Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of trash cans, and in particular to a sensor-activated trash can. Background Technology

[0002] Trash cans, also known as garbage bins or waste bins, are containers used to collect and temporarily store various types of waste (such as household waste, industrial waste, medical waste, etc.). With the development of the times, there are now sensor-activated smart trash cans for storage.

[0003] Currently, existing sensor-operated trash cans often use a single snap-on or magnetic mechanism to lock the lid to the can body. During handling or accidental impacts, these mechanisms are prone to loosening or even malfunctioning, causing the lid to open unexpectedly. This can not only cause trash to spill out and pollute the environment, but also allow odors to escape, affecting the air quality of the surrounding space. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the above-mentioned technologies.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose a sensor-activated trash can that, through a designed locking mechanism, achieves a secure lock between the lid and the body, improving the practicality and stability of the trash can and effectively preventing trash from scattering and odor from leaking out due to accidental opening of the lid.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this utility model proposes a sensor-operated trash can, comprising: a can body, a can lid, a locking mechanism, and a sensor switch. The can lid is mounted on the can body, the locking mechanism is disposed on the can body, and the sensor switch is mounted on the can lid. The locking mechanism includes a fixing block, a pressing rod, a toggle block, a mounting block, a first spring, and a latch. The fixing block is mounted on the can lid, the pressing rod is slidably connected to the fixing block, the toggle block is sleeved on the pressing rod, the mounting block is fixed to the outer wall of the can body, the first spring is fixed inside the mounting block, and the latch is connected to the other end of the first spring.

[0007] In addition, the sensor-activated trash can proposed above according to this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0008] Specifically, the outer wall of the barrel is provided with a fixing component, which includes a fixing plate, a bolt, a fixing plate and a second spring. The fixing plate is fixed to the outer wall of the barrel, and the inner wall of the fixing plate has a fixing hole. The bolt is installed on the outer wall of the fixing plate, the fixing plate is connected to the other end of the bolt, and the second spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the bolt.

[0009] Specifically, the lid has a recessed handle.

[0010] Specifically, incense blocks are installed on the lid of the barrel.

[0011] Specifically, a dustproof net is installed on the lid of the bucket.

[0012] Specifically, the outer wall of the fixed plate is fixed with anti-slip stickers.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following advantages: This utility model provides a sensor-activated trash can, which, through a designed locking mechanism, achieves a secure lock between the lid and the can body. During normal use, the latch is secured to the can body by the action of a first spring, preventing accidental opening of the lid. When it is necessary to open the lid, the user simply presses the lever, causing the lever to move and push the latch away from the can body, allowing the lid to open easily. This design not only improves the practicality and stability of the trash can but also effectively avoids the problems of trash spillage and odor leakage caused by accidental opening of the lid.

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0022] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an embodiment of the present invention: a sensor-activated trash can with an open lid.

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a sensor-operated trash can with a lid, comprising a body 1, a lid 2, a locking mechanism 3, and a sensor switch 9.

[0024] The bucket lid 2 is mounted on the bucket body 1, the locking mechanism 3 is disposed on the bucket body 1, the induction switch 9 is mounted on the bucket lid 2, and the locking mechanism 3 includes a fixing block 31, a pressing rod 32, a toggle block 33, a mounting block 34, a first spring 35, and a latch 36.

[0025] The fixing block 31 is installed on the bucket lid 2, the push rod 32 is slidably connected to the fixing block 31, the push block 33 is sleeved on the push rod 32, the mounting block 34 is fixed to the outer wall of the bucket body 1, the first spring 35 is fixed inside the mounting block 34, and the latch 36 is connected to the other end of the first spring 35.

[0026] Specifically, when the trash can sensor switch 9 detects a hand or object approaching, the lid 2 automatically opens, allowing for convenient disposal of trash. Once the hand or object leaves the sensor switch 9's range, the lid 2 automatically closes under the action of the locking mechanism 3, preventing odors from escaping the trash can and preventing dust and bacteria from entering, thus ensuring cleanliness and hygiene. When the user needs to open the lid 2, they simply press the lever 32; the lever 33 moves accordingly, pushing the latch 36 to disengage from the fixed part on the can body 1, allowing the lid 2 to open. When the user releases the lever 32, the first spring 35 returns to its original position, causing the latch 36 to re-engage with the fixed part, thus automatically locking the lid 2.

[0027] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, a fixing component 4 is provided on the outer wall of the barrel body 1.

[0028] The fixing component 4 includes a fixing plate 41, a bolt 43, a fixing disc 44, and a second spring 45.

[0029] The fixing plate 41 is fixed to the outer wall of the barrel body 1. The inner wall of the fixing plate 41 is provided with a fixing hole 42. The bolt 43 is installed on the outer wall of the fixing plate 41 and passes through the outer wall of the fixing plate 41. The fixing plate 44 is connected to the other end of the bolt 43. The second spring 45 is sleeved on the outer wall of the bolt 43.

[0030] Specifically, when a user needs to put on a garbage bag, they can pass one end of the garbage bag through the fixing hole 42 and then pull the latch 43 to make the fixing plate 44 fit tightly against the garbage bag. The elastic force of the second spring 45 will keep the fixing plate 44 firmly against the garbage bag, thus preventing the garbage bag from slipping or falling off during use and improving the convenience of using the garbage can. At the same time, the design of the fixing component 4 also makes it easier and faster to replace the garbage bag. The user only needs to gently pull the latch 43 to remove the old garbage bag, put on the new garbage bag, and pull the latch 43 to fix it.

[0031] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, a concave handle 5 is installed on the bucket lid 2.

[0032] Understandably, the concave handle 5 is designed to make it easier for users to apply force when opening or closing the lid 2, thus improving ease of use.

[0033] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, an incense block 6 is installed on the lid 2.

[0034] Understandably, the design of the incense block 6 not only emits a pleasant fragrance to mask odors inside the trash can and improve the comfort of the user environment, but also the fragrance emitted by the incense block 6 can have a certain insect-repelling effect, preventing mosquitoes and other pests from gathering around the trash can, and further maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the trash can.

[0035] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, a dustproof net 7 is installed on the lid 2.

[0036] Understandably, the design of the dustproof net 7 can effectively prevent external dust and debris from entering the incense block 6, thus maintaining the effectiveness of the incense block 6.

[0037] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the fixed plate 44 is fixed with anti-slip stickers 8.

[0038] Understandably, the anti-slip pad 8 design increases the friction between the fixing plate 44 and the garbage bag, further preventing the garbage bag from sliding or falling off during use, thus improving the stability and safety of the garbage can.

[0039] Working Principle: When the trash can is needed, a hand or object approaches the can, triggering the sensor, and the lid 2 automatically opens for easy disposal. After disposal, the hand or object leaves the sensing range, and the lid 2 automatically closes under the action of the locking mechanism 3. The latch 36 engages with the fixing part under the elastic force of the first spring 35, achieving automatic locking of the lid 2 and preventing odors from escaping from the inside of the trash can and the entry of external dust and bacteria. Throughout the process, the user does not need to manually operate the lid 2, making it both convenient and hygienic. In addition, this sensor-operated trash can also conveniently fix and replace trash bags by setting a fixing component 4, improving the ease of use of the trash can. The concave handle 5 design makes it easy for the user to apply force when opening or closing the lid 2, further enhancing the ease of use.
