Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of garbage compression equipment, specifically a vertical garbage compressor. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for the sorting, processing, compression, and transportation of household waste, more and more medium- and large-sized waste transfer stations are choosing the high-input, horizontal-output vertical waste compression process, which is more conducive to waste sorting, more suitable for large-scale compression and transportation, and has greater environmental advantages. This aims to improve the level of household waste transportation in the region, enhance public health, improve the investment environment, and promote the coordinated development of regional environmental protection and economy.

[0003] Normally, the compactor moves horizontally along a set of single tracks above the compaction berth to the berth where it needs to be compressed. The space above the receiving door of the box is the compactor's compression operation space, the unloading operation space of the collection vehicle, and the compactor's movement space.

[0004] The compactor's compression operation space and the collection vehicle's unloading operation space are both located directly above the receiving door of a transfer container. Conflicts between them are unavoidable due to the nature of vertical waste compaction technology. The compactor's travel space conflicts with the collection vehicle's unloading space; that is, before reaching the required compaction station, the compactor must determine whether a collection vehicle is unloading along its route. For example, if a collection vehicle is unloading at an intermediate berth (on the travel route), the compactor cannot cross that station to reach the next station, increasing waiting time and reducing the transfer efficiency of the transfer station. This operational conflict caused by the compactor's single-track translation can be resolved by changing the compactor's track layout. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vertical garbage compactor to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vertical garbage compressor, including a steel structure frame, a support platform, a walking mechanism, a compactor, and several transfer containers. The compactor is movably disposed inside the walking mechanism, and the walking mechanism is movably disposed inside the steel structure frame. A walking component is provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the compactor. Several first Y-axis track components matching the walking components are provided at the top of the inner wall of the steel structure frame above the transfer containers. A second Y-axis track component matching the walking component is provided on the inner wall of the walking mechanism. An X-axis track component matching the walking mechanism is provided on one side of the first Y-axis track component at the top of the inner wall of the steel structure frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the support platform includes an unloading platform and a bottom platform, with the unloading platform located above one side of the bottom platform.

[0008] Furthermore, the steel structure frame is located on top of the bottom platform, and the transfer container is movably located on the top of the bottom platform near the unloading platform.

[0009] Furthermore, the compactor includes a power platform, a compactor body, a hydraulic system, and an electrical control system.

[0010] Furthermore, the power platform is located above the walking assembly, which includes two sets of walking wheels. The two sets of walking wheels are respectively located on both sides of the bottom of the power platform, and the drive motor of the power platform is connected to the walking wheels. The horizontal distance between the first Y-axis track assembly and the second Y-axis track assembly is less than the center distance between two adjacent walking wheels in each set.

[0011] Furthermore, the compactor body includes a hammer body and a guide base.

[0012] Furthermore, the hydraulic system includes a hydraulic pump unit, a main compression cylinder, a safety interlock cylinder, a hydraulic cooling unit, a control valve group, and hydraulic accessories.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This utility model features a steel frame, support platform, walking mechanism, compactor, transfer container, unloading platform, bottom platform, and walking components. The unloading platform supports the garbage collection vehicle during unloading. After the garbage collection vehicle moves to the top of the unloading platform, it can directly unload the transfer container placed on top of the bottom platform. The garbage enters the transfer container, and the compactor travels along the Y-axis to the top of the transfer container. The compactor's head moves downward to compress the garbage inside the transfer container. After the transfer container is filled with compressed garbage, it can be directly towed away by a transfer vehicle to the bottom platform, and then the empty transfer container is moved. The operation is convenient and quick. In this utility model, the compression equipment area is further divided into a compression area in front of the berth and a walking area behind the berth. Before the compactor travels to the work position to be compressed in the rear area of ​​the berth, it no longer needs to judge whether there is a collection vehicle unloading along the route; it can reach any berth to perform compression operations. This can effectively reduce working waiting time and improve the transfer efficiency of the garbage transfer station. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: a vertical garbage compactor, including a steel frame 1, a support platform 2, a traveling mechanism 3, a compactor 4, and several transfer containers 5. The compactor 4 is movably disposed inside the traveling mechanism 3, and the traveling mechanism 3 is movably disposed inside the steel frame 1. A traveling component 9 is provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the compactor 4. Several first Y-axis track assemblies 6 matching the traveling components 9 are provided above the transfer containers 5 on the top of the inner wall of the steel frame 1. A second Y-axis track assembly 8 matching the traveling components 9 is provided on the inner wall of the traveling mechanism 3. A second Y-axis track assembly 8 matching the traveling components 9 is provided on one side of the first Y-axis track assembly 6 on the top of the inner wall of the steel frame 1. 3. A matching X-axis track assembly 7, wherein the first Y-axis track assembly 6 and the X-axis track assembly 7 are connected in terms of travel route or space; the support platform 2 includes an unloading platform 201 and a bottom platform 202, wherein the unloading platform 201 is located above one side of the bottom platform 202, the steel structure frame 1 is located on the top of the bottom platform 202, and the transfer container 5 is movably located on the top of the bottom platform 202 near the unloading platform 201; the unloading platform 201 is used to support the garbage collection vehicle for unloading operations, and after the garbage collection vehicle moves to the top of the unloading platform 201, it can directly unload the transfer container 5 placed on the top of the bottom platform 202.

[0026] In one embodiment, the compactor 4 includes a power platform 401, a compactor body 402, a hydraulic system, and an electrical control system. The electrical control system is the control center of the entire compression equipment, responsible for monitoring and controlling all actions of the compactor. It is a complex system that integrates electrical control and hydraulic execution, ensuring that the compactor can efficiently and safely complete the waste compression task through precise control and monitoring.

[0027] In one embodiment, the power platform 401 is positioned above the walking assembly 9. The walking assembly 9 includes two sets of walking wheels 901, which are respectively located on both sides of the bottom of the power platform 401. The drive motor of the power platform 401 is connected to the walking wheels 901. The drive motor of the power platform 401 drives the walking wheels 901 to rotate. The two sets of walking wheels 901 roll, thereby driving the compactor 4 to move in the Y-axis direction. The horizontal distance between the first Y-axis track assembly 6 and the second Y-axis track assembly 8 is less than the center distance between two adjacent walking wheels 901 in each set. This ensures that the compactor can pass smoothly and reliably. The compactor's own traveling device is configured with a multi-roller mode for the Y-axis track connection gap. Each group of traveling wheels 901 can be sequentially named traveling wheel 1, traveling wheel 2, traveling wheel 3, and traveling wheel 4 according to the Y-axis direction. The traveling principle is as follows: traveling wheels 1, 2, 3, and 4 are suspended in the air, crossing the connection gap. The center distance between any two adjacent traveling wheels 901 is greater than the connection gap to ensure that at all times, three traveling wheels 901 are engaged on the first Y-axis track assembly 6 and the second Y-axis track assembly 8. This ensures that the compactor passes smoothly through the connection gap. Figure 6 As shown, when the compactor 4 crosses the docking gap, the first traveling wheel 901 is initially suspended in the air, while the second, third, and fourth traveling wheels 901 remain on the second Y-axis track assembly 8, supporting the compactor 4 as it moves. As the compactor 4 continues forward, the first traveling wheel 901 engages with the first Y-axis track assembly 6, the second traveling wheel 901 becomes suspended, and the third and fourth traveling wheels 901 remain on the second Y-axis track assembly 8. At this point, the first, third, and fourth traveling wheels 901 support the compactor 4. Similarly, when the third and fourth traveling wheels 901 are suspended, the compactor 4 can cross the docking gap of the Y-axis track and move from the traveling area to the compression area for compression operations. Conversely, the compactor 4 can also smoothly move from the compression area to the traveling area, retract into the traveling mechanism track beam, and then travel with the traveling mechanism to other berths.

[0028] In one embodiment, the compactor body 402 includes a hammer body and a guide base.

[0029] In one embodiment, the hydraulic system includes a hydraulic pump unit, a main compression cylinder, a safety interlock cylinder, a hydraulic cooling unit, a control valve group, and hydraulic accessories; the hydraulic system adopts an integrated hydraulic station design, which occupies little space and facilitates the layout of the whole machine and pipelines.

[0030] In one embodiment, the steel frame 1 is provided with a discharge chute 10 on the inner side above the transfer container 5. The discharge chute 10 guides the garbage collection vehicle and the transfer container 5 to ensure that the garbage enters the transfer container 5 normally and avoids the garbage falling outside the transfer container 5. At the same time, the discharge guide port of the discharge chute 10 also allows the compactor head of the compactor 4 to move down normally into the transfer container 5 to compress the garbage.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model:

[0032] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1-6 This utility model comprises a steel frame 1, a support platform 2, a walking mechanism 3, a compactor 4, a transfer container 5, an unloading platform 201, a bottom platform 202, and a walking assembly 9. The steel frame 1 provides overhead support for the walking mechanism 3 and the compactor 4. The walking mechanism 3 can drive the compactor 4 to move along the X-axis track assembly 7 inside the steel frame 1, allowing the compactor 4 to move along the X-axis track assembly 7 in the X-axis direction. The walking assembly 9 at the bottom of the outer wall of the compactor 4 can move along the second Y-axis track assembly 8 in the Y-axis direction, allowing the compactor 4 to better exit from the walking mechanism 3 and enter the first Y-axis track assembly 6. The walking assembly 9 at the bottom of the outer wall of the compactor 4 can move along the first Y-axis track assembly 6 in the Y-axis direction, allowing the compactor 4 to move directly above the transfer container 5, ensuring that the compactor 4 accurately compresses the waste in the transfer container 5.

[0033] Definition of a vertical waste compression station with different side inlet and lower outlet: Different side refers to the fact that the unloading area of ​​the collection vehicle and the container transfer area are located on different sides of the installation area of ​​the compression equipment; Horizontal inlet and lower outlet refers to the fact that the building elevation of the unloading area of ​​the collection vehicle is 0 meters and the building elevation of the container transfer area is -6.0 meters; Vertical station refers to a municipal solid waste compression transfer station where the compression head of the vertical compressor (usually called a compactor) moves in a vertical direction.

[0034] The compression equipment area is further divided into a compression area in front of the berth and a travel area behind the berth. Before the compactor 4 travels to the station that needs to be compressed, it no longer needs to judge whether there is a collection vehicle unloading on the travel route, and can reach any berth to carry out compression operations.

[0035] The compactor's travel path is improved so that it travels behind each unloading station, and when it reaches the station that needs to be compressed, it moves forward from the rear to the compression station.

[0036] The movement of the compactor 4 between berths is called X-axis movement; the movement of the compactor 4 from the rear movement area to the front compression area is called Y-axis movement; and the compression cylinder extending after the compactor 4 reaches the predetermined position, driving the compactor head to compress vertically downwards, is called Z-axis compression. Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown;

[0037] The process flow is as follows: After the transfer container 5 is filled with garbage, ① the traveling mechanism 3 drives the compactor 4 to move along the track X direction to the back of the target container's workstation to wait for the compression command; ② the closed door between the unloading area and the traveling area is opened; ③ the compactor 4 moves along the track Y direction to the top of the target container; ④ the compactor 4's pressure head Z direction compresses the garbage inside the container; ⑤ the compactor 4 returns to the traveling area to wait for boxing or moves to other workstations that are full and need to be compressed for operation; ⑥ garbage is unloaded into the container again, and after it is full, it is compressed again (repeating the above steps ① to ⑤) until the garbage in the container reaches the designed loading capacity, and the unloading chute is retracted and the feed door at the top of the container is closed; the above steps ① to ⑤ are one-button operations, only issuing the workstation number command that needs to be compressed, and the equipment actions are all automatically controlled by the program;

[0038] To enable the compactor 4 to advance to the compression berth, the Y-axis track needs to be divided into two sections. One section is built into the track beam of the traveling mechanism 3 (second Y-axis track assembly 8) to ensure that the compactor 4 moves with the traveling mechanism 3 in the X-axis direction. The other section is fixed on the steel structure compression berth (first Y-axis track assembly 6) to ensure that the compactor 4 can detach from the traveling mechanism 3 and reach the compression berth. To ensure that the compactor 4 can smoothly advance to the compression berth, the positioning accuracy of the traveling mechanism 3 in the X-axis direction and the sufficient docking accuracy of the two Y-axis track sections must be guaranteed to be within a reliable range. The specific solution is as follows:

[0039] The drive mechanism of the walking mechanism 3 is driven by a variable frequency geared motor and equipped with an encoder. The walking mechanism 3 can perform actions such as "acceleration → constant speed → deceleration → braking" according to the travel distance. The walking speed is controllable and adjustable, and the operation is smooth, reliable, without jamming or slippage. It avoids equipment failure caused by inertial action due to sudden braking at high speeds, and improves the docking accuracy and precision of the Y-axis track inside the walking mechanism 3 and the Y-axis track of the steel structure.

[0040] The walking mechanism 3 drive mechanism is not used for load-bearing, but only for driving movement;

[0041] The unloading platform 201 supports the garbage collection vehicle during unloading. After the garbage collection vehicle moves to the top of the unloading platform 201, it can directly unload the transfer container 5 placed on the top of the bottom platform 202. The garbage enters the transfer container 5, and the compactor 4 is adjusted above the transfer container 5. The compactor 4 moves downward to compress the garbage inside the transfer container 5. After the transfer container 5 is filled with garbage, it can be directly dragged away by the transfer vehicle to the bottom platform 202. Then the empty transfer container 5 is transferred. The operation is convenient and quick. When the compressor is in use, the transfer container 5 can be replaced directly through the bottom platform 202 without going through the unloading platform 201. The garbage collection vehicle unloads only on the unloading platform 201, and the transfer vehicle only works on the bottom platform 202. The two do not interfere with each other, which can effectively reduce the waiting time and improve the transfer efficiency of the garbage transfer station.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
