[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention provides a technical solution: a multi-cavity plastic bucket, including a bucket body 1 having a material-containing chamber 3 inside, and a partition component 4 provided inside the bucket body 1, which divides the material-containing chamber 3 into multiple independent material-containing cavities 5. The partition component 4 includes:

[0028] The mounting rod 41 extends vertically upward from the center of the bottom surface of the material chamber 3, and its top end is flush with the top end of the material chamber 3.

[0029] Multiple partitions 43 are rotatably mounted on the mounting rod 41, and there is an included angle between two adjacent partitions 43.

[0030] Specifically, by rotating the partition 43, the size and shape of each material chamber 5 can be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby dividing the material chamber 3 into multiple independent material chambers 5, realizing the classified storage of different materials; this adjustable partition method greatly improves the flexibility and applicability of the plastic bucket. Users can freely adjust the size of the material chamber 5 according to the storage requirements of different materials, avoiding the waste of space caused by fixed partitions, and making more reasonable use of the space inside the bucket body 1 to meet diverse storage needs.

[0031] See Figure 2Each partition 43 is the same length as the mounting rod 41, its bottom surface is attached to the bottom surface of the material chamber 3, its side extending radially along the mounting rod 41 is attached to the inner wall of the material chamber 3, and its side away from the inner wall of the material chamber 3 is attached to the outer wall of the mounting rod 41.

[0032] Specifically, this design ensures that the partition 43 can completely seal each material chamber 5, preventing the materials in different material chambers 5 from mixing with each other; it guarantees the independence and sealing of each material chamber 5, effectively avoiding cross-contamination between different materials, and improving the safety and reliability of material storage. At the same time, the tightly fitted structure also enhances the stability of the partition component 4, making the plastic bucket more robust and durable during use.

[0033] See Figure 3 The mounting rod 41 is rotatably connected to bushings 42 in the same number as the partitions 43. Each bushing 42 is equidistantly distributed along the axis of the mounting rod 41, and each partition 43 is fixedly connected to its corresponding bushing 42.

[0034] Specifically, the bushing 42 serves as a connecting component between the partition 43 and the mounting rod 41, allowing the partition 43 to rotate freely around the mounting rod 41, thereby adjusting the size of the material receiving cavity 5. The bushing 42 facilitates the installation and rotation of the partition 43, ensuring the flexibility and stability of the partition 43's rotation. The equally spaced bushings 42 ensure that the partitions 43 do not interfere with each other during rotation, guaranteeing the normal operation of the partition assembly 4.

[0035] See Figure 5 The mounting rod 41 has a hollow groove 47 inside, and a vertically sliding rotating rod 44 is installed inside the hollow groove 47. A pressing block 46 that can slide radially is provided on the side wall of the mounting rod 41. One end of the pressing block 46 extends outward and abuts against the inner wall of the bushing 42. An abutting block 45 for pressing against the pressing block 46 is installed on the rotating rod 44.

[0036] Specifically, when the rotating rod 44 slides vertically, the abutting block 45 pushes the pressing block 46 to slide radially along the mounting rod 41, thereby causing the pressing block 46 to press against or release the inner wall of the bushing 42, thus fixing or unlocking the bushing 42, and thereby fixing or adjusting the position of the partition 43. This structure can easily fix the position of the partition 43, ensuring that the size and shape of the material storage cavity 5 remain stable during material storage and transportation and will not change due to external factors. At the same time, the position of the partition 43 can be adjusted at any time as needed, increasing the flexibility of the plastic bucket.

[0037] See Figure 5 The bottom end of the rotating rod 44 is provided with a threaded section, and the inner bottom wall of the hollow groove 47 is provided with a first threaded blind hole extending vertically downward. The threaded section of the rotating rod 44 is threadedly connected in the first threaded blind hole.

[0038] Specifically, the bottom end of the rotating rod 44 is provided with a threaded section, and the inner bottom wall of the hollow groove 47 is provided with a first threaded blind hole extending vertically downward. The threaded section of the rotating rod 44 is threadedly connected in the first threaded blind hole. By rotating the rotating rod 44, the rotating rod 44 moves vertically in the hollow groove 47 using the thread transmission principle, thereby driving the abutment block 45 to move and realizing the control of the clamping block 46. The threaded connection has a self-locking function, which can accurately control the vertical position of the rotating rod 44 and ensure that the clamping force of the clamping block 46 on the bushing 42 is stable and reliable. At the same time, the operation is simple and convenient. The user only needs to rotate the rotating rod 44 to fix or adjust the position of the partition 43.

[0039] See Figure 6 The vertical cross-section of the abutment block 45 is an inverted trapezoid, and the end of the abutment block 46 extending into the hollow groove 47 is provided with an inclined surface that matches the abutment block 45.

[0040] Specifically, when the rotating rod 44 moves the abutment block 45 downward, the inclined surface of the abutment block 45 pushes the inclined surface of the clamping block 46, causing the clamping block 46 to slide radially outward along the mounting rod 41, thereby pressing tightly against the inner wall of the bushing 42; conversely, when the rotating rod 44 moves the abutment block 45 upward, the clamping block 46 slides radially inward under its own elastic force or other external force, releasing the clamping against the bushing 42; this inclined surface fit structure can convert the vertical movement of the rotating rod 44 into the radial movement of the clamping block 46, realizing the effective transmission and conversion of force. The inverted trapezoidal abutment block 45 and the matching inclined surface design make the sliding of the clamping block 46 smoother, and can more reliably realize the clamping and releasing operation of the bushing 42.

[0041] See Figure 5 The bottom end of the mounting rod 41 is connected to a threaded rod 48, and a second threaded blind hole is provided at the center of the bottom surface of the material chamber 3 for the threaded rod 48 to be screwed in.

[0042] Specifically, by screwing the threaded rod 48 into the second threaded blind hole, the mounting rod 41 is fixedly connected to the barrel body 1. This threaded connection facilitates the installation and disassembly of the partition component 4. When the plastic barrel needs to be cleaned, repaired, or the partition component 4 needs to be replaced, the mounting rod 41 and the partition plate 43 can be removed from the barrel body 1 simply by unscrewing the threaded rod 48. The operation is simple and quick, improving the maintainability of the plastic barrel.

[0043] See Figure 1 The top of the barrel body 1 is covered with a barrel lid 2, which seals the top port of the material chamber 3.

[0044] Specifically, the lid 2 can prevent external dust and debris from entering the material chamber 3, and protect the material in the material chamber 5 from contamination.

[0045] This multi-chamber plastic bucket mainly consists of a bucket body 1, a bucket lid 2, and an internal partition assembly 4. The following is a detailed explanation of its working principle:

[0046] The mounting rod 41 is screwed into the second threaded blind hole at the center of the bottom surface of the material chamber 3 through the threaded rod 48 at the bottom end, so as to achieve a stable connection with the barrel body 1. Multiple partitions 43 are rotatably set on the mounting rod 41 through corresponding bushings 42, and each bushing 42 is equidistantly distributed along the axis of the mounting rod 41.

[0047] When it is necessary to adjust the size of each material cavity 5, rotate the partition 43. The partition 43 rotates freely around the mounting rod 41, and the included angle between two adjacent partitions 43 changes, thereby realizing the adjustment of the size and shape of the material cavity 5. The bottom surface of the partition 43 is in contact with the inner bottom surface of the material chamber 3, the side extending radially along the mounting rod 41 is in contact with the inner side wall of the material chamber 3, and the side away from the inner side wall is in contact with the outer wall of the mounting rod 41, ensuring that each material cavity 5 is independent of each other.

[0048] The rotating rod 44 in the hollow groove 47 inside the mounting rod 41 plays a key role. The threaded section at the bottom of the rotating rod 44 is threadedly connected to the first threaded blind hole in the bottom wall of the hollow groove 47. Rotating the rotating rod 44 causes it to move vertically, and the abutment block 45 on the rotating rod 44 moves with it. The vertical cross section of the abutment block 45 is an inverted trapezoid, which matches the inclined surface of the end of the clamping block 46 that extends into the hollow groove 47. When the rotating rod 44 drives the abutment block 45 to move downward, the inclined surface of the abutment block 45 pushes the clamping block 46 to slide radially outward along the mounting rod 41, so that the outwardly extending end of the clamping block 46 is tightly against the inner wall of the bushing 42, thereby fixing the position of the bushing 42 and the partition 43. Conversely, when the rotating rod 44 drives the abutment block 45 to move upward, the clamping block 46 slides radially inward, releasing the clamping of the bushing 42. At this time, the partition 43 can be rotated and adjusted again.

[0049] After adjusting the material chamber 5 and fixing the partition 43, put different materials into each material chamber 5 respectively, and finally cover it with the lid 2. The lid 2 seals the top port of the material chamber 3 to prevent external dust and debris from entering and protect the materials.
