connection.

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0025] Example: Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a trash can includes a can body 1 and a bag-supporting device 2. The top of the two opposing inner walls of the can body 1 are horizontally provided with rails 11. The two rails 11 are provided with adjusting teeth 12 along the length of the rails 11 on their opposite sides. The bag-supporting device 2 includes an upwardly protruding support frame 21. The two ends of the support frame 21 are respectively provided with sliders 22. The sliders 22 are provided with positioning teeth 26. The support frame 21 is an elastic component. The two sliders 22 are slidably engaged with the two rails 11. The positioning teeth 26 are engaged with the adjusting teeth 12. The can body 1 is provided with two bag-supporting devices 2. The handles of the two bag-supporting devices 2 open the plastic bag.

[0026] The support frame 21 is equipped with a handle 23.

[0027] Both handles 23 have anti-slip teeth 24 on opposite sides.

[0028] The two sliders 22 of the bag support device 2 have through grooves 25 on opposite sides. The track 11 extends into the through grooves 25 of the corresponding sliders 22, and the positioning teeth 26 are located inside the through grooves 25.

[0029] The tooth profiles of the adjusting tooth 12 and the positioning tooth 26 are arc-shaped, trapezoidal, or involute.

[0030] The upper end of the barrel 1 is hinged to a top cover 3, which opens and closes the upper opening of the barrel 1.

[0031] When using the trash can, the user first adjusts the position of the bag-supporting device 2 on the track 11 according to the size of the plastic bag. Then, the plastic bag is placed inside the can body 1, and the two ends of the upper edge of the plastic bag are placed on the support frame 21 of the two bag-supporting devices 2. The support frame 21 brings the two sliders 22 of the bag-supporting device 2 closer together, thereby disengaging the positioning tooth 26 from the adjusting tooth 12. The two bag-supporting devices are then slid to the sides until the two bag-supporting devices 2 fully open the plastic bag and the bag opening is taut. The movement of the two bag-supporting devices 2 can then be stopped. After releasing the grip, the support frame 21 elastically deforms and returns to its original position, and the positioning tooth 26 re-engages with the adjusting tooth 12, locking the position of the bag-supporting devices 2 and ensuring that the plastic bag does not easily fall off the support frame 21. When the plastic bag is full of trash and needs to be collected, simply move the two bag-supporting devices 2 inwards towards each other to easily remove the plastic bag. The anti-slip tooth 24 further prevents the plastic bag from falling off.

[0032] With social development, people's demand for plastic bags is increasing, and at the same time, the amount of white pollution is also increasing. This utility model can use plastic bags of different sizes as garbage bags, reuse the garbage bags, reduce white pollution, and help people cultivate good habits of saving and reducing waste.

[0033] The above embodiments are merely illustrative examples of the present utility model and do not limit its scope of protection. Those skilled in the art can make partial changes to it, as long as they do not exceed the spirit and essence of the present utility model, they are all within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
