Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of trash cans, and in particular relates to a household intelligent trash can which can realize automatic classification and compression of trash. Background Art
[0002] In today's society, with the improvement of living standards, the enhancement of environmental awareness and the promotion of garbage classification policies, garbage classification has gradually become popular. The coverage rate of garbage classification in residential areas of cities above prefecture level has reached 92.6%. While garbage classification has achieved remarkable results, it also faces some challenges. On the one hand, the classification standards are complicated, and it is difficult to define the attributes of many garbage, which leads to errors in classification. The public lacks environmental awareness and ignores the importance of garbage classification. On the other hand, the existing facilities are still obviously insufficient, which brings certain inconveniences to residents' lives and affects their enthusiasm for garbage classification.
[0003] The design of modern household trash cans mainly focuses on capacity, adaptability to specific scenarios, and integration with the home environment. Although some smart trash cans have added intelligent functions such as automatic sensing opening and full load prompts, they are seriously insufficient in terms of garbage classification. At present, the existing trash cans generally have the following shortcomings: First, most trash cans lack the function of automatically identifying the type of garbage, and users need to rely on their own knowledge to judge the placement, which is prone to errors; second, common trash cans have only one or two storage buckets, which can only adapt to a single scene and collect one type of garbage, and cannot meet the needs of scenes such as kitchens and restaurants that produce multiple types of garbage at the same time; third, some trash cans that consider garbage classification do not consider the limitation of storage space, resulting in frequent cleaning of the trash cans and inconvenience in use; fourth, most trash cans lack drainage design, and the treatment effect of water-containing garbage is poor or cannot be applied. Summary of the invention
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a household intelligent trash can which can realize automatic classification and compression of garbage, so as to solve the problems involved in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0005] The household intelligent trash can capable of garbage classification and compression of the present invention is composed of modules such as a garbage automatic identification device, a garbage dropping device, a garbage classification storage bucket, a garbage classification and compression device, a trash can body, and a drainage device. The trash can is cylindrical in shape, and is divided into an upper cover and a body. The overall cylindrical shape conforms to the public aesthetics and most application scenarios. There are four garbage classification storage buckets in total, which can classify and recycle four types of garbage.
[0006] The trash can body adopts a multi-layer nested structure, and the upper layer is a temporary storage area for garbage. The garbage dropping device realizes the opening and closing of the dropping hole by rotating blades to control the time of garbage dropping. The dropping hole is normally closed and is used to temporarily store the garbage, which is convenient for automatic garbage identification and effectively solves the problem of garbage odor. The garbage automatic identification device is installed in the upper cover and is equipped with a high-resolution camera and an intelligent identification chip. By capturing the image information of the thrown garbage in real time and comparing it with the common garbage image feature database pre-stored in the intelligent identification chip, the image recognition algorithm is used to quickly and accurately determine the category of the garbage. The garbage classification and compression device completes the classification and compression of the garbage. The garbage classification and compression device is equipped with a garbage diversion port and a compression plate, which are symmetrically distributed about the central rotation axis. The garbage diversion port transfers the garbage falling from the dropping hole to the corresponding classification storage bucket, and the compression plate is responsible for compressing the garbage in the classification storage bucket. Accurately put the classified garbage into the bucket and increase the capacity of the trash can. The bottom surface of the storage bucket is inclined toward the center, and the drainage device is arranged in the center of the storage bucket and the trash can body. The device focuses on garbage with water, which can not only make the water in the kitchen waste seep out slowly and flow into the specially equipped detachable water collection box below, but also effectively prevent the outflow of garbage residues. The water collection box is easy to disassemble and clean regularly, so as to keep the overall garbage bin dry and clean and reduce the risk of bacterial growth.
[0007] Through the above series of innovative designs, the present invention can efficiently and accurately realize the recycling and compressed storage of four types of garbage in one bucket, greatly improving the convenience and accuracy of household garbage classification and the utilization rate of garbage storage space.
[0008] Other features and advantages of the present invention are described in detail from the following preferred embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0016] A household intelligent trash can capable of classifying and compressing garbage, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it is divided into an upper cover 2 (such as Figure 2 ), garbage sorting and compression equipment (such as Figure 3 ), garbage dropping device (such as Figure 4 ), garbage classification storage bucket 6, garbage bin body 5 and garbage drainage device (such as Figure 5 ) six parts.
[0017] Preferably, the upper cover 2 of the household intelligent trash can capable of garbage classification and compression is equipped with an automatic garbage identification device 1 for identifying the type of garbage and transmitting the signal to the main controller. Figure 1 The semi-open state shown ensures that the camera field of view in the garbage automatic identification device 1 covers the entire garbage delivery area without a viewing angle, and can also be closed as needed. There is also a master controller in the upper cover 2 to control the working time and duration of each motor of the entire garbage bin to achieve effective and accurate coordination of each part.
[0018] Preferably, the garbage classification and compression device includes a garbage classification pipe 11, a rotating motor 12, a bearing 13, a telescopic pressure rod 14, a compression motor 15 and a pressure plate 16. One side of the garbage classification pipe 11 is provided with a smooth inner curved surface with two ends opened, the upper end is connected to the drop hole of the garbage drop device, and the lower end corresponds to the opening of the garbage classification storage bucket 6. The garbage dropped from the drop hole falls into the corresponding garbage classification storage bucket through this curved surface; the intermediate rotating motor 12 is directly connected to the garbage classification pipe 11, the outer ring of the bearing 13 cooperates with the garbage classification pipe 11, and the inner ring cooperates with the garbage bucket. With the cooperation of the boss on the main body 5, driven by the rotating motor 12, the garbage classification pipe 11 rotates around the central axis of the garbage bin body 5, each time rotating 90 degrees, thereby realizing the corresponding four garbage classification storage bins 6; the other side of the garbage classification pipe 11 is 180 degrees symmetrical to the lower opening of the smooth curved surface for the pressure plate 16, and the pressure plate 16 is threadedly connected to the telescopic pressure rod 14. The compression motor 15 drives the telescopic pressure rod 14 to extend and shorten through the worm gear, so that the pressure plate 16 slides in the garbage classification storage bin 6 along the up and down direction, thereby compressing the garbage in the bin.
[0019] Preferably, the garbage dropping device is installed in the upper shell 4, and includes a pinion 8, an opening motor 9, a compass 10, and 6 blades 3. The upper shell 4 is cylindrical on the outside and conical on the inside, which is used for temporary storage of garbage; the opening motor 9 drives the pinion 8 to mesh with the compass 10 gear to realize the rotation of the compass 10; the 6 blades 3 are symmetrically distributed around the center to close the drop opening, and each blade 3 has two cylindrical pins, a fixed pin is installed in the upper shell 4, and a sliding pin is stuck in the groove on the inside of the compass 10. There are 6 evenly distributed slides on the inside of the compass 10, and the outside is a gear. The rotation of the compass causes the 6 blades 3 to rotate around the fixed pin, and shrink outward under the guidance of the sliding pin, so that the drop opening is opened.
[0020] Preferably, the garbage drain device is designed on the garbage classification storage bucket 6 and the garbage bin body 5. The bottom of the garbage classification storage bucket 6 is tilted toward the center. Two torsion springs are used to flatten the drain pressure plate close to the bottom surface near the center. A cylindrical protrusion is provided near the center 5 of the garbage bin body 5. After the garbage classification storage bucket 6 is installed in place, the protrusion lifts the drain pressure plate, and the water in the garbage classification storage bucket 6 can flow into the water receiving box 7. When cleaning the garbage, the garbage classification storage bucket 6 is taken out, and the drain pressure plate is flattened again under the action of the torsion spring to avoid dripping. A groove handle is provided on the outside of the garbage classification storage bucket 6 for easy operation.
[0021] The method of using the household intelligent trash can that can classify and compress garbage is as follows: the user approaches the trash can with the garbage in hand and puts the garbage into the upper shell 4 of the garbage. The automatic garbage identification device 1 is instantly started, the camera captures the garbage image, and the identification chip quickly determines the type of garbage. The garbage classification and compression device rotates the corresponding garbage classification storage bucket 6 opening under the drive of the rotating motor 12. Then, the opening motor 9 in the garbage dropping device starts to work, so that the 6 blades 3 shrink toward the edge, the dropping opening is opened, and the garbage falls into the garbage classification storage bucket 6. At the same time, the pressing plate 16 compresses and compacts the garbage in the garbage classification storage bucket 6 on the opposite side under the action of the compression motor 15 and the telescopic pressure rod 14. After the garbage is dropped, the dropping device rotates in the opposite direction to close the dropping opening. The water in the water-carrying garbage flows into the water receiving box 7 through the drain hole under the action of compression. The classification storage bucket 6 and the water receiving box 7 can be pulled out and cleaned separately as needed to maintain good hygiene conditions.
[0022] The effective results achieved by the smart trash can that can classify and compress garbage include:
[0023] Accurate classification: The automatic garbage identification module uses advanced image recognition technology to greatly reduce human classification errors and accurately guide garbage to fall into the corresponding storage bin.
[0024] Convenient operation: The garbage sorting and compression device and the garbage dropping device opening work together with the dropping hole. Users do not need to bend over and identify complex barrel openings. Garbage sorting and compression can be automatically achieved, perfectly adapting to different garbage delivery needs and improving the user experience. At the same time, it greatly expands the garbage storage space, reduces the frequency of cleaning, and reduces the burden and increases the efficiency of household garbage disposal.
[0025] Hygienic and environmentally friendly: The drain device and the water tray work together to effectively handle the moisture in the garbage, reduce odor, inhibit bacterial growth, keep the home environment clean and fresh, and extend the service life of the trash can.
