[0043] See the following examples Figure 1-Figure 8 .

[0044] The present application provides a food container recovery device, comprising:

[0045] A frame 1, wherein the frame 1 is provided with several layers, and a mounting plate 11 is provided at one end of the top, and a container caching platform 12 is provided at the bottom of the frame 1;

[0046] A tipping mechanism 2, wherein the fixed end of the tipping mechanism 2 is connected to the mounting plate 11, and the flipping end of the tipping mechanism 2 is provided with a container receiving platform;

[0047] A lifting and conveying mechanism 3, wherein the fixed end of the lifting and conveying mechanism 3 is connected to the frame 1; a container conveying platform 31 is provided at the lifting end of the lifting and conveying mechanism 3; and the upper part of the container conveying platform 31 corresponds to the container receiving and placing platform; and

[0048] Positioning and recovery mechanism 4; the positioning and recovery mechanism 4 includes a first lifting mechanism 43, a support platform 42 and a container recovery platform 41; the bottom end of the first lifting mechanism 43 is connected to the support platform 42, and the lifting end of the first lifting mechanism 43 is connected to the container recovery platform 41; the support platform 42 is connected to the bottom of the frame 1; the container recovery platform 41 is provided with a container drop-off port, and the lower side of the container drop-off port corresponds to the container cache platform 12; a plurality of container clamps are provided on the side of the container drop-off port.

[0049] The size of the container buffer platform 12 should be sufficient to accommodate several groups of stacked food containers, so that multiple groups of food containers can be stacked at the same time, and the outer stacked containers 100 can be taken away while the containers 100 are automatically recycled.

[0050] It should be noted that the container clamping member includes a clamping state and a loosening state. The clamping state is used when the container needs to be transported, and the loosening state is used when the container needs to be recovered.

[0051] In this embodiment, the lifting and conveying mechanism 3 or the first lifting mechanism 43 adopts a telescopic mechanism of an arm-type lifting mechanism. The telescopic lifting mechanism generally consists of more than two telescopic arms, and the arm is relatively telescopically moved by a cylinder power part to achieve height lifting. This lifting form can save space.

[0052] The food container recovery device in the embodiment of the present application places the food container on the container receiving platform by a robot or manually, and a component is provided on the container receiving platform to prevent the container from falling. Since the upper part of the container conveying platform 31 corresponds to the container receiving platform, the overturning mechanism 2 drives the container receiving platform to flip and then places the food container on the container conveying platform 31 of the lifting conveying mechanism 3, and the lifting conveying mechanism 3 conveys the food container to the container recovery platform 41 of the positioning recovery mechanism 4, and after the container is clamped by the container clamping member of the container recovery platform 41, the container is driven to the recovery position of the container buffer platform 12 by the first lifting mechanism 43, and then the container clamping member is released to realize container recovery, and the above actions are repeated to realize automatic recovery of food containers, so that the food containers are neatly stacked on the container buffer platform, which solves the problem that there is no platform for container recovery in the automatic recovery device in the prior art, which is not convenient for subsequent container cleaning and sorting. The device realizes automatic replacement of manual operation, automatic recovery and sorting of food containers, and automatic stacking of food containers, which is convenient for subsequent container cleaning and sorting, and improves the efficiency of container recovery and sorting. 。

[0053] Specifically, the container clamping member includes a first telescopic power member 44, a sliding block 45 and a clamping member 46; at least two spaced sliding blocks 45 are provided on the container recovery platform 41; the sliding block 45 is slidably connected to the container recovery platform 41; the side end of the sliding block 45 is connected to the telescopic end of the first telescopic power member 44; the upper end of the sliding block 45 is connected to the clamping member 46; the upper part of the clamping member 46 is provided with a groove adapted to the opening edge of the container.

[0054] In a specific implementation, when the lifting and conveying mechanism 3 conveys the food container to the container recovery platform 41, the sliding block 45 is pulled outward by the contraction of the first telescopic power member 44. At this time, the grooves at the upper ends of the clamping members 46 can just correspond to the container opening, thereby achieving a smooth conveying of the container.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first telescopic power member 44 is an electric push rod, which is a common telescopic power member that uses a motor and a transmission mechanism to generate linear motion; in other embodiments, the first telescopic power member 44 can also be an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a linear motor, etc. Flexible selection can be made in actual practical application.

[0056] Specifically, the food container recovery device also includes a translation mechanism, which is installed at the bottom of the frame 1; the translation push end 61 of the translation mechanism is provided with a push member 62 adapted to the side of the container, and the push member 62 is located on one side of the container cache platform 12.

[0057] In a specific implementation, when the containers on the container buffer platform are stacked to a certain height or weight, a position sensor or a gravity sensor can be set to achieve this. At this time, the translation push end 61 of the translation mechanism drives the push member 62 to perform translational movement, thereby pushing the stacked container 100 at one end of the container buffer platform 12 to the other end, so that the container buffer platform 12 at the original end can continue to recycle containers, avoiding stopping the operation of the device in a short time, thereby improving the container recycling efficiency.

[0058] In this embodiment, the translation mechanism can use an electric push rod to cooperate with the slide rail and the slider in the sliding assembly to translate, connect the push end of the electric push rod to the slider, and connect the slider to the push member 62 to achieve the translation movement of the push member 62. In other embodiments, the translation mechanism is also implemented by a linear motor in cooperation with the sliding assembly; or a lead screw transmission in cooperation with the sliding assembly; or a rack transmission in cooperation with the sliding assembly; or a belt transmission in cooperation with the sliding assembly, etc.

[0059] Each translation mechanism in the above embodiments has its own unique characteristics and applicable scenarios. When selecting a translation mechanism in this embodiment, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as specific application requirements, travel, speed and accuracy.

[0060] Specifically, the food container recovery device also includes a bottom supporting and conveying mechanism; the bottom supporting and conveying mechanism includes a telescopic lifting power member, a sliding assembly and a conveying plate; the telescopic lifting power member is installed at the side end of the frame 1; the fixed end of the sliding assembly is connected to the frame 1; the lifting end of the telescopic lifting power member is connected to the sliding end of the sliding assembly; the sliding end of the sliding assembly is connected to the conveying plate; the conveying plate corresponds to the container dropping port of the container recovery platform 41.

[0061] In a specific implementation, when a container is temporarily stored on the container recovery platform 41 of the positioning recovery mechanism 4, the sliding end of the sliding assembly is driven to rise by the telescopic lifting power member, and then the conveying plate is driven to rise to the container recovery platform 41. At this time, the container clamping member of the container recovery platform 41 is released to place the container on the conveying plate, and then the sliding end of the sliding assembly is driven to descend by the telescopic lifting power member, and then the conveying plate is driven to descend to match the container buffer platform 12. Since there is a container clamping member on the container recovery platform of the positioning recovery mechanism 4, when the container is directly placed on the container buffer platform 12 through the container recovery platform, there is a certain distance of falling action, which may cause the container to be broken or the container to be not neatly arranged. In this embodiment, the container can be directly placed on the container buffer platform 12 by the bottom support conveying mechanism, and the container can be placed on the container buffer platform 12 more smoothly by the bottom support conveying mechanism in cooperation with the positioning recovery mechanism 4, avoiding the problem of the container being broken or the container being not neatly arranged.

[0062] In this embodiment, the telescopic lifting power member is electrically driven or cylinder driven.

[0063] Specifically, the tipping mechanism 2 includes a rotating drive member 23 and a container receiving and placing platform; the container receiving and placing platform includes a bottom supporting plate 22, a connecting member 25, a container fitting member 21 and a first telescopic limit member 24; the upper and lower ends of the connecting member 25 are respectively connected to the bottom supporting plate 22 and the container fitting member 21; the container fitting member 21 is provided with a container embedding port, and the first telescopic limit member 24 is installed on the side of the container embedding port, and the telescopic direction of the first telescopic limit member 24 is toward the center of the container embedding port; one side of the bottom supporting plate 22 or the container fitting member 21 is connected to the rotating driving end of the rotating drive member 23; the fixed end of the rotating drive member 23 is connected to the mounting plate 11.

[0064] In a specific implementation, the food container is placed on the container receiving and placing platform by a robot or manually at the front end of the previous workstation, and the first telescopic limiter 24 arranged on the container receiving and placing platform extends and exceeds the opening edge of the container, thereby limiting the container. At this time, after the rotating driving member 23 drives the container receiving and placing platform to rotate 180 degrees, the upper side of the container conveying platform 31 corresponds to the container on the container receiving and placing platform, completing the flipping movement of the container. The first telescopic limiter 24 can prevent the container from falling during the flipping process.

[0065] In this embodiment, the first telescopic stopper 24 is a cylinder, and the telescopic rod of the cylinder is connected with a container stopper 312 whose shape matches the container opening. The cylinder is a common telescopic power part, and its medical elasticity can play a flexible role in limiting. At the same time, the container stopper 312 is made of rubber elastic material, which can play a role in clamping the container more firmly.

[0066] Specifically, a rotation sensor is provided at the bottom of the bottom support plate 22, which can identify the flipping process of the container and give a signal to the lifting and conveying mechanism 3, so that the container conveying platform 31 is driven by the lifting and conveying mechanism 3 to rise to the corresponding lower side of the container receiving and placing platform.

[0067] Specifically, the connecting member 25 is a telescopic power member with a telescopic function; the two ends of the telescopic power member in the telescopic direction are respectively connected to the bottom support plate 22 and the container insert 21. In this embodiment, the bottom support plate 22 and the container insert 21 are connected by the telescopic power member to achieve telescopic adjustment between the bottom support plate 22 and the container insert 21. According to the different sizes of the recycling container 100, the distance between the bottom support plate 22 and the container insert 21 is appropriately adjusted to achieve the embedding of containers of different sizes.

[0068] In this embodiment, the telescopic power member is an electric push rod, which is a common telescopic power member that uses a motor and a transmission mechanism to generate linear motion; in other embodiments, the telescopic power member can also be an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a linear motor, etc. Flexible selection can be made in actual practical application.

[0069] Specifically, the lifting and conveying mechanism 3 includes a first-level lifting mechanism 34, a second-level lifting mechanism 33 and a third-level lifting mechanism 32 from bottom to top; the fixed end of the first-level lifting mechanism 34 is connected to the bottom of the frame 1, and the lifting end of the first-level lifting mechanism 34 is connected to the fixed end of the second-level lifting mechanism 33; the lifting end of the second-level lifting mechanism 33 is connected to the fixed end of the third-level lifting mechanism, and the lifting of the third-level lifting mechanism 32 is provided with a container conveying platform 31 including a conveying support plate and a second telescopic limit member 311; the side end of the conveying support plate is connected to the lifting end of the third-level lifting mechanism 32, and an opening is provided in the middle of the conveying support plate, and the size of the opening is larger than the container; the side of the opening is provided with a second telescopic limit member 311; the telescopic direction of the second telescopic limit member 311 is toward the center of the opening.

[0070] The conveying platform container in this embodiment is provided with a second telescopic stopper 311 to achieve a stable conveying process of the container and prevent the container from accidentally falling during the retrieval process. In this embodiment, the second telescopic stopper 311 is a cylinder, and a container stopper 312 whose shape matches the container opening is connected to the telescopic rod of the cylinder. The cylinder is a common telescopic power part, and its telescopicity can play a role of flexible limit in medical use.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first-stage lifting mechanism 34 and the third-stage lifting mechanism 32 use electric push rods to cooperate with the slide rails and sliders in the sliding assembly for lifting; the second-stage lifting mechanism 33 uses a belt drive flat to cooperate with the sliding assembly for lifting. In other embodiments, the first-stage lifting mechanism 34, the second-stage lifting mechanism 33 and the third-stage lifting mechanism 32 can use electric push rods to cooperate with the slide rails and sliders in the sliding assembly for lifting, or linear motors to cooperate with the sliding assembly for lifting, or screw drives to cooperate with the sliding assembly for lifting, or rack drives to cooperate with the sliding assembly for lifting, or belt drives to cooperate with the sliding assembly for lifting, etc. according to practical considerations.

[0073] Each lifting method in the above embodiments has its own unique characteristics and applicable scenarios. In this embodiment, the selection may need to be comprehensively considered based on specific application requirements, travel, speed, accuracy and other factors.
