Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of trash can technology, specifically relating to a gap-fitting interlocking structure for a trash can. Background Technology

[0002] In public places or large communities, garbage collection is a frequent and time-consuming task. Traditional single garbage bins require individual emptying and transport, which is inefficient and labor-intensive. Interconnection technology allows for the synchronized movement and emptying of multiple bins, significantly improving collection efficiency. For example, some interconnectable bin designs, by adding connecting modules and handles with latches, allow two or more bins to be linked end-to-end, enabling the simultaneous removal of multiple bins and saving considerable manpower, resources, and money. In outdoor or windy environments, single garbage bins are easily tipped over, leading to littering and environmental pollution. Interconnection technology enhances stability and reduces the risk of tipping. In space-constrained areas, such as narrow streets, alleys, or indoor environments, traditional single garbage bins may occupy too much space, causing inconvenience or wasted space. Interconnection technology allows multiple bins to be arranged compactly, optimizing space utilization. Furthermore, in garbage sorting, interconnection technology is also used to connect bins for different types of waste side-by-side.

[0003] Adjacent trash cans are typically connected by interlocking clips. Existing interlocking designs generally snap from top to bottom and are usually tight, exposing the clip structure. This not only affects the overall structural harmony and aesthetics, but also requires designing space for the clips within the can body and lid during production. This impacts the fit and functional design of the can body and lid; otherwise, interference can easily occur between the interlocking structure and the can body / lid. Therefore, significant changes to the trash can structure and appearance are necessary. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems in related technologies, this utility model proposes a gap-fitting interlocking structure for a trash can. By connecting the buckle and the fastener from bottom to top, the interlocking structure is concealed, which enhances the aesthetics and does not interfere with the surface of the can lid.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A gap-fitting interlocking structure for a trash can includes an interlocking mechanism located between two trash cans, the trash can including a body and a lid assembly hinged to the body;

[0007] The upper end of the bin body and the side adjacent to the bin body is provided with an upward-facing buckle. Both ends of the buckle have upward-facing latches. The latches are inserted into the buckle from bottom to top, and the latches and buckles are engaged and connected. The two trash cans are connected to each other through the buckle.

[0008] The outer edge of the bucket lid assembly is larger than the bucket body; when the buckle and the fastener are matched and engaged, there is a gap between the edges of adjacent bucket bodies and between the edges of adjacent bucket lid assemblies.

[0009] Preferably, the fastener includes a connecting plate and a buckle, with the buckle extending upward from the edges of both sides of the connecting plate; one or more buckles are provided on the edge of one side of the connecting plate, and the buckles are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting plate.

[0010] Specifically, the connecting plate has a certain width to ensure a gap between the connected bucket bodies, preventing interference. Multiple clips enhance the stability of the connection and maintain the balance between the bucket bodies.

[0011] Preferably, the buckles on the same side are recessed inward to form a recessed portion, and the recessed portion is provided with a horizontally protruding strip-shaped protrusion; the strip-shaped protrusion is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting plate.

[0012] Specifically, the recessed part and the strip-shaped protrusion facilitate the installation and disassembly of the fastener, and also make it easy to handle by hand; the strip-shaped protrusion enhances the overall stability of the fastener structure and prevents breakage.

[0013] Preferably, the lower end of the connecting plate is provided with several reinforcing ribs.

[0014] Specifically, the structure of reinforcing ribs combined with strip protrusions improves the balance of the interlocking structure, enhances the strength of the structure, and strengthens the connection.

[0015] Preferably, the open end of the barrel body has an outwardly protruding mouth ring, the buckle is in the shape of a longitudinally extending through hole, adjacent to the mouth ring of the barrel body, and the buckle is adjacent to the side wall of the barrel body.

[0016] Specifically, the mouth ring protrudes outward from the body of the bin, while the fastener is close to the mouth ring and located inside the body of the bin, connecting from bottom to top. This allows for the connection between bins without affecting the continuity and flatness of the mouth ring surface, as well as the design for attaching garbage bags.

[0017] Preferably, the buckle is inserted into the buckle from bottom to top, and its longitudinal plane is located inside the opening ring.

[0018] Specifically, the longitudinal plane of the buckle is located inside the mouth ring to avoid interfering with the structure of the mouth ring.

[0019] Preferably, the bucket lid assembly includes a lid ring and a lid body; the lid ring is a hollow annular structure, the lid body is hinged to the lid ring, and the lid ring is hinged to the bucket body; the outer edge of the lid ring is larger than the opening ring.

[0020] Specifically, through the interlocking bottom-up insertion structure design, even when the outer edge of the cover ring is larger than the opening ring, there is still a gap between the cover rings of the two trash cans, so that they will not interfere with each other.

[0021] Preferably, the cover ring has an annular groove on the side facing the barrel body, the annular groove covers the mouth ring, and both the mouth ring and the buckle are located within the annular groove.

[0022] Specifically, the annular groove has a certain width, and the mouth ring and buckle are both located in the annular groove, which not only achieves the adaptation of the cover ring to the barrel structure, but also saves space, while hiding the buckle in the annular groove.

[0023] Preferably, the annular groove is further provided with several connecting ribs, and the buckle is not connected to the connecting ribs.

[0024] Specifically, the connecting ribs can enhance the strength and stability of the cover ring structure, and the buckle can be inserted from bottom to top to avoid interference with the connecting ribs and other structures in the annular groove.

[0025] Preferably, the bin body is provided with one or more fasteners, the fasteners are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bin body, and the fasteners connect two or more trash cans side by side.

[0026] Specifically, the interlocking structure allows multiple trash cans to be connected side by side, making it suitable for recycling bins, etc.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0028] This utility model provides a gap-fitting interlocking structure for trash cans. The upper end of the adjacent side of the can body has an upward-facing notch for the interlocking position, and both ends of the interlocking have upward-facing latches. By inserting the latches from bottom to top into the interlocking position, the trash cans are connected. This bottom-up connection design conceals the interlocking between the can bodies, providing an invisible effect and enhancing aesthetics. Simultaneously, when the latches and interlocking positions are matched and fastened, gaps exist between the edges of adjacent can bodies and the edges of the can lid assembly. This prevents interference and obstruction between the upper surface of the can body and the lower surface of the can lid during connection due to the interlocking structure. In actual production, it eliminates the need to leave space for the interlocking from the opening of the can lid and can body, improving production efficiency and saving space and costs. Furthermore, the gap between the two cans provides operational space for changing plastic bags, facilitating the application and replacement of plastic bags. Attached Figure Description

[0042] like Figures 1 to 7A gap-fitting interlocking buckle 3 structure for a trash can includes an interlocking buckle 3 located between two trash cans, the trash can including a body 1 and a lid assembly 2 hinged to the body 1;

[0043] The upper end of the bin body 1 and the side adjacent to the bin body 1 is provided with a notch facing upwards for a fastening position 11. The two ends of the connecting buckle 3 have upwards facing latches 31. The latches 31 are inserted into the fastening position 11 from bottom to top, and the latches 31 and the fastening position 11 are engaged and connected. The two trash cans are connected to each other through the connecting buckle 3.

[0044] The outer edge of the bucket lid assembly 2 is larger than the bucket body 1; when the buckle 31 and the buckle position 11 are matched and fastened, there is a gap between the edges of the adjacent bucket body 1 and there is a gap between the edges of the adjacent bucket lid assembly 2.

[0045] The bin body 1 is provided with one or more fasteners 11, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bin body 1. The connecting buckles 3 connect two or more trash cans side by side.

[0046] The interlocking 3 structure allows multiple trash cans to be connected side by side, making it suitable for recycling bins and similar applications.

[0047] The connecting buckle 3 includes a connecting plate 32 and a buckle 31. The buckle 31 is formed by extending upward from the edges on both sides of the connecting plate 32. One or more buckles 31 are provided on the edge of the connecting plate 32 on one side, and the buckles 31 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting plate 32.

[0048] The connecting plate 32 has a certain width, which ensures that there is a gap between the barrel bodies 1 after connection, preventing mutual interference. Multiple buckles 31 can improve the stability of the connection and maintain the balance between the barrel bodies 1.

[0049] In this embodiment, there are four buckles 31 on the connecting plate 32, with two on each side and arranged symmetrically.

[0050] On the same side, the buckles 31 are recessed inward to form a recessed portion 33, and a horizontally protruding strip-shaped protrusion 34 is provided in the recessed portion 33; the strip-shaped protrusion 34 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting plate 32.

[0051] The recessed portion 33 and the strip-shaped protrusion 34 facilitate the installation and disassembly of the buckle 3, and also make it easy to handle by hand; the strip-shaped protrusion 34 can enhance the overall stability of the buckle 3 and prevent breakage.

[0052] The lower end of the connecting plate 32 is provided with several reinforcing ribs 35.

[0053] The reinforcing rib 35, in conjunction with the strip-shaped protrusion 34, improves the balance of the interlocking structure 3, enhancing the strength of the structure and the stability of the connection.

[0054] The barrel body 1 has an outwardly protruding mouth ring 12 at its open end. The buckle 11 is in the shape of a longitudinally extending through hole, adjacent to the mouth ring 12 of the barrel body 1, and the buckle 11 is adjacent to the side wall of the barrel body 1.

[0055] The mouth ring 12 protrudes outward from the body 1, while the buckle 11 is close to the mouth ring 12 and located inside the body 1, connecting from bottom to top.
