Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of easy-to-use classified garbage bins, and in particular to an easy-to-use classified garbage bin. Background Technology

[0002] Easy-to-use recycling bins are an innovative waste sorting and collection system, primarily designed for use in urban public areas such as streets, parks, and commercial districts, to improve waste collection efficiency, reduce ground space occupation, and enhance urban aesthetics and environmental sanitation.

[0003] During the use of the existing convenient recycling bins, staff found that although the existing bins have the recycling bins embedded in the main body, the limiting mechanism of the recycling bins in the traditional structure is not stable enough to facilitate users' garbage disposal, and the opening operation is not very convenient, which makes it difficult to meet the humanized sanitation needs of modern cities. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a convenient and easy-to-use classified garbage bin.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a convenient-to-use classified garbage bin, including a main body, a supporting plate slidably connected in the main body, two lifting drive cylinders fixedly connected in the main body, the piston rods of the lifting drive cylinders fixedly connected to the supporting plate, four support columns fixedly connected in the supporting plate, ground cover plates fixedly connected to the four support columns, several classified storage bins provided on the supporting plate, and an opening adjustment assembly provided on the ground cover plate, the opening adjustment assembly mainly consisting of three feeding ports, all three feeding ports being opened on the ground cover plate, a sliding rail being provided in the feeding port, and a sliding cover plate slidably connected in the sliding rail.

[0006] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is as follows: the main body is installed underground, and three classified storage bins are placed on the support plate. At the same time, two lifting drive cylinders are activated to drive the support plate down, so that the three classified storage bins are stored in the main body. At this time, the ground cover is flush with the ground. Users can slide open the sliding cover and put the garbage into the classified storage bins through the feeding port. This avoids the situation where the current convenient classified garbage bins, although the classified storage bins are buried underground, still have tall cylinders above the ground for the convenience of users to throw garbage, which wastes ground space.

[0007] Preferably, a transmission rack is fixedly connected to the sliding cover plate, and a drive gear is meshed on the transmission rack. The drive gear is rotatably connected to the ground cover plate.

[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is that the user can use their foot to rotate the drive gear, which drives the transmission rack to slide, allowing the sliding cover to open, thus improving the ease of operation.

[0009] Preferably, a return spring is fixedly connected to the sliding cover plate, and one end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding track.

[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when the user opens the sliding cover, the return spring will be squeezed and contracted. Therefore, after the user throws away the garbage, he / she releases the drive gear, and the sliding cover will cover the feeding port under the action of the return spring's rebound force, making the operation more convenient.

[0011] Preferably, three guide signs are fixedly connected to the ground cover plate.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that the guide markings can be pointed, making it convenient for users to rotate the drive gear correctly.

[0013] Preferably, the three classified storage boxes are provided with a positioning and limiting component, which mainly consists of three lifting handles. The three lifting handles are respectively fixedly connected to the three classified storage boxes. Four movable rollers are rotatably connected to the classified storage boxes, and several limiting slide rails are fixedly connected to the support plate.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that staff can move the classified storage boxes by pulling the lifting handle, and slide the moving rollers into the limiting slide rail to limit the classified storage boxes.

[0015] Preferably, the classified storage box has a limiting slot, a locking rod is slidably connected in the limiting slot, and three positioning recesses are provided on the ground cover plate.

[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is that the locking rod can be inserted into the corresponding positioning recess to limit the positioning of the classified storage box.

[0017] Preferably, a control slider is slidably connected in the limiting slot, and the control slider is fixedly connected to the locking rod.

[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is that the operator can move the locking rod by sliding the slider, making the operation more convenient.

[0019] Preferably, an elastic abutment is fixedly connected to the control slider, and one end of the elastic abutment is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting slot.

[0020] The effect achieved by the above components is that when the locking rod is stuck in the positioning recess, the elastic abutment is in a contracted state, so the rebound force of the elastic abutment acts on the control slider, making the limit more stable.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting an opening adjustment component, the main body is installed underground, and then three classified storage boxes are placed on the support plate. At the same time, two lifting drive cylinders are activated to drive the support plate to descend, so that the three classified storage boxes are stored in the main body. At this time, the ground cover is flush with the ground, and the user can slide open the sliding cover and put the garbage into the classified storage box through the feeding port. This avoids the situation where the current convenient classified garbage bins, although the classified storage boxes are buried underground, still have a tall cylinder above the ground for the convenience of users to throw garbage, which wastes ground space.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the user-friendly waste sorting bin includes a main body 1, which is a rectangular steel structure embedded in an underground concrete base. The support plate 2 is a horizontally positioned metal plate, slidably connected to the inner wall of the main body 1 via a bottom slide rail. Two lifting drive cylinders 3, preferably electric hydraulic cylinders, are vertically fixed to the bottom of the main body 1, with the piston rod tops fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support plate 2 via flanges, thus achieving the lifting drive of the support plate 2.

[0028] Four stainless steel support columns 4 are vertically fixed to the four corners of the top surface of the support plate 2, and the top ends are fixed to the ground cover plate 5 by bolts. The ground cover plate 5 is a non-slip metal plate flush with the ground, and waterproof rubber strips are set on the edges. There are three classified storage boxes 6, which are placed on the top surface of the support plate 2 for recyclables, kitchen waste and other waste respectively. They are slidably engaged with the limiting rails 83 on the support plate 2 by the bottom moving rollers 82.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the operating principle of the opening adjustment component 7 is as follows: Three rectangular feeding ports 71 are opened on the ground cover plate 5, corresponding to the top of the three classified storage boxes 6 respectively. Sliding rails 72 are opened on both sides of the inner wall of each feeding port 71, and the sliding cover plate 73 is slidably connected to the sliding rail 72 through built-in pulleys.

[0030] Activation: The user rotates the drive gear 75, which is located on the edge of the ground cover 5 and has an anti-slip texture, by stepping on it. The gear 75 meshes with the transmission rack 74, causing the sliding cover 73 to slide to one side, exposing the feeding port 71. At this time, the return spring 76 is compressed and stretched to store energy.

[0031] Closing operation: After releasing gear 75, the return spring 76 rebounds and pushes the sliding cover 73 to automatically close the feeding port 71, preventing odors from escaping and rainwater from entering.

[0032] The directional sign 77 is an arrow-shaped protrusion marked on the ground cover plate 5, indicating the rotation direction of the gear 75, such as "clockwise opening", to improve ease of operation.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, the structure and function of the positioning and limiting component 8 are as follows: Each classified storage box 6 has a fixed lifting handle 81 on its side and four moving rollers 82 with brake pads installed at the bottom corners. The rollers 82 cooperate with the limiting slide rails 83 of the support plate 2 to realize the linear movement and lateral limiting of the storage box.

[0034] Primary limit: When the storage box is pushed into the main box 1, the roller 82 slides along the limit rail 83 to ensure that the box is aligned with the feeding port 71.

[0035] Locking Limit: A limiting slot 84 is provided on the top of the storage box, with a built-in locking rod 85, one end of which is fixedly connected to the control slider 87 via a pin. A positioning recess 86 is provided at the corresponding position on the ground cover plate 5. When the storage box is in place, press down on the control slider 87, the locking rod 85 is inserted into the positioning recess 86, and at the same time, the elastic abutment 88 compression spring is compressed, maintaining the locked state through the spring force. To disassemble, pull up on the control slider 87, the spring returns to its original position, causing the rod to disengage from the recess, and the storage box can be pulled out.

[0036] Installation and initialization of the entire device: The main housing 1 is pre-buried underground, and the power supply to the lifting drive cylinder 3 is connected. By pulling the handle 81, the classified storage box 6 is pushed into the support plate 2 along the limiting slide rail 83, and the locking rod 85 is engaged with the positioning recess 86 to complete the limiting. The lifting drive cylinder 3 is started, and the support plate 2 descends to the bottom of the main housing 1, and the ground cover 5 is flush with the ground.

[0037] In actual use, garbage disposal and maintenance: The user rotates the drive gear 75 according to the guide sign 77 to open the sliding cover 73 of the corresponding feeding port 71, which will automatically close after garbage is disposed of.

[0038] Activate the lifting drive cylinder 3 to raise the support plate 2 to ground level. Unlock the locking rod 85 and pull out the sorting storage bin 6 using the handle 81 to empty and clean the waste. Reset the storage bin, lock it again, and then lower the support plate 2.

[0039] Working principle explained in stages:

[0040] S1. Main box positioning: The main box 1 is pre-embedded in the designated underground position, with its top flush with the ground, and fixed by concrete pouring.

[0041] S2. Installation of the support plate and storage bins: Slide the support plate 2 into the main body 1 via the bottom slide rail, ensuring smooth sliding. Place the three classified storage bins 6 on the support plate 2, corresponding to different waste categories. Through the cooperation of the moving rollers 82 and the limiting slide rails 83, push the storage bins into the designated positions. The rollers slide along the slide rails to achieve lateral limiting.

[0042] S3. Lifting Drive and Cover Positioning: Activate the two lifting drive cylinders 3, and the piston rods retract to lower the support plate 2 until the classified storage box 6 is completely stored inside the main box 1. The ground cover 5 is fixedly connected to the support plate 2 through the support column 4, and after the support plate lowers, it is flush with the ground to form a flat surface.

[0043] S4. Feeding Port Opening: Following the direction indicated by the arrow on guide sign 77, the user rotates the drive gear 75, located at the edge of the ground cover plate, with an anti-slip design, using their foot. The drive gear 75 meshes with the transmission rack 74, causing the sliding cover 73 to slide to one side along the sliding track 72, opening the corresponding feeding port 71, such as the "Recyclable Material" feeding port. During the sliding process, the return spring 76, connecting the sliding cover and the inner wall of the track, is stretched, storing elastic potential energy.

[0044] S5. Waste Disposal and Automatic Closure: The user disposes of waste into the sorting storage bin 6 below through the open disposal port 71. After disposal, the user releases the drive gear 75, the return spring 76 releases its potential energy, and pushes the sliding cover 73 to automatically reset, closing the disposal port 71 to prevent odors from escaping and rainwater from entering.

[0045] S6. Storage Box Limiting and Fixing Stage: The categorized storage box 6 moves along the limiting slide rail 83 via the moving roller 82. The slide rail 83 restricts the lateral displacement of the categorized storage box 6, ensuring its precise alignment with the feeding port 71 of the ground cover 5. Once the storage box is in place, the operator slides the control slider 87 downwards, causing the locking rod 85 to extend from the limiting slot 84 and insert into the positioning recess 86 of the ground cover 5. The elastic abutment 88 compresses the spring located within the limiting slot 84. When the locking rod is inserted, the spring is compressed, and the spring force continuously abuts the control slider 87, ensuring a stable locking state. During maintenance, the control slider 87 is pulled upwards, compressing the elastic abutment 88 and disengaging the locking rod 85 from the positioning recess 86. The categorized storage box 6 can then be pulled out via the lifting handle 81.

[0046] S7. Maintenance and Cleaning Stage: Activate the lifting drive cylinder 3, extending the piston rod to push the support plate 2 up to ground level for easy operation by staff. Unlock the locking rod 85 and pull the sorting storage bin 6 along the limit slide rail 83 using the lifting handle 81. After emptying the garbage and cleaning, push it back into its original position to lock it. Activate the lifting drive cylinder 3 again to lower the support plate to the ground.
