Smart Waste Disposable Bin

Abstract: The present patent application pertains to a groundbreaking innovation in the field of waste management technology – the Smart Waste Disposable Bin. This invention addresses the growing global concern for efficient waste disposal and environmental sustainability by introducing a highly intelligent, automated, and eco-friendly solution for waste collection and management. Traditional waste disposal methods are often fraught with inefficiencies, contributing to pollution, waste overflow, and resource wastage. The Smart Waste Disposable Bin revolutionizes this paradigm by integrating cutting-edge technology to create a waste management system that is not only environmentally responsible but also convenient, cost-effective, and adaptable to diverse urban and rural environments. The core of this invention lies in the development of a state-of-the-art Smart Bin unit. Each Smart Bin is equipped with a variety of sensors, including but not limited to, ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, weight sensors, and environmental sensors. These sensors collectively monitor the waste levels, temperature, humidity, and other relevant parameters within the bin, allowing for real-time data collection and analysis. Furthermore, the Smart Bin is designed to be completely autonomous, capable of self-compacting waste to maximize its capacity while minimizing the frequency of pickups. This self-compacting feature is achieved through the use of a compacting mechanism driven by a smart algorithm that optimizes the compaction process based on the waste volume and weight. To enhance its environmental sustainability, the Smart Waste Disposable Bin incorporates a dual-chamber design. One chamber is dedicated to collecting non-recyclable waste, while the other is reserved for recyclable materials. This segregation at source facilitates the sorting and recycling process, reducing the burden on waste treatment facilities and decreasing the environmental impact of waste disposal. The Smart Waste Disposable Bin is designed to communicate seamlessly with a central waste management system through wireless connectivity, allowing waste collection services to monitor the status of each bin in real-time. This data-driven approach enables efficient route optimization, ensuring that collection vehicles are dispatched only when bins reach their optimal capacity, thus reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions. Its innovative features, including real-time monitoring, autonomous compaction, waste segregation, and community engagement, make it a comprehensive and sustainable solution to the ever-growing challenges of waste disposal. This patent application seeks to protect the intellectual property behind this pioneering technology, which has the potential to transform the way we manage waste and contribute significantly to a cleaner, greener future for our planet.

Specification

Description:1: Disposal Bin with Segregation Compartment:
The disposal bin serves as the primary container for waste collection. It includes a segregation compartment designed to separate different types of waste, such as recyclables and non-recyclables. The bin should have appropriate compartments and openings to facilitate waste segregation.
2: Geared Motor:
The geared motor is a crucial component responsible for automating certain functions of the smart waste bin. It can be used to drive mechanisms that aid in waste disposal, such as the movement of the segregation compartment or lid opening and closing.
3: Steel Plate:
Steel plates are commonly used for structural support and durability in the construction of the smart waste bin. They can be employed for the bin's frame, base, or other load-bearing components.
4: Battery:
A rechargeable battery powers the smart waste bin's electronic components, ensuring uninterrupted operation. The battery should have sufficient capacity to support the bin's functions and may include a charging system to maintain power.
5: Servo Motor:
The servo motor is a precise and controllable motor that can be used for various purposes in the smart waste bin, such as opening and closing the segregation compartment or controlling the bin's lid.
6: Microcontroller (Arduino/Raspberry Pi):
The microcontroller is the brain of the smart waste bin. It processes data from sensors, controls actuators, and manages the overall functionality of the bin. Popular choices for microcontrollers include Arduino and Raspberry Pi, which offer a range of capabilities for customization.
7: Ultrasonic Sensor (Motion Detector):
Ultrasonic sensors are used for detecting the fill level of the waste bin. They emit ultrasonic waves and measure the time it takes for the waves to bounce back, providing data on how full the bin is. This data helps in efficient waste collection scheduling.
8: Moisture Sensor:
A moisture sensor can be integrated into the smart waste bin to detect the presence of liquids in the waste. This is especially useful to prevent leakage or contamination and is essential for proper waste disposal.
9: Actuator (Motor/Solenoid):
Actuators, such as motors or solenoids, are responsible for physical movements within the bin. They can be used to automate processes like opening and closing compartments, releasing waste into the collection area, or initiating the waste disposal process.
10: Metal Plate (10mm Thick):
Thick metal plates may be used for reinforcement or as protective shields for sensitive electronic components within the bin. They enhance the durability and safety of the overall design.
11: Female DC Motor:
A female DC motor may be employed for specific mechanical actions within the smart waste bin. It can be connected to the geared motor or other moving parts to drive specific functions, such as waste separation.
12: 10mm Screw:
Screws are essential for assembling and securing various components of the bin. The 10mm screws are likely used for joining thicker materials or providing additional stability.
13: Pulley Belt:
Pulley belts can be used in conjunction with motors to transfer motion or force to specific parts of the bin's mechanism, enabling controlled movement and precise actions.
14: Nut Bolts:
Nut bolts are used for fastening and securing different components together. They are essential for the structural integrity of the bin and for keeping various parts in place.
15: Wires:
Wires are the electrical connections that link all electronic components in the smart waste bin. They allow for data transmission, power distribution, and communication between sensors, actuators, and the microcontroller. , Claims:We Claim:
