Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of trash can technology, specifically to a trash can with a full-load alarm function. Background Technology

[0002] Trash cans reflect a society's culture. The fast pace of human life and new environmental concepts are constantly driving both material and spiritual civilization in public spaces. Therefore, excellent public facility design plays a particularly important role in improving the living environment and showcasing urban characteristics. Trash cans have become an integral part of a city and a family, and the nation also attaches great importance to environmental issues.

[0003] The problems caused by trash cans are endless. One of the main issues is that when trash cans are full, they are not emptied in time, which leads to foul smells and has a great impact on environmental sanitation.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies have conducted relevant research. For example, Chinese Patent Application No. 201710636489.5 discloses a trash can with a positioning and full-load alarm device, which reminds people to empty the trash in a timely manner through a full-load alarm. However, the range of its full-load position cannot be adjusted, which to some extent hinders the rational use of trash can space. For instance, when used to hold liquids, the full-load position should be relatively low to avoid excessive weight or easy spillage when emptying, while when holding relatively loose trash, the full-load position can be relatively high. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a trash can with a full-load alarm function, so that while taking into account the need for a full-load alarm, it can reasonably set the full-load position for different usage situations, so as to make reasonable use of the trash can space.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a trash can with a full-load alarm function, comprising a light-shielding outer shell, a transparent inner shell, vertical slide rails, a laser emitter, a laser receiver, a connecting frame, a pull rod, a buckle, a main control circuit, and an alarm. Vertical slide rails are provided on both sides of the transparent inner shell, and these rails are positioned within the space between the light-shielding outer shell and the transparent inner shell. The laser emitter and laser receiver are arranged opposite each other and slidably assembled with the corresponding vertical slide rails. The laser emitter and laser receiver are connected by a connecting frame located within the space between the light-shielding outer shell and the transparent inner shell. The pull rod is fixedly connected to the connecting frame, and the pull rod vertically passes through the top of the light-shielding outer shell and is secured to the top of the light-shielding outer shell by a buckle. The laser emitter, laser receiver, main control circuit, and alarm are electrically connected.

[0009] Furthermore, the pull rod is provided with a scale.

[0010] Furthermore, a power switch is provided on the main control circuit.

[0011] Furthermore, a cover is provided on the top of the transparent inner shell.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes an injection port that communicates with the transparent inner shell.

[0013] Furthermore, the injection port is L-shaped.

[0014] Furthermore, the material of the injection port is a light-shielding material.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] The trash can of this application has two functions. First, the full compartment height is set by the laser emission height. When the trash volume reaches the laser emission height, it prevents the laser receiver from receiving the laser signal. At this time, the signal is transmitted to the alarm through the main control circuit, and the alarm sounds, thus realizing the full compartment alarm function and reminding staff to clean the trash in time. Second, the laser emission height can be adjusted by sliding, thus realizing the adjustment of the full compartment height so as to make reasonable use of the storage space.

[0021] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0023] Furthermore, in this utility model, the use of terms such as "first," "second," etc., is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0024] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; "connection" can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] See Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a trash can with a full-load alarm function, including a light-shielding outer shell 5, a transparent inner shell 1, a vertical slide rail 2, a laser transmitter 7, a laser receiver 6, a connecting frame 4, a pull rod 3, a buckle 11, a main control circuit 9, and an alarm 8; the transparent inner shell allows the laser to pass through, while the light-shielding outer shell blocks light from the external environment to prevent ambient light from interfering with the laser emission and reception process.

[0026] Vertical slide rails are provided on both sides of the transparent inner shell, and these slide rails are located in the space between the light-shielding outer shell and the transparent inner shell. The laser emitter and laser receiver are arranged opposite each other and are slidably assembled with the corresponding vertical slide rails. The laser emitter and laser receiver are connected by a connecting frame, which is located in the space between the light-shielding outer shell and the transparent inner shell. The pull rod is fixedly connected to the connecting frame, and the pull rod passes vertically through the top of the light-shielding outer shell and is locked in place by a snap-fit. The pull rod moves up and down, causing the laser emitter and laser receiver to move synchronously through the connecting frame, thereby adjusting the laser emission height, i.e., adjusting the full-load height. The pull rod is equipped with a scale to provide a reference for adjusting the full-load height. After the full-load height is adjusted, the pull rod is fixed with the snap-fit.

[0027] The laser transmitter, laser receiver, main control circuit, and alarm are electrically connected. A power switch 10 is installed on the main control circuit. When it is necessary to empty the trash can, ambient light may interfere with the laser's emission and reception, causing an erroneous alarm. In this case, the power switch is turned off to facilitate emptying the trash can.

[0028] The top of the transparent inner shell is equipped with a lid 12. Opening the lid makes it easy for staff to clean the garbage inside the bin.

[0029] It also includes a filling port 13 that communicates with the transparent inner shell; the filling port is L-shaped and made of light-shielding material; this can prevent light from entering the barrel and interfering with laser emission and reception.

[0030] During operation, firstly, pull the lever to move the laser transmitter and receiver. Set the full-fill height for alarm activation according to the scale on the lever and secure it with clips. Then, garbage enters the garbage bin through the filling port. When the garbage in the bin reaches the full-fill height, it obstructs the laser receiver from receiving the laser signal. At this point, the signal is transmitted to the alarm via the main control circuit, and the alarm sounds. Finally, turn off the power switch, open the lid, and the staff can empty the garbage from the bin.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
