[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0027] First embodiment:

[0028] A sorting device, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a device housing 1 arranged at the discharge port of the identification bin 18, and a sorting plate 4 rotatably connected to the top of the recovery bin, a feed port 14 connected to the identification bin 18 is opened on the device housing 1, and a passage door 2 covering the feed port 14 is rotatably connected to the feed port 14, a driving member for driving the passage door 2 to rotate, and an angle control component 6 for controlling the rotation angle of the passage door 2 are provided on the device housing 1.

[0029] The driving component includes a driving motor 5 installed on the device housing 1. The driving motor 5 is a DC motor. The driving motor 5 is equipped with a worm gear reducer. The output shaft of the driving motor 5 is connected to the access door 2 by a key, and the keyway cooperates to realize transmission. The access door 2 is parallel to the device housing 1, and the rotation axis of the access door 2 is perpendicular to the device housing 1. A connecting rod protrudes from the top of the access door 2, which is connected to the reducer through the connecting rod. When the connecting rod is in a vertical state, the access door 2 is closed to completely cover the feed port 14. When the driving motor 5 drives the connecting rod to rotate to the left and right sides, the access door 2 opens the feed port 14, and the container transported from the identification bin 18 enters the sorting device through the feed port 14.

[0030] The angle control assembly 6 includes a first proximity sensor 601, a second proximity sensor 602 and a third proximity sensor 603 installed on the device housing 1. A sensing rod 604 protrudes from the connection between the access door 2 and the gear group, that is, the top of the connecting rod. The sensing rod 604 rotates synchronously with the connecting rod. When the access door 2 closes the feed port 14, the sensing rod 604 approaches the second proximity sensor 602. When the access door 2 turns to the left and right sides to open, the sensing rod 604 approaches the first proximity sensor 601 and the third proximity sensor 603 respectively, controlling the drive motor 5 to stop rotating.

[0031] In other embodiments, the angle control component 6 may also be configured as other types of sensors, and may also include other numbers of sensors, which may be selectively installed according to the types of containers actually detected and actual needs. In this embodiment, three sensors are used, and specifically, they are proximity sensors.

[0032] The access door 2 has a lever 3 protruding toward the sorting plate 4. When the access door 2 is rotated to one side to open, the sorting plate 4 is driven to rotate by the lever 3. The sorting plate 4 is also connected to a tension spring 13 for driving the sorting plate 4 to reset. When the access door 2 is rotated back to the closed state, the tension spring 13 drives the sorting plate 4 to rotate back to the initial state.

[0033] A bracket 11 is vertically fixed on the inner wall of the intelligent recycling machine 20 and above the recycling bin. The sorting plate 4 is rotatably connected to the bracket 11 through a hinge 12. The rotating axis of the sorting plate 4 is vertically arranged. One end of the tension spring 13 is fixed to the top of the sorting plate 4, and the other end is fixed to the top of the bracket 11.

[0034] In this embodiment, a first recycling bin and a second recycling bin are respectively provided on both sides of the sorting plate 4. When the tension spring 13 is in the initial state, the angle of the sorting plate 4 remains in the initial state. After the container enters the sorting device, it will be introduced into the first recycling bin by the sorting plate 4. When the access door 2 drives the sorting plate 4 to rotate through the lever 3, the sorting plate 4 overcomes the tension of the tension spring 13 and rotates, and introduces the container into the second recycling bin on the other side.

[0035] In this embodiment, the lever 3 is close to the right side of the access door 2. When the sorting plate 4 is in the initial state, the lever 3 is located on the right side of the sorting plate 4. When the access door 2 rotates from the second proximity sensor 602 to the third proximity sensor 603 (rotates to the right), the lever 3 does not contact the sorting plate 4, and the sorting plate 4 remains stationary. When the access door 2 rotates from the second proximity sensor 602 to the first proximity sensor 601 (rotates to the left), the lever 3 drives the sorting plate 4 to rotate.

[0036] A guide plate 15 is provided at the bottom of the device housing 1 at the feed port 14. The guide plate 15 is tilted downward toward the inner side of the device housing 1. When the container enters from the feed port 14, it slides forward along the guide plate 15 and falls into the recovery bin after passing through the sorting plate 4.

[0037] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a sliding hole 7 is provided on the device housing 1, and the sliding hole 7 is provided along the rotation path of the access door 2. A guide rail 8 parallel to the sliding hole 7 is provided on the outer wall of the device housing 1 (the side of the device housing 1 facing the identification bin 18 is the outer side, and the access door 2 is arranged on the inner side), and the guide rail 8 is fitted to the lower edge of the sliding hole 7. A pulley 9 protruding from the sliding hole 7 is provided on the access door 2. When the access door 2 rotates, the pulley 9 slides on the guide rail 8. A slider 16 is also provided on the access door 2, and the slider 16 is fitted with the inner side of the device housing 1. The pulley 9 cooperates with the slider 16 to achieve a clamping effect, so that the access door 2 is more stable. At the same time, the guide rail 8 guides the rotation trajectory of the access door 2.

[0038] Buffer blocks 10 are provided at both ends of the guide rail 8. When the passage door 2 rotates to open, the pulley 9 moves to abut against the buffer blocks 10 to absorb the impact force when the passage door 2 rotates.

[0039] The working process of the utility model is as follows:

[0040] Assuming that the first recycling bin recycles cans and the second recycling bin recycles plastic bottles, when the container is identified in the identification bin 18, the conveying mechanism in the identification bin 18 will send the container from the feed port 14 to the sorting device. If the container is identified as a can, the passage door 2 will rotate 60 degrees counterclockwise, and the sensing rod 604 will turn from the position of the second proximity sensor 602 (initial position) to the position of the third proximity sensor 603. At this time, the lever 3 does not contact the sorting plate 4, and the sorting plate 4 remains in the initial state. Then the can is transported into the first recycling bin. After sorting, the passage door 2 rotates back to the position of the second proximity sensor 602.

[0041] Similarly, if the container is identified as a plastic bottle, the access door 2 will rotate 60 degrees clockwise from the position of the second proximity sensor 602 to the position of the first proximity sensor 601, and at the same time the lever 3 will drive the sorting plate 4 to rotate, and the plastic bottles will be transported into the second recycling bin. After the sorting is completed, the access door 2 will rotate back to the position of the second proximity sensor 602, and at the same time the sorting guide plate will be pulled back to its initial position under the action of the tension spring 13.

[0042] Second embodiment:

[0043] An intelligent recycling machine, such as Figure 6 As shown, it includes an identification bin 18 and the sorting device of the above embodiment. The sorting device is arranged at the rear end of the identification bin 18. A bottle throwing port 17 is arranged at the front end of the identification bin 18. A recovery bin is arranged below the sorting device, and a compressor 19 is arranged in the recovery bin.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the design concept of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
