Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning products technology, specifically to a winnowing basket. Background Technology

[0002] Existing dustpans typically have only one opening, through which garbage is both fed and emptied. This means that when emptying the dustpan, the dustpan needs to be raised and rotated until the opening faces downwards towards the garbage bin. The dustpan is then repeatedly bumped against the bin to shake the garbage into it. However, when the dustpan is full, this process of raising and rotating the dustpan to face downwards towards the garbage bin is inconvenient for users. Furthermore, garbage can easily spill out of the bin while the dustpan is rotating, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0004] This utility model mainly addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology, specifically relating to a winnowing basket. It solves the problem that in the existing technology, when users dump garbage using a winnowing basket, it is very inconvenient to raise the basket and rotate it so that the opening faces downwards and is aligned with the garbage can. In addition, when the basket is rotated, garbage is easy to spill out of the garbage can from the opening, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution

[0006] This utility model relates to a winnowing basket, comprising: a winnowing basket hopper, the winnowing basket hopper including a first opening for garbage to enter the winnowing basket hopper and a second opening for garbage to exit the winnowing basket hopper; a cover, the cover being slidably connected to the winnowing basket hopper near the second opening, the cover having a discharge outlet, so that garbage enters the winnowing basket hopper from the first opening and exits sequentially along the second opening and the discharge outlet; the discharge outlet is opened or closed when the winnowing basket hopper and the cover slide relative to each other.

[0007] The advantages are that the scoop has a first opening and a second opening. The second opening and the outlet allow garbage to be discharged from the scoop. This means that when emptying garbage, users do not need to point the first opening downwards at the garbage can, thus preventing garbage from falling through the first opening. Also, the scoop does not need to be raised too high; the outlet only needs to be higher than the opening of the garbage can. This makes it more convenient to use. The scoop also features a cover that can open or close the outlet. When moving the scoop to the garbage can, the outlet can be closed by the cover, temporarily storing the garbage in the scoop. Once the scoop is at the opening of the garbage can, the outlet can be opened, allowing the garbage to be discharged from the second opening and the outlet into the garbage can, preventing garbage from spilling during movement and improving the user experience.

[0008] In one alternative embodiment, the cover includes a baffle whose shape matches the shape of the second opening. The side of the baffle forms the outlet between itself and the scoop. When the scoop and the cover slide relatively close together, the scoop abuts against the side of the baffle to close the outlet. When the scoop and the cover slide relatively away from each other, the scoop moves away from the side of the baffle to open the outlet.

[0009] The advantage is that the outlet is set between the baffle and the hopper, so there is no need to dig out the outlet separately on the cover, which makes the processing convenient.

[0010] In one alternative embodiment, the hopper includes a bottom plate, and the outlet is formed between the lower side of the baffle and the bottom plate;

[0011] And / or the cover may further include a side plate at an angle to the baffle, the side plate extending from the two sides and the top side of the baffle toward the hopper, such that the cover is partially enclosed and mounted on the end of the hopper having the second opening.

[0012] The advantages are that the discharge outlet is defined by the lower side of the baffle and the bottom plate, making the discharge outlet and the bottom plate flush. When dumping garbage, simply opening the discharge outlet allows the garbage to be discharged by its own weight. This makes operation more convenient for users. Angle-set side plates at both ends of the baffle allow both ends to slide simultaneously during movement, preventing the baffle from wobbling during sliding.

[0013] In one optional embodiment, the winnowing basket is provided with a sliding part, and the cover is provided with a sliding engagement part. When the sliding part engages with the sliding engagement part, the cover is slidably mounted on the winnowing basket.

[0014] The advantage is that the cover and the scoop are slidably connected through a sliding part and a sliding mating part, allowing the cover to slide relative to the scoop along a preset trajectory. This prevents the cover from deviating from its direction when sliding relative to the scoop.

[0015] In one optional embodiment, the sliding part is disposed on the outer surface of the winnowing basket, the sliding mating part is disposed on the inner surface of the cover, and the cover is sleeved and installed on the outer side of the winnowing basket.

[0016] And / or the scoop has at least two sliding parts on the same side;

[0017] And / or the scoop has sliding parts on at least two opposite sides.

[0018] The advantage is that it makes the cover more stable and reliable when sliding relative to the scoop, and the cover is less likely to wobble when sliding.

[0019] In one optional embodiment, one of the sliding part and the sliding mating part is a groove and the other is a slider, the slider is strip-shaped and the length of the slider matches the length of the groove.

[0020] The advantage is that the structure of the chute and slider is simpler to produce and assemble, and the lengths of the slider and chute are matched so that the cover can avoid wobbling up and down when it slides relative to the hopper.

[0021] In one optional embodiment, a drive unit is further included, which is connected to the scoop bucket. The drive unit includes a first state and a second state. In the first state, the drive unit is connected to the scoop bucket. When the drive unit switches to the second state, the drive unit is connected to the cover, so that in the second state, the drive unit is driven to slide the cover to open or close the outlet.

[0022] Alternatively, the driving unit may be connected to the cover, and the driving unit may be driven to slide the cover to open or close the outlet.

[0023] The advantage is that it has two states. The first state is equivalent to the locked state, where the drive unit is not directly connected to the cover and cannot drive the cover to slide. The second state is equivalent to the unlocked state. Only in the second state can the drive unit drive the cover to slide and open or close the outlet. Switching the drive unit from the first state to the second state can prevent user misoperation and prevent the cover from sliding during normal garbage collection, resulting in a better user experience.

[0024] In one optional embodiment, the winnowing basket and the cover are provided with a switching groove, the switching groove having a first end on the winnowing basket and a second end on the cover, the driving part including a switching part that cooperates with the switching groove, in a first state, the switching part cooperates with the first end, and when switching to a second state, the switching part slides along the switching groove to cooperate with the second end;

[0025] And / or the winnowing basket also includes a handle, the handle being rotatably connected to the winnowing basket, the drive unit being coaxially disposed with the handle, and in the second state, the drive unit sliding relative to the handle to drive the cover to open or close the outlet.

[0026] The advantages are that the switching slot allows the drive unit to switch from engaging with the scoop to engaging with the cover. This switching operation is equivalent to the unlocking process, which avoids user misoperation. At the same time, the structure is simpler and easier to manufacture. When the drive unit is driven by sliding relative to the handle, it is convenient for the user to hold the handle with one hand and the drive unit with the other hand to move the cover closer to or away from the scoop. This makes the operation simpler and the user experience better.

[0027] In one optional embodiment, a reset mechanism is provided between the scoop and the cover. When the outlet is open, the reset mechanism is in a charged state; when the outlet is closed, the reset mechanism is in a relaxed state.

[0028] The advantage is that when the user drives the cover to slide relatively away from the hopper, they can cancel the drive of the cover, causing it to return to a position closer to the hopper, so that the cover can slide again, resulting in a better user experience.

[0029] In one alternative implementation, the outlet is opened when the shield is driven away from the hopper by the sliding action.

[0030] And / or when the shield is driven to slide closer to the hopper, to close the outlet.

[0031] The advantage is that when the cover slides relative to the scoop, it is usually in a position away from the user. Driving the cover allows it to slide towards the end away from the user to discharge the garbage, preventing garbage from splashing onto the user during discharge and providing a better user experience.

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, 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.

[0047] This utility model relates to a winnowing basket, comprising: a winnowing basket 10, the winnowing basket 10 including a first opening 11 for garbage to enter the winnowing basket 10 and a second opening 12 for garbage to exit the winnowing basket 10; a cover 20, the cover 20 being slidably connected to the winnowing basket 10 near the second opening 12, the cover 20 having a discharge outlet 21, so that garbage enters the winnowing basket 10 from the first opening 11 and exits sequentially along the second opening 12 and the discharge outlet 21; when the winnowing basket 10 and the cover 20 slide relative to each other, the discharge outlet 21 is opened or closed.

[0048] A first opening 11 and a second opening 12 are provided on the scoop 10. The second opening 12 and the discharge outlet 21 are used to discharge garbage from the scoop 10. This allows users to empty the garbage without having to point the first opening 11 downwards towards the garbage can, thus preventing garbage from falling out of the first opening 11. It also eliminates the need to raise the scoop 10 too high; the discharge outlet 21 only needs to be higher than the opening of the garbage can, making it more convenient to use. A cover 20 is provided, which can open or close the discharge outlet 21. When moving the scoop 10 to the garbage can, the discharge outlet 21 can be closed by the cover 20 to temporarily store the garbage in the scoop 10. When the scoop 10 is moved to the garbage can, the discharge outlet 21 can be opened to discharge the garbage from the second opening 12 and the discharge outlet 21 into the garbage can, preventing garbage from spilling during the movement and improving the user experience.

[0049] The scoop 10 forms the main body for containing garbage. The scoop 10 has a first opening 11 and a second opening 12. The first opening 11 allows garbage to enter the scoop 10, and the second opening 12 allows garbage to exit the scoop 10. In this example, the first opening 11 and the second opening 12 are preferably arranged opposite each other at opposite ends of the scoop 10, so that after the user shovels the garbage into the scoop 10 through the first opening 11, he only needs to tilt the scoop 10 to raise the first opening 11 to discharge the garbage through the second opening 12. This is convenient to use. It is understood that the first opening 11 and the second opening 12 can be arranged non-oppositely. For example, the first opening 11 is located at the front of the scoop 10, and the second opening 12 is located on the side or bottom of the scoop 10. In this example, the scoop 10 is preferably square in structure.

[0050] The cover 20 is used to cover the second opening 12. The cover 20 is located near the second opening 12 in the winnowing basket 10 so that when the cover 20 is near the second opening 12, the cover 20 can close the second opening 12 to shut it off; when the cover 20 is in the second opening 12, the cover 20 can maintain a certain distance from the second opening 12 to open the second opening 12.

[0051] The cover 20 has a discharge port 21, which is used to discharge the garbage from the second opening 12 into the hopper 10. In this example, the discharge port 21 is preferably located at the bottom of the cover 20, so that the hopper 10 can discharge garbage without tilting. If the hopper 10 is placed on the garbage can and the bottom surface of the hopper 10 is facing the opening of the garbage can, when the cover 20 is opened, the discharge port 21 is opened, so that the garbage can be pushed out from the discharge port 21, resulting in a better user experience.

[0052] Understandably, the discharge outlet 21 can also be located on the side of the cover 20, as long as it can discharge garbage from the hopper 10.

[0053] The scoop 10 and the cover 20 slide relative to each other. In this example, the cover 20 slides relatively closer to or relatively farther away from the side wall of the scoop 10 to open or close the second opening 12.

[0054] In one optional embodiment, the cover 20 includes a baffle 22, the shape of which matches the shape of the second opening 12. The side of the baffle 22 forms the outlet 21 between it and the hopper 10. When the hopper 10 and the cover 20 slide relatively close to each other, the hopper 10 abuts against the side of the baffle 22 to close the outlet 21. When the hopper 10 and the cover 20 slide relatively far apart, the hopper 10 moves away from the side of the baffle 22 to open the outlet 21. The outlet 21 is provided between the baffle 22 and the hopper 10, so that it is not necessary to separately carve the outlet 21 on the cover 20, which facilitates processing.

[0055] The baffle 22 is used to close the second opening 12, so the size and shape of the baffle 22 should be greater than or equal to the size and shape of the second opening 12, so that the baffle 22 can completely cover the second opening 12 and prevent the cover 20 from leaking garbage when closing the second opening 12. In this example, the baffle 22 is preferably inclined, and the top of the baffle 22 is inclined towards the second opening 12. The second opening 12 also forms an inclined trend, which is also convenient for better garbage discharge.

[0056] An outlet 21 is formed between the side of the baffle 22 and the hopper 10. Preferably, the hopper 10 includes a bottom plate 13, and the outlet 21 is formed between the lower side of the baffle 22 and the bottom plate 13. As the cover 20 moves, the lower side of the baffle 22 abuts against or disengages from the bottom plate 13 of the hopper 10 to close or open the outlet 21. The outlet 21 is defined by the lower side of the baffle 22 and the bottom plate 13, so that the outlet 21 and the bottom plate 13 are on the same plane. When dumping garbage, when the hopper 10 is moved above the garbage can, only the outlet 21 needs to be opened to discharge the garbage by its own gravity, making the operation more convenient for users.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, the cover 20 further includes a side plate 23 at an angle to the baffle 22. The side plate 23 extends from both sides and the top side of the baffle 22 toward the hopper 10, so that the cover 20 is partially enclosed and installed on the end of the hopper 10 having the second opening 12. The side plates 23 at an angle are provided at both ends of the baffle 22 so that both ends of the baffle 22 can slide simultaneously when the baffle 22 moves, preventing the baffle 22 from shaking during sliding.

[0058] Side plate 23 is used to connect baffle 22 and scoop 10. Side plate 23 and baffle 22 form an angle. The size of the angle matches the angle between the side wall of scoop 10 and the surface where the second opening 12 is located, so that when the cover 20 is closed, the cover 20 and the scoop 10 fit together tightly. Preferably, side plate 23 is formed by extending the two sides and the upper side of baffle 22 toward the scoop 10, so that the cover 20 forms a semi-enclosed structure, that is, the cover 20 forms a lying bucket shape, and the bottom opening of the cover 20 forms an outlet 21, so that the three side plates 23 on the cover 20 are slidably connected to the side plates 23 of the scoop 10, that is, the cover 20 is semi-enclosed and installed at the end of the scoop 10 with the second opening 12.

[0059] In one optional embodiment, the winnowing basket 10 is provided with a sliding part 14, and the cover 20 is provided with a sliding engagement part 24. When the sliding part 14 engages with the sliding engagement part 24, the cover 20 is slidably mounted on the winnowing basket 10. The cover 20 and the winnowing basket 10 are slidably connected through the sliding part 14 and the sliding engagement part 24, allowing the cover 20 to slide relative to the winnowing basket 10 along a preset trajectory. This prevents the cover 20 from deviating in direction when sliding relative to the winnowing basket 10.

[0060] In one optional embodiment, the sliding part 14 is disposed on the outer surface of the scoop 10, the sliding mating part 24 is disposed on the inner surface of the cover 20, and the cover 20 is sleeved and installed on the outer side of the scoop 10 so that the cover 20 can hide the sliding part 14 and the sliding mating part 24.

[0061] Understandably, the sliding part 14 is provided on the inner side wall of the hopper 10, and the sliding mating part 24 is provided on the outer side wall of the cover 20. The cover 20 is inserted into the second opening 12 of the hopper 10, so that the cover 20 slides in the second opening 12.

[0062] The winnowing basket 10 has at least two sliding parts 14 on the same side, and the two sliding parts 14 are arranged in parallel. The corresponding cover 20 has at least two sliding mating parts 24 at one end, so that the cover 20 is more stable and reliable when sliding relative to the winnowing basket 10, and the cover 20 is not easy to shake when sliding.

[0063] The winnowing basket 10 is provided with sliding parts 14 on at least two opposite sides, so that the opposite ends of the cover 20 can keep synchronized when sliding, so as to avoid the cover 20 getting stuck during the sliding process.

[0064] In one optional embodiment, one of the sliding part 14 and the sliding mating part 24 is a groove and the other is a slider. The slider is strip-shaped and its length matches the length of the groove. The structure of the groove and the slider is simpler to manufacture and assemble. The matching length of the slider and the groove can prevent the cover 20 from wobbling up and down when it slides relative to the hopper 10.

[0065] Understandably, one of the sliding part 14 and the sliding engagement part 24 can be a gear and the other a rack. The gear meshes with the rack so that the cover 20 can move in or out of the hopper 10 through the second opening 12. Of course, the scheme of the cover 20 driving the gear to rotate during horizontal movement is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0066] It is understandable that either the sliding part 14 or the sliding mating part 24 can be a roller and the other can be a track. The roller can slide or move along the track. The specific scheme is similar to the gear-rack mating method described above, and will not be elaborated here.

[0067] In an optional embodiment, a drive unit 30 is further included, which is connected to the scoop 10. The drive unit 30 includes a first state and a second state. In the first state, the drive unit 30 is connected to the scoop 10. When the drive unit 30 switches to the second state, the drive unit 30 is connected to the cover 20, so that in the second state, the drive unit 30 is driven to slide the cover 20 to open or close the outlet 21.

[0068] The system has two states. The first state is equivalent to a locked state, where the drive unit 30 is not directly connected to the cover 20 and cannot drive the cover 20 to slide. The second state is equivalent to an unlocked state, where the drive unit 30 can drive the cover 20 to slide and open or close the outlet 21. Switching the drive unit 30 from the first state to the second state can prevent user misoperation and prevent the cover 20 from sliding during normal garbage collection, resulting in a better user experience.

[0069] The drive unit 30 is used to drive the cover 20 to slide, so there must be a connection between the drive unit 30 and the cover 20. In this example, the preferred drive unit 30 includes a drive rod, one end of which is provided with a crossbar, and the two ends of the crossbar are respectively connected to the two ends of the cover 20. The other end of the drive rod is formed as an operating end for the user to hold.

[0070] Understandably, one end of the drive lever is connected to the top center of the cover 20, and the other end of the drive lever forms an operating end for the user to hold.

[0071] In one optional embodiment, the winnowing basket 10 and the cover 20 are provided with a switching groove 40. The switching groove 40 has a first end 41 on the winnowing basket 10 and a second end 42 on the cover 20. The driving part 30 includes a switching part that cooperates with the switching groove 40. In the first state, the switching part cooperates with the first end 41. When switching to the second state, the switching part slides along the switching groove 40 to cooperate with the second end 42.

[0072] A switching groove 40 is provided to allow the drive unit 30 to switch from engaging with the scoop 10 to engaging with the cover 20. This switching operation is equivalent to an unlocking process to avoid user misoperation. It also simplifies the structure and makes manufacturing easier. In this example, the preferred switching groove 40 spans the cover 20 and the scoop 10. Specifically, the switching groove 40 includes a first groove on the scoop 10 and a second groove on the side plate 23 of the cover 20. The first groove and the second groove are connected so that the switching unit can move along the switching groove 40 from the scoop 10 to the cover 20. In the first state, the switching unit slides to the end of the first groove away from the second groove; in the second state, the switching unit slides to the end of the second groove away from the first groove. In this example, the preferred switching unit is a slider that engages with the switching groove 40. This example does not limit the shape of the switching unit, as long as it matches the shape of the switching groove 40.

[0073] The winnowing basket also includes a handle 50, which is rotatably connected to the winnowing basket 10. The drive unit 30 is coaxially arranged with the handle 50. In the second state, the drive unit 30 slides relative to the handle 50 to drive the cover 20 to open or close the outlet 21. The handle 50 serves as a handle for the winnowing basket, so that the user can move the winnowing basket by using the handle 50. In this example, the handle 50 is movably connected to the winnowing basket 10. Preferably, one end of the handle 50 is hinged to the winnowing basket 10, so that the handle 50 can rotate relative to the winnowing basket 10 to switch between the first state and the second state. In the first state, the handle 50 is vertically distributed relative to the winnowing basket 10. In the second state, the handle 50 is parallel to the winnowing basket 10, so that the user can move the winnowing basket by using the handle 50 in the first state. When it is necessary to dump garbage, simply rotate the handle 50 to the second state to unlock it, and then drive the drive unit 30 to slide along the axial direction of the handle 50 to drive the cover 20 to slide.

[0074] By coaxially arranging the drive unit 30 and the handle 50, the drive unit 30 and the handle 50 can slide relative to each other. Preferably, the drive rod in the drive unit 30 is a sleeve, which is sleeved on the handle 50. The sleeve can slide along the handle 50, thereby causing the cover 20 to slide.

[0075] When the drive unit 30 is driven by sliding relative to the handle 50, it is convenient for the user to hold the handle 50 with one hand and the drive unit 30 with the other hand, thereby causing the cover 20 to slide closer to or away from the hopper 10. This makes the operation simpler and the user experience better.

[0076] In another optional embodiment, the drive unit 30 is connected to the cover 20. The drive unit 30 is driven to slide the cover 20 to open or close the outlet 21. The drive unit 30 is directly connected to the cover 20 so that the slide of the cover 20 can be driven by the drive unit 30. In this example, the drive unit 30 can be engaged with the shaft-hole of the cover 20 or with a screw, as long as the drive unit 30 is driven to slide the cover 20 synchronously.

[0077] In one optional embodiment, a reset mechanism 60 is provided between the scoop 10 and the cover 20. When the outlet 21 is open, the reset mechanism 60 is in a charged state; when the outlet 21 is closed, the reset mechanism 60 is in a relaxed state. This allows the user to cancel the drive of the cover 20 when it is sliding away from the scoop 10, so that the cover 20 can be reset to a position close to the scoop 10, facilitating the sliding of the cover 20 again and providing a better user experience.

[0078] The reset mechanism 60 is used to automatically reset the cover 20 to be close to the hopper 10 after it slides away from the hopper 10. In this example, the preferred reset mechanism 60 includes a tension spring, a first connecting part, a second connecting part, and a cover. Specifically, the first connecting part is provided on the cover 20, the second connecting part is provided on the hopper 10, the hooks at both ends of the tension spring are connected to the first connecting part and the second connecting part respectively, and the cover is connected to the hopper 10 to form a placement cavity. The cover can be movably connected to the inner wall of the hopper 10 or fixedly connected, so that the tension spring is placed in the placement cavity. When the cover 20 slides away from the hopper 10, it will drive the tension spring to be stretched to a stored state. When the drive of the cover 20 is canceled, the cover 20 will slide towards the hopper 10 under the action of the reset force of the tension spring to close the outlet 21.

[0079] Understandably, the reset mechanism 60 can also use a spring. For example, when the cover 20 is close to the hopper 10, the spring is compressed to put it in a stored state. At this time, the cover 20 is locked in a position close to the hopper 10. When it is necessary to open the outlet 21, it is only necessary to release the lock of the cover 20. The cover 20 will pop out under the reset force of the spring and open the outlet 21.

[0080] In one alternative implementation, the outlet 21 is opened when the cover 20 is driven to slide away from the scoop 10; and / or the outlet 21 is closed when the cover 20 is driven to slide closer to the scoop 10. By driving the cover 20 to slide relative to the scoop 10, the cover 20 is generally in a position away from the user. Driving the cover 20 allows it to slide towards the end away from the user to discharge the waste, preventing waste from splashing onto the user during discharge and providing a better user experience.

[0081] Understandably, the outlet 21 can also be opened by driving the scoop 10 away from the cover 20 and sliding it closer to the cover 20, and the outlet 21 can be closed by driving the scoop 10 closer to the cover 20. Specifically, the drive unit 30 can be provided on the scoop 10 and the handle 50 can be provided on the cover 20, so that the user holds the handle 50 with one hand and the drive rod of the drive unit 30 with the other hand and slides it relative to the handle 50, thereby driving the scoop 10 away from or closer to the cover 20 to open or close the outlet 21.
