Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of trash can technology and relates to an auxiliary fixing structure for trash cans. Background Technology
[0002] A trash can, also known as a waste bin or garbage can, is a container for holding garbage. Most trash cans are made of metal or plastic. When in use, a plastic bag is placed inside, and when there is too much garbage, the plastic bag can be tied up and thrown away.
[0003] Existing trash cans, such as the one disclosed in Chinese patent literature [Patent No.: 202322223853.9; Application Publication No.: CN220663647U], are used in conjunction with trash bags. They include a can body with thick side walls and an opening at the top. Dividers can be detachably connected to the inner walls of each side of the can body. Multiple dividers and the bottom of the can body form a receiving space for placing trash bags.
[0004] This type of trash can is placed directly on the ground via a base, standing upright due to its own weight and the weight of the trash. In actual use, the trash can may be placed near the sea or in windy areas, which poses a risk of it being blown over by strong winds. This causes the trash to spill out and fly everywhere, negatively impacting the surrounding environment and requiring further cleaning, causing inconvenience to users. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing an auxiliary fixing structure for trash cans, thereby solving the technical problem of how to prevent trash cans from tipping over.
[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: an auxiliary fixing structure for a trash can, the trash can including a body, characterized in that the auxiliary fixing structure includes a plurality of receiving grooves located on the circumferential edge of the bottom of the trash can and a fixing frame movably disposed in the receiving grooves, the side wall of the bottom of the trash can having a plurality of anti-detachment holes communicating with the receiving grooves, the fixing frame having a through fixing hole for fasteners to pass through, and the fixing frame having a protruding abutment portion, when the abutment portion abuts against the trash can body on the edge of the anti-detachment hole, the fixing hole is located outside the trash can body.
[0007] When in use, pull the fixing bracket out of the receiving slot and through the anti-detachment hole until the abutting part abuts against the edge of the bucket body. At this time, the fixing hole is located outside the bucket body. Use fasteners such as expansion screws to pass through the fixing hole to fix the fixing bracket to the ground. Since the fixing bracket is snapped together with the bucket body, the bucket body can be firmly fixed to the ground by the fixing bracket. In addition, multiple receiving slots and fixing brackets are set on the circumferential edge of the bottom of the bucket body, so that the trash can can be fixed to the ground from multiple directions. Even if there is a strong wind, the trash can will not tip over.
[0008] In the aforementioned auxiliary fixing structure for a trash can, the circumferential edge of the bottom of the can has several blocking surfaces, each of which is opposite to the anti-detachment hole. When the inner end of the fixing frame abuts against the blocking surface, the entire fixing frame is located in the receiving groove. This structure allows the fixing frame to reside in the receiving groove when not in use, without occupying external space, thus facilitating the packaging and transportation of the trash can.
[0009] In the aforementioned auxiliary fixing structure for a trash can, the abutment is located at the inner end of the fixing frame, the abutment protrudes upwards, and the top of the abutment is located above the top edge of the anti-detachment hole. This structure ensures that when the fixing frame is fixed, it is essentially located entirely outside the trash can body, providing sufficient fixing space. This allows the fixing frame and the receiving slot to be made relatively small, occupying minimal space.
[0010] In the aforementioned auxiliary fixing structure for a trash can, the anti-detachment hole is elongated. This structure allows for a wider fixing frame, increasing the contact area between the fixing frame and the ground, thus improving the stability of the trash can and preventing it from tipping over.
[0011] In the aforementioned auxiliary fixing structure for a trash can, the outer end of the fixing frame has an upwardly protruding pull-out portion, and the center of the anti-detachment hole protrudes upwards, forming a U-shape. This structure provides clearance, making it convenient for the operator to pull the fixing frame out of the receiving slot.
[0012] In the aforementioned auxiliary fixing structure for a trash can, each of the two walls of the receiving groove has a first, elongated limiting portion, and each side of the fixing frame has a second, upward-protruding limiting portion. The second limiting portion is located below the first limiting portion and the top edge of the anti-detachment hole. The outer wall of the second limiting portion is in clearance fit with the two walls of the receiving groove, and the bottom surface of the fixing frame is in contact with the bottom of the receiving groove. The second limiting portion can move along the first limiting portion. The first and second limiting portions serve to limit and guide, preventing the fixing frame from tilting during movement, ensuring that the fixing frame moves in a predetermined direction, and allowing the abutment portion to fully abut against the edge of the trash can body at the anti-detachment hole. This allows for better engagement and positioning of the fixing frame and the trash can body, improving the stability of the trash can.
[0013] In the aforementioned auxiliary fixing structure for a trash can, the lower parts of the two outer side walls of the second limiting part are inclined inward and downward. This structure provides space for accommodating impurities, preventing impurities from entering the receiving groove and causing the fixing frame to jam, thus ensuring smooth movement of the fixing frame.
[0014] In the aforementioned auxiliary fixing structure for a trash can, the two sides of the abutment are recessed relative to the second limiting parts. The abutment is located between a pair of second limiting parts and between a pair of first limiting parts. This structure ensures that the first limiting parts do not contact the abutment, guaranteeing that the fixing bracket can be smoothly pulled out of the receiving groove in a predetermined direction.
[0015] In the aforementioned auxiliary fixing structure for a trash can, the can body includes a main body and a base fixed to the bottom of the main body. The receiving groove and the anti-detachment hole are both located in the base, and the top of the receiving groove extends through the top of the base. The base is injection molded, making the processing of the receiving groove and the anti-detachment hole convenient.
[0016] In the aforementioned auxiliary fixing structure for a trash can, the auxiliary fixing structure also includes several suction cups spaced apart at the bottom of the can body. The suction cups adhere the trash can to the ground, further improving the stability of the trash can and preventing it from tipping over.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the auxiliary fixing structure for a trash can provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0018] 1. After the fixing frame of this trash can is pulled out, the fixing frame is connected to the can body by snapping it together. Then, the fixing frame is fixed to the ground by fasteners, which can fix the trash can to the ground and prevent the trash can from tipping over.
[0019] 2. This trash can is equipped with suction cups at the bottom, which will adhere the trash can to the ground, further improving the stability of the trash can and preventing it from tipping over. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this trash can includes a body 1, which includes a main body 11 and a base 12. The base 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main body 11. In this embodiment, the circumferential edge of the base 12 has four receiving grooves 2, four anti-detachment holes 121, and four blocking surfaces 122. The top of the receiving grooves 2 penetrates the top of the base 12. The anti-detachment holes 121 are located in the side wall of the base 12 and are connected to the receiving grooves 2. The receiving grooves 2, the blocking surfaces 122, and the anti-detachment holes 121 are arranged opposite to each other. In actual production, the number of receiving grooves 2, anti-detachment holes 121, and blocking surfaces 122 can be three or six.
[0027] The auxiliary fixing structure includes a receiving groove 2, a movable fixing frame 3 disposed in the receiving groove 2, and suction cups 5 spaced apart at the bottom of the barrel 1. The receiving groove 2 and the fixing frame 3 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. In this embodiment, there are four suction cups 5. In actual production, the number of suction cups 5 can be six or eight.
[0028] The anti-detachment hole 121 is elongated, with a raised center, forming a U-shape. For example... Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the fixing frame 3 has a through fixing hole 31 for fasteners to pass through. The inner end of the fixing frame 3 has a protruding abutment part 32, which is raised upwards. The top of the abutment part 32 is located above the top edge of the anti-detachment hole 121. The outer end of the fixing frame 3 has a pulling part 33 that is raised upwards. Both sides of the fixing frame 3 have second limiting parts 34 that are raised upwards. The lower part of the two outer side walls of the second limiting parts 34 are inclined inwards and downwards. The two sides of the abutment part 32 are recessed relative to the second limiting parts 34. The abutment part 32 is located between the pair of second limiting parts 34.
[0029] Each of the two walls of the receiving groove 2 has a first limiting part 4 in the shape of an elongated strip, and the abutment part 32 is located between the pair of first limiting parts 4. The second limiting part 34 is located below the first limiting part 4 and the top edge of the anti-detachment hole 121. The outer wall of the second limiting part 34 is in clearance fit with the two walls of the receiving groove 2. The bottom surface of the fixing frame 3 is in contact with the bottom of the receiving groove 2. The second limiting part 34 can move along the first limiting part 4.
[0030] When the inner end of the fixing frame 3 abuts against the blocking surface 122, the fixing frame 3 is entirely located in the receiving groove 2. When fixing the trash can, the operator pulls the pulling part 33 through the anti-detachment hole 121, causing the fixing frame 3 to move along the receiving groove 2 until the abutting part 32 abuts against the can body 1 at the edge of the anti-detachment hole 121. At this time, the fixing frame 3 is snapped into place with the can body 1, and the fixing hole 31 is entirely located outside the can body 1. Then, fasteners such as expansion bolts are passed through the fixing hole 31 and inserted into the ground to fix the trash can to the ground.
