Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of daily necessities technology, and specifically refers to a trash can. Background Technology

[0002] Trash cans are indispensable hygiene products in daily life, widely used in homes, offices, and other places. Their main function is to hold waste, prevent odors, and maintain environmental hygiene.

[0003] Currently, the common way to connect the lid and body of trash cans on the market is through a pivot or hinge structure. Both the lid and body need to be modified to install the pivot (usually by setting a mounting protrusion on the edge to insert the pivot horizontally). This makes the overall appearance look rather messy, and there are also disadvantages such as the pivot rusting, making noise and getting stuck, and the mounting protrusion being easily damaged. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a trash can that uses an elastic component to connect the lid and the body, replacing the traditional swivel connector. This results in simpler accessories, a lower failure rate, and a better user experience.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0006] A trash can includes a can body and a can lid. A handle is installed on the top edge of the can lid, and an extension is provided at the lower end of the handle. The extension passes through the can lid and is fixed to the side wall of the can body. The extension is elastic to accommodate the deformation at this point during the opening and closing of the can lid.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the handle and the extension are made of silicone material and are integrally formed.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the bucket lid has a groove at the lower end of the handle, and the upper end of the extension has a locking block that is embedded in the groove.

[0009] The present invention is further provided that a magnetic attraction structure is provided between the bucket lid and the bucket body.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the magnetic suction structure is positioned opposite to the handle.

[0011] The present invention is further provided that the inner wall of the bucket lid is provided with a flange, and when the bucket lid is closed with the bucket body, the flange is embedded in the opening of the bucket body.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the upper half of the extension is obliquely inward, and the lower half is fixed to the barrel body by rivets.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the barrel body is cup-shaped.

[0014] The outstanding and beneficial technical effects of this utility model compared to the prior art are:

[0015] The trash can provided by this utility model uses an elastic extension part to replace the traditional metal shaft, which can change the traditional fixed installation method of the shaft. The handle is set on the top edge of the lid, and the extension part is set downward to connect to the body of the can. Thus, the connecting parts are not visible between the lid and the body, making it simpler and more stylish. At the same time, it avoids the problem of large deformation of the lid and body (setting installation protrusion) required by the shaft connection method. The production and assembly costs of related parts are also lower.

[0016] This invention further utilizes silicone as the main material for the handle and extension, taking advantage of silicone's corrosion resistance, aging resistance, and low-temperature resistance to extend the service life of the trash can; at the same time, the one-piece molding also reduces manufacturing and installation costs.

[0017] This utility model uses a locking block embedded in the groove, which not only limits the handle but also positions the downward extension.

[0018] This utility model adopts a magnetic sealing structure, which makes the lid and the barrel body tightly connected, and can be used in bumpy spaces such as cars, and is not easy to open due to shaking.

[0019] This utility model further adopts a magnetic structure and a handle that are positioned opposite each other, making it more convenient for users to use. The magnetic force can be overcome by pulling and lifting to open the lid, making it easy to operate with one hand.

[0020] The flange used in this invention is adapted to the opening of the bucket. Since the bucket lid and the bucket body are connected by an elastic extension, the flange ensures the stability of the connection between the bucket body and the bucket lid when the lid is closed.

[0021] The upper part of the extension of this utility model is obliquely inward, which not only provides space for the upper groove, but also visually misaligns the handle and the lower end of the extension, creating the effect that there are no visible connecting parts between the lid and the body, and better matches the dynamic process of opening the lid.

[0022] This utility model adopts a cup-shaped structure, which provides more convenience for vehicle use and has a more stylish and beautiful appearance. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. See also: Figure 1 — Figure 4 :

[0035] A type of trash can, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a bucket lid and a bucket body. The bucket lid fits onto the bucket body, and a handle is installed at the top edge of the bucket lid. An extension is fixed to the outer wall of the upper part of the bucket body by fasteners such as rivets.

[0036] Combination Figure 4-6 As can be seen, the handle and the extension are connected components. A locking block is provided between the handle and the extension, and the locking block is embedded in a groove on the bucket lid. The bottom of the groove is open so that the extension can pass downward through the bucket lid and connect to the bucket body. In this embodiment, the handle, extension, and locking block are integrally molded, and preferably made of silicone material, so that the connection between the bucket lid and the bucket body has a certain degree of elasticity to adapt to the opening and closing process of the bucket lid. In addition, the extension should preferably be flat for easy installation.

[0037] The above-described design uses a flexible extension instead of a traditional metal hinge, changing the traditional fixed installation method. The handle is positioned on the top edge of the lid, with the extension connecting downwards to the bucket body. This visually conceals the connecting parts between the lid and body, resulting in a simpler and more stylish design. It also avoids the problem of significant deformation (installation protrusions) required by hinge-based connections. See details... Figure 1 and Figure 5 The part where the barrel body and the extension mate can be appropriately recessed to make the protrusions on the outer surface of the barrel more obvious.

[0038] See details Figure 4The upper half of the extension is designed with an inward fold, combined with... Figure 5 and Figure 6 The dynamic process of the lid opening and closing reveals that, with this design, the upper part of the extension swings similarly to the lower end as the base point throughout the entire dynamic process, which better matches the dynamic process of the lid opening.

[0039] See details Figure 2 A magnetic attraction structure 10 is provided between the lid 2 and the body 1. The magnetic attraction structure 10 is positioned opposite the handle 3. When the lid 2 is closed on the body 1, the magnetic attraction structure 10 tightly connects the lid 2 and the body 1. The magnetic attraction structure 10 can be implemented by setting magnetic attraction components, such as two magnets or one magnet and one iron block, on the inner walls of the lid and the opening of the body.

[0040] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The inner wall of the lid 2 is provided with a flange 21. When the lid 2 is closed with the body 1, the flange 21 is embedded in the opening of the body 1. The flange ensures that the lid and body fit more stably, the lid is not easy to move under external force, and the garbage can is sealed.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the entire trash can can be designed in a cup shape, making it suitable for use in vehicles, on office desks, and other locations.

[0042] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
