CONSTRUCTIVE ARRANGEMENT PROVIDED IN TRASH CAN

Description

5 CONSTRUCTIVE ARRANGEMENT PROVIDED IN TRASH CAN TECHNICAL FIELD

[01] The following descriptive report for a utility model refers to the development of a smart waste bin comprising various internal and external devices and sensors, capable of enabling the equipment to perform various operations autonomously, including waste compaction, environmental control, real-time communication, and artificial intelligence for generating reports. STATE OF THE ART

[02] Smart trash cans are devices designed to make waste disposal more efficient and hygienic, using advanced technologies. There are different types of smart trash cans, but they all share some common characteristics: Many smart trash cans have sensors that detect the presence of a person or object nearby and open the lid automatically, eliminating the need for manual contact. This helps prevent the spread of germs and bacteria. Some smart trash cans are equipped with sensors that monitor the trash level and notify users when they are full, making waste management easier. Many models include systems to control odors, keeping the environment more pleasant; and - In addition to facilitating waste disposal, these bins can be part of a larger system of automation and sustainability, helping to reduce environmental impact.

[03] These technologies make the waste disposal process more practical, hygienic and efficient, both in domestic and Petition 870250053114, dated 06 / 25 / 2025, page 4 / 12 / 5 in public places.

[04] An example of a smart trash can is revealed in BR202020024538-0, which consists of a waste bin designed to reduce the need for garbage bags for waste disposal, improve their utilization, and thus ensure greater efficiency of available waste bins for post-consumer waste disposal. The ready-to-use equipment includes an ergonomic pull handle, which can be rod-shaped or U-shaped, and functions to open the manual lid, which has an automatic lock during waste compaction, in addition to having a liquid container positioned on top.

[05] Also known is document BR102019002949-8 which discloses a waste bin that organizes and compacts various types of waste, according to their composition, physical characteristics and destination. It is a waste bin with a compaction system that contains multiple containers to separately receive waste to be compacted, such as paper, metal, glass, plastic, organic waste and non-recyclable waste. PROBLEMS OF THE TECHNIQUE

[06] Although smart trash cans offer many advantages, they can also present some problems, such as the failure of motion or capacity sensors, resulting in lids that do not open or close correctly, or in incorrect notifications about the trash level.

[07] Maintaining these trash cans can be more complex and expensive than traditional trash cans, especially if electronic components need to be repaired or replaced.

[08] In areas with weak internet signal, smart trash cans may have difficulty sending data about their capacity or status, compromising the efficiency of the system.

[09] Many smart trash cans depend on electricity or Petition 870250053114, dated 06 / 25 / 2025, page 5 / 12 / 5 batteries, which can be a problem in case of power outages or if the batteries are not replaced regularly. PROPOSED SOLUTION

[10] Thus, due to the considerations relevant to the technical problems previously discussed, one of the objectives of the constructive arrangement provided in the trash can is to solve the problems previously mentioned.

[11] The smart trash can is equipped with proximity sensors that detect the presence of trash and activate the trash can's automatic opening system.

[12] It is equipped with computer vision algorithms that process the captured images to identify waste and monitor public health conditions. To this end, it is equipped with high-resolution cameras that capture images of discarded waste for processing.

[13] It uses machine learning to analyze data and generate reports on zoonoses and public health.

[14] It is equipped with an internal compactor for the stored waste, capable of reducing the volume of waste to save space. This compacted waste is stored in an internal bin. This bin is watertight to prevent liquids from leaking from the waste.

[15] It uses Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to inform you when the trash can is full and needs maintenance.

[16] It features lighting and sound control, which provides an interactive user experience, with control over color, intensity, time, volume and sound storage.

[17] It also includes environmental sensors that detect air quality, the amount of methane and butane gas, carbon dioxide (CO2), measure temperature, air humidity and ammonia (NH3) content.

[18] To avoid problems of depending on electricity Petition 870250053114, dated 06 / 25 / 2025, page 6 / 12 / 5 or batteries, the trash can uses solar energy to charge batteries and electrical energy. DESCRIPTION

[19] The characterization of the present utility model is made by means of representative drawings of the constructive arrangement provided in a waste bin, in such a way that the product can be fully reproduced by appropriate technique, allowing full characterization of the functionality of the object claimed.

[20] Based on the elaborated figures that express the preferred way of carrying out the product now conceived, the descriptive part of the report is based, through a detailed and consecutive numbering, where it clarifies aspects that may be implied by the representation adopted, in order to clearly determine the protection now intended.

[21] These figures are merely illustrative and may present variations, provided they do not deviate from what was initially requested.

[22] In this case, we have to: Figure 01 shows a perspective view of the trash can and its presentation to the user; Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the trash can without the front part, allowing a view of the internal mechanism, and a detail of the onboard equipment; and Figure 03 shows the front view of the trash can, the side view, and section AA.

[23] The proposed waste bin comprises an outer casing (1), supported on a base (2), containing reinforcing corner pieces (3) bearing LED strips (3a), a translucent top cover (4), preferably made of polycarbonate, and a photovoltaic panel (5) located below the cover. Petition 870250053114, dated 06 / 25 / 2025, page 7 / 12 / 5 translucent (4), LED side panel (6), one or more speakers (7), the photovoltaic controller (8), the central module (9) and proximity sensor (10).

[24] The trash can has openings (11 and 12) for the passage of trash, which is conveyed to an inner basket (13), which cooperates with the trash compactor (14) operated by means of a motor.

[25] Smart trash cans offer several advantages compared to regular trash cans: - Hygiene: Equipped with motion sensors, the proposed smart trash can opens and closes automatically, avoiding direct contact and reducing the spread of germs and bacteria; - Efficiency in Waste Management: Capacity sensors monitor the level of waste and notify when the bin is full, facilitating collection and preventing overflows; - Sustainability: The smart trash can is designed to automatically separate recyclable from non-recyclable waste, promoting recycling and sustainability. - Convenience: Automation makes the waste disposal process more practical, especially in public places or environments with a high flow of people. - Integration with Smart Home Systems: In home environments, the smart trash can can be integrated with home automation systems, allowing for remote control and monitoring.

[26] These advantages make the smart waste bin an attractive option for improving waste management and hygiene in a variety of environments. Petition 870250053114, dated 06 / 25 / 2025, page 8 / 12
