Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foot-operated trash can technology, and more specifically to a user-friendly foot-operated trash can. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, trash cans are essential for waste disposal, and their design rationality and convenience directly affect the user experience. Traditional foot-operated trash cans open the lid via a foot pedal mechanism. This design was originally intended to reduce direct hand contact with the trash can, maintain hygiene, and facilitate waste disposal. However, in practical applications, the design of traditional foot-operated trash cans has gradually revealed some shortcomings.

[0003] First, traditional foot-operated trash cans typically have lids that open only slightly, unable to fully open to a position greater than 90° to allow the lid to close automatically under gravity after the user has disposed of the trash. This design limits the space available for trash disposal, especially when dealing with large or irregularly shaped items. Users often need to adjust the position of the trash or attempt to dispose of it successfully. This not only increases the complexity of operation but may also affect the accuracy of the user's disposal.

[0004] Secondly, traditional foot-operated trash cans have a significant drawback in keeping the lid open. Once the user releases the pedal, the lid immediately closes, failing to provide a stopping function. This means that users must keep the pedal continuously pressed while emptying the trash can, otherwise the lid will close rapidly. This design not only increases the user's physical exertion but may also cause trash to scatter or land on the user's clothing due to improper operation, causing unnecessary inconvenience.

[0005] Furthermore, because the lid cannot be fully opened and kept open, users may need to bend over or adjust their posture to fit the small opening when emptying the trash. This not only increases the difficulty of operation but may also put unnecessary pressure on the user's lumbar and cervical spine, especially for the elderly or people with disabilities, for whom this design is even more inconvenient.

[0006] In summary, traditional foot-operated trash cans have significant shortcomings in terms of lid opening angle, maintaining the open position, and ease of operation. These shortcomings limit the user experience, especially in high-frequency garbage disposal scenarios such as kitchens, where the problems are even more pronounced. Therefore, it is necessary to design a user-friendly foot-operated trash can that, through innovative design, allows for easy opening and closing of the lid at a wide angle and includes a stopping function, in order to overcome the limitations of existing technology and improve the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0007] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a user-friendly foot-operated trash can to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0008] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a convenient foot-operated trash can, comprising a trash can body, the trash can body including a bucket body and a bucket lid, one end of the bucket lid being rotatably connected to the bucket body via a pivot, allowing the bucket lid to open and close relative to the bucket body; the bucket body is provided with a pedal mounting groove and a connecting rod mounting groove, a pedal body being rotatably mounted in the pedal mounting groove, the end of the pedal body being rotatably connected to a connecting rod body, the connecting rod body being placed in the connecting rod mounting groove for transmitting the pedal body's stepping force; a lifting part is provided at the top of the connecting rod body for realizing the opening and closing operation of the bucket lid; a connecting plate is installed at the bottom of the bucket lid, and a flipping part is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate in conjunction with the lifting part, realizing the flipping of the connecting plate and the bucket lid through the lifting action of the lifting part; the lifting part has a through hole and a top post for effective transmission connection with the flipping part; the flipping part has a first arc-shaped part and a second arc-shaped part for interacting with the lifting part to realize the opening and closing of the bucket lid.

[0009] When the lid is closed, the top post is located below the first arc-shaped section. When the user steps down on the pedal body, the top post in the lifting section moves upward through the transmission of the connecting rod body, thereby pushing the connecting plate to flip and opening the lid. At this time, the opening angle of the lid is greater than 90°, and it cooperates with the stop block installed on the back of the bucket to keep the lid in the open state. When the user releases the pedal body, under the action of gravity, the connecting rod body drives the lifting section to descend, causing the top post to slide from the first arc-shaped section into the second arc-shaped section. When the user steps down on the pedal body again, the connecting rod body drives the top post in the lifting section to move upward again, and the flipping action of the flipping part automatically closes the lid.

[0010] Furthermore, a guide groove is installed on the inner wall of the connecting rod mounting groove, and a guide post is slidably installed in the guide groove. The guide post is fixedly connected to the connecting rod body and plays a path guiding role when the connecting rod body drives the lifting part to lift, ensuring the stability of the movement trajectory of the connecting rod body.

[0011] Furthermore, the bin includes a first sub-bin and a second sub-bin, which facilitates waste sorting and improves resource utilization and environmental performance.

[0012] Furthermore, the tank body also includes a bottom mounting base, which is used to assemble the first and second sub-tanks for easy subsequent maintenance and cleaning.

[0013] Furthermore, the bin lid also includes a small cover body, which is detachably installed on the top of the bin lid to cover the opening of the bin lid and reduce odor emission; an air fragrance box is installed at the bottom of the small cover body to release fragrance and improve the air quality around the trash can.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer surface of the pedal body is uniformly provided with anti-slip protrusions to improve the stability and safety of the user when stepping on it, and to prevent accidental injuries caused by slipping.

[0015] Furthermore, the bin body, bin lid, pedal body, connecting rod body, connecting plate, and stop block are all made of durable and easy-to-clean materials to ensure the long-term use and hygiene performance of the trash can.

[0016] Furthermore, the closed end of the bucket lid is provided with a buffer pad. When the bucket lid is closed, the buffer pad makes a gentle collision with the contact surface of the bucket body, reducing noise and protecting the bucket lid and bucket body from damage.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer side of the bin is equipped with a sensor-activated lighting device. When a hand approaches the opening of the bin, the lighting device automatically turns on, providing sufficient illumination for the user to dispose of garbage in low-light environments.

[0018] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. This utility model enables the lid to open easily at a wide angle, ensuring that users can easily dispose of large or irregularly shaped trash without having to adjust the position or posture of the trash multiple times, greatly improving the convenience and accuracy of operation. Simultaneously, the trash can also has a hold function, keeping the lid open after the user releases the foot pedal, avoiding the inconvenience caused by the rapid closing of the lid in traditional trash cans, reducing user effort and the risk of trash scattering. Furthermore, the trash can also features an automatic lid-closing function after the foot pedal is pressed again, allowing users to simply press the foot pedal again after emptying the trash, automatically closing the lid without manual operation. This function not only further enhances ease of use but also maintains the cleanliness and hygiene of the trash can.

[0020] 2. By adding guide grooves and guide columns, the stability of the connecting rod during the lifting process is ensured, further improving the durability and service life of the trash can. Meanwhile, the dual-bin design not only facilitates waste sorting and improves resource utilization but also enhances environmental performance, aligning with modern green living concepts. Secondly, the addition of a small lid and air freshener effectively reduces odor emissions from the trash can, improving surrounding air quality and providing a more comfortable user environment. The addition of anti-slip protrusions enhances the safety of the pedal, preventing injuries from slips and other accidents. Furthermore, the use of durable and easy-to-clean materials ensures the hygienic performance and cleanliness of the trash can during long-term use. The addition of a cushioning pad reduces noise when the lid closes and protects the lid and body from damage. The inclusion of a sensor-activated lighting device greatly facilitates waste disposal in low-light conditions. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Example 1: This utility model provides a convenient foot-operated trash can, including a trash can body 100, which includes a can body 110 and a can lid 111. One end of the can lid 111 is rotatably connected to the can body 110 via a pivot, allowing the can lid 111 to open and close relative to the can body 110. The can body 110 is provided with a pedal mounting groove 112 and a connecting rod mounting groove 113. A rotatable pedal body 114 is installed in the pedal mounting groove 112, and the end of the pedal body 114 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod body 115. The connecting rod body 115 is cleverly placed in the connecting rod mounting groove 113, and its main function is to transmit the stepping force received by the pedal body 114.

[0036] The top of the connecting rod body 115 is equipped with a lifting part 116, which is designed to enable the opening and closing of the lid 111. Meanwhile, a connecting plate 119 is installed at the bottom of the lid 111, and a flipping part 120 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 119 in conjunction with the lifting part 116. When the lifting part 116 performs a lifting action, it pushes the connecting plate 119 to flip, thereby causing the lid 111 to flip.

[0037] The lifting section 116 has a through hole 117 and a top post 118 inside. These two design elements cooperate with the flipping section 120 to achieve an effective transmission connection. The flipping section 120 includes a first arc-shaped section 121 and a second arc-shaped section 122. The design of these two arc-shaped sections enables the lifting section 116 to smoothly realize the opening and closing operation of the lid 111 when interacting with the flipping section 120.

[0038] During use, when the lid 111 is closed, the top post 118 will be located below the first arc-shaped portion 121 (see attached diagram). Figure 5 When the user presses down on the pedal body 114, the top column 118 in the lifting part 116 moves upward through the transmission action of the connecting rod body 115, thereby pushing the connecting plate 119 to flip (see attached). Figure 6 This opens the bucket lid 111. At this time, the opening angle of the bucket lid 111 will be greater than 90°, and it will cooperate with the stop block 131 installed on the back of the bucket body 110 to ensure that the bucket lid 111 can always remain open.

[0039] When the user releases the pedal body 114, under the action of gravity, the connecting rod body 115 will drive the lifting part 116 to descend (see attached diagram). Figure 7 This causes the top post 118 to slide from the first arc-shaped part 121 into the second arc-shaped part 122. When the user steps down on the pedal body 114 again, the connecting rod body 115 will drive the top post 118 in the lifting part 116 to move upward again, and automatically close the bucket lid 111 through the flipping action of the flipping part 120.

[0040] Example 2:

[0041] Based on Example 1, several important optimizations and upgrades have been made to provide users with a better user experience and significantly improve the practicality and environmental performance of the trash can.

[0042] First, to further enhance the stability of the connecting rod body 115 during the lifting process, a guide groove 123 and a guide post 124 were added to the connecting rod mounting groove 113. This design ensures that the connecting rod body 115 can move smoothly along a predetermined trajectory during operation, thereby improving the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0043] Secondly, in response to the call for waste sorting and to improve resource utilization, the bin 110 is innovatively designed as a dual-bin structure comprising a first sub-bin 125 and a second sub-bin 126. This design allows users to easily sort and dispose of different types of waste, improving environmental performance and promoting resource recycling. Additionally, the bottom of the bin 110 is equipped with a mounting base 127, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the first sub-bin 125 and the second sub-bin 126 for subsequent maintenance and cleaning.

[0044] In addition, to improve air quality around the trash can and reduce odor emissions, a small cover 128 has been added to the lid 111. This small cover is detachably installed on the top of the lid and can cover the opening of the lid. At the same time, an air freshener box 129 is cleverly installed at the bottom of the small cover, which can continuously release a fresh fragrance to create a more comfortable environment for users.

[0045] In terms of safety, the pedal body 114 has been improved by uniformly setting anti-slip protrusions 130 on its outer surface. These protrusions can increase the friction when the user steps on it, improve stability and safety, and prevent accidents such as slipping.

[0046] In terms of material selection, key components such as the bin body 110, bin lid 111, pedal body 114, connecting rod body 115, connecting plate 119, and stop block 131 are all made of durable and easy-to-clean materials. These materials not only have good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, but also can easily resist the invasion of stains and bacteria, ensuring that the trash can can remain clean and hygienic for a long time.

[0047] In addition, to enhance user experience and the durability of the trash can, a cushioning pad is installed at the closing end of the lid 111. When the lid closes, the cushioning pad creates a gentle impact with the can body, effectively reducing noise and protecting the lid and can body from damage. Meanwhile, a motion-activated lighting device is added to the outside of the can body 110. When a hand approaches the opening of the can, the lighting device automatically turns on, providing great convenience for users disposing of trash in low-light conditions.
