Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of intelligent recycling, and in particular to a recycling machine. Background Technology

[0002] Recycling bins typically have a drop-off slot and a door for opening and closing the slot. If a user fails to pull their hand back in time while dropping off items, they may get their hand caught in the closing door, causing injury. Furthermore, the drop-off slot is often poorly sealed, allowing external dust, liquids, or odors to easily enter the bin, affecting the cleanliness and storage environment of recycled items and potentially causing unpleasant odors to leak out. In addition, a poorly sealed drop-off slot can interfere with the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) reader inside the bin, reducing the accuracy of identification. Summary of the Invention

[0031] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of this application are shown in the drawings. However, this application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this application.

[0032] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly attached to the other component or there may be intermediate components present. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be intermediate components present.

[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 16 The recycling machine in this embodiment includes a cabinet 11, a delivery door mounting base 2, a delivery door 3, a first shielding component 41, and a first detection device 51. The cabinet body 11 has a cabinet cavity 111. The delivery door mounting seat 2 is disposed on the delivery side of the cabinet body 11. The delivery door mounting seat 2 includes a mounting part 21 and a positioning surface 22. The mounting part 21 has a first end and a second end that are disposed opposite to each other. The first end of the mounting part 21 is connected to the cabinet body 11. The second end of the mounting part 21 extends into the cabinet cavity 111. The mounting part 21 has a delivery port 211 that passes through the mounting part 21 and communicates with the cabinet cavity 111. The positioning surface 22 is disposed at the second end of the mounting part 21. The positioning surface 22 bends outward from the second end of the mounting part 21 toward the delivery port 211. That is, the positioning surface 22 is a flange formed at the second end of the mounting part 21 and bends outward. The plane on which the positioning surface 22 is located is inclined relative to the vertical plane. Specifically, when the recycling machine is in use, the positioning surface 22 is inclined from top to bottom toward the cabinet cavity 111. The delivery door 3 is rotatably connected to the delivery door mounting base 2, and is used to open and close the delivery opening 211. A first shielding member 41 is disposed on the side of the positioning face 22 facing the delivery door 3, and surrounds the delivery opening 211. When the delivery opening 211 is closed, the first shielding member 41 fills the space between the delivery door 3 and the positioning face 22. A first detection device 51 is disposed on the side of the delivery opening 211 on the delivery door mounting base 2, and is used to detect whether there is an obstruction inside the delivery opening 211.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first shielding member 41 surrounds the delivery port 211 and is installed on the side of the positioning face 22 facing the delivery door 3. The positioning face 22 is inclined relative to the vertical plane to provide an inclined support surface for the first shielding member 41. It can be understood that when the delivery door 3 is closed, the delivery door 3 is also inclined. Specifically, the lower end of the delivery door 3 is inclined towards the inside of the cabinet cavity 111. In this way, when delivery is made, the inwardly inclined door panel forms a slide, and the put-in clothes will slide into the depth of the cabinet cavity along the inclined surface, instead of falling vertically at the door, preventing the clothes from getting stuck in the door gap. When the delivery door 3 is closed, the first shielding member 41 fills the space between the delivery door 3 and the positioning face 22, thereby effectively sealing the delivery port 211. This not only prevents dust, liquid and odor from entering or leaking, but also makes the cabinet cavity 111 an electromagnetic shielding space that is relatively independent from the outside of the recycling machine, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the reader 6 installed in the cabinet cavity 111 in reading the tags. In addition, the first detection device 51 can detect in real time whether there is an obstruction in the delivery port 211 before the delivery door 3 closes. Once a foreign object is detected, the delivery door 3 can be triggered to stop closing or open in reverse, thereby avoiding injury to the user's hand or damage to the equipment and improving the safety of use.

[0036] As an example, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The recycling machine includes two first detection devices 51, one of which is located on the left side of the delivery port 211, and the other on the right side of the delivery port 211, with the two first detection devices 51 arranged symmetrically. In some examples, the first detection device 51 can be an infrared sensor. As an example, one of the two first detection devices 51 can act as a transmitter of a through-beam infrared sensor, and the other as a receiver of a through-beam infrared sensor; alternatively, the two first detection devices 51 can be two independently operating sensors, thereby further improving detection accuracy. This can be configured according to actual conditions, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0037] As an example, the first shielding element 41 is shielding cotton.

[0038] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The recycling machine also includes a reader 6, which is located inside the cabinet cavity 111 and is used to read the item tags inside the cabinet cavity 111. As an example, the reader 6 can be an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) reader. For instance, the reader 6 can be an RFID read / write antenna board.

[0039] As one implementation method, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8The recycling machine also includes an inner wall sealing plate 12, which is set inside the cabinet cavity 111 and fixed to the cabinet body 11. The reader 6 can be installed between the inner wall sealing plate 12 and the cabinet body 11. The inner wall sealing plate 12 is provided with a first transparent window 121 corresponding to the reader 6. The first transparent window 121 is made of plastic, which facilitates signal penetration and ensures that the inner wall of the cabinet body 11 is flat and smooth, making it easy to clean.

[0040] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The recycling machine also includes a second detection device 52, which is located inside the cabinet cavity 111 and positioned near the upper end of the cabinet cavity 111. The second detection device 52 can be used to detect whether there is a continuous obstruction at its height. In other words, the second detection device 52 can be used as a full-box detection device. That is, when the recyclables inside the recycling machine reach the height of the second detection device 52, the recyclables will continuously obstruct the detection signal of the second detection device 52. Based on this, the second detection device 52 determines that the recycling volume of the recycling machine has reached the set upper limit, triggering a stop sensor to open the delivery door 3, making it more intelligent. The second detection device 52 can also be used to detect whether there is an obstruction passing through. For example, when recyclables fall from the delivery port 211 into the cabinet cavity 111 and pass through the detection area of ​​the second detection device 52, the second detection device 52 senses a brief obstruction signal, thus confirming that recyclables have been put into the recycling machine, achieving real-time detection and counting of delivery actions.

[0041] As one implementation method, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The recycling machine includes two second detection devices 52, which are symmetrically arranged within the cabinet cavity 111. As an example, the second detection device 52 can be an infrared sensor. For instance, one of the two second detection devices 52 can act as a transmitter of a through-beam infrared sensor, and the other as a receiver; alternatively, the two second detection devices 52 can be two independently operating sensors, thereby further improving detection accuracy. This can be configured according to actual conditions, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0042] In some examples, the second detection device 52 can be installed between the inner wall panel 12 and the cabinet body 11. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 8 The inner wall sealing plate 12 of the cabinet is provided with a second transparent window plate 122 corresponding to the second detection device 52. The second transparent window plate 122 is made of plastic, which facilitates signal penetration and ensures that the inner wall of the cabinet 11 is flat and smooth, making it easy to clean.

[0043] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The recycling machine also includes a drive assembly 7, which is housed within the cabinet cavity 111. The drive assembly 7 includes a motor 71, a lead screw 72, a lead screw nut 73, a transmission plate 74, a slider 751, a slide rail 752, and a connecting rod 76. The motor 71 is fixed to the cabinet 11. One end of the lead screw 72 is fixed to the output end of the motor 71, and the other end of the lead screw 72 is rotatably connected to the cabinet 11 via a bearing seat 77, which forms a stable support to ensure smooth power transmission and reduce eccentric sway of the lead screw 72. The lead screw nut 73 is drively connected to the lead screw 72, and the middle part of the transmission plate 74 is fixed to the lead screw nut 73. There are two sliders 751, each fixed to the transmission plate 74 and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lead screw nut 73. Correspondingly, there are two slide rails 752, each fixed to the cabinet 11. The two slide rails 752 are slidably connected to the two sliders 751 in a one-to-one correspondence, which can evenly distribute the load to avoid uneven load deformation of the transmission plate 74, improve the smoothness of the movement of the transmission plate 74, and prevent the transmission plate 74 from jamming. There are two connecting rods 76, symmetrically arranged at both ends of the transmission plate 74. One end of each connecting rod 76 is rotatably connected to the transmission plate 74, and the other end of each connecting rod 76 is rotatably connected to the delivery door 3. When the motor 71 drives the lead screw 72 to rotate, the lead screw nut 73 moves linearly along the lead screw 72, thereby driving the transmission plate 74 to move in a direction away from or close to the delivery port 211, which in turn drives the two connecting rods 76 to swing and drive the delivery door 3 to rotate, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the delivery door 3.

[0044] In one implementation, first rotating shafts 31 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the delivery door 3, with the first rotating shafts 31 positioned near the upper end of the delivery door 3. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3 The recycling machine also includes first bearing seats 13 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the delivery door 3. The first bearing seats 13 are fixed to the cabinet body 11, and each first bearing seat 13 corresponds to a first rotating shaft 31. The first bearing seat 13 has a first shaft hole that mates with the corresponding first rotating shaft 31. The first rotating shaft 31 is inserted into the corresponding first shaft hole and can rotate around its own axis within the corresponding first shaft hole. Two second bearing seats 32 are also fixed on the side of the delivery door 3 opposite to the delivery opening 211. Each second bearing seat 32 has a second shaft hole. A second rotating shaft 761 is provided at the end of each connecting rod 76 that is connected to the delivery door 3. The second rotating shaft 761 is inserted into the corresponding second shaft hole and can rotate around its own axis within the corresponding second shaft hole. Two third shaft seats can also be provided on the transmission plate 74. The third shaft seats are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the connecting rods 76. Each third shaft seat has a third shaft hole. A third rotating shaft is provided on the side of each connecting rod 76 that is connected to the transmission plate 74. The third rotating shaft is inserted into the corresponding third shaft hole and can rotate around its own axis in the corresponding third shaft hole.

[0045] As one implementation method, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The recycling machine may also include a fourth detection device 54, which can be used to detect whether the delivery door 3 is closed. As an example, the fourth detection device 54 is disposed within the cabinet cavity 111 and fixed to the cabinet body 11. The fourth detection device 54 is a photoelectric sensor, and a baffle 741 that can move synchronously with the transmission plate 74 is fixed to one end of the transmission plate 74. When the delivery door 3 is closed, the baffle 741 is located exactly within the sensing slot of the fourth detection device 54, blocking the light path of the fourth detection device 54, causing the fourth detection device 54 to output a signal indicating that the delivery door 3 is closed. When the delivery door 3 gradually opens, the baffle 741 moves out of the sensing slot of the fourth detection device 54 along with the transmission plate 74, the light path of the fourth detection device 54 is restored, and the fourth detection device 54 no longer outputs a signal indicating that the delivery door 3 is closed.

[0046] As one implementation method, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The recycling machine may also include a fifth detection device 55, which can be used to detect whether the delivery door 3 is open. As an example, the fifth detection device 55 is disposed within the cabinet cavity 111 and fixed to the cabinet body 11. The fifth detection device 55 is a photoelectric sensor. When the delivery door 3 is opened, the baffle 741 moves with the transmission plate 74 into the sensing slot of the fifth detection device 55, blocking the light path of the fifth detection device 55, causing the fifth detection device 55 to output a signal indicating that the delivery door 3 is open. When the delivery door 3 gradually closes, the baffle 741 moves out of the sensing slot of the fifth detection device 55, the light path of the fifth detection device 55 is restored, and the fifth detection device 55 no longer outputs a signal indicating that the delivery door 3 is open.

[0047] As one implementation method, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The recycling machine may also include a sixth detection device 56, which is positioned between the fourth detection device 54 and the fifth detection device 55, and is also located on the moving path of the baffle 741. When the delivery door 3 is opening or closing, if the baffle 741 moves with the transmission plate 74 to the sensing slot of the sixth detection device 56, it will block the light path of the sixth detection device 56, causing the sixth detection device 56 to output a signal indicating that the baffle 741 has reached the intermediate position. After receiving this signal, the control system controls the drive motor 71 to begin deceleration, thereby avoiding inertial impact.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the recycling machine includes a fourth detection device 54, a fifth detection device 55, and a sixth detection device 56. These three detection devices are arranged in a straight line within the cabinet cavity 111 and fixed to the top of the cabinet body 11. The direction in which the straight line extends is the same as the direction in which the slide rail 752 extends. The sixth detection device 56 is located between the fourth detection device 54 and the fifth detection device 55. The fourth detection device 54 is positioned near the delivery door 3 in the line, and the fifth detection device 55 is positioned near the drive motor 71 in the line. One end of the transmission plate 74 is fixed with a baffle 741 that moves synchronously with the transmission plate 74. The baffle 741 is spaced from the outer wall of the slider 751 mounted on the transmission plate 74. When the delivery door 3 opens or closes, the transmission plate 74 slides along the guide rail 752, thereby causing the baffle 741 to be sensed by detection devices at different positions. Specifically, when the delivery door 3 is opened, the baffle 741 extends into the sensing areas of the fourth detection device 54, the sixth detection device 56, and the fifth detection device 55 in sequence; when the delivery door 3 is closed, the baffle 741 extends into the sensing areas of the fifth detection device 55, the sixth detection device 56, and the fourth detection device 54 in sequence.

[0049] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 1 The cabinet body 11 also has a recycling opening 112 communicating with the cabinet cavity 111, and the recycling opening 112 is located at the lower end of the delivery side of the cabinet body 11. The recycling machine also includes a cabinet door 8, which is rotatably connected to the cabinet body 11, thereby opening and closing the recycling opening 112. This embodiment facilitates the user in recycling items from the recycling opening 112, and also allows the cabinet door 8 to effectively close the recycling opening 112, preventing external dust, liquids, or foreign objects from entering the cabinet cavity 111.

[0050] As one implementation method, please refer to Figure 1 The cabinet door 8 includes a first cabinet door 81 and a second cabinet door 82. The first cabinet door 81 is rotatably connected to the cabinet body 11 via a first hinge 141, and the second cabinet door 82 is rotatably connected to the cabinet body 11 via a second hinge 142. The second cabinet door 82 is used to cooperate with the first cabinet door 81 to open and close the retraction opening 112. Dividing the cabinet door 8 into two halves can distribute the opening and closing force, avoid excessive force on a single point, and extend the service life of the cabinet door 8. As an example, the first cabinet door 81 is the left cabinet door, and the second cabinet door 82 is the right cabinet door.

[0051] As one implementation method, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10The recycling machine also includes a magnetic suction component 83, which includes a pressure plate 831 and a magnetic strip 832. The pressure plate 831 is located on the side of the first cabinet door 81 away from the first hinge 141. When the second cabinet door 82 and the first cabinet door 81 are closed, the pressure plate 831 is pressed between the cabinet body 11 and the second cabinet door 82. The magnetic strip 832 is fixed to the side surface of the pressure plate 831 away from the recycling opening 112. When the second cabinet door 82 and the first cabinet door 81 are closed, the magnetic strip 832 is attracted to the second cabinet door 82. It can provide a continuous and uniform attraction force when the first cabinet door 81 and the second cabinet door 82 are closed, so that the first cabinet door 81 and the second cabinet door 82 are tightly fitted, preventing the cabinet door 8 from being opened accidentally, thereby further improving the sealing and safety.

[0052] As one implementation method, please refer to Figure 1 The recycling machine also includes a second shielding component 42, a third shielding component 43, and a fourth shielding component 44. The second shielding component 42 is disposed on the side of the cabinet 11 facing the first cabinet door 81 and the second cabinet door 82, and surrounds the recycling opening 112. The third shielding component 43 is disposed on the side of the first cabinet door 81 facing the recycling opening 112, and the fourth shielding component 44 is disposed on the side of the second cabinet door 82 facing the recycling opening 112. When the first cabinet door 81 and the second cabinet door 82 are closed, the fourth shielding component 44 and the third shielding component 43 simultaneously press against the second shielding component 42 to form a surrounding seal, thereby further improving the shielding and sealing effect.

[0053] As an example, the second shielding element 42, the third shielding element 43 and the fourth shielding element 44 are all shielding cotton.

[0054] As one implementation method, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 12 The recycling machine also includes a first shielding baffle 811 and a second shielding baffle 821. The first shielding baffle 811 is fixed to the lower end of the first cabinet door 81 and extends along the direction close to the lower end of the cabinet body 11. The second shielding baffle 821 is fixed to the lower end of the second cabinet door 82 and extends along the direction close to the lower end of the cabinet body 11. When the first cabinet door 81 and the second cabinet door 82 are closed, the first shielding baffle 811 and the second shielding baffle 821 are located at the lower end of the cabinet body 11, which can effectively prevent dust, sewage, particulate matter, etc. from entering the cabinet cavity 111 from the bottom of the cabinet door 8 and the cabinet body 11.

[0055] As an example, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 12The recycling machine also includes a fifth shielding component 45 and a sixth shielding component 46. The fifth shielding component 45 is located at the upper end of the first shielding baffle 811, and the sixth shielding component 46 is located at the upper end of the second shielding baffle 821. When the first cabinet door 81 and the second cabinet door 82 are closed, the fifth shielding component 45 and the sixth shielding component 46 are pressed against the lower end of the cabinet body 11. That is, the fifth shielding component 45 fills the space between the first shielding baffle 811 and the cabinet body 11, and the sixth shielding component 46 fills the space between the second shielding baffle 821 and the cabinet body 11, thereby forming a continuous seal at the bottom of the cabinet body 11, completely eliminating the gaps between the first shielding baffle 811 and the second shielding baffle 821 and the lower end of the cabinet body 11, ensuring the recognition accuracy of the reader 6 and its long-term reliable operation. In some examples, both the fifth shielding component 45 and the sixth shielding component 46 are shielding cotton.

[0056] As one implementation method, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The recycling machine also includes a third detection device 53 for detecting whether the cabinet door 8 is closed. As an example, the third detection device 53 can be a position detection sensor. For instance, the third detection device 53 may include a first door contact switch 531 and a second door contact switch 532, both of which are mounted on the cabinet body 11. The first door contact switch 531 corresponds to the first cabinet door 81 and is used to detect whether the first cabinet door 81 is closed in place. The second door contact switch 532 corresponds to the second cabinet door 82, and the first door contact switch 531 is used to detect whether the second cabinet door 82 is closed in place.

[0057] As one implementation method, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 11The recycling machine also includes an electric suction lock 151 and a suction block 152. The suction block 152 is disposed on the second cabinet door 82, and the electric suction lock 151 is disposed on the cabinet body 11, with the electric suction lock 151 corresponding to the suction block 152. After the first cabinet door 81 is pressed against the first door contact switch 531 and the second cabinet door 82 is pressed against the second door contact switch 532, the electric suction lock 151 will attract the suction block 152 to lock the second cabinet door 82. That is to say, the electric suction lock 151 will only attract the suction block 152 after the first door contact switch 531 detects that the first cabinet door 81 is closed and the second door contact switch 532 detects that the second cabinet door 82 is closed. Since the second cabinet door 82 is pressed against the pressure plate 831 fixed to the first cabinet door 81 when closed, and is attracted and fixed to the first cabinet door 81 by magnetic strip 832, after the second cabinet door 82 is locked, the pressure plate 831 will press the first cabinet door 81 simultaneously, so that the first cabinet door 81 and the second cabinet door 82 are locked together. Therefore, this embodiment only requires one lock (electric suction lock 151) to lock the first cabinet door 81 and the second cabinet door 82 at the same time. This not only simplifies the mechanical structure, reduces the number of parts and assembly process, and reduces manufacturing costs, but also avoids the increased risk of lock failure caused by setting a separate lock for each door, thereby improving the overall safety and long-term reliability.

[0058] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 A first guide groove 113 is formed on the bottom wall of the cabinet cavity 111. The first guide groove 113 is recessed downward relative to the bottom wall of the cabinet body 11, and extends horizontally to the through-recycling opening 112. Please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 13 The recycling machine also includes a guide assembly 16 and a recycling cart 9. The recycling cart 9 is used to collect items deposited into the cabinet cavity 111, and a wheel set 91 is provided at the lower end of the recycling cart 9. The guide assembly 16 is rotatably connected to the cabinet body 11 via a third hinge 143, and the guide assembly 16 is located at the lower end of the recycling opening 112. The guide assembly 16 is provided with a second guide groove 161, which communicates with the first guide groove 113. The guide assembly 16 can be flipped downward relative to the cabinet body 11. Figure 13 In the first position shown, the guide assembly 16 can also be flipped upward relative to the cabinet 11. Figure 1The second position is shown. When the guide assembly 16 is in the first position, the guide assembly 16 is located outside the cabinet 11 and its lower end can be supported on the ground or other supports. The second guide groove 161 communicates with the first guide groove 113, and the second guide groove 161 extends downward at an angle relative to the first guide groove 113. The wheel set 91 of the recycling vehicle 9 can enter the second guide groove 161 along the first guide groove 113, and slide out of the cabinet 11 under the guidance of the inclined second guide groove 161 and move smoothly to the ground or other supports, making it easy to move the recycling vehicle 9 out of the cabinet cavity 111. This is convenient to operate and can effectively avoid pollution caused by secondary handling and transportation of recycled items. After the recycled items are taken out of the recycling vehicle 9, the recycling vehicle 9 can be pushed back into the cabinet cavity 111 along the second guide groove 161 and the first guide groove 113, so that the recycling vehicle 9 returns to the working position where it can receive recycled items, which facilitates the reuse of the recycling vehicle 9. After the recycling cart 9 is moved to its working position, the guide component 16 can be flipped upwards from the first position to the second position, so that the guide component 16 is housed in the cabinet cavity 111 and located on the side of the recycling cart 9 near the recycling opening 112, thereby realizing the storage of the guide component 16. The guide component 16 in the second position neither occupies additional space outside the cabinet nor obstructs the opening and closing of the cabinet door 8, and can also provide a certain degree of shielding and protection for the recycling opening 112.

[0059] As one implementation method, please refer to Figure 13 The second guide groove 161 includes a first groove segment 1611 and a second groove segment 1612. The second groove segment 1612 is located at the end of the first groove segment 1611 away from the first guide groove 113. The width of the first groove segment 1611 is equal to the width of the first guide groove 113. The width of the second groove segment 1612 gradually increases in the direction away from the first groove segment 1611. The second groove segment 1612 can provide a wider entrance when the recycling vehicle 9 is pushed back into the cabinet cavity 111 from outside the recycling machine, making it easier for the wheel assembly 91 to enter the second groove segment 1612. It can also gradually guide the wheel assembly 91 into the first groove segment 1611, reducing the difficulty of aligning the recycling vehicle 9 with the second guide groove 161 and improving the ease of operation.

[0060] As an example, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 13 The guide assembly 16 includes two spaced and symmetrically arranged guide plates 162, which are connected and fixed by a connecting rib 163. Each guide plate 162 has a second guide groove 161. The connecting rib 163 is connected to the lower end of the recycling opening 112 of the cabinet 11 by a third hinge 143. In some examples, the third hinge 143 can be a damping hinge.

[0061] As an example, please refer to Figure 7A limiting baffle 17 is also provided in the first guide groove 113. The limiting baffle 17 is located at the end of the first guide groove 113 away from the second guide groove 161. During the process of pushing the recycling cart 9 back into the cabinet cavity 111 from the outside, when the wheel assembly 91 abuts against the limiting baffle 17 of the first guide groove 113, the recycling cart 9 will be unable to move further inward, and the recycling cart 9 will be in the working position at this time. This embodiment can ensure that the position of the recycling cart 9 is consistent after each reset, so that the recyclables put in through the delivery port 211 can fall accurately into the recycling cart 9, avoiding the recyclables failing to fall into the recycling cart 9 due to positional deviation. Moreover, the limiting baffle 17 can also effectively prevent the recycling cart 9 from continuing to move inward and colliding with the cabinet 11 or other structures inside the cabinet 11, thereby improving the service life of the recycling machine.

[0062] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 14 The recycling vehicle 9 includes a recycling bag 92 and a vehicle body 93. The vehicle body 93 includes a square base plate 931, four uprights 932, and four connecting rods 933. Wheel sets 91 are located at the lower end of the base plate 931. The four uprights 932 are fixed to the four corners of the base plate 931, and all four uprights 932 extend vertically upwards. The four connecting rods 933 are located at the upper ends of adjacent uprights 932. Of the four connecting rods 933, three are fixed connecting rods 9331, and one is a movable connecting rod 9332. The fixed connecting rod 9331 is fixedly connected to the uprights 932, while the movable connecting rod 9332 is detachably connected to the adjacent fixed connecting rod 9331. Each connecting rod 933 has a hook 934 at its lower end, and all hooks 934 work together to hang the recycling bag 92. To install the recycling bag 92, first hook the loop at the opening of the bag onto the hooks 934 of the three fixed connecting rods 9331. Then connect the movable connecting rod 9332 to the adjacent fixed connecting rod 9331, and hook the loop at the opening of the recycling bag 92 onto the hook 934 at the lower end of the movable connecting rod 9332. This completes the installation of the recycling bag 92. To remove the recycling bag 92 from the recycling vehicle 9, simply remove the movable connecting rod 9332 first, and then remove the recycling bag 92 filled with recyclables from the hooks 934 of the fixed connecting rod 9331. This makes the operation more convenient.

[0063] As an example, please refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15The vehicle body 93 also includes two limiting seats 935, which are respectively fixed to the connection points of the fixed connecting rod 9331 and the column 932, which are connected to the movable connecting rod 9332. Each limiting seat 935 has an upward-facing limiting groove 9351. Two limiting pins 936 are also provided at both ends of the movable connecting rod 9332. The limiting pins 936 are located at the lower end of the movable connecting rod 9332, and each limiting pin 936 corresponds to one of the limiting seats 935. The limiting pins 936 can extend and retract relative to the movable connecting rod 9332. After placing both ends of the movable connecting rod 9332 into the corresponding limiting grooves 9351, the extended limiting pins 936 cooperate with the movable connecting rod 9332 to fix the limiting seat 935 between the limiting pins 936 and the movable connecting rod 9332. This ensures the movable connecting rod 9332 remains stable in the connected state, preventing it from accidentally dislodging from the limiting seat 935 when the recovery vehicle 9 moves or is subjected to external force. To remove the movable connecting rod 9332, first retract the limiting pins 936 at both ends of the movable connecting rod 9332, separating the limiting pins 936 from the limiting seat 935. Then, pull the movable connecting rod 9332 out of the limiting groove 9351 to release the connection between the movable connecting rod 9332 and the limiting seat 935. This method is convenient to use.

[0064] As an example, the wheel assembly 91 includes four wheels 911, which are respectively fixed to the four corners of the lower end of the base plate 931.

[0065] In some implementations, the reader 6 is used to read the item tag after the second detection device 52 detects that an obstruction has passed by, the third detection device 53 detects that the cabinet door 8 is closed, and the fourth detection device 54 detects that the delivery door 3 is closed.

[0066] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 16 The recycling machine also includes a panel 18, which is fixed to the cabinet 11. The panel 18 is located near the upper end of the cabinet 11 and is equipped with a card reader 181, a touch screen 182 and a fingerprint reader 183.

[0067] As an example, the recycling machine's workflow is as follows: Users can verify their identity via fingerprint reader 183 or card reader 181, or directly trigger the first detection device 51 outside the delivery door 3 to make deliveries. Upon receiving the trigger signal, the recycling machine's control system starts motor 71 to open the delivery door 3. After the delivery door 3 opens, the user places the recyclables into the recycling bag 92 inside the recycling cart 9 through the delivery slot 211. Once the first detection device 51 detects no further obstruction after the item passes through, it triggers the control system to close the delivery door 3, completing a single recycling delivery. When the second detection device 52 detects fallen recyclables, the third detection device 53 confirms the cabinet door 8 is closed, and the fourth detection device 54 confirms the delivery door 3 is also closed, the control system activates reader 6 to identify the RFID tag on the recyclables, recording and uploading the item information to the system. If the number of recyclables reaches a preset value or the recyclables pile up to continuously obstruct the second detection device 52, the control system triggers the touchscreen display 182 to display "Recycling machine full," and simultaneously issues a cleaning reminder and prevents the delivery door 3 from opening. Even if fingerprint, card swipe, or direct triggering of the first detection device 51 is performed at this time, the delivery door 3 cannot be opened. After the bin is full, only authorized operators can log in and verify via fingerprint, card swipe, or backend account password. After successful verification, the control system releases the electric suction lock 151. The operator then opens the second cabinet door 82 and the first cabinet door 81 in sequence, flips the guide assembly 16 to the first position, and pulls out the recycling cart 9 to the designated location. Subsequently, the limit pin 936 is retracted, the movable connecting rod 9332 is removed, the full recycling bag 92 is removed from the hook 934 and replaced with an empty recycling bag 92, and the recycling cart 9 is pushed back into the cabinet cavity 111 through the second guide groove 161 and the first guide groove 113. Then, the guide assembly 16 is flipped back to the second position and the cabinet door 8 is closed. When both the first door contact switch 531 and the second door contact switch 532 detect that the door is closed, the control system controls the electric suction lock 151 to complete the locking. After locking is completed, the control system starts the reader 6 to read the tag. If no item tag is read and the second detection device 52 is unobstructed, the cleaning is determined to be completed and the recycling machine resumes its normal recycling and delivery function.
