Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of plastic container technology, specifically relating to a plastic bucket that is easy to pour liquids into. Background Technology

[0002] Existing plastic containers for storing and pouring liquids often present the following problems: Firstly, to ensure stability, the bottom of the container is usually designed as a flat structure, requiring significant external force to lift one side of the container when pouring. This is especially problematic when the container is full, making operation laborious and prone to tipping over due to instability, posing a safety hazard. Secondly, while some tilting containers have added fixed tilting structures, they cannot flexibly switch between "stable placement" and "tilting" states, limiting their applicability. Furthermore, traditional containers lack an intuitive liquid level display, making it difficult for users to quickly determine the remaining liquid volume, resulting in insufficient ease of use.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a liquid plastic container is needed that can be placed stably, allows for convenient pouring, and features a liquid level display function, thereby improving operational safety and ease of use. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A plastic bucket for easy pouring of liquid includes a bucket body, a support assembly, and a base assembly. The support assembly is installed at the bottom of the bucket body, and the base assembly is provided at the bottom of the support assembly.

[0006] The support base assembly includes a base plate and a rotating connector. The base plate is connected to the barrel body, and the rotating connector is located at the bottom of the support base assembly.

[0007] The base assembly includes a base, a movable support member, and a driving member. The base is provided with a rotating engagement part that mates with a rotating connector. The support assembly and the base assembly are rotatably connected via the rotating connector and the rotating engagement part. The movable support member is slidably disposed on the base, and the driving member is connected to the movable support member to drive it to slide.

[0008] When the movable support is in the first position, its top abuts against the bottom of the base plate to support the barrel and keep it in a stable position;

[0009] When the movable support moves to the second position under the action of the driving component, one side of the base plate loses support, and the barrel can tilt to one side around the joint between the rotating connector and the rotating mating part.

[0010] Furthermore, a liquid level display device is provided on the side of the barrel.

[0011] Furthermore, the liquid level display device is surrounded by reflective strips.

[0012] Furthermore, a color-coded ruler is provided on one side of the liquid level display device.

[0013] Furthermore, the support assembly also includes a triangular side plate, which is fixedly installed on both sides of the base plate, and the rotating connector is installed at the bottom of the triangular side plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the base assembly also includes a guide structure, which includes a slider disposed at the bottom of the movable support and a guide groove disposed at the top of the base. The slider and the guide groove are slidably engaged to limit the sliding direction of the movable support.

[0015] Furthermore, the base assembly also includes a side support frame, which is mounted on one side of the top of the base, and the drive component is movably disposed through the side support frame.

[0016] Furthermore, a rubber strip is provided on the top of the side support frame.

[0017] Furthermore, the end of the drive member away from the movable support member is provided with a handle.

[0018] Furthermore, an inclined support is provided on one side of the top of the base.

[0019] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0020] 1. This utility model achieves rapid switching between a stable placement and a tilting state of the bucket by rotating the support assembly and the base assembly, combined with the position adjustment of the movable support component. When the movable support component is in the first position, it can stably support the bucket and ensure stability during storage. When moved to the second position, the bucket can tilt around the rotating connection, allowing for easy pouring of liquid without lifting, reducing operational intensity and avoiding the risk of tipping over. The base plate and triangular side plate of the support assembly form a stable support structure, the guide groove of the base assembly ensures smooth sliding of the movable support component, and the side support frame limits the drive component. The overall structure is reasonably stressed, improving the reliability of long-term use.

[0021] 2. This utility model optimizes the display method, making the water level display more prominent and obvious. A high-contrast color-coded scale is used in the water level display area, with large font sizes for easy viewing by operators from a distance. Different colors are used for different liquid level ranges: green for low levels, yellow for medium levels, and red for high levels. When the liquid level in the tank is low, the green display area allows operators to easily see the level and promptly remind them to refill. Reflective strips are installed around the water level display area, ensuring that the liquid level is clearly visible even in low-light environments. Attached Figure Description

[0032] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0034] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a plastic bucket for easy-to-pour liquid includes a bucket body 1, a liquid level display device 2, a support assembly 3, and a base assembly 4.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 The barrel body 1, as the main body for liquid storage, is injection molded from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The bottom inner side of the barrel body 1 is provided with a slot for a stable connection with the base plate 301 of the support assembly 3. The side of the barrel body 1 has a pre-set mounting groove for embedding the liquid level display device 2. The length of the mounting groove is adapted to the liquid level display device 2 to ensure that the liquid level display device 2 is not loose and is sealed after installation.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 The liquid level display device 2 is a long, transparent strip made of polycarbonate (PC) material, covering the area from the bottom of the container 1 to below the opening, providing a complete view of the liquid level changes inside the container. A reflective strip 201, made of PET material with an adhesive backing, is attached around the outside of the liquid level display device 2 for easy and quick liquid level identification in low-light conditions. A color-coded marker 202 is glued to one side of the liquid level display device 2. This device features optimized display methods, making the water level display more prominent and obvious. The water level display area uses high-contrast color-coded markers 202 with large fonts for easy viewing from a distance. Different colors are used for different liquid level ranges: green for low levels, yellow for medium levels, and red for high levels. When the liquid level is low, the green display area allows the operator to easily see the situation and promptly remind them to replenish the liquid. Sealant can be applied between the liquid level display device 2 and the mounting groove of the container 1 to prevent liquid leakage.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The support assembly 3 is used to connect the barrel 1 and the base assembly 4. It consists of a base plate 301, a triangular side plate 302, and a rotating connector 303. The base plate 301 is adapted to the bottom of the barrel 1 and is slightly larger than the bottom of the barrel 1. The upper surface of the base plate 301 is provided with a protrusion that matches the slot at the bottom of the barrel 1 to ensure coaxiality after being engaged with the barrel 1. The bottom of the triangular side plate 302 is provided with a through hole, the diameter of which is adapted to the outer diameter of the rotating connector 303. The rotating connector 303 is made of stainless steel and is installed in the through hole of the triangular side plate 302 with an interference fit. Both ends of the rotating connector 303 extend out of the outside of the triangular side plate 302 for engaging with the rotating engagement part 408 of the base assembly 4. Of course, the base plate 301 and the triangular side plate 302 can also be integrally formed, and the rotating connector 303 is fixed to the integrally formed triangular side plate 302 by bolts.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The base assembly 4 serves as the overall support and tilting drive structure, including a base 401, a side support frame 402, a rubber strip 403, a drive component 404, a movable support component 405, a sliding component 406, a guide groove 407, a rotating mating part 408, and an inclined support component 409. The base 401 has a pre-drilled mounting slot at its top for fixing the rotating mating part 408 and the side support frame 402. The side support frame 402 has a circular through hole at its center, with a diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the drive component 404, ensuring the drive component 404 can pass through flexibly. The rubber strip 403 is bonded to the top of the side support frame 402, buffering the impact force on the base plate 301 when the bucket 1 tilts. One end of the drive component 404 is fixedly connected to the movable support component 405 via a thread, and the other end... A handle is provided for easy manual pushing and pulling; the movable support 405 is a rigid block structure with a contact surface on the top, which is adapted to the bottom of the base plate 301, and two sliding parts 406 are fixed on both sides of the bottom by bolts; the sliding parts 406 are made of nylon and have a "T" shaped cross section, and the guide groove 407 is a "T" shaped groove opened on the top of the base 401. The sliding parts 406 and the guide groove 407 are clearance-fitted to restrict the movable support 405 to slide only in the front and back direction; the rotating mating part 408 is fixed to the top of the base 401, and the bearing hole of the rotating mating part 408 is clearance-fitted with the rotating connector 303 to ensure that the support base assembly 3 can rotate flexibly around the rotating connector 303; the tilting support 409 has a suitable tilt angle and is used to protect the barrel 1 from contact with the ground when the whole is tilted.

[0039] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6The support base assembly 3 is fixed to the bottom slot of the barrel 1 by the protrusion (not shown) of the base plate 301. The base assembly 4 is connected to the support base assembly 3 by the rotating fitting part 408 and the rotating connector 303 of the support base assembly 3. The liquid level display device 2 is embedded in the mounting groove on the side of the barrel 1. The reflective strip 201 is pasted around the outside of the liquid level display device 2. The color mark ruler 202 is fixed to one side of the liquid level display device 2, completing the overall assembly.

[0040] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0041] When liquid needs to be stored, ensure that the movable support 405 is in the first position (the end away from the side support frame 402). At this time, the top of the movable support 405 is in complete contact with the bottom of the base plate 301. The two sides of the base plate 301 are supported by the movable support 405 and the side support frame 402 respectively. The tank 1 remains vertical and stable, and liquid can be injected into the tank. The user can use the liquid level display device 2 in conjunction with the reflective strip 201 and the color mark ruler 202 to intuitively read the remaining liquid in the tank and avoid liquid overflow.

[0042] When liquid needs to be poured, hold the handle of the drive member 404 and pull it outward, causing the movable support member 405 to slide along the guide groove 407 to the second position (one end near the side support frame 402). At this time, the side of the substrate 301 away from the side support frame 402 loses support. Under the action of liquid gravity, the bucket 1 drives the support base assembly 3 to tilt to one side around the joint between the rotating connector 303 and the rotating mating part 408. During the pouring process, the tilting support member 409 limits the substrate 301 to prevent the liquid from splashing due to excessive tilting angle. The rubber strip 403 on the top of the side support frame 402 is used to squeeze the bucket 1 towards the side support frame 402 when the worker needs to pull the movable support member 405. The contraction of the rubber strip 403 can reduce the pressure of the bucket 1 on the top of the movable support member 405, making it easier for the worker to pull.

[0043] After the liquid is poured, push the handle of the drive unit 404 to reset the movable support 405 to the first position along the guide groove 407. The movable support 405 then re-abuts against the bottom of the substrate 301, and the substrate 301 is fully supported. The tank 1 returns to a vertical and stable state, and the next liquid storage or pouring operation can be carried out.

[0044] This device, which accommodates easily tilted liquids in a plastic container, consists only of the container body 1, the liquid level display device 2, the support assembly 3, and the base assembly 4. With fewer components and lower processing difficulty, its procurement and manufacturing costs are more economical than traditional plastic containers with complex tilting structures. Installation is simple, requiring only the use of slots and bolts to assemble the components, eliminating the need for complex adjustments and ensuring high installation efficiency. Post-installation maintenance only requires checking the firmness of connections and the smooth sliding of the movable support 405, resulting in low maintenance costs. It is suitable for various applications, including industrial workshops, agricultural irrigation, and household liquid storage. The transparent structure of the liquid level display device 2, in conjunction with the reflective strip 201 and the color-marked ruler 202, enables accurate liquid level reading. The design of the "T"-shaped sliding component 406 and the guide groove 407 prevents lateral displacement of the movable support 405, improving operational stability.
