Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an automated waste sorting station, specifically an automated waste sorting station. Background Technology

[0002] The biggest challenge in my country's waste sorting and recycling system currently lies in how to accurately classify different types of waste. This depends on residents' proactive awareness of waste sorting and how waste sorting stations can improve the accuracy of sorting and disposal. Residents' awareness requires long-term learning and gradual guidance, while our proactive intervention lies in improving the accurate disposal design of waste sorting stations.

[0003] Many existing waste sorting stations are set up with disposal windows for kitchen waste, recyclables, hazardous waste, and other waste according to sorting principles, but the following problems exist in actual use:

[0004] 1. The percentage of residents who actively and accurately dispose of their garbage is relatively low, resulting in numerous instances of incorrect disposal.

[0005] 2. Most residents prioritize convenience and habit, habitually distributing their packages to the most convenient window.

[0006] 3. All trash should be disposed of at the same window;

[0007] The aforementioned problems with waste sorting have resulted in many waste sorting stations being ineffective, requiring more time or equipment for re-sorting after collection, thus wasting resources.

[0008] To address this, those skilled in the art have proposed an automated waste sorting station, which is designed with an active screening structure to assist in the sorting and disposal of waste. Summary of the Invention

[0009] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an automated waste sorting station. The automated sorting equipment described in the claims is installed inside the waste sorting and disposal port to perform corresponding sorting processing on the waste placed on the conveyor belt, further sorting the waste and increasing the accuracy of waste sorting and disposal.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automated sorting device, comprising an associated motor and a conveyor belt driven by the associated motor, wherein the associated motor includes a power source for all drive structures within the system and an electronic control system for phased control of the power source, and a processing unit is provided above the conveyor belt, which performs phased sorting and disposal of waste according to the processing unit.

[0011] The processing unit includes a bag-opening claw, a processing roller, and a sorting lever. The bag-opening claw is located above the starting end of the conveyor belt and is used to open the garbage bags placed on the conveyor belt. The processing roller and the sorting lever are located above the conveyor belt and behind the bag-opening claw. The processing roller applies a certain amount of pressure to the items on the conveyor belt, and different types of garbage are separated in stages by applying different amounts of pressure. The sorting lever then sorts the garbage and pushes the sorted garbage to a designated area on the conveyor belt for further sorting, or pushes the sorted garbage to a specific garbage bin.

[0012] Preferably, mounting frames are fixedly installed on both sides of the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt and the separating unit are stably installed based on the mounting frames. A hydraulic rod is installed on the mounting frame directly above the conveyor belt. The advance of the hydraulic rod is controlled by an associated motor. A slide rail is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the hydraulic rod, and the bag-removing claw is slidably installed above the conveyor belt via the slide rail.

[0013] The bag-opening claws are symmetrically arranged in opposite directions in the slide rail. The two symmetrically arranged bag-opening claws are synchronously driven by the associated motor. Multiple sets of bag-opening claws are arranged side by side along the direction of the conveyor belt movement, so as to realize that the bag-opening claws move to both sides at the same time and ensure that the effective range of the bag-opening claws is covered within a certain range on the conveyor belt.

[0014] Preferably, the processing roller includes a dispersing roller and a pressure roller. Both the dispersing roller and the pressure roller are mounted above the conveyor belt via hydraulic rods. The pressure roller is mounted on the side of the dispersing roller away from the bag-opening claw. The dispersing roller is perpendicular to the forward direction of the conveyor belt, and the pressure roller is parallel to the forward direction of the conveyor belt.

[0015] All of the hydraulic rods mentioned above are equipped with pressure sensors. The height is automatically controlled based on the pressure between the bag-opening claw, the dispersing roller, and the pressure roller and the contacting object. The pressure sensor and the corresponding pressure control system are common structures in the prior art, and the principle and related control will not be elaborated here.

[0016] After the bag-opening claws break open the garbage bags, the drive motor controls the conveyor belt to move a certain distance into the processing roller range. The dispersing rollers press down and rotate slowly during the pressing process to flatten the stacked garbage. The flattened garbage is then pressed by the pressure rollers under a preset pressure.

[0017] Preferably, the dispersing roller is driven and controlled by an associated motor. Both the dispersing roller and the pressure roller are provided with a positioning rod on their inner sides. One end of the positioning rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dispersing roller. A limit strip is fixedly provided on the inner side of the dispersing roller. The positioning rod passes through the limit strip and is slidably connected to it.

[0018] The dispersing roller is configured as an elliptical structure with one side parallel to the upper surface of the conveyor belt. The dispersing roller, similar to a track structure, can rotate around the elliptical structure. The dispersing roller, similar to a track structure, is connected to one end of the advancing pressure rod to achieve the purpose of spreading the garbage by rotating during the pressing process. In addition, the other end of the advancing pressure rod inside the dispersing roller is configured as a movable structure. The advancing pressure rod is limited and guided by a limiting strip fixedly set on the inner wall of the dispersing roller, similar to a track structure. The limiting strip rotates together with the track structure. When the advancing pressure rod encounters garbage of different hardness, the rotation of the movable end can prevent damage.

[0019] Preferably, an advancing block is slidably provided on the inner side of the limiting strip corresponding to the advancing pressure rod. A first spring is fixedly connected to the side of the advancing block near the advancing pressure rod. A limiting pin is inserted into the side of the advancing block. The sliding of the advancing block on the inner side of the limiting strip controls the magnitude of the elastic force of the first spring on the advancing pressure rod. After pulling out the limiting pin on the side of the advancing block, the advancing block is slid. After the required elastic force of the first spring on the side of the advancing pressure rod is achieved, the limiting pin is inserted to position the advancing block. The operation is simple and convenient and the contact pressure of the advancing pressure rod can be adaptively adjusted.

[0020] Preferably, mounting plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the pressure roller, the inner wall of the mounting plate is provided with an advance groove adapted to the advance pressure rod, a limiting plate is also fixedly provided on the inner side of the mounting plate, a limiting block corresponding to the limiting plate is fixedly connected to the side of the advance pressure rod, and the side of the pressure roller is also provided with an abutting structure between the advance block and the first spring.

[0021] The mounting plate functions similarly to the aforementioned limiting strip, but the mounting plate is directly fixed in place. During the pressing process of the pressure roller, it works in conjunction with the limiting block on the side of the advance pressure rod to prevent the advance pressure rod from advancing too much on one side and causing it to leave the advance groove range. At the same time, it causes greater damage to the spring on one side, which will result in a large error after long-term use.

[0022] When the advance lever contacts the object, an extrusion force is generated between them. This extrusion force acts on the first spring, causing the advance lever to move inward while transmitting the extrusion force to the hydraulic rod. The advance of the hydraulic rod is controlled by a pressure sensor installed inside the hydraulic rod. A contact block is provided at the contact end between the first spring and the advance lever. The contact block can prevent damage to the first spring when the advance lever moves to one side. The contact block slides against the side of the advance lever.

[0023] Preferably, the sorting lever is located on the side of the processing roller away from the bag-opening claw. The sorting lever includes a three-section connecting rod, a second spring, and a winch arm. The three-section connecting rod is hinged to the side of the hydraulic rod connected to the pressure roller. The side of the tail end of the three-section connecting rod is provided with a second spring, and the side of the movable end of the three-section connecting rod is provided with a winch arm.

[0024] The sorting lever is provided on the side of each pressure roller, so that the sorting lever and the pressure roller move together with the hydraulic rod, which facilitates the differentiation of waste processed by different pressure rollers, and the height movement range is set according to the pressure of the waste processed by the pressure roller. After the pressure roller presses the waste below, different types of waste react differently to the pressure.

[0025] For example, food waste is relatively soft and will not return to its original shape after being pressed by the rollers. Most bottles in the recyclables are more resistant to pressure. After being pressed by the rollers, the recyclables are pushed to a specific area on the conveyor belt by the sorting lever, while the remaining food waste is in another area. This completes the first-level sorting and awaits the next detailed sorting, or it can be directly pushed into a specific trash can for processing.

[0026] The classification lever of the three-section linkage structure allows for convenient adjustment of the processing height and range according to the pressing effect of the pressure roller. The working force of the three-section linkage is set by the second spring. The second spring relies on the middle section of the three-section linkage to press against the working end. The working end contacts the obstacle and applies a pushing force to the obstacle. For some special classification applications that require consideration of the mass of the obstacle, and to distinguish between items of different masses, different settings of the second spring can be achieved.

[0027] Furthermore, a hinge arm is provided at the movable end of the three-section connecting rod. After adjusting the height of the three-section connecting rod, the hinge arm is used to reinforce it to prevent deformation of the three-section connecting rod caused by obstacles or the force exerted by the second spring.

[0028] Preferably, a tensioning bolt is provided through one end of the three-section connecting rod, the three-section connecting rod is hinged to the hydraulic rod through the tensioning bolt, a protective plate is provided between the middle section and the tail end of the three-section connecting rod, and the second spring is provided inside the protective plate.

[0029] The three-section connecting rod with the adjusting bolt facilitates the adjustment of the tightness. The protective plate consists of two parts: one part is fixed to the side of the connection end between the second and third sections of the three-section connecting rod, and the other part is fixed to the end of the third section. The two parts cooperate to form a relatively closed structure that facilitates folding. This allows for the installation of the second spring inside and restricts the second spring, preventing it from folding due to rotation and adjustment, and maintaining a pressing effect on the movable end of the three-section connecting rod.

[0030] Preferably, a tensioning slider is fixedly connected to the end of the second spring away from the tail end of the three-section connecting rod. The tensioning slider passes through the protective plate and is slidably connected to it. A limit plate is hinged to the side of the tensioning slider. The adjustment of the tensioning slider on the protective plate changes the clamping force of the second spring on the movable end of the three-section connecting rod. The three-section connecting rod contacts and pushes the obstacle through the movable end. Different clamping forces are adjusted when using items of different masses. When the mass of the obstacle exceeds the clamping force range, the movable end of the three-section connecting rod deflects, and the obstacle remains in place, while objects with mass within the clamping force range are pushed and moved to the designated area.

[0031] Preferably, one end of the winch arm is hinged to the first end of the three-section connecting rod via an adjusting bolt, and the other end of the winch arm is also provided with an adjusting bolt. The adjusting bolt is threaded to a locking slider at one end of the winch arm. The locking slider is slidably connected to the side of the end of the three-section connecting rod. When it is necessary to adjust the setting of the three-section connecting rod, the adjusting bolt is loosened, thereby reducing the friction between the locking slider and the side wall of the three-section connecting rod. The locking slider is slid accordingly to adjust the setting of the winch arm. After the winch arm is set, the adjusting bolt is tightened, thus completing the positioning of the winch arm with respect to the three-section connecting rod.

[0032] An automated waste sorting station equipped with the aforementioned automated sorting equipment allows residents to press the start switch on the sorting and disposal window, simultaneously activating the drive program of the associated motor. After the waste is placed onto the conveyor belt, the window closes, and the bag-opening claw at the beginning of the conveyor belt is activated to open the waste bag. After the waste bag is opened, the conveyor belt moves a certain distance, and then the processing roller is activated. The bagged waste is spread out by the dispersing roller. After spreading, the waste on the conveyor belt is pressed down gradually from light to heavy by the pressure roller. Different types of waste react differently to the pressure intensity at each stage. After each stage of pressing, the waste with different reactions is pushed to different areas on the conveyor belt by sorting levers with different elasticity and height settings for the next more precise sorting, or the stage of sorting is completed, and the corresponding waste is directly pushed out of the conveyor belt range and into the corresponding waste bin.

[0033] This invention discloses an automated waste sorting station, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0034] 1. This automated waste sorting station opens the sorting and disposal window via an electronic control button, simultaneously activating the associated motor. The disposed waste falls onto the conveyor belt, and the associated motor drives the bag-opening claw to move downwards. Upon contact with the waste bag, the claw slides to both sides to break open the bag. Then, a dispersing roller flattens the stacked waste. After flattening, a pressure roller moves downwards, applying staged pressure to the waste spread on the conveyor belt. Different types of waste react differently to the pressing step. Finally, a sorting lever located behind the pressure roller distinguishes waste in different states, pushing waste with specified characteristics to a specific location to complete the staged sorting.

[0035] 2. In this automated waste sorting station, the conveyor belt advances sequentially under the drive of an associated motor. First, a bag-opening claw is set up to open the waste bags, avoiding the restriction of the waste bags that would limit the subsequent sorting structure. The hydraulic rod used to control the advance distance between the bag-opening claw and the processing roller is equipped with a pressure sensor. The advance distance is flexibly moved by the pressure sensor to ensure that the bag-opening claw presses firmly against the waste bag and that the processing roller presses against the waste in different processing stages to apply the corresponding pressure. This realizes the feedback of different forces on different types of waste and avoids the damage to the equipment caused by the constant advance distance of the hydraulic rod when dealing with different sizes and types of waste.

[0036] 3. This automated waste sorting station features a dispersing roller and a pressure roller structure in its processing rollers. The dispersing roller spreads the waste that has been broken from the garbage bags but is still piled up laterally. The dispersing roller is equipped with hydraulic rods, and during the pressing process, the internal advancing pressure rods circulate. The advancing pressure rods contact the objects below and exert a squeezing effect on them, spreading the piled objects to both sides, making it easier for the subsequent pressure rollers to press and sort the objects. The hydraulic rods are equipped with pressure sensors that automatically adjust the advancing pressure to prevent damage to the advancing pressure rods.

[0037] 4. In this automated waste sorting station, an advancing pressure rod is slidably installed on the inner side of the pressure roller via a first spring. The advancing pressure rod squeezes the side wall of the object, and at the same time, the pressure is fed back to the hydraulic rod through the first spring. The pressure sensor installed in the hydraulic rod controls the pressure applied by the pressure roller to the object, so as to apply a certain amount of pressing force to the sorted object in stages, which facilitates the subsequent sorting of different wastes based on the deformation feedback of the pressure.

[0038] 5. In this automated waste sorting station, the sorting lever and pressure roller are located on the same side of the hydraulic rod, facilitating adjustment of the sorting height based on the pressure of the roller. The sorting lever, with its three-section linkage structure, allows for easy height adjustment by folding. A second spring is installed to hold the three-section linkage structure in place, allowing for different levels of pressure from the second spring to sort waste of varying weights. Furthermore, a hinge arm is installed on the side of the three-section linkage to enhance its structural integrity and prevent deformation caused by thrust, thus affecting its usability. Additionally, a protective plate is installed to protect the second spring, preventing excessive folding angle of the three-section linkage from affecting the spring's elasticity.

[0051] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, 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.

[0052] Example 1.

[0053] This invention discloses an automated waste sorting station, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1-9 As shown, the system includes a motor 1, a conveyor belt 2, a bag-removing claw 3, a processing roller 4, and a sorting lever 5. The conveyor belt 2 driven by the motor 1 is installed below the sorting window of the waste sorting room. The bag-removing claw 3, the processing roller 4, and the sorting lever 5 are arranged sequentially above the conveyor belt 2 from the starting end.

[0054] Conveyor belt 2 is set inside the garbage disposal window. Above conveyor belt 2, starting from the disposal end, bag-removing claw 3, processing roller 4 and sorting lever 5 are installed in sequence via associated motor 1. When the start switch is pressed at the garbage disposal window, the internal control program starts running, the disposal window opens, and the garbage is disposed of onto the conveyor belt 2 set inside the window. The disposal window then closes.

[0055] Under the control of the associated motor 1, the conveyor belt 2 advances a certain distance to ensure that the garbage bag is moved directly under the bag-removing claw 3. The associated motor 1 then runs the next control program, which operates the hydraulic rod 7 equipped with the bag-removing claw 3. The bag-removing claw 3 moves down and presses against the garbage bag. After the pressure sensor senses an appropriate amount of resistance, it feeds back to the associated motor 1 and stops the advance of the hydraulic rod 7. The program for the bag-removing claw 3 to move along the slide rail 8 then begins.

[0056] The bag-removing claws 3 are symmetrically installed on the slide rail 8, and a certain number are installed side by side to ensure that a certain area below is covered at the same time. Under the control of the operating program, the bag-removing claws 3 on both sides move to the sides to tear the garbage bags that are in close contact. After completing this action, the bag-removing claws 3 retract to a height that does not obstruct the operation of the equipment, and continue to the next operation.

[0057] After the garbage bag is torn open, the associated motor 1 drives the conveyor belt 2 to advance in stages, so that the garbage moves to the bottom of the dispersing roller 401. The control program runs the hydraulic rod 7, which is equipped with the dispersing roller 401, to control the dispersing roller 401 to advance downward. During the advance, the advance pressure rod 403 installed on the inner side of the dispersing roller 401 moves outward periodically. After contacting the garbage piled up in the torn garbage bag, the advance pressure rod 403 gradually spreads the piled garbage to both sides. After the movement ends, the dispersing roller 401 retracts.

[0058] The dispersing roller 401 is symmetrically arranged above the conveyor belt 2, spreading the stacked garbage to both sides from the middle. One side of the dispersing roller 401 is parallel to the conveyor belt 2, and the side wall of the dispersing roller 401 is provided with a structure that can move in a cycle, similar to the track structure in the prior art. Under the control of the associated motor 1, it rotates in a cycle along a preset direction.

[0059] One end of the advance pressure rod 403 on the inner side of the dispersing roller 401 is connected to the track, and the other end of the advance pressure rod 403 is guided and limited by the limiting strip 9 which is fixedly connected to the track. When the dispersing roller 401 comes into contact with the object below, the advance pressure rod 403 is squeezed and its movable end advances within the range of the limiting strip 9, thereby avoiding damage to the structure of the advance pressure rod 403.

[0060] An advancing block 10 is slidably arranged on the inner side of the limiting strip 9, and a first spring 11 is installed on the advancing block 10 to press against the advancing pressure rod 403. The advancing feedback of the moving end of the advancing pressure rod 403 is the deformation of the first spring 11. The stacked items are spread out to both sides by the advancing pressure rods 403 which are arranged in multiple groups without damaging the advancing pressure rods 403. The advancing block 10 is used to position itself at a preset position by the limiting pin 12 inserted into its side, thereby adjusting the elastic force of the first spring 11.

[0061] The conveyor belt 2 continues to move in the next stage, so that the flattened garbage is within the range of action of the pressure roller 402. The hydraulic rod 7, on which the pressure roller 402 is installed, is operated, and the pressure roller 402 moves downward. The advancing pressure rod 403, which is slidably installed on the inner side of the pressure roller 402, contacts the flattened garbage and applies a certain amount of pressure to it.

[0062] Different types of waste respond differently to pressure. For example, most kitchen waste will change shape and be difficult to restore under pressure, while glass bottles and plastic products in recyclables can basically resist a certain amount of pressure. Based on the different responses to pressure, the waste is classified in stages by the sorting lever 5 set at the rear end of the pressure roller 402 after the pressure roller 402 is applied.

[0063] The pressure roller 402, in conjunction with the sorting lever 5, has multiple sets of different feedback sorting methods based on the type of waste. The pressure applied by the pressure roller 402 to the items below varies in each stage of sorting. The sorting is differentiated step by step based on the feedback of the sorted items to the pressure. After a specific stage of pressing, the height and movement distance of the sorting lever 5 are set differently to push the characteristic items to a specific area, facilitating the next stage of sorting.

[0064] An infeed groove 14 is provided on the inner wall of the pressure roller 402. The infeed rod 403 is slidably installed on the inner side of the pressure roller 402 through the infeed groove 14. During the downward advance of the pressure roller 402, the infeed rod 403 contacts the item below. The infeed rod 403 is subjected to pressure and advances to the inner side of the pressure roller 402. During the advance process, the first spring 11 is compressed, and the pressure is fed back to the hydraulic rod 7 above through the deformation of the first spring 11. Then, when the pressure reaches the preset value, the advance process of the hydraulic rod 7 is stopped, so as to achieve the purpose of applying a certain amount of pressure to the classified items in this step.

[0065] Because the location of the object is unknown, the deflection of the two ends of the inner feed rod 403 of the pressure roller 402 is also unknown. If the deflection angle of one end of the feed rod 403 is too large, it will break out of the limiting range of the feed groove 14 and cause damage to the equipment. Therefore, a limiting plate 15 is provided inside the pressure roller 402. During the feed process, the feed rod 403 moves along the direction of the limiting plate 15. The difference in feed at both ends of the feed rod 403 causes the feed rod 403 to tilt. At this time, the limiting block 16 set on the side of the feed rod 403 presses against the side wall of the limiting plate 15 to prevent the feed rod 403 from breaking out of the range of the feed groove 14 due to the difference in feed at both ends.

[0066] To meet the needs of the classification lever 5 in different differentiation stages, the classification lever 5 adopts a three-section connecting rod 501 structure, and one end of the three-section connecting rod 501 is installed on the side of the hydraulic rod 7 connected to the pressure roller 402 in the differentiation stage, thereby realizing the adjustment of the working height of the classification lever 5 according to the advance distance of the pressure roller 402.

[0067] The three hinge sections of the three-section connecting rod 501 are all installed using adjusting bolts 17, which facilitates the adjustment of the tightness and folding angle of each hinge section. The last section of the three-section connecting rod 501 contacts and pushes the sorted items. In order to improve the sorting effect of the three-section connecting rod 501, a second spring 502 is installed at the hinge of the three-section connecting rod 501 for pressing. Correspondingly, a tightening slider 19 and a limiting plate 20 are provided to adjust the tightness of the second spring 502. At the same time, a protective plate 18 is also provided on its side to protect the second spring 502 inside the protective plate 18, while avoiding the problem that the elasticity of the bent second spring 502 is affected by the excessive folding angle.

[0068] Furthermore, the side of the three-section connecting rod 501 is also equipped with a hinge arm 503 to reinforce the folding angle. When it is necessary to make adaptive adjustments for staged classification, the adjusting bolt 17 is loosened and the different folding angles of each moving hub are adjusted accordingly. The adjusting bolt 17 of each joint is tightened one by one. However, the function of the adjusting bolt 17 alone is not enough to push the heavy object through the folding mechanism. During the process of pushing the object for classification, the preset shape of the three-section connecting rod 501 may be changed. Therefore, a hinge arm 503 is also provided on the side of the three-section connecting rod 501. The hinge arm 503 forms a stable triangular support structure on the side of the three-section connecting rod 501, which increases the folding stability of the three-section connecting rod 501. Tightening the adjusting bolt 17 on the side of the hinge arm 503 increases the friction between the tight-position slider 21 and the hinge arm 503, thereby achieving the limiting function.

[0069] In this embodiment, the associated motor 1 is controlled in stages by the electrical control equipment. The garbage bags fed onto the conveyor belt 2 move on the conveyor belt 2, and in combination with the blocking structure set above the conveyor belt 2, the garbage bags are concentrated under the bag-opening claw 3 to ensure the bag-opening claw 3 can effectively break the garbage bags. After the breaking is completed, the conveyor belt 2 runs in stages to transport the broken garbage bags to the bottom of the dispersing roller 401 for the dispersed and flattened stacking of garbage, which facilitates the subsequent sorting.

[0070] After the stacked garbage is spread out by the dispersing roller 401, the conveyor belt 2 moves again, and the staged sorting pressure roller 402 moves downward. The advancing pressure rod 403 on the inner side of the pressure roller 402 applies a certain amount of pressure to the garbage spread on the conveyor belt 2. After the staged pressing process, the sorting lever 5 on the side of the pressure roller 402 is used to sort the garbage in this stage. Based on the principle that different types of garbage react differently to the pressing action, the garbage is sorted in stages according to different heights. Then, the garbage processed in each stage is pushed to different sections on the conveyor belt 2 according to different heights to facilitate further sorting.

[0071] The subsequent phased differentiation is the same as the above differentiation method. The difference is that different types of garbage are further differentiated by setting different preset values ​​for the spring force of the first spring 11 and the pressure sensor. The whole process is automatic and accurate, which makes up for the current problem of residents' weak awareness of classification or incorrect disposal at the garbage classification window, which leads to inaccurate classification. It is also beneficial to the recycling of resources.

[0072] Example 2

[0073] This invention discloses an automated sorting device for logistics, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1-9 and attached Figure 10 As shown:

[0074] The structural setup and principle of this embodiment are roughly the same as those in Embodiment 1. The difference lies in the arrangement order of the dispersing roller 401 and the pressure roller 402 in the processing roller 4, as well as the installation position of the sorting lever 5. The conveyor belt 2 is configured as a two-section structure. The pressure roller 402 is located at the front end of the dispersing roller 401 and first applies pressure to the items. Then, the dispersing roller 401 sorts the items. Finally, the sorting lever 5 installed behind the dispersing roller 401 further distinguishes the items.

[0075] The logistics box placed at the beginning of the conveyor belt 2 encounters the pressure roller 402 as the conveyor belt 2 runs. In this embodiment, the pressure roller 402 is fixedly set on the conveyor belt 2 at a fixed height and tilted. As the logistics box enters the pressure roller 402, it gradually comes into contact with the advance pressure rod 403 set on the inner side of the pressure roller 402 and is squeezed. The pressure is released at the turning point of the conveyor belt 2. After being pressed by the pressure roller 402, the upper surface of the logistics box is flattened.

[0076] The logistics box continues to move with the conveyor belt 2. When it encounters the obstruction of the dispersing roller 401, it moves to both sides along the running direction of the dispersing roller 401 under the action of the dispersing roller 401. In this embodiment, the setting height of the dispersing roller 401 is fixed, and the setting height of the dispersing roller 401 gradually increases from the middle to both sides. If the dispersing roller 401 allows the logistics box to pass, the logistics box passes directly through the dispersing roller 401. If it does not allow the logistics box to pass, the logistics box moves along the running direction of the dispersing roller 401 until the dispersing roller 401 allows the logistics box to pass. Only then can the logistics box continue to move forward with the conveyor belt 2, thereby achieving the purpose of separating the logistics boxes into different areas on the conveyor belt 2 according to their size.

[0077] After being separated by height by the dispersing roller 401, the logistics boxes continue to move with the conveyor belt 2. Pressure is applied by the pressure roller 402 to ensure the flatness of the top. Then, the logistics boxes are separated by weight by the sorting lever 5 with a fixed height. When the three-section connecting rod 501 contacts the logistics box, if the logistics box is small, it will be pushed to one side in parallel with the three-section connecting rod 501. If the logistics box exceeds the set range, the logistics box will compress the second spring 502 through the three-section connecting rod 501, causing the end of the three-section connecting rod 501 to fold and pass through. Thus, the logistics box is left in place on the conveyor belt 2, realizing the separation according to the different weights of the logistics boxes.

[0078] In this embodiment, in order to meet the need for different charges based on the size and weight of the logistics boxes in the logistics service, the logistics boxes delivered to the station are placed at the beginning of the conveyor belt 2 in sequence. The logistics boxes move together with the conveyor belt 2. When the logistics boxes encounter the unpacking claws 3 set on the conveyor belt 2, the unpacking claws 3 break open the packaging bags and push the stacked logistics boxes to both sides.

[0079] As the logistics boxes continue to move along the conveyor belt 2, the pressure rollers 402, which are set at a fixed height, ensure that the top of the logistics boxes is flat. As they continue to move, they encounter the dispersing rollers 401, which are set at a certain height, and disperse the logistics boxes into different areas on the conveyor belt 2 according to their different heights. The logistics boxes that have passed through the dispersing rollers 401 are then distinguished by quality by the sorting levers 5, thereby realizing the classification of the logistics boxes according to size and weight.
