Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of trash can technology, and in particular to an easily assembled metal trash can. Background Technology
[0002] Flip-top trash cans can be divided into two types based on their material: plastic and metal. Metal trash cans are resistant to cracking, aging, and wear, and have a large capacity, so they are still used in many situations. In the manufacturing process of conventional metal trash cans, due to their high strength, the body is formed by rolling sheet metal into a structure of equal thickness at the top and bottom, which is then combined with the bottom. The assembled result is... Figure 4 As shown, the body and bottom of the bin are fixedly connected as one piece by edge pressing and folding. However, due to the uniform thickness of the body, when used in cold northern regions, ice formed from water accumulating at the bottom expands and becomes firmly embedded in the bin, causing considerable difficulty in emptying the bin. To address this, the applicant filed a utility model patent with publication number "CN217416905U" entitled "Easy-to-Defrost Metal Trash Can," as follows... Figure 3 As shown, by processing an ice-removing ramp at the bottom of the bin, it is less likely that ice will form at the bottom of the bin and completely expand onto the body of the bin, thus making it easier to detach the ice from the bottom when emptying the bin.
[0003] However, the following problems arise when this easy-to-defrost metal trash can is manufactured using conventional processes. First, the bottom sheet metal has the aforementioned defrosting ramp, and the back of the can body also has wheel grooves for mounting the axles. Therefore, there is a certain degree of deformation at the point where the bottom and body meet. Since the bottom is inserted into the bottom of the body during assembly, this process is often unsuccessful and requires rework, resulting in low overall production efficiency. Even when assembly is possible, the edge bonding is often imperfect, leading to quality defects. Second, noticeable gaps easily appear between the defrosting ramp and the can body. Figure 4 As shown, water can also freeze in this gap, and the ice formed there is integrated with the ice formed in other locations. Therefore, the ice formed at the bottom of the bucket is still stretched on the bucket body. When emptying the trash can, the entire ice block is still not easy to detach from the bottom of the bucket, and the effect of the de-icing ramp is greatly reduced.
[0004] Therefore, further improvements are needed to address the structural characteristics of this metal trash can and the issues it presents in manufacturing and use. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an easy-to-assemble metal trash can that facilitates smooth assembly of the body and bottom, reduces rework, improves connection quality, ensures tight assembly, and allows for easy detachment of ice from the bottom during use.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: an easily combinable metal trash can, including a body and a bottom fixedly installed at the bottom end of the body. An ice-removing ramp protruding into the body is integrally formed on the bottom. The ice-removing ramp includes a front side and a back side. A combination notch is provided on the body at the back side of the ramp. The combination notch is located within the area of the back side of the ramp. The body is welded to the back side of the ramp at the combination notch.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the edge of the combined notch is set to be of equal width with the upper edge of the back side of the slope.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the barrel body is fixedly connected to the barrel bottom outside the combined notch using an edge pressing and folding method.
[0009] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the easily combinable metal trash can includes a body and a bottom fixedly installed at the bottom end of the body. An ice-removing ramp protruding inwards from the bottom is integrally formed on the bottom, comprising a front and a back slope. A combination notch is provided on the bottom of the body at the back slope, within the area of the back slope. The body is welded to the back slope at the combination notch. This invention features a combination notch on the body, with an open ring connecting to the bottom outside the notch. When this open ring is combined with the bottom, the combination notch provides expansion and contraction adaptability, facilitating smooth assembly of the body and bottom, reducing rework, and ensuring complete contact with the bottom after assembly, thus improving connection quality. After assembly, welding at the combination notch ensures the body fits tightly against the back slope without gaps, resulting in a tight fit and facilitating the easy removal of ice from the bottom during use.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. In the following detailed description, only certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications can be made to the described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are illustrative in nature and not intended to limit the scope of the claims.
[0017] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an easily combinable metal trash can includes a body 1 and a bottom 2 fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the body 1. In conventional technology, the bottom edge of the body 1 and the bottom 2 are fixedly connected by edge pressing. An ice-removing ramp 3 protruding into the body 1 is integrally formed on the bottom 2. The ice-removing ramp 3 includes a front slope 31 and a back slope 32. It is known that the front slope 31 is a slope with a certain gradient, and the back slope 32 is shaped to fit the corresponding sidewall of the body 1, and is usually planar or nearly planar. The forming of the ice-removing ramp 3 and its shape after forming are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described further here.
[0018] In this embodiment, a combined notch 11 is provided on the barrel body 1 at the back slope 32, and the combined notch 11 is located within the area of the back slope 32. Therefore, only the combined notch 11 on the barrel body 1 is not connected to the barrel bottom 2 by edge pressing. Correspondingly, the barrel body 1 is fixedly connected to the barrel bottom 2 outside the combined notch 11 by edge pressing. Based on the arrangement of the combined notch 11, when the barrel bottom 2 is assembled to the bottom of the barrel body 1, the combined notch 11 provides expansion and contraction adaptability. More specifically, when the cross-section of the barrel bottom 2 is relatively large, the bottom of the barrel body 1 can be expanded, and the combined notch 11 is equivalent to expanding and adapting to it with a slightly larger opening; conversely, when the cross-section of the barrel bottom 2 is relatively small, during the subsequent edge pressing process, while ensuring a complete connection between the part outside the combined notch 11 and the barrel bottom 2, the excess part of the edge of the barrel body 1 can be pressed towards the combined notch 11, thus the combined notch 11 adapts to the contraction of the barrel body 1 by narrowing its opening. This facilitates the smooth assembly of the barrel body 1 and the barrel bottom 2, reducing rework, and ensures that the portion outside the assembly notch 11 on the barrel body 1 fully fits against the barrel bottom 2 after assembly, thus improving the connection quality.
[0019] The barrel body 1 is welded to the slope back 32 at the combined notch 11. No matter how the combined notch 11 adapts to the expansion and contraction during assembly, the barrel body 1 will not have a significant gap with the slope back 32 at the combined notch 11. After welding, the barrel body 1 is tightly attached to the slope back 32, and the assembly is tight, which facilitates the smooth detachment of the ice from the bottom 2 of the barrel during use.
[0020] Preferably, the edge of the combined notch 11 is set at the same width as the upper edge of the slope back surface 32, that is, the barrel body 1 located at the combined notch 11 can form an equal-width overlap with the slope back surface 32, so as to further ensure that no gap is generated between the two while forming a welded connection and welded seal.
[0021] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
