DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, a smart trash can capable of automatic disinfection is provided, the smart trash can comprising a movable trash can body 1 and a wall-mounted fixed cover body 2, the cover body 2 is sealedly matched with the top of the trash can body 1, and a sensing device 3 is embedded and installed on one side of the cover body 2;

[0042] At least one accommodating cavity is provided in the barrel body 1 for placing garbage; at least one automatically flip-over cover 5 is embedded in the top of the cover body 2, and the flip cover 5 corresponds to the accommodating cavity one by one, and cooperates with the sensing device 3 to perform contactless automatic opening and closing of the smart trash can.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the specific form of the sensing device 3 is not limited. For example, it can be an infrared sensing device, that is, it uses infrared to sense the distance between the human body or garbage and the overall intelligent trash can. When the distance is less than the set threshold, the overall intelligent trash can is automatically opened in cooperation with the flip cover 5. For example, it can be a graphic code such as a QR code or a bar code. When used, the graphic code is scanned by a mobile electronic device such as a mobile phone, and the automatic opening of the flip cover 5 is controlled by a mobile electronic device such as a mobile phone after scanning. In summary, based on the cooperation of the sensing device 3, the contactless opening of the overall intelligent trash can is effectively realized, ensuring the hygiene of use to avoid manual opening and contact with bacteria.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of accommodating chambers provided in the barrel body 1 is not limited. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the figure, it is indicated that three accommodating chambers are provided, and the three accommodating chambers may correspond to a recyclable garbage accommodating chamber, a non-recyclable garbage accommodating chamber, and a hazardous garbage accommodating chamber, respectively; in contrast, three flip covers 5 may be provided, and the three flip covers 5 are respectively matched with the three accommodating chambers to realize the independent activation of each accommodating chamber. Based on this, the above-mentioned sensing device 3 may preferably be a graphic code. After scanning the graphic code through a mobile electronic device such as a mobile phone, the accommodating chamber to be opened can be selected based on the mobile electronic device such as the mobile phone, thereby opening one of the accommodating chambers accordingly.

[0045] Furthermore, when the overall intelligent trash can is provided with a plurality of accommodating cavities and a plurality of flaps 5, one flap 5 can be opened only after another flap 5 is closed, thereby ensuring that only one accommodating cavity of the overall intelligent trash can can be opened at a time, so as to better perform garbage classification.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the form of the accommodating cavity provided in the barrel body 1 is not limited. For example, the barrel body 1 with an inner partition provided for the cover body 2, and the accommodating cavity is formed between adjacent inner partitions in the barrel body 1. For example, a plurality of existing open-top trash cans may be placed in a placement frame, and each existing open-top trash can constitutes an accommodating cavity.

[0047] With respect to the above structure, in this embodiment:

[0048] For further information, see Figure 2 As shown, the cross section of the cover body 2 is an inverted U-shaped structure, and the top of the barrel body 1 is sealed in the U-shaped groove of the cover body 2; one side outer wall of the cover body 2 is used for wall-mounted fixing, and the other side of the cover body 2 is provided with a movable mechanism, which is used to open the cover body 2, and when the cover body 2 is opened, the barrel body 1 can be taken out of the cover body 2;

[0049] Specifically, when using the integrated intelligent trash can, the first step to be performed is to install the cover 2. When installing the cover 2, one side of the cover 2 is fixed to the vertical installation surface at a specified position, wherein the installation surface can be a vertical wall, guardrail, etc., and the installation method can be fixed by bolts. It can be seen that the cover 2 is fixedly installed, so after the cover 2 is installed, the cover 2 can be directly connected to the mains to provide power for driving the integrated intelligent trash can.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, the movable mechanism can be arranged on the adjacent side of the mounting surface of the cover body 2, or on the opposite side of the mounting surface of the cover body 2. For the specific structural form of the movable mechanism, please refer to Figure 5 As shown, the movable mechanism includes an electric cylinder 17 fixed to the bottom of the cover body 2, and a mounting plate 19 is fixed to the bottom of the electric cylinder 17, an outer baffle 4 is fixed on the outer wall of one side of the mounting plate 19, and the outer baffle 4 is slidably connected to the cover body 2, and the sensing device 3 is embedded in the outer wall of the outer baffle 4.

[0051] Specifically, after completing the installation of the cover body 2, the installation of the barrel body 1 should be performed; universal wheels 101 are installed at the bottom of the barrel body 1, and there are four universal wheels 101 in total, and the four universal wheels 101 are respectively located at the four corners of the bottom of the barrel body 1; a handle 102 is installed on one side of the barrel body 1, and the handle 102 is located below the cover body 2.

[0052] Based on the above disclosed structure, it can be known that the steps for installing the barrel body 1 are as follows: Figure 8As shown, by the cooperation of the handle 102 and the universal wheel 101, the barrel body 1 is pushed to move toward the position of the cover body 2, and at this time, based on the retraction drive of the electric cylinder 17, the mounting plate 19 and the outer baffle plate 4 are driven to move upward, thereby ensuring that the barrel body 1 can be smoothly moved to the interior of the cover body 2, realizing the moving-in process of the barrel body 1, until the barrel body 1 is completely placed in the cover body 2, the electric cylinder 17 is started to drive the mounting plate 19 and the outer baffle plate 4 to move downward, so that the top of the barrel body 1 can be completely sealed and confined in the cover body 2, realizing the sealing cooperation between the barrel body 1 and the cover body 2. In this state, the overall intelligent trash can can only be opened and closed by rotating the flip cover 5.

[0053] For further information, see Figure 6 As shown, regarding the specific structure of the sealing cover plate 51, a through hole is opened on the top of the cover body 2, and the flip cover 5 includes a sealing cover plate 51 rotatably installed in the through hole through a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is close to one end of the sealing cover plate 51, and a counterweight plate 52 is fixed to the installation end of the sealing cover plate 51, and the counterweight plate 52 is located below the sealing cover plate 51.

[0054] For further information, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an ultraviolet disinfection device 16, a first touch switch 7 and a controller 18 are installed in the cover body 2, and the first touch switch 7 is located above the counterweight plate 52 and cooperates with the counterweight plate 52; when the counterweight plate 52 squeezes the first touch switch 7, the flip cover 5 is horizontally closed and the ultraviolet disinfection device 16 is turned on; when the counterweight plate 52 is separated from the first touch switch 7, the flip cover 5 is tilted and opened, and the ultraviolet disinfection device 16 is turned off.

[0055] Among them, the controller 18 is preferably a PLC controller, and all electrical components in the overall smart trash can are controlled based on the controller 18.

[0056] In this embodiment, preferably, please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, two guide blocks are symmetrically installed inside the cover body 2, namely, a first guide block 12 and a second guide block 20. The first guide block 12 and the second guide block 20 are both provided with a first inclined surface facing the accommodating cavity. The ultraviolet disinfection device 16 is embedded in the first inclined surface, and the ultraviolet disinfection device 16 uses an ultraviolet disinfection lamp. For details, please refer to Figure 7 As shown, under the setting of the first inclined surface, the ultraviolet disinfection device 16 is installed at an angle, and the corresponding ultraviolet rays emitted are emitted obliquely (such as Figure 7 In the direction indicated by the middle arrow), it is ensured that the ultraviolet disinfection device 16 can accurately sterilize the accommodating cavity of the barrel body 1.

[0057] In summary, the structure for driving the flip cover 5 to automatically flip over includes the following two implementations:

[0058] First embodiment

[0059] In this implementation, please continue to refer to Fig. 9 As shown, the structure for driving the flip cover 5 to automatically flip includes a hub motor, and the hub motor is installed on a rotating shaft connected to the flip cover 5, and is used to drive the flip cover 5 to automatically flip.

[0060] Specifically, the driving principle of this embodiment is: based on the limitation of the counterweight plate 52, the sealing cover plate 51 and the counterweight plate 52 are balanced with the rotating shaft as the center of gravity, that is, without any driving force, the entire flip cover 5 is kept in a horizontal state, and the entire smart trash can can be closed accordingly; and under the drive of the hub motor, the flip cover 5 can be turned over to achieve Fig. 9 Based on the counterweight balance, the wheel hub motor can be effectively placed in a minimum load state during reciprocating drive, thereby reducing the driving energy consumption of the wheel hub motor.

[0061] Second embodiment

[0062] In this implementation, please continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown, the structure for driving the flap 5 to automatically flip includes a driving motor 10, a rope winding roller 11, a rope guide roller and a pull rope 6. The driving motor 10 is embedded in the first guide block 12, and the rope winding roller 11 is rotatably connected to the output end of the driving motor 10. The pull rope 6 passes around the rope guide roller, and the two ends of the pull rope 6 are respectively fixed to the rope winding roller 11 and the counterweight plate 52. As can be seen from the above, the working principle of the flap 5 when opening in cooperation with the induction device 3 is as follows: start the driving motor 10 to drive the rope winding roller 11 to rotate to release the pull rope 6. At this time, based on the downward pressure of the gravity of the counterweight plate 52, the entire flap 5 is driven to rotate clockwise (with the weight plate 52 rotating clockwise). Figure 2 The direction shown in the figure is taken as an example), thereby realizing the opening of the through hole on the top of the cover body 2, and correspondingly realizing the automatic opening of the whole intelligent trash can. On the contrary, when closing the flip cover 5, the rope winding roller 11 is driven in the reverse direction by the driving motor 10 to realize the retraction of the pull rope 6. At this time, the pull rope 6 pulls the counterweight plate 52 upward, thereby driving the whole flip cover 5 to rotate counterclockwise, until the counterweight plate 52 squeezes the first touch switch 7, and then stops driving the motor 10, realizing the automatic closing of the whole intelligent trash can.

[0063] When the flip cover 5 is opened, based on the first touch switch 7, the power supply of the ultraviolet disinfection device 16 is cut off at the same time to prevent the ultraviolet rays emitted by the ultraviolet disinfection device 16 from causing harm to the human body; and when the flip cover 5 is closed, based on the first touch switch 7, the ultraviolet disinfection device 16 is automatically powered on to achieve automatic disinfection of the storage cavity in the barrel body 1.

[0064] In this embodiment, preferably, please continue to refer to Figure 4As shown, the rope guide roller includes a guide single roller 9 and a positioning roller group 8, wherein the positioning roller group 8 is embedded in the inner wall of the cover body 2 and is located on one side of the first touch switch 7. Figure 4 It can be seen that the guide single roller 9 plays a role in guiding the pull rope 6, so that the pull rope 6 can accurately connect the rope winding roller 11 and the counterweight plate 52, and the positioning roller group 8 plays a role in limiting the pull rope 6, so that when the counterweight plate 52 rotates and drives the pull rope 6 to move, the pull rope 6 will not be worn against the inner wall of the cover body 2, thereby ensuring the service life of the pull rope 6.

[0065] In addition, in this embodiment, a second touch switch 15 is embedded on the inner wall of the cover body 2 on one side relative to the movable mechanism, and the second touch switch 15 cooperates with the barrel body 1; when the barrel body 1 squeezes the second touch switch 15, the flip cover 5 can be automatically opened and the ultraviolet disinfection device 16 is turned on; when the barrel body 1 is separated from the second touch switch 15, the flip cover 5 cannot be automatically opened and the ultraviolet disinfection device 16 is turned off.

[0066] exist Figure 1-Figure 3 In the example, the movable mechanism is installed on the opposite side of the mounting surface of the cover body 2, and the second touch switch 15 is installed on the inner wall of the mounting surface of the cover body 2, and the moving direction of the barrel body 1 is as follows: Figure 8 Specifically, by setting the second touch switch 15, the flip cover 5 and the ultraviolet disinfection device 16 of the whole intelligent trash can are in a closed state when the barrel body 1 is replaced, thereby ensuring the safety when the barrel body 1 is replaced.

[0067] For further information, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the second guide block 20 is also provided with a second inclined surface, and the second inclined surface cooperates with the through hole on the cover body 2 to guide the garbage into the receiving cavity. Figure 3 In the figure, the direction indicated by the arrow is the guiding direction of the second inclined surface. It can be seen from the figure that based on the cooperation of the second inclined surface, the garbage inserted into the through hole can be effectively guided into the accommodating cavity of the barrel body 1.

[0068] For further information, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first guide block 12 is also provided with an arc-shaped guide surface, which contacts the end of the counterweight plate 52 and is used to support and guide the counterweight plate 52.

[0069] In addition, in addition to the guiding function, the arc-shaped guide surface and the second inclined surface also have a protective function for the ultraviolet disinfection device 16 on the second guide block 20, which can effectively prevent the garbage from hitting the ultraviolet disinfection device 16 when falling into the accommodating cavity of the barrel body 1.

[0070] It is worth mentioning that please continue to refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the first guide block 12 and the second guide block 20 are both embedded with a spring 13 and a limiting bead 14, and the spring 13 is fixed to the top of the limiting bead 14. A limiting arc groove is opened on the top of the barrel body 1, and the limiting arc groove and the limiting bead 14 are engaged with each other.

[0071] As can be seen from the figure, the bottom of the limit bead 14 is an arc-shaped structure, so that the barrel body 1 can move relative to the limit bead 14 when moving in or out of the cover body 2, and the spring 13 will be compressed during the relative movement to ensure the smooth movement in or out of the barrel body 1. Specifically, the purpose of setting the elastic limiter is to make the positioning of the barrel body 1 inside the cover body 2 more stable.

[0072] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0073] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
