Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of equipment recycling technology, and more specifically to a collection device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the number of obsolete service terminals in the market is increasing year by year, thus the demand for recycling and reuse of these terminals is constantly growing. The traditional dismantling of obsolete service terminals typically involves cutting open the outer casing and then using dismantling tools such as shears and screws to separate the modules.

[0003] However, due to the specific purpose of self-service terminals, their casings are mostly made of hard metal, and the cutting process often employs methods such as manual flame cutting or plasma cutting. Furthermore, the casing panels often reach very high temperatures after cutting, posing a safety threat to the personnel performing the cutting.

[0004] Furthermore, due to the different models of waste service terminals, their shapes and sizes also vary, and the existing cutting and collection equipment cannot be reasonably configured to address the different models and sizes during the actual dismantling process.

[0005] Therefore, existing technologies need further development. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and provide a collection device to solve the technical problem that recycling equipment in related technologies cannot recycle different types of waste terminals.

[0011] Furthermore, a sealing tube is installed inside the operating table. The sealing tube is sleeved on the outside of the exhaust pipe. The sealing tube and the outer wall of the exhaust pipe form a sealing channel. The sealing channel is filled with sealing fluid, and the sealing fluid in the sealing channel wraps around the exhaust pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, the collection device also includes a water spraying device connected to the operating table, and a sealed channel connected to the water spraying device to inject sealing fluid into the sealed channel through the water spraying device.

[0013] Furthermore, the suction cup includes an exhaust port, which is connected to a sealing channel and an air extraction pipe; the connection between the air extraction pipe and the exhaust port is located inside the exhaust port; and an air inlet, which is connected to the exhaust port; the air inlet is located at the end of the suction cup away from the operating table.

[0014] Furthermore, the exhaust port is circular; the air inlet is circular; the inner diameter of the exhaust port is smaller than the inner diameter of the air inlet; and / or, the connection between the sealing channel and the exhaust port is located inside the air inlet, so that the sealing fluid in the sealing channel is discharged after passing through the suction cup.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a collection device is provided; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 3The system includes: a cutting component 200 for cutting the parts to be recycled; the cutting component 200 is movably configured; a suction cup component 100 for picking up the cut parts to be recycled; the suction cup component 100 is movably configured; a vision component 12 for photographing the parts to be recycled; and a control module that is signal-connected to the cutting component 200, the suction cup component 100, and the vision component 12. Based on the information of the parts to be recycled photographed by the vision component 12, the control module calculates the cutting position and the picking position of the cutting component 200 to be recycled, controls the cutting component 200 to move to the cutting position to cut the parts to be recycled, and controls the suction cup component 100 to move to the picking position to pick up the cut parts to be recycled.

[0027] The vision component 12 identifies the information of the part to be recycled and transmits it to the control module. The control module controls the cutting component 200 to cut the part to be recycled according to the identified information. After cutting, the control module controls the suction cup component 100 to pick up the cut part to be recycled.

[0028] Specifically, the vision component 12 can collect information such as the location and status of the parts to be recycled and transmit the collected information to the control module. The control module analyzes the information and determines the appropriate cutting position for the parts to be recycled, as well as the cutting path of the cutting component 200. This allows for targeted cutting methods for different equipment models. After cutting, the suction cup component 100 picks up the cut parts to be recycled, solving the technical problem that recycling equipment cannot recycle different types of waste terminals.

[0029] Preferably, the vision component 12 is configured as a recognition camera.

[0030] See Figure 1 The collection device includes an operating table 16, a cutting assembly 200 and a suction cup assembly 100, all of which are mounted on the operating table 16; the operating table 16 is rotatably mounted.

[0031] Both the cutting component 200 and the suction cup component 100 are mounted on the operating table, which reduces the size of the collection device. Moreover, the operating table 16 is rotatable. After cutting is completed, only the rotation of the operating table 16 needs to be controlled to quickly move the suction cup component to the suction position, which can effectively improve the working efficiency of the collection device.

[0032] See Figures 1 to 3 The cutting assembly 200 includes a cutting section 9 for cutting the parts to be recycled; the cutting section 9 protrudes from the outer surface of the operating table 16; the suction cup assembly 100 includes a suction cup section 10 for picking up the cut parts to be recycled; the suction cup section 10 protrudes from the outer surface of the operating table 16; the cutting section 9 and the suction cup section 10 are located on opposite sides of the operating table 16.

[0033] Both the cutting section 9 and the suction cup section 10 protrude from the operating table 16. When the cutting section 9 and the suction cup section 10 are working, they can directly cut and pick up the parts to be recycled. During the working process, not only is the interference of the operating table 16 avoided, but also the parts to be recycled are usually quite hard, so it is also avoided that the parts to be recycled will scratch or damage the operating table. This extends the service life of the collection device. The cutting section 9 and the suction cup section 10 are located on opposite sides of the operating table 16, and the cutting section 9 and the suction cup section 10 are not interfered with when they work independently.

[0034] Preferably, the cutting part 9 is configured as a cutting blade.

[0035] See Figures 1 to 3 The collection device also includes an exhaust fan 11, which is connected to the operating table 16. An exhaust pipe 17 is provided inside the operating table 16. One end of the exhaust pipe 17 is connected to the exhaust fan 11, and the other end of the exhaust pipe 17 is connected to the suction cup assembly 100.

[0036] The exhaust fan 11 draws gas from the exhaust pipe 17, creating a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the suction cup 10. The suction cup 10 then uses this pressure difference to pick up the cut parts to be recycled.

[0037] See Figures 2 to 3 The control panel 16 is equipped with a sealing tube 13, which is sleeved on the outside of the exhaust pipe 17. The sealing tube 13 and the outer wall of the exhaust pipe 17 form a sealing channel 14, which is filled with sealing fluid. The sealing fluid in the sealing channel 14 surrounds the exhaust pipe 17.

[0038] The outer wall of the suction pipe 17 is sealed by the sealing channel 14. This ensures that when the suction fan 11 draws gas from the suction pipe 17, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the suction cup 10 remains stable. The pressure difference will not change due to poor sealing of the outer wall of the suction pipe 17, which could lead to insufficient suction or a gradual decrease in suction when picking up the parts to be recycled. This could result in problems such as the parts not being picked up during the process or falling off when transferred to the collection box.

[0039] See Figures 2 to 3 The collection device also includes a water spraying device 15, which is connected to the operating table 16. The sealing channel 14 is connected to the water spraying device 15 so as to inject sealing fluid into the sealing channel 14 through the water spraying device 15.

[0040] Before the suction cup 10 picks up the cut parts to be recycled, the water spray device 15 wets the parts to be recycled and the suction cup 10 through the sealed channel 14, which can further enhance the airtightness of the air extraction pipe 17 and stabilize the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the suction cup 10.

[0041] See Figures 1 to 3 The suction cup part 10 includes an exhaust port 101, which is connected to the sealing channel 14 and the air extraction pipe 17. The connection between the air extraction pipe 17 and the exhaust port 101 is located inside the exhaust port 101. An air inlet 102 is connected to the exhaust port 101. The air inlet 102 is located at the end of the suction cup part 10 away from the operating table 16.

[0042] The exhaust port 101 is connected to the sealing channel 14 to prevent the sealing fluid from splashing to other parts, so that the sealing fluid completely wets the component to be recycled and the suction cup part 10, thereby improving the airtightness of the exhaust pipe 17.

[0043] See Figures 1 to 3 The exhaust port 101 has a circular structure; the air inlet 102 has a circular structure; the inner diameter of the exhaust port 101 is smaller than the inner diameter of the air inlet 102; the connection between the sealing channel 14 and the exhaust port 101 is located inside the air inlet 102, so that the sealing fluid in the sealing channel 14 is discharged after passing through the suction cup part 10.

[0044] The inner diameter of the exhaust port 101 is smaller than the inner diameter of the air inlet 102, forming a conical channel. The gas flows through the gradually changing cross-sectional area of ​​the channel, which can reduce pressure loss and increase the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the suction cup part 10, making the suction force of the suction cup part 10 greater.

[0045] See Figure 1 The collection device also includes a base 1, a control module located inside the base 1, and a drive arm that is movably connected to the base 1. The drive arm is also connected to the suction cup assembly 100, the cutting assembly 200, and the vision assembly 12.

[0046] The drive arm can adjust the position and movement trajectory of the suction cup assembly 100, the cutting assembly 200 and the vision assembly 12, so that the collection device can more flexibly adapt to the collection of parts to be recycled at different heights and positions, and play an auxiliary role in cutting and recycling.

[0047] See Figure 1 The drive arm includes a first connecting arm 4, which is rotatably connected to the base 1. The other end of the first connecting arm 4 is connected to a second connecting arm 6, which is rotatably connected to the first connecting arm 4. A rotating shaft 8 is provided on the second connecting arm 6, which is rotatably connected to the second connecting arm 6. The drive arm, the suction cup assembly 100, the cutting assembly 200, and the vision assembly 12 are all connected to the rotating shaft 8. The rotation axis of the first connecting arm 4 and the rotation axis of the second connecting arm 6 are parallel to each other. The rotation axis of the first connecting arm 4 and the rotation axis of the rotating shaft 8 are perpendicular to each other.

[0048] Preferably, a horizontal rotating component 2 is also connected to the base 1. The horizontal rotating component 2 is connected to the first connecting arm 4 through the first connecting shaft 3. The first connecting arm 4 is connected to the second connecting arm 6 through the second connecting shaft 5. The rotating shaft 8 is connected to the second connecting arm 6 through the third connecting shaft 7. The cutting and collecting action of the collecting device is completed by the horizontal rotating component 2, the first connecting shaft 3, the first connecting arm 4, the vertically rotating second connecting shaft 5, the second connecting arm 6, the third connecting shaft 7, and the rotating shaft 8.

[0049] Working principle description:

[0050] S1: The vision component 12 takes pictures of the discarded service terminals to determine the type of discarded service terminals to be cut.

[0051] S2: The control module determines the movement trajectory of the cutting section 9 based on the determined type of waste service terminal.

[0052] S3: The connecting arm and rotating joint of the collection device move, driving the cutting part 9 to complete the cutting of the outer shell panel of the waste service terminal.

[0053] S4: After cutting is complete, the operating table 16 rotates to change the position of the cutting component 200 and the suction cup component 100.

[0054] S5: The connecting arm and rotating joint of the collection device move, causing the suction cup part 10 to move to the center point of the cut-out waste service terminal shell panel, so that the suction cup part 10 fits into the panel.

[0055] S6: The water spraying device 15 injects sealing fluid into the sealing channel 14 to wet the outer shell panel and suction cup 10, enhancing the sealing of the air extraction pipe 17. Then the air extraction fan 11 operates to extract the gas in the air extraction pipe 17, creating a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the suction cup 10, which sucks up the cut waste service terminal outer shell panel.

[0056] S7: The connecting arm and rotating joint of the collection device move, causing the cut waste service terminal shell panel to be placed into the collection box. The exhaust fan 11 rotates in the opposite direction to reduce the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the suction cup part 10. The waste service terminal shell panel falls into the collection box, completing the cutting and collection of the waste service terminal shell.
