Field of the invention:
[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to the technical field of garbage disposers, and in specific relates to an automatic garbage segregation container that sorts or segregates the garbage effectively and provides easy disposal of the garbage in domestic households.
Background of the invention:
[0002] With the increase of world population rate, the generation of garbage is also increased, which has increased environmental issue. Dustbin is a container which collects garbage or stores items irrespective of, whether the garbage is recyclable or non-recyclable, decompose and non-decompose. The dustbins are usually used in homes, and office, thereof, but in case they are full no one is there to clean it and the garbage is spilled out. The surrounding of a dustbin is also conducive for increasing the pollution level. Air pollution due to a dustbin can produce bacteria and virus which can produce life harmful diseases for human.

[0003] The environment pollution is the major concern in today’s world. Mankind has been suffering a lot due the environmental issues. Segregation is essential as the amount of waste being generated today causes immense problems. There are certain things which are not required around the house are kept aside to be sold such as, newspaper, used bottles, magazines, carry bags, old books, Oil cans, Glass, Paper, etc. This is one form of segregation of waste, which is done at almost all households. Household wastes are separated manually into different dustbins such as wet waste and dry waste which should be disposed of separately. One dustbin is also used for toxic wastes such as medicines, batteries, dried paints, old bulbs and dried shoe polish.

[0004] There are certain items which are non-biodegradable but can be recycled and reused. It is believed that large proportion of waste can be recycled and a part of can be converted to compost and only small proportion of it is real waste that has no use and has to be discarded. The biodegradable wastes are disposed in biodegradable dustbin, and the non-biodegradable wastes are disposed in non-biodegradable dustbin.

[0005] However, traditional domestic garbage collection and treatment technology has low efficiency which can generate serious secondary pollution phenomenon, and starts to impact the life quality of people. Therefore, the classification and segregation of the domestic garbage and the post-treatment by adopting the modern technology become a necessary choice.

[0006] There are a number of smart waste classification and segregation machines that preform garbage separation automatically. Existing smart waste classification and segregation equipment use visual image information gathered by a visible light camera or a collection of visible light cameras to conduct vision classification of garbage. However, this type of smart waste classification and segregation equipment are not effective as the images may not completely identify the type of waste, which may lead to incorrect disposal of garbage.

[0007] Therefore, there is a need for a garbage container with smart segregation system for effective sorting and segregation of garbage. There is a need for a garbage container that provides easy disposal of the garbage. There is a need for a garbage container with smart segregation system that requires minimal human interaction. There is a need for an automatic garbage segregation container that detects, classifies, and segregates garbage accurately into different categories based on the type of the garbage and disposes the garbage into appropriate container/chamber. There is a need for a smart garbage container that minimises the bad smell of the garbage.
Objectives of the invention:
[0008] The primary objective of the invention is to provide a garbage container with smart segregation system for effective sorting and segregation of garbage.

[0009] Another objective of the invention is to provide a garbage container that provides easy disposal of the garbage.

[0010] The other objective of the invention is to provide a garbage container with smart segregation system that requires minimal human interaction.

[0011] Yet another objective of the invention is to provide a garbage container that detects, classifies, and segregates garbage into different category using artificial intelligence camera based on the type of the garbage and dispose the garbage into appropriate container/chamber.

[0012] Further objective of the invention is to provide a smart garbage container that minimises the bad smell of the garbage.

[0013] Another objective of the invention is to provide a system that automatically seals the garbage bags when the bags are full, and prevents user hands from being dirty.

[0027] FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary method for smart segregation in the garbage container in accordance to an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
Detailed invention disclosure:
[0028] Various embodiments of the present invention will be described in reference to the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, same or similar reference numerals are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts or steps.

[0029] The present disclosure has been made with a view towards solving the problem with the prior art described above, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic garbage segregation container that sorts or segregates the garbage effectively and provides easy disposal of the garbage in domestic households.

[0030] According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, FIG. 1 refers to an exemplary front view of a garbage container with smart segregation. The garbage container 100 comprises plurality of garbage collecting chambers 104, a rotatable garbage chamber 102, at least one camera 106, a rotating unit 108, a garbage segregating unit 110, a controller 112, and a covering means 114. The garbage collecting chambers 104 are configured with multiple trash collecting means that are designated to receive classified garbage from the rotatable garbage chamber 102. In specific, the garbage collecting chambers 104 include at least two chambers. The trash collecting means includes multiple recyclable trash bags configured to store the classified garbage and gets automatically closed and sealed when the bag is full. The trash collecting means are cut and sealed through built-in thermoplastic sealing technology.

[0031] The rotating unit 108 is controlled by the controller 112 to rotate the rotatable garbage chamber 102 in a controlled manner. The garbage segregating unit 110 is attached to inner-surface of the rotatable garbage chamber 102 and drops the classified garbage in the garbage collecting chambers 104. The camera 106 is positioned in the rotatable garbage chamber 102 and integrated with the controller 112.

[0032] The rotatable garbage chamber 102 is positioned above the garbage collecting chambers, configured to receive and segregate a plurality of garbage items dropped by a user. In specific, a heating unit is arranged on inner surfaces of the rotatable garbage chamber configured to heat the classified garbage and evaporate liquid from the classified garbage and prevent the classified garbage from sticking/attaching to any surface of the rotatable garbage chamber. The heating unit includes a heating coil and blowers or fan of low capacity. The rotating chamber is controlled by a motor through the controller 112.

[0033] The camera 106 is mounted on one side of the rotatable garbage chamber 102, configured with artificial intelligence to scan and classify the received garbage items into various pre-defined categories based on pre-defined data. The camera 106 takes multiple images of the garbage items and then analyses the images using artificial intelligence. In specific, the various pre-defined categories include garbage types classified based on either bio-degradability such as degradable garbage or non-biodegradable garbage or classified based on dryness such as dry garbage or wet garbage or sanitary waste garbage, or based on toxicity of the garbage such as toxic garbage or non-toxic garbage and other types of garbage thereof.

[0034] The rotating unit 108 is configured to rotate the rotatable garbage chamber 102 in a controlled manner for effective recognition of type of garbage from the garbage items when the camera 106 is unable to classify at least one item from the garbage items. In specific, the rotating unit is configured with rotating motors that rotate the rotatable garbage chamber 102 and allows the camera 106 to get clear view of the garbage items. In specific, when the camera 106 is unable to recognise the garbage items even after rotation of the rotatable chamber 102, then an alert is transmitted to the user through the controller 112. Then, the user is allowed to manually put the unrecognised garbage into appropriate the garbage collecting chamber of the plurality of garbage collecting chambers 104. Further, the camera 106 stores and records this action for future reference. The system 100 utilizes artificial intelligence to learn the classification of unclassified items using the recorded actions of the user.

[0035] The garbage segregating unit 110 is configured to segregate and transfer the classified garbage to an appropriate chamber of the garbage collecting chambers 104 based on the predefined categories. Further, the garbage segregating unit 110 gets activated after scanning is completed by the camera 106. In specific, the garbage segregating unit 110 includes a conveyer belt and mechanical arms controlled by the controller 112 using artificial intelligence for segregation of the garbage items. After the type of garbage is recognised, then the conveyer belt and mechanical arms get activated and then drops the classified garbage into their respective chambers provided in the garbage collecting chambers 104.

[0036] The controller 112 is configured to control rotation, time duration for oscillation, speed of rotation, degree of rotation and direction of rotation of the rotatable garbage chamber 102 based on the view of the camera 106 required for classification of a unclassified garbage item. Further, the controller 112 activates the garbage segregating unit 110 after the classification of the plurality of garbage items is completed.

[0037] The controller 112 further transmits a command to the rotatable garbage chamber 102 to activate the garbage segregating unit 110. Further, the controller 112 also transmits an alert to the user if the camera 106 still unable to identify/classify the garbage items. Then, the user manually segregates the garbage items and transfers the classified garbage to the appropriate location in the garbage collecting chambers 104. This action is stored by the controller 112 for future reference.

[0038] The covering means 114 is configured with spring mechanism for opening and closing of the garbage container 100. The covering means 114 opens when the user is placing the garbage items in the garbage container 100 and closes automatically when the garbage items are dropped in the rotatable garbage chamber 102 due to spring action.

[0039] Further, an odour sensor is attached in the garbage container 100 with smart segregation that releases an aromatic spray into the rotatable garbage chamber 102, if smell of the garbage items exceeds a threshold limit.

[0040] According to another exemplary embodiment of the invention, garbage container with smart segregation is designed with a suspension system in the bottom of the garbage container. The suspension system consist a platform with waste bags which rises upwards with the placement of trash/ garbage in the garbage container. Further, the surface of garbage container contains a vibrator so that the surface moves to separate the wastes. Thereby the camera recognizes all the wastes that are dropped by the user.

[0041] According to another exemplary embodiment of the invention, FIG. 2 refers to an exemplary method 200 for smart segregation with the garbage container. At step 202, the garbage items are received in the rotatable garbage chamber for segregation. At step 204, the plurality of garbage items are scanned through the camera, and then, the garbage items are classified into various pre-defined categories based on pre-defined data. At step 206, the garbage items are checked if there is any garbage item that is not classified, and then, the amount of rotation, degree of rotation, speed of rotation for rotating the rotatable garbage chamber is determine by the controller. At step 208, the rotatable garbage chamber is rotated through the rotating unit for segregation of the garbage items, and the camera is allowed to view the garbage items clearly. Later, the camera is allowed to recognise type of garbage from the garbage items.

[0042] At step 210, the garbage segregating unit is activated for segregating the garbage items after scanning is completed by the camera. At step 212, the classified garbage is transferred in an appropriate chamber of the garbage collecting chambers. At step 214, the camera check for any unclassified garbage items and transmits an alert to the user through the controller. At step 216, the user is allowed to manually segregate unclassified garbage item. At step 218, the camera records the user’s actions of manual segregation of the unclassified garbage items and learns the type of garbage item using artificial intelligence.
[0043] Numerous advantages of the present disclosure may be apparent from the discussion above. In accordance with the present disclosure, an automatic garbage segregation container that sorts or segregates the garbage effectively and provides easy disposal of the garbage in domestic households is disclosed here.

[0044] The proposed garbage container with smart segregation system provides effective sorting and segregation of garbage. The proposed garbage container provides easy disposal of the garbage. The proposed garbage container with smart segregation system requires minimal human interaction. The proposed garbage container detects, classifies, and segregates garbage into different category using artificial intelligence camera based on the type of the garbage and disposes the garbage into appropriate container/chamber. The proposed smart garbage container minimises the bad smell of the garbage. The proposed system automatically seals the garbage bags when the bags are full, and prevents user hands from being dirty.

[0045] It will readily be apparent that numerous modifications and alterations can be made to the processes described in the foregoing examples without departing from the principles underlying the invention, and all such modifications and alterations are intended to be embraced by this application.
