Thus, the pull rod can lock the distance between the front support rod and the rear support rod, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the insertion pipes caused by deformation of the front support rod and the rear support rod in different directions due to excessive weight of the composting barrel.
[0015] In the hand-operated composting barrel, the end face of the barrel body has an integrally formed inner ring gear, and the handle assembly is in transmission cooperation with the inner ring gear. Thus, the inner ring gear does not need to be assembled and disassembled, which is more efficient and structurally more stable. The driving gear on the handle assembly is engaged with the inner ring gear, which is convenient for manual operation.
[0016] In the hand-operated composting barrel, the outer periphery of the two insertion pipes is connected by an integrally formed reinforcing rib plate. Thus, the overall strength of the two insertion pipes is increased, thereby ensuring the stability of the insertion structure.
[0017] In the hand-operated composting barrel, the composting barrel further comprises a locking member capable of being clamped with the inner ring gear to prevent rotation of the barrel body. The locking member is in the shape of a strip, one end of the locking member is rotationally connected to the front support rod or the rear support rod, and the other end or the middle section of the locking member is clamped to the lower side of the mounting plate. The structure of the locking member clamped with the inner ring gear can refer to the prior art. When the locking member is not in use, it can strengthen the connection between the mounting plate and the front support rod or the rear support rod, thereby ensuring the positional stability of the two. When it is necessary to clamp with the inner ring gear, the locking member can be pressed down to unlock the mounting plate and swing downward, thereby preventing rotation of the barrel body. The operation is convenient.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the hand-operated composting barrel has the following advantages:
