A mobile garbage can capable of automatic cover turning

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of trash can technology and discloses a mobile, automatically flip-top trash can. The mobile, automatically flip-top trash can includes a housing with a moving component mounted on it. By incorporating this moving component, when a person disposing of trash passes the bottom of an infrared sensor on a baffle, information is transmitted via a cable inside a cable cover to a PLC controller inside the protective cover. This activates a servo asynchronous motor, which, in conjunction with a rotating shaft, mounting bracket, and lid, automatically flips the lid, improving hygiene. Furthermore, when both hands are holding trash, there's no need to put the trash down to flip the lid. A button allows for manual flipping when the infrared sensor's automatic flipping function fails. A base column ensures stability, and rubber blocks maintain a gap between the lid and the housing, preventing odor buildup inside. In summary, this makes the trash can more practical.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of trash can technology, specifically a mobile trash can with an automatic flip-top lid. Background Technology

[0002] As an indispensable sanitation facility in daily life, trash cans are widely used in various scenarios such as homes, public places, and commercial areas. With social development and the improvement of people's living standards, higher requirements have been put forward for the function and user experience of trash cans.

[0003] Currently, there are various types of trash cans on the market. Traditional manual flip-top trash cans require users to directly touch the lid to open and close them. This method can easily cause hand contact with the trash can, increasing the risk of germ transmission. Therefore, sensor-operated automatic flip-top trash cans have emerged.

[0004] These types of trash cans typically use infrared or ultrasonic sensing technologies. When a person or object is detected approaching, the lid opens automatically and closes automatically after the trash is disposed of. However, the infrared sensors of existing sensor-type trash cans face directly outwards, which can easily cause accidental activation when people who are not disposing of trash pass by. Moreover, the activation method is singular and lacks practicality. In view of this, we propose a mobile trash can with an automatic flip-top lid. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mobile, automatically flip-top trash can to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A mobile, automatically flip-top trash can includes a body, a handle fixedly mounted on the external rear top of the body, wheels rotatably mounted on the bottom of the body, and a moving component disposed on the body, the moving component comprising:

[0008] A baffle is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the bottom front side of the box, and an infrared sensor is fixedly installed on the bottom of the baffle. A mounting frame is fixedly installed on the top rear side of the box. Two sets of mounting frames are provided. One set of mounting frames is fixedly installed with a protective cover on the outside. A cable cover is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the box.

[0009] A servo asynchronous motor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective cover. A rotating shaft is fixedly installed on the output end of the servo asynchronous motor. The rotating shaft is rotatably installed inside the mounting bracket through bearing components. A PLC controller is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective cover. The PLC controller is electrically connected to an infrared sensor through a cable located inside the cable cover.

[0010] The box cover has one side fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating shaft, and a handle is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of the other side of the box cover. A button is provided on the servo asynchronous motor.

[0011] In a further embodiment, a rubber block is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the other end of the box cover. Multiple sets of the rubber blocks are provided to maintain a certain gap between the box cover and the top of the box body.

[0012] In a further embodiment, a bottom post is fixedly installed at the bottom of the bin, away from the wheels, and two sets of wheels and bottom posts are provided to make the trash can more stable when placed.

[0013] In a further embodiment, the buttons are provided in two sets, which control the forward and reverse rotation of the servo asynchronous motor respectively.

[0014] In a further embodiment, the housing is also provided with an auxiliary component, which includes a rotating rod. The rotating rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the protective cover. The rotating rod is fixedly installed on one end of the coil spring. The outer end of the coil spring is fixedly installed on the inside of one end of the cover plate. A U-shaped frame is fixedly installed on the other end of the cover plate to facilitate lifting the cover plate.

[0015] In a further embodiment, an arc-shaped filter plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inside of the box, and a liquid outlet pipe is fixedly installed inside the bottom of the side wall of the box. A valve is provided on the liquid outlet pipe to facilitate the discharge of liquid from the garbage.

[0016] In a further embodiment, a heat dissipation plate is fixedly installed inside the bottom of the protective cover to better dissipate heat from the inside of the protective cover.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a mobile, automatically flip-top trash can, which has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. This mobile, automatically flip-top trash can is designed for greater practicality. A mobile component, including the body, handle, and wheels, facilitates easy movement. When a person's foot brushes against the bottom of the infrared sensor on the baffle, the information is transmitted via a cable inside the cable cover to the PLC controller inside the protective cover. This activates the servo asynchronous motor, causing the shaft to rotate within the mounting frame and automatically open the lid. This eliminates the need for manual opening, improving hygiene. Furthermore, when both hands are holding trash, there's no need to put the trash down to open the lid. A button allows for manual opening if the infrared sensor's automatic opening function fails. A base column ensures stability, and rubber blocks maintain a gap between the lid and the body, preventing odor buildup inside. In summary, this design enhances the overall practicality of the trash can.

[0019] 2. This mobile, automatically flip-top trash can features an auxiliary component to enhance its usability. Pulling the U-shaped frame lifts the cover, causing a coil spring to contract and deform outside the rotating rod, facilitating operation inside the protective cover. Releasing the spring restores its deformation, automatically resetting the cover to better protect the internal structure. A heat dissipation plate facilitates heat dissipation, and an arc-shaped filter plate helps to trap trash inside. Opening the valve allows liquid waste to drain through the outlet pipe, further enhancing the trash can's usability. Attached Figure Description

It is primarily used to better describe this application and its embodiments, and is not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to construct and operate in a specific orientation. Furthermore, the term "above" may also be used in certain circumstances to indicate a dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0034] A mobile, automatically flip-top trash can includes a body 1, a handle 2 fixedly installed on the top rear side of the body 1, and wheels 3 rotatably installed on the bottom of the body 1.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, a movable component 4 is provided on the housing 1. The movable component 4 includes a baffle 41. The baffle 41 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the bottom front side of the housing 1. An infrared sensor 42 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the baffle 41. A mounting bracket 43 is fixedly installed on the top rear side of the housing 1. Two sets of mounting brackets 43 are provided. A protective cover 44 is fixedly installed on the outside of one set of mounting brackets 43. A cable cover 45 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the housing 1. A servo asynchronous motor 46 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective cover 44. A rotating shaft 48 is fixedly installed on the output end of the servo asynchronous motor 46. The rotating shaft 48 is rotatably installed inside the mounting bracket 43 through bearing components. A PLC controller 47 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective cover 44. 47 is electrically connected to infrared sensor 42 via cable, which is located inside cable cover 45. One side of bin cover 49 is fixedly installed on the outside of rotating shaft 48. A handle 410 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of bin cover 49. A button 411 is provided on servo asynchronous motor 46. In addition, two sets of buttons 411 are provided to control the forward and reverse rotation of servo asynchronous motor 46 respectively. In addition, a base column 412 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of bin 1 away from bin wheel 3. Two sets of bin wheel 3 and base column 412 are provided to make the trash can be placed more stably. In addition, a rubber block 413 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the other end of bin cover 49. Multiple sets of rubber blocks 413 are provided to maintain a certain gap between bin cover 49 and top of bin 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the trash can needs to be moved, the operator holds the handle 2, tilts the trash can slightly, and then uses the wheels 3 at the bottom of the can body 1 to push the trash can on the ground to move its position. During the process of throwing away trash, when the person's foot brushes past the bottom of the infrared sensor 42 fixed to the baffle 41 on the outer wall of the front bottom of the can body 1 (to avoid the infrared sensor 42 facing directly to the outside, which could cause accidental activation by people passing by without throwing away trash), the infrared sensor 42 is triggered. At this time, the infrared sensor 42 transmits the sensing signal to the PLC controller 47 installed on the inner wall of the protective cover 44 through the cable laid inside the cable cover 45. After receiving the signal, the PLC controller 47 processes it through its internal program and sends a start command to the servo asynchronous motor 46. The servo asynchronous motor 46 is installed inside the protective cover 44, and its output end is connected to the rotating shaft 48, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate through bearing components. Inside the frame 43, the servo asynchronous motor 46 starts and rotates forward, driving the rotating shaft 48 to rotate within the mounting frame 43. The lid 49 is fixedly mounted on one side of the rotating shaft 48, causing the lid 49 to rotate around the rotating shaft 48, thus achieving the action of automatically opening and flipping the lid, making it convenient for people to dispose of garbage. When the infrared sensor automatic flipping function malfunctions, people can use the button 411 on the servo asynchronous motor 46 to directly control the servo asynchronous motor 46 to rotate forward, thereby driving the rotating shaft 48 to complete the opening and closing operation of the lid 49. In addition, a base column 412 is installed at the bottom of the body 1 away from the wheel 3. Two sets of wheel 3 and base column 412 are provided to support the garbage can together, making it more stable. Multiple sets of rubber blocks 413 are installed on the outer wall of the other side of the lid 49. When the lid 49 is closed, it maintains a certain gap between the lid 49 and the top of the body 1. This design can effectively prevent the accumulation of odor inside the garbage can.

[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, an auxiliary component 5 is also provided on the housing 1. The auxiliary component 5 includes a rotating rod 51. The rotating rod 51 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the protective cover 44. The rotating rod 51 is fixedly installed on one end of the coil spring 52. The outer end of the coil spring 52 is fixedly installed on one end of the cover plate 53. A U-shaped frame 54 is fixedly installed on the other end of the cover plate 53 to facilitate pulling up the cover plate 53. In addition, an arc-shaped filter plate 55 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing 1. A liquid outlet pipe 56 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the side wall of the housing 1. A valve 57 is provided on the liquid outlet pipe 56 to facilitate the discharge of liquid from the garbage. The subsequent garbage liquid collection equipment will not be illustrated in detail. In addition, a heat dissipation plate 58 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the protective cover 44 to better dissipate heat from the inside of the protective cover 44.

[0038] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to inspect or operate components such as the servo asynchronous motor 46 and PLC controller 47 inside the protective cover 44, the U-shaped frame 54 fixed to the other end of the cover plate 53 is pulled, and the cover plate 53 is lifted. At this time, the coil spring 52 fixed to the outside of the rotating rod 51 on the inner wall of the top of the protective cover 44 will be pulled by the movement of the cover plate 53, and will undergo contraction deformation outside the rotating rod 51, storing elastic potential energy for the subsequent reset of the cover plate 53. After the cover plate 53 is lifted, the internal space of the protective cover 44 is exposed, which is convenient for the staff to operate. When the operation is completed, the U-shaped frame 54 is released, the coil spring 52 returns to its deformation, releases the elastic potential energy, and drives the cover plate 53 to move from the inside. The system automatically resets and re-covers the protective cover 44, protecting the internal structure from water and dust. During the use of the trash can, the heat dissipation plate 58 installed inside the bottom of the protective cover 44 can dissipate the heat generated by components such as the servo asynchronous motor 46 and PLC controller 47 in a timely manner, ensuring that each component operates in a suitable temperature environment. At the same time, the arc-shaped filter plate 55 installed inside the bottom of the box 1 acts as a barrier against the trash inside the trash can, preventing large pieces of trash from clogging the liquid outlet channel. When it is necessary to drain the trash liquid from the trash can, the valve 57 is opened, and the trash liquid is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 56 under the action of gravity, which facilitates the subsequent collection and treatment of the trash liquid.

[0039] All electrical components mentioned in this application are electrically connected to the PLC controller 47 and the power supply. The PLC controller 47 is a conventional and known device that can control the infrared sensor 42 and the servo asynchronous motor 46. All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market. The specific connection methods of each part are all conventional methods such as riveting and welding that are mature in the prior art. The standard parts are all conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art.

[0040] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
