Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic bucket technology, specifically to a plastic bucket that is easy to unload. Background Technology

[0002] Plastic drums are containers made of plastic materials such as polyethylene (PE), primarily used for storing and transporting various liquids and solids. They have a wide range of applications, suitable for holding various liquids and solids. Open-top plastic drums are commonly used for storing solid chemicals, food, and pharmaceuticals, while closed-top plastic drums are mainly used for storing liquids. Furthermore, plastic drums are shockproof, drop-resistant, corrosion-resistant, have a long service life, and are easy to clean and maintain.

[0003] The prior art disclosure number CN216003691 U discloses a convenient plastic bucket for pouring oil, including a bucket body, a bucket lid, and a bottle cap; the bucket lid covers the top of the bucket body; a filter element is provided at the inner bottom of the bucket lid, and movable blocks are provided on the inner bottom wall and inner top wall of the filter element; an opening communicating with the filter element is provided at the top of the bucket lid; the bottle cap includes an oil plug and a sealing cap; the oil plug is centrally located and slides through the opening; a limiting plug is provided on the outer bottom of the oil plug, and the limiting plug is slidably disposed within the filter element; movable slots are provided at the bottom and top of the limiting plug, and the movable blocks can be movably engaged within the movable slots; the sealing cap covers the top of the oil plug; a sealing plug is provided at the bottom of the sealing cap; the sealing plug is screwed into the oil plug for sealing. This utility model is flexible and convenient to use.

[0004] With the above-described design, the existing plastic bucket, by having a lid, allows for direct pouring of large quantities of oil by simply opening the lid; the lid is equipped with a filter and an oil plug, allowing for direct removal of the oil plug and unscrewing of the sealing cap for smaller quantities of oil, thus preventing spillage. However, the existing plastic bucket design has the following drawbacks during operation:

[0005] In the existing technology, the plastic buckets are used by connecting the liquid-filled bucket body to the lid via a threaded connection, which seals the bucket body. However, when turning the lid to connect the bucket body, women with less strength may experience a situation where the lid and bucket body do not seal tightly, which can easily lead to leakage during transportation. Moreover, when the plastic bucket is placed on the ground, it is easy to be bumped. If the bucket falls to the ground, the impact force can cause the lid to detach from the bucket body, resulting in leakage. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model aims to provide a convenient plastic bucket for unloading, mainly to solve the technical problems of existing technology where the seal between the bucket body and the lid is not tight, resulting in leakage during transportation. In addition, when the bucket body is impacted and tipped to the ground, the impact force on the lid can cause the lid to separate from the bucket body, leading to leakage.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A convenient unloading plastic bucket includes a bucket body and a bucket lid. A sealing ring is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bucket body, and a sealing groove is formed on the lower surface of the bucket lid. The sealing ring is inserted into the sealing groove. A first fixing ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bucket body, and a second fixing ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bucket lid. The upper surface of the first fixing ring has multiple symmetrical L-shaped grooves, and the inner wall of the L-shaped grooves has arc-shaped grooves. A snap-fit ​​component is slidably connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped grooves. The upper surface of the first fixing ring has a movable groove, and a limit component is installed inside the movable groove.

[0009] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model:

[0010] 1. Working Principle: When the lid needs to be installed onto the barrel body, first place the second fixing ring with the sliding rod and locking block on the upper surface of the first fixing ring, so that the sealing groove on the lid is inserted into the sealing ring on the barrel body. At this time, the sliding rod and locking block are inserted into the L-shaped groove and press the arc plate inside the L-shaped groove, so that the arc plate presses the compression spring. At this time, the lower surface of the second fixing ring presses the limiting component, so that the limiting rod is retracted into the movable groove. Then, rotate the lid so that the arc groove of the locking block is engaged. At this time, the limiting rod on the limiting component is inserted into the limiting groove, limiting the lid and completing the installation.

[0011] 2. Beneficial effects:

[0012] Existing technology uses a lid to allow for large-volume oil pouring by simply opening the lid. The lid also includes a filter and an oil plug; for smaller quantities, the plug can be removed, the lid unscrewed, and the oil poured through the plug, preventing spills. However, existing plastic containers rely on a threaded connection between the liquid-filled container and the lid for a seal. This connection can be difficult to maintain, especially for those with less strength, leading to leaks during transport. Furthermore, plastic containers are susceptible to damage from impacts and can easily fall to the ground. Impact forces can cause the lid to detach from the barrel, leading to leaks. This solution addresses this by incorporating a sealing ring, sealing groove, first fixing ring, second fixing ring, snap-fit ​​assembly, and limiting assembly. The lid is placed over the upper surface of the barrel, allowing the sealing ring to engage with the sealing groove. The snap-fit ​​assembly vertically secures the first and second fixing rings, preventing vertical movement. The limiting assembly then horizontally limits the lid's movement, ensuring a tight seal between the lid and barrel. Furthermore, placing the plastic barrel inside a conical container prevents it from being bumped or collapsing, thus avoiding potential leaks.

[0013] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​assembly includes a compression spring fixedly attached to the bottom surface of the L-shaped groove. An arc-shaped plate is fixedly attached to the other end of the compression spring, and the arc-shaped plate is slidably connected to the L-shaped groove. A slide rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the L-shaped groove, and a snap-fit ​​block is fixedly attached to the outer wall of the slide rod. The snap-fit ​​block is slidably connected to the L-shaped groove and snaps into the arc-shaped groove. The upper surface of the slide rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the second fixing ring. By providing the snap-fit ​​assembly, the first and second fixing rings can be fixed, ensuring a tight connection between the sealing ring and the sealing groove, preventing leakage.

[0014] Preferably, the limiting assembly includes a limiting rod that is slidably connected to the inner wall of the movable groove. A limiting spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable groove, and the other end of the limiting spring is fixedly connected to the limiting rod. A limiting groove is formed on the lower surface of the second fixed ring, and the limiting rod is inserted into the limiting groove. A sliding plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove. One side of the sliding plate abuts against one end of the limiting rod, and a push rod is fixedly connected to the other side of the sliding plate. The push rod passes through the second fixed ring and is slidably connected to it. By setting the limiting assembly, the first and second fixed rings can be horizontally limited, preventing the lid from rotating and improving the stability of the lid fixed to the barrel.

[0015] Preferably, a first rotating groove is formed at the end of the limiting rod away from the limiting spring, and a first rotating ball is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first rotating groove, with the first rotating ball abutting against the slide plate. By setting the first rotating ball, the friction between the limiting rod and the second fixing ring can be reduced, making the rotation of the lid smoother.

[0016] Preferably, a second rotating groove is formed on the bottom surface of the sliding rod, and a second rotating ball is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the second rotating groove. The second rotating ball contacts the arc-shaped plate. By setting the second rotating ball, the friction between the sliding rod and the arc-shaped plate can be reduced, making the rotation of the lid smoother.

[0017] Preferably, a sealing gasket is fixedly connected to one end of the sealing ring that intersects with the sealing groove. By setting the sealing gasket, the sealing effect of the sealing ring and the sealing groove is improved, preventing leakage.

[0018] Preferably, a push plate is fixedly connected to the end of the push rod away from the slide plate, and an anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the push plate. By setting the push plate, it is possible to prevent the push rod from sliding out of the limiting groove under the action of gravity when the lid and the barrel body are disassembled.
