Description

Compactor structure of garbage station Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of waste collection equipment technology, and in particular to a gripper structure for a waste compression station. Background Technology

[0002] Waste compression involves both physical and chemical compression processes. Physical compression refers to using external pressure to reduce the gaps between various substances in the waste, thereby decreasing the space available for these substances and increasing the waste's density. Waste compression stations are one of the main pieces of equipment for reducing waste volume and are also a primary processing facility in waste transfer stations.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Application No. CN202420478054.8 discloses a gripper device for a waste compression station and a waste compression station. The waste compression station includes a feeding mechanism and a waste compression box. The waste compression box and the feeding mechanism are connected via a gripper device. The gripper device includes a drive mechanism, a gripper, a gripper body, and a limiting mechanism. The drive mechanism is fixedly installed, and the gripper body is installed on the waste compression box. One end of the gripper is connected to the drive mechanism, which provides driving force to the gripper. The other end of the gripper is connected to the gripper body, and the gripper and gripper body cooperate to connect the feeding mechanism and the waste compression box. The limiting mechanism is connected to one end of the gripper, and the limiting mechanism and the drive mechanism cooperate to prevent the gripper from colliding with the waste compression box.

[0004] The limiting mechanism includes a limiting seat, a first limiting shaft, and a second limiting shaft. The limiting seat is disposed on the feeding mechanism and has a first sliding groove and a second sliding groove, which are spaced apart. The first sliding groove includes a first straight groove and a first arcuate groove, which are integrally formed. The second sliding groove includes a second straight groove and a second arcuate groove, which are integrally formed. The first arcuate groove and the second arcuate groove are arranged in opposite directions. The driving mechanism is connected to one end of the gripper via the first limiting shaft, which is used to slide and limit within the first sliding groove. The second limiting shaft is connected to one end of the gripper, which is used to slide and limit within the second sliding groove.

[0005] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the following technical defects exist and require improvement:

[0006] Common gripper devices require two J-shaped grooves arranged in opposite directions on the limit seat to allow the two limit shafts to slide separately in order to convert the linear motion of the drive mechanism into the rotational locking action of the gripper. Therefore, the limit seat is relatively wide and the rotation range of the gripper is also relatively large, which results in a relatively large maximum width of the waste compression station, making it unsuitable for operation in confined areas. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This application provides a gripper structure for a waste compression station to improve the following technical problems:

[0008] Common gripper devices require two J-shaped grooves arranged in opposite directions on the limit seat to allow the two limit shafts to slide separately in order to convert the linear motion of the drive mechanism into the rotational locking action of the gripper. Therefore, the limit seat is relatively wide and the rotation range of the gripper is also relatively large, which results in a relatively large maximum width of the waste compression station, making it unsuitable for operation in confined areas.

[0009] This application provides a gripper structure for a waste compression station, employing the following technical solution:

[0010] A gripper structure for a waste compression station includes a hinged seat, a limiting seat, a telescopic power source, and a gripper hook. Both the hinged seat and the limiting seat are mounted on the side wall of the waste compression station body. The tail end of the telescopic power source is hinged to the hinged seat. The head end of the telescopic rod of the telescopic power source is movably connected to the tail end of the gripper hook via a rotating structure. The limiting seat has an internally hollow structure, and the rotating structure is located inside the limiting seat. The limiting seat is provided with a single slide rail, which includes a straight slide groove and an arc-shaped slide groove. The straight slide groove is located between the arc-shaped slide groove and the telescopic power source. A limiting shaft and a steering shaft are also fixed to the gripper hook. The limiting shaft reciprocates within the straight slide groove, and the steering shaft reciprocates within the arc-shaped slide groove.

[0011] In one feasible technical solution of this application, both ends of the single slide are set as arc concave surfaces, the limiting shaft includes a first cylinder adapted to the straight slide groove, and the steering shaft includes a second cylinder adapted to the arc slide groove.

[0012] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the first cylinder is fixed to the upper surface of the claw hook by a first bolt, and the second cylinder is fixed to the upper surface of the claw hook by a second bolt.

[0013] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the top of the limiting seat is detachably fitted with a cover plate by multiple screws, and the single slide is provided on the cover plate.

[0014] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the rotating structure includes a U-shaped seat at the tail end of the claw hook and a disc-shaped connector at the head end of the telescopic rod of the telescopic power source. The disc-shaped connector is inserted into the U-shaped seat and hinged by a pin.

[0015] In one feasible technical solution of this application, a first baffle is provided inside the limiting seat. When the inner side of the claw hook rotates to abut against the first baffle, the claw hook and the telescopic power source are on the same straight line.

[0016] In one feasible technical solution of this application, a second baffle is further provided inside the limiting seat. When the outer side of the claw hook rotates to abut against the second baffle, the claw hook and the telescopic power source are on the same straight line.

[0017] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the telescopic power source is a hydraulic cylinder.

[0018] In one feasible technical solution of this application, a rubber plate is bonded and fixed to the inner side of the claw hook.

[0019] In one feasible technical solution of this application, both the claw hook and the limiting seat are made of steel plate, and the inside of the claw hook is a hollow structure.

[0020] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] Unlike common gripper devices, the single slide allows both the limiting shaft and the steering shaft to slide simultaneously. Combined with the feature that the head end of the telescopic rod of the telescopic power source and the tail end of the claw hook are connected by a rotating structure, when the telescopic rod of the telescopic power source extends forward, the claw hook will rotate from the locked state to the open state. The limiting seat is reduced from the common double slide structure to a single slide, so the width of the limiting seat can be designed to be smaller, and the rotation range of the claw hook is also relatively smaller, indirectly reducing the maximum width of the waste compression station, making it more suitable for operation in narrow areas.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0038] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to Figures 1-3.

[0039] This application discloses a gripper structure for a garbage compression station. Referring to Figures 1-3, the gripper structure for the garbage compression station includes a hinge seat 1, a limiting seat 2, a telescopic power source 3, and a claw hook 4. Both the hinge seat 1 and the limiting seat 2 are mounted on the side wall of the main body of the garbage compression station. The tail end of the telescopic power source 3 is hinged to the hinge seat 1. The head end of the telescopic rod of the telescopic power source 3 is movably connected to the tail end of the claw hook 4 via a rotating structure 100. The limiting seat 2 has an internally hollow structure, and the rotating structure 100 is located inside the limiting seat 2. The limiting seat 2 is provided with... A single slide rail 21 is provided, which includes a straight slide rail 211 and an arc-shaped slide rail 212. The straight slide rail 211 is located between the arc-shaped slide rail 212 and the telescopic power source 3. A limit shaft 5 and a steering shaft 6 are also fixed on the claw hook 4. The limit shaft 5 slides back and forth in the straight slide rail 211, and the steering shaft 6 slides back and forth in the arc-shaped slide rail 212. The telescopic power source 3 is a hydraulic cylinder. The claw hook 4 and the limit seat 2 are both made of steel plates. The inside of the claw hook 4 is a hollow structure.

[0040] In this embodiment, both ends of the single slide 21 are set as concave arc surfaces 213. The limiting shaft 5 includes a first cylinder 51 adapted to the straight slide groove 211, and the steering shaft 6 includes a second cylinder 61 adapted to the arc-shaped slide groove 212. The first cylinder 51 is fixed to the upper surface of the claw hook 4 by a first bolt 52, and the second cylinder 61 is fixed to the upper surface of the claw hook 4 by a second bolt 62.

[0041] Compared to a through-type pin, the limiting shaft 5 and steering shaft 6 designed above are shorter and do not need to directly penetrate the claw hook 4, thus having less impact on the structural strength of the claw hook 4, a simpler fixing method, and are easier to assemble and disassemble.

[0042] In this embodiment, the top of the limiting seat 2 is detachably fitted with a cover plate 22 by multiple screws 23, and a single slide rail 21 is provided on the cover plate 22. The cover plate 22 is detachable, which facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the single slide rail 21 and also facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the limiting shaft 5 and the steering shaft 6.

[0043] In this embodiment, the rotating structure 100 includes a U-shaped seat 41 at the tail end of the claw hook 4 and a disc-shaped connector 31 at the head end of the telescopic rod of the telescopic power source 3. The disc-shaped connector 31 is inserted into the U-shaped seat 41 and hinged through a pin. The rotating structure 100 designed above is simple in structure, flexible in connection, and has a more direct and stable transmission effect.

[0044] To prevent the claw hook 4 from rotating excessively and thus protect the trash can from being pinched, a rubber plate 42 is glued and fixed to the inner side of the claw hook 4. A first baffle 24 is provided inside the limiting seat 2. When the inner side of the claw hook 4 rotates to abut against the first baffle 24, the claw hook 4 and the telescopic power source 3 are on the same straight line. A second baffle 25 is also provided inside the limiting seat 2. When the outer side of the claw hook 4 rotates to abut against the second baffle 25, the claw hook 4 and the telescopic power source 3 are on the same straight line.

[0045] The beneficial technical effects of the compression garbage station gripper structure in this application embodiment are roughly as follows:

[0046] Unlike common gripper devices, the single slide 21 allows both the limiting shaft 5 and the steering shaft 6 to slide together. Combined with the feature that the telescopic rod of the telescopic power source 3 is connected to the tail end of the claw hook 4 through the rotating structure 100, when the telescopic rod of the telescopic power source 3 extends forward, the claw hook 4 will rotate from the locked state to the open state. The limiting seat 2 is reduced from the common double slide structure to a single slide 21, so the width of the limiting seat 2 can be designed to be smaller, and the rotation amplitude of the claw hook 4 is also relatively small, which indirectly reduces the maximum width of the waste compression station, making it more suitable for operation in narrow areas.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
