Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of barrel structure technology, specifically a barrel structure that can be stably stacked in multiple layers. Background Technology
[0002] In daily life, plastic buckets and wooden barrels are commonly used to store and transport liquids such as water, cooking oil, and alcohol. They can also be used to hold items such as grains and clothing. For example, common household items include water buckets for water storage, toilets for sanitation facilities, and bath tubs for bathing. In the industrial sector, plastic packaging barrels are mostly used to hold liquids and solids such as chemical raw materials, pesticides, lubricants, and paints. Metal barrels, such as oil drums, are commonly used to store and transport petroleum, gasoline, diesel, and other oil products.
[0003] Common buckets are generally made of food-grade plastics such as polycarbonate (PC), which have high strength and transparency and can withstand certain pressure and impact. The bucket body is usually cylindrical, with an upward-protruding outlet in the center of the top of the bucket body and a recessed part in the center of the bottom of the bucket body. The size of the recessed part is larger than the size of the outlet, and both are usually cylindrical. Corresponding positioning rings are also provided at the same radial position at the bottom and top of the bucket body. The bottom and top of the bucket body are generally conical and their shapes correspond to each other.
[0004] During storage and transportation, the coupling positions between the bottom and the lid of the barrel are nested, and the positioning ring at the bottom of the upper barrel is engaged with the positioning ring at the top of the lower barrel, making the stacking of barrels more reliable and reducing the space occupied during storage and transportation. However, this structure is less stable when stacked in multiple layers, so a barrel structure that can be stably stacked in multiple layers is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a barrel-shaped structure that can be stably stacked in multiple layers, possessing the advantage of good stability and solving the problem of low stability in traditional barrel-shaped structures when stacking multiple layers.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a barrel structure that can stably stack multiple layers, including a barrel body, a barrel base fixed to the bottom of the barrel body, a barrel lid threadedly connected to the top of the barrel body, a support structure fixed to the outside of the barrel body, and a locking structure provided on the outside of the barrel lid. The inner wall of the bucket base is fixed with a bracket, and the side of the bracket is provided with a locking slot for a locking structure. The inside of the bucket lid is a hollow structure and the top surface is provided with an insertion slot for use with the bracket. The inner wall of the insertion slot is provided with several locking slots for use with the locking structure. The locking structure includes an adjusting disc rotatably connected to the outside of the bucket lid, a rotating gear ring fixed to the inside of the adjusting disc, several locking springs fixed to the bucket lid fixed to the inside of the rotating gear ring, several rotating rods rotatably connected inside the bucket lid, a gear cooperating with the rotating gear ring fixed to the bottom of the rotating rod, and a locking plate fixed to the top outside of the rotating rod.
[0007] Furthermore, the support structure includes several annularly distributed support grooves on the outside of the barrel, and a support rod is fixed inside the support groove. Both the upper and lower ends of the support rod have annular fixing rings.
[0008] Furthermore, a number of annularly distributed fan-shaped grooves are provided in the middle of the outer side of the barrel, and a lifting handle for carrying the barrel is fixed inside the fan-shaped groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the side of the bucket lid is provided with several sliding slots, and the inner side of the adjusting plate is fixed with several connecting rods that pass through the sliding slots to the inside of the bucket lid.
[0010] Furthermore, one end of the connecting rod located inside the bucket lid is fixedly installed with the rotating toothed ring, a support column is fixedly installed at the center of the hollow structure of the bucket lid, and the end of the locking spring away from the rotating toothed ring is fixedly installed with the support column.
[0011] Furthermore, the two ends of the rotating rod are rotatably connected to the upper and lower side walls inside the bucket lid, respectively, and the gear and the rotating gear ring are connected by tooth meshing transmission.
[0012] Furthermore, two locking plates are fixed to the outer side of the locking plate, extending through the locking slot to the inside of the insertion slot, and the thickness of the locking plates is adapted to the locking slot.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects: 1. This stable stackable barrel structure stacks barrels together. The support of the upper barrel base is embedded in the insertion slot at the top of the barrel lid. Rotating the adjustment disc drives the rotating gear ring to rotate, causing the rotating rod to fully retract the locking plate into the barrel lid. After the support is inserted into the insertion slot, the adjustment disc is released, and the rotating gear ring resets under the restoring force of the locking spring. This causes the rotating rod to rotate the locking plate out again, embedding it into the locking slot, thereby locking the barrel base and barrel lid and improving stacking stability.
[0014] 2. This stable stackable barrel structure forms a ring-shaped support structure by setting support rods and fixing rings on the outside of the barrel, which strengthens the support strength of the barrel and improves the overall structural strength, thereby ensuring the stability when stacked.

Detailed Implementation
[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 2 The stably stackable barrel structure in this embodiment includes a barrel body 1, a barrel base 2 fixed to the bottom of the barrel body 1, a barrel lid 3 threadedly connected to the top of the barrel body 1, a support structure 4 fixed to the outside of the barrel body 1, and a locking structure 5 provided on the outside of the barrel lid 3.
[0019] Please see Figures 2 to 3 In this embodiment, the outer side of the barrel 1 has several annularly distributed fan-shaped grooves 11. The inside of the fan-shaped grooves 11 is fixed with a lifting handle 12 for carrying the barrel 1. The inner side wall of the barrel base 2 is fixed with a bracket 21. The side of the bracket 21 is provided with a locking slot 22 that cooperates with the locking structure 5. The inside of the barrel lid 3 is a hollow structure and the top surface is provided with an insertion slot 31 that cooperates with the bracket 21. The inner side wall of the insertion slot 31 is provided with several locking slots 32 that cooperate with the locking structure 5.
[0020] It should be noted that the bracket 21 and the insertion slot 31 are structures with matching shapes.
[0021] Please see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the support structure 4 includes several annularly distributed support grooves on the outside of the barrel 1. Support rods 41 are fixed inside the support grooves, and both the upper and lower ends of the support rods 41 have annular fixing rings 42.
[0022] Please see Figures 5 to 7 In this embodiment, the locking structure 5 includes an adjusting plate 51 rotatably connected to the outside of the bucket lid 3. A rotating gear ring 52 is fixed to the inside of the adjusting plate 51. Several locking springs 53 fixed to the bucket lid 3 are fixed to the inside of the rotating gear ring 52. Several rotating rods 54 are rotatably connected to the inside of the bucket lid 3. A gear 55 that works with the rotating gear ring 52 is fixed to the bottom of the rotating rod 54. A locking plate 56 is fixed to the top outside of the rotating rod 54.
[0023] In this embodiment, the side of the bucket lid 3 is provided with several sliding slots. Several connecting rods that penetrate through the sliding slots to the inside of the bucket lid 3 are fixed on the inner side of the adjusting plate 51. One end of the connecting rod located inside the bucket lid 3 is fixedly installed with the rotating gear ring 52. Rotating the adjusting plate 51 can drive the connecting rod to slide inside the sliding slot, and at the same time drive the rotating gear ring 52 to rotate. A support column is fixed at the center of the hollow structure of the bucket lid 3. The end of the locking spring 53 away from the rotating gear ring 52 is fixedly installed with the support column. The two ends of the locking spring 53 are fixed to the rotating gear ring 52 and the bucket lid 3 respectively. The two ends of the rotating rod 54 are rotatably connected to the upper and lower side walls inside the bucket lid 3 respectively. The gear 55 is connected to the rotating gear ring 52 through tooth meshing. Two locking plates that penetrate through the locking slot 32 to the inside of the insertion slot 31 are fixed on the outer side of the locking plate 56. The thickness of the locking plates is adapted to the locking slot 22.
[0024] It should be noted that when the locking spring 53 is not subjected to external force, it is in the open state, which causes the rotating gear ring 52 to engage with the gear 55 and drive the locking plate 56 to push the card plate into the insertion slot 31 to the maximum extent.
[0025] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows: By stacking different buckets 1, the bucket seat 2 of the upper bucket 1 is placed on top of the bucket lid 3. At this time, the bracket 21 is inserted into the insertion slot 31, but not completely. By rotating the adjusting plate 51, the rotating gear ring 52 is rotated, which causes the gear 55 to drive the rotating rod 54 to drive the locking plate 56 to rotate. During the rotation, the locking plate 56 is completely screwed into the locking slot 32. The bottom of the bracket 21 loses support and is fully inserted into the insertion slot 31, realizing the stable nesting of the bucket seat 2 and the bucket lid 3. At this time, the adjusting plate 51 is released, and the restoring force of the locking spring 53 pulls the rotating gear ring 52 to reset, which in turn drives the gear 55 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 55 drives the rotating rod 54 and the locking plate 56 to rotate. During the rotation, the locking plate 56 inserts the card plate into the locking slot 22, so that the bucket seat 2 and the bucket lid 3 form a stable fixed structure, preventing the buckets 1 from shaking during stacking. This solves the problem of low stability of traditional bucket structures when stacked in multiple layers.
