Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage container recycling technology, and more specifically to a beverage container recycling device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing beverage container recycling equipment typically involves feeding beverage containers into a compression or crushing device located above the recycling bin, where they are compressed or crushed before falling into the recycling bin.

[0003] To meet the need for increased recycling capacity, multiple recycling bins are set up. Since beverage bottles fall vertically downwards, existing technologies typically include a compression / crushing device above each recycling bin. However, compression or crushing devices are expensive. In this context, adding compression or crushing devices would multiply the cost of beverage container recycling equipment.

[0004] Alternatively, if only one large and long recycling bin is set up, the beverage bottles from the outlet of the compression / crushing equipment will fall vertically into the recycling bin, which can easily cause the beverage bottles to accumulate at one end of the recycling bin, making it impossible to fill the recycling bin and resulting in wasted volume.

[0030] First embodiment:

[0031] A beverage container recycling device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the device includes a main body 1, a bottle feeding module 2, and a compression module 3 below the bottle feeding module 2. Materials (beverage bottles / cans) are fed into the bottle feeding port of the bottle feeding module 2, and after being identified by an internal code reading module and AI recognition module, they fall into the compression module 3 (or crushing module). The materials are compressed and reduced in volume by the compression module 3 (or crushed by the crushing module) before falling. Below the compression module 3 are a spreading and guiding module and a material storage frame 4. The spreading and guiding module guides the materials away from the compression module 3 towards the material storage frame 4, where the materials are ultimately stored.

[0032] In this embodiment, the even spreading guide module includes a conveyor belt 5 disposed below the compression module 3. The conveyor belt 5 covers the area below the outlet of the compression module 3 and extends away from the compression module 3. After the material falls from the outlet of the compression module 3, it will fall onto the conveyor belt 5, be transported to the end of the conveyor belt 5, and then fall into the material storage box 4.

[0033] In this embodiment, the material storage frame 4 includes a first recycling frame 401 and a second recycling frame 402. A conveyor belt 5 is positioned above the material storage frame 4, with both ends extending above the first recycling frame 401 and the second recycling frame 402, respectively. The conveyor belt 5 can switch conveying directions, allowing it to transport beverage bottles to the first recycling frame 401 and the second recycling frame 402 when conveying in different directions. This allows one compression module 3 to be used with two recycling frames, increasing recycling capacity while reducing equipment costs.

[0034] The main body of the equipment 1 is equipped with full-load sensors 11 above the first recycling box 401 and the second recycling box 402 respectively. The full-load sensors 11 detect whether the recycling box is full. The full-load sensors 11 perform a delay logic. When the full-load signal is detected for 10 seconds, the maintenance personnel are notified to empty the box.

[0035] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0036] In this embodiment, the opening of the compression device is located above the second recycling box 402. Beverage containers are put in through the bottle inlet, and after passing through the bottle inlet module 2 and the compression module 3, they fall onto the conveyor belt 5. Driven by a motor, the conveyor belt 5 transports the beverage containers away from the first recycling box 401, causing them to fall into the first recycling box 401. When the full-load sensor 11 on this side detects that the box is full, the conveyor will reverse the direction and transport the beverage containers into the second recycling box 402 on the other side. Only when both recycling boxes are detected as full is it necessary to empty them, thereby increasing the recycling capacity. This allows one compression module 3 to be used with two recycling boxes, greatly reducing the cost of the beverage container recycling equipment.

[0037] Second embodiment:

[0038] A beverage container recycling device, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the device includes a main body 1, a bottle feeding module 2, and a compression module 3 below the bottle feeding module 2. Materials (beverage bottles / cans) are fed into the bottle feeding port of the bottle feeding module 2, and after being identified by an internal code reading module and AI recognition module, they fall into the compression module 3 (or crushing module). The materials are compressed and reduced in volume by the compression module 3 (or crushed by the crushing module) before falling. Below the compression module 3 are a spreading and guiding module and a material storage frame 4. The spreading and guiding module guides the materials away from the compression module 3 towards the material storage frame 4, where the materials are ultimately stored.

[0039] In this embodiment, the even spreading guide module includes a conveyor belt 5 disposed below the compression module 3. The conveyor belt 5 covers the area below the outlet of the compression module 3 and extends away from the compression module 3.

[0040] The difference from the first embodiment is that in this embodiment, the material storage frame 4 is a single unit, and the conveyor belt 5 is located at the bottom inside the material storage frame 4, extending from one end to the other. The conveyor belt 5 transports the material away from the compression module 3. After the beverage container falls from the outlet of the compression module 3, it falls onto the conveyor belt 5 and moves with the conveyor belt 5 towards the end of the material storage frame 4 away from the compression device. A full-capacity sensor 11 is installed on the device body 1 above the material storage frame 4.

[0041] In this embodiment, the outlet of the compression module 3 is located above one end of the material storage box 4, so that the drop point of the beverage container is closer to the starting position of the conveyor belt 5.

[0042] In this embodiment, the material storage frame 4 is integrated with the equipment body 1. One side of the material storage frame 4 is a movable door panel 6 (i.e., one side of the equipment body 1 is a door panel 6). The door panel 6 is slidably arranged in the vertical direction. When the door panel 6 moves upward, a discharge port 7 is formed at the bottom, so that the beverage container in the material storage frame 4 can be discharged.

[0043] In this embodiment, the conveyor belt 5 is inclined, and the conveyor belt 5 is inclined from high to low towards the door panel 6, so that the beverage container can slide out when the door panel 6 is opened.

[0044] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0045] Beverage containers are fed into the bottle inlet, and after passing through the bottle feeding module 2 and the compression module 3, they fall into the material storage box 4. The conveyor belt 5 can move the beverage containers to the left, so that they will not pile up under the opening of the compression equipment and avoid the opening being blocked. As more and more beverage containers fall, the material storage box 4 is gradually filled. After the full bin sensor 11 detects that the bin is full, the maintenance personnel can open the door panel 6 to retrieve the beverage containers.

[0046] Third embodiment:

[0047] A beverage container recycling device, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the device includes a main body 1, a bottle feeding module 2, and a compression module 3 below the bottle feeding module 2. Materials (beverage bottles / cans) are fed into the bottle feeding port of the bottle feeding module 2, and after being identified by an internal code reading module and AI recognition module, they fall into the compression module 3 (or crushing module). The materials are compressed and reduced in volume by the compression module 3 (or crushed by the crushing module) before falling. Below the compression module 3 are a spreading and guiding module and a material storage frame 4. The spreading and guiding module guides the materials away from the compression module 3 towards the material storage frame 4, where the materials are ultimately stored.

[0048] The difference from the first embodiment is that the material storage frame 4 in this embodiment is a single unit. The even distribution guide module in this embodiment includes a partition plate 8 disposed within the material storage frame 4. The partition plate 8 extends from the bottom to the top of the material storage frame 4, thereby dividing the interior of the material storage frame 4 into two spaces on the left and right. The top of the partition plate 8 is movable, allowing the two spaces to be dynamically adjusted. Two full-load sensors 11 are disposed above the material storage frame 4 on the device body 1.

[0049] In this embodiment, the opening of the compression device is close to the right side of the material storage box 4. When the top of the isolation plate 8 moves to the right and covers the bottom of the opening of the compression device, the beverage container will be guided to the left by the isolation plate 8 when it falls vertically downward. The beverage container can only fall into the space on the left side. When the top of the isolation plate 8 moves to the left side of the opening of the compression device, the beverage container can fall into the space on the right side.

[0050] The separator 8 is made of a flexible material; in this embodiment, the separator 8 is a single piece of belt. The length of the separator 8 is greater than the height of the material storage frame 4, providing leeway for the top of the separator 8 to move to one side.

[0051] Connecting shafts 9 are fixed to both the bottom and top of the isolation plate 8. The sliding tube at the bottom is fixed to the inner bottom of the material storage frame 4. A driving device is provided at the top of the material storage frame 4. The driving device includes synchronous belts 10 respectively located on both sides of the material storage frame 4. Both ends of the connecting shaft 9 are fixed to the synchronous belts 10. The synchronous belts 10 are sleeved on two rollers and driven by a motor. The connecting shaft 9 is fixed to the bottom of the synchronous belts 10, so that the connecting shaft 9 moves left and right with the synchronous belts 10. The moving distance of the synchronous belts 10 is less than the distance between the two rollers. In this embodiment, one roller is close to one end of the material storage frame 4, and the other roller is located in the middle of the material storage frame 4. Hooks 12 are installed on the upper connecting shaft and the left and right inner walls of the cabinet for fixing flexible material storage frames, such as plastic recycling bags, woven bags, etc.

[0052] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0053] In the initial state, the top of the isolation plate 8 moves to the right side of the compression device opening. Beverage containers are put in through the bottle inlet, and after passing through the bottle inlet module 2 and the compression module 3, they fall downwards. Due to the obstruction of the isolation plate 8, the beverage containers accumulate in the left space. When the full-capacity sensor 11 detects that the storage in the left space has reached the preset value, the top of the isolation plate 8 moves to the left side of the compression device opening. At this time, the beverage containers fall into the right space. When the right space is also full, maintenance personnel collect them.

[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the design concept of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
