Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of beverage recycling equipment technology, and more specifically to a recycling and storage device. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the promotion of waste sorting policies, intelligent recycling equipment for beverage containers has become increasingly popular in public places. These devices achieve efficient recycling of beverage containers through automatic identification and compression. Currently, the common technical approach is to place the recycling equipment separately, and once the recycling bins or bags are full, they need to be emptied immediately to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
[0003] However, the recycling equipment requires frequent emptying after it is full, which leads to excessive downtime, reduces the operating efficiency of the equipment, affects the user experience, increases transportation costs, and reduces the efficiency of emptying.
[0004] Therefore, this application studies a recycling storage device that allows for the manual removal of full recycling bins or bags from the recycling device and their exchange with empty recycling bins or bags in an extended cabinet, or for the direct storage of recycling bags in the extended cabinet. Unified emptying is only required when both the recycling device and the extended cabinet are full, thus shortening the downtime of the recycling device due to full capacity, increasing the temporary storage capacity of beverage containers, and simultaneously emptying multiple full recycling bins or bags, thereby improving efficiency and reducing transportation costs. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to shorten the downtime of recycling equipment due to full capacity, increase the temporary storage capacity of beverage containers, and improve the collection efficiency, this application provides a recycling storage device.
[0006] This application provides a recycling storage device, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A recycling storage device includes a recycling unit and an expansion cabinet. The expansion cabinet can be installed on one or more sides of the recycling unit. The expansion cabinet is provided with a lifting mechanism and a moving platform. The moving platform is used to place recycling boxes or bags. The lifting mechanism is used to drive the moving platform to move vertically along the expansion cabinet. When the lifting mechanism lifts the moving platform to a position near the top of the expansion cabinet, there is space below the moving platform for placing recycling boxes or bags.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the mobile platform can be lifted to a higher position and recycling boxes or bags can be placed below it by setting up the recycling equipment side by side or in parallel with the extended cabinet with the lifting mechanism. This achieves layered utilization of vertical space, thereby increasing the temporary storage capacity, reducing the frequency of collection and transportation, and shortening the downtime of the equipment due to full storage.
[0009] Optionally, the lifting mechanism includes a drive component and a traction component. One end of the traction component is connected to the drive component, and the other end is connected to the mobile platform. The drive component drives the traction component to move the mobile platform.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive component directly drives the mobile platform to rise and fall through the traction component. The structure is simple and reliable, which not only ensures the stability of the lifting process, but also makes the operation less labor-intensive and further shortens the processing time after the warehouse is full.
[0011] Optionally, the drive component is a self-locking winch, and the traction component includes a wire rope and a pulley. One end of the wire rope is connected to the moving platform, and the wire rope is connected to the self-locking winch via the pulley.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, using a combination of a two-way self-locking winch, wire rope, and pulleys, the winch's self-locking function can automatically stop the mobile platform at any height, preventing accidental slippage and improving operational safety.
[0013] Optionally, it may also include a guide assembly, which includes a guide rail extending vertically within the extended cabinet, the guide rail being used to limit and guide the movement direction of the mobile platform.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the vertical guide rail provides a precise motion trajectory for the mobile platform, preventing the platform from twisting or deviating during lifting and lowering, improving overall operational reliability, and reducing equipment failure and downtime.
[0015] Optionally, the guide assembly further includes a first limiting bearing connected to the mobile platform, the first limiting bearing being slidably engaged with the guide rail to limit the displacement of the mobile platform in the horizontal direction.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, the shaking or deviation of the platform during lifting and lowering is avoided, ensuring that the recycling boxes or bags enter and exit smoothly, and reducing the risk of jamming or tipping caused by platform tilting.
[0017] Optionally, two guide rails are spaced apart along the inner sidewall of the extended cabinet, and a set of first limiting bearings is provided on each side of the moving platform near both sides, with the first limiting bearings on both sides abutting against the sides of the two guide rails facing each other.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the first limit bearings on both sides abut against the inner sides of the two guide rails, forming a limit on the moving platform along the direction perpendicular to the extended cabinet door, effectively suppressing the lateral sway of the platform and further improving the stability of the lifting process.
[0019] Optionally, the guide assembly further includes a second limiting bearing. A set of the second limiting bearings is provided on each side of the moving platform. Each set includes at least two second limiting bearings, which abut against the two opposite sides of the guide rail on the same side.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, each set of two second limit bearings clamps from both sides of the guide rail, providing a limit for the mobile platform along the direction parallel to the expansion cabinet door. Together with the first limit bearing, they form a four-point positioning system, which significantly enhances the positioning accuracy of the platform in the horizontal plane and prevents the recycling frame or bag from colliding with the cabinet wall.
[0021] Optionally, the mobile platform has a mobile base, and one of the second limiting bearings in the group is connected to the mobile base via a fixing plate. The fixing plate is provided with a gap adjusting member, and the two ends of the gap adjusting member abut against the mobile base and the guide rail, respectively.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the clearance between the second limit bearing and the guide rail and the moving seat can be quickly adjusted by the clearance adjustment component, so that the operation can always be kept stable.
[0023] Optionally, the extended cabinet may also be provided with a limiting beam, which is used to limit the lifting height of the mobile platform.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting beam can restrict the upward movement of the mobile platform, effectively preventing the mobile platform from exceeding the safe travel range during the lifting process due to misoperation or mechanical failure, avoiding collisions with the top of the expansion cabinet or other components, thereby improving the safety and reliability of equipment operation and reducing structural damage and downtime maintenance time caused by exceeding limits.
[0025] Optionally, the extended cabinet may be equipped with an electronic lock, which is used to lock or unlock the cabinet door. The unlocking permission of the electronic lock may or may not be associated with the user login information of the recycling equipment; or the extended cabinet may also be equipped with a mechanical lock.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the unlocking permission of the electronic lock is bound to the user login information of the recycling equipment. Only authorized personnel can operate the cabinet door, preventing unauthorized removal of recyclables, ensuring material safety, and reducing the cost of manual operation.
[0027] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:
[0028] 1. By setting up recycling equipment side by side or parallel to an extended cabinet with a lifting mechanism, the mobile platform can be lifted to a high position and recycling boxes or bags can be placed below it, realizing the layered utilization of vertical space. This increases the temporary storage capacity, reduces the frequency of collection, and shortens the downtime of equipment due to full storage without changing the floor area.
[0029] 2. The drive component directly drives the mobile platform to rise and fall through the traction component. The structure is simple and reliable, which not only ensures the stability of the lifting process, but also makes the operation less labor-intensive and further shortens the processing time after the warehouse is full.
[0030] 3. The first and second limit bearings provide multi-point limit for the moving platform in the horizontal direction, preventing the platform from shaking or shifting when it is raised or lowered, ensuring that the recycling box or bag can enter and exit smoothly, and reducing the risk of jamming or tipping due to platform tilting.

[0040] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.
[0041] This application discloses a recycling storage device. (Refer to...) Figures 1-3 The recycling storage device includes recycling device 1 and expansion cabinet 2. Expansion cabinet 2 is installed on one or more sides of recycling device 1. Specifically, expansion cabinet 2 and recycling device 1 are arranged side by side or in parallel. Expansion cabinet 2 can be set on the left, right or rear side of recycling device 1, or on any one or more sides. Several expansion cabinets can be set as needed.
[0042] The extended cabinet 2 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 3 and a moving platform 4. The moving platform 4 is used to place recycling bins or bags. The lifting mechanism 3 is used to drive the moving platform 4 to move vertically along the extended cabinet 2. When a beverage container full of recycling bins or bags is placed on the moving platform 4, the lifting mechanism 3 lifts the moving platform 4 to a position near the top of the extended cabinet 2. There is space below the moving platform 4 to place recycling bins or bags. The second recycling bin or bag is then placed into the extended cabinet 2 below the moving platform 4, so that the extended cabinet 2 can store two recycling bins or bags at the same time. This increases the temporary storage capacity without changing the floor space, reduces the frequency of collection, and shortens the downtime of the equipment due to full storage.
[0043] In this embodiment, a guide plate is inclinedly installed on the bottom wall of the extended cabinet 2 near the cabinet door. The guide plate makes it easy to push the recycling box or bag into the extended cabinet 2, making it more convenient and labor-saving.
[0044] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a drive component 31 and a traction member 32. One end of the traction member 32 is connected to the drive component 31, and the other end is connected to the mobile platform 4. The drive component 31 drives the traction member 32 to move the mobile platform 4.
[0045] In some embodiments, the drive component 31 is a self-locking winch, which can be a bidirectional self-locking winch or a self-locking motor-driven winch. The traction component 32 includes a wire rope 321 and a pulley 322. One end of the wire rope 321 is connected to the moving platform 4, and the wire rope 321 is connected to the self-locking winch via the pulley 322. In this embodiment, the self-locking winch is a bidirectional self-locking winch. Two pulleys 322 are provided. The wire rope 321 extends upward, passes through the pulley 322, turns to a horizontal direction, passes through the two pulleys 322 in sequence, and then connects downward to the bidirectional self-locking winch. The bidirectional self-locking winch is provided with a detachable handle. The handle has a groove. When it is necessary to open the cabinet door of the extension cabinet 2, the groove of the handle is inserted into the limit position of the bidirectional self-locking winch. Rotating the handle rotates the bidirectional self-locking winch, thereby driving the moving platform 4 to the corresponding position. The handle 5 is removed, the second recycling box or bag is placed under the moving platform 4, and the cabinet door is closed.
[0046] In some embodiments, a guide component 6 is also included. The guide component 6 includes a guide rail 61 extending vertically within the extended cabinet 2. The guide rail 61 is used to limit the movement direction of the guide mobile platform 4, and can guide and limit the movement direction of the mobile platform 4, so that the movement of the mobile platform 4 can be more stable.
[0047] In some embodiments, the guide assembly 6 further includes a first limiting bearing 62 connected to the moving platform 4, the first limiting bearing 62 slidingly engaging with the guide rail 61 to limit the displacement of the moving platform 4 in the horizontal direction.
[0048] In some embodiments, two guide rails 61 are spaced apart along the inner wall of the extended cabinet 2. A set of first limiting bearings 62 is provided on each side of the moving platform 4, with each set including at least one first limiting bearing 62. In this embodiment, each set includes two first limiting bearings 62, spaced apart vertically. The sides of the first limiting bearings 62 on both sides abut against the opposing sides of the two guide rails 61, allowing the first limiting bearings 62 to move along the guide rails 61 during vertical movement and simultaneously providing horizontal limitation. The first limiting bearings 62 on both sides abut against the inner sides of the two guide rails 61, forming a limitation on the moving platform 4 perpendicular to the door direction of the extended cabinet 2. That is, the central axis of the first limiting bearing 62 is parallel to the width direction of the door of the extended cabinet 2. When the side of the first limiting bearing 62 abuts against the guide rail 61, the force is perpendicular to the door direction of the extended cabinet 2, thus preventing swaying or deviation during platform lifting and lowering.
[0049] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments, the guide assembly 6 further includes a second limiting bearing 63. A set of second limiting bearings 63 is provided on each side of the moving platform 4, with each set including at least two second limiting bearings 63, which abut against the opposite sides of the same guide rail 61. In this embodiment, each set includes three second limiting bearings 63. Each guide rail 61 includes a first guide rod 611 and a second guide rod 612 connected in a staggered manner. Two second limiting bearings 63 abut against the side of the first guide rod 611 facing the second guide rod 612, and the other second limiting bearing 63 abuts against the side of the second guide rod 612 facing the first guide rod 611. This allows the moving platform 4 to be limited in a direction parallel to the width of the extended cabinet 2 door by the second limiting bearings 63 on both sides. That is, the central axis of the second limiting bearing 63 is perpendicular to the extended cabinet 2 door, and the side of the second limiting bearing 63 abuts against the guide rail 61. The mutual abutting force is parallel to the width direction of the extended cabinet 2 door. In this embodiment, the first limiting bearing 62 abuts against the first guide rod 611.
[0050] In some embodiments, the mobile platform 4 has a movable seat 7, one side of which abuts against the first guide rod 611, and a gap is left between it and the second guide rod 612. One of the second limiting bearings 63 in a set is connected to the movable seat 7 via a fixing plate 8, which is screwed onto the movable seat 7. The angle of the second limiting bearing 63 can be adjusted by adjusting bolts. A gap adjusting member 9 is provided on the fixing plate 8, with both ends of the gap adjusting member 9 abutting against the movable seat 7 and the guide rail 61, respectively. The gap adjusting member 9 is an adjusting bolt. By adjusting the two ends of the bolt abutting against the second guide rod 612 and the movable seat 7, the gap can be adjusted, so that the operation can always be kept stable. In this embodiment, the first limiting bearing 62 is also connected to the movable seat 7, and the wire rope 321 is connected to the movable seat 7 via a lifting ring.
[0051] Refer again Figure 4 In some embodiments, a limiting beam 10 is also provided inside the extended cabinet 2, which limits the lifting height of the moving platform 4. In this embodiment, the limiting beam 10 is installed between two guide rails 61, which can effectively prevent the moving platform 4 from exceeding the safe travel distance during the lifting process due to misoperation or mechanical failure.
[0052] In some embodiments, the extended cabinet 2 is further provided with an electronic lock 11, which is used to lock or unlock the cabinet door of the extended cabinet 2. The unlocking permission of the electronic lock 11 is associated with the user login information of the recycling device 1. The unlocking methods of the electronic lock 11 include unlocking by logging into the interface of the recycling device 1; or, in the event of a power outage, opening the recycling device 1 with the emergency key and then opening the electronic lock 11 of the extended cabinet 2 by pulling the emergency cord inside the recycling device 1.
[0053] The implementation principle of a recycling storage device in this application embodiment is as follows: by setting the recycling device 1 and the extended cabinet 2 with the lifting mechanism 3 side by side, the mobile platform 4 can be lifted to a high position and recycling boxes or bags can be placed below it, thereby realizing the layered utilization of vertical space, thereby increasing the temporary storage capacity, reducing the frequency of cleaning, and shortening the downtime of the equipment due to full storage without changing the floor area.
