[0036] like Figures 1-6As shown, a conveniently foldable trash can holder includes a folding rack body 1. Specifically, it has an unfolded state and a folded state. In the unfolded state, it is installed inside a cabinet, with one side fixed to the inside of the cabinet door panel 7 by fasteners 6. For easy pushing and pulling, the bottom can be installed with the telescopic track 8 inside the cabinet, allowing it to be pulled out or pushed in with the cabinet door panel 7 for easy storage. When not in use, it does not occupy kitchen space, and its installation inside the cabinet reduces the emission of odors and prevents children or pets from rummaging through the trash can to retrieve trash. In the folded state, its volume can be reduced by folding, making it easier to pack and transport, effectively reducing transportation costs and the damage rate during transportation.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the stacking shelf body 1 includes a base 2, a first support column 3, a second support column 4, and a enclosure 5. One end of the first support column 3 and the second support column 4 are detachably installed on the base 2, and the other end is detachably installed on the enclosure 5. After installation, the enclosure 5 is located above the base 2. Specifically, the first support column 3 includes a first mounting surface 31 and a second mounting surface 32. The first mounting surface 31 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the cabinet door panel 7 and fixed to the inner wall of the cabinet door panel 7 by fasteners 6. The second mounting surface 32 has a certain angle with the first mounting surface 31. Specifically, in this embodiment, two symmetrical first support columns 3 are installed vertically on the inner side of the cabinet door panel 7. The angle between the first mounting surface 31 and the second mounting surface 32 is 80°-95°. Preferably, the angle between the first mounting surface 31 and the second mounting surface 32 is 90°.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, one side of the base 2 abuts against the first mounting surface 31 and is located between two symmetrical first support columns 3. The two sides of the base 2 are connected to the second mounting surface 32 of the first support column 3 by fasteners 6, so that the base 2 and the cabinet door panel 7 are perpendicular to each other.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to provide enough space to install the trash can, the base 2 is installed at the lower part of the cabinet door panel 7.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, since the edge of the base 2 is shallow and easily deformed under external force, a side plate 21 is provided at the connection between the base 2 and the first support column 3 to make the installation of the base 2 and the first support column 3 more stable and easier to install and disassemble. The side plate 21 is L-shaped and welded to the outer wall of the base 2 and extends vertically upward. The height of the side plate 21 is higher than the height of the base 2 but lower than the height of the first support column 3, making the connection between the base 2 and the first support column 3 more robust and less prone to deformation, thus strengthening the connection. During installation, the fastener 6 passes through the side plate 21 and the second mounting surface 33 of the first support column 3 to connect the base 2 and the first support column 3, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the base 2 and the first support column 3.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, to ensure the base 2 is in the correct unfolded state during use, i.e., the base 2 and the first support column 3 are perpendicular to each other, facilitating the installation of the trash can, a reinforcing support plate 22 is provided between the side plate 21 and the first support column 3. Specifically, the reinforcing support plate 22 is vertically arranged along the inner wall of the first support column 3, its inner wall is tightly attached to the outer wall of the side plate 21, and its height is higher than the height of the side plate 21 but lower than the height of the first support column 3. The side of the reinforcing support plate 22 that connects to the second mounting surface 32 has a first mounting hole 221 and a second mounting hole 222, which are distributed vertically at both ends. Fasteners 6 pass through the first mounting hole 221 to install and connect the reinforcing support plate 22 to the first support column 3. Fasteners 6 pass through the second mounting hole 222 to install and connect the reinforcing support plate 22 to the first support column 3 and the side plate 21. Thus, the reinforcing support plate 22 is fixedly connected to both the base 2 and the first support column 3 by fasteners 6.

[0042] Furthermore, the reinforcing support plate 22 is provided with a limiting protrusion 23. Specifically, the limiting protrusion 23 is located on the side of the reinforcing support plate 22 and protrudes inward. The bottom surface of the limiting protrusion 23 is adapted to limit the top surface of the side plate 21, thereby limiting the base 2 so that it can maintain a perpendicular angle with the first support column 3 when it is unfolded.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the second support column 4 is located on the base 2 at one end away from the first support column 3. One end is installed and connected to the base 2 by fastener 6, and the other end is movably connected to the enclosure 5.

[0044] Furthermore, for easy folding and storage, the second support column 4 includes an upper support column 41 and a lower support column 42 connected by fasteners 6. The upper part of the lower support column 42 is provided with a limiting groove 43, and the lower part of the upper support column 41 is provided with a limiting groove block 44 that cooperates with it. The lateral outer diameter of the limiting groove block 44 is adapted to the lateral inner diameter of the limiting groove 43. When the folding frame body 1 is unfolded, the limiting groove block 44 is engaged in the limiting groove 43, and the two are tightly connected by fasteners 6, so that the upper support column 41 and the lower support column 42 are installed vertically on the base 2.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the enclosure 5 is located directly above the base 2. When unfolded, it is balanced with the base 2. It is connected to the upper part of the first support column 3 and the second support column 4 by fasteners 6. The enclosure 5 is enclosed, and the trash can is placed inside the enclosure 5 to limit its movement.

[0046] Furthermore, to make the connection of the fence 5 more secure, an extension connecting block 51 is provided on the side of the fence 5 connected to the first support column 3. The extension connecting block 51 extends along the outer edge of the fence to the inner side of the second mounting surface 32 of the first support column 3 and is installed and connected thereto. Specifically, to make the installation of the extension connecting block 51 and the second mounting surface 32 more secure, a folded surface 511 is provided at the connection between the extension connecting block 51 and the second mounting surface 32. The folded surface 511 is fitted and installed in close contact with the second mounting surface 32.

[0047] Furthermore, to limit the movement of the trash cans installed within the enclosure 5, preventing them from wobbling during cabinet opening and closing, and to more efficiently utilize space for multiple trash cans, symmetrical limiting portions 52 are provided on opposite sides of the enclosure 5. Specifically, the limiting portions 52 are located on the longer sides of the enclosure 5 and in the middle, dividing the interior of the enclosure 5 into two parts. Specifically, in this invention, the limiting portions 52 are formed by bending the enclosure 5 so that its two sides protrude symmetrically inward, thus limiting the movement of the trash cans. Alternatively, the limiting portions 52 can also be installed on the enclosure 5 by welding, both methods serving the same limiting function.

[0048] Furthermore, in order to better install the trash can and strengthen the base 2, a retaining edge 24 is provided on the outer periphery of the base 2. The retaining edge 24 and the base 2 together form an upper-opening cavity 25. The trash can is placed into the cavity 25 from above the retaining edge 5, and the retaining edge 24 serves as a limiting element.

[0049] Furthermore, each of the two opposing side flanges 24 is provided with an outward flange 26. One end of the outward flange 26 is provided with a mounting slot 261, and the telescopic rail 8 is installed inside the outward flange 26. One end is fixedly installed to the outward flange 26 by a fastener 6, and the other end is limited and fixed by the mounting slot 261 so that it will not derail during the movement.

[0050] It should be noted that the fastener 6 mentioned above is a screw installed via a threaded connection.

[0051] like Figure 6 As shown, the folding mechanism of the folding frame body 1 is as follows: When folding is required, firstly, the fasteners 6 between the enclosure 5 and the first support column 3 are removed, and the fasteners 6 between the upper support column 41 and the lower support column 42 are unscrewed to allow them to move freely. At this time, the limiting slot block 44 exits from the limiting slot 43. The upper support column 41 and the lower support column 42 in the vertical direction are then manually pushed in the horizontal direction to fold them. This causes the enclosure 5 to move downwards along with the folding movement of the upper support column 41 and the lower support column 42 until it abuts against the base 2. Then, by unscrewing the fasteners 6 on the second mounting hole 222 of the reinforcing support plate 22, the first support column 3 and the reinforcing support plate 22 swing towards the base 2 with the second mounting hole 222 as the axis until they abut against the base 2. This completes the folding process. The volume of the folding frame body 1 after folding is one-fifth of the original, effectively reducing transportation costs and minimizing damage caused by collisions during transportation.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. All technical solutions that those skilled in the art can obtain based on the concept of the present utility model and on the basis of the prior art through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments should be within the protection scope determined by the claims.
