Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent trash cans, and particularly to an intelligent sorting trash can based on solar charging. Background Art
[0002] With the acceleration of the urbanization process, the output of domestic waste has increased sharply, and intelligent sorting trash cans have become key equipment to improve the efficiency of waste treatment. However, existing intelligent sorting trash cans generally face two major bottlenecks: First, the limitation of energy supply. Traditional devices mostly rely on mains power or disposable batteries for power supply, which is difficult to deploy in public places without grid coverage. Frequent battery replacement also increases the operation and maintenance costs and environmental burden. In some solutions that attempt to use renewable energy, solar panels often have low charging efficiency due to unreasonable design, making it difficult to meet the continuous operation requirements of high-power-consuming components such as cameras and motors. Second, the sorting efficiency and automation level are insufficient. Existing technologies mostly use a single sensor to distinguish garbage, and the sorting accuracy is limited by the sensor accuracy, and parallel processing of multiple pieces of garbage cannot be achieved.
[0003] In addition, the outdoor environment poses higher requirements for the weather resistance and continuous operation ability of the device. Traditional devices are prone to shutdown due to power interruption in rainy weather or at night, and cannot guarantee the continuity of garbage sorting services. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent sorting trash can that integrates efficient solar power supply, multi-sensor collaboration, and automated sorting technology to break through the dual constraints of energy and efficiency and promote the large-scale application of garbage sorting technology.
