Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of large trash can structure, and relates to a reinforced and crack-resistant large trash can structure. Background Technology
[0002] Large public trash cans are tools frequently used by sanitation workers to collect garbage. In public areas such as large communities, when the trash cans are full, property management staff need to regularly move the trash cans to the garbage storage area and move the empty trash cans back to the community trash can placement area.
[0003] Firstly, most large public trash cans currently have a movable lid, requiring one hand to open and the other to throw away trash. This is inconvenient and unhygienic. Secondly, due to their large capacity, they need to withstand significant weight when fully loaded. When sanitation workers drag the trash can using the handles, the can tilts, and the wheels at the bottom start rolling. The weight of the trash is concentrated on the wheels and the handles, making it highly susceptible to damage or even cracking under external forces during dumping or handling, resulting in a short lifespan.
