Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of waste collection technology, and more specifically, to a waste collector. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production and processing, waste collection and treatment processes are often involved to facilitate centralized waste disposal. Taking the die-cutting process of electrode sheets as an example, during the die-cutting process, a portion of the electrode sheet is removed to form tabs. The removed portion of the electrode sheet needs to be collected and treated by a collector. However, some waste material easily deviates from the collector, affecting the normal processing of the product. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a waste collector that reduces the risk of waste deviating from the waste collector.

[0004] This application provides a waste collector, including a collection pipe and a conveying assembly; the collection pipe has an inlet end; the conveying assembly includes a base and a conveyor belt, the base is installed at the inlet end, the base has a conveying side, a negative pressure chamber is formed inside the base, the negative pressure chamber forms an opening on the conveying side, and the conveyor belt is disposed on the base, the conveyor belt is used to convey the waste located on the conveying side into the collection pipe.

[0005] In the above technical solution, a negative pressure chamber is formed in the base, creating negative pressure within the chamber. This allows waste material located on the conveyor side of the base to be adsorbed onto the conveyor belt through an opening, and then transported to the collection pipe via the conveyor belt. This conveying method stabilizes the waste material on the conveyor belt, making waste collection more stable and reducing the risk of waste material detaching from the conveyor belt and falling outside the collection pipe during transport.

[0006] In some embodiments, the wall of the negative pressure chamber is provided with multiple air intakes, which are arranged along the conveying direction of the waste material. By arranging multiple air intakes along the conveying direction of the waste material, a stable negative pressure zone can be formed in multiple areas arranged along the conveying direction of the waste material within the negative pressure chamber, which is beneficial to improving the adsorption effect on the waste material, thereby making the conveyor belt's transmission of the electrode sheet more stable.

[0007] In some embodiments, the flow area of ​​multiple air intakes gradually decreases along the waste conveying direction. By setting the flow area of ​​multiple air intakes to gradually decrease along the waste conveying direction, the air intakes farther away from the collection pipe are larger, enabling the air intakes farther away from the collection pipe to have greater suction force. This helps to improve the stability of waste adhering to the conveyor belt away from the collection pipe and reduces the risk of waste falling out of the collection pipe.

[0008] In some embodiments, the waste collector further includes a negative pressure pipe, which comprises a main pipe and multiple branch pipes, all of which are connected to the main pipe, with each branch pipe corresponding to a suction port. This method of connecting multiple branch pipes to the main pipe reduces the material cost of the negative pressure pipe.

[0009] In some embodiments, the cavity wall of the negative pressure chamber includes a first cavity wall, which is provided with multiple air intake ports. The main pipe and multiple branch pipes are all located on the side of the first cavity wall away from the negative pressure chamber. This further reduces the difficulty and cost of installing the negative pressure pipe.

[0010] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly includes a plurality of conveying rollers spaced circumferentially around a base, and a conveyor belt wraps around the outer periphery of the base and is drive-connected to the plurality of conveying rollers. This arrangement, with the conveyor belt wrapped around the outer periphery of the base, reduces the complexity of its installation.

[0011] In some embodiments, there are multiple conveyor belts, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the conveyor rollers, with the axial direction of the conveyor rollers perpendicular to the conveying direction of the waste material. By setting multiple conveyor belts spaced apart along the axial direction of the conveyor rollers, on the one hand, the opening of the negative pressure chamber can adsorb waste material through the gap between two adjacent conveyor belts, thereby increasing the adsorption force on the waste material; on the other hand, the gap between two adjacent conveyor belts can extend along the conveying direction of the waste material, thereby reducing the risk of the workpiece being scratched by contacting the conveyor belt when it is conveyed along the conveying direction of the waste material.

[0012] In some embodiments, the conveyor roller is provided with multiple annular grooves, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the conveyor roller, with each conveyor belt corresponding to one annular groove. In this way, the annular grooves on the conveyor roller can restrict the position of the conveyor belt, thereby making the distance between two adjacent conveyor belts more stable and improving the stability of waste conveying.

[0013] In some embodiments, the collection pipe includes a baffle wall spaced apart from the conveyor belt and partially blocking the opening of the negative pressure chamber. By spaced the baffle wall from the conveyor belt, waste material can pass through the gap between the baffle wall and the conveyor belt into the collection pipe, reducing the difficulty of waste material entering the collection pipe. By blocking part of the opening of the negative pressure chamber, the negative pressure chamber can retain the waste material on the conveyor belt as it enters the gap between the baffle wall and the conveyor belt, thereby reducing the risk of waste material detaching from the conveyor belt before entering the collection port and reducing the risk of waste material falling outside the collection pipe.

[0014] In some embodiments, an opening is formed on one side of the negative pressure chamber along a first direction, and the position of the baffle wall along the first direction is adjustable, with the first direction perpendicular to the waste conveying direction. By making the position of the baffle wall adjustable along the first direction, the distance between the baffle wall and the conveyor belt can be adjusted, thereby enabling the waste collector to be adapted to waste of different thicknesses and improving the compatibility of the waste collector.

[0015] In some embodiments, a portion of the conveyor belt on the conveying side is located inside the collection pipe, while another portion is located outside the collection pipe. This allows the portion of the conveyor belt outside the collection pipe to receive waste, while the portion inside the collection pipe guides the waste into the collection pipe, reducing the risk of waste detaching from the conveyor belt and falling outside the collection pipe during transport.

[0016] In some embodiments, the waste collector further includes a negative pressure device connected to a collection pipe. The negative pressure device is used to create a negative pressure within the collection pipe to draw away waste from the pipe. This allows the negative pressure device to remove waste entering the collection pipe, reducing the risk of waste clogging the pipe. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the terminology used in the description of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the description, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the description, claims, or accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order or hierarchy.

[0022] In this application, the reference to "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0023] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "attachment" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] In this application, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Additionally, in this application, the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0025] In the embodiments of this application, the same reference numerals denote the same components, and for the sake of brevity, detailed descriptions of the same components are omitted in different embodiments. It should be understood that the thickness, length, width, and other dimensions of various components in the embodiments of this application shown in the accompanying drawings, as well as the overall thickness, length, width, and other dimensions of the integrated device, are merely illustrative and should not constitute any limitation on this application.

[0026] In this application, "multiple" means two or more (including two).

[0027] During the production of electrode sheets, die-cutting is required to form tabs on at least one side of the electrode sheet along its width. During the die-cutting process, the waste material removed needs to be collected to reduce the risk of waste falling onto the electrode sheet's transport rollers and causing deformation during transport.

[0028] A waste collector can be installed to collect the waste material that falls off during the electrode die-cutting process. During the waste collection process, a guide device is typically needed to direct the cut-off waste material to the collection point. However, during this process, some waste material may fall and fail to reach the collection point, increasing the risk that the waste material will interfere with electrode transport.

[0029] Therefore, in order to improve the processing quality of the electrode sheets, this application provides a waste collector, including a collection pipe and a conveying assembly. The collection pipe has an inlet end. The conveying assembly includes a base and a conveyor belt. The base is installed at the inlet end and has a conveying side. A negative pressure chamber is formed inside the base, and the negative pressure chamber has an opening on the conveying side. The conveyor belt is disposed on the base and is used to convey the waste located on the conveying side into the collection pipe.

[0030] In this type of waste collector, a negative pressure chamber is formed in the base, creating negative pressure within the chamber. This negative pressure draws waste from the conveyor side of the base onto the conveyor belt through an opening, and the conveyor belt then transports the waste into the collection pipe. This conveying method stabilizes the waste on the conveyor belt, making waste collection more stable and reducing the risk of waste detaching from the conveyor belt and falling outside the collection pipe during transport.

[0031] The waste collector is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 ,and Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the waste collector 10 and the electrode 20 provided in some embodiments of this application; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the waste collector 10 provided in some embodiments of this application; Figure 3 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of a waste collector 10 provided in some embodiments of the present application (showing a negative pressure chamber 212). The present application provides a waste collector 10, including a collection pipe 1 and a transmission assembly 2. The collection pipe 1 has an inlet end 11. The transmission assembly 2 includes a base 21 and a transmission belt 22. The base 21 is mounted on the inlet end 11 and has a conveying side 211. A negative pressure chamber 212 is formed inside the base 21, and the negative pressure chamber 212 forms an opening 213 on the conveying side 211. The transmission belt 22 is disposed on the base 21 and is used to convey waste 30 located on the conveying side 211 into the collection pipe 1.

[0033] The collection pipe 1 is used to transport the collected waste 30. The collection pipe 1 may have an inlet end 11 and an outlet end. The outlet end of the collection pipe 1 may be connected to a waste 30 storage device, and the collection pipe 1 can discharge the waste 30 into the waste 30 storage device for collection through the outlet end. The waste 30 storage device may be a waste 30 collection box, a waste 30 transfer frame, etc.

[0034] Waste 30 can enter the collection pipe 1 from the inlet end 11. The base 21 is installed at the inlet end 11; it can be located outside the inlet end 11 of the collection pipe 1, or a portion of the base 21 can extend into the inlet end 11 of the collection pipe 1. The base 21 can be fixedly connected to the collection pipe 1; for example, the base 21 and the collection pipe 1 can be welded together. Alternatively, the base 21 and the collection pipe 1 can be detachably connected; for example, the base 21 and the collection pipe 1 can be snap-fitted together; or, for example, the base 21 and the collection pipe 1 can be connected by fasteners, such as bolts.

[0035] The conveying side 211 of the base 21 is used to convey waste material 30. A negative pressure chamber 212 is formed inside the base 21. A negative pressure is created inside the negative pressure chamber 212 to draw airflow outside the opening 213 on the conveying side 211 into the negative pressure chamber 212. The number of openings 213 can be one or more. In embodiments where the number of openings 213 is multiple, all openings 213 are in communication with the negative pressure chamber 212.

[0036] The conveyor belt 22 may be disposed on the side of the base 21 with the conveying side 211. Alternatively, part of the conveyor belt 22 may be located on the side of the base 21 with the conveying side 211, and the other part may pass through the base 21. Alternatively, the conveyor belt 22 may be disposed around the base 21, with part of the conveyor belt 22 located on the side of the base 21 with the conveying side 211.

[0037] The conveyor belt 22 can be a ring-shaped belt structure with through holes, allowing airflow to pass through the through holes and enter the negative pressure chamber 212 through the opening 213. Alternatively, the conveyor belt 22 can be a ring-shaped track structure, comprising multiple sequentially hinged connecting blocks with gaps between adjacent connecting blocks, allowing airflow to pass through the gaps and enter the negative pressure chamber 212 through the opening 213.

[0038] In this embodiment, a negative pressure cavity 212 is formed in the base 21, creating a negative pressure within the cavity. This allows waste material 30 located on the conveyor side 211 of the base 21 to be adsorbed onto the conveyor belt 22 through the opening 213, and then transported to the collection pipe 1 via the conveyor belt 22. This transport method stabilizes the waste material 30 on the conveyor belt 22, making the collection of waste material 30 more stable and reducing the risk of waste material 30 detaching from the conveyor belt 22 and falling outside the collection pipe 1 during transport.

[0039] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of the transmission component 2 provided in some embodiments of this application. The cavity wall of the negative pressure chamber 212 is provided with a plurality of air intakes 214, which are arranged along the transmission direction X of the waste material.

[0040] The number of air intake ports 214 can be two, three, four, five, or more. Multiple air intake ports 214 can be located on the same wall of the negative pressure chamber 212; or multiple air intake ports 214 can be located on multiple walls of the negative pressure chamber 212. The number of air intake ports 214 on the wall of the negative pressure chamber 212 can be one or more.

[0041] Along the waste conveying direction X, multiple suction ports 214 located on the cavity wall of the same negative pressure chamber 212 can be arranged at intervals. Multiple suction ports 214 located on different cavity walls of the negative pressure chamber 212 can be arranged at intervals, or they can be partially located in the same area along the conveying direction of the electrode 20.

[0042] In this embodiment, by setting multiple air intakes 214 arranged along the waste conveying direction X, a stable negative pressure zone can be formed in multiple areas arranged along the waste conveying direction X in the negative pressure chamber 212, which is beneficial to improving the adsorption effect on the waste 30, thereby making the transmission of the electrode 20 by the conveyor belt 22 more stable.

[0043] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 4 Along the waste conveying direction X, the flow area of ​​the multiple suction ports 214 gradually decreases.

[0044] The cross-sectional shape of the intake port 214 can be square, circular, elliptical, rhomboid, etc. The area enclosed by the smallest cross-section of the intake port 214 in the flow direction is the flow area of ​​the intake port 214. For example, ... Figure 4 As shown, there are two intake ports 214, with the upstream intake port 214 having a larger flow area than the downstream intake port 214. Alternatively, there may be three intake ports 214, with the upstream intake port 214 having a larger flow area than the two downstream intake ports 214, and the middle intake port 214 having a larger flow area than the downstream intake port 214.

[0045] In this embodiment, by setting the flow area of ​​multiple air inlets 214 to gradually decrease along the conveying direction X of the waste, and the air inlets 214 further away from the collection pipe 1 to be larger, the air inlets 214 further away from the collection pipe 1 can have greater suction force, thereby helping to improve the stability of the waste 30 attached to the conveyor belt 22 and reduce the risk of the waste 30 falling out of the collection pipe 1.

[0046] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a waste collector 10 provided in some embodiments of this application. The waste collector 10 also includes a negative pressure pipe 3, which includes a main pipe 31 and a plurality of branch pipes 32. The plurality of branch pipes 32 are all connected to the main pipe 31, and each branch pipe 32 is connected to a corresponding air intake 214.

[0047] The number of negative pressure pipes 3 can be one or more. The number of branch pipes 32 of the negative pressure pipe 3 can be two, three, four, five or more. Multiple branch pipes 32 can be located on the same side of the negative pressure chamber 212; or multiple branch pipes 32 can be located on different sides of the negative pressure chamber 212. Gas in the negative pressure chamber 212 can enter the main pipe 31 through multiple branch pipes 32.

[0048] In this embodiment, by connecting multiple branch pipes 32 through the main pipe 31, the material cost of the negative pressure pipe 3 can be reduced.

[0049] In some embodiments, a negative pressure device is connected to the end of the main pipe 31 away from the multiple branch pipes 32, and the negative pressure device draws the airflow out of the main pipe 31. The negative pressure device may be a fan, a vacuum pump, etc.

[0050] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 5 The cavity wall of the negative pressure chamber 212 includes a first cavity wall 215, which is provided with multiple air intake ports 214. The main pipe 31 and multiple branch pipes 32 are all located on the side of the first cavity wall 215 away from the negative pressure chamber 212.

[0051] The first cavity wall 215 can be a wall on the base 21 adjacent to the wall portion where the opening 213 is located, or it can be a wall on the base 21 opposite to the wall portion where the opening 213 is located. The number of air intakes 214 on the first cavity wall 215 can be two, three, four, five, or more. Multiple air intakes 214 are spaced apart on the first cavity wall 215 along the waste conveying direction X.

[0052] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the air intake 214 ( Figure 4 (As shown in the diagram) There are two intake ports 214, which are spaced apart along the waste conveying direction X. The main pipe 31 is connected to two branch pipes 32, and each branch pipe 32 is connected to one intake port 214.

[0053] In this embodiment, by providing multiple air intake ports 214 on the first cavity wall 215 and the negative pressure pipe 3 being disposed on the side of the first cavity wall 215 away from the negative pressure cavity 212, the difficulty of setting the negative pressure pipe 3 can be further reduced, and the cost of setting the negative pressure pipe 3 can be reduced.

[0054] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the waste collector 10 provided in some embodiments of this application; Figure 7 for Figure 6A partial enlarged view of region A in the middle. The transmission assembly 2 includes multiple transmission rollers 23, which are circumferentially spaced around the base 21. The transmission belt 22 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the base 21 and is connected to the multiple transmission rollers 23 in a driving connection.

[0055] The number of transfer rollers 23 can be two, three, four, five, six, or more. The transfer rollers 23 are rotatably mounted on the base 21. Multiple transfer rollers 23 are disposed on the outer periphery of the base 21, and are spaced apart. The conveyor belt 22 has an annular structure; either all transfer rollers 23 are located within the annular structure of the conveyor belt 22, or some transfer rollers 23 are located outside the annular structure of the conveyor belt 22, while other transfer rollers 23 are located within the annular structure of the conveyor belt 22.

[0056] In this embodiment, the conveyor belt 22 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the base 21, which reduces the difficulty of setting up the conveyor belt 22.

[0057] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly 2 further includes a drive member connected to at least one transmission roller 23. The drive member drives the transmission roller 23 to rotate, thereby causing the transmission belt 22 to rotate around the outer periphery of the base 21. The drive member may be a motor.

[0058] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 There are multiple conveyor belts 22, which are spaced apart along the axial direction Y of the conveyor rollers. The axial direction Y of the conveyor rollers is perpendicular to the conveying direction X of the waste material.

[0059] The number of conveyor belts 22 can be two, three, four, five, six, or more. The conveyor belts 22 can be strip-shaped annular structures, and their cross-sections can be circular, rectangular, elliptical, etc. Multiple conveyor belts 22 are spaced apart along the axial direction Y of the conveyor roller, with gaps forming between adjacent conveyor belts 22. Airflow near the waste material 30 can pass through these gaps and through the opening 213 into the negative pressure chamber 212, thereby adsorbing the waste material 30 onto the conveyor belts 22.

[0060] During the die-cutting process of electrode 20, the waste material 30 removed from electrode 20 is transported via conveyor belt 22. The electrode tab portion formed after die-cutting of electrode 20 will protrude from the main body of electrode 20. The electrode tab portion is likely to come into contact with conveyor belt 22. If the transmission speed of conveyor belt 22 is not the same as the transmission speed of electrode 20, a relative displacement will occur between conveyor belt 22 and electrode tab of electrode 20. In order to reduce the risk of conveyor belt 22 scratching electrode tab, even if there is a relative displacement when electrode tab contacts strip-shaped conveyor belt 22, the risk of electrode tab being scratched can be reduced.

[0061] In this embodiment, by setting multiple conveyor belts 22 spaced apart along the axial direction Y of the conveyor roller, on the one hand, the opening 213 of the negative pressure chamber 212 can adsorb waste material 30 through the gap between two adjacent conveyor belts 22, thereby increasing the adsorption force on the waste material 30; on the other hand, the gap between two adjacent conveyor belts 22 can extend along the conveying direction X of the waste material, thereby reducing the risk of the workpiece being scratched by contacting the conveyor belt 22 when it is conveyed along the conveying direction X of the waste material.

[0062] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the conveyor roller 23 provided in some embodiments of this application. The conveyor roller 23 is provided with a plurality of annular grooves 231, which are spaced apart along the axial direction Y of the conveyor roller, and each conveyor belt 22 is correspondingly inserted into one annular groove 231.

[0063] The number of annular grooves 231 can be two, three, four, five, or more. There can be a one-to-one correspondence between the annular grooves 231 and the conveyor belts 22; or there can be more annular grooves 231 than the number of conveyor belts 22, with multiple conveyor belts 22 selectively inserted into multiple annular grooves 231, and each annular groove 231 can insert at most one conveyor belt 22.

[0064] In this embodiment, the annular groove 231 on the transmission roller 23 can limit the position of the transmission belt 22, thereby making the distance between two adjacent transmission belts 22 more stable and improving the stability of the transmission belt 22 in conveying waste material 30.

[0065] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the waste collector 10 and the electrode 20 provided in some embodiments of this application. The collection pipe 1 includes a shielding wall 12, which is spaced apart from the conveyor belt 22 and shields a portion of the opening 213 of the negative pressure chamber 212.

[0066] The collection pipe 1 includes a pipe section 13 and a collection section 14. The collection section 14 has a receiving cavity that communicates with the pipe section 13. The collection section 14 is mounted on a base 21. The inlet end 11 is located in the collection section 14. A shielding wall 12 is a wall of the collection section 14. The shielding wall 12 is spaced apart from the conveyor belt 22 to form a channel for the waste 30 to pass through between the collection section 14 and the conveyor belt 22. The shielding wall 12 blocks a portion of the opening 213 of the negative pressure chamber 212 so that when the conveyor belt 22 transports the waste 30 to the area blocked by the shielding wall 12, the negative pressure chamber 212 can still maintain the adsorption effect on the waste 30, thereby reducing the risk of the waste 30 falling out of the collection pipe 1.

[0067] In this embodiment, by setting the shielding wall 12 and the conveyor belt 22 at intervals, it is beneficial for the waste 30 to pass through the gap between the shielding wall 12 and the conveyor belt 22 and enter the collection pipe 1, reducing the difficulty for the waste 30 to enter the collection pipe 1. By setting the shielding wall 12 to block part of the opening 213 of the negative pressure chamber 212, when the waste 30 enters the gap between the shielding wall 12 and the conveyor belt 22, the negative pressure chamber 212 can keep the waste 30 adsorbed on the conveyor belt 22, thereby reducing the risk that the waste 30 will detach from the conveyor belt 22 before entering the inlet end 11 of the collection port, and reducing the risk that the waste 30 will fall outside the collection pipe 1.

[0068] In some embodiments, an opening 213 is formed on one side of the negative pressure chamber 212 along the first direction Z, and the position of the shielding wall 12 along the first direction Z is adjustable, with the first direction Z being perpendicular to the waste conveying direction X.

[0069] For example, the collecting section 14 has two sidewalls arranged opposite each other along the axial direction Y of the conveying roller, and each sidewall is provided with a waist-shaped hole extending along the first direction Z. The base 21 is provided with a mounting hole, and the waste collector 10 also includes a bolt, which passes through the waist-shaped hole and locks into the mounting hole. The first direction Z, the waste conveying direction X, and the axial direction Y of the conveying roller are perpendicular to each other.

[0070] In this embodiment, by setting the position of the shielding wall 12 to be adjustable along the first direction Z, the distance between the shielding wall 12 and the conveyor belt 22 can be adjusted, thereby enabling the waste collector 10 to be applicable to waste 30 of different thicknesses and improving the compatibility of the waste collector 10.

[0071] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 9 The portion of the conveyor belt 22 located on the conveyor side 211 is partly inside the collection pipe 1 and partly outside the collection pipe 1.

[0072] The portion of conveyor belt 22 located on the conveying side 211 can be used to convey waste 30. The portion of conveyor belt located on the conveying side 211 and outside the collection pipe 1 can receive waste 30. The portion of conveyor belt located on the conveying side 211 and inside the collection pipe 1 can convey waste 30 into the collection pipe 1.

[0073] In this embodiment, the portion of the conveyor belt 22 located outside the collection pipe 1 can receive the waste 30, while the portion of the conveyor belt 22 located inside the collection pipe 1 can guide the waste 30 into the collection pipe 1, reducing the risk that the waste 30 will detach from the conveyor belt 22 and fall outside the collection pipe 1 during the transmission process.

[0074] In some embodiments, a portion of the opening 213 is located inside the collection tube 1, and another portion is located outside the collection tube 1.

[0075] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the waste collector 10 and the electrode 20 provided in some embodiments of this application. The waste collector 10 also includes a negative pressure device 4, which is connected to the collection pipe 1. The negative pressure device 4 is used to create a negative pressure in the collection pipe 1 to extract the waste 30 in the collection pipe 1.

[0076] The negative pressure device 4 can be a fan, vacuum pump, etc. The negative pressure device 4 removes the air from the collection pipe 1 to create a negative pressure inside the collection pipe 1. Under the action of the negative pressure, the waste material 30 in the collection pipe 1 moves from the collection section 14 to the pipe section 13.

[0077] The negative pressure device 4 can be located at the end of the pipe section 13 away from the collection section 14; or the negative pressure device 4 can be located inside the pipe section 13.

[0078] In this embodiment, the negative pressure device 4 can suck away the waste 30 that enters the collection pipe 1, reducing the risk of the waste 30 clogging the collection pipe 1.

[0079] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 This application provides a waste collector 10, including a collection pipe 1 and a conveying assembly 2. The collection pipe 1 has an inlet end 11. The conveying assembly 2 includes a base 21 and a conveyor belt 22. The base 21 is installed at the inlet end 11 and has a conveying side 211. A negative pressure chamber 212 is formed inside the base 21, and the negative pressure chamber 212 has an opening 213 on the conveying side 211. The conveyor belt 22 is disposed on the base 21 and is used to convey waste 30 located on the conveying side 211 into the collection pipe 1. The cavity wall of the negative pressure chamber 212 includes a first cavity wall 215, and the first cavity wall 215 is provided with a plurality of air intakes 214. The plurality of air intakes 214 are arranged along the conveying direction X of the waste, and the flow area of ​​the plurality of air intakes 214 gradually decreases along the conveying direction X of the waste. The waste collector 10 also includes a negative pressure pipe 3, which includes a main pipe 31 and multiple branch pipes 32. Each branch pipe 32 is connected to the main pipe 31, and each branch pipe 32 is connected to a corresponding air intake 214. The transmission assembly 2 includes multiple transmission rollers 23, which are spaced circumferentially around the base 21. A transmission belt 22 surrounds the outer circumference of the base 21 and is connected to the multiple transmission rollers 23 in a driving connection. Each transmission roller 23 has multiple annular grooves 231 spaced axially (Y-axis) along its axis. Multiple transmission belts 22 are inserted into the multiple annular grooves 231.

[0080] In this waste collector 10, a negative pressure chamber 212 is formed in the base 21, creating a negative pressure within the chamber. This allows waste 30 located on the conveyor side 211 of the base 21 to be adsorbed onto the conveyor belt 22 through the opening 213, and then transported to the collection pipe 1 via the conveyor belt 22. This conveying method stabilizes the waste 30 on the conveyor belt 22, making the collection of waste 30 more stable and reducing the risk of waste 30 detaching from the conveyor belt 22 and falling outside the collection pipe 1 during transport. By setting multiple suction ports 214 with gradually decreasing flow areas along the waste transport direction X, and larger suction ports 214 further away from the collection pipe 1, the suction ports 214 further away from the collection pipe 1 can have greater suction force. This helps improve the stability of waste 30 adhering to the conveyor belt 22, further reducing the risk of waste 30 falling out of the collection pipe 1. By setting multiple conveyor belts 22 spaced apart along the axial Y-axis of the conveyor roller, on the one hand, the opening 213 of the negative pressure chamber 212 can adsorb waste material 30 through the gap between two adjacent conveyor belts 22, thereby increasing the adsorption force on the waste material 30; on the other hand, the gap between two adjacent conveyor belts 22 can extend along the waste material conveying direction X, which can reduce the risk of the workpiece being scratched by contacting the conveyor belt 22 when it is conveyed along the waste material conveying direction X. The annular groove 231 on the conveyor roller 23 can restrict the position of the conveyor belt 22, thereby making the distance between two adjacent conveyor belts 22 more stable and improving the stability of the conveyor belt 22 in conveying waste material 30.
