Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household goods technology, specifically to a self-cleaning trash can. Background Technology

[0002] Most trash cans are made of metal or plastic, and plastic bags are placed inside when using them. Trash cans are common household items in our daily lives.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219008815U discloses a self-cleaning trash can, including a can body and a base. A can lid is hinged to the can body, and a ring plate is fixedly connected to the top of the base. The outer wall of the ring plate has internal threads, and a groove is formed at the bottom of the can body, which is threadedly connected to the ring plate. The base is provided with a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the can body. The cleaning mechanism includes a sealing plate and a circular plate. The sealing plate is connected to a drive mechanism set inside the base to drive the cleaning mechanism. The circular plate is detachably connected to the sealing plate by a first screw. Multiple bottom rods are fixedly connected to the circular plate, and second bristles are fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom rods. The can body has a simple structure, and the threaded connection between the can body and the ring plate makes it easy to disassemble and replace, and also facilitates user maintenance of the base and cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism can clean the can body, reduce stains, and facilitate subsequent use. However, this trash can uses an electrical component, a motor, which requires a power source to operate. Therefore, it is only suitable for use in scenarios with a power outlet, limiting its application. If there is no power outlet, the trash can's cleaning function cannot be achieved, thus limiting its applicability. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a self-cleaning trash can includes: a base plate 1 and a bin body 2. The bin body 2 is located directly above the base plate 1. Four support blocks 3 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the bin body 2. The support blocks 3 are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. Two pressure plates 4 are provided on the top of the bin body 2. Second connecting plates 17 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure plates 4 near the left and right sides. A fixing frame 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second connecting plate 17. A vertical rod 19 is movably passed through the bottom of the fixing frame 18. A first connecting plate 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the vertical rod 19. A spring 20 is movably sleeved on the outer edge of the vertical rod 19. The cross-section of the fixing frame 18 is U-shaped. The spring 20 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the fixing frame 18. A limiting plate 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical rod 19. The bottom of the limiting plate 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the spring 20.

[0026] In this embodiment, a movable column 6 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the barrel 2 near the center. A connecting frame 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable column 6. Four vertical plates 8 are fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame 7. Several brushes 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 7 and the side walls of the vertical plates 8. A worm gear 10 is fixedly sleeved on the outer edge of the movable column 6 near the bottom. A worm 11 is provided on the rear side of the worm gear 10. First connecting blocks 13 are provided on both the left and right sides of the worm gear 10. The first connecting blocks 13 are fixedly connected to the barrel 2. A rotating rod 12 is fixedly passed through the inner cavity of the worm 11. The rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected to the first connecting block 13. The rotating rod 12 is fixedly passed through the adjacent first connecting plate 16. Three second connecting blocks 14 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the barrel 2. A rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the second connecting block 14. The rotating shaft 15 is fixedly passed through the adjacent first connecting plate 16.

[0027] Step on the base plate 1 and pull the two pressure plates 4 upward. The pressure plates 4 drive the second connecting plate 17 and the fixing frame 18 to move upward. The fixing frame 18 moves upward on the outer edge of the vertical rod 19. At the same time, the spring 20 is compressed, and the pressure plates 4 move upward away from the barrel 2. Then, flip the two pressure plates 4 to both sides. The pressure plates 4 drive the second connecting plate 17 and the first connecting plate 16 to flip. The two pressure plates 4 flip around the rotating rod 12 and the rotating shaft 15 respectively. Place the pressure plates 4 on the ground. The pressure plates 4 drive the rotating rod 12 to rotate through the second connecting plate 17 and the first connecting plate 16. The rotating rod 12 drives the worm gear 11 to rotate. The worm gear 11 drives the movable column 6 to rotate through the worm wheel 10. The movable column 6 drives the vertical plate 8 to rotate through the connecting frame 7. The brush 9 at the bottom of the connecting frame 7 and the brush 9 on the side wall of the vertical plate 8 clean the inner wall and bottom of the barrel 2 to reduce the residue of dirt.

[0028] Then, place the garbage bag inside the bin 2 and put the top of the garbage bag over the top of the bin 2. Then flip the two pressure plates 4 and pull the pressure plates 4 up at the same time. The spring 20 is compressed and deformed, and the two pressure plates 4 flip upward until they fit together. At the same time, the bottom of the arc groove 5 corresponds to the top of the bin 2. Then slowly release the upward pull of the pressure plates 4, and the pressure plates 4 move downward under the action of the spring 20 and gravity.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the bottom of the pressure plate 4 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 5, and the top of the barrel 2 is movably inserted into the inner cavity of the arc-shaped groove 5. The two pressure plates 4 are arranged symmetrically about the central axis of the barrel 2.

[0031] The pressure plate 4 is snapped onto the top of the bin 2 via the arc groove 5. The pressure plate 4 fixes the garbage bag to the top of the bin 2. At the same time, the spring 20 provides downward pulling force to the pressure plate 4, so that the garbage bag can be more stably fixed on the bin 2.

[0032] Implementation plan: During use, step on the base plate 1 and pull the two pressure plates 4 upward. The pressure plates 4 drive the second connecting plate 17 and the fixing frame 18 to move upward. The fixing frame 18 moves upward on the outer edge of the vertical rod 19. At the same time, the spring 20 is compressed, and the pressure plates 4 move upward away from the barrel 2. Then, flip the two pressure plates 4 to both sides. The pressure plates 4 drive the second connecting plate 17 and the first connecting plate 16 to flip. The two pressure plates 4 flip around the rotating rod 12 and the rotating shaft 15 respectively. Place the pressure plates 4 on the ground. The pressure plates 4 drive the rotating rod 12 to rotate through the second connecting plate 17 and the first connecting plate 16. The rotating rod 12 drives the worm gear 11 to rotate. The worm gear 11 drives the movable column 6 to rotate through the worm wheel 10. The movable column 6 drives the vertical plate 8 to rotate through the connecting frame 7. The brush 9 at the bottom of the connecting frame 7 and the brush 9 on the side wall of the vertical plate 8 clean the inner wall and bottom of the barrel 2 to reduce the residue of dirt.

[0033] Then, place the garbage bag inside the bin 2 and place the top of the garbage bag over the top of the bin 2. Then, flip the two pressure plates 4 and pull them up. The spring 20 is compressed and deformed, and the two pressure plates 4 flip upwards until they fit together. At the same time, the bottom of the arc groove 5 corresponds to the top of the bin 2. Then, slowly release the upward pull of the pressure plates 4. The pressure plates 4 move downwards under the action of the spring 20 and gravity. The pressure plates 4 are engaged with the top of the bin 2 through the arc groove 5. The pressure plates 4 fix the garbage bag to the top of the bin 2. At the same time, the spring 20 provides a downward pull to the pressure plates 4, so that the garbage bag can be more stably fixed on the bin 2.
