Description

A storage bucket Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage device technology, and in particular to a storage bucket. Background Technology

[0002] In modern society, storage containers play an indispensable role as basic storage containers for various materials. As people's quality of life improves, the design and function of storage containers are also constantly evolving.

[0003] However, most mainstream storage containers on the market currently suffer from a significant design flaw—the lack of a dedicated structure to hold the spoon in place. After users take materials, the spoon can only be left outside the storage container, making it highly susceptible to contamination and loss.

[0004] Therefore, improvements to existing technologies are necessary. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this utility model proposes a storage bucket that can solve the problem that existing storage buckets lack a fixed spoon structure, leading to the spoon being easily contaminated and lost when users leave it lying around after taking materials.

[0006] A storage bucket according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0007] A barrel body having an opening for storing and retrieving materials; a sealing cap detachably connected to the opening of the barrel body for sealing the opening;

[0008] A fixing mechanism is provided on the side of the sealing cover facing the inside of the barrel, including a first elastic positioning part and a second elastic positioning part that are spaced apart;

[0009] The spoon is positioned between the first elastic positioning part and the second elastic positioning part, and is fixed to the sealing cover by the elastic clamping action of the first elastic positioning part and the second elastic positioning part.

[0010] A storage bucket according to an embodiment of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: When a user needs to take material from the storage bucket, they open the detachable sealing cap connected to the opening of the bucket body, take out a spoon to take the material, and place the spoon between the spaced-apart first and second elastic positioning parts. Because the first and second elastic positioning parts have elastic properties, during the insertion of the spoon, they deform under external pressure and open appropriately to both sides. After the spoon is fully inserted into the space between them, the first and second elastic positioning parts rebound with their own elastic restoring force, tightly clamping the spoon and fixing it securely to the sealing cap. This effectively solves the problem that existing storage buckets lack a dedicated structure for fixing the spoon, leading to the spoon being easily contaminated and lost.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the fixing mechanism further includes an L-shaped block and a positioning block arranged opposite to each other.

[0036] Referring to Figures 1-6, a storage bucket according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0037] The barrel body has an opening for storing and retrieving materials; a sealing cap 30 is detachably connected to the opening of the barrel body for sealing the opening.

[0038] The fixing mechanism is located on the side of the sealing cover 30 facing the inside of the barrel, and includes a first elastic positioning part 31 and a second elastic positioning part 32 that are spaced apart.

[0039] The spoon 40 is positioned between the first elastic positioning part 31 and the second elastic positioning part 32, and is fixed to the sealing cover 30 by the elastic clamping action of the first elastic positioning part 31 and the second elastic positioning part 32.

[0040] When a user needs to retrieve materials from the storage container, they open the detachable sealing cap 30 connected to the opening of the container, take out the spoon 40 to retrieve the materials, and then place the spoon 40 between the spaced-apart first elastic positioning parts 31 and second elastic positioning parts 32. Because the first elastic positioning parts 31 and second elastic positioning parts 32 are elastic, during the insertion of the spoon 40, they deform under external pressure and open slightly to both sides. Once the spoon 40 is fully inserted into the space between them, the first elastic positioning parts 31 and second elastic positioning parts 32 rebound due to their own elastic restoring force, tightly clamping the spoon 40 and securing it firmly to the sealing cap 30. This effectively solves the problem of existing storage containers lacking a dedicated structure for securing the spoon 40, which makes the spoon 40 easily contaminated and lost.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the fixing mechanism further includes an L-shaped block 33 and a positioning block 34 arranged opposite to each other. The holding end of the spoon 40 is provided with a positioning hole 41. The opening of the L-shaped block 33 is set towards the holding end. The vertical part of the L-shaped block 33 passes through the positioning hole 41. The positioning block 34 cooperates with the horizontal part of the L-shaped block 33 to jointly limit the spoon 40.

[0042] When fixing the spoon 40, the vertical part gradually passes through the positioning hole 41. At this time, the spoon 40 is placed between the first elastic positioning part 31 and the second elastic positioning part 32, which are spaced apart. Since the first elastic positioning part 31 and the second elastic positioning part 32 have elastic properties, during the insertion of the spoon 40, the first elastic positioning part 31 and the second elastic positioning part 32 will deform due to external pressure and open to both sides appropriately. After the spoon 40 is completely inserted into the space between the two, the first elastic positioning part 31 and the second elastic positioning part 32 rebound with their own elastic restoring force and tightly clamp the spoon 40 to prevent the spoon 40 from wobbling from side to side. The vertical part passes through the positioning hole 41. At this time, push the spoon 40 to move towards the positioning block 34 to form a front-back limiting structure. The positioning block 34 and the L-shaped block 33 limit the spoon 40 to prevent the spoon 40 from wobbling from side to side.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a pivot shaft 16 is provided at the opening edge of the barrel body, and a shaft hole 36 is provided at the corresponding position of the sealing cover 30. The pivot shaft 16 passes through the shaft hole 36, and the sealing cover 30 rotates and opens and closes relative to the barrel body with the pivot shaft 16 as the axis.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the storage tank also includes a buffer rod 14. A limiting cavity is provided on the inner wall of the tank near the opening. The buffer rod 14 has a fixed end and a free end. The fixed end is fixed in the limiting cavity, and the free end extends toward the inner side of the sealing cover 30. When the sealing cover 30 is closed, the free end contacts the sealing cover 30 to provide a buffering effect.

[0045] When a user applies external force to push the sealing cap 30, the cap 30 will begin to rotate around the pivot 16, which is located at a corresponding position. Since the sealing cap 30 has a corresponding shaft hole 36 and the barrel opening edge has a pivot 16 that passes through the shaft hole 36, the sealing cap 30 will rotate around the pivot 16. During rotation, the sealing cap 30 gradually moves away from the barrel opening, gradually opening the internal space. The user can easily place or remove materials from the barrel. After placing or removing items, the user applies external force again to push the sealing cap 30, causing it to rotate in the opposite direction around the pivot 16. As the sealing cap 30 rotates, it gradually approaches the barrel opening. When the sealing cap 30 is about to close completely, the free end of the buffer rod 14 begins to contact the inner surface of the sealing cap 30. As the sealing cap 30 continues to rotate and close, the free end of the buffer rod 14 is squeezed by the sealing cap 30 and moves towards the fixed end, slowing down the closing speed of the sealing cap 30 until it is completely closed on the barrel opening. The buffer rod 14 reduces wear caused by collision between the sealing cover 30 and the barrel body, extends the service life of the sealing cover 30 and the barrel body, and reduces noise generated during the closing process.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a fixing block 17 is connected to the side wall of the barrel opposite to the pivot shaft 16. The fixing block 17 is rotatably connected to a first flipping block 18 through a first positioning shaft. The first flipping block 18 is rotatably connected to a second flipping block 19 through a second positioning shaft 23. The sealing cover 30 is provided with a slot 35. The side of the second flipping block 19 facing the slot 35 is provided with a locking block 20. When the sealing cover 30 is closed, the locking block 20 is embedded in the slot 35 to achieve locking.

[0047] When the sealing cap 30 is fully closed, the locking block 20 on the side of the second flip block 19 facing the slot 35 is precisely aligned with the slot 35 on the sealing cap 30. Continue adjusting the positions of the first flip block 18 and the second flip block 19 until the locking block 20 is embedded in the slot 35, thus locking the sealing cap 30 to the container body. At this time, the sealing cap 30 cannot be freely rotated around the pivot axis 16 to open, and the storage container is in a closed and locked state. When it is necessary to open the sealing cap 30, the operator reverses the operation, applying an external force opposite to that applied when closing the first flip block 18, causing it to rotate around the first positioning axis away from the sealing cap 30. The rotation of the first flip block 18 drives the second flip block 19 to move, and the locking block 20 gradually disengages from the slot 35. When the locking block 20 is completely disengaged from the slot 35, the sealing cap 30 loses its locking function, and the user can freely push the sealing cap 30 to rotate around the pivot axis 16 to open it and remove or place materials into the storage container.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the storage bucket also includes a base 15, which connects the bucket body and the pivot shaft 16. Both the base 15 and the fixing block 17 are provided with handle grooves 21.

[0049] A handle groove 21 is provided on the base 15 or the fixing block 17. When transporting the storage bucket, you can put your fingers into the handle groove 21 to lift it, which will make the transport process relatively stable.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the barrel body includes an outer barrel 10 and an inner barrel 11. The top of the outer barrel 10 is provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions 12 spaced apart circumferentially. The inner barrel 11 is detachably disposed inside the outer barrel 10. The top edge of the inner barrel 11 is provided with positioning grooves 13 that match the positioning protrusions 12. When the inner barrel 11 is installed in place, each positioning protrusion 12 is respectively engaged in the corresponding positioning groove 13.

[0051] The user places the inner tub 11 inside the outer tub 10 and adjusts its position so that the positioning groove 13 on the top edge of the inner tub 11 corresponds one-to-one with the multiple positioning protrusions 12 spaced circumferentially on the top of the outer tub 10. The user slowly lowers the inner tub 11. When the inner tub 11 is in place, each positioning protrusion 12 engages with its corresponding positioning groove 13, achieving initial positioning and connection between the inner tub 11 and the outer tub 10. At this point, the position of the inner tub 11 within the outer tub 10 is fixed and will not easily shake or shift.

[0052] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the outer tub 10 has a first through hole corresponding to the base 15, and the outer tub 10 has a second through hole corresponding to the fixing block 17. The base 15 has a first threaded hole, and the fixing block 17 has a second threaded hole 24. Bolts pass through the first through hole and the first threaded hole to lock the base 15 and the outer tub 10, and bolts pass through the second through hole and the second threaded hole 24 to lock the fixing block 17 and the outer tub 10. The inner tub 11 is detachably installed inside the outer tub 10, making it convenient for users to clean, disinfect, or replace the inner tub 11 separately. When the inner tub 11 is damaged or needs to be replaced with a different type of inner tub 11, the user can easily remove the inner tub 11 from the outer tub 10. The operation is simple and convenient, improving the flexibility of use and the convenience of maintenance of the storage tub.

[0053] Place the base 15 on the outer tub 10 at the position corresponding to the base 15, aligning the first through hole of the outer tub 10 corresponding to the base 15 with the first threaded hole on the base 15. Then, pass a bolt through the first through hole from the outside of the outer tub 10 and screw it into the first threaded hole of the base 15. By rotating the bolt, ensure a tight fit between the bolt and the first threaded hole, thus securely locking the base 15 onto the outer tub 10. Similarly, place the fixing block 17 on the outer tub 10 at the position corresponding to the fixing block 17, aligning the second through hole of the outer tub 10 corresponding to the fixing block 17 with the second threaded hole 24 on the fixing block 17. Next, pass a bolt through the second through hole from the outside of the outer tub 10 and screw it into the second threaded hole 24 of the fixing block 17. By tightening the bolt, complete the locking connection between the fixing block 17 and the outer tub 10.

[0054] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the bottom of the outer bucket 10 is threadedly connected to a caster wheel 22. The threaded end of the caster wheel 22 is aligned with a pre-set threaded hole on the bottom of the outer bucket 10, and then the caster wheel 22 is rotated so that its threaded end gradually screws into the threaded hole on the bottom of the outer bucket 10 until the caster wheel 22 is securely installed. When the storage bucket needs to be moved, the user only needs to apply a certain external force to push the storage bucket, and the caster wheel 22 will begin to roll. Due to the omnidirectional rotation characteristic of the caster wheel 22, the storage bucket can be easily moved in all directions, making it convenient for the user to move it to different locations. In practical applications, the bottom of the outer bucket 10 can also be designed without casters 22, as shown in Figure 7. This configuration is an optional solution of this utility model rather than a necessary technical feature.

[0055] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
