Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of waste conveying and recycling technology, specifically relating to a conveying, turning and dumping device. Background Technology

[0002] A material dumping device is a piece of equipment used to dump materials (generally referring to waste). Most existing technologies use assembly lines to dump waste, primarily by placing the waste directly on a conveyor belt and then placing a container at the end of the conveyor belt. The waste automatically falls into the container after traveling to the end of the conveyor belt. The drawback of this approach is that the waste is in direct contact with the conveyor belt. Medical waste, often simply called medical waste, generally refers to waste generated by medical and health institutions during medical, preventative, healthcare, and other related activities that has direct or indirect infectiousness, toxicity, or other hazards. Medical waste and other easily polluting wastes cannot be dumped using existing conveyor belt technologies.

[0003] In current practical applications, there are generally two methods for handling medical waste. The first is incineration, where workers wearing medical protective suits transport medical waste bins to the incineration chamber to dump the waste. This process is cumbersome and has a low degree of automation. The second method is to place the medical waste in a container and then dump it using the container. This method requires the use of robotic arms in conjunction with an assembly line to dump the medical waste, but this approach requires expensive robotic arms, resulting in high costs. In addition, the containers used to hold medical waste are generally plastic, and the robotic arms are prone to damaging the plastic containers due to the large clamping force, which urgently needs improvement.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention will be further described below through specific embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 6As shown, a conveying and tilting dumping device for dumping waste from a waste bin 6 includes a frame 1, a conveyor line 2 mounted on the frame 1 for conveying the waste bin 6, a waste hopper 3 mounted on the frame 1 below the conveyor line 2 for receiving waste, a clamping and positioning mechanism 4 mounted on the frame 1 for clamping and fixing the waste bin 6, and a tilting mechanism 5 mounted on the frame 1 and connected to and driving the conveyor line 2 to tilt. During operation, the waste bin 6 containing waste is conveyed to the conveyor line 2 and continues to be conveyed to the dumping position where it is clamped and fixed by the clamping and positioning mechanism 4. Then, the tilting mechanism 5 drives the conveyor line 2 to tilt downwards, causing the waste bin 6 to tilt downwards and fall into the waste hopper 3. At this point, the waste can be transported to the corresponding processing equipment via the waste hopper 3. The operation is simple and can be performed without relying on a large robotic arm. The conveyor line 2 is a commonly used conveying device in mechanical equipment; its specific structure and working principle will not be further elaborated here.

[0026] The waste hopper 3 includes a guide section 31 with a constricted opening structure set on the frame 1 and a conveying section 32 connected to the lower end of the guide section 31. The guide section 31 allows the waste hopper 3 to receive waste over a large range, ensuring that the waste falling downwards can smoothly enter the conveying section 32.

[0027] The clamping and positioning mechanism 4 includes a clamping frame 41 disposed on one side of the conveyor line 2, two clamping components 42 disposed on the conveyor line 2 that can move towards or away from each other, a through-beam sensor 43 disposed on the conveyor line 2 for detecting the position of the waste bin, and a moving mechanism 44 disposed on the clamping frame 41 and connected to and driving the two clamping components 42 to move. The through-beam sensor 43 is a through-beam photoelectric sensor. When the through-beam sensor 43 detects that the waste bin has been conveyed to the correct position, the moving mechanism 44 drives the two clamping components 42 to move towards each other to clamp and fix the waste bin 6.

[0028] The clamping assembly 42 includes a clamping plate 421 movably mounted on the conveyor line 2 and a plurality of guide wheels 422 arranged at intervals on the upper end of the clamping plate 421 along the conveying direction of the waste bin 6. The waste bin 6 can be clamped and fixed between the plurality of guide wheels 422 opposite to each other in the two clamping assemblies 42. Specifically, the clamping plate 421 includes a main body section 423 disposed below the conveyor line 2 and connected to the moving mechanism 44, and a plurality of clamping sections 424 spaced apart on the main body section 423 extending upward through the conveyor line 2. The system includes a connecting section 425 connected to the upper end of multiple clamping sections 424 and a guide section 426 inclined outward at the front end of the connecting section 425. Multiple guide wheels 422 are spaced apart on the connecting section 425. The waste bin 6 enters between the two connecting sections 425 under the action of the two guide sections 426. Furthermore, the guide wheels 422 can be made of rubber, which can clamp the waste bin 6 without damaging it, and can center and align the waste bin 6 to provide positional accuracy for the next work station.

[0029] The moving mechanism 44 includes a clamping motor 441 mounted on a clamping frame 41, a clamping screw 442 connected to the clamping motor 441, two nut seats 443 threadedly adapted to the clamping screw 442 and movable toward or away from each other, two guide rods 444 rotatably mounted on the clamping frame 41 on both sides of the clamping screw 442, and two guide seats 445 spaced apart on the opposite guide rods 444 and respectively connected to the two clamping assemblies 42. The two nut seats 443 are respectively connected to the two clamping plates 421, and the two guide seats 445 on the same guide rod 444 are respectively connected to the two clamping plates 421. The clamping screw 442 is coordinated with the two guide rods 444 to enable the two clamping plates 421 to move back and forth stably.

[0030] The flipping mechanism 5 includes a first flipping frame 51 and a second flipping frame 52 disposed opposite to each other on the frame 1, a first rotating shaft 53 rotatably disposed on the first flipping frame 51 and connected to one side of the conveyor line 2, a second rotating shaft 54 ​​rotatably disposed on the second flipping frame 52 and connected to the other side of the conveyor line 2, and a flipping assembly 55 disposed on the first flipping frame 51 and connected to the first rotating shaft 53. The conveyor line 2 is fixed between the first rotating shaft 53 and the second rotating shaft 54. One end of the first rotating shaft 53 is rotatably disposed on the first flipping frame 51 through a first bearing seat 56, and the other end is connected to one side of the conveyor line 2 through a flange. One end of the second rotating shaft 54 ​​is rotatably disposed on the second flipping frame 52 through a second bearing seat 57, and the other end is connected to the other side of the conveyor line 2 through a flange 58.

[0031] The flipping assembly 55 includes a flipping motor 551 mounted on a first flipping frame 51, a first transmission sprocket 552 connected to the output shaft of the flipping motor 551, a second transmission sprocket 553 connected to the end of a first rotating shaft 53, and a transmission chain 554 disposed between the first transmission sprocket 552 and the second transmission sprocket 553, wherein the transmission chain 554 meshes with the first transmission sprocket 552 and the second transmission sprocket 553 respectively.

[0032] During unloading, the waste bin 6 is conveyed to the conveyor line 2 and continues to be conveyed forward under the action of the conveyor line 2. When the through-beam sensor 43 detects that the waste bin 6 has been conveyed to the unloading position, the clamping motor 441 works to drive the clamping screw 442 to rotate, so that the two clamping plates 421 move towards each other, so that the waste bin 6 is clamped and fixed between several opposing guide wheels 422. At this time, the flipping motor 551 controls the first transmission sprocket 552 to rotate. Under the action of the transmission chain 554 and the second transmission sprocket 553, the first rotating shaft 53 rotates, driving the second rotating shaft 54 ​​to rotate, so that the conveyor line 2 drives the waste bin 6 to flip downward, and the waste in the waste bin 6 can fall freely into the waste hopper 3, and be conveyed to the corresponding processing equipment through the waste hopper 3. After the waste is unloaded, the conveyor line 2 flips upward and resets, and the two clamping plates 421 move away from each other to release the waste bin 6, so that the waste bin 6 can continue to move to the next station.

[0033] This application defines the structure of the flipping and unloading device, sets up a flipping mechanism 5 to drive the conveyor line 2 to flip, and sets up a clamping and positioning mechanism 4 on the conveyor line 2 to clamp and fix the waste box 6 conveyed to the conveyor line 2, preventing the waste box from shaking during the downward flipping process of the conveyor line 2; the overall structure of the device is simple, which allows the waste box 6 to be continuously conveyed in the production line and the waste in the waste box 6 to be flipped downward and unloaded, so as to replace manual labor and improve work efficiency.
