[0039] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this case provides an electric infrared induction trash can, including a body 100, a lid 120, a swing assembly 200 and an electric module 300. The side end of the lid 120 is provided with a swing assembly 200, and the body 100 and the lid 120 are hinged to each other through the swing assembly 200. An electric module 300 is provided on the side wall of the barrel body 100, and the electric module 300 includes an installation shell 310, a base plate 320, a driving motor 330, a transmission gear set 340 and a transmission rod set 350. The back end of the installation shell 310 is provided with a base plate 320 vertically arranged therewith, and a driving motor 330 is provided in the installation shell 310, and an output end of the driving motor 330 is connected to one end of the transmission gear set 340, and the other end of the transmission gear set 340 is connected to the transmission rod set 350. The output end of the transmission rod set 350 is connected to the swing assembly 200, which is used to drive the swing assembly 200 to drive the barrel cover 120 to rotate up and down. The upper end of the barrel cover 120 is also provided with an infrared sensing area 130 for triggering the electric module 300.

[0040] Specifically, the user only needs to block the infrared sensing area 130, and the electric module 300 will automatically open or close the lid 120 of the trash can. No manual operation is required, providing a more convenient and quicker user experience. The lid is opened by sensing from directly above, and the lid is closed by a countdown of 3 seconds after opening. When the infrared sensing area 130 is sensed, the output end of the drive motor 330 is transmitted to the transmission gear set 340. After a series of meshing transmissions, the transmission gear set 340 drives the transmission rod set 350, and the transmission rod set 350 then drives the lid 120 to achieve the flip function. The structure is simple and efficient.

[0041] In another embodiment of the utility model, Figure 4As shown, the transmission gear set 340 includes a driving gear 341 and a driven gear 342, the driving gear 341 is connected to the output end of the driving motor 330, the driven gear 342 is hinged to the driving gear 341, and the middle end of the driven gear 342 is connected to the rotating shaft 400 that rotates synchronously with it. Specifically, through the coordinated work of the transmission gear set 340, the rotational power of the driving motor 330 is transmitted to the driven gear 342 and the rotating shaft 400, and the hinge mechanism therebetween ensures the continuity and synchronization of the rotation. Therefore, when the driving motor 330 rotates, the driven gear 342 and the rotating shaft 400 will rotate accordingly, thereby driving the swing assembly 200 of the trash can cover 120 to rotate up and down, thereby realizing the opening and closing action of the trash can cover 120, and the structure is simple and efficient.

[0042] In another embodiment of the utility model, the transmission rod group 350 includes a swing rod 351 and a connecting rod 352. One end of the swing rod 351 is connected to the rotating shaft 400 and rotates synchronously therewith, and the other end is connected to the connecting rod 352. The swing rod 351 and the connecting rod 352 can be freely swung; the other end of the connecting rod 352 is connected to the swing assembly 200 to drive the swing assembly 200 to rotate up and down. Specifically, the transmission rod group 350 structure adopts a double connecting rod 352 structure, which saves labor and electricity. When the infrared sensing area 130 is sensed directly above, the motor receives the signal and the transmission gear drives the swing rod 351, the swing rod 351 drives the connecting rod 352, and the connecting rod 352 drives the barrel cover 120 to achieve the flip function. The structure is simple and efficient.

[0043] In another embodiment of the utility model, the swing assembly 200 includes a power shaft 210, a fixed plate 211 and an arc-shaped cover body 220. The arc-shaped cover body 220 is connected to the barrel cover 120. The power shaft 210 is arranged inside the arc-shaped cover body 220. A fixed plate 211 is arranged between the power shaft 210 and the arc-shaped cover body 220. The outer surface of the arc-shaped cover body 220 is an arc-shaped structure. One end of the connecting rod 352 extends out of the base plate 320 and extends into the arc-shaped cover body 220 in sequence to connect the power shaft 210. The barrel cover 120 is also provided with an extension portion 121 in the direction of the arc-shaped cover body 220. The barrel cover 120 is driven to rotate by sliding the extension portion 121 on the mounting shell 310. Specifically, the fixing plate 211 is used to fix the power shaft 210 in the arc-shaped cover body 220, and the connecting rod 352 transmits power to the power shaft 210 to pull up and down, and the arc-shaped cover body 220 rotates under the force, so that the extension part 121 and then the entire barrel cover 120 realizes the flip cover function.

[0044] In another embodiment of the utility model, a bag pressing ring 110 is provided between the barrel cover 120 and the barrel body 100. The bag pressing ring 110 has a movable shaft 111 running along the power shaft 210. The arc-shaped cover body 220 is connected to rotate around the movable shaft 111. Both ends of the movable shaft 111 are connected to rotate with the limiting part 112 on the side end of the arc-shaped cover body 220. The top of the limiting part 112 is provided with a first connecting protrusion 113, and the position close to the bag pressing ring 110 is provided with a second connecting protrusion 114. The first connecting protrusion 113 abuts against the second connecting protrusion 114 to limit the rotation of the bag pressing ring 110. Specifically, when the user manually opens the bag pressing ring 110 and the barrel cover 120 to 85±2°, the arc-shaped cover body 220 rotates around the limiting part 112 of the bag pressing ring 110. At a certain point, the first connecting protrusion 113 abuts against the second abutting protrusion so that the bag pressing ring 110 will not fall down. The structure is simple and efficient.

[0045] In another embodiment of the utility model, the rotating shaft 400 passes through the base plate 320 and forms two symmetrical sections. Both ends of the rotating shaft 400 are provided with a synchronously rotating rotating disk 410, and a protrusion 420 is provided on the rotating disk 410. A torsion spring 430 fixing hook (not indicated) is also provided inside the mounting shell 310. One end of a torsion spring 430 is installed on the protrusion 420, and the other end of the torsion spring 430 is connected to the torsion spring 430 fixing hook. Specifically, the two torsion springs 430 use the principle of leverage to tilt the barrel cover 120, so that the barrel cover 120 is basically in a suspended state, so that the driving motor 330 can drive the work easily. If only one side section of the rotating shaft 400 is provided with a torsion spring 430 and a torsion spring 430 fixing hook, the overall driving performance will be weakened, so the two ends are set to ensure force balance to enhance the driving performance.

[0046] In another embodiment of the utility model, a protruding touch portion 500 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 400 close to the base plate 320, a micro switch 510 is installed at one end of the base plate 320 close to the touch portion 500, and a metal sheet 520 with elasticity is connected to the micro switch 510. When the touch portion 500 rotates, it touches the metal sheet 520, and the metal sheet 520 touches the body of the micro switch 510 to stop the drive motor 330 and maintain the state. Specifically, the angle between the barrel body 100 and the barrel cover 120 ranges from 0° to 85±2°. When the barrel cover 120 is opened to 85±2°, the touch portion 500 squeezes the metal sheet 520 and touches the micro switch 510. The micro switch 510 cuts off the operation of the drive motor 330 and maintains the state, and then contacts the micro switch 510 to cut off the power supply to protect the drive motor 330.

[0047] When the barrel cover 120 is closed to 0°, the touch portion 500 squeezes the metal sheet 520 and touches the micro switch 510. The micro switch 510 cuts off the operation of the drive motor 330 and maintains the state, which will contact the micro switch 510 to cut off the power to protect the drive motor 330.

[0048] In another embodiment of the utility model, the angle between the barrel body 100 and the barrel cover 120 ranges from 0° to 85±2°.
