The invention relates to an intelligent self-identification pay recycling machine for waste batteries. The intelligent self-identification pay recycling machine for the waste batteries comprises a waste battery intelligent identification module, a waste battery separate collection module, a coin value setting and coin output module and a stepper motor drive and power supply control module, wherein the waste battery separate collection module comprises a battery recycling bin, a battery detection bin and corresponding movable stands; the battery detection bin comprises a bin gate, a bin bottom baffle, insulation width measurement push plates, length measurement push plates, a tip fixing plate and a side edge fixing plate; the bin gate, the bin bottom baffle, the insulation width measurement push plates, the length measurement push plates and the movable stands are respectively provided with a corresponding driving mechanism; corresponding battery channels and quit channels are respectively arranged below two ends or two sides of the battery detection bin; the battery channels are communicated with the interior of the battery recycling bin; the quit channels are communicated with a return exit formed in the outer wall of the battery recycling bin; a control system is used for controlling the movable stands to drive the battery detection bin to move to and be communicated with the battery channels or the quit channels. According to the intelligent self-identification pay recycling machine, whether thrown objects are the batteries or not can be accurately identified; moreover, a certain reward is paid so as to improve the activity of people throwing the waste batteries into the battery recycling bin, and therefore the phenomenon that environmental pollution is caused by the fact that the waste batteries are discarded at will is avoided.
