Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a household waste container, and more particularly to a rechargeable sensor-activated deodorizing trash can. Background Technology
[0002] As an indispensable necessity in human life, trash cans are evolving towards intelligence with societal development, leading to increased power consumption. Ordinary household dry-cell batteries are no longer sufficient to meet their power requirements. Sensor-activated deodorizing trash cans are one such example. Since their deodorizing and sterilizing functions require a certain amount of time, using ordinary household dry-cell batteries necessitates frequent replacements, which is both environmentally unfriendly and increases operating costs. Therefore, most are powered directly by a power adapter connected to the mains. However, in reality, trash cans are not always located near power outlets, requiring additional wiring, resulting in inconvenience and hindering product promotion. To address these issues, sensor-activated deodorizing trash cans use rechargeable batteries. This eliminates the need for frequent dry-cell battery replacements and solves the location problem. However, even with these alternatives, the rechargeable batteries have limited installation space, resulting in insufficient capacity. Furthermore, the batteries are fixed in a specific location within the trash can, requiring the entire trash can to be moved to a charging outlet for charging, which is also inconvenient. Moreover, since the sensing and deodorizing circuits share the same battery pack, once the batteries are depleted due to the deodorizing function, the sensing function also ceases to work, further complicating operation. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rechargeable sensor-activated deodorizing trash can that is easy to operate and use, and ensures a long power supply time, in order to address the shortcomings of the existing technology.
[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following means:
[0005] A rechargeable sensor-activated deodorizing trash can includes a can body, a sensor circuit assembly, a deodorizing circuit assembly, and a power supply module. Both the sensor circuit assembly and the deodorizing circuit assembly are mounted on the can body. The key structural feature is that the power supply module is an independent component, detachable from the can body. The power supply module includes a rechargeable high-capacity battery pack, a housing for the high-capacity battery pack, a power charging port connected to the input terminal of the high-capacity battery pack, a power output interface connected to the high-capacity battery pack, and a management circuit board connected to the high-capacity battery pack. The power supply interface of the deodorizing circuit assembly is located on the can body, and when the can body and the power supply module are combined, they can connect to the power output interface of the power supply module to form an electrical connection. A small-capacity battery pack is installed inside the can body as a power source for the sensor circuit assembly.
[0006] In practical use, the power supply module acts as a base or a detachable component of the bin, connecting with the bin and providing power to the deodorizing circuit assembly. When charging is required, the bin is left in its original position, and the power supply module is removed and connected to a charging socket. Due to the extremely low power consumption of the induction circuit, even with a small-capacity battery pack, the trash can can still automatically open and close its lid while the large-capacity battery pack is charging, without affecting its function of disposing of trash. Therefore, this invention first separates the power supply for the induction circuit assembly and the deodorizing circuit assembly, using a small-capacity battery and a large-capacity rechargeable battery respectively. Secondly, the large-capacity rechargeable battery acts as an independent power supply module, which can be separated from the bin and charged due to its detachable structure. Because the large-capacity rechargeable battery carried by the power supply module is independently constructed, it can provide sufficient power capacity to power the deodorizing circuit assembly for a longer period. Furthermore, removing the power supply module for charging does not affect the normal operation of the induction circuit assembly. Therefore, it is simple to operate, convenient to use, and ensures sufficient power capacity and duration.
[0007] This utility model can be further specified as follows:
[0008] The power supply module is a base for the barrel, and its shell shape matches the shape of the bottom of the barrel. At this time, the bottom surface of the barrel is provided with a concave positioning groove, and the power supply interface of the deodorizing circuit component is installed in the concave positioning groove. The upper surface of the power supply module shell is provided with a convex positioning groove, and the power output interface of the large-capacity battery pack is installed in the convex positioning groove. When the concave positioning groove and the convex positioning groove are installed and combined, the power supply interface of the deodorizing circuit component and the power output interface of the large-capacity battery pack come into contact and are electrically connected.
[0009] The concave and convex positioning grooves facilitate a seamless fit between the bin and the power supply module, ensuring a uniform and aesthetically pleasing appearance. They also ensure a safe electrical connection between the power supply interface of the deodorizing circuit components and the power output interface of the high-capacity battery pack. This allows for easy and simple detachment from the power supply module by simply lifting the bin body when charging is required.
[0010] The concave positioning groove and the convex positioning groove are at least one set, and when there are multiple sets, they are arranged in a circle.
[0011] When the power supply module is the base of the barrel, multiple sets of rollers are installed below it.
[0012] This overcomes the weight of the charging base and facilitates the movement of the power supply module.
[0013] The power supply module is a box-shaped component with an opening at the bottom of the barrel. The power supply module is placed in this box-shaped space and can be pulled out through the opening. At this time, the power supply interface of the deodorizing circuit component is installed in the inner cavity of the box-shaped space, located on the rear side or both sides opposite the opening, while the power output interface of the high-capacity battery pack is installed on the corresponding outer side of the power supply module housing. In the power supply interface of the deodorizing circuit component and the power output interface of the high-capacity battery pack, one of the interfaces is a flexible snap contact, and the other interface is an electrical contact piece.
[0014] When in use, push the power supply module into the box-shaped space under the barrel. As the power supply module is pushed into place, the power supply interface of the deodorizing circuit component contacts and connects with the power output interface of the high-capacity battery pack. When charging is required, simply pull the power supply module out like a drawer and remove it from the box-shaped space.
[0015] The power supply module has a hanging component on its outer shell, and a connecting component corresponding to the hanging component is provided on the outer side of the barrel. The power supply module can be placed or suspended on the outer side of the barrel through the connection between the two. The power supply interface of the deodorization circuit component and the power output interface of the large-capacity battery pack are connected by a pluggable connecting cable.
[0016] When charging is needed, simply unplug the connection cable and disconnect the power supply module to supply power.
[0017] This utility model can be further specified as follows:
[0018] A trigger switch is provided in front of the power output interface of the large-capacity battery pack of the power supply module. This trigger switch may be a mechanical switch, a photoelectric switch, or a magnetic induction switch.
[0019] Thus, the large-capacity battery pack only supplies power to the trash can when both of these conditions are met: the power supply interface of the deodorizing circuit component located on the bin is correctly connected to the power output interface of the large-capacity battery pack, and the trigger switch is turned on (sends a signal). This ensures battery safety. The photoelectric switch and magnetic induction switch are both designed to cooperate with the power supply module's proper assembly with the bin, ensuring that the rechargeable battery pack does not output power when removed, but only supplies power to the trash can when the trash can or power supply module is in place.
[0020] The small-capacity battery pack is a small-capacity rechargeable battery. A charging circuit is provided in the induction circuit assembly. One of the power supply interface circuits of the deodorization circuit assembly is connected to the small-capacity rechargeable battery through this charging circuit and charges it.
[0021] The small-capacity battery for the induction circuit assembly can also be a disposable dry cell battery. When a rechargeable battery is used, the power supply module can charge the small-capacity battery while simultaneously powering the deodorizing circuit assembly. Since the power consumption of the induction opening circuit assembly in the induction deodorizing trash can is much less than that of the deodorizing and sterilizing circuit assembly, the large-capacity power supply module does not affect the power supply of the deodorizing and sterilizing circuit, and can also charge the power supply of the induction circuit assembly, thus improving battery life and enhancing environmental performance. Furthermore, only one power charging socket connected to an external power source is required, and the charging of the small-capacity battery pack can be completed by the internal circuit board, simplifying the overall structure.
[0022] In summary, this utility model provides a rechargeable sensor-activated deodorizing trash can. The deodorizing trash can body and the high-capacity power supply module are detachably connected. After being detached from the trash can body, it can be moved to the power charging socket for charging. This solves problems such as battery capacity, charging frequency, and deodorizing function activation frequency. The entire structure is safe and reliable, has stronger practical application value, and is conducive to the market promotion of the product. Attached Figure Description

[0039] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments. Detailed Implementation Example 1
[0040] A rechargeable sensor-activated odor-eliminating trash can, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the device includes a trash can body 1 and a rechargeable battery pack 2. The rechargeable battery pack 2 is divided into two groups: a small-capacity battery pack 21 and a large-capacity battery pack. The small-capacity battery pack 21 is installed inside the trash can body 1, supplying power to the sensing circuit assembly for automatically opening and closing the trash can lid. The large-capacity battery pack is installed outside the trash can body 1 as an independent power supply module 22, supplying power to the deodorizing circuit assembly and the charging circuit for the small-capacity battery, thus enabling the trash can to deodorize and simultaneously charging the small-capacity battery pack 21 for the sensing circuit assembly. Automatic opening and closing of the trash can lid is a conventional technology and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0041] The power supply module 22 includes a large-capacity battery pack housing 221, power output contacts 222 serving as the power output interface for the battery pack, a power charging socket 223 serving as the power charging port for the large-capacity battery pack, a large-capacity rechargeable battery pack 224, and a large-capacity battery management circuit board 2241. The large-capacity battery management circuit board 2241 controls and manages the charging and discharging of the battery pack to ensure battery safety. In this embodiment, the rechargeable battery pack 224, battery socket 223, power output contacts 222, and large-capacity battery management circuit board 2241 are integrated into the large-capacity battery pack housing 221 to form a power supply module 22, thus forming an independent assembly module. Rollers 225 can also be installed below the large-capacity battery pack housing 221 for easy movement of the power supply module 22. Charging is performed by connecting to an external power source using the power charging socket 223. This embodiment uses a power charging socket with concealed electrode plates, which makes charging safer.
[0042] The trash can body 1 and the power supply module 22 are detachably connected. The power supply module 22 is located below the trash can body 1. The power supply module 22 can be shaped to match the bottom of the trash can, serving as the base of the trash can body 1, or it can be made into a small module and embedded in the bottom of the trash can body 1. This embodiment uses the power supply module 22 as the base of the trash can for convenient charging. In terms of mechanical structure, the bottom of the trash can body 1 has a concave positioning groove 12, which cooperates with the convex positioning groove 226 of the power supply module 22. This concave-convex positioning groove design ensures that the trash can body 1 can be correctly placed on the power supply module 22. Of course, one or more concave-convex positioning grooves can be designed, and multiple grooves can be independent or connected to form a complete circle. This embodiment will not be described in detail. In terms of conductive circuit, the bottom of the trash can body 1 has a bottom power interface 11 as the power supply interface for the deodorization circuit component, which corresponds to the power output contact 222 on the upper part of the power supply module 22. The power supply module 22 is electrically connected and is also equipped with a trigger switch 227. The trigger switch 227 can be a mechanical switch, a photoelectric switch, or a magnetic induction switch. The trigger switch 227 controls the output of the rechargeable battery pack 224. This design ensures that the rechargeable battery pack 224 does not supply power to the outside after the trash can body 1 is removed. This ensures that the rechargeable battery pack 224 supplies power to the trash can only when the power interface 11 at the bottom of the can body and the power output contact 222 are correctly connected and the trigger switch 227 sends a signal. This ensures the safety of battery power consumption.
[0043] The advantage of the detachable design is that when charging is needed, the trash can body 1 can be separated from the power supply module 22, and the power supply module 22 can be moved to a charging position for charging. Since the power consumption of the sensing circuit is extremely low, although a small capacity battery pack 21 is used, the usage time is much longer than that of the deodorizing circuit. When the power supply module 22 is charging, the small capacity battery pack 21 can still enable the trash can to automatically open and close the lid normally without affecting its use.
[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 3-5 As shown, the power interface 11 and power output contact 222 at the bottom of the bin are in a ring structure, relying on the weight of the bin itself to ensure a reliable conductive connection between the power interface 11 and power output contact 222 at the bottom of the bin.
[0045] The parts not described in this embodiment are the same as those in the prior art. Example 2
[0046] A rechargeable sensor-activated odor-eliminating trash can, such as Figure 6-11 As shown, the power supply module 22 is detachably connected to the sensor-operated trash can body 1, meaning the power supply module 22 is a box-shaped component that can be embedded in the box-shaped space below the trash can body 1. This way, when charging is needed, there's no need to remove the trash can; simply take out the power supply module 22, move it to a charging position, and connect it to an external power source using the power charging socket 223. Furthermore, casters 225 can be embedded at the bottom of the power supply module 22 for easier movement of the battery pack for charging. This embodiment uses a power charging socket with concealed electrodes, making charging safer.
[0047] In this embodiment, to ensure circuit safety while facilitating charging, the large-capacity battery pack housing 221 is equipped with an anti-dislodgement button 2211 and an anti-dislodgement latch 2212 to prevent the power supply module 22 from falling off. When the power supply module 22 is installed in place, the anti-dislodgement latch 2212 automatically locks. To remove the power supply module 22, the anti-dislodgement button 2211 must be pressed first to reset the anti-dislodgement latch 2212, at which point the power supply module 22 can be pulled out. Of course, the anti-dislodgement mechanism can also be implemented on the rechargeable battery pack, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment. Regarding the conductive circuit, a bottom power interface 11 is provided in the lower box space of the sensor-operated trash can body 1 for deodorization. The power supply interface of the circuit component is electrically connected to the power output contact 222 on the power supply module 22. A trigger switch 227 is also provided on the rechargeable battery pack 224. The trigger switch 227 can be a mechanical switch, a photoelectric switch, or a magnetic induction switch. The trigger switch 227 controls the output of the rechargeable battery pack 224. This design ensures that the rechargeable battery pack 224 does not output power when the power supply module 22 is removed for charging. This ensures that the rechargeable battery pack 224 only outputs power when both the power interface 11 at the bottom of the barrel and the power output contact 222 are correctly connected and the trigger switch 227 sends a signal. This ensures the safety of battery power consumption.
[0048] The parts not described in this embodiment are the same as in Embodiment 1. Specific Implementation
[0049] A rechargeable sensor-activated odor-eliminating trash can, such as Figure 12-14 As shown, the power supply module 22 includes a large-capacity battery pack housing 221, a power charging socket 223 serving as the power charging port for the large-capacity battery pack input, a large-capacity rechargeable battery pack 224, a power output DC socket 228 serving as the power output interface for the battery pack, and a large-capacity battery management circuit board 2241. The large-capacity battery management circuit board 2241 controls and manages the charging and discharging of the battery pack to ensure battery safety. In this embodiment, the rechargeable battery pack 224, the power charging socket 223, the power output DC socket 228, and the large-capacity battery management circuit board 2241 are integrated on the large-capacity battery pack housing 221 to form a power supply module 22, forming a small assembly module. The power charging socket 223 is used to connect to an external power source for charging, and the power supply module 22 is connected to the power input port 13 on the trash can body 1 via a DC power cable.
[0050] The trash can body 1 and the power supply module 22 are detachably connected. The power supply module 22 is located at the rear of the trash can body 1 for convenient charging. The power supply module 22 can be placed vertically at the rear of the trash can body 1, or it can be suspended at the rear of the trash can body 1. This embodiment describes the suspension method. In this embodiment, to ensure electrical safety while facilitating charging, a hook rivet 14 is provided on the rear side of the trash can body 1 to cooperate with the hook slot 229 of the power supply module 22. There are many variations of this structure, and its detailed structure will not be described in detail in this embodiment. Regarding the conductive circuit, a power input port 13 is provided on the rear side of the trash can body 1, and a DC power output socket 228 is also provided on the power supply module 22. The rechargeable battery pack 224 of the power supply module 22 is electrically connected to the power input port 13 of the trash can via a DC power cable. The DC power cable needs to be disconnected when charging is required. This design ensures that the rechargeable battery pack 224 does not output power when the power supply module 22 is separated from the trash can body 1, so that the rechargeable battery pack 224 only supplies power to the trash can when the DC power cable is correctly connected, ensuring battery safety. Of course, a trigger switch can also be added for control, as in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, but this will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0051] The parts not described in this embodiment are the same as in Embodiment 1.
