Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of trash can technology, and more specifically to a connectable trash can unit and trash can assembly. Background Technology

[0002] With social development and increased environmental awareness, waste sorting has gradually become a global environmental initiative. Traditional trash cans are mostly single-unit structures with limited functionality, making them unable to meet the increasingly complex needs of waste sorting. For example, in households and public places, recyclable waste, hazardous waste, and kitchen waste need to be sorted and disposed of, but traditional trash cans cannot flexibly adapt to different waste volumes and sorting requirements.

[0003] Furthermore, existing trash cans are difficult to adjust to meet the actual site requirements. Even those trash cans that are detachable are far from stable enough, easily posing safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome at least one deficiency of the prior art, this utility model provides a modular, connectable trash can unit and trash can assembly.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a modular trash can unit, comprising at least four parallel uprights, a door panel, a back panel, a first side panel, a second side panel, and a connector; the door panel, back panel, first side panel, and second side panel are respectively disposed between two adjacent uprights and are detachably connected to the adjacent uprights; the connector is disposed between two adjacent uprights, and the connector includes a first connecting piece and two parallel second connecting pieces for abutting against and detachably connecting to the uprights, the two ends of the first connecting piece are respectively connected to two connecting pieces, and the first connecting piece is perpendicular to the two second connecting pieces; wherein, the first connecting piece is flush with the end of the upright.

[0006] Optionally, the connector may further include a connecting lug that protrudes laterally from at least a portion of the first connecting piece.

[0007] Optionally, there are two connecting lugs, both located on the same side of the first connecting piece.

[0008] Optionally, the connecting lug is provided with a connecting hole for detachable connection with the mounting surface. The connecting hole is oblong in shape, and the extending direction of the oblong hole is parallel to the extending direction of the first connecting piece.

[0009] Optionally, the portion connecting the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece is provided with a first reinforcing rib, and the first connecting piece is provided with a second reinforcing rib along the extending direction of the first connecting piece. The first reinforcing rib is formed by an inward recess in at least a portion of the first connecting piece and at least the second connecting piece.

[0010] Optionally, the trash can unit also includes a top cover assembly and at least two parallel top rods, wherein the two top rods are respectively located between the tops of adjacent uprights, and the top cover assembly and the at least two top rods are detachably connected.

[0011] In summary, the trash can unit provided by this utility model can be used independently, and all components can be detachably connected. The ends of at least four uprights are used for mounting on the mounting surface. The door panel, back panel, first side panel, and second side panel—the four uprights—enclose a cavity for accommodating trash. To further improve the robustness of the assembled trash can unit, a connecting piece is added. The second connecting piece of the connecting plate abuts against the uprights. Since the first connecting piece is flush with the end of the upright, it abuts against the mounting surface. The first and second connecting pieces are perpendicular, thus the connecting piece serves a fixing function.

[0012] Optionally, the trash can unit may also have two different receiving cavities for holding trash. There are at least six uprights and at least four connectors, with the first connecting plates of the four connectors arranged in parallel.

[0013] Optionally, the trash can unit also includes a top cover assembly, which includes a mounting frame and at least two top covers, each of which is detachably connected to the mounting frame.

[0014] This utility model also provides a trash can assembly, including at least two detachably connected trash can units as described above and fasteners for connecting the different trash can units. Through modular design, the trash can assembly allows for flexible combination of different numbers and types of trash cans according to actual needs, meeting diverse waste sorting requirements.

[0015] Optionally, at least one pair of uprights of different trash can units are adjacent to each other, and the adjacent uprights of different trash can units are detachably connected by fasteners, of which there are multiple fasteners, one of which is located at the top of the upright and another of which is located above the connector.
