Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of collection devices, in particular to a hospital bedding collection device. Background Art
[0002] Currently, hospital linen collection is typically done manually, stored daily in designated garbage rooms on each floor, and then transported to the basement garbage room using a combination of manual labor, carts, and elevators. From there, it is transferred to the outdoor laundry room and garbage station, resulting in a complex waste transportation route. In most domestic hospitals, during peak daytime hours, trash cans, medical waste carts, and laundry carts travel for extended periods through the hallways of inpatient and outpatient departments. This traditional collection method requires significant manpower, is prone to environmental pollution and cross-infection during transportation, and is inefficient throughout the entire collection and transportation process.

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a hospital bedding collection device includes a bedding collection tank body 1 and a tank body bracket 2. The bedding collection tank body 1 is tilted and arranged on the tank body bracket 2 so that the bedding can slide smoothly into the collection bin 11 under the action of gravity. The upper end of the bedding collection tank body 1 is provided with an inlet end 12, and the lower end is provided with a back cover 13. The inlet end 12 is used to be connected to the end of a bedding conveying pipe (not shown in the figure) to receive bedding conveyed through the bedding conveying pipe. The bedding collection tank body 1 has a collection bin 11 for storing bedding. The back cover 13 is flippably arranged at the lower end of the bedding collection tank body 1 by a back cover opening and closing mechanism 3, and the back cover 13 can be opened by the back cover opening and closing mechanism 3 to unload the bedding located in the collection bin 11.
[0028] Figure 1 As shown, the rear cover opening and closing mechanism 3 includes a rotary cylinder 31 and a rotary cylinder support 32. The rear cover 13 is hinged to the lower end of the clothing collection tank 1 via a hinged base 14, allowing the rear cover 13 to flip around the hinged base 14. The rotary cylinder support 32 is mounted on the clothing collection tank 1. One end of the rotary cylinder 31 is hinged to the rotary cylinder support 32, and the other end is hinged to the rear cover 13. When the clothing needs to be unloaded, the rotary cylinder 31 is activated, driving the rear cover 13 to flip around the hinged base 14, thereby unloading the clothing from the collection bin 11.
[0029] Figure 1 As shown, in order to ensure that the back cover 13 can fit tightly on the clothing collection tank body 1 when closed and prevent air leakage at the back cover 13, a clamping mechanism 4 for clamping the back cover 13 to the clothing collection tank body 1 is also provided at the lower end of the clothing collection tank body 1. The clamping mechanism 4 includes a clamping cylinder 41 and a clamping cylinder mounting seat 42. The clamping cylinder mounting seat 42 is provided on the tank body bracket 2, and a clamping claw 43 is provided at the output end of the clamping cylinder 41. When the back cover 13 is closed, the clamping cylinder 41 is started, driving the clamping claw 43 to clamp the back cover 13 to the clothing collection tank body 1, thereby ensuring the sealing of the back cover 13.
[0030] Figure 4 As shown, in order to slow down the flow of bedding into the collection chamber 11 and prevent damage or uneven accumulation of bedding due to excessive impact, a flow speed reducer 5 is provided at the inlet end 12 of the upper end of the bedding collection tank 1. The flow speed reducer 5 can be a mesh or plate structure, and reduces the flow rate of the bedding by increasing the contact area between the bedding and the flow speed reducer 5.
[0031] also, Figure 3 As shown, the outlet end 15 at the upper end of the bedding collection tank body 1 is provided with a solid-gas separation filter 6. The bedding enters the tank body under the action of inertia, and the gas passes through the solid-gas separation filter 6. The bedding is isolated and stored in the collection bin 11.
[0032] In order to monitor the storage status of bedding in the collection bin 11 in real time and avoid low collection efficiency or waste of resources caused by too much or too little bedding, Figure 2 As shown, a material level sensor 7 is also provided at the upper end of the bedding collection tank 1 to detect the storage status of the bedding in the collection bin 11. The material level sensor 7 can be an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, or a radar sensor. By detecting the height of the bedding in the collection bin 11, the signal is transmitted to the control system for timely processing.
[0033] Working principle:
[0034] During use, bedding is conveyed to the inlet 12 of the bedding collection tank 1 through the bedding conveying pipe, slowed down by the flow speed reducer 5, and then falls into the collection bin 11. The material level sensor 7 monitors the storage status of the bedding in the collection bin 11 in real time. When the bedding reaches a preset height, the control system sends a signal, first driving the clamping claw 43 through the clamping cylinder 41 of the clamping mechanism 4 to loosen the rear cover 13, and then starts the rotating cylinder 31 of the rear cover opening and closing mechanism 3, driving the rear cover 13 to flip around the hinge seat 14, and unloading the bedding in the collection bin 11 onto the bedding trolley. After unloading is completed, the rotating cylinder 31 and the clamping cylinder 41 are started again to close and clamp the rear cover 13, completing the bedding collection process.
[0035] Obviously, the embodiments described 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 skilled in the art are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
