Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of solid waste resource processing technology, specifically a system and method for automatically loading, intelligently breaking, and spreading waste using an artificial intelligence-controlled biomimetic robotic arm. This system and method, based on an artificial intelligence-controlled biomimetic robotic arm, can be widely used in waste sorting, resource recovery, and waste incineration pretreatment. Background Art
[0002] As the amount of municipal solid waste continues to rise, waste management is gradually shifting from end-of-life incineration and landfill to front-end resource utilization and waste reduction. Large amounts of mixed waste are being sent directly to incineration systems without effective pretreatment, reducing the efficiency of recyclables and increasing processing costs and carbon emissions.
[0003] In the waste resource processing chain, "front-end loading → bag breaking → paving" is the pre-processing link of traditional waste treatment. As a basic operation unit, its processing efficiency, degree of automation, and environmental adaptability directly affect the operation quality of the entire line. However, the current industry widely adopts the combination of "manual feeding + bag breaking machine + chain conveyor belt paving", which has the following significant shortcomings:
[0004] 1. Decentralized processes and low collaborative efficiency
[0005] Traditional systems rely heavily on serial equipment for segmented operations (e.g., manual loading, gear bag breaking, and chain conveyor paving). These devices occupy a large area, require numerous maintenance points, and lack real-time coordination and adjustment. This can easily lead to problems like material accumulation, bag jamming, and bag spillage, creating process bottlenecks. These decentralized processes also present the following challenges:
[0006] 1) Problems with chain conveyors: high energy consumption and high operating costs; easy to clog, garbage bags accumulate on the chain conveyor, affecting processing efficiency; manual paving is required, which is labor-intensive.
[0007] 2) Problems with shear or drum bag breaking machines: The bag breaking method is single, some high-value objects cannot be identified and broken, and some garbage bags cannot be completely broken, that is, they cannot intelligently identify the characteristics of garbage bags, and the bag breaking method is not accurate; they have high requirements for uniform feeding and are prone to accumulation and jamming; they have poor adaptability and the bag breaking effect is uneven for different plastic garbage bags.
[0008] 3) Problems with manually assisted paving: The working environment is harsh, and workers need to work in a smelly and dusty environment; the paving is uneven, affecting the accuracy of subsequent screening and resource recovery; more manual assistance is required for paving; the machine is prone to jamming, seriously affecting production efficiency.
[0009] 4) Material pit problem: Traditional material pits cannot automatically complete automatic loading and require continuous manual intervention to push the garbage onto the chain conveyor. The garbage cannot be stacked to prevent the chain conveyor from getting stuck and affecting the process operation.
[0010] 2. High degree of dependence on manual labor and harsh working environment
[0011] In the wet garbage and mixed domestic waste treatment scenarios, due to the complex material composition and different garbage bag structures, most bag breaking and spreading operations currently require manual assistance, which is labor-intensive, poses great health risks, and is difficult to ensure stability.
[0012] 3. Unable to accurately adapt to the rhythm of the sorting system
[0013] The back-end optical selection, air selection, and intelligent sorting equipment have high requirements for the thickness of the material layer and the uniformity of particle size distribution, while traditional paving systems are difficult to achieve precise control, which often results in an increase in the misselection rate and a decrease in sorting efficiency.
[0014] 4. Low level of intelligence and lack of flexible control capabilities
[0015] Currently, the industry's application of AI in loading and bag-breaking processes is still in its infancy, with no control mechanisms that can continuously learn and adapt to material differences. Rigid grasping strategies and single-path planning can lead to errors and downtime in situations like high-mix or compacted waste.
[0016] To solve the above problems, the market urgently needs a comprehensive equipment with the capabilities of "bionic intelligent grasping + path adaptation + uniform paving control", which can complete automatic loading, precise bag breaking and efficient paving operations in a closed and clean environment, and provide a stable and reliable front-end processing foundation for subsequent resource extraction and intelligent sorting systems.
[0017] Although some existing automated systems for loading, bag breaking and spreading are designed with robotic arms, there is no integrated equipment for loading, bag breaking and spreading. Moreover, they cannot intelligently adapt to the shape of garbage bags, resulting in failure to grab or damage to garbage bags, and they are also unable to identify, grab and remove foreign objects.
[0018] As the cost of waste incineration rises, waste pretreatment systems have become a critical component of intelligent solid waste sorting. Existing systems rely on manual labor or multiple devices in tandem for bag breaking and spreading, resulting in high energy consumption, heavy pollution, and low efficiency. This makes it difficult to meet the industrial needs of resource sorting. New technologies are urgently needed that are efficient, simple, pollution-free, and can revolutionize existing treatment methods while also meeting resource sorting requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0019] The present invention solves the technical problem that the existing garbage loading, bag breaking and paving processes cannot be better automated due to various defects such as scattered processes, low coordination efficiency, high energy consumption, high cost, easy blockage, high degree of manual dependence, harsh working environment, poor bag breaking adaptability, inability to accurately adapt to the rhythm of the sorting system, uneven paving, and machine jamming. It provides a garbage loading, bag breaking and paving system and method based on an artificial intelligence bionic manipulator, which effectively breaks the technical bottleneck of the traditional pretreatment link and provides new equipment support and intelligent paths for the urban solid waste resource industry. It can overcome the above-mentioned defects well and realize the automation of loading, bag breaking and paving without on-site manual intervention. It can complete automated loading, precise bag breaking and efficient paving operations in a closed and clean environment, and provide a stable and reliable front-end processing foundation for subsequent resource extraction and intelligent sorting systems.

[0055] Technical effects of the present invention:
[0056] The method of the present invention sets up a bionic structure manipulator, equipped with AI vision to automatically identify the three-dimensional information of the dumped garbage, and uses AI artificial intelligence to automatically adjust the manipulator's fingers to cross according to the three-dimensional information of the garbage, grab the garbage bag in the garbage pile, move it to the conveyor belt to break the bag and spread it evenly, that is, the bionic manipulator can be controlled by artificial intelligence to automatically load, break the bag and spread it. It replaces the traditional garbage loading system of garbage pit + chain conveyor + manual assisted paving + bag breaker and other multiple devices to work independently and separately to process garbage, and creates the first integrated loading, bag breaking and paving system. The equipment eliminates the need for a bag breaker and labor in all processes, greatly reducing energy consumption and costs. By adjusting the operation of the robot through artificial intelligence, various defects such as easy blockage of the conveyor belt, poor adaptability and accuracy of bag breaking, uneven paving, and machine jamming are eliminated, and the loading, bag breaking and paving are automated. It can complete automatic loading, precise bag breaking and efficient paving operations in a closed and clean environment, providing a stable and reliable front-end processing foundation for subsequent resource extraction and intelligent sorting systems, improving the intelligence and automation level of garbage disposal, reducing labor costs, and improving garbage classification accuracy and resource recovery efficiency.The system of the present invention includes a feeding device, a paving device, and an intelligent identification and path optimization device. The feeding device includes three components: a conical hopper, a truss, and a first manipulator. Their respective structures, positional relationships, and connection relationships enable the flexible and retractable first manipulator to penetrate into the conical hopper, grab the garbage dumped into it, and move it out of the conical hopper through the truss. The opening at the top of the conical hopper is relatively large, which firstly indicates that it is a cone with a larger top and a smaller bottom. Secondly, the garbage truck dumps the garbage from top to bottom, so the opening is relatively large, and it is convenient for the first manipulator to drop from the truss into the conical hopper to grab and dump the garbage. The paving device includes an operating paving platform, a conveying transmission structure and a vibrating screen device for paving garbage. The truss extends above the operating paving platform, so that the first manipulator can clamp the garbage bag above the operating paving platform to break the bag. The second manipulator is set on the side of the operating table of the operating paving platform to perform paving operations. The intelligent recognition and path optimization device includes an image acquisition device and an AI intelligent control module connected to the image acquisition device to transmit data and information. The image acquisition device collects the real-time images inside the conical hopper and on the operating paving platform. The three-dimensional information of garbage on the paving platform, including the accumulation of garbage, the type of garbage, and the movement information of the first and second manipulators, is transmitted to the AI intelligent control module, which is received, identified, processed, analyzed and controlled in real time by each module of the AI intelligent control module. The analysis includes deep learning to calculate the grasping point, grasping force, grasping method, clamping force, movement on the truss, movement distance, bag breaking method and bag breaking action and optimized path of the first manipulator, the tearing, sorting and paving actions of the second manipulator, so as to control the relevant actions of the first and second manipulators and the garbage after paving. The first and second manipulators are simulation manipulators specially designed for the system, and their finger structures and module settings can be controlled by the above-mentioned AI intelligent control module to imitate the human hand's grasping, holding, pulling and tearing, sorting, paving, arm bending and stretching movements, thereby coordinating with other components to achieve a high degree of integration of manipulator grasping, intelligent bag breaking, dynamic paving and other operations, with a high degree of integration. The system of the present invention can replace 4 traditional equipment, reduce more than 80% of manual intervention, and increase the single-line daily garbage processing capacity by 50%.
[0057] Dumping garbage into the conical hopper, the cone can use the downward movement trend formed by the garbage's own weight to control the loading, low energy consumption, reduced operating costs, and different cone angles form different movement trends, which can be targeted at different types of garbage; the robot can accurately grab the garbage bag and move it to the conveyor belt, and can intelligently control the bag breaking and paving, thus solving the problem of accumulation on the working paving platform, improving processing efficiency, and saving a lot of energy and manpower;
[0058] Through the image acquisition device and the AI intelligent control module electrically connected to the image acquisition device, AI visual analysis and path optimization are realized. It intelligently analyzes the detection of foreign objects, large items, working errors, and extracts the material information, volume information and density information of the garbage bag. The analysis results are sent to the path and motion optimization module. Then, through deep learning calculation, the robot's grasping points and optimized path are obtained to optimize the grasping order of the garbage bags. The robot's movement is controlled to automatically identify the type of garbage bag, the best grasping point, and the optimized movement path of the robot. The robot path is optimized through the intelligent obstacle avoidance algorithm to avoid collisions between robots.
[0059] Intelligent robotic gripping + dynamic force feedback: adapt to different garbage bags and prevent bags from breaking;
[0060] Other efficient bag breaking: The force feedback sensor detects the toughness of the garbage bag, combines high-frequency vibration bag breaking and torsional shear bag breaking, and automatically selects the optimal bag breaking mode;
[0061] Intelligent paving optimization: Reliability of paving work is achieved through flip paving, and spreading uniformity is improved through vibrating screens.
[0062] This invention achieves significant improvements in the following core dimensions:
[0063] 1. Improved processing efficiency: The traditional system has a manual assisted processing capacity of approximately 1.5 tons / hour per production line. However, the system of the present invention achieves a single-line processing capacity increase of 3 tons / hour through multi-manipulator collaborative operation, intelligent path planning and paving depth control, and an efficiency improvement of 100%.
[0064] 2. Enhanced automation and intelligence: The artificial intelligence of this system can use deep neural networks and image fusion algorithms to realize automatic recognition, path generation and dynamic grasping of garbage bags of different specifications and shapes. At the same time, it has the ability of self-assignment of tasks and trajectory correction, significantly reducing human intervention and having the ability to operate 24 hours a day.
[0065] 3. Strong environmental adaptability: Since there is no manual operation, a closed operation cabin design can be adopted. It can be deployed in high humidity, odor, and insect pest environments, avoiding the pollution diffusion problem caused by traditional open operations, and more in line with high-standard environmental protection site requirements.
[0066] 4. Excellent control of paving uniformity: Through the operation of the bionic manipulator, a dynamic simulation compensation algorithm can be used to control the thickness of the material layer, so that the coefficient of variation CV value of the paving thickness is controlled within 10%, which is suitable for subsequent air separation, optical separation, robot sorting and other process requirements.
[0067] 5. The subsequent sorting system has strong coordination capabilities: the paving path and speed are adjusted in real time by the AI control system, and can be linked with photoelectric recognition, near-infrared sorting, airflow sorting and other technologies to achieve closed-loop optimization of the overall waste resource system.
[0068] 6. High system integration, better floor space and operation and maintenance costs: This invention integrates the three major processes of loading, bag breaking, and paving into a single control architecture and structural unit, reducing space occupancy by about 30% and energy loss by 40% compared to traditional four-stage equipment, with fewer later maintenance nodes and higher system operation stability.

The modular partitioning and functional integration of the closed structure can constitute an independent structural protection point. The vibrating blade adopts a low-frequency vibration mode of 30-50Hz to ensure the reliability of bag breaking with high impact force and adaptability; the low-frequency vibration cycle is longer, allowing the blade to fully reset between two vibrations, ensuring the continuity and stability of the cutting action. The garbage bag material is diverse, and low-frequency vibration can be adapted to different toughness materials by adjusting the amplitude rather than the frequency, avoiding blade jamming or material rebound that may be caused by high-frequency vibration.

High-frequency vibration can enhance the jumping movement of garbage particles, promote the automatic stratification of materials of different densities, and improve the efficiency of subsequent sorting operations. High-frequency vibration causes the surface of the screen to vibrate rapidly and slightly, effectively preventing wet garbage or fibrous materials from adhering to the sieve holes and reducing the frequency of manual cleaning. The frequency design of both is based on physical characteristics and scenario requirements, taking into account efficiency, durability and energy consumption control to form a complete garbage pretreatment solution.
