Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of trash cans, specifically relating to a foldable one-piece trash can. Background Technology

[0002] Trash cans, as a common cleaning tool, are widely used in various scenarios. Among them, folding trash cans, due to their portability and ease of storage, further expand their application scenarios. For example, when picnicking or camping outdoors, folding trash cans can be unfolded to serve as trash containers, and folded down for easy carrying, readily meeting the needs of outdoor waste disposal. Therefore, folding trash cans are becoming increasingly prevalent in daily life.

[0003] In the prior art, such as patent document CN221542797U, a folding trash can is disclosed, including a body and a detachable lid assembly. The body folds inward via side panels, making the trash can easy to carry and store. However, this trash can uses a modular design, with the body, lid assembly, and other components being independent. These components need to be assembled and secured during use, and disassembled for storage. This fragmented structure not only increases storage difficulty but also makes it easy for parts to be lost, causing considerable inconvenience in daily use. Furthermore, the side panels need to be secured with the lid assembly after unfolding, resulting in a relatively loose structure and increasing the folded size of the trash can, thus raising transportation costs. Moreover, if the lid assembly is lost, the unfolded body is at risk of folding over at any time, rendering the trash can unusable, indicating low reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems in existing technologies, this utility model proposes a foldable one-piece trash can. By connecting the first panel and the second panel with a connecting plate, the trash can is formed into a one-piece structure, which is relatively sturdy. When it is necessary to take the trash can out or store it, only one whole component needs to be carried or stored, which reduces the volume of the trash can after folding and eliminates the risk of losing parts.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a foldable one-piece trash can includes two panels, two side panels, and a bottom panel disposed at the bottom.

[0006] A connecting plate is also provided between the bottom of the two panels; the connecting plate includes a folding member, the two ends of which are respectively hinged to the two panels; the bottom plate is hinged to the inner bottom of any one panel; one end of each side panel is hinged to one of the panels, and the other end is provided with a first connecting member, and the other panel is provided with a corresponding second connecting member; the connecting plate makes the trash can form an integrated structure, making the connection between the various components more secure; at the same time, the integrated trash can forms only one component after folding, which reduces the volume of the trash can after folding, thereby reducing the transportation cost of the trash can; on the other hand, it can prevent the trash can from becoming unusable due to the loss of some parts, thus improving the reliability of the trash can.

[0007] When the trash can is folded, both the side panels and the bottom panel fold inward; the folding member folds inward, causing the two panels to move closer together; when the trash can is unfolded, the two panels move away from each other, causing the folding member to unfold outward; both the side panels and the bottom panel fold outward; wherein, the first connecting piece of the side panel is connected to the second connecting piece of the corresponding panel, and the bottom panel covers the top of the connecting plate.

[0008] Preferably, the first connecting member is an insertion part, and the second connecting member is an insertion groove. When the trash can is unfolded, the insertion part is inserted into the insertion groove. Since the side plate is hinged to the first panel, there is a risk that the side plate will automatically fold inward when the trash can is unfolded. When the insertion part is inserted into the insertion groove, the rotation of the side plate can be restricted, preventing the side plate from automatically folding inward, thus improving the reliability of the trash can. The folding component includes a hinged first connecting part and a second connecting part. The first connecting part and the second connecting part are also hinged to the two panels respectively. When the trash can is unfolded, the first connecting part and the second connecting part abut against the bottom plate. On the one hand, by having the bottom plate abut against the first connecting part and the second connecting part, the first connecting part and the second connecting part can be prevented from folding when the trash can is unfolded, thus improving the reliability of the folding component. On the other hand, the first connecting part and the second connecting part can also support the bottom plate, thus improving the sturdiness of the trash can.

[0009] Specifically, the insertion part includes a guide portion that gradually decreases in size from the inside out, and an anti-detachment portion located in the middle of the insertion part. When the trash can is unfolded, the guide portion and the anti-detachment portion are inserted into the insertion slot. The guide portion guides the insertion part when it is inserted into the insertion slot, making it easier for the insertion part to be inserted into the insertion slot and improving the convenience of unfolding the trash can; the anti-detachment portion prevents the insertion part from easily coming out of the insertion slot, improving the reliability of the connection between the insertion part and the insertion slot.

[0010] Specifically, the anti-detachment part includes a hook-shaped hook, and the insertion groove is further provided with an anti-detachment groove adapted to the hook. When the anti-detachment part is inserted into the insertion groove, the hook engages with the anti-detachment groove. The hook is flexible and deformable, and the head of the hook has a bevel. When the hook is inserted into the insertion groove and engages with the anti-detachment groove, the bevel connects with the wedge of the insertion groove, causing the hook to bend and deform. When the hook moves to the position corresponding to the anti-detachment groove, the hook returns to its original shape, engaging with the anti-detachment groove, further preventing the insertion part from easily detaching from the insertion groove, and improving the reliability of the connection between the insertion part and the insertion groove.

[0011] Specifically, the anti-detachment groove penetrates the side wall of the insertion slot. When the hook engages with the anti-detachment groove, the hook protrudes from the inner or outer wall of the trash can. Since the insertion part needs to be disengaged from the insertion slot when the trash can is folded, pressing the hook allows it to quickly detach from the anti-detachment groove, thus enabling the insertion part to quickly disengage from the insertion slot. This improves the folding convenience of the trash can and enhances the consumer experience.

[0012] Preferably, the panel has protective portions on both sides facing the center of the trash can, and a storage groove is formed between the protective portions of the same panel. When the trash can is folded, the side panels and the bottom plate are respectively stored in the storage grooves of their respective hinged panels. The protective portions protect the side panels and the bottom plate when they are stored in the storage grooves, preventing the trash can from damaging the side panels and the bottom plate during transportation.

[0013] Specifically, when the side panels are stored in the storage slot, they are arranged side-by-side or stacked between the panels. When the side panels are arranged side-by-side, the length of the panel is greater than or equal to twice the length of the side panels, reducing the folded volume of the trash can while maintaining the same capacity. This further reduces the space occupied by the trash can, thereby reducing transportation costs and improving its convenience. When the side panels are stacked between the panels, the length of the side panels is significantly increased, thus greatly increasing the volume of the trash can while only slightly increasing its folded size. This improves the practicality of the trash can while maintaining its portability.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the side plate is further provided with a support portion. When the trash can is unfolded, the support portion extends into the trash can, and the bottom plate presses against the support portion. The support portion is used to support the unfolded bottom plate, preventing the force generated by the bottom plate from being concentrated on the connecting plate, which would shorten the service life of the connecting plate. By dispersing the force generated by the bottom plate through the support portion, the load on the connecting plate is reduced, and the service life of the connecting plate is improved.

[0015] Specifically, the base plate is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove that matches the support part, and a positioning boss is also provided in the snap-fit ​​groove. The support part is also provided with a positioning groove corresponding to the positioning boss. After the base plate is unfolded, the positioning boss is inserted into the positioning groove, and at the same time, the support part is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove. The snap-fit ​​groove is used to reinforce the base plate when it is unfolded, further improving the connection reliability of the trash can; the positioning boss and the positioning groove are used for positioning when the support part and the snap-fit ​​groove are snapped together, thereby improving the accuracy of the base plate snapping together.

[0016] Specifically, the panel connected to the side plate is also provided with a clearance groove corresponding to the support portion, the contour of which is adapted to the contour of the base plate. The clearance groove is used to avoid the support portion when the side plate is folded, reducing the thickness of the folded side plate and thus reducing the volume of the folded trash can, further reducing transportation costs and improving the convenience of carrying and storing the trash can. The matching contour of the clearance groove with the contour of the base plate makes the unfolded structure of the base plate more robust, further improving the reliability of the trash can.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This utility model proposes a foldable one-piece trash can. On one hand, the panel, side panels, and bottom panel form a foldable structure, making the trash can easy to carry and store, convenient for people to take when going out, expanding the application scenarios of the trash can, and thus improving its practicality. On the other hand, the connecting plate makes the trash can form a one-piece structure, making the connection between the various components more secure. At the same time, the one-piece trash can forms only one component after folding, which not only reduces the volume of the trash can after folding, thereby reducing the transportation cost of the trash can, but also prevents the trash can from becoming unusable due to the loss of some parts, thus improving the reliability of the trash can.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] like Figures 1-9As shown, a foldable one-piece trash can includes a first panel 1 and a second panel 2 arranged opposite to each other, two side panels 3, and a bottom plate 4 located at the bottom of the trash can. A connecting plate 5 is also provided between the bottoms of the first panel 1 and the second panel 2. The connecting plate 5 includes a folding member, the two ends of which are respectively hinged to the first panel 1 and the second panel 2. The bottom plate 4 is hinged to the bottom inner side of any one of the panels. One end of each side panel 3 is hinged to the first panel 1, and the other end is provided with a first connecting member. The second panel 2 is provided with a corresponding second connecting member. The connecting plate makes the trash can form a one-piece structure, making the connection between the various components more secure. At the same time, the one-piece trash can forms only one component after folding, which reduces the volume of the trash can after folding, thereby reducing the transportation cost of the trash can. On the other hand, it can prevent the trash can from becoming unusable due to the loss of some parts, thus improving the reliability of the trash can.

[0032] When the trash can is folded, both the side panel 3 and the bottom panel 4 fold inward; the folding member folds inward, causing the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 to move closer together; when the trash can is unfolded, the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 move away from each other, causing the folding member to unfold outward; both the side panel 3 and the bottom panel 4 fold outward; wherein, the first connecting piece of the side panel 3 is connected to the second connecting piece of the corresponding panel, and the bottom panel 4 covers the top of the connecting plate 3.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first connecting member is a plug-in part 31, and the second connecting member is a plug-in groove 21. When the trash can is unfolded, the plug-in part 31 is inserted into the plug-in groove 21. Since the side plate 3 is hinged to the first panel 1, there is a risk that the side plate 3 may automatically fold inward when the trash can is unfolded. When the plug-in part 31 is inserted into the plug-in groove 21, the rotation of the side plate 3 can be restricted, preventing the side plate 3 from automatically folding inward, thus improving the reliability of the trash can.

[0034] Specifically, the insertion part 31 includes a guide part 311 that gradually decreases in size from the inside out, and an anti-detachment part 312 located in the middle of the insertion part 31. When the trash can is unfolded, the guide part 311 and the anti-detachment part 312 are inserted into the insertion groove 21. The guide part 311 guides the insertion part 31 when it is inserted into the insertion groove 21, making it easier for the insertion part 31 to be inserted into the insertion groove 21 and improving the convenience of unfolding the trash can. The anti-detachment part 312 prevents the insertion part 31 from easily detaching from the insertion groove 21, improving the reliability of the connection between the insertion part 31 and the insertion groove 21.

[0035] Specifically, the anti-detachment part 312 includes a hook-shaped hook part 3121, and the insertion groove 21 is also provided with an anti-detachment groove 211 adapted to the hook part 3121. When the anti-detachment part 312 is inserted into the insertion groove 21, the hook part 3121 engages with the anti-detachment groove 211. The hook part 3121 is bendable and deformable, and the head of the hook part 3121 is provided with a bevel. When the hook 3121 is inserted into the insertion groove 21 and engages with the anti-detachment groove 211, the inclined surface is wedge-connected with the insertion groove 21, causing the hook 3121 to bend and deform. When the hook 3121 moves to the position corresponding to the anti-detachment groove 211, the hook 3121 returns to its original shape, allowing the hook 3121 to engage with the anti-detachment groove 211, further preventing the insertion part 31 from easily detaching from the insertion groove 21, and improving the reliability of the connection between the insertion part 31 and the insertion groove 21.

[0036] Specifically, the anti-detachment groove 211 penetrates the side wall of the insertion groove 21. When the hook 3121 engages with the anti-detachment groove 211, the hook 3121 protrudes from the inner wall of the trash can. Since the insertion part 31 needs to be disengaged from the insertion groove 21 when the trash can is folded, pressing the hook 3121 allows it to quickly detach from the anti-detachment groove 211, thus enabling the insertion part 31 to quickly disengage from the insertion groove 21. This facilitates rapid folding of the trash can, improving its folding convenience and enhancing the consumer experience.

[0037] In this embodiment, protective portions 12 facing the center of the trash can are provided on both sides of the first panel 1 and the second panel 2. A storage groove 13 is formed between the protective portions 12 of the same panel. When the trash can is folded, the side panels 3 and the bottom panel 4 are respectively stored in the storage grooves 13 of the first panel 1 and the second panel 2. The protective portions 12 are used to protect the side panels 3 and the bottom panel 4 when they are stored in the storage grooves 13, and to prevent the trash can from damaging the side panels 3 and the bottom panel 4 during transportation.

[0038] Specifically, when the side panels 3 are housed in the storage slot 13, the side panels 3 are arranged side by side. When the side panels 3 are arranged side by side, the length of the first panel 1 is greater than twice the length of the side panels 3, which reduces the volume of the trash can after folding while keeping the volume unchanged, further reducing the space occupied by the trash can, thereby further reducing the transportation cost of the trash can and improving the convenience of the trash can.

[0039] The folding component includes a hinged first connecting part 51 and a second connecting part 52. The first connecting part 51 and the second connecting part 52 are also hinged to the two panels respectively. When the trash can is unfolded, the first connecting part 51 and the second connecting part 52 abut against the bottom plate 4. On the one hand, by having the bottom plate 4 abut against the first connecting part 51 and the second connecting part 52, the first connecting part 51 and the second connecting part 52 can be prevented from folding when the trash can is unfolded, thus improving the reliability of the folding component. On the other hand, the first connecting part 51 and the second connecting part 52 can also support the bottom plate 4, thus improving the sturdiness of the trash can.

[0040] In this embodiment, a support portion 32 is also provided at the bottom of the side plate 3. When the trash can is unfolded, the support portion 32 extends into the trash can, and the bottom plate 4 presses against the support portion 32. The support portion 32 is used to support the unfolded bottom plate 4, preventing the force generated by the bottom plate 4 from being concentrated on the connecting plate 5, which would shorten the service life of the connecting plate 5. By dispersing the force generated by the bottom plate 4 through the support portion 32, the load on the connecting plate 5 is reduced, and the service life of the connecting plate 5 is improved.

[0041] Specifically, the base plate 4 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 41 that matches the support part 32. A positioning boss 411 is also provided within the snap-fit ​​groove 41, and the support part 32 is provided with a positioning groove 321 corresponding to the positioning boss 411. After the base plate 4 is unfolded, the positioning boss 411 is inserted into the positioning groove 321, and simultaneously, the support part 32 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 41. The snap-fit ​​groove 41 is used for reinforcement when the base plate 4 is unfolded, further improving the connection reliability of the trash can. The positioning boss 411 and the positioning groove 321 are used for positioning when the support part 32 and the snap-fit ​​groove 41 are snapped together, thereby improving the accuracy of the base plate 4 during snap-fit.

[0042] Specifically, the first panel 1 is also provided with a clearance groove 11 corresponding to the support part 32, and the outline of the clearance groove 11 is adapted to the outline of the base plate 4. The clearance groove 11 is used to avoid the support part 32 when the side panel 3 is folded, thereby reducing the thickness of the side panel 3 after folding, and thus reducing the volume of the trash can after folding, further reducing the transportation cost of the trash can, and improving the convenience of carrying and storing the trash can; the outline of the clearance groove 11 is adapted to the outline of the base plate 4, making the structure of the base plate 4 more robust after unfolding, further improving the reliability of the trash can.

[0043] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to the utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
