Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste recycling technology, specifically to a recycling bin. Background Technology
[0002] Recycling bins, as key facilities in waste sorting and resource recycling systems, are widely used in public areas such as homes, offices, shopping malls, schools, and communities. In practice, to improve the convenience of waste collection and the cleanliness of the recycling bins, collection bags are usually placed inside the bins so that waste falls directly into the bags.
[0003] In existing technologies, the storage bags inside recycling bins are mostly secured by directly slipping them over the inner cylinder of the bin. For example, the inside of a recycling bin usually has an inner cylinder, requiring manual insertion of some storage bags onto the inner cylinder. Sometimes, loops or buckles are used to fasten the storage bags to the edge of the inner cylinder for further securing.
[0004] However, if you simply slip part of the storage bag onto the inner tube without securing it, the bag is prone to slipping off. If you then use loops or buckles to fasten the bag to the edge of the inner tube for further security, these loops or buckles often cannot be easily fastened, making the process complicated and time-consuming. Summary of the Invention

The magnetic fixing member 120 includes a hanging part 1201 and a magnetic fixing part 1202. The hanging part 1201 is used to suspend the magnetic fixing part 1202.
[0035] The storage bag fixing device 100 is used to fix the storage bag for storing recyclables. The storage bag can be located between the magnetic fixing member 120 and the fixing part 110, and the magnetic fixing member 120 can fix the storage bag at least partially to the fixing part 110. In this way, when changing the storage bag, no complicated operation is required; the storage bag can be easily fixed simply by removing or installing the magnetic fixing member 120.
[0036] Optionally, the fixing part 110 can be attracted by a magnet, and the magnetic fixing part 1202 is magnetic.
[0037] Optionally, the fixing part 110 is magnetic, and the magnetic fixing part 1202 can be attracted by the fixing part 110.
[0038] In some embodiments, the fixing part 110 consists of at least two fixing beams 111 and at least one fixing area on the box body 10, and the storage bag can be partially fitted onto the fixing beams 111.

[0045] In some embodiments, the fixing part 110 consists of at least three fixing beams 111, which are fixed to the box body 10, and the storage bag can be partially covered by the fixing beams 111.
[0046] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the magnetic fastener provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the magnetic fastener 120 includes a suspension portion 1201 and a magnetic fastening portion 1202, with the suspension portion 1201 used to suspend the magnetic fastening portion 1202. In this way, the magnetic fastener 120 can be prevented from being lost.
[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the recycling bin 1 also includes a suspension member 130. A portion of the suspension member 130 passes through the suspension portion 1201 of the magnetic fastener 120, and another portion of the suspension member 130 is fixed to the bin body 10.
[0048] Optionally, the suspension element 130 may include a rope or a boom, etc.
[0049] In some embodiments, the length of the hanging member 130 is the height of the body 10 of the recycling bin 1 multiplied by a second preset ratio. When the magnetic fastener 120 is attracted to the fixing part 110, and a portion of the hanging member 130 passes through the hanging part 1201 of the magnetic fastener 120, while the other portion of the hanging member 130 is fixed to the body 10, the length of the hanging member 130 ensures that it does not exceed the horizontal plane where the lowest point of the magnetic fastener 120 is located. In this way, it is possible to prevent the hanging member 130 from being accidentally hooked and causing the magnetic fastener 120 to fall off accidentally. In addition, it is possible to prevent the hanging member 130 from contacting the storage bag or the recyclables in the storage bag, thereby keeping the hanging member 130 clean.
[0050] Optionally, the second preset ratio can range from one-quarter to three-quarters.
[0051] For example, the second preset ratio is one-quarter, one-third, one-half, or three-quarters, etc.
[0052] In some embodiments, the suspension portion 1201 includes at least one through hole for the suspension member 130 to pass through.

The hanging ring fixing part 1203 is fixedly connected to the magnetic fastener 1202, and the hanging ring 12011 passes through the hanging ring fixing part 1203.
[0054] Optionally, the 12011 eyelet is rotatable.
[0055] Optionally, the lifting ring 12011 can rotate relative to the lifting ring fixing part 1203 in the first direction V3.
[0056] Optionally, the ring fixing part 1203 can rotate along a second direction V4, which is different from the first direction V3. In this way, the ring 12011 can rotate in multiple directions, thereby facilitating the movement of the fixed position of the suspension member 130.
[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, optionally, a rotating shaft 1204 is provided on the magnetic fixing part 1202, and the rotating shaft 1204 passes through the hanging ring fixing part 1203, and the hanging ring fixing part 1203 can rotate around the rotating shaft 1204 in the second direction V4.
[0058] In other embodiments, the suspension portion 1201 may include a snap fastener for securing a portion of the suspension member 130 or a T-shaped rod for securing the suspension member 130 by wrapping.
[0059] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the recycling bin provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the recycling bin 1 includes a bin body 10, which includes a frame 11 and bin panels 12. The bin panels 12 are mounted on the frame 11, and there are multiple bin panels 12.
[0060] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a front view structural diagram of the recycling bin provided in an embodiment of this application. For example...

[0061] Optionally, the first box panel 121, the second box panel 122 and the third box panel 123 are all fixedly installed on the frame 11.

[0063] In some implementations, there are multiple collection ports 20, and at least two collection ports 20 are of different sizes.

[0070] In some embodiments, the panel 12 may be movably connected to the frame 11.
[0071] Optionally, the box panel 12 can rotate relative to the frame 11.
[0072] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a rear view structural diagram of the recycling bin provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the container 12 further includes a fourth container 124 and a fifth container 125. Both the fourth container 124 and the fifth container 125 are movably connected to the frame 11. When the fourth container 124 and / or the fifth container 125 are opened, personnel can collect the recyclables stored in the recycling bin 1.
[0073] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the container 10 also includes a moving device 13. The moving device 13 is used to move the recycling container 1.
[0074] Optionally, the mobile device 13 includes a plurality of casters.
[0075] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of part of the internal structure of the recycling bin provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 10 is provided with a recycling channel housing 34, which forms a recycling channel 30.
[0076] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a front view structural diagram of the recycling channel shell provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 8As shown, optionally, a recycling port blocking device 24 is provided on the recycling channel housing 34 corresponding to the recycling port 20. The recycling port blocking device 24 includes a blocking door 241 and a first hinge 242, and the blocking door 241 is rotatable. The first part of the first hinge 242 is fixedly connected to the recycling channel housing 34, and the second part of the first hinge 242 is fixedly connected to the blocking door 241, so that the blocking door 241 is rotatable.
[0077] Optionally, at least one recycling port 20 is provided with a recycling port shielding device 24.
[0078] For example, a recycling port blocking device 24 is provided on the outer shell 34 of the recycling channel at the location corresponding to the first recycling port 21 and the second recycling port 22.
[0079] Optionally, the housing 10 is provided with a recycling channel housing 34, which forms at least one recycling channel 30, and each recycling channel 30 is connected to at least one recycling port 20.
[0080] In some embodiments, the recycling bin 1 further includes a bin body 10, a recycling port 20, a recycling channel 30, and at least one pair of first photoelectric sensors 51. The recycling port 20 is disposed on the bin body 10 and communicates with the recycling channel 30. A baffle 40 is disposed in the recycling channel 30, and the baffle 40 is rotatable. At least one pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 are disposed in the motion detection area corresponding to the baffle 40 or in the recycling channel 30.
[0081] In some implementations, a first photoelectric sensor 51 can be used to detect the movement of the baffle 40, thereby determining whether the recyclable material has been put into the recycling port 20.
[0082] In some implementations, a mechanical switch can be used to detect the movement of the baffle 40, thereby determining whether the recyclable material has been put into the recycling port 20.
[0083] In some implementations, a first photoelectric sensor 51 can be used to directly detect whether the recyclable material has been put into the recycling port 20.
[0084] Please see Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a side view of the outer casing of the recycling channel provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, a baffle 40 is provided in the recycling channel 30. The baffle 40 is rotatable, and at least one pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 are disposed in the motion detection area corresponding to the baffle 40. The baffle 40 can be rotated by being pushed by the recycled material. The at least one pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 are used to detect whether the baffle 40 is moving.
[0085] In some embodiments, the outer casing 34 of the recycling channel is partially perforated. This saves on the manufacturing material of the outer casing 34 of the recycling channel.
[0086] Please see Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the outer shell of the recycling channel provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 10 The image shows the recycling channel 30, but the recycling port shielding device 24 is not shown. Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the recycling channel housing 34 includes a first recycling channel housing 341, a second recycling channel housing 342, and a third recycling channel housing 343.
[0087] In some embodiments, a first recycling channel 31 is formed in a first recycling channel housing 341, a second recycling channel 32 is formed in a second recycling channel housing 342, and a third recycling channel 33 is formed in a third recycling channel housing 343.
[0088] Optionally, the first recycling channel 31 and Figure 5 The first recycling port 21 is connected, and the second recycling channel 32 is connected to... Figure 5 The second recycling port 22 is connected, and the third recycling channel 33 is connected to... Figure 5 The third recycling port 23 is connected.
[0089] like Figure 9 As shown, in some implementations, Figure 10 A baffle 40 is provided in the first recycling channel 31.
[0090] Optionally, the baffle 40 includes a rotatable connection portion 41 for rotating the baffle 40. When the first recycling port 21 receives recycled material, the portion of the baffle 40 below the rotatable connection portion 41 (including the rotatable connection portion 41) can rotate in a third direction V1.
[0091] Optionally, each pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 corresponds to one detection optical path. The motion detection area corresponding to the baffle 40 refers to the area where the detection optical path of at least one pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 is changed from being blocked by the baffle 40 to being unblocked, or from being unblocked to being blocked by the baffle 40, when the baffle 40 rotates.
[0092] For example, a pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 are disposed in the motion detection area corresponding to the baffle 40.
[0093] Optionally, two of the pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 emit light towards each other to form a detection optical path. Specifically, the light emitted by the light-emitting part of one of the first photoelectric sensors 51 is received by the light-receiving part of the other first photoelectric sensor 51 through the recovery channel 30, forming a detection optical path.
[0094] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the baffle 40 includes a blocking portion 43.
[0095] In some implementations, each pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 corresponds to a detection optical path.
[0096] In some embodiments, the blocking part 43 cannot block all detection light paths when the baffle 40 is not rotated, but can block all detection light paths when the baffle 40 is rotated.
[0097] In other embodiments, the blocking part 43 can block all detection light paths when the baffle 40 is not rotating, but cannot block all detection light paths when the baffle 40 is rotating.
[0098] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the shielding portion 43 is located above the rotating connection portion 41.
[0099] Optionally, when the baffle 40 is in its initial position, the blocking part 43 is located outside the area of the first recycling channel housing 341. When the first recycling port 21 receives recycled material, the blocking part 43 can rotate in the fourth direction V2.
[0100] Optionally, the fourth direction V2 is different from the third direction V1.
[0101] Please see Figure 11 , Figure 11 yes Figure 10 An enlarged view of area A in the middle. (See diagram below.) Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, a second hinge 42 is provided on the first recycling channel housing 341. The rotating connecting portion 41 of the baffle 40 is connected to the first part of the second hinge 42, and the second part of the second hinge 42 is fixed to the recycling channel housing 34. The second hinge 42 is used to movably connect the first recycling channel housing 341 and the baffle 40.
[0102] In some embodiments, a pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 are disposed on the housing 341 of the first recycling channel, but not located in the first recycling channel 31. The pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 includes a first first photoelectric sensor 511 and a second first photoelectric sensor 512, which form a first detection optical path L through opposing light. The blocking portion 43 does not block the first detection optical path L when the baffle 40 is not rotating; when the baffle 40 rotates, the blocking portion 43 moves along... Figure 9 The fourth direction V2 rotates, thereby blocking the first detection optical path L, causing the pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 to emit a trigger signal.
[0103] Optionally, the first detection optical path L is not located in the first recovery channel 31.
[0104] In other embodiments, a pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 may also be disposed in the first recycling channel 31.
[0105] As the reclaimed material pushes the baffle 40 to rotate, and then slides to the bottom of the recycling channel 30, the baffle 40 may swing multiple times during its return to its initial position. Therefore, the first photoelectric sensor 51 will generate trigger signals multiple times. When the baffle 40 touches the recycling channel housing 34 during its swing, it may rebound, which will increase the number of swings.
[0106] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, a buffer 44 is provided at the end of the baffle 40 away from the rotating connection 41. The buffer 44 is used to reduce the rebound amplitude of the baffle 40. In this way, the number of times the baffle 40 swings back and forth can be reduced, thereby reducing the number of trigger signals generated, which helps to avoid miscounting of the recycled materials.
[0107] Optionally, the buffer 44 at least partially covers the baffle 40. For example, the buffer 44 at least partially covers the end of the baffle 40 away from the rotating connection 41.
[0108] Optionally, the buffer 44 is fixedly connected to one end of the baffle 40 away from the rotating connection 41, and extends a predetermined length in the direction away from the rotating connection 41.
[0109] Optionally, the buffer 44 is fixedly connected to one end of the baffle 40 away from the rotating connection 41 and extends a predetermined length in the direction away from the rotating connection 41. When the baffle 40 is in a stationary state, the lowest point of the buffer 44 is located below the recycling channel housing 34.
[0110] Optionally, the preset length is the length of the baffle 40 multiplied by a first preset ratio, thereby ensuring the buffering effect of the buffer 44.
[0111] Optionally, the first preset ratio ranges from one-quarter to 1.
[0112] For example, the first preset ratio can be one-quarter, one-third, three-quarters, one-half, or 1, etc.
[0113] Optionally, the material of the buffer 44 is a soft material.
[0114] Optionally, the soft material includes at least one of rubber, silicone, soft plastic, sponge, and textiles.
[0115] Optionally, the buffer 44 can be in the form of a sheet or a strip, etc.
[0116] For example, the buffer 44 is a rubber strip or a silicone strip.
[0117] Firstly, the buffer 44 in this application has a preset length, and because of its length, the buffer 44 has a certain mass, thus constituting a damper for the baffle 40. When the recycled material pushes the baffle 40, the buffer 44 always moves in the opposite direction to the direction of movement of the baffle 40 due to inertia, thereby exerting a reaction force on the baffle 40 in the opposite direction to its direction of movement, reducing the swing amplitude of the baffle 40, and enabling the baffle 40 to quickly return to a stable state.
[0118] Secondly, the buffer 44 in this application has a preset length. After the baffle 40 rebounds, the buffer 44 can collide with the outer shell 34 of the recycling channel before the baffle 40, thereby increasing the reaction force opposite to the direction of movement of the baffle 40.
[0119] Thirdly, the buffer 44 of this application is made of a soft material with elasticity. Therefore, during the swinging process caused by the movement of the baffle 40, the buffer 44 can generate elastic deformation, converting part of the kinetic energy of the baffle 40 into its own elastic potential energy, and further reducing the swing amplitude of the baffle 40.
[0120] In some embodiments, the rotating connection 41 is used to connect the first part of the second hinge 42, the second part of the second hinge 42 is fixed to the first recycling channel housing 341, and the second hinge 42 is used to movably connect the first recycling channel housing 341 to the baffle 40.
[0121] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the recycling bin 1 further includes at least one pair of second photoelectric sensors 52. At least one pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 are disposed in the motion detection area corresponding to the baffle 40, and at least one pair of second photoelectric sensors 52 are disposed in the first recycling channel 31 where the baffle 40 is located. The distance between the second photoelectric sensor 52 and the recycling port 20 corresponding to the baffle 40 is less than the distance between the baffle 40 and the recycling port 20 corresponding to the baffle 40.
[0122] The baffle 40 may be pushed for an extended period by a foreign object or a user's hand, preventing it from returning to its initial position. In some embodiments, when a first trigger signal is received from a pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 due to the baffle 40 being blocked or unblocked, and a second trigger signal is received from a pair of second photoelectric sensors 52, it indicates that the baffle 40 has been pushed for an extended period by a foreign object or a user's hand. In this case, it can be determined that the recycling port 20 corresponding to the baffle 40 has not received any recyclable material. When a first trigger signal is received from a pair of first photoelectric sensors 51 due to the baffle 40 being blocked or unblocked, and no second trigger signal is received from a pair of second photoelectric sensors 52, it can be determined that the recycling port 20 corresponding to the baffle 40 has received any recyclable material.
[0123] By using the methods described above, miscounting of recyclables can be avoided.
[0124] As described above, exemplarily, the first recycling port 21 is used to receive plastic bottle bodies, the second recycling port 22 is used to receive aluminum cans, and the third recycling port 23 is used to receive plastic bottle caps. Plastic bottle bodies are generally made of transparent or semi-transparent materials. Plastic bottle caps and aluminum cans are generally made of opaque materials.
