Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of solid waste treatment, and more particularly to a self-cleaning used clothing recycling bin. Background Technology

[0002] Used clothing recycling bins are public facilities specifically designed to collect residents' discarded clothing. They are typically located in densely populated areas such as communities, streets, or schools. The bins are usually made of metal or plastic and have a drop-off opening. They can hold a certain amount of used clothing. The emergence of these recycling bins stems from the practical need for the resource-based processing of idle textiles. They aim to collect clothing that residents no longer use, providing a foundation for subsequent sorting, cleaning, reuse, or environmentally friendly processing.

[0003] Existing used clothing recycling bins are prone to accumulating dust, dirt, and moisture due to long-term accumulation of clothing, leading to bacterial growth, odor, and potentially accelerating the corrosion and aging of the bin materials. They also require regular manual maintenance, and failure to clean them in a timely manner will further affect the hygiene quality of the recycled clothing and the normal operating efficiency of the facilities.

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0028] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When detailing the embodiments of the present invention, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not according to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, actual fabrication should include three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0029] Example 1 Reference Figures 1 to 7 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a self-cleaning used clothing recycling bin. This device includes... The carrying mechanism 100 includes a housing 110, limiting components 120 disposed on both sides of the inner cavity of the housing 110, and a clothing dispensing component 130 disposed on the outside of the limiting components 120. The dust collection mechanism 200 includes an arc-shaped support shell 210 located at the bottom of the clothing dispensing component 130, a shaft 220 that is laterally rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the arc-shaped support shell 210 near the top, and a dust-absorbing roller 230 sleeved and installed on the outside of the shaft 220. And an air handling unit 300 located on the outside of the housing 110.

[0030] The limiting component 120 in the supporting mechanism 100 precisely guides the reciprocating motion of the clothing dispensing component 130, ensuring its stability during clothing dispensing and smooth resetting. The dust collection mechanism 200 uses an arc-shaped support shell 210 to support the bottom area of ​​the clothing dispensing component 130, collecting dust, fibers, and other fine impurities shaken off during dispensing. Simultaneously, a horizontally rotating shaft 220 installed near the top of the arc-shaped support shell 210 drives the dust-absorbing roller 230 to continuously rotate, actively adsorbing dust entering the area and effectively preventing dust from re-escapeing into the box 110. In addition, the air handling mechanism 300 is located on the outside of the box 110, circulating and filtering the air inside the box 110 to further purify the internal environment, prevent odor accumulation, and achieve contactless self-cleaning of the clothing storage area. Dust removal and air purification can be completed without entering the box 110, and it does not affect the normal storage and retrieval of clothing.

[0031] Specifically, the dust collection mechanism 200 also includes an elastic lever 240 that is horizontally fixedly installed at the bottom of the shaft 220, a connecting pipe 250 that is fixedly installed at the bottom of the arc-shaped support shell 210, and a dust collection box 260 that is movably sleeved in the inner cavity of the connecting pipe 250.

[0032] The elastic lever 240 is horizontally fixedly installed at the bottom of the shaft 220. When the shaft 220 drives the dust suction roller 230 to rotate, the elastic lever 240 rotates synchronously, assisting in scraping the inner wall and bottom area of ​​the arc-shaped support shell 210. This guides the dust and impurities attached to the inner wall to the connecting pipe 250. The connecting pipe 250 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the arc-shaped support shell 210, serving as a channel for the downward transmission of dust. The dust collection box 260 is movably fitted inside the cavity of the connecting pipe 250 to collect and temporarily store the dust that falls into it. When the dust in the dust collection box 260 accumulates to a certain amount, it can be pulled out from the connecting pipe 250 for cleaning. The operation is convenient and does not require disassembling other parts of the box 110, effectively reducing the frequency and difficulty of maintenance.

[0033] Furthermore, the clothing dispensing assembly 130 includes an arc-shaped support plate 131 fixedly installed on the top of the arc-shaped support shell 210, a dispensing hopper 132 movably placed on the top of the arc-shaped support plate 131, a dust-removing soft strip 133 fixedly installed on the bottom of the dispensing hopper 132, and a reset member 134 disposed on the outside of the dispensing hopper 132.

[0034] The arc-shaped support plate 131 is fixedly installed on the top of the arc-shaped support shell 210, providing a stable and curved support surface for the dispensing hopper 132. This ensures that the dispensing hopper 132 remains horizontal when idle, facilitating the user's dispensing of clothing. The dispensing hopper 132 is movably positioned on top of the arc-shaped support plate 131, minimizing resistance during clothing dispensing and allowing the clothing to slide smoothly into the inner cavity of the housing 110. The dust-dispensing soft strip 133 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the dispensing hopper 132. When the dispensing hopper 132 moves due to the user dispensing clothing or driven by the reset component 134, the dust-dispensing soft strip 133 swings accordingly, gently sweeping the top area of ​​the inner cavity of the arc-shaped support shell 210. This lightly sweeps away the dust accumulated at the bottom of the clothing dispensing component 130, facilitating subsequent adsorption by the dust-collecting roller 230. This design utilizes the natural movement of the dispensing hopper 132 to complete the dust-dispensing action, requiring no additional power source, making it energy-efficient and compact.

[0035] Preferably, the reset component 134 includes a bearing 1341 fixedly installed on the outside of the feeding hopper 132, a rotating plate 1342 rotatably installed on the outside of the bearing 1341, and a sleeve 1343 fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating plate 1342. The reset component 134 also includes a reset spring 1344 fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the sleeve 1343, a limiting connecting piece 1345 fixedly installed at the end of the reset spring 1344, and a movable connecting rod 1346 fixedly installed on the outside of the limiting connecting piece 1345. The end of the movable connecting rod 1346 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing 110.

[0036] The bearing seat 1341 is fixedly installed on the outside of the feeding hopper 132, serving as the connection hub between the reset component 134 and the feeding hopper 132, ensuring the stability of power transmission. The rotating plate 1342 is rotatably installed on the outside of the bearing seat 1341, and can rotate at a certain angle relative to the bearing seat 1341, providing rotational freedom for the extension and retraction of the reset component 134, avoiding jamming caused by rigid connection. The sleeve 1343 is fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating plate 1342, serving as the receiving cavity for the reset spring 1344, and providing guidance and support for the overall movement of the reset component 134. Through the above linkage structure, when the feeding hopper 132 is displaced by external force, the reset component 134 can convert the external force into elastic potential energy through the cooperation of the rotating plate 1342 and the sleeve 1343, laying the foundation for subsequent automatic reset. A return spring 1344 is fixedly installed inside the sleeve 1343, providing the core elastic restoring force for the reset component 134. When the user applies force to the dispensing hopper 132, causing it to displace, the return spring 1344 is compressed or stretched, thus storing elastic potential energy. When the external force is removed, the return spring 1344 releases the potential energy, pushing the dispensing hopper 132 to automatically return to its initial position, achieving automatic reset in unattended operation and improving user experience. A limiting connecting piece 1345 is fixedly installed at the end of the return spring 1344 to limit the spring's extension and contraction stroke, preventing damage due to excessive deformation. A movable connecting rod 1346 is fixedly installed on the outside of the limiting connecting piece 1345, with its end fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing 110, providing a stable fixed fulcrum for the entire reset component 134, ensuring the reliability of the reset action. The dispensing hopper 132 can automatically reset to its original position after each use without manual intervention, and the reset action is smooth and reliable.

[0037] It should be noted that the limiting component 120 includes a side plate 121 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the box 110, and an arc-shaped limiting channel 122 opened on the outer side of the side plate 121. The limiting component 120 also includes a limiting block 123 located on the outer side of the arc-shaped limiting channel 122 and fixedly installed on the outer side of the delivery hopper 132, and a guide slider 124 fixedly installed on the outer side of the limiting block 123 and movably engaged in the inner cavity of the arc-shaped limiting channel 122.

[0038] The side plate 121 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the box 110, serving as the mounting base for the limiting component 120 and providing stable support for other components. The arc-shaped limiting channel 122 is opened on the outer side of the side plate 121, and its arc-shaped trajectory is adapted to the swing trajectory of the clothing dispensing component 130, which can accurately guide the movement path of the dispensing bucket 132. When the dispensing bucket 132 is displaced due to the user's clothing dispensing or resetting action, the limiting block 123 and the guide slider 124 on its outer side slide along the arc-shaped limiting channel 122, thereby ensuring that the dispensing bucket 132 always moves along the preset arc-shaped trajectory, avoiding jamming or collision with the inner wall of the box 110 due to deviation, and ensuring the smoothness of the dispensing and resetting process. The limiting block 123 is located outside the arc-shaped limiting channel 122 and is fixedly installed on the outside of the dispensing hopper 132. Serving as a connector between the dispensing hopper 132 and the limiting assembly 120, it bears the main sliding friction force and transmits the movement of the dispensing hopper 132 to the arc-shaped limiting channel 122. The guide slider 124 is fixedly installed outside the limiting block 123 and is movably engaged within the inner cavity of the arc-shaped limiting channel 122. It fits tightly against the inner wall of the arc-shaped limiting channel 122, ensuring that the dispensing hopper 132 is always radially constrained during movement, effectively preventing lateral displacement or shaking. Through the cooperation of the limiting block 123 and the guide slider 124, low-friction, high-precision sliding of the dispensing hopper 132 along the arc-shaped limiting channel 122 is achieved, improving the overall movement stability and service life of the clothing dispensing assembly 130.

[0039] Furthermore, the supporting mechanism 100 also includes a door 140 movably installed on the outside of the box 110, and a storage box 150 placed inside the box 110.

[0040] The door 140 is movably installed on the outside of the box 110, providing staff with access to the inside of the box 110 for regular deep cleaning, inspection, or maintenance. The storage box 150 is placed inside the box 110 for temporary storage of clothing to be packaged or recycled, isolating the formal recycling process from the user's disposal process, keeping the inside of the box 110 clean, and facilitating staff to retrieve the items. Through the cooperation of the door 140 and the storage box 150, the internal space of the box 110 is effectively controlled and utilized, providing convenient conditions for equipment maintenance and clothing recycling without affecting the user's normal disposal.

[0041] In use, when a user puts in clothing, pressing the feeding hopper 132 in the clothing feeding assembly 130 causes the feeding hopper 132 to slide downwards along the arc-shaped limiting groove 122 of the limiting assembly 120 in the supporting mechanism 100. The limiting block 123 on its outer side cooperates with the guide slider 124 to ensure precise movement trajectory. At this time, the dust-removing soft strip 133 fixed to the bottom of the feeding hopper 132 gently sweeps the top of the inner cavity of the arc-shaped support shell 210, lightly sweeping the accumulated dust downwards. Simultaneously, the reset spring 1344 in the reset component 134 is compressed, storing elastic potential energy through the linkage of the bearing seat 1341, rotating plate 1342, sleeve 1343, limiting connecting piece 1345, and movable connecting rod 1346. The clothing slides smoothly into the inner cavity of the box 110 and falls into the storage box 150 for temporary storage. After the user releases the pressure, the reset spring 1344 releases its potential energy, pushing the feeding hopper 132 to automatically reset to its initial position. During this process, the dust collection mechanism 200 operates continuously: the shaft 220 drives the dust suction roller 230 to rotate, actively adsorbing the dust that falls off; the elastic flap 240 at the bottom of the shaft 220 rotates synchronously, scraping the inner wall of the arc-shaped support shell 210, guiding the dust to the connecting pipe 250 and falling into the dust collection box 260 for centralized collection. At the same time, the air handling mechanism 300 operates independently: the photovoltaic integrated panel 370 converts solar energy into electrical energy and stores it in the small storage battery 330, and the rain shield 340 protects the storage battery from rainwater corrosion; the waterproof motor 350 drives the ventilation fan blades 360 to rotate, drawing air out of the box 110 through the ventilation duct 310, and sequentially passing through the filter element 321, adsorption filter 322, and drying adsorption sheet 324 in the ventilation slot 323 in the filter assembly 320 for multi-stage filtration, adsorption, and drying. The clean air is then discharged or circulated through the ventilation duct 310, and the sealing plate 325 ensures airtightness. In addition, staff can enter the cabinet 110 through the cabinet door 140 to perform regular cleaning, maintenance, or remove clothing from the storage box 150, completing the entire closed-loop process.

[0042] In summary, the housing 110 in the bearing mechanism 100 serves as the main accommodating space. The limiting components 120 on both sides of its inner cavity, through the arc-shaped limiting channels 122 on the side plate 121, cooperate with the limiting block 123 and guide slider 124 fixed to the outside of the dispensing hopper 132 to precisely guide the reciprocating motion of the clothing dispensing component 130. This ensures that the dispensing hopper 132 is stably pressed down when the user dispenses clothing and smoothly returns to its original position under the action of the reset component 134. The reset component 134, through the bearing seat 1341, rotating plate 1342, sleeve 1343, and reset spring 13... 44. The linkage between the limiting connecting piece 1345 and the movable connecting rod 1346 enables the automatic reset of the dispensing hopper 132 without manual intervention. In the dust collection mechanism 200, the arc-shaped support shell 210 supports the bottom of the dispensing hopper 132. The shaft 220 near the top of its inner cavity drives the dust-absorbing roller 230 to rotate continuously, actively absorbing the dust shaken off during the dispensing process. The elastic paddle 240 at the bottom of the shaft 220 rotates synchronously, scraping the inner wall of the arc-shaped support shell 210, guiding the dust to the connecting pipe 250 and falling into the dust collection box 260 for centralized cleaning. At the same time, the dust-dispensing soft strip 133 at the bottom of the dispensing hopper 132 moves with it to flexibly sweep the top of the arc-shaped support shell 210, assisting the dust to fall. In the air handling unit 300, the ventilation duct 310 is fixed to the outside of the housing 110. The filter assembly 320 inside the duct achieves multi-stage filtration and drying through a filter element 321, an adsorption filter 322, a drying adsorption sheet 324 within the ventilation slot 323, and a sealing plate 325. A waterproof motor 350 drives the ventilation fan blades 360 to rotate, actively drawing air out of the housing. A small battery 330 is charged by a photovoltaic integrated panel 370, and a rain shield 340 protects the battery, achieving energy self-sufficiency. Furthermore, the door 140 and storage box 150 facilitate internal maintenance and temporary clothing storage. In summary, this solution achieves automatic adsorption, collection, and air purification of dust inside the used clothing recycling bin without the need for an external power source or frequent manual intervention, improving the hygiene level and lifespan of the equipment.

[0043] Example 2 Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the dust collection mechanism 200 actively adsorbs the dust during the disposal process through the suction roller 230 and the elastic paddle 240 scrapes the inner wall, and automatically collects the dust shaken off during disposal into the dust collection box 260, so as to achieve fully enclosed dust removal without the need for manual cleaning.

[0044] Furthermore, the air handling unit 300 includes a ventilation duct 310 fixedly installed on the outside of the housing 110 and away from the side of the dispensing hopper 132, a filter assembly 320 disposed in the inner cavity of the ventilation duct 310, a small storage battery 330 fixedly installed on the outside of the ventilation duct 310, a rain shield 340 fixedly installed on the top of the small storage battery 330, a waterproof motor 350 fixedly installed on the outside of the ventilation duct 310, a ventilation fan blade 360 ​​fixedly installed at the output end of the waterproof motor 350 and located in the inner cavity of the ventilation duct 310, and a photovoltaic integrated panel 370 fixedly installed on the top of the housing 110.

[0045] The ventilation duct 310 is fixedly installed on the outside of the housing 110, away from the discharge hopper 132, serving as an air circulation channel to draw out the air inside the housing 110 for filtration. A filter assembly 320 is installed inside the ventilation duct 310 to trap dust, impurities, and odors in the air, ensuring clean exhaust gas. A small battery 330 is fixedly installed on the outside of the ventilation duct 310, serving as an energy storage unit to provide power to the waterproof motor 350 and the ventilation fan blades 360. A rain shield 340 is fixedly installed on top of the small battery 330 to effectively prevent rainwater from corroding the battery and ensure reliable power supply in outdoor environments. The waterproof motor 350 is fixedly installed on the outside of the ventilation duct 310, with its output end penetrating the side wall of the ventilation duct 310, driving the ventilation fan blades 360 to rotate, achieving active ventilation. A photovoltaic integrated panel 370 is fixedly installed on top of the housing 110, using solar energy to charge the small battery 330, achieving energy self-sufficiency without the need for an external power source, making it energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and suitable for long-term unattended outdoor operation.

[0046] Furthermore, the filter assembly 320 includes a filter element 321 that is movably inserted into the inner cavity of the ventilation duct 310, an adsorption filter sheet 322 that is movably locked on the top of the filter element 321, a ventilation groove 323 that is opened on the outside of the filter element 321, a drying adsorption sheet 324 that is movably locked in the inner cavity of the ventilation groove 323, and a sealing plate 325 that is fixedly installed on the outside of the filter element 321.

[0047] The filter element 321 is movably inserted into the inner cavity of the ventilation duct 310, serving as a primary filtration layer to trap large particles of dust and lint in the air, protecting subsequent filtration layers. The adsorption filter 322 is movably secured to the top of the filter element 321, adsorbing fine particles and odor molecules in the air to enhance purification. The ventilation slot 323 is located on the outside of the filter element 321, serving as an airflow channel to ensure smooth airflow through the filter assembly 320, preventing excessive wind resistance from affecting ventilation efficiency. The drying adsorption sheet 324 is movably secured within the ventilation slot 323 to absorb moisture from the air, keeping the inside of the housing 110 dry and preventing clothing from becoming damp and moldy. The sealing plate 325 is fixedly installed on the outside of the filter element 321. When the filter element 321 is inserted into the ventilation duct 310, the sealing plate 325 fits tightly against the port of the ventilation duct 310, achieving an airtight seal and preventing unfiltered air from escaping through gaps, ensuring filtration effectiveness. Through this modular design, each filter component can be independently removed and replaced, making maintenance convenient.

[0048] During use, the drive motor of the dust collection mechanism 200 drives the shaft 220 to rotate through gear transmission. The dust suction roller 230 actively absorbs the shaken dust, and the elastic paddle 240 simultaneously scrapes the inner wall of the arc-shaped support shell 210, guiding the dust into the dust collection box 260 through the connecting pipe 250 to achieve fully enclosed collection. At the same time, the photovoltaic integrated panel 370 of the air handling mechanism 300 charges the small storage battery 330, which powers the waterproof motor 350 to drive the ventilation fan blades 360 to rotate, drawing the humid, dusty, and odorous air inside the box 110 into the ventilation duct 310. The air passes through the filter element 321 to intercept large particles, the adsorption filter 322 to adsorb small particles and odors, and the drying adsorption sheet 324 to absorb moisture. Finally, clean and dry air is discharged outside the box. The sealing plate 325 ensures no leakage, and each filter component can be removed and replaced independently.

[0049] In summary, through the coordinated operation of the dust collection mechanism 200 and the air handling mechanism 300, fully automatic closed-loop collection of dust during clothing disposal is achieved, along with continuous purification and drying of the air inside the box 110. This effectively solves the problems of dust accumulation, frequent manual cleaning, dampness leading to bacterial growth, and odor diffusion in traditional used clothing recycling bins, thus improving the hygiene level and automation of the equipment. Simultaneously, the independent power supply system combining the photovoltaic integrated panel 370 and the small storage battery 330 achieves energy self-sufficiency, eliminating the need for an external power source. This greatly enhances the adaptability and environmental friendliness of the equipment under long-term unattended outdoor conditions. Maintenance only requires periodic replacement or cleaning of the filter modules and dust collection box 260, making operation convenient and comprehensively reducing maintenance costs.
