Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of garbage compression, and particularly to a garbage compressor and a garbage transfer station. Background Art

[0002] The existing cabinet-separated top scraping and pressing type garbage compressor basically consists of four major parts: a frame, a garbage bin, a feeding mechanism, and a compression mechanism. The main function of the garbage bin is to store garbage; the main function of the feeding mechanism is to put garbage into the garbage bin; the main function of the compression mechanism is to compress the garbage put into the feeding port of the garbage bin by the feeding mechanism into the garbage bin, and at the same time achieve the effect of compression and volume reduction.

[0003] For example, the utility model patent with the patent number 202023050826.9 and the name of "A Swing Docking Oblique Pressing Type Garbage Compression Transfer Station" relates to the technical field of garbage transfer stations, and specifically relates to a swing docking oblique pressing type garbage compression transfer station, which includes a guide rail frame, a garbage bin, and two swing arm bases installed on the ground. Each swing arm base is connected with two swing arms. Above the multiple swing arms, a garbage compressor is connected. The swing arm base, the swing arms, and the garbage compressor form a four-bar linkage mechanism. The garbage compressor is also provided with a feeding mechanism; the swing arm drives the whole garbage compressor to move, so that the garbage compressor is docked with and separated from the garbage bin; the garbage compressor compresses and pushes the garbage into the garbage bin; the hopper mechanism is used for flipping and feeding the garbage. In this utility model, the garbage compressor and the garbage bin are separated, so that the garbage compressor does not occupy the internal volume of the garbage bin, and can also avoid the garbage compressor being soaked in sewage, ensuring the service life; the hook arm vehicle can lift the garbage bin in place, and the space required in the horizontal docking direction is small.

[0004] However, in this existing technology, the cabinet-separated top scraping and pressing type garbage compressor includes four main parts: a frame, a garbage bin, a feeding mechanism, and a compression mechanism. Among them, the feeding mechanism and the compression mechanism belong to two different mechanisms and exist independently, which directly leads to a complex structure, large weight, high cost, and many failure points of the equipment.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a garbage transfer station, including a main frame 1, a feeding and compressing mechanism assembly 2, and a garbage bin 3.

[0031] The main frame 1 and the feeding and compressing mechanism assembly 2 are combined to form a garbage compressor, which cooperates with the garbage bin 3 to compress garbage. The main frame 1 straddles both sides of the garbage bin 3, so that the garbage bin 3 is movably placed inside the main frame 1. In this way, a chassis-separated structure is formed, where the garbage compressor is independent of the garbage bin, and the garbage bin can be transported away by a garbage truck alone. Of course, in other embodiments, the chassis-separated structure may not be adopted. For example, the main frame is not provided, and the feeding and compressing mechanism is directly installed on the garbage bin.

[0032] In this embodiment, the feeding and compressing mechanism assembly 2 is hinged to the upper end of the main frame 1 and can swing above the main frame 1. Specifically, the main frame 1 includes a fixed rod 11, a swing rod 12, and a lifting oil cylinder 13. The lower end of the swing rod 12 is hinged to the fixed rod 11, the upper end is hinged to the feeding and compressing mechanism assembly 2, and the lower end of the lifting oil cylinder 13 is hinged to the fixed rod 11, and the upper end is hinged to the feeding and compressing mechanism assembly 2. After the garbage bin 3 is filled with materials, the feeding and compressing mechanism assembly 2 stops in the up-turned state, the lifting oil cylinder 13 extends, driving the feeding and compressing mechanism assembly 2 to move. The feeding and compressing mechanism assembly 2 completes a horizontal swing action under the restraint of the swing rod 12, realizing the separation between the feeding and compressing mechanism assembly 2 and the garbage bin 3, so that the garbage bin 3 can be horizontally pulled out by a garbage truck. Of course, in other embodiments, other structures can also be used to make the feeding and compressing mechanism assembly swing above the main frame.

[0033] In this embodiment, the feeding and compressing mechanism assembly 2 includes a compressor frame 21, a hopper assembly 22, and a hopper turning mechanism. The compressor frame 21 is hinged to the swing rod 12 of the main frame 1, the hopper assembly 22 is hinged to the compressor frame 21, and the hopper turning mechanism connects the compressor frame 21 and the hopper assembly 22 and is used to drive the hopper assembly 22 to turn relative to the compressor frame 21. The hopper assembly 22 includes an outer hopper 221, an inner hopper 222, and a compression oil cylinder 223. The outer hopper 221 and the inner hopper 222 are sleeved, the inner hopper 222 is slidably connected inside the outer hopper 221, one end of the compression oil cylinder 223 is hinged to the outer hopper 221, and the other end is hinged to the inner hopper 222. After the hopper assembly 22 is in the lowered state to receive garbage delivery, the hopper turning mechanism turns the hopper assembly 22 relative to the compressor frame 21 to the up-turned state, throws the garbage into the garbage bin 3, and then the compression oil cylinder 223 extends, driving the inner hopper 222 to extend relative to the outer hopper 221 to compress the garbage. And after the compression is completed, the compression oil cylinder 223 retracts to drive the inner hopper 222 to retract a certain distance, and then the hopper turning mechanism pushes the hopper assembly 22 to rotate around the rotation point to realize reverse turning, so that the hopper assembly 22 returns to the lowered state for convenient next feeding. During the reverse turning process, the compression oil cylinder 223 continues to retract to drive the inner hopper 222 to retract in place.

[0034] In this embodiment, the hopper turning mechanism includes a hopper swing arm 23, a hopper connecting rod 24, and a tipping oil cylinder 25

[0035] The hopper swing arm 23, the hopper connecting rod 24, and the tipping cylinder 25 are hinged in sequence. The front end of the hopper swing arm 23 is hinged to the hopper assembly 22, and the rear end of the tipping cylinder 25 is hinged to the compressor frame 21. The hopper connecting rod 24 is also hinged to the compressor frame 21, so that the hopper assembly 22 can be flipped relative to the compressor frame 21 under the drive of the tipping cylinder 25 through the hopper swing arm 23 and the hopper connecting rod 24. In this embodiment, the hopper tipping mechanism enables the hopper assembly 22 to be flipped 180° relative to the compressor frame 21. In the lowered state, the hopper assembly 22 is substantially horizontal with the opening facing upward; in the up-turned state, the hopper assembly 22 is substantially horizontal with the opening facing downward. Of course, in other embodiments, the hopper tipping mechanism can also adopt other structures.

[0036] In this embodiment, an opening 31 is provided at the top of the trash bin 3, and the opening 31 is adapted to the hopper assembly 22 in the up-turned state, so that when the hopper assembly 22 is in the up-turned state, it covers the opening 31. A sealing door 32 is also provided at the top of the trash bin 3 for closing and opening the opening 31.

[0037] As Figure 6 shown, the operation process of the trash transfer station in this embodiment is described as follows.

[0038] The first step: At the beginning, the hopper assembly 22 is in the lowered state to receive garbage. Garbage is put into the hopper assembly 22 (such as S1 in Figure 6 ). After being filled, the tipping cylinder 25 extends, driving the hopper swing arm 23 to rotate. The hopper swing arm 23 drives the hopper connecting rod 24, and the hopper connecting rod 24 pulls the hopper assembly 22 to rotate around the rotation point to achieve a 180° flip and complete the feeding action (such as S2 and S3 in Figure 6 );

[0039] The second step: The compression cylinder 223 extends, driving the inner hopper 222 to extend relative to the outer hopper 221 to press the garbage into the trash bin 3 (such as S4 in Figure 6 );

[0040] The third step: After the compression is completed, the compression cylinder 223 retracts to drive the inner hopper 222 to retract a certain distance to release the extrusion force between the inner hopper 222 and the garbage (such as S5 in Figure 6 ). Then the tipping cylinder 25 retracts, driving the hopper swing arm 23 to rotate. The hopper swing arm 23 drives the hopper connecting rod 24, and the hopper connecting rod 24 pushes the hopper assembly 22 to rotate around the rotation point to achieve a reverse 180° flip and complete the lowering action of the hopper assembly 22 (such as S6 in Figure 6 ) to prepare for the next feeding. During the reverse flipping process, the compression cylinder 223 continues to retract to drive the inner hopper 222 to retract in place;

[0041] Step 4: Repeat the actions of the previous three steps until the trash bin 3 is full of garbage, the hopper assembly 22 stops in the upward turning state, the lifting oil cylinder 13 extends, driving the feeding and compressing mechanism assembly 2 to move, and the feeding and compressing mechanism assembly 2 completes the horizontal swing action under the constraint of the swing rod 12, realizing the separation of the feeding and compressing mechanism assembly 2 from the trash bin 3 (such as Figure 6 in S7);

[0042] Step 5: The garbage truck (preferably a detachable body garbage truck) hooks the trash bin. After the trash bin is hooked onto the truck, use the hydraulic power on the detachable body garbage truck to pull the closing door 32 to close the opening 31 on the trash bin 3, and then carry out transportation (such as Figure 6 in S8).

[0043] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to these embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
