BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of an intelligent trash can of the present utility model.

[0026] Figure 2 for Figure 1 Cross-sectional view of AA in the figure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:

[0028] The reference numerals in the drawings of the specification include: barrel body 1, delivery tube 2, drive platform 3, servo motor 4, output shaft 5, fixed sleeve 6, rotating cylinder 7, closing plate 8, telescopic pump 9, telescopic rod 10, storage tank 11, garbage box 12, filter screen 13, waste liquid storage box 14.

[0029] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, an intelligent trash can includes a barrel body 1, a feed port for garbage input is provided on the barrel body 1, a rotatable rotating drum 7 is provided in the barrel body 1, a driving device for controlling the rotation angle of the rotating drum 7 is provided on the barrel body 1, the barrel mouth of the rotating drum 7 corresponds to the feed port, an image acquisition device is provided on the inner wall of the rotating drum 7, the bottom of the rotating drum 7 has a discharge port, an opening and closing switch capable of closing the discharge port is provided in the discharge port, and several trash boxes 12 are evenly distributed in the barrel body 1 and below the rotating drum 7, and the several trash boxes 12 are used to store different types of garbage; it also includes a microprocessor, which is electrically connected to the driving device, the image acquisition device and the opening and closing switch respectively.

[0030] This embodiment is cleverly designed. An image acquisition device is used to collect image information of garbage thrown into the rotating drum 7 through the feed port, and the image information is sent to a microprocessor. The microprocessor uses the color features and texture features in the image information to identify the type of garbage and sends a rotation instruction to the drive device. The drive device controls the rotation angle of the rotating drum 7 according to the rotation instruction, so that the garbage in the rotating drum 7 rotates to the position of the garbage box 12 corresponding to the type of garbage. Then, the microprocessor sends an instruction to the opening and closing switch. After the opening and closing switch is turned on, the discharge port of the rotating drum 7 is opened, so that the garbage in the rotating drum 7 is directly thrown into the corresponding garbage box 12, which can realize the identification and classification of the thrown garbage and put the classified garbage into the corresponding garbage box 12.

[0031] The driving device includes a driving platform 3 arranged on the top of the barrel body 1, and a servo motor 4 is installed in the driving platform 3. The output shaft 5 of the servo motor 4 faces the inside of the barrel body 1. Several garbage boxes 12 are wrapped around the circumference of the output shaft 5 of the servo motor 4. A fixing sleeve 6 is provided on the output shaft 5. A connecting rod is extended outward on one side of the fixing sleeve 6, and the end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the rotating cylinder 7.

[0032] This embodiment uses a servo motor 4 to drive the output shaft 5 to rotate. The output shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating drum 7 through a fixed sleeve 6 and a connecting rod, thereby driving the rotating drum 7 to rotate to a specified position, making it convenient for the garbage in the rotating drum 7 to be put into the corresponding garbage box 12.

[0033] See also Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a delivery tube 2 extending toward the rotating cylinder 7 is installed in the feed port, and both sides of the barrel mouth of the rotating cylinder 7 extend upward to form extension plates, which correspond to the side faces of the delivery tube 2. The barrel mouth of the rotating cylinder 7 corresponds to the barrel mouth of the delivery tube 2 and there is a gap.

[0034] This embodiment uses a delivery tube 2 extending toward the inside of the rotating drum 7 to extend the feed port, so that the garbage can be accurately delivered into the rotating drum 7. At the same time, the extension plates on both sides of the barrel mouth of the rotating drum 7 are combined to achieve the position correspondence between the rotating drum 7 and the delivery tube 2, thereby ensuring that the barrel mouth of the rotating drum 7 and the position of the barrel mouth of the delivery tube 2 correspond to each other, and there is a gap between the two while corresponding to each other. This ensures that after the garbage is delivered, the delivery tube 2 will not block the rotating drum 7 from rotating around the driving device during the process of the driving device driving the rotating drum 7 to rotate.

[0035] Secondly, the opening and closing switch includes two horizontally arranged closing plates 8. When the two closing plates 8 are combined, they close the discharge port of the rotating cylinder 7, or when they are separated, they open the discharge port of the rotating cylinder 7. The two sides of the two closing plates 8 facing away from each other are each connected to a telescopic pump 9 fixed on the rotating cylinder 7. Both sides of the discharge port of the rotating cylinder 7 are respectively provided with a receiving groove 11 for accommodating the closing plate 8. The telescopic pump 9 is provided with a telescopic rod 10 extending toward the receiving groove 11 and passing through the receiving groove 11. The free end of the telescopic rod 10 is fixedly connected to the closing plate 8.

[0036] In this embodiment, the telescopic pumps 9 on both sides of the rotating drum 7 respectively control the connected closing plates 8. When the on-off switch is turned on, the telescopic rod 10 of the telescopic pump 9 drives the closing plates 8 to retract into the receiving groove 11, thereby exposing the discharge port, making it convenient for the garbage in the rotating drum 7 to be put into the classified garbage box 12; conversely, the telescopic rod 10 of the telescopic pump 9 will drive the closing plates 8 to extend from the receiving groove 11 and close with the adjacent closing plates 8, thereby closing the discharge port of the rotating drum 7, so that the garbage is located in the rotating drum 7, making it convenient for the image acquisition device to collect image information of the garbage.

[0037] At the same time, an inclined surface is provided on the wall above the discharge port of the rotating drum 7. This embodiment utilizes the inclined surface to connect the feeding position and the discharge position of the rotating drum 7, and guides the garbage to the discharge port through the inclined surface, so that the garbage can fall from the rotating drum 7 into the corresponding garbage box 12.

[0038] See also Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, a filter 13 is provided at the bottom of the trash bin 12. A waste liquid storage box 14 is provided directly below each trash bin 12 and located on the inner bottom of the barrel 1. The waste liquid storage box 14 is used to collect trash and waste liquid. In this embodiment, the filter 13 is provided at the bottom of each trash bin 12 to facilitate solid-liquid separation of the input trash, and the waste liquid is recovered through the waste liquid storage box 14.

[0039] This embodiment realizes automatic identification and placement of garbage. The image information collected is sent to the microprocessor through the image acquisition device. The microprocessor identifies the type of garbage put in and controls the servo motor 4 to drive the rotating drum 7 to rotate an angle so that the rotating drum 7 rotates to the garbage box 12 corresponding to the type of garbage. The microprocessor then issues an instruction to start the telescopic pump 9, so that the discharge port of the rotating drum 7 opens, allowing the garbage to be directly put into the garbage box 12 corresponding to the type of garbage, thereby realizing automatic placement into the garbage box 12 of the corresponding type. At the same time, since all garbage is classified and put in, combined with the design of solid-liquid separation, the fermentation odor generated between garbage is reduced, and it is also convenient to clean different types of garbage boxes 12 and waste liquid storage boxes 14.
