[0018] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0019] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.

[0020] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0021] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 4 As shown.

[0023] Example 1: See Figure 1 , Figure 3 A heat-dissipating trash can includes: a base 3, a container 2 for holding trash connected to one side of the base 3, and a functional body 4 connected to the other side of the base 3. The functional body 4 includes a housing 41 connected to the base 3. The container 2 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 23 on the side near the housing 41. A cooling fan 43 is fixed to the housing 41. The air inlet of the cooling fan 43 is arranged opposite to the heat dissipation holes 23.

[0024] This technical solution uses a base 3 to fix the functional body 4 to the container 2, so that the heat dissipation hole 23 on the side of the container 2 is opposite to the air inlet of the cooling fan 43 inside the functional body 4. When in use, the cooling fan 43 is powered on and works. The cooling fan 43 draws out the gas inside the container 2 through the air inlet and the heat dissipation hole 23. The upper end of the container 2 is open, and external gas flows in to replenish the space inside the container 2. When the gas inside the container 2 is drawn out, it also carries the internal heat, thereby achieving the effect of heat dissipation.

[0025] Secondly, in the specific setup, the upper end of the functional body 4 is connected to the upper shell 1, which is located above the container 2. The upper shell 1 is provided with a garbage inlet, the upper end of the container 2 is open, and the lower end of the upper shell 1 is opposite to the container 2. Garbage enters the container 2 from the upper shell 1. The garbage inlet opening of the upper shell 1 is small, which makes it convenient for the container 2 to collect garbage.

[0026] See Figure 3 The container 2 has an inwardly recessed hole 21 formed in the middle of its side surface near the functional body 4. The bottom surface of the hole 21 abuts against the end face of the functional body 4, and the side surface of the hole 21 abuts against the end side surface of the functional body 4. (See attached image) Figure 1 .

[0027] Because container 2 needs to be detachable and removable during use, a large heat dissipation hole 23 cannot be provided at the bottom of container 2 to prevent waste leakage. Furthermore, the container 2 wall obstructs the internal space of container 2 from the cooling fan 43, and there is also a gap between container 2 and the functional body 4, resulting in the cooling fan 43 drawing very little air from container 2. To enable the cooling fan 43 to draw more air from container 2, this embodiment designs the side of container 2 near the functional body 4 to be concave, with the central part recessed inward to form a U-shape, covering one side of the functional body 4. This reduces the gap between the cooling fan 43 and container 2; it also minimizes the space between the functional body 4 and container 2, reducing the direct entry of external air into the cooling fan 43 and the space between the functional body 4 and container 2. This increases the efficiency of the cooling fan 43 in drawing air from inside container 2.

[0028] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4The end face of the housing 41 is connected to a temperature sensor 42 for detecting the internal temperature of the container 2. The container 2 is provided with a sensing hole 22 that cooperates with the temperature sensor 42. The temperature sensor 42 is inserted into the sensing hole 22. The temperature sensor 42 is electrically connected to the cooling fan 43. Alternatively, the housing 41 is provided with a control circuit board (not shown in the figure), and both the temperature sensor 42 and the cooling fan 43 are electrically connected to the control circuit board.

[0029] Temperature sensor 42 can be a thermocouple. In use, the thermocouple passes through sensing hole 22 and is inserted into the container 2 to monitor the internal temperature. When the temperature inside the container 2 reaches a predetermined value, such as 50 degrees or 60 degrees Celsius, cooling fan 43 starts operating. The operating state of cooling fan 43 can be controlled by a control circuit board or a temperature controller. At low temperatures, cooling fan 43 operates at low speed or not at all; at high temperatures, cooling fan 43 operates at low speed. The control circuit board can be a circuit board integrating a processor, IC, or microcontroller, which is existing technology.

[0030] See Figure 4 The housing 41 contains an energy storage battery 45, which is electrically connected to the cooling fan 43 and the control circuit board.

[0031] The energy storage battery 45 can be a rechargeable battery, such as a lithium battery; the energy storage battery 45 provides power to the cooling fan 43, control circuit board, etc.; so that the trash can does not need to be placed in a place with only a power interface, and the trash can has a wider range of uses.

[0032] See Figures 1 to 4 The side of the housing 41 is provided with a plurality of vent holes 44.

[0033] Ventilation holes 44 are provided to assist in heat dissipation; the cooling fan 43 draws out the high-temperature gas inside the container 2 and releases it into the shell 41, causing the temperature inside the shell 41 to rise; therefore, in order to prevent the temperature inside the shell 41 from rising too much, ventilation holes 44 are provided on the side of the shell 41 to improve the convection between the air inside the shell 41 and the outside air and reduce the internal temperature.

[0034] Preferably, the housing 41 is equipped with an exhaust fan (not shown in the figure). To quickly extract the gas from the container 2 and discharge it to the outside, an exhaust fan can be installed inside the housing 41; the cooling fan 43 draws the gas from the container 2 into the housing 41, and then the exhaust fan discharges it to the outside of the housing 41, achieving a seamless connection. During operation, the power of the exhaust fan can be slightly higher than that of the cooling fan.

[0035] Preferably, the housing 41 is connected to an alarm (not shown in the figure), and the alarm is electrically connected to the control circuit board.

[0036] More preferably, the alarm includes: a speaker and / or a warning light.

[0037] When the temperature inside the trash can reaches a predetermined temperature, such as 70 degrees Celsius or 60 degrees Celsius, the control circuit board activates the alarm. This helps to minimize the release of foul-smelling gases caused by high temperatures inside the trash can.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
