Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of garbage treatment, in particular to a vertical garbage transfer station and an operation method thereof. BACKGROUND ART

[0002] In foundation pit type vertical garbage transfer stations, there are two process forms: same-side level-in level-out and opposite-side level-in level-out. For opposite-side level-in level-out, the discharging hall and the transfer hall are at the same height and respectively located on both sides of the foundation pit, and garbage collection vehicles and container transfer vehicles operate on the two sides respectively; for same-side level-in level-out, the discharging hall and the transfer hall are located on the same side of the foundation pit, and garbage collection vehicles and container transfer vehicles operate in the same hall. Meanwhile, garbage container transfer vehicles matched with foundation pit type vertical garbage transfer stations are usually of three types: hydraulic traction type, steel wire rope traction type and hook-arm type. When matched with a hook-arm type compartment garbage truck, the transfer vehicle can be shared with transfer vehicles of some user's horizontal split fixed garbage transfer stations, there is no need to purchase new transfer vehicles, and one vehicle can be adapted to various forms of garbage stations, which has considerable economic benefits.

[0003] Among the above, the same-side level-in level-out process in which the discharging hall and the transfer hall are located on the same side of the foundation pit has gradually become a preferred process due to its smaller building area. When the process is matched with a hook-arm type detachable-compartment garbage truck, the garbage discharging chute can usually only be flipped laterally or flipped rearward along with the flipping mechanism. Adopting the lateral flipping form usually greatly increases the spacing between adjacent compression stations, increases the building area, and causes splashing and dust raising during discharging at adjacent stations, resulting in poor sealing of the berth space environment. However, adopting the form of rearward flipping along with the flipping mechanism has potential safety hazards of impact on the structure when the vehicle places the container horizontally, and has spatial interference with the compactor when there are multiple compression stations, which affects the compactor shuttling between berths and reduces operation efficiency. Meanwhile, if the container flipping mechanism used in opposite-side level-in level-out transfer stations is adopted, it will have spatial interference with the discharging chute itself, and there is also spatial interference between the discharging chute and the garbage transfer vehicle, which cannot meet the use requirements of the same-side level-in level-out garbage transfer station matched with a hook-arm type transfer vehicle. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The present application provides a vertical garbage transfer station and an operation method thereof, which enables garbage transfer vehicles and garbage collection vehicles to enter and exit horizontally on the same side and reduces the floor area of equipment on the premise of avoiding structural interference.

[0005] A first aspect of the present application provides a vertical garbage transfer station, comprising: a house body, which is provided with foundation pits and a compactor aisle, the number of the foundation pits is plural, and the compactor aisle is communicated with the foundation pits; a transfer and discharging station, which is located at the front side of the foundation pit; a lifting mechanism, which is arranged in the foundation pit and is provided with a lifting platform capable of moving vertically; A tilting mechanism is installed on the lifting platform and is equipped with a tilting platform that can be tilted. The tilting platform is used to position the garbage bin. The middle part of the tilting platform is hinged to the lifting platform, and the rear side of the tilting mechanism is the force-bearing rotation end. A chute mechanism is installed on the lifting platform and is equipped with a lifting frame and a discharge chute. The lifting frame is installed on the lifting platform, and the discharge chute is located above the front side of the tilting platform. The rear side of the discharge chute is hinged to the lifting frame and can rotate around the lifting frame. The overhead track compactor is movably installed in the compactor passage and moves through the compactor passage to different foundation pits.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this step are as follows: The lifting mechanism, tilting mechanism, and chute mechanism are integrated into a single working unit. The lifting mechanism drives the tilting mechanism, chute mechanism, and garbage bin to switch between the feeding and compression position and the bin placement and retrieval position, avoiding the need to install the chute mechanism on the foundation and reducing the equipment's footprint. The lifting frame lifts the chute mechanism entirely off the surface of the lifting platform, reserving sufficient passage space for the garbage bin to enter and exit the tilting platform without interfering with the bin's movement. Combined with the tilting platform's centrally hinged rotating design, the top of the garbage bin positioned on the tilting platform can smoothly and stably connect with the unloading chute. With the lifting mechanism lowering the entire structure into the pit, garbage collection trucks and garbage transfer trucks can share the same workstation to complete garbage dumping and garbage bin transfer operations, achieving a same-side, horizontal entry and exit transfer process. This effectively solves the problems of large footprint and complex processes in traditional garbage transfer stations.

[0007] Based on the above embodiments, the embodiments of this application can be further improved as follows: In one embodiment of this application: the lifting mechanism further includes: a guide column and a lifting drive component. The guide column is vertically disposed in the pit, and the lifting platform is movably disposed on the guide column. The lifting drive component is transmissionally connected to the lifting platform and is used to drive the lifting platform to move. The beneficial effect of this step is that the guide column, vertically disposed in the pit, provides a guiding foundation for the lifting platform, and the lifting drive component directly drives the lifting platform to move along the guide column, realizing the displacement function of the garbage bin in the height direction.

[0008] In one embodiment of this application, the lifting mechanism further includes a lifting pin assembly, which is disposed on the lifting platform and used to insert into the positioning structure corresponding to the guide column. The beneficial effect of this step is that the lifting pin assembly, inserted into the positioning structure of the guide column, securely locks the lifting platform at critical work positions, preventing displacement due to gravity or impact. This locking structure provides a stable positioning basis for the flipping and compaction processes.

[0009] In one embodiment of this application: the lifting platform has a tilting support at the rear and a tilting receiving part at the front. The tilting support is equipped with first tilting drive seats on both sides, and the tilting receiving part is equipped with first tilting hinge seats and chute mounting seats on both sides. The first tilting drive seats are used to install components that drive the tilting platform to tilt. The tilting platform is hinged to the first tilting hinge seats in the middle, and the chute mounting seats are used to install the lifting frame. The beneficial effects of this step are: the tilting support at the rear and the tilting receiving part at the front of the lifting platform are respectively used to support the tilting platform in its horizontal and vertical states. The tilting hinge structure in the middle of the tilting platform reduces the tilting radius and enables the garbage bin opening to tilt upwards and connect with the chute, allowing the lower end to enter the pit. That is, while reducing the size of the equipment, multiple mechanisms can coordinate to achieve the function of the transfer vehicle and collection vehicle entering and exiting horizontally on the same side.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application: the flipping mechanism further includes a flipping drive component, wherein a second flipping hinge seat is disposed in the middle of the flipping platform and a second flipping drive seat is disposed at the rear side, the second flipping hinge seat is hinged to the first flipping hinge seat, and the flipping drive component is connected to the first flipping drive seat and the second flipping drive seat. The beneficial effect of this step is that the flipping drive component connects the first flipping drive seat and the second flipping drive seat, realizing the function of driving the flipping platform to rotate around the central hinge point.

[0011] In one embodiment of this application: the tilting mechanism further includes a lifting device and a locking device. Both the lifting device and the locking device are installed on the tilting platform. The lifting device is drively connected to the garbage bin and is used to drive the garbage bin to move along the tilting platform. The locking device is limited by the front end of the garbage bin and is used to position the front end of the garbage bin on the tilting platform. The beneficial effect of this step is that when the garbage bin is vertical, the lifting device drives the garbage bin to move up and down horizontally, which can avoid interference between the garbage bin and the bottom structure of the pit during tilting. The locking device, limited by the front end of the garbage bin, prevents the bin from slipping during tilting or lifting.

[0012] In one embodiment of this application: the chute mechanism further includes a chute drive component; the upper end of the lifting frame has a rearwardly extending section; the rear side of the extending section is hinged to the unloading chute, positioning the unloading chute directly above the tipping receiving portion; and the middle part of the unloading chute is connected to the chute drive component. The beneficial effects of this step are: the hinged connection between the rear extension of the lifting frame and the unloading chute positions the unloading chute directly above the tipping receiving portion, shortening the turning radius; the chute drive component controls the lifting of the front side of the unloading chute, avoiding interference when the garbage bin enters or exits; this structure not only improves the movement response speed and stability of the unloading chute, but also significantly reduces the berth spacing and building area compared to traditional side-tilting schemes.

[0013] In one embodiment of this application: an XY-axis limiting structure and a Z-axis tilting adjustment structure are respectively configured between the lifting platform and the tilting platform; an X-axis limiting structure and a Z-axis chute adjustment structure are configured between the unloading chute and the lifting frame. The beneficial effects of this step are: the XY-axis limiting structure and the Z-axis tilting adjustment structure improve the accuracy and stability of the tilting platform's positioning, facilitating the entry and exit of the waste bin from the tilting platform; the X-axis limiting structure and the Z-axis chute adjustment structure ensure the chute's docking accuracy.

[0014] In one embodiment of this application: barriers are installed on both sides of the pit, an openable and closable door is installed at the rear of the pit, and a support frame is installed at the bottom of the pit. The beneficial effects of this step are: the barriers and door shield the compression environment from the outside, reducing the impact of waste disposal operations on the external environment; the support frame prevents the waste bin from directly impacting the bottom of the pit and improves the stability of the waste bin's positioning.

[0015] The second aspect of this application provides an operating method for a vertical waste transfer station, which includes the following steps: S1. The lifting mechanism raises the tilting mechanism and the chute mechanism to the first position, and the front side of the unloading chute is raised upward; S2. The garbage truck places the garbage container into the tipping mechanism at the transfer and unloading station; S3. The lifting mechanism drives the tilting mechanism, garbage bin and chute mechanism to descend to the second position. The tilting mechanism tilts the garbage bin to an upright position and places the garbage bin on the support frame in the pit. The rear door of the garbage bin opens and the unloading chute tilts to dock with the garbage bin. S4. The gate set at the rear of the foundation pit is closed, forming a three-sided enclosed space with the fences on both sides. The garbage collection truck dumps the garbage into the garbage bin at the transfer and unloading station. S5. When the garbage is poured into the set volume, the door set at the rear of the pit opens, and the pressure hammer in the corresponding ceiling track compactor at the rear of the pit moves to the top of the garbage bin. The pressure hammer moves downward to compact the garbage in the garbage bin. The door remains open during the garbage compression process. S6. Repeat step S5 several times until the garbage bin is full. Then, the hammer is removed from above the garbage bin, the unloading chute is flipped to separate from the garbage bin, and the rear door of the bin is closed. S7. The tipping mechanism lifts and tilts the garbage bin to a flat position, and the lifting mechanism raises the tipping mechanism, garbage bin and chute mechanism to the first position; S8. The garbage truck pulls the garbage bin away from the tipping mechanism.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the above embodiments are as follows: the operation method, through the linkage of lifting, flipping and chute mechanism, realizes that garbage transfer vehicle and collection vehicle enter and exit on the same side. In the whole process, the movement trajectories of each mechanism avoid each other and work together, which not only eliminates the spatial interference between garbage bin and unloading chute, but also realizes the precise docking of the two. It also makes the chute mechanism not need to occupy additional foundation space. The vertical movement of the chute mechanism can also avoid interference with the pressure hammer, improve the usability of the transfer station and significantly reduce the area occupied by the transfer station.

[0022] Example 1 like Figure 1-10As shown, a vertical waste transfer station includes: a housing 1, a transfer and unloading station 2, a lifting mechanism 3, a tilting mechanism 4, a chute mechanism 5, and a ceiling-mounted compactor 6. The housing 1 has several pits 101 and compactor passageways 102 connected to each other. The transfer and unloading station 2 is located in front of the pits 101. The lifting mechanism 3 is located within the pits 101 and includes a vertically movable lifting platform 301. The tilting mechanism 4 is installed on the lifting platform 301 and includes a tilting platform 401. The tilting platform 401 is used for... The tilting platform 401 is hinged to the lifting platform 301 in the middle of the positioning garbage bin. The rear side of the tilting mechanism 4 is the force-bearing rotating end. The chute mechanism 5 is installed on the lifting platform 301 and is equipped with a lifting frame 501 and a discharge chute 502. The lifting frame 501 is installed on the lifting platform 301. The discharge chute 502 is located above the front side of the tilting platform 401. The rear side of the discharge chute 502 is hinged to the lifting frame 501 and can rotate around it. The overhead track compactor 6 is movably installed in the compactor passage 102 and moves to different pits 101 above it through the compactor passage 102.

[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the building 1 is a frame structure. Several pits 101 are arranged in sequence at intervals on the front side of the building 1. The pits 101 are unloading and compression stations. A compactor passageway 102 is arranged on the rear side of the pits 101 along the direction of the pits 101. The overhead rail compactor 6 moves to the unloading and compression station where it needs to work to compact the garbage in the garbage bin.

[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the lifting mechanism 3 also includes: a guide column 302 and a lifting drive component 303. The guide column 302 is vertically arranged in the pit 101. The lifting platform 301 is movably arranged on the guide column 302. The lifting drive component 303 is connected to the lifting platform 301 and is used to drive the lifting platform 301 to move vertically. The guide column 302 is vertically arranged in the pit 101 to provide a guiding foundation for the lifting platform 301. The lifting drive component 303 directly drives the lifting platform 301 to move along the guide column 302, realizing the displacement function of the garbage bin in the height direction.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , 4As shown, a base is provided at the lower end of the guide column 302. The lifting drive component 303 is a hydraulic cylinder. Each guide column 302 is provided with a parallel lifting drive component 303. The piston rod of the lifting drive component 303 is hinged to the base, and the cylinder is hinged to the lifting platform 301. Guide structures 304 are provided at the four corners of the lifting platform 301 corresponding to the guide columns 302. The guide structures 304 can form a sliding or rolling engagement with the guide columns 302. Taking the rolling engagement as an example, rollers are provided on two adjacent sides of the lifting platform 301 facing the guide columns 302, and the rollers are rolled on the guide columns 302.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the lifting mechanism 3 also includes a lifting pin assembly 305, which is disposed on the lifting platform 301 and used to insert into the positioning structure 306 corresponding to the guide column 302. The lifting pin assembly 305 is inserted into the positioning structure 306 of the guide column 302, so that the lifting platform 301 is firmly locked at the critical work position to prevent displacement due to gravity or impact. This locking structure provides a stable positioning foundation for the flipping and compaction processes.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the lifting pin assembly 305 is disposed at the four corners of the lifting platform 301 and corresponds one-to-one with the four guide posts 302. The guide posts 302 have two positioning holes 306 vertically. The lifting pin assembly 305 includes: a pin drive 307 and a lifting pin 308. The lifting pin 308 is slidably disposed on the lifting platform 301 and connected to the pin drive 307. The pin drive 307 adopts a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, and the piston rod pushes the pin to move. When the pin is inserted into the positioning hole 306, the lifting platform 301 is positioned at different heights.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , 4As shown, the lifting platform 301 has a tilting support 309 at the rear and a tilting receiving part 310 at the front. The tilting support 309 has first tilting drive seats 311 on both sides, and the tilting receiving part 310 has first tilting hinge seats 312 and chute mounting seats 313 on both sides. The first tilting drive seats 311 are used to install components that drive the tilting platform 401 to tilt. The tilting platform 401 is hinged to the first tilting hinge seats 312 in the middle, and the chute mounting seats 313 are used to install the lifting frame 501. The tilting support 309 at the rear and the tilting receiving part 310 at the front of the lifting platform 301 are used to support the tilting platform 401 in its horizontal and vertical states, respectively. The tilting platform 401 has a tilting hinge structure in the middle, which reduces the tilting radius and allows the garbage bin opening to tilt upwards and connect with the chute, with the lower end entering the pit 101. This allows multiple mechanisms to coordinate and operate while minimizing the equipment size, enabling the transfer vehicle and collection vehicle to enter and exit horizontally on the same side.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , 4 As shown, an XY-direction limiting structure 314 and a Z-direction tilting adjustment structure 315 are respectively configured between the lifting platform 301 and the tilting platform 401. The left and right sides of the garbage bin are considered the X-direction, the front and rear sides the Y-direction, and the Z-direction the height direction. The XY-direction limiting structure 314 includes a locking block and a limiting plate. The locking block is located in the middle of the rear side of the lifting platform 301 and has a V-shaped groove along the X-direction. The lower rear side of the tilting platform 401 has a protrusion that matches the V-shaped groove. When the protrusion is inserted into the V-shaped groove, the tilting platform 401 is limited in the Y-direction. The limiting plates are located on both sides of the rear side of the lifting platform 301. When the tilting platform 401 is lying flat, its rear frame structure rests between the limiting plates, which limit the tilting platform 401 to prevent it from swaying left and right. The Z-axis tilting adjustment structure 315 includes a support member, the lower end of which is threadedly connected to the lifting platform 301, and the head at the upper end of the support member supporting the rear side of the tilting platform 401. By adjusting the threaded connection position between the support member and the lifting platform 301, the height of the support member can be adjusted, thereby realizing the function of adjusting the angle of the tilting platform 401.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , 5 As shown, the flipping mechanism 4 further includes a flipping drive component 402. A second flipping hinge seat 403 is disposed in the middle of the flipping platform 401, and a second flipping drive seat 404 is disposed at the rear. The second flipping hinge seat 403 is hinged to the first flipping hinge seat 312. The flipping drive component 402 is connected to the first flipping drive seat 311 and the second flipping drive seat 404. The flipping drive component 402 connects the first flipping drive seat 311 and the second flipping drive seat 404, thereby driving the flipping platform 401 to rotate around the central hinge point.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , 5 As shown, the tilting drive 402 is a hydraulic cylinder. One end of the tilting drive 402 is hinged to the first tilting drive seat 311, and the other end is hinged to the second tilting drive seat 404. The first tilting hinge seat 312 and the second tilting hinge seat 403 are hinged together by a pin. The tilting drive 402 drives the tilting platform 401 to rotate around the hinge point.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 5 , 6 As shown in Figure 7, the tilting mechanism 4 also includes a lifting device 405 and a locking device 406. Both the lifting device 405 and the locking device 406 are installed on the tilting platform 401. The lifting device 405 is connected to the garbage bin via a transmission and is used to drive the garbage bin to move along the tilting platform 401. The locking device 406 is connected to the front end of the garbage bin for limiting its position and is used to position the front end of the garbage bin on the tilting platform 401. When the garbage bin is in a vertical position, the lifting device 405 drives the garbage bin to move up and down horizontally, which can prevent the garbage bin from interfering with the bottom structure of the pit 101 during the tilting process. The locking device 406 is connected to the front end of the garbage bin for limiting its position and preventing the bin from sliding during the tilting or lifting process.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the rear side of the tilting platform 401 is equipped with a stop 407 and a limiting seat 408. There are two limiting seats 408 located on both sides of the tilting platform 401, and the stop 407 is located between the limiting seats 408. The limiting seat 408 is equipped with a notch structure. The lower rear side of the garbage bin is equipped with a roller and a guide wheel that are coaxially arranged. The roller is used to roll on the tilting platform 401, and the stop 407 is used to block the roller to ensure that the garbage bin moves into place. When the roller contacts the stop 407, the guide wheel enters the notch structure and is limited by the limiting seat 408 to prevent the rear end of the garbage bin from separating from the tilting platform 401 during the tilting process.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, a lifting device 405 is configured in the central opening of the tilting platform 401. The lifting device 405 includes: a slide 409, a first drive member 410, a second drive member 411, and a locking hook 412. The slide 409 is movably disposed in the opening along the direction of the garbage bin's entry and exit. For example, rollers or sliders are configured on both sides of the slide 409. The rollers are rotatably disposed in guide grooves configured inside the opening, or the sliders are slidably disposed in guide grooves. The locking hook 412 is hinged to the slide 409, and the hook groove of the locking hook 412 is disposed facing the rear side of the lifting platform 301. The first drive member 410 and the second drive member 411 can be used for... A hydraulic cylinder or pneumatic cylinder is used. The first driving component 410 is connected between the slide 409 and the tilting platform 401. The first driving component 410 drives the slide 409 to move. The second driving component 411 is connected between the slide 409 and the locking hook 412. The second driving component 411 drives the locking hook 412 to rotate. The locking hook 412 can be retracted into the slide 409 to avoid interfering with the movement of the garbage bin. The bottom of the garbage bin is equipped with a locking bar. When the garbage bin needs to be positioned on the tilting platform 401, the second driving component 411 drives the locking hook 412 to rotate upward from the slide 409 until the locking hook 412 hooks the locking bar.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the locking device 406 includes a locking drive 413 and a locking pin 414. The locking device 406 is located on the front side of the tilting platform 401. The locking drive 413 is installed on the tilting platform 401 and is connected to the locking pin 414. The locking pin 414 is slidably disposed on the tilting platform 401 and moves along the X direction. A strip groove is opened on the outer side of the front end of the bottom longitudinal beam of the garbage bin. The pin is inserted into the strip groove to limit the front end of the garbage bin. At the same time, the strip groove provides sufficient space for the garbage bin to move forward and backward under the drive of the lifting device 405.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the chute mechanism 5 also includes a chute drive component 503. An extension section is arranged rearward at the upper end of the lifting frame 501, and the rear side of the extension section is hinged to the unloading chute 502, positioning the unloading chute 502 directly above the tilting receiving portion 310. The middle part of the unloading chute 502 is connected to the chute drive component 503. The front side of the unloading chute 502 is raised to avoid the garbage bin, preventing interference with the bin's entry and exit. Simultaneously, it shortens the turning radius of the unloading chute 502, improving the stability and responsiveness of the unloading chute 502's movement.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the chute drive 503 is a hydraulic cylinder. One end of the chute drive 503 is hinged to the middle of the lifting frame 501, and the other end is hinged to the side of the unloading chute 502. The rear extension of the lifting frame 501 is hinged to the unloading chute 502, so that the unloading chute 502 is positioned directly above the tilting and receiving part 310.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, an X-axis limiting structure 504 and a Z-axis chute adjusting structure 505 are configured between the unloading chute 502 and the lifting frame 501. The X-axis limiting structure 504 includes a first baffle and a second baffle. The first baffle is installed on the side of the lifting frame 501, and the second baffle is installed on the side of the unloading chute 502. When the unloading chute 502 is in a flat position, the first baffle limits the movement outside the second baffle to prevent the unloading chute 502 from swaying left and right. The Z-axis chute adjusting structure 505 is the same as the Z-axis tilting adjusting structure 315. The Z-axis chute adjusting structure 505 adjusts the angle of the unloading chute 502 when it is lowered, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the unloading chute 502.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, fencing 7, made of corrugated steel sheets, is installed on both sides of the pit 101. A roller shutter door 8, which can be opened and closed, is installed at the rear of the pit 101. The fencing 7 and the door 8 shield the compression environment inside, reducing the impact of waste disposal operations on the external environment.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a support frame 9 is installed at the bottom of the pit 101. The support frame 9 is used to support the garbage bin in a vertical position. The support frame 9 prevents the garbage bin from directly impacting the bottom of the pit 101, thus improving the stability of the garbage bin's positioning.

[0041] Specifically, the overhead track compactor 6 is an existing product. For details, please refer to a patent application filed by the applicant on March 18, 2025, entitled "An Overhead Track Compactor," publication number CN224170554U. Its principle is that the mother car, carrying the daughter car and the compactor hammer, moves to the rear of the unloading and compression station where the compactor hammer needs to work. The roller shutter door opens, the daughter car separates from the mother car, and the daughter car drives the compactor hammer above the unloading and compression station, where the compactor hammer compresses the garbage in the garbage bin. After the compression operation is completed, the daughter car, carrying the compactor hammer, returns to the mother car. Since the overhead track compactor 6 is prior art, it will not be described in detail here.

[0042] The lifting mechanism 3, tilting mechanism 4, and chute mechanism 5 are integrated into a single working unit. The lifting mechanism 3 drives the tilting mechanism 4, chute mechanism 5, and garbage bin to switch between the feeding and compression position and the bin placement and retrieval position, eliminating the need for a connecting structure for the chute mechanism 5 on the foundation and reducing the equipment's footprint. The lifting frame 501 lifts the chute mechanism 5 off the surface of the lifting platform 301, providing sufficient passage space for the garbage bin to enter and exit the tilting platform 401 without interfering with the bin's entry and exit. Combined with the rotating form of the tilting platform 401 with its central hinge, the top of the garbage bin positioned on the tilting platform 401 can smoothly and stably connect with the unloading chute 502. With the lifting mechanism 3 lowering the entire structure into the pit 101, garbage collection trucks and garbage transfer trucks can share the same workstation to complete garbage dumping and garbage bin transfer operations, achieving a same-side horizontal entry and exit transfer process, effectively solving the problems of large footprint and complex process flow in traditional garbage transfer stations.

[0043] Example 2 An operational method for a vertical waste transfer station, employing the vertical waste transfer station disclosed in Example 1, includes the following steps: S1. The lifting mechanism 3 raises the tilting mechanism 4 and the chute mechanism 5 to the first position, and the front side of the unloading chute 502 is raised upward; S2. The garbage truck places the garbage container into the tipping mechanism 4 at the transfer and unloading station 2; S3. The lifting mechanism 3 drives the tilting mechanism 4, garbage bin and chute mechanism 5 to descend to the second position. The tilting mechanism 4 tilts the garbage bin to an upright position and places the garbage bin in the pit 101. The rear door of the garbage bin (i.e. the door at the top of the garbage bin when it is in a vertical position) opens, and the unloading chute 502 tilts to dock with the garbage bin. S4. The gate 8 set at the rear of the foundation pit 101 is closed, forming a three-sided enclosed space with the side fences 7. The garbage collection truck dumps the garbage into the garbage bin at the transfer and unloading station 2. S5. When the garbage is poured into the set volume (e.g., when it reaches 2 / 3 of the volume), the door set at the rear of the pit 101 opens, and the pressure hammer in the corresponding ceiling track compactor 6 at the rear of the pit 101 moves to the top of the garbage bin. The pressure hammer moves downward to compact the garbage in the garbage bin. The door 8 remains open during the garbage compression process. S6. Repeat step S5 several times until the garbage bin is full. Then, the hammer is removed from above the garbage bin, the unloading chute 502 is flipped to separate from the garbage bin, and the rear door of the bin is closed. S7. The tipping mechanism 4 lifts the garbage bin and flips it to a flat position, and the lifting mechanism 3 raises the tipping mechanism 4, the garbage bin and the chute mechanism 5 to the first position; S8. The garbage truck pulls the garbage bin away from the tipping mechanism 4.

[0044] This operating method, through the coordinated operation of lifting, tilting and chute mechanisms, enables garbage trucks and collection vehicles to enter and exit on the same side. In the overall process, the movement trajectories of each mechanism avoid each other and work together, which not only eliminates the spatial interference between the garbage bin and the unloading chute 502, but also achieves precise docking between the two. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for the chute mechanism 5 to occupy additional foundation space. The vertical movement of the chute mechanism 5 can also avoid interference with the pressure hammer, improving the usability of the transfer station and significantly reducing the area occupied by the transfer station.
