AI Technical Summary
The raised design of existing trash cans reduces the internal stacking depth, resulting in only a small number of trash cans being stacked during transportation, which increases transportation costs.
A groove is set on the protrusion so that the caster can be embedded in the groove, increasing the internal stacking depth of the trash can. The caster is fixed by reinforcing ribs and fixing holes. Combined with water-blocking ribs and stacking support ribs, the stability and waterproof performance are improved.
The increased internal stacking depth of the trash cans saves on transportation costs and prevents rainwater from entering during stacking, making them easy to remove.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a stackable trash can and belongs to the field of trash can technology. Background Technology
[0002] Trash cans, especially large-capacity public trash cans, are equipped with casters at their four bases for easy movement. To ensure convenient and secure installation, reinforced caster mounting brackets are installed at each of the four bases. To avoid increasing the overall height of the trash can, these mounting brackets typically protrude inwards, forming bosses on the inner walls of the four corners of the bottom. The disadvantage of this design is that during storage and transportation, multiple trash cans are often stacked together. The bosses reduce the internal stacking depth (the casters of the previous trash can are located on the bosses of the next trash can), thus reducing the number of cans that can be stacked. Especially during transportation, for example, with a 660L capacity trash can, without the bosses, seven trash cans can be stacked in a standard shipping container at its height; with the bosses, only six can be stacked, significantly increasing transportation costs. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a trash can that is easy to stack by setting a groove on the boss and embedding the caster in the groove, which can both fix the caster and increase the stacking depth inside the trash can.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A stackable trash can includes a trash can body and a lid. Caster mounting seats are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the trash can body, and casters are installed on the caster mounting seats. The caster mounting seats form protrusions on the bottom of the inner wall of the corresponding trash can body, and grooves are provided on the protrusions. When stacked, the caster of the previous trash can is embedded in the groove of the next trash can.
[0006] Furthermore, the caster mounting base is provided with crisscrossing reinforcing ribs, and fixing holes are provided on the reinforcing ribs. The fixing plate of the caster is fixed to the fixing holes by screws.
[0007] Furthermore, a water-blocking rib is provided on the rim of the bucket body, and the water-blocking rib cooperates with the bucket lid.
[0008] Furthermore, stacked support ribs are installed on the outer wall of the barrel opening.
[0009] Furthermore, the depth of the groove is 37.6 mm.
[0010] This utility model provides a stackable trash can, which has the following advantages compared with the existing technology: First, the groove on the protrusion increases the internal stacking depth of the trash can. When stacking, the caster of the upper trash can is embedded in the groove of the lower trash can. After stacking multiple trash cans, the height can be reduced considerably. Taking a 660L capacity trash can as an example, when transporting, the height of a standard container can now stack 7 trash cans instead of 6, which greatly saves transportation costs.
[0011] Second, the water-blocking ribs can reduce the flow of rainwater into the bucket;
[0012] Third, the stacked support ribs can provide support and facilitate the removal of the stacked buckets. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific implementation examples. The following implementation examples will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any way.
[0019] like Figure 1 — Figure 5 As shown, this utility model relates to a trash can that is easy to stack, including a trash can body 1 and a can lid 2. Caster mounting seats 3 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the trash can body. Casters 5 are installed on the caster mounting seats 3. The caster mounting seats 3 form protrusions 6 on the bottom of the inner wall of the corresponding trash can body. The protrusions 6 are provided with grooves 7. When stacked, the caster 5 of the previous trash can is embedded in the groove 7 of the next trash can.
[0020] The main feature of this solution is the groove 7 on the boss 6. This groove increases the internal stacking depth of the trash cans. During stacking, the lid 2 is removed first, and then the cans are stacked together. The caster of the previous trash can is embedded in the groove of the next trash can. Taking a 660L capacity trash can as an example, the diameter of the caster is 240mm, and the depth of the groove 7 is 37.6mm. With the caster embedded in the groove, when six trash cans are stacked, the depth is reduced by 225.6mm. During transportation, based on the height of a standard shipping container, one more trash can can be stacked, significantly saving transportation costs.
[0021] Furthermore, the caster mounting base 3 is provided with crisscrossing reinforcing ribs 8, and fixing holes 9 are provided on the reinforcing ribs. The fixing plate 10 of the caster 5 is fixed to the fixing holes 9 by screws. With the reinforcing ribs, the strength of the caster mounting base is enhanced, and the caster is fixed by screws, which is convenient and reliable.
[0022] Furthermore, a water-blocking rib 11 is provided on the rim of the bucket body 1. The water-blocking rib 11 cooperates with the bucket lid 2, and the water-blocking rib can reduce the flow of rainwater into the bucket.
[0023] Furthermore, the outer wall of the opening of the bin 1 is provided with stacking support ribs 12. In actual production, when the garbage bins are stacked, the casters can be removed. When stacking without casters, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the stacking support ribs can provide support between adjacent upper and lower barrels, preventing the barrels from jamming after stacking and facilitating subsequent removal.
[0024] The above specific embodiments are used to explain and illustrate the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications and changes made to the present utility model within the spirit and scope of the claims shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
