Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of trash can technology, and in particular to a lockable trash can assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In the current urban waste collection and transportation system, large garbage trucks and matching garbage containers constitute an efficient waste transfer and transportation mode. The core technology lies in the hydraulic system integrated on the garbage truck. For example, hook-lift garbage trucks use a hydraulic system to drive the hook-lift mechanism, which drags and lifts the fully loaded garbage container to the top of the truck body, and then tilts it to complete the dumping of the garbage.

[0003] However, the hooklift mechanism and its hydraulic system are complex and bulky, resulting in high overall vehicle costs. Furthermore, they require a dedicated large chassis, making them incompatible with small, low-cost vehicles such as three-wheeled electric vehicles. Large hooklift trucks also require a wide operating radius and solid parking ground, making them difficult to operate in narrow, congested areas or areas with limited ground load-bearing capacity, or even impossible to access. For small garbage trucks with a load capacity of several hundred kilograms, equipping them with hydraulic lifting devices would result in functional redundancy and resource waste.

[0004] Therefore, how to design a garbage container assembly suitable for small garbage carriers that does not require complex mechanical devices, is easy to operate manually, is firmly connected to the carrier during transportation, and can be quickly unlocked at the unloading point is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a lockable trash can assembly.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a lockable garbage bin assembly, comprising a frame, a bin body, and a locking mechanism. The bottom of the bin body is provided with a flip-up lug, and the frame is hinged to the flip-up lug. A locking lug and a handle are provided on the front side of the bin body. The handle is used to rotate the bin body around the hinged end of the frame. Optionally, the locking mechanism includes a pivot, a handle, a limiting plate, and a locking hook. The pivot is hinged to the locking lug, the handle is located at the end of the pivot, the limiting plate and the locking hook are both located on the pivot, the limiting plate is located between the locking lug and the handle, and the locking hook is located between the locking lug and the limiting plate. The handle is used to drive the limiting plate and the locking hook to rotate synchronously around the hinged end of the pivot. Optionally, the frame is mounted on a carrier, and the frame has a limiting post on its side near the locking mechanism. The limiting post is used to engage with the locking hook.

[0007] Optionally, the number of each of the flip-up ear piece, the locking ear piece, the handle, the grip, the limiting plate, the locking hook, and the limiting post is two, and the two flip-up ear pieces, the two locking ear pieces, the two handles, the two grips, the two limiting plates, the two locking hooks, and the two limiting posts are arranged symmetrically from left to right.

[0008] Optionally, one end of the handle is fixed to the rotating shaft, and the other end extends forward. One end of the limiting plate is fixed to the rotating shaft, and the other end extends away from the extension of the handle. The extension of the limiting plate is used to abut against the limiting post.

[0009] Optionally, the fixed end of the handle to the extension of the handle is curved from wide to narrow.

[0010] Optionally, the hook end of the locking hook has an L-shaped structure and is positioned towards the limiting plate.

[0011] Optionally, the handle is a semi-circular ring structure.

[0012] Optionally, the top and rear of the enclosure are open structures.

[0013] The present invention adopts the above technical solution, and compared with the prior art, the technical effects are as follows:

[0014] (1) The locking mechanism can secure the box to the frame, ensuring a firm connection between the box and the vehicle during transportation;

[0015] (2) The handle can fit closely with the operator's hand, making it easy for the operator to push or pull the handle up or down, thereby driving the locking mechanism to rotate and realizing quick unlocking of the car body and the car frame at the unloading point;

[0016] (3) When the limiting post is attached to the locking hook, the limiting post is located between the limiting plate and the locking hook, and its front and rear sides are blocked, so it is not easy to detach, making the box body more reliably fixed to the frame through the locking mechanism.

[0017] (4) The handle is a semi-circular ring structure, which is easy for the operator to grasp and thus drive the carriage to flip. No complicated mechanical device is required, which is easy to operate manually.

[0018] (5) The top and rear of the container are open structures. This open structure can not only show the stacking status of the materials inside the container, making it easy to control the transport volume, but also provide open windows to facilitate cleaning of the inside of the container.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection", "fixing", and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this patent can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] like Figures 1-6As shown, this utility model provides a lockable trash can assembly, including a frame 1, a body 2, and a locking mechanism 3. A flip-up lug 21 is provided at the bottom of the body 2, and the frame 1 is hinged to the flip-up lug 21. A locking lug 22 and a handle 23 are provided on the front side of the body 2. The handle 23 is used to rotate the body 2 around the hinged end of the frame 1. The locking mechanism 3 includes a rotating shaft 31, a handle 32, a limiting plate 33, and a locking hook 34. The rotating shaft 31 is hinged to the locking lug 22. The handle 32 is located at the end of the rotating shaft 31. The limiting plate 33 and the locking hook 34 are both located on the rotating shaft 31. The limiting plate 33 is located between the locking lug 22 and the handle 32, and the locking hook 34 is located between the locking lug 22 and the limiting plate 33. The handle 32 is used to drive the limiting plate 33 and the locking hook 34 to rotate synchronously around the hinged end of the rotating shaft 31. The frame 1 has a limit post 11 on the side near the locking mechanism 3, which is used to engage with the locking hook 34. Specifically, there are two of each of the following: flip-up lugs 21, locking lugs 22, handles 23, handles 32, limit plates 33, locking hooks 34, and limit posts 11. The two flip-up lugs 21, two locking lugs 22, two handles 23, two handles 32, two limit plates 33, two locking hooks 34, and two limit posts 11 are arranged symmetrically on the left and right.

[0032] The flip-up lug 21, locking lug 22, and handle 23 can all be welded to the housing 2 as a whole. The frame 1 is mounted on the vehicle, and the housing 2 is hinged to the frame 1 via the flip-up lug 21. The locking mechanism 3 is hinged to the housing 2 via the locking lug 22. Therefore, the locking mechanism 3 can secure the housing 2 to the frame 1, ensuring a firm connection between the housing 2 and the vehicle during transportation.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, one end of the handle 32 is fixed to the rotating shaft 31, and the other end extends forward. One end of the limiting plate 33 is fixed to the rotating shaft 31, and the other end extends away from the extension of the handle 32. The extension of the limiting plate 33 is used to abut against the limiting post 11. Specifically, the fixed end of the handle 32 and the extension of the handle 32 are curved from wide to narrow. In use, the handle 32 can fit closely with the operator's hand, making it easy for the operator to push or pull the handle 32 up or down, thereby driving the locking mechanism 3 to rotate and realizing quick unlocking of the car body 2 and the frame 1 at the unloading point.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the hook end of the locking hook 34 has an L-shaped structure and is positioned towards the limiting plate 33. It can be seen that when the limiting post 11 is hooked onto the locking hook 34, the limiting post 11 is located between the limiting plate 33 and the locking hook 34, and its front and rear sides are blocked, so it is not easy to detach, making the fixing of the box 2 to the frame 1 through the locking mechanism 3 more reliable.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the handle 23 has a semi-circular ring structure, which makes it easy for the operator to grip and drive the carriage 2 to flip. No complicated mechanical devices are required, making it easy to operate manually.

[0036] It should be understood that when the limiting post 11 is engaged with the locking hook 34, the locking mechanism 3 locks the frame 1 and the box 2 together, and the box 2 cannot be flipped at this time. When the locking mechanism 3 rotates until the limiting post 11 and the locking hook 34 are separated, the frame 1 and the box 2 are unlocked, and the box 2 can be flipped around the hinge end of the frame 1.

[0037] It should also be understood that when the locking mechanism 3 rotates until the extension of the limiting plate 33 abuts against the limiting post 11, the limiting post 11 separates from the locking hook 34, at which point the frame 1 and the housing 2 are in contact and locked. Therefore, the operator can quickly determine whether the housing 2 is locked by observing the contact between the limiting plate 33 and the limiting post 11. The locking mechanism 3 stops rotating when the extension of the limiting plate 33 abuts against the limiting post 11, reducing the rotational stroke and helping to reduce wear on the hinge end of the rotating shaft 31.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the top and rear of the container 1 are open structures, allowing for loading and unloading through the rear. This open structure not only displays the material stacking status inside the container 1, facilitating control of the transport volume, but also provides an open window for easy cleaning of the interior of the container 1.

[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0040] When unloading, push the handle 32 up. The handle 32 drives the limiting plate 33 and the locking hook 34 to rotate synchronously around the hinge end of the rotating shaft 31 until the extension of the limiting plate 33 abuts against the limiting post 11. At this time, the limiting post 11 has separated from the locking hook 34. Then push the handle 23. The handle 23 drives the box 2 to flip backward around the hinge end of the frame 1, and pour the material out of the box 1.

[0041] When locked, pull down the handle 23. The handle 23 causes the housing 2 to rotate forward around the hinge end of the frame 1. At the same time, pull the handle 32. The handle 32 causes the limiting plate 33 and the locking hook 34 to rotate synchronously around the hinge end of the rotating shaft 31, so that the limiting post 11 is located between the limiting plate 33 and the locking hook 34, until the limiting post 11 is hooked on the locking hook 34.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
