Abstract
A driving mechanism for a trash can, including a frame assembly, a driving assembly, a gathering assembly and a transmission assembly. The driving assembly includes a motor, a lead screw and a lead screw nut. The motor is connected to the lead screw. The lead screw nut is threadedly connected to the lead screw, and is connected to the frame assembly. The transmission assembly and the driving assembly are arranged spaced apart from each other. The transmission assembly includes a worm gear inside the frame assembly and a worm drivably connected to the motor. The motor is configured to drive the worm to rotate to cause the worm gear to rotate, so as to drive the gathering assembly to gather a trash bag. The frame assembly is configured to drive the worm gear to reciprocate along the worm.
