Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of garbage classification, and in particular relates to a solar intelligent garbage bin. Background Art

[0002] In densely populated communities or scenic spots, a large amount of garbage is generated every day. It is usually necessary to place trash cans at specific locations and dispose of the garbage in the trash cans in a timely manner to maintain a good sanitary environment. However, there are many problems with trash cans. Due to different living habits of residents or unreasonable selection of trash can placement points, some trash cans are piled with garbage, while some trash cans are "unattended". Sometimes residents may litter nearby for convenience, which will also affect the community environment. If garbage is not cleaned for a long time, it will cause rotting and stinking, especially in hot weather, the odor will increase, and it is easy to breed bacteria, affecting the surrounding environment and residents' health. For example, in some communities, a large amount of garbage is piled up in the trash cans at the placement points, causing the quality of life of nearby low-rise residents to be seriously affected, such as not daring to open windows, and an increase in mosquitoes and cockroaches. Or, the trash can has a low degree of intelligence, basic functions, and low popularity. Moreover, for special groups such as the elderly and children, complex operations may bring greater inconvenience, and inconvenient trash cans are like virtual, and may even cause worse environmental sanitation problems.
