Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of trash can technology, specifically to an intelligent trash sorting bin based on visual recognition. Background Technology

[0002] As major cities have successively implemented garbage sorting, numerous problems have arisen in the process. Factors such as garbage disposal methods, hazards, and utilization value determine how garbage should be sorted, making the principles of garbage sorting complex. Furthermore, garbage sorting standards vary slightly from region to region. From an individual perspective, identifying which category garbage belongs to in a short time remains a challenge. While some apps can query the category of garbage, they still rely on human judgment based on descriptions, which is not convenient enough. Therefore, this intelligent sorting garbage bin has been innovatively created, using visual assistance for sorting, which to some extent solves the problems caused by not knowing how to sort garbage or making incorrect sorting decisions in garbage disposal.

[0003] We have seen many communities innovatively using intelligent, contactless trash cans to reduce the risk of contact. Residents can open the trash can lids by scanning codes, swiping cards, facial recognition, or even infrared sensing systems. Intelligent and user-friendly trash cans have great potential. However, we understand that the application of trash cans using computer vision-assisted sorting is relatively limited. Although similar devices exist both domestically and internationally, Chinese patent application number 202120399194.2 discloses a machine vision-based intelligent trash sorting bin. While this device uses an electronic camera on a detection and recognition platform to give the trash sorting bin image recognition capabilities, enabling intelligent identification and sorting of trash instead of manual guidance, thus reducing the waste of human resources, and allowing different types of trash to be placed into their corresponding bins, some types of trash, such as "kitchen waste" and "leftover fruit," contain a large amount of moisture. If this moisture persists, bacteria may proliferate, potentially impacting the surrounding environment. Therefore, we propose a vision-based intelligent trash sorting bin. Summary of the Invention

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-9 This invention provides a technical solution: a visual recognition-based intelligent waste sorting bin, comprising a bin body 1, a detection box 2 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bin body 1, a detection groove 3 opened inside the detection box 2, a camera 4 fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the detection groove 3, a supplementary light 5 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the camera 4, a display screen 6 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bin body 1, and a voice broadcaster 7 fixedly connected to one end of the outer surface of the bin body 1 located below the bin body 1. Under the action of the camera 4, the waste can be sorted out, and the type of waste can be announced through the voice broadcaster 7.

[0028] The interior of the container 1 is provided with an isolation plate 8, and the interior of the isolation plate 8 has equally spaced separation holes 23. The outer surface of the isolation plate 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the container 1. The interior of the isolation plate 8 has a sliding groove 9. The side wall of the container 1 is equipped with an electric door 10 corresponding to the separation holes 23. The electric door 10 is installed on the side wall of the container 1 above the isolation plate 8. The electric door 10 can be controlled by the detection box 2. When the waste inside the detection box 2 detects waste, the corresponding electric door 10 can be opened.

[0029] A manual door 11 is provided on the side wall of the container 1 below the partition plate 8. Opening the manual door 11 allows the garbage inside the container 1 to be removed, which facilitates the subsequent use of the equipment.

[0030] Above the isolation plate 8, a compression mechanism 12 corresponding to the separation hole 23 is provided. The compression mechanism 12 includes a pressure plate 121. A magnetic strip 122 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the pressure plate 121. An annular roller 123 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pressure plate 121. Three equally spaced sliders 124 are slidably connected to the outer surface of the annular roller 123. An electric push rod 125 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slider 124. The outer surface of the electric push rod 125 is fixedly connected to the upper wall of the box 1. Under the action of the electric push rod 125, the pressure plate 121 can move up and down, thereby compressing the garbage inside the box 1 and squeezing out the moisture inside the garbage, thereby enabling the garbage to dry quickly.

[0031] A circular plate 126 is fixedly connected to one end of the electric push rod 125 located outside the housing 1. The upper surface of the circular plate 126 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the observation lamp 13.

[0032] A frame 127 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the electric push rod 125. A motor 129 is fixedly connected inside the frame 127. A hollow shaft 128 is fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the motor 129. The outer surface of the hollow shaft 128 is rotatably connected to the upper wall of the housing 1. An elliptical shaft 1210 is slidably connected to one end of the hollow shaft 128 inside the housing 1. The other end of the elliptical shaft 1210 outside the hollow shaft 128 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pressure plate 121. The frame 127 supports the motor 129, making the motor 129 more stable during use, which in turn allows the hollow shaft 128 to rotate. The rotation of the hollow shaft 128 enables the rotation of the elliptical shaft 1210 and the pressure plate 121.

[0033] An observation light 13 is provided above the compression mechanism 12. An outer box 14 is provided inside the box 1 below the isolation plate 8. The bottom of the compression mechanism 12 enters the outer box 14 through the separation hole 23 to compress the waste. At the same time, a detection mechanism is provided inside the outer box 14. A bracket 15 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the outer box 14. The upper end of the bracket 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide 9. Under the action of the bracket 15, the outer box 14 is supported. With the cooperation of the slide 9, it is more convenient to remove the outer box 14 from the inside of the box 1, thus facilitating the removal of the waste inside the outer box 14.

[0034] An annular plate 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 14. A centrifuge cylinder 17 is rotatably connected inside the annular plate 16. Magnetic strips 18 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the centrifuge cylinder 17 at equal intervals. The upper end of magnetic strip 18 and the lower end of magnetic strip 122 have the same magnetic poles, so that when magnetic strip 18 and magnetic strip 122 come into contact, they will not be on the same straight line. The detection mechanism can cooperate with magnetic strip 122 and is electrically connected to the observation light 13. The observation light 13 can be used to determine whether the garbage inside the centrifuge cylinder 17 is compressed in place.

[0035] A drainage mechanism 19 is provided below the centrifuge cylinder 17. The drainage mechanism 19 includes a rotating shaft 191. One end of the rotating shaft 191 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the centrifuge cylinder 17. A spiral blade 192 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 191. A scraper 193 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 191 below the spiral blade 192. When the rotating shaft 191 rotates, it can cause the spiral blade 192 to rotate. At this time, smaller waste particles will not be deposited together. At the same time, the rotation of the rotating shaft 191 can cause the scraper 193 to rotate.

[0036] The bottom wall of the outer casing 14 is threaded with a water outlet pipe 20. A cleaning mechanism 21 is installed inside the water outlet pipe 20. A connecting pipe 22 is installed on the bottom wall of the casing 1 below the water outlet pipe 20. The cleaning mechanism 21 includes a movable plate 211. The outer surface of the movable plate 211 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the water outlet pipe 20. A trapezoidal block 212 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable plate 211. The outer surface of the trapezoidal block 212 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the scraper 193. The movable plate 211 has water holes 213 arranged in a circular array inside. When the scraper 193 rotates, the movable plate 211 can be moved by the trapezoidal block 212. At this time, the accumulated water can be discharged through the water holes 213, and the sediment can be filtered out.

[0037] A telescopic rod 214 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the movable plate 211. A rod frame 215 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod 214 away from the movable plate 211. The outer surface of the rod frame 215 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water outlet pipe 20. A top rod 216 arranged in a circular array is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rod frame 215. The telescopic rod 214 supports the movable plate 211. At the same time, the top rod 216 can clean the water hole 213 in time to avoid clogging of the water hole 213.

[0038] A spring 217 is sleeved on the outer surface of the telescopic rod 214. One end of the spring 217 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the movable plate 211, and the end of the spring 217 away from the movable plate 211 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rod frame 215. When the movable plate 211 moves downward, it can cause the spring 217 to generate elastic force, and then under the action of the elastic force, the movable plate 211 can be reset.

[0039] Working Principle: When using this device, firstly, garbage is placed inside the detection tank 3. Then, the camera 4 takes a picture of the garbage and transmits the image to the detection box 2. After data analysis, the corresponding electric door 10 opens, allowing the garbage to be thrown into the corresponding separation cylinder 23, thus achieving garbage sorting. Simultaneously, when the garbage bin is full, the electric push rod 125 moves the pressure plate 121 downwards. Under the action of magnetic strips 18 and 122, they are misaligned, allowing the pressure plate 121 to extend into the centrifuge cylinder 17. Then, the motor 129 is activated, causing the hollow shaft 128 to rotate. The rotation of the hollow shaft 128 drives the elliptical shaft 1210 and the pressure plate 121 to rotate. Meanwhile, the magnetic strip 122 is located inside the centrifuge cylinder 23 and is misaligned with magnetic strip 18. When the pressure plate 121 drives the magnetic strip 122 to rotate, it causes the magnetic strip 18 to be misaligned. The centrifuge drum 17 rotates, which quickly dries and compresses the waste inside. Simultaneously, the rotation of the centrifuge drum 17 causes the rotating shaft 191 to rotate, which in turn causes the scraper 193 and spiral blade 192 to rotate. The spiral blade 192 agitates the discharged wastewater. The rotation of the scraper 193 causes the trapezoidal block 212 to move downwards, which in turn causes the movable plate 211 to move downwards. The movable plate 211 then returns to its original position under the action of the telescopic rod 214 and spring 217. The top rod 216 continuously cleans the water hole 213, preventing blockage during drainage. After the waste inside the centrifuge drum 17 is compressed, the operator can open the manual door and remove the outer casing 14 and centrifuge drum 17 from the inside of the casing 1, allowing for the cleaning of the waste inside the centrifuge drum 17.
