Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of trash can technology, specifically a foldable, coaxial, bidirectional rotating and opening trash can. Background Technology
[0002] A trash can, also known as a waste bin or garbage can, is a container for holding garbage. Most are made of metal or plastic. A plastic bag is placed inside when in use, and the bag is tied up and disposed of when full. Trash cans are containers for "filth and grime" in people's lives and also reflect a social culture. Most trash cans have lids to prevent odors from spreading, and some can be opened with a foot pedal. In homes, trash cans are mostly placed in the kitchen for food waste. Some families have one in each of the main rooms, and some playgrounds even have trash cans specially designed in the shape of cute characters.
[0003] There are various types of trash cans. Among them, the lids of electric trash cans are usually driven by a motor, which rotates and opens and closes automatically. However, the lids have a certain radius of rotation, and corresponding space needs to be reserved to prevent collisions when the lids rotate. However, when the power is off, electric trash cans need to be opened manually by workers. When the lids are flipped, the internal connecting structures of electric trash cans are easily damaged. Moreover, existing trash cans cannot be folded and stored, so transportation equipment cannot carry multiple trash cans. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foldable, coaxial, bidirectional rotating and opening trash can to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a foldable coaxial bidirectional rotating and opening trash can, including a top cover: an opening and closing structure is provided at one end inside the top cover, a first side plate and a second side plate are respectively installed on both sides of the bottom of the top cover, a movable door plate is rotatably installed at the middle position of one side of the first side plate, support plates are installed at both ends of the bottom of the top cover, and a bottom plate is rotatably installed at the bottom of the inner side of the second side plate, and the first side plate, the second side plate and the support plate are rotatably connected.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, since the first side plate, the second side plate, and the two support plates are rotatably connected, if the user needs to fold the trash can for storage, the user only needs to flip up the bottom plate to fold the first side plate, the second side plate, and the two support plates, which facilitates the transportation of the trash can. When unfolding the trash can, the user only needs to pull the first side plate and the second side plate to unfold the folded trash can. Then, by lowering the bottom plate, the first side plate, the second side plate, and the two support plates are shaped. Furthermore, the top cover further improves the stability of the first side plate, the second side plate, and the two support plates, preventing the trash can from deforming during use.
[0007] Preferably, the opening and closing structure on the top cover includes a pressing plate and a connecting rod. Toothed plates are installed on both sides of the pressing plate, and an elastic element is installed on the top of the pressing plate. A connecting rod is rotatably installed on the top of the inner side of the support plate. A first arc-shaped tooth and a second arc-shaped tooth are rotatably installed on the outer surface of the connecting rod. An arc-shaped top plate is installed at one end of each of the first arc-shaped tooth and the second arc-shaped tooth.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the user can press down the pressing plate, causing the toothed plate to descend, which in turn causes the first and second arc-shaped teeth to rotate on the connecting rod, allowing the two arc-shaped top plates to rotate to both sides. When the user releases the pressure, the elastic element can cause the pressing plate to rise, allowing the two arc-shaped top plates to rotate towards the center position. If the user installs the electric cylinder on the support plate and connects the output end to the pressing plate, the pressing plate can be raised and lowered when the electric cylinder is activated, so that the trash can can be operated manually or electrically.
[0009] Preferably, a support block is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the support plate, and the bottom of the base plate overlaps with the support block. Both the first side plate and the second side plate are U-shaped.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the base plate is lowered, it can be supported and limited by the blocks on the support plate. When the base plate is placed horizontally, the bottom of the first side plate, the second side plate and the two support plates can be supported by the base plate. The first side plate and the second side plate are U-shaped, so that the blocks will not affect the folding when the trash can is folded.
[0011] Preferably, the top of the outer sides of the first side plate, the second side plate, and the support plate are all provided with a locking device, and the bottom of the inner side of the top cover is provided with a locking groove. The first side plate, the second side plate, and the support plate are connected to the top cover through the locking device and the locking groove.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the tops of the first side plate, the second side plate, and the two support plates can be supported and fixed by the top cover, thereby improving the stability of the trash can in its unfolded state.
[0013] Preferably, the top of one end of the support plate is provided with a sliding groove and a connecting hole, the support plate is slidably connected to the pressing plate through the sliding groove, and the support plate is rotatably connected to the connecting rod through the connecting hole.
[0014] Preferably, the first arc-shaped tooth meshes with the toothed plate on one side of the pressing plate, and the second arc-shaped tooth meshes with the toothed plate on the other side of the pressing plate.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the toothed plate can rise and fall accordingly during the lifting and lowering of the pressing plate, thereby driving the first arc-shaped tooth and the second arc-shaped tooth to rotate on the connecting rod.
[0016] Preferably, both ends of the top of the arc-shaped top plate are provided with arc-shaped grooves, the arc-shaped top plate is slidably connected to the top cover through the arc-shaped grooves, the top of the top cover is provided with an arc-shaped opening, the other end of the arc-shaped top plate is rotatably connected to the top cover, and the top of the elastic element is connected to the top cover.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] 1. This foldable coaxial bidirectional rotating and opening trash can uses a toothed plate and a first arc-shaped tooth and a second arc-shaped tooth to form an opening and closing structure. In the event of a power outage, the user can press the pressing plate between the two toothed plates to lower the two toothed plates, thereby causing the first arc-shaped tooth and the second arc-shaped tooth to rotate on the connecting rod, so that the two arc-shaped top plates move in opposite directions. This allows the electric trash can to be used even when the power is off. The opening and closing structure is simple and easy to maintain.
[0019] 2. This foldable coaxial bidirectional rotating and opening trash can has a body composed of a first side plate, a second side plate, a support plate, and a bottom plate, all connected by hinges. This allows the trash can to be folded and stored, and enables transport equipment to move multiple trash cans. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides an embodiment of a foldable, coaxial, bidirectional rotating and opening trash can, comprising a top cover 1: an opening and closing structure is provided at one end of the inside of the top cover 1; a first side plate 2 and a second side plate 3 are respectively installed on both sides of the bottom of the top cover 1; a movable door plate 4 is rotatably installed at the middle position of one side of the first side plate 2; support plates 5 are installed at both ends of the bottom of the top cover 1; a bottom plate 6 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the inner side of the second side plate 3; the first side plate 2, the second side plate 3, and the support plates 5 are rotatably connected. If the user needs to fold and store the trash can, the user only needs to flip up the bottom plate 6 to fold the first side plate 2, the second side plate 3 and the two support plates 5, which facilitates the transportation of the trash can. When unfolding the trash can, the user only needs to pull the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3 to unfold the folded trash can. Then, by lowering the bottom plate 6, the first side plate 2, the second side plate 3 and the two support plates 5 are shaped. Furthermore, the top cover 1 further improves the stability of the first side plate 2, the second side plate 3 and the two support plates 5, and prevents the trash can from deforming during use.
[0029] In this embodiment, the opening and closing structure on the top cover 1 includes a pressing plate 7 and a connecting rod 9. Toothed plates 8 are installed on both sides of the pressing plate 7, and an elastic element 12 is installed on the top of the pressing plate 7. The connecting rod 9 is rotatably installed on the top of the inner side of the support plate 5. A first arc-shaped tooth 10 and a second arc-shaped tooth 11 are rotatably installed on the outer surface of the connecting rod 9. An arc-shaped top plate 13 is installed at one end of each of the first arc-shaped tooth 10 and the second arc-shaped tooth 11. When the user presses down the pressing plate 7, the toothed plates 8 descend, causing the first arc-shaped tooth 10 and the second arc-shaped tooth 11 to rotate on the connecting rod 9, allowing the two arc-shaped top plates 13 to rotate to both sides. When the user releases the pressure, the elastic element 12 causes the pressing plate 7 to rise, allowing the two arc-shaped top plates 13 to rotate towards the center. If the user installs an electric cylinder on the support plate 5 and connects its output end to the pressing plate 7, the pressing plate 7 can be raised and lowered when the electric cylinder is activated, allowing the trash can to be operated manually or electrically.
[0030] In this embodiment, a support block is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the support plate 5. The bottom of the base plate 6 overlaps with the support block. The first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3 are both U-shaped. When the base plate 6 is lowered, it can be supported and limited by the support block on the support plate 5. When the base plate 6 is placed horizontally, the bottom of the first side plate 2, the second side plate 3 and the two support plates 5 can be supported by the base plate 6. The first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3 are U-shaped, so that the support block will not affect the folding when the trash can is folded.
[0031] In this embodiment, the top of the outer side of the first side plate 2, the second side plate 3, and the support plate 5 are all provided with a locking device, and the bottom of the inner side of the top cover 1 is provided with a locking groove. The first side plate 2, the second side plate 3, and the support plate 5 are connected to the top cover 1 through the locking device and the locking groove. The top of the first side plate 2, the second side plate 3, and the two support plates 5 can be supported and fixed by the top cover 1, thereby improving the stability of the trash can in the unfolded state.
[0032] In this embodiment, a groove and a connecting hole are provided at the top of one end of the support plate 5. The support plate 5 is slidably connected to the pressing plate 7 through the groove, and the support plate 5 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 9 through the connecting hole.
[0033] In this embodiment, the first arc-shaped tooth 10 meshes with the toothed plate 8 on one side of the pressing plate 7, and the second arc-shaped tooth 11 meshes with the toothed plate 8 on the other side of the pressing plate 7. During the lifting and lowering of the pressing plate 7, the toothed plate 8 can be lifted and lowered accordingly, thereby driving the first arc-shaped tooth 10 and the second arc-shaped tooth 11 to rotate on the connecting rod 9.
[0034] In this embodiment, both ends of the top of the arc-shaped top plate 13 are provided with arc-shaped grooves. The arc-shaped top plate 13 is slidably connected to the top cover 1 through the arc-shaped grooves. The top of the top cover 1 is provided with an arc-shaped opening. The other end of the arc-shaped top plate 13 is rotatably connected to the top cover 1. The top of the elastic member 12 is connected to the top cover 1.
[0035] Working principle: Since the first side plate 2, the second side plate 3, and the two support plates 5 are rotatably connected, if the user needs to fold the trash can for storage, the user only needs to flip up the bottom plate 6 to fold the first side plate 2, the second side plate 3, and the two support plates 5, facilitating the transportation of the trash can. When unfolding the trash can, the user only needs to pull the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3 to unfold the folded trash can. Then, by lowering the bottom plate 6, the first side plate 2, the second side plate 3, and the two support plates 5 are fixed in shape. Furthermore, the top cover 1 further enhances the stability of the first side plate 2, the second side plate 3, and the two support plates 5, preventing... In the event of deformation during use, the user presses down the pressing plate 7, causing the toothed plate 8 to descend. This causes the first arc-shaped tooth 10 and the second arc-shaped tooth 11 to rotate on the connecting rod 9, allowing the two arc-shaped top plates 13 to rotate to the sides. When the user releases pressure, the elastic element 12 causes the pressing plate 7 to rise, allowing the two arc-shaped top plates 13 to rotate towards the center. If the user installs an electric cylinder on the support plate 5 and connects the output end to the pressing plate 7, the pressing plate 7 can be raised and lowered when the electric cylinder is activated, allowing the trash can to be operated manually or electrically.
