They are used to drive the first and second arranged arc plates 39 and 43 to rotate under the action of the connecting rings 42 and the rotating shaft 44 to pour the arranged cups 16 into the recycling box 5 below.
[0023] The recycling box 5 is located at the bottom of the box 1. A door 4 is provided at the bottom of the box 1 on one side of the recycling box 5. The recycling box 5 is divided into a first recycling trough 6, a second recycling trough 7 and a third recycling trough 8. The first recycling trough 6 is located below the first sorting slide 36 and is used to recycle cups that cannot be identified. The second recycling trough 7 is located below the first arranged arc plate 39 and is used to recycle small cups. The third recycling trough 8 is located below the second arranged arc plate 43 and is used to recycle large cups.
[0024] A display screen 2 is installed on the upper outer wall of the box 1 on one side of the cup slot. A PLC controller 47 is installed inside the box 1. The PLC controller 47 is electrically connected to the display screen 2, the first infrared sensor 9, the card reader 11, the first push rod motor 18, the second push rod motor 28, the first laser sensor 31, the second laser sensor 33, the third laser sensor 34, the second infrared sensor 40, the third push rod motor 45, and the fourth push rod motor 46.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model: This utility model is designed for recycling with a special cup 16 that has a chip 17 at the bottom. The card reader 11 on the skateboard 12 matches the chip 17 at the bottom of the cup 16.
[0026] In use, the user places the used cup 16 into the positioning ring 10 in the cup slot 3. The card reader 11 on the slide plate 12 identifies the chip 17 at the bottom of the cup 16. When it is identified as a small cup, the signal is transmitted to the PLC controller 47, which starts the first push rod motor 18 to pull the slide plate 12 through the chain 19 and sprocket 20, exposing the second through hole 14 at the bottom of the slide plate 12. The cup falls from the second through hole 14 into the second sorting slide 37 of the sorting plate 35, and then enters the first row of arc plates 39 below, where they are stacked in sequence. Then, the slide plate 12 is pulled back to its original position by the springs 23 on both sides of the bottom, and the second through hole 14 is covered again. When the second infrared sensor 40 on one side of the bottom of the first row of arc plates 39 senses the cup, it means that the cup is full in the first row of arc plates 39. The PLC controller 47 starts the third push rod motor 45 to drive the first row of arc plates 39 to rotate downward under the action of the connecting ring 42 and the rotating shaft 44, pouring the cup into the second recycling slot 7 below. When a large cup is identified, the PLC controller 47 activates the second pusher motor 28 to pull the lower rotating plate 24 to rotate, thereby causing the positioning ring 10 connected to one side of the lower rotating plate 24 to shift. At the same time, the upper rotating plate 26 is moved through the connecting column 25. When the upper rotating plate 26 rotates to the right and blocks the second laser sensor 33 and the third laser sensor 34, the second pusher motor 28 stops pulling. At this time, the positioning ring 10 in the cup slot 3 moves the cup above the third through hole 15, causing the cup to fall from the third through hole 15 onto the sorting plate 35. The cups are placed in the third sorting slide 38 and then stacked in the second row of arc plates 43 below. Then the second push rod motor 28 drives the lower rotating plate 24 back to its original position, and the positioning ring 10 returns to the top of the slide plate 12. When the second infrared sensor 40 on the bottom side of the second row of arc plates 43 senses the cups, it means that the second row of arc plates 43 is fully loaded. The PLC controller 47 starts the fourth push rod motor 46 to drive the second row of arc plates 43 to rotate downward under the action of the connecting ring 42 and the rotating shaft 44, pouring the cups into the third recycling tank 8 below. When the cup cannot be identified, the first infrared sensor 9 detects that the cup is located within the positioning ring 10. After a few seconds, the second pusher motor 28 is activated by the PLC controller 47 to push the lower rotating plate 24 to rotate, thereby causing the positioning ring 10 connected to one side of the lower rotating plate 24 to shift. At the same time, the upper rotating plate 26 is moved through the connecting column 25. When the upper rotating plate 26 rotates to the left and blocks the first laser sensor 31 and the second laser sensor 33, the second pusher motor 28 stops pushing. At this time, the positioning ring 10 in the cup slot 3 moves the cup above the first through hole 13, so that the cup falls from the first through hole 13 into the first sorting slide 36 of the sorting plate 35, and then falls directly into the first recycling slot 6 below for recycling. Then the second pusher motor 28 drives the lower rotating plate 24 back to its original position, and the positioning ring 10 returns to the top of the slide plate 12.
[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
