Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention patent relates to the field of waste collection and transportation management systems, specifically a smart collection and transportation system platform for recyclables. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, the amount of household waste generated in my country is increasing year by year. Recyclable materials, as resources that have been misplaced, have both economic and environmental benefits when utilized. However, they are limited by two major problems: 1. Residents lack knowledge about waste sorting and have weak awareness, which leads to recyclable materials being mixed with other waste, hindering recycling; 2. Traditional collection and transportation rely on manual patrols, which result in situations where waste overflows and is not cleared, or waste is collected without being cleared. This not only wastes manpower and resources, but also pollutes recyclable materials due to mixed transportation, further reducing their recycling value.

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent collection and transportation system platform for recyclable materials to solve the problems mentioned in the background.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides the following technical solution: an intelligent collection and transportation system platform for recyclables, comprising a sensing unit, an IoT communication module, a smart processing terminal, and an execution unit. The sensing unit includes an intelligent trash can and a camera. The intelligent trash can is equipped with a QR code. The execution unit includes a collection vehicle terminal, a collection personnel terminal, and a dedicated recyclable storage area. The dedicated recyclable storage area is equipped with a smart speaker. The intelligent trash can and the camera are both located within the dedicated recyclable storage area. The intelligent trash can has a built-in signal transmission module and a drive module for controlling the opening and closing of the lid. The intelligent trash can drive module is signal-connected to the signal transmission module. The signal transmission module, camera, collection vehicle terminal, smart speaker, and collection personnel terminal are all signal-connected to the smart processing terminal via the IoT communication module. The dedicated recyclable storage area has a built-in fixed sign and an intelligent display screen.

[0005] Furthermore, the smart trash can has a built-in level gauge that is connected to the signal transmission module.

[0006] Furthermore, the collection vehicle terminal includes a collection vehicle and a GPS module. The collection vehicle has a built-in central control module, and the GPS module is connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) communication module via the central control module and the IoT communication module in sequence.

[0007] Furthermore, the collection vehicle terminal also includes a waste weight weighing module that is connected to the central control module via a signal.

[0008] The beneficial effects achieved by this invention patent are as follows: With fixed signs and smart display screens in dedicated recyclable storage areas providing dual visual guidance, coupled with cameras that identify the type of waste being disposed of in real time and smart speakers that provide instant error correction and broadcasting, residents' sorting behavior is standardized from the source. This effectively solves the problem of mixed disposal caused by residents' lack of knowledge and weak awareness in traditional sorting, ensures the purity of recyclables, and avoids resource waste.

[0009] The smart trash can has a built-in level gauge to monitor the amount of waste collected in real time. Once the threshold is reached, the lid is automatically closed and the information is uploaded. The intelligent processing terminal accurately triggers collection and transportation needs based on the collection threshold of each station. Combined with the GPS positioning of collection vehicles, the weighing module, and the nearest scheduling logic, it realizes the scientific planning of collection routes and operation time, completely solving the problems of empty runs, leakage, and overflowing garbage caused by traditional manual patrols. This greatly improves collection and transportation efficiency and reduces the consumption of manpower and fuel resources.

[0010] A closed-loop process is formed by "physically isolated dedicated storage areas, precise classification guidance, and dedicated collection and transportation after classification", which avoids pollution caused by mixed transportation of recyclables and other waste. At the same time, the weighing module records the weight of the recycled materials, enabling accurate traceability of recycling data, providing data support for resource utilization, and further improving economic and environmental benefits.

[0011] By leveraging the linkage of sensing units, IoT communication modules, smart processing terminals, and execution units, a full-chain intelligent system is constructed, encompassing waste disposal guidance, real-time monitoring, intelligent scheduling, and waste collection traceability. This system can complete waste disposal supervision, collection demand triggering, vehicle scheduling, and data recording without human intervention, thereby reducing sanitation management costs and improving the precision and intelligence of household waste management.

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014] like Figure 1-4As shown, this invention patent discloses an intelligent collection and transportation system platform for recyclables, including: a sensing unit 1, an Internet of Things communication module 2, a smart processing terminal 3, and an execution unit 4. The sensing unit 1 includes a smart trash can 11 and a camera 12. The smart trash can 11 is equipped with a QR code 114. The execution unit 4 includes a collection vehicle terminal 41, a collection personnel terminal 42, and a dedicated recyclable storage area 43. The dedicated recyclable storage area is equipped with a smart speaker (not shown). The smart trash can 11 and the camera 12 are both located in the dedicated recyclable storage area 43. Inside, the smart trash can 11 has a built-in signal transmission module 111 and a drive module 112 for controlling the opening / closing of the lid of the smart trash can 11. The drive module 112 of the smart trash can 11 is connected to the signal transmission module 111. The signal transmission module 111, camera 12, collection vehicle terminal 41, smart speaker and collection personnel terminal 42 are all connected to the smart processing terminal 3 through the Internet of Things communication module 2. The dedicated recyclable material storage area 43 has a built-in fixed sign 431 and a built-in smart display screen 432.

[0015] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the smart trash can 11 has a built-in level gauge 113 that is connected to the signal transmission module 111.

[0016] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the collection vehicle terminal 41 includes a collection vehicle and a GPS module. The collection vehicle has a built-in central control module, and the GPS module is connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) communication module 2 via the central control module and the IoT communication module 2.

[0017] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the collection vehicle terminal also includes a waste weight weighing module that is connected to the central control module via a signal.

[0018] Based on the above structure, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, when residents enter the designated recyclable waste storage area 43 to dispose of their garbage, the first thing they see is a fixed sign 431 that clearly reads "Designated Recyclable Waste Storage Area," reminding them that this area only accepts recyclables. At the same time, the smart display screen 432 scrolls through the categories of recyclables. As residents enter the designated recyclable waste storage area 43 and dispose of their garbage into the smart garbage bin 11, the camera 12 tracks and captures the garbage disposal process in real time and uploads the video data to the smart processing terminal 3 via the IoT communication module 2. The smart processing terminal 3 analyzes the type of garbage disposed of by residents based on the video data. When it identifies that the type of garbage disposed of by residents is not recyclable, the smart processing terminal 3 controls the smart speaker to broadcast a prompt message via the IoT communication module 2, which warns residents that the garbage disposed of is not recyclable and prompts them to dispose of the garbage in the corresponding recycling storage area. During the recycling process in the smart trash can 11 in the dedicated recyclable storage area 43, the level gauge 113 monitors the amount of recyclables (the height of the recyclables piled up inside the smart trash can 11) in real time. When the amount of recyclables in the smart trash can 11 reaches a threshold, the level gauge 113 is activated and sends a signal to the drive module 112 via the signal transmission module 111. The drive module 112 controls the lid of the smart trash can 11 to close. Simultaneously, the signal transmission module 111 uploads the information that the amount of recyclables in the smart trash can 11 has reached the threshold to the smart processing terminal 3 via the IoT communication module 2. The smart processing terminal 3 then processes the smart trash can. The number of smart trash cans 11 that meet the recycling threshold in the dedicated recyclable material storage area 43 is recorded in the trash can 11. When the recycling threshold of the recyclable material storage area 43 is met, the smart processing terminal 3 sends a signal to the collection vehicle terminal 41 and the collection person terminal 42 through the Internet of Things communication module 2. This dispatches collection vehicles and collection persons (the collection persons travel with the collection vehicles, and the dispatch information is sent by the smart processing terminal 3 to the collection person terminal 42. The collection persons go to the recyclable material storage area 43 based on the location navigation in the dispatch information) to the dedicated recyclable material storage area 43 for trash collection. When the collection vehicle and collector arrive at the dedicated recyclable waste storage area 43 for collection, the collector uses the collector terminal 42 to scan the QR code 114 on the smart trash can 11 in the dedicated recyclable waste storage area 43 that meets the recycling standards. The collector terminal 42 transmits the scanning information to the smart processing terminal 3 through the Internet of Things (IoT) communication module 2. The smart processing terminal 3 controls the drive module 112 to open the lid of the smart trash can 11 through the IoT communication module 2 and the signal transmission module 111. The collector moves the smart trash can 11 after opening the lid to the weighing module for weighing. The weight data obtained by the weighing module is transmitted to the IoT communication module 2 via the central control module and then transmitted to the smart processing terminal 3. The smart processing terminal 3 then... The weight data is recorded into the recycling threshold of the collection vehicle. After the smart trash can 11 is cleaned, the collector puts the smart trash can 11 back into the original dedicated recyclable material storage area 43. The smart processing terminal 3 sends a feedback instruction to the collection vehicle terminal based on the recycling threshold of the collection vehicle. If the collection vehicle reaches the recycling threshold (the weight of the garbage stored in the collection vehicle), the smart processing terminal 3 notifies the collection vehicle to return to the centralized processing station for unloading. If the collection vehicle does not reach the recycling threshold, the smart processing terminal 3 dispatches the collection vehicle to the nearest dedicated recyclable material storage area 43 that meets the recycling threshold for garbage collection based on the cleaning threshold of the surrounding dedicated recyclable material storage area 43 and the current GPS location of the collection vehicle. During the operation of the collection vehicles, the GPS module sequentially uploads the location of the collection vehicles to the smart processing terminal 3 through the central control module and the Internet of Things communication module. When the smart processing terminal 3 dispatches collection vehicles to the recyclable storage area 43 that meets the collection threshold, it prioritizes dispatching collection vehicles with a recycling threshold ≥ the collection threshold for collection. Then, it dispatches the nearest collection vehicle based on the location of the collection vehicle that meets the above conditions.

[0019] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
