  • Patent number: 12678829
    Abstract: A beverage bottle sorting mechanism and a sorting and recycling device are provided. The beverage bottle sorting mechanism includes a frame and further includes a first sorting member and a second sorting member mounted side by side on the frame, a driving member is further provided on the frame, and the driving member is connected to the first sorting member and the second sorting member by transmission for driving the first and second sorting members to rotate and execute first, second, and third sorting stations. Compared to a conventional sorting mechanism that can shift materials in only two directions for sorting using a single sorting plate, the utility model can adjust three sorting stations, achieve three sorting positions in the middle and on the left and right sides of two sorting members, and shift three types of beverage bottles to different positions according to recognition results of the previous process.

  • Publication number: 20260131360
    Abstract: Provided is a beverage container sorting and recycling device, comprising a bottle feeding port, a conveying mechanism, an AI recognition mechanism, a sorting mechanism, and a material storage bin. The AI recognition mechanism is arranged on the periphery of the conveying mechanism, and a light source is further arranged on the periphery of the AI recognition mechanism. The sorting mechanism is mounted on one side of the conveying mechanism. The material storage bin comprises a glass bottle material storage bin, a plastic bottle material storage bin, and a can material storage bin. The sorting mechanism sorts a beverage container to a corresponding material storage bin according to the recognition result of the AI recognition mechanism. The device can achieve more accurate classification and storage of containers, improve recycling rate, and alleviate environmental pressure.
