Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of waste treatment, specifically relating to a modular traceability and recycling system for household kitchen waste in bins. Background Technology
[0002] The average composition of urban waste in China is as follows: 65% decomposable organic matter, 13% plastics, 9% waste paper, 2% glass, 1% metals, and 10% other materials. Decomposable organic matter is mainly kitchen waste. Therefore, household waste can be divided into two categories for treatment: kitchen waste and non-kitchen waste. Kitchen waste can be processed using biogas and fertilizer production technology; non-kitchen waste can be recycled using waste sorting devices.
[0003] Currently, many regions have begun implementing garbage sorting, but this is all done uniformly within residential communities, and there are still issues such as unreasonable garbage sorting. Property management relies on manual inspections or the introduction of garbage bins that can identify garbage categories to monitor garbage sorting. However, manual inspections are inefficient, consume a lot of manpower, and increase labor costs. In addition, manual inspections are prone to errors and omissions, making the labor costs and benefits completely disproportionate. Although smart garbage bins avoid mis-disposal of garbage, they still have the problem of excessively high costs, and the transfer and cleaning of garbage from smart garbage bins is more troublesome than that of conventional garbage bins.
[0004] Therefore, this patent application is filed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular traceability and recycling system for household kitchen waste bins. This system transfers and processes household garbage bins, improving the effectiveness of garbage sorting.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical effects:
[0007] A modular traceability and recycling system for household kitchen waste includes a garbage bin, a garbage truck, an unloading device, a traceability and recycling device, and a cleaning device.
[0008] The trash can is a household kitchen waste can, which includes a can body and a can lid. The can lid is equipped with a QR code or RFID electronic tag, which carries the community address information and owner information of the household to which the trash can belongs.
[0009] The garbage transfer vehicle is a van-type truck, which is equipped with multiple honeycomb modules. Each honeycomb module has multiple parallel conveying devices. The side wall of the honeycomb module corresponding to each conveying device has a feeding port. Garbage bins are placed onto the conveyor belt through the feeding port, and the conveying devices are controlled to keep the conveying devices near the feeding port empty, so that multiple garbage bins can be placed on each conveying device. Each conveying device has a lid opening component on the top that can open the garbage bin lid. The honeycomb module has a drag hole on the side near the van door.
[0010] The unloading device is used to unload the honeycomb module from the garbage truck. It includes a base frame, lifting devices on both sides of the base frame, and an unloading assembly located on the top surface of the base frame and moving along the length of the base frame. After the unloading assembly is connected to the drag hole, it moves to move the honeycomb module out of the garbage truck.
[0011] The traceability and recycling processing device is used to scan the QR code or RFID electronic tag on the lid of the trash can to trace the source of the trash. Then, with the cooperation of the lid opening component, it obtains a photo of the trash inside the trash can and uses AI intelligent trash identification to determine whether the trash belongs to kitchen waste. It then uses vacuum suction technology to classify and process kitchen waste and non-kitchen waste.
[0012] The cleaning device is used to clean empty trash cans.
[0013] Furthermore, the honeycomb module includes a frame with several placement slots evenly distributed along its width. Each placement slot is equipped with a transmission device, which includes a transmission belt, a support shaft, and a rotating shaft. Two support shafts are installed at both ends of the placement slot, and the transmission belt is installed on the two support shafts. Transmission bevel gears are fitted on the two support shafts. The rotating shaft is installed in the placement slot along its length and has two drive bevel gears fitted on it. The transmission bevel gears mesh with the drive bevel gears. One end of the rotating shaft extends out of the frame and is detachably connected to a crank handle. When the rotating shaft is driven by the crank handle, the support shaft rotates, thereby driving the transmission belt.
[0014] Furthermore, several limiting blocks are evenly arranged on the conveyor belt, and the spacing between each pair of limiting blocks is adapted to the body of the trash can; a support plate is provided between the two support shafts, and the support plate is located between the conveyor belts.
[0015] Furthermore, the opening assembly includes a rotating shaft and several opening parts fitted onto the rotating shaft. The number of opening parts is the same as the number of trash cans when the conveyor belt is fully loaded, and each opening part corresponds to one trash can. Each opening part includes a top plate, an opening plate integrally formed with the top plate, and a connecting plate. The connecting plate has through holes for installing the opening parts on the rotating shaft. The top plate has an opening corresponding to the QR code on the trash can lid. The inner side of the opening plate matches the side of the lid, and the end of the opening plate away from the top plate has a hook that cooperates with the trash can lid. The rotating shaft is installed in the placement groove, and the trash can lid is opened by rotating the rotating shaft.
[0016] Furthermore, the top surfaces of both sides of the base frame are provided with racks, and the unloading assembly is provided with gears on both sides that mesh with the racks and are movable along the length of the racks.
[0017] Furthermore, the top surface of the base frame is provided with a slide rail, and the bottom surface of the honeycomb module is provided with a slide groove that cooperates with the slide rail.
[0018] Furthermore, the unloading assembly includes a main board and a hook structure mounted on the main board. Two gears are respectively mounted on both sides of the main board, and the position of the hook structure corresponds to the drag hole. The hook structure includes a clamp assembly, an unlocking ring, and a connecting shaft. A mounting hole is formed vertically inside the drag hole, and the clamp assembly is installed in the mounting hole. The clamp assembly is composed of two arc-shaped clamp plates, and a pin is provided in the middle of the outer side of the arc-shaped clamp plates. The pin is located in the mounting hole and a spring is sleeved on it. The end of the connecting shaft is provided with a limiting protrusion. The end of the device is inclined towards the main board to form a diameter smaller than that of the limiting protrusion end. The unlocking ring can be slidably fitted onto the connecting shaft. The diameter of the connecting shaft behind the unlocking ring is larger than that of the front side of the unlocking ring. The connecting shaft is connected to a telescopic device, which provides power to allow the end of the connecting shaft to pass through the clamp assembly. The arc-shaped clamp plate is located between the limiting protrusion and the unlocking ring for limiting. The end of the connecting shaft continues to extend forward. After the arc-shaped clamp plate passes the unlocking ring, it causes the unlocking ring to move closer to the limiting protrusion, which allows the arc-shaped clamp plate to detach from the connecting shaft, realizing the separation of the unloading device from the honeycomb module.
[0019] Furthermore, taking the arc-shaped clamp plate located between the limiting protrusion and the unlocking ring as a reference, the side of the arc-shaped clamp plate near the end of the connecting shaft is a vertical surface, while the other side and the bottom rounded corner form an arc surface; the unlocking ring is inclined near the side of the connecting shaft.
[0020] Furthermore, the traceability and recycling processing device includes an array barcode scanning camera or RFID identification component, a vacuum suction garbage device, and an AI garbage identification device. After the unloading device drags the honeycomb module onto the base frame, it first controls the array barcode scanning camera component to scan and identify the QR code or RFID electronic tag on the garbage can to obtain the traceability information of each garbage can, and can bind it to each household's App based on the traceability information; then, it controls the lid opening component to open the lid, and then controls the array barcode scanning camera component to take pictures of the kitchen waste in the garbage can, and sends the pictures to the AI garbage identification device. The AI garbage identification device identifies whether the garbage in the garbage can is kitchen waste. When the AI identifies that there is non-kitchen waste in the can, the vacuum suction garbage device sucks all the garbage in the can to the non-kitchen waste outlet. When the AI identifies that it is kitchen waste, the vacuum suction garbage device sucks all the garbage in the can to the kitchen waste outlet for processing.
[0021] Furthermore, the cleaning and treatment device uses a high-pressure water gun head, and the garbage bin can be dried under high pressure after cleaning.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] (1) Using household kitchen waste bins to recycle kitchen waste enables the classification and traceability of kitchen waste, and reduces the likelihood of errors;
[0024] (2) By designing multi-layer honeycomb modules inside the van, multiple garbage bins can be fixed and transferred, thus avoiding environmental pollution caused by dumping garbage in and out during the transfer process in traditional garbage disposal.
[0025] (3) Design an unloading device that works with garbage trucks to move honeycomb modules out of and into garbage trucks, enabling mechanized operation, reducing manual operation and lowering labor costs;
[0026] (4) Design a traceability and recycling processing device. By scanning QR codes or RFID electronic tags to trace the source and AI waste intelligent identification, it can effectively realize the quality identification of kitchen waste classification and improve the kitchen waste separation rate.
[0027] (5) A cleaning device was designed to use high pressure and hot water to clean the garbage can, ensuring that the can wall is clean and achieving the cyclical operation of household kitchen waste cans. Attached Figure Description

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the modular traceability and recycling system for household kitchen waste bins 10 provided in this embodiment includes a garbage bin 10, a garbage transfer vehicle 20, an unloading device 60, a traceability and recycling device, and a cleaning device.
[0039] The trash can 10 is used to store kitchen waste. In this embodiment, the trash can 10 is a household kitchen waste trash can with a storage capacity of 2-5 kg. It includes a can body and a lid that covers the opening 53 at the top of the can body for sealing. The can body is a rectangular trash can 10, and the outer side of the trash can 10 is provided with information such as kitchen waste markings and the capacity of the trash can 10. The rectangular shape of the trash can 10 facilitates positioning and fixing during transportation. The top of the can body has an outwardly extending edge for easy closing of the lid. One end of the lid can be hinged to the can body, and the other end can be fastened to the edge of the can body. The lid can also be directly and completely fastened to the edge of the can body and can be completely separated. This embodiment is more inclined to a hinged lid, which is convenient for household use.
[0040] The top of the bin lid is affixed with a QR code containing information or embedded with an RFID tag. This information includes the location information of the household to which the bin 10 belongs and the information of the person in charge. The location information is specified as follows: Province, City, District, Street, Community, Building, Unit, and Number. The person in charge information includes their name and phone number. This information can also be linked to a mobile app registered by the person in charge. The information on the QR code or RFID tag can be in a fixed mode or an erasable / rewritable mode. In the fixed mode, the bin 10 belongs to a single household until it is discarded. In the erasable / rewritable mode, the bin 10 can be given to different households each time, and information is written to it each time it is given to a different household.
[0041] The garbage transfer vehicle 20 is used to transport the garbage bins 10 containing garbage to the garbage transfer station for unified processing. The garbage transfer vehicle 20 is a box truck, such as... Figure 3 As shown, a multi-layer honeycomb module 30 is provided inside the box of the van. The honeycomb module 30 is used to store several of the trash cans 10. The length and width of the honeycomb module 30 are adapted to the length and width of the box of the van. The height of the multi-layer honeycomb module 30 after being stacked is adapted to the height of the box of the van. When the door is closed, the trash can 10 storage module will not move much. The honeycomb module 30 in this embodiment is provided with three layers. Obviously, the size and height of the honeycomb module 30 can be customized to match the size of the van.
[0042] The honeycomb module 30 includes a frame 31 and a transmission device 40, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the frame 31 is a rectangular body with several placement slots evenly distributed along its width. Each placement slot is equipped with a transmission device 40. The transmission device 40 includes a transmission belt 42, a support shaft 41, and a rotating shaft. Two support shafts 41 are installed at both ends of the placement slot, and the transmission belt 42 is installed on the two support shafts 41. Transmission bevel gears are fitted on the two supports. The rotating shaft is installed in the placement slot along its length and has two drive bevel gears fitted on it. The transmission bevel gears mesh with the drive bevel gears. When the rotating shaft is driven, the support shaft 41 rotates, thereby driving the transmission belt 42.
[0043] The conveyor belt 42 is evenly provided with multiple limiting blocks 44, and two limiting blocks 44 can just hold one trash can 10, thereby fixing and limiting the trash can 10. The rotating shaft extends from one end near the door to form a frame 31, and the extended end is equipped with a crank 38, which drives the rotating shaft and can be well matched with the staff to pick up and put down the trash cans 10. In this embodiment, there are four placement slots, and each placement slot can hold ten trash cans 10, that is, each honeycomb module 30 forms a 4×10 matrix queue.
[0044] To further enhance the weighing capacity of the conveyor 40, a support plate 45 is provided between the two support shafts 41 and between the conveyor belts 42. During transportation, the support plate 45 can provide support for the garbage can 10 and extend the service life of the conveyor belt 42.
[0045] The feeding end of the placement trough is provided with a feeding port 39, the shape of which is adapted to the side view shape of the trash can 10. The top of the placement trough is provided with a cover opening assembly 50. The cover opening assembly 50 includes a rotating shaft 51 and several cover opening parts 52 fitted on the rotating shaft 51. The number of cover opening parts 52 is the same as the number of trash cans 10 when the conveyor belt 42 is fully loaded, and each cover opening part 52 corresponds to one trash can 10. The cover opening part 52 includes a top plate, a cover opening plate integrally formed with the top plate, and a connecting plate. The connecting plate has a through hole for the cover opening part. 52 is installed on the rotating shaft 51. The top plate has an opening 53 that corresponds to the QR code on the lid of the trash can 10, allowing the QR code to be displayed for easy scanning and information acquisition. The inner side of the opening plate matches the side of the lid, and the end of the opening plate away from the top plate is provided with a hook that can hook the bottom edge of the lid. By applying a rotational force to the rotating shaft 51, the opening component 52 rotates along the rotating shaft 51, and the hook hooks the lid, thus opening the lid of the trash can 10. The lid can slide along the conveyor belt 42 to the next opening component 50.
[0046] The frame 31 has two drag holes on one side near the rear of the vehicle, which, in conjunction with the unloading device, allow the honeycomb module 30 of the van to be unloaded. Figure 4As shown, the unloading device includes a lifting mechanism, a base frame 62, and an unloading assembly 80. The lifting mechanism is implemented using an existing lifting, positioning, and limiting mechanical structure. In this embodiment, two synchronous lifting devices 61 are installed on both sides of the base frame 62, which can lift the base frame 62 up and down to match the height of each layer of honeycomb modules 30 in the van, thereby enabling unloading of honeycomb modules 30 at different layers.
[0047] The top surfaces on both sides of the base frame 62 are machined with racks, and the unloading assembly 80 is mounted on the racks. The unloading assembly 80 includes a main board 81, gears, and hook structures 82. The gears are mounted on both sides of the main board 81 and mesh with the racks. The gears are connected to a motor that drives them to move along the racks. The rotation of the motor drives the gears to rotate, thereby enabling the unloading assembly 80 to move on the base frame 62. There are two hook structures 82, each corresponding to a drag hole on the honeycomb module 30. When the hook structure 82 engages with the drag hole, the driving force generated by the motor can cause the honeycomb module to detach from the van.
[0048] The top surface of the base frame 62 is provided with a slide rail 63, and the bottom surface of the honeycomb module 30 is provided with a slide groove that matches the slide rail 63. The cooperation between the slide groove and the slide rail 63 not only provides a limiting function, but also provides a guiding direction for dragging. The shape of the slide rail 63 is a triangular pyramid, trapezoid, etc.
[0049] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the hook structure 82 includes a clamp assembly, an unlocking ring 85, and a connecting shaft 83. The clamp assembly is located inside the drag hole of the frame 31. The drag hole has a vertical mounting hole. The clamp assembly is installed in the mounting hole. The clamp assembly is composed of two arc-shaped clamp plates. A pin is provided in the middle of the outer side of the arc-shaped clamp plate. The pin is located in the mounting hole and a spring 88 is sleeved on it. The side of the arc-shaped clamp plate near the bottom of the drag hole is a vertical surface, and the other side forms an arc surface with the rounded corner of the ground. The end 84 of the connecting shaft 83 is provided with a limiting protrusion. The end 84 of the limiting protrusion is inclined towards the main board 81, forming a diameter smaller than that of the end 84 of the limiting protrusion, i.e., the end 84 is a frustum-shaped structure. The inclined surface slides against the arc surface of the arc-shaped hoop, allowing the arc-shaped hoop to move onto the connecting shaft 83. The side of the limiting protrusion away from the end 84 is a vertical surface, which interacts with the vertical surface of the arc-shaped hoop to generate resistance. The unlocking ring 85 is slidably fitted onto the connecting shaft 83. The side of the unlocking ring 85 near the end 84 forms an arc surface with a small rounded corner between it and the ring surface, and the side of the far end face also forms a slope with a large rounded corner between it and the ring surface. The diameter of the connecting shaft 83 behind the unlocking ring 85 is larger than the diameter of the front side of the unlocking ring 85. The connecting shaft 83 passes through the main board 81 and is connected to a telescopic device. The telescopic device is implemented using a cylinder. The cylinder drives the connecting shaft 83 to extend into the drag hole, and the end 84 passes through the clamp assembly. The arc-shaped clamp plate is located between the limiting protrusion and the unlocking ring 85 for limiting. The drive device drives the gear to move on the rack, moving the honeycomb module 30, thereby unloading the honeycomb module 30 from the van. The reverse rotation motor drives the gear to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the honeycomb module 30 can be reinstalled in the van. After reinstallation, the telescopic device extends the connecting shaft 83 into the drag hole again, and the arc-shaped clamp plate passes over the unlocking ring 85. Then, the telescopic device is controlled to pull back, so that the unlocking ring 85 moves closer to the limiting protrusion. The telescopic device continues to pull back, so that the arc-shaped clamp plate can be disengaged from the connecting shaft 83, thereby separating the unloading device from the honeycomb module 30.
[0050] The motherboard 81 is also provided with a drive assembly connected to the shaft 51 of the cover opening assembly 50, which can drive each shaft 51 to rotate. The drive assembly can be four separate motors, or it can be a mechanical transmission structure that drives the transmission belt 42 to rotate the four shafts 51 together through gears and belts. This structure is a common structure in the mechanical field, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0051] The traceability and recycling processing device includes an array of barcode scanning cameras or RFID electronic tag identification components, a vacuum suction waste device, and an AI waste identification device, such as... Figure 9As shown, after the unloading device drags the honeycomb module 30 onto the base frame 62, it first controls the array scanning camera or RFID electronic tag identification component to scan and identify the QR code or RFID electronic tag information on the trash can 10, obtaining the traceability information of each trash can 10, and can bind it to each household's App based on the traceability information; then, it controls the lid opening component 50 to open the lid, and then controls the array scanning camera component to take a picture of the kitchen waste in the trash can 10, and sends the picture to the AI waste identification device. The AI waste identification device identifies whether the waste in the trash can 10 is kitchen waste. When the trash can 10 is identified as containing non-kitchen waste, it controls the vacuum suction device to suck up all the waste in the trash can 10 and process it into the non-kitchen waste area. When the trash can is identified as containing kitchen waste, it controls the vacuum suction device to suck up the kitchen waste in the trash can and process it into the kitchen waste area. The information of the identified non-kitchen waste is transmitted to the user of the trash can 10 to remind the user to avoid the same mistake in the future.
[0052] The array of the barcode scanning camera components corresponds to the number and position of the trash cans 10 of the honeycomb module 30, enabling one-to-one scanning and recognition.
[0053] The cleaning device is used to clean the trash cans 10. In this embodiment, an array of high-pressure water jets is used to clean the trash cans 10. Specifically, hot water is used to create rinsing water through the high-pressure water jets to clean multiple trash cans 10. After cleaning, high-pressure gas can be used for drying. After drying, the honeycomb module 30 is moved back into the van.
[0054] The process for collecting and transporting kitchen waste is as follows: (1) Users receive their own household-specific garbage bin 10, write their ID information on the QR code, and bind it to the user's App; (2) Garbage collectors collect kitchen waste from the user's home, weigh the kitchen waste, and conduct preliminary sampling inspections; (3) Garbage bins 10 that pass the sampling inspection are placed into the honeycomb module 30 through the inlet 39, and the garbage bins 10 are moved backward by the crank handle 38 so that the inlet 39 is always empty until each placement slot is full of garbage bins 10, and then the next placement slot is placed; Garbage transfer vehicle 20 (3) After the garbage can 10 is not full, it is transferred to the garbage treatment station; (4) The garbage transfer vehicle 20 is parked in a special position, the box door is opened, the unloading component 80 is moved so that the hook structure 82 is connected to the drag hole, and the honeycomb module 30 is moved out of the garbage transfer vehicle 20 and placed on the base frame 62; (5) The array scanning camera component is controlled to scan and recognize the QR code; (6) The lid is opened, and the AI identifies whether the garbage can belongs to kitchen waste, and separates the non-kitchen waste and kitchen waste and processes them separately; (7) The garbage can 10 is cleaned and dried and then reused.
[0055] The processing system provided in this embodiment can process 5,000 to 10,000 bins of kitchen waste per day for 8 hours, which is approximately 20 to 50 tons. The same workload would require approximately 24 to 30 hours to process according to the processing capacity of existing waste stations.
[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications and substitutions based on the technical solutions and inventive concepts provided by the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The connecting shaft is connected to a telescopic device, which provides power to allow the end of the connecting shaft to pass through the clamp assembly. The arc-shaped clamp plate is located between the limiting protrusion and the unlocking ring for limiting. The end of the connecting shaft continues to extend forward. After the arc-shaped clamp plate passes the unlocking ring, it causes the unlocking ring to move closer to the limiting protrusion, which allows the arc-shaped clamp plate to detach from the connecting shaft, realizing the separation of the unloading device from the honeycomb module.
8. A modular traceability and recycling system for household kitchen waste bins according to claim 7, characterized in that: With the arc-shaped clamp plate positioned between the limiting protrusion and the unlocking ring as a reference, the side of the arc-shaped clamp plate near the end of the connecting shaft is a vertical surface, while the other side and the bottom surface are rounded to form an arc surface; the unlocking ring is inclined near the side of the connecting shaft.
9. A modular traceability and recycling system for household kitchen waste bins according to claim 1, characterized in that: The traceability and recycling processing device includes an array barcode scanning camera or RFID identification component, a vacuum garbage suction device, and an AI garbage identification device. After the unloading device drags the honeycomb module onto the base frame, it first controls the array barcode scanning camera or RFID identification component to scan and identify the QR code or RFID tag on the garbage can to obtain the traceability information of each garbage can, and can bind it to each household's App based on the traceability information. Then, the lid-opening component is controlled to open the bin lid, and the array scanning camera component is controlled to take pictures of the kitchen waste inside the bin and send the pictures to the AI waste identification device. The AI waste identification device identifies whether the waste in the bin is kitchen waste. When the AI identifies non-kitchen waste in the bin, the vacuum suction device sucks all the waste in the bin to the non-kitchen waste outlet. When the AI identifies kitchen waste, the vacuum suction device sucks all the waste in the bin to the kitchen waste outlet for processing.
10. A modular traceability and recycling system for household kitchen waste bins according to claim 1, characterized in that: The cleaning and treatment device uses a high-pressure water gun head, and the garbage can can be dried under high pressure after cleaning.
