Ultimately, it is an important process that aims to reduce environmental pollution, conserve resources, and lower waste disposal costs.

[0003] Waste sorting equipment is a professional system integrating mechanical, electronic, and automated control technologies. Targeting mixed waste, it utilizes differences in physical properties and employs a combination of components including vibrating screens, conveyor belts, magnetic separators, and air separators to precisely separate recyclables, hazardous waste, kitchen waste, and other waste. This significantly improves sorting efficiency, reduces labor costs, and enhances sorting accuracy, laying a solid foundation for proper waste disposal and resource recycling. It is an indispensable key facility in modern waste management processes. However, during use, it can be challenging to handle waste with special shapes or textures. Garbage, such as tangled old clothes and ropes, can cause blockages or malfunctions in sorting devices, affecting normal sorting operations. In existing technologies, crushing or loosening equipment is installed at the front end of the sorting device to perform preliminary treatment on tangled old clothes and ropes. For example, a rotary crusher is used to cut large pieces of tangled garbage into smaller, relatively loose blocks by high-speed rotating blades, making it easier for subsequent sorting. However, during operation, the sorting device has difficulty accurately identifying and distinguishing some garbage that is similar in shape or has complex composition, making it impossible for the sorting device to accurately separate its parts.

[0030] 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.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 An embodiment of this utility model provides a visual recognition-based waste sorting device, including a transmission device 1. A connecting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the front of the transmission device 1. A transmission box 6 is fixedly connected to the front of the connecting plate 10. A mounting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the transmission box 6. A visual recognition device 8 is installed on the front of the mounting plate 7. A second motor 9 is installed at the bottom right side of the transmission box 6. The installation of the second motor 9 provides power to subsequent processes. A rotating rod 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 9. A rotating plate 4 is fixedly connected to the front of the rotating rod 5. A collection box 3 is provided at the bottom of the rotating plate 4. A conveying plate 17 is fixedly connected to the rear of the transmission device 1. A secondary sorting mechanism 2 is installed at the rear of the conveying plate 17. The secondary sorting mechanism 2 is used for secondary sorting of waste. A placement plate 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the transmission box 6. The installation of the placement plate 19 makes the second motor 9 more secure.

[0032] Specifically, during operation, the front connecting plate 10 of the transmission device 1 is connected to the transmission box 6. The mounting plate 7 on the top of the transmission box 6 is equipped with a vision recognition device 8, which is used to identify the waste in the transmission. When the vision recognition device 8 detects waste that cannot be further sorted, it sends a signal to the second motor 9 at the bottom right side of the transmission box 6. The output end of the second motor 9 then drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate upward, causing the rotating plate 4 at the front end of the rotating rod 5 to make a corresponding movement, preventing the waste from moving forward for sorting. The intercepted waste then falls into the collection box 3 at the bottom of the rotating plate 4. At the same time, the conveying plate 17 on the rear side of the transmission device 1 transports the waste that can be further sorted to the secondary sorting mechanism 2 for further processing. Through the above process, the effect of effectively sorting waste using the vision recognition device 8 is achieved.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5The secondary sorting mechanism 2 includes a mounting base plate 201, which is located at the bottom rear side of the conveyor plate 17. Multiple sliding wheels 206 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the top of the mounting base plate 201. A screening cylinder 203 is slidably connected to the top of the sliding wheels 206. The installation of the sliding wheels 206 facilitates the rotation of the screening cylinder 203. A first motor 202 is installed at the rear side of the screening cylinder 203. The installation of the first motor 202 provides power to the subsequent processes. A rotating rod 204 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 202. A mounting plate 207 is fixedly connected to the outer rear end of the rotating rod 204. Multiple connecting square plates 205 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the outer side of the rotating rod 204. Multiple collection boxes 11 are installed at equal intervals on the top of the mounting base plate 201. Multiple circular holes 20 are opened at equal intervals on the outer side of the mounting base plate 201. The installation of the collection boxes 11 facilitates the sorting of waste of different specifications.

[0034] Specifically, the first motor 202 at the rear end of the screening cylinder 203 is started, and its output shaft drives the rotating rod 204 to rotate. The mounting plate 207 connected to the outer rear end of the rotating rod 204 rotates accordingly, providing support and guidance for the screening cylinder 203. At the same time, multiple connecting square plates 205 fixed at equal intervals on the outer side of the rotating rod 204 push the screening cylinder 203 to move back and forth on the sliding wheel 206 to complete the screening of waste. During the screening process, due to the opening of circular holes 20 of different specifications, waste that meets different standards falls through the screening cylinder 203 into multiple collection boxes 11 that are equidistantly set on the top of the mounting base plate 201. Through the continuous rotation of the screening cylinder 203, it is ensured that the waste inside is thoroughly sorted, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the secondary sorting work. The model of the visual recognition device 8 is acA1300-200um.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A slot plate 16 is fixedly connected to the middle right side of multiple collection boxes 11. A notice board 14 is set inside the slot plate 16. A support frame 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transmission device 1. A storage box 12 is fixedly connected to the middle left side of the transmission device 1. A top cover 18 is installed on the top of the storage box 12. A handle 15 is fixedly connected to the middle top of the top of the top cover 18.

[0036] Specifically, the installation of the slot plate 16 facilitates the replacement of the notice board 14, the installation of the storage box 12 facilitates the storage and use of parts, and the installation of the handle 15 facilitates the opening and closing of the top cover 18.

[0037] Working principle: During operation, the connecting plate 10 on the front side of the transmission device 1 is connected to the transmission box 6. The visual recognition device 8 on the mounting plate 7 on the top of the transmission box 6 identifies the garbage being transported. When garbage that cannot be further sorted is identified, the visual recognition device 8 transmits a signal to the second motor 9 at the bottom right side of the transmission box 6. The output end of the second motor 9 drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate upward. The rotating plate 4 on the front side of the rotating rod 5 moves accordingly, preventing the garbage from continuing to move forward for sorting. The blocked garbage falls into the collection box 3 at the bottom of the rotating plate 4. At the same time, the conveying plate 17 on the rear side of the transmission device 1 transports the garbage that can be further sorted to the secondary sorting mechanism 2 for further processing. Through the above process, garbage can be sorted by the visual recognition device 8.

[0038] The first motor 202 on the rear side of the screening cylinder 203 is turned on, and its output end drives the rotating rod 204 to rotate. The mounting plate 207 connected to the rear end of the outer side of the rotating rod 204 rotates accordingly, providing support and guidance for the screening cylinder 203. At the same time, multiple connecting square plates 205 fixed at equal intervals on the outer side of the rotating rod 204 push the screening cylinder 203 to move back and forth on the sliding wheel 206, thereby screening the waste. During the screening process, waste that meets the conditions falls through the screening cylinder 203 into the collection box 11 that is set at equal intervals on the top of the mounting base plate 201. Through the continuous rotation of the screening cylinder 203, the waste inside is completely sorted, which ensures the smooth progress of the secondary sorting work.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is 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.
