Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of environmental protection, and in particular to a high-efficiency and environment-friendly can compression device. Background Art

[0002] Existing can compression technology faces multiple challenges, including low efficiency, high energy consumption, and potential damage to cans, which significantly affect the efficiency of recycling and the rational use of resources. First, the traditional mechanical compression method is inefficient, resulting in slow processing speed and difficulty in meeting large-scale recycling needs. Secondly, the shape of the can requires a large space for the compression device, which not only limits its scope of application, but also increases the complexity of deployment and handling. In addition, cans are easily damaged during the compression process, which not only reduces the quality of recycling, but also increases the difficulty of subsequent processing.

[0003] In the comparative case, publication number: CN2020101254458, this invention discloses a threaded structure rotary can compression device. The device adopts a complex counter-rotating thread drive system and an integrated main gear structure to enhance the transmission strength. However, this design complexity may lead to increased maintenance costs, especially when regular lubrication and replacement of worn parts are required. In addition, the annular array coil spring contact type maximum rotation resistance control mechanism requires precise manufacturing and calibration to ensure the safety of operation. At the same time, especially when handling cans of different specifications, the rotation limit mechanism fixed at the end of the rotating shaft may limit the flexibility and adaptability of the device.

[0004] In the comparative case, publication number: CN201810206223.1, this invention discloses an integrated waste can compressor. The device is complex in design and contains multiple mechanical components, such as a rotating wheel, a drive rod, a compression gravity block and a retractable clamping column, which increases the difficulty and cost of manufacturing and maintenance. The motor drives multiple components, resulting in high energy consumption, affecting the overall energy efficiency. The hollow cup-shaped compression gravity block design may cause uneven compression effect. Multiple moving parts are prone to wear after long-term use, increasing maintenance costs. The overall equipment takes up a large space and is not suitable for small recycling stations or home use. The complex structure makes troubleshooting and repairs difficult, and professional maintenance may be required.

[0005] Based on the problems existing in previous can compression devices, there is an urgent need to provide a high-efficiency and environmentally friendly can compression device to improve compression efficiency and stability, achieve effective compression of cans, and further enhance the public's environmental awareness. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the problems of low efficiency and high energy consumption of the above-mentioned existing can compression devices, the present invention aims to provide a high-efficiency and environmentally friendly can compression device to improve the compression efficiency and stability and achieve effective compression of cans.

[0007] Technical solution: In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] The present invention is a highly efficient and environment-friendly can compression device, which is a horizontal type, comprising a frame, a storage chamber, a first transmission chamber, a second transmission chamber, a guide mechanism, a limit mechanism and an extrusion mechanism. The storage chamber, the first transmission chamber, the second transmission chamber, the guide mechanism, the limit mechanism and the extrusion mechanism are supported by the frame. The storage chamber is arranged on the storage chamber load-bearing aluminum tube on the front side of the aluminum frame of the frame, and is used to store discarded cans; the first transmission chamber is arranged on the aluminum tube of the motor fixing plate of the aluminum frame of the frame and at the rear side of the storage chamber, and is used for the stepper motor to drive the synchronous wheel to rotate and transmit power to the trapezoidal screw; the second transmission chamber is arranged on the bottom plate and at the lower side of the storage chamber and the first transmission chamber, and is used for the rotation of the trapezoidal screw to force the slider to produce linear displacement and the extrusion mechanism to move forward; the guide mechanism is arranged on the aluminum tube fixed on the slide rail and is symmetrically distributed at both ends of the trapezoidal screw, and is used to connect the slider and the connecting block by installing the fixing plate, thereby inhibiting the rotation of the screw nut itself, and at the same time, the slider produces linear displacement to force the extrusion mechanism to move forward in a straight line; the limiting mechanism is arranged on the aluminum tube fixed on the slide rail and is distributed at the front and rear ends of the slide rail, and is used to limit the initial and final working positions of the extrusion device, thereby increasing the service life of the device; the extrusion mechanism is arranged on the second transmission chamber and the guide mechanism and is between the storage chamber and the second transmission chamber in the initial working state, and is used to extrude and compress the cans.

[0009] Furthermore, the rack includes an aluminum frame, angle brackets, a long T-shaped connecting plate, a short T-shaped connecting plate, and an L-shaped connecting plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the aluminum frame includes a front reinforcing aluminum tube, left and right connecting aluminum tubes on the upper side of the storage cavity, a load-bearing aluminum tube for the storage cavity, left and right connecting aluminum tubes on the lower side of the storage cavity, front and rear connecting aluminum tubes on the lower side of the storage cavity, left and right connecting short aluminum tubes, a slide rail fixing aluminum tube, left and right motor fixing plate mounting aluminum tube connecting aluminum tubes, and a motor fixing plate mounting aluminum tube. The front reinforcing aluminum tube is arranged between the left and right connecting aluminum tubes on the upper side of the storage cavity and the left and right connecting aluminum tubes on the lower side of the storage cavity, and is connected and installed through the angle code; the left and right connecting aluminum tubes on the upper side of the storage cavity are arranged above the load-bearing aluminum tube of the storage cavity and are connected and installed through the L-shaped connecting plate; the left and right connecting aluminum tubes on the lower side of the storage cavity are arranged below the load-bearing aluminum tube of the storage cavity and are connected and installed through the angle code and the long T-shaped connecting plate; the front and rear connecting aluminum tubes on the lower side of the storage cavity are arranged between the front and rear aluminum tubes of the load-bearing aluminum tube of the storage cavity and are connected and installed through the angle code; the right connecting short aluminum tube is arranged between the front and rear connecting aluminum tubes on the lower side of the storage cavity and the slide rail fixed aluminum tube and is connected and installed through the angle code; the slide rail fixed aluminum tube is arranged at the rear side of the left and right connecting aluminum tubes on the lower side of the storage cavity and is connected and installed through the angle code; the left and right motor fixed plate mounting aluminum tube connecting aluminum tubes are arranged between the two aluminum tubes of the motor fixed plate mounting aluminum tube and are connected and installed through the angle code; the motor fixed plate mounting aluminum tube is arranged at the end of the slide rail fixed aluminum tube and is connected and installed through the short T-shaped connecting plate and the angle code.

[0011] Furthermore, the storage chamber includes a storage chamber front side plate, a storage chamber right side plate, and a storage chamber left side plate. The storage chamber front side plate is arranged on the front side reinforcing aluminum tube, the left and right connecting aluminum tubes on the upper side of the storage chamber, the storage chamber load-bearing aluminum tube, and the left and right connecting aluminum tubes on the lower side of the storage chamber, and the storage chamber right side plate and the storage chamber left side plate are respectively arranged on the storage chamber load-bearing aluminum tubes on the left and right sides.

[0012] Furthermore, the first transmission cavity includes a stepper motor, a motor fixing plate, a driving synchronous wheel, a synchronous belt, and a driven synchronous wheel. The stepper motor is fixed to the motor fixing plate by bolts, the motor fixing plate is fixed to the motor fixing plate mounting aluminum tube by bolts, the driving synchronous wheel is fixed to the output shaft of the stepper motor by a clamping method, the driven synchronous wheel is fixed to the trapezoidal lead screw by a clamping method, and the power is transmitted from the driving synchronous wheel to the driven synchronous wheel by the synchronous belt. The motor fixing mounting hole of the fixing plate is set to a circular groove shape, so that the tension of the synchronous belt can be achieved by adjusting the center distance. The driving synchronous wheel and the driven synchronous wheel are arranged up and down in space.

[0013] Furthermore, the stepper motor adopts a 60 integrated closed-loop stepper motor, and the direction and speed of the stepper motor are precisely controlled by the Arduino development board. Pins 6 and 7 of the Arduino development board need to be set to output mode and connected to the direction and speed receiving port of the motor, while pin 8 is set to input mode. During operation, the system adjusts the parameters of the stepper motor by coding.

[0014] When the can falls into the storage chamber, the device uses the stepper motor to drive the synchronous wheel to drive the trapezoidal screw to rotate, thereby pushing the extrusion mechanism to move forward to extrude and compress the recyclable garbage. The adjustment of the position of the extrusion mechanism depends on the slide rail and the slider to ensure the efficiency and stability of the compression process. When the extrusion plate moves forward to the limit position of the recyclable garbage, effective compression is completed.

[0015] Regarding the interface configuration of the photoelectric tube and the Arduino development board, the signal end of the E3F-5DN1-5L diffuse reflection DC three-wire photoelectric tube is connected to the No. 8 pin of the Arduino development board and is installed at about 3 / 4 of the height of the recyclable trash can. The photoelectric tube is responsible for monitoring the garbage filling in the trash can. When garbage passes, the photoelectric tube detects a high-level signal and transmits it to the Arduino. The Arduino controls the stepper motor to perform forward and reverse operations through the No. 6 and No. 7 pins and drives the synchronous wheel to drive the rear trapezoidal screw to rotate. The device integrates the SYN6288 voice broadcast module, which is linked to the Arduino development board. When the Arduino receives the signal from the photoelectric tube, it broadcasts "start compression". If the amount of garbage exceeds 3 / 4 of the height of the container, the photoelectric tube continuously sends a high-level signal to the Arduino, triggering the voice broadcast module to declare "full load" and perform the final compression action. This system design fully considers the logic of operation and the user's interactive experience.

[0016] Furthermore, the second transmission chamber includes a base plate, a trapezoidal screw, a screw support seat, a screw nut, and a screw support seat pad. The base plate is fixed to the left and right connecting aluminum tubes on the lower side of the storage chamber and the lower part of the slide rail fixing aluminum tube by bolts, the screw support seat pad is fixed to the base plate, the screw support seat is fixed to the screw support seat pad, the trapezoidal screw is fixed to the screw support seat, and the screw nut is fixed to the trapezoidal screw. The screw support seat pad, the screw support seat and the bolt holes of the base plate are concentric, and the three are fixed together by bolts. Two screw support seat pads and two screw support seats are respectively fixed to the front and rear ends of the base plate. The screw support seat and the trapezoidal screw are fixed by means of top screws.

[0017] Furthermore, the guide mechanism comprises a linear guide rail, and the linear guide rail comprises a slide rail and a slider. The slide rail and the slider are connected via a slide groove provided therewith.

[0018] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting plate.

[0019] Furthermore, the extrusion mechanism includes a connecting block, a mounting plate, an angle aluminum, and an extrusion plate. The connecting block is mounted and fixed to the screw nut, the mounting plate is mounted and fixed to the slider and the connecting block, the angle aluminum is mounted and fixed to the mounting plate, and the extrusion plate is mounted and fixed to the angle aluminum by bolts. The bolt holes of the connecting block, the mounting plate, and the angle aluminum are concentric, and the three are mounted and fixed together by bolts. The connecting block is provided with the mounting positioning hole and is nested on the screw nut by interference fit. The angle aluminum transfers the extrusion plate and the mounting plate together, and a 5mm thick angle aluminum is used to withstand the bending moment generated by the angle aluminum when the can is compressed. The width of the extrusion plate is smaller than the distance between the right side plate of the storage cavity and the left side plate of the storage cavity.

[0020] Beneficial effects: The present invention sets up an extrusion mechanism. During use, the cans to be compressed are placed between two linear guides. The motor drive and synchronous belt drive are used to drive the lead screw to rotate to push the extrusion plate forward. During the forward movement, the extrusion plate will gradually squeeze the cans. When the right end of the can is interfered by the front side plate of the storage chamber, the cans are effectively compressed. The position of the extrusion plate can be accurately adjusted through the linear guide and the slider, thereby improving the compression efficiency and stability.

[0021] The present invention is provided with a pressure release and protection mechanism. During use, the extrusion plate is pushed forward, the slider at the bottom of the extrusion plate and the lead screw nut installed on the lead screw move forward, and finally the front end of the slider is pushed to contact the limit mechanism to prevent the can from being damaged after being flattened. This mechanism improves the compression effect and is particularly suitable for the compression processing of complete liquid cans.

[0022] The invention has a simple design structure and adopts a modular design, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement of parts, greatly reducing equipment maintenance costs and downtime. The optimized mechanical structure and electric drive system make the device low in energy consumption during operation and meet environmental protection requirements. The self-service operation design is convenient and can be easily used by ordinary residents and tourists, which is conducive to the recycling of discarded cans and enhances environmental awareness.

The Arduino controls the stepper motor shown to perform forward and reverse operations through pins 6 and 7 and drives the synchronous wheel shown to drive the rear trapezoidal lead screw to rotate. The device integrates the SYN6288 voice broadcast module, which is linked to the Arduino development board. When the Arduino receives the signal from the photoelectric tube, it broadcasts "start compression". If the amount of garbage exceeds 3 / 4 of the height of the container, the photoelectric tube continuously sends a high-level signal to the Arduino, triggering the voice broadcast module to declare "full load" and perform the final compression action. This system design fully considers the logic of operation and the user's interactive experience.
