Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste paper collection equipment technology, and in particular to a waste paper collection machine. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional waste paper collectors typically use an open cylinder as their collection bin, simply inserted into the collector's casing. Waste paper is shredded by a shredder on the machine's cover and falls into the collection bin below. However, because the shredded paper settles in the bin solely by gravity, it's not dense enough, resulting in a limited capacity. The bin easily fills up, hindering subsequent shredding and loading. Furthermore, the bin's contents can only be determined by opening the machine's cover, making it difficult to promptly detect and empty a full bin, thus impacting normal operation. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a waste paper collection machine to solve the problems existing in the prior art, which can improve the density of waste paper collection, increase the collection volume, and make it easy to know the filling volume of the waste paper collection bin for timely cleaning.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution:
[0005] This utility model provides a waste paper collector, including a housing, a waste paper collection bin, and a waste paper pushing and compacting mechanism. A partition is provided inside the housing, dividing the inner cavity of the housing into a first cavity and a second cavity. The lower end of the partition has a through hole connecting the first cavity and the second cavity. The waste paper collection bin is disposed in the second cavity, and the lower end of the side wall of the waste paper collection bin has a waste paper inlet corresponding to the through hole. The waste paper pushing and compacting mechanism is installed at the bottom of the first cavity and located on one side of the through hole. The waste paper pushing and compacting mechanism includes a rotating shaft and multiple pushing plates fixedly connected circumferentially to the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is driven to rotate by a driving device. The pushing plates, driven by the rotating shaft, can push waste paper to the through hole.
[0006] An electronic scale is installed at the bottom of the housing, and a control display screen electrically connected to the electronic scale is installed on the housing.
[0007] In one embodiment, the waste paper collection bin contains a waste paper collection bag, the opening of the waste paper collection bag is provided with a tie that can be used to tighten the opening, and an annular protrusion is provided around the waste paper inlet. The opening of the waste paper collection bag is fitted around the annular protrusion by the tie.
[0008] In one embodiment, a pick-up and drop-out port is provided on one side of the second cavity, and an openable and closable switch door is installed at the pick-up and drop-out port.
[0009] In one embodiment, two positioning blocks are provided on the inner sidewall of the second cavity, and two insertion positioning strips are provided on the outer sidewall of the waste paper collection bin. The two insertion positioning strips are inserted between the two positioning blocks, and the outer distance between the two insertion positioning strips is equal to the inner distance between the two positioning blocks. When the waste paper collection bin is inserted between the two positioning blocks through the insertion positioning strips, and the waste paper collection bin abuts against the sidewall of the housing facing the loading / unloading port, the waste paper inlet is aligned with the through hole.
[0010] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the switch panel is provided with a handle.
[0011] In one embodiment, a protective cover is rotatably connected to the top of the housing.
[0012] In one embodiment, the inner bottom of the first cavity is provided with an arc-shaped base plate, which is coaxially arranged with the rotation axis; a brush is fixedly connected to one radially outward end of the push plate, and the brush can contact the arc-shaped base plate when rotating.
[0013] In one embodiment, a plurality of elastic tabs are provided at the through hole along the circumferential direction. Each elastic tab seals the through hole. Under the push of the waste paper pushing and compacting mechanism, the waste paper can squeeze the elastic tabs, causing the elastic tabs to deflect towards the second cavity.
[0014] In one embodiment, the control display screen is a touch screen, and the touch screen is electrically connected to the driving device.
[0015] In one embodiment, a guide plate is provided in the first cavity, the top of the guide plate is connected to the partition, and the guide plate is inclined downward from top to bottom and forms an acute angle with the partition.
[0016] The present invention achieves the following technical advantages over the prior art:
[0017] The waste paper collector provided by this utility model uses a drive device to drive a rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft drives a pusher plate to rotate, thereby pushing the waste paper in the first chamber to the through hole. The waste paper is then fed into the waste paper collection bin through the waste paper inlet. Under the push of the pusher plate, not only can the waste paper be fed into the waste paper collection bin, but it can also squeeze the waste paper, thereby increasing the density of the waste paper collected in the waste paper collection bin and increasing the collection volume. The electronic scale at the bottom of the housing can measure the weight of the collected waste paper in real time and display it on the control display screen, so that personnel can know the amount of waste paper in the waste paper collection bin and clean it in time to avoid the waste paper collection bin being overloaded and affecting normal use.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] The purpose of this invention is to provide a waste paper collection machine to solve the problems existing in the prior art, which can improve the density of waste paper collection, increase the collection volume, and make it easy to know the filling volume of the waste paper collection bin for timely cleaning.
[0029] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0030] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a waste paper collector, including a housing 1, a waste paper collection bin 2, and a waste paper pushing and compacting mechanism. A partition 3 is provided inside the housing 1, dividing the inner cavity of the housing 1 into a first cavity 4 and a second cavity 5. The lower end of the partition 3 has a through hole 6 connecting the first cavity 4 and the second cavity 5. The waste paper collection bin 2 is disposed in the second cavity 5. The lower end of the side wall of the waste paper collection bin 2 has a waste paper inlet 7 corresponding to the through hole 6. The waste paper pushing and compacting mechanism is installed at the bottom of the first cavity 4 and located on one side of the through hole 6. The waste paper pushing and compacting mechanism includes a rotating shaft 8 and multiple pushing plates 9 fixedly connected circumferentially to the rotating shaft 8. The rotating shaft 8 is driven to rotate by a driving device. The pushing plates 9, driven by the rotating shaft 8, can push waste paper to the through hole 6.
[0031] An electronic scale 10 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1, and a control display screen 11 electrically connected to the electronic scale 10 is provided on the housing 1.
[0032] In use, waste paper is inserted into the first chamber 4 through the top inlet. The drive device drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the pusher plate 9 to rotate clockwise, thus pushing the waste paper in the first chamber 4 to the through hole 6. Through the through hole 6, the waste paper is fed into the waste paper collection bin 2 through the waste paper inlet 7. Under the push of the pusher plate 9, not only is the waste paper fed into the waste paper collection bin 2, but it also has a squeezing effect on the waste paper, thereby increasing the density of the waste paper collected in the waste paper collection bin 2 and increasing the collection volume. The electronic scale 10 at the bottom of the housing 1 can measure the weight of the collected waste paper in real time. It can be set to zero when empty. As more waste paper is collected, the total weight of the collected waste paper is measured in real time and displayed on the control display screen, so that the user can know the amount of waste paper in the waste paper collection bin 2 (i.e., the weight measured by the electronic scale 10) and clean it in time to avoid the waste paper collection bin 2 being full and affecting normal use.
[0033] In this embodiment, a waste paper collection bin 2 contains a waste paper collection bag 12. The opening of the waste paper collection bag 12 is secured with a cable tie 13. An annular protrusion 14 surrounds the waste paper inlet 7. The opening of the waste paper collection bag 12 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the annular protrusion 14 via the cable tie 13. After the bin is full, the cable tie 13 is removed from the annular protrusion 14, and the opening of the waste paper collection bag 12 is secured with the cable tie 13. Then, the waste paper collection bin 2 is removed, and the waste paper collection bag 12 is taken out. When replacing a new waste paper collection bag 12, the bag body of the waste paper collection bag 12 is inserted into the waste paper collection bin 2, and the opening of the waste paper collection bag 12 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the annular protrusion 14 via the cable tie 13 and pre-tightened to prevent the opening from detaching from the annular protrusion 14 during use. Then, the waste paper collection bin 2 is reinstalled.
[0034] In this embodiment, a pick-up / placement port 15 is provided on one side of the second cavity 5, and an openable switch panel 16 is installed at the pick-up / placement port 15. When picking up or placing the waste paper collection bin 2, the switch panel 16 is opened, and the waste paper collection bin 2 is taken out or placed through the pick-up / placement port 15.
[0035] In this embodiment, two positioning blocks 17 are provided on the inner sidewall of the second cavity 5, and two insertion positioning strips 18 are provided on the outer sidewall of the waste paper collection bin 2. The two insertion positioning strips 18 are inserted between the two positioning blocks 17, and the outer distance between the two insertion positioning strips 18 is equal to the inner distance between the two positioning blocks 17. When the waste paper collection bin 2 is inserted between the two positioning blocks 17 through the insertion positioning strips 18, and the waste paper collection bin 2 abuts against the sidewall of the housing 1 facing the loading / unloading port 15, the waste paper inlet 7 is aligned with the through hole 6. Through the insertion positioning structure, the installation and positioning of the waste paper collection bin 2 can be conveniently and quickly realized, improving the installation and replacement efficiency.
[0036] In this embodiment, a handle 19 is provided on the outer surface of the switch door panel 16, which is convenient to use as the door panel 16 can be opened and closed by holding the handle 19.
[0037] In this embodiment, a protective cover 20 is rotatably connected to the top of the housing 1. In use, the protective cover 20 is lifted upwards, and then waste paper is put into the first cavity 4. When not in use, the protective cover 20 can form a protective barrier on the top entrance of the first cavity 4 to prevent other debris from entering the first cavity 4.
[0038] In this embodiment, the inner bottom of the first cavity 4 is provided with an arc-shaped bottom plate 21, which is coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft 8. A brush 22 is fixedly connected to one radially outward end of the push plate 9. When rotating, the brush 22 can contact the arc-shaped bottom plate 21, which can better push the waste paper at the bottom into the waste paper collection bin 2.
[0039] like Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, multiple elastic paddles 24 are provided along the circumferential direction at the through hole 6. The elastic paddles 24 are fan-shaped, and each elastic paddle 24 seals the through hole 6. Under the push of the waste paper pushing and compacting mechanism, the waste paper can squeeze the elastic paddles 24 to make the elastic paddles 24 deflect towards the second cavity 4, so that the waste paper can be pushed into the waste paper collection bag 12. In addition, the elastic paddles 24 can also prevent the waste paper from returning to the first cavity 4 to a certain extent.
[0040] In this embodiment, the control display screen 11 is a touch screen, which is electrically connected to the driving device, which is a motor. The motor can be controlled via the touch screen to achieve the rotation and pushing of the push plate 9. It should be noted that a battery can be configured in this device to provide power. The battery can be a rechargeable battery, or a power cord can be provided to connect to a power source (such as a socket) to achieve power supply.
[0041] In this embodiment, a guide plate 23 is provided in the first cavity 4. The top of the guide plate 23 is connected to the partition 3. The guide plate 23 is inclined downward from top to bottom and forms an acute angle with the partition 3. The guide plate 23 can guide the put-in waste paper to the upper right of the rotating shaft 8, thereby pushing the waste paper into the waste paper collection bin 2 more quickly through the push plate 9.
