[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the waste collection conveyor includes:

[0050] The conveying member 20 is mounted on the supporting frame 10 and has a conveyor belt for conveying the waste to a collection box 70 on one side;

[0051] The delivery box 50 has a sealed cavity and a delivery port 52 for feeding waste into the sealed cavity. The lower end of the sealed cavity is opened and closed by the opening plate component 40. The delivery box 50 is located above the conveying component 20 through the connection frame 30.

[0052] A plurality of load-bearing plates 17 are located below the outlet of the delivery box 50, and the plurality of load-bearing plates 17 are arranged along the conveying direction and attached to the inner side of the upper conveyor belt;

[0053] Specifically, the support frame 10 can be formed by welding and bolting a rectangular tube, angle steel or other structures, and the support frame 10 is an integral support structure;

[0054] The conveying component 20 is located on the supporting frame 10, and its main structure is a conveyor belt for conveying waste materials, such as Figure 1 As shown, it is defined that the conveying component 20 conveys the waste material horizontally from left to right, and at this time, the collecting box 70 is located on the right side of the supporting frame 10;

[0055] The delivery box 50 is a sealed structure as a whole to avoid pollution caused by the smell of waste. The delivery box 50 can temporarily store waste. When the waste is stored to a certain extent, the opening plate component 40 opens the lower end of the delivery box 50, so that the waste falls on the conveying component 20 under the limit of the connection frame 30; the front side of the delivery box 50 is a delivery port 52 that is controlled to open and close, for example, the delivery port 52 can be opened according to an input signal, or opened after the waste is identified; in addition, an operation display screen is provided on the delivery box 50, which is equivalent to a controller, and can control and display the start and stop of the conveying component 20, the opening and closing of the delivery box 50, etc.

[0056] The connecting frame 30 is located between the delivery box 50 and the conveying component 20 and plays a role of sealing transition.

[0057] The load-bearing plate 17 is attached to the inner side of the upper conveyor belt. It can be made of elastic material. Multiple load-bearing plates 17 are arranged at intervals and configured to buffer the waste to prevent the impact of the waste gravity falling on the conveyor belt. That is, the delivery port 52 of the delivery box 50 is at a certain height from the conveying component 20. When the waste enters the delivery box 50 and falls directly or slides along the inner wall of the delivery box 50, the load-bearing plate 17 effectively receives the waste to prevent the waste from falling and damaging the conveyor belt;

[0058] The waste collection and conveying machine allows waste to enter the delivery box 50 and fall onto the conveyor belt. On the one hand, the waste is received by the load-bearing plate 17 to avoid damage to the conveyor belt caused by the falling waste, and the conveyor belt drives the waste to be transported to the collection box 70, thereby realizing automatic transportation of the waste and avoiding manual contact with it, which is more efficient. On the other hand, a connecting frame 30 is provided between the delivery box 50 and the conveying component 20, and the waste can be initially closed by the connecting frame 30 to avoid the waste falling on the outside of the conveyor belt and causing waste contamination.

[0069] Wherein, the driven roller 25 is rotatably mounted on the fixed seat 62;

[0070] Specifically, the adjusting component 60 is configured to tension the driven roller 25, that is, the adjusting rod 63 can be a telescopic rod of an elastic structure or a screw of a fixed structure, one end of the adjusting rod 63 is rotatably connected to the adjusting plate 61, and the middle part can be threadedly installed on the supporting frame 10 or slid through and locked in place by a plurality of nuts;

[0071] The adjustment plate 61 is movable left and right and connected to the support frame 10, and the fixing seat 62 is used to receive the driven roller 25;

[0072] When the adjusting rod 63 is a telescopic rod with an elastic structure, it can be elastically tensioned, that is, reduce the vibration generated by the conveyor belt. When the conveyor belt is deformed after long-term use, the adjusting rod 63 can adaptively elastically act on the adjusting plate 61 to avoid a decrease in the conveying efficiency of the conveyor belt.

[0073] In some examples of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the active roller 22 is close to the collection box 70;

The locking rod 85 passes through the strip groove 84 to fix the side support plate 83 on the adjustment plate 61; the upper support plate 81 and the arc support plate 82 are respectively connected to the upper side and the side of the pair of side support plates 83;

[0077] Specifically, the protective components 80 are all made of sheet metal, which are used to seal the driven roller 25 in the conveying component 20, effectively protecting the conveying component 20 and preventing other items from being placed on the conveyor belt by mistake;

[0078] The protection component 80 can move with the adjustment plate 61, that is, the side support plate 83 is installed on the adjustment plate 61, and the locking rod 85 passes through the strip groove 84 to fix the side support plate 83 on the adjustment plate 61, so as to realize the position adjustment of the side support plate 83;

[0079] The upper support plate 81 is a flat plate structure and can be glued to a pair of side support plates 83 ; the arc-shaped support plate 82 is close to the driven roller 25 and is consistent with the outer contour of the driven roller 25 .

[0080] In some examples of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the delivery box 50 has a plurality of filter fans 51 and a photoelectric sensor;

[0081] The photoelectric sensor is used to monitor the opening and closing of the delivery port 52 on the delivery box 50 and is connected to the controller;

[0082] The controller controls the action of the filter fan 51;

[0083] Specifically, the filter fan 51 may be disposed at the delivery port 52 and configured to process odor and prevent odor from overflowing;

[0084] As explained, the delivery port 52 can be made of sheet metal; when the delivery port 52 is in a closed state, the filter fan 51 can be started regularly to filter and ventilate the air in the delivery box 50 to prevent odor accumulation;

[0085] When the delivery port 52 is in an open state, the photoelectric sensor senses and transmits a signal to the controller. After receiving the sensing signal, the controller controls the filter fan 51 to increase power and start. That is, at this time, the filter fan 51 can not only filter and ventilate, but also prevent the odor in the delivery box 50 from overflowing.

[0086] In some examples of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the opening plate component 40 includes:

[0087] The movable plate 43 has one end connected to the second driving member 41 and moves to seal the lower end of the sealing cavity;

[0088] The controller controls the action of the second driving member 41;

[0089] Specifically, the movable plate 43 can be slidably mounted on the connecting frame 30 or the delivery box 50, and is configured to open and close the sealed cavity; a slide groove is provided on the connecting frame 30 or the delivery box 50 to match the assembly of the movable plate 43;

[0090] The second driving member 41 may be a driving motor, that is, the output end of the driving motor is connected to a screw rod, and the screw rod is threadedly connected to an ear seat on the moving plate 43, and the moving plate 43 is moved by rotating the screw rod;

[0091] Alternatively, the second driving member 41 is a driving cylinder, that is, the telescopic end of the driving cylinder is connected to the end side of the moving plate 43 through the transmission rod 42, and the moving plate 43 is driven to move by starting the driving cylinder.

[0092] When the waste collection conveyor is used, the delivery port 52 of the delivery box 50 is opened, and the filter fan 51 can be started to generate a certain negative pressure to prevent the odor from emitting, and the waste is placed in the delivery box 50;

[0093] The sealed cavity in the delivery box 50 can be used to initially store the waste. In addition, an ultraviolet lamp can be provided in the delivery box 50 to sterilize the waste.

[0094] The plate opening component 40 is actuated, that is, the second driving member 41 drives the movable plate 43 to open the lower end of the delivery box 50, and the waste falls directly from the delivery box 50 or enters the conveying component 20 along the connecting frame 30;

[0095] The conveying member 20 is started, that is, the first driving member 21 drives the driving roller 22 and the driven roller 25 to rotate, so that the conveyor belt rotates; when the waste falls onto the conveyor belt, the bearing plate 17 can receive the waste to prevent the conveyor belt from being damaged by the falling waste, and then the conveyor belt drives the waste to be transported to the collection box 70;
