Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste bin technology, and more specifically to a waste bin with automatic bottom unloading. Background Technology

[0002] Product manufacturing generates a lot of waste, which is usually collected using waste bins, saving space and facilitating handling. For example, the production of glass products produces broken glass waste, which can be collected and recycled to reduce production costs. For instance, Chinese Patent Application No. 2023101070481 discloses a waste storage and transfer box that facilitates the disposal of waste.

[0003] The following problems still exist when using waste bins:

[0004] 1. The waste disposal requires a lot of manpower, resulting in high labor intensity for workers. In addition, waste bins with open bottoms are not convenient for holding small pieces of waste, such as glass products. When the bottom of the waste bin is closed, waste may get stuck at the closure, and small pieces of waste may leak out through the gaps that are not closed, affecting the use of the waste bin and increasing the workload of cleaning.

[0005] 2. The tipping opening of the waste bin is not easy to adjust. When the opening is too large and the material is too small, the area of ​​waste dumped will be too large, increasing the difficulty of recycling and cleaning. When the opening is too small and the material is too large, it will increase the time for dumping waste. At the same time, when the bottom opening is too large, the opening will come into contact with the ground, causing wear on the opening and affecting the service life of the waste bin.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a waste bin with automatic bottom unloading to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a waste bin with automatic bottom unloading, which prevents leakage of small materials, prevents friction between the bottom and the ground when pouring materials, and adjusts according to the material conditions.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A waste bin with automatic bottom unloading includes a frame and an outer shell. The frame has a bottom plate at its bottom, with the longest side of the bottom plate rotatably connected to the frame. A reinforcing frame is connected to the bottom of the bottom plate, and support legs are connected to the four corners of the bottom of the reinforcing frame. A through pipe is connected to the frame near the bottom, and both ends of the through pipe are connected to the outer shell. The bottom of the outer shell is connected to a perimeter extending beyond the reinforcing frame. A connecting rope is connected between the top of the bottom plate and the outer wall of the through pipe.

[0010] Preferably, to adapt to different material conditions, a fixing frame is provided on one side of the outer wall of the tube, and the two ends of the fixing frame are provided with bending parts, which are connected to the fixing frame. A sliding groove is provided inside the fixing frame, and a threaded column is slidably connected in the sliding groove. An inner baffle is connected to the end of the threaded column near the tube, and an outer baffle and a nut are fitted on the threaded column. The outer baffle is located at the end near the inner baffle, and one end of the connecting rope is connected to the outer baffle.

[0011] Preferably, in order to facilitate positioning, the end of the fixing frame away from the through pipe is provided with positioning holes that are equally spaced apart. The positioning holes are arranged parallel to the sliding groove, and the outer baffle is provided with a boss corresponding to the positioning holes.

[0012] Preferably, in order to improve the strength when pouring materials, the inside of the through pipe is connected with U-shaped steel.

[0013] Preferably, in order to improve strength during handling, the reinforcing frame is connected with reinforcing ribs.

[0014] Preferably, in order to improve the strength during use, the bottom of the longest side of the reinforcing frame is connected to a support leg located in the middle.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This device has a perimeter around the bottom of the outer shell, which can block the gap between the bottom plate and the frame. When waste material gets stuck at the closure, it can prevent the leakage of small waste materials and reduce the labor intensity of workers.

[0017] 2. This device has a connecting rope between the frame and the base plate, which limits the opening angle of the base plate and prevents friction with the ground during material pouring, reducing wear and tear. At the same time, the size of the opening can be adjusted to adjust the pouring according to the size of the material. When the material is large, the larger opening can prevent waste blockage and increase the discharge time; when the material is small, the smaller opening can confine the waste to a smaller area, making it easier for workers to clean up.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] In this case, the selection of materials, heat treatment processes, and structural dimensions of conventional and critical load-bearing components all conform to standards. The existing material properties are all suitable for use under this condition, ensuring sufficient strength, stiffness, and fatigue resistance under rated load and expected operating conditions, such as springs. These are all conventional design considerations well known to those skilled in the art.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-7A waste bin with automatic bottom unloading includes a frame 101 and an outer shell 102. The outer shell 102 is fitted over the frame 101 and is used to hold materials. The frame 101 has a bottom plate 103 at the bottom. The longest side of the bottom plate 103 is rotatably connected to the frame 101. The longest side of the bottom of the frame 101 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 103. If a hinge is used for rotatable connection, the other three sides are not connected to the bottom plate 103. To enhance strength under load, a reinforcing frame 104 is connected to the bottom of the base plate 103. Support legs 105 are connected to the four corners of the bottom of the reinforcing frame 104. The support legs 105 are located at the four corners and will not affect handling. A through pipe 106 is connected to the frame 101 near the bottom. The two ends of the through pipe 106 are connected to the outer shell 102. The through pipe 106 is larger than the forklift forks so that the forks can be inserted smoothly. The bottom of the outer shell 102 is connected to a perimeter 107 that extends beyond the reinforcing frame 104. The perimeter 107 is located on the two shorter sides of the bottom of the frame 101 and the side away from the rotation axis. A connecting rope 108 is connected between the top of the base plate 103 and the outer wall of the through pipe 106 to prevent the opening from being too large when pouring materials, which would cause the base plate 103 to rub against the ground. It also limits the pouring area of ​​materials.

[0030] Traditionally, the base plate 103 simply covers the bottom of the container. Because materials cannot be completely poured out, residual material may become stuck at the closure. Since the material is small and difficult to detect, only a small gap remains. When filling the container, small particles, such as shards of glass, can leak out through this gap. This application provides edging 107 on three sides of the base plate 103. When there is material extending beyond the opening, closing the base plate 103 will cause the edging 107 to contact the material, preventing the frame 101 and base plate 103 from closing completely. This alerts the user to clean the area and prevents material leakage. When there is no material extending beyond the opening, the edging 107 has a certain length, creating a perpendicular bend between the surface and side of the base plate 103, which blocks any leaks and prevents the leakage of small particles. Furthermore, since the gap between the edging 107 and the base plate 103 remains unchanged, the leak-proof effect is enhanced. It should be noted that there is still a gap between the edge 107 and the base plate 103, and a small amount of debris may still leak out.

[0031] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6To accommodate different material conditions, a fixing frame 109 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the through pipe 106. Both ends of the fixing frame 109 have bent portions 110 connected to it, ensuring that the middle position of the fixing frame 109 does not contact the through pipe 106, facilitating the movement of the inner baffle 113 within the gap. A sliding groove 111 is provided inside the fixing frame 109, and a threaded post 112 is slidably connected within the sliding groove 111. Within the sliding groove 111, the opening and closing size of the base plate 103 is adjusted. An inner baffle 113 is connected to the end of the threaded post 112 near the through pipe 106. An outer baffle 114 and a nut 115 are fitted onto the threaded post 112. The position of the connecting rope 108 is fixed by the clamping action of the inner baffle 113 and the outer baffle 114 on the fixing frame 109. The outer baffle 114 is located near the inner baffle 113, and one end of the connecting rope 108 is connected to the outer baffle 114. This allows for adjustment of the opening and closing size of the base plate 103 according to usage.

[0032] Traditional bottom plates (103) cannot be adjusted in size to suit different usage scenarios. Furthermore, the lack of a limiting structure leads to friction between one end of the bottom plate (103) and the ground, causing wear and tear on the bottom plate and other components. In contrast, this application not only features a limiting structure but also allows for easy adjustment of the opening size. When the material is too large, the opening can be enlarged to prevent accumulation and increase unloading speed; when the material is too small, the opening can be reduced to confine the material to a specific area, facilitating cleaning. Simultaneously, it interacts with the leak-proof design to prevent leaks, reduce cleaning, minimize the unloading area during pouring, and reduce the cleaning workload, thus alleviating the labor intensity of workers.

[0033] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 To facilitate positioning, the end of the fixing frame 109 away from the through pipe 106 is provided with equally spaced positioning holes 116. The positioning holes 116 have a certain depth. In one embodiment, the positioning holes 116 are through-holes. The positioning holes 116 are parallel to the sliding groove 111. The outer baffle 114 is provided with a boss 117 corresponding to the positioning holes 116. When adjusting the opening and closing size of the base plate 103, the boss 117 on the outer baffle 114 is first inserted into the positioning hole 116, and then the nut 115 is tightened.

[0034] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4To improve the strength when dumping materials, a U-shaped steel 118 is connected inside the through pipe 106. When dumping materials, the frame 101 needs to be lifted upwards. Since the force of the forks will act on the end of the through pipe 106 near the rotating shaft, it is easy to cause deformation or damage to one end of the through pipe 106. Moreover, it is inconvenient to replace the through pipe 106 when it is damaged. By setting the U-shaped steel 118 inside, the force of lifting upwards can be applied to the entire through pipe 106, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity.

[0035] During handling, the forklift forks extend under the reinforcing frame 104 and lift it upwards. The weight of the material will press on the base plate 103 and the reinforcing frame 104. To improve the strength during handling, the reinforcing frame 104 is connected with reinforcing ribs to increase the strength.

[0036] refer to Figure 1 To improve strength during use, the longest side of the reinforcing frame 104 is connected to a support leg 105 located in the middle. When the forks are being moved, they will be inserted under the reinforcing frame 104 and also under the through pipe 106. The middle position will not affect the forks, so the support leg 105 is set in the middle position to improve the overall strength.

[0037] When in use, the entire unit is placed on the ground, with the interior used to store waste materials. Refer to the following guidelines for handling. Figure 7 The diagram on the left shows the entire unit being moved using a forklift; during unloading, refer to... Figure 7 As shown in the diagram on the right, the forklift first lowers the waste bin, then inserts it into the conduit 106 and lifts it upwards. At this point, the base plate 103 opens under the influence of gravity, and the waste inside pours out. The opening size can be adjusted by the position of the internal outer baffle 114.

[0038] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
