Removable bucket handle connector

Abstract

A removable bucket handle connector is provided. [Solution] The solution includes a band 1, a fixing part 2, and a handle ring connecting part 3. The band is removably surrounded around the outer circumference of the matching bucket opening, the fixing part is provided on the outside of the band, and the handle ring connecting part is provided near the fixing part on the outside of the band. The band includes an inner wall 5 and an outer wall 4, and the tops of the inner wall and the outer wall meet and connect to form a top load-bearing part. The top load-bearing part is inserted into the gap between the burring of the bucket opening and the side wall of the bucket, and the fixing part is engaged with the bucket opening. By tightening the entire bucket opening with the band, the tensile force from the handle is distributed across the entire bucket opening, preventing the bucket opening from breaking or deforming due to the concentration of force at one point, and ensuring a perfect fit to a disposable plastic bucket.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of container parts, and particularly to a handle connection device for a removable bucket.

Background Art

[0002] In fields such as the chemical industry, paints, and daily-use consumables, a combined bucket body structure is usually adopted. A disposable plastic bucket is usually used as an inner container together with a reusable rigid outer bucket with a handle, and can be transported through the outer bucket. However, in such a form, the user has to carry two bucket bodies, the inner and the outer, at the same time. The outer bucket not only takes up space but is also prone to residue adhesion and difficult to clean, increasing the user's operation burden and usage cost.

[0003] In the prior art, in some bucket bodies, the strength is improved by adopting a thickened bucket mouth or an integrated handle structure, but the material cost and manufacturing difficulty increase significantly, which is not suitable for disposable thin-walled buckets. In addition, for simple shroud ring accessories, they can only reinforce the bucket mouth and do not have a dedicated handle connection structure, so the handle installation is inconvenient, uneven force occurs, and the versatility and practicality deteriorate.

[Figure 3] This is a bottom view of the present invention. [Figure 4] This is a front view of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0016] In this description, the directions or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "up," "down," and "inside" are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, or are the directions or positional relationships generally arranged when the product relating to the invention is used. These terms are merely used to facilitate or simplify the description of the invention and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must necessarily have a specific direction or be configured or operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they should not be understood as limitations on the invention. Unless otherwise clearly specified or limited, terms such as "attach" and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may be fixedly connected, detachably connected, integrally connected, directly connected, indirectly connected via an intermediate medium, or internally connected between two elements. Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention depending on the specific situation.

[0017] Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, all components used in the following embodiments are conventional components, and the corresponding connection methods can also be realized by conventional technical means; therefore, they will not be described further in this application. The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments for carrying out the invention. [Examples]

[0018] This embodiment provides a removable bucket handle connector, which includes an integrally molded band 1, a fixing portion 2, and a handle ring connector 3, as shown in Figures 1 to 4.

[0019] Specifically, Band 1 is detachably surrounded around the outer circumference of the matching bucket opening to enable repeated attachment and detachment to the bucket opening. On the outside of Band 1, there is a fixing part 2 for engaging and securing the entire device to the bucket opening, and a handle ring connection part 3 for attaching a handle ring for lifting and transport is provided near the fixing part 2 on the outside of Band 1.

[0020] The band 1 itself employs a two-layer wall structure design, specifically including an inner wall 5 and an outer wall 4. The tops of the inner wall 5 and the outer wall 4 merge and connect to form a top load-bearing section. When the band 1 is attached to the bucket opening, the top load-bearing section is inserted into the gap between the burring of the bucket opening and the side wall of the bucket. The band 1 and the burring of the bucket opening cooperate while bearing the load, thereby ensuring a secure connection between the device and the bucket opening.

[0021] Specifically, the fixing part 2 includes a connecting member 6 and a locking part 7. One end of the connecting member 6 is connected to the outer layer wall 4, and the other end of the connecting member 6 is connected to the locking part 7. After the band 1 is externally fitted to the outer periphery of the mouth of the bucket, the connecting member 6 is tilted upward. Due to the elastic deformation of the connecting member 6, the locking part 7 is engaged with an appropriate position on the upper edge of the bucket mouth and locked to the bucket mouth. Thereby, it is prevented that the band 1 slips out upward, and it is ensured that the device maintains a fixed state during use. When removal is necessary, the user can remove the entire device by operating the locking part 7 to disengage it from the bucket mouth, and it can be reused. In order to further optimize the structure of the connecting member 6, a concave groove 13 is provided at the bottom of one end of the connecting member 6 close to the outer layer wall 4. When the locking part 7 is locked under force, the concave groove 13 provides a certain deformation space for the connecting member 6, relieves stress concentration, and avoids fatigue fracture at the root of the connecting member 6 due to long-term use. A pressing piece 8 is provided at one end of the locking part 7 away from the connecting member 6, which makes it easier for the user to operate the opening and closing of the locking part 7. The pressing piece 8 is provided with an anti-slip pattern 9 to increase the frictional force during operation and prevent slipping.

[0022] The handle ring connection part 3 is provided with a mounting hole 10 for realizing hinge connection by fitting to the rotation axis of the handle ring.

[0023] To reinforce the structural strength of the band 1, a reinforcing rib 11 is provided between the inner layer wall 5 and the outer layer wall 4. And a position-limiting protruding ring 12 is provided on one side of the outer layer wall 4 away from the inner layer wall 5. The position-limiting protruding ring 12 is used to prevent excessive insertion or accidental extraction of the device by forming an auxiliary position limit together with the outside of the bucket mouth in the mounted state.

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in the specification, but these embodiments are merely examples and do not limit the protection scope of the present invention. All kinds of omissions, substitutions and changes made without departing from the spirit of the present invention are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
