Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical control technology, and in particular to a low-power electrical control device for a laundry trough with multiple opening methods. Background Technology
[0002] The soiled laundry chute is a stainless steel cylinder. Garbage is deposited from each floor and discharged vertically to the basement or ground floor drain, which leads to the temporary storage room or laundry room. It is the most efficient facility for quickly, hygienically, and economically transporting soiled laundry to the ground floor laundry room. It is widely used in hotels and hospitals for clothing collection and processing, which can not only reduce pollution and speed up transportation, but also reduce manpower and lower costs.
[0003] In the prior art, Chinese patent CN205370361U discloses a fireproof device for laundry troughs. This device is simple in structure, easy to operate, and ingeniously designed; it is highly responsive and safe; it can automatically reset and has high work efficiency. However, in practical applications, existing laundry troughs have multiple dispensing doors that can be opened simultaneously. This may cause dirty clothes placed on higher floors to fall into the lower floors instead of reaching the bottom of the trough, requiring staff to re-dispense the clothes, leading to re-contamination and affecting staff efficiency. Therefore, we disclose a low-power electrical control device for laundry troughs with multiple door opening methods. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a low-power electrical control device for a laundry trough with multiple opening methods, so as to solve the problem that when multiple dispensing doors of the laundry trough can be opened at the same time, clothes cannot fall smoothly to the bottom.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a low-power electrical control device for a laundry trough with multiple opening methods, comprising a laundry trough body, a plurality of switch doors rotatably connected to one end of the laundry trough body, a first moving groove being provided at the top of the switch doors, a plurality of second moving grooves being provided on one side of the laundry trough body, a second moving block being slidably connected in the second moving groove, a first moving block being rotatably connected in the first moving groove, the first moving block being semi-circular, a first electromagnet being fixedly connected to the top of the first moving block, a second electromagnet being fixedly connected to one side of the second moving block, the bottom end of the second moving block being in contact with the top surface of the first moving block, the second electromagnet and the first electromagnet being compatible, a first connecting line being fixedly connected to the top of the second electromagnet, a second controller being fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting line, a third connecting line being fixedly connected to one side of the second controller, and a plurality of first controllers being fixedly connected to the middle of the third connecting line.
[0006] Preferably, a plurality of limiting frames are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the laundry trough body, a push rod is slidably connected to the middle of the limiting frame, a second spring is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod, one end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the limiting frame, and the other end of the push rod is in contact with the switch door.
[0007] Preferably, the push rod is a T-shaped rod, and the limiting frame has a T-shaped hole starting from the middle.
[0008] Preferably, a plurality of fourth movable slots are provided on one side of the laundry trough body, a connection sensor is fixedly connected to one side of the push rod, the connection sensor is slidably connected in the fourth movable slot and fits against one side of the second electronic controller, two pressure controllers are fixedly connected to one side of the second electronic controller, a second connecting line is fixedly connected to one end of the second electronic controller, an indicator light is fixedly connected to one end of the second connecting line, and the indicator light is fixedly connected to the laundry trough body.
[0009] Preferably, a card reader and a pressure sensor are fixedly connected to one side of the first electronic controller via a first connecting line. A plurality of third moving slots are provided on one side of the laundry trough body. One end of a button slidably connected in the third moving slot extends to the outside of the laundry trough body. The other end of the button is fixedly connected to a first spring. One end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the laundry trough body. The button is I-shaped. The pressure sensor is located in the third moving slot and is in contact with the first spring.
[0010] Preferably, the card reader is fixedly connected to the laundry trough body, and both the first and second electronic controllers are fixedly connected to the laundry trough body.
[0011] Preferably, the second moving block includes a rectangular block and a triangular pyramid block, the rectangular block and the triangular pyramid block are fixedly connected, the triangular pyramid block is attached to the top surface of the first moving block, and the second moving groove is located at the upper end of the first moving groove.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The lower end of the second moving block falls from the second moving slot into the first moving slot, which restricts the rotation of the opening and closing door. The second electric controller controls the second electromagnet to be energized through the first connecting line, and the magnetism generated repulses the first electromagnet, causing the second moving block to move up into the second moving slot. The opening and closing door is no longer restricted in position and can be opened. After one opening and closing door is opened, the second electric controller transmits a signal to the third connecting line, so that the third connecting line controls the other second electric controllers not to open the remaining opening and closing doors. Thus, only one opening and closing door can be opened at a time when the laundry trough is in use, ensuring that dirty clothes can reach the bottom of the laundry trough smoothly. This avoids the situation where dirty clothes thrown from a higher position go out through the lower dropping door, and avoids the rework of workers and the re-contamination of dirty clothes.
[0013] By fixing the position of the limit bracket on the laundry trough body, the door is freed from the restriction of the second moving block. Under the action of the second spring, the push rod slides along the limit bracket to one end, pushing the door open and making it easy to use. When the push rod moves, it drives the connecting sensor to move, so that the second electronic controller senses the position of the connecting sensor through the pressure controller and monitors whether the door is open. At the same time, the indicator light changes color through the second connecting line, so that the indicator light turns red when the door is closed and green when it can be opened, so that the staff can identify whether the door is openable by the color of the indicator light, which is convenient for work.

[0024] like Figures 1-5As shown, a low-power electrical control device for a laundry trough with multiple opening methods includes a laundry trough body 1. A plurality of switch doors 2 are rotatably connected to one end of the laundry trough body 1. A first moving groove 3 is formed at the top of the switch doors 2. A plurality of second moving grooves 4 are formed on one side of the laundry trough body 1. A second moving block 7 is slidably connected within the second moving groove 4. A first moving block 5, which is semi-circular, is rotatably connected within the first moving groove 3. A first electromagnet 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the first moving block 5. A second electromagnet 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the second moving block 7. The bottom end of the second moving block 7 is in contact with the top surface of the first moving block 5. The second electromagnet 8 and the first electromagnet 6 are compatible. A first connecting wire 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the second electromagnet 8. One end of the first moving block 7 is fixedly connected to a second electric controller 11. A third connecting line 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the second electric controller 11. Several first electric controllers 10 are fixedly connected to the middle of the third connecting line 14. The second moving block 7 includes a rectangular block and a triangular pyramid block. The rectangular block and the triangular pyramid block are fixedly connected. The triangular pyramid block is in contact with the top surface of the first moving block 5. The second moving groove 4 is located at the upper end of the first moving groove 3. In use, the first moving groove 3 is opened at the top of the door 2. Several second moving grooves 4 are opened on one side of the laundry trough body 1. The second moving block 7 is slidably connected in the second moving groove 4. The first moving block 5 is rotatably connected in the first moving groove 3. The first moving block 5 is semi-circular so that when the first moving block 5 rotates in the first moving groove 3, it can change the second moving block 7. The height of block 7 allows the lower end of the second movable block 7 to fall from the second movable slot 4 into the first movable slot 3, thus restricting the rotation of the opening and closing door 2. A first electromagnet 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the first movable block 5, and a second electromagnet 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the second movable block 7. The bottom end of the second movable block 7 is in contact with the top surface of the first movable block 5. The second electromagnet 8 and the first electromagnet 6 are compatible. A first connecting wire 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the second electromagnet 8, and a second electronic controller 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting wire 9. The second electronic controller 11 controls the second electromagnet 8 to be energized through the first connecting wire 9, generating magnetism that repels the first electromagnet 6, thereby causing the second movable block 7 to move upward into the second movable slot 4, and the opening and closing door 2 loses its position restriction. The system can be opened by controlling the opening of one door 2. A third connecting line 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the second electric controller 11, and several first electric controllers 10 are fixedly connected to the middle of the third connecting line 14. This ensures that when one door 2 is opened, the second electric controller 11 sends a signal to the third connecting line 14, causing the third connecting line 14 to control the remaining second electric controllers 11 to prevent them from opening the other doors 2. This ensures that only one door 2 can be opened at a time during use, guaranteeing that dirty clothes reach the bottom of the laundry trough 1 smoothly and preventing dirty clothes from being thrown from a higher position and exiting through a lower door. This also prevents workers from repeating tasks and causing re-contamination of dirty clothes. The second moving block 7, consisting of a rectangular block and a triangular pyramid block, is fixedly connected to the second moving block.The triangular pyramid is attached to the top surface of the first movable block 5, and the second movable slot 4 is located above the first movable slot 3. This causes the first movable block 5 to rotate under the magnetic influence of the first electromagnet 6 and the second electromagnet 8, pushing the second movable block 7 upwards into the second movable slot 4, thus allowing the door 2 to open.
[0025] As a preferred embodiment of this example, Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, several limiting brackets 23 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the laundry trough body 1. A push rod 21 is slidably connected to the middle of the limiting bracket 23. A second spring 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod 21. One end of the second spring 24 is fixedly connected to the limiting bracket 23. The other end of the push rod 21 is in contact with the switch door 2. The push rod 21 is a T-shaped rod. A T-shaped hole is formed at the middle of the limiting bracket 23. Several fourth moving slots 22 are opened on one side of the laundry trough body 1. A connection sensor 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the push rod 21. The connection sensor 20 is slidably connected in the fourth moving slot 22 and in contact with one side of the second electric controller 11. Two pressure controllers are fixedly connected to one side of the second electric controller 11. A second connecting line 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the second electric controller 11. One end of the connecting wire 12 is fixedly connected to an indicator light 13, which is fixedly connected to the laundry trough body 1. A card reader 15 and a pressure sensor 16 are fixedly connected to one side of the first electronic controller 10 via the first connecting wire 9. Several third moving slots 17 are provided on one side of the laundry trough body 1. One end of a button 19, slidably connected within the third moving slot 17, extends to the outside of the laundry trough body 1. The other end of the button 19 is fixedly connected to a first spring 18, one end of which is fixedly connected to the laundry trough body 1. The button 19 is I-shaped. The pressure sensor 16 is located within the third moving slot 17 and is in contact with the first spring 18. The card reader 15 is fixedly connected to the laundry trough body 1. Both the first electronic controller 10 and the second electronic controller 11 are fixedly connected to the laundry trough body 1. A fixed connection is made, with several limiting brackets 23 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the laundry trough body 1. A push rod 21 is slidably connected to the middle of the limiting bracket 23. A second spring 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod 21, and one end of the second spring 24 is fixedly connected to the limiting bracket 23. The other end of the push rod 21 is in contact with the switch door 2, so that the laundry trough body 1 fixes the position of the limiting bracket 23. After the switch door 2 is no longer restricted by the second moving block 7, the push rod 21 slides along the limiting bracket 23 to one end under the action of the second spring 24, pushing the switch door 2 to open, making the switch door 2 easy to use. The push rod 21 is a T-shaped rod, and the limiting bracket 23 has a T-shaped hole in the middle, so that the limiting bracket 23 can restrict the sliding of the push rod 21. Several limiting brackets 23 are opened on one side of the laundry trough body 1. A connection sensor 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the push rod 21 in the fourth moving slot 22. The connection sensor 20 is slidably connected within the fourth moving slot 22 and fits against one side of the second electric controller 11. Two pressure controllers are fixedly connected to one side of the second electric controller 11. A second connecting line 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the second electric controller 11, and an indicator light 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the second connecting line 12. When the push rod 21 moves, it drives the connection sensor 20 to move, allowing the second electric controller 11 to sense the position of the connection sensor 20 through the pressure controllers and monitor whether the switch door 2 is open. At the same time, the indicator light 13 is changed in color through the second connecting line 12, turning red when the switch door 2 is in the closed / open state and green when it can be opened.This design allows staff to easily identify whether the door 2 is openable based on the color of the indicator light 13, facilitating operation. A card reader 15 and a pressure sensor 16 are fixedly connected to one side of the first electronic controller 10 via a first connecting line 9. Staff can swipe their card on the card reader 15, which then transmits a signal value through the first connecting line 9, causing the first electronic controller 10 to open the door 2. Several third moving slots 17 are provided on one side of the laundry trough body 1. A button 19, slidably connected within each third moving slot 17, extends from one end to the outside of the laundry trough body 1, while the other end of the button 19 is fixedly connected to a first spring 18. One end of the first spring 18 is fixedly connected to the laundry trough body 1. The button 19 is I-shaped. The pressure sensor 16 is located within the third moving slot 17 and is in contact with the first spring 18. Pressing the button 19 causes it to compress the pressure sensor 16, which in turn transmits a signal value, causing the first electronic controller 10 to open the door 2. This design prevents situations where staff forget their cards and are unable to open the door 2, ensuring ease of use.
