At this time, through manual operation of the toggle rod 41, the locking member 4 is moved out from the support 3 and then snap-fitted with the bin shoulder 11, thereby locking the movement of the support 3 and keeping the cover 2 open. The toggle rod 41 can only move within the range of the spacing hole 32, thus the moving range of the locking member 4 is also limited. The toggle rod 41 protrudes from the front side of the support 3 to facilitate the user to directly open the cover. A hinge component 21 is arranged at the end of the cover 2 connected to the bin body 1, and one side of the hinge component 21 extends to the bin shoulder 11 and is hinged therewith. Meanwhile, both sides of the upper end of the support 3 are hinged with the hinge component 21, so that when the support 3 is jacked by the cover prop mechanism, the cover 2 can be driven to rotate and open taking the hinge point between the hinge component 21 and the bin shoulder 11 as the center of a circle.

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 2-4, the locking member 4 is a batten-shaped lock tongue, the back surface of the support 3 is horizontally provided with a spacing groove 31 for correspondingly limiting the horizontal movement of the locking member 4, a lock opening 33 for receiving the locking member 4 is arranged at the edge of the support 3 at one side of the spacing groove 31, and the spacing hole 32 corresponds to the bottom surface of the spacing groove 31. The toggle rod 41 is a vertically extending rod corresponding to the spacing hole 32 in height. Upper and lower inner walls of the spacing groove 31 limit the locking member 4 to only horizontally go in or out of the lock opening 33, i.e. only limit the one-way movement of the locking member 4. The toggle rod 41 can only move horizontally within the range of the left and right width of the spacing hole 32, i.e. limit the movement amplitude of the locking member 4. The inner walls of the upper side and the lower side of the spacing groove 31 can be respectively or simultaneously set into a right angle shape, or the spacing groove 31 is additionally provided with a spacing component to prevent the locking member 4 from escaping from the opening of the spacing groove 31. Since the toggle rod 41 is forwards convex, preferably, the locking member 4 can only be put in from the opening of the spacing groove 31 and then mounted. The toggle rod 41 is positioned on the front side surface of the support 3 facing the user, to facilitate the visual inspection of user when the cover 2 is opened, and is simply and directly toggled leftwards and rightwards to perform the operation of locking or unlocking. The locking member 4 can be designed into other structures, for example, the locking member 4 can be designed into rotatably hooking the bin shoulder 11 through a hook-shaped part, and the locking member 4 can be horizontally or vertically rotated. In the same way, the bin shoulder 11 can also be replaced by other components to be snap-fitted.

[0022] Referring to FIG. 4, the inner walls of the upper side and the lower side of the spacing groove 31 are provided with an individual elastic inverted buckle 34, respectively, and an edge surface inclining inward obliquely towards the middle of the spacing groove 31 is arranged at the end of the inverted buckle 34. The locking member 4 is pressed on the inclined edge surface of the inverted buckle 34 in parallel when the locking member 4 is mounted, and the inverted buckle 34 is driven to elastically deform by the action of the edge surface when the locking member 4 is forcefully pressed and then is spread to the two sides, so that the locking member 4 is buckled in the spacing groove 31. Preferably, the inverted buckles 34 are positioned on the upper side and the lower side in the middle of the spacing groove 31, i.e. the upper side and the lower side of the spacing hole 32.

[0023] Referring to FIG. 4, a positioning part 42 is convexly arranged at one side of the locking member 4 facing the bottom surface of the spacing groove 31, a recessed part 35 corresponding to the positioning part 42 for limiting is arranged on the bottom surface of the spacing groove 31, the recessed part 35 is provided with at least two recessed positions matching the positioning part 42, and the bottom surface of the recessed part 35 between the recessed positions is slanted downwards in the direction of the lock opening 33 correspondingly, thereby keeping the locking member 4 naturally fixed to the locking position; the at least two recessed positions are respectively used as a locking position and an unlocking position of the locking member 4 in the spacing groove 31. Preferably, the positioning part 42 is designed into a convex strip of a semi-circle shape, an arc shape or other shapes, and preferably, the recessed positions are also correspondingly designed into a semi-circle shape, an arc shape or other shapes. When the locking member 4 moves, the positioning part 42 moves out of one recessed position of the recessed part 35 into the other due to the instantaneous elastic deformation at the position where the positioning part 42 is located.

[0024] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the bin body 1 is further provided with a descent control device 5 positioned below the support 3, the descent control device 5 is provided with a strut 51 abutting against the support 3 at the top, and the lower end of the support 3 is provided with a plate abutting against the strut. The strut 51 of the descent control device 5 is provided with buffer rubbers at the end and the rod body, respectively, to strengthen the decline buffer of the cover 2, and a horizontally extending convex edge abutting against the buffer rubber is also arranged at the bottom of the abutting plate 36.

[0025] The abutting plate 36 is convexly provided with an inserting plate 361 and an inverted hook 362, the lower part of the support 3 is provided with an inserting groove 37 for corresponding insertion of the inserting plate 361 and the inverted hook 362, and a wall at one side of the inserting groove 37 is provided with an opening 371 for snap-fitted with the inverted hook 362. The convex edge of the abutting plate 36 can be used as a sealing edge for clamping the inserting groove 37.

[0026] The support 3 is connected with a connecting rod 6 of a cover prop mechanism, the top end of the connecting rod 6 is inserted in the inserting groove 37 in a matching manner, and the connecting rod 6 is tightly clamped by the abutting plate 36 and the inner wall of the inserting groove 37 together.

[0027] The top end of the connecting rod 6 is in a corresponding n-shape or L-shape and extends along the edge of the inserting plate 361 in a matching manner and is fitted with the inner wall of the inserting groove 37. Preferably, the connecting rod 6 is a single rod which is bent into a double rod structure at the top end thereof, thereby being fixedly connected by the support 3 and the abutting plate 36 through the top end, and having a compact structure and good integrated availability. The connecting rod 6 can also be set into one or two rods for connecting simultaneously. By pressing the pedal 12, the cover prop mechanism can be triggered to be rotatably hinged with the pedal at the bottom of the bin body 1 to move the connecting rod 6 upwards.
