Abstract:
1. A container, comprising: a container body; and a container cover, which comprises: a cover panel moving between an open state and a close state; an electric motor at said container cover for generating an output to said cover panel through a transmission device to move said cover panel between said open state and said close state; and a route sensor and controller which comprises a route feeler and a cut-off circuit electrically linked between said route feeler and said electric motor, wherein before said cover panel closes completely, said route feeler sends an actuating signal to said cut-off circuit so as to deactivate said electric motor for stop generating said output to said cover panel, in such a manner that said cover panel is kept moving by inertia and is decelerated by itself in a hydraulic-like manner until said cover panel is completed closed, so as to minimize noise generated by a contact between said cover and said container body.
