AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing flip-top trash cans in hospitals have friction between the flip-top and the cabinet panel, leading to stains and bacterial growth, which poses a risk of cross-infection and hygiene problems.

Method used

The flip-top component is connected to the flip cover, which is completely separated from the panel when it is open, forming a contactless space. Combined with the drive mechanism, the flip cover can be opened and closed automatically, avoiding frictional contact, and the waste is guided to slide down through the guide channel.

Benefits of technology

It effectively prevents stains and bacterial growth, ensures the hygiene and safety of the medical environment, facilitates cleaning and disinfection, reduces operational intensity and failure rate, and improves user experience.

Abstract

The application provides a flip-up type garbage cabinet, which comprises a cabinet body, a garbage delivery opening and a cavity, the garbage delivery opening is communicated with the cavity, and the garbage delivery opening is located on a top panel of the cabinet body; a garbage can is arranged in the cavity, and a top opening of the garbage can is opposite to the garbage delivery opening; a flip-up component is hinged to a bottom surface of the panel at a first end; and a flip cover is connected to a second end of the flip-up component at a bottom surface, the flip cover has an open state and a closed state, when the flip cover is in the open state, the flip cover is separated from the panel to form a non-contact space, the non-contact space avoids direct friction with a top surface of the panel in a traditional butt hinge connection mode, avoids stains remaining on a contact surface, and simultaneously exposes all surfaces of a cooperation area of the panel and the flip cover to a cleanable range when the flip cover is in the open state, so that complete disinfection is facilitated, liquid penetration and bacterial breeding hidden dangers are prevented, and medical environment hygiene safety is ensured.
