DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a trash bin 10 is used in a transfer device 100. The trash bin 10 includes a lower box body 11 and an upper box body 12. The upper box body 12 is arranged above the lower box body 11. A first opening is provided at the bottom of the upper box body 12. The upper box body 12 is rotatably connected to the lower box body 11 in the vertical direction for opening and closing the first opening. When the upper box body 12 is rotated upward to separate from the lower box body 11, the lower box body 11 opens the first opening of the upper box body 12, and the trash stored in the upper box body 12 can be discharged from the first opening. When the upper box body is connected to the lower box body 11, the lower box body 11 covers the first opening of the upper box body 12, and a storage chamber 102 can be formed between the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11 for storing trash.

[0044] In addition, the trash bin 10 also includes a locking mechanism 13, which locks and unlocks the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11. The locking mechanism 13 can be used to lock and release the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11. When the trash bin 10 is collecting and storing materials, the locking mechanism 13 can lock the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11 to facilitate the collection of materials by the trash bin 10. When the trash bin 10 needs to dump materials, the locking mechanism 13 can unlock the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11 to facilitate the opening of the upper box body 12 for dumping garbage.

[0045] Wherein, the trash can 10 further comprises a lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is used for lifting and lowering the upper box body 12. Utilizing the lifting mechanism, the upper box body 12 can be opened and closed, so that the trash can 10 is convenient for collecting and dumping materials.

[0046] In the present invention, the trash bin 10 is configured to be separated in the upper and lower directions. When storing materials, the first opening is sealed by the lower box body 11, forming a storage chamber 102 within the trash bin 10, which facilitates the stable storage of materials within the storage chamber 102. When unloading materials, the first opening is opened by the lower box body 11, and the materials stored in the bin can be discharged through the first opening. Furthermore, the gravity acting on the materials in the storage chamber 102 is greater than the static friction between the materials and the upper box body 12, thereby facilitating the discharge of materials from the storage chamber 102. Furthermore, the first opening can be configured to have a larger area, which can facilitate the disruption of the equilibrium state of the materials, thereby facilitating the unloading of materials from the storage chamber 102.

[0047] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the trash bin 10 adopts an upper and lower separated box structure, and the upper and lower box bodies 11 can be locked into an integral structure, which can facilitate the dumping of materials in the trash bin 10, especially expanded materials; the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11 can be separated to facilitate the smooth unloading of materials.

[0048] As previously mentioned, the upper box body 12 can have a first position and a third position. In the first position, the bottom of the upper box body 12 is connected to the lower box body 11, and the first opening of the upper box body 12 can be closed by the lower box body 11. In the third position, the bottom of the upper box body 12 is separated from the lower box body 11, and the lower box body 11 opens the first opening, which can facilitate the pouring of materials from the first opening. Of course, the upper box body 12 can also be configured in other forms, for example, the upper box body 12 can also have a second position.

[0049] like Figures 3 to 7In some embodiments of the present invention, the upper case 12 has a first position, a second position, and a third position. In the first position, the bottom of the upper case 12 is connected to the lower case 11, and the locking mechanism 13 locks the upper case 12 and the lower case 11. In the second position, the bottom of the upper case 12 is connected to the lower case 11, and the locking mechanism 13 unlocks the upper case 12 and the lower case 11. In the third position, the bottom of the upper case 12 is separated from the lower case 11. Specifically, the upper case 12 can switch the state of the locking mechanism 13 by moving between the first position and the second position, so that the locking mechanism 13 can be used to lock and unlock the upper case 12 and the lower case 11. The upper case 12 can also be opened and closed by moving between the second position and the third position. In this way, when the upper box body 12 is in the first position, the locking action of the locking mechanism 13 can facilitate the connection of the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11 into a whole, so that the material can be placed in the storage cavity 102; when the upper box body 12 is in the second position, the locking mechanism 13 unlocks the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11, so that the lifting mechanism can drive the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11 to separate and connect; when the upper box body 12 is in the third position, the bottom of the upper box body 12 is separated from the lower box body 11, so that the material in the storage cavity 102 can be easily dumped.

[0050] Optionally, when the locking mechanism 13 locks the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11 , the locking mechanism 13 may be configured to lock the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11 in both the up-down direction and the front-back direction.

[0051] As previously mentioned, the movement of the upper box body 12 between the first position and the second position can achieve the locking and unlocking of the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11, and the movement of the upper box body 12 between the second position and the third position can achieve the lifting and lowering of the upper box body 12. In other words, the lifting and lowering movement of the upper box body 12 is separated from the locking and unlocking states, which can simplify the structure of the waste bin 10 and facilitate the state switching of the waste bin 10.

[0052] The movement of the upper box body 12 between the first position and the second position can be set as a translation movement along the front-back direction; the movement of the upper box body 12 between the second position and the third position can be set as a flipping movement along the up-down direction.

[0053] Optionally, the lifting mechanism is used to drive the upper housing 12 to translate in the front-to-back direction between the first and second positions, and to drive the upper housing 12 to rotate in the front-to-back direction between the second and third positions, with the second position being located behind the first position and the third position being located above the second position. The lifting mechanism can be used to lock and unlock the upper housing 12, as well as to raise and lower it, thereby simplifying the structure and control of the waste bin 10 and optimizing its performance. Furthermore, the upper housing 12 can be unlocked and locked by translation in the front-to-back direction, simplifying the locking mechanism 13.

[0054] The structure and locking method of the locking mechanism 13 in the embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 as well as Figure 13 The locking mechanism 13 includes a first locking portion 1311 and a first positioning portion 1312. One of the first locking portion 1311 and the first positioning portion 1312 is located at the front of the upper case 12, and the other of the first locking portion 1311 and the first positioning portion 1312 is located at the lower case 11. In the first position, the first locking portion 1311 hooks onto the first positioning portion 1312 in the front-to-back direction. In the second position, the first locking portion 1311 unlocks the first positioning portion 1312. The first locking portion 1311 and the first positioning portion 1312 cooperate in a hook-like manner, facilitating the locking and unlocking of the upper and lower cases 12 and 11 in the front-to-back direction, thereby simplifying the locking mechanism 13.

[0056] In the present invention, the first locking portion 1311 can be provided on the upper case 12, and the first positioning portion 1312 can be provided on the lower case 11; or the first locking portion 1311 can be provided on the lower case 11, and the first positioning portion 1312 can be provided on the upper case 12. The present invention is mainly described by taking "the first locking portion 1311 provided on the upper case 12, and the first positioning portion 1312 provided on the lower case 11" as an example, which is of course not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0057] Optionally, the first locking portion 1311 is rotatably connected to the front of the upper case 12, and the first positioning portion 1312 is provided on the lower case 11. The first locking portion 1311 may include a connecting portion and a hook portion, wherein one end of the connecting portion is hingedly connected to the front of the upper case 12, and the other end of the connecting portion is connected to the hook portion. The hook portion may be configured to form an angle with the connecting portion. In the first position, the hook portion of the first locking portion 1311 is located in front of the first positioning portion 1312, and in the second position, the hook portion of the first locking portion 1311 is located above the first positioning portion 1312. This facilitates the cooperation between the first locking portion 1311 and the first positioning portion 1312 to lock and unlock the upper case 12 and the lower case 11 in the front-to-back direction.

[0058] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 In the first position, the hook portion of the first locking portion 1311 is located in front of the first positioning portion 1312; Figure 10 and Figure 13When moving from the first position to the second position, the hook portion of the first locking portion 1311 moves from the front of the first positioning portion 1312 to the top of the first positioning portion 1312, thereby releasing the lock on the upper box body 12. At this time, the upper box body 12 can be smoothly driven to move from the second position to the third position; Figure 13 After moving from the third position to the second position, the hook portion of the first locking portion 1311 is located above the first positioning portion 1312. At this time, it is convenient to drive the upper box body 12 to move, so as to move the hook portion of the first locking portion 1311 from above the first positioning portion 1312 to behind the first positioning portion 1312, thereby locking the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11 in the front-to-back direction.

[0059] Alternatively, as Figure 5 、 Figure 10 as well as Figure 13 The upper portion of the front surface of the positioning portion 1312 includes a first inclined surface 1314, which is configured to be inclined forward from top to bottom. In this way, when the upper housing 12 is driven to move from the first position to the second position, the first inclined surface 1314 of the first positioning portion 1312 can guide the hook portion of the first locking portion 1311 to quickly move from the front of the first positioning portion 1312 to the top of the first positioning portion 1312; when the upper housing 12 is driven to move from the second position to the first position, the first inclined surface 1314 of the first positioning portion 1312 can guide the hook portion of the first locking portion 1311 to quickly move from the top of the first positioning portion 1312 to the front of the first positioning portion 1312, which can simplify the matching structure of the first locking portion 1311 and the first positioning portion 1312, and realize the rapid locking and unlocking of the first locking portion 1311 and the first positioning portion 1312.

[0060] In addition, if Figure 5 、 Figure 10 as well as Figure 13 The upper portion of the rear surface of the first locking portion 1311 includes a second inclined surface 1315. In the first position, the second inclined surface 1315 tilts rearward from top to bottom. In the second position, the second inclined surface 1315 abuts the front portion of the upper housing 12. The second inclined surface 1315 can be used to retain the first locking portion 1311 in the second position. When in the second position, the second inclined surface 1315 enhances the abutment strength between the second locking portion 1321 and the upper housing 12, thereby increasing the service life and structural strength of the waste bin 10.

[0061] Furthermore, if Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 as well as Figure 13The lifting mechanism includes a linear drive member 151. The first end of the linear drive member 151 is rotatably connected to the first locking portion 1311, and the second end of the linear drive member 151 is rotatably connected to the lower housing 11. In the first position, the second end of the linear drive member 151 is located below and in front of the first end. The provision of the linear drive member 151 simplifies the lifting mechanism and facilitates movement of the upper housing 12 between the first, second, and third positions.

[0062] Specifically, when the upper box 12 is in the first position, the linear drive member 151 can extend to drive the first locking portion 1311 upward and backward, so that the hook portion of the first locking portion 1311 moves from the front of the first positioning portion 1312 to the top of the first positioning portion 1312; then the linear drive member 151 can drive the upper box 12 to move backward to the second position; then the linear drive member 151 can drive the upper box 12 to rotate upward to the third position. In addition, when the upper box 12 is in the third position, the linear drive member 151 can shorten, and the upper box 12 rotates downward under its own weight and falls to the lower box 11, and the upper box 12 moves to the second position. At this time, the hook portion of the first locking portion 1311 overlaps the top of the first positioning portion 1312; then the linear drive member 151 can drive the upper box 12 to move forward, and the hook portion of the first locking portion 1311 will move to the front of the first positioning portion 1312, at which time the upper box 12 moves to the first position.

[0063] As described above, the combination of the first locking portion 1311, the first positioning portion 1312 and the lifting mechanism can achieve locking and unlocking of the upper box body 12 in the front-rear direction. In addition, the locking mechanism 13 of the present invention is also used to lock and unlock the upper box body 12 in the up-down direction.

[0064] like Figure 3 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 11 as well as Figure 14 In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 13 further includes a second locking portion 1321 and a second positioning portion 1322. One of the second locking portion 1321 and the second positioning portion 1322 is located at the lower portion of the upper case 12, and the other of the second locking portion 1321 and the second positioning portion 1322 is located at the lower case 11. In a first position, the second locking portion 1321 hooks onto the second positioning portion 1322 in the vertical direction. In a second position, the second locking portion 1321 unlocks the second positioning portion 1322. The second locking portion 1321 and the second positioning portion 1322 cooperate in a hooking manner, which facilitates the locking and unlocking of the upper case 12 and the lower case 11 in the vertical direction, thereby simplifying the locking mechanism 13.

[0065] In the present invention, the second locking portion 1321 can be provided on the upper case 12, and the second positioning portion 1322 can be provided on the lower case 11; or the second locking portion 1321 can be provided on the lower case 11, and the second positioning portion 1322 can be provided on the upper case 12. The present invention is mainly described using the example of "the second locking portion 1321 being provided on the upper case 12, and the second positioning portion 1322 being provided on the lower case 11", which does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0066] In some embodiments, the second locking portion 1321 is connected to the lower portion of the upper box body 12, the second positioning portion 1322 is connected to the lower box body 11, and the second positioning portion 1322 is provided with a limiting groove 1323 extending along the front-to-back direction and with a front end opening for the second locking portion 1321 to slide in and out. In the first position, the second locking portion 1321 extends into the limiting groove 1323, and in the second position, the second locking portion 1321 is arranged behind the limiting groove 1323.

[0067] Among them, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 11 as well as Figure 14 When the cam 1321 is in the locked state, the locking cam 1323 is released, and the locking cam 1324 is in the locked state.

[0068] Optionally, the second positioning portion 1322 includes a plurality of second positioning portions 1322, and a portion of the plurality of second positioning portions 1322 is located on the left side of the lower case 11 and another portion is located on the right side of the lower case 11. The second locking portion 1321 includes a plurality of second positioning portions 1322 corresponding to the second positioning portions 1322. In the first position, the lower portion of the upper case 12 is limited between the limiting portion on the left side of the lower case 11 and the limiting portion on the right side of the lower case 11. Thus, the plurality of second positioning portions 1322 can limit the upper case 12 to a predetermined position, thereby facilitating the centering of the upper case 12 and improving the stability of the upper case 12 in the vertical movement. In addition, the limiting effect of the plurality of second positioning portions 1322 can facilitate the stable movement of the upper case 12 in the front-rear direction.

[0069] like Figure 3 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 15 as well as Figure 16 In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 13 further includes a third locking portion 1331 and a third positioning portion 1332. One of the third locking portion 1331 and the third positioning portion 1332 is located at the rear of the upper box body 12, and the other is located at the rear of the lower box body 11. In the first position, the third locking portion 1331 locks the third positioning portion 1332, and in the second position, the third locking portion 1331 unlocks the third positioning portion 1332. The third locking portion 1331 can be configured as a gusset plate at the rear of the upper box body 12, and the third positioning portion 1332 can be configured as a bottom beam at the rear of the lower box body 11. The cooperation between the third locking portion 1331 and the third positioning portion 1332 can further improve the connection strength between the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11 in the first position, thereby improving the stability of the trash can 10.

[0070] Among them, in the first position, the third locking portion 1331 of the upper box body 12 is connected to the third positioning portion 1332 of the lower box body 11 to position the rear of the upper box body 12 and the rear of the lower box body 11 in the up and down directions; when moving from the first position to the second position, the upper box body 12 moves backward, and the third locking portion 1331 is separated from the third positioning portion 1332. At this time, the upper box body 12 can be flipped in the up and down directions, and then the upper box body 12 can be driven to flip upward to the third position; when the upper box body 12 descends to the second position, the third locking portion 1331 and the third positioning portion 1332 are opposite to each other in the front-to-back direction; when moving from the second position to the first position, the upper box body 12 moves forward, and the third locking portion 1331 is connected to the third positioning portion 1332.

[0071] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 11 as well as Figure 12 In some embodiments, a waist-shaped groove 142 extending in the front-to-back direction is provided at the upper portion of the front end of the lower housing 11, and a pin 141 is provided at the upper portion of the front end of the upper housing 12. The pin 141 is rotatably and slidably inserted into the waist-shaped groove 142. In a first position, the pin 141 is located at the front end of the waist-shaped groove 142, and in a second position, the pin 141 is located at the rear end of the waist-shaped groove 142. The waist-shaped groove 142 facilitates the translational movement of the lower housing 11 in the front-to-back direction and the rotational movement around the pin 141. Specifically, as described above, when the upper housing 12 moves between the first and second positions, it translates relative to the lower housing 11 in the front-to-back direction, and the pin 141 slides along the waist-shaped groove 142. When the upper housing 12 moves between the second and third positions, it rotates relative to the lower housing 11 in the up-down direction, and the pin 141 rotatably inserts into the waist-shaped groove 142.

[0072] like Figure 1In some embodiments, the lower housing 11 includes a front half 111 and a rear half 112. The rear half 112 extends in the front-to-back direction and has its front end connected to the lower portion of the front half 111. The front portion of the upper housing 12 is hinged to the upper portion of the front half 111, and the upper housing 12 is rotatable between a position where its lower end is connected to the rear half 112 and a position where its lower end is separated from the rear half 112. The rear half 112 can be conveniently used to support and close the upper housing 12. In addition, the front portion of the upper housing 12 can be rotatably connected to the front half 111. Alternatively, the waist-shaped groove 142 can be provided at the upper portion of the front end of the lower housing 11, and the pin 141 can be provided at the upper portion of the front end of the upper housing 12.

[0073] In some embodiments, the front portion of the storage chamber 102 is provided with a second opening (not shown in the figures). In the first position, the lower housing 11 closes the second opening. In conjunction with the aforementioned embodiment, the lower housing 11 includes a front portion 111 and a rear portion 112. In the first position, the front portion 111 closes the second opening. The provision of the second opening increases the opening area of ​​the upper housing 12 for dumping materials, thereby improving the efficiency of dumping garbage from the trash can 10 and enabling rapid dumping. This avoids the problem of material expansion within the storage chamber 102, which makes dumping difficult, and improves the efficiency of dumping materials from the trash can 10.

[0074] like Figure 2 In some embodiments, the upper box body 12 includes a left side panel 121, a right side panel 122, a top panel 123 and a back panel 124.

The back panel 124 connects the rear edge of the left side panel 121, the rear edge of the right side panel 122 and the rear edge of the top panel 123. A first opening is formed between the lower edge of the left side panel 121, the lower edge of the right side panel 122 and the lower edge of the back panel 124. A second opening is formed between the front edge of the left side panel 121, the front edge of the right side panel 122 and the front edge of the top panel 123.

[0075] like Figure 18 The transfer device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a chassis 20; and the aforementioned trash bin 10, which is disposed on the chassis 20. The transfer device 100 includes the aforementioned trash bin 10 and may include the technical advantages of the aforementioned trash bin 10, which will not be further described herein.

[0076] In some embodiments, the rear end of the lower box body 11 is rotatably connected to the chassis 20 so as to allow the lower box body 11 to rotate in the up and down directions.

[0077] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a trash bin 10 and a transfer device 100, wherein the trash bin 10 is configured as a top-bottom separated box structure. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The trash bin 10 includes an upper box body 12, a lower box body 11, a lifting mechanism (e.g., a lifting cylinder), a compression chamber 101, and a locking mechanism 13. The upper box body 12 is located above the lower box body 11. During compression, the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11 are locked together to form a storage box. During unloading, the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11 are separated to facilitate the unloading of plastic bottles. The lower box body 11 is located at the bottom of the structure and is connected to the compression chamber 101 as a whole. The lifting mechanism provides power for the lifting and lowering of the upper box body 12. The locking mechanism 13 is located at the rear of the structure and performs locking and loosening actions on the upper and lower boxes 11.

[0078] like Figures 1 to 17 A first locking portion 1311 is provided at the front end of the upper box body 12, and a first positioning portion 1312 is provided in the middle of the front half 111 of the lower box body 11. The first locking portion 1311 is rotatably connected to the upper box body 12 to achieve locking and disengagement between the first locking portion 1311 and the first positioning portion 1312. The limiting plate 1313 limits the first locking portion 1311 in the flip-up position. After the first locking portion 1311 flips up, the second inclined surface 1315 abuts and cooperates with the limiting plate 1313. A waist-shaped groove 142 is provided at the upper part of the front end of the lower box body 11, and a pin shaft 141 is provided at the front end of the upper box body 12. The locking and separation of the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11 are achieved by the translation and rotation of the pin shaft 141 in the waist-shaped groove 142. In addition, a buckle plate is provided at the tail end of the upper box body 12, and a bottom beam is provided at the tail end of the lower box body 11. The buckle plate can be connected to the bottom beam to limit the upward and downward displacement of the box body.

[0079] like Figures 3 to 8 When the upper box body 12 is in the first position, the pin shaft 141 is at the front end of the waist-shaped groove 142, the lifting mechanism (such as the lifting cylinder) is in the retracted position, the first locking part 1311 and the first positioning part 1312 are in a locked state, limiting the forward and backward displacement of the box body; the second positioning parts 1322 on both sides of the lower box body 11 and the second locking parts 1321 on both sides of the upper box body 12 are in a clamped state, limiting the upward and downward displacement of the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11. In addition, the second positioning parts 1322 can also prevent the upper box body 12 from expanding outward, and the rear buckle plate of the upper box body 12 contacts the rear bottom beam of the lower box body 11, limiting the upward and downward displacement of the box body; ensuring that the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11 are locked into a stable box body.

[0080] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the linear drive member 151 extends, the first locking portion 1311 rotates upward, and the second inclined surface 1315 of the first locking portion 1311 contacts the limit plate 1313 at the front of the upper box body 12, the first locking portion 1311 releases the lock with the first positioning portion 1312, and the front and rear displacement restriction of the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11 is cancelled.

[0081] like Figures 11 to 16When the upper box body 12 moves backward from the first position to the second position, the first locking portion 1311 is in a disengaged state, and then the linear drive member 151 continues to extend to drive the upper box body 12 to move backward, and the pin shaft 141 moves backward along the waist-shaped groove 142 to the rear end. The pin shaft 141 is at the rear end of the waist-shaped groove 142 (box body direction), and the buckle plate at the tail of the upper box body 12 is disengaged from the bottom beam at the tail of the lower box body 11. The second positioning portions 1322 on both sides of the box body and the second locking portions 1321 are in a separated state, canceling the upper and lower displacement restrictions of the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11, ensuring that the upper box body 12 can be lifted and separated.

[0082] like Figure 17 When the upper box body 12 moves backward from the second position to the second position, the first locking portion 1311 is in a disengaged state, the pin shaft 141 is at the rear end of the waist-shaped groove 142 (box body direction), and the linear drive member 151 continues to lift. The upper box body 12 is flipped up at the rear end of the waist-shaped groove 142 through the pin shaft 141, and the linear drive member 151 extends into position. The upper box body 12 flips up into position and enters the unloading state.

[0083] After unloading, the linear drive member 151 is recovered, and the upper box body 12 descends to the state before the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11 are separated. The first locking part 1311 rotates downward and contacts the upper end of the first positioning part 1312. The first locking part 1311 slides forward at the upper end of the first positioning part 1312 to a locked state. The linear drive member 151 is in a recovered position, the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11 are in a locked position, and the second positioning parts 1322 and the second locking parts 1321 on both sides of the box body are in a clamped state; the buckle plate at the tail of the upper box body 12 is fastened to the bottom beam at the tail of the lower box body 11 to ensure that the upper box body 12 and the lower box body 11 are locked into a stable box body.

[0084] Figure 18 is a schematic diagram of unloading of the transfer equipment 100, as shown in Figure 18 As shown, after the transfer equipment 100 is fully loaded with pressurized materials, it is transported to a waste disposal site via a boom truck 40. During unloading, the boom truck 40 extracts power, lifting the upper box 12 via the lifting mechanism, separating it from the lower box 11. The boom truck 40 is then raised and the equipment is raised to the unloading state, whereupon the pressurized materials in the box formed by the upper and lower boxes 12, 11 are discharged under the action of gravity.

[0085] Compared with the problem in traditional technology that fixed boxes are difficult to unload when press-fitting materials with large expansion coefficients, the upper and lower separated box structure of the present invention solves the problem of difficult unloading; the present invention uses a set of lifting cylinders to realize the lifting, separation and locking of the upper box 12 through a movable locking hook, and the operation is simple and reliable. Compared with the traditional fixed box locking mechanism 13 located on both sides of the box, the present invention uses a set of lifting cylinders to realize the lifting, separation and locking of the upper box 12 through a movable locking hook, the box width is increased, the box volume is increased, the loading capacity of the press-fitted materials is increased, and the operating cost is reduced. The new upper and lower separated box structure of the present invention, when compressed, the upper and lower boxes 11 are locked to a stable box structure to meet the compression requirements, and when unloading, the upper and lower boxes 11 are separated to meet the unloading requirements; the present invention uses a set of lifting cylinders to realize the lifting, separation and locking of the upper box 12 through a movable locking hook, and the operation is simple and reliable. The novel upper and lower separated box structure of the present invention realizes the translation and flipping action switching of the upper box 12 through the waist-shaped groove 142 structure, thereby realizing the box separation and locking function requirements; the novel upper and lower separated box structure of the present invention adds a second locking part and a second positioning part structure on both sides of the box to realize the upper and lower and left and right limit switching requirements of the upper and lower boxes 11; the present invention uses a set of lifting cylinders to realize the lifting, separation and locking of the upper box 12 through a movable locking hook, the box width is increased, the box volume is increased, the loading capacity of the pressurized material is increased, and the operating cost is reduced.
