Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of garbage can technology, specifically relating to the large lid structure of an automatic garbage can for garbage stations. Background Technology
[0002] Trash cans, as indispensable sanitation facilities in daily life, are crucial for maintaining public health. Their core function is to collect waste, effectively preventing environmental pollution, disease transmission, and urban degradation caused by indiscriminate littering. With increasing environmental awareness and the promotion of waste sorting policies, the types of trash cans have become increasingly diverse. Common types include recyclable waste bins, hazardous waste bins, kitchen waste bins, and other waste bins, with different colors and markings to facilitate accurate waste sorting. In addition, there are smart trash cans that integrate automatic sensing, overflow alerts, and compression functions, greatly improving the efficiency of waste collection and management.
[0003] Currently, in order to prevent odors from the garbage from spreading into the air, the lids of existing trash cans are usually closed during use. However, the lids of traditional trash cans usually need to be opened and closed manually by the user. Although some trash cans can be opened by foot-operated switches, the user needs to keep their foot still when stepping on the switch, which is inconvenient for the user and reduces the convenience of garbage disposal. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] By setting up sensors, when a user approaches the trash can, the sensors can detect the user's presence and then control the motor to start. The motor output drives the drive sprocket to rotate clockwise. Then, using the transmission connection between the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket, the connecting shaft can cause the trash can lid to flip open. Finally, after the user leaves the sensor's detection range, the motor will drive the drive sprocket to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the connecting shaft will cause the trash can lid to flip in the opposite direction until it closes. Thus, the above structure enables the automatic opening and closing of the trash can lid, improving the convenience of throwing away trash.
[0015] By moving the movable block with the lever, the locking pin retracts, and then the germicidal lamp is inserted into the installation hole.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] 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.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a large cover structure for an automatic garbage bin in a garbage station, including an outer bin 1, a partition 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer bin 1, an inner bin 3 set on the top of the partition 2, and a sensor 4 installed on the outer wall of the outer bin 1.
[0025] A controller 5 is installed on the inner wall of the outer bin 1. Two rotating seats 6 are fixedly connected to the back of the outer bin 1. A connecting shaft 7 is rotatably connected to one end of the two rotating seats 6. A connecting block 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting shaft 7. A garbage cover 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting block 8. A driven sprocket 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting shaft 7. A motor 11 is installed at the bottom inside the outer bin 1. A drive sprocket 12 is connected to the output end of the motor 11. A protective cover 14 is installed on the outer wall of the outer bin 1. A chain 13 is installed inside the protective cover 14.
[0026] Preferably, the driven sprocket 10 and the driving sprocket 12 are connected by a chain 13. The driven sprocket 10 and the driving sprocket 12 are located inside the protective cover 14. The garbage cover 9 is connected to the outer bucket 1 by a rotating seat 6, a connecting shaft 7, and a connecting block 8.
[0027] In practical use, sensor 4 is set so that when a user approaches the trash can, sensor 4 can receive the signal and then controller 5 controls motor 11 to start, so that the output of motor 11 can drive the drive sprocket 12 to rotate clockwise. Then, using the transmission connection between drive sprocket 12 and driven sprocket 10, the connecting shaft 7 can drive the trash can lid 9 to flip open. Finally, after the user leaves the detection range of sensor 4, motor 11 will drive drive sprocket 12 to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the connecting shaft 7 will drive the trash can lid 9 to flip in the opposite direction until it closes. Thus, the above structure can realize the automatic opening and closing of the trash can lid, improving the convenience of throwing away trash.
[0028] Preferably, the surface of the garbage cover 9 has an installation opening 15, and a germicidal lamp 16 is installed inside the installation opening 15. Four fixing blocks 17 are fixedly connected to the top of the germicidal lamp 16. The outer wall of the four fixing blocks 17 has a slot 18. Two mounting seats 19 are fixedly connected to the top of the garbage cover 9. Springs 20 are installed inside the two mounting seats 19. The ends of the springs 20 are connected to movable blocks 21. One end of the movable blocks 21 is fixedly connected to a locking pin 22. The four fixing blocks 17 are opposite each other in pairs. The size of one end of the slot 18 and the locking pin 22 are matched. The germicidal lamp 16 can form an elastic locking structure with the garbage cover 9 through the installation opening 15, fixing blocks 17, slot 18, mounting seats 19, springs 20, movable blocks 21, and locking pin 22.
[0029] In practical use, the movable block 21 is moved by the lever to retract the locking pin 22, and then the germicidal lamp 16 is inserted into the mounting port 15. At this time, the two opposing fixing blocks 17 will be located at the end of the mounting base 19. Then, by releasing the lever, the locking pin 22 can be popped out and inserted into the slot 18 under the action of the spring 20. Thus, the germicidal lamp 16 can be installed on the large lid of the trash can. Finally, the germicidal lamp 16 can achieve the effect of sterilizing the internal trash, thereby improving its practicality.
[0030] Working principle: First, sensor 4 detects when a user approaches the trash can. Then, controller 5 starts motor 11, causing the output of motor 11 to rotate the drive sprocket 12 clockwise. The transmission connection between drive sprocket 12 and driven sprocket 10 causes connecting shaft 7 to flip the trash can lid 9 open. Finally, after the user leaves the detection range of sensor 4, motor 11 rotates drive sprocket 12 counterclockwise, causing connecting shaft 7 to flip the trash can lid 9 in the opposite direction. The mechanism rotates until the lid closes, thus enabling the automatic opening and closing of the trash can lid, improving convenience when throwing away trash. A lever moves the movable block 21, causing the locking pin 22 to retract, and then the germicidal lamp 16 is inserted into the mounting opening 15. At this time, the two opposing fixing blocks 17 are located at the ends of the mounting base 19. Releasing the lever allows the locking pin 22 to pop out under the action of the spring 20 and insert into the slot 18, thus installing the germicidal lamp 16 on the trash can lid. Finally, the germicidal lamp 16 achieves the effect of sterilizing the internal trash, thereby improving practicality.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
