Garbage container

A garbage container comprising:

• a container body having an opening;
• a cover for covering said opening;
• a motor mounted on said container body, having an output shaft capable of rotating in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions;
• a rotor fixed on said output shaft of said motor;
• a control rope with one end fixed on said cover and the other end fixed and partially wound on said rotor;
• an infrared ray transmitter for transmitting infrared ray to detect the presence of a user;
• An infrared ray receiver for receiving the infrared ray reflected back and sending out a first signal and a second signal;
• a first actuating circuit for receiving said first signal from said infrared ray receiver to actuate said motor to rotate said output shaft in a clockwise direction;
• a second actuating circuit for receiving said second signal from said infrared ray receiver to actuate said motor to rotate said output shaft in a counterclockwise direction;
• a delay circuit connecting said infrared ray receiver and said second actuating circuit for delaying said second signal received from said infrared ray receiver so that when a user is present in front of said garbage container, said cover will open automatically and will close automatically after a predetermined time of the departure of the user.
