[0050] The rollers include a fixed roller 501 and a floating roller 502. The two ends of the fixed roller 501 are connected to the second frame 603 through bearing seats b. The two ends of the floating roller 502 are rotatably connected to the floating support 515. A rectangular frame 505 is connected between the first frame 602 and the second frame 603.

[0059] Apart from the above, this embodiment is exactly the same as Embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.

[0060] Example 5: Figure 14 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer walls of the fixed roller 501 and the floating roller 502 are connected with several rows of pointed pressure blocks 504, which are arranged in a curved pattern on the outer walls of the fixed roller 501 and the floating roller 502.

[0061] Apart from the above, this embodiment is exactly the same as Embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.

[0062] The specific working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0063] S1. Delivery: When the user needs to deliver, they click the delivery button on the touch control screen 7. The motor A203 drives the baffle 202 to rotate, and the delivery port 101 opens. The user inserts the bottle or can into the delivery port 101, and the bottle or can falls into one end of the belt conveyor 301. At the same time, when the object is detected by the through-beam sensor 306, the control system sends a command to the motor A203 to prevent the baffle 202 from closing the delivery port 101 and to avoid the user's hand being pinched by the baffle 202.

[0064] S2. Identification: The moment the bottle enters cabinet 1, the scanning engine 204 scans 360 degrees to identify the barcode on the bottle, and the control system determines whether the bottle is plastic or metal. If there is no barcode on the surface of the bottle, the control system identifies it through the signal fed back by the inductive sensor 305. That is, when the photoelectric sensor 304 detects the bottle and the inductive sensor 305 also detects the bottle, the control system determines that it is a metal bottle. When the photoelectric sensor 304 detects the bottle but the inductive sensor 305 does not detect the bottle, the control system determines that it is a plastic bottle.

[0065] S3. Conveying: When the photoelectric sensor 304 detects the bottle, the bottle moves towards the distribution mechanism 4 along with the belt conveyor 301. The weighing sensor 303 feeds back the weight of the bottle to the control system. If the weight of the bottle is greater than the set threshold, the control system determines that it is not an empty bottle, and the belt conveyor 301 reverses to remove the bottle. If the control system determines that it is an empty bottle, the bottle continues to move towards the distribution mechanism 4.

[0066] S4. Material Distribution: If the belt conveyor 301 is conveying metal bottles, the electric push rod 404 is in the retracted state, and the metal bottles fall through the channel between the fixed roller 501 and the floating roller 502 at the end of the pressure bar 503; if the belt conveyor 301 is conveying plastic bottles, the electric push rod 404 extends, and the plastic bottles fall through the channel between the fixed roller 501 and the floating roller 502 at the end of the pressure bar 503.

[0067] S5. Flattening: Motor C511 drives the fixed roller 501 to rotate, which in turn drives the floating roller 502 to rotate. The pressure bar 503 flattens the metal bottle, and the pointed pressure block 504 is used to puncture and flatten the plastic bottle. When encountering a thicker beverage bottle, the spring 510 compresses to make the floating roller 502 retract to facilitate the passage of the bottle and prevent the motor from jamming. The flattened plastic and metal bottles fall into the two receiving slots of the storage basket respectively. When needed, the storage basket can be pulled out by opening the front cabinet door 102.

[0068] S6, Full: When the ultrasonic sensor detects bottles and cans in the storage basket, the recycling machine's recycling function is turned off, and the delivery function is restored after the staff completes the material removal and resets the bin to zero.

[0069] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. All equivalent transformations or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
