Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of trash cans, specifically a dry and wet separation plastic trash can. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, trash cans are essential household items used to collect various types of garbage. However, for garbage containing liquids, such as the mixture of tea leaves and tea water after brewing tea, traditional trash cans often cannot effectively separate the dry and wet substances.

[0003] On the one hand, if tea leaves and tea water are poured into a regular trash can together, the tea water will seep to the bottom of the trash can, causing it to become damp and prone to bacterial growth and odors. This not only affects indoor hygiene but may also pose a potential threat to the user's health. On the other hand, when cleaning the trash can, the liquid must be poured out first before the solid waste is disposed of, making the process more cumbersome and increasing the difficulty and workload of cleaning.

[0004] Furthermore, existing trash cans with wet and dry separation functions are often structurally complex, costly, or have unsatisfactory separation effects, failing to meet users' needs for simple, efficient, and practical wet and dry separation trash cans. Therefore, developing a plastic trash can that is simple in structure, easy to operate, and can effectively separate wet and dry waste is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a dry and wet separation plastic trash can to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a dry and wet separation plastic trash can, including a storage tube, a support plate screwed to the bottom of the storage tube, a bracket fixed to the bottom of the support plate, a liquid storage tube fixed to the bottom of the bracket, and an annular groove between the top of the liquid storage tube and the side plate of the storage tube.

[0007] Preferably, a screw sleeve is integrally formed on the bottom plate of the storage tube, and a screw shank is screwed into the inside of the screw sleeve, with the screw shank fixed to the top surface of the support plate.

[0008] Preferably, the tray is a convex circular plate, and a mesh plate is fitted on the top of the tray. A sealing ring is fitted and fixed on the outer ring surface of the mesh plate, and the sealing ring is clamped between the liquid storage cylinder and the mesh plate.

[0009] Preferably, a rubber cover is fixedly fitted to the bottom of the storage cylinder, and the bottom end of the rubber cover is fitted to the top of the liquid storage cylinder, covering the annular groove between the liquid storage cylinder and the storage cylinder.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] This utility model proposes a dry-wet separation plastic trash can that uses a mesh plate to filter out tea leaves from tea water poured into the storage cylinder. The tea leaves remain on the mesh plate, while the tea water flows into the storage cylinder below, effectively separating tea leaves from tea water. This dry-wet separation method avoids the problems of odor and bacterial growth caused by trash soaking in liquid inside the trash can, keeping the inside of the trash can relatively dry and clean, which is beneficial to improving indoor environmental hygiene.

[0012] Under normal use, the rubber cover covers the annular groove between the liquid storage cylinder and the collection cylinder, which can effectively prevent the odor of tea in the liquid storage cylinder from spreading into the indoor air and keep the indoor air fresh.

[0013] When it's time to pour tea, the outward-folding rubber cover won't affect its subsequent protective function, providing users with a more comfortable experience. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clear and complete, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of this utility model, and are merely used to explain the embodiments of this utility model. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a dry and wet separation plastic trash can, including a storage tube 1. A support plate 4 is screwed to the bottom of the storage tube 1, and a bracket 5 is fixed to the bottom of the support plate 4. A liquid storage tube 6 is fixed to the bottom end of the bracket 5. A screw-fit sleeve 2 is integrally formed on the bottom plate of the storage tube 1, and a screw-fit shank 3 is screwed into the inside of the screw-fit sleeve 2. The screw-fit shank 3 is fixed to the top surface of the support plate 4. The storage tube 1 and the liquid storage tube 6 are used in combination; that is, the screw-fit sleeve 2 at the bottom of the storage tube 1 is fitted and screwed onto the screw-fit shank 3, completing the assembly of the storage tube 1 and the liquid storage tube 6. At this time, the support plate 4 and the bracket 5 support the storage tube 1. An annular groove is left between the top of the liquid storage tube 6 and the side plate of the storage tube 1 to facilitate pouring tea into the liquid storage tube 6.

[0022] The tray 4 is a convex circular plate. A mesh plate 7 is fitted on the top of the tray 4. A sealing ring 8 is fixed on the outer ring surface of the mesh plate 7. The sealing ring 8 is sandwiched between the liquid storage cylinder 6 and the mesh plate 7. The mesh plate 7 filters the tea leaves in the tea water poured into the liquid storage cylinder 6. A rubber cover 9 is fixed on the bottom of the storage cylinder 1. The bottom end of the rubber cover 9 is fitted on the top of the liquid storage cylinder 6. The rubber cover 9 covers the annular groove between the liquid storage cylinder 6 and the storage cylinder 1. When pouring tea water, the bottom of the rubber cover 9 is turned outward. After pouring the water, the rubber cover 9 is turned back. The rubber cover 9 protects the annular groove and reduces the spread of odor.

[0023] Instructions for using this wet and dry separation plastic trash can: Place the mesh plate 7 on top of the tray 4. The sealing ring 8, which is fixed to the outer ring of the mesh plate 7, will move accordingly. Ensure the sealing ring 8 is correctly positioned to prepare for sealing. Align the threaded sleeve 2 at the bottom of the collection tube 1 with the threaded handle 3 on the top surface of the tray 4. Rotate the collection tube 1 so that the threaded sleeve 2 is screwed onto the threaded handle 3, completing the assembly of the collection tube 1 and the tray 4. At this point, the tray 4 and the bracket 5 provide support for the collection tube 1. Place the rubber cover 9 on the bottom of the collection tube 1, ensuring it is securely installed. Place the assembled collection tube 1 (including the tray 4 and bracket 5) on top of the liquid storage tube 6, so that the bottom end of the rubber cover 9 is fitted over the top of the liquid storage tube 6. At this point, an annular groove will be left between the top of the liquid storage tube 6 and the side plate of the collection tube 1, facilitating the pouring of tea or water. When pouring tea, fold the bottom of the rubber cover 9 outwards to expose the annular groove for easy pouring. Slowly pour the tea into the annular groove between the collection cylinder 1 and the liquid storage cylinder 6. The tea will pass through the mesh plate 7, which will filter out the tea leaves, leaving them on the mesh plate 7, while the tea flows into the liquid storage cylinder 6 below. After pouring, fold the outward-folded rubber cover 9 back over to cover the annular groove between the liquid storage cylinder 6 and the collection cylinder 1 again. Folding the rubber cover 9 back over helps to protect the annular groove and reduce the spread of odors from the liquid storage cylinder 6. When emptying the trash can, first rotate the collection cylinder 1 to unscrew the screw sleeve 2 from the screw handle 3 and remove the collection cylinder 1 from the tray 4. Remove the mesh plate 7 from the tray 4 and clean any remaining tea leaves from it, ensuring that the mesh plate 7 is unobstructed. At the same time, check the sealing ring 8 for damage and replace it promptly if necessary. Pour out the tea from the storage cylinder 6 and rinse the inside of the storage cylinder 6 with clean water to remove any remaining stains and odors. After cleaning, reassemble the components such as the storage cylinder 1, tray 4, bracket 5, storage cylinder 6, mesh plate 7, sealing ring 8, and rubber cover 9 according to the assembly steps for future use.

[0024] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
