Abstract:
An induction actuated container having a container body, a container cover for covering the top opening of the container body and being hinged with one side of the container body, an induction means for detecting that human body or an object approaches the induction actuated container and a driving means for driving the container cover to open and close, wherein the induction means comprising:a sensor for detecting when a human body or an object approaches the induction actuated container and generating a detecting signal, the sensor located in an induction window on the front side of the container body; a filter shaping circuit for filtering and shaping the detecting signal; and an actuating controller for receiving the detecting signal filtered and shaped from the filter shaping circuit and generating a trigging signal to the controlling end of a driving member, and the actuating controller having a delay circuit for delaying the period of the trigging signal to a predetermined time so as to control the container cover maintain an opening state during the predetermined time; wherein the driving means comprising: the driving member being installed at the bottom of the container body for generating a mechanical action based on the trigging signal delayed and output from the delaying circuit, and being connected with a driven operating member via a transmission part for driving the driven operating member; and the driven operating member having a crown bar, the top end of the crown bar is hinged with the container cover, the hinging point between the top end of the crown bar and the container cover is apart from that between the container cover and the container body, and the bottom end of the crown bar is connected with the transmission part.
