Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of garbage cans, and specifically provides a garbage can control method and garbage can. BACKGROUND

[0002] Garbage cans are wrapped with bacteria, viruses and molds every day because they need to accept various kinds of waste, and are a place where bacteria are easily hidden, which easily causes environmental pollution. In order to solve the problem that bacteria and peculiar smell are generated due to long storage of garbage in the garbage can, the existing garbage can generally sets a deodorizing device to deodorize the garbage can, but the deodorizing device cannot play a role in sterilization and bacteriostasis, and only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Therefore, a new garbage can is needed to degerm the garbage in it to avoid the breeding of bacteria in the garbage can and the generation of a large amount of peculiar smell, so that the user will not feel uncomfortable in the moment of opening the garbage can. SUMMARY

[0003] An object of the present application is to solve the problem that bacteria are easily bred due to long storage of garbage in the garbage can.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present application provides a garbage can control method, wherein the garbage can comprises a detection device for detecting a garbage signal, and the control method comprises:

[0005] determining whether the detection device has detected the garbage signal;

[0006] if the garbage signal is detected, determining whether the duration of the garbage signal reaches a preset time length;

[0007] if the duration reaches the preset time length, determining the number of times of the garbage signal detected by the detection device;

[0008] determining the spraying amount of sterilizing agent according to the number of times;

[0009] controlling the sterilizing agent spraying module to spray the spraying amount of sterilizing agent.

[0010] Further, after the number of times of the garbage signal detected by the detection device is determined, and before the spraying amount of sterilizing agent is determined according to the number of times, the control method further comprises: determining whether the number of times of the garbage signal reaches a preset number of times.

[0011] The determination of the spraying amount of sterilizing agent according to the number of times comprises: if the preset number of times is reached, the spraying amount of sterilizing agent is determined according to the number of times.

[0012] Further, the control method further comprises: if the preset number of times is not reached, the user is reminded to clean in time.

[0013] Further, the garbage can is provided with a ventilation opening, and further comprises a fan installed at the ventilation opening.

[0014] The control method further comprises: while the sterilizing agent spraying module sprays the sterilizing agent, controlling the fan to rotate at a set rotating speed and frequency change, so that the fan provides the garbage can with air waves with high and low pressure changes, thereby causing the air waves to vibrate the sterilizing agent and the garbage in the garbage can, and further accelerating the penetration of the sterilizing agent into the garbage.

[0015] Further, the control method further comprises: judging whether the garbage can has completed sterilization; and if the sterilization is completed, controlling the fan to operate to discharge the air in the garbage can to outside of the garbage can.

[0016] Further, the judgment of whether the garbage can has completed sterilization comprises: judging whether the sterilizing agent spraying module stops working for a preset time length.

[0017] Further, the garbage can further comprises an air outlet and an air door, the air outlet is used to discharge the gas in the garbage can, and the air door is used to shield the air outlet; the garbage can further comprises a fragrance provided at the air outlet.

[0018] Further, after reminding the user to clean, judging whether the detection device can continuously detect the garbage signal to determine whether the garbage can is cleaned; if the garbage signal cannot be continuously detected, the number of the garbage signal is cleared.

[0019] Further, a garbage can comprises: a garbage can used to contain garbage; a detection device used to detect a garbage signal of the garbage in the garbage can; and a controller in communication connection with the detection device, the controller is configured to enable the garbage can to perform a control method.

[0020] Further, the detection device comprises an infrared signal emitter and an infrared signal receiver, and the infrared signal emitter and the infrared signal receiver are oppositely arranged at two sides of the garbage can.

[0021] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can understand that, in the foregoing technical solutions of the present application, by arranging the detection device and the sterilizing agent spraying module in the garbage can, the garbage can can detect the storage state of the garbage through the detection device, and spray a certain amount of sterilizing agent according to the storage state of the garbage to sterilize the environment in the garbage can. Specifically, the detection device detects the garbage signal in the garbage can, the controller judges the signal, and then determines the spraying amount of the sterilizing agent according to the number of detected garbage signals, and then the sterilizing agent spraying module releases the corresponding spraying amount of sterilizing agent to effectively sterilize the garbage in the garbage can. Therefore, the present application overcomes the problem of bacterial breeding caused by the long storage time of the garbage in the garbage can, and also avoids the over-spraying of sterilizing agent in the garbage can, which causes the excess sterilizing agent to spread into the air when the garbage can is opened, causing unnecessary waste.

[0022] Further, while the sterilizing agent spraying module sprays sterilizing agent in the garbage can, the fan is controlled to rotate at a set rotating speed and frequency, so that the sterilizing agent can be quickly absorbed on the surface of the garbage, improving the sterilization efficiency of the sterilizing agent spraying module.

[0023] Further, after the fan of the lid directs air into the garbage can for circulation, the gas is discharged outside the can through the exhaust port, so that the garbage can also has the function of replacing fresh air, so that the garbage can does not produce unpleasant odor at the moment when it is opened by the user.

[0024] Further, by arranging the fragrance at the exhaust port of the garbage can, the fragrance can spread into the air together with the air discharged from the garbage can, avoiding the irritating odor to the surrounding personnel. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0038] Before that, it needs to be explained that, in order to facilitate the description, and in order to enable the person skilled in the art to quickly understand the technical scheme of the present application, only the technical features which are closely related (directly related or indirectly related) to the technical problems and / or technical concepts to be solved by the present application are described in the following, and the technical features which are weakly related to the technical problems and / or technical concepts to be solved by the present application are not described in detail. Since the technical features which are weakly related belong to the common knowledge in the art, the disclosure of the present application will not be insufficient even if the weakly related features are not described.

[0039] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, in the first embodiment of the present application, the garbage can 100 of the present application can sterilize the garbage in the garbage can 100 to avoid the bacteria breeding due to the long storage time of the garbage. The garbage can 100 includes a cover 1, a body 2, a detection device 3, a sterilizing agent spraying module 4, a fan 5 and a controller 6. The detection device 3 is arranged on the body 2 and is used to detect the garbage information of the garbage put by the user. The sterilizing agent spraying module 4 is arranged on the cover 1 and is used to release the sterilizing agent to sterilize the garbage in the garbage can 100. The fan 5 is arranged on the cover 1 to perform the fresh air treatment in the garbage can 100, so that the garbage can 100 will not produce a foul smell at the moment when the user opens the garbage can 100.

[0040] As Figure 1 shown, the cover 1 is arranged above the body 2 and is used to close the garbage can 100. The cover 1 can be arranged on one side of the front part of the body 2 in a hinged manner, so that the cover 1 can open and close the garbage can 100 in a pivoting manner. The cover 1 includes a switch 11, a ventilation port 12 and an exhaust port 13.

[0041] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 , the switch 11 is arranged on the front side of the garbage can 100, and when the user needs to open the cover 1, the switch 11 can be pressed to open the cover 1 of the garbage can 100.

[0042] With reference to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 , the ventilation port 12 penetrates the lid 1 of the garbage can 100, one end of the ventilation port 12 communicates with the inside of the garbage can 100, and the other end communicates with the outside air, and the ventilation port 12 is used to guide the outside air into the garbage can 100.

[0043] With reference to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 , the exhaust port 13 penetrates the lid 1 of the garbage can 100, and is used to exhaust the gas in the garbage can 100 to the outside of the garbage can 100. Preferably, the exhaust port 13 is arranged on the side of the lid 1 of the garbage can 100 away from the ventilation port 12, so as to avoid the problem that the wind just blown out of the exhaust port 13 of the garbage can 100 is guided into the garbage can 100 through the ventilation port 12, resulting in poor fresh air effect of the garbage can 100. Of course, the person skilled in the art can arrange the exhaust port 13 on the rear wall of the barrel body 2 of the garbage can 100 away from the exhaust port 13 according to the needs, and specifically, the exhaust port 13 is arranged at the position close to the lid of the garbage can 100 on the rear wall of the barrel body 2, so as to avoid the problem that the exhaust port 13 is blocked by the garbage in the garbage can 100 and cannot achieve the effect of fresh air.

[0044] Further, although not shown in the drawings, in the second embodiment of the present application, the person skilled in the art can also arrange a damper (not shown in the drawings) at the exhaust port 13 according to the needs, which is used to guide the air in the garbage can 100 to the outside of the garbage can 100. Preferably, the damper is a one-way damper, so that the air passing through the exhaust port 13 is only unidirectionally guided out of the garbage can 100.

[0045] With reference to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 , the detection device 3 is arranged on the side wall of the barrel body 2 of the garbage can 100, and is used to detect whether there is a garbage signal in the garbage can 100. When the user puts garbage into the garbage can 100, the garbage will block the detection device 3 during the falling process, and at this time a garbage signal is generated. When the garbage signal continues to exist, it indicates that the garbage in the garbage can 100 is always blocking the detection device 3, which means that the garbage in the garbage can 100 is more; if the garbage signal only appears temporarily / or instantaneously, it means that the garbage does not block the detection device 3, and the garbage in the barrel is less or the garbage in the barrel does not reach the amount that needs to be sterilized.

[0046] With reference to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 , the detection device 3 is configured to detect whether there is a garbage signal in the garbage can 100, and if the garbage signal is detected, to judge whether the duration of the garbage signal reaches a preset time length, and if so, to determine the number of times of the garbage signal detected by the detection device 3, to determine the injection amount of the sterilizing agent according to the number of times, and to control the sterilizing agent injection module 4 to inject the injection amount of the sterilizing agent.

[0047] Further, in the third embodiment of the present application, the detection device 3 can be set as an ultrasonic sensor, a semiconductor sensor, a Hall sensor, a photoelectric sensor, or other sensors that can be used to detect the garbage signal according to the needs of those skilled in the art. Preferably, the detection device 3 in the present application is a device for detecting using infrared signals, which includes an infrared signal transmitter 31 and an infrared signal receiver 32. Specifically, the infrared signal transmitter 31 sends the detected garbage signal to the infrared signal receiver 32, and the infrared signal receiver 32 transmits the garbage signal to the controller 6, which determines whether sterilization is needed in the garbage can 100.

[0048] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 , the sterilizing agent spraying module 4 is arranged inside the lid 1 of the garbage can 100, and is used to spray sterilizing agent into the garbage can 100 to sterilize the garbage can 100. The sterilizing agent spraying module 4 includes a sterilizing agent spraying port 41 arranged inside the lid 1 of the garbage can 100, and a sterilizing agent and a driving pump. The sterilizing agent spraying port 41 is used to spray the sterilizing agent in the sterilizing agent spraying module 4 into the garbage can 100. The sterilizing agent includes sterilizing substances and deodorizing substances. The driving pump is used to drive the sterilizing agent spraying module 4 to spray the sterilizing agent, and the driving pump can be set as an electric pump or an air pump. The driving principle of the driving pump has been disclosed in the prior art, and will not be described here.

[0049] Further, the sterilizing agent can be in the form of an aerosol or a liquid. Specifically, the driving pump sprays the sterilizing agent in the form of a liquid, such as atomization. Preferably, the driving pump sprays the sterilizing agent in the form of an aerosol in the present application, and the aerosol-shaped sterilizing agent can adhere to the surface of the garbage, which can make the sterilization of the garbage in the can more sufficient.

[0050] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the fan 5 is arranged on the lid 1 of the garbage can 100, and a ventilation hole is arranged below the fan 5, which is used to supply air to the garbage can 100. Specifically, the fan 5 can be configured to be turned on after the sterilization in the garbage can 100 is completed, so that the external air can enter the garbage can 100 through the ventilation hole 12, and the air in the garbage can 100 is discharged to the outside of the garbage can 100 through the exhaust hole 13, so as to realize the fresh air function of the garbage can 100, and further make the user open the garbage can 100 without a pungent smell in the garbage can 100. Further, the fan 5 can also be configured to be turned on when the sterilizing agent is put into the garbage can 100, and the fan 5 rotates at a set rotation speed and frequency, so as to provide the garbage can 100 with air waves with high and low pressure changes, so as to make the air waves vibrate the sterilizing agent and the garbage in the garbage can 100, and further accelerate the penetration of the sterilizing agent to the garbage.

[0051] Refer to the following Figures 3 to 7 The control method of the trash can 100 of the present invention is described in detail in conjunction with the sterilization mode of the trash can 100.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the trash can 100 includes:

[0053] Step S110 , determining whether the detection device 3 detects a garbage signal.

[0054] The garbage signal is a signal generated when the detection device 3 of the trash can 100 is blocked by garbage.

[0055] Detection device 3 is configured as an infrared signal detection device. When a user places trash into trash can 100, the trash blocks the infrared signal of detection device 3 as it falls, causing detection device 3 to output this signal as a garbage signal. Specifically, the infrared signal detection device includes an infrared signal transmitter 31 and an infrared signal receiver 32. Infrared signal transmitter 31 transmits detected garbage signals to infrared signal receiver 32, which transmits the garbage signals to controller 6, which determines whether the trash can 100 needs to be sterilized.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the infrared signal transmitter 31 and the infrared signal receiver 32 are relatively arranged on both sides of the trash can 100 body 2, wherein the infrared signal transmitter 31 is used to transmit the detected garbage signal to the infrared signal receiver 32, and the infrared signal receiver 32 is used to receive the garbage signal detected by the infrared signal transmitter 31. Specifically, when garbage passes through the detection device 3, the infrared signal transmitter 31 transmits the garbage signal to the infrared signal receiver 32. After the infrared signal receiver 32 receives the garbage signal, the infrared signal receiver 32 transmits the garbage signal to the controller 6, and the controller 6 further determines whether to sterilize the inside of the trash can 100.

[0057] Furthermore, those skilled in the art may install one or more infrared signal detection devices on the sidewalls of the trash can 100 body 2 to further determine the volume of trash within the trash can 100. Specifically, when there is only one set of infrared signal detection devices in the trash can 100, the detection device 3 may be installed on the body 2 at a distance from the lid 1 at approximately 0.8 times the height of the inner wall of the body 2 to prevent excessive trash from being stored in the trash can 100 and preventing the disinfectant from effectively sterilizing the trash. When multiple sets of infrared signal detection devices are installed in the trash can 100, the multiple sets of infrared detection devices are installed at a certain distance in the height direction of the trash can 100 body 2.

[0058] Step S120, if detected, determine whether the duration of the garbage signal reaches the preset length. According to the duration of the garbage signal, the current storage capacity of the garbage in the garbage can 100 can be seen. When the garbage blocking detection device 3 generates a garbage signal, if the garbage signal persists and remains for a period of time, it is determined that the garbage can 100 is relatively full, and the sterilizing agent spraying module 4 is controlled to perform sterilization treatment, and the user is reminded to clean it up; if only a short time / or instantaneously appeared garbage signal, indicating that the garbage in the garbage can 100 is less, and it is not necessary to sterilize or clean it up.

[0059] Step S130, if reached, determine the number of garbage signals detected by the detection device 3.

[0060] Among them, the number of garbage signals is that each time the detection device 3 detects garbage blocking, it records garbage information once, and the obtained garbage information is accumulated to obtain the final number of garbage signals. That is, each time the detection device 3 detects garbage information, the number of garbage signals is recorded as once; when the garbage signal is detected again, it is accumulated on the basis of the previous time until the detection of the garbage signal reaches the preset time of the duration, and the number of garbage information is obtained.

[0061] Step S140, determine the spraying amount of sterilizing agent according to the number. When the detected garbage signal reaches the preset time of the duration, the number of garbage information is obtained, and the spraying amount of sterilizing agent is calculated according to the number of garbage signals obtained. When the number of garbage signals obtained is large, it indicates that the garbage put by the user is scattered, and the sterilizing agent spraying module 4 needs to release a large amount of sterilizing agent; when the number of garbage signals obtained is small, it indicates that the garbage put by the user is large, and if the sterilizing agent spraying module 4 releases a large amount of sterilizing agent at this time, it will cause a large amount of sterilizing agent to be unable to settle or diffuse to the outside of the barrel to pollute the air, causing waste of sterilizing agent. Therefore, when the number of garbage signals obtained is small, less sterilizing agent needs to be released or the user is reminded to clean up the garbage.

[0062] Step S150, control the sterilizing agent spraying module 4 to spray the spraying amount of sterilizing agent. After determining the spraying amount of sterilizing agent, the controller 6 controls the sterilizing agent spraying module 4 to release the spraying amount of sterilizing agent. At the same time of releasing the sterilizing agent by the sterilizing agent spraying module 4, the fan 5 is controlled to be turned on, and the vibration generated by the fan 5 is used to make the sterilizing agent penetrate to the bottom of the garbage can 100, so that the sterilizing agent can completely adsorb on the surface of the garbage, and the sterilization effect of the sterilizing agent is improved.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 4 the first embodiment of the present application further comprises the following steps after step S130:

[0064] Step S131 determines whether the number of junk signals has reached a preset number. If the number of junk signals reaches the preset number, it indicates that the user's discarded garbage is relatively fragmented, and the disinfectant injection module 4 needs to release a larger amount of disinfectant. If the number of junk signals does not reach the preset number, it indicates that the user's discarded garbage is large in volume, and the user is reminded to clean up the garbage. Preferably, the preset number of junk signals is set to three, but those skilled in the art may adjust the preset number to two or four as needed.

[0065] Step S132: If the preset number of times is reached, the amount of fungicide injection is determined based on the number of times. If the garbage signal reaches the preset number of times, it means that the garbage in the trash can 100 is relatively fragmented, and the fungicide injection module 4 can be controlled to release a larger amount of fungicide. The amount of fungicide injection is determined based on the number of times. Assuming that the number of garbage signals is n, the user can put garbage in the trash can 100 at most 10 times, and the amount of fungicide released by the fungicide injection module 4 each time is 5 ml, the final amount of fungicide released in the trash can 100 is

[0066]

[0067] Step S133: If the preset number of garbage signals is not reached, the user is reminded to clean it in time. If the garbage signal is not reached, it means that the volume of garbage in the garbage bin 100 is relatively large, that is, the garbage bin 100 is full, and the user is reminded to clean it and / or release a small amount of disinfectant to sterilize it.

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, in the first embodiment of the present invention, after step S150, the following steps are further included:

[0069] Step S210 , controlling the sterilizer spraying module 4 to spray a certain amount of sterilizer, and reminding the user that the trash can 100 is being sterilized and not to open it.

[0070] In step S220, while the bactericide injection module 4 is spraying the bactericide, the fan 5 is controlled to rotate at a set speed conversion frequency so that the fan 5 provides the trash can 100 with high-low pressure conversion air waves, thereby causing the air waves to vibrate the bactericide and the garbage in the trash can 100, thereby accelerating the penetration of the bactericide into the garbage.

[0071] Step S230: After the fungicide spraying is completed, the fan 5 is controlled to be turned off, and the trash can 100 is left to stand for a period of time.

[0072] Step S240, determine whether the sterilizing agent spraying module 4 stops working for a preset time length, if not, execute step S230. If the sterilizing agent spraying module 4 stops working for a preset time length, it means that the sterilizing agent has completely settled and adsorbed to the surface of the garbage, and the sterilization is completed. If the sterilizing agent spraying module 4 stops working for a time length that does not reach the preset time length, it means that the sterilizing agent has not completely settled, and the garbage can 100 is continued to be placed until the sterilizing agent spraying module 4 stops working for a preset time length.

[0073] Step S250, if yes, the garbage can 100 completes sterilization, and the user is reminded to clean the garbage in time.

[0074] Step S260, after the garbage can 100 completes sterilization, the fan 5 is controlled to operate to discharge the air in the garbage can 100 to the outside of the garbage can 100.

[0075] Step S270, in the process of controlling the fan 5 to operate, the fragrance sprayer sprays fragrance.

[0076] Step S280, after a period of time, the fan 5 stops operating.

[0077] Step S290, the garbage can 100 completes fresh air replacement, and the user is reminded to clean the garbage in time.

[0078] As shown in FIG. 1, in the first embodiment of the present application, the control method after step S290 or step S133 further comprises: Figure 6

[0079] Step S310, after reminding the user to clean, determine whether the detection device 3 can still continuously detect the garbage signal to determine whether the garbage can 100 is cleaned; if the garbage signal can still be continuously detected, execute S290.

[0080] Step S320, if the garbage signal cannot be continuously detected, clear the number of garbage signals. If the garbage signal cannot be continuously detected, it means that the garbage in the garbage can 100 has been cleaned, and the number of garbage signals is cleared to continue the detection and judgment of the garbage signal by the garbage can 100.

[0081] In the fourth embodiment of the present application, a display screen is further provided above the garbage can 100, which is used to display the reminding information to the user. Of course, the reminding information can be reminded to the user in the form of voice reminding, vibration reminding or short message reminding by those skilled in the art.

[0082] In the fifth embodiment of the present application, the switch 11 is provided on the display screen, and the switch 11 can be a touch switch 11. When the user holds something and is not convenient, the switch 11 can be directly touched to open the garbage can 100. ​

[0083] As shown in Figure 7 The garbage can 100 is further provided with a controller 6, which is electrically connected with the detection device 3, the sterilizing agent spraying module 4, the fan 5 and the switch 11, so that when the switch 11 is turned on, the controller 6 controls the detection device 3 to start detecting the garbage signal in the can, and judges whether the garbage can 100 reaches the sterilization condition, and controls the sterilizing agent spraying module 4 to release sterilizing agent in the garbage can 100 when the sterilization condition is met, and controls the fan 5 to be turned on after the sterilizing agent is released, so that the garbage can 100 starts the fresh air mode.

[0084] Further, the controller 6 can be implemented by using an industrial computer, an embedded controller 6 or other electronic control with certain network transmission capability and data storage and processing capability. The controller 6 can include a memory 61 and a processor 62, wherein the memory 61 stores a computer program which can execute any control method in the embodiment when executed by the processor 62, to complete the sterilization mode, the fresh air mode, data transmission and internal control and other functions.

[0085] As can be understood by those skilled in the art, the present application provides the detection device 3 and the sterilizing agent spraying module 4 in the garbage can 100, so that the garbage can 100 can detect the storage state of the garbage by the detection device 3, and spray a certain amount of sterilizing agent according to the storage state of the garbage, to sterilize the environment in the garbage can 100. Specifically, the detection device 3 detects the garbage signal in the garbage can 100, the controller 6 judges the signal, and determines the spraying amount of the sterilizing agent according to the number of the detected garbage signal. Then the sterilizing agent spraying module 4 releases the corresponding spraying amount of sterilizing agent to effectively sterilize the garbage in the garbage can 100. Therefore, the present application overcomes the problem of bacterial breeding caused by the long storage time of the garbage in the garbage can 100, and avoids the over-spraying of the sterilizing agent in the garbage can 100, which causes the unnecessary waste of the sterilizing agent diffused into the air when the garbage can 100 is opened.

[0086] Further, when the sterilizing agent spraying module 4 sprays the sterilizing agent in the garbage can 100, the fan 5 is controlled to rotate at a set rotating speed and frequency, so that the sterilizing agent can be quickly adsorbed on the surface of the garbage, improving the sterilization efficiency of the sterilizing agent spraying module 4.

[0087] Further, after the fan 5 of the can cover 1 guides the air into the garbage can 100 for circulation, the gas is discharged outside the can through the air outlet 13, so that the garbage can 100 also has the function of replacing fresh air, so that the garbage can 100 does not produce a foul smell at the moment when it is opened by the user.

[0088] Further, by arranging the fragrance at the air outlet 13 of the garbage can 100, the fragrance can be diffused into the air along with the air discharged from the garbage can 100, avoiding the pungent odor feeling to the surrounding personnel.

[0089] So far, the technical solutions of the present application have been described in combination with the foregoing embodiments, but those skilled in the art can easily understand that the protection scope of the present application is not limited to these specific embodiments. Without deviating from the technical principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can split and combine the technical solutions in the above-described embodiments, or make equivalent changes or replacements to the related technical features, and any changes, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the technical concept and / or technical principles of the present application will fall within the protection scope of the present application.
