Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of sanitation equipment and relates to a trash can. Background Technology

[0002] Trash cans, as common containers for storing garbage in daily life, are usually used in conjunction with garbage bags. Currently, most trash cans on the market have a one-piece molded side panel. To ensure the structural strength of the side panel and facilitate the hanging of garbage bags, the four edges are often provided with inward-folding flanges, and a raised bag-hanging protrusion is integrally formed on the top inward-folding flange. However, in actual use, when the garbage bag is full of garbage, it is very easy for the bag to rub against the edge of the lower edge of the bag-hanging protrusion during the removal process, which can easily tear the garbage bag, causing garbage to scatter and increasing the difficulty of cleaning.

[0003] Given the aforementioned problems, the current conventional solution is to install smooth inner walls of the trash can as dividers, allowing the trash bag to contact the dividers rather than directly contacting the rough inner wall and inner rim of the can, thus effectively reducing the probability of trash bag breakage. For example, a trash can disclosed in patent literature (application number: 202322223853.9) includes a can body with thick side walls and an opening at the top. Dividers are detachably connected to the inner walls of each side of the can body, and multiple dividers and the bottom of the can body form a receiving space for holding trash bags. While this trash can, by setting dividers, greatly reduces the probability of damage during trash bag removal, it also introduces new problems: the dividers are flat, and there is a gap between them and the inner walls of the side walls of the trash can, thus forming a hollow interlayer that occupies a certain amount of internal space, reducing the effective capacity of the trash can. When processing the same amount of trash, more frequent trash bag replacements are required, reducing usage efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a new type of trash can. This utility model solves the problem that the effective volume of existing trash cans is reduced after a structure is set to prevent the trash bag from tearing.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a trash can, including a can body, the can body including a plurality of rectangular side plates with inwardly turned edges on the upper edge, the inner edge of the inwardly turned edges protruding upward to form a strip-shaped bag hanging protrusion, characterized in that a bag guide plate located below the bag hanging protrusion is fixedly connected to the inner side of the top of each side plate, the bag guide plate is strip-shaped and has a reinforcing turned edge integrally formed on its back side around the edge, the bag guide plate is horizontally arranged and abuts against the inner side of the corresponding side plate through the reinforcing turned edge, the front of the bag guide plate gradually slopes towards the middle of the can body from bottom to top, and the upper edge of the front is flush with the inner side of the bag hanging protrusion.

[0006] In this trash can, a guide plate located below the bag-hanging protrusion is fixedly connected to the inner side of the top of each side panel. The front of the guide plate gradually slopes towards the middle of the can from bottom to top, and its upper edge is flush with the inner side of the bag-hanging protrusion. This allows the trash bag to slide smoothly along the surface of the guide plate during the process of taking out the trash bag, avoiding the trash bag from directly contacting the inner folded edge and causing the trash bag to break.

[0007] Meanwhile, the guide plate is strip-shaped and horizontally positioned on the inner side of the top of the side panel. This design maximizes space utilization and avoids the problem of reduced effective volume caused by hollow interlayers in traditional divider designs. Furthermore, the back of the guide plate features an integrally formed reinforcing flange around its edge. This flange, abutting against the inner side of the side panel, not only enhances the structural strength of the guide plate itself, enabling it to withstand the pressure exerted by the garbage bag during removal, but is also particularly suitable for large garbage bins, ensuring that the guide plate will not deform under stress when the garbage bag is full. In addition, the reinforcing flange design evenly distributes the force on the guide plate across the entire contact surface between the flange and the side panel, making the connection between the guide plate and the side panel more stable. After installation, the guide plate will not loosen, fall off, or be damaged by external forces, ensuring that even after long-term use, with frequent filling and removal of garbage bags, the guide plate effectively protects the garbage bags from damage.

[0008] In the aforementioned trash can, the reinforced flange protruding from both ends of the guide plate forms a right-angled triangle, with one right-angled side vertically positioned and abutting against the inner side of the side plate. This right-angled triangle design results in a larger contact area between the flange and the side plate, effectively dispersing the external force applied during trash bag removal, improving the installation stability of the guide plate, and ensuring that the trash can continues to effectively protect the trash bag from damage even after long-term use.

[0009] In the aforementioned trash can, the reinforcing flange protrudes from the upper edge of the guide plate in a strip shape and abuts against the lower side of the inner flange of the side plate. This design utilizes the abutting fit between the flange at the upper edge of the guide plate and the lower side of the inner flange of the side plate to form a stable support structure, enabling the guide plate to withstand the pressure generated during the removal of the trash bag and avoiding deformation or damage caused by excessive local stress.

[0010] In the aforementioned trash can, the inner side of the side panel is integrally formed with horizontally arranged rectangular support ribs. The reinforcing flange, protruding from the lower edge of the guide plate, is strip-shaped and abuts against the upper side of the support ribs. In this design, the support ribs provide stable support to the guide plate, allowing the guide plate to evenly distribute force when subjected to pressure during trash bag removal, effectively dispersing the stress and preventing deformation or damage due to excessive localized stress. Furthermore, the rectangular shape of the support ribs provides a large contact area with the trash bag, making it less prone to damage even if the trash bag slips past them.

[0011] In the aforementioned trash can, the upper edge of the bag guide plate has a notch, and the outer surface of the top of the side plate has an inwardly recessed strip-shaped handle hole. The portion of the inner surface of the side plate corresponding to the handle hole is raised and fitted into the notch. This handle hole design not only provides users with a convenient structure for retrieving the trash can, but also, by providing a notch along the upper edge of the bag guide plate and embedding the raised portion of the inner surface of the side plate into the notch, the bag guide plate can transfer pressure to the raised portion of the inner surface of the side plate corresponding to the handle hole when bearing the pressure during the removal of the trash bag. This effectively disperses the force and better prevents the bag guide plate from deforming or being damaged due to excessive localized stress.

[0012] In the aforementioned trash can, several reinforcing ribs are integrally formed on the inner side of the side panel, located between the inner flange and the supporting rib. These reinforcing ribs are perpendicular to the supporting ribs. Several positioning notches are provided on the reinforcing flange of the bag guide plate to engage with and position the reinforcing ribs. The design of the reinforcing ribs further enhances the structural strength of the top of the side panel, enabling it to effectively withstand the external forces generated during the removal of the trash bag, thus preventing deformation of the top of the side panel. Simultaneously, the positioning notches on the reinforcing flange of the bag guide plate engage with the reinforcing ribs, further increasing the installation stability of the bag guide plate and preventing displacement or loosening due to external forces during long-term use.

[0013] In the aforementioned trash can, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are integrally formed on the back of the bag guide plate, spaced apart along its length. These reinforcing ribs, without affecting the effective volume of the trash can, further increase the structural strength of the bag guide plate, ensuring that the trash can effectively protect the trash bags from damage even after long-term use.

[0014] In the aforementioned trash can, several rectangular vertical ribs are integrally formed on the inner surface of the side panel. These ribs are spaced horizontally, with their upper ends extending to supporting ribs and their lower ends extending to the bottom of the side panel. The vertical ribs protrude higher than the supporting ribs relative to the inner surface of the side panel. Because the vertical ribs are rectangular, they have a larger contact area with the trash bag, making it less prone to damage as the trash bag slides over them. Furthermore, the vertical ribs extend from the bottom of the side panel to the supporting ribs, forming a longitudinal reinforcing structure that effectively enhances the overall structural strength of the side panel. This effectively disperses and withstands external forces generated during use, preventing damage to the side panel. Additionally, the greater height of the vertical ribs relative to the inner surface of the side panel compared to the supporting ribs allows the trash bag to slide smoothly over the horizontally positioned supporting ribs when removed, preventing it from being scratched and further reducing the risk of damage.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, this trash can has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. In this trash can, a guide plate located below the bag hanging protrusion is fixedly connected to the inner side of the top of each side plate. The front of the guide plate gradually slopes towards the middle of the can from bottom to top, and its upper edge is flush with the inner side of the bag hanging protrusion. This allows the trash bag to slide smoothly along the surface of the guide plate during the process of taking out the trash bag, avoiding the trash bag from directly contacting the inner folded edge and causing the trash bag to break.

[0017] 2. The guide bag plate is strip-shaped and is horizontally set on the inner side of the top of the side plate. This design makes extremely high use of space and avoids the problem of reduced effective volume caused by hollow interlayer in traditional partition plate design. Attached Figure Description

A bag guide plate 3 located below the bag-hanging protrusion 22 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the top of each side plate 2. A horizontally arranged rectangular strip-shaped support rib 23 and several rectangular strip-shaped vertical ribs 26 are integrally formed on the inner side of the side plate 2. The several vertical ribs 26 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction. The upper end of the vertical ribs 26 extends to the support rib 23, and the lower end extends to the bottom of the side plate 2. The height of the vertical ribs 26 protruding relative to the inner side of the side plate 2 is greater than the height of the support ribs 23 protruding relative to the inner side of the side plate 2.

[0032] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the guide plate 3 is strip-shaped with a reinforcing flange 31 integrally formed around its back edge.

The reinforcing flange 31 is a strip-shaped part protruding from the lower edge of the guide bag plate 3 and abuts against the upper side of the supporting rib 23.

[0034] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in order to install the guide bag plate 3, two mounting posts 27 with threaded holes are integrally formed on the inner side of the side plate 2. There are two mounting holes 35 on the side plate 2. The bolt 6 passes through the mounting holes 35 and is threadedly connected to the threaded holes of the mounting posts 27, thereby fixing the guide bag plate 3 to the inner wall of the side plate 2.

[0035] In this trash can, each side panel 2 has an inwardly recessed strip-shaped handle hole 24 on its outer top surface, and the portion of the inner surface of the side panel 2 corresponding to the handle hole 24 is protruding. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the rear side panel 2 has two handle holes 24, while the other three side panels 2 each have one handle hole 24. Furthermore, as... Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the upper edge of the guide plate 3 on the left and right side plates 2 has a notch 32, and the protruding parts of the inner surfaces of the left and right side plates 2 corresponding to the handle holes 24 are fitted into the notch 32. Figure 2 As shown, the guide plate 3 on the rear side plate 2 has two recesses 32. On the inner side of the side plate 2, the protruding parts corresponding to the two handle holes 24 are respectively matched and embedded in the two recesses 32.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] The structure and principle of this embodiment are basically the same as those of Embodiment 1. The difference is that the guide bag plate 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side plate 2 by a snap-fit ​​structure.
