Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garbage cleaning, and in particular to a fireproof garbage bin. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the increase in population density, the frequency of using trash cans in public places has increased significantly. However, because trash cans often accumulate large amounts of flammable materials, such as paper, plastic products, and textiles, these materials can easily ignite when exposed to a source of ignition. The risk of a trash can fire increases significantly, especially in hot weather or when flammable materials (such as cigarette butts or unextinguished matches) are mixed in with the trash. Although modern trash cans are usually equipped with ashtrays on top, and people often instinctively throw extinguished cigarette butts into the trash can, the trash can is not a sealed environment, and extinguished cigarette butts can reignite at any time. If not extinguished in time, the fire can spread, causing personal injury and property damage. While existing trash cans are equipped with fire extinguishers, they often require human intervention to be effective. In the event of a sudden fire, this delayed approach makes rapid fire suppression difficult. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem that traditional trash cans cannot control the flames when they catch fire, which can easily lead to an increase in the fire, and to provide a fire-resistant trash can.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a fire-resistant trash can, including a column, a trash can being provided on one side of the column, a cover being provided at the top of the column, the cover being located above the trash can; a smoke detector being provided on the side of the cover facing the trash can; a nozzle being provided on the column, the nozzle being positioned facing the trash can; a water tank being provided inside the column, the water tank being in communication with the nozzle; and the nozzle being in communication with the smoke detector.

[0005] This utility model relates to a fire-resistant garbage bin. A smoke detector is installed on the top cover of the bin, allowing it to detect smoke from combustion within the bin promptly. A sprinkler head is mounted on the bin's uprights, facing the bin and connected to the smoke detector. Upon detecting smoke, the detector activates the sprinkler head to spray water and extinguish the fire, preventing its spread. The smoke detector on top of the bin provides real-time monitoring of smoke. Once smoke is detected, the detector immediately sends a signal to trigger the sprinkler head, ensuring effective control of the fire in its early stages, preventing its spread, and reducing potential hazards. The sprinkler head is connected to the smoke detector; when the detector detects a fire, the sprinkler head automatically activates to spray water and extinguish the fire inside the bin. This device requires no human intervention and can effectively extinguish fires in a short time, preventing the fire from spreading. It is especially suitable for densely populated environments such as public places and residential areas, effectively improving safety. The column is equipped with a water tank, which is connected to the nozzle. This integrated design allows the fire prevention and extinguishing functions to be realized in a compact manner, saving space.

[0006] Preferably, the column has a cavity inside, and one side of the column has a groove that communicates with the cavity. The cavity has symmetrically arranged slide rails, the sliding direction of which is consistent with the opening direction of the groove. The slide rails have drawers for placing water tanks.

[0007] By placing the water tank inside the column, the water tank and the column are integrated, which saves installation space and improves the space utilization of the fireproof garbage bin. A drawer is set inside the column, and the water tank is placed inside the drawer, so that the staff can directly pull out the water tank for replacement by pulling the drawer, which is convenient for the staff to operate.

[0008] Preferably, the drawer includes symmetrically arranged side panels, with a fixing bracket between the two side panels for mounting the water tank; the drawer also includes a panel whose dimensions match the dimensions of the slot; the drawer also includes a bottom plate with a fixing seat for fixing the bottom of the water tank.

The drawer's panel dimensions match the column slot dimensions, allowing for easy drawer sliding and a tight fit with the column slots. This ensures smooth drawer movement and prevents dust or debris from entering the column cavity, reducing maintenance needs. Management personnel can easily pull out or push in the drawer for convenient inspection, refilling, or replacement of the water tank.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing frame includes an annular component that is sleeved with the outer wall of the water tank. The outer wall of the annular component is provided with a connecting rod, one end of which is connected to the side wall and the other end of which is connected to the annular component.

[0011] By incorporating a ring-shaped fitting to the outer wall of the water tank, the tight fit between the ring and the tank effectively prevents shaking or displacement during use. The ring provides all-around support, further enhancing the tank's stability, especially when drawers slide or the trash can is subjected to external vibrations, ensuring the tank remains unaffected. The ring connects to a connecting rod, which securely links the ring to the drawer sidewall, forming a robust support structure. This simple and effective design maintains the structure's lightweight nature while enhancing overall durability, ensuring the water tank's stability and safety during extended use.

[0012] Preferably, the water tank is provided with a water inlet at the upper end, the water inlet is connected to a water pipe, the water pipe is located inside the column, and the water pipe is connected to the nozzle.
