For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of these terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0048] The present application provides a foot-operated garbage can, as shown in Figure 1 comprising a top cover 100, a door body 200, a box body 300 and a linkage assembly 400.

[0049] As shown in Figure 2 , the box body 300 comprises a first side plate assembly 310, a second side plate assembly 320 and a back plate 330. Specifically, the first side plate assembly 310 and the second side plate assembly 320 are opposite, and the back plate 330 is connected between the first side plate assembly 310 and the second side assembly. The top cover 100 is hinged at the top of the box body 300, and the door body 200 is hinged at the first side plate assembly 310 or the second side plate assembly 320.

[0050] The first side plate assembly 310 and the second side plate are each composed of a plurality of rod bodies and plate bodies, and are adjacent to the door body 200.

[0051] The linkage assembly 400 is located in the box body 300. It is emphasized that "located in the box body 300" here can be not completely located in the box body 300, and some components can be slightly exposed outside the box body 300.

[0052] The linkage assembly 400 includes a first linkage 410 and a second linkage 420. One end of the first linkage 410 is hinged to the top cover 100, and the other end is hinged to the second linkage 420. A limiting groove 310a is formed on the top of the first side plate assembly 310, and the limiting groove 310a is located on the lower side of the top cover 100. Specifically, the limiting groove 310a is located inside the housing 300. The first linkage 410 is movably disposed within the limiting groove 310a. The middle part of the second linkage 420 is hinged to the first side plate assembly 310, and a foot pedal 500 is fixedly connected to the end of the second linkage 420 away from the first linkage 410. Specifically, the foot pedal 500 is located outside the housing 300.

[0053] As a specific solution, the space inside the container 300 of this application is used to place a detachable trash can. When the user steps on the foot pedal 500, the top cover 100 opens, allowing the user to put trash into the detachable trash can.

[0054] Preferably, the detachable trash can body can be equipped with a trash can lid, which is connected to the top cover 100 of the foot-operated trash can. For example, the trash can lid and the top cover 100 of the foot-operated trash can are connected by a flexible rope. When the user steps on the foot pedal 500, the lid of the detachable trash can opens. Without this lid, the detachable trash can would be difficult to close when not in use, resulting in a stronger odor from the trash inside.

[0055] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, with the surface where the door body 200 is located as the orthographic projection surface, the orthographic projection of the second link 420 is located within the orthographic projection of the first side panel assembly 310, so that the link assembly is also basically located within the orthographic projection of the first side panel assembly 310 (especially when the top cover is closed).

[0056] It is worth noting that the "side where the door 200 is located" here refers to the side of the door 200 facing outwards from the bin 300, that is, the side of the trash can that users often face when using it.

[0057] In this way, the linkage assembly 400 is basically restricted and shielded by the first side plate assembly 310, and will not interfere with the space inside the container 300 where the removable trash can is placed. The movement trajectory of the linkage assembly 400 can be kept within the range of the first side plate assembly 310 as much as possible. When the user opens the cover and door 200 from the front, the linkage assembly 400 will basically not be seen, which is aesthetically pleasing.

[0058] From a manufacturing perspective, the connecting rod assembly 400 and the first side plate assembly 3105 are highly integrated, facilitating assembly.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, the first side plate assembly 310 comprises a first top rod 311, a first plate body 313 and two first support rods 312, the upper ends of the two first support rods 312 being connected by the first top rod 311, and the first plate body 313 being fixed between the two first support rods 312.

[0060] More specifically, as shown, in the thickness direction of the first plate body 313, the first top rod 311 and the two first support rods 312 all protrude towards the inside of the cabinet 300 relative to the first plate body 313. Figure 3 Figure 1 , the first top rod and the two first support rods are flush with the first plate body 313 on the outside of the cabinet 300.

[0061] In order to realize fast production, as shown in Figure 2 , the second side plate assembly 320 has a structure similar to the first side plate assembly 310, and comprises a second top rod 321, a second plate body 323 and two second support rods 322, the upper ends of the two second support rods 322 being connected by the second top rod 321, and the second plate body 323 being fixed between the two second support rods 322. In the thickness direction of the second plate body 323, the second top rod 321 and the two second support rods 322 all protrude towards the inside of the cabinet 300 relative to the second plate body 323.

[0062] The above design makes the first side plate assembly 310 and the second side plate assembly 320 both have high strength, and the first side plate assembly 310 can effectively adapt to the connecting rod assembly 400.

[0063] Specifically, the first side plate assembly 310 is formed with a matching hole 314, the matching hole 314 being located on the side of the door body 200, and a part of the second connecting rod 420 passes through the matching hole 314, so that the foot pedal 500 protrudes from the door body 200. The second connecting rod 420 is movably arranged in the matching hole 314.

[0064] More specifically, the matching hole 314 is located on one of the first support rods 312.

[0065] Optionally, the matching hole 314 can be rectangular or waist-shaped.

[0066] More specifically, there is a gap between the foot pedal 500 and the first side plate assembly 310, which prevents the foot pedal 500 from generating friction with the first side plate assembly 310 and producing a harsh noise when moving in the matching hole 314.

[0067] Preferably, as shown in Figure 3 , 4 ​As shown, the foot-operated trash can of this application also includes a foot-operated buffer cylinder 600. One end of the foot-operated buffer cylinder 600 is hinged above the mating hole 314, and the other end is hinged to the second connecting rod 420. When the buffer cylinder is extended, the foot pedal 500 moves downward, so that when the user presses down on the foot pedal 500, the foot-operated buffer cylinder 600 is extended. During the extension process, the foot will feel a relatively comfortable damping sensation, which makes it easy for the user to control the opening of the top cover 100 with their foot. When the user releases their foot, the cylinder slowly retracts, and the top cover 100 slowly descends to avoid the top cover 100 falling suddenly and generating noise as much as possible.

[0068] In detail, the foot-operated buffer cylinder 600, the connecting rod assembly 400 and the foot pedal 500 of this application are all integrated into the first side plate assembly 310, which has a compact structure, strong modularity and is easy to assemble with other parts of the foot-operated trash can.

[0069] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, since the linkage assembly 400 and foot pedal 500 of the foot-operated trash can in this application are only located on one side, in order to improve the closure balance of the top cover 100 and avoid mechanical damage caused by the single-sided linkage assembly 400 bearing a large load, a slow-closing cylinder 700 is hinged to each of the two sides of the top cover 100. The other end of the slow-closing cylinder 700 is connected to the body 300. When the user presses down on the foot pedal 500, the top cover 100 is lifted, and one foot-operated buffer cylinder 600 and two buffer cylinders are simultaneously extended. Below the top cover 100, the two buffer cylinders cooperate to support the top cover 100, thereby supporting the descent of the top cover 100 and further ensuring the balanced operation of the foot-operated trash can.

[0070] As a specific solution, such as Figure 2 , 4 As shown, the bin body 300 also includes a top frame 340, which is located on the top of the bin body 300. The top frame 340 can fit into the top cover 100, which is connected above the first side panel assembly 310 and the second side panel assembly 320 to increase the overall strength of the foot-operated trash can.

[0071] More specifically, such as Figure 2 , 4 As shown, the top cover 100 is hinged to the top frame 340. When producing this foot-operated trash can, the top cover 100 and the top frame 340 can be pre-assembled and then installed on other components, thereby achieving modular and quick assembly.

[0072] In the horizontal direction, the first side plate assembly 310 protrudes inward from the top frame 340, so that the mating hole 314 and the first connecting rod 410 are simultaneously offset from the top frame 340, thus avoiding interference of the top frame 340 with the movement of the connecting rod assembly 400.

[0073] Specifically, the first side plate assembly 310 further comprises a support rib 350 connected to the inner side of the first plate body 313 and not protruding from the first support rod 312, and the hinge points of the first connecting rod 410 and the second connecting rod 420 are located on the support rib 350, so that all the hinge points of the first side plate assembly 310 are located on the same vertical plane, further reducing the space occupied by the connecting rod assembly 400 in the cabinet 300, and further stabilizing the operation of the connecting rod assembly.

[0074] Preferably, the bottom of the foot-operated garbage can is open. As shown in the figure, the foot-operated garbage can further comprises a protective frame 800 located at the bottom of the cabinet 300 and below the door body 200, and the protective frame 800 is fixedly connected to the first side plate assembly 310 and the second side plate assembly 320, with the horizontal projection plane being the orthographic projection plane, and the orthographic projection of the first connecting rod 410 and the second connecting rod 420 being located within the orthographic projection of the protective frame 800. The protective frame 800 can effectively protect the connecting rod assembly 400 from below, for example, when the foot-operated garbage can is installed outdoors, the ground often has weeds extending into the inside of the cabinet 300, and the protective frame 800 can block those weeds to prevent the weeds from interfering with the movement of the connecting rod assembly 400. Figure 5

[0075] Among them, the design of connecting the first side plate assembly 310 and the second side plate assembly 320 to the protective frame 800 can also increase the overall strength of the garbage can.

[0076] Optionally, the lower side of the first plate body 313 and the second plate body 323 can be folded to form a reinforcing portion. When it rains outdoors, the groove in the reinforcing portion may accumulate water, so the reinforcing portion is provided with a drain hole at the bottom for draining water to prevent rust.

[0077] In summary, the movement trajectory and installation position of the connecting rod assembly 400 are effectively constrained and shielded by the first side plate assembly 310, which not only avoids conflicts with the detachable garbage can placement space in the cabinet 300, but also limits its activity range to the covered area of the side plate assembly. This structural design makes the connecting rod assembly 400 completely hidden in the visual blind area when the user operates the cover plate and the door body 200, achieving the coordination and unity of functionality and aesthetic appearance.

[0078] In this application, the terms "mount", "set", "provided with", "connected", "connected", "sleeved" should be broadly understood. For example, it can be fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally configured; it can be mechanically connected or electrically connected; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication between two devices, elements or components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0079] ​The above merely provides preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the principles and technical scope of the present application shall fall into the scope of the present application.
