Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely illustrative and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Furthermore, in actual production, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width, and depth should be included.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Reference Figure 1-4 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a self-sealing intelligent trash can for collecting biological waste, the device comprising:

[0032] The garbage collection mechanism 100 includes a main frame 110, a garbage bin 120 placed inside the main frame 110, a plurality of four-way pulleys 130 provided at the bottom of the main frame 110 for easy movement, a top box 140 fixedly mounted on the top of the main frame 110, a garbage inlet 150 provided on the surface of the top box 140, and a handle 160 fixedly mounted on one side of the garbage inlet 150;

[0033] The sealing mechanism 200 includes a sealing member 210 for automatically sealing the garbage inlet 150 and a sealing member 220 for cutting the garbage bag sealing box.

[0034] Among them, the sealing component 210 is used to automatically seal the garbage inlet 150 to prevent odor leakage, which solves the problem that the opening of the traditional garbage can 120 is generally open and the odor of garbage is easy to leak from the opening, and achieves the effect of automatic sealing to avoid odor leakage affecting the air quality; the sealing component 220 is used to automatically seal and cut the garbage bag 222 to prevent the odor inside the garbage bag 222 from leaking out, and facilitates the replacement of the garbage bag 222.

[0035] Specifically, the sealing component 210 includes a mounting groove 211 opened inside the top box 140 and connected to the garbage inlet 150, a sealing plate 212 slidably installed inside the mounting groove 211 and used to seal the garbage inlet 150, a transmission plate 213 fixedly installed on one side of the sealing plate 212, a threaded sleeve 214 fixedly installed on one end of the transmission plate 213, a motor 215 arranged on the surface of the top box 140, and a bidirectional screw rod 216 fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 215 and used in conjunction with the threaded sleeve 214.

[0036] Furthermore, a positioning rod 217 for limiting the movement of the transmission plate 213 is fixedly installed inside the installation groove 211 , and a positioning hole is opened on the surface of the transmission plate 213 to cooperate with the positioning rod 217 to pass through.

[0037] Among them, the cooperation between the positioning rod 217 and the positioning hole is used to limit the movement of the transmission plate 213, which can further improve the movement limit of the sealing plate 212 and improve the sealing effect of the sealing plate 212 on the garbage inlet 150.

[0038] Preferably, a dustproof box is fixedly mounted on the surface of the top box 140 , the motor 215 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the dustproof box, and the bidirectional screw rod 216 is located inside the dustproof box.

[0039] Among them, the dustproof box is used to prevent dust from falling into the thread groove on the surface of the bidirectional screw rod 216, affecting the smoothness of the bidirectional screw rod 216 driving the threaded sleeve 214 to move, and preventing the threaded sleeve 214 from getting stuck and causing the garbage inlet 150 to be unable to be sealed.

[0040] Furthermore, an infrared transmitter 218 and an infrared receiver 219 are fixedly mounted on opposite inner walls of the trash can 120, and the infrared transmitter 218 and the infrared receiver 219 are located on the same horizontal plane.

[0041] Among them, the cooperation between the infrared transmitter 218 and the infrared receiver 219 is used to detect the height of the garbage. When the height of the garbage exceeds the horizontal plane of the infrared transmitter 218 and the infrared receiver 219, the garbage blocks the infrared rays generated by the infrared transmitter 218, so that the infrared receiver 219 cannot receive the emitted infrared rays. The infrared receiver 219 then transmits the signal to the control box 170, so that the control box 170 controls the motor 215 to start automatically sealing the garbage inlet 150, thereby achieving an intelligent effect.

[0042] Furthermore, a control box 170 is fixedly mounted on the main frame 110 , an output end of the infrared receiver 219 is electrically connected to an input end of the control box 170 , and an output end of the control box 170 is electrically connected to an input end of the motor 215 .

[0043] During use, the infrared transmitter 218 and the infrared receiver 219 cooperate to detect the height of the garbage. When the height of the garbage exceeds the horizontal plane between the infrared transmitter 218 and the infrared receiver 219, the garbage blocks the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transmitter 218, so that the infrared receiver 219 cannot receive the emitted infrared rays. The infrared receiver 219 then transmits a signal to the control box 170, so that the control box 170 controls the motor 215 to start.

[0044] The motor 215 drives the bidirectional screw rod 216 to rotate, and then the bidirectional screw rod 216 drives the two threaded sleeves 214 to move toward each other, the threaded sleeve 214 drives the transmission plate 213 to move, and the transmission plate 213 drives the two moving plates 2121 to move, so that the two moving plates 2121 seal the garbage inlet 150.

[0045] In summary, the sealing component 210 is used to automatically seal the garbage inlet 150 to prevent odor leakage, which solves the problem that the opening of the traditional trash can 120 is generally open and the odor of garbage can easily leak from the opening, and achieves the effect of automatic sealing to avoid odor leakage from affecting the air quality.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that: the sealing plate 212 includes two movable plates 2121 slidably installed inside the installation groove 211 and used to seal the garbage inlet 150, and a sealing strip 2122 and a sealing groove 2123 respectively arranged on one side relatively close to the movable plate 2121 and used in conjunction with each other.

[0048] Specifically, the sealing groove 2123 is opened on one side of the movable plate 2121 , and the sealing strip 2122 is fixedly installed on one side of the movable plate 2121 . The size of the sealing strip 2122 is adapted to the size of the sealing groove 2123 .

[0049] During use, the sealing strip 2122 and the sealing groove 2123 cooperate to improve the sealing performance of the two movable plates 2121 when they are closed, thereby preventing odor from leaking out of the garbage bag 222 and affecting the air quality.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that: the sealing component 220 includes a connecting box body 221 fixedly installed between the main frame 110 and the top box 140, a garbage bag 222 arranged inside the connecting box body 221, two thermocouple modules 223 arranged inside the connecting box body 221 and used for sealing and cutting the garbage bag 222, and two transmission rollers 224 rotatably installed inside the connecting box body 221 and used for rolling the garbage bag 222.

[0052] Among them, the thermocouple module 223 is used to heat and seal the garbage bag 222, seal the garbage inside the garbage bag 222, and prevent odor from leaking out. At the same time, the temperature of the thermocouple module 223 can be controlled to seal the garbage bag 222 and then cut, which can be used for cylindrical continuous garbage bags 222.

[0053] Specifically, the opening of the garbage bag 222 is pressed between the top box 140 and the garbage bag 222 , and the bottom of the garbage bag 222 is located inside the garbage bin 120 .

[0054] During use, the thermocouple module 223 is used to realize the sealing and cutting functions of the garbage bag 222. By precisely controlling the input voltage of the thermocouple module 223, the heating temperature can be flexibly adjusted to meet different operational requirements: when the garbage bag 222 needs to be sealed, the voltage of the thermocouple module 223 is adjusted to a suitable sealing temperature range, and then the thermocouple module 223 is clamped on both sides of the garbage bag to achieve reliable sealing by heat conduction; when the garbage bag 222 needs to be cut off, the voltage of the thermocouple module 223 is further increased so that its temperature reaches the melting threshold of the garbage bag 222, and the cutting operation is completed by high-temperature melting. The whole process is efficient and highly automated.

For example, an element shown as integrally formed may be composed of multiple parts or elements, the position of the element may be inverted or otherwise changed, and the nature or number or position of the discrete elements may be altered or changed. Therefore, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
