TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The technical scheme relates to the technical field of garbage cans, in particular to a garbage can with a flip cover locking structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] A garbage can is a container designed to collect and temporarily store waste, a daily life item used in environments such as homes, offices, public places, etc., helping to keep the environment clean and hygienic.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN215400847U discloses a garbage can, which includes a can body, a can cover, and a top cover. A handle is rotatably connected to the opening of the can body. The can cover is provided with a garbage throwing opening that penetrates up and down. The top cover is provided with a fixing device that keeps the top cover in a closed state. The fixing device includes a press switch and a lock head. The lock head is integrally formed with the top cover. The press switch is arranged on the can cover. The press switch is locked by clamping the lock head. The top cover is provided with an unlocking part. When in use, the press switch is unlocked by pressing the unlocking part.

[0004] The existing garbage can is opened by pressing the lid. The unlocking part needs to be matched with the lock head arranged in position to unlock the top cover by operating the press switch. In actual use, this design has some problems. Users (including adults, children, and pets) may accidentally touch the press switch, causing the garbage can cover to open unexpectedly, which is inconvenient for users and may affect the sealing performance and service life of the garbage can. The false touch rate is high and needs to be improved. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical scheme is provided to improve the problem of high false touch rate of the press switch of the existing garbage can in opening the can cover, and provides a garbage can with a flip cover locking structure.

[0006] The purpose of the technical scheme is achieved as follows:

[0007] A garbage can with a flip cover locking structure includes a can body and a can cover hinged to the can body. The upper end of the can body has a can opening. The can opening protrudes outward with a fixed part. A lock catch mechanism is provided between the can body and the can cover. The lock catch mechanism includes:
