By aligning the triangular-shaped multiple collection bins with the relevant one, the waste can be misplaced. a smart waste sorting and collection unit that physically prevents waste from being thrown into the bin It is related. 10 The invention is particularly relevant in the field of waste management and recycling technologies, especially for public institutions. in public spaces such as educational facilities, healthcare institutions and social living areas the process of properly and efficiently separating household solid waste at the source It offers an innovative system aimed at solving existing technical problems. 15 PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE In the field of waste management and recycling technologies, especially for public institutions, educational facilities, 20 household hazards occurring in public spaces such as healthcare facilities and social areas The proper sorting of qualified solid waste at the source according to its type (paper, plastic, glass, metal, organic, etc.). Separating and collecting them in this way is the first step in a sustainable recycling process. It consists of. In current technology, the systems used for this purpose are basically manual and Automatic sorting systems can be examined in two main categories. The technically known manual sorting system... Separation systems typically consist of separate collection bins for each type of waste, or bins spaced 25 meters apart. The use of independent, rectangular / square-shaped combined collection units with multiple lids. These systems are based on separate bins for paper, plastic, glass, metal, and other types of waste. It is located there, and placing the waste in the correct bin ensures the user correctly identifies the type of waste. It depends on the person selecting the appropriate bin. Throwing waste into the wrong bins leads to consequences. Mixing different types of waste in the same collection bin, 30% of recyclable waste This can lead to contamination and render them unusable. This situation occurs in recycling facilities. This necessitates an additional sorting line or processing step, and reduces process efficiency. While reducing costs, it increases labor and energy costs. Furthermore, in existing manual systems... Rectangular designs with multiple lids positioned side-by-side or stacked on top of each other are used. This can make the selection process more difficult for the user; due to the geometric arrangement of the compartments 35 limiting the efficient use of floor space, leading to a reduction in storage volume or the same 2 Increasing the overall dimensions of the device in order to achieve the required storage capacity. This is possible. On the other hand, in known automated sorting systems in technology, waste is generally Waste is deposited into the device through a single inlet, and then the waste accumulates within the device's internal volume. The cameras positioned are detected via infrared or other sensors, and the type of virus is identified. It is determined. According to this determined type, the waste consists of a complex series of mechanical transmission elements. 5 (robotic arms, screw conveyors, guide belts, tracked systems, air pressure guidance) (such as) transported and placed on or inside the intended collection container. This type of system involves multiple moving parts, servo motors, sensors, and control units. The complex structure, requiring coordinated work of the unit, results in high production costs and installation expenses. and maintenance difficulties and mechanical failures (part installation, engine wear, sensor 10 It has a high sensitivity to contamination, etc. In addition, waste detection in these systems, the processes of classification and physical transfer to the target container take a certain amount of time. This requires waiting, limiting processing capacity, especially under heavy usage conditions. This can lead to an increase in their duration. However, the majority of existing automated systems... In some cases, the conveyor of waste to the target hopper is accomplished using additional methods such as conveyor belts, ramps, or robotic arms. Since it is realized with mechanical components, these components can increase the overall volume of the device and This makes it difficult to create a compact design. This situation makes it difficult for existing systems to be used in offices, schools, This makes it difficult to install in environments with limited space, such as hospital corridors. However, in many of these systems, waste is not perfectly aligned with the target hopper or the target Since it can be released without being guided into the container in a controlled manner, falling into the wrong container is a risk of 20 The risk may persist. Consequently, with the current technology, on the one hand, it depends on the user's decision. separation errors and difficulties in use, on the one hand, and high cost and mechanical complexity, on the other.
