Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a winnowing basket, specifically a winnowing basket with comb teeth that can rotate independently. Background Technology

[0002] After sweeping, brooms inevitably get tangled with hair and other filaments. To make it easier to remove these filaments from the broom head, comb teeth are installed at the upper end of the dustpan. These comb teeth remove the filaments from the broom head, but the filaments will then get tangled in the comb teeth, requiring manual cleaning of the hair from the comb teeth.

[0003] CN111789546A discloses a comb-tooth self-cleaning dustpan and a sweeping tool, including a dustpan body, a first comb tooth and a rotating beam on the dustpan body, and a cleaning part on the rotating beam. The cleaning part can move with the rotating beam and insert into the gap between the teeth of the first comb tooth or disengage from the gap.

[0004] The cleaning section of the winnowing basket described above is mounted on a rotating beam. The cleaning section moves with the beam and engages with the gaps between the teeth of the first comb. This structure requires high precision from both the cleaning section and the comb teeth. Since winnowing baskets are typically made of plastic, the cleaning section and comb teeth are prone to deformation, making precise engagement impossible and affecting usability. The cleaning section requires a rod to rotate; a 90-degree rotation requires the rod to rotate from its highest point to the bottom. A person must hold the rod, go from standing to squatting, and then stand up again to complete one rotation – a very tiring process. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a winnowing basket with independently rotatable comb teeth. An independently rotatable comb tooth device is set on the top of the winnowing basket body. When the comb teeth are in a horizontal state, they are located on the upper side of the winnowing basket port. When the comb teeth are in a vertical state, they are located inside the winnowing basket port and facing the bottom plate. Hair wrapped around the comb teeth can automatically fall into the winnowing basket body under the action of gravity or through vibration. This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is adopted: A winnowing basket with independently rotatable comb teeth includes a basket body and a handle. The front side of the basket body has a basket opening, and the lower end of the handle is connected to the basket body. The basket body is characterized by a comb tooth plate at the top, with rotating arms on both sides. The comb tooth plate is pivotally connected to both sides of the basket body via the rotating arms. The front side of the comb tooth plate has comb teeth, and the rear side of the comb tooth plate extends rearward to form an operating section. The comb tooth plate can rotate independently relative to the basket body about the pivot points of the rotating arms. Initially, the comb tooth plate is in a horizontal state, with the comb teeth located above the basket opening. When the comb tooth plate rotates to an upright state, the comb teeth face downwards towards the bottom plate of the basket opening.

[0007] The rear end of the operating part protrudes from the rear side of the winnowing basket body.

[0008] The operating part has a clearance opening at the position corresponding to the handle lever.

[0009] A driving structure is provided between the rotating arm and the scoop body, and a locking structure is provided between the comb plate and the top of the scoop body. The locking structure keeps the comb plate in a horizontal state, and the driving structure drives the comb plate to rotate from the horizontal state to the vertical state when the locking structure is released.

[0010] A driving structure is provided between the rotating arm and the scoop body, and the driving structure applies a force to the comb plate to rotate it from a vertical state to a horizontal state.

[0011] The driving structure is a torsion spring sleeved on the pivot joint.

[0012] The locking structure is a magnetic attraction structure, a spring-loaded lock, or a snap fastener located at the bottom of the comb plate and the top of the hopper body.

[0013] This invention features an independent comb plate rotatably mounted on the winnowing basket body. The rotation of the comb plate is unaffected by the handle. The comb plate can be rotated by pushing with the toes or by a drive structure such as a torsion spring. When the comb plate is in an upright position relative to the winnowing basket, the comb teeth face the bottom plate of the winnowing basket opening. At this time, the hair on the comb teeth will automatically fall into the winnowing basket body under the action of gravity or through vibration, preventing the hair from accumulating on the comb teeth and preventing the growth of bacteria. This invention has the characteristics of simple structure and convenient use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0015] like Figure 1-5As shown, a winnowing basket with independently rotatable comb teeth includes a basket body 1 and a handle 2. The front side of the basket body 1 has a basket opening 11. The lower end of the handle 2 is connected to the basket body 1. A comb plate 3 is provided on the top of the basket body 1. Rotating arms 31 are provided on both sides of the comb plate 3. The comb plate 3 is pivotally connected to both sides of the basket body 1 through the rotating arms 31. The front side of the comb plate 3 is provided with comb teeth 32. The rear side of the comb plate 3 extends backward to form an operating part 33. The comb plate 3 can rotate independently relative to the basket body 1 about the pivot part of the rotating arms 31. The comb plate 3 is initially in a horizontal state. At this time, the comb teeth 32 of the comb plate 3 are located on the upper side of the basket opening 11. When the comb plate 3 is rotated to an upright state, the comb teeth 32 of the comb plate face downward toward the bottom plate of the basket opening 11. The operating part 33 has a clearance opening 34 corresponding to the position of the handle 2. The rear end of the operating part 33 protrudes from the rear side of the basket body 1.

[0016] This utility model features an independent comb plate rotatably mounted on the winnowing basket body. The rotation of the comb plate is not affected by the handle. The rear end of the operating part 33 protrudes from the rear side of the winnowing basket body 1. The comb plate can be rotated to an upright position by pushing it with the toes. When the comb plate is in an upright position relative to the winnowing basket, the comb teeth face the bottom plate of the winnowing basket opening. At this time, the hair on the comb teeth will automatically fall into the winnowing basket body under the action of gravity. If some hair cannot fall off automatically by gravity, the winnowing basket body can be manually vibrated to make the hair fall off. This prevents hair from accumulating on the comb teeth and prevents the growth of bacteria. It has the characteristics of simple structure and convenient use.

[0017] Other examples Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the present invention may also provide a driving structure between the rotating arm 31 and the winnowing basket body 1. In this embodiment, the driving structure is a torsion spring 4 sleeved on the pivot. The torsion spring 4 exerts a force on the comb plate in two directions. One is the force that drives the comb plate to rotate from a horizontal state to an upright state. When the torsion spring exerts a force that drives the comb plate to rotate from a horizontal state to an upright state, a locking structure is provided between the comb plate 3 and the top of the winnowing basket body 1. In this embodiment, the locking structure is a magnetic attraction structure 5 provided at the bottom of the comb plate and the top of the winnowing basket body. The magnetic attraction structure 5 can keep the comb plate 3 in a horizontal state. When the external force separates the magnetic attraction structure 5, the torsion spring 4 will immediately drive the comb plate to rotate from a horizontal state to an upright state.

[0018] Another type is the force that drives the comb plate to rotate from an upright state to a horizontal state. In this case, the rear end of the operating part 33 needs to protrude from the rear side of the scoop body 1. By lifting the operating part 33 with the toes, the comb plate 3 is flipped to an upright state. When the force of the toes is released, the comb plate 3 automatically returns to a horizontal state under the action of the torsion spring 4.

[0019] The driving and locking structures of this utility model are not limited to these. Structures that use similar structures to achieve automatic rotation of the comb plate and keep the comb plate locked are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
