Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste recycling technology, and in particular to a small intelligent bottle and can recycling machine. Background Technology
[0002] Waste plastic bottles and cans have high recycling value. Their recycling not only aligns with the concept of green environmental protection but also protects the environment in practice. However, relying solely on the public's initiative to recycle and sort bottles and cans is clearly inefficient and ineffective. To encourage the public to voluntarily practice green environmental protection, intelligent modules can be installed in dedicated recycling machines. These modules can identify and recycle plastic bottles and cans, and provide monetary rewards to those who dispose of them.
[0003] Existing smart bottle and can recycling machines typically include: a main control module, a dispensing module, an identification module, a transmission module, a flattening module, and a storage module. The identification module performs two detections / identifications, one in the dispensing module and one in the transmission module, or a single identification in one of them. Currently, the identification module and its structure are mainly concentrated in the transmission module because waste plastic bottles and cans spend a longer time in the transmission module than in the dispensing module. The identification in the dispensing module is primarily focused on whether the user is pulling the item back with the rope (for fraudulent purposes) and whether any item has entered the machine.
[0004] In practice, not all plastic bottles and cans can be recycled. Some recycling equipment only supports the recycling of plastic bottles or cans, or even only the recycling of cans from certain beverage brands, because their materials are different and their recycling difficulty is different.
[0005] Therefore, improving the efficiency and accuracy of this type of recycling method has become an urgent problem to be solved. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure that the recycling equipment does not cause blockage or fraud during the recycling process. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, a support panel is installed on the lower side of the V-shaped conveyor belt assembly to support the conveyor belt. The support panel has an opening. A metal sensing component is installed inside the V-shaped conveyor belt assembly. The probe of the metal sensing component detects the input at the conveyor belt through the opening.
[0010] Furthermore, a rear door assembly is installed at one end of the transmission channel near the flattening device; the rear door assembly includes: a bracket, on which a second motor, a pulley assembly, and a second stroke detection assembly are mounted, the second motor is connected to the pulley assembly, the upper belt of the pulley assembly is connected to the first side door, the lower belt of the pulley assembly is connected to the second side door, two second stroke detection assemblies are provided and respectively detect the first side door and the second side door, the second motor drives the pulley assembly to rotate and causes the first side door and the second side door to move closer to or further away from each other.
[0011] Furthermore, the first side door is equipped with a detector and a movable panel. The detector is a travel limit switch and / or a micro-motion sensor. The detector is connected to the movable panel, and one end of the movable panel faces the second side door. When the first side door and the second side door are close to each other, if there is an object between them, the object will press against the active panel and trigger the detector.
[0012] Furthermore, a camera module is provided at the top of the transmission channel, and the camera module faces the V-shaped transmission belt assembly.
[0013] In some embodiments, the flattening device is provided with an upper shell and a flattening mechanism, the interface of the upper shell is connected to the transmission channel, and the lower opening of the upper shell is connected to the flattening mechanism.
[0014] In some embodiments, the bottle and can recycling machine is equipped with a card reader on its panel; the bottle and can recycling machine is also equipped with a speaker.
[0015] The technical advantages achieved by this invention are as follows: At the first channel, comprehensive barcode scanning and detection are performed on the input items to immediately determine whether they are recyclable bottles or cans recorded in the database, improving initial detection efficiency and quality. Subsequent steps include identifying whether the input items are plastic or metal, as well as quality assessment, determining the corresponding recycling price based on the bottle or can material. During this process, image recognition is performed using a camera module to ensure accuracy. Photoelectric detection and weighing components are used to detect fraudulent activity, ultimately enabling the recycling of the input items and payment of the corresponding amount to the user, while also improving recycling efficiency. The upper shell of the back door component and the flattening device reduces the likelihood of input items clogging the transmission channel. Attached Figure Description
