Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building construction equipment technology, and in particular to a flat roof surface layer removal and waste recycling device. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction industry, rooftop waterproofing and insulation layers can become damaged after prolonged use, leading to a loss of their waterproofing and insulation properties. This necessitates the removal and replacement of the old layers. Currently, roof removal in China primarily relies on manual methods. Workers directly remove and recycle the old roof material using electric drills or shovels. This method is inefficient, and the waste generated from manual removal is directly piled up in the open environment, susceptible to dust, scattering, or falling debris due to wind and rain, causing environmental pollution and posing a safety hazard of falling objects.

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to design a flat roof surface layer removal and waste recycling device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flat roof surface layer removal and waste recycling device that can be quickly and efficiently removed and recycled from flat roofs by a single person or through program control, significantly improving the safety and efficiency of roof removal operations, while also solving the problem of preliminary recycling of waste after removal.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides a flat roof surface layer removal and waste recycling device, comprising:

[0006] The vehicle body has an internal storage space, and the front side panel of the vehicle body is designed to open and close.

[0007] A shovel-and-carry device, disposed within the accommodating space, includes a front shovel for shoveling waste and a conveyor for transporting waste. Both the front shovel and the conveyor are telescopic. When the front shovel and the conveyor are in the extended state, they together form a shovel-and-carry structure. The front shovel, as an extension of the conveyor, allows waste to be transported to the conveyor via the front shovel during vehicle movement. When the front shovel and the conveyor are in the retracted state, they form a retractable structure, allowing the front shovel and the conveyor to be stored within the accommodating space. The shovel-and-carry device also includes a vibration structure that provides vibration force to the front shovel.

[0008] Waste storage containers, located within the containment space, are used to store waste transported by the conveyor.

[0009] The control module is used to control the movement of the vehicle body and the shoveling operation of the shoveling device.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the shovel transport device further includes a front shovel telescopic structure for adjusting the extension and retraction states of the front shovel, and a conveyor telescopic structure for adjusting the extension and retraction states of the conveyor section. The conveyor telescopic structure includes a first rod arranged at an inclination and a second rod that can slide relative to the first rod. The conveyor belt is adjusted between the extension and retraction states by moving the second rod.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the vibration structure is sleeved on the second rod, so that the vibration structure can move relative to the first rod as the second rod moves.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the conveying unit includes a first conveying shaft and a second conveying shaft arranged at intervals, and a conveyor belt arranged around the two conveying shafts, wherein the first conveying shaft is arranged close to the front shovel and is connected to the end of the second rod away from the first rod.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, a sliding roller is provided between the first conveying shaft and the second conveying shaft.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, a vertical support member is provided at one end of the front shovel near the conveyor section, so that when the front shovel and the conveyor belt are in an extended state, the vertical support member provides vertical support force for the front shovel and the conveyor belt, and a roller is provided at the lower end of the vertical support member.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, in the extended state, the angle between the front shovel and the horizontal plane is 20°-30° in the opposite direction to the vehicle body's movement.

[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention, the side of the vehicle body is provided with a hinge structure for cleaning waste storage containers.

[0017] As a further improvement of the present invention, a capacity monitoring device is provided above the waste storage container.

[0018] As a further improvement of the present invention, the control module includes a program control hub module that can control the position and shoveling posture of the flat roof surface removal and waste recycling equipment via buttons or a remote control terminal.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0020] 1. This invention enables the shovel to reach deep beneath the waste during forward movement, shoveling and transporting the waste. In addition to shoveling, the front shovel also serves as an extension of the conveyor belt, forming a waste transport structure with the conveyor belt. Under the forward thrust, the waste is transported from the front shovel onto the conveyor belt, and then quickly and stably transported to the waste collection bin, efficiently completing the waste recycling process.

[0021] 2. By setting up a vibration structure, the present invention can insert the front shovel below the surface layer. Combined with the thrust of the vehicle moving forward and the vibration force provided by the vibration structure, the waste part contacted by the front shovel is separated from its original overall structure. The front shovel is then used to carry the shoveled waste out, thus quickly and stably completing the removal work.

[0022] 3. This invention utilizes a front shovel and a conveyor belt for surface layer removal and recycling operations, and features a separate design. On one hand, both the front shovel and the conveyor belt can be designed to be telescopic, forming a shoveling structure in the extended state and a retractable structure in the retracted state. This allows for surface layer removal and recycling operations using the shoveling state, while the retractable structure allows for storage inside the vehicle body, facilitating the movement of the entire structure. On the other hand, the front shovel can be designed with vibration, improving waste removal efficiency through vibration while reducing the impact of vibration force on the conveyor belt operation. This enables simultaneous removal and conveying, efficiently completing the removal and recycling of flat roof surface layers. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Additionally, it should be noted that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0033] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a flat roof surface layer removal and waste recycling device, comprising:

[0034] The vehicle body 10 has an internal storage space, and the front panel 11 of the vehicle body 10 is designed to open and close.

[0035] The shovel and conveyor device, installed within the accommodating space, includes a front shovel 50 for shoveling waste and a conveyor unit for transporting waste. Both the front shovel 50 and the conveyor unit are telescopic. When the front shovel 50 and the conveyor unit are in the extended state, they together form a shovel and conveyor structure. The front shovel 50 serves as an extension of the conveyor unit, allowing waste to be transported to the conveyor unit via the front shovel 50 during the forward movement of the vehicle body 10. When the front shovel 50 and the conveyor unit are in the retracted state, they form a retractable structure, allowing the front shovel 50 and the conveyor unit to be stored within the accommodating space. The shovel and conveyor device also includes a vibration structure 41 that provides vibration force to the front shovel 50.

[0036] Waste storage container 70, located within the containment space, is disposed at the end of the conveyor section away from the front shovel 50, and is used to store waste conveyed by the conveyor belt 21.

[0037] The control module is used to control the movement of the vehicle body 10 and the shoveling operation of the shoveling device.

[0038] Specifically, the bottom of the vehicle body 10 is equipped with an electrical compartment 14 for power supply to the equipment. In terms of external structure, the vehicle body 10 itself is made of lightweight and structurally stable metal material. Its size and shape meet the requirements of ergonomic design and can meet the requirements of building fire protection codes for minimum size and maximum weight of fire elevators, as well as the requirements for the width of stair flights and the height of stair steps of standard fire evacuation stairs.

[0039] Specifically, the front shovel 50 and the conveyor unit are designed separately. The front shovel 50 is adjusted to be in an extended or retracted state through a front shovel telescopic structure, and the conveyor unit is adjusted to be in an extended or retracted state through a conveyor telescopic structure. When shoveling and transporting operations are required, the front shovel 50 and the conveyor unit are in an extended state under the control of the telescopic structure. At this time, the front shovel 50, as an extension of the conveyor unit, forms an inclined shoveling and transporting structure together with the conveyor unit. The front shovel 50 and part of the conveyor unit extend to the ground through the open front side plate 11 of the vehicle body 10. When the vehicle body 10 moves forward, the waste shoveled by the front shovel 50 can move along the front shovel 50 to the conveyor unit under the forward propulsion force, and then be conveyed to the waste storage container 70 for temporary storage under the conveying action of the conveyor unit.

[0040] Specifically, the front shovel telescopic structure and the conveyor telescopic structure can be designed to perform telescopic adjustment under different driving forces, or they can be designed to cooperate structurally so that the telescopic adjustment of the front shovel 50 and the conveyor section is completed synchronously under the same driving force. For example, the conveyor telescopic structure includes an inclined first rod 31 and a second rod 32 that can slide relative to the first rod 31. The movement of the second rod 32 adjusts the conveyor belt 21 between an extended state and a retracted state. In this embodiment, the diameter of the second rod 32 is larger than the diameter of the first rod 31. Under the driving force, the second rod 32 can move away from and towards the first rod 31, adjusting the conveyor belt 21 between an extended state and a retracted state.

[0041] Specifically, the front shovel telescopic structure includes a horizontal slide rail 62 located at the bottom of the vehicle body 10 and a third rod 61 with one end sliding on the horizontal slide rail 62. One end of the front shovel 50 is connected to the second rod 32, and the middle of the front shovel 50 is connected to the end of the third rod 61 away from the horizontal slide rail 62. Under the action of driving force, when the second rod 32 moves, it drives the front shovel 50 to move. At this time, the movement of the front shovel 50 will drive the third rod 61 to move on the horizontal slide rail 62. When the front shovel 50 is in the extended state, the third rod 61 slides to the end of the horizontal slide rail 62 away from the inside of the vehicle body 10. When the front shovel 50 is in the retracted state, the third rod 61 slides to the end of the horizontal slide rail 62 closer to the inside of the vehicle body 10. Thus, the telescopic adjustment of the front shovel 50 is completed through the cooperation of the third rod 61 and the second rod 32. The two front shovel telescopic structures are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the front shovel 50.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the vibration structure 41 is sleeved on the second rod 32, located at the end of the second rod 32 near the first rod 31. The first rod 31 is provided with a moving track 42 with the same inclination angle as the first rod 31 on the side near the inner wall of the vehicle body 10. The vibration structure 41 is connected to the moving track 42. When the second rod 32 moves relative to the first rod 31, it will drive the vibration structure 41 to move on the moving track 42. During vibration operation, the vibration structure 41 is moved by the partial movement of the second rod 32, thereby providing vibration force to the front shovel 50. In particular, the partial movement of the second rod 32 will not have a significant impact on the conveyor belt 21. When the vibration structure 41 vibrates, the conveyor belt 21 can still maintain a basically stable operation. After the front shovel 50 is inserted below the surface layer, under the thrust of the vehicle body 10 moving forward and the vibration force provided by the vibration structure 41, the waste part contacted by the front shovel 50 separates from its original overall structure. At the same time, the front shovel 50 carries out the shoveled waste, quickly and stably completing the removal work.

[0043] Specifically, during the shoveling and transporting process, the second rod 32 not only provides support for the front shovel 50 but also provides forward propulsion for it. For the conveyor belt 21, the second rod 32 mainly serves as a support member, working together with the vertical support member 63 to support one end of the conveyor belt 21. In this embodiment, the vibration structure 41 is a hydraulic vibrator. When a vibration force is provided, the front shovel 50 experiences significant vibration, while the vibration experienced by the conveyor belt 21 is relatively small. This improves the shoveling effect while reducing the impact of the vibration force on the conveyor belt 21's transport operation, allowing shoveling and transport to proceed simultaneously and efficiently completing the shoveling and recycling of the flat roof surface layer.

[0044] Specifically, a vertical support member 63 is provided at one end of the front shovel 50 near the conveyor section, so that when the front shovel 50 and the conveyor belt 21 are in the extended state, the vertical support member 63 provides vertical support force for the front shovel 50 and the conveyor belt 21, and a roller is also provided at the lower end of the vertical support member 63.

[0045] Specifically, in the extended state, the angle between the front shovel 50 and the horizontal plane is 20°-30° in the opposite direction to the vehicle's movement. This is to prevent the waste from being unable to move to the conveyor under the forward thrust due to an excessively large tilt angle, and to prevent some waste from falling down the slope to the flat layer when moving on the inclined surface of the front shovel 50. At the same time, it is to prevent the front shovel 50 from having too little force to dig into the flat layer or waste due to an excessively small tilt angle, which would affect the shoveling effect.

[0046] Specifically, the conveying unit includes a first conveying shaft 22 and a second conveying shaft 23 spaced apart, and a conveyor belt 21 arranged around the first and second conveying shafts 22 and 23. A support frame 25 is provided above the waste storage container 70, and the second conveying shaft 23 is fixed on the support frame 25. Two conveying telescopic structures are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 21, and the first conveying shaft 22 is located near the front shovel 50 and connected to the end of the second rod 32 away from the first rod 31 by a roller. In this embodiment, a sliding roller 24 is also provided between the first and second conveying shafts 22 and 23. The sliding roller 24 is located near the second conveying shaft 23 and fixed on the support frame 25. The sliding roller 24 divides the conveyor belt 21 into an inclined section and a horizontal section. The waste storage container 70 is located below the end of the horizontal section away from the inclined section, which facilitates the transport of waste from the inclined section to the horizontal section and its subsequent fall into the waste storage container 70.

[0047] Specifically, the side of the vehicle body 10 is provided with a hinge structure 12 for cleaning the waste storage container 70, and a capacity monitoring device is provided above the waste storage container 70. In this embodiment, the capacity monitoring device is a first camera 71, which judges the waste storage status in the waste storage container 70 by transmitting images back to the control module in real time. When the storage space in the container is insufficient, the waste in the container is replaced or cleaned in time. For example, wear-resistant packaging bags can be placed in the container in advance to facilitate waste cleaning.

[0048] Specifically, the control module includes a program control hub module 80 that controls the position and shoveling posture of the roof surface removal and waste recycling equipment via buttons or a remote control terminal. In this embodiment, the program control hub module 80 is located on the upper rear side of the vehicle body 10, and includes a control center and a command area 81. The command area 81 includes direction control buttons, a central control display screen, buttons to extend / retract the front side panel, buttons to extend / retract the front shovel, buttons to start / stop vibration, buttons to start / stop shoveling, buttons to start / stop conveying, and a main power switch button. A second camera is installed at the front of the vehicle body 10, and the image detected by the second camera is displayed on the central control display screen, which facilitates the operator to determine whether the equipment has reached the designated area during on-site operation. A trajectory controller is also installed at the rear of the vehicle body 10. In this embodiment, the trajectory controller is a steering wheel 82, which can control the movement direction and trajectory of the equipment by rotating the steering wheel 82.

[0049] Specifically, the bottom sides of the vehicle body 10 have an eight-wheeled mobile structure 13 that can go up and down stairs, enabling the vehicle body 10 to go up and down stairs even in situations where there are no vertical transportation systems or other limitations.

[0050] Specifically, the front scraper 50 can be customized or replaced according to the actual size required at the construction site. For example, when encountering a surface layer that needs to be removed only after high-temperature treatment, a heated soldering iron front scraper replacement part can be used to improve the removal effect.

[0051] The working principle of the flat roof surface layer removal and waste recycling equipment of the present invention will be explained below.

[0052] During operation, the front shovel 50 and conveyor belt 21 are extended, and the vehicle body 10 is controlled to move forward. The front shovel 50 removes the surface layer under the forward thrust. When encountering difficult-to-remove parts, the vibration structure 41 is activated. The vibration force provided by the vibration structure 41 and the forward thrust are used to remove the surface layer. During the forward movement of the vehicle body 10, the old and discarded bricks on the roof and the surface layer fragments removed are moved up the inclined surface of the front shovel 50 to the position of the conveyor belt 21. The conveyor belt 21 then transports the old and discarded bricks and surface layer fragments to the waste storage container 70 for temporary storage. The waste storage situation is observed through the first camera 71, and the waste in the waste storage container 70 is cleaned in a timely manner. After the removal work is completed, the front shovel 50 and conveyor belt 21 are retracted to facilitate the movement of the equipment to the predetermined position.

[0053] During the removal operation, the operator can operate the steering wheel 82 and the command area 81 on site, or remotely control the removal operation after connecting to the flat roof surface removal and waste recycling equipment through the local Internet of Things and mobile terminal devices.

[0054] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
