Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a household garbage container, in particular to a single-barrel electronic garbage can with barrel cover rear end inwardly down. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an indispensable necessity in human life, garbage cans develop in the direction of intelligence with the development of society, and the use range of electronic induction garbage cans is gradually expanding. The existing electronic garbage can includes an upper barrel body and a lower barrel body, the lower barrel body is used for containing the thrown garbage, and the upper barrel body includes a ring-shaped cover with a certain height, the ring-shaped cover is provided with a ring-shaped inner cavity, and electronic induction circuits, barrel cover transmission mechanisms and other electronic and mechanical components are installed in the ring-shaped inner cavity. The upper barrel body is installed at the barrel opening of the lower barrel body, and when a conventional single-barrel cover is used, the hinge turning point of the barrel cover is one side of the barrel cover and one side of the upper surface of the ring-shaped cover. As a result, the height of the electronic garbage can with the upper barrel body and the lower barrel body is relatively high, and the single-barrel cover is vertically arranged on the upper surface of the upper barrel body in the open state, which further increases the height of the electronic garbage can, so that the electronic garbage can is difficult to adapt to space-limited occasions, such as being placed in a cabinet or under a table, causing inconvenience in use. Moreover, in the use process of the single-barrel cover with the above structure, the barrel cover is opened and closed, and the rotation radius of the barrel cover based on the side of the upper surface of the ring-shaped cover as the shaft is relatively large, so that the front end of the barrel cover is easy to touch the hand or the garbage held by the hand, affecting the user's use experience.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems in the prior art, a barrel cover double-opening garbage can is proposed, that is, the barrel cover is divided into front and rear two pieces, and the two pieces of barrel cover are opened forward and backward to reduce the height of the barrel cover. However, the barrel cover opened forward increases the height of the throwing opening, resulting in inconvenience in use. Moreover, the front barrel cover on the throwing side is easy to be attached and contaminated by the thrown garbage, which has a hidden danger of hygiene. In addition, the double-opening cover structure needs a connecting rod linkage transmission mechanism, so that the structure is complex, the cost is high, and the ring-shaped cover needs to increase the inner cavity space to accommodate the double-opening cover transmission mechanism, resulting in that the volume is large and the weight is increased. SUMMARY

[0004] The utility model aims at providing a single-barrel electronic garbage can with barrel cover rear end inwardly down, which is convenient to use, simple in structure, low in cost and improves the use experience.

[0005] The utility model aims at providing a single-barrel electronic garbage can with barrel cover rear end inwardly down, which is convenient to use, simple in structure, low in cost and improves the use experience.

[0006] A single-lid electronic waste bin with a rear end of the lid turned inward and downward, comprising an upper barrel body and a lower barrel body, the lower barrel body being used for containing the thrown waste, the upper barrel body comprising a single-lid barrel lid, a ring-shaped cover, and a touch control driving circuit and a barrel lid opening and closing transmission mechanism, the touch control driving circuit and the barrel lid opening and closing transmission mechanism being installed in the ring-shaped cover and the ring-shaped inner cavity thereof, the barrel lid being shaped to be adapted to the inner ring of the ring-shaped cover, and the upper barrel body being installed and placed at the barrel opening of the lower barrel body, the structural key points being that an axle hole is arranged on each of the left and right sides of the inner ring of the ring-shaped cover, the two axle holes are coaxial, a connecting plate perpendicular to the surface of the barrel lid is arranged on each of the left and right sides of the rear part of the barrel lid corresponding to the two axle holes, each connecting plate is provided with a rotating shaft, the two rotating shafts are respectively inserted into the corresponding axle holes, at least one rotating shaft extends into the inner cavity of the ring-shaped cover and is connected with the barrel lid opening and closing transmission mechanism, the distance from the axle hole to the upper surface of the ring-shaped cover is less than or equal to the distance from the axle hole to the rear side wall of the inner ring of the ring-shaped cover, when the barrel lid is opened, the rear end of the barrel lid is turned inward and downward to the inner ring space of the ring-shaped cover, and finally located in the space surrounded by the inner ring of the ring-shaped cover, and when the barrel lid is closed, the side edge of the barrel lid is in a smooth transition joint state with the upper surface of the ring-shaped cover.

[0007] Therefore, when the barrel lid is opened, the rear end of the barrel lid is turned inward and downward, so that after the barrel lid is completely opened, the barrel lid is in a vertical state and is located at a rear position on the inner side of the inner ring of the ring-shaped cover, at this time, the rear end of the barrel lid sinks in the inner ring of the ring-shaped cover, and the front end of the barrel lid is higher than the upper surface of the ring-shaped cover. In this way, on the one hand, the height of the ring-shaped cover of the upper barrel body is effectively utilized to accommodate part of the barrel lid, the overall height of the barrel lid after being opened is reduced, the space above the top of the garbage bin is reduced, and the applicability of the space-limited occasions is expanded; and on the other hand, under the limitation that the distance from the axle hole to the upper surface of the ring-shaped cover is less than or equal to the distance from the axle hole to the rear side wall of the inner ring of the ring-shaped cover, the barrel lid can be maximally in a vertical state when being opened, so that even if the rear end of the barrel lid sinks in the ring-shaped cover and occupies part of the waste throwing area, the waste throwing opening can still be maximized.

[0008] In addition, the barrel lid is divided into front and rear parts by the rotating shaft as a fulcrum, and the rotating radius of the front end of the barrel lid is also reduced, so that the barrel lid is prevented from being touched by hands or hands holding waste in use, and the user experience is improved. Finally, compared with a double-lid structure, the single-lid inward turning structure does not affect the inconvenience in use due to the front-lid barrel lid, and only one turning fulcrum is needed, so that the original single-lid opening and closing transmission mechanism can be used only by changing the position, the structure is simple, the cost is low, and the ring-shaped cover and the accommodating space thereof do not need to be changed. In addition, the utility model has the following unexpected technical effects: the center of gravity of the barrel lid after being opened is lower than that of a traditional flip-lid garbage bin, the power consumption when the barrel lid is opened can be reduced for an electronic flip-lid garbage bin opened by a battery, and the service life of the battery is prolonged.

[0009] The utility model can be further specifically as follows:

[0010] The distance from the shaft hole to the rear side wall of the inner ring of the ring-shaped cover is less than or equal to the distance from the shaft hole to the bottom of the inner ring of the ring-shaped cover.

[0011] After the barrel cover is opened, the rear end of the barrel cover is sunken inside the inner ring of the ring-shaped cover, and the shaft hole is positioned to ensure that the rear end of the barrel cover hidden in the ring-shaped cover does not exceed the bottom of the ring-shaped cover, thereby ensuring that the rear end of the barrel cover does not easily touch the garbage in the barrel, and keeping the barrel cover clean.

[0012] The rear side of the barrel cover is provided with a downwardly bent step, and the upper surface of the ring-shaped cover extends inwardly into a convex edge on the rear side wall of the inner ring, and the step is just below the convex edge when the barrel cover is closed.

[0013] The step is either a beveled step or a right-angled step.

[0014] The step is designed to be sunken and slightly lower than the upper surface of the barrel cover, and is hidden below the upper surface of the ring-shaped cover. In the existing barrel cover design, in order to make the garbage can more beautiful in appearance, the shaft of the barrel cover is often arranged at a lower position of the barrel cover, which requires a larger gap space for the rear end of the barrel cover to meet the flipping movement of the barrel cover when opening and closing, resulting in a relatively loose rear end of the barrel cover. However, the shaft position of the present application is arranged at a middle and rear position of the barrel cover, and the downwardly designed step can be hidden below the convex edge of the upper surface of the ring-shaped cover after the barrel cover is closed, thereby blocking the gap between the rear end of the barrel cover and the ring-shaped cover, and enhancing the sealing performance of the garbage can.

[0015] In addition, after the barrel cover is opened, the rear end of the barrel cover is sunken inside the inner ring of the ring-shaped cover and is in an upright state, and therefore a beveled step structure is preferably adopted, which can make the garbage slide down along the bevel into the garbage can, so that the barrel cover can be kept relatively clean.

[0016] The present application can be further embodied as follows:

[0017] The sensor in the touch control driving circuit is a reflective infrared sensor. When the reflective infrared sensor is triggered, a hand or garbage is placed above the reflective infrared sensor, and the reflective infrared sensor is triggered after receiving the reflected signal, and the touch control driving circuit controls the barrel cover to open.

[0018] The sensor in the touch control driving circuit is a vibration sensor. When the vibration sensor is triggered, the garbage can is tapped with a hand or kicked with a foot to make the garbage can vibrate slightly, so that the vibration sensor in the garbage can is triggered, and the touch control driving circuit controls the barrel cover to open.

[0019] The sensor in the touch control driving circuit is a touch sensor. When the touch sensor is triggered, a hand touches a touch switch position arranged on the garbage can, and the touch sensor is triggered, and the control driving circuit is triggered to control the can cover to be opened.

[0020] Of course, the trigger control driving circuit can be controlled by using the single sensor mentioned above, or two or more modes can be combined for control.

[0021] In summary, the utility model provides a single can cover electronic garbage can of the can cover rear end inwardly down turns, simple structure, low cost, novel of single can cover, reasonable in design, utilize the height space of upper barrel body, the mode of part of can cover is hidden in the annular casing of upper barrel body, can reduce the rotation radius of can cover opening, solve the problem that garbage can is too high after the can cover is opened and the front end of the can cover is not easy to touch the hand or garbage during the process of opening and closing, at the same time, the gravity center after the can cover is opened is lower than that of the traditional structure of the flip cover garbage can, for the electronic flip cover garbage can of battery opening, can reduce the power consumption when opening, prolong the service life of battery. Therefore, it has stronger practical application value, and is favorable for market promotion of products. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

The rotating shaft 121 on the left and right sides of the barrel cover 12 is located at the rear side of the barrel cover 12, and one of the rotating shafts 121 passes through the shaft hole 111 of the inner ring of the annular cover 11 and is in transmission connection with the barrel cover opening and closing transmission mechanism 14 fixed in the annular cover 11, and serves as a driving shaft to drive the barrel cover 12 to flip to open and close the barrel cover; and the other rotating shaft 121 of the barrel cover 12 is only hinged with the shaft hole 111 of the inner ring of the annular cover 11 and serves as a driven shaft. In the embodiment, the trigger control driving circuit 13 is selected to be a reflective infrared sensor 131, and the barrel cover opening and closing transmission mechanism 14 is selected to be a gear set containing a motor to drive the barrel cover 12 to rotate, when a hand or garbage or other objects is placed above the reflective infrared sensor 131, the reflective infrared sensor 131 is triggered after receiving the reflected signal, and the control driving circuit 13 controls the opening and closing of the barrel cover 12 through the barrel cover opening and closing transmission mechanism 14. Thus, it is ensured that the barrel cover 12 does not occupy the space left and right in front of the garbage can, and the garbage can can be placed next to the wall.

[0036] In the embodiment, the annular cover 11 is composed of an upper shell 114 and a lower shell 115, the shaft hole 111 is arranged on the left and right sides of the inner ring of the annular cover 11 and is symmetrically arranged at the relatively middle and rear position. As shown in the figure, Figure 9 As shown, the distance A from the shaft hole 111 to the upper surface of the barrel cover 12 is slightly smaller than the distance B from the shaft hole 111 to the rear side wall 112 of the inner ring of the annular cover 11, and the design makes the barrel cover 12 be in a vertical standing state after being opened, so that the feeding port is maximized; and the distance B from the shaft hole 111 to the rear side wall of the inner ring of the annular cover 11 is slightly smaller than the distance C from the shaft hole 111 to the inner ring bottom 113 of the annular cover 11, and after the barrel cover 12 is opened, the rear end 123 of the barrel cover sinks in the inner ring of the annular cover 11, the position of the shaft hole 111 is designed to ensure that the rear end 123 of the barrel cover hidden in the annular cover 11 does not exceed the inner ring bottom 113 of the annular cover 11, so that the rear end 123 of the barrel cover does not touch the garbage in the barrel, and the barrel cover 12 remains clean.

[0037] In the present embodiment, when the bucket cover 12 is opened, the rear end 123 of the bucket cover 12 is turned inwards and downwards, and after the bucket cover 12 is fully opened, the bucket cover 12 is vertically erected, the pouring opening is maximized, the whole bucket cover 12 is located at the rear position inside the inner ring of the ring-shaped cover 11, the rear end 123 of the bucket cover 12 is sunken inside the inner ring of the ring-shaped cover 11, and the front end 122 of the bucket cover 12 is higher than the upper surface of the ring-shaped cover 11. In this way, the height of the ring-shaped cover 11 is fully utilized, the rotating radius required for opening the bucket cover 12 is reduced, and the space above the top of the garbage can occupied by the bucket cover 12 after being opened is reduced. The front end 122 of the bucket cover 12 is not easy to touch the hand when the bucket cover 12 is opened or closed. Meanwhile, the center of gravity of the bucket cover 12 after being opened is lower than that of the conventional structure, which can reduce the power consumption when the electronic bucket cover is opened by the battery and prolong the service life of the battery. Since the whole bucket cover 12 is located inside the inner ring of the ring-shaped cover 11, the bucket cover 12 does not occupy the space in front of, behind, left and right of the garbage can in both closed and opened states, the appearance of the whole garbage can is more coordinated and beautiful, and a good experience is brought to the user.

[0038] In the present embodiment, as shown in Figures 7-10 The rotating shaft 121 of the bucket cover 12 is arranged at the position of the connecting plate 124 below the bucket cover 12, so that the rear end of the bucket cover 12 is not affected by the original hinge structure. In order to make the appearance of the garbage can more beautiful, the upper surface of the ring-shaped cover is extended inwards along the rear side wall of the inner ring to form a convex edge, and a downward step 1231 is arranged at the rear end 123 of the bucket cover 12, which is slightly lower than the upper surface of the bucket cover 12. The downward step 1231 is hidden under the convex edge of the upper surface of the ring-shaped cover 11 after the bucket cover 12 is closed, which just covers the gap between the rear end 123 of the bucket cover 12 and the ring-shaped cover 11, and strengthens the sealing performance of the garbage can. After the bucket cover 12 is opened, the rear end 123 of the bucket cover 12 is sunken inside the inner ring of the ring-shaped cover 11 and vertically erected. If a common right-angle transition is used for the downward step 1231, garbage is easy to be hung at the step, which is easy to breed bacteria. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the connection between the downward step 1231 and the rear end 123 of the bucket cover 12 is connected by a bevel step, so that the garbage can slide down the bevel to the garbage can more easily, and the bucket cover 12 can be kept relatively clean.
