DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
[0031] This embodiment relates to a material recovery device, referring to Figures 1 - 3 , comprising: a material collection box 100, a flip cover 200, a suction device 300, a feed pipe 400, and a material bag 500. The material collection box 100 is provided with a material cavity 110, a first feed port 120 is provided on the side wall of the material collection box 100, and a suction port 130 is provided on the bottom surface of the material collection box 100; the flip cover 200 is rotatably assembled on the top surface of the material collection box 100 and is used to tightly cover the material collection box 100 to ensure that the material collection box 100 is in a closed state when collecting materials, ensuring the airtightness of the material collection box 100 and preventing the materials from flying out. The suction device 300 is fixedly assembled at the lower end of the material collection box 100, and an air outlet 310 is provided on the side of the suction device 300. One end of the suction device 300 is connected to the suction port 130; one end of the feed pipe 400 is connected to the first feed port 120, and the other end is a material suction port 410 for collecting materials; the material bag 500 is detachably assembled in the material cavity 110, which is convenient for timely replacement of the material bag 500 and centralized processing of the material in the material bag 500. The material bag 500 is provided with a second feed port 510 corresponding to the first feed port 120 to ensure that the material enters the feed pipe 400 and then passes through the first feed port 120 and the second feed port 510 into the material bag 500, thereby preventing the material from accidentally falling between the wall of the material collection box 100 and the material bag 500.
[0032] Reference Figures 1 - 3, the working principle and process of this material recovery device are as follows: Open the flip cover 200, assemble the material bag 500, align the second feed port 510 of the material bag 500 with the first feed port 120 on the side wall of the material collection box 100, rotate and lower the flip cover 200, start the suction device 300. The suction device 300 discharges air through the air outlet 310 on its peripheral side, creating a negative pressure at the suction port 130. Since the suction port 130 is connected to the material chamber 110, a negative pressure is also generated in the material chamber 110. At this time, align the material suction port 410 of the feed pipe 400 with the material to be recovered. The feed pipe 400 is connected to the first feed port 120. The material is sucked into the feed pipe 400 under the action of the pressure difference between the outside and the material chamber 110, and then enters the material bag 500 through the first feed port 120 and the second feed port 510, completing the recovery of the material. After the recovery work is completed, turn off the suction device 300, open the flip cover 200, take out the material bag 500, and perform subsequent processing on the material. This operation process is simple and efficient, improving the efficiency of recovering materials and cleaning floor materials in production and life. At the same time, since the suction device 300 generates a huge suction force during operation, the dust beside the floor materials will also be sucked into the material bag 500, effectively avoiding secondary dust generation. In this embodiment, the suction device 300 is a fan. In some embodiments, the suction device 300 can also be a vacuum pump. In this embodiment, the material can be indoor or outdoor waste such as paper scraps, melon and fruit peels in life, or production materials such as iron scraps and plastic scraps generated in factory production.
[0033] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 2 - 3 , the material recovery device further includes: a control circuit board 610 and a pressure sensor 620 fixedly assembled on the outer peripheral wall of the material collection box 100; one end of the pressure sensor 620 extends into the material chamber 110, and the pressure sensor 620 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 610. Specifically, a detection hole for the probe of the pressure sensor 620 to extend into is provided on the side wall of the material collection box 100, and the probe of the pressure sensor 620 extends into the detection hole to detect the pressure in the material chamber 110. During the process of collecting materials, the materials are continuously sucked into the material bag 500, and the material bag 500 is gradually filled, which will partially block the suction port 130, and the pressure in the material chamber 110 gradually decreases. The pressure sensor 620 feeds back the detected signal to the control circuit board 610, and the control circuit board 610 alarms to remind the user that the material bag 500 is full and the material bag 500 should be replaced in time.
[0034] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 3 - 5Slots 710 are provided on the inner wall of the material collection box 100, corresponding to both sides of the first feed opening 120. The material recovery device also includes a material bag mounting portion 720 that cooperates with the slots 710. The slots 710 and the material bag mounting portion 720 cooperate to secure the material bag 500. The material bag mounting portion 720 has a through hole connecting the first feed opening 120 and the second feed opening 510. To assemble the material bag 500, the user simply aligns the second feed opening 510 of the material bag 500 with the through hole and then inserts the material bag mounting portion 720 into the slots 710. At this point, the first feed opening 120 and the second feed opening 510 are connected to the through hole, facilitating material entry. The plug-in assembly method for the material bag 500 facilitates user assembly and replacement of the material bag 500 and automatically aligns the second feed opening 510 of the material bag 500 with the first feed opening 120, preventing misalignment that could affect the airtightness of the feed channel and ultimately lead to insufficient suction at the material suction opening 410 of the feed tube 400, making material collection difficult. This also prevents material leakage. Furthermore, a handle 721 is provided on the side of the material bag mounting portion 720 facing the flip cover 200 for easy lifting.
[0035] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 3 - 4 The material collection box 100 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of air guide support plates 730. One end of the air guide support plates 730 extends toward the flip cover 200, and the other end extends toward the suction port 130. During the material collection process, due to the negative pressure generated within the material chamber 110, air is continuously drawn into the material chamber 110. As a result of this continuous inflow of air, the material bag 500 continuously expands until it clings to the inner wall of the material collection box 100. At this point, the air guide support plates 730 not only support the material bag 500 but also guide the air flow, ensuring that the air drawn in by the expanding material bag 500 flows smoothly through the air guide support plates 730 and the suction port 130 to the air outlet 310 of the suction device 300.
[0036] Furthermore, a surrounding wall 740 is provided on the inner wall of the material collection box 100, surrounding the suction port 130. One side of the surrounding wall 740 is connected to a plurality of air guide support plates 730. The surrounding wall 740 and the air guide support plates 730 cooperate to guide air. Specifically, the height of the surrounding wall 740 is shorter than the end of the air guide support plates 730 extending toward the suction port 130, ensuring smooth air flow toward the suction port 130. Furthermore, the surrounding wall 740 supports the bottom of the material bag 500.
[0037] In this embodiment, the material recovery device further includes a support plate 750 detachably mounted within the enclosure 740. The support plate 750 has a hollow structure. This prevents the material bag 500 from being drawn into the suction port 130 by the strong suction force generated by the suction device 300, thereby blocking the suction port 130. Furthermore, the hollow structure ensures air circulation.
[0038] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 2 - 3 , a sealing ring 210 is sleeved on one side of the flip cover 200 facing the material chamber 110 to ensure the airtightness of the material collection box 100 when collecting materials. Further, the material recovery device further includes: a switch 800 disposed on one side of the free end of the flip cover 200 to unlock or lock the flip cover 200. In this embodiment, the switch 800 is a push-button reset switch 800. Pressing the switch 800 can open the flip cover 200; when the flip cover 200 is rotated and closed, releasing the switch 800 can lock the flip cover 200. The opening operation is simple and convenient.
[0039] This embodiment also relates to a recovery mechanism. Referring to Figures 6 - 7 , it includes: a housing 910, the material recovery device as described above assembled in the housing 910, a mobile robot (not shown in the drawings), and a bottom support frame 920. The housing 910 functions to protect components such as the material recovery device and prevent the components from being damaged. The housing 910 is also provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes for the air sucked in by the suction device 300 to pass through the air outlet 310 on the periphery of the suction device 300 and then be discharged through the heat dissipation holes. A rotatable cover is provided on the top surface of the housing 910 for replacing the material bag 500 and overhauling the components. The bottom support frame 920 is fixedly disposed in the housing 910, below the suction device 300, and is provided with a receiving cavity 921 for placing the mobile robot. An opening 922 communicating the material suction port 410 with the receiving cavity 921 is provided on the side wall of the bottom support frame 920; corresponding channels for the mobile robot to enter and exit are provided on the bottom support frame 920 and the housing 910; the mobile robot is provided with a material outlet corresponding to the material suction port 410 and a material box for collecting materials. The working principle and working process of this recovery mechanism are as follows: After the mobile robot moves to collect materials, it moves into the receiving cavity 921, docks the material outlet with the material suction port 410 of the feed pipe 400, assembles the material bag 500, rotates and closes the flip cover 200, and starts the suction device 300. The materials in the material box are sucked into the feed pipe 400, and finally enter the material bag 500 through the first feed port 120 and the second feed port 510, completing the collection of materials. The mobile robot can move to collect materials, is flexible in movement, and the collection range is not limited by the length of the feed pipe 400 of the material collection device, avoiding the problem of limited material collection range caused by the insufficient length of the feed pipe 400.
[0040] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and not to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent replacements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solution of the present invention should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
