[0027] The transport mechanism includes a motor 5 installed at the top of the conveyor cylinder 2, which drives the transmission shaft 6; a conveyor belt 4 is installed on one side of the top of the conveyor cylinder 2 for transporting materials; an angle motor 25 and a base plate 26 are installed at the bottom of the conveyor cylinder 2, the angle motor 25 drives the base plate 26 and the base plate 26 is used to seal the bottom of the conveyor cylinder 2; a control cylinder 23 is also installed at the bottom of the conveyor cylinder 2 for controlling the movement of the pusher 24, and a push cylinder 21 is installed on the conveyor cylinder 2 for controlling the movement of the moving plate 22.

[0028] The recycling mechanism includes a drop box 30 mounted on a mounting plate 31 and located at one end of a conveyor belt 27. A guide plate 33 is provided at the other end of the conveyor belt 27. A guide plate 34 is slidably mounted on the surface of the guide plate 33. A control cylinder 32 for controlling the movement of the guide plate 34 is provided on the side of the conveyor belt 27.

[0029] The suspension mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 35 and a lifting motor 36 mounted on the mounting plate 31. The lifting motor 36 drives the lifting cylinder 35.

A clamping ring 37 is provided on the telescopic rod of the clamping electric cylinder 39.

[0031] Operating principle: Material is fed into conveyor cylinder 2 via conveyor belt 24. Motor 15 operates, and transmission shaft 6 rotates to transport material from top to bottom. Angle motor 25 controls the rotation of bottom plate 26, controlling the blocking state of the bottom end of conveyor cylinder 2. Motor 213 operates, controlling turntable 8 to rotate, causing each container 9 to move below conveyor cylinder 2. By releasing material, the material is collected in container 9. The moving plate 22 is moved by pushing electric cylinder 21, which pushes the bottom end of control push plate 10, causing control push plate 10 to slide and adjust its position in container 9 to adjust the material holding volume. Material falls into container 9 and overflows from the top of container 9. The pushing part 24 is moved by controlling electric cylinder 323, which pushes the material overflowing from the top of container 9, causing the material to fall into recycling cylinder 12 for recycling. Through rotation, containers 9 in each direction are sequentially rotated to the bottom of conveyor cylinder 2 for receiving.

[0032] At the location of the support 101, the guide docking part 18 is moved by the control electric cylinder 17. The guide docking part 18 contacts the inside of the guide cylinder 7 and its end docks with the guide part 15 to form a guide channel. The push electric cylinder 102 pushes the bottom of the control push plate 10, and the control push plate 10 pushes the material out of the container 9 and drops it from the guide channel. That is, it falls onto the conveyor belt 3 below after passing through the guide part 15 and the guide channel 16, thus completing the fractional transportation.

[0033] Furthermore, as the material continuously falls into the recycling cylinder 12, it is received by the recycling hoisting cylinder 28. Then, the hoisting motor 36 operates, and the hoisting cylinder 35 winds the hoisting rope 29, raising the recycling hoisting cylinder 28 to a preset height. The clamping electric cylinder 39 controls the clamping ring 37 to clamp the recycling hoisting cylinder 28. Then, the flipping motor 40 controls the flipping plate 38 to flip, which drives the recycling hoisting cylinder 28 to rotate and dump the material. The control electric cylinder 42 controls the guide plate 2 34 to move, and the guide plate 2 34 extends to below the dumping opening of the recycling hoisting cylinder 28. The material slides onto the conveyor belt 3 27 and is transported to the drop box 30 via the conveyor belt 3 27. Then, it falls onto the conveyor belt 2 4 via the drop box 30, completing the recycling and transportation and improving the loading efficiency.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
