Abstract:
1. An automatically openable garbage container through infrared induction, comprising: a garbage container, having at least one opening for littering at one side, and a cover mounted on said opening for littering in moveable manner from a opening position to a closing position; an infrared induction device, mounted in the garbage container above said opening for littering, comprises an infrared transmitting tube and a infrared receiving tube, wherein said infrared transmitting tube transmits infrared pulse signals in front of the opening for littering forming a induction area, and said infrared receiving tube receives the infrared pulse signals reflected by a barrier in said induction area and converts said infrared pulse signals to corresponding electric signals; an automatic cover-opening device mechanically connected with said cover via a cable; and a control unit communicatively connected with said infrared induction device and said automatic cover-opening device, wherein said automatic cover-opening device comprises: a driving motor connected with said control unit; a first set of reduction gears connected to the output shaft of said driving motor to be driven; a cable-collecting wheel connected with said first set of reduction gears wherein one end of said cable is connected to said cable-collecting wheel, and the other end is connected to said cover; a second set of reduction gears connecting to the output shaft of said cable-collecting wheel to drive said cable-collecting wheel; and a cam connecting to the output shaft of said second set of reduction gears to be driven, that can rotate to touch a cover-opening stroke switch and a cover-closing stroke switch respectively, wherein said cover-opening stroke switch and cover-closing stroke switch is electrically connected with said control unit via a wire.
