Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of household goods technology, specifically a multi-functional trash can that can be slidably stored. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of waste sorting technology, various types of trash cans have been widely used. However, these products still have some problems in practical use. For example, existing multi-functional trash cans usually take up a large area, making them inconvenient to use in limited spaces, and are also difficult to move. In addition, existing sorting trash cans are usually designed as a single unit, which cannot meet the different needs of different households or scenarios for trash can capacity and shape.
[0003] A search revealed a foldable trash can with publication number CN202120905447.9, published on April 28, 2021. This design includes a first bin body, a second bin body, a third bin body, a limiting rod, a connecting plate, a first connecting block, a second connecting block, a sleeve, and fasteners, facilitating portability. While this structure increases trash capacity, its drawback lies in its relatively simple overall structure, making it unable to classify different types of waste. Especially in living environments with limited space, this design is difficult to meet practical needs.
[0004] A search revealed a multi-functional household trash can with publication number CN202111244207.X, published on October 21, 2021. This design includes a base plate, a trash can body, a lid assembly, a rotating assembly, and an expanding base cavity. While this design allows for the simultaneous sorting of multiple types of waste, its drawback lies in its fixed overall structure, which cannot be folded or stored as needed, making it difficult to adapt to the usage needs of different households or scenarios. For example, when there are few family members or limited living space, this fixed-structure trash can occupies unnecessary space, affecting the cleanliness and comfort of the living environment.
[0005] The aforementioned problems indicate that current multi-layered waste bins on the market are insufficient to effectively meet the demand for efficient and convenient waste sorting within limited spaces. Therefore, this invention provides a sliding, retractable, multi-functional waste bin to overcome these shortcomings and offer a more flexible, efficient, and adaptable solution for changing environments.
[0006] This sliding, multi-functional recycling bin can be folded and unfolded as needed, making it convenient to use and move in limited spaces. Furthermore, the design allows for flexible adjustment of the number and layers of bins to suit different households or scenarios, improving space utilization, reducing floor space, and thus meeting diverse usage requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0007] This utility model discloses a sliding, retractable, multi-functional sorting trash can, including a base trash can body, casters, a storage basket, a top trash can body, a sliding mechanism, and a locking mechanism. The bottom of the base trash can body has multiple caster brackets, each housing a caster. Two sliding grooves are provided on each side of the base trash can body, each containing a sliding mechanism consisting of an outer rail, a middle rail, and an inner rail. The outer rail connects to the middle rail, which is slidably connected to the outer rail of the storage basket. Two sliding grooves are provided on each side of the storage basket, each containing an outer rail, which connects to the top trash can body via the inner rail. The locking mechanism is located within the sliding mechanism and includes a locking pin and a spring. The locking pin engages with multiple locking holes within the sliding mechanism to keep the trash can unit in a fixed position.
[0008] The sliding device includes an inner rail, a middle rail, and an outer rail. The inner rail is threadedly connected to the inner side of the base trash can and the storage basket via a threaded rod. The outer rail is threadedly connected to the outer side of the storage basket and the top trash can via a threaded rod. The middle rail is slidably connected between the inner rail and the outer rail. Both ends of the sliding device are designed with stop blocks to prevent the sliding device from disengaging during sliding.
[0009] The top garbage bin is equipped with detachable classification label plates on both the left and right sides. The classification label plates are embedded in the front of the left and right garbage bins respectively, and are connected to the left and right garbage bins by magnetic attraction. The classification label plates are provided with classification labels and text descriptions to facilitate users to quickly identify garbage classification.
[0010] The sliding device works as follows: When the multi-functional sorting trash can needs to be folded and slid, the user first unlocks the locking device and pulls the locking pin out of the locking hole. At this time, the slider slides freely within the groove. The user manually lowers the top trash can unit, allowing the outer rail to slide along the slider, thus placing the top trash can unit above the storage basket. Repeating the above steps, the storage basket is slid into the base trash can, allowing the multi-functional sorting trash can to be folded and stored. When the trash can needs to be unfolded, the user manually lifts the top trash can and storage basket, slides the slider along the groove to the predetermined position, and then inserts the locking pin into the locking hole to hold the unit in a fixed position. Through the cooperation of the sliding and locking devices, the multi-functional sorting trash can can be folded and unfolded within a limited space, saving space and facilitating transport.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. Through the cooperation of the sliding device and the locking device, the multi-layer classified garbage bin can be folded and unfolded in a limited space, saving space and facilitating transportation, especially suitable for living environments with limited space; 2. The base garbage bin, storage basket, and top garbage bin are slidably connected to the slider in the sliding device, allowing the product units to slide freely within the sliding device. This allows users to adjust the number and layers of bin units according to actual needs, improving space utilization and adapting to different usage scenarios; 3. The storage basket design gives the product storage function, increasing its usability; 4. The casters at the bottom of the bin units are designed with foot brakes. Closing the foot brakes enhances the stability of the garbage bin on different surfaces, adapting to different usage scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The working principle and application scenarios are as follows:
[0026] This utility model is applicable to space-constrained scenarios such as small apartments and student dormitories. When the multi-functional sorting trash can needs to be stored, the user first unlocks the locking device 8 and pulls the locking pin 9 out of the locking hole 11. At this time, the slider 4 slides freely within the sliding device 3. The user manually places the storage basket 6 and the top trash can 7 inside the bottom trash can 7, achieving nested storage of the multi-functional sorting trash can. When the trash can needs to be unfolded, the user manually lifts the storage basket 6 and the top trash can 7. The storage basket 6 and the top trash can 7 slide the slider 4 along the sliding device to the predetermined position, restoring the storage basket 6 and the top trash can 7 to the fixed position. Then, the locking pin 9 is inserted into the locking hole 11 to keep the storage basket 6 and the top trash can 7 in the fixed position. Through the cooperation of the sliding device 3 and the locking device 8, the multi-functional sorting trash can can be folded and unfolded within a limited space. When it needs to be moved, the casters 2 make it very convenient to move the trash can. The design of the caster bracket 13 and the foot brake 14 ensures the stability of the trash can on different ground surfaces, saving space and facilitating transportation.
