TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED WASTE ITEM RECEPTACLE

摘要

A temperature controlled waste item receptacle selects and maintains a temperature for contents based on the needs of an end user. A method and system provide support for controlling a temperature of contents disposed into a waste item receptacle. A controller selects a desired temperature of the contents disposed into the waste item receptacle. A temperature sensor senses a current temperature of the contents disposed into the waste item receptacle. The controller adjusts the current temperature of the contents disposed into the waste item receptacle to the desired temperature when a difference in the current temperature and the desired temperature exceeds a temperature threshold.

主权项

1. A temperature controlled waste item receptacle, wherein a temperature is selected and maintained for contents based on requirements of an end user, comprising:
a waste item receptacle configured to house contents disposed into the receptacle; a temperature sensor configured to sense a current temperature within the waste item receptacle; and a controller configured to:
select the temperature for within the waste item receptacle, andmaintain the temperature within the waste item receptacle to within a threshold of the selected temperature in response to the sensed current temperature to inhibit the contents of the waste item receptacle from reaching a hazardous or unsanitary state.
