Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of trash cans with stirring mechanisms, and more particularly to trash cans. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, trash cans are equipped with a stirring device. In simpler devices, the stirring mechanism is directly placed inside the trash can or fixed to the base of the trash can to reduce twisting during rotation. However, when there is hard trash, the stirring mechanism will experience greater resistance during processing, resulting in a large torque force. This leads to poor stability of the entire trash can, especially when a support frame needs to be added. When other structures are installed at the bottom of the support frame, the rotation of the drive mechanism will generate a large torque force on the support frame, weakening the secure fit between it and the trash can and affecting its use. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to disperse the torque force of the drive mechanism, especially the torque force generated when multiple structural mixing mechanisms are mounted on the top and rotate on the support, thereby improving the stability of the entire trash can.

[0004] A trash can includes a can body, a drive mechanism, and a stirring mechanism controlled by the drive mechanism. A support is installed inside the can body. The stirring mechanism and the drive mechanism are located on the upper and lower sides of the support, respectively. A heating plate is interference-fitted between the support and the stirring mechanism, and a gap is provided at the interference fit.

[0005] The drive mechanism drives the stirring mechanism to rotate. The torque force generated by the rotation of the stirring mechanism is distributed to the heating plate and the support through the assembly gap between the stirring mechanism and the heating plate and the assembly gap between the support and the heating plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the support includes a frame and a distribution rib located between the frame and the bottom of the barrel, and the support leg at the bottom of the heating plate is supported on the surface of the frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the heating plate extends, or a U-shaped groove with an opening facing downwards is formed by slotting on the support leg, and the insert rod located in the U-shaped groove extends through the frame to the dispersion rib.

[0008] Furthermore, a limiting plate is provided below the frame, and the insertion rod forms the assembly gap with the limiting plate and / or the limiting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the insertion rod branches towards the limiting plate to form at least two contact portions.

[0010] Furthermore, the frame has a partial protrusion forming a stepped structure on which the barrel is assembled, and the stepped structure is provided with the dispersion ribs at least along the circumference of the barrel and at the corresponding position at the bottom of the barrel.

[0011] Furthermore, the four diagonal corners of the frame extend downward to form legs, and adjacent legs are connected by connecting parts extending from the frame. The connecting parts and the legs partially protrude inward to form reinforcing ribs.

[0012] Furthermore, the heating plate extends toward the support to form several auxiliary dispersion ribs.

[0013] Furthermore, several of the auxiliary dispersion ribs are arranged radially along the center of the heating plate toward the edge of the heating plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of the barrel is fitted with a base, the edge of the base is recessed inward to form several H-shaped slots for assembling the bracket, and the base protrudes near the center to form several columnar structures, the columnar structures having insertion holes for fixing to the bottom screws of the bracket.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] In this invention, for trash cans with complex assembly structures, various assembly gaps are utilized to disperse the torque force generated by the upper stirring mechanism, avoiding the problem of torque force accumulation and ensuring stability during rotation.

[0017] In this invention, by setting up dispersion ribs, stress dispersion ribs, and reinforcing ribs, the force can be dispersed at multiple points. Combined with the assembly gap, the torque force is dispersed in multiple directions during the rotation of the stirring mechanism, thereby improving the overall strength.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be noted that these embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Equivalent transformations or substitutions in function, method, or structure made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] See attached document Figure 1-7 As shown, the trash can in this embodiment includes a can body 100, a drive mechanism 200, and a stirring mechanism 300 controlled by the drive mechanism 200. To create a larger assembly space and facilitate subsequent flow, a support 400 is installed inside the can body 100. The stirring mechanism 300 and the drive mechanism 200 are located on the upper and lower sides of the support 400, respectively. A heating plate 110 is interference-fitted between the support 400 and the stirring mechanism 300, with a gap at the interference fit. In this embodiment, the heating plate 110 is positioned close to the drive mechanism 200 to quickly dissipate the stirred trash. The garbage is heated and evaporated to keep the inside of the garbage can relatively dry. At this time, the heating plate and the agitator work together. In this embodiment, the support 400 is set near the lower middle part of the can body 100. When the agitator 300 is rotated under the action of the drive mechanism 200, it will generate a certain torque force. At this time, due to the existence of the assembly gap, the torque force is first transmitted to the heating plate, and then transmitted to the support through the heating plate 110. This means that the direct torque force is the dispersed torque force, which is small and has little impact on the entire support, thus ensuring its stable assembly.

[0029] In this embodiment, the interference fit gap is preferably 1-3mm, allowing for a certain degree of wobbling in the assembly while preventing direct disassembly. For example, during assembly, the assembly length can be greater than the width, and the assembly gap width is 1-3mm, forming a smaller gap for better dispersion. In actual use, when the stirring shaft drives the stirring bucket to rotate, a rotational torque force is generated. When processing harder waste, the rotation speed is high, and the overall volume of the waste bin is small, raising concerns that the torque force might cause the waste to be thrown out of the bin. Therefore, the increased assembly gap overcomes these problems and is generally used in daily waste bins, meeting the requirements.

[0030] In this embodiment, the stirring mechanism 300 is not directly assembled with the support 400, which weakens the direct force and reduces the torque generated during its rotation relative to the support 400, thus improving the overall assembly stability.

[0031] To increase the stress and strength of the support itself, the support 400 in this embodiment includes a frame 410 and a dispersion rib 420 located between the frame 410 and the bottom of the barrel 100. The support leg 111 at the bottom of the heating plate 110 is supported on the surface of the frame 410. At this time, an assembly surface or support surface is formed above the frame 410, and a number of dispersion ribs 420 are provided below the frame 410. The dispersion ribs 420 are used to disperse the force on the frame, not limited to torque force, and an assembly space can also be formed between the dispersion ribs, so that other structures can be added between the frame 410 and the base at the bottom of the frame 410. At this time, the heating plate 110 can be supported on the frame 410 by the support leg, or it can be fixed to the frame 410 by adding bolts, etc. However, in order to ensure that there is an assembly gap and thus a fixed connection, a gap must be set between the frame and the heating plate.

[0032] To assemble the heating plate 110 and the frame 410, a U-shaped groove 112 with an opening facing downward is formed by extending the bottom of the heating plate 110 or by slotting the support leg 111. The insert rod 113 located in the U-shaped groove 112 extends through the frame 410 to the dispersing rib 420. In this embodiment, the U-shaped groove can be formed by slotting the support leg or by setting it separately, and then the insert rod is inserted into it. The insert rod connects the frame and the heating plate. The insert rod is not fixed in a certain position, but extends to the bottom of the frame, which has the function of assisting dispersion.

[0033] In this embodiment, to ensure the relative assembly of the heating plate 110 and the frame 410, a limiting plate 470 is provided below the frame 410. The insertion rod 113 forms an assembly gap with the limiting plate and / or between the limiting plates (here, between multiple limiting plates). At this time, the insertion rod 113 can be in complete contact with the limiting plate and form a gap with the U-shaped groove, or it can be in contact with the U-shaped groove and have a gap with the limiting plate, or it can form a gap with both. Thus, once the drive mechanism rotates, the torque force causes it to generate a torsional tendency, which can be released through the space of the assembly gap.

[0034] In this embodiment, the insertion rod 113 branches towards the limiting plate 470 to form at least two contact portions 114. At this time, the contact surface between the two contact portions 114 and the limiting plate 470 is large, allowing the torque force transmitted from the upper heating plate 110 to be dispersed again through the two contact portions. In this embodiment, the two contact portions extend in opposite directions, thus enabling the force to be transmitted and dispersed in opposite directions at the limiting plate, for example, simultaneously dispersed through the contact portion extending to the left and the contact portion extending to the right.

[0035] Referring to the accompanying drawings, compared to the flatness of a flat assembly, this embodiment also features a partially protruding frame 410 to form a stepped structure 430 on which the barrel body is assembled. The stepped structure 430 has the dispersing ribs 420 at least along the circumference of the barrel body 100 and at corresponding positions on the bottom of the barrel body 100. In this embodiment, the height of the mixing barrel forms the Y-axis, and the width of the mixing barrel forms the Z-axis. The dispersing ribs 420 at the front and back of the mixing barrel can extend obliquely along the X-axis, Z-axis, and the angle between the X-axis and Z-axis, thereby creating dispersion in various directions.

[0036] In this embodiment, the frame 410, similar to the structure of a stool, can be integrally formed. For example, the four diagonal corners of the frame can extend downwards to form legs 440, and adjacent legs 440 are connected by connecting portions 450 extending from the frame 410. The connecting portions 450 and the legs 440 partially protrude inwards to form reinforcing ribs 460. The connecting portions 450 have a certain height, thus providing better assistance in force distribution and torque resistance. Combined with the previously dispersed assembly gaps, this ensures overall stability during rotation. In this embodiment, the reinforcing ribs 460 can increase in width or thickness from top to bottom.

[0037] In this embodiment, the reinforcing ribs 460 can be set on the inner wall or outer wall of the bracket, or on both sides, thereby increasing its strength. At the same time, the bracket and its internal structure can be integrally injection molded, saving production costs.

[0038] Compared to a close fit, in order to create more assembly gaps, the heating plate 110 in this embodiment is supported on the bracket 400 by the support leg 111. At this time, it can be extended, that is, the heating plate 110 extends towards the bracket 400 to form a number of auxiliary dispersion ribs 115. In this embodiment, the auxiliary dispersion ribs 115 are suspended above the bracket, so that the first force dispersion can be achieved here.

[0039] To further disperse the torque force, several auxiliary dispersion ribs 115 are arranged radially along the center of the heating plate 110 toward the edge of the heating plate 110. This dispersed arrangement allows for dispersion at the periphery, thus enabling dispersion at the heating plate itself.

[0040] For the overall large trash can structure, since other structures need to be assembled, a base 120 is set at the bottom of the can body 100. The base 120 then forms several assembly spaces facing upwards. For assembling the bracket, the base 120 is recessed inwards near its outer edge to form several H-shaped slots 121 for assembling the bracket. Near the center of the base 120, several columnar structures 122 are protruded, each columnar structure 122 having insertion holes for screws to be fixed to the bottom of the bracket 400. In this embodiment, the bottom structure of the bracket 400 is complex. First, an insertion part, such as an H-shaped insertion part, is formed at the edge, which is then misaligned with the H-shaped slots on the base, allowing for a certain gap to distribute torque. To ensure a secure connection, screws are then placed between the bracket and the base, fixed inside the bracket, with the other end inserted into the columnar structure.

[0041] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism is a brushless motor, and the bracket is an assembly bracket for a gearbox that cooperates with the brushless motor. Therefore, the bracket is a gearbox bracket. In this embodiment, if the torque output of the brushless motor is insufficient, a gearbox is used to form a reducer to amplify the torque to meet the force required for bone crushing, for example, amplifying it to 35KN-40KN. In this embodiment, a chassis or similar component can be fixedly connected inside the bracket to increase its strength.

[0042] In this embodiment, the heating plate not only serves the heating function of the heating element, but also forms an integral part with the gearbox bracket and generates torque between itself and the mixing tank. All subsequent torque is transmitted and processed, thus releasing the overall torque.

[0043] In this embodiment, a heating element can also be fitted into the bottom of the heating plate to improve heating efficiency. However, there is a gap in the fitting, i.e., a slot assembly. When the heating plate is subjected to torque force, the gap in the slot can be dispersed.

[0044] In this embodiment, the stirring mechanism inside the trash can can be removed independently. During high-speed rotation of the stirring mechanism inside the trash can, if a large object is encountered, the force of the stirring barrel is released due to the gap between it and the heating plate. This force is then dispersed between the heating plate and the gearbox below, protecting the stirring shaft within the stirring mechanism.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
