[0015] A cleaning method of an automatic garbage sorting street cleaning machine based on visual recognition technology comprises the following steps:

[0016] S1: Receive instructions and drive in a straight line along the street line to the garbage cleaning area through the GPS navigation system;

[0017] S2: When going to the garbage cleaning area, the first camera and ultrasonic ranging sensor sense the situation in front of and around the machine, and upload the information to the processing board, which determines whether it is garbage. If it is garbage, the machine collects and classifies the garbage. If it is a pedestrian, the control board controls the buzzer to remind the pedestrian to avoid it. If it is an obstacle, the control board cooperates with the GPS system to re-plan the route and drive to the designated location to avoid the obstacle;

[0018] S3: After it is determined to be garbage, the first electric push rod controls the roller brush device bracket and the side brush device bracket, as well as the collection box to descend, and the stepper motor controls the two side brushes to rotate in different directions, controls the rotation of the roller brush, and controls the dust suction fan and the nozzle to start by the control panel;

[0019] S4: When the first gravity sensor no longer senses the change in gravity, it is determined that the garbage has entered the collection box. At this time, the control panel controls the steering gear to rotate, so that the push plate pushes the garbage in the collection area of ​​the collection box into the lifting bin of the lifting device, and the push plates on both sides prevent the garbage from scattering;

[0020] S5: When the first gravity sensor at the bottom of the lifting bin of the collection box no longer senses gravity, the control panel controls the lifting servo motors of the first screw rod and the second screw rod to rotate, driving the lifting bin and the garbage on the lifting bin to rise to the limit bin; at the same time, the lifting motor in the base of the feeding box controls the feeding box to descend to the lowest point of the fixed slide;

[0021] S6: Since the height of the first screw rod is higher than that of the second screw rod, the lifting bin is blocked by the clamping ring when it rises to the highest point of the second screw rod, and the other end of the lifting bin continues to rise along the second screw rod, the lifting bin tilts, and the garbage slides out of the lifting bin and enters the feeding box at the lowest point of the fixed slide through the inclined groove-shaped fixed slide; and in the process of the garbage falling from the fixed slide to the feeding box, the second camera collects the garbage image information above the fixed slide and transmits it to the processing board;

[0022] S7: When the second gravity sensor at the bottom of the feeding box no longer senses the change in gravity, it is detected that the garbage has been collected in the feeding box, and the information is transmitted to the processing board, which controls the lifting motor to drive the feeding box to rise through the control board;

[0023] S8: After the feeding box reaches the top of the trash bin, the processing board controls the horizontal servo motor and the vertical servo motor through the control board according to the type of garbage, moves the feeding box to the top of the designated trash bin, and then drives the second electric push rod to open the loading plate, and the garbage falls into the corresponding trash bin;

[0024] S9: When the third gravity sensor at the bottom of the trash bin detects that the trash bin is full, or the water level sensor in the water tank detects that the water storage tank is insufficient, the control panel controls the driving mechanism to return to the garbage collection station for processing.

[0025] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. The first camera identifies the garbage on the street, and the side brush and roller brush can clean the street garbage. The garbage is swept into the collection area on both sides of the collection box by the side brush, and then the garbage enters the lifting device to lift the garbage. When it reaches the high point, the garbage falls into the feeding box through the fixed slide. When passing the fixed slide, the second camera identifies the garbage passing through the fixed slide, and the feeding box base drives the feeding box to move upward to the top of the garbage bin. The slide device moves, driving the feeding box base and the feeding box to move to the top of the corresponding garbage bin, opening the opening and closing device at the bottom of the feeding box, and the garbage falls into the garbage bin. Through the above structure, the garbage cleaning is stable. During the cleaning process, the visual recognition system can be used to classify the cleaned garbage. Through the Mecanum wheel drive movement, the movement is convenient, flexible and fast. Through the camera and ultrasonic ranging sensor, the presence of people and obstacles can be sensed, and complex situations such as street traffic can be responded to in time, and street garbage can be automatically cleaned and classified, avoiding the waste of human resources.

[0027] 2. The garbage in the collection area is pushed onto the lifting bin by the push plate. The first screw rod and the second screw rod rotate, and the lifting bin is clamped between the two push plates and moves upward to reach the limit bin. The height of the first screw rod is higher than that of the second screw rod. When it rises to the top of the second screw rod, it is limited by the clamping ring, and the first screw rod continues to rotate, driving the lifting bin to tilt toward the fixed slide, so that the garbage rolls onto the fixed slide for classification and scanning.

[0028] 3. The longitudinal driving wheel and the limiting wheel are arranged up and down, clamping the longitudinal moving track. The longitudinal servo motor drives the transverse sliding assembly to move longitudinally, and the transverse servo motor drives the transverse sliding seat to move transversely. The entire sliding assembly runs stably and accurately, without slipping, and the feeding position is more accurate.

[0029] 4. The feeding box is connected to the feeding box base through a telescopic sleeve. The lifting motor drives the traction wheel to rotate, thereby pulling the feeding box upward. The telescopic sleeve is a multi-section pipe with different diameters that are connected together, which has a limiting guide function. When the feeding box moves downward, it can fall by its own gravity. When falling, the lifting motor needs to rotate in the opposite direction to release the traction cable. The two loading plates can open and close relative to each other in a small space, and the cleaning device structure is more compact.

[0030] 5. The cleaning machine also includes a spray system, which includes a nozzle installed at the rear of the shell and a water tank under the trash can. A water pump is arranged inside the water tank and connected to the nozzle through a pipe, so as to facilitate watering and disinfecting the road surface. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0066] S8: After the feeding box 212 reaches the top of the garbage bin 224, the processing board 12 controls the horizontal servo motor 207 and the vertical servo motor 208 via the control board 11 according to the type of garbage, and moves the feeding box 212 to the top of the designated garbage bin 224, and then drives the second electric push rod 201 to open the loading plate 223, and the garbage falls into the corresponding garbage bin 224;

[0067] S9: When the third gravity sensor at the bottom of the trash bin 224 detects that the trash bin 224 is full, or the water level sensor in the water tank 007 detects that the water is insufficient, the control board 11 controls the driving mechanism to return to the garbage collection station for processing.

[0068] Working process and principle of the present invention:

[0069] After receiving the user's instruction, the machine drives in a straight line along the street line to the garbage cleaning area through the GPS navigation system. In the process of going to the garbage cleaning area, the first camera and ultrasonic ranging sensor sense the situation in front of and around the machine, and the information is uploaded to the processing board, which determines whether it is garbage. If it is garbage, the machine collects and classifies the garbage. If it is a pedestrian, the control board controls the buzzer to remind the pedestrian to avoid it. If it is an obstacle, the control board cooperates with the GPS system to re-plan the route and avoid the obstacle to the designated location. When it is determined to be garbage, the first electric push rod controls the roller brush bracket and the side brush bracket, as well as the collection box to descend, and the stepper motor controls the two side brushes to rotate in different directions to control the rotation of the roller brush. At the same time, the control board controls the fan and the nozzle to start. When the first gravity sensor no longer senses the change in gravity, it is determined that the garbage has entered the collection box. At this time, the control board controls the steering gear to rotate, so that the push plate pushes the garbage in the collection area of ​​the collection box into the lifting bin of the lifting device, and the push plates on both sides prevent the garbage from scattering. When the first gravity sensor at the bottom of the lifting bin of the collection box no longer senses gravity, the control panel controls the lifting servo motors of the first and second screw rods to rotate respectively, driving the lifting bin and the garbage on the lifting bin to rise to the limit bin; at the same time, the lifting motor in the base of the feeding box controls the feeding box to descend to the lowest point of the fixed slide. Since the height of the first screw rod is higher than that of the second screw rod, the lifting bin is blocked by the clamping ring when it rises to the highest point of the second screw rod, and the other end of the lifting bin continues to rise along the second screw rod, the lifting bin tilts, and the garbage slides out of the lifting bin and enters the feeding box at the lowest point of the fixed slide through the inclined groove-shaped fixed slide; and in the process of the garbage falling to the feeding box via the fixed slide, the second camera collects the garbage image information above the fixed slide and transmits it to the processing board. When the second gravity sensor at the bottom of the feeding box no longer senses the change in gravity, it detects that the garbage has been collected in the feeding box, and transmits the information to the processing board, which controls the operation of the lifting motor via the control board to drive the feeding box to rise. After the feeding box reaches the top of the trash bin, the processing board controls the horizontal servo motor and the vertical servo motor through the control board according to the type of garbage, moves the feeding box to the top of the designated trash bin, and then drives the second electric push rod to open the loading plate, and the garbage falls into the corresponding trash bin. When the third gravity sensor at the bottom of the trash bin detects that the trash bin is full, or the water level sensor in the water tank detects that the water storage is insufficient, the control board controls the drive mechanism to return to the garbage collection station for processing.
