Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent garbage sorting, and more specifically, to a delivery device, sorting equipment and a sorting method. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the times, people's awareness of environmental protection has been continuously strengthened, and garbage classification policies have gradually been promoted in major cities. However, traditional garbage classification mainly relies on manual sorting, which is not only inefficient but also long-term work will have certain negative effects on the human body.

[0003] There are also some garbage sorting devices on the market, some of which transport garbage through a single conveyor belt, sort the garbage into corresponding garbage bins after visual recognition, or use mechanical grippers to visually recognize the garbage poured into the device and then sort and clamp the garbage into the corresponding garbage bin. The prior art discloses a garbage disposal device, which mainly includes a mounting bracket, an angle conveyor 1 with a two-way transmission function, an angle conveyor 2, a high-definition camera, a material guide, multiple garbage bins, a lower computer, and a microcomputer. The inclined material guide is rotated so that the outlet of the material guide is aligned with the corresponding garbage bin and the garbage is put in.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned prior art has at least the following problems: there is some wet garbage or sticky garbage, which may stick to the material guide during the falling process and cannot fall into the corresponding garbage bin along the material guide under the action of gravity, or the falling speed is very slow, resulting in errors in classification, reducing the accuracy of garbage classification, and even more seriously, it may even block the material guide, resulting in the garbage being unable to fall. The prior art is insufficient in its processing capacity for wet garbage and sticky garbage. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the insufficient processing capacity of the prior art material guide for wet garbage and sticky garbage, and to provide a feeding device to improve the processing capacity for wet garbage and sticky garbage, improve the classification accuracy, and avoid garbage blockage.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0007] A delivery device is provided, comprising a frame, a first drive assembly and a supporting assembly, wherein the first drive assembly is used to drive the supporting assembly to move to a target area, the supporting assembly comprises a second drive assembly, a supporting plate and a blocking plate, the blocking plate is connected to the output end of the first drive assembly, the second drive assembly is connected to the blocking plate, the supporting plate is connected to the output end of the second drive assembly, the blocking plate is located above the supporting plate, and the blocking plate is located above a target delivery area.

[0008] The first driving assembly will then stop the operation of the second driving assembly and start the movement of the supporting plate. Since the blocking plate is fixed at this time and is located above the target delivery area, when the garbage on the supporting plate hits the blocking plate, the garbage on the supporting plate will move relative to the supporting plate under the blocking of the blocking plate until the garbage moves to one end of the supporting plate and falls into the target delivery area. At this time, the garbage delivery is completed, and then the supporting plate and the supporting assembly will be reset to deliver the next garbage. If the garbage on the supporting plate is wet garbage or sticky garbage, such garbage will not adhere to the supporting plate under the blocking force of the blocking plate, so that it can fall into the target garbage bin. Compared with the material guide in the prior art, the material guide has a stronger processing capacity for wet garbage and sticky garbage, improves the accuracy of garbage classification, and can avoid blockage caused by the accumulation of wet garbage and sticky garbage.

[0009] Furthermore, the frame is provided with a fixed shaft, the first driving assembly includes a first driving member installed on the frame, a first gear installed on the output end of the first driving member and a gear plate meshing with the first gear, the second driving assembly includes a second driving member installed on the blocking plate, a second gear installed on the output end of the second driving member and an inner rack fixed on the supporting plate and meshing with the second gear, the blocking plate is fixedly connected to the gear plate, and the gear plate, the blocking plate and the supporting plate are all rotatably connected to the fixed shaft. The garbage falls onto the supporting plate, and then the first driving member drives the first gear to rotate, thereby driving the gear plate meshing with the first gear to rotate. Since the blocking plate is fixedly connected to the gear plate, the second driving member installed on the blocking plate is in a self-locking state at this time, and the second driving member is meshed with the inner rack fixed on the supporting plate. Therefore, the rotation of the gear plate will drive the blocking plate and the supporting plate to rotate together. When the whole body rotates to the target delivery area, the first driving member stops running and is in a self-locking state. The gear plate and the blocking plate are both in a fixed state. Then the second driving member starts to drive the supporting plate to rotate around the fixed axis. The garbage on the supporting plate will be hindered by the blocking plate until it leaves the supporting plate and falls into the target delivery area. Then the second driving member reverses to drive the supporting plate to reset, and then the first driving member starts to drive the whole body to reset. The delivery device adopts a roulette design with a short motion stroke and less time required for reset, thereby increasing the delivery rate.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a limit plate connected to the blocking plate, and the blocking plate and the limit plate are respectively located on both sides of the supporting plate in the circumferential direction. The limit plate can prevent some easy-to-roll garbage from rolling down from one side of the blocking plate when it falls onto the supporting plate, thereby reducing the accuracy of classification.

[0011] The present application also provides a sorting device, including the delivery device, a control module, a plurality of trash cans located in the rack, and a separation device, a feeding conveying device and a camera respectively installed on the rack, wherein a feed port is provided on the top of the rack, the separation device is located below the feed port, the feeding end of the feeding conveying device is located below the discharging end of the separation device, the separation device is used to separate the stacked garbage, the camera is used to identify the type of garbage on the feeding conveying device, and the output end of the feeding conveying device is provided with a first sensing device for sensing the falling of garbage The first sensing member and the second sensing member for sensing the reset of the supporting assembly are respectively electrically connected to the camera, the first sensing member, the second sensing member, the feeding and conveying device, the first driving assembly and the second driving assembly. The trash can is arranged below the supporting plate. When the supporting assembly moves to the target trash can, the projection of the blocking plate on the horizontal plane overlaps with the projection of the feeding port of the target trash can on the horizontal plane in part, and the projection of the supporting plate on the horizontal plane overlaps with the projection of the feeding port of the target trash can on the horizontal plane in part. The unclassified garbage is put into the separation device through the feeding port. After passing through the separation device, the overlapping garbage will be separated and fall into the feeding and conveying device one by one. The camera will capture the image of the garbage on the feeding and conveying device and transmit the image information to the control module. The control module identifies the type of garbage through image comparison. Then the garbage leaves the feeding and conveying device and falls into the delivery device. The delivery device will transfer the garbage to the corresponding trash can according to the signal sent by the control module, thereby completing the garbage sorting.

[0012] Furthermore, when the supporting assembly moves to the target trash can, the blocking plate is located at the side of the feed opening of the trash can. Compared with the blocking plate being located in the middle of the feed opening of the trash can, the blocking plate is located at the side of the trash can, so that the opening for the trash to fall in is larger, thereby preventing large trash from falling into the trash can or falling out of the trash can.

[0013] Furthermore, the separation device includes a first conveying mechanism, a second conveying mechanism and a diverter mechanism respectively installed on the frame, a V-shaped cavity is formed between the conveying surface of the first conveying mechanism and the conveying surface of the second conveying mechanism, the diverter mechanism is located between the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism, and the diverter mechanism is provided with at least two protrusions, and a diverter port is formed between two adjacent protrusions. If two overlapping garbage pieces fall into the same side of the diversion mechanism at the same time, the overlapping garbage pieces will move forward driven by one of the conveying mechanisms until the overlapping garbage passes through the diversion port, and the overlapping garbage will enter the diversion port. At this time, one side of each garbage piece is in contact with one of the conveying mechanisms, and the other side is in contact with the overlapping garbage. One side of the two garbage pieces is respectively subjected to the friction of the two conveying mechanisms, and the contact point of the two garbage pieces is close to the protrusion. Under the obstruction and guidance of the protrusion, the protrusion will provide a blocking force to the garbage. Since the other side of the garbage is driven forward by the conveying mechanism, this will force the position of the garbage to change toward one side of the conveying mechanism, so that the two overlapping garbage pieces will be separated and separated to the two sides of the diversion mechanism, and each garbage piece will lean on the conveying mechanism on one side, thereby completing the separation of the garbage. Even if the overlapping garbage leans on the conveying mechanism on the same side, it can be separated by the diversion mechanism, thereby improving the success rate of garbage separation and ensuring the accuracy of subsequent image detection.

[0014] Furthermore, the protrusion is a triangular prism with any one edge facing the top surface of the frame, and the end of the protrusion away from the discharge end of the separation device is provided with a chamfered portion. The provision of the chamfered portion changes the contact angle between the garbage and the protrusion, reducing the possibility of garbage being stuck in the diversion port.

[0015] Furthermore, the conveying directions of the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism are parallel to the horizontal plane, the conveying direction of the feed conveying mechanism is parallel to the horizontal plane and perpendicular to the first conveying mechanism, the conveying speed of the first conveying mechanism is different from the conveying speed of the second conveying mechanism, and side panels are provided on both sides of the feed conveying device. When the garbage leaves the separation device, it will fall onto the feed conveying device below, and the feed conveying device will drive the garbage to move horizontally. In this process, the image is captured and recognized by the camera. The whole conveying process is smooth. The stacked garbage will move at different speeds after being separated by the separation device. The time when it leaves the separation device and falls into the feed conveying device is also different, and the position where the garbage falls on the feed conveying device is also different, which improves the accuracy of detection. Since the garbage will do horizontal throwing motion on the way from the separation device to the feed conveying device, the setting of the side panels can block the garbage and prevent the garbage from leaving the feed conveying device due to too fast speed.

[0016] Furthermore, a compression device is included, a compression groove is opened on the side of the trash can, and the compression device includes a third driving member fixed to the frame and a compression plate connected to the output end of the third driving member, and the compression plate is slidably connected to the compression groove. The third driving member drives the compression plate to slide in the compression groove to compress the garbage in the trash can and increase the storage capacity of the trash can.

[0017] The present application also provides a sorting method, which is applied to the sorting device, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0018] Step 1: The separation device receives the garbage thrown in from the feed port;

[0019] Step 2: The separation device separates the garbage and transports it to the feeding conveyor;

[0020] Step 3: The camera captures the image of the garbage on the feeding conveyor and transmits the image information to the control module. After receiving the image information, the control module identifies the type of garbage through image comparison;

[0021] Step 4: The garbage detected by the first sensor falls off the feeding and conveying device and sends a signal to the control module, and the control module controls the feeding and conveying device to stop operating;

[0022] Step 5: After the control module receives the signal from the first sensor and reaches a preset time, it controls the first driving component to start, and the first driving component drives the supporting component to rotate along the first direction α, so that the supporting component moves to the top of the target trash can;

[0023] Step 6: The control module controls the first driving component to stop operating and controls the second driving component to start, and the second driving component drives the supporting plate to rotate in a second direction β opposite to the first direction so that the garbage falls into the garbage bin;

[0024] Step 7: The control module controls the first driving assembly and the second driving assembly to start simultaneously, driving the supporting plate to rotate β in the first direction to reset the supporting plate; driving the supporting assembly to rotate (360-α)° in the first direction or α in the second direction to reset the supporting assembly;

[0025] Step 8: After the second sensor detects that the supporting assembly is reset, it sends a signal to the control module, and the control module controls the feeding and conveying device to start.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] 1. The delivery device utilizes the rotation of the support plate, and the garbage falls into the corresponding garbage bin under the action of the blocking plate, preventing wet garbage or sticky garbage from sticking to the support plate. It has a stronger processing capacity for wet garbage and sticky garbage, improves the accuracy of garbage classification, and can avoid blockage caused by the accumulation of wet garbage and sticky garbage;

[0028] 2. The delivery device adopts a roulette design, with a short movement stroke, less time required for resetting, and increased delivery rate;

[0029] 3. The setting of the diversion mechanism. Even if the overlapping garbage leans on the conveying mechanism on the same side, the overlapping garbage will enter the diversion port. Under the blocking and guidance of the raised part, the two overlapping garbage will be separated and placed on both sides of the diversion mechanism, which improves the success rate of garbage separation and ensures the accuracy of subsequent image detection.

[0030] 4. The setting of the compression device can compress the garbage that needs to be compressed and increase the storage capacity of the garbage bin. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] A delivery device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it includes a frame 100, a first driving assembly 200 and a supporting assembly 300, the frame 100 is provided with a fixed shaft 110, the supporting assembly 300 includes a second driving assembly 310, a supporting plate 320, a blocking plate 330 and a limiting plate 340, the supporting plate 320 is an arc plate with a circumferential angle of 120°, the limiting plate 340 is connected to one end of the blocking plate 330, the blocking plate 330 and the limiting plate 340 are respectively located on both sides of the supporting plate 320 in the circumferential direction, and the angle between the blocking plate 330 and the limiting plate 340 is 120°, the first driving assembly 200 includes a first driving member 210 installed on the frame 100, a first gear 220 installed at the output end of the first driving member 210 and a gear plate 230 meshing with the first gear 220, the second driving assembly 310 includes It includes a second driving member 311 installed on the blocking plate 330, a second gear 312 installed on the output end of the second driving member 311 and an inner rack 313 fixed on the supporting plate 320 and meshing with the second gear 312. In this embodiment, the first driving member 210 and the second driving member 311 are both motors, a plug post 331 is provided at the bottom of the blocking plate 330, a slot 231 is provided at the top of the gear plate 230, and the plug post 331 is inserted into the slot 231. In addition, the gear plate 230 and the blocking plate 330 can also be fixedly connected by threaded connection, snap connection or other fixed connection methods. The gear plate 230, the blocking plate 330 and the supporting plate 320 are all rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 110, the blocking plate 330 is located above the supporting plate 320, and the blocking plate 330 is located above the target delivery area.

[0043] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0044] In a delivery device of the present invention, garbage falls onto the supporting plate 320, and then the first driving member 210 drives the first gear 220 to rotate, thereby driving the gear plate 230 meshing with the first gear 220 to rotate. Since the blocking plate 330 is fixedly connected to the gear plate 230, the second driving member 311 installed on the blocking plate 330 is in a self-locking state at this time, and the second driving member 311 is meshed with the inner rack 313 fixed on the supporting plate. Therefore, the rotation of the gear plate 230 will drive the blocking plate 330 and the supporting plate 320 to rotate together. When the whole body rotates to the target delivery area, the first driving member 210 stops running and is in a self-locking state. The gear plate 230 and the blocking plate 330 are both in a fixed state. Then the second driving member 311 is started to drive the supporting plate 320 to rotate around the fixed axis 110. When the garbage on the supporting plate 320 hits the blocking plate 330, the garbage on the supporting plate 320 will be blocked by the blocking plate 330 relative to The supporting plate 320 moves until the garbage moves to one end of the supporting plate 320 and falls into the target delivery area. At this time, the garbage delivery is completed, and then the supporting plate 320 and the supporting assembly 300 will reset to deliver the next garbage. If the garbage on the supporting plate 320 is wet garbage or sticky garbage, under the blocking force of the blocking plate 330, such garbage will not adhere to the supporting plate 320, ensuring that it can fall into the target garbage can 800. Compared with the material guide in the prior art, it has a stronger processing capacity for wet garbage and sticky garbage, improves the accuracy of garbage classification, and can avoid blockage caused by the accumulation of wet garbage and sticky garbage. The delivery device adopts a roulette design with a short movement stroke and less time required for resetting, which improves the delivery rate. The limiting plate 340 can prevent some easy-to-roll garbage from rolling down from one side of the blocking plate 330 when it falls onto the supporting plate 320, thereby reducing the accuracy of classification.

[0045] Herein, another implementation of the delivery device is provided. In this implementation, the first driving member 210 is a cylinder. The first driving member 210 drives the supporting plate 320 to move in a straight line direction. The second driving member 311 is installed on the supporting plate 320, and its output end is connected to the blocking plate 330. During the transportation of garbage, the first driving member 210 can drive the supporting plate 320 and the blocking plate 330 to reach the top of the target delivery area, and then the second driving member 311 is started to push the garbage into the delivery area. However, compared with the above embodiment, the driving directions of the first driving member 210 and the second driving member 311 are both in a straight line, the stroke is longer, and it takes longer to reset, and the delivery speed is slower.

[0046] Embodiment 2

[0047] A sorting device, such as Figure 1-3As shown, it includes the delivery device in the first embodiment, a control module, four rectangular trash cans 800 located in the frame 100, and a separation device 400, a feeding and conveying device 500 and a camera 600 respectively installed on the frame 100. A rectangular feed port 120 is provided on the top of the frame 100, the separation device 400 is located below the feed port 120, and the feeding end of the feeding and conveying device 500 is located below the discharging end of the separation device 400. The four trash cans 800 are respectively a kitchen waste can 800, a hazardous waste can 800, a recyclable waste can 800 and other waste cans 800. The four trash cans 800 are arranged along the circumference of the fixed axis 110. The separation device 400 is a conveying mechanism provided with a vibration motor. The output end of the feeding and conveying device 500 is provided with a vibration motor. A first sensing element for sensing the falling of garbage and a second sensing element for sensing the resetting of the supporting assembly 300 are provided. In this embodiment, the first sensing element and the second sensing element are both photoelectric sensors, and may also be infrared sensors, etc. The control module is electrically connected to the camera 600, the first sensing element, the second sensing element, the feeding and conveying device 500, the first driving assembly 200 and the second driving assembly 310 respectively. The garbage can 800 is arranged below the supporting plate 320. When the supporting assembly 300 moves to the target garbage can 800, the blocking plate 330 is located at the side of the feed port 120 of the garbage can 800, and the projection of the supporting plate 320 on the horizontal plane at least partially overlaps with the projection of the feed port 120 of the target garbage can 800 on the horizontal plane.

[0048] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0049] Unclassified garbage is delivered to the separation device 400 through the feed port 120. The overlapping garbage is separated by the vibration of the vibration motor on the separation device 400 and falls into the feeding and conveying device 500 one by one. The camera 600 will capture the image of the garbage on the feeding and conveying device 500 and transmit the image information to the control module. The control module identifies the type of garbage through image comparison. Then the garbage leaves the feeding and conveying device 500 and falls into the delivery device. The delivery device will transfer the garbage to the corresponding garbage bin 800 according to the signal sent by the control module, thereby completing the garbage sorting.

[0050] The rest of the working principles of this embodiment are consistent with those of the first embodiment.

[0051] Embodiment 3

[0052] This embodiment is a second embodiment of a sorting device. This embodiment is similar to the second embodiment, except that: Figure 5As shown, the separation device 400 includes a first conveying mechanism 410, a second conveying mechanism 420 and a diverting mechanism 430 respectively mounted on the frame 100, a V-shaped cavity is formed between the conveying surface of the first conveying mechanism 410 and the conveying surface of the second conveying mechanism 420, an angle between the conveying surface of the first conveying mechanism 410 and the conveying surface of the second conveying mechanism 420 is 135°, the diverting mechanism 430 is located between the first conveying mechanism 410 and the second conveying mechanism 420, and the diverting mechanism 430 is provided with three protrusions 431, two adjacent protrusions 431 A diversion port 432 is formed therebetween, the raised portion 431 is a triangular prism with any one of its edges facing the top surface of the frame 100, a chamfered portion 433 is provided at one end of the raised portion 431 away from the discharge end of the separation device 400, the conveying directions of the first conveying mechanism 410 and the second conveying mechanism 420 are both parallel to the horizontal plane, the conveying direction of the feed conveying mechanism is parallel to the horizontal plane and perpendicular to the first conveying mechanism 410, the conveying speed of the first conveying mechanism 410 is different from that of the second conveying mechanism 420, and side panels 510 are provided on both sides of the feed conveying device 500.

[0053] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0054] If two overlapping garbage pieces fall into the same side of the diversion mechanism 430 at the same time, the overlapping garbage pieces will move forward under the drive of one of the conveying mechanisms until the overlapping garbage pieces pass through the diversion port 432, at which point the overlapping garbage pieces will enter the diversion port 432. At this time, one side of each garbage piece will contact one of the conveying mechanisms, and the other side will contact the overlapping garbage piece. One side of each garbage piece will be subjected to the friction force of the two conveying mechanisms respectively, and the contact point of the two garbage pieces is close to the protrusion 431. Under the obstruction and guidance of the protrusion 431, the protrusion 431 will provide a blocking force to the garbage pieces. The other side of the garbage is driven forward by the conveying mechanism, which will force the position of the garbage to change towards the conveying mechanism on one side, so that the two overlapping garbage will be separated and placed on both sides of the diversion mechanism 430, and each garbage will lean on the conveying mechanism on one side, thereby completing the separation of the garbage. Even if the overlapping garbage leans on the conveying mechanism on the same side, the diversion mechanism 430 can be used to separate them, thereby improving the success rate of garbage separation and ensuring the accuracy of subsequent image detection. The setting of the beveled portion 433 changes the angle of the contact surface between the garbage and the protruding portion 431, thereby reducing the possibility of the garbage being stuck in the diversion port 432.

[0055] The rest of the working principles of this embodiment are consistent with those of the second embodiment.

[0056] Embodiment 4

[0057] This embodiment is a fourth embodiment of a sorting device. This embodiment is similar to the third embodiment, except that: Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the compression device 700 is also included. A rectangular compression groove is provided on the side of the recyclable trash can 800. The compression device 700 includes a third driving member 710 fixed to the frame 100 and a compression plate 720 connected to the output end of the third driving member 710. The third driving member 710 is a linear motor, and the compression plate 720 is slidably connected to the compression groove. A cover plate is provided outside the frame 100, and the cover plate and the frame 100 are fixed by magnets. The third driving member 710 drives the compression plate 720 to slide in the compression groove to compress the garbage in the recyclable trash can 800. Since the recyclable garbage includes cans, plastic bottles, etc., such garbage takes up more space and is easy to be compressed. Therefore, the setting of the compression device 700 can increase the storage capacity of the trash can 800, and the frame 100 is covered by the cover plate to reduce the emission of odor.

[0058] The rest of the working principles of this embodiment are consistent with those of the third embodiment.

[0059] Embodiment 5

[0060] A sorting method, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a sorting device applied to any one of the second to fourth embodiments comprises the following steps:

[0061] Step 1: The separation device 400 receives the garbage input from the feed port 120;

[0062] Step 2: The separation device 400 separates the garbage and transports it to the feeding and conveying device 500;

[0063] Step 3: The camera 600 captures the image of the garbage on the feeding and conveying device 500 and transmits the image information to the control module. After receiving the image information, the control module identifies the type of garbage through image comparison. The state of the garbage on the feeding and conveying device 500 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown in A;

[0064] Step 4: The first sensor detects that the garbage falls off the feeding and conveying device 500 and sends a signal to the control module, and the control module controls the feeding and conveying device 500 to stop operating. In this embodiment, the initial position of the supporting assembly 300 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown in B, the circumferential angle of the supporting plate 320 is 120°, and the included angle between the projection of the blocking plate 330 and the output end of the feeding and conveying device 500 on the horizontal plane is 30°;

[0065] Step 5: The control module receives the signal from the first sensor and controls the first driving assembly 200 to start after the preset time has elapsed. In this embodiment, the preset time is 2 seconds, which can ensure that the garbage is stable on the supporting plate 320. Figure 4As shown in C, the first driving component 200 drives the supporting component 300 to rotate counterclockwise by α, so that the supporting component 300 moves to above the target trash can 800. In this embodiment, α is 150°. In addition, depending on the type of trash transported, α can also be 60°, 240°, or 330°. Different α corresponds to different types of trash cans 800 or types of trash. After the camera 600 recognizes the type of trash, the first driving component 200 drives the supporting component 300 to rotate counterclockwise by the corresponding α.

[0066] Step 6: The control module controls the first driving component 200 to stop operating and controls the second driving component 310 to start. Figure 4 As shown in D, the second driving assembly 310 drives the supporting plate 320 to rotate clockwise β to make the garbage fall into the garbage bin 800. In this embodiment, β is 120°, which is equal to the size of the circumferential angle of the supporting plate 320.

[0067] Step 7: The control module controls the first drive assembly 200 and the second drive assembly 310 to start simultaneously. Figure 4 As shown in E, the second driving assembly 310 is reversed, driving the supporting plate 320 to rotate β in the counterclockwise direction, so that the supporting plate 320 is reset, β is 120°, and the supporting assembly 300 is rotated (360-α)° in the counterclockwise direction, so that the supporting assembly 300 is reset. In this embodiment, (360-α)° is 210°. In addition, the supporting assembly 300 can also rotate α in the clockwise direction when resetting, α is 150°, and the state of the supporting assembly 300 after the reset is completed is as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown in F;

[0068] Step 8: After the second sensor detects that the supporting assembly 300 is reset, it sends a signal to the control module, and the control module controls the feeding and conveying device 500 to start and continue to put in the next garbage.

[0069] In addition, the number of preset angles of α and β can be adaptively changed according to the number of trash cans 800 , and the sizes of α and β can be changed according to the placement positions of different trash cans 800 .
