Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of catering services, and in particular to an automatic tableware sorting and recycling device. Background Art

[0002] In the fast food industry, in order to achieve rapid recycling of tableware, in addition to manual recycling, recycling equipment is also used to assist in collection and classification.

[0003] Patent publication number CN109567714A discloses a fully automatic tableware sorting and recycling machine. It includes a spoon separation mechanism, a conveyor mechanism, a chopstick screening mechanism, a chopstick separation mechanism, and a bowl and plate separation mechanism. The conveyor mechanism sequentially transfers tableware to the spoon separation mechanism, the chopstick screening mechanism, and the bowl and plate separation mechanism. The spoon separation mechanism includes a spoon suction mechanism, a spoon retaining plate, and a spoon slide for separating spoons and storing them in a spoon collection box. The chopstick screening mechanism separates bowls, chopsticks, and debris from plates and includes a bowl brushing mechanism, a plate brushing mechanism, and a bowl pushing mechanism. The chopstick separation mechanism includes a horizontal reciprocating mechanism and a rice sieve for separating chopsticks from debris, which are then stored in a chopstick and debris collection box, respectively. The bowl and plate separation mechanism separates and recycles bowls and plates and includes a screening hopper and an up-and-down reciprocating vibration mechanism. The screening hopper has an outlet for bowls and an outlet for plates.

[0004] The above device transports tableware through a transmission mechanism. First, the spoon separation mechanism separates the spoon from the tableware through magnetic attraction. Then, the food residue and chopsticks in the tableware are sorted through the rice chopstick screening mechanism and the rice chopstick separation mechanism. Finally, the bowls and plates in the tableware are sorted through the bowl and plate separation mechanism. However, the above device requires manual separation of the tableware. Otherwise, when the tableware is stacked together, the spoon is easily pressed by the bowls and plates in the tableware, resulting in the spoon separation mechanism being unable to separate the spoon through magnetic attraction. This makes it inconvenient to recycle the tableware. How to design an automatic tableware sorting and recycling device that is convenient for tableware recycling is a technical problem that this patent needs to solve. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The above scheme is further described below with reference to specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are intended to illustrate the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. The implementation conditions used in the examples can be further adjusted according to the conditions of the specific manufacturer. The implementation conditions not specified are generally those used in routine experiments.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] An automatic tableware sorting and recycling device, referring to Figures 1-6, including a base frame 1, a box body 2, a stand 3, an arc cover 4, a screening plate 5, a pushing mechanism 6 and a vibration mechanism 7. The base frame 1 is connected to the box body 2, and four separated recovery spaces are arranged inside the box body 2. The upper left part of the box body 2 is connected to the stand 3, and the top of the stand 3 is connected to the arc cover 4. The upper part of the box body 2 is slidably connected to the screening plate 5. Different types of leakage holes are opened on the left, middle and right parts of the screening plate 5. The three leakage holes correspond to the three recovery spaces on the right side of the box body 2 respectively. A pushing mechanism 6 is provided on the upper part of the box body 2. The pushing mechanism 6 is used to automatically sort tableware. A vibration mechanism 7 is provided between the upper right part of the box body 2 and the pushing mechanism 6. The vibration mechanism 7 is used to sort tableware.

[0033] Reference Figure 3-Figure 4 The pushing mechanism 6 includes a push plate 61, a threaded rod 62, a motor 63 and a first belt 64. The push plate 61 is slidably connected to the upper part of the box body 2. The push plate 61 is used to automatically sort tableware. The front and rear sides of the upper part of the box body 2 are rotatably connected to the threaded rods 62. The threaded rods 62 are threadedly connected to the push plate 61. A motor 63 is installed on the upper left side of the box body 2. The left parts of the two threaded rods 62 are connected to the output shaft of the motor 63 through a transmission wheel with a first belt 64 wrapped around them.

[0034] Reference Figure 5-Figure 6 The vibration mechanism 7 includes a fixed plate 71, a second belt 72, a rotating rod 73, a shift rod 74, a connecting rod 75 and a first return spring 76. A fixed plate 71 is welded on the upper right side of the box body 2. The upper part of the fixed plate 71 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 73. The right parts of the two threaded rods 62 are both wrapped with the second belt 72 through the transmission wheel with the rotating rod 73. A shift rod 74 is welded in the middle of the right side of the screening plate 5. The rotating rod 73 contacts the shift rod 74. A connecting rod 75 is welded on the right side of the screening plate 5. The connecting rod 75 is located on the rear side of the shift rod 74. A first return spring 76 is connected between the connecting rod 75 and the box body 2.

[0035] When in use, put the tableware into the box body 2 and locate it on the right part of the screening plate 5, start the motor 63, and the output shaft of the motor 63 drives the threaded rod 62 to rotate through the transmission wheel and the first belt 64. The threaded rod 62 drives the rotating rod 73 to rotate through the transmission wheel and the second belt 72, so that the rotating rod 73 repeatedly contacts and separates with the deflector rod 74. When the rotating rod 73 contacts the deflector rod 74, it pushes the deflector rod 74 to move forward, and the deflector rod 74 drives the screening plate 5 and the connecting rod 75 to move forward. The first return spring 76 is compressed, and when the rotating rod 73 separates from the deflector rod 74, it drives the deflector rod 74 to move forward under the action of the first return spring 76. The rod 74, the screening plate 5 and the connecting rod 75 move backward and reset, so that the rotating rod 73 repeatedly contacts and separates from the dial rod 74. Under the action of the rotating rod 73 and the first reset spring 76, the screening plate 5 repeatedly shakes back and forth, thereby driving the tableware to shake, and then disperses the tableware to prevent the tableware from being stacked and inconvenient to classify. When the threaded rod 62 rotates, the threaded rod 62 drives the push plate 61 to move left and contact the tableware. The push plate 61 pushes the tableware to move left, so that the tableware falls through the matching leakage holes on the screening plate 5 into the recovery space of the corresponding box 2, thereby realizing automatic classification and recycling of the tableware. After the classification is completed, the motor 63 is turned off.
