[0038] See Figures 1-11 As shown, this utility model provides a storage bucket, which includes a bucket body 1, a bucket lid 2, a locking plate 3, an elastic element 4, and a button 5. The bucket lid 2 is threadedly connected to the bucket body 1. The outer wall of the bucket body 1 has at least two lower handles 11, which are located near the upper end of the bucket body 1. The upper end of each lower handle 11 has a slot 111. The outer wall of the bucket lid 2 has an upper handle 21. The locking plate 3 has a first end 31 and a second end 32, and is pivotally connected to the upper handle 21. The first end 31 extends into the slot 111. The two ends of the elastic element 4 are respectively connected to the locking plate 3 and the upper handle 21. The elastic element 4 applies a spring force to the locking plate 3 to keep the first end 31 in the slot 111. The button 5 is movably connected to the upper handle 21, and its lower end contacts the second end 32. Pressing the button 5 drives the locking plate 3 to rotate and disengages the first end 31 from the slot 111.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, at this time, the lid 2 is closed on the body 1. Rotating counterclockwise is the opening direction of the lid 2. The first end 31 of the locking piece 3 is located in the slot 111. When the lid 2 rotates counterclockwise, the first end 31 of the locking piece 3 presses against the lower handle 11, and the locking piece 3 prevents the lid 2 from rotating counterclockwise relative to the body 1, thereby preventing the lid 2 from loosening and achieving the purpose of locking the lid 2 and the body 1. If the button 5 is pressed down, the locking piece 3 will rotate and the first end 31 of the locking piece 3 will leave the first slot 111. At this time, the lid 2 and the body 1 are unlocked, and then the lid 2 can be rotated counterclockwise to open the body 1.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the lid 2 is separated from the body 1. During the process of rotating the lid 2 clockwise onto the body 1, when the locking piece 3 contacts the lower handle 11, the lower handle 11 automatically lifts the first end 31 of the locking piece 3. Therefore, the locking piece 3 does not prevent the lid 2 from rotating clockwise. When the lid 2 is tightened onto the body 1, the first end 31 of the locking piece 3 is exactly above the slot 111. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic element 4 causes the first end 31 of the locking piece 3 to be inserted into the slot 111, thereby realizing the automatic locking of the lid 2 and the body 1.

[0041] In this invention, the locking mechanism, mainly composed of a locking plate 3, an elastic element 4, and a button 5, prevents the lid 2 from loosening during transport of the storage bin, thus avoiding spillage of the material inside. More importantly, during use, the lid 2 automatically locks to the bin 1 after being rotated to the tightened position, making it more convenient to use; and unlocking the lid 2 is also very simple when the storage bin needs to be opened. Furthermore, the lower handle 11 provided on the outside of the bin 1 allows the handler to grip it, further facilitating transport and handling.

[0042] See Figure 5 As shown, to achieve the pivot connection between the locking plate 3 and the upper handle 21, the bottom of the upper handle 21 is provided with a mounting groove 211. The locking plate 3 is located in the mounting groove 211 and is pivotally connected to the upper handle 21 via a pivot 6. The pivot 6 is located between the first end 31 and the second end 32 of the locking plate 3. Both ends of the pivot 6 are fixedly connected to the upper handle 21. The axis of the pivot 6 is parallel to the upper surface of the lid 2 and perpendicular to the line connecting the first end 31 and the second end 32. The locking plate 3 can rotate around the axis of the pivot 6. In a specific implementation, the pivot 6 can be made closer to the second end 32 of the locking plate 3. In this case, when the second end 32 of the locking plate 3 moves a small distance, the first end 31 of the locking plate 3 can achieve a relatively larger movement distance.

[0043] See Figure 5 As shown, button 5 is movably connected to the upper handle 21. The upper end of the upper handle 21 has a circular through hole 212 communicating with the mounting groove 211. Button 5 is located in the through hole 212, with its upper end extending out of the through hole 212 and its lower end extending into the mounting groove 211. The projection of the pivot 6 on the upper surface of the lower handle 11 is located between the projections of the slot 111 and the through hole 212 on the upper surface of the lower handle 11. It is worth noting that the diameter of the aforementioned through hole 212 is larger than the diameter of button 5, so there is a clearance fit between button 5 and through hole 212, allowing button 5 to move up and down within the through hole 212.

[0044] In this embodiment, the elastic element 4 is a compression spring. The locking plate 3 is provided with a first limiting block 33 near the first end 31, and the mounting groove 211 is provided with a second limiting block 213 fixedly connected to the upper handle 21. The upper and lower ends of the elastic element 4 are respectively sleeved on the second limiting block 213 and the first limiting block 33. The first limiting block 33 and the second limiting block 213 can realize the installation and fixation of the compression spring and prevent the compression spring from deviating.

[0045] See Figure 7As shown, in this utility model, the bottom of the barrel 1 is an upwardly convex spherical surface. By designing the bottom of the barrel 1 with the aforementioned structure, the loading capacity of the barrel 1 can be improved, making the storage barrel suitable for holding granular materials with higher density.

[0046] In this invention, there are two lower handles 11 and two upper handles 21, with the two lower handles 11 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bucket body 1. It should be noted that it is not necessary to provide locking mechanisms on both upper handles 21; only one upper handle 21 needs a locking mechanism. This helps reduce manufacturing costs, and only one locking mechanism needs to be unlocked during use, making it more convenient. The upper handles 21 in this invention can also serve as a gripping part for the user, making it easier to open the bucket lid 2 or tighten the lid 2 onto the bucket body 1.

[0047] See Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the upper end of the bucket body 1 has eight external threads 13 located above the lower handle 11. The eight external threads 13 are evenly spaced around the outer wall of the bucket body 1. The inner wall of the bucket lid 2 has eight internal threads 22 that match the external threads 13. Each external thread 13 does not encircle the bucket body 1 completely, but the central angle corresponding to each external thread 13 is approximately 90 degrees. This means that tightening the bucket lid 2 to the bucket body 1 and unscrewing the bucket lid 2 from the bucket body 1 only requires rotating the bucket lid 2 by a small angle, thus enabling quick assembly and disassembly of the bucket lid 2.

[0048] See Figure 2 As shown, the upper end of the lid 2 is provided with a recess 23, the diameter of which is not less than the diameter of the bottom of the body 1. When stacking, the body 1 of the upper storage bin can be inserted into the lid 2 of the lower storage bin, which facilitates the stacking of the storage bins and also prevents the storage bins from sliding during transportation.

[0049] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the outer wall of the barrel 1 has an outer edge 12 that surrounds it, and the lower handle 11 is located outside the outer edge 12 and is fixedly connected to the outer edge 12. See also Figure 8 As shown, the outer edge 12 includes a connecting portion 121, a ring portion 122, and stiffening plates 123. The upper end of the ring portion 122 is connected to the body of the barrel 1 through the connecting portion 121. The stiffening plates 123 are located between the ring portion 122 and the body of the barrel 1 and are fixedly connected to the connecting portion 121, the ring portion 122, and the body of the barrel 1. Multiple stiffening plates 123 are distributed at equal intervals around the body of the barrel 1. The provided edge can improve the structural strength of the barrel 1 and prevent excessive deformation during use.
