DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will be further described in detail in combination with the accompanying Figures 1-5 The application is further described in detail.

[0030] Embodiment 1 of the application discloses an optical disc mobile catering garbage intelligent classification machine.

[0031] With reference to Figure 1 , the optical disc mobile catering garbage intelligent classification machine comprises a box 1, a garbage can 2 and an identification device, the top of the box 1 is provided with a recycling platform, the recycling platform is provided with a recycling port 3, the garbage can 2 is placed in the box 1 and below the recycling port 3, the identification device is used for acquiring personal identity information of a garbage recycler and recycling dish information and is in communication connection with a host computer, the recycling dish information at least comprises dish remaining weight and dish remaining type, a multi-station switching mechanism is arranged in the box 1, the multi-station switching mechanism comprises a horizontal electric rotating table 4, a vertical electric rotating table 5 and a turnover barrel 6, a plurality of vertical electric rotating tables 5 are distributed in a circle on the horizontal electric rotating table 4, the vertical electric rotating table 5 is fixedly connected with a horizontal mounting plate 7, the horizontal mounting plate 7 is fixedly installed with the turnover barrel 6 on the upper and lower sides, a weighing module 8 is arranged between the horizontal mounting plate 7 and the turnover barrel 6, the number and position of the recycling port 3, the horizontal mounting plate 7 and the garbage can 2 are one-to-one corresponding, the horizontal electric rotating table 4, the vertical electric rotating table 5 and the weighing device are in electrical connection with the identification device.

[0032] Working principle: The optical disc action catering waste intelligent classification machine is a high-efficiency catering waste recycling and classification system. It realizes intelligent management and recycling of catering waste by integrating key components such as box body 1, garbage can 2, recycling platform, recycling port 3, identification device, multi-station switching mechanism, etc. The recycling platform at the top of the box body 1 is provided with a recycling port 3 for receiving the catering waste thrown by diners. The recycling port 3 can be marked with different recycling type names to guide users to throw.

[0033] The identification device can obtain the personal identity information of the diners and identify the catering waste information, including the remaining weight and type of the dishes. To facilitate operation, the catering tray is composed of a tray and multiple dish plates. The tray can weigh the total weight of the tableware and dishes, and the remaining weight of the dishes can be obtained by calculating the difference between the total weight at the dish window and the recycling place.

[0034] The dish plates are marked with different shapes or patterns to facilitate image recognition by cameras or code scanners, etc., so as to quickly obtain the corresponding dish name and type information. These information is crucial for analyzing the dining habits and waste of diners. The multi-station switching mechanism inside the box body 1 is composed of a horizontal electric rotating table 4, a vertical electric rotating table 5 and a turnover barrel 6, which realizes automatic classification and storage of waste.

[0035] The horizontal electric rotating table 4 is distributed with multiple vertical electric rotating tables 5, each vertical electric rotating table 5 is fixedly connected with a horizontal mounting plate 7, and the upper and lower sides of the horizontal mounting plate 7 are both installed with a turnover barrel 6 for temporarily storing different types or weights of waste.

[0036] Taking two stations as an example, the upper turnover barrel 6 receives the waste falling from the recycling port 3. If the waste type is correctly thrown, the vertical electric rotating table 5 drives the horizontal mounting plate 7 to turn 180 degrees, so that the upper and lower turnover barrels 6 are moved and switched, and the waste is poured into the corresponding garbage can 2 below. If the waste type is incorrectly thrown, the horizontal electric rotating table 4 rotates 180 degrees, so that the left and right turnover barrels 6 are moved and switched, and then the vertical electric rotating table 5 turns 180 degrees, so that the waste is poured into the correctly corresponding garbage can 2.

[0037] In addition, a weighing module 8 is arranged between the horizontal mounting plate 7 and the turnover barrel 6 for real-time monitoring of the weight of the waste thrown into the recycling port 3 of different recycling types, ensuring the correct classification and storage of the waste. The number and position of the recycling port 3, the horizontal mounting plate 7 and the garbage can 2 are one-to-one corresponding, ensuring the accuracy of waste throwing. All the above structures are electrically connected with the identification device, ensuring the coordinated operation of the whole system and the real-time transmission of data.

[0038] The "Clean Plate Campaign" smart waste sorting machine for catering services employs an intelligent design that not only improves waste recycling efficiency but also provides personalized waste analysis and feedback to diners, thereby promoting the rational use and conservation of catering resources. Simultaneously, this solution can correct errors in the waste sorting process, ensuring the accuracy of waste classification and providing strong support for achieving the "Clean Plate Campaign" and environmental protection.

[0039] To improve weighing and waste disposal efficiency, the turnover bin 6 has vertical sliding grooves 9 on both sides. A vertical slider 10 is slidably installed within each groove 9. The slider 10 is fixedly connected to a gripper rod 11, the lower end of which is hinged to a horizontal mounting plate 7. A resilient connecting rod 12 for resetting is hinged between the middle of the gripper rod 11 and the horizontal mounting plate 7. The resilient connecting rod 12 automatically resets the gripper rod to its original state after the gripper action, keeping the vertical slider 10 sliding within the vertical sliding grooves 9. A weighing plate 13 is located in the middle of the horizontal mounting plate 7, and the weighing module 8 is mounted on the load-bearing plate. To further reduce friction, rollers are preferably installed on the inner side of the vertical slider 10.

[0040] Through the above technical solution, the structure of the turnover bin 6 is optimized to improve the accuracy of weighing and the efficiency of waste disposal. Vertical sliding grooves 9 are provided on both the left and right sides of the turnover bin 6, and sliding vertical sliders 10 are installed within the grooves 9, allowing the turnover bin 6 to form a floating connection with the gripper rod 11. This enables the weighing module 8 to accurately measure and record the weight of the waste, providing precise data for the system to analyze diners' food waste.

[0041] When the recycling bin 6 is flipped to the bottom, it can fall freely with the garbage for a certain distance and then use inertia and kinetic energy to shake the garbage out, ensuring that the garbage can be smoothly poured out of the recycling bin 6, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of the entire garbage recycling process. When the recycling bin 6 needs to be replaced, simply open the gripper bars 11 on both sides to separate the vertical slide groove 9 and the vertical slide block 10.

[0042] As attached Figures 3-4 As shown, Example 2:

[0043] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the horizontal mounting plate 7 is provided with a shock-absorbing seat 14, the shock-absorbing seat 14 is provided with a mounting hole in the middle, and a through-type push-pull electromagnet 15 is fixedly installed in the mounting hole. The through-type push-pull electromagnet 15 includes an electromagnetic coil, a return spring and an iron core, and shock-absorbing support feet are provided at the upper and lower ends of the iron core.

[0044] To improve equipment stability and reduce vibration during operation, a shock absorber 14 is specially added to the horizontal mounting plate 7. The shock absorber 14 is designed to absorb and isolate the impacts and vibrations that may occur during waste disposal, thereby protecting the accuracy of the weighing module 8 and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0045] The through type push-pull electromagnet 15 is used to assist the realization of the garbage dumping damping function. The electromagnetic coil is responsible for generating electromagnetic force to drive the movement of the iron core. The reset spring pulls the iron core back to the initial position when the electromagnet is powered off, ensuring that the mechanism can quickly reset. The iron core, as the moving part of the electromagnet, has damping support feet on its upper and lower ends, which not only increases the stability of the electromagnet, but also helps to reduce the impact and vibration when directly contacting.

[0046] The through type push-pull electromagnet 15 can be pre-extended to support the upper turnover barrel 6, and the impact force of the garbage thrown into the turnover barrel 6 is transferred to the damping seat 14. Then the through type push-pull electromagnet 15 is powered off and reset, and the turnover barrel 6 is placed on the weighing module 8 for weighing. After weighing is completed, it is lifted again to avoid the influence of turnover barrel 6 overturning on the measurement accuracy and service life of the weighing module 8.

[0047] In order to reduce the number of weighing modules 8, reduce the use cost and ensure the consistency of measurement, the middle part of the horizontal installation plate 7 has a hollow hole, one side of the hollow hole is provided with a shaft hole, and the shaft hole is provided with a horizontal shaft 16. One end of the horizontal shaft 16 is fixedly connected with the weighing plate 13, and the other end of the horizontal shaft 16 is fixedly connected with the horizontal electric rotating table 4. The weighing plate 13 can serve as a center point, the other end of the horizontal shaft 16 is fixedly connected to the horizontal electric rotating table 4, and the horizontal shaft 16 is kept fixed, so that the vertical overturning does not occur, so that the weighing module 8 can serve two different turnover barrels 6 above and below.

[0048] The movement of the horizontal electric rotating table 4 can drive the horizontal shaft 16 to rotate horizontally, and then the horizontal position of the weighing module 8 and the turnover barrel is kept consistent. The above design not only reduces the number of weighing modules 8 and reduces the cost of the equipment, but also ensures the consistency of the measurement results by sharing one weighing module 8 to weigh the contents of the two turnover barrels 6 above and below.

[0049] In addition, since the weighing module 8 does not need to be installed separately for each turnover barrel 6, the maintenance and calibration work of the equipment is also simplified, and the operation efficiency and reliability of the whole intelligent sorting machine are improved.

[0050] As shown in the accompanying Figure 5 As shown in the accompanying

[0051] The difference from example 1 is that in order to ensure the orderly entry of garbage, the recycling port 3 is provided with a feeding hopper 17, and the bottom of the feeding hopper 17 is provided with a feeding valve. The feeding valve includes a valve plate 18 and a linear drive module 19, and the linear drive module 19 is arranged between the valve plate 18 and the box body 1. The valve plate 18 is a key component for controlling the entry of garbage from the feeding hopper 17 into the box body 1, and the linear drive module 19 can drive the valve plate 18 to move linearly to open or close.

[0052] Some restaurants can free soup, these soup juice mixed with food residue when pouring into the weighing results. When the need to statistics soup weight, the valve plate 18 is provided with a filter recess 20, the filter recess 20 is provided with a filter plate 21, the filter recess 20 is connected with the liquid collecting tank 22 through pipeline, the top of the feeding hopper 17 is provided with a washing pipe 23, the washing pipe 23 is connected with an automatic water spraying system. The filter recess 20 is a special area for separating the liquid and solid parts of the garbage. The filter plate 21 on the filter recess 20 further ensures that only solid garbage enters the box 1, while the liquid is separated and guided to the liquid collecting tank 22. The filter recess 20 is connected with the liquid collecting tank 22 through pipeline, realizing the effective collection and treatment of the liquid part of the garbage.

[0053] In order to keep the recycling port 3 and the feeding hopper 17 clean, the top of the feeding hopper 17 is also provided with a washing pipe 23. The washing pipe 23 is connected to an automatic water spraying system, which can automatically clean the recycling port 3 and the feeding hopper 17 when needed, to maintain the hygiene of the equipment and reduce the generation of odor.

[0054] This design not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of garbage recycling, but also improves the cleanliness of the equipment and the convenience of maintenance through liquid separation and automatic cleaning function. Through these meticulous designs, the CD action dining garbage intelligent classification machine can optimize the service of CD action, promote the environmental protection treatment of dining garbage and the rational utilization of resources.

[0055] In order to solve the pollution problem that the turnover barrel may cause in the box after the garbage can is taken out, the bottom of the box 1 is provided with a water collecting tank 24, the top of the water collecting tank 24 is designed with a grid plate to support the garbage can, the bottom of the water collecting tank 24 is provided with a sewage pump 25, and the sewage pump 25 is connected with the liquid collecting tank 22. The function of the water collecting tank 24 is to collect the liquid that may drip or overflow during the garbage recycling and pouring process, so as to avoid the accumulation of these liquids in the box and cause secondary pollution. The sewage pump 25 is used to discharge the collected liquid from the water collecting tank 24 to the liquid collecting tank 22.

[0056] The liquid collecting tank 22 can be a storage container for temporarily storing these collected liquids for subsequent treatment or discharge. Through the above design, the CD action dining garbage intelligent classification machine not only can effectively handle solid garbage, but also can properly manage liquid garbage, prevent pollution and odor in the box. This garbage treatment scheme helps to maintain the cleanliness of the equipment and the surrounding environment, and also improves the use efficiency of the equipment and the user experience.

[0057] In order to enable automatic cleaning of the turnover barrels, the water collecting tank 24 is provided with a spray head 26 connected to an automatic water spraying system. The spray head 26 is located directly below the turnover barrel 6. When cleaning is required, the automatic water spraying system is started, and the spray head 26 sprays water to flush the inside of the turnover barrel 6. This automatic cleaning method not only saves water resources, but also improves the uniformity and thoroughness of cleaning. The sewage and residual liquid after cleaning will flow down along the inner wall of the turnover barrel 6 and finally collect in the water collecting tank 24.

[0058] In addition, the design of the identification device includes a communication host, a card reader 27, a weighing instrument 28 and an identification camera. The card reader 27, the weighing instrument 28 and the identification camera 30 are electrically connected to the communication host. The identification device integrates multiple functions, which work together through the communication host, the card reader 27, the weighing instrument 28 and the identification camera to realize the identification of the diners, the weighing of the dishes on the plates and the photo recording of the dishes.

[0059] Card reader 27: a device for reading the IC card of the diner, through which the personal identity information of the diner can be obtained. The information read by the card reader 27 is then sent to the communication host for further processing and recording.

[0060] Weighing instrument 28: this device is responsible for measuring the residual weight of the dishes in the recycled plates to assess whether the diner has achieved the action of light plate. The data obtained by the weighing instrument 28 is also transmitted to the communication host.

[0061] Identification camera 30: not only used for face recognition to verify the identity of the diner, but also used for taking photos of the plates and the remaining dishes. These photos can be used for subsequent image recognition and analysis to more accurately assess the type and remaining amount of dishes.

[0062] Communication host: as the processor of the identification device, the communication host is responsible for receiving data from the card reader 27, the weighing instrument 28 and the identification camera, and processing these information. The communication host is also responsible for data communication with the upper computer and uploading the collected data to the central management system for data aggregation, analysis and recording.

[0063] The identification device also includes a voice guidance module 31 and a touch screen 29 connected to the communication host. The voice guidance module 31 is connected to the communication host to realize voice interaction between the device and the user. This module can provide operation instructions, feedback information or answer questions to enhance user experience and make operation more intuitive and convenient.

[0064] Touch screen 29: provides an intuitive interface for users to make various settings and operations, such as viewing weighing results, personal disc credit information, and interacting with the system through the touch screen.

[0065] Through the coordinated work of the above components, the recognition device not only improves the intelligent level of the food waste intelligent classification machine, but also enhances the user interaction experience, making the entire garbage recycling process more efficient, accurate and user-friendly. This design helps to promote the implementation of the disc action, reduce food waste, and also provides a high-tech interactive platform for diners.

[0066] In order to improve the quality of catering services and the profitability of operators through intelligent data analysis, the disc action catering waste intelligent classification machine provided in the present application can be additionally provided with the following functional modules:

[0067] (1) Customer preference analysis function: by collecting the selection frequency of diners for dishes, the remaining amount of dishes, and the feedback information after dining, using data mining technology to analyze the catering preferences of customers, and providing a customer preference report for the restaurant.

[0109] The functions of the evaluation system include the following aspects:

[0110] 1. Visual evaluation and classification guidance:

[0111] The evaluation system uses advanced image recognition technology, integrates a camera module, and uses deep learning algorithms such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) to improve the accuracy of identifying different types of garbage. Not only can it identify dishes and dishes, but it can also determine whether the consumer has correctly classified the garbage into vegetable, fruit, main course and protein categories. The system provides real-time feedback through speakers or displays to guide diners on how to correctly classify, in order to improve the accuracy of garbage classification.

[0112] 2. Classification effect score:

[0113] The evaluation system automatically gives a score based on the accuracy and effectiveness of garbage classification. The score information can be sent to the user's personal smart terminal to encourage or supervise the dining behavior of the diners. This scoring system can set different standards, such as the completeness of classification, cleanliness, etc. The score can be quantitative, such as from 0 to 100 points, or based on specific standards, such as excellent, good, qualified, etc.

[0114] 3. Carbon emission reduction point rewards:

[0115] According to the consumer's classification effect score, the system can give corresponding carbon emission reduction point rewards. This reward mechanism encourages consumers to participate more actively in garbage classification and reduce food waste. Carbon emission reduction points can be used to exchange restaurant coupons, small gifts or other incentives, increasing the enthusiasm of consumers to participate.

[0116] 4. The evaluation system can calculate the contribution of each correct garbage classification to carbon emission reduction:

[0117] This can be achieved by estimating the amount of food waste reduced and the corresponding carbon footprint. The system can showcase individual and collective carbon reduction achievements, raising awareness and engagement of consumers in environmental protection. The system analyzes consumer behavior through machine learning models, continuously optimizing classification guidance and scoring systems.

[0118] 5. Data Recording and Analysis:

[0119] The evaluation system records detailed data for each classification, including the type, weight, time, and score of the classification. These data can be used to analyze consumer behavior patterns, optimize waste classification guidance strategies, and improve overall waste classification effectiveness. The system can integrate a data encryption module to ensure that all collected data complies with data protection regulations and protects the privacy of consumers.

[0120] 6. Education and Promotion:

[0121] The evaluation system can integrate an education module to provide knowledge and skills of waste classification, helping consumers better understand and implement waste classification.
