The main body 1 has a rectangular shell structure and a transparent window to facilitate the collection of waste. The collection hopper 2 is located on the front side of the top surface of the main body 1 and is connected to the main body 1. The sensor switch 3 is fixed on the front and rear sides of the upper part of the collection hopper 2. The casters 4 are mounted on... On the bottom surface of the main body 1; the movable door 5 is hinged to the lower front part of the main body 1; the sliding strip 7 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top surface of the main body 1, and there are two symmetrical sliding strips 7 on both sides of the collection hopper 2; the sliding strip 7 is a strip structure with an "L" shaped cross section; the baffle 6 is slidably installed inside the sliding strip 7, and the baffle 6 reduces the diffusion of odor inside the main body 1; the first electric cylinder 8 is fixed on the top surface of the main body 1, and the telescopic end of the first electric cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the baffle 6, and the first electric cylinder 8 is electrically connected to the induction switch 3; by controlling the extension and retraction of the first electric cylinder 8 through the induction switch 3, the baffle 6 moves, and waste can be put into the collection hopper 2 without the need for user contact, making it more convenient to use.

[0028] Guide strips 9 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the main body 1; the two sides of the movable plate 10 are slidably engaged with the guide strips 9; the movable plate 10 is a rectangular plate structure with multiple grooves on its top surface, and the front and rear sides of the movable plate 10 have grooves for engaging with the guide strips 9; racks 11 are fixed on both sides of the bottom surface of the movable plate 10, and gears 12 mesh with racks 11, and gears 12 are connected to the output shaft of drive motor 13; guide plates 14 are welded and fixed to the right end of the movable plate 10 in an inclined shape; guide plates 14 are rectangular plate structures that allow liquid to flow into waste liquid tank 20; compression plates 15 are vertically installed on the right end of the movable plate 10; a second electric cylinder 16 is fixed on the inner wall of the main body 1, and the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the compression plate 15; the compression plate 15 is moved by the second electric cylinder 16. The waste is compressed, reducing its volume. Simultaneously, the liquid contained within the waste flows along the guide plate 14 into the waste liquid tank 20, preventing dripping during waste transportation and reducing the spread of germs. The waste bin 17 is movably positioned inside the main body 1 on the lower left side. The waste bin 17 has a rectangular shell structure with an opening at the top, and a rectangular protrusion around the outer edge of the opening to facilitate the fixing of the waste bag 18. The waste bag 18 is fitted inside the waste bin 17 and fixed to it by a rubber band 19.
