CLASSROOM WASTE BIN WITH INTEGRATED WASTE SEPARATION AND SMART WEIGHING SYSTEM

Abstract

This invention is a mechanical waste bin with integrated sorting compartments and a built-in weighing system, designed for use in educational institutions. The product collects paper, plastic, and household waste separately under a single outer casing, while a helical spring-powered mechanical mass measuring mechanism located at the base of each compartment instantly displays the weight of the collected waste on a display panel. The invention aims to raise environmental awareness in schools without requiring electricity or batteries.

Description

1 TARIFF Classroom Waste Bin with Integrated Waste Sorting and Smart Weighing System Technical Field: This invention focuses on the collection of solid waste at source in schools and educational institutions. smart systems that enable separation and mechanically measure the amount of recyclable materials collected. It relates to recycling and waste management units. 5 Known Technology: To raise awareness about recycling in existing schools, side panels are placed in classrooms. Multiple trash cans are placed side-by-side, or large cardboard boxes are used. This This situation leads to unnecessary space being taken up in the classroom, visual pollution, and students misusing the trash. By throwing them into the bins, it reduces the separation quality. Also, it's difficult to tell which class belongs to which. By collecting recyclable materials (paper, plastic, etc.), they instantly contribute to the environment. This cannot be monitored in this way, which means that classroom tournaments or activities that would motivate students are not possible. This makes organizing reward events difficult. The current electronic scales... However, these systems are expensive and require battery or electrical infrastructure in schools. It is not sustainable. Technical Problems Solved by the Invention: The invention solves 15 problems under a single compact main outer casing (1). It prevents loss of classroom space by housing three different integrated inner chambers (2). Common Thanks to a pedal mechanism (4) the hinged lids (3) are synchronized but independent It can be opened in this way. As the most important technical innovation; to the base of each inner chamber (2) a fully mechanical spring-loaded mechanical mass measurement device (5) and the main outer body Thanks to the transparent panel (9) on (1), the weight of the discarded waste does not require a battery or electricity. It can be monitored instantly without being heard. In this way, schools can achieve zero waste management at zero cost. It also provides a concrete and fun infrastructure for inter-class recycling competitions. is created. Explanation of the Figures:  Figure 1: General exterior view of a classroom waste bin with integrated waste sorting and smart weighing. 25 It is a perspective view.  Figure 2: The product's internal chambers (2) and the mechanical mass measurement device at the bottom (5) is the exploded (open) view showing.  Figure 3: Front view of the beehive.  Figure 4: Right-side view of the hive. 30  Figure 5: View of the beehive from the left side.  Figure 6: Top view of the beehive.  Figure 7: Bottom view of the beehive.

Helical spring  8. Indicator needle 2  9. Transparent panel (weight scale) Description of the invention: The invention is a main outer casing made of plastic or metal material (1), at least three separate units are positioned vertically inside this main outer shell (1) independent inner compartment (2) (paper, plastic and household waste compartments), upper parts of the inner compartments (2) hinged covers (3), a pedal mechanism (4) that opens the hinged covers (3) and every 5 consisting of a mechanical mass measuring device (5) placed at the base of an inner chamber (2). income. Mechanical mass measuring device (5); a base plate (6) on which the inner chamber (2) is placed, Calibrated helical springs (7) placed vertically under the base plate (6) and from the base plate (6) to the main outer body (1) surface, an indicator pointer (8) 10 It is formed. As garbage is thrown into the inner chamber (2), the weight increases, the helical springs (7) stretch downwards and to this Depending on the indicator needle (8), the weight located on the transparent panel (9) on the main outer body (1) It moves downwards on the scale. Thus, without an electrical connection, within the classroom The amount of waste collected can be monitored instantly and visually.
