Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of garbage classification, and more specifically, to a smart garbage can. Background Art

[0002] Garbage sorting and recycling is currently a way to solve the high cost of garbage disposal and environmental pollution. Many cities have begun to launch garbage sorting and recycling plans. Residents need to sort various types of garbage by themselves and then send them to the processing station for collection. Therefore, a trash can that can hold various types of garbage is needed.

[0003] When using the existing classified trash cans, when garbage is thrown in, it is easy for the garbage to tear off the garbage bag, causing the garbage to overflow in the trash can. Long-term use will cause dirt to appear in the trash can, and the garbage bag needs to be reused to pack the garbage in the trash can, causing pollution to the environment. When any trash can is full, it is necessary to open the entire garbage cover, take out the trash can and put it back in. Since the trash can is full of garbage and has a certain weight, it is easy for the garbage to be exposed to the ground due to insufficient force when lifting the trash can, which is very inconvenient to use.
