Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mask recycling equipment, and particularly relates to a mask detection and recycling machine. Background Art

[0002] A mask is a sanitary product, generally referring to a product worn over the mouth and nose to filter the air entering the mouth and nose, so as to block harmful gases, odors, droplets, viruses and other substances. In particular, medical masks that can be used to resist bacteria and viruses are made by compounding one or more layers of non-woven fabrics. The main production processes include meltblowing, spunbonding, hot air or needling, etc. They have the effects of resisting liquids, filtering particulate matter and bacteria, and are a kind of textile with an electrostatic adsorption effect. They are widely used in hospitals or areas with highly contagious epidemics transmitted through the air. Used masks may carry a large number of microorganisms, bacteria or viruses. These microorganisms may be adsorbed on the outer surface of the mask through inhalation, or may be adsorbed on the inner surface of the mask through exhalation because the user himself carries bacteria or viruses. Therefore, the recycling of waste masks is crucial.

[0003] Currently, in some areas where there are influenza or virus pandemics transmitted through the air, medical masks are scarce resources. People usually reuse a medical mask several times. People are unable to judge the effectiveness of the mask, and thus are unable to judge whether it should be discarded or can still be used. Therefore, when people want to discard a mask, a simple identification device is needed to help people. In addition, after general masks are used, they are often discarded into the trash can together with other garbage, which is not convenient for recycling. At the same time, the pathogens remaining on the masks also pose a risk of spreading infection. At present, for the recycling of masks, the masks are simply packaged centrally and then recycled. Generally, they are put into plastic bags and then placed in a special trash can. However, the current special trash can does not have a compression function. The masks themselves and the plastic bags containing the masks are large in volume and small in mass. Without being squeezed, the trash can will be filled quickly, but there are actually a large number of gaps inside the trash can and the utilization rate is low. Moreover, ordinary trash cans do not have a door lock device, which is easily exploited by lawbreakers to take out the contaminated masks, so that the used masks flow back into the market again, endangering the social population. For this reason, we have proposed a mask detection and recycling machine. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the existing technology, the present invention provides a mask detection and recycling machine, which can simply identify the effectiveness of medical masks. It conducts tests and identifications by using the electrostatic adsorption property of the meltblown cloth, which is the material for making medical masks, and gives corresponding reminders to prevent people from continuing to use ineffective medical masks and causing infections. At the same time, after each mask falls into the mask detection and recycling machine, the internal compression device of the mask special recycling machine squeezes it as a whole, and all the masks that fall into the mask detection and recycling machine are compacted in the waste mask collection box of the mask detection and recycling machine, which can store more waste masks. A collection box door lock is provided so that the discarded masks cannot be randomly taken out by unauthorized persons after being thrown in.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions: A mask identification and recycling machine, including a cabinet body, an input port, and a waste mask collection box, is characterized in that: it further includes a lower pressing rod, a lower pressing plate, a movable door, a telescopic rod, and a mask identification device. A support rod is provided on the lower pressing plate, and the connection method is as follows: The input port is provided at the upper part of the cabinet body, and a movable door is provided below the input port. The movable door is arranged on the lower pressing plate. The movable door and the lower pressing plate together form a whole plane, and the shape of the plane is the same as the cross-sectional area shape of the waste mask collection box and smaller than the cross-section of the waste mask collection box, and it can just extend into the waste mask collection box without causing leakage pressure or jamming of the masks in the mask collection box. One side of the movable door is movably connected to the lower pressing plate, and a telescopic rod is provided on the other side of the movable door. One end of the telescopic rod is movably connected to the movable door, and the other end is fixed to the upper part of the support rod. The support rod is vertically fixed on the lower pressing plate. The upper end of the lower pressing rod is fixedly connected to the inner top of the cabinet body, and the lower end of the lower pressing rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the lower pressing plate. The mask identification device is arranged in the cabinet body, and a door is provided outside the cabinet body.

[0006] Preferably, a mask identification and recycling machine further includes a mask identification device, and a plurality of small foam plastic particles and a high-precision sensor for detecting the movement of the foam plastic particles are arranged in the mask identification device.

[0007] Preferably, the mask identification device further includes a signal processing system, a touch input device, and an output display device.

[0008] Preferably, the lower pressing rod is an electric telescopic rod.

[0009] Preferably, the telescopic rod is an electric telescopic rod.

[0010] The present invention provides a mask detection and recycling machine, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The pressing rod, the lower pressing plate and the movable door can fully press the recycled waste masks multiple times as a whole without affecting the input port to prevent rebound. The whole mask detection and recycling machine is relatively enclosed, and the curved and enclosed input port prevents the discarded masks from being taken out again, avoiding reuse by illegal personnel. 2. The mask identification device can simply identify the effectiveness of the mask for people, whether it can be continued to be used or must be discarded, and give a prompt.

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0015] Refer to the attached Figures 1-3, a mask identification and recycling machine, comprising a cabinet body 10, an input port 3, and a waste mask collection box 7, characterized in that: it further includes a pressing rod 1, a lower pressing plate 2, a movable door 4, a telescopic rod 5, and a mask identification device 6. A support rod is provided on the lower pressing plate 2, and the connection method is as follows: the input port 3 is provided at the upper part of the cabinet body, and a movable door 4 is provided below the input port. The movable door 4 is arranged on the lower pressing plate 2. The movable door 4 and the lower pressing plate together form an integral plane. The shape of the plane is the same as the cross-sectional area shape of the waste mask collection box 7 and is smaller than the cross-section of the waste mask collection box 7, and can just extend into the waste mask collection box 7. One side of the movable door 4 is movably connected to the lower pressing plate 2 through a hinge. A telescopic rod 5 is provided on the other side of the movable door 4. One end of the telescopic rod 5 is movably connected to the movable door 4, and the other end is fixed to the upper part of the support rod. The movable door 4 can be opened and closed through the telescopic rod 5. There is an induction device at the input port. When it senses that a mask is put in, the telescopic rod 5 will extend to open the movable door 4, so that the put-in mask falls into the waste mask collection box 7 below the movable door 4 through the movable door 4, and then the telescopic rod 5 will automatically retract to close the movable door 5. This set of actions will be executed every time a mask is put in. Automatically, the telescopic rods 5 are arranged on both sides of the movable door 4 to prevent obstruction to the falling mask. The support rod is vertically fixed on the lower pressing plate 2 and descends and rises with the lower pressing plate 2. The upper end of the pressing rod 1 is fixedly connected to the inner top of the cabinet body 10, and the lower end of the pressing rod 1 is fixedly connected to the middle of the lower pressing plate 2 to ensure the left-right balance and uniform force of the lower pressing plate 2. After each mask is put in, the pressing rod 1 extends after the movable door 4 is opened and closed to lower the lower pressing plate 2 to the bottom of the waste mask collection box 7 to squeeze the mask. This set of actions will be executed every time a mask is put in to prevent the mask from rebounding. A sensor is provided at the mouth of the waste mask collection box 7 to give a reminder when the mask overflows. A locked door is provided at the corresponding position of the side of the cabinet body 10 and the waste mask collection box 7 to open the door and dump when a reminder that the waste mask collection box 7 is full appears.

[0016] The input port 3 extends into the cabinet body and further includes an arc-shaped diversion channel that extends straight to the movable door 4. The cross-sectional area of the arc-shaped diversion channel corresponds to that of the movable door 4 and the surface is smooth to prevent the mask from being stuck at the entrance and retrieved by illegal personnel.

[0017] The mask identification device further includes a signal processing system, a touch input device, and an output display device.

[0018] There is a partition layer inside the mask identification device. Inside the partition layer, there are multiple small foam plastic particles and a high-precision infrared detector sensor for detecting the movement of the foam plastic particles. When a mask tester puts the mask to be detected into the detection device, the test program is started through the touch input device, and the outer door of the mask identification device is opened. The mask tester puts the mask to be detected into the mask identification device. When the mask approaches the partition layer, the foam plastic particles inside the partition layer are affected by the electrostatic meltblown cloth material on the mask and cause adsorption movement. The high-precision infrared detector sensor detects the movement of the foam plastic particles and sends the result to the signal processing system. The signal processing system informs the mask tester of the obtained result through the output display device. If the foam plastic particles move, the output display device shows that the detected mask still has the filtering performance for microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. If the foam plastic particles do not move, the output display device shows that the detected mask does not have the filtering performance for microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses.

[0019] Preferably, the pressing rod 1 is an electric telescopic rod.

[0020] Preferably, the telescopic rod 5 is an electric telescopic rod.

[0021] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
