Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional trash transportation methods in buildings are time-consuming, disrupt the home environment with bad smells, and result in refuse adhering to chute walls, contaminating the air and space.
Innovation Solution
A remote-controlled trash transporter system with a carrier on wheels, a motorized remote box, conveyor bar, and rails allows for automated trash transport without manual effort, minimizing odor dispersion and chute contamination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If residents carry refuse manually from each room to the accumulation site, then the trash can be transported to the designated area, but it is time-consuming and disrupts the home environment with bad smells
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical carrying with an automated robotic system. A robot equipped with sensors navigates through the building, collects refuse from designated locations, and transports it to the accumulation site automatically, eliminating the need for residents to manually carry trash.
Solution Approach 2:
The robotic system performs trash collection and transport autonomously without human intervention. The robot navigates, identifies trash locations, collects refuse, and delivers it to the accumulation site on its own, making the system self-sufficient for the trash transportation task.
2Ease of operation
If residents carry refuse through public spaces, then trash can be disposed of, but bad smells are discharged and contaminate the air and environment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the harmful element (refuse) from the living environment by having the robotic system collect and transport it through dedicated pathways or enclosed routes, separating the trash handling process from residential spaces and preventing odor dispersion into living areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The robotic system acts as an intermediary between the refuse and the accumulation site. It handles the trash transport task, preventing direct contact between residents and refuse, and uses enclosed or controlled transport methods to prevent odor release into the environment.
3Ease of operation
If a traditional trash chute system is used, then refuse can be thrown from upper floors, but the refuse adheres to the inner walls and gives off bad smells
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the passive gravitational chute system with an active robotic collection system. Instead of relying on gravity to move refuse through open chutes where it adheres to walls, the robotic system actively collects and transports refuse in enclosed containers, preventing wall adhesion and odor release.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The system efficiently transports trash without manpower, reduces odor exposure, and is simple and cost-effective to manufacture and use, maintaining a cleaner environment within buildings.
Implementation Method 1
a remote box having a remote transmitter and a motor configured to move the carrier
Implementation Method 2
a carrier having wheels, configured to receive trash
Implementation Method 3
a swivel plate disposed at a bottom of the carrier and configured to rotate the trash

AI summary
A remote-controlled system and method for transporting trash comprises a carrier with wheels, a remote box having a remote transmitter and a motor, a conveyor bar attached to at least one stand, and a pair of rails. The carrier sits on the rails and moves along the rails based on its communication with the remote box. The box has a remote transmitter and a motor component that commands the carrier to move vertically down the rails at the discretion of a user. The rails are parallel to the conveyor bar and are attached to the remote box on the conveyor bar.
