[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the following will be combined with the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The intelligent sweeping and sorting device in one embodiment of the present invention includes a sweeping machine 1 and a sorting station 2 arranged in conjunction with the sweeping machine 1; the sorting station 2 includes a first conveying component 21 and a sorting component 22 for receiving waste to be sorted from the sweeping machine 1, the first conveying component 21 includes a conveying part 211 and a guide part 212 arranged in conjunction with each other, the guide part 212 is used to guide the waste to be sorted to be concentrated to the conveying part 211, and arrange the waste to be sorted in sequence along the conveying direction of the conveying part 211; the sorting component 22 is arranged in conjunction with the first conveying component 21 to identify and sort different types of waste to be sorted.

[0033] During operation, the sweeper 1 can sweep and collect waste materials from the production workshop. After receiving the waste materials to be sorted, the sorting station 2 completes the classification, identification and sorting of the waste materials through the cooperation of the first conveying component 21 and the sorting component 22, thereby reducing the waste of resources by recycling metal waste.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 The guide portion 212 includes a conveyor belt provided with a plurality of guide bars, the extension direction of which intersects the extension direction of the conveying portion 211. Therefore, the guide bars can guide the waste from the guide portion 212 to the conveying portion 211, so that the waste can be concentrated on the conveying portion 211 and arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the conveying portion 211, facilitating the subsequent sorting component 22 to identify and sort the orderly arranged waste one by one.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 The guide portions 212 are disposed on both sides of the conveying portion 211 along the conveying direction of the conveying portion 211, with an angle formed between the guiding direction of the guide portions 212 and the conveying direction of the conveying portion 211. In this embodiment, two sets of guide portions 212 are provided, positioned on both sides of the conveying direction of the conveying portion 211. This arrangement of the guide portions 212 and the conveying portion 211 allows waste to accumulate from both sides toward the center, improving the efficiency of sequentially arranging the waste and facilitating subsequent identification and sorting of the waste by the sorting assembly 22.

[0036] Reference Figure 1The sorting station 2 also includes a second conveyor assembly 23, which is configured to cooperate with the first conveyor assembly 21. The second conveyor assembly 23 is used to receive the waste materials to be sorted from the first conveyor assembly 21 and to create a preset spacing between the waste materials to be sorted. This preset spacing between the waste materials reduces interference caused by adjacent waste materials on the identification and sorting process by the sorting assembly 22. The preset spacing between the waste materials on the second conveyor assembly 23 improves the accuracy of the sorting assembly 22's individual identification of each waste material and facilitates sorting.

[0037] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 The output end of the first conveying component 21 is higher than the input end of the second conveying component 23, so that the waste to be sorted is sequentially fed into the second conveying component 23 at preset time intervals. The second conveying component 23 can be a conveyor belt.

[0038] Therefore, due to the height difference between the first conveying component 21 and the second conveying component 23, the waste on the first conveying component 21 can be loaded onto the second conveying component 23 at preset time intervals, so that a preset distance can be generated between the waste on the second conveying component 23.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 The sorting component 22 includes an ultrasonic sensor 221 installed at the input end of the second conveying component 23, and a sorting piece 222 installed at the output end of the second conveying component 23; the sorting piece 222 is used to push the corresponding waste out of the second conveying component 23 according to the target waste type information detected by the ultrasonic sensor 221, and the target waste type information includes metal waste or non-metal waste.

[0040] In this embodiment, the sorting element 222 is a pneumatic cylinder, and the target waste type for detection by the ultrasonic sensor 221 is set to metal waste. When the ultrasonic sensor 221 detects metal waste, the sorting element 222 can push the metal waste away from the second conveying assembly 23, thereby sorting out the metal waste. It is understood that in other embodiments, the ultrasonic sensor 221 can also be used to detect non-metallic waste, and the sorting element 222 can accordingly filter out non-metallic waste. The output end of the sorting element 222 and / or the output end of the second conveying assembly 23 can be provided with a corresponding receiving box for receiving the waste. At the same time, since there is a preset distance between the waste materials to be sorted, when the sorting element 222 pushes the waste, it will not cause other waste materials to move, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the sorting.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The sorting station 2 also includes a first visual sensor 24 installed in conjunction with the conveying part 211, and a controller electrically connected to the first visual sensor 24 and the first conveying component 21 respectively; the controller is used to control the conveying part 211 to stop running when the first visual sensor 24 detects that the waste materials to be sorted on the conveying part 211 are not arranged in sequence.

[0042] If the waste materials on the conveyor section 211 are not arranged in a sequential order along the direction of the conveyor section 211, this can affect the accuracy of subsequent waste sorting by the sorting assembly 22. Therefore, the first visual sensor 24 can detect the arrangement of the waste materials to be sorted on the conveyor section 211 in real time, thereby controlling the operation of the first conveyor assembly 21 accordingly. In this embodiment, the guide section 212 and the conveyor section 211 can operate independently. If the waste materials to be sorted are not arranged in a sequential order, the conveyor section 211 is controlled to stop operating, while the guide section 212 can continue to operate, allowing the waste materials to continue to move onto the conveyor section 211.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The sweeper 1 includes a housing 11, and the sorting station 2 also includes a connector 25 that is mounted on the input end of the first conveying assembly 21. The housing 11 has a discharge port that cooperates with the connector 25. After the sweeper 1 sweeps and obtains waste, the waste can be transferred from the sweeper 1 to the sorting station 2 through the cooperation of the discharge port and the connector 25.

[0044] A dust box 12 connected to the discharge port is mounted within the housing 11. The dust box 12 is tilted to allow waste to be sorted to move from the dust box 12 to the connector 25. A dust collection pipe 13 is connected to the dust box 12, allowing waste to enter the dust box 12 directly from the ground through the dust collection pipe 13. This prevents waste from affecting the internal structure and components of the sweeper 1, thereby ensuring the service life of the sweeper 1.

[0045] In this embodiment, the sweeper 1 also includes a cooling fan 14 mounted within the housing 11 and a second visual sensor 15 mounted on the housing 11 for obstacle avoidance. The second visual sensor 15 enables the sweeper 1 to automatically avoid obstacles and move, thereby completing the cleaning process. The sweeper 1 also has a side brush and a roller brush mounted on the bottom to ensure high-quality cleaning.

[0046] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention.
