About Patrick Kanta za reciklažu u kuhinji

Patrick je kanta za reciklažu u kuhinji dizajnirana za sortiranje kućnog otpada. Tri odvojena pretinca vode korisnike da precizno razdvoje vrste otpada i podrže recikliranje. Glavno kućište izrađeno je od ekološki prihvatljivog nehrđajućeg čelika, dok su gornji poklopac, zadnje kućište i baza izrađeni od razgradive plastike. Površina je glatka i bez skrivenih uglova, pa je čišćenje jednostavno. Pedala polako i tiho otvara poklopac, a poklopac se sam vraća u početni položaj, tako da se unutrašnjost nikada ne dodiruje rukom. Poklopac se rotira, a da pritom ne udara u zid iza kante.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that its silent open/close cover design, the use of slow down technology, almost silent when opening and closing, to avoid noise generated during use.
Design Challenge
The biggest challenge in the realization and research process is how to combine several functional points of "classified design, easy to clean, silent opening and closing, and not hitting the wall", and also need to ensure that the operation is simple, safe and reasonable, and integrated into the home environment. Ultimately, it is hoped that these functions will bring a more convenient and healthy living experience to the home.
Research
In today's increasing attention to environmental protection and sustainable development, we deeply feel the importance of garbage classification for environmental protection. We have observed that people want simple and efficient solutions to deal with the waste generated in their lives. We have integrated the concept of "sorting orderly" and "convenient life" to design this practical and beautiful 3-category garbage can.
Inspiration
In home life, the disposal process of domestic waste usually produces some very troublesome problems, such as garbage classification, opening and closing noise, garbage can cleaning, bucket lid opening and closing wall and so on. Based on these pain points, we want to explore a new garbage can product, which cleverly integrates easy cleaning, convenient sorting and silent technology, so that daily waste disposal becomes both efficient and environmentally friendly.
Project Duration
The project started in Shenzhen in October 2023 and will be completed in Shenzhen in June 2024.
Operation Flow
The operation of this garbage can is very simple and intuitive. Users only need to gently pedal the operation, the lid of the trash can will automatically slowly open, without manual lifting. After the garbage is placed, the lid will automatically return, and the entire process does not need to touch the inside of the trash can, effectively preventing hand pollution and odor.
