AI Technical Summary
The lids of existing trash cans strike the edge of the can body at a relatively fast speed when closing, causing noise interference, loosening of hinge connections, shortening of service life, and safety hazards, especially when the user's hand is not removed in time, which can easily lead to injury.
A slow-descent device was designed, which uses a combination of a rotating block, a rotating shaft, a rotating plate, a linkage plate, a slider and a buffer spring to absorb the impact force when the lid descends, thus achieving a slow descent.
It effectively reduces the impact noise when the lid closes, prevents the hinge from loosening, improves the safety and lifespan of the trash can, and avoids the risk of pinching injuries.
