On the other hand, the opening and closing means 500 is configured such that the movable body 530 interlocked between the case 100 and the lid 300 is pivoted on both sides of the vertical bar 523 in accordance with the rotation of the vertical bar 523 of the driving unit 520 .

The power source unit 600 includes a battery 610 and a power switch 620.

In this embodiment, the power switch 620 is installed on the rear surface of the case 100, as shown in Fig.

A battery case 630 is installed on the rear surface of the case 100 so that the battery 610 can be easily inserted and removed from the outside.

The garbage can according to the present invention having the above-described structure works as follows.

First, the user turns on the power switch 620 provided on the rear surface of the case 100 to supply the power of the battery 610 so that each configuration is operable.

When the power switch 620 is turned on, the microcomputer 700 controls the opening / closing unit 500 so that the garbage can cover 300 is automatically opened and closed at first, thereby notifying the user of the normal operation state.

After that, the microcomputer 700 controls the lid 300 to be opened or closed when a user's access is detected.

That is, when the user approaches the garbage can, the proximity sensor 510 installed at a predetermined position of the case 100 senses this and transmits the detection signal to the microcomputer 700.

The proximity sensor 510 is a sensor based on a capacitive capacitor method and senses a change in capacitance value by a user approach within a certain distance.

When the microcomputer 700 compares the sensed signals and determines that the user's access is to be performed, the microcomputer 700 operates the driving unit 520 of the opening and closing means 500 to automatically open and close the lid 300 for a preset time.

5 and 6, the driver 522 of the driving unit 520 drives the motor 521 under the control of the microcomputer 700, and the driving force is transmitted to the vertical bar 523, 300 are pushed or pulled to open and close the lid 300 around the hinge. At this time, the movable body 530 installed on both sides of the vertical bar 523 also interlocks and pushes or pulls the lid 300 to help open and close the lid 300.

After the predetermined time has elapsed, the microcomputer 700 controls driving of the driver 522 to stop the rotation of the motor 521. Accordingly, the vertical bar 523 is gradually lowered by the elastic member 524, The lid 300 is covered on the upper portion of the case 100.

Therefore, even if the garbage bin lid 300 is not manually opened or closed, the lid 300 is automatically opened as soon as the user approaches the lid 300, and the lid 300 is automatically closed after a predetermined time elapses.

Meanwhile, in the micom 700, the ultraviolet sterilizing lamp 410 is operated at regular intervals with the lid 300 closed, ultraviolet rays are irradiated inside the garbage can to sterilize bacteria and remove the smell.

Ultraviolet light is about 2% of the total sunlight, and has a beneficial effect such as sterilizing effect and synthesis of vitamin D in skin. A common phenomenon in our daily life is washing clothes, dishes and quilts in the sunlight, because the sunlight has a sterilizing effect. It is called the sterilization effect that the nucleic acid (DNA) changes in the cell by ultraviolet irradiation and loses the ability to multiply due to the disorder of metabolism.

Particularly, ultraviolet rays generate ozone (O ₂ ) at a wavelength of 200 nm or less, and an optimum sterilizing and deodorizing function at 184.9 nm is possible.

At this time, the radiation intensity of the ultraviolet sterilizing lamp 410 is adjusted to the optimum condition through the converter 420.

When the garbage is charged into the garbage bin of the present invention, the ultraviolet sterilizing lamp 410 generates ultraviolet rays to generate ozone and sterilize continuously before the odor is generated every predetermined time.

When the cover 300 is opened by the user's approach, the microcomputer 700 automatically turns off the ultraviolet sterilizing lamp 410 to prevent ultraviolet rays or ozone from reaching the human body.

Therefore, sterilization is performed so as not to generate odor, so that it can be used hygienically.

As described above, it is to be understood that the technical structure of the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential characteristics of the present invention.

It is therefore to be understood that the embodiments described above are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalents It is to be understood that all changes and modifications that come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.
