[0002] Plastic sorting is a crucial step in the plastic processing and production process. Traditional plastic sorting relies heavily on manual labor, which is inefficient, prone to errors, and incurres high labor costs. While automation technology has led to the development of automated plastic sorting equipment, existing equipment suffers from several problems: firstly, it lacks effective visual recognition capabilities, making it difficult to accurately distinguish between different types and specifications of plastic; secondly, the operating buttons on the equipment are easily accidentally pressed by workers, affecting normal operation; and thirdly, it lacks convenient and efficient collection devices for substandard plastics, resulting in spillage that impacts the working environment and subsequent processing.

[0003] Regarding the above-mentioned and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects often exist: the operation buttons on existing automated plastic sorting equipment are easily accidentally touched by workers during use, thus affecting the normal operation of the equipment; therefore, in order to address the above problems, an automated plastic sorting equipment with visual recognition is proposed.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an automated plastic sorting equipment with visual recognition, including an automated sorting device 1, an automatic visual recognition device 2 installed in the inner cavity of the automated sorting device 1, a display screen 3 installed on the surface of the automated sorting device 1, a waste outlet on one side of the automated sorting device 1, operation buttons installed on the surface of the automated sorting device 1, and a protective device 4 installed on the surface of the automated sorting device 1. By setting the protective device 4, the operation buttons are protected, preventing workers from accidentally touching the operation buttons, preventing abnormal operation of the automated sorting device 1, program malfunction of the automatic visual recognition device 2, or safety hazards caused by misoperation, ensuring the normal and stable operation of the automated sorting device 1, and reducing maintenance costs caused by accidental touches, thus improving the reliability and safety of the automated sorting device 1. A collection device 5 is set on the side wall of the automated sorting device 1. By setting the collection device 5, unqualified plastic equipment is collected uniformly, preventing waste from scattering and accumulating, improving the standardization of the sorting process and the cleanliness of the workshop environment, and improving the efficiency and operability of waste collection.

[0027] The specific setup and function of its protective device 4 and collection device 5 will be explained below.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment: the protective device 4 includes a U-shaped plate 41, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the sorting automation device 1. A rotating rod 42 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped plate 41. A protective plate 43 is fixedly connected to the arc surface of the rotating rod 42. The protective plate 43 is located above the operation button. A fixing groove is provided on one side of the protective plate 43. A fixing plate 44 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sorting automation device 1. A sliding rod 45 is slidably inserted into the fixing plate 44. A pull plate 46 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod 45. The size of the sliding rod 45 is adapted to the size of the fixing groove of the protective plate 43. A spring 47 is sleeved on the arc surface of the sliding rod 45. The two ends of the spring 47 are fixedly connected to the pull plate 46 and the fixing plate 44, respectively. By setting the spring 47, the following is achieved: To automatically spring the sliding rod 45 into the fixed groove of the protective plate 43, the practicality of the device is improved. An L-shaped plate 48 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sorting automation device 1. The L-shaped plate 48 abuts against one side of the protective plate 43. By setting the L-shaped plate 48, the protective plate 43 is provided with auxiliary support, avoiding the situation where the protective plate 43 comes into contact with the operating button when protecting it, thus improving the practicality of the device. Two torsion springs 49 are sleeved on the arc surface of the rotating rod 42. The two ends of the torsion springs 49 are fixedly connected to the U-shaped plate 41 and the protective plate 43 respectively. Under the force of the torsion springs 49, the protective plate 43 is automatically opened and maintained at a certain angle, which makes it easier for the tooling personnel to operate the operating button, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the collection device 5 includes a support plate 51, which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sorting automation device 1. The support plate 51 is located below the fertilizer inlet. A collection bin 52 is slidably connected to the surface of the support plate 51. An extension plate 53 is fixedly connected to the surface of the collection bin 52. A fixing frame 55 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sorting automation device 1. The surface of the collection bin 52 is slidably connected to the fixing frame 55. A protective pad 54 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collection bin 52. The protective pad 54 is made of sponge material. By providing a protective pad 54 on the inner wall of the collection bin 52, the impact of plastic flying out of the outlet on the collection bin 52 is reduced, and the plastic is protected to a certain extent, thus improving the practicality of the device. Handles 56 are fixedly connected to both sides of the collection bin 52. The surface of the handles 56 is provided with anti-slip protrusions. By setting the handles 56, it is convenient to operate the collection plate, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0030] Working principle: When this automated plastic sorting equipment with visual recognition is working, the automatic visual recognition device 2 is installed inside the automated sorting device 1 to identify and sort the plastics. Qualified plastics are conveyed according to the set process, while unqualified plastics are discharged through the waste outlet. In terms of operation protection, the protective device 4 plays an important role. Under normal conditions, the torsion spring 49 causes the protective plate 43 to open automatically and maintain a certain angle, making it easy for the operator to operate the buttons. When protection is required after operation, the protective plate 43 is rotated to cover the operation buttons. At this time, the spring 47 pushes the sliding rod 45 to automatically spring into the fixing groove of the protective plate 43, fixing the protective plate 43 and preventing the operator from accidentally touching the operation. The L-shaped plate provides auxiliary support for the protective plate 43, preventing the protective plate 43 from directly contacting the operating button. When the button needs to be operated again, pulling the pull plate 46 causes the sliding rod 45 to disengage from the fixed groove. Under the action of the torsion spring 49, the protective plate 43 automatically opens. By setting the protective device 4, the operating button is protected, preventing workers from accidentally touching the operating button and preventing malfunctions of the sorting automation device 1, program errors of the automatic vision recognition device 2, or safety hazards caused by misoperation. This ensures the normal and stable operation of the sorting automation device 1, reduces maintenance costs caused by accidental touches, and improves the reliability and safety of the sorting automation device 1.

[0031] In the waste collection stage, collection device 5 operates. Substandard plastics are discharged from the waste outlet and fall directly into the collection bin 52 located below. Since the collection bin 52 can slide along the support plate 51 and the fixing frame 55, operators can easily pull out the collection bin 52 by pulling the handle 56 on its surface, using the extension plate 53, for centralized cleaning of the substandard plastics. The sponge protective pad 54 on the inner wall of the collection bin 52 reduces the impact of plastic discharge on the bin 52 and protects the plastic. The anti-slip protrusions on the surface of the handle 56 further enhance the ease of operation. All devices work together to achieve efficient and safe automated plastic sorting.
