[0033] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0034] Example 1: The specific structure of this utility model is as follows:
[0035] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1-5 This utility model discloses an intelligent crushing and mixing integrated machine equipped with a vision recognition system. The intelligent crushing and mixing integrated machine is... Figure 1 The right side of the box section, Figure 1 The left side of the box is the fermentation chamber.

[0036] The intelligent crushing and mixing machine includes a frame 1 with a sealing plate, a receiving trough 14 located at the feeding end of the frame 1 and raised, an elevator 12 is provided on the feeding side of the receiving trough 14, and a discharge port is provided at its discharge end.

[0038] The visual recognition system 15 is equipped with a camera that shoots towards the receiving trough 14. The camera captures real-time images of the food waste in the receiving trough 14 and transmits the images to the processing system. The processing system receives the images and analyzes whether there are any metal objects in the food waste. When the processing system detects metal objects in the food waste, it marks the location of the metal. The processing system then sends a control signal to the control unit of the four-axis robot 17 and the gripper module 18. The control unit controls the four-axis robot 17 and the gripper module 18 to work together to pick up the metal at the marked location and remove it from the receiving trough 14. Finally, the metal object is sent to the metal collection bin, and the system resets after the operation is completed.
[0039] The crusher unit 16 is fixed to the frame 1 and has a crushing section and a bucket section 8 arranged vertically and connected together. The crushing section is located at the discharge port and has a box-type crushing blade assembly 4 and a first power mechanism 3 drivenly connected to the box-type crushing blade assembly 4.
[0040] The mixer unit is fixed to the frame 1 and has a horizontal mixing section 5, a rotatable propulsion module disposed inside the horizontal mixing section 5, and a second power mechanism 2 driven and connected to the propulsion module. There is a material receiving section between the horizontal mixing section 5 and the second power mechanism. The material receiving section and the bucket section 8 form a connected space. The chamber inside the horizontal mixing section 5 is connected to the space. The propulsion module is driven to rotate by the second power mechanism 2.
[0041] The box-type crusher blade assembly 4 is equipped with a blade assembly, which consists of two rows of staggered blades. The two rows of blades are fixed on corresponding rotating shafts, one of which is the drive shaft and the other is the driven shaft. The outer end of the drive shaft is connected to the main gear, and the outer end of the driven shaft is connected to the auxiliary gear. The main gear and the auxiliary gear mesh with each other.
[0042] The first power mechanism 3 is a first servo motor with a first reducer, and the first reducer drives and connects to the drive shaft.
[0043] The second power mechanism 2 is a second servo motor with a second reducer.
[0044] The propulsion module includes a main shaft 52 and spiral blades 51 disposed on the main shaft 52 and continuously distributed.
[0045] The first end of the main shaft 52 is driven and connected to the second reducer, and the spiral blade 51 extends to the material receiving section.
[0046] The main shaft 52, located within the horizontal stirring section 5 area, is also equipped with multiple stirring blades 53, which are arranged within the intervals of the spiral blades 51.
[0047] The outer edge of the spiral blade 51 is provided with a notch 511.
[0048] The notch 511 is a V-shaped notch.
[0049] The lower end of the horizontal stirring section 5 is provided with a water filter port, and a water filter screen is provided at the water filter port;
[0050] A wastewater storage tank 9 is provided below the horizontal stirring section 5;
[0051] A sewage outlet is provided at the lowest point of the sewage storage tank 9, and the sewage outlet is connected to the sewage pipe 10.
[0052] The discharge end of the horizontal mixing section 5 is provided with a receiving bin 6.
[0053] Example 2: The following is the working process of the intelligent crushing and mixing integrated machine of this utility model:
[0054] First, food waste is conveyed to the receiving trough 14 via the elevator 12. The receiving trough 14 is raised and positioned at the feed end of the frame 1. At this time, the vision recognition system 15 installed on the frame 1 begins to operate. The camera of the vision recognition system 15 is pointed towards the receiving trough 14, capturing real-time images of the food waste inside the trough 14 and transmitting the real-time images to the processing system. The processing system analyzes the received images to determine whether there are any metal objects in the food waste.
[0055] The receiving trough 14 is equipped with a belt conveyor group, which stops working when receiving kitchen waste.
[0056] When the processing system detects metal objects in the food waste, it immediately marks the location of the metal and sends a control signal to the control unit of the four-axis robot 17 and the gripper module 18. The control unit then controls the four-axis robot 17 and the gripper module 18 to work together: the four-axis robot 17 precisely moves to the metal location mark, the cylinder of the gripper module 18 drives the gripper to close, firmly clamping the metal object. Then, the four-axis robot 17 drives the gripper module 18 to remove the metal object from the receiving trough 14 and send it to the metal collection bin. After the removal of the metal object is completed, the four-axis robot 17 and the gripper module 18 reset, waiting for the next instruction.
[0057] After being screened for metals, the kitchen waste enters the crushing section of the crusher unit 16 via a belt conveyor from the discharge port of the receiving trough 14. The box-type crushing blade assembly 4 in the crushing section begins operation under the drive of the first power mechanism 3, which is a first servo motor with a first reducer. The first reducer drives and connects to the drive shaft. The main gear at the outer end of the drive shaft meshes with the secondary gear at the outer end of the driven shaft, driving two rows of staggered blades to rotate on their corresponding rotating shafts. Under the shearing and crushing action of the two rows of blades, the kitchen waste is crushed into smaller particles, and the crushed material enters the hopper section 8.
[0058] The hopper section 8 and the receiving section of the mixer unit form a connected space, through which the crushed material enters the horizontal mixing section 5. The second power mechanism 2 of the mixer unit (a second servo motor with a second reducer) drives the propulsion module to rotate, and the main shaft 52 of the propulsion module drives the spiral blades 51 and the stirring blades 53 to rotate. The spiral blades 51 are continuously distributed and have V-shaped notches 511 on their outer edges. During rotation, they not only propel the material forward, but the V-shaped notches also prevent the material from clumping. At the same time, the multiple stirring blades 53 on the main shaft 52 within the area of the horizontal mixing section 5 thoroughly stir the material within the intervals of the spiral blades 51, making the material more uniformly mixed.
[0059] During the mixing process, the moisture contained in the material will seep out through the filter screen at the lower end of the horizontal mixing section 5 and flow into the sewage storage tank 9 below. The sewage outlet at the lowest point of the sewage storage tank 9 will discharge the sewage through the drain pipe 10.
[0060] After thorough mixing, the material, propelled by the spiral blades 51, finally enters the receiving hopper 6 from the discharge end of the horizontal mixing section 5, completing the entire crushing and mixing process. Afterward, the processed material is conveyed to the fermentation chamber on the left side via a screw elevator for further fermentation.
[0061] In summary, this utility model of intelligent crushing and mixing integrated machine can prevent equipment damage: the visual recognition system can detect metal objects in the kitchen waste in the receiving trough in real time, and the four-axis robotic arm and gripper module can promptly pick up and remove the metal objects, effectively preventing metal impurities from entering the crushing unit and damaging the equipment, extending the service life of the equipment, and reducing maintenance costs.
[0062] This utility model of intelligent crushing and mixing integrated machine improves processing efficiency: the blade group of the crusher unit adopts two rows of staggered blades, which can efficiently crush kitchen waste under the drive of the first power mechanism; the crushed material smoothly enters the mixing unit through the hopper and the material receiving section, and the spiral blades of the propulsion module can continuously propel the material, so that the crushing and mixing links are closely connected, improving the overall processing efficiency.
[0063] This utility model of intelligent crushing and mixing machine achieves more uniform mixing: the main shaft of the mixer is equipped with multiple mixing blades, which are located within the intervals of the spiral blades. While pushing the material, the mixing blades can fully mix the material, making the material more evenly mixed.
[0064] This utility model of intelligent crushing and mixing integrated machine can promptly treat sewage: the filter port and filter screen at the lower end of the horizontal mixing section can filter the sewage generated during the mixing process into the sewage storage tank, and then discharge it through the sewage pipe, avoiding the accumulation of sewage in the mixing section, ensuring the smooth progress of the mixing process, and also facilitating the subsequent centralized treatment of sewage.
