Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of trash cans, and specifically relates to a multifunctional trash can. Background Technology
[0002] Trash cans are indispensable cleaning supplies in daily life, used for collecting and storing garbage. The user experience of trash cans has multifaceted impacts, extending beyond convenience to include environmental hygiene, mental health, and behavioral habits. A well-designed, convenient, and hygienic trash can enhance the user experience, reduce stress, promote good habits, and improve environmental quality. Therefore, choosing suitable trash cans and maintaining their cleanliness is crucial for improving quality of life and the social environment.
[0003] Currently, most trash cans on the market have limited functions and inadequate design, failing to separate solid and liquid waste. This results in the mixing of solid and liquid waste, or rainwater mixing with the trash, leading to bacterial growth.
[0004] Accelerated decay leads to unpleasant odors, environmental pollution, and a reduced comfort of using trash cans. Common trash cans on the market also lack designated areas for disposing of cigarette butts, allowing unextinguished cigarette butts to ignite flammable materials inside the can, polluting the environment or even causing a fire. Furthermore, cleaning existing trash cans is inconvenient, and reusing dirty cans negatively impacts the user experience.
[0005] For example, a Chinese utility model patent (authorization announcement number: CN214398285U) discloses a trash can, including: a body for holding trash; and a lid that is rotatably connected to the body.
[0006] When the lid rotates in a first direction, the trash can opens; when the lid rotates in a second direction, the trash can closes. The first and second directions are opposite. The trash can also have an ID section, which stores the trash can's identification information and is located on the body of the trash can.
[0007] However, the aforementioned trash cans still suffer from problems such as inability to separate solid and liquid waste, lack of a dedicated area for cigarette butt disposal, and inconvenient cleaning. Therefore, it is necessary to design a multi-functional trash can to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
