[0015] Beneficial effects:

[0016] (1) By providing an energy collection component, the solar panels on the internal fan blades convert daily solar energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery. On rainy days, the fan blades and water flow drive the central shaft to rotate to provide power to the generator and store the generated electrical energy in the battery. Rainwater is also collected, thus achieving the effect of providing energy using natural conditions.

[0017] (2) By providing a recycling end, the fan doors and linkage shafts at its upper and lower ends enable the previously put plastic bottles to be guided into the processing chamber when plastic bottles enter the recycling end, while the newly put plastic bottles are temporarily stored in the recycling end. After the fan doors return to their original positions, the contact switches are connected to guide the water source in the water storage tank into the cleaning component to clean the plastic bottles, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning the outside of the plastic bottles.

[0018] (3) By providing a heat treatment component, the plastic bottle entering the treatment chamber will pass through the heat treatment component into the treatment chamber by using its one-way opposing opening baffle. The internal motor drives the driving wheel to rotate, so that the whole thing moves towards the end of the treatment chamber and squeezes the plastic bottle. Combined with the needle component, the plastic bottle is punctured and the residual beverage inside is squeezed out and discharged through the water channel. After discharge, the plastic bottle is heated and melted by the hot melt plate and introduced into the collection box for collection, thereby reducing the space occupied by the plastic bottle in the collection box.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 9 As shown:

[0038] When the invention is put into use, the fan blades 204 in the energy harvesting component 2, combined with the solar panel, will convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery 108. In windy or rainy weather, the fan blades 108 will rotate under the wind or under the flow of rainwater, thereby driving the central shaft 203 to rotate and drive the generator 107 to generate electricity and store the electrical energy in the battery 108. At the same time, rainwater will be collected through the conical shell 201 and introduced into the water storage tank 103.

[0039] When someone puts a plastic bottle into the recycling terminal 3, the upper door 301 of the recycling terminal 3 will be opened by external force, and the lower door 301 will open together under the action of the linkage shaft 303, thereby guiding the plastic bottle originally stored in the recycling terminal 3 into the processing chamber 109. The newly entered plastic bottle will remain in the recycling terminal 3 due to the self-rotation of the door 301. At this time, the contact switch 304 on the inside of the door 301 will be interconnected and connect the water pipe between the water storage tank and the recycling terminal, so that the water source in the water storage tank 103 enters the recycling terminal 3. At the same time, the telescopic tube 306 in the embedded groove 305 inside the recycling terminal 3 pushes out the cleaning component 307 and introduces the water source into it, thereby spraying the water out through the nozzle 309 in the cleaning strip 308 and driving the cleaning brush wheel 310 to rotate and clean the outside of the plastic bottle.

[0040] Example 2:

[0041] As attached Figure 1 , 2 As shown in numbers 3, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14:

[0042] After the plastic bottle enters the processing chamber 109, it will push open the baffle 407 in the processing assembly 4 and enter the processing chamber 109. At this time, after all the plastic bottles are put in, the motor 405 is controlled by the display panel 101 to work, thereby driving the transmission rod 404 to drive the moving wheel 406 to rotate. The rack on the moving wheel 406 meshes with the rack and pinion track 115 and drives the heat treatment assembly 4 to move inside the processing chamber 109 to squeeze the plastic bottle. At the same time, when the heat treatment assembly 4 moves, the driving end 401 at its top will contact the top of the processing chamber 109 and drive the output shaft 403 to rotate to provide power to the inside of the baffle 407.

[0043] The meshing end 408 at the top of the baffle 407 transmits power from the drive end 401 to the drive rod 409, thereby driving the transfer rod 410 to rotate and transmitting power to the needle assembly 417. At this time, the needle assembly 417 uses the transmission screw head 422 at its end to drive the rotating screw 420 and the screw plate 421 to rotate, and uses the thread on the outer diameter of the screw plate 421 to drive the screw 419 to rotate and drive the needle rod 424 to rotate under the action of the base plate 425. At the same time, the needle rod 424 will penetrate into the plastic bottle when the heat treatment assembly 4 squeezes the plastic bottle, and when it rotates, it will throw out the adsorption assembly 426 in its outer wall to adsorb the water stains remaining inside the plastic bottle. Finally, the collected water is introduced into the transfer rod 410 through the built-in channel inside the needle assembly 417 and the transmission screw head 422.

[0044] After water is introduced into the transmission rod 410, it is guided into the water guide rod 412 through the conductive screw head 413 engaged at its bottom end and then transmitted to the water outlet rod 414. Thus, the water is transmitted to the water diversion channel 114 by the water outlet rod 414 aligned with the water diversion channel 114 and discharged through the drain pipe 110.

[0045] When the plastic bottle is fully compressed, the heating wire in the hot melt plate 415 heats and melts the plastic bottle, and the liquid plastic is introduced into the baffle 407 and flows through the through hole on the bottom inner wall of the baffle 407 into the plastic leakage area 113, and finally flows into the collection box 112 in the collection chamber 111 for storage.

[0046] Working principle: When the invention is put into use, the energy collection component 2 will convert the kinetic energy generated by solar energy, wind energy, and water flow into electrical energy and store it in the battery 108, and collect rainwater in the water storage tank 103. When the plastic bottle enters the return water end 3, the fan door 301 will be opened, allowing the plastic bottle inside to be guided into the processing tank 109, or the fan door 301 will be used to store the newly put plastic bottle in the recycling end 3. At this time, the contact switch 304 on the inside of the fan door 301 will be interconnected and connect the water pipe between the water storage tank and the recycling end, so that the water source in the water storage tank 103 enters the recycling end 3. At the same time, the telescopic tube 306 in the embedded groove 305 inside the recycling end 3 pushes out the cleaning component 307 and guides the water source into it, so that the water source is sprayed out through the nozzle 309 in the cleaning strip 308 and drives the cleaning brush wheel 310 to rotate to clean the outside of the plastic bottle.

[0047] After the plastic bottles enter the processing chamber 109, they will push open the baffle 407 in the processing assembly 4 and enter the interior of the processing chamber 109. At this time, after all the plastic bottles are put in, the motor 405 is controlled by the display panel 101 to work, thereby driving the transmission rod 404 to drive the moving wheel 406 to rotate. The rack on the moving wheel 406 meshes with the rack and pinion track 115 and drives the heat treatment assembly 4 to move inside the processing chamber 109 to squeeze the plastic bottles. At the same time, when the heat treatment assembly 4 moves, the driving end 401 at its top will engage with the processing chamber. The top of 109 contacts and drives the output shaft 403 to rotate, providing power to the inside of the baffle 407. The meshing end 408 at the top of the baffle 407 transmits the power from the drive end 401 to the drive rod 409, driving the transfer rod 410 to rotate. This causes the needle assembly 417 to pierce into the plastic bottle and rotate. The centrifugal force generated during rotation throws the adsorption assembly 426 out to adsorb the water stains remaining inside the plastic bottle. The collected water is then guided into the transfer rod 410 through the built-in channel and the transfer screw head 422 inside the needle assembly 417. After water is introduced into the transfer rod 410, it is guided into the water guide rod 412 through the conducting screw head 413 engaged at its bottom end and then transmitted to the water outlet rod 414. The water stains are then transmitted to the water intake channel 114 by the water outlet rod 414, which is aligned with the water intake channel 114, and discharged through the drain pipe 110. When the plastic bottle is fully compressed, the heating wire in the hot melt plate 415 heats and melts the plastic bottle, and the liquid plastic is introduced into the baffle 407 and flows through the through hole on the bottom inner wall of the baffle 407 into the plastic leakage area 113, and finally flows into the collection box 112 in the collection chamber 111 for storage.
