Their main function is to facilitate the centralized management and treatment of garbage in order to maintain environmental hygiene and promote garbage classification and recycling, etc.

[0003] Current outdoor classified trash cans are usually designed with an open structure. Although this design is convenient for people to throw garbage, helps people develop the habit of garbage classification, and has a ventilation effect, which is beneficial to discharging the odor generated in the garbage, the open structure cannot effectively block rainwater, which may cause water accumulation inside the trash can or the garbage to be wet by rainwater. This not only increases the risk of garbage being contaminated, but also may make the garbage more difficult to clean and process. Moreover, when organic garbage is soaked, the odor will be more obvious, affecting the air quality and usage experience of the surrounding environment. Summary of the Utility Model

In addition, terms such as "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0022] As Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, a U-shaped top cover 101 is installed on the top of the trash can body 100. Rain shields 102 are rotatably installed on both sides of the U-shaped top cover 101 through first connecting shafts 103. An inner groove 104 is formed inside the U-shaped top cover 101, and the ends of the first connecting shafts 103 penetrate into the inner groove 104. A motor 105 is installed on the outer surface of the U-shaped top cover 101. The end of the output shaft of the motor 105 is installed with a first bevel gear 106. A transmission mechanism 200 is arranged between the first bevel gear 106 and the two first connecting shafts 103. The transmission mechanism 200 can drive the two rain shields 102 to flip simultaneously. Through the transmission of the transmission mechanism 200, when the motor 105 is started, the purpose of driving the two rain shields 102 to flip simultaneously can be achieved, so as to cover or open the garbage inlet. A rain drop sensor 107 is arranged on the upper surface of the U-shaped top cover 101. A processor is arranged inside the rain drop sensor 107. The processor is electrically connected to the motor 105. The rain drop sensor 107 can detect rainwater. When it detects rain, it can automatically control the motor 105 to start and drive the rain shields 102 to cover the garbage inlet.

[0023] The transmission mechanism 200 includes a rotating shaft 201 rotatably installed inside the inner groove 104. A second bevel gear 202 is sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 201, and the second bevel gear 202 is meshed with the first bevel gear 106. Third bevel gears 203 are sleeved on both sides in the length direction of the second bevel gear 202. Fourth bevel gears 204 are installed at the ends of the two first connecting shafts 103. The third bevel gears 203 are meshed with the fourth bevel gears 204. When the motor 105 is started to drive the first bevel gear 106 to rotate, since the first bevel gear 106 is meshed with the second bevel gear 202, the rotating shaft 201 can be driven to rotate. The rotating shaft 201 drives the two third bevel gears 203 on its surface to rotate. Since the third bevel gears 203 are meshed with the fourth bevel gears 204, the two first connecting shafts 103 can be driven to rotate in the opposite direction simultaneously, so as to achieve the purpose of driving the two rain shields 102 to flip.

[0024] The surface of the rain shield 102 is provided with a plurality of notches 300. Inside the notches 300, a flap 301 is rotatably installed through a second connecting shaft 302. Installation grooves 303 are formed on both inner walls of the notches 300, and the ends of the second connecting shaft 302 are arranged in the installation grooves 303. A torsion spring 304 is sleeved on the outer surface of the second connecting shaft 302. The two ends of the torsion spring 304 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the installation groove 303 and the second connecting shaft 302. A handle 305 is installed on the outer surface of the flap 301. When the rain shield 102 is flipped to the vertical state to close the garbage chute and prevent rainwater from entering, if people still need to throw garbage during rain, the handle 305 can be pulled to open the flap 301, so that garbage can be thrown. After the garbage is thrown, under the action of gravity and the torsion of the torsion spring 304, the flap 301 can be restored to the vertical state to block rainwater. When the rain shield 102 is flipped to the horizontal state and fits against the lower surface of the U-shaped top cover 101, due to the torsion of the torsion spring 304, the flap 301 can be in a state close to horizontal, ensuring that the flap 301 does not block the garbage chute and keeping the garbage chute in an open state.

[0025] A solar panel 400 is arranged on the upper surface of the U-shaped top cover 101, and a storage battery 401 is arranged on the outer surface of the U-shaped top cover 101. The solar panel 400 is electrically connected to the storage battery 401. The solar panel 400 can convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it in the storage battery 401, so as to provide power support for the rain drop sensor 107 and the motor 105 without connecting to an external power source.

[0026] A protective cover 500 is installed on the outer surface of the U-shaped top cover 101. The protective cover 500 is arranged outside the motor 105 and the storage battery 401. Through the arrangement of the protective cover 500, the motor 105 and the storage battery 401 can be protected from being damaged by rainwater and the external environment.

[0027] Support feet 600 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the trash can body 100. Through the arrangement of the support feet 600, the bottom of the trash can body 100 can be supported, so that there is a gap between the bottom of the trash can body 100 and the ground, thus preventing the bottom of the trash can body 100 from being soaked in water for a long time due to ground water accumulation, resulting in rust and corrosion, and improving the service life.

[0028] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows:

[0029] During use, the motor 105 controls the two rain shields 102 to flip to the horizontal state and fit with the lower surface of the U-shaped top cover 101. At this time, the garbage disposal opening is in an open state, facilitating people to dispose of garbage. The rain droplet sensor 107 detects rainwater. When the rain droplet sensor 107 detects rainwater, the processor controls the motor 105 to start. The motor 105 drives the first bevel gear 106 to rotate. Since the first bevel gear 106 meshes with the second bevel gear 202, the rotating shaft 201 can be driven to rotate. The rotating shaft 201 drives the two third bevel gears 203 on its surface to rotate. Since the third bevel gear 203 meshes with the fourth bevel gear 204, the two first connecting shafts 103 can be driven to rotate in the opposite direction simultaneously, causing the two rain shields 102 to flip to the vertical state simultaneously and block the garbage disposal opening to prevent rainwater from entering. If people still need to dispose of garbage during rain, they can pull the handle 305 to open the flap 301, so that garbage can be disposed of. Subsequently, under the action of gravity and the torsion of the torsion spring 304, the flap 301 can return to the vertical state to continue blocking rainwater.

[0030] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of the rights of the present invention. Therefore, modifications, equivalent changes, improvements, etc. made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention still fall within the scope covered by the present invention.
