About Patia Vullisblik

Patia is 'n pedaalbeheerde vullisblik wat vir kombuisgebruik ontwerp is. Die vertikale strepe op die romp dien as versterkingsribbes. Die konvekse en konkawe patroon verhoog die sterkte en help om duike tydens vervoer te voorkom. Die romp is van koudgewalste staal vervaardig, met 'n laser gesny en op 'n deurlopende rollyn gevorm. Die deksel en die voetsteun word deur stempelmatryse gevorm. 'n Ligte trap op die pedaal maak die deksel stadig oop, waarna die deksel na sy geslote posisie terugkeer, sodat kontak met die binnekant van die blik vermy word. Patia meet 400 mm in breedte, 330 mm in diepte en 622 mm in hoogte.

Unique Properties
The core innovation of this product lies in the combination of structural reinforcing ribs and decorative stripes into one. Through precise mechanical calculation and structural design, and by using the convex and concave elements of the stripes on the barrel body, it serves as a reinforcing rib for the product, preventing it from deforming during transportation. At the same time, it enhances the aesthetic appeal of the product and distinguishes it from other products on the market.

Production Technology
The barrel body of the Patia product is made of 0.6mm cold-rolled steel plate, which is precisely cut by laser and formed into a striped structure in one go through a 16-station continuous rolling line. The depth of the convex ribs is 8mm±0.1mm, with a tolerance of, and is made by high-precision die stamping. The bucket lid and footrests are formed by stamping dies in one piece. Bottom
Design Challenge
The greatest challenge in the process of implementation and research is how to enhance the strength of the product barrel while maintaining its aesthetic appeal, ensuring safety and rationality, as well as integrating it into the home environment. Finally, through continuous refinement of the 3D model and sample verification, this striped trash can was designed.
Research
Market research has found that most similar products remain at the stage of undesigned smooth surface treatment, which is prone to deformation during transportation. Moreover, they are homogenized and lack a sense of design. We have innovatively adopted 0.8mm thickened cold-rolled steel plates. Through a precise rolling process, the stripes present a three-dimensional drop of 10mm, which not only enhances the compressive resistance but also improves the product's aesthetic appeal.
Inspiration
Traditional metal trash cans usually dent and deform due to impact during transportation. The load-bearing structure in buildings inspires us to transform functional reinforcing ribs into decorative stripes. Each concave and convex vertical pattern is not only the "skeleton" of the barrel, supporting the stability of the product, but also creating a sense of rhythm through the refraction of light and shadow.
Project Duration
The project started in Shenzhen in October 2024 and will be completed in Shenzhen in June 2025.
Operation Flow
Operating this type of trash can is very simple and intuitive. The user only needs to gently step on the trash can lid, and it will automatically slowly lower and open without the need for manual lifting. After putting away the garbage, the lid will automatically return to its original position. The entire process does not require touching the inside of the trash can, effectively preventing hand contamination and the spread of odors.
