[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a can recycling device includes a table top 1 and a compression groove 2 located on the surface of the table top 1, the compression groove 2 includes a movable groove 21 and a discharge port 24, the feed port 22 and the discharge port 24 are respectively located above and below the movable groove 21, the movable groove 21 is provided with a to-be-compressed area 23, the feed port 22, the to-be-compressed area 23 and the discharge port 24 are located at the same axial position, the opening size of the discharge port 24 is smaller than the to-be-compressed area 23, a pressing block 25 is slidably arranged in the movable groove 21, the size of the pressing block 25 matches the size of the feed port 22, and the pressing block 25 is fixed to the propulsion mechanism 26.
[0023] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to compress the cans, the cans are first placed in the feed port 22 along the direction of movement of the pressing block 25, and then the pressing block 25 is driven by the propulsion mechanism 26 to move in the movable groove 21. When the cans are placed in the area to be compressed 23, the cans will enter the discharge port 24 below the area to be compressed 23. The pressing block 25 is driven by the propulsion mechanism 26 to move, so that the cans placed horizontally in the area to be compressed 23 can be squeezed. After being squeezed, the cans will become squeezed and flattened into a columnar shape, so their volume will become smaller and they will fall from the discharge port 24. Therefore, the cans can be quickly flattened and recovered.
[0024] Specifically, the propulsion mechanism 26 includes a cross bar 261, a travel groove 262, a movable block 263, a connecting rod 264 and a motor 265. The cross bar 261 is horizontally arranged along the inner diameter direction of the movable groove 21 and one end is fixed to the pressure block 25, and the other end passes through the movable groove 21 and is fixed to the travel groove 262. A movable block 263 is movably arranged in the travel groove 262. The first end of the connecting rod 264 is fixed to the movable block 263, and the second end is fixed to the output end of the motor 265.
[0025] In this embodiment, the motor 265 drives the connecting rod 264 and the movable block 263 to rotate, which will cause the movable block 263 set at the other end of the connecting rod 264 to continuously move. Since the movable block 263 is slidably set in the travel groove 262, the travel groove 262 will move in a circular motion with the fixed positions of the connecting rod 264 and the movable block 263, and the cross bar 261 passes through the wall of the movable groove 21 and can only move horizontally. Therefore, the rotation of the connecting rod 264 will cause the pressing block 25 to continuously reciprocate, so that the cans placed in the area to be compressed 23 can be compressed repeatedly. When the cans entering the area to be compressed 23 are compressed, the cans are deformed so that they can go out from the discharge port 24. At this time, the pressing block 25 moves backward and resets, and the next can located above the previous can enters the area to be compressed 23 for compression, so that the cans can be compressed continuously and quickly by repeating this process.
[0026] Specifically, the cross section of the feed port 22 is rectangular and its size matches that of the pressing block 25 .
[0027] In this embodiment, the length of the feed port 22 can just accommodate a can, and the height of the feed port 22 can be set as needed, so that a number of cans can be placed in the feed port 22 at one time, thereby playing a buffering role during the continuous compression process to prevent the sudden absence of cans from affecting the recycling efficiency.
[0028] Specifically, a limiting component 3 is arranged above the compression groove 2 , the limiting component 3 has upper and lower ends connected and the upper opening is larger than the lower opening, and the lower cross section of the limiting component 3 is the same as the cross section of the feed port 22 .
[0029] In the present embodiment, in order to allow the cans to be placed into the feed port 22 without adjustment, a limiting component 3 is provided. When the cans enter along the inclined surface of the inner surface of the limiting component 3, they will enter the feed port 22 horizontally without the need to manually adjust the cans that enter the feed port 22 vertically.
[0030] Specifically, a support leg 4 is provided at the bottom of the table top 1 , and the support leg 4 supports the table top 1 to a predetermined height. A collector 5 is provided below the table top 1 , and the collector 5 is connected to the discharge port 24 .
[0031] In this embodiment, in order to collect the compressed cans, a collector 5 is provided.
[0032] In summary: when it is necessary to compress the cans, first, the cans are placed in the feed port 22 along the direction of movement of the pressing block 25, and then the pressing block 25 is driven by the propulsion mechanism 26 to move in the movable groove 21. When the cans are placed in the area to be compressed 23, the cans will enter the discharge port 24 below the area to be compressed 23. The pressing block 25 is driven by the propulsion mechanism 26 to move, so that the cans placed horizontally in the area to be compressed 23 can be squeezed. After squeezing, the cans will become squeezed and flattened into a columnar shape, so their volume will become smaller and they will fall from the discharge port 24. Therefore, the cans can be quickly flattened and recycled.
[0033] The above description enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
