[0002] Waste sorting can effectively improve the recycling value of resources, reduce the amount of waste to be disposed of and the consumption of land resources. In order to raise awareness of waste sorting, existing technologies use waste sorting simulation equipment to interact with users and improve people's understanding of waste sorting.

[0003] Chinese patent CN218601954 U discloses an interactive experience device for garbage sorting, including a display stand, a back panel, a platform, and a rolling track. The display stand and back panel are vertically arranged at the front and rear ends of the platform. A display screen is embedded in the back panel, and multiple garbage bin models are placed on the platform below the display screen. Transparent balls representing different types of garbage roll out sequentially from the rolling track. Users can grab the rolling balls, observe the types of garbage, and push the balls into the tracks connecting different types of garbage bins based on their judgment, causing the balls to roll into the corresponding garbage bins. The screen will provide real-time feedback on whether the sorting is correct or not.

[0004] However, existing interactive waste sorting equipment has a complex structure, limited feedback methods, and insufficient incentives, resulting in a poor user experience and limited effectiveness in simulating waste sorting and raising awareness.

[0005] Therefore, how to effectively improve the simulation effect of waste sorting and the user's interactive experience in order to raise awareness of waste sorting has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a waste sorting and retrieval interactive device with better simulation effect and interactive experience.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an interactive waste sorting and retrieval device, comprising a retrieval chamber, wherein an interactive cavity, a control platform, and a control cavity are respectively formed within the retrieval chamber.

[0008] The interactive cavity is equipped with a gripping device, a waste placement trough containing several waste models, a waste disposal trough composed of several classified waste bin models, a prize placement rack containing several prizes, and a prize disposal trough. Each waste model is equipped with a classification label device, and each classified waste bin model is equipped with a recognition device for identifying the classification label device. The gripping device can move within the interactive cavity to grasp, release, and move the waste models and prizes.

[0009] The control platform is equipped with a control component for controlling the gripping device, and the control cavity is equipped with a control device that can receive signals from the identification device and control the working state of the gripping device.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping compartment includes a cover, a seat, and a mounting plate. The mounting plate is disposed between the cover and the seat, forming the interactive cavity between the mounting plate and the cover, and forming the control cavity between the mounting plate and the seat.

[0011] Furthermore, the waste placement trough is recessed into the mounting plate, and the mounting plate has a slot for engaging with the sorting waste bin model. The sorting waste bin model is detachably mounted in the slot, and the control platform extends from the cover along the mounting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the hatch is provided with a panoramic observation window on its periphery, and the panoramic observation window is provided with an operating door.

[0013] Furthermore, the circumference of the cabin is provided with maintenance doors and heat dissipation holes.

[0014] Furthermore, the control device is connected to the clamping device via control lines passing through the mounting plate.

[0031] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.

[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The image shows an example of the interactive waste sorting and retrieval device provided by this utility model.

[0033] As shown in the figure, the interactive garbage sorting and retrieval device in this example includes a retrieval compartment 1, which contains an interactive cavity 101, a control platform 102, and a control cavity 103. The interactive cavity 101 is equipped with a retrieval device 2, a garbage placement trough 3 containing several garbage models 31, a garbage disposal trough 4 composed of several classified garbage bin models 41, a prize placement rack 5 containing several prizes 51, and a prize disposal trough 6. Each garbage model 31 is equipped with a classification label device 32, and each classified garbage bin model 41 is equipped with a recognition device 42 for recognizing the classification label device 32. The retrieval device 2 can move in the interactive cavity 101 and grasp, release, and move the garbage models 31 and prizes 51 to highly simulate the real garbage sorting and disposal scenario, significantly enhancing the user's sense of immersion.

[0034] Furthermore, the control platform 102 is equipped with a control component 7 for controlling the gripping device, and the control cavity 103 is equipped with a control device. The control device can receive signals from the recognition device 42 and control the working state of the gripping device 2, driving the gripping device 2 to grab the reward 51 and put it into the reward placement slot 6, thereby forming a closed-loop structure of "simulated placement - real-time recognition - reward feedback", which greatly enhances the fun and interactive experience of the device and effectively motivates users to learn and practice correct garbage classification knowledge.

[0035] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The clamping compartment 1 includes a cover 11, a seat 12, and a mounting plate 13. The cover 11 and the seat 12 are respectively configured as cylindrical structures. The mounting plate 13 is disposed between the cover 11 and the seat 12, dividing the clamping compartment 1 into two cavities. An interactive cavity 101 is formed between the mounting plate 13 and the cover 11, and a control cavity 103 is formed between the mounting plate 13 and the seat 12. At the same time, the mounting plate 13 extends out of the cover 11 to form a control platform 102.

[0036] Furthermore, the hatch 11 is provided with a panoramic observation window 111 on its periphery, which facilitates all-round observation of the interior scene of the interactive cavity 101. An operating door 112 is hinged to the panoramic observation window 111, so as to open the operating door 112 and perform maintenance on the interior of the interactive cavity 101.

[0037] Combination Figures 3 to 6 Furthermore, the waste placement trough 3 is recessed into the mounting plate 13, and a number of waste models 31 are contained in the waste placement trough 3, and the waste models 31 include models of different types of waste.

[0038] Here, the specific composition of the waste model 31 is not limited. As an example, the waste model 31 includes wet waste models such as bone models and fruit models, dry waste models such as paper towel models and packaging bag models, recyclable waste models such as water bottle models and book models, and hazardous waste models such as medicine models and battery models, in order to simulate the appearance of real waste, improve the user experience, and enable users to learn and practice the correct waste sorting more intuitively.

[0039] Furthermore, the mounting plate 13 also has mounting openings 131 for cooperating with the sorting garbage bin model 41. Mounting slots 132 are provided on both sides of the mounting opening 131, so that several sorting garbage bin models 41 can be embedded in the mounting opening 131 to form a garbage disposal slot 4.

[0040] As an example, the types of classified garbage bins 41 correspond to the types of garbage bins 31, including wet garbage bin model 411, dry garbage bin model 412, recyclable garbage bin model 413, and hazardous waste bin model 414, etc. Each classified garbage bin model 41 is marked with a corresponding type label and distinguished by different colors, so that garbage bins 31 can be put into the corresponding classified garbage bins, simulating the scenario of real garbage classification and disposal, which significantly enhances the user's sense of immersion and interactive experience.

[0041] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 Preferably, several classified garbage bin models 41 are arranged side by side and connected to each other. Overlapping plates 415 are provided on the outer sides of the classified garbage bin models 41 at both ends. The overlapping plates 415 extend along both sides of the classified garbage bin models and are provided with mounting buckles 416. After the several classified garbage bin models 41 are connected side by side, they are erected on both sides of the mounting opening 131 through the overlapping plates 415. At the same time, the mounting buckles 416 are fastened to the mounting slots 132, thereby embedding the several classified garbage bin models 41 into the mounting opening 131 and forming a garbage disposal slot 4 on the mounting plate 13.

[0042] Meanwhile, the sorting garbage bin model 41 is connected to the mounting slot 132 by the mounting buckle 416 to form a detachable buckle connection, which makes it easy to pull the sorting garbage bin model 41 out of the mounting hole 131, empty the garbage model 31, and reuse it.

[0043] Combination Figures 3 to 6 In order to grab the garbage model 31 from the garbage placement trough 3 and put it into any of the sorted garbage bin models 41 in the garbage placement trough 4, the mounting plate 13 is also provided with a clamping device 2. Preferably, the clamping device 2 is set in the middle area of ​​the mounting plate 13 so that the clamping device 2 can be moved to any position of the mounting plate 13.

[0044] In conjunction with this, the control platform 102 extending from the hatch 11 of the mounting plate 13 is equipped with a control component 7. The control component 7 is embedded in the hatch 12 through control lines and extends out of the mounting plate 13 to connect to the clamping device 2, thereby controlling the working state of the clamping device 2.

[0045] Here, the specific configuration of the control component 7 and the gripping device 2 is a conventional technique in the art.

[0046] As an example, the control component 7 includes a control handle 71 and control buttons 72. The gripping device 2 is composed of an existing robotic arm 21 and a gripper 22. After the control component 7 and the gripping device 2 are connected by control lines, the user can control the robotic arm 21 of the gripping device 2 to move arbitrarily and the gripping and releasing actions of the gripper 22 through the control handle 71 and control buttons 72 of the control component 7. This controls the gripping device 2 to move to the garbage placement trough 3 to grab the garbage model 31, and to move the garbage model 31 to any of the classified garbage bin models 41 in the garbage disposal trough 4 to release the garbage model 31, so as to realize the disposal of the garbage model 31. This can highly simulate the scene of real garbage classification and disposal, and enhance the user's sense of immersion.

[0047] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 To enhance the user's interactive experience, each garbage model 31 is equipped with a classification label device 32 corresponding to the type of garbage model. Correspondingly, each classified garbage bin model 41 is equipped with a recognition device 42 that corresponds to the type of classified garbage bin model and is adapted to the classification label device 32, so that the recognition device 42 can accurately identify the corresponding classification label device 32 and generate a recognition signal, thereby identifying whether the garbage model 31 has been put into the matching classified garbage bin model 41.

[0048] Preferably, the classification labeling device 32 is composed of an existing RFID chip, and the identification device 42 is composed of an existing reader adapted to the RFID chip, so that the reader can identify the RFID chip and thus identify whether the garbage model 31 is placed in the correct classified garbage bin model 41.

[0049] Here, the specific configuration of the RFID chip and reader is a conventional technical approach in this field.

[0050] As an example, each dry waste model 412 is equipped with a first RFID chip, which stores a unique identification code corresponding to the type of dry waste. Correspondingly, each recyclable waste model 413 is equipped with a second RFID chip, which stores a unique identification code corresponding to the type of recyclable waste.

[0051] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 In conjunction with this, the dry waste bin model 412 is equipped with a first reader adapted to the first RFID chip. The first reader can only identify the first RFID chip and generate an identification signal. The recyclable waste bin model 413 is equipped with a second reader adapted to the second RFID chip. The second reader can only identify the second RFID chip and generate an identification signal.

[0052] Thus, if a user puts the dry waste model into the dry waste bin model 412, the first reader will recognize the first RFID chip and generate an identification signal, indicating that the disposal is correct; if the user puts the dry waste model into the recyclable waste bin model 413, the second reader cannot recognize the first RFID chip and will not generate an identification signal, indicating that the disposal is incorrect.

[0053] Therefore, the classification label device 32 of the garbage model 31 is strictly matched with the recognition device 43 of the classified garbage bin model 41, ensuring that the recognition device 42 can only read the classification label device 32 and generate a recognition signal when the garbage model 31 is put into the classified garbage bin model 41 of the corresponding category, so as to accurately determine the correctness of the placement and enhance the interactive experience.

[0054] The specific configuration of RFID chips and readers is a conventional technique in this field and will not be elaborated here.

[0055] In conjunction with this, the cabin 12 contains a control device that can receive the identification signal generated by the identification device 42 and control the working state of the gripping device 2, driving the gripping device 2 to grab the reward 51 and put it into the reward placement slot 6, thus forming a closed-loop structure of "simulated placement - real-time identification - reward feedback", which effectively motivates users to learn and practice correct waste sorting.

[0056] Specifically, the control device is built into the cabin 12 and is connected to the clamping device 2 through the mounting plate 13 via control lines. The prize rack 5 is placed on the mounting plate 13 and several prizes 51 are placed on the prize rack 5. The mounting plate 13 also has a prize delivery slot 6, which is recessed into the mounting plate 13. The side wall of the cabin 12 is provided with an acquisition opening 61 that connects to the prize delivery slot 6.

[0057] Here, the specific composition of reward 51 can be adapted to the specific application. For example, reward 51 can be composed of toys.

[0058] In this way, after receiving the recognition signal generated by the recognition device 42, the control device controls the gripping device 2 to move to the prize rack 5 to grab the prize 51, and moves the prize 51 to the prize delivery slot 6 to release the prize 51, so as to realize the delivery of the prize 51. The user can take the prize 51 by accessing the opening 61, thereby realizing reward feedback, enhancing the interactive experience, and encouraging users to learn and practice the correct garbage classification.

[0059] Here, the control device is a conventional technical means in this field, and will not be described in detail. As an example, the control device can be composed of an existing PLC.

[0060] Furthermore, the circumference of the cabin 12 is provided with a maintenance door 121 and a heat dissipation hole 123, so as to facilitate the opening of the maintenance door 121 to maintain the control device and to dissipate heat through the heat dissipation hole 123.

[0061] The following example illustrates the working process of this utility model in a specific application. It should be noted that the content described here is only a specific application example of this solution and does not constitute a limitation on this solution.

[0062] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 Users can control the mechanical arm 21 of the gripping device 2 to move freely and the gripper 22 to grasp and release by controlling the control handle 71 and control button 72 of the control component 7. The gripping device 2 is moved to the garbage placement trough 3 to grab one of the garbage models 31, and the garbage model 31 is moved to any of the classified garbage bin models 41 in the garbage disposal trough 4 to release the garbage model 31, so as to realize the disposal of the garbage model 31. This highly simulates the scene of real garbage classification and disposal, enhances the user's sense of immersion, and realizes simulated disposal.

[0063] At this time, the identification device 42 in the classified garbage bin model 41 will identify the classification label device 32 in the garbage model 31. If the type of garbage model 31 is matched with the type of classified garbage bin model 41, the identification device 42 will be able to identify the classification label device 32 and generate an identification signal to be transmitted to the control device to achieve real-time identification.

[0064] Furthermore, the control device receives the recognition signal generated by the recognition device 42, and controls the gripping device 2 to move to the prize placement rack 5 to grab the prize 51 in real time, and moves the prize 51 to the prize placement slot 6 to release the prize 51, so as to realize the placement of the prize 51. The user can take the prize 51 by accessing the opening 61, thereby realizing reward feedback and enhancing the interactive experience.

[0065] The resulting interactive waste sorting and retrieval device forms a closed-loop structure of "simulated disposal - real-time recognition - reward feedback," greatly enhancing the device's fun and interactive experience, and effectively motivating users to learn and practice correct waste sorting.

[0066] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
