If first and second, etc. are referred to, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features, and shall not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implying the number of the indicated technical features or implying the sequence of the indicated technical features.

[0029] In the description of the present disclosure, unless otherwise explicitly defined, the words such as set, install, and connect should be understood in a broad sense, and those skilled in the art can determine the specific meanings of the above words in the present disclosure in a rational way in combination with the specific contents of the technical solutions.

[0030] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a cover device according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure comprises: a cover 110 provided with a feeding port 111; and an opening/closing assembly arranged at the feeding port 111, wherein the opening/closing assembly comprises a partition plate 210, a first magnet 221, and a second magnet 222, the partition plate 210 is configured to close the feeding port 111, one end of the partition plate 210 is hinged to the cover 110, the first magnet 221 is arranged at the end of the partition plate 210 hinged to the cover 110, the second magnet 222 is arranged on the cover 110, and the first magnet 221 and the second magnet 222 attract each other.

[0031] When an object is placed through the feeding port, the object contacts the partition plate 210 and drives the partition plate 210 to rotate, such that the first magnet 221 moves away from the second magnet 222 to open the feeding port 111, and the object passes through the feeding port 111 into the container. After the object passes through the feeding port 111, the first magnet 221 is attracted by the second magnet 222 through a magnetic force, such that the partition plate 210 is reset and the feeding port 111 is closed again, thereby preventing odor diffusion and realizing automatic opening and closing of the feeding port 111, which is convenient and fast. It should be noted that, one or more partition plates 210 may be provided, and in this embodiment, two partition plates 210 are provided.

[0032] It may be understood that, referring to FIG. 2, the cover 110 is provided with a third magnet 130, the third magnet 130 and the first magnet 221 repulse each other, and the first magnet 221 is arranged between the third magnet 130 and the second magnet 222 along a rotating direction of the first magnet 221. When the partition plate 210 is rotated to open the feeding port 111, the first magnet 221 moves away from the second magnet 222 and gradually approaches the third magnet 130, and the repulsive force between the first magnet 221 and the third magnet 130 is gradually increased. After the object passes through the feeding port 111, the first magnet 221 approaches the second magnet 222 under the repulsive force of the third magnet 130, and meanwhile, the attractive force between the first magnet 221 and the second magnet 222 is increased, such that the first magnet 221 rapidly approaches the second magnet 222, and the partition plate 210 is accelerated to reset to close the feeding port 111, and meanwhile, the stability of the partition plate 210 is enhanced, such that the partition plate 210 can be stably reset to automatically close the feeding port 111.

[0033] It may be understood that, referring to FIG. 4, the cover 110 is provided with a connecting member 120, the connecting member 120 is provided with two first connecting portions 122, the partition plate 210 is provided with a second connecting portion 211, the second connecting portion 211 is arranged between the two first connecting portions 122, and the second connecting portion 211 is rotatably connected to the two first connecting portions 122. The first connecting portions 122 are rotatably connected to the second connecting portion 211, such that the partition plate 210 can be rotated around the hinge point.

[0034] It may be understood that, referring to FIG. 4, in the first implementation, the connecting member 120 is provided with a first rotating shaft 123, and the first rotating shaft 123 passes through the second connecting portion 211 and the two first connecting portions 122, such that the partition plate 210 can be rotated around the first rotating shaft 123, which is stable and reliable.

[0035] It may be understood that, in the second implementation, the first connecting portion 122 is formed with a protruding block (not shown in the figures), the second connecting portion 211 is formed with a plug hole (not shown in the figures), and the protruding block is in plug-in engagement with the plug hole. The protruding block has a cylindrical shape or a tapered shape as a whole, and the plug hole is adapted to the protruding block. The protruding block is in plug-in engagement with the plug hole, such that the partition plate 210 can be rotated around an axis of the plug hole. In addition, the partition plate 210 can be separated from the connecting member 120 by pulling the protruding block out of the plug hole, which is convenient and fast.

[0036] It may be understood that, referring to FIG. 5, in the third implementation, the second connecting portion 211 is formed with an elongated hole 212, and the connecting member 120 is provided with a second rotating shaft 124, the second rotating shaft 124 passes through the second connecting portion 211 and the two first connecting portions 122, and the second rotating shaft 124 passes through the elongated hole 212. By providing the elongated hole 212, the second rotating shaft 124 can pass through the elongated hole 212, such that the partition plate 210 can be translated along the elongated hole 212 when the partition plate 210 is rotated around the second rotating shaft 124, which results in a smoother rotation of the partition plate 210.

[0037] It may be understood that, referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, the connecting member 120 is provided with a third connecting portion 121, the third connecting portion 121 is provided with a connecting screw, and the connecting screw passes through the third connecting portion 121 and is in threaded connection with the cover 110. The connecting member 120 is mounted on the cover 110 with the connecting screw, such that the connecting member 120 is convenient to be dismounted during maintenance.

[0038] It may be understood that, referring to FIG. 2, the first magnet 221 and the second magnet 222 are arranged at an interval, so as to avoid the first magnet 221 and the second magnet 222 from being attached to each other, and prevent the partition plate 210 from failing to be rotated due to excessive attractive force between the first magnet 221 and the second magnet 222.

[0039] It may be understood that, referring to FIG. 4, the partition plate 210 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs to enhance the structural strength of the partition plate 210 and increase the service life of the partition plate 210.

[0040] A container according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure comprises the cover device according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure, and the cover device may be mounted to the container by means of magnetic attraction or by means of snap-fitting. When an object is placed through the feeding port, the object contacts the partition plate 210 and drives the partition plate 210 to rotate, such that the first magnet 221 moves away from the second magnet 222 to open the feeding port 111, and the object passes through the feeding port 111 into the container. After the object passes through the feeding port 111, the first magnet 221 is attracted by the second magnet 222 through a magnetic force, such that the partition plate 210 is reset and the feeding port 111 is closed again, thereby preventing odor diffusion and realizing automatic opening and closing of the feeding port 111, which has no influence on placing the object into the container, prevents odors from escaping from the container as well, and is convenient and practical.

[0041] The embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, however, the present disclosure is not limited to the foregoing embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the gist of the present disclosure.
