About Patrick Kuhinjski koš za ločevanje odpadkov

Patrick je kuhinjski koš za ločevanje odpadkov, zasnovan za sortiranje gospodinjskih odpadkov. Trije ločeni predali uporabnike vodijo k natančnemu ločevanju vrst odpadkov in podpirajo recikliranje. Glavno ohišje je izdelano iz okolju prijaznega nerjavečega jekla, medtem ko so zgornji pokrov, zadnje ohišje in podnožje izdelani iz razgradljive plastike. Površina je gladka in brez skritih kotov, zato je čiščenje enostavno. Pedal počasi in tiho odpre pokrov, ta pa se samodejno vrne v prvotni položaj, tako da se notranjosti nikoli ni treba dotikati. Pokrov se vrti, ne da bi udaril ob steno za košem.

Production Technology: The Patrick main shell is made of environmentally friendly stainless steel plate, with a degradable plastic top cover, back shell and base. The surface is smooth and has no dead corners, which is easy to clean and reduces the difficulty and time cost of cleaning. 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.
