However, the number of compartments in these recycling bins (such as plastic-glass-metal) or other options), although it may vary depending on the type of packaging material. In general, there is no standard number. Also different types of packaging materials While collected in recycling bins, materials such as batteries and electronic waste are recycled. Recycle bins are not common. This situation prevents the end user (packing the material into the box) thrower) tries to search for the relevant box and wastes time, throws it in the wrong box or it causes problems such as giving up putting the material into the box. Back Another problem in the transformation is that there are people who are not allowed on the plane, especially at airports, and who are inside the plane. These are recycled wastes that contain liquid. liquid inside the end user Do not put a box whose box is suitable for recycling into these recycling bins. All waste intended to be recycled is the liquid contained in it when disposed of. waste cannot be prevented by affecting This again puts the end user right. It has to do with not being able to direct. Another of the most important problems is the last When the user wants to throw away the waste in his hand, there is only plastic, glass and paper around him. If he sees the boxes, especially if he is not conscious enough, he will discard the waste material in his hand as irrelevant. He throws it into one of the boxes. system is explained.

Our system includes glass, paper, plastic, batteries, electronics, composite packaging, metal, organic and other It ensures the separation of all substances other than substances. glass waste glass section (1.1), paper and its derivatives in the paper section (1.2), plastic wastes in the plastic section section (1.3), wastes such as batteries and batteries are transferred to the battery section (1.4), electronic wastes are transferred to the electronic waste section (1.4). to the section (1.5), composite packaging waste to the composite packaging section (1.6), metal waste The metal waste is transferred to the metal section (1.7), and the organic waste is transferred to the organic section (1.8). of these wastes Each of them is introduced to the image processor unit in the system and processed by artificial intelligence. is perceived. The remaining waste that is not detected is transferred to the other waste section (1.9). is being transferred. Liquid and water wastes other than solid wastes are placed separately in the liquid waste bin (2). and the water is discharged into the waste box (3). For example; water in a pet bottle filled with water, water waste is emptied into the box (3) and the plastic to be recycled is transferred to the plastic section. (1.3) is quoted. Here, the term liquid waste refers to all liquid wastes other than water. Contains.

In our invention, the solid waste left by the user in the material area (9) is firstly collected. It is kept in the accumulation area (11). To prevent materials from piling up on top of each other The accumulation area (11) serves as a ramp for Then, in the accumulation area (11) Solid waste is scanned and detected by the image processor. The scanned material in question In the material class previously coded to artificial intelligence, for example; to the material area (9) The left solid waste is a paper and its derivative is sent to the robot arm by the microcontroller. The signal is sent and the robot arm picks up the paper waste and drops it into the paper section (1.2). Here The robot arm moves the solid waste up and down along the separation line (A) in the separation area (10). and makes forward and backward movements. The robot arm in question is equipped with one or more DC, Can control stepper or servo motor. The items left in the material area (9) by the user and the material falling into the accumulation area (11) is detected by the artificial intelligence beforehand. If it is not encoded, it is not recognized by the image processor and this waste occurs in the accumulation area (11). is taken and transferred to the other waste section (1.9).

The occupancy rate of all waste bins in the body will be detected by laser sensors. Thick, Laser sensors placed in certain parts of liquid and water waste boxes It will provide information about occupancy rates and detect solid waste or liquid waste coming to the mouth. It will inform the microcontroller by generating a signal that the box is full.

The microcontroller converts this signal into a data output and communicates with the Wi-Fi module. Showing the occupancy in the system subject to the invention by providing information flow to the server in the center It will direct the personnel to unload the boxes. Solid, liquid and water There will be weight sensors at the bottom of the wastes. These weight sensors are waste A preliminary information about how many points should be assigned to the person who left or emptied It will provide. Namely; The person who sends more grammage of the same waste to the system is more will get more points. Weight sensors will be used to determine this grammage. For example; The weight sensor in the plastic section (1.3), which contains 1 kg of plastic waste, is placed in this box. by detecting the weight of 100 grams of plastic to be added later and sent to the microcontroller. It will send a signal. The microcontroller determines the points to be assigned per gram. It will transfer the data to the phone application via the Wi-Fi module.

The microcontroller can also assign different points for each different item. It will be coded appropriately for its realization. Namely; metal product releaser More points will be assigned to the person than the person who left the plastic product. Therefore, The quality of the material itself will also be important here.

The occupancy rates of solid, liquid and water wastes in our system of the invention are displayed on the digital screen. (6) will be clearly visible. What should the personnel do to empty the waste in the system? By seeing how full the box is, it will empty the full box and check other boxes. It will save time without even looking inside. Here, the battery section (1.4) and The electronic section (1.5) will be separated from the body horizontally by horizontal rails (5).

The remaining solid, liquid and water waste bins are collected vertically via vertical rails (4). will leave. The rails allow the boxes to be separated from the system without requiring much power. It will make it easier. Preferably, there will be wheels under the boxes and they will be connected to the rails. will act as.

Before leaving his/her own waste in the material area (9), the person must first use the phone application. scans the QR code on the digital screen (6) and then transfers the material to the material. leaves it in the field (9). With the waste robot arm falling from the material area (9) to the accumulation area (11) It is taken and left in the relevant waste bin. Depending on the material type and weight of the waste, Points are loaded to the phone application. The points in question are determined by the person It can be converted into cash in the future or through the application in our system. You can shop at stores supported by.

To simplify the process of classifying waste according to type and to display it on a digital screen (6). In order to enable the personnel to understand the waste information more clearly, the wastes are classified as organic, water, type 1. and 2nd type will be separated by the system. Organic waste depending on time Since it will produce bacteria, it will grow ash and cause bad odor.

This leads to the conclusion that organic waste should be reported separately. is giving birth. Water wastes are transferred to the infrastructure system of the building or to the existing wastewater system at the station. It will be transported to the tank and from there to the main tanks in the facility and will be included in the gray water cycle. Type 1 wastes are divided into the organic section (1.8) defined in the system and the other waste section (1.9). It refers to solid wastes in sections other than sent solid wastes. One in other words, type 1 wastes; glass section (1.1), paper section (1.2), plastic section (1.3), battery section (1.4), electronics section (1.5), composite packaging section (1.6) and metal section (1.7). 2nd type wastes are solid wastes sent to the other section (1.9). This Classification of waste will be carried out by the microcontroller.
