Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of waste treatment technology, specifically a waste collection box that can connect a trash can and a flexible collection container that can be suspended. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the structure of waste sorting collection bins on the market, and the design of their disposal openings, are mainly for users to dispose of bagged waste and loose waste.

[0003] This design, to a certain extent, meets the waste disposal needs of the vast majority of users who are accustomed to using plastic bags to pack their waste, and is suitable for both bagged and loose waste.

[0004] Currently, outdoor waste sorting and collection bins have the following shortcomings:

[0005] 1. Existing outdoor waste sorting and collection bins mainly use rigid collection materials. The volume allocation of rigid collection bins for each type of waste is fixed. Often, the rigid collection bins for one type of waste are not full, while the rigid collection bins for other types are only slightly full. The remaining container space cannot be shared, resulting in the overflowing of waste in the rigid collection bins and wasting the limited collection space of the bins.

[0006] 2. Lack of a support platform at the disposal opening for lifting the trash can for disposal: The existing trash can disposal openings do not have a support platform. When users use household trash cans to dispose of trash, they cannot lift the trash cans, making it difficult for users to easily move and dispose of different types of household waste on the support platform.

[0007] 3. The design of the disposal opening is difficult to meet the requirements of certain special connection objects. For example, the patent application filed by the applicant, authorized announcement number N219135234U, is entitled "A Type of Item Classification and Storage Bin". When using this storage bin to dispose of garbage outdoors, it will be very inconvenient to dispose of garbage on outdoor garbage classification collection bins where there is no supporting platform in front of the disposal opening and the horizontal or vertical dimensions of the disposal opening cannot meet the connection requirements of the item classification and storage bin. Sometimes, it may even be impossible to achieve the purpose of successful disposal. Utility Model Content

[0008] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a waste collection box that can connect to a trash can and a suspendable flexible collection container. This solves the problems in the prior art where waste sorting collection boxes are not easy to connect and cooperate with upstream trash cans, and where the fixed volume of the rigid collection bins used to collect various types of waste results in a waste of space due to the inability to share space.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0010] A waste collection container that can be connected to a trash can and a suspendable flexible collection container includes a container body, a suspension device, and an operating platform;

[0011] The suspension device is used to suspend the upper port of the flexible collection container; the suspension device includes a bracket disposed inside the box and a sliding frame slidably disposed on the bracket, the sliding frame being used to install the flexible collection container;

[0012] The operating platform is located at the top of the container; it includes a support platform on the front for holding the garbage bins for disposal, and a disposal surface behind the support platform; the surface of the support platform is flat; the disposal surface has multiple disposal openings for disposing of garbage and connecting to garbage bins; the disposal openings for disposing of garbage and connecting to garbage bins are rectangular in shape, with a horizontal dimension larger than the diameter of the discharge port of the connected item sorting and storage bin, and a vertical dimension projected vertically onto the horizontal plane larger than half the diameter of the discharge port of the connected item sorting and storage bin; the edge of the disposal opening that connects to the support platform is not higher than the surface of the support platform.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows:

[0014] The suspension device design allows for the installation of flexible collection containers, improving the convenience and compatibility of various waste collection container types. Utilizing the flexible cavity characteristics of the containers, it provides technical support for making full use of the limited collection space within the bin. During use, the sliding frame can be pulled out of the bin for easy installation and cleaning of the flexible collection containers. The operating platform design provides users with a support platform for placing and disposing of waste bins. Multiple disposal openings correspond to the same support platform, allowing users to easily move the waste bins for sorting and disposal. The disposal openings for disposing of waste and connecting to the waste bins are rectangular in shape. The horizontal dimension is larger than the diameter of the unloading port of the connected item sorting and storage bin, and the vertical dimension projected vertically onto the horizontal plane is larger than half the diameter of the unloading port of the connected item sorting and storage bin; and the edge of the inlet connecting to the support platform is not higher than the support platform surface. This setting makes it more convenient for users to use the patent applied for by the applicant, authorized announcement number N219135234U, entitled "An Item Sorting and Storage Bin", hereinafter referred to as "Item Sorting and Storage Bin", because the item sorting and storage bin adopts the method of unloading from the bottom of the bin, and the collected waste of various categories is put into the corresponding inlet from the unloading port at the bottom of the bin;

[0015] As a further improvement to the above solution, the inner wall of the sliding frame is provided with a Velcro surface for connecting the flexible collection container; the outer wall of the upper port of the flexible collection container is provided with a Velcro surface.

[0016] The beneficial effect of the above improvements is that flexible garbage bags can be easily installed and removed for garbage disposal.

[0017] As a further improvement to the above solution, the sliding frame is provided with a clamping frame for pressing the flexible collection container.

[0018] The beneficial effect of the above improvements is that the garbage bag can be fixed in the sliding frame by pressing the frame.

[0019] As a further improvement to the above solution, one end of the clamping frame is hinged to the sliding frame to enable a flip-open operation.

[0020] The beneficial effect of the above improvements is that they enhance the ease of use of the clamping frame.

[0021] As a further improvement to the above solution, when the delivery surface is an inclined plane, the horizontal dimension of the delivery port is set to be more than 30cm, and the vertical dimension of its vertical projection on the horizontal plane is set to be more than 15cm; when the delivery surface is a horizontal plane, the horizontal dimension of the delivery port is more than 30cm, and the vertical dimension is more than 15cm.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the above improvements are: firstly, they facilitate connection with current household plastic trash cans whose maximum horizontal dimension is generally 25 to 30 centimeters; secondly, they facilitate connection with sorting bins whose outlet diameter is designed to be 30 centimeters or more, but smaller than the horizontal dimension of the bin's loading opening, with a connection gap remaining.

[0023] As a further improvement to the above solution, a top groove is provided at the top of the operating table; a collection trough is placed inside the top groove.

[0024] The benefits of the above improvements are that they enable more effective sorting and collection of different types of waste, especially providing a more refined collection solution for waste that is small in size but varies in length.

[0025] As a further improvement to the above solution, an inner cover is provided inside the delivery port. The upper end of the inner cover is installed on the side of the mounting sleeve. The mounting sleeve is set on the horizontal axis, and a counterweight rod for suspending the counterweight block is provided on the other side of the mounting sleeve.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the above improvements are as follows: the inner cover is automatically controlled by the counterweight and is normally closed without external force. It is also very convenient to use the item sorting bin to push forward directly, so that the inner cover can be opened for garbage disposal. After the garbage disposal is completed and the item sorting bin is removed, the inner cover will close due to the counterweight swinging back.

[0027] As a further improvement to the above solution, a sliding inner cover is provided inside the dispensing port, and the inner cover is installed inside the dispensing port on both sides via slide rails; a protruding handle is provided on the inner cover.

[0028] The beneficial effects of the above improvements are as follows: when the disposal surface is horizontal, the inner cover can be opened and closed by sliding, and the opening and closing of the inner cover will not affect the collection of the collection container below the disposal opening. It is also very convenient to use the item sorting and storage bin to push the inner cover forward to open the inlet for garbage disposal.

[0029] As a further improvement to the above solution, one operating table is provided on the front and one on the back of the housing.

[0030] The beneficial effect of the above improvements is that, where the placement of the waste sorting collection bins allows and is necessary, multiple users can conveniently dispose of their waste on both sides simultaneously.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in the following aspects:

[0032] 1. Support platform: A support platform is provided on the control panel to place the trash can, making it easier for users to dispose of trash and improving the convenience of trash disposal.

[0033] 2. Suspension device: The bin is equipped with a suspension device for suspending flexible collection containers, which provides conditions for sharing the limited space of the bin.

[0047] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0048] Example 1:

[0049] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the specific solution in this embodiment is as follows:

[0050] A garbage collection box that can connect to a garbage bin and a suspendable flexible collection container includes a box body 1, a suspension device 14, and an operating platform 3.

[0051] The suspension device 14 is used to suspend the upper port of the flexible collection container 18; the suspension device 14 includes a bracket 15 disposed inside the box body 1 and a sliding frame 11 slidably disposed on the bracket 15, the sliding frame 11 is used to install and remove the flexible collection container 18; the suspension device 14 is arranged in two or more adjacent to each other.

[0052] The sliding frame 11 is rectangular, and both sides of the sliding frame 11 are mounted on the hanger 15. There are rollers 112 at the bottom of both sides of the sliding frame 11 to facilitate sliding on the hanger 15. The hanger 15 is a track structure and is installed inside the box 1, so that the sliding frame 11 can be pulled out or pushed in.

[0053] The front of the box 1 is equipped with an openable box door 7. After opening the box door, the sliding frame 11 is exposed. The flexible collection container 18 is pulled out and installed, and then pushed in, so as to collect the material using the flexible collection container 18 with a flexible cavity. When it is necessary to transfer the material out, the box door is opened, the sliding frame 11 is pulled out, and the flexible collection container is removed for unloading.

[0054] The sliding frame 11 is provided with Velcro on its inner side, and the upper port of the flexible collection container 18 is also provided with Velcro on its outer wall, so that the upper port of the flexible collection container 18 can be easily installed and removed from the inner wall of the sliding frame 11.

[0055] like Figures 6-8 As shown, the upper edge of the sliding frame 11 protrudes upward to form a boss 113; a detachable clamping frame 114 for clamping the flexible collection container 18 is fitted on the boss 113. The flexible collection container 18 is generally a flexible collection bag.

[0056] To further improve the stability of the flexible collection container 18, the upper port of the flexible collection container 18 can be flipped and fitted onto the boss 113, and then the clamping frame 114 can be fitted onto the boss 113 to fix the upper port of the flexible collection container 18.

[0057] The clamping frame 114 can be a separate, independent component, or it can be hinged at one end to the edge of the sliding frame 11 to achieve a flip-open and close function, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the tail end of the clamping frame 114 is hinged to the edge of the sliding frame 11.

[0058] The operating platform 3 is located on the upper part of the box 1; it includes a support platform 2 on the front for holding the trash can for disposing of trash, and a disposal surface 8 behind the support platform 2; the surface of the support platform 2 is flat; the disposal surface 8 has multiple disposal ports 13 for disposing of trash; the disposal port 13 used for disposing of trash and connecting the trash can is rectangular in shape, with a horizontal dimension larger than the diameter of the unloading port of the connected item sorting and storage bin, and a vertical dimension projected vertically onto the horizontal plane larger than half the diameter of the unloading port of the connected item sorting and storage bin; the edge of the disposal port 13 that connects to the support platform 2 is not higher than the surface of the support platform 2.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, the horizontal dimension of the dispensing port is set to be 30cm or more, such as... Figure 1 As shown, B represents the horizontal dimension; the vertical dimension projected onto the horizontal plane is set to be 15cm or more, such as... Figure 1 As shown, A represents the longitudinal dimension. Figure 1 As shown, the item sorting and storage bin 19 is placed on the support platform 2, and half of the item sorting and storage bin 19 is vertically pushed into the delivery port 13, which is a schematic diagram of the item sorting and storage bin 19 being connected to the box.

[0060] In this invention, flexible collection bags can be used to collect garbage. Utilizing the flexible cavity characteristics of the flexible collection container, rigid collection bins are unnecessary, saving costs. The flexible cavity of the flexible collection bag can change according to the amount of garbage filled, allowing adjacent flexible collection bags to share space within the garbage sorting bin. Flexible collection bags with less garbage occupy less space, while those with more garbage occupy more space. This avoids the problem of existing outdoor garbage sorting bins primarily using rigid collection bins, where the volume allocation of each type of garbage in the rigid collection bins is fixed. Often, one type of garbage in a rigid collection bin is full, while other rigid collection bins are only partially filled, resulting in overflowing bins and wasting the limited collection space of the bin.

[0061] Implementation Environment: This embodiment is applicable to public places such as city streets, parks, residential areas, and building corridors for the classified collection of daily household waste. In outdoor areas prone to rain, a canopy can be installed above the bin, or the bin can be placed under a canopy. A monitoring system can also be installed on the bin to facilitate the monitoring of the accuracy of waste disposal. Especially for monitoring the collection and disposal of waste using the applicant's patent application, authorization announcement number N219135234U, entitled "Item Classification and Storage Bin," the open opening of the bin makes the waste classification status immediately apparent, facilitating investigation and rectification.

[0062] Specifically:

[0063] 1. The enclosure 1 is made of high-strength stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and easy to clean. The dimensions of enclosure 1 are 200CM in length, 60CM in width, and 120CM in height. Different sizes can be adopted according to the needs of different locations.

[0064] 2. The support platform 2 is 4*50CM long and 20CM wide. The disposal surface 8 is located behind the support platform 2, forming an angle of about 120° with the support platform 2. This allows the inner cover 9 installed in the disposal port 13 to be opened inward without the lower edge of the inner cover 9 moving down too much and affecting the collection space of the box located below the operating table 3. It also makes it convenient to use the item classification and storage bin 19 to dispose of garbage.

[0065] 3. Dispensing ports 13 are evenly distributed on the dispensing surface 8. Each dispensing port 13 is equipped with an inner cover 9. The inner cover 9 is made of lightweight plastic or stainless steel and is connected by a stainless steel hinge and equipped with a torsion spring to achieve automatic closing.

[0066] 4. The top groove 4 is located at the top of the operating table 3. It has an open design and contains a collection trough.

[0067] 5. The vertical projection dimension of the inlet 13 on the horizontal plane is 20 cm, such as... Figure 1 As shown: The connecting item sorting and storage bin 19 has a longitudinal dimension of less than 20 cm, which makes it easy for the item sorting and storage bin 19 to be pushed halfway into the vertical direction of the disposal port 13 on the horizontal plane for garbage disposal, thus avoiding the disposal port 13 from blocking the discharge port of the sorting and storage bin due to insufficient longitudinal dimension.

[0068] 6. The horizontal dimension of the inlet 13 is 40 cm, such as... Figure 1 As shown: Used in conjunction with the item sorting and storage bin 19. The horizontal dimension of the item sorting and storage bin 19 is less than 40CM, which makes it convenient for the sorting and storage bin to be pushed halfway vertically for garbage disposal, and avoids the disposal opening 13 being blocked by insufficient horizontal dimension.

[0069] The dimensions in points 5 and 6 above are primarily designed for the indoor waste sorting bins 19 used by households, as well as for convenient placement in outdoor stairwells and other locations. Specific dimensions can be adjusted according to actual needs. However, the horizontal dimension of the disposal opening 13 should generally not be less than 30cm, and the vertical projection of the disposal opening 13 onto the horizontal plane should not be less than 15cm.

[0070] Example 2:

[0071] like Figure 1As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the top of the operating table 3 is provided with a top groove 4; a collection trough is placed inside the top groove 4. The collection trough includes a long collection trough 5 and a short collection trough 6.

[0072] Specifically, the top trough 4 is designed with two sizes of collection troughs, made of stainless steel or plastic. The long collection trough 5 is close in length to the body 1, 20 cm wide and 15 cm high; the short collection trough 6 is 20 cm wide and 15 cm high. There are 3 short collection troughs, which facilitate classified collection. The troughs can also be equipped with dividers for collecting small recyclable items such as plastic bottle caps and small metal parts, as well as waste items that should only be collected separately or should not be mixed together.

[0073] Example 3:

[0074] like Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the above embodiment, the top groove portion 4 is provided with an outwardly flip-open cover 12 on the front or back.

[0075] Specifically, a long strip-shaped window is opened on the front or back of the top groove 4, and the two ends of the outer cover 12 are installed in the window through hinge shafts. Opening the outer cover 12 makes it easy to take out the collection groove in the top groove 4 and also makes it easy to clean the inside of the top groove 4.

[0076] Example 4:

[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the upper end of the inner cover 9 is mounted on the side of the mounting sleeve 16, the mounting sleeve 16 is mounted on the horizontal axis, and the other side of the mounting sleeve 16 is provided with a counterweight rod 17 for suspending the counterweight block, so that the inner cover 9 is automatically closed by the gravity of the counterweight block.

[0078] The inner cover 9 is automatically closed by a counterweight, eliminating the need for a spring; simply push the inner cover open when in use.

[0079] Example 5:

[0080] like Figure 5 As shown, one operating platform 3 can be set on the front and one on the back of the container 1, so that the operating platform of this waste sorting collection box has a symmetrical structure. There are supporting platforms 2 and disposal surfaces 8 on the front and back. Disposal openings 13 are opened on the disposal surfaces 8, and users can dispose of waste on the front or back of this waste sorting collection box.

[0081] Example 6:

[0082] like Figure 9 As shown, the dispensing surface 8 is a horizontal plane, the dispensing port 13 is on the same plane as the support platform 2, slide rails are provided on both sides of the dispensing port 13, and a raised handle is provided on the inner cover 9. Pushing the handle can make the inner cover 9 slide open and close.
