Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of garbage treatment, and specifically to a truss robot for a low garbage collection station that can grasp a transfer box. Background Art
[0002] At present, in cities of our country, several trash cans are set at certain intervals, and several trash cans are also set in each residential community at the same time. These trash cans at the front end of the garbage treatment process not only cover a wide area and have a large quantity, but also the amount of garbage they transport is highly random. It may be bulky foam goods, or it may be items that are small in volume but heavy in weight. And landfills, incineration treatment plants or large transfer stations at the back end of the garbage treatment process are all located far away from the urban area. Therefore, it is impossible to directly transport the trash cans at the front end of the treatment process to the garbage treatment plants at the back end of the treatment process. Because of this, several garbage collection stations are also arranged in urban street areas; and because urban land is expensive, the area of garbage collection stations is particularly small.
[0003] The basic treatment process of urban garbage at present is as follows: 1) The garbage collection vehicle equipped at the garbage collection station travels along a specified route, collects the garbage in the trash cans along the way into the garbage collection vehicle, and then transports it to the garbage collection station.
[0004] 2) At the garbage collection station, first, the garbage collected by each garbage collection vehicle is gathered together, compressed by a compression treatment device and loaded into a garbage transfer box, and then a hook-arm vehicle transports the full transfer box from the garbage collection station to the garbage treatment plant.
[0005] 3) The hook-arm vehicle first places the empty transfer box pulled back from the garbage back-end treatment plant at the non-compression work station (empty box position) of the garbage collection station, then pulls the full transfer box at the compression work station of the garbage collection station to an open space outside the garbage collection station for caching. Then the hook-arm vehicle transports the empty transfer box at the empty box position to the compression work station, and finally pulls away the full transfer box.
[0006] The main disadvantages of this operation method are: the labor intensity of sanitation workers is high, the efficiency is low, and it also has a certain impact on the lives of nearby residents.
[0007] Therefore, in recent years, the construction of garbage collection stations has tended to complete the transfer of empty transfer boxes between the empty box position and the compression position indoors. However, the existing technologies all complete it through a ground conveying device. But the ground conveying device is sometimes blocked by garbage. In this case, manual treatment is required, and the operators often have negative emotions because of this. Its main disadvantages are: the equipment in the garbage collection station occupies a large area, is prone to corrosion, and the working environment is not very friendly. Summary of the Invention
