Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical disc recycling, regeneration, and cleaning technology, specifically to an optical disc recycling, regeneration, and cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] In the digital age, various types of optical discs permeate people's lives, such as CDs, VCDs, and DVDs. Furthermore, with the development of the audio-visual and software industries, a huge number of new optical discs are produced every year. This inevitably generates a large amount of waste optical discs. Waste optical discs are a collective term for both obsolete and used optical discs. Obsolete optical discs refer to defective products, scraps, and unsaleable inventory generated during the production process, while used optical discs refer to those discarded after use or confiscated by authorities. Recycling and disposing of these waste optical discs is both environmentally friendly and resource-saving, and is necessary for building a resource-conserving society.
[0003] Traditional optical disc cleaning equipment typically involves immersing all discs at once for unified cleaning. This method has significant drawbacks, resulting in poor cleaning effectiveness. For example, the recovered discs are often in mixed conditions, including broken discs, those with oil stains, or those covered in dust. Cleaning broken discs during the unified cleaning process is ineffective and fails to achieve the cleaning objective. Furthermore, for discs with oil and dust, cross-contamination between different contaminants is likely to occur in the mixed cleaning environment, significantly reducing cleaning efficiency and making it difficult to achieve the desired cleanliness. Therefore, a new type of optical disc recycling and cleaning device is needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.
[0005] Therefore, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, industrial cameras and image processors work together to analyze and identify the status of optical discs: broken / irreparable optical discs are directly sorted into the waste box; intact optical discs are further separated according to the type of contamination: oily optical discs are pushed into a water tank containing a cleaning agent for special cleaning, while optical discs with only dust enter channel one and then fall into the water tank behind the substrate. This sorting and cleaning mechanism effectively avoids ineffective work and significantly improves cleaning efficiency and effect.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: the conveyor frame is provided with a wiping mechanism, the wiping mechanism including a rotating push rod that rotates through the bottom of the conveyor frame, two pulleys respectively sleeved on the bottom end of the T-shaped rotating rod and the bottom end of the rotating push rod, a belt connected between the two pulleys, and a horizontal pad suspended at the top of the channel, the horizontal pad being fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor frame.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: an opening suitable for rotating the push rod is provided on the rear side of the conveyor frame, and the opening is connected to the interior of the channel.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a second sleeve is rotatably sleeved at the bottom end of the rotating push rod; the first and second sleeves are made of the same material; the second sleeve is U-shaped and fixed to the bottom of the conveyor frame; and the bottom of the pulley on the rotating push rod is in contact with the bottom of the inner cavity of the second sleeve.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveyor frame, a waste box is attached to the top of the base plate, and the waste box is located at the bottom of the opening and closing door.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: two water tanks are fixedly connected to the top of the substrate, and the two water tanks are respectively located at the bottom of channel one and channel two.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, an industrial camera and an image processor work together to analyze and identify the status of optical discs: broken / irreparable optical discs are directly sorted into the waste box; intact optical discs are further distinguished according to the type of contamination: oily optical discs are pushed into a water tank containing a cleaning agent for special cleaning, while optical discs with only dust enter channel one and then fall into the water tank behind the substrate. This sorting and cleaning mechanism effectively avoids ineffective work and significantly improves cleaning efficiency and effect.
[0015] 2. In this utility model, when the motor is working, the two pulleys cooperate with the belt to drive the rotating push rod to rotate.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the present utility model can be combined with each other.
[0031] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this invention.
[0032] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention, providing a device for recycling, regenerating, and cleaning optical discs. Example 1:
[0033] Combination Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a recyclable optical disc recycling and cleaning device, including an analysis mechanism 100, a waste discharge mechanism 200 and a sorting mechanism 300. The analysis mechanism 100 includes an inclined conveyor frame 110, a table frame 120 connected to the top of the conveyor frame 110, an industrial camera 130 and an image processor 140 connected to the top of the table frame 120, and the industrial camera 130 and the image processor 140 are electrically connected.
[0034] Waste discharge mechanism 200, the waste discharge mechanism 200 includes a switch door 210 rotatably connected to the conveyor frame 110, and an electric swing door motor 220 connected between the conveyor frame 110 and the switch door 210;
[0035] The sorting mechanism 300 includes a partition 310 connected to the top of the conveyor frame 110, a first channel 320 and a second channel 330 located on the front and rear sides of the partition 310, a T-shaped rotating rod 340 rotatably passing through the bottom of the conveyor frame 110, a first sleeve 350 movably sleeved on the bottom end of the T-shaped rotating rod 340 and fixed to the bottom of the conveyor frame 110, and a motor 360 connected between the T-shaped rotating rod 340 and the first sleeve 350. The opening and closing door 210 is located at the top of the T-shaped rotating rod 340.
[0036] Furthermore, two water tanks 800 are fixedly connected to the top of the substrate 600. The two water tanks 800 are located at the bottom of channel one 320 and channel two 330, respectively. The provision of two water tanks 800 provides conditions for cleaning different types of recycled optical discs. Example 2:
[0037] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the conveyor frame 110 is provided with a wiping mechanism 400. The wiping mechanism 400 includes a rotating push rod 410 that rotatably passes through the bottom of the conveyor frame 110, two pulleys 420 respectively sleeved on the bottom end of the T-shaped rotating rod 340 and the bottom end of the rotating push rod 410, a belt 430 connected between the two pulleys 420, and a horizontal pad 440 suspended at the top of the channel 320. The horizontal pad 440 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor frame 110. When the motor 360 is working, the two pulleys 420 and the belt 430 cooperate to drive the rotating push rod 410 to rotate. Then the rotating push rod 410 squeezes the optical disc that has entered the channel 320. The optical disc then slides down under the interference compression of the horizontal pad 440, thereby scraping away the dust on the optical disc, effectively reducing the speed of water sludge accumulation and reducing water consumption.
[0038] Furthermore, the rear side of the conveyor frame 110 is provided with an opening suitable for the rotation of the rotating push rod 410. The opening is connected to the interior of the channel 320, and the opening is provided to provide conditions for the rotation of the rotating push rod 410.
[0039] Furthermore, a second sleeve 500 is rotatably sleeved at the bottom of the rotating push rod 410. The first sleeve 350 and the second sleeve 500 are made of the same material. The second sleeve 500 is U-shaped and fixed to the bottom of the conveyor frame 110. The bottom of the pulley 420 on the rotating push rod 410 fits against the bottom of the inner cavity of the second sleeve 500. The manufacturing method of the first sleeve 350 and the second sleeve 500 effectively reduces the manufacturing difficulty of this device. The two respectively stabilize the rotation of the T-shaped rotating rod 340 and the rotating push rod 410. Example 3:
[0040] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in the above embodiment, a base plate 600 is fixed to the bottom of the conveyor frame 110, and a waste box 700 is attached to the top of the base plate 600. The waste box 700 is located at the bottom of the switch door 210. The base plate 600 can improve the stability of the overall structure of the device.
[0041] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0042] When this device is put into actual use, the recovered optical discs slide down naturally from the top of the conveyor 110. The industrial camera 130 captures real-time images of each optical disc passing under the table 120 and uploads the captured images to the image processor 140 for analysis.
[0043] If the analysis determines that the disc is broken or irreparable, the electric swing gate operator 220 will open the switch door 210, allowing the waste disc to fall directly into the waste box 700. If the disc is intact, the switch door 210 will remain closed, and the system will further determine its contamination type.
[0044] When an optical disc is identified as oily, the output shaft of motor 360 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the T-shaped rotating rod 340 to push the optical disc into channel 2 330, and finally it falls into the water tank 800 containing the cleaning agent on the front side of the substrate 600 for special cleaning.
[0045] If the disc is identified as having only dust, the output shaft of motor 360 rotates in the forward direction, and the disc is also pushed into channel 320 through T-shaped rotating rod 340 to achieve channel-specific circulation;
[0046] This differentiated cleaning mechanism effectively avoids ineffective cleaning operations and significantly improves cleaning efficiency and treatment results.
[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
