Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The embodiment of the present application relates to an intelligent furniture, in particular to a garbage bag anti-pinch method of an anti-odor clamp, an anti-odor mechanism and a garbage can. BACKGROUND

[0002] The intelligent garbage can, as an intelligent furniture device capable of automatically opening and closing the garbage can cover and also capable of completing automatic sealing and packing, completely solves the hidden danger of health pollution existing for the user of the traditional garbage can and can effectively prevent the spread of various infectious diseases through garbage and prevent the odor of the garbage in the can from overflowing, and therefore, is more and more widely applied in families.

[0003] At present, during the use of the intelligent garbage can, the garbage bag still has a large storage capacity, but the garbage in the garbage bag has begun to rot, thereby causing the garbage to produce odor and peculiar smell. At this time, although the can cover has closed the can opening, the odor will still overflow from the gap between the can cover and the can opening, especially for some wet garbage, the phenomenon is particularly obvious, thereby affecting the user's use experience. Therefore, in order to prevent the peculiar smell in the garbage can from overflowing outside the can, some garbage cans are provided with an anti-odor clamp. When the can cover closes the can opening, the anti-odor clamp tightens the bag opening of the garbage bag, and when the can cover opens the can opening, the anti-odor clamp also opens the bag opening of the garbage bag.

[0004] However, the inventor finds that when the anti-odor rod of the anti-odor clamp moves to the initial position, the garbage bag is often pinched. Especially when the garbage bag in the garbage bag box is used up and the garbage bag is replaced, the garbage bag drawn from the garbage bag box is often not installed by the user in a standard manner, so that part of the garbage bag is guided to the position between the anti-odor rod and the edge of the can opening. Therefore, when the anti-odor rod moves to the initial position for opening the bag opening of the garbage bag, the garbage bag is easily pinched at the position between the anti-odor rod and the edge of the can opening, that is, the garbage bag is rolled into the outside of the anti-odor rod. At this time, if the garbage bag is manually pulled out from the pinching position, since the anti-odor rod has a large clamping force on the garbage bag at this time, the garbage bag is easily damaged. If the rolled garbage bag is not taken out, it will affect the tightening of the bag opening of the garbage bag by the anti-odor clamp. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the embodiment of the present application is to design a garbage bag anti-pinch method of an anti-odor clamp, an anti-odor mechanism and a garbage can. When the garbage bag is rolled into the outside of the anti-odor rod, the rolled garbage bag can be easily pulled out from the outside of the anti-odor rod, thereby avoiding damage to the garbage bag and also not affecting the tightening of the garbage bag by the anti-odor clamp.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for preventing the clamping of garbage bags with odor-proof clips, the method comprising the following steps:

[0007] Upon receiving a reset signal or a power-on signal, determine whether the odor-proof rod of the odor-proof clip is in the preset position of tightening the garbage bag opening;

[0008] If it is determined that the odor-proof rod is not in the preset position of tightening the garbage bag opening, the drive device of the garbage can is controlled to drive the odor-proof rod to move in the direction of the preset position.

[0009] Determine whether the odor-proof rod has moved into place;

[0010] Once it is determined that the odor-proof rod has reached its designated position, the drive device is controlled to drive the odor-proof rod to move away from the preset position.

[0011] When the odor-proof rod moves to the preset position where the garbage bag opening is opened, the drive device is turned off.

[0012] In addition, embodiments of the present invention also provide an odor-preventing mechanism, comprising:

[0013] Odor-proof clip: The odor-proof clip has: an odor-proof rod;

[0014] A driving device, connected to the odor-proof rod, is used to drive the odor-proof rod to slide along a preset straight direction;

[0015] The main control module, connected to the drive device, is used to receive reset signals or power-on signals;

[0016] The main control module is also used to determine whether the odor-proof rod of the odor-proof clip is in a preset position for opening the garbage bag after receiving the reset signal or the power-on signal, and is used to control the driving device when it is determined that the odor-proof rod is in the preset position, so that the driving device drives the odor-proof rod to move away from the preset position.

[0017] The main control module is also used to determine whether the odor-proof rod has moved to the correct position when the odor-proof rod moves in a direction away from the preset position, and to control the drive device after determining that the rod has moved to the correct position, so that the drive device drives the odor-proof rod to move in the direction of the preset position.

[0018] The main control module is also used to shut down the drive device when the odor-proof rod moves to a preset position to open the garbage bag opening.

[0019] In addition, embodiments of the present invention also provide a trash can, comprising:

[0020] A bin body; the bin body has: a bin opening and a receiving cavity communicating with the bin opening along a preset axis direction; wherein, the bin opening is used for laying garbage bags into the receiving cavity;

[0021] The odor-proof mechanism described above; the odor-proof mechanism is arranged opposite to the opening of the bin along the preset axis direction, and the odor-proof mechanism is used to tighten or open the opening of the garbage bag.

[0022] Compared to existing technologies, this new technology, upon receiving a reset or power-on signal, allows the trash can to determine if the odor-preventing lever of the odor-preventing clamp is in the preset position for tightening the trash bag opening. If it's not in the preset position, the drive device is controlled to move the odor-preventing lever towards the preset position. If the trash bag is caught outside the odor-preventing lever, the user can easily pull it out. Simultaneously, once the odor-preventing lever is in position, the drive device is controlled again to move it away from the preset position. When the lever reaches the preset position for tightening the trash bag opening, the drive device is deactivated, allowing the odor-preventing lever to return to its original position. Therefore, this method avoids damage to the trash bag and does not affect the odor-preventing clamp's ability to tighten the bag. Attached Figure Description

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details have been presented in the various embodiments of the present invention to facilitate a better understanding of this application. However, the technical solutions claimed in this application can be implemented even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] The first embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for preventing the odor-proof clip from clamping garbage bags, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method for preventing garbage bags from being pinched includes the following steps:

[0036] Step 110: After receiving a reset signal or power-on signal, determine whether the odor-proof rod of the odor-proof clip is in the preset position of opening the garbage bag opening.

[0037] Step 120: If it is determined that the odor-proof rod is not in the preset position of opening the garbage bag opening, control the drive device of the garbage can to drive the odor-proof rod to move away from the preset position.

[0038] Step 130: Determine if the odor-proof rod has moved into place.

[0039] Step 140: If it is determined that the odor-proof rod has moved to the correct position, control the drive device to move the odor-proof rod to the preset position. If it is determined that the odor-proof rod has not moved to the correct position, return to step 120.

[0040] Step 150: When the odor-proof rod moves to the preset position to open the garbage bag opening, turn off the drive device.

[0041] As can be seen from the above, after receiving a reset signal or power-on signal, the trash can can determine whether the odor-preventing lever of the odor-preventing clamp is in the preset position for opening the trash bag. Once it is determined to be in the preset position, it means that the odor-preventing lever is at the edge of the trash can's opening side. At this time, there is a possibility that the trash bag may be caught on the outside of the odor-preventing lever, making it impossible to pull out. Therefore, the drive device can be controlled to move the odor-preventing lever away from the preset position, so that the odor-preventing lever does not stick to the edge. If the trash bag is caught on the outside of the odor-preventing lever, the user can easily pull out the trash bag that is caught on the outside of the odor-preventing lever. At the same time, after the odor-preventing lever has moved to the preset position, the drive device can be controlled to move the odor-preventing lever towards the preset position. When the odor-preventing lever has moved to the preset position, the drive device can be turned off, thus realizing the odor-preventing lever's return movement. Therefore, while avoiding damage to the trash bag, it also does not affect the odor-preventing clamp when tightening the trash bag.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the step 110 of determining whether the odor-proof lever of the odor-proof clip is in the preset position for opening the garbage bag mouth specifically includes:

[0043] The odor-preventing rod is detected in real time at a preset position. Specifically, a detection module can be set at the preset position. For example, this detection module can use a photoelectric sensor to detect in real time whether the odor-preventing rod has moved to the preset position to open the garbage bag opening. Of course, in practical applications, other types of sensors can also be used for the detection module, but in this embodiment, the type of detection module is not specifically limited.

[0044] If the odor-preventing rod is detected at the preset position, it can be determined that the odor-preventing rod is in the preset position for opening the garbage bag opening. If the odor-preventing rod is not detected at the preset position, it can be determined that the odor-preventing rod is not in the preset position for opening the garbage bag opening.

[0045] Furthermore, after determining that the odor-proof lever of the odor-proof clip is not in the preset position for opening the garbage bag opening, i.e. after step 110, as follows... Figure 1 As shown, step 140 can be executed directly, that is, the drive device is controlled to drive the odor-proof rod to move in the direction of the preset position, thereby realizing the reset movement of the odor-proof rod.

[0046] Additionally, it's worth mentioning that, in order to accurately determine whether the odor-preventing rod has moved to the correct position when the trash can moves away from the preset position, step 130 specifically includes the following steps:

[0047] Calculate the time it takes for the odor-proof rod to move away from the preset position.

[0048] If the calculated movement time of the odor-preventing rod is less than the preset time, it is determined that the rod has not moved to its intended position. Conversely, if the calculated movement time equals the preset time, it is determined that the rod has moved to its intended position. In practical applications, for example, a timing module can be installed inside the trash can and electrically connected to the main control module. The timing module can time the movement of the odor-preventing rod away from the preset position and simultaneously upload the timed duration to the main control module. If the duration received by the main control module is less than the preset time, it indicates that the rod has not moved to its intended position. Conversely, if the duration received by the main control module equals the preset time, it indicates that the rod has moved to its intended position.

[0049] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, after controlling the drive device to drive the odor-proof rod to move away from the preset position, i.e., after step 120, and before determining whether the odor-proof rod has moved to the correct position, i.e., before step 130, the following steps are also included:

[0050] Step 121: Determine if the odor-proof rod is obstructed.

[0051] Step 122: If it is determined that the odor-proof rod is blocked, turn off the drive device.

[0052] If it is determined that the odor-proof rod is not obstructed, continue to determine whether the odor-proof rod has moved into place, that is, proceed to step 130.

[0053] As the drive unit moves the odor-proof rod away from the preset position, it can determine in real time whether the odor-proof rod is obstructed. Once the odor-proof rod is obstructed, the drive unit can be shut off. Therefore, the current increase caused by the obstruction of the odor-proof rod can be avoided, thus protecting the drive unit and effectively extending its service life.

[0054] Furthermore, it is worth noting that the driving current of the drive device in driving the odor-preventing rod gradually increases as the odor-preventing rod becomes obstructed. Therefore, in this embodiment, the current value of the drive device when driving the odor-preventing rod can be calculated to determine whether the odor-preventing rod is obstructed during its movement. That is, step 121 can specifically include:

[0055] Calculate the current value of the drive device when the odor-proof rod moves away from the preset position.

[0056] If the calculated current value of the drive device is greater than or equal to the preset current value, the odor-proof rod is determined to be obstructed. If the calculated current value of the drive device is less than the preset current value, the odor-proof rod is determined to be unobstructed.

[0057] Furthermore, based on the above, it is not difficult to see that since the odor-proof rod may also encounter obstruction when moving towards the preset position, after controlling the drive device to drive the odor-proof rod towards the preset position (i.e., after step 140) and before turning off the drive device (i.e., before step 150), as follows... Figure 1 As shown, the garbage bag anti-pinch method of this embodiment further includes the following steps:

[0058] Step 141: Determine if the odor-proof rod is obstructed.

[0059] If it is determined that the odor-proof rod is blocked, continue to step 150, that is, turn off the drive device.

[0060] Step 142: If it is determined that the odor-proof rod is not obstructed, continue to determine whether the odor-proof rod has moved to the preset position. And after determining that the odor-proof rod has moved to the preset position, proceed to step 150.

[0061] Furthermore, it should be noted that when determining whether the odor-proof rod is obstructed, step 141 can be performed in the same way as step 121. Specifically, step 141 includes:

[0062] Calculate the current value of the drive device when the odor-proof rod moves in the direction of the preset position.

[0063] If the calculated current value of the drive device is greater than or equal to the preset current value, the odor-proof rod is determined to be obstructed. If the calculated current value of the drive device is less than the preset current value, the odor-proof rod is determined to be unobstructed.

[0064] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, in this implementation, after determining that the odor-proof rod is blocked, i.e. after step 121, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the garbage bag anti-pinch method of this embodiment further includes the following sub-steps:

[0065] Step 123: Automatically generate and display a prompt message indicating that a reset signal is pending.

[0066] Similarly, after step 141, the garbage bag anti-pinch method of this embodiment may also include the following sub-steps:

[0067] Step 143: Automatically generate and display a prompt message indicating that a reset signal is pending.

[0068] Since the drive mechanism for the odor-preventing rod is shut off when it is obstructed, a prompt message indicating that a reset signal is pending can be automatically generated and displayed to ensure the rod's proper reset. This serves as a reminder to the user to reset the trash can.

[0069] Example 2

[0070] The second embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for preventing the odor-proof clip from clamping garbage bags. The second embodiment is a further improvement upon the first embodiment, and its main improvement lies in, for example... Figure 2 As shown, after determining that the odor-preventing rod has moved to the correct position, i.e., after step 130, or after determining that the odor-preventing rod is not in the preset position for opening the garbage bag opening, i.e., after step 110, and before controlling the drive device to drive the odor-preventing rod to move in the direction of the preset position, i.e., before step 140, the following steps are also included:

[0071] Step 131: Determine whether there are any obstacles on the path of the odor-proof rod as it moves toward the preset position.

[0072] Step 132: If an obstacle is detected, the drive device is turned off, and an obstacle information prompt is automatically generated and displayed.

[0073] If it is determined that there is no obstacle, continue to step 140, that is, control the drive device to drive the odor-proof rod to move in the direction of the preset position.

[0074] As can be seen from the above, before controlling the drive device to move the odor-proof rod to the preset position, it is necessary to determine whether there are any obstacles in the path of the odor-proof rod to the preset position. Specifically, it is necessary to determine whether the path would cause the odor-proof rod to clamp the garbage bag when it reaches the preset position. Furthermore, if an obstacle is detected, meaning there is part of the garbage bag in the path of the odor-proof rod to the preset position, the drive device can be shut off. Simultaneously, an obstacle presence warning is automatically generated and displayed to remind the user to remove the obstacle promptly. This effectively prevents the odor-proof rod from clamping the garbage bag during its reset movement.

[0075] Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the step of determining whether there is an obstacle on the path of the odor-proof rod moving towards the preset position, specifically step 131, includes:

[0076] A light signal is emitted from a light emitting end located at a preset position to a light receiving end located on the odor-proof rod.

[0077] If the light receiver receives the light signal, it determines that there are no obstacles on the path of the odor-proof rod moving to the preset position. If the light receiver does not receive the light signal, it determines that there are obstacles on the path of the odor-proof rod moving to the preset position.

[0078] It is easy to see that in practical applications, a light emitter and a light receiver can be respectively set at the preset position and on the side of the odor-preventing rod relative to the preset position. The light emitter and receiver together constitute a through-beam photoelectric sensor, and both can be electrically connected to the main control module of the trash can. In practical applications, when the odor-preventing rod moves towards the preset position, the light emitter continuously sends light signals to the light receiver. When the light receiver receives the light signal emitted by the light emitter, it indicates that there are no obstacles in the movement path of the odor-preventing rod, meaning the trash bag will not be pulled outside the odor-preventing rod. Conversely, if the light receiver fails to receive the light signal emitted by the light emitter, it indicates that there are obstacles in the movement path of the odor-preventing rod, most likely due to improper user assembly, causing part of the trash bag to be positioned on the movement path of the odor-preventing rod. Therefore, once it is determined that part of the trash bag has been guided onto the movement path of the odor-preventing rod towards the preset position, the main control module can immediately shut down the drive device.

[0079] Example 3

[0080] The third embodiment of the present invention relates to an odor-proof mechanism, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it includes: odor-proof clip 1, drive device 2 and main control module.

[0081] Among them, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the odor-proof clip 1 includes: at least one odor-proof rod 11, a guide rod 12 arranged along a preset straight direction, and the odor-proof rod 11 and the guide rod 12 are slidably connected, so that the odor-proof rod 11 can slide in the preset straight direction.

[0082] Secondly, in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving device 2 is connected to the odor-proof rod 11 and is used to drive the odor-proof rod 11 to slide along a preset straight line direction.

[0083] In addition, in this embodiment, combined with Figure 5 As shown, the main control module is also electrically connected to the drive device 2. This main control module is used to receive reset signals or power-on signals. Furthermore, after receiving the reset signal or power-on signal, the main control module is also used to determine whether the odor-proof rod 11 of the odor-proof clip 1 is in the preset position of opening the garbage bag opening, and when it is determined that the odor-proof rod 11 is in the preset position, it controls the drive device to drive the odor-proof rod to move away from the preset position.

[0084] Furthermore, in this embodiment, combined with Figure 4As shown, the main control module is also used to determine whether the odor-proof rod 11 has moved to the correct position when it moves away from the preset position, and to control the drive device 2 to drive the odor-proof rod 11 to move towards the preset position after determining that the odor-proof rod 11 has moved to the correct position. The main control module is also used to turn off the drive device 2 when the odor-proof rod 11 moves to the preset position to open the garbage bag opening.

[0085] From the above, it is clear that after receiving a reset signal or power-on signal, the main control module of the trash can can determine whether the odor-proof rod 11 of the odor-proof clamp 1 is in the preset position for opening the trash bag opening. Once the main control module determines that the odor-proof rod 11 is in the preset position for opening the bag opening, it means that the odor-proof rod is at the edge of the trash can's opening side. At this time, there is a possibility that the trash bag may be caught on the outside of the odor-proof rod, making it impossible to pull out. Therefore, in order to avoid affecting the odor-proof clamp when tightening the trash bag, the main control module controls the drive device 2 to drive the odor-proof rod 11 away from the preset position, so that the odor-proof rod 11 does not touch the edge. Figure 4 As shown, if a garbage bag gets caught on the outside of the odor-proof rod 11, the user can easily pull it out. Simultaneously, once the odor-proof rod 11 is in position, the main control module controls the drive device 2 to move the odor-proof rod 11 towards a preset position. When the odor-proof rod 11 reaches the preset position, the main control module shuts off the drive device 2, thus returning the odor-proof rod 11 to its original position. Therefore, this avoids damage to the garbage bag and does not affect the odor-proof clamp 1 when tightening the garbage bag.

[0086] Specifically, in order for the main control module to accurately determine whether the odor-proof rod is in the preset position for opening the garbage bag opening, in this embodiment, as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a detection module 3 can be set at a preset position when the garbage bag opening is opened, and in conjunction with, Figure 5 As shown, the detection module is electrically connected to the main control module. For example, the detection module 3 can be a photoelectric sensor. The photoelectric sensor can accurately detect whether there is an odor-proof rod 11 at a preset position when the garbage bag opening is opened. Once the photoelectric sensor detects the presence of the odor-proof rod 11 at the preset position, the main control module can shut down the drive device 2.

[0087] Additionally, it is worth noting that, in order for the drive device 2 to drive the odor-proof rod 11 to move linearly along a preset straight direction, in this embodiment, as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the drive device 2 includes: a motor (not shown in the figure), a main synchronous pulley 21 coaxially connected to the motor's main shaft, a driven synchronous pulley 22 disposed opposite to the main synchronous pulley 21 along a preset straight direction, and a synchronous belt 23 connecting the main synchronous pulley 21 and the driven synchronous pulley 22. Furthermore, the motor is electrically connected to the main control module, and the odor-proof rod 11 is connected to the synchronous belt 23. In practical applications, the main control module can control the motor, enabling it to drive the main synchronous pulley 21 to rotate. The synchronous belt 23, under the rotation of the main synchronous pulley 21, subsequently drives the driven synchronous pulley 22 to rotate, thereby realizing the movement of the odor-proof rod 11 along a preset straight direction.

[0088] It is clear from the above that this embodiment is an example of an odor-prevention mechanism corresponding to the first embodiment, and this embodiment can be implemented in conjunction with the first embodiment. The relevant technical details mentioned in the first embodiment remain valid in this embodiment, and will not be repeated here to avoid repetition. Correspondingly, the relevant technical details mentioned in this embodiment can also be applied to the first embodiment.

[0089] Example 4

[0090] The fourth embodiment of the present invention relates to an odor-proof mechanism. This fourth embodiment is a further improvement upon the third embodiment. The main improvement lies in that, in this embodiment, the main control module is further configured to, after determining that the odor-proof rod 11 has moved to its designated position, and before controlling the drive device 2 to drive the odor-proof rod 11 to move towards the preset position, determine whether there is an obstacle on the path of the odor-proof rod 11 moving towards the preset position. The main control module is also configured to, when determining that an obstacle exists, shut down the drive device 2 and automatically generate and display an information prompt indicating the presence of an obstacle. Furthermore, the main control module is also configured to, when determining that no obstacle exists, continue to control the drive device 2 to drive the odor-proof rod 11 to move towards the preset position.

[0091] In order for the main control module to accurately determine whether there are obstacles on the path of the odor-proof rod 11 as it moves to the preset position, combined with... Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the odor-proof mechanism of this embodiment further includes: a light emitting end 41 and a light receiving end 42, and, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the light emitting end 41 and the light receiving end 42 together constitute a through-beam photoelectric sensor 4. The light emitting end 41 can be positioned in a preset position and electrically connected to the main control module. This light emitting end 41 is used to emit light signals to the odor-proof rod 11. Simultaneously, the light receiving end 42 can be positioned on the odor-proof rod 11 and electrically connected to the main control module. The light receiving end 42 and the light emitting end 41 are on the same axis, and the light receiving end 42 is used to receive the light signals emitted by the light emitting end 41.

[0092] In practical applications, when the light receiver 42 receives the light signal emitted by the light transmitter 41, the main control module determines that there is no obstacle 6 on the path of the anti-odor rod 11 moving towards the preset position. Figure 7 As shown, this indicates that the garbage bag was not rolled up to the outside of the odor-proof rod.
