[0028] As illustrated in FIG. 2, an unmanned collection machine (1) of a circular resource management system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a short-range communication detection unit (11) for detecting when a user carrying a mobile communication terminal with a short-range wireless communication function approaches; a camera unit (12) for photographing the user's face and the shape of the recyclable item; a fingerprint recognition unit (13) for recognizing the user's fingerprint; an input weight measuring unit (14) for measuring the weight of the recyclable item and ensuring stable transport; a payment processing unit (16) for decoding a reward packet frame transmitted from a management server (3); and when a user inputs a recyclable item, a product identification code is generated and transmitted to the management server (3) along with user fingerprint information, user image information, recyclable item weight information, and recyclable item image information. After decoding the reward packet frame using the payment processing unit (16), if the user is a collection work member or a general member, the reward amount is deposited into a pre-installed electronic wallet app, and if the user is a non-member, it can be exchanged for cash at a specific location. It is made by including a control unit (15) that identifies and supports socially needed groups by providing compensation coupons.

[0029] FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a management server of a circular resource management system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] As illustrated in FIG. 3, the management server (3) of the circular resource management system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a member reading unit (31) that reads whether a user is a collection work member, a general member, or a non-member using user fingerprint information and image information received from an unmanned collection machine (1); a recyclable item reading unit (32) that digitally images recyclable item image information received from an unmanned collection machine (1) and then analyzes it using an AI engine (33); an AI engine (33) that reads the type and material of the recyclable item along with the weight information of the recyclable item from the digital image processing data; a market price information receiving unit (34) that receives market price information regarding the purchase price according to the type and material of the recyclable item from recyclable item companies contracted in advance, updates it to the average market price, and manages it; a product information generating unit (35) that determines the compensation packet frame containing compensation amount information determined by adding or subtracting according to the type and material of the recyclable item; and a collection state that classifies the recyclable items recovered and loaded in the storage unit of the unmanned collection machine (1) by type and material, and simultaneously records and manages the quantity thereof. It comprises a management unit (36) and a collection request signal transmission unit (37) that transmits a collection request signal to a manager terminal (4) when it is determined that the amount of recyclables collected and stored in the storage unit of the unmanned collection machine (1) exceeds a certain volume capacity.

[0031] The short-range communication detection unit (11) of the unmanned collection device (1) detects when a user carrying a mobile communication terminal with a short-range wireless communication function approaches the vicinity of the unmanned collection device (1) via short-range wireless communication and transmits this to the control unit (15).

[0032] The control unit (15) of the unmanned collection machine (1) activates the camera unit (12), the fingerprint recognition unit (13), and the input weight measuring unit (14) when a user approaches, and then induces the user to recognize the fingerprint.

[0033] When the user's fingerprint is recognized through the activated fingerprint recognition unit (13), the control unit (15) of the unmanned collection machine (1) takes a picture of the user's face using the activated camera unit (12) and then instructs the user to insert recyclable materials.

[0034] The control unit (15) of the unmanned collection machine (1) determines whether the user has inserted a recyclable item based on the weight change detected by the input weight measuring unit (14), and if the user has inserted a recyclable item, it photographs the recyclable item using another camera of the activated camera unit (12), generates a product identification code, and transmits it to the management server (3) along with user fingerprint information, user image information, recyclable item weight information, and recyclable item image information.

[0035] The control unit (15) of the unmanned collector (1) operates the input weight measuring unit (14) to transfer the recyclable material to the storage unit (not shown).

[0036] The member reading unit (31) of the management server (3) uses the user's fingerprint information and image information received from the unmanned collection machine (1) to determine whether the user is a collection work member, a general member, or a non-member, and for collection work members, a government or local government subsidy is added to the compensation for each recyclable item.

[0037] Collection work members are groups in need of social support, such as the elderly who rely on recycling for their livelihood, recipients of basic livelihood support, people with disabilities, women with career breaks, and young adults preparing for independence; their personal information is registered as collection work members upon their application after verifying their eligibility in advance, and this information is managed as a database.

[0038] In addition, members of the collection team are instructed to download and install an electronic wallet app on their mobile phones.

[0039] General members are not collection work members, but if they wish, they can register their personal information as general members in advance and manage it as a database.

[0040] And regular members are instructed to download and install the electronic wallet app on their mobile phones.

[0041] The recycling reading unit (32) of the management server (3) digitally processes the recycling image information (shape, color, etc.) received from the unmanned collector (1), and then analyzes it together with the recycling weight information using an AI engine (33) to identify the type of recycling (various soju bottles, various beverage bottles, various PET bottles, various cans, etc.) and material (glass, aluminum, iron, PET, PVC, PE, etc.).

[0042] In addition, the recycling unit (32) of the management server (3) determines whether the recycling is for entertainment establishments or for non-entertainment establishments (household use, large business use, military supply use). No compensation is provided for items intended for entertainment establishments.

[0043] Additionally, the recycling reading unit (32) of the management server (3) reads whether the label, lid, and contents have been removed from the recycling item. For recycling items where the label, lid, and contents have not been removed, the compensation is reduced by a certain amount.

[0044] In addition, the recycling reading unit (32) of the management server (3) reads whether there is a damaged part in the recycling, and for recyclings with a damaged part, the compensation is reduced by a certain amount.

[0045] The market price information receiving unit (33) of the management server (3) receives market price information regarding purchase prices according to the type and material of recycled materials from recycling companies that have been contracted in advance, updates the average market price, and manages it as a database.

[0046] The product information generation unit (34) of the management server (3) determines a compensation packet frame (not shown) containing compensation amount information determined by adding or subtracting based on the type and material of the recyclable item, whether it is for entertainment establishments or not, whether the label, lid, and contents have been removed, whether there are damaged parts, and whether the user is a collection work member, a general member, or a non-member, and transmits it to the unmanned collection machine (1) along with the product identification code.

[0047] The compensation packet frame (not shown) consists of seven data field areas, and the seven data field areas overhead data field areas include a first working data field area, a second working data field area, a third working data field area, a reserve data field area, an error check data field area, and an end head data field area.

[0048] In a compensation packet frame (not shown), 1 digital word consists of 10 digital bytes, and 1 digital byte consists of 10 digital bits, but the number of each component can be increased or decreased as needed.

[0049] This configuration prevents hacking by unauthorized third parties, thereby preventing damage, misuse, or alteration of the recorded information. In other words, the reason for making the number of words constituting each field of the compensation packet frame (not shown), the number of bytes constituting each word, and the number of bits constituting each byte different from the general configuration is to prevent problems such as unauthorized hacking by others without permission, misuse of valuable information, or damage to the information (data).

[0050] The overhead data field area consists of 10 words and includes the starting point location information where the digital data recording of the compensation packet frame (not shown) begins, the corresponding sequence number among the multiple packet unit frames constituting the compensation packet frame (not shown) by a single separated file unit data or by a file unit of a specific title, the number of bits of digital data recorded in the corresponding packet unit frame, the source address information where the compensation packet frame (not shown) is first sent, the corresponding transit address information of all nodes that the compensation packet frame (not shown) passes through during the transmission process, the destination address information, and information on whether to retransmit.

[0051] The first working data field area consists of 30 words and is recorded and stored in a state linked with data separated into a single unit file, the date and time of creation, and the creator information, where data refers to data or information to be transmitted and is applied identically below.

[0052] The second working data field area consists of 30 words, and data separated into a single unit file is recorded and stored in a linked state with the date and time of creation and the author information, but the same data as the data recorded in the first working data field area is recorded and stored redundantly.

[0053] The third working data field area consists of 30 words, and the average value of the corresponding data recorded in the first working data field area and the second working data field area, respectively, is calculated and stored by the corresponding control signal of the program that is activated and operated.

[0054] The reserve data field area consists of 30 words, and the corresponding program that is activated and operated for the antigen packet frame is recorded and stored, and a portion of the area that is not used by the corresponding control signal (up to 80% of the area) is occupied and used as an operating memory area for the buffer, and also data information that needs to be written but is not separately defined is recorded and stored.

[0055] The error check data field area consists of 30 words, and the address information of the current location is checked by the corresponding control signal of the active operating program, the overhead data field area is searched to check the address information of the source, and the end head data field area is searched to check the address information of the destination, thereby determining whether the address information of the current location is the same as the address information of the source or the address information of the destination.

[0056] When the error check data field area determines that the address information of the current location is identical to the address information of the source location based on the corresponding control signal of the program being operated, the average value of the data recorded in the first working data field area and the second working data field area is calculated and recorded in the third working data field area.

[0057] In the error check data field area, if it is determined by the corresponding control signal of the active operating program that the address information of the current location is identical to the destination address information, errors are checked and recovered using the well-known cyclic redundancy check (CRC) method and Hamming code processing method for the data recorded in the first working data field area and the second working data field area, respectively; that is, if a transmission error occurs, after recovering the transmission error, a signal (information) is requested to be recorded to request retransmission in the end head data field area if the final data of each corresponding field is compared with the data recorded in the third working data field area and they are not identical.

[0058] The end head data field area consists of 10 words, and includes location information of the end point where the entire data recording of the compensation packet frame (not shown) ends, the corresponding sequence number among the multiple unit frames of the entire compensation packet frame (not shown) constituting the file unit, which is recorded identically to the overhead, information on the time of departure and arrival at each sender, transit point, and destination, and a signal (information) regarding whether a retransmission request is made by the corresponding control signal of the program operating the error check data field area.

[0059] The control unit (15) of the unmanned collection machine (1) decodes a reward packet frame (not shown) using the payment processing unit (16), and if the user is a collection work member or a general member, deposits the reward amount into a pre-installed electronic wallet app, and if the user is a non-member, issues a reward amount coupon that can be exchanged for cash at a specific location, and then notifies the administrator terminal (4).

[0060] Meanwhile, the collection status management unit (36) of the management server (3) classifies the recyclables collected and stored in the storage unit of the unmanned collector (1) by type and material, and simultaneously records and manages the quantity thereof, and the collection request signal transmission unit (37) of the management server (3) transmits a collection request signal along with the unmanned collector identification number to the manager terminal (4) when it is determined that the recyclables collected and stored in the storage unit of the unmanned collector (1) exceed a certain volume capacity, thereby enabling the timely collection of recyclables.

[0061] Next, the input weight measuring unit (14) of the unmanned collector (1) mentioned above will be described. In the following description, only the parts that differ from the above-described embodiment will be described in detail, and detailed descriptions of parts that are identical or extremely similar will be omitted.

[0062] FIGS. 4 to 6 are drawings showing an input weight measuring unit of a circular resource management system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0063] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, a circular resource management system according to one embodiment of the present invention is equipped with an unmanned collector (1), and the unmanned collector (1) can operate an input weight measuring unit (14) through a control unit (15) to transfer recyclable materials to a storage unit (not shown).

[0064] To this end, the input weight measuring unit (14) may be provided with a base plate (100), a mount body (200) located on the upper surface of the base plate (100) having an internal space (210), a mounting frame (300) located in the internal space (210) and connected to one side of the mount body (200) so as to be rotatable so as to allow the input recyclable material to be placed thereon, a weight measuring frame (400) located on one side of the mounting frame (300) to measure the weight of the recyclable material that has moved and been placed thereon by the rotation of the mounting frame (300), and a transfer device (500) fixed to the base plate (100) so as to be located outside the mount body (200), with one end protruding into the internal space (210), and when the protruding end moves downward, it comes into contact with the recyclable material placed on the weight measuring frame (400) to drop the recyclable material to the bottom of the base plate (100).

[0065] The above-mentioned mount body (200) may be provided with a rear plate (220) fixed to a base plate (100), a pair of side plates (230) fixed to the base plate (100) while maintaining a certain distance and positioned on both sides of the rear plate (220), with the upper portion formed as an uphill slope as it moves away from the direction of the rear plate (220), and a front plate (240) provided to correspond to the rear plate (220), fixed to the base plate (100), and combined with the pair of side plates (230).

[0066] The above rear plate (220), a pair of side plates (230), and a front plate (240) together with the base plate (100) can form an internal space (210) with an open top, and the mounting frame (300) and the weight measuring frame (400) can be provided in a positioned state within the internal space (210).

[0067] The above-mentioned mounting frame (300) may be equipped with a rotating plate (310) connected to a rear plate (220), a semicircular support pipe (320) which is coupled to the rotating plate (310) so as to be located in front of the rotating plate (310) and formed as an uphill slope as it moves away from the direction of the rear plate (220) so as to be placed on which recycled materials are placed, and a first motor (330) which is connected to the support pipe (320) so as to be located behind the rotating plate (310) and supplies driving force to rotate the rotating plate (310).

[0068] The above-mentioned semicircular support pipe (320) serves to support the recycled material when it is fed in, and can be rotated in the direction of the weight measuring frame (400) by the rotation of the rotating plate (310) which receives driving force from the first motor (330), so that the recycled material can be placed on the weight measuring frame (400).

[0069] Here, the support pipe (320) is provided in a shape that forms an uphill slope as it moves away from the rear plate (220), so that it becomes a downhill slope from the insertion direction toward the rear plate (220), thereby generating acceleration during insertion and improving the ease of insertion.

[0070] Depending on the slope of the support pipe (320), the upper part of the side plate (230) also forms an uphill slope as it moves away from the direction of the rear plate (220), and the rear plate (220) can be provided in a shape tilted at a certain angle to form a vertical line with respect to the support pipe (320).

[0071] The above weight measuring frame (400) measures the weight of the recycled material through a built-in weight sensor (not shown) after the recycled material is moved from the support pipe (320), and can be dropped to a storage unit (not shown) located at the bottom of the base plate (100) by a transfer device (500).

[0072] Here, the base plate (100) is provided with a drop groove (110) that allows a recyclable material to fall to a storage section (not shown) located at the bottom of the base plate (100) after being contacted by a conveying device (500), and a drop guide plate (120) that guides the falling recyclable material, and the recyclable material can be easily dropped to a storage section (not shown) located at the bottom of the base plate (100) by being guided by the drop guide plate (120).

[0073] Meanwhile, the transfer device (500) may be provided with a bracket (510) fixed to the outer surface of the side plate (230) and the base plate (100), a second motor (520) fixed to the bracket (510) and supplying driving force, a pinion (530) connected to the second motor (520), a rack (540) that is provided long in the vertical direction and moves in the vertical direction by engaging with the pinion (530), a moving plate (550) that moves in the vertical direction together with the rack (540) and the rack (540), and a contact block (560) that protrudes into the internal space (210) by combining with the moving plate (550).

[0074] The above bracket (510) is fixed to the side plate (230) and the base plate (100) to allow the second motor (520) to be coupled, and a pinion (530) is connected to the second motor (520) so that it can be rotated by the second motor (520).

[0075] The rack (540) is engaged with the pinion (530) and moves up and down by the rotation of the pinion (530), and the moving plate (550) is coupled with the rack (540) and can move up and down together with the rack (540).

[0076] A guide block (not labeled) to which the movable plate (550) is attached is provided on the rear surface of the movable plate (550), and the movable plate (550) can be easily moved up and down by being guided by the guide block (not labeled).

[0077] The above contact block (560) may have a penetration part (561) that penetrates the side plate (230) by being coupled to a movable plate (550) at one end, a contact part (562) that is located in the internal space (210) and contacts the recycled material, and a connecting part (563) that is provided at the other end of the penetration part (561) and connects the penetration part (561) and the contact part (562).

[0078] Here, the side plate (230) is provided with a guide groove (231) that guides the vertical movement of the penetration part (561), so that the vertical movement of the penetration part (561) can be easily achieved.

[0079] And the drop groove (110) is located on one side in the longitudinal direction of the weight measuring frame (400) and is located on the same line in the vertical direction as the contact part (562), so that the contact part (562) contacts and presses a part of the recycled material protruding from the weight measuring frame (400) toward the drop groove (110), thereby causing the recycled material to fall into the drop groove (110).

[0080] Based on the above, the operation sequence of the input weight measuring unit (14) is as follows: first, the recycled material is fed along the longitudinal direction of the support pipe (320) and settled, and then rotated toward the weight measuring frame (400) by the rotating plate (310).

[0081] After the recyclable material is placed on the weight measuring frame (400), the support pipe (320) is rotated by the rotating plate (310) and returns to its original position, and the weight measuring frame (400) measures the weight of the recyclable material.

[0082] After the weight measurement of the recyclable is completed, the contact block (560) descends to come into contact with the recyclable, and the recyclable that comes into contact with the contact block (560) falls into the drop groove (110), and after the recyclable falls, the contact block (560) ascends to return to its original position.

[0083] As described above, the circular resource management system according to one embodiment of the present invention can have the effect of enabling the weight of recycled materials to be measured after they have been stably transported.

[0084] Next, we will describe the auxiliary device (600) provided in the input weight measuring unit (14) mentioned above.
