Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of item classification and collection technology, and in particular to an item classification and collection device. Background Technology

[0002] Item sorting and collection devices are an indispensable part of daily life organization. They are used to help classify, manage, and store items, thereby improving space utilization and tidiness.

[0003] A current item sorting and collection device uses a fan to blow airflow, which causes lightweight items put in through the inlet to have a longer parabolic path under the action of the airflow, so that they enter the lightweight collection chamber farther away from the inlet. Meanwhile, heavier items are less affected by the airflow, have a shorter parabolic path, and can smoothly enter the heavy collection chamber closer to the inlet. Thus, the device sorts lightweight and heavy items by means of airflow separation.

[0004] However, in actual use, lightweight and heavy items are often mixed together when items are put into the inlet. When these lightweight and heavy items are put into the inlet together, the airflow from the fan makes it difficult to separate them, causing them all to enter the heavy collection chamber closer to the inlet, thus affecting the accuracy of item classification. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the main objective of this utility model, it provides a sorting and collection device for items with high accuracy, high completeness, and stable and reliable operation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0006] To achieve the main objective of this utility model, it provides a sorting and collecting device for items, including a box body, a top cover, side covers, a sorting box, an elastic rope, and a fan. The top of the box body has an upper opening that communicates with the collection cavity of the box body. The top cover can open or close the upper opening. The sides of the box body have side openings that communicate with the collection cavity. The side covers can open or close the side openings. The sorting box is located in the upper cavity of the collection cavity. The two ends of the elastic rope are respectively connected between the sorting box and the box body, and the upper opening of the sorting box corresponds to the upper opening. The lower end of the sorting box has a sieve hole. The fan is located in the airflow cavity of the box body. The box body has an air inlet that communicates with the airflow cavity. The periphery of the collection cavity has a first air inlet that faces the sorting box and communicates with the air outlet of the airflow cavity.

[0007] As can be seen from the above scheme, the top cover of the item sorting and collection device of this utility model opens the upper box opening of the box body, and the items to be collected are placed into the sorting box through the upper opening of the sorting box. Then, small items to be collected pass through the sieve holes of the sorting box to be separated into the collection cavity of the box body.

[0008] Because this utility model's item sorting and collection device uses elastic ropes to support the sorting box within the collection cavity of the box body, the sorting box has the ability to swing. By turning on the fan, external airflow enters the airflow cavity through the air inlet of the box body. The airflow within the airflow cavity is pressurized and transported from the airflow cavity outlet to the first air inlet on the periphery of the collection cavity. The pressurized airflow blows towards the sorting box from the first air inlet on the periphery of the collection cavity, causing the sorting box to swing. The swinging sorting box can vibrate and disperse the items to be collected inside, dispersing and completely separating small-volume items from the sorting box through the sieving holes into the lower cavity of the collection cavity. This accurately separates all small-volume items from the sorting box into the collection cavity, while large-volume items remain in the sorting box, and small-volume items are completely and accurately separated into the collection cavity. This achieves precise item sorting and collection, improves item sorting efficiency, and increases the utilization rate of the item sorting and collection device.

[0009] When you need to remove items, you can open the top opening of the box through the top cover to take out large items from the sorting box, and open the side opening of the box through the side cover to take out small items from the collection chamber, which is convenient and quick.

[0010] Therefore, the item sorting and collection device of this utility model, by setting up sorting boxes, elastic ropes and fans, enables items to be sorted quickly and completely, improves the completeness and accuracy of item sorting, and is stable and reliable in operation, thereby improving the efficiency of item sorting, increasing the utilization rate of the item sorting and collection device, and thus enhancing the user experience.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0027] See Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment discloses an item sorting and collection device 10, including a box body 11 and a top cover 12. The top of the box body 11 has an upper opening, which is connected to the collection cavity 111 of the box body 11. The top cover 12 can open or close the upper opening of the box body 11. Furthermore, the item sorting and collection device 10 of this embodiment also includes a side cover 13, a sorting box 15, an elastic rope 16, and a fan 19. The periphery of the box body 11 has a side opening connected to the collection cavity 111. The side cover 13 can open or close the side opening of the box body 11. The sorting box 15 is located in the upper cavity of the collection cavity 111. The two ends of the elastic rope 16 are respectively connected between the sorting box 15 and the box body 11, and the upper opening 151 of the sorting box 15 corresponds to the upper opening of the box body 11. The lower end of the sorting box 15 has a sieve hole 152. In addition, in this embodiment, the fan 19 is installed in the airflow cavity 115 of the housing 11. The housing 11 has an air inlet 114 that communicates with the airflow cavity 115. The periphery of the collection cavity 111 has a first air inlet 112 that is provided through it. The first air inlet 112 is positioned facing the sorting box 15 and is connected to the air outlet 116 of the airflow cavity 115.

[0028] See Figure 6In this embodiment, the top cover 12 of the item sorting and collection device 10 opens the upper opening of the box 11, and the items to be collected are placed from the upper opening of the box 11 and through the upper opening 151 of the sorting box 15 into the sorting box 15. Then, small items to be collected pass through the sieve hole 152 of the sorting box 15 to be separated into the collection chamber 111 of the box 11.

[0029] Because the item sorting and collection device 10 in this embodiment uses an elastic rope 16 to support the sorting box 15 in the collection cavity 111 of the box body 11, the sorting box 15 has the ability to swing. Thus, by turning on the fan 19, external airflow enters the airflow cavity 115 through the air inlet 114 of the box body 11. The airflow in the airflow cavity 115 is pressurized and transported from the air outlet 116 of the airflow cavity 115 to the first air inlet 112 on the periphery wall of the collection cavity 111. The pressurized airflow blows from the first air inlet 112 on the periphery wall of the collection cavity 111 toward the sorting box 15, thereby causing the sorting box 15 to swing. It can vibrate and disperse the items to be collected inside the sorting box 15 to disperse the small-volume items in the sorting box 15 and completely shake them off from the sieving holes 152 of the sorting box 15 into the lower cavity of the collection chamber 111 of the box body 11. This accurately separates all the small-volume items in the sorting box 15 into the collection chamber 111 of the box body 11, so that the large-volume items are retained in the sorting box 15, and the small-volume items are completely and accurately shaken off and separated into the collection chamber 111 of the box body 11. This achieves accurate classification and collection of items, improves the efficiency of item classification, and increases the utilization rate of the item classification and collection device 10.

[0030] When it is necessary to take out items, the upper opening of the box 11 can be opened through the top cover 12 to take out large items in the sorting box 15, and the side opening of the box 11 can be opened through the side cover 13 to take out small items in the collection chamber 111 of the box 11, which is convenient and quick.

[0031] Therefore, the item sorting and collection device 10 in this embodiment, by setting up a sorting box 15, an elastic rope 16 and a fan 19, enables items to be sorted quickly and completely, improves the completeness and accuracy of item sorting, and is stable and reliable in operation, thereby improving the efficiency of item sorting, increasing the utilization rate of the item sorting and collection device 10, and thus enhancing the user experience.

[0032] To further improve the completeness and accuracy of item classification, in this embodiment, the first sidewall 1111 and the second sidewall 1112 of the periphery of the collection cavity 111 are respectively provided with a first air inlet 112. The first sidewall 1111 and the second sidewall 1112 are arranged opposite to each other. The first diversion cavity 118 of the box body 11 is located outside the first sidewall 1111, and the second diversion cavity 119 of the box body 11 is located outside the second sidewall 1112, so that the first diversion cavity 118 and the second diversion cavity 119 of the box body 11... The cavities 119 are located on the outside of the first sidewall 1111 and the second sidewall 1112, respectively. The first diversion cavity 118 is connected between the first air inlet 112 and the air outlet 116 of the first sidewall 1111, and the second diversion cavity 119 is connected between the first air inlet 112 and the air outlet 116 of the second sidewall 1112. This allows air to be blown to drive the sorting box 15 to swing left and right, increasing the frequency of the sorting box 15 to oscillate and disperse the items to be collected inside, thereby improving the efficiency of item sorting.

[0033] Combination Figure 6 In this embodiment, the supply chamber 117 of the housing 11 is connected to the air outlet 116, the first exhaust port 1171 of the supply chamber 117 is connected to the first diversion chamber 118, and the second exhaust port 1172 of the supply chamber 117 is connected to the second diversion chamber 119. The item sorting and collection device 10 also includes a first valve plate 21, a first valve control mechanism 22, a second valve plate 23, a second valve control mechanism 24, and two distance sensors 18. The first valve control mechanism 22 can control the first valve plate 21 to open or close the first exhaust port 1171, and the second valve control mechanism 24 can control the second valve plate 23 to open or close the second exhaust port 1172. Detection holes 153 are provided through the opposite sides of the sorting box 15. Two distance sensors 18 are respectively set on the inner walls of the opposite sides of the collection chamber 111. One distance sensor 18 is correspondingly set with one detection hole 153. The maximum aperture of the detection hole 153 is equal to or less than the maximum aperture of the sieve hole 152.

[0034] In this embodiment, two distance sensors 18 are respectively configured to correspond to the detection holes 153 on both sides of the sorting box 15. One distance sensor 18 detects the distance between the items on the left side of the sorting box 15 and the left side wall of the sorting box 15. When one distance sensor 18 detects that the distance between the items on the left side of the sorting box 15 and the left side wall of the sorting box 15 is small, it indicates that the items in the sorting box 15 are piled up on the left side. This activates the first valve control mechanism 22 to control the first valve plate 21 to open the first exhaust port 1171, thereby enabling... The first exhaust port 1171 of the supply chamber 117 is connected to the first diversion chamber 118. Airflow is supplied from the first diversion chamber 118 to the first air inlet 112 on the left side to blow towards the sorting box 15, thereby causing the sorting box 15 to swing to the right. The swinging sorting box 15 can disperse the items accumulated on the left side of the sorting box 15 to the right side, quickly dispersing small items from the items to be collected within the sorting box 15 so that they fall through the sieve holes 152 and separate into the collection chamber 111 of the box body 11. In the lower cavity, correspondingly, the other side distance sensor 18 detects the distance between the items on the right side of the sorting box 15 and the right side wall of the sorting box 15. When the other side distance sensor 18 detects that the distance between the items on the right side of the sorting box 15 and the right side wall of the sorting box 15 is small, it indicates that the items in the sorting box 15 are piled up on the right side of the sorting box 15, thereby activating the second valve control mechanism 24 to control the second valve plate 23 to open the second exhaust port 1172, so that the second exhaust port 1172 of the supply cavity 117 is connected to the second diversion cavity 119. When the airflow is unobstructed, it is supplied from the second diversion chamber 119 to the first air inlet 112 on the right side to blow towards the sorting box 15, thereby causing the sorting box 15 to swing to the left. The swinging sorting box 15 can shake and disperse the items piled on the right side of the sorting box 15 to the left side of the sorting box 15, so as to quickly disperse the small-volume items in the sorting box 15 to be shaken off from the sieve hole 152 of the sorting box 15 and separated into the lower end cavity of the collection chamber 111 of the box body 11, thereby greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of item sorting.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first valve control mechanism 22 can control the first valve plate 21 to move horizontally to open or close the first exhaust port 1171, and in this embodiment, the second valve control mechanism 24 can control the second valve plate 23 to move horizontally to open or close the second exhaust port 1172. Further, in this embodiment, the first valve control mechanism 22 and the second valve control mechanism 24 can be configured by a motor, a lead screw, or other similar structures; alternatively, in this embodiment, the first valve control mechanism 22 and the second valve control mechanism 24 can be configured by a motor, gears, a rack, or other similar structures.

[0036] To improve operational stability and reliability, in this embodiment, the first valve plate 21 is located within the first diversion cavity 118. First sliding grooves 1181 are respectively formed on the opposite side walls of the first diversion cavity 118, extending in the moving direction of the first valve plate 21. The two ends of the first valve plate 21 are slidably located within the two first sliding grooves 1181. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second valve plate 23 is located within the second diversion cavity 119, with second sliding grooves 1191 respectively formed on the opposite side walls of the second diversion cavity 119, extending in the moving direction of the second valve plate 23. The two ends of the second valve plate 23 are slidably located within the two second sliding grooves 1191.

[0037] To prevent small items separated from the sorting box 15 from accumulating in the middle of the collection cavity 111 of the box body 11, in this embodiment, a second air inlet 113 is provided through the periphery of the collection cavity 111. The second air inlet 113 is located below the sorting box 15 in the vertical direction and is connected to the air outlet 116. Thus, the airflow blown by the second air inlet 113 can blow away and disperse the small items collected in the collection cavity 111 of the box body 11, thereby maximizing the utilization of the collection cavity 111 of the box body 11.

[0038] In order to prevent airflow from contaminating the items, a filter screen 20 is provided in the air inlet 114 of this embodiment. The filter screen 20 can filter and purify the airflow entering the housing 11.

[0039] To monitor the status of items inside the sorting bin 15 in real time, the item sorting and collection device 10 in this embodiment also includes a monitor 17. The monitor 17 is installed on the inner side of the top cover 12 and is used to monitor the status of items inside the sorting bin 15. It can monitor the changes in the quantity, color, shape, and frequency of use of items inside the sorting bin 15 in real time, making it easier for users to manage the items inside the sorting bin 15. For example, the monitor 17 records the increase or decrease in the quantity of items inside the sorting bin 15, which can help detect the loss or addition of items; the monitor 17 identifies changes in the color of items inside the sorting bin 15, such as color changes caused by temperature and humidity; the monitor 17 observes changes in the shape of items inside the sorting bin 15, and identifies whether the items are deformed or damaged.

[0040] To facilitate the movement of the item sorting and collection device 10 in this embodiment, the item sorting and collection device 10 also includes sliding wheels 14. The sliding wheels 14 protrude from the bottom end of the housing 11, making it easy for the item sorting and collection device 10 to be moved to different collection scenarios. Specifically, the sliding wheels 14 in this embodiment are omnidirectional wheels.

[0041] To improve the aesthetic appearance of the item sorting and collection device 10 in this embodiment, the air inlet 114 is located at the bottom of the housing 11. Since the sliding wheel 14 protrudes from the bottom of the housing 11, it raises the bottom of the housing 11, allowing the air inlet 114 at the bottom of the housing 11 to smoothly receive air, thus avoiding the air inlet 114 being located at the top or sides of the housing 11 and affecting its appearance. Specifically, in this embodiment, the fan 19 is vertically located between the collection chamber 111 and the air inlet 114; that is, the airflow chamber 115 is vertically located between the collection chamber 111 and the air inlet 114, and the supply chamber 117 is vertically located between the airflow chamber 115 and the collection chamber 111, making the item sorting and collection device 10 of this embodiment compact in structure.

[0042] To facilitate user operation of the top cover 12, a first hand hook groove 121 is recessed on the outer side of the top cover 12 in this embodiment, allowing the user's fingers to enter the first hand hook groove 121 to control the top cover 12 to open or close the upper opening of the box 11. In addition, a second hand hook groove 131 is recessed on the outer side of the side cover 13 in this embodiment, allowing the user's fingers to enter the second hand hook groove 131 to control the side cover 13 to open or close the side opening of the box 11.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the top cover 12 is rotatably hinged to the top of the box body 11, or the top cover 12 is movably mounted on the top of the box body 11. In this embodiment, the side cover 13 is rotatably hinged to the periphery of the box body 11, or the side cover 13 is movably mounted on the periphery of the box body 11.

[0044] The above embodiments are merely preferred examples of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles of this utility model patent application should be included within the scope of this utility model patent application.
