Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of waste recycling technology, specifically to a self-service intelligent waste recycling bin. Background Technology

[0002] With the full implementation of my country's household waste sorting system and the continuous advancement of the "dual carbon" strategy, the recycling system for renewable resources is undergoing a transformation from extensive management to digital and refined operation.

[0003] Traditional waste recycling has long faced three major pain points: opaque recycling channels, inconsistent pricing, and high barriers to entry for residents. The unstable coverage of door-to-door recycling personnel means residents often have nowhere to dispose of their accumulated waste, or they abandon sorting due to price disputes, resulting in large amounts of recyclables being mixed into household waste and landfilled or incinerated, leading to serious resource waste. Against this backdrop, self-service smart waste recycling bins have emerged. Based on IoT weighing, AI image recognition, and mobile payment technologies, they compress the recycling process into four steps: "scan code - open door - deposit - weigh - payment," enabling 24-hour unattended operation, self-service disposal, and instant settlement for residents. No waiting is required, lowering the barrier to entry. The AI ​​image recognition system inside the bin identifies the type of items being disposed of through a camera and records the entire process of waste disposal. Users operate and select functions by clicking on the touchscreen on the bin, which then sends operation signals to the control chip of the intelligent system to control the operation of the components inside the bin. When the bin is full of waste, the intelligent system sends a recycling signal to the backend to notify staff to empty and recycle the waste in time, and transport it to the recycling station. This allows companies to achieve waste disposal through data-driven operations.

[0004] Currently, existing recycling bins are generally designed with a single dispensing port and a single recycling chamber. The dispensing port is directly connected to the recycling chamber, and various types of waste, such as metal, plastic, and paper, are priced uniformly. They are mixed together and thrown into the recycling chamber, where a weighing mechanism weighs and prices the waste. However, after the mixed waste is transported to the recycling station, it still needs to be manually sorted, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and can easily affect recycling efficiency. Therefore, this does not meet the current needs. To address this, we propose a self-service intelligent waste recycling bin. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a self-service intelligent waste recycling bin that can classify waste as soon as it is put into the bin, minimizing the burden of subsequent manual sorting, simplifying the sorting process, and thus improving recycling efficiency. It solves the problem mentioned in the background art that mixed waste still needs to be manually sorted after being transported to the recycling station, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive and easily affects recycling efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this disclosure provides a self-service intelligent waste recycling bin, including a bin body, a touch screen disposed on the side of the bin body, and a dispensing port opened on the side of the bin body. Two partitions are provided inside the bin body, dividing the bin body into a first recycling chamber, a second recycling chamber, and a third recycling chamber. A recycling frame is rotatably disposed inside the bin body, and a first baffle is rotatably disposed on the side of the recycling frame. A limiting component is provided inside the recycling frame to restrict the rotation of the first baffle. The recycling bin is also equipped with a second baffle that rotates, and a bottom plate that rotates at the bottom. When metal waste is put into the recycling bin through the inlet, the recycling bin rotates to the left and the first baffle opens, allowing the metal waste to fall into the first recycling chamber. When paper waste is put into the recycling bin, the bottom plate opens, allowing the paper waste to fall into the second recycling chamber. When plastic waste is put into the recycling bin, the recycling bin rotates to the right and the second baffle opens, allowing the plastic waste to fall into the third recycling chamber, thereby sorting and recycling the waste.

The first spring is sleeved on the outer side of the rod, and both ends of the first spring are respectively connected to the rod and the inner wall of the sleeve.

[0014] Optionally, the insertion rod is slidably inserted into the rotating shaft of the recycling frame and the fourth gear, and a first limiting block is installed at the end of the insertion rod. A first limiting groove is opened on the inner side of the rotating shaft of the fourth gear to slide with the first limiting block.

[0016] Beneficial effects: Through the above technical solution, the self-service intelligent waste recycling bin provided in this disclosure is used as follows: the inside of the bin is divided into three independent storage spaces—a first recycling chamber, a second recycling chamber, and a third recycling chamber—corresponding to the recycling of metal, paper, and plastic, respectively, by two partitions. A single first motor, in conjunction with a transmission state switching structure of the insertion rod, enables independent driving of two actions: flipping the recycling frame and opening / closing the bottom plate. This eliminates the need for multiple sets of drive actuators, simplifying the internal structure of the equipment, reducing manufacturing costs and equipment failure rates. The limiting component adopts a purely mechanical structure with a counterweight ball sliding with the tilt of the recycling frame, achieving the limiting and unlocking of the first or second baffle. No additional electronic control actuators are required, ensuring high reliability. Waste can be sorted as soon as it is placed into the recycling bin, minimizing the burden of subsequent manual sorting, simplifying the sorting process, and thus improving recycling efficiency.

[0033] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, a self-service intelligent waste recycling bin is provided, see reference. Figures 1-11 As shown, the self-service intelligent waste recycling bin includes a bin body 100, a touch screen 110 located on the side of the bin body 100, and a dispensing port 120 located on the side of the bin body 100. A door panel 121 is slidably provided on the side of the dispensing port 120. The opening and closing of the door panel 121 is controlled by the touch screen 110. A door 122 is rotatably provided on the side of the bin body 100. The door 122 is equipped with a door lock to facilitate opening the bin body 100 and removing the recycled waste inside.

[0034] The container 100 is equipped with two partitions 130, which divide the interior of the container 100 into a first recycling chamber 140, a second recycling chamber 150, and a third recycling chamber 160. The first recycling chamber 140 is used for recycling metal and is located on the far left of the container 100. The second recycling chamber 150 is used for recycling paper and is located in the middle of the container 100. The third recycling chamber 160 is used for recycling plastic and is located on the far right of the container 100. The volume of the second recycling chamber 150 is larger than that of the first and second recycling chambers 140 and 150. Since the container 100 is installed in a residential area, it is most likely to generate paper waste such as cardboard boxes, and cardboard waste is generally large. Therefore, in order to make reasonable use of the storage space within the same container 100, the volume of the second recycling chamber 150, which is used for recycling paper waste, is set to be the largest. The first, second, and third recycling chambers 140, 150, and 160 are all... The container is fitted with a recycling bag (not shown in the figure) to facilitate the collection and transportation of waste. The bottom of the first recycling chamber 140, the second recycling chamber 150 and the third recycling chamber 160 are all equipped with a weighing system to facilitate the weighing and pricing of waste falling into them. The container 100 is also equipped with an intelligent system controlled by a touch screen 110 to control the operation of various components inside the container 100. The above are all technical means well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. A recycling frame 170 is rotatably installed inside the container 100. The length and width of the recycling frame 170 are smaller than the length and width of the first recycling chamber 140, the second recycling chamber 150 and the third recycling chamber 160, so as to control the size of the waste put into the recycling frame 170, thereby ensuring that the waste can smoothly enter the first recycling chamber 140, the second recycling chamber 150 or the third recycling chamber 160. A first baffle 180 is rotatably installed on the left side of the recycling frame 170, and the first baffle 180 can only be flipped to the left.

[0035] A limiting component 190 is provided inside the recycling frame 170. The limiting component 190 includes a first wedge block 191 slidably disposed inside the recycling frame 170, an arc rod 192 fixedly installed outside the first wedge block 191, a counterweight ball 193 gapped outside the arc rod 192, an end piece 194 fixedly installed at the end of the arc rod 192, a second wedge block 195 slidably disposed inside the recycling frame 170 and used in conjunction with the first wedge block 191, a protrusion 196 fixedly installed on the inclined surface of the first wedge block 191, a slot 197 formed on the inclined surface of the second wedge block 195 and slidably engaged with the protrusion 196, a connecting rod 198 fixedly installed outside the second wedge block 195 and slidably inserted into the side wall of the recycling frame 170, and a limiting piece 199 fixedly installed at the end of the connecting rod 198 and located on the side of the first baffle 180. The limiting piece 199 abuts against the outside of the first baffle 180 to limit the flipping of the lower end of the first baffle 180.

[0036] The height of the end of the arc rod 192 near the first wedge block 191 is greater than the height of the end of the arc rod 192 near the end piece 194. A through hole is provided in the middle of the counterweight ball 193, through which the arc rod 192 passes. The diameter of the through hole is larger than the diameter of the arc rod 192, and smaller than the diameter of the end piece 194. The protrusion 196 is slidably engaged in the slot 197 to prevent the first wedge block 191 and the second wedge block 195 from separating. When the first wedge block 191 is reset, it facilitates the pulling of the second wedge block 195. The two wedge blocks 195 also reset. A second baffle 200 is rotatably mounted on the right side of the recycling frame 170, and the second baffle 200 can only be flipped to the right. The first baffle 180 and the second baffle 200 are located on the left and right sides of the recycling frame 170, respectively. The number of limiting components 190 is set to two, and the two limiting components 190 are symmetrically arranged on the side of the recycling frame 170. One limiting component 190 is used to restrict the flipping of the first baffle 180, and the other limiting component 190 is used to restrict the flipping of the second baffle 200. The bottom of the recycling frame 170 is rotatably equipped with a base plate 210. There are two base plates 210, and the pivots of the two base plates 210 are located on the two sides of the recycling frame 170 respectively. A first gear 211 is rotatably equipped inside the recycling frame 170. A second gear 212 is coaxially and interference-fitted with the first gear 211 inside the recycling frame 170. A third gear 213 is rotatably equipped inside the recycling frame 170 and coaxially and interference-fitted with one of the base plates 210. A fourth gear 214 is rotatably equipped inside the recycling frame 170 and meshes with the first gear 211. A fifth gear 215 is coaxially and interference-fitted with the fourth gear 214 inside the recycling frame 170. A sixth gear 216 is rotatably equipped inside the recycling frame 170 and coaxially and interference-fitted with the other base plate 210. A first chain 217 meshes with the second gear 212 and the third gear 213. A second chain 218 meshes with the fifth gear 215 and the sixth gear 216.

[0037] A first motor 220 is fixedly installed inside the side wall of the housing 100. A sleeve 221 is fixedly installed at the output shaft end of the first motor 220. The sleeve 221 is rotatably mounted inside the side wall of the housing 100 via a bearing. A rod 222 is slidably inserted into the inner side of the sleeve 221. A first spring 223 is provided inside the sleeve 221. The first spring 223 is sleeved on the outer side of the rod 222. The two ends of the first spring 223 are respectively engaged with the rod 222 and the inner wall of the sleeve 221. The first spring 223 facilitates the reset of the rod 222. The rod 222 is slidably inserted into the rotating shaft of the recycling frame 170 and the fourth gear 214. A first limiting block 224 is fixedly installed at the end of the rod 222. A first limiting groove 225 is opened on the inner side of the rotating shaft of the fourth gear 214, which slides with the first limiting block 224. The first limiting block 224 is slidably mounted in the first limiting groove 225.

[0038] A second limiting block 230 is fixedly installed in the middle of the insertion rod 222. A second limiting groove 231 is opened in the retrieval frame 170 to slide with the second limiting block 230. The second limiting block 230 is intermittently slidably disposed in the second limiting groove 231. A positioning pin 232 is slidably disposed on the inner side of the retrieval frame 170. A second spring 233 is sleeved on the outer side of the positioning pin 232. The two ends of the second spring 233 are respectively engaged with the positioning pin 232 and the inner wall of the retrieval frame 170. The setting of the second spring 233 facilitates the reset of the positioning pin 232. The first spring 223 and the second spring 233 are both installed by snap-fit. When the first spring 223 or the second spring 233 is engaged, the positioning pin 232 is reset. When the spring 233 fails to perform its intended function due to elastic fatigue after prolonged use, it is convenient to replace the first spring 223 or the second spring 233. The inner wall of the housing 100 is provided with a positioning slot 234 that cooperates with the positioning pin 232. An electromagnet 235 is fixedly installed inside the sleeve 221. A magnetic attracting piece 236 that cooperates with the electromagnet 235 is fixedly installed at the end of the insert rod 222 located inside the sleeve 221. When the electromagnet 235 is energized, it will generate magnetism that attracts the magnetic attracting piece 236, causing the magnetic attracting piece 236 to approach and adhere to the surface of the electromagnet 235. This is a technical means well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] In its initial state, the recycling box 170 remains horizontal, with two limiting plates 199 respectively abutting against the outer sides of the first baffle 180 and the second baffle 200, restricting the flipping of the first baffle 180 and the second baffle 200; the electromagnet 235 is de-energized, causing the magnetic attracting piece 236 to move away from the electromagnet 235; the first limiting block 224 is located within the first limiting groove 225 and the second limiting block 230 is located within the second limiting groove 231. After each type of waste is deposited, the recycling box 170 returns to its initial state before the next deposit. When metal waste is placed into the recycling bin 170 through the inlet 120, the recycling bin 170 turns to the left while the first baffle 180 opens, allowing the metal waste to fall into the first recycling chamber 140. When paper waste is placed into the recycling bin 170, the bottom plate 210 opens, allowing the paper waste to fall into the second recycling chamber 150. When plastic waste is placed into the recycling bin 170, the recycling bin 170 turns to the right while the second baffle 200 opens, allowing the plastic waste to fall into the third recycling chamber 160, thereby sorting and recycling the placed waste.

[0040] A telescopic component 240 is fixedly installed inside the side wall of the housing 100. The telescopic component 240 is configured as an electric lifting rod or a hydraulic rod. A housing 241 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the telescopic component 240. A flexible chain 242 is slidably arranged inside the housing 241. The flexible chain 242 is composed of two intermeshing sub-chains, which are symmetrically slidably arranged inside the housing 241. A second motor 243 is fixedly installed on the outside of the housing 241. The output end of the second motor 243 is rotatably inserted into the housing 241. A seventh gear 244 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor 243. Engaging with one of the sub-chains of the flexible chain 242, a fixed rod 245 is slidably inserted into the side wall of the housing 100. The fixed rod 245 is fixedly connected to the housing 241 via a straight rod, and the fixed rod 245 can only slide up and down. A sliding rod 246 is slidably inserted between the two partitions 130. The sliding rod 246 can first slide horizontally, and then slide downward together with the fixed rod 245. The middle part of the sliding rod 246 is fixedly connected to the output end of the flexible chain 242. A telescopic wire mesh 247 is connected between the fixed rod 245 and the sliding rod 246. The telescopic wire mesh 247 is located above the second recovery chamber 150.

[0041] With the above technical solution, when the user scans the QR code on the touch screen 110 to complete identity authentication, the intelligent system controls the door panel 121 to slide up and open the disposal port 120. The user puts the waste into the recycling box 170 through the disposal port 120, so that the waste falls on the bottom plate 210. After selecting the type of waste to be disposed of through the touch screen 110, the system performs the following corresponding classification and recycling actions according to the selected waste type. When the waste is metal, the electromagnet 235 remains de-energized. The insertion rod 222 is simultaneously inserted into the shaft of the recycling frame 170 and the fourth gear 214. The first limiting block 224 is located in the first limiting groove 225, and the second limiting block 230 is located in the second limiting groove 231, so that the insertion rod 222, the recycling frame 170, and the shaft of the fourth gear 214 remain relatively stationary. The first motor 220 drives the sleeve 221 to rotate to the left, causing the recycling frame 170 to rotate to the left synchronously. At this time, the counterweight ball 193 of the limiting component 190 on the side of the first baffle 180 moves along the inclined arc rod 192 towards the first... When the wedge block 191 slides to one side, and the height of the end of the arc rod 192 near the first wedge block 191 is lower than the height of the end of the arc rod 192 near the end piece 194, the counterweight ball 193 slides along the arc rod 192 under its own weight, abutting against the first wedge block 191, thereby pushing the first wedge block 191 to the lower left. Through the cooperation of the first wedge block 191 and the second wedge block 195, the connecting rod 198 drives the limiting piece 199 to move away from the first baffle 180, releasing the limiting piece 199 from restricting the flipping of the first baffle 180. Under its own weight, it is in a vertical position, forming an opening between itself and the left-tilting recycling frame 170 and the base plate 210. Simultaneously, the metal scrap on the tilted base plate 210 slides downwards and to the left under gravity, falling into the first recycling chamber 140 through the opened first baffle 180, thus completing the recycling of the metal scrap. When the recycling frame 170 rotates in the opposite direction and returns to a horizontal position, the first baffle 180 closes again, and the counterweight ball 193 slides downwards and to the right along the arc rod 192. The counterweight ball 193 pushes the end piece 194 back to its original position, causing the limiting piece 199 to again abut against the outside of the first baffle 180, thus affecting the first baffle. The 180-degree rotation is limited. Moreover, when the electromagnet 235 is de-energized, the first spring 223 will return to its original position, and the second limiting block 230 will be reinserted into the second limiting groove 231. Under the action of the second spring 233, the positioning pin 232 will be pulled out of the positioning slot 234 and reset, so that the recycling box 170 and the first baffle 180 are restored to their initial state, making it easy to put other types of waste into the bins again. If the current bins are put into the bins and no other waste is put into the bins, the door panel 121 will slide down and reset via the touch screen 110 to close the bin opening 120. When the waste is plastic, the electromagnet 235 remains de-energized. Similar to the above operation, the first motor 220 drives the sleeve 221 to rotate to the right, causing the recycling frame 170 to flip to the right simultaneously. At this time, the counterweight ball 193 of the limiting component 190 on the side of the second baffle 200 pushes the first wedge block 191 on that side to slide to the right and downward along the inclined arc rod 192. Through the cooperation of the first wedge block 191 and the second wedge block 195 on that side, the limiting piece 199 on that side is driven to release the flipping limitation of the second baffle 200, so that the second baffle 200 flips open, and the plastic waste falls into the third recycling chamber 160 to complete the recycling. When the waste material is paper, the electromagnet 235 is energized, generating a magnetic attraction force to attract the magnetic plate 236, causing the insertion rod 222 to slide into the sleeve 221, and stretching and storing the first spring 223. The first limiting block 224 remains within the first limiting groove 225, but the insertion rod 222 causes the second limiting block 230 to disengage from the second limiting groove 231, so that the insertion rod 222 only maintains a transmission connection with the shaft of the fourth gear 214. At the same time, the insertion rod 222 causes the second limiting block 230 to push the positioning pin 232 into the positioning slot 234, and compresses and stores the second spring 233, which in turn releases the positioning pin 232 into the positioning slot 234. Insert 32 into the positioning slot 234 to restrict the flipping of the recycling box 170, thereby keeping the recycling box 170 stationary. The first motor 220 drives the fourth gear 214 to rotate through the insertion rod 222. On the one hand, through the cooperation of the fifth gear 215, the second chain 218 and the sixth gear 216, it drives one side of the bottom plate 210 to flip downward. On the other hand, through the meshing transmission of the first gear 211, it drives the second gear 212, the first chain 217 and the third gear 213 to mesh and rotate, so that the other side of the bottom plate 210 flips downward and opens simultaneously, so that the paper waste falls into the second recycling chamber 150 to complete the recycling of paper waste. In addition, when the paper waste falls into the second recycling chamber 150 and the bottom plate closes, the second motor 243 starts. Through the meshing of the seventh gear 244 and the flexible chain 242, the end of the flexible chain 242 drives the sliding rod 246 to extend outward. The sliding rod 246 drives the telescopic wire mesh 247 to unfold above the second recycling chamber 150. Immediately afterwards, the telescopic component 240 drives the housing 241 to descend. The housing 241, through the flexible chain 242, drives the fixed rod 245, the sliding rod 246, and the telescopic wire mesh 247 to descend together. Since the recycled paper waste contains a large amount of large but hollow paper such as express delivery boxes, the process is complex. When the fixed rod 245, sliding rod 246, and telescopic wire mesh 247 descend together, the hollow cardboard box can be flattened and compressed, thereby increasing the storage capacity of the second recycling chamber 150. This avoids the frequent but small-volume removal of paper waste. Moreover, when the compressed paper waste is still overflowing, the intelligent system inside the box 100 will display on the touch screen 110 that the paper waste storage is full, thereby stopping the recycling of paper waste and notifying the back-end personnel to remove it in time. Similarly, when the storage capacity of the first recycling chamber 140 or the third recycling chamber 160 is overflowing, the back-end personnel will also be notified to remove it. In summary, the interior of the container 100 is divided into three independent storage spaces—a first recycling chamber 140, a second recycling chamber 150, and a third recycling chamber 160—by two partitions 130, corresponding to the recycling of metal, paper, and plastic, respectively. This design is well-suited to the characteristics of residential communities where paper waste is generated in the largest quantities and is generally larger in volume. By setting the volume of the second recycling chamber 150 to its maximum, the utilization rate of the internal storage space of the container 100 can be fully improved, reducing the frequency of emptying the container when it is full of paper waste. The recycling process can be achieved through a single first motor 220 and a transmission state switching structure using the insertion rod 222. The independent drive for the two actions of the collection frame 170 flipping and the bottom plate 210 opening and closing eliminates the need for multiple sets of drive actuators, simplifying the internal structure of the equipment, reducing manufacturing costs and equipment failure rate. The limit component 190 adopts a purely mechanical structure with the counterweight ball 193 sliding with the tilt of the collection frame 170 to achieve the limit and unlocking of the first baffle 180 or the second baffle 200. It does not require additional electronic control actuators, has high reliability, and can classify waste as soon as it is put into the recycling bin, minimizing the burden of subsequent manual sorting, simplifying the sorting process, and thus improving recycling efficiency.
