With the general improvement of people’s environmental awareness and aesthetic level, the types and quantities of trash cans are constantly being updated. People pay more attention to the beauty and applicability of trash cans, and the products are also developing in the direction of “delicacy” and “smart”.
Many countries in the world have applied for patent inventions for many new smart trash cans, but most of their patents are design patents, which have been greatly affected in the application. Since its launch, the smart trash can has been warmly welcomed by users. Because of its large market demand and low investment, it is also favored by small and medium investors.
1. The functional innovation of the smart trash can is reflected in the following aspects:
1.1 The flexibility of the trash can. That is, the size and capacity of the smart trash can are adjusted according to the scope of use, which is more in line with the different needs of people.
1.2 The kitchen trash can prevents odors from escaping. The new type of trash can uses a sealing ring to seal the trash can, which will shorten the service life of the mechanical system. Even if the garbage is refrigerated at ultra-low temperature, it will cause a large amount of power consumption.
1.3 Garbage classification. Using artificial intelligence technology to classify garbage is a high-tech subject research. At present, there is no equipment that can sort and recycle garbage on a commodity basis without relying on the help of manpower. In addition, the household trash can is not large, and there is no garbage collection classification.
2. Several types of smart trash cans currently on the market:
2.1 Electric button: Generally, there are several buttons on the trash can. When you press one of them, the lid of the trash can opens electrically. Put the trash in the trash can and the lid will close automatically after a few seconds. The disadvantage of this type of trash can is that it actually has to be touched by hand. It is not like the traditional method of using manpower to force open the lid through the torque of the mechanical device, but by pressing the torque of the mechanical device with the hand to open the lid.
2.2 Infrared induction flip cover: This kind of induction trash can generally does not need to be touched, and it has a good guarantee in terms of environmental sanitation. Generally, an infrared sensor is installed on the top of the trash can. people can swing their arms or after staying on the barrel for a period of time, the data signal collected by the sensor is input into the central processing unit, and the mechanical system will respond and open the lid. Throw it in the trash again, and it will automatically turn off after a few seconds.
2.3 Side-pull smart trash can with infrared sensor. This side-pull lid-opening trash can avoids the problem of overlapping and covering the flap area, but its magnetic induction sensitivity is not high, and the response time is slow, which cannot guarantee sufficient convenience and speed.
Analyzing the prospects of the smart trash can industry, we can know that the smart trash can has changed the traditional trash can with a lid, which must be opened with hands or feet. For the first time, a series of advanced key technologies such as full intelligent control, infrared induction, and mechatronics are applied to the trash can industry, so that the trash can can hold garbage more reasonably and conveniently.
