[0042] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0043] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0044] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0045] The waste collection device 100 according to an embodiment of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the waste collection device 100 according to an embodiment of this application includes: a fixing frame 10, an unwinding unit 30, and a winding unit 40.

[0047] Specifically, the fixed frame 10 is provided with a take-up box 20, which has a conveyor channel 21 running through it in a first direction. A take-up channel 22 is provided on one side of the take-up box 20 in a second direction. The take-up channel 22 is connected to the conveyor channel 21. An unwinding unit 30 is provided on the fixed frame 10. The unwinding unit 30 is used to install the tape roll and can release the tape on the tape roll. A winding unit 40 is provided on the fixed frame 10. The winding unit 40 is used to wind the tape released by the unwinding unit 30. The conveyor channel 21 and the conveyor path of the tape at least partially overlap. The take-up box 20 is provided with an air blowing structure. The airflow blown by the air blowing structure can generate a traction force toward the bottom of the conveyor channel 21.

[0048] In other words, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the waste collection device 100 according to an embodiment of this application is mainly used for collecting release paper. The waste collection device 100 mainly includes a fixed frame 10, an unwinding unit 30, and a winding unit 40. A receiving box 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame 10. The receiving box 20 is provided with a conveying channel 21 extending along a first direction (e.g., the length direction of the receiving box 20). The receiving box 20 is provided with a receiving channel 22 on one side in a second direction (e.g., the thickness direction of the receiving box 20). The receiving channel 22 extends along the second direction, so that the receiving channel 22 communicates with the conveying channel 21. The unwinding unit 30 and the winding unit 40 are mounted on the fixed frame 10. The unwinding unit 30 is used to install the tape roll and can release the tape on the tape roll. The winding unit 40 can wind the tape released by the unwinding unit 30. The tape conveying can be realized by the cooperation of the unwinding unit 30 and the winding unit 40. The receiving box 20 is equipped with an air blowing structure, which can blow air and generate a traction force towards the bottom of the conveyor channel 21.

[0049] In this embodiment, the conveyor channel 21 partially overlaps with the conveyor path of the tape, meaning that a portion of the tape between the unwinding unit 30 and the winding unit 40 is located within the conveyor channel 21. During use, the conveyor channel 21 is located below the take-up channel 22, with the adhesive surface of the tape within the conveyor channel 21 facing the take-up channel 22. When collecting waste (e.g., release paper), the waste is first moved to the location of the take-up channel 22, and then air is blown through the blowing structure. The airflow pulls the waste down onto the tape surface, ensuring sufficient contact and reliable adhesion between the waste and the tape. After adhesion is complete, the unwinding unit 30 and the winding unit 40 cooperate to carry the tape a predetermined distance, aligning the unbonded portion of the tape with the take-up channel 22 for the next waste collection.

[0050] Therefore, according to the waste collection device 100 provided in this embodiment, the airflow generated by the blowing structure can pull the waste material picked up by the picking device 200 from the receiving channel 22 to the surface of the tape in the conveyor channel 21, so that the waste material can fully contact and reliably adhere to the tape, realizing accurate collection of waste material, effectively avoiding waste material falling and splashing, thereby significantly improving the first-pass yield; and through the cooperation of the unwinding unit 30 and the winding unit 40, the tape is automatically conveyed, which can effectively ensure the waste collection efficiency; moreover, compared with the existing method of using a vacuum cleaner to collect waste material, this device does not require a high-power vacuum cleaner, which significantly reduces energy consumption and equipment costs.

[0051] In some specific embodiments of this application, the air blowing structure includes an air blowing channel and an air inlet disposed in the receiving box 20. The air inlet is connected to the air blowing channel, and the air blowing channel is provided with an air blowing port, which is located on the inner wall surface of the receiving channel 22.

[0052] The air blowing structure can be integrated into the receiving box 20. Specifically, the air blowing structure includes an air blowing channel and an air inlet. Both the air blowing channel and the air inlet are located in the receiving box 20, and the air inlet is connected to the air blowing channel. The air blowing port of the air blowing channel is located on the inner wall of the receiving channel 22. In use, the air inlet is connected to an air source through an air pipe connector. When the air blowing port blows air, the airflow flows in the direction of the conveyor belt 21. Due to the high velocity of the blown airflow, a low-pressure zone is formed near the inner wall of the receiving channel 22. This low-pressure zone can draw air from the inlet of the receiving channel 22 towards the conveyor belt 21, making the airflow of the receiving channel 22 much greater than the airflow of the air blowing port. This helps to guide the waste material to the conveyor belt, ensuring reliable adhesion between the waste material and the conveyor belt, while also significantly reducing energy consumption.

[0053] According to one embodiment of this application, the air blowing channel is formed as an annular channel 23 surrounding the material receiving channel 22, and the air blowing port is formed as an annular opening surrounding the material receiving channel 22.

[0054] Specifically, both the air blowing channel and the air blowing port form a ring structure around the receiving channel 22. The ring-shaped air blowing channel facilitates a uniform distribution of airflow along the circumference of the receiving channel 22, while the ring-shaped air blowing port creates a ring-shaped airflow within the receiving channel 22, ensuring that the waste material receives a balanced traction force at different locations, thereby achieving reliable adhesion between the waste material and the tape. Furthermore, the ring-shaped airflow enhances the suction efficiency in low-pressure areas, further increasing the airflow output of the receiving channel 22 under the same blowing volume conditions, thus significantly improving the reliability of waste material adsorption while reducing energy consumption.

[0055] In some specific embodiments of this application, the annular channel 23 includes a first annular segment 231 and a second annular segment 232. The first annular segment 231 is connected to the air inlet and extends along the axial direction of the receiving channel 22. The first end of the second annular segment 232 is connected to the first annular segment 231, and the second end of the second annular segment 232 forms an air blowing port. The second annular segment 232 extends obliquely from the first end to the second end toward the axis of the receiving channel 22 toward the conveyor channel 21.

[0056] In other words, such as Figure 4 As shown, the annular channel 23 mainly consists of a first annular segment 231 and a second annular segment 232 distributed along the axial direction of the receiving channel 22. The first annular segment 231 extends axially along the receiving channel 22, and one side of the first annular segment 231 is connected to the air inlet. The second annular segment 232 is located below the first annular segment 231, and its upper end is connected to the lower end of the first annular segment 231. The lower end of the second annular segment 232 is open, thus forming an annular air inlet. Furthermore, the second annular segment 232 extends obliquely from its upper end towards the axis of the receiving channel 22 and towards the conveyor channel 21, forming a conical guide channel, thereby enabling the airflow from the air inlet to generate a traction force towards the conveyor channel 21.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first annular segment 231 enables the airflow to be evenly distributed before entering the second annular segment 232, effectively avoiding local concentration of airflow, thereby effectively improving the uniformity of airflow at each position of the blowing port, and thus ensuring that each part of the waste material can be reliably bonded to the tape.

[0058] According to one embodiment of this application, the waste collection device 100 further includes a tensioning component 50, which is disposed on the fixing frame 10 and is used to tension the tape between the winding unit 40 and the unwinding unit 30.

[0059] In this embodiment, the tensioning component 50 can apply an elastic tension force to the tape between the winding unit 40 and the unwinding unit 30, thereby keeping the tape in a taut state at all times. This effectively reduces the slack phenomenon of the tape during the unwinding and winding process, and thus ensures that all parts of the waste material can be reliably bonded to the tape.

[0060] In some specific embodiments of this application, the tensioning assembly 50 includes: a swing arm 51, which is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 10; a tensioning roller 52, which is rotatably mounted on the swing section of the swing arm 51 and is used to cooperate with the tape; and a first elastic member 53, whose first end is connected to the swing arm 51 and whose second end is connected to the fixed frame 10, and whose first elastic member 53 is used to provide an elastic tension force that keeps the tensioning roller 52 pressed against the tape.

[0061] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the tensioning assembly 50 includes a swing arm 51, a tensioning roller 52, and a tensioning roller 52. The swing arm 51 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 10 via a pivot, and the length direction of the swing arm 51 is perpendicular to the axis of the pivot. The portion of the swing arm 51 offset from the pivot along its length is the swing section of the swing arm 51. The axis of the tensioning roller 52 is parallel to the axis of the pivot, and the tensioning roller 52 is rotatably disposed in the swing section about its axis. The first elastic element 53 can be a tension spring. The first end of the first elastic element 53 is connected to the swing section, and the second end of the first elastic element 53 is connected to the fixed frame 10. In use, the outer circumferential surface of the tensioning roller 52 is in close contact with the surface of the tape without an adhesive layer. The first elastic element 53 maintains an elastic tension force pressing against the tape, thus ensuring that the tape is always in a taut state. Furthermore, this tensioning assembly 50 has a simple structure, facilitating production and assembly.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, in some optional examples of this application, the waste collection device 100 further includes a plurality of guide rollers 11, which are rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 10 about their own axes. The following description uses two guide rollers 11 as an example. The first guide roller 11 is located at the first end of the tape transport channel 21, and the second guide roller 11 is located at the second end of the tape transport channel 21. In use, the outer peripheral surfaces of the two guide rollers 11 on the same side are always in contact with the surface of the tape where no adhesive layer is applied. Therefore, the two guide rollers 11 ensure that a portion of the tape's transport path always coincides with the tape transport channel 21, thereby making the placement of the unwinding unit 30 and the rewinding unit 40 more flexible.

[0063] According to one embodiment of this application, the unwinding unit 30 includes: a support plate 31, which is rotatably mounted on a fixing frame 10 via a first rotating shaft 32, and a mounting block 311 suitable for mounting a first core of the tape roll is provided on the side of the support plate 31 away from the fixing frame 10; a clamping member 33, which is movably mounted on the first rotating shaft 32 along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 32, and the clamping member 33 is used to abut against the side of the first core away from the support plate 31; and a knob 34, which is threaded to the first rotating shaft 32, and a second elastic member 35 is provided between the knob 34 and the clamping member 33, and the second elastic member 35 is used to provide a resisting force toward the tape roll to the clamping member 33.

[0064] In other words, such as Figure 5 As shown, the unwinding unit 30 mainly includes a first rotating shaft 32, a support plate 31, a clamping member 33, and a knob 34. The support plate 31 is rotatably mounted on the fixing frame 10 via the first rotating shaft 32. For example, the support plate 31 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 32 and fixedly connected to it, and the first rotating shaft 32 is rotatably mounted on the fixing frame 10 around its own axis, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the support plate 31 and the fixing frame 10; or, the support plate 31 is rotatably sleeved on the first rotating shaft 32, and the first rotating shaft 32 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 10, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the support plate 31 and the fixing frame 10. A mounting block 311 is fixedly connected to the side of the support plate 31 facing away from the fixing frame 10. The mounting block 311 is adapted to the first core of the tape roll, so that the first core can be sleeved on the mounting block 311. The clamping member 33 is movably sleeved on the first rotating shaft 32 along its axial direction, and is located on the side of the support plate 31 opposite to the fixing frame 10. A knob 34 is located on the side of the clamping member 33 opposite to the support plate 31. The knob 34 is threadedly connected to the first rotating shaft 32, and a second elastic member 35, which can be a spring, is provided between the knob 34 and the clamping member 33. During use, the tape roll is located between the support plate 31 and the clamping member 33. The first end of the second elastic member 35 abuts against the knob 34, and the second end of the second elastic member 35 abuts against the clamping member 33, thereby causing the clamping member 33 to abut against the first core of the tape roll. This effectively prevents the tape roll from wobbling axially on the first rotating shaft 32, thus ensuring that the tape can reliably adhere to waste materials. When the tape roll needs to be replaced, it can be removed by turning knob 34. Then, the second elastic element 35 and the tightening block can be removed in sequence to replace the tape roll.

[0065] In this embodiment, the contact force of the clamping member 33 against the first core of the tape roll can be adjusted by rotating the knob 34, thereby providing the required contact force according to actual needs, avoiding damage to the tape roll due to excessive force, and facilitating disassembly.

[0066] It should be noted that when the support plate 31 is rotatably sleeved on the first rotating shaft 32 and the first rotating shaft 32 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 10, the rotation damping of the support plate 31 can be adjusted by rotating the knob 34, so that the rotation damping of the support plate 31 can be adjusted according to the actual situation, so that the tape is always in a taut state.

[0067] In some specific embodiments of this application, the winding unit 40 includes: a second rotating shaft 41, which is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 10; a first baffle plate 42, which is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 41; a second baffle plate 43, which is detachably mounted on the second rotating shaft 41 and cooperates with the first baffle plate 42 to fix the second core of the tape being wound; and a motor 44, which is mounted on the fixed frame 10 and whose output end is connected to the second rotating shaft 41.

[0068] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the winding unit 40 mainly comprises a second rotating shaft 41, a first baffle plate 42, a second baffle plate 43, and a motor 44. The axis of the second rotating shaft 41 is parallel to the axis of the first rotating shaft 42, and the second rotating shaft 41 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 10 around its own axis. The motor 44 can be a stepper motor, which is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 10, and its output end is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 41. Both the first baffle plate 42 and the second baffle plate 43 are configured as annular structures. The first baffle plate 42 is sleeved on and fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 41, while the second baffle plate 43 is detachably sleeved on the second rotating shaft 41, located on the side of the first baffle plate 42 facing away from the fixed frame 10. In use, the second core for winding the tape is located between the first baffle plate 42 and the second baffle plate 43. The first baffle plate 42 and the second baffle plate 43 cooperate to clamp and fix the second core onto the second rotating shaft 41. After winding is completed, the second baffle plate 43 can be removed from the second rotating shaft 41 to replace the second core.

[0069] In this embodiment, the motor 44 drives the second rotating shaft 41 to rotate, and the second core rotates synchronously with the second rotating shaft 41, thereby enabling the tape to be wound onto the second core. Furthermore, this solution eliminates the need for an additional drive structure for the unwinding unit 30, thus simplifying the structure of the waste collection device 100 and reducing production and operating costs.

[0070] According to one embodiment of this application, the winding unit 40 further includes: a notched ring 45 extending circumferentially along the second rotating shaft 41, the notched ring 45 being disposed on the second baffle plate 43, and the two ends of the notched ring 45 being movable relative to each other; a bolt 46, one end of which passes through the first end of the notched ring 45 and is threadedly connected to the second end of the notched ring 45, so that the notched ring 45 switches between a first state and a second state; and a connector 47 inserted between the notched ring 45 and the second rotating shaft 41; wherein, when the notched ring 45 is in the first state, the notched ring 45 clamps the connector 47, and the connector 47 abuts against the second rotating shaft 41; when the notched ring 45 is in the second state, the notched ring 45 releases the connector 47.

[0071] In other words, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second baffle plate 43 has a notched ring 45 on the side opposite to the first baffle plate 42, and the notched ring 45 extends circumferentially along the second rotating shaft 41. The middle section of the notched ring 45 is fixedly connected to the second baffle plate 43 circumferentially along the second rotating shaft 41. The first end of the bolt 46 passes through the first end of the notched ring 45 and is threaded to the second end of the notched ring 45. A connector 47 is inserted between the inner wall of the notched ring 45 and the second rotating shaft 41. By rotating the bolt 46, the distance between the two ends of the notched ring 45 can be changed, thereby switching the notched ring 45 between a first state and a second state. When the notched ring 45 is in the first state, its inner diameter decreases, thereby clamping the connector 47. At this time, the clamping member abuts against the notched ring 45 and the second rotating shaft 41 respectively, thereby firmly fixing the second baffle plate 43 onto the second rotating shaft 41. When the notched ring 45 is in the second state, its inner diameter increases, and the notched ring 45 releases the connector 47, so that the connector 47 can be removed from between the notched ring 45 and the second rotating shaft 41, thereby canceling the fixation between the second baffle plate 43 and the second rotating shaft 41, and then the second baffle plate 43 can be disassembled for the replacement of the second core.

[0072] In this embodiment, the second baffle plate 43 can be disassembled by loosening the bolt 46 and then removing the connector 47. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. In addition, if the connection between the second baffle plate 43 and the second rotating shaft 41 becomes loose in the future, the second baffle plate 43 can be firmly fixed to the second rotating shaft 41 again by replacing the connector 47, which effectively improves the convenience of maintenance.

[0073] In some optional examples of this application, the second end of the bolt 46 is provided with a handle, which makes it easier for the user to turn the bolt 46. The connector 47 is configured with a U-shaped structure, and the outer periphery of the second shaft 41 is provided with grooves on both radial sides. When the notched ring 45 is in the first state, the first end of the connector 47 is located between the groove on the first side of the second shaft 41 and the notched ring 45, and the second end of the connector 47 is located between the groove on the second side of the second shaft 41 and the notched ring 45, so that the two sides of the second shaft 41 are subjected to a uniform clamping force.

[0074] In some specific embodiments of this application, the receiving box 20 is provided with a plurality of receiving channels 22 spaced apart along the first direction, and each receiving channel 22 is provided with an air blowing structure.

[0075] Specifically, the receiving box 20 has multiple receiving channels 22 on one side in the second direction. These channels 22 are spaced apart along the first direction and are all connected to the conveyor belt channel 21, allowing the tape in the conveyor belt channel 21 to collect waste material falling from the multiple receiving channels 22. Therefore, multiple winding units 40, conveyor belt units, and conveyor belt channels 21 are unnecessary, simplifying the overall structure. Furthermore, each receiving channel 22 is equipped with a corresponding air blowing structure, which can pull the waste material in each receiving channel 22, ensuring that the waste material in each receiving channel 22 can fully contact and reliably bond with the tape.

[0076] According to one embodiment of this application, the receiving box 20 includes: a base 201, which is disposed on the fixing frame 10, and the base 201 has a groove extending through the first direction on one side in the second direction; a cover 202, which has a receiving channel 22, and the cover 202 cooperates with the inner wall of the groove to define a conveyor belt channel 21, and the cover 202 and the base 201 are connected by magnetic adsorption.

[0077] In other words, the receiving box 20 mainly includes a base 201 and a cover 202. The upper side of the base 201 is provided with a groove that runs through the first direction. The cover 202 is located on the upper side of the base 201. The cover 202 is provided with a plurality of receiving channels 22 that run through its thickness direction. The lower ends of the cover 202 have blocks. The width of the blocks corresponds to the width of the groove, and the height of the blocks is less than the depth of the groove. The first block and the inner wall of the groove define the first end of the conveyor belt channel 21, and the second block and the inner wall of the groove define the second end of the conveyor belt channel 21.

[0078] In this embodiment, the cover 202 and the base 201 are detachably connected by magnetic adsorption. For example, the side of the cover 202 closest to the base 201 is provided with multiple first magnets, and the side of the base 201 closest to the cover 202 is provided with multiple second magnets capable of attracting the first magnets. When it is necessary to pass the tape through the conveyor channel 21, the cover 202 is first removed from the base 201, then the tape is placed into the groove, and finally the cover 202 is installed back onto the base 201. The operation is convenient.

[0079] In some specific embodiments of this application, the bottom of the conveyor channel 21 is formed as a support surface for supporting the tape. This support surface ensures that the tape remains flat in the conveyor channel 21, thereby ensuring that waste material can be reliably bonded to the tape.

[0080] Embodiments of this application also provide a waste collection device including the waste collection apparatus 100 and the picking device 200 described in any of the above embodiments. In use, the picking device 200 is connected to a robotic arm (e.g., a three-axis robotic arm). The robotic arm, with the aid of the picking device 200, can tear waste off the product, then transfer it to the receiving channel 22 and release it. Since the waste collection apparatus 100 according to the embodiments of this application has the above-described technical effects, the waste collection device according to the embodiments of this application also has corresponding technical effects, which will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0081] In some specific embodiments of this application, the material handling device 200 includes: a connecting frame 60 and a plurality of clamping components 70, the plurality of clamping components 70 being disposed on the connecting frame 60 and distributed at intervals along a first direction; and a driving component 80, the driving component 80 being disposed on the connecting frame 60 and being connected to the plurality of clamping components 70 in a transmission manner, the driving component 80 being used to synchronously adjust the orientation of each clamping component 70.

[0082] Specifically, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the material handling device 200 mainly includes a connecting frame 60 and multiple gripping components 70. The connecting frame 60 is used to connect with the robotic arm. The multiple gripping components 70 are spaced apart on the connecting frame 60 along a first direction. The spacing between the multiple gripping components 70 corresponds to the spacing between the multiple receiving channels 22, so that the multiple gripping components 70 can simultaneously extend into the corresponding receiving channel 22.

[0083] Since the tear-off position of the release liner is not fixed in different projects, it would be difficult to meet the needs of different projects if the angle of the clamping component 70 is fixed. Therefore, in this embodiment, a drive component 80 is installed on the connecting frame 60. The drive component 80 is connected to multiple clamping components 70 via a transmission connection. The angles of multiple clamping components 70 can be adjusted simultaneously through the drive component 80, allowing the angles of the clamping components 70 to be adjusted according to different project requirements. This eliminates the need to replace different material handling devices 200, effectively shortening the project changeover cycle.

[0084] According to one embodiment of this application, the connecting frame 60 includes: a connecting plate 61 and a movable seat 62, the movable seat 62 being movably disposed on the connecting plate 61 along a first direction, a plurality of clamping components 70 and a driving component 80 being disposed on the movable seat 62; and a first driving member 63, the first driving member 63 being disposed on the connecting plate 61, the output end of the first driving member 63 being connected to the movable seat 62 to drive the movable seat 62 to move along the first direction.

[0085] In other words, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the connecting frame 60 according to an embodiment of this application mainly includes a connecting plate 61, a movable seat 62, and a first driving member 63. The connecting plate 61 is used to connect with a robotic arm. The movable seat 62 is movably disposed on one side of the connecting plate 61 along a first direction via a slide rail structure. The first driving member 63 can be a cylinder, and is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 61. The output end of the first driving member 63 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 62. Multiple gripping assemblies 70 and driving assemblies 80 are all mounted on the movable seat 62.

[0086] When the robotic arm's stroke in the first direction is insufficient due to project switching, the movable seat 62 can be moved along the first direction by the first drive component 63. The movement of the movable seat 62 can drive the multiple gripping components 70 and the drive component 80 to be adjusted as a whole along the first direction, thereby ensuring that the position of the gripping component 70 in the first direction is appropriately changed, so as to meet the needs of different projects for gripping and releasing positions, and thus effectively improve the applicability of the waste collection equipment.

[0087] In some specific embodiments of this application, the clamping assembly 70 includes: a second driving member 71, which is disposed on the connecting frame 60; a movable member 72, the first end of which is connected to the output end of the second driving member 71; a rotating sleeve 73, which is sleeved on the movable member 72 and is rotatably disposed on the connecting frame 60 about its axial direction, and a gripper 74 is provided at the end of the rotating sleeve 73 away from the second driving member 71; wherein, the second driving member 71 is used to drive the movable member 72 to move along the axial direction of the rotating sleeve 73, so that the second end of the movable member 72 can cooperate with the gripper 74 to clamp or release waste material; the driving assembly 80 is connected to the rotating sleeve 73 for transmission to drive the rotating sleeve 73 to rotate.

[0088] Specifically, such as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the clamping assembly 70 mainly includes a second driving member 71, a movable member 72, a rotating sleeve 73, and a gripper 74. The second driving member 71 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 62, and the second driving member 71 can be a cylinder. The first end of the movable member 72 is connected to the output end of the second driving member 71. The rotating sleeve 73 is movably sleeved on the movable member 72 along its axial direction, and the rotating sleeve 73 is rotatably mounted on the movable seat 62 around its own axis. The rotating sleeve 73 of each clamping assembly 70 is drively connected to the driving assembly 80. The gripper 74 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating sleeve 73 away from the second driving member 71, and along the axial direction of the rotating sleeve 73, the gripper 74 has a clamping portion opposite to the second end of the movable member 72. In use, the second drive member 71 can control the movable member 72 to move along the axial direction of the rotating sleeve 73, thereby controlling the second end of the movable member 72 to move away from or closer to the clamping part of the gripper 74. Then, by cooperating with the clamping part of the gripper 74, the waste material can be clamped or released.

[0089] It should be noted that when the rotating sleeve 73 is rotatably fitted onto the movable member 72 around its own axis, the first end of the movable member 72 can be fixedly connected to the output end of the second driving member 71; when the rotating sleeve 73 is not rotatably fitted onto the movable member 72, the first end of the movable member 72 is rotatably connected to the output end of the second driving member 71.

[0090] like Figure 9 As shown in some optional examples of this application, the second end of the movable part 72 is provided with a first serrated portion, and the clamping part is provided with a second serrated portion on the side near the first serrated portion, the second serrated portion being adapted to the first serrated portion. Through the cooperation of the first serrated portion and the second serrated portion, the contact area with the waste material can be increased, thereby effectively preventing the waste material from falling off during the transfer process.

[0091] In some specific embodiments of this application, the second end of the movable member 72 is formed into a cone, and the clamping part is provided with a conical hole adapted to the cylinder.

[0092] According to one embodiment of this application, each gripping assembly 70 has a rotating sleeve 73 fixedly connected to a first gear 731. The driving assembly 80 includes: a driving shaft 81, which is disposed on the connecting frame 60 and can be controlled to rotate around its axis; a second gear 82 fixedly connected to the driving shaft 81; and a movable plate 83, which is movably disposed on the connecting frame 60 along a first direction. The movable plate 83 is provided with a rack 84, and the first gear 731 and the second gear 82 respectively mesh with the rack 84.

[0093] In other words, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, each gripping assembly 70 has a first gear 731 mounted on its rotating sleeve 73, and the first gear 731 is fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve 73. The drive assembly 80 mainly includes a drive shaft 81, a second gear 82, a movable plate 83, and a rack 84. The axis of the drive shaft 81 is parallel to the axis of the rotating sleeve 73, and the drive shaft 81 is rotatably mounted on the movable seat 62 about its own axis. The second gear 82 is mounted on the drive shaft 81 and fixedly connected to it. The movable plate 83 is movably mounted on the movable seat 62 along a first direction via a guide rail structure. The rack 84 extends along the first direction and is fixedly connected to the side of the movable plate 83 near the second gear 82. The rack 84 meshes with the first gear 731 and the second gear 82. When adjusting the angle of the gripping assembly 70, the drive shaft 81 is controlled to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 82 to rotate. When the second gear 82 rotates, it drives multiple first gears 731 to rotate synchronously through the rack 84 meshing with it, thereby achieving synchronous adjustment of the angles of multiple gripping assemblies 70.

[0094] In some specific embodiments of this application, the drive assembly 80 further includes: a control disk 85, which is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 81, and the control disk 85 has an arc-shaped hole extending through its thickness direction; and a fastener 86, the first end of which passes through the arc-shaped hole and is threadedly connected to the connecting bracket 60, and the second end of which can abut against the control disk 85 to restrict the rotation of the drive shaft 81.

[0095] Specifically, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a control disk 85 is fitted onto the drive shaft 81, and the control disk 85 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 81. The control disk 85 has an arc-shaped hole extending through its thickness direction, and the arc-shaped hole extends circumferentially along the drive shaft 81. The fastener 86 can be a screw, with one end passing through the arc-shaped hole and threadedly connected to the movable seat 62, and the other end of the fastener 86 abutting against the control disk 85, thereby restricting the rotation of the drive shaft 81 and locking the angle of the clamping assembly 70. The structure is simple. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the clamping assembly 70, simply loosen the fastener 86 so that the second end of the fastener 86 is spaced apart from the control disk 85, and then rotate the drive shaft 81 to adjust the angle.

[0096] According to one embodiment of this application, the surface of the control panel 85 is provided with scale lines 851, and the connecting bracket 60 is provided with an indicator 621. The indicator 621 cooperates with the scale lines 851 to indicate the angle of the drive shaft 81.

[0097] In other words, such as Figure 8 As shown, the upper surface and outer circumferential surface of the control panel 85 are provided with scale lines 851 distributed circumferentially. The movable seat 62 is provided with an indicator mark 621, which is located on the outer circumference of the control panel 85. The indicator mark 621, in conjunction with the scale lines 851, can intuitively indicate the angle of the drive shaft 81. The angle of the drive shaft 81 corresponds to the angle of the clamping assembly 70. By rotating the drive shaft 81 to the corresponding angle, the angle of the clamping assembly 70 can be precisely adjusted without the need for additional measuring equipment.

[0098] In some specific embodiments of this application, a handle is fixedly connected to the upper end of the drive shaft 81, and the drive shaft 81 can be rotated by rotating the handle.

[0099] like Figure 7 As shown, in some optional examples of this application, the connecting plate 61 is provided with two hydraulic buffers 90 on the side near the movable seat 62. The first hydraulic buffer 90 is located on the first side of the movable seat 62 in the first direction, and the second hydraulic buffer 90 is located on the second side of the movable seat 62 in the first direction. The movement of the movable seat 62 in the first direction can be buffered by the two hydraulic buffers 90.

[0100] When the waste collection device according to the embodiment of this application is in use, the robotic arm first tears the release paper off the product through the picking device 200, then transfers the release paper to the corresponding receiving channel 22 and releases it. At the same time, the blowing structure is controlled to blow air, and the airflow blown by the blowing structure causes the waste to fall onto the surface of the tape, so that the waste sticks to the tape. Then, the winding unit 40 is controlled to wind up the tape of a predetermined length, so that the part of the tape that is not stuck with the centrifugal paper is carried into the conveyor channel 21 for the next waste collection.

[0101] While specific embodiments of this application have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of this application. The scope of this application is defined by the appended claims.
