What it does
This product develops intelligent mobile trash cans for office scenarios, integrates the power system and induction technology of sweeping robots, and solves the problem of insufficient distribution of traditional fixed bins.
Your inspiration
"The core inspiration of the design comes from an in-depth observation of the two major pain points of ""efficiency loss"" and ""clean island"" in modern office scenarios. On the one hand, in an open office environment, employees often get up frequently and interrupt their workflow due to the fixed location and limited number of trash cans. On the other hand, although the sweeping robot can clean autonomously, it cannot be linked with the garbage collection process, forming a redundant device function.
How it works
"The device takes the chassis of the sweeping robot as the mobile core, and after the user is summoned through the APP or voice, it autonomously navigates to the station based on the LiDAR and SLAM algorithm, and the infrared induction automatically opens the cover to achieve fast delivery; The built-in compression device reduces the volume of waste, and the bottom cleaning module simultaneously sweeps the floor debris while moving, and switches to a separate robot vacuum for deep cleaning during idle periods. The split design ensures that garbage recycling and ground maintenance tasks do not interfere with each other, the top solar panel assists the power supply, and the environmentally friendly material barrel reduces the operation and maintenance cost. "
Design process
"At the beginning of the plan, through field research in office scenarios, it was found that employees often had redundancy due to the fixed location of trash cans, so they started the idea with ""mobile service"" as the starting point. Dozens of hand-drawn conceptual sketches explore the possibility of split structure: the top trash can tries the dome-type and folding lid opening scheme, and the bottom is combined with the sweeping robot to test the embedded, magnetic splicing and other forms, and finally determines the modular buckle structure to balance functionality and modeling simplicity. In the Rhino 3D modeling phase, the focus was on optimizing the details of human-computer interaction: adjusting the height of the trash can (the final setting was 75cm to adapt to the sitting position), the tilt angle of the sensing area of the lid opening, and simulating the stability of the center of gravity when the robot vacuum cleaner was moving under load. Keyshot renders and tests different material combinations, white matte ABS plastic with gray rubber bumper strips, which not only highlights the sense of technology but also avoids the problem of bumps in the office environment.
How it is different
"Compared with traditional trash cans, the core breakthrough of this design is to upgrade ""passive storage"" to ""active service"". Ordinary trash cans are fixed in the corners, relying on manual delivery, and the product uses the sweeping robot as the mobile base, realizes the full-area cruise response through laser navigation, and the user can be summoned to the station through APP/voice without getting up, combined with infrared induction contactless opening of the cover, and completely reconstructs the ""human-bucket"" interaction logic. At the same time, the bottom module breaks through the limitation of a single function: it becomes a lightweight sweeper with a synchronous cleaning path when moving, and separates into an independent deep cleaning device when stationary, and one machine realizes the two-line parallel of ""garbage collection and ground maintenance"".
Future plans
"The design will continue to deepen technical iteration and scene adaptation, focus on short-term navigation accuracy improvement and noise control, integrate UWB positioning and carbon fiber lightweight solutions, expand to multiple scenarios such as hospitals and schools, and develop disinfection modules and children's interaction systems. In the medium term, we will promote the ""clean"" service ecology, integrate extended functions such as express temporary storage and environmental monitoring through the top interface, and transform into a mobile office terminal; Build a sustainable closed-loop for a long time.
