The saucer 41 and the bowl 42 are placed upright on the dinner plate 43, which is the upright state of the tableware.

[0022] The tableware sorting device, see Figure 2 and Figure 3, which includes a mounting bracket 31. A tableware receiving member 32 with a front - low - and - rear - high structure is mounted on the mounting bracket 31. The rear end 321 of the tableware receiving member 32 is the head end, and the front end 322 of the tableware receiving member 32 extends forward and downward, being the tail end. A dinner plate conveyor belt 33 is provided below and in front of the front end 322 of the tableware receiving member 32. The left part of the dinner plate conveyor belt 33 is mounted on the left front part of the mounting bracket 31, and the right part is mounted on the right front part of the mounting bracket 31. A bowl and dish dropping opening 323 with a length and width of 380 mm is formed in the tableware receiving member 32. A left - right - direction bowl and dish conveyor belt 34 is provided below the bowl and dish dropping opening 323. A guiding block 341 is provided above the front part of the bowl and dish conveyor belt 34. Both the bowl and dish conveyor belt 34 and the guiding block 341 are mounted on the left rear part of the mounting bracket 31. The left end of the guiding block 341 is wider than the right end, and it can guide the items on the bowl and dish conveyor belt 34 to the rear part of the bowl and dish conveyor belt 34. A transverse lever 342 is also mounted on the guiding block 341. The lever 342 is located above the bowl and dish conveyor belt 34, and the distance between it and the bowl and dish conveyor belt 34 is 60 mm, which is greater than the height of the bowl 42 but less than the height of the stack of the bowl 42 and the dish 41. The bowl and dish conveyor belt 34 conveys to the left, and its left end is the tail end. Two front - rear - direction mounting shafts 351, one on the left and one on the right, are mounted on the mounting bracket 31 at the left side of the bowl and dish conveyor belt 34, that is, at the tail end of the bowl and dish conveyor belt 34. Two front and rear mounting wheels 352 are respectively sleeved on the rear parts of the two mounting shafts 351. Two left - right - direction screening conveyor belts 361 are respectively sleeved on the two pairs of front and rear mounting wheels 352. The two screening conveyor belts 361 are arranged side by side front and rear, and there is a dinner plate and dish dropping opening 362 with a width of 100 mm between them. Threaded holes 353 are formed in the mounting wheels 352, and locking bolts 354 are installed in the threaded holes 353. The locking bolt 354 serves as a locking mechanism, and its tail presses against the mounting shaft 351, locking the mounting wheel 352 on the mounting shaft 351 in this way; the head of the locking bolt 354 serves as an operating part and is exposed outward. In the locked state, the two pairs of front and rear mounting wheels 352 can neither move away from each other nor move closer to each other, and the two front and rear screening conveyor belts 361 can neither move away from each other nor move closer to each other. The user operates the head of the locking bolt 354 with a tool, loosens the locking bolt 354 to release its locking of the mounting wheel 352, and then can move the mounting wheel 352 back and forth along the mounting shaft 351 to adjust the distance between the two pairs of front and rear mounting wheels 352, indirectly adjusting the distance between the two front and rear screening conveyor belts 361, and changing the size of the dinner plate and dish dropping opening 362 in this way. A left - right - direction dinner bowl conveyor belt 37 is provided to the left of the two screening conveyor belts 361, that is, at the tail end of the two screening conveyor belts 361. A left - right - direction dinner plate conveyor belt 38 is provided below the two screening conveyor belts 361. The dinner plate conveyor belt 38 is located below the bowl and dish dropping opening 323. The dinner bowl conveyor belt 37 is mounted on the right part of the mounting bracket 31. The left part of the dinner plate conveyor belt 38 is mounted on the left rear part of the mounting bracket 31, and the right part is mounted on the right rear part of the mounting bracket 31.The tableware recycling module 3 includes a driving mechanism 39 that is drivingly connected to the above-mentioned conveyor belts 33, 34, 37, 38 and the screening conveyor belt 361. The driving mechanism 39 is a prior art technology that drives the conveyor belts 33, 34, 37, 38 and the two screening conveyor belts 361 to convey leftward.

[0023] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , people pour out the tableware in an inverted manner, that is, the bowl 42, the plate 41 and the dinner plate 43 are poured out in an upside-down manner with the dinner plate 43 on top, the bowl 42 and the plate 41 below. The tableware sorting device, as a screening mechanism, can automatically separate the dinner plate 43, the bowl 42 and the plate. The details are as follows: After the tableware receiving member 32 receives the tableware, it conveys the tableware forward and downward. The bowl 42 and the plate 41 with an outer diameter less than 380 mm fall from the bowl and plate dropping port 323 onto the bowl and plate conveyor belt 34 during the conveying process. The dinner plate 43 with a length and width of 400 mm bypasses the bowl and plate dropping port 323 and moves onto the dinner plate conveyor belt 33 under the guidance of the tableware receiving member 32; the dinner plate conveyor belt 33 receives the dinner plate 43 sent from the front end 322 of the tableware receiving member 32 and conveys the dinner plate 43 leftward. The bowl and plate conveyor belt 34 receives the bowl 42 and the plate 41 that fall from the bowl and plate dropping port 323 and conveys the bowl 42 and the plate 41 leftward to the two screening conveyor belts 361. During this process, the bowl 42 and the plate 41 are guided by the guiding block 341 to move toward the rear of the bowl and plate conveyor belt 34; if the bowl 42 and the plate 41 are stacked together when they fall, the combined height of the two will exceed the lever 342. When passing through the lever 342, the lever 342 can pick off the upper one of the stacked bowl 42 and plate 41 and make it fall onto the bowl and plate conveyor belt 34 so that the bowl 42 and the plate 41 are no longer stacked; the bowl 42 and the plate 41 are sent to the left end of the bowl and plate conveyor belt 34. Since the outer diameter of the plate 41 is less than 100 mm, it cannot be supported on the two screening conveyor belts 361 and can only fall from the dinner plate dropping port 362 between the two screening conveyor belts 361 onto the dinner plate conveyor belt 38. The dinner plate conveyor belt 38 receives the plate 41 that falls from the dinner plate dropping port 362 and then conveys the plate 41 leftward. Since the outer diameter of the bowl 42 is greater than 100 mm, it can be supported upside down on the two screening conveyor belts 361 and is jointly sent leftward to the bowl conveyor belt 37 by the two screening conveyor belts 361, and then is conveyed leftward by the bowl conveyor belt 37. The tableware sorting device realizes the automatic sorting of tableware of different sizes through screening, eliminating the need for manual sorting. See Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the right part 312 of the mounting frame 31 is hinged to the left part 311. As a rotating part, it can be rotated upward and retracted to drive the right part 331 of the dinner plate conveyor belt 33, the bowl conveyor belt 37 and the right part 381 of the dinner plate conveyor belt 38 to rotate upward and retract, facilitating the maintenance personnel to move back and forth.

[0024] See Figure 1, in this embodiment, the dinner plate 43 is used as a large tableware, the bowl 42 is used as a medium-sized tableware, and the plate 41 is used as a small tableware. The three together form a set of tableware. In other embodiments, other tableware can be used. For example, a spoon can be used instead of the plate 41 as the small tableware, and a set of tableware is composed of the dinner plate 43, the bowl 42 and the spoon. See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the locking bolt 354 is used as the locking mechanism to lock the mounting wheel 352, and indirectly lock the two screening conveyor belts 361 so that the two screening conveyor belts 361 can neither move away from each other nor approach each other, and the locking mechanism can be operated to release the lock. In other embodiments, other locking mechanisms can be used to lock the two screening conveyor belts 361. For example, a plurality of locking holes arranged side by side are formed in the mounting shaft 351, and each mounting wheel 352 is provided with an alignment hole aligned with one of the locking holes. Then, a bolt is used as the locking mechanism, and the bolt passes through the alignment hole of the mounting wheel 352 and is inserted into the locking hole of the mounting shaft 351 to lock the mounting wheel 352 in this way, and indirectly lock the two screening conveyor belts 361 so that the two screening conveyor belts 361 can neither move away from each other nor approach each other, and the bolt can be operated to be pulled out to release the lock.

[0025] As described above, it is only the implementation mode of the invention, and the scope of patent protection is not limited thereby. Those skilled in the art make non-substantial changes or substitutions based on the invention, and still fall within the scope of patent protection.
