Solution Overview
Problem
Existing garbage cans lack intelligence in opening mechanisms, have inadequate deodorization systems, and are cumbersome in design, leading to synchronization errors, excessive humidity, and difficulties in packaging and logistics.
Innovation Solution
A roller shutter-type intelligent garbage can with a double-curtain opening mode, powered by a single motor through a connecting rod gear assembly, and equipped with an integrated deodorization box and infrared sensor for gesture-controlled operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If a two-curtain opening mode is used with a power mechanism to simultaneously open and close both curtains, then the garbage can achieves intelligent opening functionality, but the structure becomes more complex and synchronization errors occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the control of both curtains into a single power mechanism. The connecting rod gear assembly integrates the drive for the first curtain and second curtain, allowing one motor to simultaneously control both curtains through a unified transmission system, thereby reducing structural complexity while maintaining intelligent opening functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a connecting rod gear assembly as an intermediary mechanism between the motor and the two curtains. This intermediary component enables synchronized movement of both curtains through a single power source, eliminating the need for separate motors for each curtain and reducing synchronization errors
2Object-generated harmful factors
If spray is used for traditional deodorization methods, then deodorization is achieved, but excessive humidity is produced leading to more bacteria and odor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical state and delivery method of the deodorization agent from liquid spray to solid/semi-solid granules. The deodorization box contains deodorization granules that are released in a controlled manner, avoiding the excessive humidity problem associated with spray methods while still achieving effective odor neutralization
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses replaceable deodorization granules in a deodorization box, which can be easily replaced when depleted. This approach is simpler and more effective than maintaining a complex spray system, and the granules provide sustained deodorization without producing humidity
3Strength
If the garbage can is formed in one piece with traditional structure, then structural integrity is maintained, but packaging and logistics transportation costs increase and consumer mobility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the garbage can into multiple separable components: a reusable main body and a detachable bucket. This segmentation allows the bucket to be removed and replaced easily, reducing packaging volume for storage and transportation while maintaining the structural integrity of the main body when assembled
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 solution provides a faster and more accurate opening mechanism, improved deodorization efficiency by directing odor towards the garbage, and enhanced convenience through intelligent gesture control, while reducing packaging and logistics burdens.
