Abstract

This application relates to the field of recycling equipment technology, and provides a beverage container recycling device, including a collection mechanism. At least two recycling elements are arranged along the length of the collection mechanism. Each recycling element has a recycling port, and a transmission element is arranged on the recycling port of an adjacent recycling element. Beverage containers are conveyed along the transmission elements, with each end of the transmission element corresponding to one of the two adjacent recycling elements. When the transmission element is in a first state, it blocks the upstream recycling port, conveying the beverage container to the downstream recycling element. When the transmission element is in a second state, it opens the upstream recycling port, conveying the beverage container to the upstream recycling element. Based on this, space can be fully utilized, and operation and maintenance costs can be reduced.
