Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of intelligent trash can technology, and in particular relates to a trash can dispensing structure based on an intelligent mobile base. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of smart home and smart public facility technologies, smart trash cans, as key products for improving the convenience and hygiene of living and working environments, have gradually replaced traditional manual trash cans and are widely used in various scenarios such as homes, office buildings, shopping malls, and hospitals. Existing smart trash cans typically integrate functions such as sensor-activated opening and closing, and odor purification. Some high-end products also feature intelligent control functions such as capacity monitoring, remote control via APP, or voice control, which to some extent improves the user experience and environmental management efficiency.
[0003] However, current smart trash cans still have obvious functional and structural limitations, making it difficult to fully meet users' needs for "convenience in all scenarios" and "structural stability": On the one hand, most smart trash cans still adopt a fixed placement design and lack a stable lifting structure. When users need to dispose of waste or clean the trash can, they need to bend over to a certain extent, which is not only laborious but also easy to cause waste to spill. This is especially true for people with mobility impairments, making it a high barrier to entry for them.
[0004] On the other hand, the existing smart trash cans have imperfect flip-top transmission and sealing structure designs: the flip-top of some products is driven by only a single motor, which is prone to problems such as deviation in the opening and closing angle and jamming. Moreover, the outer shell components are mostly simple splicing structures, which are prone to deformation of the outer shell due to external impact or pressure from the weight of internal components after long-term use. This not only affects the structural stability, but also causes odors inside the trash can to leak out through the joint gaps, damaging the air quality of the surrounding environment. It is difficult to meet the dual requirements of "intelligent" and "practical". Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems that existing smart trash cans are mostly fixed and lack a stable lifting structure, which makes it difficult for users to bend over excessively and exert effort when disposing of or cleaning them, and also makes it easy to spill waste. At the same time, their flip-top transmission is prone to angle deviation and jamming, the outer shell components are prone to deformation and odor leakage, making it difficult to balance intelligence and practicality. Therefore, this utility model provides a trash can disposal structure based on a smart mobile base.
[0006] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solution: a trash can disposal structure based on an intelligent mobile base, including an intelligent mobile base that achieves horizontal displacement through intelligent means, a trash can lifting component is provided on the upper surface of the intelligent mobile base, a trash can is placed on top of the trash can lifting component, and an outer shell component is provided to fully enclose the trash can lifting component and the trash can, and the outer shell component is fixed to the upper surface of the intelligent mobile base;
[0007] The trash can lifting assembly includes a height transmission motor, a paddle is provided on the rotating shaft of the height transmission motor, and several sets of telescopic guide rods are arranged in a circumferential direction on the outside of the height transmission motor. Trash can trays are provided at the ends of the several sets of telescopic guide rods. The paddle forms an abutment with the bottom of the trash can tray under the drive of the height transmission motor.
[0008] The outer casing assembly consists of an upper shell and a lower shell that are connected to each other. The upper surface of the upper shell is open. A metal support frame is provided at the junction of the upper shell and the lower shell. Two sets of motor support platforms are arranged opposite each other on the metal support frame. Each motor support platform is equipped with a flip cover drive motor. Each flip cover drive motor drives a flip cover. The other end of the flip cover is rotatably connected to the motor support platform opposite to its flip cover drive motor. The flip cover fits into the opening of the upper shell. Each motor support platform is equipped with a non-contact proximity sensor. The two sets of non-contact proximity sensors are wired to the two sets of flip cover drive motors.
[0009] Furthermore, at least three sets of telescopic guide rods are provided. Each telescopic guide rod includes a guide bottom cylinder bolted to the intelligent mobile base. An extension rod is movably disposed within the cavity of the guide bottom cylinder, and the top of the extension rod is inserted into the bottom of the trash can tray.
[0010] Furthermore, the lever has an eccentric cam structure, and the bottom of the trash can tray is provided with a guide groove corresponding to the movement trajectory of the lever.
[0011] Furthermore, the inner wall of the lower housing cavity is provided with several sets of reinforcing support frames, one end of which is bolted to the metal support frame and the other end is bolted to the upper surface of the intelligent mobile base.
[0012] Furthermore, when the two sets of flip covers are closed, the inner walls of the openings of the upper housing form a sealing fit. At the same time, magnets are provided at the closing points of the two sets of flip covers, and sealing rings are provided on the inner walls of the openings of the upper housing.
[0013] Furthermore, a sensor mounting hole is provided on the motor support platform, and the contactless proximity sensor is embedded and fixed in the sensor mounting hole, with the sensing end of the contactless proximity sensor facing the outside of the upper housing.
[0014] Beneficial effects: This utility model has a reasonable design, simple and stable structure, and strong practicality, and has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. Enhanced position adjustment flexibility: By setting up an intelligent mobile base that can move horizontally, it breaks through the limitations of traditional intelligent trash cans and can adjust its position according to intelligent commands, reducing the trouble for users to actively go to dispose of their trash and significantly improving ease of use;
[0016] 2. Ensure stable lifting and lowering of trash cans: In the trash can lifting assembly, the height transmission motor drives the eccentric cam structure's paddle to move in conjunction with the guide groove, thereby lifting and lowering the trash can tray. At the same time, at least three sets of telescopic guide rods provide stable support through the movement of the guide bottom cylinder and the extension rod, ensuring that the trash can lifting and lowering process is smooth and without shaking, making it convenient for users to dispose of trash.
[0017] 3. Achieve precise and stable opening and closing of the flip cover: Two sets of flip cover drive motors drive the corresponding flip cover respectively, which can precisely control the opening and closing angle of the flip cover, avoid the opening and closing deviation and jamming problems that are easy to occur when driven by a single motor, improve the stability and reliability of the flip cover operation, and at the same time, the sealing effect is better, reducing the risk of odor spread.
[0018] 4. Enhanced stability and sealing of the outer shell structure: The reinforced support frame on the inner wall of the lower shell is bolted to the metal support frame and the intelligent moving base at both ends, which effectively improves the overall structural strength of the outer shell components and avoids deformation caused by external impact or internal component pressure. At the same time, a sealing ring is set at the opening of the upper shell, which, together with the sealing cooperation when the two sets of flip covers are closed, further effectively prevents the leakage of odors from inside the trash can and ensures the air quality of the surrounding environment.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0028] Example 1:
[0029] Combination Figure 1-5 The illustrated trash can dispensing structure based on an intelligent mobile base includes an intelligent mobile base 1 that achieves horizontal displacement through intelligent means. The intelligent mobile base 1 is an existing, mature device, integrating an intelligent control module, a drive module, and a power module. The intelligent control module can receive and parse voice commands, action commands from an additional gesture control device, and voice commands from an AI system. It then outputs control signals to the drive module, which in turn drives the power components, thereby enabling the intelligent mobile base 1 to achieve directional displacement, turning, and fixed-point stopping in the horizontal plane. Simultaneously, the intelligent control module also establishes signal connections with the corresponding drive components in the subsequent trash can lifting assembly 2 and the outer shell assembly 4, allowing it to operate according to preset parameters. The program or external command synchronously controls the collaborative work of each component to realize the intelligent operation of the overall structure. The upper surface of the intelligent mobile base 1 is fixed with a trash can lifting component 2 by bolts. A trash can 3 for collecting waste is placed on the trash can lifting component 2. The bottom of the trash can 3 is stably fitted with the load-bearing structure of the trash can lifting component 2 to ensure no deviation during the lifting process. The outer shell component 4 is fully covered by the trash can lifting component 2 and the trash can 3. The outer shell component 4 is fixed to the upper surface of the intelligent mobile base 1 by bolt connection. The outer shell component 4 can not only protect the internal trash can lifting component 2 and trash can 3 from dust and collision, but also effectively isolate the odor generated inside the trash can 3.
[0030] The trash can lifting assembly 2 includes a height drive motor 201 fixed to the upper surface of the intelligent mobile base 1 via a bracket. A lever 202 is fixedly mounted at the end of the rotating shaft of the height drive motor 201. Several sets of telescopic guide rods 203 are evenly distributed circumferentially around the outside of the height drive motor 201. The top ends of the telescopic guide rods 203 collectively support the trash can tray 204 of the trash can 3. When the height drive motor 201 receives a control signal from the integrated module of the intelligent mobile base 1, its rotating shaft drives the lever 202 to rotate synchronously. During rotation, the lever 202 moves away from the rotating shaft... The end of the lever 202 intermittently contacts the bottom of the trash can tray 204. When the protruding end of the lever 202 contacts the bottom of the trash can tray 204, it will push the trash can tray 204 to move upward. At this time, the telescopic guide rod 203 will extend synchronously under the tension of the tray, providing vertical guidance support for the tray. When the protruding end of the lever 202 turns away from the bottom of the tray, the trash can tray 204 moves downward under its own weight and the weight of the trash can 3. The telescopic guide rod 203 will retract synchronously. Through this cooperation, the trash can tray 204 can drive the trash can 3 to adjust its height, meeting the needs of different heights for disposal and cleaning.
[0031] The outer casing assembly 4 consists of an upper casing 401 and a lower casing 402 that are connected to each other. The upper casing 401 and the lower casing 402 are detachably connected by bolts for easy disassembly and maintenance. The upper surface of the upper casing 401 is open, which serves as a channel for waste disposal. When the trash can 3 rises to the designated position, its top opening aligns with the opening of the upper casing 401 for convenient disposal. A metal support frame 403 is clamped at the joint between the upper casing 401 and the lower casing 402. The metal support frame 403 fills the gap at the joint between the upper casing 401 and the lower casing 402. Two sets of motor support platforms 404 are arranged opposite each other on the metal support frame 403, and the two sets of motor support platforms 404 are positioned relative to the opening of the upper casing 401. The flip-cover drive motors 405 are symmetrically distributed along the center line and are bolted to each motor support platform 404. The output shaft of the flip-cover drive motor 405 is fixedly connected to one end of the flip-cover 406 to achieve power transmission. The other end of the flip-cover 406 is rotatably connected to the motor support platform 404 opposite to the flip-cover drive motor 405 via a rotating shaft, allowing the flip-cover 406 to rotate around the connection point at both ends. The size of the flip-cover 406 is adapted to the size of the opening of the upper shell 401. When the flip-cover 406 is closed, its surface can completely cover the opening of the upper shell 401, forming a sealed fit to prevent odor leakage. When it is necessary to dispose of waste, the flip-cover drive motor 405 drives the flip-cover 406 to rotate and open, revealing the disposal channel.
[0032] Each motor support platform 404 is fixedly equipped with a non-contact proximity sensor 407. The two sets of non-contact proximity sensors 407 are connected to the control terminals of the two sets of flip-cover drive motors 405 via wires. When the non-contact proximity sensor 407 comes into contact with a hand waving command, it will send a trigger signal to the flip-cover drive motor 405, controlling the flip-cover drive motor 405 to drive the flip cover 406 to open. This is a further optimization of the control method to improve the ease of use.
[0033] In this embodiment, at least three sets of telescopic guide rods 203 are provided. This number design allows for the formation of a stable force-bearing structure through multi-point support, preventing the trash can tray 204 from tilting or swaying when bearing the weight of the trash can 3 or during lifting and lowering, thus ensuring the smoothness of the overall lifting and lowering action. The telescopic guide rod 203 includes a guide bottom cylinder 2031 bolted to the intelligent mobile base 1. The guide bottom cylinder 2031 is a hollow cylindrical structure with one end closed and the other end open. An extension rod 2 is movably arranged inside the cavity of the guide bottom cylinder 2031. 032, the outer diameter of the extension rod 2032 and the inner diameter of the guide bottom cylinder 2031 are in clearance fit, with the clearance controlled between 0.1-0.3mm. This ensures that the extension rod 2032 can slide flexibly up and down within the guide bottom cylinder 2031, while avoiding radial swaying caused by excessive clearance. The top of the extension rod 2032 is interlocked with the bottom of the garbage can tray 204. Specifically, the bottom of the garbage can tray 204 has interlocking holes that match the top of the extension rod 2032 at the position corresponding to each set of extension rods 2032.
[0034] In this embodiment, the paddle 202 has an eccentric cam structure. When the long radius end of the paddle 202 moves toward the bottom of the trash can tray 204, it will gradually abut against the bottom of the tray and push the tray upward. When the short radius end of the paddle 202 turns to the bottom of the tray, the tray falls back downward under its own weight and the weight of the trash can 3. The rotational motion of the eccentric cam converts the circular motion of the motor into the vertical lifting motion of the tray, realizing the stable transmission of lifting power. In order to further improve the stability of the paddle 202 and the trash can tray 204, a guide groove 205 is provided at the bottom of the trash can tray 204 corresponding to the abutment motion trajectory of the paddle 202. This groove can accommodate the abutment end of the paddle 202 to move in the groove and prevent the paddle 202 from leaving the trajectory.
[0035] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the lower shell 402 cavity is provided with several sets of reinforcing support frames 408. The sets of reinforcing support frames 408 are evenly distributed along the circumference or axial direction of the lower shell 402. The specific distribution method can be adjusted according to the shape and stress characteristics of the lower shell 402. One end of the reinforcing support frame 408 is bolted to the metal support frame 403, and the other end of the reinforcing support frame 408 is bolted to the upper surface of the intelligent mobile base 1. This two-way fixing structure of "one end connected to the metal support frame 403 and the other end connected to the intelligent mobile base 1" makes the reinforcing support frame 408 form a "support bridge" connecting the lower shell 402, the metal support frame 403 and the intelligent mobile base 1, thereby improving the stability and service life of the entire trash can disposal structure.
[0036] In this embodiment, when the two sets of flip covers 406 are closed, they form a sealed fit with the inner wall of the opening of the upper housing 401. Specifically, the size of the two sets of flip covers 406 is precisely matched with the size of the opening of the upper housing 401. At the same time, the outer edges of the two sets of flip covers 406 are tightly fitted with the inner wall of the opening of the upper housing 401, further improving the sealing foundation when closed. In addition, magnets are provided at the closing points of the two sets of flip covers 406 to further enhance the closing effect. A sealing ring is provided on the inner wall of the opening of the upper housing 401. This elastic seal can effectively compensate for the dimensional deviations of the flip covers 406 or the upper housing 401 caused by processing errors and long-term wear, ensuring the long-term stability of the sealing effect.
[0037] In this embodiment, a sensor mounting hole is provided on the motor support platform 404. The contactless proximity sensor 407 is embedded and fixed in the sensor mounting hole, and the sensing end of the contactless proximity sensor 407 faces the outside of the upper housing 401. This orientation design allows the sensor to directly detect the approaching movement of an object (such as a user's hand) outside the opening of the upper housing 401 corresponding to its mounting location. When it enters the sensor's sensing range, the contactless proximity sensor 407 will immediately output an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the control end of the flip-cover drive motor 405 through a wire, triggering the motor to drive the flip-cover 406 to open, improving the convenience of further deployment.
[0038] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention.
