DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] See also Figure 1-5 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a technical solution: an intelligent trash can, comprising a base 1, a main control unit 51 and a power module 52 are provided in the base 1, a shell 2 is provided above the base 1, a plurality of garbage holding spaces are provided in the shell 2, a rotating mechanism 3 is provided above the shell 2, the rotating mechanism 3 includes a lid 31, a delivery port 311 corresponding to the garbage holding space is provided above the lid 31, a camera 53, a lighting lamp 54 and an ambient brightness sensor 55 are provided above the lid 31, and the ambient brightness sensor 55 is used to detect the brightness of the external environment, so as to decide whether to turn on the lighting to supplement the light source for the camera 53 to take pictures.

[0026] The ambient brightness sensor 55, the power module 52 and the main control unit 51 are electrically connected. When it is dark or the light is poor, the ambient brightness sensor 55 gives a signal and the main control unit 51 controls the lighting to turn on, thereby facilitating the camera to take pictures of the garbage. The main control unit 51 can be a single-chip microcomputer.

[0027] Ambient brightness sensors, also known as environmentally friendly photoresistors, are RoHS-compliant, lead-free, and cadmium-free alternatives to CdS photoresistors. Encapsulated in a specially filtered epoxy resin, they offer spectral response characteristics similar to those of the human eye. Their output is linear with varying light levels, exhibiting temperature stability, low dark current, and low operating illumination. They are widely used in various light-controlled circuits, such as controlling and dimming lights and background lighting in televisions, PDAs, cameras, LCD / LED displays, and mobile phones, as well as controlling toys and lighting. Ambient brightness sensors are most sensitive to ambient light and are generally used to detect ambient light brightness.

[0028] In a preferred solution, a solar panel 56 is provided above the lighting lamp 54 . The power module 52 includes a battery, and the solar panel 56 is also used to supply power to the power module 52 .

[0029] The lighting lamp 54 may be an LED lamp.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the rotating mechanism 3 includes a mounting plate 32 arranged above the outer shell 2, and a through hole 321 corresponding to the garbage storage space of the outer shell 2 is provided on the mounting plate 32. An upwardly mounted motor 33 is provided below the mounting plate 32, and a cover 31 is mounted on the rotating shaft of the motor 33. The delivery port 311 on the cover 31 corresponds to the through hole 321.

[0031] One delivery port can be set, and the number of through holes 321 is related to the type of garbage to be classified. The size of the delivery port is the same as or smaller than the size of a through hole 321. In this way, the motor 33 can control the rotation of the cover so that the delivery port 311 is aligned with a through hole 321, so that residents can put the garbage from the delivery port 311 into the corresponding garbage classification box.

[0032] In a preferred solution, protrusions 312 facing the mounting plate are further provided around the cover 31 .

[0033] The protrusion 312 is used to block the gap between the cover 31 and the mounting plate 32 from the outside.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, a column 21 is provided at the center of the interior of the shell 2, and partitions 22 are evenly distributed on the column 21. The partitions 22 divide the interior space of the shell 2 into a plurality of garbage receiving spaces.

[0035] These multiple garbage storage spaces are the storage spaces for garbage classification.

[0036] In a preferred solution, the delivery port 311 is fan-shaped, and the through hole on the mounting plate 32 corresponding to the delivery port 311 is also fan-shaped.

[0037] In a preferred solution, a wireless communication module is further provided on the base 1 , and the wireless communication module is connected to the main control unit 51 .

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, a distance sensor 57 and a temperature sensor 58 are further provided on the mounting plate 32, and are electrically connected to the main control unit. The distance sensor is used to measure the height of the garbage stacking within the housing 2. When the height reaches a certain value, the main control unit sends a message to the backend via the wireless communication module, facilitating backend monitoring of whether the garbage bin is full, thereby notifying the relevant personnel to empty the garbage bin. The temperature sensor 58 is used to measure the temperature within the garbage bin, thereby notifying the backend of whether there is a fire, thereby preventing damage to the garbage bin.

[0039] The distance measuring sensor may be an ultrasonic distance measuring module of HC-SR04.

[0040] The invention patent CN112660655A for classifying garbage through cameras has been introduced and will not be introduced in this article.

[0041] According to the control principle of this device, residents walk towards the trash bin with garbage from outside. When they reach a certain position, the camera automatically takes pictures of the garbage and classifies it, sending a signal to the main control unit 51. The main control unit 51 controls the rotation device 3 to rotate and rotate the delivery port 311 to the top of the corresponding classification storage space, so that residents can directly throw the garbage into the corresponding classification box from the delivery port 311.

[0042] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be the technical solutions set forth in the claims, including equivalent alternatives to the technical features of the technical solutions set forth in the claims. Equivalent alternatives and improvements within this scope are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
