Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of recycling and sorting equipment, specifically to a wine packaging recycling and sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the social economy and the continuous improvement of consumption levels, the consumption of various beverages, especially alcoholic beverages, has increased significantly. The sale of alcoholic beverages is widespread in shopping malls, supermarkets, schools, and public places, as well as in vending machines and retail stores. However, this consumption boom has also generated a large amount of alcohol packaging waste. Traditional methods rely on manual sorting and recycling, but this approach is not only inefficient but also requires a large amount of manpower. Furthermore, due to limitations in the precision and speed of manual sorting, precise classification is often difficult to achieve, resulting in the underutilization of recyclable resources and potentially causing environmental pollution. In addition, while some existing recycling devices can achieve a certain degree of automation, they are often limited in function and cannot effectively classify and recycle alcohol packaging made of various materials. These devices are prone to clogging and inaccurate classification when handling large quantities and diverse types of alcohol packaging, thus reducing recycling efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can efficiently and accurately classify and recycle alcohol packaging automatically to solve the problems existing in current technologies. This utility model was proposed against this background, aiming to achieve efficient and accurate sorting and recycling of wine packaging through automated control technology, thereby improving recycling efficiency, reducing labor costs, and promoting resource recycling and environmental protection. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a wine packaging recycling and sorting device. Due to the use of automated control, it can greatly improve work efficiency compared with traditional manual sorting and achieve all-weather operation.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a wine packaging recycling and sorting device, comprising: a frame, a flexible conveyor belt arranged horizontally within the frame, and a stepper motor driving the flexible conveyor belt; a sliding feed inlet, fixedly connected to the frame, and having an output ramp corresponding to the input end of the flexible conveyor belt; a camera, fixedly connected to the top of the frame and vertically corresponding to the outlet end of the output ramp; a first recycling trough, of which multiple troughs are arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction at the output end of the flexible conveyor belt; a three-coordinate slide, fixedly connected to the top of the frame, and having a mechanical gripper; and a controller, wherein the stepper motor, the camera, the three-coordinate slide, and the mechanical gripper are electrically connected to the controller.

[0005] Preferably, the gripping end of the mechanical gripper is provided with a flexible pad.

[0006] Preferably, the frame is provided with a horizontal push plate on one side corresponding to the middle of the flexible conveyor belt, and a cylinder for driving the horizontal push plate; the frame is provided with a second recycling tank on the side of the flexible conveyor belt away from the horizontal push plate; the cylinder is connected to a power air source through a solenoid valve, and the solenoid valve is electrically connected to the controller.

[0007] Preferably, there are multiple push plates arranged along the conveying direction of the flexible conveyor belt, each push plate is equipped with a cylinder, and each cylinder is electrically connected to the controller through its own solenoid valve; there are multiple second recycling tanks, each corresponding to one of the push plates.

[0008] Preferably, each of the second recycling tanks is provided with a recycling compartment door at the bottom.

[0009] The advantages of this invention are as follows: Due to automated control, it significantly improves work efficiency compared to traditional manual sorting and enables 24 / 7 operation. The flexible pads not only increase the gripping friction of the mechanical gripper, preventing items from slipping midway, but also effectively avoid secondary breakage caused by gripping force. The controller, based on the different items identified by the camera, activates the corresponding solenoid valve according to the settings. This causes the horizontal pusher plate, under the action of the cylinder, to quickly push the corresponding items on the flexible conveyor belt into the corresponding second recycling bin, thereby relieving pressure on the mechanical gripper and further improving work efficiency. Workers can also collect and clean the items sorted into the second recycling bin in real time by opening the recycling bin door without affecting the operation of the sorting device.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0015] according to Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a wine packaging recycling and sorting device includes: a frame 1, a flexible conveyor belt 2 arranged horizontally inside the frame 1, and a stepper motor 3 driving the flexible conveyor belt 2; a sliding feed inlet 4, which is fixedly connected to the frame 1 and has an output ramp 5 corresponding to the input end of the flexible conveyor belt 2; a data acquisition camera 6, which is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1 and vertically corresponds to the outlet end of the output ramp 5; multiple first recycling tanks 7, which are arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction at the output end of the flexible conveyor belt 2; a three-coordinate slide 8, which is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1 and has a mechanical gripper 9; and a controller 10, in which the stepper motor 3, the data acquisition camera 6, the three-coordinate slide 8, and the mechanical gripper 9 are electrically connected.

[0016] With the above setup, the staff starts the equipment via controller 10, causing the flexible conveyor belt 2 to transport items under the drive of stepper motor 3. At this time, the staff pours the recycled items into the sliding feed port 4. The items slide smoothly onto the flexible conveyor belt 2 under the action of the output ramp 5. The acquisition camera 6 captures images of the items on the flexible conveyor belt 2 and completes item recognition with the support of image algorithms, recording the coordinate position of each item on the flexible conveyor belt 2. Under the action of controller 10, the three-coordinate slide table 8 and the mechanical gripper 9 grab the different identified items according to their coordinate positions and put them into different first recycling bins 7, thereby completing the classification of recycled items. Due to the use of automated control, this process can greatly improve work efficiency compared to traditional manual sorting and achieve all-weather operation.

[0017] The mechanical gripper 9 is equipped with a flexible pad 11 at its clamping end. The flexible pad 11 can not only improve the clamping friction of the mechanical gripper 9, making it less likely for the clamped item to slip off midway, but also effectively avoid the problem of secondary breakage and damage to the item caused by the clamping force.

[0018] The frame 1 is provided with a horizontal push plate 12 on one side corresponding to the middle of the flexible conveyor belt 2, and a cylinder 13 for driving the horizontal push plate 12; the frame 1 is provided with a second recycling trough 14 on the side of the flexible conveyor belt 2 away from the horizontal push plate 12; the cylinder 13 is connected to a power air source through a solenoid valve, and the solenoid valve is electrically connected to the controller 10. Multiple horizontal push plates 12 are provided and arranged along the conveying direction of the flexible conveyor belt 2, each horizontal push plate 12 is provided with a cylinder 13, and each cylinder 13 is electrically connected to the controller 10 through its respective solenoid valve; multiple second recycling troughs 14 are provided and each corresponds to one of the horizontal push plates 12.

[0019] In this setup, the controller 10 activates the corresponding solenoid valve according to the different items identified by the acquisition camera 6, so that the horizontal push plate 12, under the action of the cylinder 13, quickly pushes the corresponding items on the flexible conveyor belt 2 into the corresponding second recycling tank 14, thereby relieving the pressure on the mechanical gripper 9 and further improving work efficiency.

[0020] Each of the second recycling tanks 14 is provided with a recycling compartment door 15 at its bottom.

[0021] In this setup, staff can collect and clean the items sorted into the second recycling bin 14 in real time by opening the recycling bin door 15, without affecting the operation of the sorting device.
