Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a flip-top lid and a trash can thereof, belonging to the field of trash can technology. Background Technology
[0002] Trash cans are an indispensable household item, and most have lids to prevent odors from spreading. Currently, most trash can lids on the market are flip-top type, opened by pressing a button or pressure plate, or stepping on a foot pedal, as seen in patent number "ZL201710844871.5" entitled "A Flip-Top Trash Can." However, flip-top trash cans require sufficient space above the lid to open. When there is an obstruction above the trash can, such as when the trash can is under a table, the lid may not fully open during the flipping process due to contact with the table surface, affecting trash disposal. Another type of trash can has a lid hinged at both ends in the middle of the lid at the opening. Trash is placed in from one side of the lid, and the lid flips open under gravity; however, the lid of this type of trash can is difficult to automatically return to a fully closed state after flipping, leading to odors spreading. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a flip-top lid and its associated trash can that enables the first and second cover plates to automatically rotate and reset.
[0004] To achieve this objective, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is:
[0005] A flip-top bucket lid includes a frame with a dispensing opening inside. A first cover plate and a second cover plate are hinged to the dispensing opening. When the first cover plate and the second cover plate are joined together, the dispensing opening is closed. Several torsion springs are connected between the first cover plate and the frame, and between the second cover plate and the frame.
[0006] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: the first cover plate and the second cover plate are provided with cover plate protrusions and cover plate recesses on their opposite sides. The cover plate protrusion on the first cover plate enters into the cover plate recess on the second cover plate, and the cover plate protrusion on the second cover plate enters into the cover plate recess on the first cover plate, thereby closing the dispensing port.
[0007] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: the convex part of the cover plate and the concave part of the cover plate are connected by an inclined surface.
[0008] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: both ends of the opposite sides of the first cover plate and the second cover plate are provided with insertion shafts, the torsion spring is sleeved on the insertion shaft, the inner wall of the frame is provided with an insertion hole, the end of the insertion shaft is inserted into the insertion hole, the inner wall of the frame is provided with a first slot, and both the first cover plate and the second cover plate are provided with a second slot. The two ends of the torsion spring are bent to form a first hook and a second hook, respectively. The first hook is located in the first slot and hooks the inner wall of the frame, and the second hook is located in the second slot.
[0009] The trash can includes a flip-top lid as described in the above technical solution, and also includes a body, with handles on the top of both sides of the body.
[0010] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: the handle is integrally formed on the barrel body, and there is a space between the inner side of the handle and the outer wall of the barrel body for inserting a hand.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model is equipped with a torsion spring. When the first and second covers are subjected to external force, they rotate downward to open the disposal port, at which time the torsion spring deforms. After the external force is removed, the torsion spring returns to its original shape and drives the first and second covers to automatically rotate upward to reset, so that the disposal port is automatically closed to prevent garbage odor from spreading. The first and second covers are provided with cover protrusions on opposite sides. When the user needs to throw away garbage, pressing down on the cover protrusions will make the rotation of the first and second covers easier, making the garbage disposal process easier. When throwing away garbage, the first and second covers rotate into the bin, without the need for upward flipping space or rotation space outside the bin, making it more suitable for a wider range of environments. The handle on the bin body facilitates the carrying and moving of the bin. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. For example... Figure 1-4As shown, a flip-top trash can lid and its corresponding trash can include a can body 8 and a frame 1 located on the can body 8. The frame 1 has a disposal opening 11 communicating with the can body 8. A first cover plate 2 and a second cover plate 4 are hinged to the disposal opening 11. When the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 4 are fitted together, the disposal opening 11 is closed. Figure 1 As shown. Several torsion springs 3 are connected between the first cover plate 2 and the frame 1, and between the second cover plate 4 and the frame 1. Under the action of external force, the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 4 rotate downward to open the disposal port 11. At this time, the torsion springs 3 deform. After the external force disappears, the torsion springs 3 return to their original shape and drive the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 4 to automatically rotate upward to reset, so that the disposal port 11 is automatically closed to prevent garbage odor from spreading. When disposing of garbage, the first cover plate 2 or the second cover plate 4 is rotated downward, and the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 4 rotate inward into the bin 8, without the need for upward flipping space or rotation space outside the bin, making it more suitable for a wider range of environments. In use, only the first cover plate 2 or the second cover plate 4 can be rotated so that the garbage can enter the bin 8 through the open disposal port 11; or the first cover plate 2 or the second cover plate 4 can be rotated to Figure 3 The shown disposal port 11 is fully open, making it easy to dispose of large volumes of waste.
[0017] In the above technical solution: Insertion shafts 21 are provided at both ends of the opposite sides of the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 4. Torsion springs 3 are sleeved on the insertion shafts 21. Insertion holes are formed on the inner wall of the frame 1, and the ends of the insertion shafts 21 are inserted into the insertion holes. A first slot 12 is formed on the inner wall of the frame 1, and two second slots 22 are formed on both the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 4. The two ends of the torsion spring 3 are bent to form a first hook 31 and a second hook 32, respectively. The first hook 31 is located in the first slot 12 and hooks the inner wall of the frame 1, while the second hook 32 is located in the second slot 22. When an external force causes the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 4 to rotate, the groove wall of the second slot 22 presses against the second hook 32, causing the second hook 32 to be driven to twist, and the torsion spring 3 deforms. When the external force disappears, the elastic force of the torsion spring 3 is released, causing the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 4 to automatically rotate upwards and reset.
[0018] In the above technical solution: The first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 4 each have a cover plate protrusion 5 and a cover plate recess 6 on their opposite sides, and the cover plate protrusion 5 and the cover plate recess 6 are connected by an inclined surface 7. The cover plate protrusion 5 on the first cover plate 2 enters into the cover plate recess 6 on the second cover plate 4, and the cover plate protrusion 5 on the second cover plate 4 enters into the cover plate recess 6 on the first cover plate 2, thus closing the dispensing port 11. Figure 1As shown. Rotating the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 4 requires overcoming the tension of the torsion spring 3 to cause deformation. Both the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 4 have their insertion shaft 21 as the center of rotation. According to the lever principle, the farther the point of force application on the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 4 is from the center of rotation, the less force is required for rotation. Therefore, when a user needs to dispose of trash, the user can rotate the first cover plate 2 and / or the second cover plate 4 by pressing down on the cover plate protrusion 5. Since the cover plate protrusion 5 is far from the torsion spring 3 and the insertion shaft 21, according to the lever principle, pressing down on the cover plate protrusion 5 makes the rotation of the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 4 easier, making the trash disposal process less strenuous. At the same time, the cover plate protrusion 5 and the cover plate recess 6 create a more aesthetically pleasing and visually appealing design on the sides of the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 4.
[0019] In the above technical solution: handles 81 are provided on the top of both sides of the barrel 8. The handles 81 are integrally formed on the barrel 8. There is a space between the inner side of the handle 81 and the outer wall of the barrel 8 for inserting a hand, so that the handle 81 can be gripped to move the barrel 8, and the barrel 8 can be moved and transported.
[0020] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
