Embodiment

[0035] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 —6 to make further detailed description of the present application.

[0036] The embodiments of the present application disclose a material delivery device, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , which comprises a frame 1, a feeding hopper 2 for receiving and outputting the sorted articles by hand, a collecting hopper 3 for receiving the articles of the feeding hopper 2, and a weighing assembly 5 for weighing the collecting hopper 3.

[0037] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the collecting hopper 3 is installed vertically on the frame 1, the frame 1 is provided with a driving mechanism 4 for driving the collecting hopper 3 to move, the driving mechanism 4 comprises two driving chains 41 rotatably installed on the two sides of the frame 1, two driving sprockets 42, a driving motor 43, and two slide rails 44 fixedly installed on the two sides of the frame 1, the two slide rails 44 are both vertical, the two driving chains 41 are also vertical, and the two slide rails 44 are respectively located at the two driving chains 41.

[0038] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 5 andFigure 6 The rack 1 is arranged at one side of a bin 7 for storing the sorted waste containers, the bin 7 has an upper opening 6 for feeding. The upper ends of the two slide rails 44 are bent to extend into the upper opening 6 of the bin 7, and the bent ends of the slide rails 44 are horizontal, and the slide rails 44 are located between the driving chains 41 and the bin 7.

[0039] With reference to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the collecting bucket 3 comprises a bracket 31 and a collecting bucket body 32, the collecting bucket body 32 is arranged on the bracket 31, the bracket 31 is located between the two driving chains 41, and a first mounting shaft 313 and a second mounting shaft 314 are fixedly arranged on both sides of the bracket 31, the two first mounting shafts 313 are respectively slidably arranged on the two slide rails 44 and are in rotating cooperation with the slide rails 44, and the two second mounting shafts 314 are respectively rotatably arranged on the two driving chains 41.

[0040] With reference to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the two driving sprockets 42 are rotatably arranged on the rack 1, the driving sprockets 42 are located at the bottom of the rack 1 and are respectively engaged with the two driving chains 41, the two driving sprockets 42 are coaxially and fixedly connected with each other, and the driving motor 43 is in transmission connection with one of the driving sprockets 42 through a gear set.

[0041] With reference to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the driving motor 43 drives the bracket 31 to ascend, when the bracket 31 ascends to the position that the first mounting shaft 313 is located at the bent end of the slide rail 44, with the continuous rotation of the driving chain 41, the first mounting shaft 313 slides along the bent section of the slide rail 44 under the pushing of the second mounting shaft 314 and the bracket 31, thereby driving the bracket 31 and the collecting bucket 3 to move and overturn towards the upper opening 6 of the bin 7, when the second mounting shaft 314 moves to the height of the bent end of the slide rail 44 under the driving of the driving chain 41, the bracket 31 is completely overturned, thereby driving the collecting bucket 3 to completely overturn to pour the internal materials into the bin 7.

[0042] With reference to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , after the materials are poured, the driving motor 43 reverses to drive the collecting bucket 3 to descend and reset, since the bent section of the slide rail 44 is horizontal, when the bracket 31 descends under the driving of the driving chain 41, the first mounting shaft 313 is not easy to be stuck between the slide rail 44 and the rack 1, thereby avoiding the failure of the bracket 31 to descend.

[0043] With reference to Figure 5 and Figure 6The two sides of the support 31 are both provided with two first long holes 311, the length direction of the first long hole 311 is vertical, and the two first long holes 311 on the same side are distributed along the vertical direction.

The lower end of the second long hole 312 is connected with the lower end of the first long hole 311 on the upper side. When the support 31 slides to the horizontal section of the sliding rail 44, under the action of the gravity of the collecting hopper 3, the support shaft 321 will slide into the second long hole 312, thereby driving the collecting hopper 3 to continue to rotate downward, so that the collecting hopper 3 is inclined downward, and the plastic containers in the collecting hopper 3 are less likely to remain in the collecting hopper 3.

[0045] With reference to Figure 5 and Figure 6 One end of the support shaft 321 is coaxially fixedly installed with a stop ring 322, the stop ring 322 abuts against the support 31 to limit the support shaft 321, so that the support shaft 321 is less likely to slide out of the first long hole 311.

[0046] With reference to Figure 5 The weighing assembly 5 includes four weighing sensors 51 distributed in a rectangular shape, and the four weighing sensors 51 are all fixedly installed on the bottom of the rack 1.

Moreover, the hole diameter of the upper end of the first long hole 311 is greater than the hole diameter of the lower end of the first long hole 311, when the support shaft 321 abuts against the lower end of the first long hole 311, the side wall of the support shaft 321 abuts against the lower end of the first long hole 311, so that the support shaft 321 is less likely to be stuck when sliding in the first long hole 311.

[0050] With reference to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , when the weighing sensor 51 detects that the weight in the collecting hopper 3 reaches the standard, the sealing cylinder 25 is started, the piston rod of the sealing cylinder 25 is extended, the sealing plate 21 is pushed by the push rod 26 to close the lower opening 8 of the feeding hopper 2. During the feeding and the closing of the lower opening 8 of the feeding hopper 2 by the sealing plate 21, the materials are not easy to slide out from the side of the sealing plate 21 due to the blocking of the two first baffles 22.

[0051] With reference to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a second baffle 23 is fixedly arranged at the upper opening 6 of the feeding hopper 2, a third baffle 24 is fixedly arranged on each of the two sides of the second baffle 23, the third baffle 24 is integrally connected with the feeding hopper 2, the second baffle 23 and the third baffle 24 are located on the other side of the feeding side of the feeding hopper 2, the second baffle 23 and the third baffle 24 are higher than the upper opening 6 of the feeding hopper 2, and the manual feeding of the plastic containers into the feeding hopper 2 is not easy to be thrown out of the feeding hopper 2 due to the blocking of the second baffle 23 and the third baffle 24.
