Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sanitation equipment technology, and in particular to a trash can with a foot pedal opening function. Background Technology

[0002] With rapid industrialization and urbanization, environmental pollution has become increasingly serious. People are gradually realizing the harm that garbage poses to the environment and health, and are increasingly eager for a clean living environment and a high quality of life, leading to a growing awareness of environmental protection. As an important tool for garbage collection, garbage bins are receiving more and more attention, becoming a crucial link in protecting the environment and improving the quality of life.

[0003] The relevant technology can be referenced in Chinese Patent No. CN211970572U, which discloses a trash can door opening structure. A main control box is fixedly connected to the upper outer surface of the trash can body, and a canopy is welded to the upper outer surface of the main control box. A door panel is hinged to the front outer surface of the trash can. A disposal port is opened on the upper outer surface of the trash can body near the main control box. A touch screen is fixedly connected to the front outer surface of the main control box. An internal trash can is movably connected inside the trash can body. A push-pull rod motor is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner surface of the trash can body, and a sealing plate is fixedly connected to the extension end of the push-pull rod motor. L-shaped slide rails are provided on both sides of the sealing plate. This utility model structure can weigh and measure the trash in the trash bag during disposal and upload the data, measuring the trash quality in real time. It achieves a one-step weighing and disposal solution, eliminating the need for secondary disposal compared to the compared patent technology, facilitating secondary recycling by sanitation workers, and is more practical.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the automatic opening and closing of the garbage bin door is driven by an electric actuator. However, when a circuit failure or power outage occurs, the electric actuator loses power and cannot function properly. The normally flexible bin door will be fixed in a certain position and cannot be opened or closed according to the user's needs. Users will be unable to dispose of garbage, which will undoubtedly cause great inconvenience to people's daily lives. Utility Model Content

[0005] To improve the ease of use of trash cans, this application provides a trash can with a foot-operated opening function.

[0006] This application provides a trash can with a foot-operated opening function, employing the following technical solution:

[0007] A trash can with a foot-operated opening function includes a can body with several partitions dividing the can body into several chambers. Each chamber has a corresponding cover. A pushing component is provided inside the can body to move the cover and open the chamber. A rotating rod is provided inside the chamber, and a moving rod is fixedly attached to the upper end of the rotating rod. The moving rod corresponds to a cover and is fixedly connected to the corresponding cover. A slider is fixedly attached to the upper end of the cover and slides horizontally against the inner wall of the can body. A gear is fixedly attached to the lower end of the rotating rod. A rack corresponding to the gear is provided inside the chamber and meshes with the gear. A pedal is fixedly attached to one side of the rack and slides vertically against the can body. An elastic element is fixed between the pedal and the inner wall of the chamber and is used to push the pedal to move vertically.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the partition divides the bin into multiple chambers, facilitating the classified storage of garbage. Each chamber is equipped with a cover to prevent garbage spillage or scattering, while also reducing the probability of accidental contact by children or pets. When a person approaches the bin, the push assembly activates to open the cover. If the push assembly fails to activate due to special circumstances, pressing the pedal lowers the pedal, causing the rack to descend. The rack descends, causing gear 1 to rotate, which in turn rotates the rotating rod, which in turn rotates the moving rod. The moving rod then rotates the cover, which slides laterally under the action of the slider, opening the chamber and allowing garbage to enter. After the garbage is inside, the elastic element resets the pedal, causing the cover to move and close the corresponding chamber, thus improving the ease of use of the garbage bin.

[0009] Optionally, the actuation assembly includes a motor, a connecting rod, several gears 2, several gears 3, and a sensor. The motor is fixed to the outside of the housing. The connecting rod is coaxially fixed to the motor. Several gears 2 are evenly distributed along the length of the connecting rod, and the connecting rod is fixedly connected to all gears 2. Each gear 3 corresponds to a rotating rod. The gear 3 is fixed to the upper end of the rotating rod and meshes with gears 2. The sensor is fixed to the upper end of the housing and is used to control the operation of the motor.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the sensor detects a person approaching the bin, the motor starts and drives the connecting rod to rotate. The rotation of the connecting rod drives the second gear to rotate, the rotation of the second gear drives the third gear to rotate, the rotation of the third gear drives the rotating rod to rotate, the rotation of the rotating rod drives the moving rod to rotate, and the rotation of the moving rod drives the cover to move, thus opening the chamber and realizing the automatic opening of the cover, improving the convenience of using the trash can.

[0011] Optionally, a pull rod is fixed to one side of the pedal. The pull rod is vertically positioned, and a ring is fixed to the upper end of the pull rod. A connecting rod is sleeved inside the ring and rotatably connected to the ring.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, pressing down on the pedal causes the pedal to move downwards, which in turn causes the pull rod to move downwards. The pull rod then moves downwards, causing the ring to move downwards, which in turn causes the connecting rod to move downwards, thus separating gear three from gear two. This reduces the probability of the motor locking up during a power outage, which could damage the internal transmission structure of the electric actuator, such as the motor, and improves the service life of the motor.

[0013] Optionally, several fixed plates are fixed inside the box, with each fixed plate corresponding to a gear. A telescopic rod is provided between the fixed plate and the connecting rod. The telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the fixed plate and rotatably connected to the connecting rod. The telescopic rod is used to drive the connecting rod to move vertically.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, pressing the pedal causes the lowering rod to move downward, which in turn moves the connecting rod downward, causing gear two and gear three to separate. After the pedal is no longer pressed, the telescopic rod drives the connecting rod to reset, allowing gear two and gear three to mesh again, thus improving the stability of the device.

[0015] Optionally, the telescopic rod includes an upper rod, a lower rod, and a second elastic element. The upper rod is fixed to the side of the fixed plate near the connecting rod, and the lower rod is located at the lower end of the upper rod. The upper rod is inserted into the lower rod, and the lower rod is rotatably connected to the connecting rod. The second elastic element is fixed between the upper rod and the lower rod, and the second elastic element is used to push the lower rod to move laterally.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the plug-in connection between the upper and lower rods realizes the telescopic function, adapts to the length change of the connecting rod during vertical movement, and ensures the flexibility and stability of the overall structure. The setting of the second elastic element provides the lower rod with the thrust for lateral movement, which is conducive to automatic reset after the connecting rod is subjected to force, thus improving the reliability of the device.

[0017] Optionally, each chamber is equipped with a trash can, with several water-permeable holes at the bottom of the trash can, and a corresponding water collection box at the bottom of the trash can. The water collection box is slidably connected to the chamber along the width of the chamber, and a handle is fixed to the outside of the water collection box.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a water-permeable hole is opened at the bottom of the trash can to effectively drain the liquid generated in the trash, reduce the accumulation of liquid in the trash can that leads to odor and bacterial growth, and collect the liquid flowing out of the water-permeable hole to keep the bottom of the trash can dry and hygienic. The water-permeable box is slidably connected to the body and equipped with a handle, which makes it easy for users to remove and clean it regularly, improving the convenience of use.

[0019] Optionally, a vent is provided at the upper end of the box, and a filter screen is provided at the vent. The filter screen is detachably connected to the inner wall of the box.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, a ventilation opening is provided at the upper part of the garbage bin to promote air circulation inside the bin and effectively reduce the accumulation of odors. A filter screen is installed at the ventilation opening to prevent external impurities from entering the bin, maintaining a clean internal environment. The filter screen is detachably connected to the inner wall of the bin, allowing users to easily clean or replace it regularly to ensure continuous and effective ventilation.

[0021] Optionally, two ashtrays are fixed on the outside of the box, located at both ends of the box, and the ashtrays are filled with extinguishing sand.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solutions, the two ashtrays effectively solve the problem of smokers carelessly discarding cigarette butts, reduce fire hazards, and maintain environmental cleanliness. The setting of cigarette extinguishing sand further enhances safety and ensures that cigarette butts can be completely extinguished.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. When the push assembly fails to start due to special circumstances, pressing the pedal causes the pedal to descend, which in turn causes the rack to descend. The rack descends, which in turn causes the gear to rotate. The gear rotates, which in turn causes the rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod rotates, which in turn causes the moving rod to rotate. The moving rod rotates, which causes the cover to rotate. Under the action of the slider, the cover slides laterally, opening the chamber and sending the garbage into the chamber. After the garbage is sent into the chamber, the elastic element causes the pedal to reset. The reset pedal causes the cover to move and close the corresponding chamber, improving the convenience of using the garbage bin.

[0025] 2. The downward movement of the ring causes the connecting rod to move downward, separating gear three from gear two, reducing the probability of the motor locking up during a power outage and damaging the internal transmission structure of the electric actuator, such as the motor, and improving the service life of the motor;

[0026] 3. The water collection box collects the liquid flowing out of the water holes, keeping the bottom of the trash can dry and hygienic. The water collection box is slidably connected to the body and is equipped with a handle, making it easy for users to remove and clean it regularly, improving ease of use.

[0031] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.

[0032] This application discloses a trash can with a foot-operated opening function. Example

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A trash can with a foot-operated opening function includes a body 1. The body 1 has several partitions 11 dividing it into several chambers 111 for easy sorting and storage of trash. Each chamber 111 contains a trash can 15. The lower end of each trash can 15 has several drainage holes 151 and a corresponding water collection box 152. The water collection box 152 is slidably connected to the body 1 along its width. Trash enters the trash can 15 through the openings of the chambers 111, and liquid within the trash flows through the drainage holes 151 to the water collection box 152, effectively draining the liquid and reducing the probability of liquid accumulation in the trash can 15 leading to odors and bacterial growth, thus keeping the bottom of the trash can 15 dry. A handle 153 is fixed to the outside of the water collection box 152, allowing the user to easily pull and remove it for regular cleaning, improving usability.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The chamber 111 is equipped with a corresponding cover plate 13 to reduce the overflow or scattering of garbage from inside and outside the garbage bin, and at the same time reduce the probability of pets accidentally touching the garbage. The bin body 1 is equipped with a push assembly 12, which includes a motor 121, a connecting rod 122, several gears 123, several gears 125 and a sensor 124. The sensor 124 is fixed to the outside of the bin body 1, the motor 121 is fixed to the outside of the bin body 1, and the connecting rod 122 is coaxially fixed with the motor 121. When the sensor 124 detects a human body approaching the bin body 1, the motor 121 starts and drives the connecting rod 122 to rotate. Several gears 123 are evenly distributed along the length of the connecting rod 122, and the connecting rod 122 is fixedly connected to all gears 123. The rotation of the connecting rod 122 drives all gears 123 to rotate. Gears 123 mesh with gears 125, and the rotation of gears 123 drives the rotation of gears 125.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A rotating rod 132 is provided inside the chamber 111. The rotating rod 132 is rotatably connected to the box body 1. A gear 125 corresponds one-to-one with the rotating rod 132, and the gear 125 is fixed to the upper end of the rotating rod 132. The rotation of the gear 125 drives the rotating rod 132 to rotate. A moving rod 131 is fixed to the upper end of the rotating rod 132. The rotation of the rotating rod 132 drives the moving rod 131 to rotate. The end of the moving rod 131 away from the rotating rod 132 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 13. The rotation of the moving rod 131 causes the cover plate 13 to rotate. A slider is fixed to the upper end of the cover plate 13. The slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the box body 1 in the lateral direction. Under the action of the slider, the cover plate 13 slides in the lateral direction, causing the chamber 111 to open, realizing the automatic opening and closing of the cover plate 13, reducing the inconvenience of manual opening and closing, and improving the convenience and intelligence of the garbage bin.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A gear 123 is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the rotating rod 132. A corresponding rack 138 is provided on one side of the gear 123. The gear 123 meshes with the rack 138. A pedal 135 is fixedly mounted on the side of the rack 138 away from the gear 133. The pedal 135 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the bin 1 in a vertical direction. When the motor 121 is powered off or damaged, pressing the pedal 135 downward will cause the rack 138 to move downward, which in turn will cause the gear 133 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 133 will cause the rotating rod 132 to rotate, thus opening the cover 13. This allows the garbage bin to continue operating even when the pushing assembly 12 is powered off or damaged. An elastic element 134 is fixedly mounted between the pedal 135 and the inner wall of the chamber 111. When garbage is placed in the garbage bin, the elastic element 134 pushes the pedal 135 back to its original position, which in turn closes the cover 13, improving the convenience of using the garbage bin.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A pull rod 136 is fixedly installed on one side of the pedal 135. The pull rod 136 is vertically installed. Pressing the pedal 135 downwards causes the pull rod 136 to move downwards. A ring 137 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the pull rod 136. The downward movement of the pull rod 136 causes the ring 137 to move downwards. The connecting rod 122 is sleeved in the ring 137 and is rotatably connected to the ring 137. The downward movement of the ring 137 causes the connecting rod 122 to move downwards, so that the gear 3 125 separates from the gear 2 123. This reduces the probability of damage to the internal transmission structure of the electric actuator, such as the motor 121, caused by the motor 121 locking up during a power outage and the gear 3 125 driving the gear 2 123 to rotate. This improves the service life of the motor 121.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The housing 1 is fixed with a fixed plate 14 corresponding to gear 123. The lower end of the fixed plate 14 is fixed with an upper rod 141. The end of the upper rod 141 away from the fixed plate 14 is provided with a lower rod 142. The upper rod 141 is inserted into the lower rod 142, and the lower rod 142 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 122, realizing the telescopic function and adapting to the length change of the connecting rod 122 when it moves vertically, which is beneficial to improving the flexibility of the structure. The elastic element 143 is fixed between the upper rod 141 and the lower rod 142. The elastic element 143 provides the lower rod 142 with the thrust for lateral movement, which is beneficial to the automatic reset when the connecting rod 122 is no longer under force, so that gear 123 and gear 125 can mesh again, improving the reliability of the device.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 The upper part of the housing 1 has a vent 16 to promote air circulation inside the housing 1 and effectively reduce the accumulation of odors inside the housing 1. A filter 161 is installed at the vent 16. The filter 161 reduces the probability of external impurities entering the housing 1 and keeps the environment inside the housing 1 clean. The filter 161 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, which is convenient for users to clean or replace the filter 161 regularly to ensure that the ventilation effect is continuously good.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 Two ashtrays 17 are fixed on the outside of the bin 1. The two ashtrays 17 are located at both ends of the bin 1, which makes it convenient for smokers to discard cigarette butts. The ashtrays 17 are filled with extinguishing sand to ensure that cigarette butts are extinguished, reduce fire hazards, and improve the safety of the trash can.

[0041] The implementation principle of a trash can with a foot-operated opening function in this application embodiment is as follows: When the sensor 124 detects a human body approaching the can body 1, the motor 121 starts and drives the connecting rod 122 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting rod 122 drives the second gear 123 to rotate, the rotation of the second gear 123 drives the third gear 125 to rotate, the rotation of the third gear 125 drives the rotating rod 132 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating rod 132 drives the moving rod 131 to rotate, thus opening the cover 13. When the motor 121 fails to start due to power failure, the pedal 135 is pressed down. The pedal 135 moves down and drives the rack 138 to move down. At the same time, the second gear 123 and the third gear 125 no longer mesh, reducing the damage to the internal structure of the motor 121 caused by the subsequent rotation of the third gear 125. The rack 138 drives the first gear 133 to rotate, and the rotation of the first gear 133 drives the rotating rod 132 to rotate, opening the cover 13 and improving the convenience of using the trash can.

[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
