Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of garbage transfer, and more specifically to a vertical garbage transfer station. Background Art

[0002] The garbage transfer station is responsible for the classification and / or compression transfer of garbage. In one type of vertical garbage transfer station, it includes an incoming vehicle for transporting garbage in, an outgoing vehicle for transporting garbage out, and two upper and lower platforms. The height difference between the two platforms is roughly equal to the height of the garbage bin on the outgoing vehicle. The garbage bin is detachably installed on the outgoing vehicle, and the bucket capacity of the incoming vehicle is smaller than the capacity of the above-mentioned garbage bin.

[0003] When in use, the trash bin is moved from the transport vehicle to the workstation on the lower platform, with the opening of the trash bin facing upward. The funnel on the upper platform is aligned with the trash bin, and then the transport vehicle dumps the trash into the trash bin along the funnel. When the trash bin is full, a compacting hammer is inserted into the trash bin for compaction. After repeated dumping and compacting operations, the trash bin is removed from the workstation on the lower platform, and finally the transport vehicle is used to transfer the trash bin to the post-process.

[0004] However, in the above technical solution, the garbage bin is generally assembled and disassembled from the transport vehicle by a hydraulic loading and unloading system on the transport vehicle. However, when the garbage bin is heavy, the hydraulic loading and unloading system needs to bear a large load in the process of moving the garbage bin from vertical to horizontal. Long-term use may cause damage to the hydraulic loading and unloading system and reduce its service life. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome or at least alleviate the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, so as to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a vertical garbage transfer station, which has a first direction and a second direction that are horizontal and perpendicular to each other, including a main body, which has an upper space and a lower space, and the lower space is provided with a station for accommodating a garbage bin. The upper space is provided with a platform and a compacting mechanism, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the station along the second direction. The compacting mechanism includes a translation vehicle, which can move above the station or away from the station along the second direction, and the translation vehicle is equipped with a pressure hammer and a lifting drive member for driving the pressure hammer to rise and fall. The outer ring of the pressure hammer is provided with an annular groove, and a first electromagnet is provided in the annular groove. A semi-ring that can be clamped in the annular groove and attracted by the first electromagnet is installed on the translation vehicle, and the semi-ring is fixed with a hook extending downward, and the lower end of the hook can be clamped into the upper end of the garbage bin. The translation vehicle is also provided with a horizontal driving member, and the driving end of the horizontal driving member is equipped with a second electromagnet that can be attracted by the semi-ring.

[0007] In the first working state, the half ring is fixed to the second electromagnet and is separated from the pressure hammer, and the pressure hammer can enter or leave the trash bin vertically. In the second working state, the half ring is fixed in the ring groove of the pressure hammer and is separated from the second electromagnet, the lower end of the hook is connected to the trash bin, and the pressure hammer can move in the vertical and second directions, so that the hook provides driving force when the trash bin rotates from vertical to horizontal.

[0008] The beneficial effects of one or more of the above technical solutions are:

[0009] In this solution, the half ring and the hook can be detachably fixedly connected to the pressure hammer and the translation vehicle respectively through the first electromagnet and the second electromagnet. In the first working state, the half ring is fixed to the second electromagnet and separated from the pressure hammer, and the pressure hammer can enter or leave the trash bin vertically; in the second working state, the half ring is fixed in the ring groove of the pressure hammer and separated from the second electromagnet, the lower end of the hook is connected to the trash bin, and the pressure hammer can move in the vertical and second directions, so that the hook provides driving force when the trash bin rotates from vertical to horizontal.

[0010] That is, in this solution, it is convenient to use the lifting drive member, the pressure hammer, the half ring and the hook to compact the garbage in the garbage bin, and it can also provide corresponding driving force in the process of flipping the garbage bin from vertical to horizontal and transferring it to the transport vehicle. Furthermore, in this solution, without adding the corresponding hydraulic drive structure, the lifting drive member in this solution realizes driving in different working states, reducing the difficulty of flipping the transport vehicle and carrying heavy garbage bins.

[0027] Specifically, the hook 24 here includes a rod body and a hook body, the rod body extends vertically, and the hook body is arranged to protrude outward relative to the rod body.

[0028] Specifically, the first electromagnet is arranged around the inner wall of the annular groove 22 to form an annular or semi-annular 23 shape. The second electromagnet is a semi-annular 23 structure. Here, the first electromagnet and the semi-annular 23, and the second electromagnet and the semi-annular 23 are respectively contacted and fixed by arc surfaces. In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the semi-annular 23 is equal to the inner diameter of the annular groove 22, and the outer diameter of the semi-annular 23 is equal to the outer diameter of the annular groove 22.

[0029] Specifically, a floor 1 is provided on the ground, and the floor 1 serves as the base of the main body. An outer cover is provided outside the main body, and the outer cover includes a gable 2, a top plate 3, and a side wall 4. A first rolling door 5 and a second rolling door 9 are provided on the side wall 4. The first rolling door 5 and the second rolling door 9 can be opened and closed, thereby opening or closing the space inside the main body.

[0030] In this embodiment, there are multiple workstations 20 , and the multiple workstations 20 are evenly distributed along the first direction. The translation vehicle can also translate and position along the first direction to transfer to above different workstations 20 .

[0031] For details, see Figure 2, which provides a garbage transfer station with five workstations 20, which are arranged in sequence along the first direction, and the spacing between adjacent workstations 20 is equal. The translation vehicle can move along the first direction to a position close to different workstations 20, and then enter or leave the top of the corresponding workstation 20 along the second direction. Correspondingly, the above-mentioned track includes a first track group 17 and a plurality of second track groups 15, the first track group 17 extends along the first direction, and the number of the first track groups 17 is a single.

[0032] In some other embodiments, the number of the workstations 20 may also be six or seven or other numbers, which can be set by those skilled in the art.

[0033] That is, the upper space has a frame, in which a first track group 17 along a first direction and a plurality of second track groups 15 along a second direction are formed, and the second track group 15 is located above the workstation 20 .

[0034] In this embodiment, the translation vehicle includes an upper body 18 and a lower body 16 that can be locked or unlocked. In the unlocked state, the upper body 18 can move in the second direction relative to the lower body 16; in the locked state, the upper body 18 can move in the first direction synchronously with the lower body 16.

[0035] Specifically, in the case of the first track set 17 and the second track set 15, the lower body 16 can move along the first track set 17, and the upper body 18 can move along the second track set 15. Because the upper body 18 is higher than the lower body 16, the second track set 15 is also higher than the first track set 17. The upper body 18 can move in or out of the lower body 16, so that the upper body 18 moves synchronously with the lower body 16 in the first direction, or the upper body 18 moves alone in the second direction.

[0036] More specifically, a slide is provided on the lower body 16, and a powered running wheel is provided on the upper body 18, the slide is provided along the second direction, and the running wheel can run along the slide so that the upper body 18 enters or leaves the lower body 16. A locking member is provided between the upper body 18 and the lower body 16, and the locking member is used to realize the locking and positioning of the upper body 18 after it travels to the set position of the lower body 16. The locking member here can be a locking pin or other structure.

[0037] In this embodiment, the translation vehicle also includes a support frame 19, which is fixed to the upper body 18 and extends upward. A vertical pressure hammer 21 is arranged in the support frame 19, and a lifting drive member is connected between the upper end of the pressure hammer 21 and the top of the support. The middle part of the upper body 18 and the lower body 16 has a cavity that penetrates itself vertically.

[0038] Specifically, the support frame 19 here is also formed by a combination of truss rods. The support frame 19 includes vertical truss rods and horizontal truss rods. The horizontal and vertical truss rods are fixedly connected in pairs.

[0039] Specifically, the lifting drive component here is a hydraulic cylinder 13, which is arranged vertically, the top of the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder 13 is fixed to the support frame 19, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 13 extends downward, and the lower end of the piston rod is fixedly connected to the pressure hammer 21. A hydraulic station 8 is installed in the space below the above-mentioned platform (i.e., the space surrounded by the upper plate 6, the side plate 7 and the ground), and the hydraulic station 8 is used to realize the driving of the hydraulic cylinder 13.

[0040] In this embodiment, the upper space is provided with a funnel 11 rotatably connected to the platform, and the rotation axis of the funnel 11 is parallel to the first direction; the funnel 11 can be rotated to above the platform and away from the workstation 20, or rotated to directly above the workstation 20 to dock with the trash can 12.

[0041] For details, see Figure 2 , the funnel 11 here is rotatably connected to the upper plate 6 on the platform through a rotating shaft, and the central axis of the rotating shaft is parallel to the second direction. In this embodiment, the funnel 11 has three side walls and a bottom ring, and the bottom ring is used to dock and plug into the upper end opening of the garbage bin 12, and the three side walls are fixedly connected to the bottom ring respectively. In the first state, the funnel 11 rotates until the bottom ring is plugged into the upper end of the garbage bin 12; at this time, the side of the funnel 11 close to the platform (i.e., close to the upper plate 6 and the upper plate 6 transport vehicle) is not provided with a side wall, and the other three directions are provided with side walls. In the second state, the funnel 11 rotates toward the side of the upper plate 6 so that the vertical projection of the funnel 11 does not overlap with the vertical projection of the workstation 20 and the garbage bin 12, and the funnel 11 does not hinder the movement of the hook 24 and the garbage bin 12 driven by the pressure hammer 21.

[0042] In this embodiment, a driving member is provided at the funnel 11 , and the driving member is used to drive the funnel 11 to rotate and position.

[0043] Specifically, the driving member is two hydraulic push rods, which are respectively arranged at the two ends of the funnel 11 along the first direction, one end of the hydraulic push rod is connected to the funnel 11, and the other end is connected to the platform. More specifically, the two ends of the hydraulic push rod are respectively connected to the funnel 11 and the platform for rotation.

[0044] Specifically, the driving member here adopts an electric motor or a hydraulic motor, the output shaft of the electric motor or the hydraulic motor is coaxially fixed with the rotating shaft of the funnel 11, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected with the platform, and the rotating shaft is fixed to the funnel 11. When the driving member drives the rotating shaft to rotate, the rotating shaft synchronously drives the funnel 11 to rotate around the central axis of the rotating shaft.

[0045] Here, the opening of the funnel 11 gradually becomes larger in the direction away from the bottom ring. Preferably, the cross-sectional profile of the funnel 11 along the vertical material leakage direction is the direction.

[0046] Working principle: In the first working state, the compacting hammer plays the role of compacting the garbage in the garbage bin 12. At this time, the hook 24 and the half ring 23 are separated from the hammer 21, and the hook 24 and the half ring 23 are supported by the support frame 19 on the translation vehicle.

[0047] First, the funnel 11 is rotated to above the disengagement station 20, and then the garbage bin 12 placed horizontally on the vehicle is flipped to a vertical orientation through the hydraulic loading and unloading system of the vehicle, and the garbage bin 12 is unloaded to the station 20, at which time the opening of the garbage bin 12 is arranged upward.

[0048] Then the funnel 11 rotates in the opposite direction to the top of the workstation 20, and the lower end opening of the funnel 11 connects to the upper end of the garbage bin 12. The garbage truck in the upper space tilts the hopper, and the garbage is dumped into the garbage bin 12 of the workstation 20 along the funnel 11. After the garbage truck in the upper space finishes dumping, the next garbage truck drives in to continue dumping garbage into the garbage bin 12 until the garbage bin 12 is full. When the garbage bin 12 is full and not compacted, the hammer 21 is moved to the top of the garbage bin 12 to be compacted by the translation vehicle, and the hammer 21 falls to compact the garbage in the garbage bin 12. After the garbage is initially compacted, the garbage truck continues to dump some garbage into the garbage bin 12 along the funnel 11 until the garbage bin 12 is full of compacted garbage.

[0049] In the second working state, when the pressure hammer 21 is needed to assist in the transportation of the trash bin 12 after compaction, the linear drive member pushes the half ring 23 to snap into the ring groove 22, and then the second electromagnet is powered off and the first electromagnet is powered on. At this time, the half ring 23 and the hook 24 are in contact with the pressure hammer 21 and are separated from the support frame 19. The pressure hammer 21 first drives the hook 24 to move down to the edge of the upper end of the trash bin 12.

[0050] Then the lifting drive component drives the pressure hammer 21 and the hook 24 to rise and fall, and the translation vehicle drives the pressure hammer 21 and the hook 24 to translate along the second direction. Then, at this time, the hook 24 provides the garbage bin 12 with a force to lift up and translate along the second direction, so as to assist the garbage bin 12 to flip from a vertical direction to a horizontal direction, so as to reduce the load pressure of the hydraulic loading and unloading system when the transport vehicle transfers the garbage bin 12.

[0051] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Those skilled in the art may make various combinations and modifications to the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention under the guidance of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention.
