Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of waste collection, and in particular to a collector for kitchen waste and waste oil. Background Technology

[0002] Food waste mainly consists of household waste generated during daily consumption and is the most significant type of food waste. It includes food processing scraps (kitchen waste) and leftover food (swill) from households, schools, canteens, and the catering industry. Food waste collection is primarily concentrated among businesses with stable storefronts. Businesses can set up collection bins for sorting and collection, and then garbage trucks will collect it from their premises at set times each day.

[0003] However, for street vendors, their stall locations are not fixed, making it difficult for them to set up their own trash cans to collect garbage and wait for collection trucks. Furthermore, food waste is mainly a mixture of waste oil, water, fruit peels, vegetables, rice, noodles, fish, meat, bones, as well as discarded tableware, plastics, paper towels, and other materials. It is highly perishable, emitting foul odors and spreading bacteria and viruses. When food waste from street vendors is collected through roadside trash cans, the mixed waste easily impacts the surrounding environment. Therefore, there is no effective method for collecting and disposing of food waste and waste oil generated by mobile vendors. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to improve the problem that there is still no effective collection and treatment of kitchen waste and waste oil, this application provides a kitchen waste and waste oil collector.

[0005] This application provides a collector for kitchen waste and waste oil, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A food waste and waste oil collector, including

[0007] The housing has an installation cavity, and the housing is provided with a partition plate located in the installation cavity, the partition plate dividing the installation cavity into a first installation cavity and a second installation cavity;

[0008] The housing is provided with a collection funnel located in the first mounting cavity, and a filter basket located in the second mounting cavity. The housing is also provided with a limiting plate that restricts the collection funnel and the filter basket from detaching from the mounting cavity.

[0009] A food waste bin is placed in the first mounting cavity, and the food waste bin is located directly below the collection funnel;

[0010] A waste oil recycling bin is placed in the second mounting cavity, and the waste oil recycling bin is located directly below the filter basket.

[0011] The box body is hinged to a sealing door for sealing the second mounting cavity, and the box body is hinged to a movable crossbar for preventing the kitchen waste bin from detaching from the first mounting cavity. The box body is provided with locks for locking the sealing door and the movable crossbar respectively.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the container is fixed at the gathering place of mobile vendors. At this time, the mobile vendors put solid waste into the kitchen waste bin through the collection funnel, and oil and liquid waste enter the waste oil recycling bin after passing through the filter basket. Finally, the garbage truck collects the garbage in the kitchen waste bin and the waste oil recycling bin separately, which helps to improve the problem that kitchen waste and waste oil still do not have a relatively effective collection and treatment.

[0013] Optionally, the filter basket is hinged to the partition plate, and the filter basket can be flipped up to cover the top of the collection funnel.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to recycle solid waste in the filter basket.

[0015] Optionally, the housing is hinged with a cover plate for sealing the top opening of the second mounting cavity.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover plate seals the opening of the second installation cavity, reducing the possibility of solid waste entering the filter basket before the recycling of grease and liquid waste.

[0017] Optionally, a connecting seat is provided on the top of the housing, a connecting groove is formed on the top of the connecting seat, and a first connecting hole and a second connecting hole are formed on the connecting seat at an angle and symmetrically. The first connecting hole communicates with the first mounting cavity, and the second connecting hole communicates with the second mounting cavity.

[0018] The connecting seat is provided with a separation box that slides up and down in the connecting groove, and the separation box forms a separation groove with an open top.

[0019] The bottom of the separation box has a discharge port that corresponds to and is connected to the first connection hole, and the bottom of the separation box has a filter hole that corresponds to and is connected to the second connection hole.

[0020] The bottom of the separation box is provided with a connecting plate that slides up and down on the connecting seat, and the connecting plate divides the connecting groove;

[0021] The connecting seat is provided with an elastic driving member, which drives the connecting plate to move toward the top opening of the connecting groove.

[0022] The separation box is hinged to an intercepting plate corresponding to the discharge port. The connecting plate is equipped with a control component. When the separation box is close to the top opening of the connecting groove, the control component controls the intercepting plate to block the discharge port.

[0023] When the separation box moves downwards until the discharge port is aligned and connected to the first connecting hole, the control component controls the interceptor plate to flip and open the discharge port.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, grease and liquid waste are filtered through the filter holes and collected in the waste grease recycling bin, while solid waste is discharged from the separation box through the discharge port and enters the kitchen waste bin. There is no need to separate them in advance, which makes it convenient to recycle waste.

[0025] Optionally, the control assembly includes a control bar, a control rope, a control spring, and a control column;

[0026] The control column is slidably connected to the connecting plate, and the control spring drives the control column to protrude outside the connecting plate. When the intercepting plate blocks the discharge port, the control column abuts against the side of the intercepting plate away from the discharge port.

[0027] The control bar is disposed on the connecting seat, and the connecting plate has a control groove for the control bar to slide up and down.

[0028] The control rope is slidably threaded through the connecting plate, with one end of the control rope connected to the end of the control column and the other end passing through the control groove and connected to the side wall of the control groove;

[0029] When the control bar is inserted into the control slot, the control rope is pulled into the control slot, and at this time the control rope pulls the control column into the connecting plate;

[0030] When the control bar disengages from the control slot, the control column pushes the interceptor plate to flip towards the discharge port.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the control spring pushes the control bar to protrude outside the connecting plate, so that the control column pushes the intercepting plate to flip upward and block the discharge port; the control bar pulls the control rope, so that the control rope drives the control column away from the intercepting plate, so that the intercepting plate can flip away from the discharge port.

[0032] Optionally, the sidewall of the connecting plate is slidably provided with sliding teeth, and the sidewall of the control groove is provided with supporting teeth, with multiple supporting teeth evenly arranged vertically.

[0033] When the connecting plate slides downward, the sliding tooth slides on the supporting tooth;

[0034] When the connecting plate slides upward, the supporting tooth provides one-way support to the sliding tooth;

[0035] The separation box is equipped with a power torsion spring. When the waste in the separation box is discharged, the power torsion spring drives the interceptor plate to block the discharge port.

[0036] The connecting plate is provided with a driving component. When the intercepting plate flips to block the discharge port, the driving component drives the sliding tooth away from the supporting tooth.

[0037] The connecting seat is provided with a power component. When the control bar disengages from the control slot, the power component drives the sliding tooth to be directly above the support tooth.

[0038] By adopting the above technical solution, the supporting teeth support the sliding teeth, which helps to maintain the state of the separation box and facilitates the discharge of solid waste through the discharge port.

[0039] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a power screw, a power belt, a power sleeve, a first one-way tooth, a second one-way tooth, a first connecting tooth, and a second connecting tooth;

[0040] The separation box is rotatably provided with a hinge shaft, the interceptor plate is disposed on the hinge shaft, the power sleeve is sleeved on the hinge shaft, and the separation box forms a power groove for the power sleeve to rotate.

[0041] The first one-way tooth is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the hinge shaft, and the first connecting tooth is uniformly disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the power sleeve along the circumferential direction. The first one-way tooth meshes with the first connecting tooth.

[0042] The second one-way tooth is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the power sleeve, and the second connecting tooth is evenly disposed on the inner wall of the peripheral side of the power groove along the circumferential direction. The second one-way tooth meshes with the second connecting tooth.

[0043] When the interceptor plate flips away from the discharge port, the first one-way tooth slides on the first connecting tooth, and the first connecting tooth supports the first one-way tooth in one direction.

[0044] When the interceptor plate flips and approaches the discharge port, the first one-way tooth slides on the first connecting tooth, and the first connecting tooth supports the first one-way tooth in one direction.

[0045] The power screw is rotatably connected to the connecting plate, the sliding tooth is threadedly connected to the power screw, and the power belt is connected end to end and linked to the power sleeve and the power screw.

[0046] By adopting the above technical solution, when the interceptor plate flips to block the discharge port, the power belt drives the power screw to rotate. At this time, the sliding teeth move away from the support teeth, allowing the separation box to move upward. As the separation box approaches the opening of the connecting groove, the power component drives the power screw to reverse, which helps the sliding teeth move to directly above the support teeth.

[0047] Optionally, the power assembly includes a power gear and a power rack;

[0048] The power gear is disposed on the outer periphery of the power lead screw, and the power rack is disposed on the connecting seat;

[0049] When the separation box approaches the opening of the connecting groove, the power gear meshes with the power rack, and at this time the power screw rotates, causing the sliding tooth to slide directly above the support tooth.

[0050] By adopting the above technical solutions, the power gear and power rack have a simple structure and are easy to use.

[0051] Optionally, the elastic driving element is a driving spring, the connecting seat is formed with a groove for the connecting plate to slide up and down, and the driving spring is installed in the groove;

[0052] The top of the drive spring abuts against the connecting plate, and the bottom of the drive spring abuts against the bottom wall of the slide groove.

[0053] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive spring drives the separation box upward and closes to the connecting groove. The drive spring has a simple structure and is easy to use.

[0054] Optionally, the bottom of the separation box is symmetrically and inclined to form a guide portion, the discharge port is formed in the guide portion, and a guide plate is provided on the vertical wall of the separation tank, the guide plate extending downward at an incline to near the filter hole.

[0055] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to discharge solid waste, and at the same time, the guide plate guides the waste to slide into the filter hole, which facilitates the discharge of grease and liquid waste.

[0056] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0057] 1. Solid waste is collected through food waste bins, while grease and liquid waste are collected through waste oil recycling bins. Finally, the waste in the food waste bins and waste oil recycling bins is collected separately by garbage trucks. This helps to improve the problem that food waste and waste oil still do not have a very effective collection and treatment process.

[0058] 2. Oily and liquid waste is filtered through the filter holes and collected in the waste oil recycling bin, while solid waste is discharged from the separation box through the discharge port and enters the kitchen waste bin. No pre-separation is required, making waste recycling convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0068] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-8 This application will be described in further detail.

[0069] This application discloses a food waste and waste oil collector. Example

[0070] See Figure 1 The collector includes a box 1, which is a cuboid structure extending vertically along its length. In use, the box 1 is fixed to the ground or wall of the collection site using expansion bolts.

[0071] A mounting cavity 11 is formed on the vertical side of the housing 1, extending upwards to the outside of the housing 1. A partition plate 12 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, located within the mounting cavity 11. The partition plate 12 has a cuboid structure, and its width direction is parallel to the width direction of the housing 1. The partition plate 12 divides the mounting cavity 11, forming a first mounting cavity 111 and a second mounting cavity 112 that are adjacent to each other.

[0072] The collector also includes a food waste bin 16 and a waste grease recycling bin 17. The food waste bin 16 is located in the first mounting cavity 111 and is used to collect solid food waste. The waste grease recycling bin 17 is placed in the second mounting cavity 112 and is used to collect grease and liquid waste. To facilitate the transportation of the waste grease recycling bin 17, the housing 1 can be fixedly equipped with a support platform located in the second mounting cavity 112, and the waste grease recycling bin 17 is placed on top of the support platform to elevate the waste grease recycling bin 17.

[0073] The container 1 is equipped with a collection funnel 13 and a filter basket 14. The collection funnel 13 is located in the first mounting cavity 111 and is fixedly connected to the container 1. Solid kitchen waste enters the kitchen waste bin 16 through the collection funnel 13. The filter basket 14 is located in the second mounting cavity 112. Grease and liquid waste are filtered through the filter basket 14 and then enter the waste grease recycling bin 17. The filter basket 14 is hinged to the top of the partition plate 12 in the width direction. When the filter basket 14 is flipped over until it covers the top of the collection funnel 13, the solid waste remaining after the grease and liquid waste are filtered can enter the kitchen waste bin 16 through the collection funnel 13.

[0074] A cover plate 2 is hinged to the top of the container 1. The cover plate 2 can be flipped over and placed on top of the container 1, thus sealing the filter basket 14. When collecting waste, the cover plate 2 can be opened. When waste is not being collected, the cover plate 2 seals the filter basket 14, preventing solid waste from entering the filter basket 14. A limiting plate 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the container 1 to prevent the collection funnel 13 and the filter basket 14 from detaching from the installation cavity 11. At the same time, a slogan or sign can be placed on the side of the limiting plate 15 away from the installation cavity 11.

[0075] The container 1 is hinged to a sealing door 18, which can be flipped to seal the second mounting cavity 112. The container 1 is also hinged to a movable crossbar 19, which can be flipped vertically to prevent the food waste bin 16 from detaching from the first mounting cavity 111. The container 1 is also equipped with a lock 21. During waste collection, the sealing door 18 seals the second mounting cavity 112, the movable crossbar 19 restricts the food waste bin 16, and the lock 21 locks both the sealing door 18 and the movable crossbar 19. During collection, the lock 21 is released, and then the sealing door 18 and the movable crossbar 19 are flipped to allow the food waste bin 16 and the waste grease collection bin 17 to be removed for waste collection.

[0076] The implementation principle of the kitchen waste and waste oil collector in Embodiment 1 of this application is as follows:

[0077] When in use, the container 1 is fixed at the gathering place of mobile vendors. At this time, the mobile vendors can put solid waste into the kitchen waste bin 16 through the collection funnel 13, and grease and liquid waste into the waste grease recycling bin 17 after passing through the filter basket 14. Finally, the garbage in the kitchen waste bin 16 and the waste grease recycling bin 17 are collected by garbage truck. Example

[0078] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that: a connecting seat 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1, and a downwardly extending connecting groove 33 is formed on the top of the connecting seat 3. A first connecting hole 31 and a second connecting hole 32 are formed in the connecting seat 3 in an inclined and symmetrical manner. The tops of the first connecting hole 31 and the second connecting hole 32 are connected to the connecting groove 33. The bottom of the first connecting hole 31 is connected to the first mounting cavity 111, and the bottom of the second connecting hole 32 is connected to the second mounting cavity 112.

[0079] The connecting seat 3 is equipped with a separation box 4, which slides up and down within the connecting groove 33. The separation box 4 has a separation groove 41 that extends vertically and extends to the outside of the separation box 4 at its top. The bottom of the separation box 4 has symmetrically formed guide portions 47, one of which has a discharge port 42 that corresponds to and connects to the first connecting hole 31. The other guide portion 47 has a filter hole 43 adjacent to the discharge port 42 and connecting to the second connecting hole 32 and the separation groove 41. A guide plate 48 is fixedly connected to the vertical wall of the separation groove 41. The guide plate 48 is inclined downwards and extends to a position close to the filter hole 43. Waste entering the separation groove 41 is guided to the filter hole 43 by the guide plate 48, facilitating the discharge of grease and liquid waste through the filter hole 43.

[0080] See Figure 3 and Figure 4A connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the separation box 4. The connecting seat 3 forms a vertically extending groove 36, which is located between the first connecting hole 31 and the second connecting hole 32. The connecting plate 5 slides up and down in the groove 36. When the separation box 4 slides towards the opening of the connecting groove 33, the connecting plate 5 divides the connecting groove 33, restricting the grease and liquid filtered by the filter hole 43 from entering the first connecting hole 31.

[0081] The connecting seat 3 is equipped with an elastic driving component, which is a driving spring 35, installed within the slide groove 36. The top of the driving spring 35 abuts against the bottom of the connecting plate 5, and the bottom of the driving spring 35 abuts against the bottom wall of the slide groove 36. When the driving spring 35 is released elastically, it pushes the separating box 4 toward the opening of the connecting groove 33.

[0082] A hinge shaft 45 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the separator 4. An interceptor plate 44 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the hinge shaft 45. The interceptor plate 44 flips between two guide parts 47 and can flip to abut against the outer wall of the separator 4 to block the discharge port 42.

[0083] The connecting plate 5 is equipped with a control assembly, which includes a control bar 6, a control rope 61, a control spring 62, and a control column 63. The connecting plate 5 is inclined to form a sliding groove, with the groove opening located near the discharge port 42. The control column 63 slides within the sliding groove. The control spring 62 is installed within the sliding groove, with one end abutting against the control column 63 and the other end abutting against the side wall of the sliding groove away from the opening. When the control spring 62 is released elastically, it pushes the control column 63 out of the sliding groove. At this time, the control column 63 slides on the side of the intercepting plate 44 away from the discharge port 42, pushing the intercepting plate 44 to flip towards the discharge port 42 until the side wall of the control column 63 abuts against the side of the intercepting plate 44 opposite to the discharge port 42, at which point the intercepting plate 44 blocks the discharge port 42.

[0084] The control bar 6 is fixed to the bottom wall of the slide groove 36, and the control bar 6 is offset from the drive spring 35. A control groove 52 is formed at the bottom of the connecting plate 5, and the control bar 6 slides up and down in the control groove 52. The control rope 61 slides through the connecting plate 5, one end of the control rope 61 passes through the control spring 62 and is fixed to the end of the control column 63, and the other end passes through the control groove 52 and is fixed to the wall of the control groove 52. When the separation box 4 moves away from the opening of the connecting groove 33, the control bar 6 slides into the control groove 52. At this time, the control bar 6 pulls the control rope 61 into the control groove 52, so that the control rope 61 pulls the control column 63 into the sliding groove. The control spring 62 enters the compressed state until the bottom of the separation box 4 abuts against the bottom wall of the connecting groove 33. At this time, the control column 63 moves away from the interceptor plate 44. The interceptor plate 44 flips down into the first connecting hole 31. The filtered solid waste in the separation box 4 can enter the first connecting hole 31 through the discharge port 42 and enter the collection funnel 13 along the first connecting hole 31.

[0085] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 The connecting plate 5 has sliding teeth 51 on its side wall, and the sliding groove 36 has supporting teeth 34 fixedly connected to its side wall. There are multiple supporting teeth 34, which are evenly arranged vertically. The sliding teeth 51 and the supporting teeth 34 are right-angled triangular tooth structures, and are made of materials with a certain elastic deformation capability, such as stainless steel and plastic.

[0086] When the amount of waste in the separation box 4 increases, causing the separation box 4 to move downwards, the connecting plate 5 slides downwards into the chute 36. At this time, the sliding tooth 51 slides on the support tooth 34. When the amount of waste in the separation box 4 decreases, the drive spring 35 drives the separation box 4 towards the opening of the connecting chute 33, causing the separation box 4 to drive the connecting plate 5 to slide upwards. At this time, the support tooth 34 supports the sliding tooth 51 in one direction, restricting the upward sliding of the connecting plate 5 and maintaining the state of the separation box 4, which is conducive to the waste in the separation box 4 being discharged through the discharge port 42.

[0087] See Figure 4 and Figure 6 A power torsion spring 451 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the hinge shaft 45. One end of the power torsion spring 451 abuts against the interceptor plate 44, and the other end abuts against the separation box 4. When the control column 63 moves away from the interceptor plate 44, the solid waste in the separation box 4 pushes the interceptor plate 44 to flip downward and open the discharge port 42. At this time, the power torsion spring 451 enters a compressed state until the solid waste in the separation box 4 is completely separated from the separation box 4. Then, the power torsion spring 451 is released, pushing the interceptor plate 44 to flip upward and block the discharge port 42.

[0088] See Figure 7 and Figure 8The connecting plate 5 is equipped with a drive assembly, which includes a power screw 7, a power belt 71, a power sleeve 72, a first one-way tooth 73, a second one-way tooth 74, a first connecting tooth 75, and a second connecting tooth 76. The separation box 4 forms a power groove 46, and the power sleeve 72 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the hinge shaft 45 and is located inside the power groove 46.

[0089] The first one-way tooth 73 is fixed to the outer periphery of the hinge shaft 45, and the first connecting tooth 75 is fixed to the inner periphery of the power sleeve 72. There are multiple first connecting teeth 75, which are evenly arranged circumferentially. The first one-way tooth 73 meshes with the first connecting tooth 75. The first connecting tooth 75 and the first one-way tooth 73 are right-angled triangular tooth structures and are made of materials with a certain elastic deformation capability, such as stainless steel or plastic.

[0090] The second one-way tooth 74 is fixed to the outer periphery of the power sleeve 72, and the second connecting tooth 76 is fixed to the inner wall of the power groove 46. There are multiple second connecting teeth 76, which are evenly arranged circumferentially. The second one-way tooth 74 meshes with the second connecting tooth 76. The second connecting tooth 76 and the second one-way tooth 74 are right-angled triangular tooth structures and are made of materials with a certain elastic deformation capability, such as stainless steel or plastic.

[0091] See Figure 6 and Figure 8 When the interceptor plate 44 flips away from the discharge port 42, the first one-way tooth 73 slides on the first connecting tooth 75, and the first connecting tooth 75 supports the first one-way tooth 73 in one direction. At this time, the power sleeve 72 is in a stationary state. When the power torsion spring 451 drives the interceptor plate 44 to flip and approach the discharge port 42, the first one-way tooth 73 slides on the first connecting tooth 75, and the first connecting tooth 75 supports the first one-way tooth 73 in one direction. The hinge shaft 45 drives the power sleeve 72 to enter a rotating state.

[0092] The connecting plate 5 has a horizontally extending mounting groove, and the sliding tooth 51 slides within the mounting groove. The power screw 7 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 5 and located within the mounting groove, and the sliding tooth 51 is threadedly connected to the power screw 7. When the power screw 7 rotates, the sliding tooth 51 slides closer to or away from the support tooth 34. The power belt 71 is connected end to end and respectively sleeved on the power sleeve 72 and the outer periphery of the power screw 7. When the interceptor plate 44 flips upward and approaches the discharge port 42, the power belt 71 drives the power screw 7 to rotate, causing the sliding tooth 51 to move away from the support tooth 34.

[0093] The connecting seat 3 is equipped with a power assembly, which includes a power gear 8 and a power rack 81. The power gear 8 is fixed to the outer periphery of the power lead screw 7, and the power rack 81 is fixed to the vertical side wall of the slide groove 36. The power rack 81 is located above the support tooth 34 and is offset.

[0094] When the interceptor plate 44 flips to block the discharge port 42, the sliding tooth 51 moves away from the support tooth 34. At this time, the separation box 4 begins to move upward, and the sliding tooth 51 is located directly below the power rack 81. When the separation box 4 approaches the opening of the connecting groove 33, the power gear 8 first approaches the power rack 81, and then the power rack 81 meshes with the power gear 8. When the separation box 4 continues to move upward, the power screw 7 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the sliding tooth 51 to slide directly above the support tooth 34.

[0095] The implementation principle of the kitchen waste and waste oil collector in Embodiment 2 of this application is as follows:

[0096] During garbage collection, mobile vendors can directly dump garbage into the connecting trough 33, causing the garbage to collect in the separating trough 41. At this time, grease and liquid waste are discharged through the filter hole 43 and then flow into the second connecting hole 32. After that, the grease and liquid waste are filtered through the filter basket 14 and enter the waste grease recycling bin 17. When the solid waste in the separating box 4 increases, the separating box 4 moves downward. At this time, the separating box 4 continues to move downward until it touches the bottom wall of the connecting trough 33. Then, the intercepting plate 44 flips downward to open the discharge port 42, allowing the solid waste in the separating box 4 to be discharged into the first connecting hole 31 through the discharge port 42. Finally, the solid waste enters the kitchen waste bin 16 through the collection funnel 13. After the solid waste in the separating box 4 is discharged, the intercepting plate 44 flips upward to block the discharge port 42. Then, the sliding tooth 51 moves away from the supporting tooth 34, and the separating box 4 moves upward towards the connecting trough 33. When it is close to the opening of the connecting trough 33, the sliding tooth 51 slides back to directly above the supporting tooth 34.

[0097] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
