Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of garbage receiving and processing, in particular to a novel tipping receiving hopper. Background Technique
[0002] With the acceleration of the urbanization process and the booming development of the catering industry, the generation of kitchen waste and food waste has increased sharply. Traditional material processing methods are often inefficient and prone to environmental pollution. The tipping receiving hopper can efficiently receive, store and tip materials through its unique design, greatly improving the efficiency and speed of material processing.
[0003] Currently, the receiving hopper equipment in current kitchen waste or food waste treatment stations mainly presents two typical layout modes: The first type is that the receiving equipment is arranged on the same horizontal plane as other processing facilities. However, this type of design usually requires the unloading platform to be set at the second-floor height. Therefore, it is often necessary to construct a large-scale climbing structure, or the site itself needs to be located in an area with rugged terrain and significant natural height differences, and the layout is achieved through architectural design with one side being more than two meters higher than the other side. However, this type of terrain condition is relatively rare. In most cases, it still relies on manual construction of climbing to solve the height difference problem. This mode not only significantly increases the construction cost, but also occupies a large amount of land resources, posing a high challenge to space utilization.
[0004] Another type of design is to set the receiving hopper independently in a deep excavation foundation pit. Although this layout method saves ground space to a certain extent, the foundation pit environment brings many inconveniences to the daily maintenance and repair of the equipment. In addition, the foundation pit itself is prone to become a "dead corner" for garbage and sewage retention. The cleaning work is both cumbersome and time-consuming. If the cleaning is not timely, it is extremely easy to cause a stench problem, causing adverse effects on the surrounding environment and increasing the difficulty and cost of environmental protection management. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a novel tipping receiving hopper to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, a novel tipping receiving hopper provided by the utility model includes a support, a hopper main body is arranged above the support, a conveying screw is installed in the hopper main body, rotating shafts are installed at both ends of the conveying screw, a cover plate is arranged at the top of the hopper main body, and hydraulic cylinders I are rotatably connected to both sides of the support, and the ends of the hydraulic cylinders I far from the support are rotatably connected to the hopper main body.
[0007] Furthermore, sliding bearings are provided on both sides of the hopper body close to the rotating shaft. The bottom of the sliding bearing is connected to the support. On one side of the hopper body far from the rotating shaft, two fixed cylinders are welded. A second hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the fixed cylinder. One end of the second hydraulic cylinder far from the fixed cylinder is rotatably connected to the cover plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the hopper body is square-shaped. The height of its incoming vehicle surface is lower than the other three sides. The overall height of the hopper body is one meter. The diagonal bottom edge of the hopper body is a circular arc surface. Cylindrical barrels extend from both sides of the circular arc surface. One end is the discharge port, and a motor is installed at the other end. The transmission shaft of the motor is in transmission connection with the rotating shaft.
[0009] Furthermore, the support and the fixed seat bottom plate of the first hydraulic cylinder are made of the same material, and the bottom surface of the support is parallel to the ground.
[0010] Furthermore, a hinge is installed above the opposite side of the incoming vehicle surface of the hopper body. The cover plate can be connected to the hopper body through the hinge to open and close it.
[0011] Furthermore, a transparent window is provided on one side of the cover plate close to the second hydraulic cylinder.
[0012] In the above solution, the main function of this tipping receiving hopper is the bottom discharge height. According to the required volume, a corresponding discharge ramp is arranged in front of the hopper. The ramp can be in the form of civil engineering or steel structure. After the discharge is completed, the tipping increases the discharge angle of the material, so that the material can be effectively transported.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. Driven by the first hydraulic cylinder, the hopper body of the present utility model can achieve flexible tipping actions, which is convenient for dumping the material to the designated position. At the same time, the built-in conveying screw can continue to work during the tipping process to ensure smooth and efficient transportation of the material, greatly improving the work efficiency.
[0015] 2. The height of the tipping hopper body of the present utility model is one meter, so that the whole device can completely fall on the ground. The hopper body is connected to the support through sliding bearings. This design not only reduces the friction during rotation but also improves the structural stability. In addition, the hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the hopper body and the cover plate through fixed cylinders, further enhancing the smoothness and reliability of the tipping and opening / closing actions.

[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , the present invention provides a technical solution:
[0027] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a new type of flipping feeding hopper includes a support 2. Above the support 2, there is a hopper main body 1. Inside the hopper main body 1, a conveyor screw 5 is installed. Both ends of the conveyor screw 5 are installed with rotating shafts 1-1. At the top of the hopper main body 1, there is a cover plate 4. On both sides of the support 2, there is a hydraulic cylinder 1 rotatably connected. The end of the hydraulic cylinder 1 far from the support 2 is rotatably connected to the hopper main body 1.
[0028] In the specific implementation process, the hydraulic cylinder 1 is the key power component to realize the flipping action of the hopper main body 1. Its two ends are respectively rotatably connected to the support 2 and the hopper main body 1, and the telescopic movement is realized through the control of the hydraulic system. When the hydraulic cylinder 1 extends, it pushes the hopper main body 1 to rotate around its connection point with the support 2, thus realizing the flipping action. When the hydraulic cylinder 1 shortens, the hopper main body 1 returns to its original position.
[0029] Refer to Figure 1As shown in the figure, a new type of tipping hopper is provided. On both sides of the hopper body 1 near the rotating shaft 1-1, sliding bearings 1-2 are provided. The bottom of the sliding bearing 1-2 is connected to the support 2. On one side of the hopper body 1 away from the rotating shaft 1-1, two fixed cylinders are welded. A second hydraulic cylinder 3-1 is rotatably connected to the fixed cylinder. One end of the second hydraulic cylinder 3-1 away from the fixed cylinder is rotatably connected to the cover plate 4.
[0030] In the specific implementation process, the second hydraulic cylinder 3-1 can directly act on the cover plate 4, and the opening and closing of the cover plate 4 are realized through its telescopic movement. The user can precisely adjust the telescopic speed and force of the first hydraulic cylinder 3 and the second hydraulic cylinder 3-1 by controlling the hydraulic system, so as to realize the precise control of the hopper tipping and the opening of the cover plate 4.
[0031] It should be noted that: the sliding bearing 1-2 not only enhances the stability and smoothness of the hopper body 1 during rotation, but also reduces the friction between the rotating shaft 1-1 and the support 2, thereby extending the service life of the equipment. The bottom of the sliding bearing 1-2 is closely connected to the support 2 to ensure the effective transmission of the supporting force.
[0032] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, a new type of tipping hopper is provided. The hopper body 1 is square in shape, and the incoming vehicle surface height is lower than the other three sides. The overall height of the hopper body 1 is one meter. The diagonal bottom edge of the hopper body 1 is an arc surface, and cylindrical tubes extend from both sides of the arc surface. One end is the discharge port 5-1, and the other end is equipped with a motor. The transmission shaft of the motor is in transmission connection with the rotating shaft 1-1.
[0033] In the specific implementation process, the hopper body 1 is designed to be square in shape. This shape is not only convenient for manufacturing and installation, but also makes the overall equipment more stable. The height of the incoming vehicle surface (i.e., the side where the material enters) of the hopper is designed to be lower than the other three sides. This design helps to guide the material into the hopper body 1 more smoothly and reduces the risk of material scattering and accumulation.
[0034] In the cylindrical tube extending from the arc surface, one end is set as the discharge port 5-1, which is the main channel for the material to be discharged from the hopper. The other end is equipped with a motor, and the transmission shaft of the motor is connected to the rotating shaft 1-1 to achieve power transmission. When the motor is started, the rotating shaft 1-1 rotates accordingly, and then drives the conveying screw 5 to push the material towards the discharge port 5-1.
[0035] Refer to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a new type of tipping hopper is provided. The support 2 and the fixed seat bottom plate of the first hydraulic cylinder 3 are made of the same material, and the bottom surface of the support 2 is parallel to the ground.
[0036] In the specific implementation process, the fixed seat bottom plates of the support 2 and the first hydraulic cylinder 3 are made of the same material, which can ensure good connection strength and stability between the support 2 and the first hydraulic cylinder 3, avoiding connection loosening or failure problems caused by material differences. At the same time, the bottom plates of the same material can also simplify the manufacturing and installation processes and reduce production costs.
[0037] Refer to Figure 1 As shown, a new type of tipping receiving hopper, a hinge is installed above the opposite side of the hopper body 1 facing the incoming vehicle surface, and the cover plate 4 can be connected to the hopper body 1 through the hinge and opened and closed.
[0038] In the specific implementation process, the hinge is installed above the opposite side of the hopper body 1 facing the incoming vehicle surface, that is, on the side opposite to the material entry direction. This layout ensures that the cover plate does not obstruct the entry of materials when opened, and does not collide with or interfere with the materials when closed.
[0039] It should be noted that: the cover plate 4 is connected to the hopper body 1 through the hinge, so it can rotate around the hinge axis. When the cover plate 4 needs to be opened, the second hydraulic cylinder 3-1 can be used to push the cover plate to rotate around the hinge axis by a certain angle to fully or partially open the cover plate 4, allowing materials to enter the hopper. After the materials are loaded, the second hydraulic cylinder 3-1 is used to rotate the cover plate 4 back to its original position and close it to ensure that the materials do not leak during transportation or processing.
[0040] Refer to Figure 1 As shown, a new type of tipping receiving hopper, a transparent window 4-1 is provided on one side of the cover plate 4 close to the second hydraulic cylinder 3-1.
[0041] In the specific implementation process, the transparent window 4-1 allows operators to directly observe the loading situation of the materials inside the hopper without opening the cover plate, which is crucial for ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of material loading. Especially in situations where precise control of the amount or type of materials is required, through the transparent window 4-1, operators can immediately adjust the loading strategy to avoid excessive or insufficient materials and mixing between different materials.
[0042] Working principle:
[0043] Step 1: Both ends of the hopper body 1 are installed on the support 2 by sliding bearings 1-2, and both ends of the driving first hydraulic cylinder 3 are connected between the support 2 and the hopper body 1. The cover plate 4 is installed on the hopper body 1 through the hinge and the second hydraulic cylinder 3-1 and can rotate around the hinge to open and close. The conveying screw 5 is installed inside the hopper body 1, and the rotating shafts 1-1 protrude from both ends of the screw housing.
[0044] Step 2: When the vehicle delivers materials, open the cover plate 4. After the vehicle reverses to the fixed position, start unloading. After the unloading is completed, close the cover plate 4. The hydraulic cylinder 1 drives the hopper to rotate around the support 2 by no less than 30°, ensuring that the materials automatically slide towards the conveying screw 5. During the whole process, the conveying screw 5 keeps running and conveys the garbage out from the discharge port 5-1. During a single operation, the conveying situation of the materials can be observed through the transparent window 4-1. After the materials are conveyed, the hopper returns to the initial state to start the next round of material receiving process.
