Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of trash can technology, specifically to an intelligent recyclable bin structure. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the uneven distribution of outdoor public trash cans, some trash cans located in high-traffic areas such as subway entrances and supermarket entrances are used far more than those in other locations. Among several adjacent trash cans, one may be overflowing while the surrounding trash cans remain empty. This not only results in low trash can utilization efficiency and waste of public facilities, but also concentrates the waste pressure that should be borne by multiple trash cans onto a single trash can, causing significant damage to the local urban environment and sanitation facilities.

[0003] Most current anti-overflow trash cans notify sanitation workers or recycling centers of overflow conditions so that they can be cleaned in time to avoid overflowing. However, trash disposal users are unaware of the extent of overflow in the trash cans, so this cannot fundamentally change the problem of some trash cans overflowing. Other products use alarms and voice prompts to prevent people from throwing trash into overflowing trash cans. While this solves the overflowing problem to some extent, it loses its value as a public sanitation facility and causes trouble for trash disposal users, leading to littering. Utility Model Content

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model discloses an intelligent recyclable bin structure, including an outer casing 1. The outer casing 1 has storage compartments 2 at both ends and a temporary compartment 3 in the middle. A waste inner bin 4 is placed in the storage compartment 2, and a temporary inner bin 5 is placed in the temporary compartment 3. A waste overflow sensor 6 is installed on the inner top of the storage compartment 2, and a microcontroller 7 is installed on the inner top of the temporary compartment 3. Both the storage compartment 2 and the temporary compartment 3 have a dispensing port 8 at their front sides, and a flip cover 9 is hinged to the dispensing port 8 via a pin. A transmission gear ring 10 is provided on the flip cover 9. Stepper motors 11 are installed in both the storage compartment 2 and the temporary compartment 3, and the output shaft of the stepper motor 11 is connected to the transmission gear ring 10 via a gear. An indicator light 12 is embedded in the front side of the storage compartment 2, and the indicator light 12 is embedded in the front side of the temporary compartment 3. Each bin is equipped with a touchscreen 13 and a voice broadcast module 14. The overflow sensor 6 collects information on the overflow status of the bin, which is monitored and managed by a microcontroller 7. The remaining capacity of the bin is displayed in real time on the touchscreen 13. When a user performs a disposal operation through the touchscreen 13, the microcontroller 7 controls the stepper motor 11 to automatically open the flip cover 9 for disposal. When a full load signal is detected, the indicator light 12 is lit, the voice broadcast module 14 provides a voice reminder and changes the disposal route, the storage compartment 2 is closed, and the temporary compartment 3 is opened to guide the user to continue disposal, thus forming a friendly disposal relationship. This helps the manager to understand the status of the garbage bin in a timely manner and provides conditions for reasonable planning in the future. The overflow sensor 6, stepper motor 11, indicator light 12, touchscreen 13, and voice broadcast module 14 are all electrically connected to the microcontroller 7.

[0020] Specifically, a double door 15 is installed on the rear side of the outer casing 1 via a hinge, and a flat lock 16 is installed on the double door 15. The double door 15 is locked to the rear side of the outer casing 1 via the flat lock 16.

[0021] In this embodiment, the double door 15 can protect the interior of the outer casing 1 from dust and external damage, and the main function of the flat lock 16 is to prevent unauthorized personnel from opening the outer casing 1 or damage caused by improper use.

[0022] Specifically, the inner garbage bin 4 is located directly below the disposal opening 8 of the storage compartment 2, and the temporary inner bin 5 is located directly below the disposal opening 8 of the temporary compartment 3.

[0023] In this implementation plan, such as Figure 2 As shown, garbage can be disposed of when the flip cover 9 on the storage compartment 2 is opened, or garbage can be disposed of when the flip cover 9 on the temporary compartment 3 is opened.

[0024] Specifically, the overflow sensor 6 is located directly above the inner garbage bin 4, and the overflow sensor 6 is an ultrasonic sensor.

[0025] In this implementation scheme, the overflowing garbage sensor 6 mainly uses ultrasonic technology. Its principle is that a microcomputer controls a piezoelectric probe to emit ultrasonic waves. When the ultrasonic waves encounter garbage in the garbage can, they are reflected back. The sensor calculates the time required for the ultrasonic waves to travel and for the object to return, thereby obtaining the actual distance between the product and the tested object (i.e., the surface of the garbage).

[0026] Specifically, the temporary compartment 3 has an assembly slot 17 at its inner top, and the microcontroller 7 is located in the assembly slot 17.

[0027] In this embodiment, the assembly slot 17 is used to provide installation space for the microcontroller 7. The microcontroller 7 can receive signals from sensors and control actuators such as motors, valves, and heaters according to preset programs. It is widely used in industrial automation and home automation.

[0028] Specifically, the temporary compartment 3 has a sound hole 18 on its front side, and the voice broadcasting module 14 corresponds to the position of the sound hole 18.

[0029] In this implementation scheme, the voice broadcast module 14 can convert text information into voice, which can convey important messages, notices and alarms, so that people can understand the relevant information. For example, it can pre-set voice messages such as "The currently selected trash can is full and the delivery route is being reassigned. Please wait."

[0030] During use, the overflow sensor 6 is used to collect information on the overflow status of the trash can (e.g., Figure 1 and 2As shown, storage compartment 2 is divided into two sections, representing recyclable waste and other waste. A touchscreen 13 displays icons for both recyclable and other waste disposal. A microcontroller 7 monitors and manages these components (recording and storing the number of times the recyclable and other waste disposal icons are used, as well as their corresponding capacity, including the subsequent disposal status in temporary compartment 3). The touchscreen 13 displays the remaining capacity in the bins in real time. When a user disposes of waste via touchscreen 13, the microcontroller 7 controls the stepper motor 11 to automatically open the flip cover 9. When a full bin signal is detected, indicator light 12 illuminates, the voice broadcast module 14 provides a voice prompt and changes the disposal route, storage compartment 2 closes, and temporary compartment 3 opens, guiding the user to continue disposing of waste and fostering a friendly disposal relationship. This helps managers understand the waste bin situation in a timely manner and provides conditions for future reasonable planning.

[0031] In summary, this intelligent recyclable bin structure utilizes a waste overflow sensor 6 to collect information on the overflow status of the bin, which is monitored and managed by a microcontroller 7. The remaining capacity of the bin is displayed in real time via a touchscreen 13. When a user performs a disposal operation via the touchscreen 13, the microcontroller 7 controls a stepper motor 11 to automatically open the flip cover 9 for disposal. When a full load signal is detected, the indicator light 12 is illuminated, the voice broadcast module 14 provides a voice reminder and changes the disposal route, the storage compartment 2 closes, and the temporary compartment 3 opens, guiding the user to continue disposal to form a friendly disposal relationship. This helps managers understand the status of the waste bin in a timely manner and provides conditions for reasonable planning in the future.
