The recycling bin group includes at least a first recycling bin group 51, a second recycling bin group 52, and a third recycling bin group 11. Preferably, there are two circulation bins. The circulation bins of this invention include a first circulation bin 31 and a second circulation bin 32.

[0037] The waste sorting system also includes a first conveying pipe 6 located between the first sorting mechanism 2 and the circulation bin, and a second conveying pipe 7 located between the first sorting mechanism 2 and the recycling bin group. A third conveying pipe 9 connected to the first sorting mechanism 2 is provided above the mixing bin 8. The second conveying pipe 7 is provided with several branches, and a reversing mechanism for channel reversal is provided at the branch connection. The reversing mechanism can be, but is not limited to, a reversing valve mechanism at the branch.

[0038] The third recycling bin group 11 is located downstream of the mixing bin 8, and the third conveying pipe 9 is connected to the third recycling bin group 11. The first recycling bin group 52, the second recycling bin group 52, and the third recycling bin group 11 each contain several recycling bins.

[0039] A second conveying mechanism 12 is provided below the first recycling bin group 51. A label removal mechanism 13 and a second sorting mechanism 14 are provided between one end of the second conveying mechanism 12 and the second recycling bin group 52.

[0040] A third conveying mechanism 15 is provided below the third recycling bin group 11, and the third conveying mechanism 15 is connected to the packaging mechanism 16.

[0041] Below the second recycling bin group 52, there is a fourth conveying mechanism 18, one end of which is connected to the packaging mechanism 16. The other end of the fourth conveying mechanism 18 is connected to the crushing mechanism 17.

[0042] The other end of the second conveying mechanism 12 is connected to the packaging mechanism 16.

[0043] Below the first sorting mechanism 2 is a fifth conveying mechanism 19, which can realize bidirectional conveying. One end of the fifth conveying mechanism 19 is the conveying end for non-recyclable products, and the other end is connected to the first conveying pipe 6.

[0044] The first conveying pipe 6, the second conveying pipe 7, and the third conveying pipe 9 are each equipped with an outlet at a designated location, with each outlet corresponding to a specific compartment.

[0045] Working principle:

[0046] Waste products are conveyed to the first sorting mechanism 2 via the feeding mechanism 1. After the first sorting, all remaining waste products enter the mixing bin 8. Heavier non-waste bottle waste products are output via the fifth conveying mechanism 19. When sorting is not required, the mixing bin 8 can be circulated multiple times. When sorting is required, the remaining materials after sorting all enter the first circulation bin 31, and then enter the first sorting mechanism 2 for further sorting. The remaining materials all enter the second circulation bin 32, and so on, until all sorting is completed. The sorted materials selectively enter one of the first recycling bin group, the second recycling bin group, or the third recycling bin group. To achieve further processing, a label removal mechanism 13 (for removing labels) and a second sorting mechanism 14 are provided. The sorted waste products can be crushed and packaged by the crushing mechanism 17, or they can directly enter the packaging mechanism 16. Since each recycling bin group leads to the packaging mechanism 16, this utility model provides multiple options that can be selected according to actual needs.

[0047] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
