[0046] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a flowchart of a method for processing a plastic container according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0048] The method for processing plastic containers in this embodiment includes the following steps performed sequentially:
[0049] S1. Apply a code to each plastic container; the code includes the plastic container's material information, production batch, and unique identification number;
[0050] S2. Select the processing mode of the plastic container; the processing modes of the plastic container include immediate cleaning and recycling mode and recycling mode;
[0051] S3. Place the plastic container into the plastic container processing system and execute the plastic container processing mode selected in S2:
[0052] S3a, Executing the immediate cleaning and recycling mode includes:
[0053] The plastic containers are immediately and sequentially cleaned, sterilized, and dried, and then the number of cleanings for each coded plastic container is accumulated.
[0054] S3b, Executing the recycling mode includes:
[0055] The total number of cleaning cycles for each plastic container is identified, and the total number of cleaning cycles for each plastic container is compared with a preset number.
[0056] The recycling modes include: a centralized cleaning and recycling mode and a recycling and crushing production recycling mode; when the total number of cleanings of the plastic container is greater than a preset number, it is allocated to the recycling and crushing production recycling mode; when the total number of cleanings of the plastic container is less than a preset number, it is allocated to the centralized cleaning and recycling mode.
[0057] The process of implementing the centralized recycling and cleaning reuse mode includes: identifying the code of the plastic container, carrying out centralized recycling and cleaning of the plastic container, and when the number of plastic containers collected reaches a preset number, a signal is sent to the logistics unit to transport the plastic containers out through the logistics unit. The number of cleaning times for each plastic container with a unique identification number is accumulated, and the plastic containers are centrally and sequentially cleaned, sterilized and dried. After completion, the plastic containers are reused.
[0058] The recycling and crushing production cycle processing mode includes: identifying the code of the plastic container, crushing and recycling the plastic container, and when the amount of crushed fragments of the plastic container recovered reaches the preset recovery amount, notifying the logistics unit to transfer the crushed fragments of the plastic container to the processing and reprocessing stage.
[0059] Further, please refer to Figure 2. The specific crushing and recycling process in step S3b of the recycling and crushing production cycle includes:
[0060] S41. Classify plastic containers according to their material information;
[0061] S42. Crush plastic containers of the same material separately;
[0062] S43. Compress the broken plastic container fragments of the same material, and detect and record the amount of recovered plastic container fragments. The amount of recovered plastic container fragments can be calculated by the container's capacity or by weighing the plastic container fragments.
[0063] More specifically, in step S42, the crushing method for the recycled plastic containers includes downward crushing or clamping pressure crushing. Downward crushing involves the upper die of the crushing mold moving downwards to crush recycled plastic containers of the same material in the lower die. Clamping pressure crushing involves two sets of crushing blades interlocking to create a clamping force, crushing the recycled plastic containers of the same material.
[0064] In this embodiment, in step S3b, if the code of the plastic container does not meet the processing requirements of the plastic container, it is removed from the plastic container processing system.
[0065] In the centralized cleaning and recycling mode, when the production batch of the plastic container is identified as exceeding the preset shelf life, it is directly allocated to the recycling and crushing production recycling processing mode.
[0066] Thus, through the above steps, a one-stop process for cleaning and recycling plastic containers can be achieved.
[0067] The following section, with reference to Figures 1, 3 to 7, provides a detailed description of the plastic container processing system that performs the above-described plastic container processing method.
[0068] Referring to Figure 2, the plastic container processing system 100 of this embodiment includes an identification module 10, a cleaning device 20, and a recycling and crushing system 30 connected to each other. The identification module 10 identifies the code of the plastic container; this code includes the material information, production batch, and unique identification number of the plastic container. The cleaning device 20, after selecting a processing mode for the plastic container, executes the corresponding processing mode to clean the plastic container. The recycling and crushing system 30 executes a recycling and crushing production cycle processing mode to crush and recycle the plastic container.
[0069] Please refer to Figure 3, where the cleaning device 20 includes a placement port 21, a dispensing port 22, and a cleaning mechanism 23. The placement port 21 receives plastic containers fed into the plastic container processing system 100. The cleaning mechanism 23 cleans the plastic containers received by the placement port 21 and performs cleaning, sterilization, and drying treatments on the plastic containers. Specifically, in an immediate cleaning and recycling mode, the cleaning mechanism 23 immediately and sequentially cleans, sterilizes, and dries the plastic containers. The dispensing port 22 receives plastic containers that have been cleaned, sterilized, and dried by the cleaning mechanism 23 before being put into use. Specifically, the dispensing port 22 receives plastic containers that have been cleaned, sterilized, and dried by the cleaning mechanism in an immediate cleaning and recycling mode before being put into reuse.
[0070] The identification module 10 is used to identify the code of the plastic container; the code includes the material information, production batch, and unique identification number of the plastic container. The identification module 10 is also used to identify each coded plastic container and accumulate its cleaning count in the immediate cleaning and recycling mode; and to identify the total number of cleaning counts of the plastic container in the recycling mode; further used to identify the code of the plastic container in the centralized recycling and cleaning mode, perform centralized recycling and cleaning treatment on the plastic container, and identify whether the cumulative recycling amount of the plastic container has reached a preset quantity; and further used to identify the code of the plastic container in the recycling and crushing production recycling mode, perform crushing and recycling treatment on the plastic container, and identify whether the amount of crushed fragments of the plastic container recovered has reached a preset recycling amount.
[0071] The recycling and crushing system 30 is used to perform recycling and crushing production and reuse processing mode to crush and recycle plastic containers.

Referring to Figure 5, the crushing device 32 includes an inlet 321, a crushing mechanism 322, and an outlet 323. The sorting module 31 is used to sort the recycled plastic containers according to the plastic material information encoded in each plastic container. The inlet 321 is used to receive recycled plastic containers with the same plastic material information. The crushing mechanism 322 is used to crush the recycled plastic containers sorted according to the same plastic material information. The outlet 323 is used to guide the crushed fragments of the recycled plastic containers sorted according to the same plastic material information into the storage mechanism.
[0073] Referring to Figure 6, the storage mechanism 35 includes a compression module 351, a recycling cup 352, and a monitoring module 353. The compression module 351 compresses recycled plastic container fragments, classified according to the same plastic material information, introduced through the discharge port 321. The recycling cup 352 stores the compressed recycled plastic container fragments, classified according to the same plastic material information, from the compression module 351. The monitoring module 353 detects and records the amount of compressed plastic container fragments stored in the recycling cup 352; when the amount of recycled plastic containers reaches a preset amount, it notifies the logistics unit to transfer the recycled plastic containers to the processing and reprocessing stage. The amount of recycled plastic container fragments can be calculated either by the container's capacity or by weighing the plastic container fragments.
[0074] Specifically, in this embodiment, the crushing mechanism 322 is a downward-pressing crushing mechanism. This downward-pressing crushing mechanism includes an upper mold that presses downwards and a lower mold that carries the plastic containers to be crushed for recycling. In an alternative embodiment, the crushing mechanism 322 is a snap-fit pressure crushing mechanism. This snap-fit pressure crushing mechanism includes an electrically driven snap-fit crushing power module, an electrically driven snap-fit module, and an electrically driven snap-fit control module. The electrically driven snap-fit crushing power module provides power for the electrically driven snap-fit module to crush the recycled plastic containers. The electrically driven snap-fit control module controls the use of appropriate snap-fit force during the crushing of the recycled plastic containers by the electrically driven snap-fit module.
[0075] In this embodiment, the recycling and crushing system 30 can recycle plastic containers of various different plastic material types. There are multiple inlet ports 321, outlet ports 323, and recycling cups 352, and the number of each is the same. Furthermore, the number of inlet ports 321, outlet ports 323, and recycling cups 352 corresponds to the number of categories of plastic material information classified by the classification module 31. This maintains the purity of the recycled plastic material.
[0076] In another specific embodiment, an integrated device 200 for processing plastic containers is also provided, which integrates the plastic container processing system of the above embodiments. The integrated device 200 includes a support housing and the plastic container processing system 100 of the above embodiments disposed on the support housing. In this way, the functions of cleaning and recycling plastic containers are integrated into one unit, further realizing one-stop processing of cleaning and sorting recycling of plastic containers.
[0077] Referring to Figure 8, specifically, the support housing is provided with at least a placement port 21 and a dispensing port 22; the cleaning mechanism 23 and the recycling and crushing system 30 are disposed within the support housing (not shown in Figure 8). In this embodiment, the placement port 21 includes a first placement port 211 and a second placement port 212. The first placement port 211 serves as the inlet for the cleaning mechanism, used to receive plastic containers fed into the plastic container processing system. The dispensing port 22 serves as the outlet for the cleaning mechanism, used to place plastic containers that have been cleaned, sterilized, and dried by the cleaning mechanism in the immediate cleaning and recycling mode before being put into recycling. The second placement port 212 serves as the inlet for plastic containers processed in the recycling mode; the second placement port 212 is located near the recycling and crushing system 30.
[0078] The support housing is equipped with a storage mechanism 35, which stores plastic containers in a centralized recycling and cleaning mode or in a recycling and crushing production recycling mode.
[0079] Furthermore, the support housing also includes other windows. For example, the support housing also includes a display screen window 50. The display screen window 50 can be used for interactive selection of the plastic container processing mode, querying the amount of compressed plastic container fragments stored in the recycling cup that are detected and recorded by the monitoring module of the recycling and crushing system, etc. The support housing also includes an opening for removing the crushed plastic container fragments recycled from the recycling cup of the recycling and crushing system.
[0080] The above embodiments only illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, such as combining different features in the various embodiments, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
