[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cover 10 is equipped with a gesture recognition unit, and the bin 20 is equipped with a garbage bag pressing unit, a garbage bag shaping unit, a garbage weighing unit, and a cooling unit.

[0024] The intelligent kitchen waste treatment system based on pneumatic-assisted automatic bagging and multimodal interaction also includes a main controller (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the gesture recognition unit, garbage bag shaping unit, garbage weighing unit and cooling unit.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the gesture recognition unit is a gesture sensor array composed of several gesture sensors 11.

[0026] It should be noted that the gesture sensor 11 is a thermal sensor, a light sensor, or a millimeter-wave sensor. The operation of the gesture recognition unit will be further explained later.

[0027] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the garbage bag pressing unit is located on the top of the bin body 20. The garbage bag pressing unit includes a pressing frame 23, which includes a U-shaped pressing frame body 231. The pressing frame body 231 is provided with a flip-up pressing bracket 233.

[0028] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the garbage bag shaping unit includes an upper fan 211 and a lower fan 212. Both the upper fan 211 and the lower fan 212 are installed on the inner wall of the bin 20. The airflow direction of the upper fan 211 and the lower fan 212 is towards the top of the bin 20. The airflow generated by the upper fan 211 and the lower fan 212 cooperates with the preset inner bin air hole 241 on the inner bin 24 and forms a low-pressure zone around the inner bin 24.

[0029] The garbage bag covering unit is provided with a through air outlet window 234, and the air outlet of the upper fan 211 is located in the air outlet window 234.

[0030] The waste weighing unit includes a first tray 213 for placing the inner bin and a first gravity sensor 214, which is located at the bottom of the first tray 213.

[0031] It should be noted that the cooling unit is configured as either a compressor cooler 25 or a semiconductor cooler. This cooling unit is typically located at the bottom of a smart food waste processing system based on pneumatically assisted automatic bagging and multimodal interaction.

[0032] The intelligent kitchen waste treatment system based on pneumatically assisted automatic bagging and multimodal interaction also includes a deodorization unit, which includes at least one of a deodorization spraying component and an ozone-negative ion generator 13.

[0033] The deodorizing spray assembly includes a nozzle 12, a storage tank 26, and a pump body 14. The ozone-negative ion generator 13 and the nozzle 12 are disposed on the lower surface of the cover 10, and the storage tank 26 and the pump body 14 are disposed inside the tank 20.

[0034] It should be noted that the storage tank 26 is filled with a beneficial bacteria solution. This beneficial bacteria solution is a compound preparation of lactic acid bacteria and Bacillus.

[0035] In addition, the bottom of the liquid storage tank 26 is provided with a second tray 261 and a second gravity sensor 261.

[0036] In addition, the intelligent kitchen waste treatment system based on pneumatically assisted automatic bagging and multimodal interaction is also equipped with an ammonia sensor and a hydrogen sulfide sensor (not shown in the figure) to monitor the odor concentration of the bin 20.

[0037] In addition, the intelligent kitchen waste treatment system based on pneumatic-assisted automatic bagging and multimodal interaction is also equipped with a positioning module, which uses GPS or Beidou positioning system for intelligent positioning of the treatment system.

[0038] The following describes the working principle of the intelligent kitchen waste treatment system based on pneumatic-assisted automatic bagging and multimodal interaction, including the following steps: Step S1: Open the lid 10 using a gesture, remove the inner bin 24, remove the old garbage bag D, and replace it with a new garbage bag D. At this point, slightly fold the edge of the opening of the garbage bag D outwards, and use the pressing bracket 233 to press the edge of the opening of the garbage bag D in place. Figure 9 As shown, at this time, the garbage bag D cannot be tightly attached to the inner wall of the inner bin 24; Step S2: Close the cover 10 via gesture or a preset closing response time (usually 5 seconds). The upper fan 211 and lower fan 212 are activated, generating an upward airflow, such as... Figure 7 The direction is shown as F1 in the diagram. Figure 8 As shown, due to the airflow, a low-pressure zone M is formed between the inner barrel 24 and the inner wall of the outer shell 21. Consequently, the garbage bag D expands outward and adheres tightly to the inner wall of the inner barrel 24, thus shaping the garbage bag D. Figure 10 As shown. It should be noted that after the cover 10 is closed, the air conditioning unit can start simultaneously or with a delay; Step S3: The first gravity sensor 214 monitors the weight of the garbage in the inner bucket 24 in real time. Once the weight exceeds the preset value, the main controller sends the garbage removal warning information to the central control platform or user through the wireless network, notifying the central control platform or user to remove the garbage in time. Step S4 involves using an ammonia sensor and a hydrogen sulfide sensor to monitor the odor concentration in the bin 20. If the concentration exceeds a preset value, the ozone-negative ion generator 13, nozzle 12, and pump 14 are activated. The nozzle 12 sprays the beneficial bacteria solution from the storage tank 26 onto the waste in the inner bin 24 below. Simultaneously, the ozone-negative ion generator 13 produces ozone and negative ions to purify the air. During the spraying process, the second gravity sensor 261 monitors the weight of the storage tank 26 in real time. If the solution is low, information is sent to the central control platform or user via a wireless network to replenish the beneficial bacteria solution promptly. It should be noted that the amount of solution sprayed by the nozzle 12 can be determined based on the actual weight of the waste obtained by the first gravity sensor 214, or it can be sprayed at preset times.

[0039] The gesture operation in step S1 will be further explained below.

[0040] Users can customize gestures on the mobile app, or select or set them directly on the trash can.

[0041] like Figure 11 As shown, the cover 20 can only be opened when the user slides their hand longitudinally along direction F2.

[0042] like Figure 12 As shown, the cover 20 can only be opened when the user slides their hand horizontally along direction F3.

[0043] like Figure 13 As shown, the cover 20 can only be opened when the user slides their hand diagonally along direction F4.

[0044] Figure 14 As shown, the cover 20 can only be opened when the user rotates and slides their hand along direction R1.

[0045] By utilizing the array of gesture sensors 11, accidental operation of the lid can be effectively prevented, power consumption can be reduced, and odor leakage from the trash can can be avoided.

[0046] In step S3, after receiving the waste removal warning, the central control platform or user marks the location of the equipment and, in conjunction with the weight data and location information of other intelligent processing systems in the area, plans the optimal waste removal route using the Dijkstra algorithm to reduce empty mileage.

[0047] This intelligent kitchen waste treatment system, based on pneumatic-assisted automatic bagging and multimodal interaction, enables non-contact multi-command control through user-defined hand gesture paths. Combining low-temperature preservation, chemical decomposition, and biological antibacterial mechanisms for synergistic deodorization, the system achieves intelligent optimization and significantly improves the efficiency of garbage bin usage.

[0048] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this application, but do not limit the patent scope of this application.
