[0026] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention can be understood more clearly and thoroughly, and that the scope of the present invention can be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. Example 1
[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A paint tray includes a tray body 1, which includes a paint tank 11, a leveling plate 12, and a storage trough 14, with the leveling plate 12 located between the paint tank 11 and the storage trough 14.
[0028] Furthermore, the paint tank 11 is used to hold paint, and the leveling plate 12 is inclined, with its lower end extending to the bottom of the paint tank 11. Excess paint on the leveling plate 12 can flow along the leveling plate 12 into the paint tank 11. The leveling plate 12 is provided with V-shaped protrusions 13, which are used to rub against the brush body and remove excess paint from it. The middle of the V-shaped protrusions 13 is a pointed part, located above the two ends, which facilitates the return of paint to the paint tank 11.
[0029] The storage trough 14 is a U-shaped trough used to hold brushes or roller brushes. The brush body of the brush or roller brush is located inside the storage trough 14, which can catch paint dripping from the brush body and prevent paint from scattering on the ground.
[0030] In this embodiment, four wheels 2 are provided at the bottom of the disc body 1. The wheels 2 are omnidirectional wheels to facilitate the movement of the disc body 1. Among them, two wheels 2 are brake omnidirectional wheels, which have a braking function to keep the disc body 1 in a fixed position, thus forming a stable placement of the disc body 1.
[0031] Furthermore, a first force-receiving groove 141 and a second force-receiving groove 142 are respectively provided on both sides of the storage slot 14, and both the first force-receiving groove 141 and the second force-receiving groove 142 are C-shaped grooves. (Reference) Figure 3 When the disc body 1 needs to be moved, the roller brush body 3 of the roller brush can be placed inside the storage slot 14. At this time, the roller brush body 3 is combined with the disc body 1. The user can hold the rod 31 of the roller brush body 3 and push the roller brush body 3. The roller brush body 3 contacts the groove surface of the first force groove 141 or the second force groove 142, and the disc body 1 moves under force.
[0032] During the movement of the disc 1, the groove surface of the first force-receiving groove 141 or the second force-receiving groove 142 serves as the thrust-receiving surface of the roller brush 3. When moving in different directions, the first force-receiving groove 141 and the second force-receiving groove 142 become the corresponding force-receiving surfaces of the disc 1 in different directions. The first force-receiving groove 141 or the second force-receiving groove 142 is a C-shaped groove, which can reduce the probability of the roller brush 3 detaching from the force-receiving groove. This paint tray can push the disc 1 by combining with the roller brush 3. The disc 1 does not need to be equipped with push rods, pull ropes, or other structures, making the structure simple. Furthermore, the roller brush 3 and the disc 1 are commonly used tools in paint application scenarios, offering high compatibility.
[0033] In this embodiment, the disc body 11 is made of plastic, which is lightweight and easy to carry.
[0034] When using this paint tray to paint walls, the paint trough 11 of the tray can hold paint. A brush or roller can dip into the paint trough 11, scrape it against the leveling plate 12, and then apply the paint. The raised strips 13 on the leveling plate 12 can remove excess paint from the brush body, maintaining the uniformity of the paint on the brush body. When pausing painting, the brush body of the brush or roller can be placed inside the storage compartment 14 to prevent paint from dripping onto the bottom surface.
[0035] When the disc 1 needs to be moved, the brush body part of the roller brush body 3 can be placed in the storage groove 14. At this time, the roller brush body 3 is combined with the disc 1. The user can hold the rod part 31 of the roller brush body 3 and push the roller brush body 3. The roller brush body 3 contacts the force groove surface of the storage groove 14, and the disc 1 can be moved under force, which is convenient to use. Example 2
[0036] Reference Figures 4-6 Unlike the paint tray in Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the tray body 1 has an inverted U-shaped bracket 4 and a protrusion 5 on the side near the storage groove 14. The protrusion 5 is integrally formed with the tray body 1, and the two sides of the bracket 4 are slidably connected to the protrusion 5 in the vertical direction. The two sides of the protrusion 5 are provided with raised guide strips 53, and the inner walls of the two sides of the bracket 4 are provided with recessed guide grooves 43. The guide grooves 43 match the guide strips 53 to form a sliding guide for the bracket 4 on the protrusion 5.
[0037] The bracket 4 has two positioning holes on each side, including a first positioning hole 41 and a second positioning hole 42, which are arranged vertically. Both positioning holes 41 and 42 are through holes. The protrusion 5 has two threaded holes on each side, including a first threaded hole 51 and a second threaded hole 52, which are arranged vertically.
[0038] Furthermore, the disc body 1 is equipped with a positioning rod 6, which is a threaded rod. The positioning rod 6 is inserted into both the threaded hole and the positioning hole to achieve positioning between the bracket 4 and the protrusion 5.
[0039] refer to Figure 4 When the bracket 4 is at the lower limit position, the crossbar part of the bracket 4 fits against the protrusion 5. At this time, the first threaded hole 51 corresponds to the position of the first positioning hole 41, and the second threaded hole 52 corresponds to the position of the second positioning hole 42. The positioning rod 6 is inserted into the second threaded hole 52 and the second positioning hole 42 at the same time for positioning the bracket 4 at the lower limit position.
[0040] refer to Figure 5 When the bracket 4 is at its upper limit position, the crossbar portion of the bracket 4 separates from the protrusion 5. At this time, the first threaded hole 51 corresponds to the second positioning hole 42, and the positioning rod 6 is simultaneously inserted into the first threaded hole 51 and the second positioning hole 42 for positioning the bracket 4 at its upper limit position. At this time, the bracket 4 is higher than the storage slot 14, and the bracket 4 is used to support the handle of the brush or roller brush inside the storage slot 14 to prevent the brush or roller brush from tipping over on the tray.
