Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of waste recycling equipment, and in particular to a plastic bottle sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the advancement of waste sorting policies, the demand for recycling and reusing plastic bottles is growing. Efficient and precise sorting technology has become a key link in realizing the resource utilization of plastic bottles.

[0003] Existing plastic bottle sorting devices suffer from numerous problems in practical applications. For example, traditional sorting equipment often uses a fixed baffle structure, which can only sort plastic bottles of a single size. When encountering plastic bottles of different sizes and shapes, the baffle position needs to be manually adjusted, which is cumbersome and inefficient. Although some devices are equipped with detection mechanisms, the industrial camera is fixed in position, making it difficult to fully capture the appearance characteristics of the plastic bottles, resulting in a decrease in sorting accuracy. In addition, the design of the winding component of existing devices is unreasonable. The elasticity of the spring sheet weakens after long-term use, which can easily cause the surface covering of the conveyor belt to be not wound up in time, affecting subsequent sorting operations. At the same time, the feeding component of the feeding box lacks a flexible adjustment mechanism and cannot automatically adjust the feeding speed according to the accumulation of plastic bottles, often resulting in blockage and seriously affecting sorting efficiency. Therefore, this application designs a plastic bottle sorting device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

A feeding assembly is provided at the lower end; a lead screw is inserted inside the guide groove, and a first motor is installed on the side of the top plate. The motor shaft of the first motor is coaxially fixed to the lead screw; the lead screw is driven to rotate by the first motor, which can drive the slider 14 to move in the guide groove, thereby realizing flexible control of the sorting path; a connecting post 13 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the slider 14, and a baffle 12 is connected to the side of the connecting post 13; when the slider 14 moves, the connecting post drives the baffle 12 to move, and the baffle 12 can prevent the plastic bottle from changing its direction of movement, thereby achieving precise sorting;

[0020] In this invention, the winding assembly consists of a drum 9, a column 10, and a spring plate 11. The column 10 is installed at the lower end of the top plate and passes through the inside of the drum 9. A spring plate 11 is installed between the column 10 and the drum 9. The spring plate 11 provides elastic force, enabling the drum 9 to promptly wind up the baffle 12 when the connecting rod 13 is retracted, ensuring the normal operation of the conveyor belt 1. The detection mechanism consists of a frame 3 and an industrial camera. The inner walls at both ends of the frame 3 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the conveyor belt 1. An industrial camera is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the frame 3, and a linear motor that drives the industrial camera to slide is installed on the inner wall of the frame 3. The sliding industrial camera can capture images of plastic bottles from all angles, accurately identifying their characteristics and improving sorting accuracy. Support columns are provided at all four corners of the feeding box 4, and these columns are fixedly connected to the side wall of the conveyor belt 1.

[0021] Working Principle: When using this utility model, firstly, the power is turned on and the control panel is installed, and the conveyor belt 1 starts to run; then, the plastic bottle is placed into the feeding box 4, and by pressing the pressing block on the side of the feeding basket 8, the baffle 15 is pushed into the position of the limiting hole, and a suitable feeding speed is set to complete the feeding preparation; the plastic bottle enters the conveyor belt 1 from the feeding basket 8; when the plastic bottle moves with the conveyor belt 1 to the frame 3, the industrial camera sliding on the inner wall of the frame 3 takes a full-range picture and detects it, identifying the specifications, color and other characteristic information of the plastic bottle; then the detection information is transmitted to the control system, and the control system starts the first motor according to the preset program. The first motor drives the lead screw to rotate, so that the slider 14 moves in the guide groove, and drives the baffle 12 to adjust its position through the connecting column 13, guiding the plastic bottle to the corresponding discharge port 7 for sorting and discharge; throughout the sorting process, the winding assembly at the lower end of the top plate works continuously, and the drum 9, under the action of the spring plate 11, timely winds up the baffle 12 to ensure the stable operation of the conveyor belt 1; when all the plastic bottles are sorted, the power is turned off, and the sorting work is completed.
