[0015] The technical solutions provided in this application embodiment have at least the following technical effects:
[0016] This application provides a core waste container. When collecting core waste using this container, workers control an actuator to rotate the lid away from the opening, allowing the core waste to enter. After collection is paused or complete, workers control the actuator to rotate the lid closer to the opening until it is fully closed. Once the container is full or collection is complete, the container is disconnected from the base, and a forklift is used to transfer the container to a core waste processing location. Therefore, using this container allows workers to remotely control the actuator to open and close the lid, eliminating the need for frequent proximity to the container, thus saving manpower and time, and reducing the possibility of workers being exposed to radiation from the core waste.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the core waste bin includes a base 100, a bin body 200, a cover 300, and an actuation mechanism 400.
[0026] The housing 200 has an upward-facing opening for core waste to enter and is configured to be at least partially detachably mounted within the base 100. A cover 300 is hinged to the housing 200 and located at the opening. An actuation mechanism 400 is connected to the base 100 and configured to drive the cover 300 to rotate and open the opening.
[0027] When using the core waste bin to collect core waste, the worker controls the actuator 400 to drive the cover 300 to rotate away from the opening, thus opening the opening of the bin 200 and allowing the core waste to enter the bin 200 through the opening. When the core waste bin stops or finishes collecting core waste, the worker controls the actuator 400 to rotate the cover 300 towards the opening until the cover 300 completely closes the opening. After the core waste bin is filled or the core waste collection is complete, the bin 200 is disconnected from the base 100, and a forklift is used to transfer the bin 200 containing the core waste to the core waste processing location. Therefore, when using this core waste for core waste collection, workers can remotely control the actuator 400 to control the opening and closing of the cover 300, eliminating the need for workers to frequently approach the core waste box covered by the cover 300, thus saving manpower and time, and reducing the possibility of workers being exposed to radiation from the core waste.
[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the actuation mechanism 400 includes a first bracket 410, a first telescopic rod 420, and a transmission assembly 430. The first bracket 410 is connected to the base 100. The rod body of the first telescopic rod 420 is hinged to the first bracket 410, and the driving end of the first telescopic rod 420 is connected to the cover 300 through the transmission assembly 430 to drive the cover 300 to rotate.
[0029] For example, the first telescopic rod 420 can be an electric push rod or a hydraulic cylinder.
[0030] The first bracket 410 is used to support the base 100 and to allow the first telescopic rod 420 to rotate during extension and retraction.
[0031] When the actuation mechanism 400 is needed to drive the cover 300 to rotate and open the opening of the box 200, the worker controls the first telescopic rod 420 to extend. The driving end of the first telescopic rod 420 moves upward and, through the transmission assembly 430, drives the cover 300 to rotate away from the box 200, thereby gradually opening the opening. When the actuation mechanism 400 needs to be controlled to rotate the cover 300 to close the opening, the worker controls the first telescopic rod 420 to shorten. The driving end of the first telescopic rod 420 moves downward and, through the transmission assembly 430, drives the cover 300 to rotate closer to the box 200 until the cover 300 gradually closes the opening.
[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the transmission assembly 430 includes a fork 431 and a connecting rod 432. The connecting rod 432 is fixedly connected to the cover 300. The fork 431 is connected to the drive end of the first telescopic rod 420 and is configured to support the connecting rod 432.
[0033] When the first telescopic rod 420 extends, its driving end causes the fork 431 to move upward, which in turn pushes the connecting rod 432 upward, causing the cover 300 to rotate away from the housing 200. When the first telescopic rod 420 retracts, its driving end causes the fork 431 to move downward, and the cover 300 rotates towards the housing 200 under the influence of gravity.
[0034] In other embodiments of this application, the transmission assembly 430 has other structures. For example, the transmission assembly 430 includes a hinge and a connecting rod 432, with the two ends of the hinge connected to the drive end of the first telescopic rod 420 and the connecting rod 432, respectively.
[0035] In some other embodiments of this application, the actuation mechanism 400 has other structures. For example, the actuation mechanism 400 includes a motor, a reducer, and a rope; the motor and the reducer are mounted on the base 100, and the motor shaft is connected to the input shaft of the reducer, and the two ends of the rope are connected to the output shaft of the reducer and the cover 300, respectively.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the core waste bin further includes two buffer assemblies 500, which are mounted on the base 100 and located on both sides of the first telescopic rod 420. The buffer ends of both buffer assemblies 500 abut against the body of the first telescopic rod 420 and are configured to buffer the movement of the first telescopic rod 420 when it rotates.
[0037] When the first telescopic rod 420 extends or retracts, it rotates on the first bracket 410. The two buffer components 500 located on both sides of the first telescopic rod 420 buffer the rotation of the first telescopic rod 420 to prevent it from rotating too fast.
[0038] Specifically, continue to refer to Figure 3 The buffer assembly 500 includes a second bracket 510 and a buffer 520. The second bracket 510 is connected to the base 100. The buffer 520 is connected to the second bracket 510, so that the buffer 520 is fixed and the buffer end of the buffer 520 abuts against the body of the first telescopic rod 420.
[0039] When the first telescopic rod 420 rotates on the first bracket 410, the buffer 520 in one of the buffer components 500 is compressed, thereby causing the first telescopic rod 420 to rotate smoothly.
[0040] In other embodiments of this application, the buffer assembly 500 has other structural forms. For example, the buffer assembly 500 includes a second bracket 510 and at least one compression spring. The second bracket 510 is fixedly connected to the base 100, one end of the compression spring is fixedly connected to the second bracket 510, and the other end of the compression spring abuts against the body of the first telescopic rod 420.
[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the base 100 includes a first frame 110 and a plurality of support legs 120. The top and one side of the first frame 110 are open, allowing part of the housing 200 to enter the first frame 110 from the side opening. The plurality of support legs 120 are connected to the bottom of the first frame 110 and are used to support the first frame 110 and the housing 200 installed within the first frame 110.
[0042] The first frame 110 is used for placing and fixing the box 200; when it is necessary to use the box 200 to collect core waste, the box 200 is at least partially inserted into the first frame 110 through the side opening; and after the box 200 is filled with core waste or the core waste collection is completed, the box 200 is moved out of the first frame 110 through the top opening or side opening of the first frame 110.
[0043] Furthermore, the base 100 also includes a second frame 130, which is connected to the side opening of the first frame 110 and gradually expands outward. The second frame 130 is used to guide the process of the box 200 entering the first frame 110, so that the box 200 can enter the first frame 110 accurately and quickly.
[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the core waste bin further includes a fixing mechanism 600, which is connected to the base 100 and configured to fix the bin body 200 to the base 100.
[0045] When the container 200 is placed on the base 100, the fixing mechanism 600 can fix the container 200 to the base 100, preventing the container 200 from detaching from the base 100 during use. When the collection of core waste is completed or the container 200 is full of core waste and needs to be transferred to the core waste treatment location, the fixing mechanism 600 disconnects from the container 200, allowing the container 200 to detach from the base 100.
[0046] Specifically, the fixing mechanism 600 includes a fixing clamp 610 and a second telescopic rod 620. One end of the fixing clamp 610 is hinged to the base 100. One end of the second telescopic rod 620 is fixed, and the other end of the second telescopic rod 620 is hinged to the fixing clamp 610. The second telescopic rod 620 is configured to drive the fixing clamp 610 to rotate so that the free end of the fixing clamp 610 abuts against the housing 200.
[0047] When the fixing mechanism 600 is used to fix the housing 200 to the base 100, the second telescopic rod 620 is extended. The driving end of the second telescopic rod 620 drives the fixing clamp 610 to rotate, so that the free end of the fixing clamp 610 gradually approaches the housing 200 until it presses against the housing 200. When it is necessary to disengage the housing 200 from the base 100, the second telescopic rod 620 is shortened. The driving end of the second telescopic rod 620 drives the fixing clamp 610 to rotate, so that the free end of the fixing clamp 610 moves away from the housing 200.
[0048] For example, the second telescopic rod 620 can be an electric push rod or a hydraulic cylinder.
[0049] In some other embodiments of this application, the fixing mechanism 600 may also be in other structural forms. For example, the fixing mechanism 600 includes a linear module and a fixing plate. The linear module is fixedly connected to the base 100, and the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the slide of the linear module. The fixing plate moves closer to and further away from the housing 200 under the action of the slide of the linear module, and can press against the housing 200 to fix the housing 200 to the base 100.
[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the housing 200 includes a first storage section 210, a second storage section 220, and two support sections 230. The first storage section 210 is connected to the top of the second storage section 220, the top surface of the second storage section 220 has an opening, and the first storage section 210 extends beyond the second storage section 220 from both sides. The portions of the second storage section 220 extending beyond the first storage section 210 have an inclined bottom surface. The two support sections 230 are respectively connected to the portions of the second storage section 220 extending beyond the first storage section 210, forming a support space between them and the second storage section 220.
[0051] When the box 200 is installed on the base 100, the first storage section 210 is located inside the base 100, the supporting section 230 is pressed against the top of the base 100, and the second storage section 220 is located above the base 100. When using this core waste box to collect core waste, the first storage section 210 and the second storage section 220 are used to hold the core waste; the core waste first enters the second storage section 220 through the opening, and then enters the first storage section 210 through the second storage section 220, and the core waste that falls on the bottom surface of the second storage section 220 slides down to the first storage section 210 under the action of gravity; when the first storage section 210 is filled with core waste, the core waste falls into the second storage section 220.
[0052] After the housing 200 is filled or the core waste collection is completed, the two forks of the forklift are extended into the two carrying spaces respectively. When the forks move upward, the housing 200 is raised as a whole through the second storage section 220. Furthermore, the portions of the carrying section 230 and the second storage section 220 that extend beyond the first storage section 210 limit the forks to prevent the housing 200 from falling off the forks.
[0053] In some other embodiments of this application, the box 200 has other structural forms. For example, the box 200 includes a cylinder and two lifting lugs. The top surface of the cylinder has an opening, the inside of the cylinder is used to collect core waste, and the two lifting lugs are fixedly connected to the top surface of the cylinder.
[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the core waste bin further includes an elastic element 700, with its two ends connected to the cover 300 and the bin body 200, respectively, for applying elastic potential energy to the cover 300 to cause the cover 300 to rotate toward the bin body 200. Exemplarily, the elastic element 700 can be a tension spring.
[0055] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. For the same or similar parts between the various embodiments, please refer to each other. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments.
[0056] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit this application. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
