Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste collection and treatment equipment, and more particularly to a mobile waste transfer station hopper device. Background Technology

[0002] The hopper device of the mobile waste transfer station is the main component for loading waste. The collection vehicle dumps the waste into the hopper device, which rotates around a fixed point under the drive of the hydraulic device. The rotation angle can reach 180 degrees. When the hopper device rotates to the highest point, it can dump all the waste in the hopper into the compression chamber. At the same time, the compression chamber can be sealed to prevent the waste from being exposed and scattering or emitting odors.

[0003] Existing hopper devices have a horizontal lower structure and small volume, making it easy for garbage to scatter outside the hopper when the collection vehicle dumps it. Therefore, this utility model provides a mobile garbage transfer station hopper device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mobile waste transfer station hopper device that makes the unloading process of the collection vehicle convenient and stable.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following measures:

[0006] A mobile waste transfer station hopper device is characterized by comprising a hopper body, a sinking chamber disposed on the bottom surface of the hopper body, and an inclined surface on one side of the sinking chamber near the feed inlet of the hopper body. A pit is disposed on the ground to cooperate with the sinking chamber. When a collection vehicle dumps waste through the feed inlet of the hopper body, the waste enters the sinking chamber through the inclined surface. During this process, the waste is buffered, avoiding dust and other problems caused by the lack of buffer. In addition, when the hopper device rotates and dumps waste into the compression chamber, the waste on the inclined surface is also easy to fall off. After the waste is compressed in the compression chamber, it is sent to a storage bin for storage and subsequent processing.

[0007] The specific features of this utility model also include:

[0008] The hopper body has grooves on both the left and right sides, and irregular plates are slidably arranged between the grooves on both sides. The irregular plates are in contact with the bottom surface of the hopper body, the sinking chamber and the inclined surface.

[0009] Two circular tubes are respectively provided on the upper side of the groove. Circular tube one corresponds to the bottom surface of the hopper body, and circular tube two corresponds to the sinking chamber. The distance from the free end of circular tube one to the shaped plate is the same as the distance from the free end of circular tube two to the shaped plate. A circular rod one is slidably disposed inside circular tube one, and a circular rod two is slidably disposed inside circular tube two. The free ends of both circular rod one and circular rod two are disposed on the shaped plate. The structural arrangement of circular tube one, circular tube two, and circular rod one and circular rod two makes the shaped plate slide more smoothly and prevents it from getting stuck inside the hopper body.

[0010] Both the first and second round rods are fitted with springs. The upper end of the spring is fixed to the first or second round tube, and the lower end of the spring is fixed with a rubber annular pad that works with the shaped plate. When the garbage in the collection vehicle is poured onto the shaped plate, and the hopper device rotates to pour the garbage into the compression chamber, the shaped plate will slide down under the action of gravity and touch the rubber annular pad. At the same time, under the action of the spring, there will be a brief reciprocating motion. During this process, the garbage stuck to the shaped plate will easily fall off, effectively reducing the problem of incomplete dumping due to garbage sticking.

[0011] An inclined plate is provided on the upper side of the groove. When the hopper device rotates and pours garbage into the compression chamber, the inclined plate avoids the problem of garbage remaining on the upper side of the groove.

[0012] A baffle mechanism is provided at the feed inlet of the hopper body. The baffle mechanism is used to further contain the garbage, which allows the hopper device to hold more garbage while preventing garbage from falling to the outside.

[0013] The baffle mechanism includes a through groove on the lower side of the feed inlet of the hopper body, a baffle is slidably disposed in the through groove, and a pair of locking mechanisms are provided on the upper side of the baffle.

[0014] The locking mechanism includes a slot on the side plate at the feed inlet of the hopper body, a rotating shaft on the upper side of the baffle, and a locking plate that cooperates with the slot on the rotating shaft.

[0015] The corresponding end of the card plate is provided with a lead screw, and a matching retaining ring is provided on the lead screw. The free end of the retaining ring is provided with a handle. When the card plate is manually rotated into the slot, the handle is manually rotated to make the retaining ring lock into the side plate of the hopper body, thereby fixing the baffle. The sliding of the baffle is also done manually.

[0016] When the collection vehicle unloads, the garbage can be directly dumped into the lower hopper without scattering or incomplete emptying. After unloading, the hopper device slowly rotates to the upper part of the compression chamber. During rotation, the garbage in the hopper slowly flows into the compression chamber along the bottom incline until all the garbage is poured into the compression chamber, completing one garbage dumping cycle. After dumping, the hopper device, driven by the hydraulic system, rotates back to its initial position around the rotation point, ready for the next unloading by the collection vehicle. This cycle is repeated multiple times until the mobile garbage transfer station is full.

[0017] It should be noted that the purpose of the baffle is to further prevent garbage from leaking out and increase the amount of garbage that the hopper device can hold. Specifically, when the collection vehicle is unloading, the baffle can be lowered (to avoid affecting the unloading). After unloading, if there is a lot of garbage, some garbage will leak out. At this time, the baffle is raised, and then the garbage that leaked out is filled back into the hopper device. After that, the hopper device rotates.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the design of the sinking chamber in this solution allows the garbage to be directly dumped into the sinking chamber when the collection vehicle is unloading, without the phenomenon of garbage scattering or not being completely disposed of.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the following detailed implementation method will be used to explain the solution.

[0030] See Figures 1-6 A mobile waste transfer station hopper device includes a hopper body 4, a sinking chamber 17 is provided on the bottom surface inside the hopper body 4, and the side of the sinking chamber 17 near the feed inlet of the hopper body 4 is set as an inclined surface 18. A pit is provided on the ground to cooperate with the sinking chamber 17. When the collection vehicle dumps waste through the feed inlet of the hopper body 4, the waste will enter the sinking chamber 17 through the inclined surface 18. During this process, the waste is buffered, avoiding dust and other problems caused by the lack of buffer. In addition, when the hopper device 3 rotates and dumps waste into the compression chamber 2, the waste on the inclined surface 18 is also easy to fall off. After the waste is compressed in the compression chamber 2, it will be sent to the storage box 1 for storage and subsequent processing.

[0031] The hopper body 4 has grooves 7 on both the left and right sides, and irregular plates 9 are slidably arranged between the grooves 7 on both sides. The irregular plates 9 are in contact with the bottom surface, the lower chamber 17 and the inclined surface 18 of the hopper body 4.

[0032] A circular tube 5 and a circular tube 8 are respectively provided on the upper side of the groove 7. The circular tube 5 corresponds to the bottom surface of the hopper body 4, and the circular tube 8 corresponds to the sinking chamber 17. The distance from the free end of the circular tube 5 to the irregular plate 9 is the same as the distance from the free end of the circular tube 8 to the irregular plate 9. A circular rod 6 is slidably provided inside the circular tube 5, and a circular rod 2 is slidably provided inside the circular tube 8. The free ends of the circular rods 6 and 2 are both provided on the irregular plate 9. The structure of the circular tubes 5, 8, 6, and 2 makes the irregular plate 9 slide more smoothly and prevents it from getting stuck in the hopper body 4.

[0033] Both the first round rod 6 and the second round rod are fitted with springs 11. The upper end of the spring 11 is fixed to the first round tube 5 or the second round tube 8, and the lower end of the spring 11 is fixed with a rubber ring pad 12 that works with the irregular plate 9. When the garbage in the collection vehicle is poured onto the irregular plate 9, and the hopper device 3 rotates and pours the garbage into the compression chamber 2, the irregular plate 9 will slide down under the action of gravity and touch the rubber ring pad 12. At the same time, under the action of the spring 11, there will be a brief reciprocating motion. During this process, the garbage stuck to the irregular plate 9 will easily fall off, effectively reducing the problem of garbage not being completely poured due to sticking.

[0034] An inclined plate is provided on the upper side of the groove 7. When the hopper device 3 rotates and pours garbage into the compression chamber 2, the inclined plate avoids the problem of garbage remaining on the upper side of the groove 7.

[0035] A baffle mechanism is provided at the feed inlet of the hopper body 4. The baffle mechanism is used to further contain the garbage, which allows the hopper device 3 to hold more garbage and prevents the garbage from falling to the outside.

[0036] The baffle mechanism includes a through groove 19 provided on the lower side of the feed inlet of the hopper body 4, a baffle 10 slidably provided in the through groove 19, and a pair of locking mechanisms provided on the upper side of the baffle 10.

[0037] The locking mechanism includes a slot 13 on the side plate at the feed inlet of the hopper body 4, a rotating shaft 21 on the upper side of the baffle 10, and a locking plate 14 that cooperates with the slot 13 on the rotating shaft 21.

[0038] A lead screw 20 is provided at the corresponding end of the clamping plate 14, and a matching retaining ring 15 is provided on the lead screw 20. A handle 16 is provided at the free end of the retaining ring 15. When the clamping plate 14 is rotated into the clamping groove 13, the handle 16 is rotated so that the retaining ring 15 is clamped on the side plate of the hopper body 4, thereby fixing the baffle 10.

[0039] When the collection vehicle unloads, the garbage can be directly dumped into the lower hopper without scattering or incomplete emptying. After unloading, the hopper device 3 slowly rotates to the upper part of the compression chamber 2. During rotation, the garbage in the hopper slowly flows into the compression chamber 2 along the bottom incline until all the garbage is poured into the compression chamber 2, completing one garbage dumping cycle. After dumping, the hopper device 3, driven by the hydraulic system, rotates back to its initial position around the rotation point, ready for the next unloading by the collection vehicle. This cycle is repeated multiple times until the mobile garbage transfer station is full.

[0040] It should be noted that the purpose of the baffle 10 is to further prevent garbage from leaking out and increase the amount of garbage that the hopper device 3 can hold. Specifically, when the collection vehicle is unloading, the baffle 10 can be lowered (to avoid affecting the unloading). After unloading, if there is a lot of garbage, some garbage will leak out. At this time, the baffle 10 is raised, and then the garbage that leaked out is filled back into the hopper device 3. After that, the hopper device 3 rotates.

[0041] The technical features of this utility model not described can be implemented by or by using existing technology, and will not be repeated here. Of course, the above description is not a limitation of this utility model, and this utility model is not limited to the examples above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of this utility model should also be within the protection scope of this utility model.
