Abstract
A foot operation container includes a garbage bin having a bin lid, a foot-operable pedal mounted to the garbage bin, a pedal guide arrangement mounted to the garbage bin for enabling downward and upward movement of the foot-operable pedal, and a driving arrangement connected to the bin lid and the bin lid, wherein when the foot-operable pedal is pressed by a foot of a user, the foot-operable pedal moves downward under a guidance of the pedal guide arrangement to drive the pulling thread to lift up the bin lid. A pedal cushion arrangement is also provided to provide a cushion effect to avoid the production noise when the foot-operable pedal is released from the foot of the user.
Claims7
A foot operation container, comprising:
- a garbage bin comprising a bin lid;
- a foot-operable pedal mounted to said garbage bin;
- a pedal guide arrangement mounted to said garbage bin for enabling downward and upward movement of said foot-operable pedal;
- and
- a driving arrangement comprising a pulling thread having a first end connected to said bin lid and a second end connected to said foot-operable pedal, wherein when said foot-operable pedal is pressed by a foot of a user, said foot-operable pedal moves downward under a guidance of said pedal guide arrangement to drive said pulling thread to lift up said bin lid, wherein said driving arrangement further comprises an adjusting arrangement for adjusting an effective length of said pulling thread, so that accurate sealing position of said bin lid is ensured, wherein said pulling thread comprises a first thread section and a second thread section, wherein said adjusting arrangement comprises a connecting element, a first mounting screw, and a second mounting screw, wherein said first thread section and said second thread section are respectively connected to said connecting element via said first mounting screw and said second mounting screw, wherein said effective length of said pulling thread is adjusted by operating on said first mounting screw and said second mounting screw.
A foot operation container, comprising:
- a garbage bin comprising a bin lid;
- a foot-operable pedal mounted to said garbage bin;
- a pedal guide arrangement mounted to said garbage bin for enabling downward and upward movement of said foot-operable pedal;
- a driving arrangement comprising a pulling thread having a first end connected to said bin lid and a second end connected to said foot-operable pedal, wherein when said foot-operable pedal is pressed by a foot of a user, said foot-operable pedal moves downward under a guidance of said pedal guide arrangement to drive said pulling thread to lift up said bin lid;
- and
- a pedal cushion arrangement, wherein said pedal cushion arrangement comprises a crank connecting rod connected to said foot-operable pedal, a reduction gear box connected to said crank connecting rod, and a main motor coupled with said reduction gear box in such a manner that a cushion effect is provided to said foot-operable pedal via said crank connecting rod when said foot-operable pedal is released from the foot of the user, wherein said driving arrangement further comprises a thread sleeve for receiving said pulling thread, wherein said pulling thread is prevented from having frictional contact with said garbage bin, and an adjusting arrangement for adjusting an effective length of said pulling thread, so that accurate sealing position of said bin lid is ensured, wherein said pulling thread comprises a first thread section and a second thread section, wherein said adjusting arrangement comprises a connecting element, a first mounting screw, and a second mounting screw, wherein said first thread section and said second thread section are respectively connected to said connecting element via said first mounting screw and said second mounting screw, wherein said effective length of said pulling thread is adjusted by operating on said first mounting screw and said second mounting screw.
