Description

[0002] There are a lot of food waste in communities, hotels, commercial complexes, restaurants, etc. After garbage classification, pneumatic collection systems are generally used to collect food waste.

[0003] The pneumatic collection system refers to the pneumatic pipeline collection system for domestic waste, which refers to the process of sending domestic waste to the central waste collection station through a pre-laid pipeline system using negative pressure technology, and then transporting it to the waste disposal site after compression.

[0004] A food waste inlet is provided at the food waste feeding end. The lower side of the food waste inlet is connected to the pneumatic collection system through a connecting pipe, and the food waste is transported through the connecting pipe. A discharge valve is provided on the connecting pipe at the lower side of the food waste inlet. The discharge valve controls the opening or closing of the connecting pipe. When it is opened, the food waste at the food waste inlet can be sucked away by the negative pressure.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example

[0028] The present invention provides a discharge valve for a pneumatic collection system, see Figure 1-Figure 5 , including an installation valve body 100 fixed on the connecting pipe 500, wherein the installation valve body 100 is located on the vertical pipe section of the connecting pipe 500.

[0029] Specifically, a valve cavity 110 is formed on the inner side of the installation valve body 100; a first connecting port 120 and a second connecting port 130 are respectively formed at the upper and lower ends of the installation valve body 100 near the connecting pipe 500, and the first connecting port 120 and the second connecting port 130 are respectively connected to the connecting pipes 500 on the upper and lower sides; specifically, the connection method can be sealed by a flange.

[0030] A valve core block 200 is horizontally slidably arranged on the inner side of the valve cavity 110, and a driving assembly 300 for driving the valve core block 200 to move horizontally is arranged on the outer side of the valve body 100. The driving assembly 300 controls the valve core block 200 to move horizontally to cover the first connecting port 120 and the second connecting port 130, or to move to one side of the first connecting port 120 and the second connecting port 130; a sealing mechanism 400 is arranged on the inner side of the valve core block 200 for sealing the first connecting port 120 and the second connecting port 130 on both sides of the valve core block 200.

[0031] When in use, when it is necessary to process kitchen waste through the delivery port, the first communication port 120 and the second communication port 130 are opened by controlling the driving component 300, and then the kitchen waste to be processed can be sucked away by negative pressure. When the processing is completed, the first communication port 120 and the second communication port 130 are sealed by the driving component 300 and the sealing mechanism 400 to ensure the sealing of the discharge valve position.

[0032] The first connecting port 120 and the second connecting port 130 are rectangular ports, and a prism-shaped wall 140 is formed at a position where the valve body 100 is installed near the first connecting port 120 and the second connecting port 130; by setting the prism-shaped wall 140, when negative pressure is provided, there will be no problem of residual food waste when passing through the valve cavity 110.

[0033] An installation cavity 210 is formed inside the valve core block 200 . The sealing mechanism 400 is disposed in the installation cavity 210 and abuts against the prism-shaped wall 140 .

[0034] The driving assembly 300 includes a control cylinder 310 fixed to one side of the mounting valve body 100, the piston end of the control cylinder 310 passes through the mounting valve body 100 and is located in the valve cavity 110, the piston end of the control cylinder 310 is fixedly connected to the valve core block 200, and the control valve core block 200 moves in a horizontal direction, and when moving, it can completely block the first connecting port 120 and the second connecting port 130, or completely offset the first connecting port 120 and the second connecting port 130.

[0036] The valve core block 200 has rectangular sealing openings 230 on the upper and lower sides near the first and second communication openings 120 and 130, respectively; the sealing openings 230 are connected to the installation cavity 210.

[0038] A transmission assembly 430 is provided between the first baffle plate 410 and the second baffle plate 420 for controlling the first baffle plate 410 and the second baffle plate 420 to move away from each other or towards each other; a prism-shaped sealing block 440 is fixedly installed on the side of the first baffle plate 410 and the second baffle plate 420 facing away from each other; when the transmission assembly 430 controls the first baffle plate 410 and the second baffle plate 420 to move away from each other, the sealing block 440 can pass through the sealing opening 230 and abut against the prism-shaped wall 140 for sealing.

[0039] An elastic rubber membrane 450 is fixedly mounted on the valve core block 200 and outside the sealing opening 230 ; the rubber membrane 450 closes the sealing opening 230 , and when the sealing block 440 moves outward, the rubber membrane 450 is lifted up and abuts against the prism-shaped wall 140 to form a seal.

[0040] The transmission assembly 430 includes a first positioning cylinder 431 fixedly installed on a side wall of the installation cavity 210, and a first positioning block 4311 is fixedly installed on the piston end of the first positioning cylinder 431. The first positioning block 4311 is rotatably connected to a first support rod 432 and a second support rod 433 along a horizontal axis, and the horizontal axis is parallel to the first baffle 410 and the second baffle 420.

[0041] The first support rod 432 and the second support rod 433 are rotatably connected to the side away from the first positioning cylinder 431 with a shear frame 434 in an "X" shape, and the two ends of the shear frame 434 close to the first positioning cylinder 431 are respectively rotatably connected to the first support rod 432 and the second support rod 433. Specifically, the shear frame 434 includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod, and the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are cross-rotatably connected.

[0042] A second positioning cylinder 435 is fixedly installed on the valve core block 200 and located at one end of the installation cavity 210 away from the first positioning cylinder 431, and a second positioning block 4351 is fixedly installed on the piston end of the second positioning cylinder 435; a third support rod 436 and a fourth support rod 437 are rotatably installed on the second positioning block 4351, and the third support rod 436 and the fourth support rod 437 are rotatably connected to the shear frame 434 at one end away from the second positioning block 4351 at both ends close to the second positioning cylinder 435.

The shear frame 434 is located on a side close to the second baffle plate 420 and is rotatably installed with a second fixed block 439, and the second fixed block 439 is fixedly connected to the second baffle plate 420. The first positioning cylinder 431 and the second positioning cylinder 435 extend or shorten synchronously.

[0044] When the piston ends of the first positioning cylinder 431 and the second positioning cylinder 435 extend or shorten synchronously, the shear frame 434 is driven to rotate. When the shear frame 434 rotates, the first baffle plate 410 and the second baffle plate 420 on the upper and lower sides are controlled to move linearly in the vertical direction.

[0045] Two groups of transmission components 430 are arranged at intervals between the first baffle plate 410 and the second baffle plate 420. By providing two groups of transmission components 430, the first baffle plate 410 and the second baffle plate 420 can be better controlled, so that the transmission is more stable.

[0046] It should be noted that the size of the shear frame 434 needs to meet the following adjustment. When the positioning cylinder is extended to the set position, the shear frame 434 can control the first baffle 410 and the second baffle 420 on both sides to move to a relatively distant side, and after moving, it can ensure that the sealing block 440 is tightly sealed against the prism-shaped wall 140.
