Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of recycling bin technology, and in particular to an intelligent recycling bin that prevents fingers from being pinched. Background Technology
[0002] Most recyclables are disposed of through sanitary landfill, incineration, or composting, but in many places, they are simply dumped or buried, leading to foul odors and soil and groundwater pollution. Therefore, recyclables need to be collected and processed to minimize environmental damage. Recycling bins are a commonly used recycling device.
[0003] To ensure the lid is securely closed, smart recycling bins typically use a rigid push-pull lid. However, this rigid lid can easily pinch hands when closed. While convenient, the opening and closing of the lid is controlled by a device. Existing smart recycling bins generally use a telescopic device with a linkage structure to drive the lid. Although this linkage structure is stable, the travel of the telescopic device is fixed when the lid is closed and reset. If there are foreign objects or hands at the bin opening, they can severely trap them, easily causing injury or deforming the lid. Therefore, further innovation of existing smart recycling bins is necessary. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent recycling bin that prevents fingers from being pinched, addressing the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] The present invention discloses an anti-pinch intelligent recycling bin, comprising an outer bin and a recycling bin disposed inside the outer bin; both the front surface and the top surface of the outer bin are provided with openings; the opening on the front surface of the outer bin is provided with a front door; and a telescopic component is provided on the outer bin.
[0007] The opening on the top surface of the outer barrel is hinged to a barrel lid; a fixing plate is fixed on the barrel lid; a pull plate is provided on the fixing plate; a pull shaft is fixed on the pull plate; one end of the telescopic component is fixed to the outer barrel; an L-shaped plate is fixed to the other end of the telescopic component; the shaft of the pull shaft abuts against the L-shaped plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the L-shaped plate is composed of a first pressure plate and a second pressure plate fixed on the first pressure plate; a sensor is provided on the inner surface of the second pressure plate; a controller connected to the telescopic assembly is provided on the outer barrel; the controller is connected to the sensor.
[0009] Furthermore, the pull shaft is a follower wheel; the wheel body of the follower wheel is attached to the L-shaped plate.
[0010] Furthermore, a ramp is provided on the opening of the front surface of the outer barrel; the ramp extends to the ground; and wheels are provided at the bottom of the recycling bin.
[0011] Furthermore, casters are provided at all four corners of the bottom of the outer barrel.
[0012] Furthermore, a collection hopper is provided at the top opening of the outer barrel; the end of the collection hopper is positioned directly opposite the top of the recycling barrel.
[0013] Furthermore, the top surface of the outer barrel is inclined, and the horizontal height of the top surface gradually decreases as it approaches the front surface of the outer barrel.
[0014] With the above structure, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: After the telescopic component moves, it can drive the L-shaped plate to move. The L-shaped plate applies a pulling force to the pull shaft, causing the fixed plate to drive the bucket lid to flip open. When the telescopic component is at its minimum stroke, the bucket lid is in the maximum open state. When the telescopic component returns to its maximum stroke, the bucket lid flips open due to its own gravity. When a foreign object or a person's hand is inserted under the bucket lid, the bucket lid cannot completely fit against the top surface of the outer bucket and return to its original position. Therefore, the L-shaped plate will detach from the pull shaft. The telescopic component will not directly apply pressure to the bucket lid to pull it forcefully against the person's hand or foreign object on the top surface of the outer bucket. Instead, it will rely on its own gravity to press against the person's hand or foreign object, reducing the risk of hand injury and the risk of the bucket lid being deformed.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides an anti-pinch intelligent recycling bin, which includes an outer bin 5 and a recycling bin 10 disposed inside the outer bin 5; both the front surface and the top surface of the outer bin 5 are provided with openings; the opening on the front surface of the outer bin 5 is provided with a front door 501; and a telescopic component 4 is provided on the outer bin 5.
[0026] The top surface of the outer barrel 5 is hinged to a barrel lid 1; a fixing plate 2 is fixed on the barrel lid 1; a pull plate 201 is provided on the fixing plate 2; a pull shaft 8 is fixed on the pull plate 201; one end of the telescopic component 4 is fixed to the outer barrel 5; the other end of the telescopic component 4 is fixed to an L-shaped plate 3; the shaft of the pull shaft 8 is pressed against the L-shaped plate 3.
[0027] One end of the telescopic component 4 is fixed to the outer barrel 5 via a connecting plate 503. The barrel lid 1 can rotate around the pivot. When the barrel lid 1 is completely attached to the top surface of the outer barrel 5, the top surface of the outer barrel 5 fully supports the barrel lid 1. The pull shaft 8 lightly presses down on or disengages from the L-shaped plate 3. After the telescopic component 4 moves, it can drive the L-shaped plate 3 to move. The L-shaped plate 3 applies a pulling force to the pull shaft 8, causing the fixing plate 2 to drive the barrel lid 1 to flip open. When the telescopic component 4 is at its minimum stroke, the barrel lid 1 is in its maximum open state. When the telescopic component 4 returns to its maximum stroke, the barrel lid 1 flips open due to its own gravity. When a foreign object or a person's hand is inserted under the barrel lid 1, the barrel lid 1 cannot be completely attached to the top surface of the outer barrel 5 and will return to its original position. Therefore, the L-shaped plate 3 will disengage from the pull shaft 8. The telescopic component 4 will not directly apply pressure to the barrel lid 1 to pull it forcefully against the person's hand or foreign object on the top surface of the outer barrel 5. Instead, it will rely on its own gravity to press against the person's hand or foreign object, reducing the risk of injury to the person's hand and the risk of the barrel lid 1 being deformed.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the L-shaped plate 3 is composed of a first pressure plate 301 and a second pressure plate 302 fixed on the first pressure plate 301; a sensor 9 is provided on the inner surface of the second pressure plate 302; a controller 7 connected to the telescopic assembly 4 is provided on the outer barrel 5; the controller 7 is connected to the sensor 9; the controller 7 and the sensor 9 are essentially no different from the prior art, so they will not be described in detail; the sensor 9 is any one of a tactile switch sensor, an infrared induction switch, and an inductive proximity switch, the first pressure plate 301... Plate 301 is used to prevent the pull shaft 8 from falling off the L-shaped plate 3; when the lid 1 encounters an obstruction when closing, the lid 1 cannot be closed in place, and the second pressure plate 302 will continue to move, causing the second pressure plate 302 to disengage from the pull shaft 8; at this time, when the pull shaft 8 is not in contact with the sensor 9, the controller 7 receives the signal from the sensor 9 and causes the telescopic component 4 to move in the opposite direction, flipping the lid 1 back up until the pull shaft 8 is reattached to the second pressure plate 302, forming support for the second pressure plate 302, thereby reducing the pressure on the lid 1 from a person or foreign object.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the pull shaft 8 is a follower wheel; the wheel body of the follower wheel is attached to the L-shaped plate 3, and the wheel structure forms rolling friction, which can reduce the friction between the pull shaft 8 and the L-shaped plate 3, and make the sliding of the L-shaped plate 3 and the pull shaft 8 smoother.
[0030] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a ramp 502 is provided on the opening of the front surface of the outer bucket 5; the ramp 502 extends to the ground; a wheel 1001 is provided at the bottom of the recycling bucket 10; the wheel 1001 slides on the ramp 502, making it easier for the outer bucket 5 to enter and exit.
[0031] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, casters 6 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the outer barrel 5.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top opening of the outer barrel 5 is provided with a collection hopper 504; the end of the collection hopper 504 is positioned directly opposite the top of the recycling bin 10; when garbage is thrown in, it is guided into the recycling bin 10 through the collection hopper 504.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top surface of the outer bucket 5 is inclined, and the horizontal height of the top surface gradually decreases as it approaches the front surface of the outer bucket 5; the gradual decrease in the height of the top surface of the outer bucket 5 makes it easier for the garbage thrower to observe the feeding port.
[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
