[0026] The utility model provides an automatic metering component for garbage recycling.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the automatic metering assembly for garbage recycling includes a recycling box 100 and a metering structure 200. The recycling box 100 includes a feed door 110 and a discharge door 120. The feed door 110 and the discharge door 120 are both provided on the recycling box 100. The metering structure 200 is provided inside the recycling box 100 and is located behind the feed door 110. When residents put recyclable garbage into the recycling box 100, they can put the garbage into the metering structure 200 through the feed door 110. The garbage is then weighed by the metering structure 200. After the weighing process is completed, the garbage is put into the recycling box 100 through the metering structure 200 to temporarily store the garbage in the recycling box 100, thereby facilitating the recycling personnel to carry out subsequent centralized recycling and other operations.

[0028] In this embodiment, the metering structure 200 includes a mounting platform 210, a conveying unit, a lifting unit, a weighing unit, and a waste tray 250. Specifically, the mounting platform 210 is mounted on the inner wall of the recycling box 100, and the conveying unit, lifting unit, weighing unit, and waste tray 250 are all disposed on the mounting platform 210. Furthermore, the weighing unit includes supporting columns 2402, a pressure sensor 240, and a transmission plate 2401. The supporting columns 2402 are loosely fitted with the mounting platform 210. There are four supporting columns 2402. The pressure sensor 240 is mounted below the transmission plate 2401. Four supporting columns 2402 are disposed at the four corners of the top surface of the transmission plate 2401. The waste tray 250 is placed on the supporting columns 2402. When residents drop recyclable garbage into the recycling bin 100 through the feed port, the garbage enters the garbage tray 250. The garbage then exerts pressure on the pressure sensor 240 through the garbage tray 250, the support column 2402, and the transmission plate 2401. This pressure is the weight of the garbage itself, and the pressure sensor 240 measures the pressure, thereby completing the weighing operation. In this embodiment, only the weight of the recyclable garbage is weighed by the metering structure 200, and the resident's behavior of dropping the garbage is assigned a corresponding point based on the weighing result, without distinguishing the type of garbage.

[0029] In this embodiment, the conveying unit further includes a conveying motor 220, two conveyor belts, two conveyor troughs 2102, and two conveyor wheels. The lifting unit includes a lifting motor 230, a lifting plate 2301, a lifting rod 2302, and a movable rod 2303. Specifically, the two conveyor troughs 2102 are respectively arranged on both sides of the top surface of the mounting platform 210, the two conveyor wheels are respectively arranged at both ends of the conveyor trough 2102, and the output end of the conveying motor 220 is connected to one of the conveyor wheels; in addition, the two conveyor belts are respectively arranged in the two conveyor troughs 2102, and the movable rod 2303 is movably mounted on the conveyor belts. Furthermore, the conveyor belts include connecting through holes, and the movable rod 2303 includes a slide groove, which is arranged in the middle of the movable rod 2303. The movable rod 2303 passes through the conveyor belt, and the slide groove slides in conjunction with the connecting through holes.

[0030] In this embodiment, the output end of the jacking motor 230 is connected to the lower end of the jacking rod 2302, and the upper end of the jacking rod 2302 can be abutted against the lower end of the movable rod 2303. The height of the upper end of the movable rod 2303 can be greater than or less than the height of the supporting column 2402. Specifically, the output end of the jacking motor 230 is connected to the bottom surface of the jacking plate 2301, and four jacking rods 2302 are respectively provided at the four corners of the top surface of the jacking plate 2301. The upper ends of the four jacking rods 2302 can be abutted against the lower ends of the four movable rods 2303.

[0031] Before completing the weighing operation, the lifting motor 230 drives the lifting plate 2301, the jack 2302 and the movable rod 2303 to descend, so that the height of the upper end of the movable rod 2303 is less than the height of the supporting column 2402, thereby avoiding contact between the movable rod 2303 and the garbage tray 250, ensuring that the weighing operation proceeds smoothly. After completing the weighing operation, the jacking motor 230 drives the jacking plate 2301, the jack rod 2302 and the movable rod 2303 to rise, so that the height of the upper end of the movable rod 2303 is greater than the height of the supporting column 2402, and the movable rod 2303 supports the garbage tray 250, thereby causing the garbage tray 250 to rise and separate from the supporting column 2402. At this time, the transmission motor 220 drives the transmission wheel and the conveyor belt to rotate, and the movable rod 2303 and the garbage tray 250 can be moved along the length direction of the transmission belt. When the garbage tray 250 moves to a tilted state with the movable rod 2303, the garbage will fall into the recycling box 100. When the garbage falls into the recycling box 100, the conveying motor 220 rotates in the opposite direction, so that the garbage tray 250 can be moved to the supporting column 2402, and then the lifting motor 230 drives the lifting plate 2301, the top rod 2302 and the movable rod 2303 to descend, so that the height of the upper end of the movable rod 2303 is less than the height of the supporting column 2402, so that the garbage tray 250 can be lowered and against the top surface of the supporting column 2402, and the movable rod 2303 can be separated from the garbage tray 250, thereby avoiding contact between the movable rod 2303 and the garbage tray 250, ensuring smooth weighing operation.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the metering structure 200 further includes a baffle 2101 having an L-shaped cross section and disposed on the side of the mounting platform 210. The baffle 2101 can block the garbage and prevent it from falling into the recycling box 100 before the weighing operation is completed.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in other embodiments, the automatic metering assembly for waste collection further includes an isolation cover 300 and a lifting mechanism. The top surface of the isolation cover 300 is connected to the output end of the lifting mechanism. The isolation cover 300 includes a 3D scanner and a CCD camera, both of which are mounted within the isolation cover 300. The isolation cover 300 can be buckled over the waste tray 250. In this embodiment, the 3D scanner can be used to identify the volume of waste on the waste tray 250, and the CCD camera can be used to accurately identify different types of waste, thereby improving the accuracy of waste measurement.

[0034] Specifically, the working principle and process of the utility model are as follows:

[0035] By setting up the installation platform, conveying part, lifting part, weighing part and garbage tray, the recyclable garbage can be automatically measured and processed after residents put in the recyclable garbage, thereby reducing costs and improving efficiency. When residents put the recyclable garbage into the recycling box, they can put the garbage into the metering structure through the feeding door, and then the metering structure will weigh the garbage. After the weighing process is completed, the garbage is put into the recycling box through the metering structure to temporarily store the garbage in the recycling box, making it easier for recycling personnel to carry out subsequent centralized recycling and other operations.

[0036] Before completing the weighing operation, the lifting motor of the metering structure drives the lifting plate, the push rod and the movable rod to descend, so that the height of the upper end of the movable rod is less than the height of the supporting column, thereby preventing the movable rod from contacting the garbage tray and ensuring smooth weighing operation. After completing the weighing operation, the lifting motor drives the lifting plate, the push rod and the movable rod to rise, so that the height of the upper end of the movable rod is greater than the height of the supporting column, and the movable rod supports the garbage tray, thereby causing the garbage tray to rise and separate from the supporting column. At this time, the transmission motor drives the transmission wheel and the conveyor belt to rotate, so that the movable rod and the garbage tray can be moved along the length of the transmission belt. When the garbage tray moves to a tilted state with the movable rod, the garbage will fall into the recycling box. When the garbage falls into the recycling box, the conveying motor rotates in the opposite direction to move the garbage tray to the supporting column. Then the jacking motor drives the jacking plate, the jacking rod and the movable rod to descend, so that the height of the upper end of the movable rod is less than the height of the supporting column. The garbage tray can be lowered to collide with the top surface of the supporting column, and the movable rod can be separated from the garbage tray, thereby avoiding contact between the movable rod and the garbage tray and ensuring smooth weighing operation.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
