[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, existing anti-static plastic buckets incorporate conductive rods within the bucket wall. However, since the bucket body is made of plastic, which is difficult to conduct electricity, these conductive rods cannot effectively guide static electricity away from the items inside the bucket. Furthermore, the conductive ring at the bottom of the bucket is prone to grounding issues when placed on uneven surfaces. The existing conductive rods can only contact items near the bucket wall, and during bucket shaking, not all items may come into contact with the conductive rods. Therefore, the ability to eliminate static electricity from the items inside the bucket is limited. In conclusion, existing plastic buckets struggle to achieve stable elimination of static electricity within the bucket. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a plastic bucket that can eliminate static electricity, so as to solve the technical problem that existing plastic buckets are difficult to achieve stable elimination of static electricity inside the bucket.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a plastic bucket capable of eliminating static electricity, comprising a bucket body, a first conductive frame fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the bucket body, the first conductive frame having first conductive rods arranged in a ring at intervals along the vertical direction, the first conductive rods being attached to the inner wall of the bucket body, and further comprising a third conductive frame, the third conductive frame being fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the bucket body, and having elastic conductive feet arranged in a ring at intervals, the bottom end of the elastic conductive feet being lower than the bottom surface of the bucket body, and the third conductive frame being electrically connected to the first conductive frame.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a first conductive frame is set on the inner wall of the barrel, and an elastic conductive foot is connected to the bottom of the barrel, with the bottom end of the elastic conductive foot lower than the bottom surface of the barrel. After the first conductive frame and the elastic conductive foot are electrically connected, the static electricity of the items inside the barrel can be stably discharged.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a ball joint seat is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom end of the inner wall of the barrel, a universal ball is rotatably connected inside the ball joint seat, a turntable coaxial with the barrel is fixedly connected to the top of the universal ball, a corrugated pipe is connected between the edge of the turntable and the inner wall of the barrel, and a second conductive frame electrically connected to the third conductive frame is installed on the top surface of the turntable.

[0009] Preferably, the turntable can rotate when the barrel is shaken.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the second conductive frame is fixedly connected with the second conductive rod at an annular interval.

[0011] Preferably, the second conductive rod can directly contact the items inside the barrel, expanding the range of static electricity discharge.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the second conductive rod has a spiral structure.

[0013] Preferably, the spiral-shaped second conductive rod can further expand the electrostatic discharge range of the items inside the barrel.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the first conductive frame is electrically connected to the first conductive post, the second conductive frame is electrically connected to the second conductive post, and the third conductive frame is electrically connected to the third conductive post, wherein the first conductive post, the second conductive post, and the third conductive post are connected by wires.

[0015] Preferably, the first conductive frame and the second conductive frame conduct static electricity from the items inside the barrel to the elastic conductive feet, and finally to the ground.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that the elastic conductive feet connected to the third conductive frame are respectively oriented towards the inner and outer rings of the third conductive frame.

[0017] Preferably, the contact range between the elastic conductive foot and the ground is further expanded.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the height of the top end of the second conductive rod is lower than the top end of the barrel.

[0019] Preferably, interference between the lid and the second conductive rod is prevented when the lid is on.

[0020] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0021] 1. This utility model achieves stable discharge of static electricity from items inside the barrel by setting a first conductive frame on the inner wall of the barrel and connecting an elastic conductive foot to the bottom of the barrel, with the bottom end of the elastic conductive foot lower than the bottom surface of the barrel. After electrically connecting the first conductive frame and the elastic conductive foot, the static electricity of the items inside the barrel can be stably discharged.

[0022] 2. This utility model connects the turntable to the bottom of the inner wall of the barrel through a universal ball joint structure. A second conductive frame is set on the turntable, and the second conductive frame is electrically connected to the elastic conductive foot.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0032] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0033] First embodiment:

[0034] A type of anti-static plastic bucket, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-6The container includes a barrel body 1, with a lid 2 covering the top of the barrel body 1 and a handle for lifting the barrel body 1. The barrel body 1 can hold small particles that are prone to generating static electricity. Specifically, a first conductive frame 5 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the barrel body 1. The first conductive frame 5 is provided with first conductive rods 501 arranged in a ring along the vertical direction. The first conductive rods 501 are attached to the inner wall of the barrel body 1. Specifically, the first conductive frame 5 has a ring structure and is electrically connected to a first conductive post 502.

[0035] It also includes a third conductive frame 7. Specifically, the third conductive frame 7 is also in the form of a ring structure. The third conductive frame 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the barrel 1 and is provided with elastic conductive feet 701 in a ring at intervals. Specifically, the elastic conductive feet 701 are conductive springs. The bottom end of the elastic conductive feet 701 is lower than the bottom surface of the barrel 1. The bottom end of the elastic conductive feet 701 can contact the ground before the barrel 1. Even if the ground is uneven, the elastic conductive feet 701 can be stably in contact with the ground. The third conductive frame 7 is electrically connected to the first conductive frame 5. Specifically, the third conductive frame 7 is electrically connected to a third conductive post 702. The third conductive post 702 is connected to the first conductive post 502 through a wire.

[0036] Second embodiment:

[0037] A type of anti-static plastic bucket, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-6 Based on the first embodiment, the difference from the first embodiment is that a ball joint seat 101 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the inner wall of the barrel 1, a universal ball 301 is rotatably connected inside the ball joint seat 101, a turntable 3 that can be coaxial with the barrel 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the universal ball 301, and a corrugated pipe 4 is connected between the edge of the turntable 3 and the inner wall of the barrel 1.

[0038] Specifically, when the turntable 3 is level with the bottom of the barrel 1, the omnidirectional ball 301 is in a vertical state. After the barrel 1 is filled with items, the weight of the items presses down one end of the turntable 3, causing the turntable 3 to tilt. One end of the turntable 3 is raised while the other end is pressed down. One end of the corrugated tube 4 between the edge of the turntable 3 and the inner wall of the barrel 1 is stretched while the other end is compressed. The corrugated tube 4 is used to prevent items in the barrel 1 from entering below the turntable 3. When the center of gravity of the items in the barrel 1 changes, the turntable 3 rotates around the ball joint seat 101 as an axis, but it is always in a state where one end is raised and the other end is pressed down.

[0039] Furthermore, a second conductive frame 6, which is also electrically connected to the third conductive frame 7, is installed on the top surface of the turntable 3. When the barrel 1 shakes, the turntable 3 can rotate. During the rotation of the turntable 3, the second conductive rod 601 can get more opportunities to contact the items inside the barrel 1, thereby obtaining a better static electricity discharge effect.

[0040] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3-6 The second conductive frame 6 is fixedly connected to the second conductive rod 601 in a ring-shaped interval. The second conductive rod 601 can directly contact the items inside the barrel 1, expanding the range of static electricity discharge.

[0041] Specifically, the first conductive frame 5 is electrically connected to the first conductive post 502, the second conductive frame 6 is electrically connected to the second conductive post 602, and the third conductive frame 7 is electrically connected to the third conductive post 702. The first conductive post 502, the second conductive post 602, and the third conductive post 702 are connected by wires. The first conductive frame 5 and the second conductive frame 6 conduct the static electricity of the items in the barrel 1 to the elastic conductive foot 701, and finally guide it to the ground.

[0042] Third embodiment:

[0043] A type of anti-static plastic bucket, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-6 Based on the second embodiment, the difference from the second embodiment is that the second conductive rod 601 has a spiral structure. The spiral structure of the second conductive rod 601 can further expand the static electricity discharge range of the items in the barrel 1. The elastic conductive feet 701 connected to the third conductive frame 7 are respectively facing the inner and outer rings of the third conductive frame 7, further expanding the contact range between the elastic conductive feet 701 and the ground, and avoiding grounding failure due to uneven placement surface of the barrel 1.

[0044] Specifically, the top of the second conductive rod 601 is lower than the top of the barrel 1 to prevent the lid 2 from interfering with the second conductive rod 601 when it is closed.

[0045] In practical use, when the barrel 1 contains small particles that are prone to generating static electricity, the items on the inner wall of the barrel 1 directly contact the first conductive rod 501. The first conductive rod 501 conducts the static electricity through the first conductive frame 5 and the connected conductive components to the elastic conductive foot 701, and finally conducts the static electricity to the ground. When the center of gravity of the items in the barrel 1 changes, the turntable 3 rotates around the ball joint seat 101. The corrugated pipe 4 is used to prevent the items from leaking to the bottom of the turntable 3. The second conductive rod 601 on the turntable 3 can fully contact the items in the barrel 1 during the rotation of the turntable, further improving the efficiency of static electricity discharge.
