DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 An embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent garbage sorting device, the sorting device comprising:

[0045] Conveying unit 2, used to move the garbage along a predetermined trajectory;

[0046] A garbage identification unit 3 fixedly connected to the conveying unit 2 is used to identify the type of garbage located on the conveying unit 2;

[0047] A plurality of garbage storage units 5 located below the conveying unit 2 are used to store garbage in a classified manner;

[0048] The garbage storage unit 5 includes a garbage bin 51 and a garbage bin support plate 52 , wherein the garbage bin 51 and the garbage bin support plate 52 are slidably connected so that the garbage bin 51 can be pulled out;

[0049] Multiple groups of garbage delivery units 4 fixedly connected to the conveying unit 2 are used to deliver the identified garbage into the garbage bin 51;

[0050] A weighing unit 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the trash can support plate 52 is used to weigh the weight of the trash put into the trash can 51;

[0051] a control unit electrically connected to the conveying unit 2, the garbage identification unit 3, the garbage delivery unit 4, and the weighing unit 6;

[0052] When throwing garbage into the present invention, the garbage is thrown into one end of the conveying unit 2 of the present invention, and the conveying unit 2 drives the garbage to move on the conveying unit 2. When the garbage passes through the garbage identification unit 3, the garbage identification unit 3 identifies the type of garbage, and the garbage identification unit 3 transmits the identified garbage type information to the control unit. The control unit drives the conveying unit 2 to transport the garbage to the top of the predetermined garbage storage unit 5, and starts the garbage delivery unit 4. The garbage delivery unit 4 delivers the garbage on the conveying unit 2 into the garbage storage unit 5. When the garbage enters the garbage bin 51, the weighing value of the weighing unit 6 changes, and the weighing unit 6 transmits the changed value to the control unit, and the control unit outputs the changed value of the weighing of the weighing unit 6.

[0053] In some examples, the conveying unit 2 includes roller brackets fixedly connected to both ends of the conveying unit 2 and conveying rollers rotatably connected to the rollers. One end of the roller bracket is fixedly connected to a conveying motor 26. The output shaft of the conveying motor 26 is connected to the conveying rollers through a chain. A conveyor belt 27 is sleeved on the conveying rollers. When the conveying motor 26 is powered on and rotated, the conveying motor 26 drives the conveyor belt 27 to rotate through the conveying rollers. By controlling the speed of the conveying motor 26, the speed of the conveyor belt 27 can be controlled, thereby controlling the conveying distance of the garbage.

[0054] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the conveying motor 26 is a servo motor or a stepper motor. The servo motor and the stepper motor can accurately control the speed and number of revolutions of the conveying motor 26, thereby accurately controlling the conveying position of the garbage.

[0055] In some examples, the control unit is a microprocessor;

[0056] In some examples, the weighing unit is an electronic scale or a pressure sensor.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present invention, the conveyor belt 27 is further connected with classification baffles 28 at equal intervals. The classification baffles 28 are arranged perpendicular to the conveyor belt 27 and are used to prevent garbage from sliding on the conveyor belt 27.

[0058] When the conveyor belt 27 rotates, the conveyor belt 27 drives the classification baffle 28 to rotate, and the classification baffle 28 can push the garbage to move along the conveyor belt 27 to prevent the garbage from falling or rolling on the conveyor belt 27;

[0059] In some examples, the classification baffle 28 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 27 by screws.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present invention, the rotation track of the conveyor belt 27 is bent, and the rotation track is divided into a delivery section 21 and a conveying section 22. The delivery section 21 is sloped to facilitate users to put garbage, and the conveying section 22 is horizontal to facilitate garbage transportation.

[0061] The garbage delivery unit 4 and the garbage storage unit 5 are respectively located above and below the conveying section 22 .

[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention, the conveying unit 2 further includes:

[0063] A support leg 23 is used to support the conveying unit 2. A ball head 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the support leg 23 away from the conveying unit 2. A ball head seat 25 is sleeved on the ball head 24. The arrangement of the ball head 24 and the ball head seat 25 facilitates the installation of the conveying unit 2.

[0064] When assembling the present invention, the angle of the delivery section 21 is adjusted according to the size of the garbage storage unit 5 and the height of the delivery section 21. The angle of the delivery section 21 can be conveniently adjusted by controlling the length of the support foot 23 located at the delivery section 21. When the installation position of the conveying unit 2 is non-planar, the ball head seat 25 can self-adjust according to the angle of the installation position, so that the conveying unit 2 is always in a relatively stable state.

[0065] In one embodiment of the present invention, the garbage identification unit 3 includes:

[0066] An image acquisition module 31 fixedly connected to the conveying unit 2 is used to acquire images of the garbage and transmit them to the control unit;

[0067] A metal detection module 32 fixedly connected to the conveying unit 2 is used to identify the material of the garbage and transmit it to the control unit;

[0068] When garbage passes through the metal detection module 32, the metal detection module 32 can identify whether the garbage contains metal. When garbage passes through the image acquisition module 31, the image acquisition module 31 can collect image information of the garbage and transmit it to the control unit. The control unit intelligently recognizes the image information to identify the type of garbage, such as dry garbage, wet garbage, and whether it is recyclable.

[0069] In some examples, the image acquisition module 31 is fixedly connected to one end of the conveying unit 2 via a camera bracket;

[0070] The metal detection module 32 is a gate-shaped metal detector, and the metal detection module 32 is fixedly connected to the conveying unit 2 by screws.

[0078] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a spring is sleeved on one end of the limiting rod 43 connected to the conveying unit 2, and the spring is fixedly connected to the push plate 41. The push plate 41 is sleeved on the limiting rod 43, and the inner diameter of the position where the push plate 41 and the limiting rod 43 are connected is larger than the outer diameter of the limiting rod 43, so that the push plate 41 and the limiting rod 43 are floatingly connected, which can prevent the push plate 41 from getting stuck.

[0079] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the garbage delivery unit 4 further includes:

[0080] An air pump 44, the air pump 44 is connected to the push plate 41 through an air pipe;
