The Vacuum Waste Inlet Station is an innovative solution that meets the demands of both environmental conservation and new paradigms in consumer lifestyles. By integrating various key requirements, this outdoor garbage bin retains its minimalist design while exuding an elegant aesthetic. It incorporates a range of cutting-edge features, including identification light effects, universal palm print recognition, hidden automatic opening and closing lids, in-cabin thermal sensing for live organism detection, and a large waterproof air intake grille. These features collectively contribute to the advancement of environmental conservation and the development of new consumption patterns.

The Vacuum Waste Inlet Station utilizes a fully enclosed negative pressure design, combined with a pneumatic garbage collection and disposal system within a sealed pipeline, to prevent the transmission of viruses through waste. This innovative solution not only reduces the emission of odors, wastewater, exhaust gases, and noise pollution that are associated with conventional waste disposal methods, but also saves manpower and increases the efficiency of waste management. With the integration of advanced palm print recognition technology, it eliminates the inconvenience of conventional facial recognition systems. Users no longer need to bend over to align their faces with the recognition area; instead, they simply place their palms according to the guiding light from the recognition module, effectively reducing the cost of additional screens and simultaneously achieving non-contact interaction. This approach truly embodies the concept of simplifying life through science.

The Vacuum Waste Inlet Station prioritizes a user-friendly experience. The palm print recognition feature adheres to the principles of universal design, enabling individuals with disabilities, including wheelchair users, to unlock the chamber effortlessly by raising their hands. Its overall height is ergonomically designed, reflecting a people-centric approach, and children can also unlock the chamber easily. With a humanitarian focus, the inclusion of thermal sensing for live organism detection ensures timely identification of any living organisms inside, triggering an alarm to prevent accidents.

The Vacuum Waste Inlet Station adopts a metal finely matte surface, elevating the quality and aesthetics. The installation structure utilizes hidden screw fasteners, providing convenience and speed while maintaining a clean and visually appealing front facade.
