Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical fields of resource recycling and Internet applications, and particularly to an intelligent used clothing recycling bin based on the mobile Internet. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, clothing consumption shows a trend of rapid renewal, resulting in a large number of used clothes being闲置 and废弃. At present, the following several used clothing recycling methods mainly exist in the market: placing an order through an online mini-program and the express delivery coming to pick up: users place an order through a mobile phone App or mini-program and wait for the express delivery staff to come to pick up the items. Although this method is convenient, there are limitations such as having to fill in address information, making an appointment time, and waiting for the express delivery to come, and it cannot achieve 24-hour recycling at any time. The user experience is restricted by time and location; traditional non-intelligent free recycling bins: for such recycling bins, users cannot obtain any economic return after putting clothes into them. Such recycling bins can only receive clothes and cannot interact with users. After users put them in, they cannot track the whereabouts and value of the clothes, lacking an effective incentive mechanism, resulting in low user participation enthusiasm; offline manual recycling points or mobile acquisitions: used clothes are recycled through fixed recycling points or mobile acquisition personnel, which are restricted by both time and location, have a limited coverage range, and the recycling price transparency is not high.

[0003] Existing intelligent weighing recycling bins: Some intelligent recycling bins using real-time weighing and automatic quality inspection technologies have emerged in the market, attempting to complete clothing evaluation and return calculation immediately when users put them in. However, such solutions have the following serious defects: the equipment structure is complex, integrating precision weighing and material identification equipment, resulting in extremely high manufacturing and maintenance costs; the automatic detection accuracy is limited, making it difficult to accurately evaluate the actual value and material of clothes; it is extremely vulnerable to malicious operations. Users can defraud returns by putting in non-clothes or low-quality clothes ("wool-shearing" behavior); the system failure rate is high, and the weighing and detection components are easy to damage, affecting the user experience and recycling efficiency; due to cost and operation and maintenance problems, although such recycling bins already exist, the actual delivery volume is extremely small, and it is difficult to form a scale effect. Summary of the Invention

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0041] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the working method of the smart old clothes recycling box. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to make the technical solution of the present invention clearer, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] In the first step, the user scans the QR code on the recycling box body through a mobile terminal to start the corresponding mobile platform applet.

[0045] In the second step, the mini program sends an unpacking request to the background management system.

[0046] In the third step, the background management system sends an opening instruction to the recycling box control system.

[0047] In the fourth step, after receiving the box opening instruction, the recycling box control system sends a door opening instruction. The communication module receives the door opening instruction and controls the door opening mechanism to perform the door opening operation to open the box door, and the user puts the old clothes into the recycling box.

[0048] The fifth step is that the user clothing differentiation mechanism is one or more of a physical isolation device, an electronic identification system, an independent coding container, a delivery time recording system, and an automatic layering device, and the clothing delivered by different users is isolated and identified after each user delivers the clothing.

[0049] The physical isolation device includes a partition mechanism with a unique identification. After each user finishes putting in clothes, the partition will automatically fall to separate the clothes of the current user from the clothes of other users, and the partition identification information will be associated with the user account.

[0050] Step 6: When the capacity sensor detects that the amount of clothes in the smart recycling box reaches a predetermined amount, a pickup notification is sent to the background management system through the communication module, and the staff takes out the clothes and transports them to the distribution center while keeping the user identification information of the clothes;

[0051] The seventh step is to weigh and inspect the quality of the clothes at the distribution center, and associate them with the corresponding users based on the user identification information.

[0052] The steps for weighing and quality testing of clothing at the distribution center include:

[0053] (1) The staff classifies and sorts the clothes of different users according to the recorded user identification information;

[0054] (ii) Weigh the clothes of different users using an electronic scale;

[0055] (3) Manual inspection of the material, condition and quality of clothing;

[0056] (IV) Enter the weighing and quality inspection results and the corresponding user identification information into the backend management system

[0057] In the eighth step, the backend management system calculates the recycling fee according to the weight, type, material and quality of the clothes according to the preset price standard and notifies the user.

[0058] In the ninth step, the user obtains rewards by withdrawing money through the mini program, and the rewards are deposited into the user's account in the mini program in the form of electronic currency. The user can withdraw the rewards to the associated payment account through the mini program.

[0059] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
