DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0021] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides an embodiment: a collection device for battery recycling, comprising: an outer box body 1, a screening layer 2 is arranged above the outer box body 1, a weighing flip plate 12 is arranged inside the screening layer 2, limit frames 13 are arranged on both sides of the weighing flip plate 12, and the end of the limit frame 13 away from the weighing flip plate 12 is fixed on the inner wall of the screening layer 2, connecting frames 19 are arranged on both sides of the weighing flip plate 12, and the two ends of the connecting frame 19 are connected to the two limit frames 13, a motor 18 for driving the weighing flip plate 12 to flip is arranged on one side of the connecting frame 19, a collecting bucket 9 is arranged below the weighing flip plate 12, a guide frame 15 for leading out the remaining garbage is arranged on one side below the weighing flip plate 12, and two left and right visual cameras 14 for shooting and identifying dry batteries are installed on the inner top wall of the screening layer 2.

[0022] The battery collection device feeds through the feeding layer 3, and the feed will fall onto the weighing flip plate 12. The weighing flip plate 12 is in a horizontal position. The weighing flip plate 12 detects the weight, and the visual camera 14 photographs and collects the feed falling on the weighing flip plate 12, and feeds the collected data back to the controller 7, and photographs and identifies the fallen objects. When the photographed object is not a battery object, the controller 7 controls the motor 18 to turn on and rotate the weighing flip plate 12 to one side of the guide frame 15. Through the rotation, the fallen objects above fall into the guide frame 15 and are guided outward through the guide frame 15. When the photographed object is a battery, the motor 18 drives the weighing flip plate 12 to flip to the other side, so that the battery falls into the collection bucket 9 for recycling.

[0023] The weighing flip plate 12 is provided with a weighing sensor for detecting weight changes and feeding back to the controller 7. The weight change range is the weight range of the individual batteries to be collected. When the weight is heavier or lighter than the set weight range, an export operation is performed to collect batteries of sizes such as No. 5 batteries.

[0024] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 A screening opening flap 6 is installed on the front end surface of the screening layer 2 through a hinge, and one end of the guide frame 15 extends to the screening opening flap 6. A feeding layer 3 is arranged above the screening layer 2, and the unloading point of the feeding layer 3 is located directly above the weighing flip plate 12. A feeding opening flap 5 is installed on the front end surface of the feeding layer 3 through a hinge.

[0025] The size of the feed port is slightly larger than the size of the batteries to be collected, allowing a single battery to enter and preventing large debris from being thrown into the feed port.

[0026] The objects guided outward by the guide frame 15 slide out from the screening port flap 6 for the user to take out. The feed port flap 5 protects the feed port. When not in use, the feed port is closed to prevent impurities from entering.

[0027] The flip cover is reset by a rotating member, wherein the rotating member is a damping reset hinge or a rotating shaft, and an automatic closing operation is achieved after opening by resetting.

[0028] See also Figure 1 A controller 7 is arranged above the screening port flap 6, and the input end of the controller 7 is electrically connected to the output end of the visual camera 14, and the controller 7 is wirelessly connected to the user terminal through a wireless transmission module; a touch screen 16 is arranged on the front end surface of the controller 7, and an external camera 8 is arranged above the controller 7, and the output end of the external camera 8 is electrically connected to the input end of the controller 7.

[0029] The external camera 8 is used to collect information about external material feeding personnel, and the controller 7 is used to feed back the acquired information to the user terminal for the terminal management personnel to know.

[0030] See also Figure 3 A slider 17 is provided at the bottom of the collecting barrel 9 , and the slider 17 is slidably connected to the slide groove at the bottom of the outer box body 1 , and the side wall of the collecting barrel 9 extends to the side opening of the outer box body 1 .

[0032] See also Figure 2 A handle 11 is provided on the side wall of the collecting bucket 9, and a matching lock 10 is installed on the outer wall of the opening between the collecting bucket 9 and the outer box body 1.

[0033] The handle 11 facilitates the user to pull the collection bucket 9 to slide and move, and the lock 10 improves the anti-theft performance. In the closed state, the collection bucket 9 and the outer box body 1 are fixed together by the matching lock 10.

[0034] See also Figure 1 A rainproof roof 4 is arranged above the feed layer 3.

[0035] The rainproof roof 4 is used to achieve the effect of waterproofing and draining the top, protecting the feed inlet and preventing rainwater from entering the interior through the feed inlet.

[0036] Working principle: when in use, open the feed inlet flap 5, put the battery into the inside from the feed inlet, the battery falls from the feed layer 3 onto the weighing flip plate 12, the visual camera 14 takes pictures and collects the feed falling on the weighing flip plate 12, feeds the collected data back to the controller 7, takes pictures and identifies the fallen objects, when the photographed object is not a battery object, the controller 7 controls the motor 18 to start, rotates the weighing flip plate 12 to one side of the guide frame 15, and makes the fallen objects above fall into the guide frame 15 through the rotation, and are led outward through the guide frame 15, when the photographed object is a battery, the motor 18 drives the weighing flip plate 12 to flip to the other side, so that the battery falls into the collection bucket 9 for recycling;

[0037] After a period of recycling, the manager can separate the collection bucket 9 from the outer box 1 by opening the lock 10, and then slide the collection bucket 9 outward by pulling the handle 11 outward, so that the user can handle the batteries collected inside.

[0038] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be regarded as limiting the claim to which it relates.
