Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intelligent automatic garbage disposal, in particular to an intelligent garbage disposal system for a sweeper linked to a garbage bin. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the field of cleaning and sanitation technology, when a sweeper needs to dump garbage into a trash can, the trash can is usually manually fixed in a place first, and then the vehicle is manually controlled to reach the vicinity of the trash can. The distance between the sweeper and the trash can is usually judged by the human eye, but the human eye's judgment of the distance usually produces errors. If the distance is a little farther or a little closer, the garbage will be dumped outside the trash can, thereby increasing the workload.

[0003] At the same time, since the garbage bins are equipped with garbage bin lids to prevent the odor of garbage in the garbage bins from spreading, when the sweeper dumps garbage into the garbage bin, it is necessary to manually control the vehicle to reach the vicinity of the garbage bin, then get off the vehicle to open the garbage bin lid, and then get back on the vehicle to dump the garbage. This is not only inefficient, but also will cause the staff to smell the odor of garbage when they open the garbage bin lid at a close distance, which has a great impact on the staff's working environment.

[0004] And usually, when the garbage bin is full of garbage, it is generally necessary for people to push it to the designated location at a fixed time to dump the garbage, and then push it back to the original location. When the garbage bin is full in the next cycle, it is pushed over to dump the garbage, and then pushed back to the original location. However, in the process of vehicles dumping garbage into the garbage bin, there are no additional staff to calibrate the position of the vehicle, open the garbage bin lid, direct the staff on the vehicle to dump the garbage, close the garbage lid after completion, and direct the vehicle to leave. This is not only inefficient, time-consuming and labor-intensive, has a poor working environment, wastes manpower, and is cumbersome to operate, but is also easily affected by experience and has low accuracy, and it is very easy for garbage to be dumped outside the garbage bin.

[0005] Therefore the prior art still needs to be improved and enhanced. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a smart garbage dumping system for a sweeper linked to a garbage bin, which has a simple structure, strong automation, and no need for human intervention, and can fully realize the entire process of automatic garbage dumping.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0013] In the intelligent garbage dumping system of the sweeper-linked garbage bin, the electric control box is provided with a communication control chip for receiving signals sent by the vehicle and for controlling the movement of the cover opening mechanism.

[0014] In the intelligent garbage dumping system of the sweeper linked to the garbage bin, a switch mechanism is also provided between the garbage bin and the fixed control device.

[0015] In the intelligent garbage dumping system of the sweeper linked to the garbage bin, distance sensors are arranged on both sides of the fixed control device, and the distance sensors are communicatively connected with the electric control box.

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0033] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "mounted on", "fixed on" or "disposed on" another component, it may be directly on the other component or there may be a central component at the same time. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be a central component at the same time.

[0034] It should also be noted that the directional terms such as left, right, up, and down in the embodiments of the present invention are merely relative concepts or are based on the normal use status of the product and should not be considered as restrictive.

[0035] On the one hand, the utility model provides a cleaning vehicle linked to a garbage bin intelligent garbage dumping system, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 ,include:

[0036] A vehicle 1, wherein the vehicle 1 contains garbage to be dumped;

[0037] A garbage bin 3, used for receiving and storing garbage dumped by the vehicle 1;

[0038] A fixed control device 4, on which an electric control box 5, a fixing mechanism 6 for fixing the trash bin 3, and a cover opening mechanism 7 for opening and closing the trash bin 3 are arranged;

[0039] The trash bin 3 can be movably fixed to the fixing mechanism 6, a power supply device 8 is arranged in the electric control box 5, the vehicle 1 is communicatively connected with the electric control box 5, the electric control box 5 is communicatively connected with the cover opening mechanism 7, and the power supply device 8 is used to supply power to the fixed control device 4.

[0040] Specifically, in one embodiment of the utility model, the vehicle 1 is a garbage truck loaded with garbage or a cleaning truck loaded with garbage. Of course, it can also be an unmanned intelligent cleaning / garbage truck. When the garbage in the vehicle 1 is full, the garbage needs to be poured into a garbage bin. The vehicle 1 moves to the vicinity of the garbage bin 3, and the vehicle 1 establishes a communication connection with the fixed control device 4 via WiFi or Bluetooth.

[0041] Furthermore, the vehicle 1 is provided with a sensor 2 , and the sensor 2 includes a visual camera 21 located at the rear of the vehicle 1 and a roof radar 22 located at the top of the vehicle 1 .

[0042] When the sensor 2 on the vehicle 1 detects that the distance between the rear end of the vehicle 1 and the trash bin 3 reaches a preset distance, in this embodiment, the sensor 2 uses a visual camera 21 located at the rear end of the vehicle 1 (the preset distance can be set in advance according to the size of the vehicle and the size of the trash bin to ensure that the vehicle can completely dump the garbage into the trash bin during the process of dumping the garbage. Preferably, in this embodiment of the utility model, the preset distance is 25 cm) the vehicle 1 sends a control signal to the fixed control device 4, and the fixed control device 4 receives the signal to control the opening mechanism 7 to open the trash bin cover 31 of the trash bin 3.

[0043] For further information, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 The electric control box 5 is provided with a communication control chip (not shown in the figure) for receiving signals sent by the vehicle 1 and for controlling the movement of the cover opening mechanism 7 .

[0044] For further information, see Fig.13 , Fig.14 The cover opening mechanism 7 includes a fixing frame 71, on which a driving mechanism 72 is arranged, and the end of the driving mechanism 72 is connected to a connecting rod mechanism 73, and the end of the connecting rod mechanism 73 is provided with a pull rope mechanism 74 for opening and closing the trash can cover 31, and the pull rope mechanism 74 includes a pull rope 741, a hook 742 fixed to one end of the pull rope 741, and a pull rope retractor 743 for retracting the pull rope 741.

[0045] The fixing frame 71 is arranged in a square structure, which has greater stability. The middle of the square structure of the fixing frame 71 is a hollow structure, which is not only beautiful but also lightens the weight. The driving mechanism 72 is arranged in the hollow structure to reasonably optimize the use space. The connecting rod mechanism 73 passes through the hollow structure, one end of which is fixed to the driving shaft of the driving mechanism 72, and the other end is provided with a pull rope mechanism 74 for opening and closing the trash can cover 31. The pull rope mechanism 74 is connected to the trash can cover 31 through a hook 742. By controlling the driving mechanism 72, the connecting rod mechanism 73 is linked, and the opening and closing of the trash can cover 31 can be conveniently realized through the pull rope mechanism 74.

[0046] For further information, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The fixed control device 4 is provided with an electric control box 5, and a communication control chip is provided in the electric control box 5. After receiving the signal sent by the vehicle 1, the communication control chip sends the signal to the cover opening mechanism 7. The cover opening mechanism 7 receives the signal and performs the cover opening action, thereby opening the trash bin cover 31 of the trash bin 3.

[0047] Furthermore, when the trash bin lid is fully opened, the roof radar 22 on the top of the vehicle 1 detects the distance between the trash bin lid 31 and the rear of the vehicle 1 in real time. When the distance is detected to be unchanged, it means that the trash bin lid 31 has been fully opened and the vehicle 1 can start to dump the trash, thereby preventing the vehicle 1 from dumping the trash immediately when the trash bin lid 31 is opened, thereby avoiding the trash from being dumped outside the trash bin 3.

[0048] Furthermore, when the roof radar 22 detects that the trash bin lid 31 is fully opened, the vehicle 1 starts to dump the garbage. After the garbage in the vehicle 1 is dumped, the vehicle 1 puts away the garbage bucket and sends a control signal to the communication control chip. After receiving the control signal sent by the vehicle 1, the communication control chip sends the control signal to the opening mechanism 7. The opening mechanism 7 receives the signal and performs a closing action, thereby closing the trash bin lid 31 of the trash bin 3. In the embodiment of the utility model, the connection between the opening mechanism 7 and the trash bin lid 31 is a soft (rope, steel wire, etc.) connection. When the garbage in the trash bin 3 is relatively full, the trash bin lid 31 can still be gently covered on it, and the trash bin lid 31 will not be forced to completely cover the trash bin 3, thereby causing damage to the trash bin lid 31 or the trash bin 3.

[0049] At the same time, the vehicle 1 drives away from the garbage bin 3 and disconnects the communication connection with the fixed control device 4, and the fixed control device 4 is in a standby state.

[0050] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the utility model, since the trash bin 3 and the fixed control device 4 are movably fixed, after the trash in the trash bin 3 is full of garbage, it is usually necessary to manually move the trash bin 3 to a garbage disposal station, and pour out the garbage in the trash bin 3, and then move the empty trash bin to the fixed control device 4 and fix it, and at the same time manually connect the trash bin cover 31 with the cover opening mechanism 7 to ensure the normal flow of the entire linkage system.

[0051] Please continue reading Figure 2 A switch mechanism 9 is also provided between the trash bin 3 and the fixed control device 4 .

[0052] See also Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The switch mechanism 9 includes a contact plate 91 , one side of the contact plate 91 is provided with an elastic component 92 , and the other side is used to contact the side of the trash can 3 .

[0053] In order to save power consumption of the fixed control device 4 when there is no trash bin, a switch mechanism 9 is provided. The contact plate 91 is provided in an L-shaped structure to ensure a larger contact area when in contact with the trash bin 3. The elastic component 92 is used to provide a buffering force when the contact plate 91 is contacted and squeezed by the trash bin 3, and at the same time, provide a rebound force when the trash bin 3 leaves.

[0054] Please continue reading Fig. 9 and Fig.10 A first contact switch 93 is arranged next to the elastic component 92, and the switch mechanism 9 also includes a connecting plate 94, one side of the connecting plate 94 is electrically connected to the electric control box 5, and the other side of the connecting plate 94 is fixed with a second contact switch 95 that matches the first contact switch 93. One end of the elastic component 92 is fixed to the connecting plate 94, and the other end is fixed to the contact plate 91.

[0055] Specifically, when the trash bin 3 contacts and squeezes the contact plate 91, the contact plate 91 is forced to move toward one side of the connecting plate 94, and at the same time, the elastic component 92 is compressed. When the first contact switch 93 contacts the second contact switch 95, the switch mechanism 9 is energized.

[0056] Furthermore, when the trash bin 3 leaves the contact plate 91, the contact plate 91 is subjected to the tension of the elastic component 92 and moves to the side away from the connecting plate 94. When the first contact switch 93 and the second contact switch 95 are disconnected, the switch mechanism 9 is powered off.

[0057] The switch mechanism 9 is controlled by the trash bin 3. In the embodiment of the utility model, when the trash bin 3 is moved into the fixed control device 4, the side of the trash bin 3 contacts the switch mechanism 9 and pushes the switch mechanism 9 inward, thereby realizing the power-on of the entire fixed control device 4, ensuring that all components remain in a powered-on standby state and are ready to establish a communication connection with a vehicle that comes to dump garbage at any time; at the same time, when the garbage in the trash bin 3 is full and needs to be processed, first manually disconnect the connection between the trash bin cover 31 and the cover opening mechanism 7, release the fixation of the fixing mechanism 6 and the trash bin 3, and move the trash bin 3 out of the fixed control device 4. At the same time, the side of the trash bin 3 is disconnected from the switch mechanism 9, thereby realizing the power-off of the entire fixed control device 4, thereby ensuring that the fixed control device 4 does not consume electricity when not working, saving energy consumption.

[0058] See also Fig.11 and Fig.12 The fixing mechanism 6 includes a driving control member 61, a fixing member 62 connected to the end of the driving control member 61, and a sensing member 65 located on one side of the driving control member 61. The fixing member 62 can be rotatably set at the end of the driving control member 61. The driving control member 61 is a linear motor. The fixing member 62 can be rotatably set on the motor shaft 611 of the linear motor, and the rotation of the fixing member 62 can be controlled by the extension and retraction of the motor shaft 611. A fixing plate 63 is also provided on one side of the driving control member 61. The fixing member 62 is fixed to the fixing plate 63 through a rotating shaft 64. The fixing plate 63 is provided with a groove 631 that cooperates with the trash can handle 32.

[0059] When the sensing component 65 located on one side of the drive control component 61 senses the handle 32 located on the side of the trash bin 3, the sensing component 65 is connected to the drive control component 61 for communication, and transmits a signal to the drive control component 61. The drive control component 61 controls the fixing component 62 to rotate, and firmly fixes the handle 32 in the fixing component 62, thereby fixing the entire trash bin 3. In the embodiment of the utility model, the sensing component 65 is a light sensor.

[0060] Furthermore, in another embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 8 Distance sensors 10 are provided on both sides of the fixed control device 4 , and the distance sensors 10 are communicatively connected with the electric control box 5 .

[0061] Specifically, in another embodiment of the utility model, in order to ensure that some garbage dumping vehicles without sensors can also use the system normally, distance sensors 10 are provided on both sides of the fixed control device 4, and the distance sensors 10 are communicatively connected with the electric control box 5. When an ordinary vehicle approaches the fixed control device 4, the distance sensors 10 on both sides of the fixed control device 4 sense the vehicle and judge the positional relationship between the vehicle and the garbage bin 3. When the vehicle reaches the optimal garbage dumping position, the distance sensor issues an alarm and prompts the vehicle to stop. At the same time, an opening signal is sent to the communication control chip, and the communication control chip controls the opening mechanism 7 to open the lid. When the opening mechanism 7 detects that the lid is fully opened, it also issues a warning, and the vehicle 1 performs the action of dumping garbage. When the vehicle 1 completes the garbage dumping and leaves the garbage bin 3, the distance sensor 10 detects that the vehicle 1 has left and sends a closing signal to the communication control chip, and the communication control chip controls the opening mechanism 7 to close the lid, thereby closing the garbage bin lid 31 of the garbage bin 3 to complete the whole process.

[0062] In the embodiment of the utility model, according to the distance between the cleaning vehicle 1 and the garbage bin 3, the optimal distance between the vehicle 1 and the garbage bin 3 when the garbage dumping mechanism of the cleaning vehicle is dumping garbage is first determined. Preferably, the optimal distance selected in the utility model is 25 cm, that is, when the vehicle 1 detects that the distance between the rear end of the vehicle 1 and the garbage bin 3 is 25 cm, a signal is immediately sent to the driver to brake or the vehicle 1 automatically brakes and prepares to dump the garbage.
