Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of green trash can technology, specifically a green trash can that can be sorted and stored. Background Technology
[0002] Kitchen waste is a common and voluminous type of waste. Currently, the general practice for handling kitchen waste is for municipal departments to set up kitchen waste bins at designated locations. Residents throw their kitchen waste into the bins, and then municipal staff collect the waste from the bins for centralized processing every so often.
[0003] When municipal workers collect garbage from trash cans, they generally use specialized garbage trucks. These trucks lift and rotate the trash cans to empty the garbage into the truck. However, for food waste, due to its high liquid content, the liquid tends to settle at the bottom of the trash can after a period of time. When collecting food waste using a garbage truck, this sediment is highly likely to spill. Therefore, we have proposed a green, sortable trash can to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a green trash can that can be sorted and stored, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a green trash can that can be sorted and stored, including a trash can, with T-shaped grooves on both sides of the inner wall of the trash can, and a sorting structure inside the trash can.
[0006] The classification structure is used to classify wet waste and liquids inside the trash can.
[0007] Furthermore, the classification structure includes two T-shaped slides, the outer walls of which are slidably connected to the inside of a T-shaped groove. A V-shaped classification plate is fixedly installed on one side of the top of each T-shaped slide, and a partition plate is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of each T-shaped slide. A through hole is provided at the center of the upper surface of the partition plate, and a number of filter holes are arranged in a matrix on the upper surface of the V-shaped classification plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the classification structure also includes a magnetic component, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the T-shaped slide plate. The bottom of the magnetic component is magnetically connected to an electromagnet. A Velcro closure is fixedly installed at the top of the T-shaped slide plate, and a Velcro closure is attached to the top of the Velcro closure. A filter cloth is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the Velcro closure.
[0009] Furthermore, the sorting structure also includes a hydraulic cylinder, which is fixedly installed at the bottom center of the V-shaped sorting plate. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder passes through the interior of the through hole, and a rubber plug is fixedly installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0010] Furthermore, a pin seat is fixedly installed on the top left side of the trash can, and a lid is movably installed inside the pin seat via a pin shaft. A pulley is fixedly installed on the left side of the trash can, and a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the right side of the trash can. A rubber stopper is movably installed inside the drain pipe.
[0011] Furthermore, the interior of the through hole is adapted to the outer wall of the rubber plug, the filter cloth is located above the V-shaped sorting plate, the electromagnet is fixedly installed inside the T-shaped slide groove, and the outer walls of the V-shaped sorting plate and the separator plate are movably connected to the interior of the trash can through the T-shaped sliding plate.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This green, categorized trash can works by allowing kitchen waste to settle after being poured in. The liquid gradually separates from the solid waste over time. The liquid flows through the filter cloth and the holes in the V-shaped sorting plate into the divider, and then through the through-holes to the bottom of the inner wall of the trash can. When the garbage truck collects the trash can, its lifting mechanism raises it and tilts it to the left. During this process, the solid kitchen waste inside the trash can is emptied first. Once the trash can is completely tilted, the hydraulic cylinder is activated. The hydraulic cylinder, through its output end, moves the rubber stopper upwards, sealing the through-holes. Then, the sediment inside the trash can is drained out through the drain pipe by opening the second rubber stopper. This prevents any spillage of sediment during the entire trash disposal process.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 A green trash can for sorting and storing trash includes a trash can 1, with T-shaped grooves 2 on both sides of the inner wall of the trash can 1, and a sorting structure 3 inside the trash can 1.
[0023] The classification structure 3 is used to classify wet waste and liquids inside the trash can 1.
[0024] Reference Figures 2-5 As shown, the classification structure 3 includes a T-shaped slide plate 31. There are two T-shaped slide plates 31. The outer walls of the two T-shaped slide plates 31 are slidably connected to the inside of the T-shaped slide groove 2. A V-shaped classification plate 32 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the T-shaped slide plate 31. A partition plate 33 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the two T-shaped slide plates 31. A through hole 34 is opened at the center of the upper surface of the partition plate 33. A number of filter holes 310 are arranged in a matrix on the upper surface of the V-shaped classification plate 32.
[0025] In this embodiment, after the kitchen waste is poured into the garbage bin 1, the liquid gradually separates from the solid after a period of settling. At this time, the liquid flows into the separator plate 33 through the filter cloth 39 and the filter holes 310 on the V-shaped sorting plate 32, and then flows into the bottom of the inner wall of the garbage bin 1 through the through hole 34. Afterwards, when the garbage truck collects the garbage bin, the lifting mechanism of the garbage truck lifts the garbage bin and tilts it to the left. During this process, the solid kitchen waste inside the garbage bin 1 will be poured out first until the bin 1 is completely tilted. At the same time, the hydraulic cylinder 311 is activated. The hydraulic cylinder 311 drives the rubber plug 312 to move upward through the output end, so that the rubber plug 312 enters the through hole 34 to seal it. Then, the sediment inside the garbage bin 1 is discharged from the inside of the drain pipe 7 by opening the rubber plug 8. During the entire garbage dumping process, the sediment will not spill again, which plays a role in preventing the sediment from spilling.
[0026] Reference Figures 3-5 As shown, the classification structure 3 also includes a magnetic component 35, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the T-shaped slide plate 31. The bottom of the magnetic component 35 is magnetically connected to the electromagnet 36. A Velcro 37 is fixedly installed at the top of the T-shaped slide plate 31. A Velcro 38 is attached to the top of the Velcro 37. A filter cloth 39 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the Velcro 38.
[0027] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to disassemble and clean the inside of the trash can 1, the electromagnet 36 is de-energized to quickly demagnetize it, and then the sorting structure 3 can be directly taken out for cleaning. The operation is simple and convenient. At the same time, the filter cloth 39 can also be directly disassembled.
[0028] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the classification structure 3 also includes a hydraulic cylinder 311, which is fixedly installed at the bottom center of the V-shaped classification plate 32. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 311 passes through the interior of the through hole 34, and a rubber plug 312 is fixedly installed on the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 311.
[0029] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to seal the through hole 34, the hydraulic cylinder 311 is activated. The hydraulic cylinder 311 drives the rubber plug 312 to move upward through the output end, so that the rubber plug 312 enters the interior of the through hole 34 for sealing. This can prevent the sediment at the bottom of the inner wall of the garbage can 1 from accidentally spilling when the garbage truck is used to collect kitchen waste, which could easily cause environmental pollution.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a pin seat 4 is fixedly installed on the top left side of the trash can 1. The lid 5 is movably installed inside the pin seat 4 via a pin shaft. A pulley 6 is fixedly installed on the left side of the trash can 1. A drain pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the right side of the trash can 1. A rubber stopper 8 is movably installed inside the drain pipe 7.
[0031] Reference Figures 2-5 As shown, the interior of the through hole 34 is adapted to the outer wall of the rubber plug 312, the filter cloth 39 is located above the V-shaped sorting plate 32, the electromagnet 36 is fixedly installed inside the T-shaped slide 2, and the outer walls of the V-shaped sorting plate 32 and the separator plate 33 are movably connected to the interior of the trash can 1 through the T-shaped sliding plate 31.
[0032] In this embodiment, the hydraulic cylinder 311 is a single-piston hydraulic cylinder. That is, the inlet and outlet of the hydraulic cylinder 311 are connected to one side of the external liquid reversing valve through oil pressure pipes, and the other side of the external liquid reversing valve is connected to the inlet and outlet of the hydraulic pump through oil pressure pipes, thereby controlling the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 311 to move up and down.
[0033] During use, after the kitchen waste is poured into the garbage bin 1, the liquid gradually separates from the solid after a period of settling. At this time, the liquid flows into the separator plate 33 through the filter cloth 39 and the filter holes 310 on the V-shaped sorting plate 32, and then flows into the bottom of the inner wall of the garbage bin 1 through the through hole 34. Afterwards, when the garbage truck collects the garbage bin, the lifting mechanism of the garbage truck lifts the garbage bin and tilts it to the left. During this process, the solid kitchen waste inside the garbage bin 1 will be poured out first until the bin 1 is completely tilted. At the same time, the hydraulic cylinder 311 is activated. The hydraulic cylinder 311 drives the rubber plug 312 to move upward through the output end, so that the rubber plug 312 enters the through hole 34 to seal it. Then, the sediment inside the garbage bin 1 is discharged from the inside of the drain pipe 7 by opening the rubber plug 8. During the entire garbage dumping process, no sediment spillage will occur, which plays a role in preventing sediment spillage.
