Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of garbage classification, in particular to a garbage bin with the function of classifying expired batteries and beverage bottles. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the global economy, people's living standards are constantly improving, and at the same time, the amount of waste generated is also increasing. According to statistics, the annual production of domestic waste in China reaches 400 million tons. Proper waste sorting can not only significantly reduce the demand for landfills and reduce environmental pollution, but also improve the utilization rate of resource recycling. Among the four types of waste: kitchen waste, hazardous waste, recyclable waste, and other waste, expired batteries and beverage bottles (metal cans and plastic beverage bottles) are two of the more typical types of waste. Expired batteries are hazardous waste, and the heavy metals they contain, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, can pose serious risks to the environment and human health. Beverage bottles, on the other hand, are recyclable waste and can be recycled and reused, avoiding resource waste. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures to specifically sort and recycle expired batteries and beverage bottles to avoid environmental pollution and resource waste.
[0003] The current recycling process for expired batteries and beverage bottles reveals issues such as low willingness among residents to sort and lax regulatory oversight. Residents often mix beverage bottles and batteries with kitchen waste and other trash before discarding them, significantly increasing the workload of the waste recycling system's back-end sorting system. Therefore, adopting intelligent solutions, taking measures at the front end of waste collection, and implementing appropriate incentive mechanisms to reduce the workload of back-end waste disposal are crucial for easing regulatory oversight and increasing residents' willingness to sort, and are currently a major area of scientific research.

[0023] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The garbage sorting mechanism 4 includes a stepper motor 41, a connecting rod 42, a sorting tray 43, a lower baffle 44, and a servo 45. The stepper motor 41 is installed on the end cover 2. The output shaft of the stepper motor 41 is fixed to the sorting tray 43 through the connecting rod 42. The sorting tray 43 is installed with a servo 45. The output shaft of the servo 45 is fixedly sleeved with the lower baffle 44. The lower baffle 44 is located at the bottom end of the sorting tray 43. The stepper motor 41 drives the sorting tray 43 to rotate, and the servo 45 drives the lower baffle 44 to rotate.
[0024] Reference Figure 4 The garbage compression mechanism 5 includes a push rod motor 51, a first connecting member 52, a first compression plate 53, an optical axis 54, a second connecting member 55, and a second compression plate 56. The second compression plate 56, the push rod motor 51, and the optical axis 54 are all fixed to the frame 1. The push rod of the push rod motor 51 is fixed to the first compression plate 53 through the first connecting member 52. The first compression plate 53 is slidably sleeved on the optical axis 54. The optical axis 54 is fixed to the second compression plate 56 through the second connecting member 55. The push rod motor 51 pushes the first compression plate 53 to move, so that the beverage bottle is flattened under the action of the first compression plate 53 and the second compression plate 56.
[0025] Reference Figure 6 The first trash can 7, the second trash can 8, and the third trash can 6 are arranged in a herringbone shape. A display screen is installed on the top of the end cover 2. The display screen is a serial port screen for displaying weighing information and playing promotional videos.
[0026] Reference Figure 5 The translation mechanism includes a rotating motor 12, a gear 13, and a rack 14. The rotating motor 12 is installed on the frame 1. The output shaft of the rotating motor 12 is fixedly sleeved with the gear 13. The rack 14 is fixed on the draw plate 11. The gear 13 and the rack 14 are engaged for transmission. The rotating motor 12 drives the gear 13 to rotate. The gear 13 drives the rack 14 to move by engaging with the rack 14, and the rack 14 drives the draw plate 11 to move synchronously.
[0027] Working principle: The first trash can 7 is for collecting recyclable garbage, the second trash can 8 is for collecting hazardous waste, and the third trash can 6 is for collecting other types of garbage;
[0028] Residents throw garbage into the garbage inlet 3 on the end cover 2. If it is general household garbage, it can be directly put in, and the camera will recognize it and put it into the third garbage bin 6; if it is expired batteries, residents need to put them directly into the garbage inlet 3 without any packaging, and the camera will recognize it and put them into the second garbage bin 8. It can be weighed by the second weighing sensor 10 under the second garbage bin 8 and converted into an amount or points, which will be displayed on the display screen above the end cover 2. Residents can obtain the amount or points by scanning the code, which can improve the enthusiasm for the classification and disposal of hazardous waste; if it is a beverage bottle, residents need to put it directly into the garbage inlet 3 without any packaging, and the camera will recognize it and put it into the first garbage bin 7. It can be weighed by the first weighing sensor 9 under the first garbage bin 7 and converted into an amount or points, which will be displayed on the display screen above the end cover 2. Residents can obtain the amount or points by scanning the code, which can improve the enthusiasm for the classification and disposal of hazardous waste.
[0029] When the camera recognizes that the garbage to be sorted is expired batteries, the stepper motor 41 rotates the classification tray 43 to above the second trash can 8, the servo 45 drives the lower baffle 44 to open, and the expired batteries fall into the second trash can 8; when the camera recognizes that the garbage to be sorted is beverage bottles, the stepper motor 41 rotates the classification tray 43 to above the garbage compression mechanism 5, the servo 45 drives the lower baffle 44 to open, and the beverage bottles are put into the garbage compression mechanism 5, and after compression is completed, they fall into the first trash can 7; when the camera recognizes that the garbage to be sorted is other types of garbage (including kitchen waste and other garbage), the stepper motor 41 rotates the classification tray 43 to above the third trash can 6, the servo 45 drives the lower baffle 44 to open, and other types of garbage fall into the third trash can 6.
[0030] When the beverage bottle falls into the garbage compression mechanism 5, the beverage bottle is located on the draw plate 11, and the push rod motor 51 pushes the first compression plate 53 to move. In this way, the beverage bottle is clamped and flattened under the action of the first compression plate 53 and the second compression plate 56. The rotary motor 12 drives the gear 13 to rotate, and the gear 13 drives the rack 14 to move by engaging with the rack 14. The rack 14 drives the draw plate 11 to move synchronously, and then the draw plate 11 is opened, and the clamped beverage bottle immediately falls into the first trash can 7.
[0031] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
