DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The following is a specific embodiment of the pedal garbage can and further describes the technical solution of the pedal garbage can in combination with the drawings, but the pedal garbage can is not limited to these embodiments.
[0025] A pedal garbage can, such as Figure 1As shown, this utility model is a large trash can, mainly used in outdoor garbage stations. It includes a can body 1, a first cover 2, a second cover 3, and a foot-operated drive mechanism. The first cover 2 and the second cover 3 are both hinged to the top of the can body 1 and cooperate to seal the opening at the top of the can body 1. The foot-operated drive mechanism is connected to the first cover 2 and can control the swing of the first cover 2 to open or close the can body 1. When people need to dispose of garbage in this utility model, they only need to open the first cover 2 using the foot-operated drive mechanism; when they need to dump the garbage into a garbage truck, both the first cover 2 and the second cover 3 can be opened, making it flexible and convenient to use.
[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the barrel 1 is integrally injection molded and is roughly square with an open top. The first cover 2 and the second cover 3 are respectively hinged to opposite sides of the top of the barrel 1. The foot drive mechanism includes a pedal 41 and a push rod 42. The pedal 41 is hinged to the bottom of the barrel 1, and the two ends of the push rod 42 are respectively hinged to the pedal 41 and the first cover 2, so that stepping on the pedal 41 drives the push rod 42 to move upward and open the first cover 2. In this embodiment, the pedal 41 is roughly U-shaped, with the middle part of the pedal 41 being the foot pedal and located on the bottom of the barrel 1 near the second cover 3. There are two push rods 42, which are respectively located on both sides of the first cover 2 and are respectively hinged to the two ends of the pedal 41, making the pedal 41 drive the first cover 2 more smoothly.
[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, to prevent gaps between the first cover 2 and the second cover 3 from causing mosquito and fly breeding, the edge of the second cover 3 facing the first cover 2 has an upward-facing slot 31 along its length. The edge of the first cover 2 facing the second cover 3 has an outward-protruding latching part 21. The size of the latching part 21 matches the slot 31, allowing the latching part 21 to engage from above the slot 31 after the first cover 2 is closed, thus improving the sealing effect on the bin 1. In this embodiment, the first cover 2 and the second cover 3 are approximately the same length. The length of the first cover 2 along the direction from the first cover 2 to the second cover 3 is greater than the length of the second cover 3 along the direction from the first cover 2 to the second cover 3, meaning the width ratio is approximately 2:1. This results in a larger opening area for the first cover 2, facilitating waste disposal.
[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, the inner side of the first cover 2 is provided with several spaced-apart strip grooves 22. The strip grooves 22 are all arranged in the same direction, and reinforcing ribs 53 are formed between adjacent strip grooves 22, which reduces the weight of the first cover 2 while increasing its structural strength. In this embodiment, the second cover 3 also adopts a similar structure.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, both sides of the unhinged first cover 2 and second cover 3 of the bin 1 are provided with outwardly protruding connecting portions 51. The connecting portions 51 are elongated rods and are adjacent to the hinge points of the bin 1 and second cover 3, facilitating the automatic dumping mechanism of the garbage truck to cooperate with the connecting portions 51 and grasp and lift the bin 1. Furthermore, the lower side of each connecting portion 51 is provided with a downwardly extending positioning plate 52. The positioning plate 52 facilitates cooperation with the automatic dumping mechanism of the garbage truck, making it easier to dump the bin 1. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the upper side of the connecting portion 51 and the side facing the first cover 2 are provided with reinforcing ribs 23 fixedly connected to the bin 1 to improve the connection strength and operational reliability between the connecting portion 51 and the bin 1.
[0030] Furthermore, handles 6 are provided on both sides of the barrel 1, and pulleys are provided at the bottom of the barrel 1 for easy handling. A drain outlet is also provided at the bottom of the barrel 1 for easy sewage discharge and cleaning.
