DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] like Figure 1-11 The figure shows a clamping and dumping separation device described in this embodiment, which is particularly suitable for separating garbage bags and garbage inside garbage bags during kitchen waste treatment. The clamping and dumping separation device includes a support seat 5, a storage assembly, a flip drive mechanism 3, a clamping drive assembly, a swing arm 6, a swing arm drive mechanism and other components or mechanisms. Among them, the support seat 5 is fixed on the above-mentioned swing arm 6, and the swing arm drive mechanism is connected to the swing arm 6 by transmission to drive the swing arm 6 to move. In this embodiment, the swing arm 6 is driven by the swing arm drive mechanism so that it can swing back and forth in the horizontal direction, thereby driving the support seat 5 to move. The above-mentioned swing arm drive mechanism is a conventional mechanism in the prior art, such as a gear transmission mechanism.

[0038] The aforementioned storage assembly is installed on the support seat 5, and the storage assembly has a rotation center axis extending along the first direction, and has a motion path that rotates around the rotation center axis and moves between the loading position and the dumping position. In this embodiment, the first direction is perpendicular to the center axis of the flipping drive mechanism 3, and at the same time, the first direction and the center axis of the flipping mechanism 3 are located in the same plane or respectively located on two planes parallel to each other. Specifically, the storage assembly includes components such as a rotating shaft 2, a rotating bracket 1, a storage plate 11, and a clamp 12. The aforementioned rotation center axis is formed on the rotating shaft 2. The extension directions of the two ends of the rotating bracket 1 are parallel to the first direction. The rotating bracket 1 is fixed on the rotating shaft 2, and the bottom surface of the storage plate 11 is fixedly connected to the rotating bracket 1. A storage space is formed inside the storage plate 11 to place garbage to be processed.

[0039] The two clamping jaws 12 are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction and are located outside the bottom of the storage tray 11. The two clamping jaws 12 are respectively installed with guide members 13 by bolts. Guide holes are processed at both ends of the rotating bracket 1. The guide member 13 is plugged into the guide hole along the first direction, so that the guide member 13 and the clamping jaw 12 as a whole can slide back and forth along the first direction relative to the rotating bracket 1. Two notches are processed on the bottom surface of the storage tray 11. The two clamping jaws 12 are movably inserted into the notches so that the two clamping jaws 12 have clamping ends extending into the storage tray 11. A clamping space is formed in the storage tray 11 between the clamping ends of the two clamping jaws 12. When the two clamping jaws 12 move closer to each other, they can clamp the garbage bag located in the storage tray 11. The clamping end of the above-mentioned clamping jaw 12 is a flat and long structure, which is provided with saw teeth, and the clamping ends of the two clamping jaws 12 are arranged parallel to each other. The structure of the clamping end of the clamping claw 12 can improve the clamping accuracy of the garbage bag and reduce the amount of garbage remaining in the garbage bag after dumping.

[0040] The aforementioned flip driving mechanism 3 is installed on the support seat 5, and is connected to the storage assembly in a transmission manner to drive the storage assembly as a whole to move back and forth between the loading position and the dumping position. When the storage assembly is driven to move to the aforementioned loading position, the storage tray 11 is arranged horizontally to be able to carry the garbage to be processed. And when the storage assembly is driven to move to the aforementioned dumping position, the aforementioned storage tray 11 is arranged tilted to be able to completely dump the garbage out of the storage tray 11. The tilt angle of the storage tray 11 is determined according to the actual design.

[0041] In this embodiment, the flip driving mechanism 3 is a rotary motor, and the extension direction of the central axis of the rotary motor is perpendicular to the first direction. The flip driving mechanism 3 is connected to the rotating shaft 2 through a worm gear transmission, so as to vertically transmit the rotation direction of the rotary motor to the rotating shaft 2. In other embodiments of the present application, the worm gear structure can also be replaced by a gear transmission structure, a gear rack transmission structure, a chain sprocket transmission structure or a pulley transmission structure.

[0042] In other preferred embodiments of the present application, the flip driving mechanism 3 may also be a linear motor, and the rotation direction and rotation speed of the rotating shaft may be controlled by a rocker structure.

[0043] In this embodiment, the aforementioned clamping drive assembly includes a linkage 41 and a clamping drive mechanism 4. The linkage 41 is a flat plate structure, and the linkage 41 is arranged corresponding to each clamping jaw 12. The linkage 41 is linked to the clamping jaw 12 to have a connection state that limits the movement of the clamping jaw 12 relative to the linkage 41 in the first direction and allows the clamping jaw 12 to move relative to the linkage 41 along the motion path. Through the above structural design, when the linkage 41 moves along the first direction, it can drive the clamping jaw 12 to move along the first direction, and the linkage 41 will not interfere with the rotation and movement of the entire storage assembly between the loading position and the dumping position. The aforementioned clamping drive mechanism 4 is installed on the support seat 5, and the clamping drive mechanism 4 is connected to the linkage 41, and is used to drive the linkages 41 on both sides to approach or move away from each other in the first direction in the connection state. Through the drive of the clamping drive mechanism 4, the linkages 41 on both sides can be driven to approach or move away from each other, and then the clamping jaws 12 on both sides can be driven to approach or move away from each other.

[0044] In this embodiment, the linkage member 41 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 2 so as to be able to move back and forth along the first direction on the rotating shaft 2, and an avoidance groove 411 is processed on the linkage member 41 corresponding to the movement path of the guide member 13. The two ends of the avoidance groove 411 are closed and arranged, and the avoidance groove 411 is an arc structure, and its center is located on the rotation center axis of the rotating shaft 2. When the aforementioned guide member 13 is plugged and matched with the guide hole on the aforementioned rotating bracket 1, it is simultaneously movable and inserted into the avoidance groove 411 along the first direction. When the storage assembly moves between the loading position and the dumping position, the guide member 13 moves synchronously in the avoidance groove 411. Stop structures 131 are processed on both sides of the linkage member 41 on the guide member 13. Through the stop structure 131, the linkage member 41 can be limited from moving in the first direction. In this embodiment, a step structure is processed at a predetermined position on the guide member 13. When the guide member 13 is inserted into the avoidance groove 411, a part of the clamping jaw 12 forms a stop structure 131 on one side of the linkage member 41, and the step structure on the guide member 13 forms a stop structure 131 on the other side of the linkage member 41. In a specific structural design, the aforementioned stop structure 131 can also be two latches inserted on the guide member 13 to limit the linkage member 41 between the two latches.

[0045] Among them, the clamping and clamping drive mechanism 4 has two linearly movable driving ends. The two driving ends are synchronously close to or away from each other. The aforementioned linkage 41 is fixed on the driving end of the clamping drive mechanism 4 on the corresponding side. Specifically, the aforementioned clamping drive mechanism 4 includes a rack, a driving gear, and a driving motor. The two sets of racks are installed on the support seat 5 through a slide groove so as to be able to move back and forth along the first direction on the support seat 5. The two sets of jaws 12 are fixedly connected to the corresponding set of racks through a connecting member. When the two racks slide synchronously toward or away from each other, the two jaws 12 are brought closer to or away from each other. The aforementioned driving gear is installed on the support seat 5 and meshes with the two racks. The driving motor is installed on the support seat 5, and its driving end is connected to the driving gear. Through the drive of the driving motor, the driving gear is driven to rotate, thereby driving the two racks to move closer to or away from each other, thereby driving the two jaws 12 to move closer to or away from each other. In this embodiment, the clamping drive mechanism 4 can also be a bidirectional movable cylinder or two electric push rods in the prior art.

[0046] In order to adapt to the use environment of garbage disposal and consider the service life of the overall structure, a sealing structure is installed at the rotation connection between the rotating shaft 2 and the support seat 5. The sealing structure is preferably a skeleton oil seal in the prior art, and can also be sealed by a packing seal. The sealing of the sealing structure prevents sewage and the like from entering the support seat 5 from the connection between the rotating shaft 2 and the support seat 5.

[0047] When in use, the storage assembly moves to the loading position, and the storage tray 11 is in a horizontal state so as to be able to carry the garbage to be processed. The clamping drive mechanism 4 drives the linkage members 41 on both sides to approach each other, so as to drive the clamping claws 12 on both sides to approach each other, so as to clamp and fix the garbage bag in the storage tray 11. The flipping drive mechanism 3 drives the storage assembly to the dumping position, and the storage tray 11 is in an inclined state, so as to dump the garbage in the storage tray 11, thereby realizing the separation of the garbage and the garbage bag. In the above method, the operation is simple and efficient, and the separation of the garbage bag and the garbage is automatically realized without manual contact for separation operation. The linkage member 41 and the clamping claw 12 cooperate with each other, and the rotation process of the storage assembly and the clamping and loosening process of the clamping claw 12 are independent of each other and will not interfere with each other. The support seat 5 centrally bears the load brought by the storage assembly and the like in the operation, and has a strong garbage carrying capacity, a compact overall structure, stable and reliable operation, strong environmental adaptability, and effectively meets the needs of garbage classification. At the same time, flipping the storage tray in a "forward flip" manner can avoid interference with the side walls of the trash can when flipping left or right, reduce the installation size of the overall device, and meet the needs of flat scenes.

[0048] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
