Description

  The present invention relates to a waste bin for sanitary goods disposal.

  The sanitary napkin is exchanged, for example, in a toilet. Therefore, in many cases, women's toilets are provided with a trash can to discard used sanitary napkins.

  When the used sanitary napkin is thrown into the trash can, discomfort may occur if the used sanitary napkin in the trash can is seen. In addition, people who later throw away their own sanitary napkins may feel uncomfortable.

  In order to prevent the inside of the trash box from being seen as much as possible, there is a trash box provided with a lid member and a tray on the top. When throwing away the used sanitary napkin in this trash can, receive the sanitary napkin with a saucer that covers the opening as much as possible so that the inside of the trash can is not seen, and then drop the sanitary napkin into the trash can The opening is closed with a lid member while tilting the saucer.

  The sanitary napkin is generally provided with an adhesive tape for fixing to an undergarment or the like. For this reason, when throwing away a sanitary napkin in a trash can with a saucer, the sanitary napkin may adhere to the saucer. Therefore, a trash box has been devised in which a slit is formed in the saucer and the sanitary napkin is peeled off from the saucer with a plate material penetrating the slit.

Japanese Patent No. 40056494

  In the trash box where the used sanitary napkin is discarded, when the tray having the slit is formed, the inside of the trash box can be seen through the slit. In addition, the scent inside the trash can leak out from the slit.

  Then, this invention aims at making the inside of a trash box difficult to see, when throwing away a used sanitary napkin in a trash box.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a sanitary ware disposal waste bin, a storage container having a first opening formed on an upper surface thereof, an upper cover covering the first opening and having a second opening formed thereon, and a saucer. A lid that is integrally molded with the saucer and covers the second opening; a sensor fixed to the upper cover; and when the sensor detects the approach of a user, the lid is opened to allow the saucer to be And opening / closing means that is exposed from two openings and that closes the lid after a predetermined time has elapsed after the lid is opened.

  According to the present invention, when the used sanitary napkin is thrown into the trash box, the inside of the trash box can be made difficult to see.

It is a perspective view in one embodiment of a sanitary goods disposal trash box concerning the present invention. It is an elevation sectional view parallel to the axis of rotation of the lid in one embodiment of the sanitary goods disposal trash box concerning the present invention. It is a vertical sectional view perpendicular to the rotation axis of the lid in one embodiment of the sanitary goods disposal trash can according to the present invention.

  An embodiment of a sanitary ware disposal waste bin according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. This embodiment is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. The same or similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a sanitary product disposal waste bin according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is an elevational sectional view parallel to the rotation axis of the lid portion of the sanitary goods disposal trash box of the present embodiment. FIG. 3 is an elevational cross-sectional view perpendicular to the rotation axis of the lid of the sanitary goods disposal trash box of the present embodiment.

  The sanitary product disposal waste bin 10 of the present embodiment includes a storage container 40, an upper cover 20, a tray 24, a lid 22, a sensor 30, a controller 32, and a motor 34. The storage container 40 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped box having a substantially rectangular opening (first opening) formed in the upper part. The storage container 40, the upper cover 20, the tray 24, and the lid portion 22 are made of, for example, resin.

  The upper cover 20 covers the first opening formed in the storage container 40. The upper cover 20 has a substantially rectangular opening (second opening) formed in the upper part. The upper cover 20 has a flat portion on the back side, and an inclined portion is formed from the flat portion toward the front side. The second opening is formed from the flat portion to the inclined portion. A tongue 21 extends vertically downward on the front side of the second opening.

  The saucer 24 includes a rectangular plate-like portion, and a protrusion 26 extending in a direction parallel to the short side is formed on the upper surface of the plate-like portion. The saucer 24 includes a back side wall perpendicular to the plate-like portion on the back side of the rectangular plate-like portion. The saucer 24 includes side walls perpendicular to the plate-like portion on both sides of the rectangular plate-like portion.

  The lid portion 22 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape integrally with the tray 24. The upper end of the back side wall of the tray 24 and the long side on the back side of the lid portion 22 are combined. The lid portion 22 covers the second opening formed in the upper cover 20. A rotating shaft coupled to a motor 34 is provided at a coupling portion between the tray 24 and the lid portion 22.

  The sensor 30 is provided in the vicinity of the second opening on the upper surface of the upper cover 20. The sensor 30 detects the approach of a user's palm, for example.

  The controller 32 is connected to the sensor 30 and the motor 34. When the sensor 30 detects the approach of the user's hand 50, the controller 32 receives the detection signal.

  When the controller 32 receives the detection signal of the approach of the user from the sensor 30, the controller 32 drives the motor 34 to rotate the rotation shaft of the coupling portion between the receiving tray 24 and the lid portion 22 by a predetermined angle, and the lid portion 22. open. Further, the controller 32 drives the motor 34 after a predetermined time has elapsed after the lid portion 22 is opened, and rotates the rotating shaft of the coupling portion between the tray 24 and the lid portion 22 in the reverse direction by a predetermined angle. Then, the lid 22 is closed.

  The user brings the palm close to the sensor 30, opens the lid 22, and places the used sanitary napkin on the tray 24. Thereafter, the lid 22 is automatically closed. When the lid portion 22 is closed, the plate-like portion of the tray 24 that is integrally molded with the lid portion 22 is inclined toward the inside of the storage container 40. When the tray 24 is tilted, the used sanitary napkin falls into the storage container 40 due to the action of gravity.

  In the sanitary product disposal trash box 10 of the present embodiment, the second opening formed in the upper cover 20 has a plate-like portion, a back side wall and a side wall of the tray 24 when the lid portion 22 is open, and The tongue 21 of the upper cover 20 is closed. For this reason, when the used sanitary napkin is thrown away into the sanitary goods disposal trash box 10, the inside of the trash box is very difficult to see.

  Since the protrusion 26 is formed on the receiving tray 24, even if the sanitary napkin is provided with an adhesive tape or the like, it is unlikely that it adheres to the receiving tray 24 and falls into the storage container 40.

  Since the tongue portion 21 is provided in the second opening of the upper cover 20, the front side of the plate-like portion of the tray 24 can close the second opening even in a flat state. For this reason, it is not necessary to form a wall surface for closing the second opening on the near side of the plate-like portion of the tray 24. Since the near side of the plate-like portion of the receiving tray 24 is flat, the sanitary napkin easily falls into the storage container 40.

  The lid portion 22 is opened and closed by the opening / closing means constituted by the sensor 30, the controller 32, and the motor 34, so that the user does not need to touch the sanitary product disposal waste bin 10 with the hand 50 and is hygienic.
