[0020] like Figure 1-8The following describes a disposable chopsticks recycling machine: A crushing box with semi-circular sides. Support legs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the left and right side walls of the crushing box. A discharge port is located in the center of the bottom of the crushing box. A cutting box is fixedly connected to the top left side of the crushing box. The left side of the cutting box is semi-circular, and its bottom is connected to the top of the crushing box. A feed hopper is fixedly connected to the top of the right side wall of the cutting box. The bottom of the feed hopper slopes downwards to the left. A breaking roller is located inside the cutting box. A connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the center of both the front and rear ends of the breaking roller. The two connecting shafts are rotatably connected to the front and rear side walls of the cutting box, respectively, and extend through the cutting box. The outer wall of the crushing roller is fixedly connected to the cutting teeth, which are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the crushing roller. There is a gap between the cutting teeth and the cutting box. The right inner wall of the cutting box is fixedly connected to the stop teeth, which are evenly distributed front and back. The stop teeth are located below the feed hopper and are staggered with the cutting teeth. The crushing box has two crushing rollers inside, which are distributed left and right. The outer wall of the crushing roller is fixedly connected to the crushing teeth, which are densely distributed on the outer wall of the crushing roller. The crushing teeth of the two crushing rollers are staggered and fitted with gaps. The front and rear ends of the crushing rollers are fixedly connected to the second connecting shaft. The second connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the front and rear side walls of the crushing box, respectively. The second connecting shaft passes through the outer wall of the crushing box.

[0021] The rear ends of connecting shaft one and connecting shaft two on the left rear side are both fixedly connected to pulley one, and belt one is sleeved between the outer walls of the two pulleys one. The motor is fixedly installed on the rear right side of the top of the crushing box. The rear end of the motor's output shaft and the rear end of connecting shaft one on the right rear side are both fixedly connected to pulley two, and belt two is sleeved between the outer walls of the two pulleys two.

[0022] The front ends of the two connecting shafts 2 are fixedly connected to gear 1. There are two connecting shafts 3 between the two gears 1. The rear end of the connecting shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the front side wall of the crushing box. The front end of the connecting shaft 3 is fixedly connected to gear 2. The two gears 2 mesh with each other and each of the two gears 2 meshes with the two gears 1 respectively.

[0023] Disposable chopsticks are fed into the cutting box 3 through the feeding hopper 4. The bottom of the feeding hopper 4 is tilted to the lower left so that the chopsticks can slide smoothly into the cutting box 3.

[0024] When the chopsticks enter the cutting box 3, they will encounter the cutting roller 6. The cutting roller 6 rotates by the cutting teeth 8 on its outer wall. There is a certain gap between these cutting teeth 8 and the inner wall of the cutting box 3 to ensure that they can rotate smoothly without getting stuck.

[0025] Meanwhile, the right inner wall of the cutting box 3 is fixed with baffle teeth 9. These baffle teeth 9 are arranged alternately with the cutting teeth 8. When the chopsticks are grabbed and rotated by the cutting teeth 8, they will be further broken by the baffle teeth 9, thereby achieving primary crushing.

[0026] The severed chopstick fragments fall into the pulverizing chamber 1, where two pulverizing rollers 10 rotate, causing the pulverizing teeth 11 on their outer walls to rotate as well.

[0027] The shredding teeth 11 are densely distributed on the outer wall of the shredding roller 10, and the shredding teeth 11 of the two shredding rollers 10 are staggered. In this way, when chopstick fragments are rolled between the two shredding rollers 10, they will be thoroughly shredded.

[0028] The rotation of the breaking roller 6 and the crushing roller 10 is achieved through a series of transmission devices. The rear ends of the connecting shaft 1 7 and the connecting shaft 2 12 on the left side are both fixed with pulleys 13. These two pulleys 13 are connected by belt 14 to achieve synchronous rotation.

[0029] Meanwhile, the rear end of the output shaft of motor 15 and the rear end of the connecting shaft 7 on the right rear are also connected by pulley 16 and belt 17 to provide power to the breaking roller 6.

[0030] In addition, the front ends of the two connecting shafts 12 on the front side are also synchronized through the meshing of gear 18, connecting shaft 3 19 and gear 20, ensuring that the two crushing rollers 10 can work smoothly and in a coordinated manner.

[0031] This utility model only protects the mechanical parts; the functions implemented by the software control part are not within the scope of protection of this utility model.
