Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation and intelligent control technology, and in particular to an intelligent trash can. Background Technology
[0002] In today's era of rapid technological advancement, smart trash cans, as a crucial component of intelligent urban sanitation infrastructure, are gradually changing how people dispose of and handle waste. The application of various smart technologies in trash cans not only enhances the convenience of waste disposal but also provides more possibilities for waste sorting, collection, and management. However, smart trash cans integrate numerous electronic devices, which are prone to malfunctions during long-term operation, requiring protection and maintenance. Therefore, developing a structure with robust protection mechanisms and ease of maintenance for the electronic equipment within smart trash cans is particularly important. This will help improve the lifespan and operational stability of smart trash cans, further promoting the development of intelligent urban sanitation.
[0003] Traditional smart trash cans are designed primarily for trash disposal and collection. A typical structure includes a bin body with a motor-driven flip-top or sliding lid mechanism. Infrared sensors or other sensors detect when a person approaches, triggering the motor to open the lid for easy trash disposal. For storage, the bin usually has a simple inner liner. Some smart trash cans also feature a trash compression function, using a built-in hydraulic or mechanical compression device to increase storage capacity. The electrical system is generally located in a specific area of the bin, connecting various sensors, motors, and control modules via wires to control the bin's functions.
[0004] There are significant challenges in protecting and repairing the internal electronic equipment of existing smart trash cans. Due to the compact layout of their internal electronic equipment and the lack of a specially designed structure for easy maintenance, when the electronic equipment malfunctions and requires repair, maintenance personnel often need to spend a lot of time disassembling numerous parts to access the faulty device.
