Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of scales, and in particular to a foldable portable waste weighing and recycling device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern urban solid waste management systems, waste weighing, as a core component of waste sorting, metered charging, and resource recovery, places higher demands on the portability, adaptability, and intelligence of equipment. Current mainstream weighing equipment suffers from significant technical shortcomings:
[0003] Electronic scales: Although they have high precision (0.1g-1g level), their fixed structure and compact size (usually ≤30cm×20cm) make them only suitable for laboratory or counter settings and cannot meet the mobile weighing needs of outdoor waste recycling.
[0004] Platform scales: They have a strong load-bearing capacity (50kg-300kg), but they are bulky (≥60cm×50cm) and non-foldable, making them difficult to deploy in space-constrained scenarios such as community garbage disposal points and temporary recycling stations.
[0005] Traditional weighing scales are designed for large items (over 1 ton), occupy an area of ≥2 square meters, and require fixed installation, making them completely unsuitable for weighing waste in scattered locations such as homes and small businesses. Therefore, to solve the above problems, this application provides a foldable portable waste weighing and recycling device. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a foldable, portable waste weighing and recycling device.
[0007] This application provides a foldable portable waste weighing and recycling device, which includes a glass slide constituting the main body of the weighing device, a support frame, and a sensing module disposed below the four ends of the support frame. A control module and a battery module are disposed below the glass slide. The glass slide is divided into a left glass slide and a right glass slide, and the support frame is divided into a left support frame and a right support frame. The lower ends of the left support frame and the right support frame are hinged by an elastic element at their close positions, and an abutment strip is provided on the upper section.
[0008] When the left and right supports unfold, the elastic element contracts, the two abutment strips come into contact, the left and right supports fold together, the elastic element unfolds, and the two abutment strips separate and are arranged in parallel.
[0009] By dividing the existing weighing equipment into sections and connecting the supports with elastic hinges, the two sides of the weighing equipment can be folded and unfolded. The abutment strip ensures the structural stability after unfolding and prevents the glass slide connection position from being concave during the weighing process, which would affect the accuracy of the weighing data.
[0010] Preferably, the elastic member is in a C-shaped structure, and two flat sections are integrally formed on the opening side of the C-shaped structure, and the C-shaped structure is located below and outside the support.
[0011] Preferably, an inner core is fixed at the middle line position of the inner side of the C-shaped structure of the elastic member.
[0012] Preferably, in the unfolded state of the left support and the right support, the flat sections of the elastic member are attached to each other, and the two abutting strips are in abutment.
[0013] Preferably, the left support is welded with a left frame at the end, the right support is welded with a right frame at the end, and the left frame and the right frame are parallel to the direction of the rotating shaft and are both provided with notches.
[0014] Preferably, the notches are inserted with an insertion block for fixing the position between the left support and the right support.
[0015] Preferably, when the insertion block is inserted, a gap is provided between the sensing modules at the bottom of the left support and the right support.
[0016] In summary, the present application has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0017] By dividing the existing weighing device, the supports are hingedly connected through the elastic member, so that the two sides of the weighing device can be folded and unfolded, and the abutting strips and the inner core ensure the stability of the unfolded structure and avoid the inner recess of the glass connection position during the weighing process, which affects the precision of the weighing data.
[0018] By providing the elastic member between the left support and the right support, the elastic member increases the distance between them when reversely twisted, which realizes the folding and effectively avoids the contact between the sensing modules, thereby avoiding the sensing modules being always in a deformed state and affecting the weighing precision.

Detailed Implementation
[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Figure 8 This application will be described in further detail.
[0029] A foldable, portable waste weighing and recycling device, as described in the reference Figure 1 - Figure 8 The following is the content of Embodiment 1 of this application: There are many types of existing weighing equipment, such as electronic scales, platform scales, body scales, and weighbridges. Given that electronic scales are usually designed for high-precision weighing, platform scales are large in size, and weighbridges are mainly used for large objects, we chose to improve upon the body scale. On the one hand, it is small in size and easy to modify, and on the other hand, it has a large weighing range, which can meet the needs of waste recycling.
[0030] Taking a common commercially available weighing scale as an example, firstly, remove its support frame, as well as the battery module 7, control module 6, and sensor module 4 installed on the frame. Then, use a cutting machine to cut the glass slide into a left glass slide 11 and a right glass slide 12, or directly replace it with a new glass slide. Construct a cross-shaped assembly support, including a left support 31 and a right support 32, which are positioned close to each other at their intersection. On the adjacent end faces of both the left support 31 and the right support 32, a groove 1 for welding the elastic element 9 and a groove 2 for welding the abutment strip 8 are provided. The flat section of the elastic element 9 is installed in the groove 1 of the left support 31 and the right support 32, respectively, while its C-shaped section is located on the outside of the support. The abutment strip 8 is installed in the groove 2 and protrudes from the groove 2. The inner core 91 is fixed at the center line of the inner side of the C-shaped segment of the elastic element 9. The inner core 91 is installed as follows: holes are made at both ends of the center line of the C-shaped segment of the elastic element 9, and steel wires are placed at corresponding positions on the inner core 91. The steel wires are passed through the holes and tied at the outer side of the elastic element 9 to ensure the stability of the inner core 91 inside the elastic element 9. This method reduces the impact of the inner core 91 on the bending of the elastic element 9 during folding, and also ensures that the inner core 91 remains inside the C-shaped segment of the elastic element 9 when unfolded.
[0031] The inner core 91 is in full contact with the outer wall of the device in the expanded state and the inner wall of the C-shaped section of the elastic member 9. In the expanded state, the two flat sections of the elastic member 9 abut each other, and the abutting strips 8 also abut each other, so that in this state, the contact area in the vertical direction is large. At this time, if a force is applied to the upper side of the glass sheet, causing the left support 31 and the right support 32 to rotate about the position of the abutting strip 8, then at this time, the C-shaped section of the elastic member 9 will correspondingly deform, and the distance between its two horizontal sides will increase, and the vertical distance will decrease. However, since the middle position of the C-shaped section of the elastic member 9 is welded with the inner core 91, it will limit the deformation of the C-shaped section, thereby preventing the middle position from sinking due to the force applied to the upper side of the glass sheet. Therefore, both glass sheets can remain horizontal and can perform good weighing operations.
[0032] A groove is provided at the end position of the left support 31 and the right support 32, and the sensor 42 of the sensing module 4 is installed at this position. The gasket 41 is connected to the sensing section of the sensor 42, and when the gasket 41 is pressed, it will displace the sensing section, causing the sensor 42 to deform and the resistance to change, thereby achieving measurement of the weight above.
[0033] After completing the measurement of the weight above, the control module 6 and the display screen 2 are adhered to the left glass sheet 11, the battery module 7 is installed on the right glass sheet 12, and the wires between the components are connected. Since the weighing of the present application is based on the existing body weight scale, the weighing and control methods are the same as the prior art, and will not be disclosed in detail here.
[0034] Then, a left frame 51 of L-shaped structure is welded on the side of the left support 31 away from the elastic member 9, and a right frame 52 of L-shaped structure is welded on the side of the right support 32 away from the elastic member 9. A slot one 511 is provided on the left frame 51, and a slot two 521 is provided on the right frame 52. The slot one 511 and the slot two 521 are used for inserting the block 10. The block 10 is of U-shaped structure to match the slot one 511 and the slot two 521, and a handle is welded on the outside of the closed section. The two sections of the open side are inserted into the slot one 511 and the slot two 521, respectively, and the closed end is located between the left glass sheet 11 and the right glass sheet 12. In the locked state, the C-shaped section of the elastic member 9 expands to both sides. Since the width of the C-shaped section after expansion is larger than that in the contracted state (for example, Figure 7As shown, the center of the C-shaped section after folding outwards, the diameter increases, the C-shaped section at this time the corresponding chord length is greater than the original state of the diameter, so at this time the gap between the left and right support 31 and 32 increases, the inner core 91 protruding in the elastic member 9 arc-shaped end inside, its position does not affect the deformation of the C-shaped piece. Folded after the gap between the sensor module 4, not in contact with each other, so as to effectively avoid the problem of long-term compression, the accuracy of the sensor 42 decline.
[0035] The above describes a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, a portable folding garbage weighing recycling equipment provided by the present disclosure, however, those skilled in the art can understand that the above specific embodiments can be made in various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present disclosure, and various technical features and structures proposed by the present disclosure can be combined without exceeding the protection scope of the present disclosure, and the protection scope of the present disclosure is determined by the appended claims.
