[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example: Reference Figure 1 The wire harness recycling box shown includes a movable base 1, on which a recycling box 2 is mounted, and also includes a self-unloading unit and a positioning unit.

[0026] Positioning unit: used to position recycling bin 2 so that it cannot move;

[0027] Self-unloading unit: When the positioning unit releases the positioning of the recycling box 2, the recycling box 2 automatically performs the unloading operation.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of this example, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the self-unloading unit includes two rotating shafts 3, two first baffles 10, two second baffles 11, and two baffles 9;

[0029] The opposite ends of the two rotating shafts 3 are respectively eccentrically set on the two side walls of the recycling box 2. Both rotating shafts 3 are rotatably connected to the recycling box 2. The other ends of the two rotating shafts 3 are fixedly connected to the corresponding vertical plates. The vertical plates are fixed on the movable base 1. A first baffle 10 and a second baffle 11 are set on the same side and are located on the periphery of the corresponding rotating shafts 3 and fixed on the corresponding vertical plates. Two baffles 9 are respectively installed on the two side walls of the recycling box 2 and are set opposite to the corresponding vertical plates.

[0030] The positioning unit includes a positioning rod 5 that is slidably mounted on the push rod of the movable base 1 and a U-shaped plate 4 that is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the recycling bin 2. The end of the positioning rod 5 facing the rotation direction of the recycling bin 2 is provided with an inclined surface 6, and the end of the positioning rod 5 facing away from the rotation direction of the recycling bin 2 is provided with a flat end. A retaining ring 7 is fixed on the positioning rod 5, and the retaining ring 7 is connected to the push rod by a positioning spring 8.

[0031] Initially, the end of the positioning rod 5 is inserted into the cavity of the loop plate 4, and the stop rod 9 contacts the first baffle 10 to form a blockage. When the wire harness in the recycling box 2 is full, the recycling box 2 can be pushed to the recycling point. The positioning rod 5 is manually pulled to move the end of the positioning rod 5 out of the cavity of the loop plate 4. Since the rotating shaft 3 is eccentrically set on the outer wall of the recycling box 2, when the positioning rod 5 releases the positioning of the recycling box 2, the recycling box 2 rotates under its own weight and the weight of the wire harness inside, and the material is unloaded. The recycling box 2 rotates from a vertical position to a certain angle (controlled between 120° and 150° to avoid the rotation angle being too small, which would prevent all the wire harnesses in the recycling box 2 from being unloaded, and also to avoid the rotation angle being too large, which would result in the unloaded wire harnesses being deformed). After the material accumulates and seals the opening of the recycling box 2, preventing the remaining material inside from being discharged, the baffle 9 will contact the second baffle 11 to form support, thus keeping the recycling box 2 tilted. The wire harness inside the recycling box 2 will then be tilted out by its own gravity. After the wire harness has been tilted, the recycling box 2 can be manually rotated in the opposite direction. During the reverse rotation of the recycling box 2, the U-shaped plate 4 will contact the inclined surface on the positioning rod 5 and form a compression, ultimately causing the end of the positioning rod 5 to be inserted into the U-shaped cavity of the U-shaped plate 4. At this time, the baffle 9 will contact the first baffle 10 to form a blockage. A self-tilting unit is provided. After the positioning of the recycling box 2 is released, the recycling box 2 will automatically rotate and perform the unloading operation. The operation is convenient and simple, and the unloading efficiency is high.

[0032] It should be noted that: First, both the first baffle 10 and the second baffle 11 are wrapped with an elastic buffer layer, which can buffer the collision with the baffle 9; Second, the U-shaped plate 4 is set on the outer wall of the recycling box 2 and close to the feed inlet of the recycling box 2, which helps to reduce the squeezing effect of the recycling box 2 containing wire harnesses on the positioning rod 5 (when the positioning rod 5 positions the recycling box 2, the recycling box 2 has a tendency to rotate, which causes the positioning rod 5 to be subjected to the squeezing force from the recycling box 2. As more and more wire harnesses are installed, the squeezing force on the positioning rod 5 increases).

[0033] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a first auxiliary unloading unit is also included to assist in thoroughly and completely pushing out the wire harness in the recycling box 2 during unloading.

[0034] To prevent the wire harness from getting stuck in recycling bin 2 and being unable to be emptied.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment of this example, Figure 2 As shown, the first auxiliary material pouring unit includes a pusher plate 12 that is slidably disposed in the inner cavity of the recycling box 2 via sliders 13 on both sides. The inner wall of the recycling box 2 is provided with a groove adapted to the slider 13, and two sets of right-angled triangular blocking blocks 14 are symmetrically arranged at the outlet of the groove.

[0036] When the recycling bin 2 is rotated to the tilted state, during this process, the internal wire harness will be pushed outward by the gravity of the pusher plate 12, and eventually all the wire harness in the recycling bin 2 will be pushed out. The pusher plate 12 will eventually be blocked by the blocking block 14, so that it cannot leave the recycling bin 2.

[0037] It should be noted that: First, the outer wall of the pusher plate 12 is equipped with ball bearings 15, which can reduce the friction between the pusher plate 12 and the inner wall of the recycling box 2; Second, two sets of right-angled triangular blocking blocks 14 are arranged in a figure-eight shape, and there is a gap between the two blocking blocks 14, which can prevent the end of the wire harness from being pressed by the slider and unable to leave the recycling box 2, which is conducive to the wire harness being completely poured out of the recycling box 2.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a second auxiliary unloading unit is also included to assist in quickly unloading the wire harness from the recycling box 2.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment of this example, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second auxiliary unloading unit includes a first permanent magnet 16 installed in the mounting groove at the bottom of the recycling bin 2 and a second permanent magnet 17 installed in the mounting groove at the lower end of the pusher plate 12. The opposite ends of the first permanent magnet 16 and the second permanent magnet 17 have the same magnetic poles.

[0040] When the recycling box 2 is full of wire harnesses, the gap between the first permanent magnet 16 and the second permanent magnet 17 is the smallest, and the repulsive force generated is the largest. When the recycling box 2 is rotated and tilted, the repulsive force generated can promote the movement of the pusher plate 12 in the recycling box 2, thereby accelerating the wire harness to be tilted out and further improving the unloading efficiency.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
