Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a garbage container, especially to a lid of the garbage container.
- Generally, a container such as a barrel body is used to receive garbage, and the garbage is dumped until the barrel body is full. The barrel body is covered by a lid member so as to prevent odor of the garbage from emanating therefrom, block insects from entering therein and avoid rummaging by animals. However, hands of a user often get dirty, or the user must free up his/her hands to open the lid member, which is inconvenient. Hence, a sensing lid for a garbage container is developed, and the problems as described above are solved by automatically closing and opening the lid.
- However, the sensing lid is easy to be actuated and opened when objects, people or pets pass through a sensing area of the sensing lid, which results in unnecessary actuation of the lid member so that the odor of the garbage is easy to emanate from the garbage container.
- The present invention is, therefore, arisen to obviate or at least mitigate the above-mentioned disadvantages.
- The main object of the present invention is to provide a lid of a garbage container which is automatically openable and is kept closed without unexpected opening due to unexpected external actuation.
- To achieve the above and other objects, the present invention provides a lid of a garbage container, configured to be assembled on a barrel body and define a receiving space with the barrel body, the lid of the garbage container including: a main body, an opening and closing system and a locking device. The main body includes an input opening configured to be communicated with the receiving space. The opening and closing system is disposed on the main body and includes a lid member, a processing unit, a sensing unit and a driving unit. The lid member is disposed on the main body and openably covers the input opening. The sensing unit is electrically connected with the processing unit. The driving unit is electrically connected between the processing unit and the lid member. The sensing unit is activatable, from an outside of the garbage container, to transmit an actuation signal to the processing unit. The processing unit receives the actuation signal and drives the driving unit, and the driving unit drives the lid member to move along a moving path and uncover the input opening. The locking device includes a blocking member disposed on the main body, and the blocking member is configured to be externally operable and movable between a locking position and a releasing position. When the blocking member is in the locking position, the blocking member is on the moving path and at least partially interferes with and blocks the lid member; when the blocking member is in the releasing position, the blocking member is off the moving path and free of interference and non-blocking with the lid member.

Figs. 1 to 5 for a preferable embodiment of the present invention. A lid of a garbage container of the present invention is configured to be assembled on abarrel body 5 and define a receivingspace 51 with thebarrel body 5. The lid of a garbage container includes a main body 1, an opening andclosing system 2 and alocking device 27. - The main body 1 includes an
input opening 11 configured to be communicated with thereceiving space 51 for receiving garbage. The opening andclosing system 2 is disposed on the main body 1 and includes alid member 21, aprocessing unit 22, asensing unit 23 and adriving unit 24. - The
lid member 21 is disposed on the main body 1 and openably covers the input opening 11 so as to block insects from entering the garbage container and prevent odor of the garbage emanating out of thereceiving space 51. Thesensing unit 23 is electrically connected with theprocessing unit 22, and thedriving unit 24 is electrically connected between theprocessing unit 22 and thelid member 21. Thesensing unit 23 is activatable, from an outside of the garbage container, to transmit an actuation signal to theprocessing unit 22. Theprocessing unit 22 receives the actuation signal and drives thedriving unit 24, and thedriving unit 24 drives thelid member 21 to move along a movingpath 4 and uncover theinput opening 11. Thesensing unit 23 may be a distance sensor configured to detect a distance from an object to thelid member 21, wherein thesensing unit 23 may be an optical sensor, magnetic sensor, ultrasonic sensor or the like. - The
locking device 27 includes a blockingmember 3 disposed on the main body 1, and the blockingmember 3 is configured to be externally operable and movable between a locking position and a releasing position. when the blockingmember 3 is in the locking position, the blockingmember 3 is on the movingpath 4 and at least partially interferes with and blocks thelid member 21. When the blockingmember 3 is in the releasing position, the blockingmember 3 is off the movingpath 4 and free of interference and non-blocking with thelid member 21. Therefore, the blockingmember 3 interferes with and blocks thelid member 21 when the garbage container is not in use so that thelid member 21 will not be opened even if thesensing unit 23 detects an object passing thereby. - In this embodiment, the blocking
member 3 is swingably disposed on the main body 1 and swingable between the locking position and the releasing position so that the blockingmember 3 is easy to control and quickly switch to different positions. Specifically, the blockingmember 3 includes ashaft 31 and ablocking portion 32. Theshaft 31 is rotatably disposed on the main body 1, and theblocking portion 32 is transversely disposed on theshaft 31. The blockingportion 32 is rotatable about theshaft 31. When the blockingmember 3 is in the locking position, theblocking portion 32 is on the movingpath 4 to block thelid member 21. In other embodiments, the blocking member may interfere with and block the lid member by any mechanical means. - Preferably, the blocking
member 3 further includes anabutting portion 33, and theabutting portion 33 is protrudingly disposed on the blockingportion 32. When the blockingmember 3 is in the locking position, theabutting portion 33 is abutted against thelid member 21 so that thelid member 21 is unmovable and keep covering the input opening 11. Theblocking portion 32 includes afirst end 321 connected with theshaft 31 and asecond end 322 connected with theabutting portion 33, and theblocking portion 32 is tapered in a direction from thefirst end 321 toward thesecond end 322. - The
abutting portion 33 is preferably shaped as arcuate convex. When the blockingmember 3 is swinging, theabutting portion 33 is smoothly and slidably abutted against a surface of thelid member 21 so as to provide smooth movement of the abuttingportion 33 and keep surface integrity of thelid member 21. - Preferably, the
shaft 31, the blockingportion 32 and theabutting portion 33 are integrally formed of one piece so as to have preferable structural strength. - After the blocking
member 3 blocks thelid member 21, it is necessary to provide a protection mechanism for preventing thedriving unit 24 from continuously operating. - In this embodiment, the opening and
closing system 2 further includes atiming unit 25 which is electrically connected to theprocessing unit 22. Thetiming unit 25 is actuatable by theprocessing unit 22. When thedriving unit 24 drives thelid member 21, thetiming unit 25 starts and counts to a preset time, and theprocessing unit 22 transmits a stop signal to stop thedriving unit 24. When the blockingmember 3 is in the locking position and abutted against thelid member 21, thedriving unit 24 is operable during the preset time. For example, if the preset time is 2 second, thedriving unit 24 stops operating after a period of 2 seconds so as to avoid overheating, overload or damage of thedriving unit 24. - Preferably, the opening and
closing system 2 further includes awarning unit 26 which is electrically connected to theprocessing unit 22. When thedriving unit 24 received the stop signal, theprocessing unit 22 actuates thewarning unit 26 so as to remind a user of that an object passes thereby when the blockingmember 3 is in the locking position. Therefore, the user can determine whether to change a position of the blockingmember 3 or switch off a power supply of thedriving unit 24, and the user may determine whether thesensing unit 23 is operable. Thewarning unit 26 includes at least one of a light-emitting element, a sound-producing element and a display element. - Please refer to
figure 6 which shown another embodiment of the present invention. The lockingdevice 27 further includes aswitch 28, and thesensing unit 23, theprocessing unit 22, the drivingunit 24 and an external power supply are electrically connected to one another to form acircuit 6. Theswitch 28 and the blockingmember 3 are comovable with each other, and theswitch 28 is electrically connected with thecircuit 6. When the blockingmember 3 is in the locking position, theswitch 28 switches off thecircuit 6 and the drivingunit 24 is non-operable so that thelid member 21 is unmovable. When the blockingmember 3 is in the releasing position, theswitch 28 switches on thecircuit 6 and the drivingunit 24 is operable. - For example, the
switch 28 is electrically connected between the drivingunit 24 and theprocessing unit 22. When the blockingmember 3 is in the locking position, theswitch 28 disconnects thecircuit 6 and the drivingunit 24 and theprocessing unit 22 are uncommunicative with each other. When the blockingmember 3 is in the releasing position, theswitch 28 connects the circuit and the drivingunit 24 and theprocessing unit 22 are communicative with each other. - In summary, the locking device blocks the lid member when the garbage container is not in use, which can effectively prevent the lid member from unnecessary actuation so as to reduce opening times of the lid member and prevent the odor of the garbage from emanating from the garbage container.
- Although particular embodiments of the invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
