Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of garbage recycling, and in particular to a counting method for recycled objects, an electronic device and a recycling bin. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the context of an increasingly perfect garbage classification and resource recycling system, recycling bins, as key facilities for garbage recycling, are widely used in various places such as communities, campuses and shopping malls. Recycling bins need to accurately count the recycled objects (such as plastic bottles and pop cans) put in by users, which not only provides data support for recycling quantity statistics and resource scheduling, but also improves the recycling enthusiasm of users through mechanisms such as point rewards, thereby promoting the landing of green environmental protection concepts.

[0003] In the prior art, recycling bins generally use cameras in combination with image recognition algorithms to count recycled objects. Specifically, the camera will take real-time photos of the recycled objects put into the recycling port, and then analyze the photographed images through the image recognition algorithm to identify the types of recycled objects and count the number.

[0004] However, using the prior art, for transparent or translucent recycled objects such as mineral water bottles and transparent plastic boxes, due to their strong refraction and transmission of light, they are easily displayed as objects with blurred outlines and unclear features in the images taken by the camera, making it difficult for the image recognition algorithm to accurately identify the shape and motion trajectory of the recycled objects, and thus often resulting in large counting errors.

[0052] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0053] In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", "fifth", "sixth", "seventh" and "eighth" are only used for descriptive purpose and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implying the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second", "third", "fourth", "fifth", "sixth", "seventh" and "eighth" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0054] The present application provides a recycling object counting method, an electronic device and a recycling bin. The baffle can be pushed by the recycling object to rotate. When a trigger signal generated by the detection light path of at least one pair of first photoelectric sensors of the recycling bin being blocked or not blocked by the moving baffle, it is determined that the recycling port corresponding to the baffle receives the recycling object. The movement of the recycling object can be converted into the movement of the baffle, and then the movement of the baffle is detected by the photoelectric sensor to count the recycling object, which greatly improves the accuracy of counting the transparent or translucent recycling object.

[0055] The recycling object counting method provided by the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a flow diagram of the first embodiment of the recycling object counting method provided by the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the recycling object counting method comprises steps S100 to S200.

[0057] Step S100: When a trigger signal generated by the detection light path of at least one pair of first photoelectric sensors of the recycling bin being blocked or not blocked by the moving baffle, it is determined that the recycling port corresponding to the baffle receives the recycling object.

[0058] The baffle is arranged in the recycling channel communicating with the recycling port, and the baffle can be pushed by the recycling object to rotate. At least one pair of first photoelectric sensors is arranged in the movement detection area corresponding to the baffle. The movement detection area corresponding to the baffle refers to the arrangement area of the photoelectric sensor which can convert the detection light path of at least one pair of first photoelectric sensors from being blocked by the baffle to not being blocked or from not being blocked to being blocked by the baffle when the baffle rotates.

[0059] Optionally, the two first photoelectric sensors in the pair of first photoelectric sensors are opposite to each other to form a detection light path. Specifically, the light emitted by the light emitting part of one of the first photoelectric sensors in the pair of first photoelectric sensors is received by the light receiving part of the other first photoelectric sensor through the recycling channel to form a detection light path. The pair of first photoelectric sensors is a pair of opposite sensors.

[0060] In the present application, the pair of photoelectric sensors generates a trigger signal, which means that one of the pair of photoelectric sensors including a light receiving part generates a trigger signal.

[0061] In some embodiments, each pair of first photosensors corresponds to one detection light path. The baffle includes a shielding part.

[0062] In some embodiments, the shielding part is unable to shield all the detection light paths when the baffle is not rotated, and is able to shield all the detection light paths when the baffle is rotated.

[0063] In some embodiments, the shielding part is able to shield all the detection light paths when the baffle is not rotated, and is unable to shield all the detection light paths when the baffle is rotated.

[0064] When the recyclable object is normally put into the recycling port, the recyclable object pushes the baffle to rotate, and then the recyclable object slides into the recycling channel, and the baffle quickly returns to the initial position. When the baffle is pushed by the foreign matter for a long time so as to be unable to return to the initial position, the trigger signal lasts for a period of time. Therefore, the anti-miscounting function can be realized according to the duration.

[0065] In some embodiments, when a trigger signal generated by the shielding or non-shielding of the detection light path of at least one pair of first photosensors of the recycling bin by the moving baffle is received, and the duration of the trigger signal is not greater than a first preset time, it is determined that the recycling port corresponding to the baffle receives the recyclable object. In this way, the recyclable object can be prevented from being miscounted.

[0066] Optionally, the first preset time is 0.1 seconds (s), 0.2 s, or 0.25 s, etc.

[0067] In the process that the recyclable object pushes the baffle to rotate, and then the recyclable object slides to the bottom of the recycling channel, and the baffle returns to the initial position, the baffle can produce multiple swings, and therefore the photosensors can produce multiple trigger signals.

[0068] In some embodiments, when a trigger signal generated by the shielding or non-shielding of the detection light path of at least one pair of first photosensors of the recycling bin by the moving baffle is received, no other trigger signal is received within a fourth preset time before the trigger signal is received, and the duration of the trigger signal is not greater than a first preset time, it is determined that the recycling port corresponding to the baffle receives the recyclable object. In this way, the recyclable object can be further prevented from being miscounted.

[0069] Optionally, the fourth preset time is 1 s, 1.5 s, 2 s, or 10 s, etc.

[0070] In some embodiments, when the recyclable object storage bag of the recycling bin is full, the recyclable object is stacked into the recycling channel and pushes the baffle to rotate, so that the baffle deviates from the initial position, and then at least one pair of first photosensors in the motion detection area generates a trigger signal.

[0071] In some embodiments, the recycling bin further comprises an overflow indication device, and the method further comprises: when a trigger signal generated by the blocking or unblocking of the detection light path of at least one pair of first photoelectric sensors of the recycling bin by the moving baffle is received, and the duration of the trigger signal is greater than a second preset time, controlling the overflow indication device to be in an overflow indication state. The second preset time is greater than the first preset time.

[0072] Optionally, the second preset time is 60 seconds, 90 seconds, 10 minutes, or 30 minutes, etc.

[0073] Optionally, the overflow indication device comprises at least one of an indicator light, a display screen, and a voice broadcast device.

[0074] In actual application scenarios, when the baffle is pushed by the recyclables and rotates, the baffle may swing back and forth several times within a period of time due to inertia, resulting in the generation of trigger signals several times.

[0075] In some embodiments, when a trigger signal generated by the blocking or unblocking of the detection light path of at least one pair of first photoelectric sensors of the recycling bin by the moving baffle is received, and the number of transmissions of the trigger signal within a third preset time is not more than a first preset number, it is determined that the recycling port corresponding to the baffle receives recyclables.

[0076] Optionally, the first preset number is 2, 3, or 4, etc.

[0077] Optionally, the third preset time is 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, or 5 seconds, etc.

[0078] When the baffle touches the recycling channel shell during the swinging process, the baffle may rebound, which may increase the number of swings of the baffle.

[0079] In some embodiments, the baffle comprises a rotating connection part, and a buffer is arranged at an end of the baffle away from the rotating connection part, the buffer being used to reduce the rebound amplitude of the baffle. In this way, the number of swings of the baffle can be reduced, and the number of trigger signals generated can be reduced, which is conducive to avoiding miscounting of recyclables.

[0080] In some embodiments, the rotating connection part connects a first part of a second hinge, a second part of the second hinge is fixed to the recycling channel shell, and the second hinge is used to movably connect the recycling channel shell and the baffle.

[0081] In some embodiments, the recycling bin further comprises at least one pair of second photoelectric sensors, the at least one pair of second photoelectric sensors being arranged in the recycling channel where the baffle is located, and the distance between the second photoelectric sensor and the recycling port corresponding to the baffle is less than the distance between the baffle and the recycling port corresponding to the baffle.

[0082] In some embodiments, when the first trigger signal generated by the first photosensor being blocked or unblocked by the baffle moved by the motion is received, and the second trigger signal of the second photosensor is not received, it is determined that the recycling opening corresponding to the baffle receives the recyclable.

[0083] The baffle can be pushed by foreign matter or the user's hand for a long time so as to fail to return to the initial position. In some embodiments, when the first trigger signal is received, and the second trigger signal is received, it is indicated that the baffle is pushed by foreign matter or the user's hand for a long time, and at this time, it can be determined that the recycling opening corresponding to the baffle does not receive the recyclable.

[0084] In the above manner, the recyclable can be avoided from being miscounted.

[0085] In some embodiments, the number of recycling openings is multiple, and one recycling opening is connected to one recycling channel.

[0086] Optionally, the recycling channel can be connected to the recyclable storage bag. The recyclable enters the recycling channel from the recycling opening, and then enters the recyclable storage bag.

[0087] In some embodiments, the sizes of the multiple recycling openings are different from each other. Each recycling opening corresponds to receive one type of recyclable.

[0088] In some embodiments, the types of recyclable include plastic bottle body, plastic bottle cap, and pop can, etc. The plastic bottle body is generally made of transparent or translucent material. The plastic bottle cap and the pop can are generally made of opaque material.

[0089] In some embodiments, when the recyclable corresponding to the recycling opening is made of opaque material, the baffle does not need to be arranged in the recycling channel corresponding to the recycling opening, and the photosensor can be directly used to detect the recyclable.

[0090] In some embodiments, the recycling channel is formed in the recycling channel shell.

[0091] In some embodiments, the recycling channel includes a first recycling channel and a second recycling channel. The baffle is arranged in the first recycling channel. At least one pair of first photosensors is arranged in the motion detection area corresponding to the baffle in the first recycling channel. At least one pair of third photosensors is arranged on the recycling channel shell corresponding to the second recycling channel.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is the flowchart of the second embodiment of the recyclable counting method provided by the embodiments of the present application. As shown in Figure 2 , optionally, the recyclable counting method further includes step S300.

[0093] Step S300: When receiving a trigger signal generated by the fact that the detection light path of at least one pair of third photoelectric sensors is blocked, it is determined that the recycling port receives a recyclable.

[0094] Step S300 is before step S200.

[0095] In some embodiments, the recycling channel shell includes a through hole, and the body of the photoelectric sensor mentioned above can be arranged on the recycling channel shell, and the light emitting part or the light receiving part of the photoelectric sensor penetrates the through hole. The light emitted by the light emitting part of one photoelectric sensor in the pair of photoelectric sensors is received by the light receiving part of the other photoelectric sensor through the through hole and the recycling channel, forming a detection light path.

[0096] In some embodiments, when the recyclable enters the recycling channel from the recycling port, the detection light path of at least one pair of third photoelectric sensors is blocked, thereby generating a trigger signal.

[0097] In some embodiments, the type of photoelectric sensor can be a pair of photoelectric sensors or a slot type photoelectric sensing device, etc. A pair of photoelectric sensors are integrated in the slot type photoelectric sensing device.

[0098] In some embodiments, the recycling bin can include a slot type photoelectric sensing device.

[0099] Step S200: Count the recyclables to obtain a count value of the recyclables.

[0100] In some embodiments, step S200 includes step S210 and step S220.

[0101] Step S210: When receiving a trigger signal, and the duration of the trigger signal is not greater than a first preset time, the count value of the recyclables is increased by 1.

[0102] In some embodiments, the initial value of the count value of the recyclables is 0.

[0103] In this way, it can be avoided that the recyclables are miscounted when the baffle is pushed by foreign matter for a long time so as to be unable to return to the initial position.

[0104] Step S220: When receiving a trigger signal, and the duration of the trigger signal is greater than a first preset time, the recyclables are not counted.

[0105] In some embodiments, step S200 includes step S230 and step S240.

[0106] Step S230: In some embodiments, when the number of times of sending the trigger signal within a third preset time does not exceed a first preset number of times, the count value of the recyclables is increased by 1.

[0107] Step S240: When the number of sending of the trigger signal within the third preset time exceeds the first preset number, the recyclable object is not counted.

[0108] As described above, in actual application scenarios, when the baffle is pushed and rotated by the recyclable object, the baffle may rotate back and forth for multiple times within a period of time due to inertia, resulting in multiple generation of the trigger signal. In this way, when the number of sending of the trigger signal within the third preset time does not exceed the first preset number, the recyclable object is counted only once, and subsequent counting is not performed, which can avoid miscounting of the recyclable object when the baffle swings back and forth.

[0109] In some embodiments, step S200 includes step S250 and step S260.

[0110] Step S250: In response to receiving the user information, determining the user account according to the user information.

[0111] The user information includes login information of the user account.

[0112] Optionally, the login information of the user account can be login information on a mobile application software, Alipay, WeChat, a counting applet corresponding to the recycling bin, or a WeChat public account.

[0113] Optionally, the user information further includes the type of the recyclable object.

[0114] In some embodiments, the type of the recyclable object includes a plastic bottle body, a plastic bottle cap, and a pop can, etc. The plastic bottle body is generally made of transparent or translucent material. The plastic bottle cap and the pop can are generally made of opaque material.

[0115] In some embodiments, each recycling port corresponds to receiving one type of recyclable object.

[0116] In some embodiments, the recycling port includes a first recycling port, a second recycling port, and a third recycling port, the first recycling port is used to receive a plastic bottle body, the second recycling port is used to receive a pop can, and the third recycling port is used to receive a plastic bottle cap.

[0117] Step S260: Counting the recyclable object to obtain a count value of the recyclable object, and associating the count value of the recyclable object to the user account.

[0118] The method of counting the recyclable object to obtain the count value of the recyclable object is as described above.

[0119] In some embodiments, each recycling port corresponds to receiving one type of recyclable, and each recycling port corresponds to at least one pair of photoelectric sensors. The recyclable received by the recycling port can be counted according to the trigger signals of all pairs of photoelectric sensors corresponding to the recycling port, and the type of the recyclable is determined according to the preset correspondence between the trigger signal and the type of the recyclable.

[0120] In some embodiments, the type of the recyclable is determined according to the type of the recyclable in the user information or the correspondence between the trigger signal and the type of the recyclable corresponding to each recycling port, and the count value of the recyclable is associated with the user account according to the type of the recyclable.

[0121] In some embodiments, based on the database determining the total count value of the type of each recyclable corresponding to the user account, the count value of the recyclable is added to the corresponding total count value according to the type of the current recyclable, thereby updating the total count value of the type of the current recyclable in the user account.

[0122] In some embodiments, based on the database determining the total score value of the type of each recyclable corresponding to the user account, the score value of the current recyclable is calculated according to the type of the current recyclable and the count value of the recyclable based on a preset calculation method, and the score value of the current recyclable is added to the corresponding score value according to the type of the current recyclable, thereby updating the total score value of the type of the current recyclable in the user account.

[0123] In some embodiments, in the counting method of the recyclable, step S250 is performed first, then the photoelectric sensor of the recycling bin is started, step S100 is performed, and then step S260 is performed.

[0124] In summary, the counting method of the recyclable provided by the embodiments of the present application has the following advantages:

[0125] 1. By rotating the baffle which can be pushed by the recyclable, when receiving the trigger signal generated by the detection light path of at least one pair of first photoelectric sensors of the recycling bin being blocked or not blocked by the moving baffle, it is determined that the recycling port corresponding to the baffle receives the recyclable. The movement of the recyclable can be converted into the movement of the baffle, and then the movement of the baffle is detected by the photoelectric sensor to count the recyclable, greatly improving the accuracy of counting the transparent or translucent recyclable.

[0126] 2. By determining that the recycling port corresponding to the baffle receives the recyclable when receiving a trigger signal and the duration of the trigger signal is not greater than a first preset time, it can avoid miscounting the recyclable.

[0127] 3. The baffle includes a rotating connection portion, and a buffer is arranged at an end of the baffle away from the rotating connection portion, so as to reduce the rebounding range of the baffle, reduce the number of back-and-forth swinging of the baffle, and further reduce the number of trigger signal generation, thereby avoiding miscounting of the recycled objects.

[0128] 4. The first trigger signal is received, and the second trigger signal is not received, so as to determine that the recycled objects are received by the recycling port corresponding to the baffle, thereby avoiding miscounting of the recycled objects.

As shown in Figure 8 some embodiments, the box body 10 is internally provided with a recycling passage shell 34, and the recycling passage shell 34 forms a recycling passage 30.

[0156] Referring to Figure 9 , Figure 9 is a schematic view of a front view structure of the recycling passage shell provided in the embodiments of the present application. As shown in Figure 9 optionally, the recycling passage shell 34 is provided with a recycling port shielding device 24 at the recycling port 20. The recycling port shielding device 24 comprises a shielding door 241 and a first hinge 242, and the shielding door 241 is rotatable. The first part of the first hinge 242 is fixedly connected with the recycling passage shell 34, and the second part of the first hinge 242 is fixedly connected with the shielding door 241, so that the shielding door 241 is rotatable.

[0157] Optionally, at least one recycling port 20 is provided with a recycling port shielding device 24.

[0158] Exemplarily, the recycling passage shell 34 is provided with a recycling port shielding device 24 at the first recycling port 21 and the second recycling port 22.

[0159] Optionally, the recycling bin 1 comprises a recycling channel shell 34, the recycling channel shell 34 forms at least one recycling channel 30, and each recycling channel 30 is in communication with at least one recycling port 20.

[0160] In some embodiments, the recycling bin 1 comprises a bin body 10, a recycling port 20, a recycling channel 30, and at least one pair of first photoelectric sensors 51. The recycling port 20 is arranged on the bin body 10, and the recycling port 20 is in communication with the recycling channel 30.

[0161] Please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 is a side view structural schematic diagram of the recycling channel shell provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 10 shown, in some embodiments, the recycling channel 30 is provided with a baffle 40, the baffle 40 is rotatable, and at least one pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 is arranged in the movement detection area corresponding to the baffle 40. Among them, the baffle 40 can be pushed by the recyclables to rotate. The at least one pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 is used to detect whether the baffle 40 moves.

[0162] In some embodiments, the recycling channel shell 34 is partially hollow. In this way, the manufacturing material of the recycling channel shell 34 can be saved.

[0163] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11 is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the recycling channel shell provided by the embodiments of the present application. Figure 11 In the figure, the recycling port shielding device 24 is not drawn to show the recycling channel 30. As Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, in some embodiments, the recycling channel shell 34 comprises a first recycling channel shell 341, a second recycling channel shell 342, and a third recycling channel shell 343.

[0164] In some embodiments, the first recycling channel 31 is formed in the first recycling channel shell 341, the second recycling channel 32 is formed in the second recycling channel shell 342, and the third recycling channel 33 is formed in the third recycling channel shell 343.

[0165] Optionally, the first recycling channel 31 is in communication with the first recycling port 21 in Figure 6 , the second recycling channel 32 is in communication with the second recycling port 22 in Figure 6 , and the third recycling channel 33 is in communication with the third recycling port 23 in Figure 6 .

[0166] As Figure 10 shown, in some embodiments, Figure 11 the first recycling channel 31 in is provided with a baffle 40.

[0167] Optionally, the baffle 40 comprises a rotating connection portion 41 for rotating the baffle 40. When the first recycling port 21 receives the recyclable, the part of the baffle 40 below the rotating connection portion 41 (including the rotating connection portion 41) can rotate in the first direction V1.

[0168] Optionally, each pair of the first photoelectric sensors 51 corresponds to a detection light path. The movement detection area corresponding to the baffle 40 refers to the setting area of the first photoelectric sensor 51 which can make the detection light path of at least one pair of the first photoelectric sensors 51 change from being blocked by the baffle 40 to being unblocked or from being unblocked to being blocked by the baffle 40 when the baffle 40 rotates.

[0169] Exemplarily, one pair of the first photoelectric sensors 51 is arranged in the movement detection area corresponding to the baffle 40.

[0170] Optionally, the two first photoelectric sensors 51 in one pair of the first photoelectric sensors 51 are opposite to each other to form a detection light path. Specifically, the light emitted by the light emitting portion of one of the first photoelectric sensors 51 in one pair of the first photoelectric sensors 51 is received by the light receiving portion of the other first photoelectric sensor 51 through the recycling channel 30 to form a detection light path.

[0171] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 10 In some embodiments, the baffle 40 comprises a blocking portion 43.

[0172] In some embodiments, each pair of the first photoelectric sensors 51 corresponds to a detection light path.

[0173] In some embodiments, the blocking portion 43 cannot block all the detection light paths when the baffle 40 is not rotating, and can block all the detection light paths when the baffle 40 rotates.

[0174] In some other embodiments, the blocking portion 43 can block all the detection light paths when the baffle 40 is not rotating, and cannot block all the detection light paths when the baffle 40 rotates.

[0175] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 10 In some embodiments, the blocking portion 43 is above the rotating connection portion 41.

[0176] Optionally, when the baffle 40 is in the initial position, the blocking portion 43 is located in the area outside the first recycling channel shell 341. When the first recycling port 21 receives the recyclable, the blocking portion 43 can rotate in the second direction V2.

[0177] Optionally, the second direction V2 is different from the first direction V1.

[0178] Please refer to Figure 12 , Figure 12 is Figure 11An enlarged view of area A in the middle. (See diagram below.) Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, a second hinge 42 is provided on the first recycling channel housing 341. The rotating connecting portion 41 of the baffle 40 is connected to the first part of the second hinge 42, and the second part of the second hinge 42 is fixed to the recycling channel housing 34. The second hinge 42 is used to movably connect the first recycling channel housing 341 and the baffle 40.

[0179] In some embodiments, a pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 are disposed on the housing 341 of the first recycling channel, but not located within the first recycling channel 31. The pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 includes a first first photoelectric sensor 511 and a second first photoelectric sensor 512, which form a first detection optical path L through opposing light. The blocking portion 43 does not block the first detection optical path L when the baffle 40 is not rotating; when the baffle 40 rotates, the blocking portion 43 moves along... Figure 10 The second direction V2 rotates, thereby blocking the first detection optical path L, causing the pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 to emit a trigger signal.

[0180] Optionally, the first detection optical path L is not located in the first recovery channel 31.

[0181] In other embodiments, a pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 may also be disposed in the first recycling channel 31.

[0182] As the reclaimed material pushes the baffle 40 to rotate, and then slides to the bottom of the recycling channel 30, the baffle 40 may swing multiple times during its return to its initial position. Therefore, the first photoelectric sensor 51 will generate trigger signals multiple times. When the baffle 40 touches the recycling channel housing 34 during its swing, it may rebound, which will increase the number of swings.

[0183] like Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, a buffer 44 is provided at the end of the baffle 40 away from the rotating connection 41. The buffer 44 is used to reduce the rebound amplitude of the baffle 40. In this way, the number of times the baffle 40 swings back and forth can be reduced, thereby reducing the number of trigger signals generated, which helps to avoid miscounting of the recycled materials.

[0184] Optionally, the buffer 44 at least partially covers the baffle 40. For example, the buffer 44 at least partially covers the end of the baffle 40 away from the rotating connection 41.

[0185] Optionally, the buffer 44 is fixedly connected to one end of the baffle 40 away from the rotating connection 41, and extends a predetermined length in the direction away from the rotating connection 41.

[0186] Optionally, the buffer 44 is fixedly connected to the baffle 40 at an end away from the rotating connection part 41 and extends a preset length away from the rotating connection part 41, and when the baffle 40 is in a stationary state, the lowest point of the buffer 44 is below the recycling channel housing 34.

[0187] Optionally, the preset length is a length of the baffle 40 multiplied by a first preset proportion, so as to ensure the buffering effect of the buffer 44.

[0188] Optionally, the first preset proportion is in a range of 1 / 4 to 1.

[0189] Optionally, the first preset proportion can be 1 / 4, 1 / 3, 3 / 4, 1 / 2 or 1, etc.

[0190] Optionally, the buffer 44 is made of a soft material.

[0191] Optionally, the soft material includes at least one of rubber, silicone, soft plastic, sponge and textile.

[0192] Optionally, the buffer 44 can be in a sheet shape or a strip shape, etc.

[0193] Optionally, the buffer 44 is a rubber strip or a silicone strip.

[0194] In the first aspect, the buffer 44 has a preset length, and the buffer 44 has a certain mass due to the length, so that the buffer 44 constitutes a damper of the baffle 40. When the baffle 40 is pushed by the recycling object, the buffer 44 always moves in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the baffle 40 due to inertia, so as to exert a reaction force opposite to the moving direction of the baffle 40, reduce the swing amplitude of the baffle 40, and enable the baffle 40 to quickly recover to a stable state.

[0195] In the second aspect, the buffer 44 has a preset length, and after the baffle 40 rebounds, the buffer 44 can collide with the recycling channel housing 34 prior to the baffle 40, so as to increase the reaction force opposite to the moving direction of the baffle 40.

[0196] In the third aspect, the buffer 44 is made of a soft material with elasticity, so that the buffer 44 can be elastically deformed during the swing caused by the movement of the baffle 40, convert part of kinetic energy of the baffle 40 into elastic potential energy of the buffer 44, and further reduce the swing amplitude of the baffle 40.

[0197] In some embodiments, the rotating connection part 41 is used to connect a first part of the second hinge 42, a second part of the second hinge 42 is fixed to the first recycling channel housing 341, and the second hinge 42 is used to movably connect the first recycling channel housing 341 and the baffle 40.

[0198] AsFigure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the recycling bin 1 further includes at least one pair of second photoelectric sensors 52. At least one pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 are disposed in the motion detection area corresponding to the baffle 40, and at least one pair of second photoelectric sensors 52 are disposed in the first recycling channel 31 where the baffle 40 is located. The distance between the second photoelectric sensor 52 and the recycling port 20 corresponding to the baffle 40 is less than the distance between the baffle 40 and the recycling port 20 corresponding to the baffle 40.

[0199] The baffle 40 may be pushed for an extended period by a foreign object or a user's hand, preventing it from returning to its initial position. In some embodiments, when a first trigger signal is received from a pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 due to the baffle 40 being blocked or unblocked, and a second trigger signal is received from a pair of second photoelectric sensors 52, it indicates that the baffle 40 has been pushed for an extended period by a foreign object or a user's hand. In this case, it can be determined that the recycling port 20 corresponding to the baffle 40 has not received any recyclable material. When a first trigger signal is received from a pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 due to the baffle 40 being blocked or unblocked, and no second trigger signal is received from a pair of second photoelectric sensors 52, it can be determined that the recycling port 20 corresponding to the baffle 40 has received any recyclable material.

[0200] By using the methods described above, miscounting of recyclables can be avoided.

[0201] As described above, exemplarily, the first recycling port 21 is used to receive plastic bottle bodies, the second recycling port 22 is used to receive aluminum cans, and the third recycling port 23 is used to receive plastic bottle caps. Plastic bottle bodies are generally made of transparent or semi-transparent materials. Plastic bottle caps and aluminum cans are generally made of opaque materials. Therefore, a baffle 40 can be provided only in the first recycling channel 31 to convert the movement of the recyclables into the movement of the baffle 40 for detection. For recyclables made of opaque materials, the first photoelectric sensor 51 can be used directly for detection.

[0202] In some embodiments, the recycling bin 1 further includes at least one pair of third photoelectric sensors 53. At least one pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 are disposed in the motion detection area corresponding to the baffle 40 in the first recycling channel 31, and at least one pair of third photoelectric sensors 53 are disposed on the second recycling channel housing 342 corresponding to the second recycling channel 32.

[0203] like Figure 9 As shown, exemplarily, a pair of third photoelectric sensors 53 are provided on the second recycling channel housing 342. The pair of third photoelectric sensors 53 includes a first third photoelectric sensor 531 and a second third photoelectric sensor 532, which form a second detection optical path through opposing beams.

[0204] Optionally, a pair of third photoelectric sensors 53 are arranged on the second recycling passage shell 342 and not located in the second recycling passage 32.

[0205] Optionally, the pair of third photoelectric sensors 53 are located in the second recycling passage 32 as a whole.

[0206] Optionally, the pair of third photoelectric sensors 53 are at least partially located in the second recycling passage 32.

[0207] In some embodiments, the photoelectric sensors described above can be arranged on the recycling passage shell 34, and the detection light path can pass through the recycling passage 30. At this time, the recycling passage shell 34 comprises a through hole, the main body of the photoelectric sensor is arranged on the recycling passage shell 34, and the light emitting part or the light receiving part of the photoelectric sensor is opposite to the corresponding through hole. The light emitted by the light emitting part of one of the pair of photoelectric sensors passes through the through hole and the recycling passage 30 and is received by the light receiving part of the other photoelectric sensor, forming a detection light path.

[0208] In some embodiments, the first recycling port 21 is in communication with the first recycling passage 31, and the first recycling passage 31 is provided with a baffle 40. The second recycling port 22 is in communication with the second recycling passage 32, and the corresponding second recycling passage shell 342 is provided with at least one pair of third photoelectric sensors 53. The third recycling port 23 is in communication with the third recycling passage 33, and the corresponding third recycling passage shell 343 is provided with at least one pair of fourth photoelectric sensors.

[0209] As shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 , for example, the third recycling passage shell 343 is provided with a slot type photoelectric sensing device 54. The slot type photoelectric sensing device 54 integrates a pair of fourth photoelectric sensors.

[0210] In some embodiments, the plurality of recycling ports 20 are in communication with the recycling passage 30, and the baffle 40 is arranged in the recycling passage 30. In this way, one baffle 40 can be used to determine whether any one of the plurality of recycling ports 20 receives recyclables, which can reduce the number of accessories.

[0211] Optionally, the plurality of recycling ports 20 are in communication with the first recycling passage 31, and the baffle 40 is arranged in the first recycling passage 31.

[0212] In some embodiments, the first recycling passage 31 is not provided with the first photoelectric sensor 51. At this time, the first photoelectric sensor 51 can be arranged outside the first recycling passage shell 341.

[0213] Optionally, the first recycling passage 31 is further provided with at least one pair of first photoelectric sensors 51.

[0231] Optionally, the hanging member 130 can include a rope or a boom, etc.

[0232] In some embodiments, the length of the hanging member 130 is the height of the bin body 10 of the recycling bin 1 multiplied by a second preset proportion. When the magnetic fixing member 120 is adsorbed with the fixing part 110, and a part of the hanging member 130 passes through the hanging part 1201 of the magnetic fixing member 120, and another part of the hanging member 130 is fixed on the bin body 10, the length of the hanging member 130 is such that the hanging member 130 does not exceed the horizontal plane where the lowest point of the magnetic fixing member 120 is located.

[0254] In summary, this application provides a method for counting recyclables, an electronic device, and a recycling bin. The method includes: when a trigger signal is received from at least one pair of first photoelectric sensors of the recycling bin due to the detection optical path being blocked or unblocked by a moving baffle, determining that a recyclable has been received at the recycling port corresponding to the baffle. The baffle is disposed in a recycling channel communicating with the recycling port and can be rotated by the recyclable. At least one pair of first photoelectric sensors is disposed in a motion detection area corresponding to the baffle. The recyclables are then counted to obtain a count value. This application, by having a baffle that can be rotated by the recyclable, and by determining that a recyclable has been received at the recycling port corresponding to the baffle when a trigger signal is received from at least one pair of first photoelectric sensors of the recycling bin due to the detection optical path being blocked or unblocked by the moving baffle, converts the motion of the recyclable into the motion of the baffle. The recyclable is then counted by detecting the motion of the baffle using photoelectric sensors, greatly improving the accuracy of counting transparent or semi-transparent recyclables.
