Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water bucket technology, specifically to a foldable support for water buckets. Background Technology

[0002] A bucket is a container used to hold drinking water or other liquids. In practical use, especially in outdoor settings, a spout is usually provided at the bottom of the bucket to allow the water to flow out naturally, making it convenient for users to fill or use water as needed.

[0003] However, due to structural limitations and the placement of the bucket, especially when placed horizontally, it is difficult to place a cup or other container at the spout. To make full use of the water and for easy filling, users usually lift the bucket by hand and pour it out, which is quite strenuous. Alternatively, they place the bucket on a table or other object for support, but this is not always convenient in outdoor settings, making the use of the bucket relatively inconvenient. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the bucket structure to allow for flexible and convenient raising and supporting of the bucket, placing the spout at a higher position to provide sufficient space for water use or filling, so as to place a cup for filling. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a foldable support for a water bucket to at least solve some of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A foldable bucket support includes a support plate and support legs. The support plate is detachably connected to the bucket, and the support legs are pivotally connected to the support plate. The support legs have a supporting state and a retracted state. When the support legs are in the supporting state, they are positioned to support the bottom of the bucket. When the support legs are in the retracted state, they are positioned to retract onto the side wall of the bucket.

[0006] The principle and advantages of this solution are as follows: the support plate is detachably connected to the bucket, making it easy to install the structure on the bucket as needed to raise and support it, so that the water outlet on the bucket is in a high position, leaving enough space for water to be used or for placing a water cup to collect water; the support plate and support feet are connected in a relatively pivotal manner, which makes it easy to adjust the support height of the bucket flexibly and conveniently by adjusting the state of the support feet, making it more convenient to use.

[0007] Preferably, as an improvement, the support plate has a mounting portion, the mounting portion is provided with ribs, and there is a transition slope between the mounting portion and the support plate.

[0008] Beneficial effects: By adopting the above technical solution, it is easy to assemble or install the support plate at the bottom of the water bucket through the cooperation of the installation part and the ribs, which makes the operation more convenient and at the same time prevents the support plate from falling off or detaching from the water bucket.

[0009] Preferably, as an improvement, the support plate has a hollow structure, and the support plate has multiple transverse reinforcing ribs and multiple longitudinal reinforcing ribs inside.

[0010] Beneficial effects: Based on considerations of injection molding process and structural strength, the arrangement of transverse and longitudinal stiffeners helps to improve the overall structural strength of the support plate while meeting the requirements of the injection molding process.

[0011] Preferably, as an improvement, a pivot is provided between the support plate and the support foot, and a limiting and locking assembly is provided between the support plate and the support foot.

[0012] Beneficial effects: By adopting the above technical solution and arranging the pivot, the relative folding operation between the support plate and the support foot can be realized, that is, the support height of the bucket can be adjusted flexibly and conveniently; by arranging the limit locking components, it helps to maintain the corresponding support state or storage state, and avoids unnecessary movement caused by the lack of limit between structures, thereby affecting the stability of the support.

[0013] Preferably, as an improvement, the support foot is provided with a protrusion, and the end of the support foot has a concave portion.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The above technical solution facilitates the use of protrusions to retract the support legs and further confine them to the side wall of the bucket, preventing the support legs from falling off; the concave design allows users to easily detach the support legs from the bucket by manipulating the concave part, making it easier to apply external force.

[0015] Preferably, as an improvement, the limiting and locking assembly includes a support assembly, a rotating assembly, and an elastic element, with the rotating shaft movably passing through the support assembly and the rotating assembly; the support assembly has a first limiting part, the rotating assembly has a second limiting part, and the elastic element is used to maintain the movement tendency of the second limiting part and the first limiting part to be limited and locked together.

[0016] Beneficial effects: By adopting the above technical solution, it is easy to maintain the corresponding support state or storage state through the joint action of the first limiting part, the second limiting part and the elastic element, avoiding unnecessary movement caused by the lack of limiting between structures, thereby affecting the stability of the support.

[0017] Preferably, as an improvement, the support assembly includes a first support and a second support located on the support plate; the rotating assembly includes a first rotating part, a second rotating part, and a third rotating part located on the support foot; the movement path of the second rotating part is limited between the first support and the second support; the elastic element is sleeved on the rotating shaft and arranged between the second support and the third rotating part.

[0018] Beneficial effects: The above scheme facilitates the relative displacement of the support foot with the support plate along the direction of the rotation axis, thereby releasing or activating the jamming state between the two components, the support foot and the support plate, making the overall structural design more reasonable.

[0019] Preferably, as an improvement, the support foot has a main structural surface and a secondary structural surface, the main structural surface and the secondary structural surface are connected and transitioned in a bent shape, and the overall area of ​​the main structural surface is larger than the overall area of ​​the secondary structural surface.

[0020] Beneficial effects: The above solution helps the support feet to fit the angled structure of the side wall of the bucket, allowing the support feet to fit more closely to the angled part of the side wall of the bucket.

[0021] Preferably, as an improvement, the support plate is provided with holes for mounting casters.

[0022] Beneficial effects: The above solution makes it easy to install casters as needed, making it convenient for users to move buckets. Attached Figure Description

[0034] This embodiment is basically as shown in the appendix. Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 10 As shown: A foldable bracket for a water bucket includes a support plate 100 and support feet 200. The support plate 100 is detachably connected to the water bucket 300, and the support feet 200 are pivotally connected to the support plate 100. In this embodiment, the water bucket 300 is a rectangular or square bucket, that is, it is suitable for water buckets 300 with folded corners. Two of the foldable brackets can be installed on each water bucket 300 to correspond to two opposite front and rear positions at the bottom of the water bucket 300.

[0035] In the above technical solution, support feet 200 are arranged on the outer sides of both ends of the support plate 100 to achieve stable support for the water bucket 300.

[0036] The support leg 200 has a supporting state and a retracted state. When the support leg 200 is in the supporting state, it is tilted and positioned to support the bottom of the bucket 300, raising the bucket 300 and placing the water outlet 301 at a higher position. This provides sufficient space for water to be used or filled, eliminating the need to manually lift the bucket 300 to reach the water, greatly improving the convenience of water use. When the support leg 200 is in the retracted state, it fits snugly and is retracted into the side wall of the bucket 300. The support can be disassembled when the bucket 300 needs to be moved, or it can be moved without disassembly, further enhancing the ease of use and making the product more practical.

[0037] To facilitate convenient and stable installation between the support plate 100 and the bucket 300, in this embodiment, the support plate 100 has a mounting portion 110, which is provided with ribs 111. A transition slope 101 is provided between the mounting portion 110 and the support plate 100. Specifically, the support plate 100 has mounting portions 110 at both ends. The mounting portions 110 are plate-shaped and arranged vertically relative to the support plate 100. The support plate 100 and the mounting portions 110 at both ends are integrally formed, which helps to improve the strength of the overall structure.

[0038] The side wall of the bucket 300 is provided with a first groove 302, which is adapted to the rib 111. When the support plate 100 is installed on the bucket 300, the first groove 302 and the rib 111 are adapted to limit the position, so that the support plate 100 can be assembled or installed at the bottom of the bucket 300. The operation is more convenient, and at the same time, the support plate 100 is prevented from falling off or detaching from the bucket 300.

[0039] Furthermore, the support foot 200 is provided with a protrusion 201, and the side wall of the bucket 300 is provided with a second groove 303. The second groove 303 is adapted to the protrusion 201. When the support foot 200 is folded and stored on the bucket 300, the second groove 303 and the protrusion 201 are adapted to limit the position, so that the support foot 200 is stored on the side wall of the bucket 300. The operation is more convenient, and at the same time, it can also prevent the support foot 200 from falling off or detaching from the bucket 300.

[0040] The support foot 200 has a recessed portion 202 at its end, a support end 203 and an inclined portion 204 at its end. The support end 203 is used to contact the ground. The recessed portion 202 is located at the inclined portion 204, which can appropriately prevent the inclined portion 204 from contacting the ground and keep the recessed portion 202 clean. Based on the design of the recessed portion 202, it is easy for the user to peel the support foot 200 off the side wall of the bucket 300 by operating the recessed portion 202, which is convenient for applying external force.

[0041] In injection molding, straight strip or straight plate injection molding is more difficult, even difficult to process, and may undergo certain deformation during the injection process. In particular, it is impossible to ensure a relatively consistent and uniform thickness of the structure. Based on the consideration of injection molding process and structural strength factors, the support plate 100 is a hollow structure with multiple transverse reinforcing ribs 102 and multiple longitudinal reinforcing ribs 103 inside. By arranging the transverse reinforcing ribs 102 and longitudinal reinforcing ribs 103, the overall structural strength of the support plate 100 is improved, while meeting the requirements of the injection molding process.

[0042] The support plate 100 and the support foot 200 are hinged to each other. In this embodiment, a pivot 130 is provided between the support plate 100 and the support foot 200. The support foot 200 can be folded relative to the support plate 100 with the pivot 130 as support. In order to maintain the corresponding support state or storage state and avoid unnecessary movement due to the lack of limit between the structures, thereby affecting the stability of the support, in this embodiment, a limit locking component 120 is provided between the support plate 100 and the support foot 200.

[0043] Specifically, the limiting and locking assembly 120 includes a support assembly, a rotating assembly, and an elastic element 140. The support assembly is located on the support plate 100, and the rotating assembly is located on the support foot 200. The rotating shaft 130 movably passes through the support assembly and the rotating assembly. The support assembly has a first limiting part 121, and the rotating assembly has a second limiting part 122. The elastic element 140 is used to maintain the movement tendency of the second limiting part 122 and the first limiting part 121 to be limited and locked. It is convenient to maintain the corresponding supporting state or storage state through the joint action of the first limiting part 121, the second limiting part 122, and the elastic element 140, so as to avoid unnecessary movement caused by the lack of limiting between structures, thereby affecting the stability of the support.

[0044] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a first support portion 123 and a second support portion 124 located on the support plate 100, with a gap between the first support portion 123 and the second support portion 124; the rotating assembly includes a first rotating portion 125, a second rotating portion 126, and a third rotating portion 127 located on the support foot 200; the movement path of the second rotating portion 126 is limited to the gap between the first support portion 123 and the second support portion 124; the elastic element 140 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 130, and the elastic element 140 is arranged between the second support portion 124 and the third rotating portion 127; preferably, the elastic element 140 is a spring, which facilitates the relative displacement between the support foot 200 and the support plate 100 along the direction of the rotating shaft 130, so as to release or activate the jamming state between the two components of the support foot and the support plate 100, making the overall structural design more reasonable.

[0045] When the support leg 200 is in the supported state, the support leg 200 is tilted and limited to the bottom of the bucket 300. At this time, the second limiting part 122 and the first limiting part 121 are mutually limited and locked, that is, the support plate 100 and the support leg 200 are locked. When it is necessary to store the support leg 200, the third rotating part 127 is pressed, so that the third rotating part 127 compresses the elastic member 140 while moving, until the first rotating part 125 and the first supporting part 123 are relatively misaligned, and the second rotating part 126 and the first supporting part 127 are also misaligned. The two support parts 124 are relatively misaligned, that is, the second limiting part 122 is disengaged from the first limiting part 121 and loses its limiting and locking function. At this time, the support foot 200 is folded upward and stored on the side wall of the water bucket 300. Based on the relatively integral design of the support foot 200 and the water bucket 300, compared with the existing technology that uses multiple independent parts to support the water bucket, the integration between the bracket and the water bucket 300 in this technical solution is higher, making the overall structure stronger and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0046] The support foot 200 has a main structural surface 205 and a secondary structural surface 206. The main structural surface 205 and the secondary structural surface 206 are connected and transitioned in a bent shape, and the overall area of ​​the main structural surface 205 is larger than the overall area of ​​the secondary structural surface 206. This facilitates the adaptation of the support foot 200 to the side wall corner structure of the bucket 300, allowing the support foot 200 to fit more closely to the side wall corner of the bucket 300, and further enhancing the overall aesthetics of the bucket 300.

[0047] The support plate 100 is provided with holes 104 for mounting casters. Preferably, each support plate 100 has two holes 104. When the casters are mounted at the holes 104, it is convenient for users to move the water bucket 300, especially when moving the water bucket 300 filled with liquid. This is a significant advantage compared to the prior art where casters cannot be mounted on the bottom of the water bucket 300.

[0048] Furthermore, the side wall of the bucket 300 is provided with a storage position 304, which is used to accommodate the support foot 200. The shape of the storage position 304 basically matches the support foot 200. The storage position 304 is arranged concavely in relation to the bucket 300, so that the support foot 200 will not protrude too much from the side wall of the bucket 300 after being accommodated. In addition, the arrangement of the storage position 304 also helps to improve the structural strength of the side wall of the bucket 300.

[0049] In some scenarios, users can open one side of the support leg 200 for support, that is, the front of the bucket is supported by the bracket structure, and the support leg 200 at the rear of the bucket does not need to be opened, but is supported by the space of the site; or the rear of the bucket can be supported by the bracket, without opening the support leg 200 at the front of the bucket, but is supported by the space of the site; thus, it is flexibly applicable to a variety of scenarios or environments.
