Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning tools, and in particular to a flip-over winnowing basket. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional dustpans have a vertical hopper and handle, making it extremely inconvenient for users to empty the trash. To do so, users need to lift the hopper forward onto the trash can using the handle, and then twist the hopper to turn the opening downwards so the trash falls into the bin. This process requires considerable force from the user due to the significant torque between the hopper and the handle during lifting, and the additional twisting action makes it inconvenient to use.

[0003] Therefore, improving the ease of dumping garbage using a dustpan is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a reversible dustpan to solve the problem of inconvenient operation of dustpans for dumping garbage in related technologies.

[0005] This utility model provides a reversible winnowing basket, comprising: A scoop bucket has a garbage-receiving cavity and an opening to facilitate the entry of garbage into the garbage-receiving cavity; A winnowing basket handle, one end of which is rotatably connected to the winnowing basket so that the winnowing basket can be in a tilted state and a usable state; The system includes a locking sleeve and a locking structure. The locking sleeve is slidably fitted onto the outside of the scoop rod, and the locking structure is located on the scoop. When the locking sleeve engages with the locking structure, the scoop and scoop rod can be locked in the working state. When the locking sleeve slides upward along the scoop rod, it can unlock from the locking structure, allowing the scoop to rotate away from the top of the scoop rod, thus switching the scoop from the working state to the dumping state, facilitating the removal of waste from the waste receiving cavity by its own gravity. The device includes a connector and a drive component. The connector is a flexible structure. The drive component is mounted on the scoop rod. One end of the connector is connected to the locking sleeve, and the other end of the connector is connected to the drive component. The drive component can drive the locking sleeve to slide upward along the scoop rod through the connector, thereby unlocking the locking sleeve from the locking structure. When the drive component is stationary and the locking sleeve is driven to slide upward, the connector is deformed by force, thereby keeping the drive component stationary.

[0006] In the above embodiments, the optimized structural design enables the scoop to be locked and easily unlocked. When emptying garbage, the user simply moves the scoop upwards above the garbage bin and operates the drive mechanism (such as a handle) to slide the locking sleeve along the scoop handle, unlocking the locking structure and switching the scoop from the use state to the emptying state. This allows the garbage to fall into the garbage bin through the opening under its own weight, eliminating the need to lift and twist the scoop forward, making the garbage emptying process more effortless and convenient.

[0007] Furthermore, during the garbage dumping process, the connector, acting as a flexible transmission component, effectively transmits the driving force and allows deformation during unlocking, ensuring the driving component remains stationary and improving operational stability and comfort. Moreover, since the locking sleeve slides onto the outside of the scoop handle, fixing the locking sleeve to the scoop handle does not require altering the scoop handle's structure (such as creating grooves), ensuring the scoop handle's strength and preventing dust or debris from entering its interior, thus avoiding the accumulation of dirt and grime inside the scoop handle.

[0008] In some examples, the winnowing basket handle includes a pole and a handle structure located at the end of the pole away from the winnowing basket, with a locking sleeve slidably fitted onto the outside of the pole.

[0009] In the above embodiment, the pole is the main body of the winnowing basket pole, and the handle structure is located at one end of the pole, which is the top position away from the winnowing basket. This design not only takes into account the ease of use, but also ensures that the operator can obtain a more comfortable and stable grip.

[0010] In some examples, the handle structure and the rod are detachably connected.

[0011] In the above embodiments, designing the handle structure and the rod body as a detachable connection offers numerous significant advantages. From a manufacturing perspective, this detachable connection method greatly improves production efficiency. During production, the handle structure and the rod body can be manufactured independently, with each component employing the processing technology best suited to its structure and material characteristics, thereby improving their respective processing precision and quality. After each component is processed, a simple assembly operation completes the overall assembly of the winnowing basket handle, significantly shortening the production cycle and reducing production costs.

[0012] In some examples, the drive element includes a handle structure that is slidably connected to the scoop rod.

[0013] In the above embodiment, the handle structure, as an important component of the driving element, is slidably connected to the winnowing basket handle, providing users with great convenience and comfort. In actual use, the user simply needs to lightly grasp the handle structure and extend their fingers to simultaneously grip the handle structure. The user can then use their fingers to apply force, causing the handle structure to slide along the winnowing basket handle, thereby moving the connecting component and achieving the up-and-down movement of the locking sleeve. This sliding connection method is not only simple and intuitive to operate but also conforms to ergonomic principles, effectively reducing user fatigue during use.

[0014] In some examples, the winnowing basket handle includes a handle structure, a pull handle structure is spaced apart from the handle structure, and the pull handle structure is slidably connected to the handle structure. The handle structure is provided with a groove structure adapted to the pull handle structure, and a limiting member for the limiting pull handle structure is provided in the groove structure.

[0015] In the above embodiments, the sliding groove structure provides a track for the sliding of the handle structure, ensuring that the handle structure will not deviate or wobble during the sliding process, thus guaranteeing the stability and accuracy of the sliding.

[0016] The limiting element installed within the sliding groove structure restricts the sliding range of the handle structure, preventing it from exceeding the predetermined stroke during sliding and thus avoiding structural damage or other problems caused by excessive sliding. For example, when the handle structure slides to the end of the sliding groove structure, the limiting element will stop it from sliding further, ensuring that the handle structure remains in a safe position.

[0017] In some examples, the limiting element is a barb structure set on the inner wall of the chute structure.

[0018] In the above embodiments, the barbed structure is a simple and effective limiting method. Utilizing its special shape characteristics, when the handle structure slides to a specific position, it can engage with the corresponding part on the handle structure, thereby limiting the handle structure.

[0019] In some examples, the locking sleeve includes: The connecting part is fitted and movably connected to the winnowing basket rod; An extension portion connects to the connecting portion and extends toward the direction of the winnowing basket; The extension is equipped with a locking mechanism, which can lock or unlock relative to the locking mechanism.

[0020] In the above embodiments, the functions and overall roles of each structure of the locking sleeve are as follows: The sleeve portion of the locking sleeve is fitted onto and movably connected to the scoop rod, providing a foundation for the locking sleeve to slide along the axial direction of the scoop rod, ensuring that the locking sleeve can move stably up and down, while supporting the extension portion and the locking engagement structure. The extension portion of the locking sleeve connects to the sleeve portion and extends towards the scoop. Its length and angle design allow the locking engagement structure to precisely engage with the locking structure on the scoop, such as a slot, shortening the distance between them to improve the reliability of the mechanical engagement. The locking engagement structure of the locking sleeve is located at the end of the extension portion, forming a mechanical lock with the locking structure on the scoop, such as a snap or a slot. For example, the snap engages with the slot, directly realizing the locking or unlocking function: In the locked state, the locking engagement structure engages with the locking structure, restricting the scoop from rotating around the scoop rod, maintaining its use state, with the opening facing forward to collect garbage; in the unlocked state, the locking sleeve slides upward along the scoop rod, the locking engagement structure separates from the locking structure, releasing the scoop's rotational freedom, allowing it to be flipped to a tilting state, with the opening facing downward to empty garbage.

[0021] In some examples, the locking mechanism is a snap-fit ​​structure and the locking mechanism is a slot structure; or, the locking mechanism is a slot structure and the locking mechanism is a snap-fit ​​structure; the snap-fit ​​structure can engage with the slot structure.

[0022] In the above embodiments, the design of the buckle and slot is not only simple in structure but also provides a stable connection. In practical applications, the buckle structure can be designed as a flexible protrusion to smoothly engage or disengage from the slot structure; the slot structure is correspondingly designed as a groove that matches the shape of the buckle, ensuring a tight fit between the two. When it is necessary to lock the winnowing basket in a certain position, simply align the locking part with the buckle structure with the locking part of the slot structure, and press gently; the buckle will then engage in the slot, achieving a secure lock. When it is necessary to unlock, simply apply a certain amount of external force to disengage the buckle from the slot, restoring the winnowing basket to its free-flipping state. This design ensures both ease of use and reliable locking.

[0023] In some examples, the flip-over scoop also includes an elastic element, the first end of which is connected to a locking sleeve, and the second end of which is connected to the scoop rod. Specifically, when the connecting member is driven to move the locking sleeve upward along the scoop rod, the elastic element accumulates elastic potential energy during the unlocking process between the locking sleeve and the locking structure; when the driving force of the connecting member is removed, the elastic element releases the elastic potential energy, maintaining or resetting the locking sleeve in the locked position relative to the locking structure.

[0024] In the above embodiment, the elastic element provides a reset function for the locking and unlocking process of the flip-over scoop. In actual operation, when the user needs to unlock the scoop for flipping, they only need to apply an upward driving force to the connecting piece. This force will cause the locking sleeve to slide upward along the scoop rod. During this process, since one end of the elastic element is connected to the locking sleeve and the other end is fixed to the scoop rod, the elastic element will be stretched or compressed as the locking sleeve moves, thereby accumulating elastic potential energy. When the user completes the flipping operation and no longer applies a driving force to the connecting piece, the previously accumulated elastic potential energy will be released, pushing the locking sleeve downward until it re-engages with the locking structure, firmly locking the scoop in the desired position, including the position of the scoop in use. This design not only simplifies the user's operation steps but also improves the accuracy and reliability of the scoop locking.

[0025] In some examples, when the locking sleeve includes a locking engagement structure with a guide surface on its outer side; during the process of switching the scoop from a tilting state to a use state, the guide surface abuts against the locking structure, causing the locking sleeve to slide upwards along the scoop rod, moving the locking engagement structure to a position where it can engage with the locking structure. At this time, the elastic element can drive the locking sleeve to reset, so that the locking engagement structure and the locking structure are locked. Furthermore, during the upward sliding of the locking sleeve along the scoop rod, the connecting member is deformed by force to keep the driving member stationary; or... When the locking sleeve includes a locking engagement structure, the outer side of the locking structure has a guide surface; during the process of switching the scoop from the tilting state to the use state, the guide surface abuts against the locking engagement structure, causing the locking sleeve to slide upward along the scoop rod, so that the locking engagement structure moves to a position where it can engage with the locking structure. At this time, the elastic element can drive the locking sleeve to reset, so that the locking engagement structure and the locking structure are locked. During the process of the locking sleeve sliding upward along the scoop rod, the connecting element is deformed by force, so that the driving element remains stationary.

[0026] In the above embodiments, the design of the guide surface improves the safety of using the tiltable scoop in its locking mechanism. Specifically, the guide surface can be located on the outer side of the locking mechanism or the outer side of the locking structure. The guide surface provides precise guidance for the relative movement between the locking sleeve and the locking structure. During the transition from the tilted state to the usable state, the guide surface ensures that the locking sleeve slides smoothly upwards along a predetermined trajectory, preventing locking failure or component damage due to movement deviation. This guidance makes the entire locking process more reliable and stable, improving the safety of using the tiltable scoop.

[0027] The presence of the guide surface optimizes the contact method between the locking and mating structures. By rationally designing the shape and angle of the guide surface, an appropriate pressure distribution can be generated when the two come into contact, ensuring sufficient friction for locking while avoiding excessive wear caused by excessive pressure. For example, designing the guide surface as a curved surface with a certain curvature can make the contact process smoother, reduce impact and noise, and improve the tightness of the lock.

[0028] In the above structure, the elastic element allows the locking sleeve to quickly reset under the action of the elastic element after the guide surface completes its guiding task, thereby achieving a stable lock between the locking and locking structures. Furthermore, the stress-induced deformation design of the connecting member during the sliding process of the locking sleeve effectively prevents unnecessary movement of the driving component, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire switching process.

[0029] In some examples, the flip-over scoop also includes a guide assembly comprising a cooperating guide and a guide protrusion, one of which is disposed on a locking sleeve and the other on the scoop hopper. When the scoop is switched from the tilting state to the use state, the guide and the guide protrusion abut against each other, causing the locking sleeve to slide upward along the scoop rod, so that the locking engagement structure moves to a position that can engage with the locking structure. At this time, the elastic element can drive the locking sleeve to reset, so that the locking engagement structure and the locking structure are locked. During the process of the locking sleeve sliding upward along the scoop rod, the connecting part is deformed by force, so that the driving part remains stationary.

[0030] In the above embodiments, the design of the guide assembly ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the skip's state switching. Specifically, when the skip transitions from the tilted state to the usable state, the contact between the guide member and the guide protrusion plays a crucial guiding role. This contact not only helps the locking sleeve slide precisely upwards along the skip rod but also ensures that the locking engagement structure accurately reaches the position to engage with the locking structure. During this process, the elastic element allows the locking sleeve to quickly reset under the action of the elastic element once the guide member and guide protrusion have completed their guiding task, thereby achieving a stable lock between the locking engagement structure and the locking structure. Furthermore, the stress deformation design of the connecting member during the sliding process of the locking sleeve effectively prevents unnecessary movement of the drive component, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire switching process.

[0031] In some examples, the scoop rod includes at least two sub-bodies, with adjacent sub-bodies detachably connected; and / or, the drive member is detachably connected to the scoop rod; and / or, the connector is detachably connected to the locking sleeve; and / or, the connector is detachably connected to the drive member; and / or, the connector is located on the outside of the scoop rod.

[0032] In the above embodiments, when the winnowing basket pole includes at least two sub-body parts and adjacent sub-body parts are detachably connected, this design facilitates the storage and transportation of the winnowing basket pole. Users can disassemble the winnowing basket pole into multiple small sections according to actual needs, making it convenient to carry and store.

[0033] When the drive unit is detachably connected to the scoop arm, if the drive unit malfunctions or needs to be replaced, the user can easily remove the drive unit from the scoop arm for repair or replacement without replacing the entire scoop, thus reducing operating costs.

[0034] When the connector is detachably connected to the locking sleeve, this structure allows for easy removal of the connector when the locking sleeve needs cleaning, maintenance, or replacement, thus facilitating smooth operation of the locking sleeve. Similarly, when the connector is detachably connected to the drive unit, it facilitates separate maintenance and replacement of both the drive unit and the connector, improving component maintainability.

[0035] The above structure enables modular assembly, and the deformable and flexible connectors can further save space by folding, bending or wrapping. It not only allows for flexible assembly and disassembly between components, but also reduces the overall volume during storage by folding, which greatly improves space utilization.

[0036] When the winnowing basket is detachably connected to the adjacent sub-stems, the components fit together tightly, forming a compact transport configuration. Compared to traditional fixed connections, this saves significantly more transport space. The combination of flexible connectors and a detachable design also allows the entire flip-up winnowing basket to be flattened and stored when not in use, significantly reducing space costs for both household storage and commercial inventory.

[0037] Placing the connectors on the outside of the winnowing basket handles two main advantages. First, it makes operation easier for users, allowing for easier installation and removal of the connectors from the outside of the handle. Second, this layout does not interfere with the internal structure and function of the winnowing basket, ensuring the overall stability and reliability of the winnowing basket.

Detailed Implementation

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions 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 scope of protection of this utility model.

[0042] The following is combined Figures 1-14 This utility model describes a reversible winnowing basket, comprising: The scoop 100 has a garbage receiving cavity 110 and an opening 120 for easy entry of garbage into the garbage receiving cavity 110; A winnowing basket handle 200, one end of which is rotatably connected to a winnowing basket 100 so that the winnowing basket 100 can be in a tilted state and in a usable state; The locking sleeve 300 and the locking structure 400 are slidably sleeved on the outside of the scoop rod 200 and the locking structure 400 is disposed on the scoop 100. When the locking sleeve 300 and the locking structure 400 are engaged, the scoop 100 and the scoop rod 200 can be locked in the use state. When the locking sleeve 300 slides upward along the scoop rod 200, the locking sleeve 300 can be unlocked from the locking structure 400, and the scoop 100 can be rotated away from the top of the scoop rod 200, so that the scoop 100 is switched from the use state to the dumping state, so that the garbage can be moved out of the garbage receiving cavity 110 through the opening 120 under its own gravity. The system includes a connector 500 and a drive component 600. The connector 500 is a flexible structure. The drive component 600 is mounted on the scoop rod 200. One end of the connector 500 is connected to the locking sleeve 300, and the other end of the connector 500 is connected to the drive component 600. The drive component 600 can drive the locking sleeve 300 to slide upward along the scoop rod 200 through the connector 500, thereby unlocking the locking sleeve 300 from the locking structure 400. When the drive component 600 is stationary and the locking sleeve 300 is driven to slide upward, the connector 500 is deformed by force, thereby keeping the drive component 600 stationary.

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 3When using the aforementioned reversible dustpan, the user only needs to operate the drive component 600. The drive component 600 will then drive the locking sleeve 300 to slide upward along the dustpan rod 200 via the connecting component 500, thereby unlocking the locking sleeve 300 from the locking structure 400. After unlocking, the dustpan 100 can freely rotate away from the top of the dustpan rod 200, easily switching from the use state to the dumping state. At this time, the garbage can be smoothly moved out of the garbage receiving cavity 110 through the opening 120 under its own gravity, greatly facilitating the garbage dumping work. When the dustpan needs to be reused, simply rotate the dustpan 100 back to the use state and slide the locking sleeve 300 to engage with the locking structure 400 to securely lock the dustpan 100 and the dustpan rod 200 together, ensuring stability and safety during use. Furthermore, the connector 500 can slide upwards in the locking sleeve 300 when driven by the drive member 600. The flexible design of the connector 500 not only allows the connector 500 to deform under force and maintain relative traction between the drive member 600 and the locking sleeve 300 when the drive member 600 is stationary, thus keeping the drive member 600 stationary and avoiding unnecessary operational interference, improving the overall user experience, but also allows the flip-top dustpan to be folded and stored when it is in a split state, reducing the space occupied by the parts.

[0044] Specifically, the scoop 100 stores garbage through the garbage receiving cavity 110, and the opening 120 is designed to facilitate the entry of garbage; it can rotate around the scoop rod 200 to realize the switching between the use state (the opening 120 is tilted upward or horizontally to the side, for normal garbage collection) and the dumping state (the opening 120 is downward, and the garbage is discharged by gravity).

[0045] The winnowing basket handle 200 is a component for gripping and supporting. One end of the winnowing basket handle 200 is rotatably connected to the winnowing basket 100, providing a fulcrum for the flipping of the winnowing basket 100; at the same time, it provides an installation carrier for components such as the locking sleeve 300 and the drive component 600.

[0046] The locking sleeve 300 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the scoop rod 200, and the state of the scoop 100 is locked or unlocked by engaging / disengaging with the locking structure 400.

[0047] The locking structure 400 is provided on the hopper 100 and forms a mechanical lock with the locking sleeve 300 (such as a buckle and a slot). When locked, the hopper 100 is kept in use, and when unlocked, the hopper 100 is allowed to be flipped to the tilted state.

[0048] The connector 500 can be a flexible structure (such as a rope, belt, hinge, etc.). The connector 500 connects the locking sleeve 300 and the driving component 600 to transmit driving force. When the locking sleeve 300 slides up passively (such as during the reset process of the hopper 100), the force can be absorbed by the deformation of the connector 500 itself to prevent the driving component 600 from moving.

[0049] The driving component 600 is mounted on the scoop rod 200 (such as the handle structure 610) for user operation. Through the connecting component 500, the locking sleeve 300 is driven to slide upward along the scoop rod 200, thereby unlocking the locking structure 400.

[0050] In the locked state, the locking sleeve 300 engages with the locking structure 400, and the scoop 100 is fixed in the use state, ensuring stability and preventing it from tipping over when receiving garbage.

[0051] Unlocking and dumping are achieved by the user operating the drive unit 600, which drives the locking sleeve 300 to slide upward through the flexible connector 500, releasing the engagement with the locking structure 400; the scoop 100 rotates around the scoop rod 200 to the dumping state under the action of gravity or external force, and the garbage is automatically discharged.

[0052] This application can provide a certain degree of reset protection. When the scoop 100 is reset from the tilted state to the working state, the locking structure 400 contacts the locking sleeve 300, pushing the sleeve to slide passively upward. At this time, the flexible connector 500 deforms, and the driving component 600 remains stationary, avoiding misoperation or structural damage.

[0053] This application enables emptying without manual contact with the winnowing basket 100, reducing contact with soiled hands; the drive unit 600 is mounted on the winnowing basket handle 200, which is ergonomic and makes operation effortless.

[0054] The reversible dustpan of this application offers enhanced hygiene and convenience. Specifically, it is remotely unlocked via the drive unit 600, avoiding contact with dirt caused by manually flipping the dustpan 100. The emptying process relies on the weight of the waste, reducing the risk of spillage. The reversible dustpan's structure is more stable; the mechanical cooperation between the locking sleeve 300 and the locking structure 400 replaces the traditional simple buckle, reducing loosening or jamming issues after long-term use. The flexible connector 500's deformation design improves structural adaptability and durability. The integrated design of the drive unit 600 and the dustpan handle 200 streamlines the grip and operation, simplifying user actions and enhancing the user experience.

[0055] The reversible dustpan in the above structure can solve the problem of inconvenient operation of dustpan dumping garbage in related technologies, and achieve the effect of easily dumping garbage without bending over.

[0056] In practical applications, the operation of the tilting dustpan is extremely simple. When the dustpan contains garbage that needs to be emptied, the user simply holds the drive component 600 on the dustpan handle 200, such as the handle structure 610, and applies a certain pulling force. This pulling force is transmitted to the locking sleeve 300 through the flexible connector 500, causing the locking sleeve 300 to slide upward along the dustpan handle 200. During the sliding process, the locking sleeve 300 gradually separates from the locking structure 400 on the dustpan 100, thus unlocking. Once unlocked, the dustpan 100 can rotate around the rotation connection point of the dustpan handle 200 under its own weight or a slight external force from the user, switching from the use state to the emptying state. At this time, the opening 120 of the garbage receiving cavity 110 faces downward, and the garbage automatically slides out from the opening 120 under the action of gravity, completing the emptying process.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the optimized structural design enables the scoop 100 to be locked and easily unlocked. When emptying garbage, the user only needs to move the scoop 100 upwards above the garbage bin and operate the drive component 600 (such as the handle structure 610) to drive the locking sleeve 300 to slide along the scoop rod 200, thereby unlocking it from the locking structure 400. This allows the scoop 100 to switch from the use state to the emptying state, so that the garbage falls into the garbage bin through the opening 120 under its own gravity. This eliminates the need to lift and twist the scoop 100 forward, making the garbage emptying process more effortless and convenient.

[0058] Furthermore, during the garbage dumping process, the connector 500, acting as a flexible transmission component, effectively transmits the driving force and allows deformation during unlocking, ensuring that the drive component 600 remains stationary, thus improving operational stability and comfort. Moreover, since the locking sleeve 300 is slidably fitted onto the outside of the scoop handle 200, fixing the locking sleeve 300 to the scoop handle 200 does not require altering the structure of the scoop handle 200 (e.g., creating grooves on the scoop handle 200). This not only ensures the strength of the scoop handle 200 but also prevents dust or debris from entering its interior, thus avoiding the accumulation of dirt and grime inside the scoop handle 200.

[0059] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some examples, the winnowing basket handle 200 includes a handle 210 and a handle structure 220 located at the end of the handle 210 away from the winnowing basket 100, and a locking sleeve 300 is slidably fitted on the outside of the handle 210.

[0060] The handle 210 is the main body of the winnowing basket handle 200, and the handle structure 220 is located at one end of the handle 210, which is the top position away from the winnowing basket 100. This design not only takes into account the convenience of use, but also ensures that the operator can obtain a more comfortable and stable grip.

[0061] Furthermore, to ensure simple and quick assembly or meet adjustment requirements, the locking sleeve 300 is designed to slide on the outside of the rod 210. This sliding sleeve design allows the locking sleeve 300 to move up and down along the rod 210 as needed, thereby flexibly adjusting its position to meet the usage requirements in different scenarios.

[0062] Furthermore, the handle structure 220 is ergonomically designed with anti-slip textures on its surface, effectively increasing friction during grip and preventing slippage. The rod body 210 is made of high-strength, lightweight material, ensuring structural strength while reducing overall weight for convenient extended operation. The locking sleeve 300 and rod body 210 are precisely fitted together, ensuring smooth, jam-free sliding and accurate positioning at designated positions, guaranteeing reliable engagement between the locking structure 400 and the locking sleeve 300. Simultaneously, the surface of the locking sleeve 300 undergoes special treatment, providing excellent wear and corrosion resistance and extending its service life.

[0063] In some examples, the handle structure 220 and the rod 210 are detachably connected.

[0064] This application designs the handle structure 220 and the rod 210 as a detachable connection, which has many significant advantages. From a manufacturing perspective, this detachable connection method greatly improves production efficiency. During the production process, the handle structure 220 and the rod 210 can be manufactured independently, and each component can be processed using the most suitable processing technology for its structure and material characteristics, thereby improving their respective processing accuracy and quality. After each component is processed, a simple assembly operation can be performed to complete the overall assembly of the winnowing basket rod 200, greatly shortening the production cycle and reducing production costs.

[0065] From a transportation and storage perspective, the detachable connection allows the basket handle 200 to be packaged more compactly during transport. The handle structure 220 and the handle body 210 can be placed separately, reducing the overall space occupied, improving the loading efficiency of transport vehicles, and lowering transportation costs. In terms of storage, it also saves warehouse space and facilitates the classification, storage, and management of products.

[0066] For users, the detachable connection offers significant convenience. When a component of the handle structure 220 or the rod 210 is damaged, the user does not need to replace the entire winnowing basket rod 200; they only need to purchase the damaged part for replacement. This not only saves on repair costs but also reduces resource waste, aligning with current green and environmentally friendly consumption principles. Furthermore, this detachable design provides users with more personalized options. Users can replace the handle structure 220 with different styles, materials, or colors according to their preferences and actual needs, making the winnowing basket more suitable for their personal usage habits and aesthetic standards.

[0067] In actual disassembly and assembly processes, specific connection methods, such as snap-fit ​​connections and threaded connections, are typically employed to ensure ease of operation and reliability. Snap-fit ​​connections offer quick and convenient installation and disassembly; users can easily connect or separate components by simply pressing or rotating. Threaded connections provide a strong and stable connection, ensuring that the handle structure 220 and the rod 210 will not loosen or detach during use. Furthermore, to facilitate user operation, the product design includes clear markings and operating instructions at the corresponding connection points to guide users in proper disassembly and assembly.

[0068] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some examples, the drive unit 600 includes a handle structure 610 that is slidably connected to the scoop handle 200.

[0069] As a crucial component of the drive unit 600, the handle structure 610's sliding connection to the winnowing basket handle 200 provides users with exceptional convenience and comfort. In practical use, the user simply grips the handle structure 220 and extends their fingers to simultaneously grasp the handle structure 610. Applying force with their fingers propels the handle structure 610 to slide along the winnowing basket handle 200, thereby moving the connecting component 500 and ultimately allowing the locking sleeve 300 to move up and down. This sliding connection method is not only simple and intuitive to operate but also ergonomically designed, effectively reducing user fatigue during use.

[0070] Furthermore, the material selection for the handle structure 610 can be customized as needed. To ensure user comfort and durability, high-strength, wear-resistant, and comfortable materials are typically used to manufacture the handle structure 610. For example, the flip-up dustpan can be made of engineering plastic or metal with a non-slip surface treatment to increase friction and prevent slippage. Simultaneously, the shape and size of the handle structure 610 are carefully designed according to ergonomic principles to ensure easy grip and operation for users with different hand sizes.

[0071] In addition to the design of materials and shape, the sliding connection mechanism between the handle structure 610 and the scoop handle 200 can also be configured as needed. To ensure smooth sliding, grooves, sliding bearings, or guide rails are typically used to support the movement of the handle structure 610. These sliding components not only have low friction and high wear resistance, but can also withstand large loads, ensuring that there will be no jamming or wear during long-term use.

[0072] Furthermore, to further enhance the user experience, the flip-up dustpan may incorporate additional functions or designs into the handle structure 610. For example, some handle structures 610 integrate a spring return mechanism, which automatically returns the handle structure 610 to its initial position when the user releases the handle, facilitating the next operation (the spring can also be located at the mating position of the locking sleeve 300 and the dustpan handle 200). Other handle structures 610 may feature an adjustable design, allowing users to adjust the position or angle of the handle structure 610 according to their usage habits and needs for a more comfortable and personalized operating experience.

[0073] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some examples, when the winnowing basket handle 200 includes a handle structure 220, a pull handle structure 610 is spaced apart from the handle structure, and the pull handle structure 610 is slidably connected to the handle structure 220, the handle structure 220 is provided with a groove structure 2231 adapted to the pull handle structure 610, and a limiting member 2232 for limiting the pull handle structure 610 is provided in the groove structure 2231. The handle structure 220 is provided with a slider structure 620 adapted to the groove structure 2231.

[0074] The aforementioned sliding groove structure 2231 provides a track for the sliding of the handle structure 610, ensuring that the handle structure 610 will not deviate or wobble during the sliding process, thus guaranteeing the stability and accuracy of the sliding.

[0075] The limiting member 2232 provided within the slide groove structure 2231 can limit the sliding range of the handle structure 610, preventing the handle structure 610 from exceeding the predetermined stroke during sliding, thereby avoiding structural damage or other problems caused by excessive sliding of the handle structure 610. For example, when the handle structure 610 slides to the end of the slide groove structure 2231, the limiting member 2232 will prevent it from continuing to slide, ensuring that the handle structure 610 stays in a safe position.

[0076] Meanwhile, the slider 620 structure on the handle structure 220, which is adapted to the slide groove structure 2231, further enhances the connection and sliding effect between the handle structure 610 and the handle structure 220. The slider 620 structure can slide smoothly within the slide groove structure 2231, reducing friction and making it easier and less strenuous for the user to operate the handle structure 610. Moreover, the tight fit between the slider 620 structure and the slide groove structure 2231 effectively prevents the handle structure 610 from loosening or falling off during sliding, improving the reliability and stability of the entire structure.

[0077] In practical use, users can grip the handle structure 610 and apply force along the direction of the slide groove structure 2231 to make the handle structure 610 slide within the slide groove. This operation method is simple and intuitive, conforms to ergonomic principles, and can be easily completed even by users with less strength. Moreover, due to the reasonable sliding connection design between the handle structure 610 and the handle structure 220, wear or malfunction will not occur due to frequent sliding operations during long-term use, ensuring the product's service life and performance stability.

[0078] Furthermore, this design facilitates product maintenance and upkeep. If the handle structure 610 or the slide rail structure 2231 is damaged or requires cleaning, the user can easily disassemble and replace it. Simply remove the handle structure 610 from the slide rail structure 2231, perform the necessary repairs or cleaning, and then reinstall it. This detachable design not only saves maintenance time and costs but also improves the product's maintainability.

[0079] Reference Figure 4 In some examples, the limiting member 2232 is a barb structure provided on the inner wall of the slide structure 2231.

[0080] The aforementioned barbed structure is a simple yet effective limiting method. Utilizing its unique shape, it engages with a corresponding part of the handle structure 610 when the handle structure 610 slides to a specific position, thereby limiting the handle structure 610. Alternatively, the limiting component 2232 can be replaced with other limiting structures as needed, such as installing a suitable compression spring within the slide groove structure 2231 and using the end of the spring for limiting.

[0081] From a manufacturing perspective, the barbed structure is relatively easy to process and can be achieved through common processing techniques such as mold forming, which reduces production costs to some extent. Moreover, the barbed structure has high strength and can withstand the large forces generated by the handle structure 610 during sliding, making it less prone to damage or deformation, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the limiting function.

[0082] In actual use, when the handle structure 610 slides along the slide groove structure 2231, the barb structure does not significantly obstruct the normal sliding of the handle structure 610, allowing the user to easily push the handle structure 610. When the handle structure 610 slides to the position of the barb structure, the barb quickly engages with the handle structure 610, preventing it from sliding further and thus preventing it from sliding out of the slide groove structure 2231. This limiting method reacts quickly, completing the limiting action instantly and ensuring that the handle structure 610 accurately stops at the desired position.

[0083] Meanwhile, the design of the barb structure can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the shape, size, and angle of the barb can be changed to adapt to handle structures 610 of different specifications and design requirements. By rationally designing the barb structure, multi-level limiting can also be achieved, that is, multiple barbs can be set at different sliding positions, so that the handle structure 610 can stop at multiple specific positions to meet the needs of users in different operating scenarios.

[0084] Furthermore, the barbed structure can also have a certain self-locking function. After the handle structure 610 is limited by the barbed hook, even if subjected to a certain external force, the barbed hook can firmly lock the handle structure 610, preventing it from sliding accidentally. This further improves the safety and stability of the flip-over scoop during use, avoiding accidental unlocking or state switching of the scoop 100 due to the sliding of the handle structure 610, and ensuring the user's operational safety.

[0085] The connector 500 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic element 800 and drives the locking sleeve 300 under the action of the handle structure 610, so that the scoop 100 is unlocked relative to the scoop rod 200.

[0086] When a user applies force to the handle structure 610, the handle structure 610 begins to slide along a preset track (such as the slide groove structure 2231). Since the connecting member 500 is connected to the handle structure 610, the connecting member 500 moves along with the handle structure 610 as it slides. At this time, the connecting member 500 needs to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 800 (such as a spring). In its initial state, the elastic element 800 exerts a force on the locking sleeve 300 to keep it in the locked position, ensuring the stability of the skip 100 during use.

[0087] As the handle structure 610 continues to slide, the connecting member 500 gradually overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 800 and transmits this force to the locking sleeve 300. Under the force of the connecting member 500, the locking sleeve 300 slides upward along the scoop rod 200. When the locking sleeve 300 slides to a certain position, it separates from the locking structure 400 (such as the engagement of a buckle and a slot), and the mechanical lock that originally maintained the use of the scoop 100 through the engagement of the locking structure 400 and the locking sleeve 300 is released.

[0088] Once the locking structure 400 separates from the locking sleeve 300, the scoop 100 is no longer constrained by the locking structure 400. At this time, the scoop 100 can rotate around the scoop handle 200 under its own weight or any external force (such as the force generated by slight shaking). When the scoop 100 rotates to a certain angle, reaching the emptying state, the garbage carried inside the scoop will be automatically discharged due to gravity. This achieves the function of emptying garbage without manual contact with the scoop 100, reducing hand contact with dirt and making it more hygienic and convenient. Moreover, this design makes the emptying process rely on the weight of the garbage, reducing the risk of garbage scattering during the emptying process and improving ease of use and cleanliness.

[0089] In some examples, the first end of the flexible structure is provided with a first connecting buckle 510 (see reference). Figure 8 The locking sleeve 300 is provided with a first connecting hole 340 that is adapted to the first connecting buckle 510; the second end of the flexible structure is provided with a second connecting buckle 520, and the handle structure 610 is provided with a second connecting hole 630 that is adapted to the second connecting buckle 520; wherein, the first connecting buckle 510 is detachably connected to the first connecting hole 340, and the second connecting buckle 520 is detachably connected to the second connecting hole 630.

[0090] This detachable connection design greatly facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the flexible structure with the locking sleeve 300 and the handle structure 610. From an assembly perspective, during production, when the flexible structure needs to be installed onto the locking sleeve 300 and the handle structure 610, simply insert the first connecting buckle 510 accurately into the first connecting hole 340 and the second connecting buckle 520 accurately into the second connecting hole 630 to easily complete the installation of the flexible structure. This connection method does not require complex tools or cumbersome operating steps, greatly improving assembly efficiency and reducing assembly costs. Moreover, due to the high precision of the fit between the connecting buckle and the connecting hole, the connection between the flexible structure and the locking sleeve 300 and the handle structure 610 is guaranteed to be firm and reliable, and will not loosen or fall off during use.

[0091] For disassembly, when the flexible structure needs to be replaced or repaired, the user simply pulls the first connecting buckle 510 out of the first connecting hole 340 and the second connecting buckle 520 out of the second connecting hole 630 to detach the flexible structure from the locking sleeve 300 and the handle structure 610. This detachable connection method makes maintenance and replacement simpler and faster, reducing maintenance time and costs. Furthermore, users can choose flexible structures of different materials, specifications, or colors to meet personalized usage requirements.

[0092] Furthermore, the design of the first connecting buckle 510 and the first connecting hole 340, the second connecting buckle 520 and the second connecting hole 630 can be optimized according to specific circumstances. For example, the number of connecting buckles and connecting holes can be increased to improve the stability and reliability of the connection; anti-slip textures or increased friction can be provided on the surface of the connecting buckles and connecting holes to prevent slippage during the connection process; the shape of the connecting buckles and connecting holes can also be improved to make them more ergonomic and convenient for users to operate.

[0093] In some examples, the handle structure 220 is detachably connected to the scoop handle 200; and / or, the pull handle structure 610 is detachably connected to the handle structure 220.

[0094] This detachable connection method enhances the flexibility and practicality of the tiltable winnowing basket. When the handle structure 220 is detachably connected to the basket handle 200, it can be removed from the handle handle 220 during transportation, reducing the overall space occupied by the basket, facilitating stacking and transportation, and effectively lowering transportation costs. Similarly, the disassembled parts can be categorized and stored during storage, improving the utilization of warehouse space. Furthermore, if the handle structure 220 is damaged, only the handle structure 220 needs to be replaced, rather than the entire basket, saving on repair costs and resources.

[0095] The detachable connection between the handle structure 610 and the handle structure 220 also offers several advantages. In the production process, this detachable design facilitates independent processing and assembly of each component, improving production efficiency. For users, when the handle structure 610 wears out due to prolonged use or when they wish to replace it with a different style to meet their individual needs, replacement is quick and easy. For example, users can choose different colors, materials, or shapes of the handle structure 610 according to their preferences, making the flip-over dustpan more in line with their personal aesthetics and usage habits.

[0096] Meanwhile, to ensure the stability and reliability of the detachable connection, special designs are typically employed at the connection points. For example, at the connection between the handle structure 220 and the dustpan handle 200, a matching structure of a slot and a buckle can be provided. The shape and size of the slot are adapted to the buckle, allowing the buckle to accurately engage with the slot when the handle structure 220 is installed on the dustpan handle 200, achieving a secure connection. Furthermore, the surfaces of the slot and the buckle can be smoothed to reduce friction during connection, making the installation and disassembly process smoother.

[0097] For the connection between the handle structure 610 and the handle structure 220, a combination of threaded connection and locating pin can be used. Threaded holes are provided at the connection points, and a preliminary connection is achieved by rotating a screw. Then, a locating pin is inserted. The locating pin precisely positions the handle structure 610, preventing it from wobbling or shifting during use, further enhancing the stability of the connection. In addition, a sealing ring can be installed at the connection point to prevent dust, moisture, etc., from entering and affecting the connection effect and service life.

[0098] Reference Figure 4 In some examples, the handle structure 220 includes: The handle assembly 221 is detachably connected to the winnowing basket handle 200; The grip portion 222 is connected to the handle assembly portion 221, and the grip portion 222 is set at an angle to the winnowing pole 200; The slide body 223 is provided with a slide structure 2231, which is used to slide and connect the handle structure 610.

[0099] Furthermore, the handle assembly 221 is specifically designed as a connector with a flexible locking element. The connector can form a flexible locking with the pre-set mounting hole on the winnowing pole 200, ensuring both the stability of the connection and facilitating quick disassembly and replacement. The grip 222 adopts an ergonomic design, with a surface covered with a non-slip textured material, which not only improves the user's grip comfort but also increases friction to prevent slippage during use. The slide structure 2231 on the slide body 223 is designed as a T-shaped groove, matching the corresponding T-shaped slider 620 on the handle structure 610. This design allows the handle structure 610 to slide smoothly along the slide, while limiting the movement of the handle structure 610 perpendicular to the sliding direction, ensuring stability and safety during use.

[0100] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some examples, the locking sleeve 300 includes: The sleeve part 310 is sleeved and movably connected to the winnowing basket rod 200; The extension 320 is connected to the sleeve 310 and extends toward the hopper 100; The extension 320 is provided with a locking engagement structure 330, which can lock or unlock relative to the locking structure 400.

[0101] The functions and overall structure of the locking sleeve 300 are as follows: The sleeve portion 310 of the locking sleeve 300 is fitted onto and movably connected to the scoop rod 200, providing a base for the locking sleeve 300 to slide along the axial direction of the scoop rod 200, ensuring that the locking sleeve 300 can move stably up and down, while supporting the extension portion 320 and the locking engagement structure 330. The extension portion 320 of the locking sleeve 300 is connected to the sleeve portion 310 and extends toward the scoop 100. Its length and angle design enable the locking engagement structure 330 to precisely align with the locking structure 400 on the scoop 100, such as a slot, shortening the distance between the two to improve the reliability of the mechanical engagement. The locking sleeve 300 has a locking engagement structure 330 located at the end of the extension 320, which, together with the locking structure 400 on the scoop 100 (such as a buckle or a slot), forms a mechanical lock. The buckle engages with the slot, directly achieving the locking or unlocking function: In the locked state, the locking engagement structure 330 engages with the locking structure 400, restricting the scoop 100 from rotating around the scoop rod 200, maintaining its usability, with the opening 120 facing forward to collect garbage (here, "forward" refers to relative forward, used in conjunction with a broom); in the unlocked state, the locking sleeve 300 slides upward along the scoop rod 200, separating the locking engagement structure 330 from the locking structure 400, releasing the scoop 100's rotational freedom, allowing it to be flipped to a tilting state, with the opening 120 facing downward to empty garbage.

[0102] The locking sleeve 300's overall function is achieved through a collaborative design of sliding support from the sleeve part 310, precise engagement from the extension part 320, and mechanical locking through the locking structure 330. The locking sleeve 300 efficiently controls the switching of the scoop 100's state: during use, it engages with the locking structure 400 to lock the scoop 100, ensuring stability and preventing tipping when receiving waste; during emptying, it slides up along the scoop rod 200 to unlock, allowing the scoop 100 to tip freely and automatically discharge waste; during reset, the elastic element 800, such as a spring, drives the locking sleeve 300 downwards, re-engaging with the locking structure 400 to restore the locked state, ensuring stability for future use. This structural design improves the reliability and ease of operation of the locking mechanism, avoiding the problem of loosening common in traditional snap-fit ​​mechanisms. Simultaneously, the directional extension of the extension part 320 ensures precise engagement between the locking structure 330 and the locking structure 400.

[0103] Furthermore, the sleeve 310 can be made of high-strength plastic material, with an internal circular hole matching the outer diameter of the winnowing basket 200. It fits onto the winnowing basket 200 through this hole and can slide along the axial direction of the winnowing basket 200. The extension 320 is integrally formed with the sleeve 310, and its length is set according to actual usage requirements to ensure stable support for the winnowing basket 100 in the locked state. The locking structure 330 is specifically designed as a protruding structure with a locking hole, located at the end of the extension 320. When the winnowing basket 100 needs to be locked in a specific position, simply insert the locking structure 400 into the locking hole to achieve relative locking; when unlocking is required, simply pull the locking structure 400 out of the locking hole to restore the flipping function of the winnowing basket 100. This design allows the locking sleeve 300 to conveniently perform locking and unlocking operations while ensuring stability and reliability during use.

[0104] Reference Figures 9 to 11 In some examples, the locking structure 330 is a snap-fit ​​structure and the locking structure 400 is a slot structure; or, the locking structure 330 is a slot structure and the locking structure 400 is a snap-fit ​​structure; the snap-fit ​​structure can engage with the slot structure.

[0105] The aforementioned design of the buckle and slot combination is not only simple in structure but also provides a stable connection. In practical applications, the buckle structure can be designed as a flexible protrusion to smoothly engage or disengage from the slot structure; the slot structure is correspondingly designed as a groove that matches the shape of the buckle, ensuring a tight fit. When it is necessary to lock the winnowing basket 100 in a certain position, simply align the locking part with the buckle structure with the locking part of the slot structure, and press gently; the buckle will then engage in the slot, achieving a secure lock. When it is necessary to unlock, simply apply a certain amount of external force to disengage the buckle from the slot, restoring the winnowing basket 100 to its free-flipping state. This design ensures both ease of use and reliable locking.

[0106] In some examples, the flip-over scoop also includes an elastic element 800, with a first end connected to the locking sleeve 300 and a second end connected to the scoop rod 200. When the connecting member 500 is driven to slide the locking sleeve 300 upward along the scoop rod 200, the elastic element 800 accumulates elastic potential energy during the unlocking process between the locking sleeve 300 and the locking structure 400. When the driving force of the connecting member 500 is removed, the elastic element 800 releases the elastic potential energy, maintaining or resetting the locking sleeve 300 in the locked position relative to the locking structure 400.

[0107] The elastic element 800 provides a reset function for the locking and unlocking process of the flip-over scoop. In actual operation, when the user needs to unlock the scoop 100 for flipping, they only need to apply an upward driving force to the connecting member 500. This force will cause the locking sleeve 300 to slide upward along the scoop rod 200. During this process, since one end of the elastic element 800 is connected to the locking sleeve 300 and the other end is fixed to the scoop rod 200, the elastic element 800 will be stretched or compressed as the locking sleeve 300 moves, thereby accumulating elastic potential energy. When the user completes the flipping operation of the scoop 100 and no longer applies a driving force to the connecting member 500, the previously accumulated elastic potential energy will be released, pushing the locking sleeve 300 to slide downward until it re-engages with the locking structure 400, securely locking the scoop 100 in the desired position, including the position of the scoop 100 in use. This design not only simplifies the user's operation steps, but also improves the accuracy and reliability of the winnowing basket 100 lock.

[0108] In some examples, the elastic element 800 is at least one of a spring, a sheet, a coil spring, or an elastic cord.

[0109] Different types of elastic elements 800 have their own unique characteristics and applicable scenarios. Springs, as a common type of elastic element 800, have advantages such as simple structure, stable elasticity, and long service life. The magnitude of the elastic force can be precisely controlled by adjusting parameters such as the wire diameter, number of coils, and outer diameter of the spring to meet the locking and unlocking force requirements of different tumbler hoppers. For example, in some tumbler hoppers with high locking force requirements, springs with thicker wire diameters and more coils can be selected to provide sufficient elastic force to ensure the stability of the hopper 100 during use.

[0110] Springs are characterized by their small size and ease of installation. They are typically made of thin metal sheets and store and release energy through their elastic deformation. Spring designs are more flexible and can be customized to suit specific installation spaces and usage requirements. In compact, flip-over scoops, springs adapt well to confined installation environments while providing reliable elastic force.

[0111] Coil springs have a large elastic deformation range and high energy storage capacity. They can accumulate a large amount of elastic potential energy in a small space, making them suitable for tumblers that require a large elastic force. For example, in some large tumblers, coil springs can provide sufficient elastic force to ensure the smooth operation of the locking sleeve 300 during unlocking and locking processes.

[0112] Elastic ropes offer advantages such as low cost and easy availability. Different materials and specifications can be selected to adjust elasticity and lifespan. Installation is relatively simple; both ends are merely fixed to the locking sleeve 300 and the scoop rod 200, respectively. In cost-sensitive tilting scoop designs, elastic ropes can be an economical option.

[0113] In practical applications, the appropriate type of elastic element 800 can be selected or multiple elastic elements 800 can be combined, depending on the specific design requirements, usage environment, and cost budget of the flip-over scoop. For example, springs and spring sheets can be used in combination, with the spring providing the main elastic force and the spring sheet playing an auxiliary role in adjustment and stabilization, thereby further improving the performance and reliability of the flip-over scoop locking fit structure 330.

[0114] Reference Figures 12 to 14 In some examples, a first connecting part 212 is provided on the outer periphery of the winnowing basket 200, a second connecting part 350 is provided on the locking sleeve 300, a first end of the elastic member 800 is connected to the second connecting part 350, and a second end of the elastic member 800 is connected to the first connecting part 212.

[0115] The above-described connection design ensures that the elastic element 800 functions stably and effectively. The specific forms of the second connecting part 350 and the first connecting part 212 can be flexibly designed according to the type of elastic element 800 selected and actual installation requirements. For example, when a spring is used as the elastic element 800, the second connecting part 350 can be designed as a protruding structure with a hook, and the first connecting part 212 can be correspondingly designed as a hole or ring matching the hook. This allows both ends of the spring to be easily hooked onto the second connecting part 350 and the first connecting part 212, achieving a stable connection. When a spring sheet is used, the second connecting part 350 and the first connecting part 212 can be designed as mutually fitting planar structures. The spring sheet is held between the two by its own elasticity, ensuring reliable connection and facilitating installation and disassembly. The second connecting part 350 and the first connecting part 212 of the coil spring can use a shaft-hole mating method, fixing one end of the coil spring to the shaft of the locking sleeve 300 and inserting the other end into the corresponding hole on the winnowing rod 200, allowing the coil spring to stably transmit force during elastic deformation. As for the elastic rope, the second connecting part 350 and the first connecting part 212 can be simply designed as binding points or fixing rings, with both ends of the elastic rope being bound or fixed to the corresponding positions on the locking sleeve 300 and the winnowing basket rod 200, respectively. This connection design not only ensures a reliable connection between the elastic element 800 and the locking sleeve 300 and the winnowing basket rod 200, but also makes the structure of the entire tilting winnowing basket more compact and reasonable, improving the overall performance and service life of the product.

[0116] Reference Figures 12 to 14 In some examples, the elastic element 800 is a spring, with the first end of the spring attached to the second connecting part 350 and the second end of the spring attached to the first connecting part 212.

[0117] When a spring is used as the elastic element 800, the installation and removal process is extremely simple due to the hook-and-loop design, requiring no complicated tools or procedures. When maintenance or replacement of the spring is needed, simply remove or hook onto either end of the spring, greatly saving time and labor costs.

[0118] The spring's attachment method ensures stable elasticity during operation. Because both ends of the spring are securely attached to the second connecting part 350 and the first connecting part 212, the spring is evenly stressed as the locking sleeve 300 slides along the scoop rod 200, preventing localized stress concentration or elastic failure. This helps ensure smooth operation of the tilting scoop during locking and unlocking, improving reliability and stability.

[0119] Furthermore, by rationally designing the position and dimensions of the second connecting part 350 and the first connecting part 212, the initial tension length and elastic force of the spring can be precisely controlled. For example, by appropriately adjusting the distance between the second connecting part 350 and the first connecting part 212, the preload of the spring can be changed, thereby meeting the requirements for the locking force of the flip-over dustpan in different usage scenarios. In some cases requiring a larger locking force, the distance between the connecting parts can be appropriately increased, allowing the spring to be in a greater tension state and providing a stronger elastic force; while in cases where the locking force requirement is lower, the distance between the connecting parts can be reduced, decreasing the elastic force of the spring and making operation easier and less strenuous.

[0120] Meanwhile, the spring attachment method also offers a degree of versatility and scalability. Different types of springs, such as compression springs and tension springs, can be connected to the locking sleeve 300 and the scoop rod 200 using a similar attachment method. This provides more options and flexibility for the design of the flip-over scoop, allowing the selection of the most suitable spring type based on actual needs to achieve optimal performance. Moreover, this attachment structure can be easily improved and optimized, for example, by adding anti-slip devices to the connection or adjusting the shape of the attachment points to further enhance the stability and reliability of the connection, adapting to the requirements of different working environments and usage conditions.

[0121] Reference Figures 12 to 14 In some examples, the second connecting part 350 is provided with a clearance hole 351 to avoid the connector 500.

[0122] The aforementioned clearance hole 351 provides ample room for the connector 500 to move, preventing interference between the connector 500 and the second connecting part 350 during the sliding of the locking sleeve 300 along the scoop rod 200. In actual operation, when the user applies driving force to the connector 500 to unlock or lock the scoop 100, the connector 500 will move within a certain range. Without the clearance hole 351, the connector 500 might collide with the second connecting part 350, causing operational obstruction or even damage to the connector 500 or the second connecting part 350. The presence of the clearance hole 351 allows the connector 500 to pass smoothly through the area where the second connecting part 350 is located, ensuring the smoothness of the entire locking and unlocking process.

[0123] The design of the clearance hole 351 helps optimize the overall structural layout of the tiltable hopper. By rationally determining the position and size of the clearance hole 351, the fit between the second connecting part 350 and other components can be made more compact and reasonable. For example, while ensuring sufficient movement space for the connector 500, the clearance hole 351 can be designed to be as small as possible to reduce the impact on the structural strength of the second connecting part 350, while improving the structural stability of the entire locking sleeve 300. In addition, the design of the clearance hole 351 can also take into account the assembly process with other components, making assembly more convenient and faster during production, improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0124] The clearance hole 351 increases the flexibility and adjustability of the tumbler design. In different usage scenarios and design requirements, the size, shape, or movement trajectory of the connector 500 may need adjustment. In such cases, the clearance hole 351 can be modified and optimized accordingly without requiring large-scale alterations to the entire locking sleeve 300 structure. For example, if a different specification of connector 500 needs to be replaced, simply adjusting the size of the clearance hole 351 allows the new connector 500 to pass normally through the second connecting part 350, thus achieving effective cooperation with the locking sleeve 300. This flexibility and adjustability facilitates the diversified design and customized production of tumblers.

[0125] The presence of the clearance hole 351 also reduces the weight of the foldable winnowing basket to some extent. Because the clearance hole 351 removes unnecessary material from the upper part of the second connecting portion 350, the overall weight of the locking sleeve 300 is reduced without affecting structural strength or functionality. This not only improves the portability of the foldable winnowing basket but also reduces energy consumption due to component weight during operation, allowing users to more easily lock and unlock the winnowing basket 100. Simultaneously, weight reduction helps lower production and transportation costs, enhancing the product's market competitiveness.

[0126] In some examples, the second connecting portion 350 and / or the first connecting portion 212 are provided with reinforcing ribs; or, the second connecting portion 350 and / or the first connecting portion 212 are embedded with a metal core; or, the second connecting portion 350 and / or the first connecting portion 212 are reinforced structures made of composite metal or non-metal reinforcing materials.

[0127] The reinforcing ribs significantly enhance the structural strength of the second connecting part 350 and the first connecting part 212. During the use of the reversible scoop, the locking sleeve 300 and the scoop rod 200 frequently slide relative to each other, requiring the connecting part to withstand significant forces and stresses. By providing reinforcing ribs to the connecting part, these stresses can be effectively dispersed, preventing deformation or breakage of the connecting part due to long-term stress, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire locking fit structure 330. The shape and number of reinforcing ribs can be flexibly designed according to the actual stress conditions, such as using different forms of reinforcing ribs like strips or grids, to achieve the best reinforcement effect.

[0128] The embedded metal core provides greater strength and rigidity to the second connecting part 350 and the first connecting part 212. Metal materials typically possess superior mechanical properties and can withstand substantial loads. Embedding the metal core inside the connecting part significantly enhances its tensile, compressive, and shear strength while maintaining its original shape and installation method. This design is particularly suitable for tumbler baskets where high strength is required. For example, in large, heavy-duty tumbler baskets, the metal core effectively prevents damage to the connecting part under complex working environments, ensuring the basket's normal operation.

[0129] Connectors reinforced with composite metals or non-metallic materials combine the advantages of various materials. Composite metals, by combining metals with different properties, fully utilize the advantages of each metal, such as high strength, corrosion resistance, and good thermal conductivity. Non-metallic reinforcing materials, such as high-strength plastics and fiber-reinforced composites, are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and have good insulation properties. Applying these materials to the reinforced structure of the connector allows for the selection of appropriate material combinations based on the specific usage requirements of the tiltable dustpan. This ensures that the connector meets strength requirements while also possessing other beneficial properties, such as weight reduction and improved corrosion resistance, thereby enhancing the overall performance and service life of the tiltable dustpan.

[0130] Reference Figures 12 to 14In some examples, when the locking sleeve 300 includes a locking engagement structure 330, the outer side of which has a guide surface; during the process of the scoop 100 switching from a tilting state to a use state, the guide surface abuts against the locking structure 400, causing the locking sleeve 300 to slide upward along the scoop rod 200, moving the locking engagement structure 330 to a position where it can engage with the locking structure 400. At this time, the elastic element 800 can drive the locking sleeve 300 to reset, so that the locking engagement structure 330 and the locking structure 400 are locked. Furthermore, during the upward sliding of the locking sleeve 300 along the scoop rod 200, the connecting member 500 is deformed by force, so that the driving member 600 remains stationary; or... When the locking sleeve 300 includes the locking engagement structure 330 and the outer side of the locking structure 400 has a guide surface; during the process of the scoop 100 switching from the tilting state to the use state, the guide surface abuts against the locking engagement structure 330, causing the locking sleeve 300 to slide upward along the scoop rod 200, so that the locking engagement structure 330 moves to a position where it can engage with the locking structure 400. At this time, the elastic member 800 can drive the locking sleeve 300 to reset, so that the locking engagement structure 330 and the locking structure 400 are locked. During the process of the locking sleeve 300 sliding upward along the scoop rod 200, the connecting member 500 is deformed by force, so that the driving member 600 remains stationary.

[0131] The guide surface design in the above structure improves the safety of using the tiltable scoop in the locking mechanism 330. Specifically, the guide surface can be located on the outer side of the locking mechanism 330 or the outer side of the locking structure 400. The guide surface provides precise guidance for the relative movement between the locking sleeve 300 and the locking structure 400. During the process of switching the scoop 100 from the tilted state to the usable state, the guide surface ensures that the locking sleeve 300 slides smoothly upward along a predetermined trajectory, avoiding locking failure or component damage due to movement deviation. This guidance makes the entire locking process more reliable and stable, improving the safety of using the tiltable scoop.

[0132] The presence of the guide surface optimizes the contact method between the locking mating structure 330 and the locking structure 400. By rationally designing the shape and angle of the guide surface, an appropriate pressure distribution can be generated when the two come into contact, ensuring sufficient friction to achieve locking while avoiding excessive wear caused by excessive pressure. For example, designing the guide surface as a curved surface with a certain curvature can make the contact process smoother, reduce impact and noise, and improve the tightness of the lock.

[0133] In the above structure, the elastic element 800 ensures that after the guide surface completes its guiding task, the locking sleeve 300 can quickly reset under the action of the elastic element 800, thereby achieving a stable lock between the locking mating structure 330 and the locking structure 400. Furthermore, the force-deformation design of the connecting member 500 during the sliding process of the locking sleeve 300 effectively prevents unnecessary movement of the driving member 600, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire switching process.

[0134] Furthermore, the material selection for the guide surface component should employ materials with high hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance to ensure that the guide surface maintains its original shape and dimensional accuracy during long-term use, and that the performance of the locking structure 330 is not affected by wear or corrosion. For example, the guide surface component can be made of metal or high-strength engineering plastics, with a reasonable selection based on the specific usage environment and cost requirements of the tumbler. Alternatively, the guide surface can be made with a metal plating.

[0135] The guide protrusion 720 is provided with a guide surface, and the guide member 710 can abut against the guide surface, which is an arc-shaped surface.

[0136] Designing the guide surface as an arc-shaped surface offers several advantages. From a motion guidance perspective, the arc-shaped surface provides a smoother and more continuous guiding effect. When the guide member 710 abuts against the arc-shaped guide surface, during the sliding of the locking sleeve 300 along the scoop rod 200, the arc-shaped surface guides the guide member 710 to move along a gentler curved trajectory. Compared to flat or other simple-shaped guide surfaces, this reduces jamming and impact during movement, making the sliding of the locking sleeve 300 smoother. This, in turn, improves the fluidity of the entire locking and mating structure 330's operation, ensuring that the scoop 100 can perform stable and accurate locking operations during state switching.

[0137] From a force distribution perspective, the arc-shaped guide surface allows for a more uniform distribution of contact force between the guide member 710 and the guide protrusion 720. During the locking process, the guide member 710 moves on the arc-shaped surface, and the force at different locations is rationally distributed according to the curvature of the arc, avoiding wear or damage caused by excessive local force. This uniform force distribution helps extend the service life of the guide member 710 and the guide protrusion 720, reduces the frequency of repair or replacement due to component damage, and improves the overall durability of the tiltable scoop.

[0138] The curved guide surface also demonstrates excellent adaptability to different working conditions. Since the tilting scoop may face various operating forces and environmental conditions in actual use, the curved surface can, to a certain extent, buffer and disperse the additional forces generated by changes in operating force or external interference. For example, when the user operates the scoop 100 with greater force to switch states, the curved guide surface can absorb and disperse some of the impact force through its curvature change, preventing the locking mechanism 330 from malfunctioning due to excessive instantaneous force, thus enhancing the adaptability and stability of the tilting scoop in different working scenarios.

[0139] The driving component 600 is a drive motor, and the connecting component 500 is connected to the drive motor. The drive motor directly or indirectly drives the connecting component 500 to move, thereby driving the locking sleeve 300 to move and unlock.

[0140] The use of a drive motor 600 as the driving component brings a high degree of automation and convenience to the locking and unlocking operation of the tilting scoop. The drive motor has precise control capabilities, accurately controlling the movement of the connecting piece 500 according to a preset program or user-input commands, thereby achieving precise movement of the locking sleeve 300. This precise control makes the switching between different states of the tilting scoop more reliable, reducing locking failures or unlocking difficulties caused by human error.

[0141] The method of driving the connecting part 500 directly or indirectly by the drive motor has several advantages. In direct driving, the drive motor and the connecting part 500 are connected through a suitable transmission mechanism, such as gears, chains, or couplings. This efficiently converts the rotational motion of the motor into the linear motion or other required motion of the connecting part 500, ensuring the stability and timeliness of power transmission. Indirect driving can be achieved through intermediate components, such as levers or pulley systems. This method allows for flexible adjustment of the transmission ratio and direction of motion according to the specific structural design requirements of the tilting scoop, better adapting to different spatial layouts and working requirements.

[0142] During the process of the drive motor moving the connecting part 500 to unlock the locking sleeve 300, precise adjustment of the unlocking speed and force can be achieved. By controlling the speed and torque of the drive motor, the sliding speed of the locking sleeve 300 can be adjusted, ensuring a rapid response during unlocking without generating excessive impact force due to excessive speed, which could damage other components. Simultaneously, appropriate force adjustment ensures a smooth unlocking process, preventing incomplete or excessive unlocking.

[0143] Reference Figures 12 to 14In some examples, the flip-over scoop also includes a guide assembly 700, which includes a cooperating guide member 710 and a guide protrusion 720. One of the guide member 710 and the guide protrusion 720 is located on the locking sleeve 300, and the other is located on the scoop 100. When the scoop 100 is switched from the tilting state to the use state, the guide member 710 and the guide protrusion 720 abut against each other, causing the locking sleeve 300 to slide upward along the scoop rod 200, so that the locking engagement structure 330 moves to a position that can engage with the locking structure 400. At this time, the elastic member 800 can drive the locking sleeve 300 to reset, so that the locking engagement structure 330 and the locking structure 400 are locked. During the upward sliding of the locking sleeve 300 along the scoop rod 200, the connecting member 500 is deformed by force, so that the driving member 600 remains stationary.

[0144] The design of the guide assembly 700 ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the switching between states of the skid 100. Specifically, when the skid 100 transitions from the tilted state to the usable state, the contact between the guide member 710 and the guide protrusion 720 plays a crucial guiding role. This contact not only helps the locking sleeve 300 slide precisely upwards along the skid rod 200, but also ensures that the locking engagement structure 330 accurately reaches the position to engage with the locking structure 400. During this process, the elastic element 800 ensures that once the guide member 710 and the guide protrusion 720 have completed their guiding task, the locking sleeve 300 can quickly reset under the action of the elastic element 800, thereby achieving a stable lock between the locking engagement structure 330 and the locking structure 400. Furthermore, the stress deformation design of the connecting member 500 during the sliding process of the locking sleeve 300 effectively prevents unnecessary movement of the drive member 600, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire switching process.

[0145] The guide protrusion 720 is provided with a reinforcing structure, which is embedded in the guide protrusion 720, or the reinforcing structure is provided on the outer periphery of the guide protrusion 720.

[0146] The reinforcement structure is crucial for the guide protrusion 720. When the reinforcement structure is embedded inside the guide protrusion 720, it enhances the structural strength of the guide protrusion 720 from within, making it less prone to deformation or damage when subjected to the pressure from the guide member 710 abutting against it and various forces during the sliding process of the locking sleeve 300. This internal reinforcement method makes full use of the material properties, integrating the reinforcement structure with the guide protrusion 720 as a whole, improving the overall structural stability, and ensuring that the guide protrusion 720 maintains its accurate shape and size during long-term use, thereby guaranteeing the normal functioning of the guiding function.

[0147] When the reinforcing structure is placed on the outer periphery of the guide protrusion 720, it provides additional protection and support. The outer periphery reinforcement effectively disperses the external forces acting on the guide protrusion 720, preventing cracking or wear caused by localized stress concentration. Furthermore, this arrangement offers greater flexibility in manufacturing and assembly, allowing for the selection of appropriate reinforcing structure forms and installation locations based on the specific shape and usage requirements of the guide protrusion 720 to achieve optimal reinforcement.

[0148] The selection of materials for the reinforcing structure also requires comprehensive consideration of various factors. Generally, materials with high strength, good toughness, and wear resistance should be selected, such as high-strength alloy steel and rigid plastic composite materials. These materials can ensure the strength of the reinforcing structure itself while adapting to different operating environments and conditions of the tumbler. For example, in environments where the tumbler frequently comes into contact with corrosive substances, materials with corrosion resistance should be given priority to prevent the reinforcing structure from losing strength due to corrosion, thus affecting the service life and performance of the guide protrusion 720.

[0149] From a manufacturing process perspective, the reinforcement structure needs to be compatible with the manufacturing process of the guide protrusion 720. If an embedded method is used, adequate space needs to be reserved during the manufacturing process of the guide protrusion 720 to accurately embed the reinforcement structure and ensure a tight and secure connection between the two. For reinforcement structures located on the outer periphery, the connection method with the guide protrusion 720 needs to be considered, such as welding, bolting, or snap-fit ​​connection, to ensure a firm and reliable connection without adversely affecting the function of the guide protrusion 720.

[0150] In practical applications, the effectiveness of the reinforcement structure can be evaluated through a series of tests and verifications. For example, strength tests can be conducted to simulate the maximum force that the guide protrusion 720 might experience during actual use, verifying whether the reinforcement structure can withstand it without damage; durability tests can be performed to observe the wear of the reinforcement structure and guide protrusion 720 through prolonged use and repeated stress, assessing its service life; and functional tests can be conducted to check whether the guide protrusion 720 can accurately guide the locking sleeve 300 to slide under the action of the reinforcement structure, achieving a reliable locking function. Through these tests and verifications, the design and manufacturing process of the reinforcement structure can be continuously optimized, improving the overall performance and quality of the tiltable scoop.

[0151] In some examples, the scoop 100 is provided with an assembly groove 130 on the side opposite to the opening 120 of the garbage receiving cavity 110. The assembly groove 130 is used to assemble the scoop rod 200, and the scoop rod 200 is rotatably connected to the scoop 100 within the assembly groove 130.

[0152] The aforementioned assembly slot 130 provides a stable and flexible foundation for the connection between the scoop rod 200 and the scoop bucket 100. The presence of the assembly slot 130 allows the scoop rod 200 to be accurately positioned on the scoop bucket 100, ensuring the connection precision and preventing the scoop bucket 100 from wobbling or shifting during use due to inaccurate connection. Simultaneously, the rotating connection design gives the scoop bucket 100 the ability to rotate freely on the scoop rod 200, which is crucial for the switch between tilting and use modes of the tiltable scoop. During mode switching, the scoop bucket 100 can smoothly rotate around the scoop rod 200, reducing friction and resistance, making operation easier and less strenuous. Furthermore, the design of the assembly slot 130 can be optimized according to actual needs. For example, by adjusting the size and shape of the assembly slot 130, it can accommodate different specifications and models of scoop rods 200, improving the product's versatility and compatibility. Furthermore, buffer or lubrication components, such as rubber gaskets and lubricating oil grooves, can be installed inside the assembly slot 130 to further reduce wear and noise during rotation and extend the service life of the scoop. From a manufacturing perspective, the assembly slot 130 requires high precision in its machining. Advanced CNC machining equipment can precisely control the size and shape of the assembly slot 130, ensuring that the clearance between the scoop rod 200 and the scoop 100 is within a reasonable range. Simultaneously, during assembly, strict adherence to process requirements is necessary to guarantee the assembly quality of the scoop rod 200 and the scoop 100, preventing problems such as loosening or jamming.

[0153] In some examples, the scoop rod 200 and the scoop bucket 100 are hinged by a rotating shaft; or, the scoop rod 200 and the scoop bucket 100 are hinged by a universal ball joint.

[0154] The rotating shaft hinge design offers a simple and robust structure, ensuring accurate relative positioning of the scoop handle 200 and scoop 100 during rotation, resulting in stable and reliable switching between scoop states during use. The universal ball joint hinge provides greater rotational freedom, allowing the scoop 100 to rotate flexibly in multiple directions, better adapting to different angles and positions, further enhancing the ease and flexibility of scoop use. Furthermore, both hinge methods allow for the installation of wear-resistant sleeves or lubrication structures at key connection points to reduce wear during rotation and extend the service life of the hinge components.

[0155] In some examples, the scoop pole 200 includes at least two sub-bodies 211, and adjacent sub-bodies 211 are detachably connected; and / or, the drive member 600 is detachably connected to the scoop pole 200; and / or, the connector 500 is detachably connected to the locking sleeve 300; and / or, the connector 500 is detachably connected to the drive member 600; and / or, the connector 500 is located on the outside of the scoop pole 200.

[0156] When the winnowing basket pole 200 includes at least two sub-body 211 and adjacent sub-body 211 are detachably connected, this design facilitates the storage and transportation of the winnowing basket pole 200. Users can disassemble the winnowing basket pole 200 into multiple small sections according to actual needs, making it convenient to carry and store.

[0157] When the drive unit 600 is detachably connected to the scoop rod 200, if the drive unit 600 malfunctions or needs to be replaced, the user can easily remove the drive unit 600 from the scoop rod 200 for repair or replacement without replacing the entire scoop, thus reducing the cost of use.

[0158] When the connector 500 is detachably connected to the locking sleeve 300, this structure allows for easy removal of the connector 500 when cleaning, maintenance, or replacement of the locking sleeve 300 is required, thus facilitating smooth operation of the locking sleeve 300. Similarly, when the connector 500 is detachably connected to the drive component 600, it facilitates individual maintenance and replacement of both the drive component 600 and the connector 500, improving component maintainability.

[0159] The above structure enables modular assembly. The deformable and flexible connector 500 can further save space by folding, bending or wrapping. It not only allows for flexible assembly and disassembly between components, but also reduces the overall volume during storage by folding, greatly improving space utilization.

[0160] When the winnowing basket is connected to the adjacent sub-pole through an innovative snap-fit ​​detachable structure, the components can fit together tightly to form a compact transportation form, which can save more transportation space compared to the traditional fixed connection method.

[0161] The combination of the flexible connector 500 and the detachable design allows the entire flip-up dustpan to be flattened and stored when not in use, significantly reducing space costs for both home storage and commercial inventory.

[0162] The connector 500 is positioned on the outside of the winnowing basket handle 200. This arrangement facilitates user operation, as both installation and disassembly of the connector 500 can be easily performed from the outside of the winnowing basket handle 200. Furthermore, this layout does not interfere with the internal structure and function of the winnowing basket, ensuring the overall stability and reliability of the winnowing basket.

[0163] This application may also provide a sweeping assembly, including the aforementioned reversible dustpan and broom, wherein a snap-fit ​​element is provided on the dustpan handle 200 or handle structure 220, the snap-fit ​​element being configured to snap the broom.

[0164] This cleaning component design significantly improves the convenience and efficiency of cleaning. The snap-fit ​​mechanism securely fastens the broom to the dustpan handle 200 or handle structure 220, preventing it from slipping or getting lost during transport or storage. Users can carry both the dustpan and broom at once, eliminating the need to search for or carry the broom separately, saving time and effort. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​design allows for versatility, accommodating brooms of different shapes and sizes, enhancing the versatility and compatibility of the cleaning component. During manufacturing, the snap-fit ​​mechanism must possess sufficient strength and stability to ensure a secure hold on the broom and prevent loosening or damage during long-term use. Additionally, the snap-fit ​​mechanism should be easy to operate, allowing users to easily insert or remove the broom, improving usability. This cleaning component design enables users to complete cleaning tasks more efficiently, enhancing the overall user experience.

[0165] Furthermore, the locking mechanism can be designed as a flexible snap-fit. When the broom is placed on the locking mechanism, the snap-fit ​​can tightly conform to the shape of the broom, ensuring that the broom will not easily fall off during sweeping. At the same time, this locking method also makes it easy for users to quickly remove or place the broom, improving sweeping efficiency. In addition, the position of the locking mechanism can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. It can be set on the upper part of the dustpan handle 200 for easy one-handed operation, or it can be set on the handle structure 220, allowing users to easily pick up the broom while holding the dustpan.

[0166] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
