Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intelligent trash cans, in particular to a sensing mechanism of an outdoor intelligent trash can and the intelligent trash can. Background Art

[0002] The existing trash can is a common daily necessity for storing domestic garbage. The smart trash can is a smart product that uses a sensor to open and close without manual operation.

[0003] Compared with ordinary trash cans, the structure of smart trash cans has added electronic parts and mechanical drive parts. The electronic part usually includes IC and sensor, and the mechanical drive part is used to drive the lid of the trash can to open and close.

[0004] The existing smart trash cans have electronic structures and mechanical drive structures built into them. Although they have a precise structure and a high degree of induction, they are not commonly seen in large outdoor trash cans. This is mainly because large outdoor trash cans are heavily loaded and opened and closed many times a day. If smart trash cans are used, their cost and service life will be high.

[0005] In the patent field, for example, an invention application with application publication number CN 112441352 A and titled "An Outdoor Intelligent Trash Can" discloses an outdoor intelligent trash can; it includes an outer barrel frame and an inner barrel body, and utilizes a coupling mechanism to cooperate with a rotating rod and a rotating pipe shaft. When the coupling mechanism connects the rotating rod and the rotating pipe shaft, the driving support mechanism can drive the arc baffle to rotate intelligently, and the cleaning personnel do not need to rotate the arc baffle to realize the upward sliding extension of the inner barrel body.

[0006] As can be seen from the above, the design of existing outdoor smart trash cans mainly focuses on integrating the sensing mechanism and the driving mechanism into the trash can. During the use of the trash can, the sensing mechanism and the driving mechanism cannot be used alone, and the barrel body cannot be replaced, and its cost and service life are low. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art outdoor intelligent trash cans, such as high cost, inability to recycle structural components, and short service life, the utility model proposes a sensing mechanism of an outdoor intelligent trash can and an intelligent trash can, and the detailed technical scheme is as follows:

[0009] Furthermore, the sensing mechanism is a "7"-shaped structure; the base is made of a "T"-shaped steel sheet, covering the lower surface of the column.

[0010] Furthermore, the column is a rectangular hollow column structure, the upper end of which is welded or bolted to the crossbeam, and the lower end of which abuts against the base and is welded to the base through a triangular steel sheet.

[0011] Furthermore, an upper surface of the sensing module protrudes from an upper surface of the beam.

[0012] Furthermore, the driving module includes a linear motor, a mounting plate, a fixed column, a rotating shaft, and a rotating rod; the mounting plate is bolted to the inside of the column; the linear motor is located in the middle of the mounting plate and is connected to the mounting plate through the fixed column.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotating rod includes a rotating part located at the bottom, a transmission part integrally formed with the rotating part, and a stretching part located at the top.

[0014] Furthermore, the rotating part and the transmission part are both formed by welding rectangular steel pipes, and two adjacent cross sections of the rotating part and the transmission part are welded by rectangular steel sheets.

[0015] Furthermore, a shaft hole is provided at one end of the transmission part close to the rotating part, and two ends of the shaft pass through the shaft hole and are fixedly connected to the mounting plate.

[0016] Furthermore, one end of the stretching part is connected to the transmission part, and the other end is in a trumpet shape and a hook is provided on the lower surface.

[0017] A smart trash can comprises the above-mentioned sensing mechanism and a trash can body with a cover located on one side of the sensing mechanism; the sensing mechanism can drive the cover body above the trash can body to open or close.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model proposes a sensing mechanism for an outdoor smart trash can, which realizes the intelligent response of the trash can through a separately arranged sensing mechanism; on the basis of not affecting the original structure of the outdoor trash can, the smart trash can can be upgraded by separately configuring a sensing mechanism and a rope, thereby reducing the cost of the smart trash can and improving the service life of the structure and the product turnover rate.

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0030] A smart trash can, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a sensing mechanism 100 and a barrel body 200 located on both sides of the sensing mechanism 100; the sensing mechanism 100 drives the cover body above the barrel body 200 to open or close through a chain.

[0031] The utility model mainly designs an external sensing mechanism 100 based on retaining the structure of the original outdoor trash can, and utilizes the sensing mechanism 100 to drive the trash can to move. During use, if the trash can itself is damaged or transported, the trash can can be directly replaced to increase the overall use effect of the structure.

[0032] The structure of the sensing mechanism 100 is as follows: Figure 2As shown, the whole is in the shape of a "7", and includes a base 110, a column 120, a beam 130, a sensing module 140, and a driving module 150 from bottom to top. The base 110 is made of a "T"-shaped steel sheet, which covers the lower surface of the column 120 and extends outward. The three free ends of the "T"-shaped steel sheet are provided with mounting holes, which can be fixedly connected to the ground by bolt fasteners. The column 120 is a rectangular hollow column structure, the upper end of which is welded or bolted to one end of the beam 130, and the lower end abuts the base 110 and is welded to the base 110 through a triangular steel sheet. The sensing module 140 is provided at one end of the beam 130 away from the column 120, and the upper surface of the sensing module 140 protrudes from the upper surface of the beam 130.

[0033] The structure of the driving module 150 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes a linear motor 151, a mounting plate 152, a fixed column 153, a rotating shaft 154, and a rotating rod 155. The mounting plate 152 is bolted to the inside of the column 120, and is used to connect the drive module 150 with the inner wall of the column 120. The mounting plate 152 itself forms an installation space for the linear motor 151, the fixed column 153, and the rotating shaft 154. The linear motor 151 is located in the middle of the mounting plate 152 and is connected to the ball bearing through the fixed column 153 and is engaged with the mounting plate 152.

[0034] The structure of the rotating rod 155 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, it includes a rotating part 1551 at the bottom, a transmission part 1552 integrally formed with the rotating part 1551, and a stretching part 1553 at the top. The rotating part 1551 and the transmission part 1552 can both be formed by welding rectangular steel pipes. In order to increase the connection stability of the structure, the two adjacent sections of the rotating part 1551 and the transmission part 1552 can be welded by rectangular steel sheets. One end of the rotating part 1551 is connected to the transmission part 1552, and the other end is used to contact the linear motor 151 to realize the rotation of the structure. A shaft hole 1554 is provided at one end of the transmission part 1552 close to the rotating part 1551, and both ends of the shaft 154 pass through the shaft hole 1554 and are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 152. One end of the stretching part 1553 is connected to the transmission part 1552, and the other end is in a trumpet shape, and a hook 1555 is provided on the lower surface.

[0035] The movement process of the rotating rod 155 is as follows Figure 5As shown, the linear motor 151 receives the signal from the sensing module 140. When a human body approaches, the output shaft of the linear motor 151 moves upward and abuts against the lower surface of the rotating part 1551. One end of the rotating part 1551 rotates upward with the linear motor 151. Due to the existence of the rotating shaft 141, when the rotating part 1551 rotates upward, the transmission part 1552 drives the stretching part 1553 to rotate around the rotating shaft in a counterclockwise direction. The hook 1555 of the stretching part 1553 can be connected to the upper cover of the barrel body 200 through a steel rope or a chain, thereby completing the intelligent opening of the trash can. The closing process of the trash can is similar to the opening process, and will not be repeated.

[0036] It should be noted that when the sensing mechanism 100 is in a stationary state, the rotating portion 1551 of the rotating rod 155 is located inside the column 120, and the stretching portion 1553 is located on the beam 130. At the same time, in order to adapt to the rotation process of the transmission portion 1552, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the cross beam 130 is provided with an opening at one end close to the column 120, and the back of the column 120 is also provided with an opening for the transmission part 1552 to rotate. In order to prevent the rotation rod 155 from being displaced too much during the rotation process, a limiter is provided on the back of the column 120 to prevent the rotation rod 155 from rotating too much and being unable to recover.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
