With the development of economy and the improvement of people’s living standards, the garbage problem has become increasingly prominent, and people’s concept of environmental protection has been continuously enhanced. In response to the popularization of garbage classification and environmental pollution of garbage, the industry has seen innovative designs for traditional garbage bins. The intelligent waste distribution bin studied in this paper adopts micro-control chip, infrared detection device, mechanical transmission device and linkage mechanism, which can solve the difficulty in separation from the source, cultivate the public’s awareness of waste separation and reduce the cost of waste disposal, It protects user privacy and improves security through blind processing, and thus has practical research significance.
