The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1, a schematic structural view of one embodiment of the recycling device of the bag of the present disclosure is shown. As shown in fig. 1, the interior of the recycling apparatus may be divided into a collecting zone 10, a collating zone 20, a folding zone 30 and a baling zone 40. Here, the collecting region 10 may be provided at an inlet of the collecting apparatus for collecting the bag J to be collected. Collation section 20 may be provided with collation mechanism M. The sorting mechanism M can unfold and sort the bag collecting J collected in the collecting area 10. The sorting mechanism M can orderly process the collected bag collecting bags J, so that the bag collecting bags J are flat and convenient to fold. The folding zone 30 may be provided with a platform, a folding plate Z and a folding drive assembly. The folding plate Z may be disposed around the platform. Both can support the bag collecting bag J after finishing together. Meanwhile, the folding plate Z can fold the bag collecting bag J on the platform under the action of the folding driving component. The baling zone 40 may be provided with a baling mechanism W. The packaging mechanism W can package a plurality of folded bag collecting J. That is, the packaging mechanism W can automatically pack the bags into bundles according to the configured number of bundles, such as 10, 15 or 20, and is convenient for carrying and storing.

That is, the collection region 10 functions primarily as a collection bag. The collating section 20 functions primarily to collate the bags. The function of the folding zone 30 is mainly to fold the bag. While the function of the packing area 40 is primarily to pack the folded bag.

In addition, the interior of the recovery device is also provided with a first transfer mechanism 50, which may be arranged in the collection zone 10, the collating zone 20 and the folding zone 30. And the first transfer mechanism 50 may be provided with a plurality of fixing members 53 for fixing the bag-collecting J. Thus, the worker can fix the bag J to be recovered on the first conveying mechanism 50 from the inlet of the recovery device according to the operation requirement, and the bag is collected. The first transfer mechanism 50 may then transport the collected bag to another area for automated handling by the recycling device. The arrangement, folding and packing process are completed by automation equipment instead of manpower, so that the efficiency of arranging and recycling bags can be improved, and the problems of low recycling efficiency and large workload of in-site consumable management are solved.

It is to be understood that the specific structure of each mechanism component is not limited herein, and the functions of each region may be implemented. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3A, the first conveying mechanism 50 may include a conveying drive assembly 51 and two mutually parallel conveying chains 52. The conveying driving assembly 51 can drive the two conveying chains 52 to rotate circularly. As an example, the fixing assembly 53 may include hooks 54 (e.g., symmetrically) disposed on the two conveyor chains 52. At this time, in order to be engaged with the hook 54 to fix the bag collecting bag, as shown in fig. 4, the bag collecting bag may be provided with through holes a at both sides of the opening. Thus, the two hooks 54 can secure the bag to the first transfer mechanism 50 by passing through the two perforations A in the bag.

Here, the shape of the hook 54 is not limited. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2A, the hook 54 may be L-shaped. Wherein one end of the long side L1 of the hook 54 may be connected with the conveyor chain 52, and the other end of the long side L1 may be connected with the short side L2 of the hook 54. Meanwhile, the short side L2 of the hook 54 may be disposed in a direction perpendicular to the ground and away from the ground. That is, the opening direction of the hook 54 may be vertically upward. This reduces or prevents the bag from falling off the hook 54 during the transport of the bag by the first transport mechanism 50. Also, during subsequent folding, separation of the bag from the hook 54 is facilitated because the short edge L2 of the hook 54 is oriented vertically upward. In addition, in order to expand the applicable range of the recovery apparatus, the long side L1 of the hook 54 may be telescopically connected to the conveying chain 52. This allows the distance between the two hooks 54 to be adjusted for different sizes of bag, thereby allowing the recycling device to be adapted for recycling of a variety of bag types.

Alternatively, the short side L2 of the L-shaped hook 54 may also be arranged in a direction parallel to the ground and towards the inlet of the recovery device, in order to facilitate the handling by the staff. That is, the opening direction of the hook 54 may be horizontally forward. Therefore, the collecting operation of the bag collecting bag can be facilitated, and the working efficiency is improved. And the bag collecting bag is naturally vertical due to the suspension mode, so that the subsequent bag collecting bag can be unfolded and arranged conveniently.

Further, the fixing assembly 53 may further include a steering driving motor. The steering drive motor here may be a micro motor. The rotating shaft of the steering driving motor may be connected to a short side of the hook 54. When the hook 54 enters the folding area 30, the steering driving motor may drive the short side of the hook 54 to rotate, thereby adjusting its direction to be perpendicular to the ground and away from the ground. Thus, when the bag is folded, the bag can be smoothly placed on the platform, which facilitates the folding and separation of the bag from the hook 54.

It will be appreciated that to prevent the bag from falling off during transport, the steering drive motor may also be adapted to orient the short side of the hook 54 vertically upward as the hook 54 leaves the collection area 10 (e.g., enters the collating area 20).

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5A, the organizing mechanism M may include an inflation mechanism 21 and an inflation line 22. One end of the inflation line 22 may be in communication with the outlet of the inflation mechanism. The other end of the inflation line 22 can move up and down in a direction perpendicular to the ground. Thus, the collected bag J can be parked in a fixed position after entering the staging area 20. The inflation line 22 descends. Then, the inflation mechanism 21 can automatically open the valve to rapidly inflate the bag collecting bag J, so that the bag collecting bag J is rapidly expanded. This allows the bag J to be manipulated into a standard condition, shown in the expanded condition of FIG. 5B. After finishing, the inflation line 22 can be lifted and reset. As an example, in order to improve the efficiency of the bag arranging work, the inflating mechanism 21 may be a high pressure inflating device.

Alternatively, in order to achieve better finishing effect, as shown in fig. 3B, the short side L2 of the hook 54 may be provided with a through hole. The through holes can be communicated up and down to realize ventilation. It will be appreciated that the short side L2 and the long side L1 of the hook 54 may be of unitary or non-unitary construction. For example, the short side L2 may be a hollow tube fixed to the long side L1. Thus, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the inflation line 22 descends, it may be connected to and communicate with the hollow tube (i.e., the through hole on short side L2). And conveying the gas into the bag collecting bag J from the opening of the bag collecting bag J through a hollow pipeline. As can be seen from fig. 4, the bag collecting bag can be further provided with air diffusing holes B. Thus, the gas output by the inflating mechanism 21 can enter the bag from the opening of the bag and flow out from the air diffusing hole B formed on the bag. Therefore, the gas in the bag collecting bag can flow from top to bottom, and the bag collecting bag is quickly expanded. Therefore, the bag collecting bag can be regulated to the standard state by circulating twice.

In some alternative implementations, the collating mechanism M described above may also include a collating drive assembly and at least one set of cleats. Each group splint in at least a set of splint can open and shut under the effect of arrangement drive assembly, and moves up and down along perpendicular to ground direction. Wherein, every splint closure in at least a set of splint, can be located the album of package bag centre gripping in arrangement district between this group's splint. Here, each set of splints may include a splint one and a splint two. After the bag collecting bag is fixed in the arranging area 20, the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are closed to clamp the bag collecting bag and can move from top to bottom along the direction perpendicular to the ground, and therefore the bag collecting bag is orderly processed. After every group splint removed to the below, arrangement drive assembly can drive splint one and open with splint two to from upwards removing down along perpendicular to ground direction, in order to reset and wait for the processing of neatening next time.

Here, the tidying mechanism M may include a set of cleats. The first clamping plate and the second clamping plate can be telescopic clamping plates, so that the sorting requirements of the bag collecting bags with different sizes are met. The first clamping plate and the second clamping plate can be installed on the same side of the first conveying mechanism 50, or can be installed on both sides of the first conveying mechanism 50. Still alternatively, the collating mechanism M may include two sets of cleats. The two sets of clamping plates may be symmetrically or staggered on both sides of the first conveying mechanism 50. Thus, both sides of the bag collecting bag can be simultaneously arranged.

It will be appreciated that at least two rollers 35 may be provided at the inlet of the folding zone 30 to facilitate subsequent folding in order to evacuate excess gas from the bag. As shown in fig. 1, at least two rollers 35 may be disposed vertically symmetrically with respect to the moving direction of the conveyor chain 52. The ordered bag passes through the roller 35 under the driving of the hook. Through the flattening process of the rolling shaft, redundant gas in the bag collecting bag can be discharged, and the whole bag is convenient to fold. To facilitate the passage of the bags, the width of the at least two rollers 35 may be less than the distance between the two conveyor chains 52. So that the hooks can pass from both sides of the roller 35. It should be noted that the at least two rollers 35 may not have a driving assembly. Therefore, the structure of the recovery device can be simplified, and the electric energy consumption of the device can be reduced.

In some embodiments, the folding plates Z may include a first folding plate 31, a second folding plate 32, a third folding plate 33, and a fourth folding plate 34. Here, the shape, size, and arrangement of the folding plate Z around the platform are not limited. As an example, as shown in fig. 6A, the first folding plate 31 and the fourth folding plate 34 may be respectively located at both sides of the platform near the conveyor chain 52, i.e., at upper and lower sides of the platform. And the second folding plate 32 may be located on the side of the platform near the entrance to the retrieval device, i.e., the left side of the platform. The third folding plate 33 may be located in the platform on the side near the exit of the recovery device, i.e. on the right side of the platform. As can be seen from fig. 6A, the first folding panel 31 and the fourth folding panel 34 are located between the second folding panel 32 and the third folding panel 33. Under the action of the folding driving assembly, the four folding plates can sequentially fold four edges of the bag collecting bag (shaded in the figure) on the platform, so as to obtain the folded bag collecting bag shown in fig. 6B.

It will be appreciated that separation of the bag and hook may be achieved during the upward bending of the third folding plate 33. In addition, the third folding plate 33 may be formed with a structure that avoids the fixing component, thereby ensuring smooth folding process.

Alternatively, the folding plate Z may be reused as a platform in order to further simplify the structure of the recycling apparatus. For example, one end of the fourth folding plate 34 (the end near the first folding plate) may be reused as a platform. In addition, in order to meet the folding requirements of the collecting bags with different sizes, different folding plates can be installed manually. Or the folding plate Z may be a telescopic folding plate. The size of each folding plate can be adjusted manually at this time. In order to further improve the degree of automation of the recovery apparatus, the folding plate Z may be a folding plate with an automatic telescopic function. Thus, each folding plate can change its size according to different configuration requirements. Then the bag is folded into different sizes according to the size of the bag.

Further, the folding zone 30 may also be provided with a pressure plate 36 for securing the bag on the platform. As shown in fig. 7A, here the pressure plate 36 may be a pressure bar. The pressure plate 36 may be mounted above the platform by telescoping rods. The press plate 36 may cooperate with a folding plate to effect the folding of the bag.

Specifically, a top press plate 36 is required to assist in pressing the bag pack each time the bottom folding plate is folded, avoiding wobbling during folding. As shown in fig. 7B, the dotted line portion is a movement locus of the platen 36. The pressing plate 36 is sequentially moved to positions corresponding to the first folding plate 31, the second folding plate 32, the third folding plate 33 and the fourth folding plate 34. Note that the change in the movement locus of the platen 36 is also movably arranged based on the size of the bag. After the end of one folding job, the platen 36 may return to the starting point to wait for the next folding job.

Optionally, to facilitate the recycling management of the bag set, the folding area 30 may also be provided with an image capturing device 37, as shown in fig. 1. Image capture device 37 may be used to capture identification information of a bag-in-bag located on the platform. The identification information here may be any information for uniquely representing the bag of the album. As shown in fig. 4, the identification information may be encoded information of the bag.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8, the above-described packing mechanism W may include a packing table 41, a counter, and a packing belt assembly 42. A counter may be used to count the number of (folded) sachets on the packing station 41. Which may be mounted on the baling station 41 or may be provided separately. A baling belt assembly 42 may be provided around the baling station 41 for baling the set number of bags on the baling station 41 into a bale. That is, the strap assembly 42 may be triggered when a bundle condition is met. The strapping band assembly 42 will make one revolution around the circle. After the strapping assembly 42 returns to the starting point, the strapping can begin to retract. When the bag is contracted to a certain degree, the fixing buckle can be punched and the belt can be cut off, thereby completing the packing work.

Optionally, the recycling device may further include a second conveying mechanism (e.g., a conveyor belt) in order to transport the folded pouches to the bagging area 40. One end of the second transport mechanism may be located below the platform and the other end located in the baling region, e.g., the other end may be located above the baling station 41. At the same time, the folding zone 30 may also be provided with a flipping drive assembly connected to the platform. After the bag collecting and packaging bag is folded, the platform can convey the folded bag collecting and packaging bag to the second conveying mechanism under the action of the overturning driving assembly. For example, one side of the platform may be inclined downwardly so that the bag slides down onto the second conveyor under the influence of its own weight.

Further, as shown in fig. 1, a storage container 43 may be placed at the outlet of the recycling device for storing the bundled bag-in-bag. Here, the storage container 43 may include a storage cart. As shown in fig. 9, a retractable drawbar may be mounted (as indicated by the dashed line) on the storage cart. This facilitates handling of the storage container by manual or mechanical means.

Here, the bundling pockets packed in a bundle can be manually placed into the storage container 43. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1, the baling zone 40 may also be provided with a robot 44. The robot 44 may place the bunched collecting bags in the storage container 43. The dashed arrows in fig. 1 indicate the complete process flow of the bag in the recycling apparatus. In addition, as shown in fig. 9, the recovery device may be further provided with a prompt assembly 61. The prompting component 61 can remind through sound or/and light. For example, when the bundling of the bag is completed, the prompting assembly 61 may sound a beep to prompt the staff to place the bundled bag into the storage container 43. For another example, the notification assembly 61 may flash a light when the storage container 43 is full to alert a worker to replace the storage container 43.

It will be appreciated that the robot 44 may be substituted for the second transfer mechanism described above to transfer the folded pouches to the bagging section 40. This simplifies the structure of the recovery device, reduces the cost, and contributes to an increase in the utilization rate of the robot 44.

In some embodiments, as can be seen in FIG. 9, the recovery device may further include a guard door 62, a display screen 63, a scroll wheel 64, a power cord 65, and control buttons 66. As shown in fig. 2A, a guard door 62 may be installed at the entrance of the recycling apparatus. The guard door 62 may be pulled downward to close the access opening when the recovery device is not in use. A display screen 63 may be mounted on the exterior surface of the retrieval device for configuring and displaying information regarding parameters of the retrieval device. Wherein the parameter information may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: folding mode of the collecting bags, the number of the collecting bags in each bundle, the collected number, the residual collected number (namely, the number capable of being received), the number to be folded, the packing state, the number of the packed bundles, the volume of the storage container and the like.

It will be appreciated that for ease of viewing by the operator, display screens 63 may be provided at the inlet and outlet of the recovery device, as shown in figures 2A and 2B, respectively. And the display screen 63 at the entrance can display information such as the number of collected items, the number of remaining collected items, the number of processes to be folded, and the like. And the display screen 63 at the outlet may display, for example, the packing status (packing in or packing completed), the number of bundles packed, etc.

In addition, the roller 64 may be installed at the bottom of the recovery device. This facilitates the movement of the recovery device. And power cord 65 may be connected to a power source to provide power to the recovery device. The control button 66 may control the power on and off state of the recovery device.

With continued reference to fig. 10, a flow 1000 of some embodiments of the control method of the present disclosure is shown. The control method may be used to control the recovery apparatus as described in the above embodiments. The method may comprise the steps of:

step 1001, in response to determining that the bag-in-bag of the collection area is delivered to the collation area, sends a pause signal to the first conveyance mechanism and sends a collation signal to the collation mechanism.

In some embodiments, the first transfer mechanism operates when the recovery device is activated by the operator. The staff can fix the bag to be recovered on the fixing component of the first conveying mechanism from the inlet of the recovery device. In this way, the first transfer mechanism can transport the bag to other zones of the recovery device.

Here, the execution subject of the control method (e.g., the server) may send a pause signal to the first conveyance mechanism in a case where it is determined that the bag in the collection area is conveyed to the sorting area, thereby causing the bag to stay at a fixed position, i.e., a position corresponding to the sorting mechanism (e.g., below the sorting mechanism). And the execution body may send a collation signal to the collation mechanism. At this time, the sorting mechanism can perform unfolding sorting (i.e., sorting) on the bag collecting bags. For a specific unfolding and sorting process, reference may be made to the related description in the above embodiments, and details are not described herein.

In response to determining that collation is complete, an activation signal is sent to the first transport mechanism, step 1002.

In some embodiments, upon determining that the collation of the bag in the collation zone is complete, the execution body may resend the activation signal to the first conveyance mechanism. In this way, the first conveying mechanism can convey the sorted bag to the folding area.

In response to determining that the bag-in-bag is delivered to the platform of the folding zone, a pause signal is sent to the first transport mechanism and a fold signal is sent to the fold drive assembly, step 1003.

In some embodiments, after determining that the bag is delivered to the platform in the folding zone, the executive body may again send a pause signal to the first transfer mechanism, thereby causing the bag to rest on the platform. And the execution body may transmit the folding signal to the folding driving assembly. The folding driving component can drive the folding plate to fold the bag collecting bag. For a specific folding process, reference may be made to the related description in the foregoing embodiments, and details are not described herein again.

Step 1004, in response to determining that the fold is complete, sends a flip signal to the flip drive assembly and an activation signal to the first transport mechanism.

In some embodiments, the executive body may send an inversion signal to the inversion drive assembly upon determining that the bag-in-bag folding is complete. The turnover driving component can drive the platform to convey the bag collecting and packaging to the second conveying mechanism. The second transfer mechanism may transport the folded bag to the baling area. In addition, the execution body may send the start signal to the first conveying mechanism again, thereby conveying the bag-in-bag of the subsequent collating area to the folding area.

It should be noted that the second conveying mechanism may be operated all the time, or may be suspended after each conveyance. In addition, in order to avoid the influence of the suspension of the first conveying mechanism on the recycling process, the sizes of the functional areas can be reasonably designed, so that unnecessary time waste is avoided or reduced, and the operation efficiency of the recycling device is improved. For example, the distance between the arranging area (arranging position) and the folding area (platform) can be integral multiple of the distance between two adjacent hooks (bag collecting bags). Therefore, in the process of folding the bag collecting and packaging in the folding area, the bag collecting and packaging can be unfolded and arranged in the arranging area.

Step 1005, in response to determining that the number of the bag collecting bags in the packing area reaches the set value, sending a packing signal to a packing mechanism.

In some embodiments, upon determining that the number of the bag collecting at the packing area reaches the set value, the execution main body may send a packing signal to the packing mechanism to perform a packing process on the bag collecting at the packing area. For a specific packaging process, reference may be made to the related description in the foregoing embodiments, and details are not described here.

Step 1006, in response to determining that packaging is complete, sending a put signal to the manipulator.

In some embodiments, upon determining that the wrapping is complete, the executive agent may send a placement signal to the manipulator to place the bunched bale bags in the storage container.

Optionally, in case the storage container is full, the execution body may also send a prompt signal to the prompt component to prompt the staff to replace an empty storage container.

The control method can control the recovery device, and realizes automatic arrangement and recovery of the bag collecting bag. Therefore, the recycling treatment process can be completed by replacing manpower, so that the manual workload is reduced, and the recycling efficiency of the bag collecting and packaging bag is improved.
