Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of unpacking technology for solid waste baled materials, and in particular to an integrated clamping and unpacking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Unpacking solid waste bales is a necessary step in waste disposal, recycling, and resource reuse. Solid waste bales contain various types of waste. Unpacking allows for the separation of these materials, facilitating subsequent sorting, processing, and resource reuse. For example, different materials such as plastics, paper, and metals require separate processing to improve recycling efficiency and value. Mixing different wastes can cause pollution, particularly the release of hazardous substances and toxic gases. Unpacking allows for better control and reduction of environmental pollution, especially important when dealing with electronic waste and chemical waste. Some wastes are compressed into large bales during solid waste baling; unpacking facilitates mechanical processing such as crushing, pulverizing, and sorting, improving production efficiency and reducing equipment wear. The binding material of the solid waste bales must be handled during unpacking. Bales may be bound with ropes or wire; these need to be cut during unpacking to quickly open the bales and prevent them from interfering with waste sorting and recycling. Failure to cut the ropes promptly may lead to machine malfunction or hinder the unpacking process.

[0003] Existing bag clamping machines often require manual adjustment of the clamping distance or intervention in complex operations, resulting in cumbersome operation procedures and frequent manual intervention. They also require manual disassembly of ropes and have relatively limited functionality when processing solid waste baled materials. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides an integrated clamping and unpacking mechanism.

[0005] The integrated clamping and unpacking mechanism provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An integrated clamping and unpacking mechanism, assembled on a forklift or other transport equipment, is used to clamp and unpack solid waste bales. It includes: a clamping structure consisting of two clamping plates; a connecting drive structure located at one end of the two clamping plates and connected to the forklift or other transport equipment; a scissor structure fixed to one end of one clamping plate away from the connecting drive structure; and a bale-gripping structure fixed to the other end of the clamping plate away from the connecting drive structure. The scissor structure and the bale-gripping structure are arranged opposite to each other. In use, the bale-gripping structure grips the bale ropes on the solid waste bales, and the scissor structure cuts the ropes to unpack the bales.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting drive structure drives the two clamping plates to move relative to each other; the connecting drive structure includes: a connecting frame that provides a device connection area to drive the component installation area, at least two hydraulic cylinders, two sliding rail frames in a group, and a cooperating sliding frame that is slidably connected to the sliding rail frames.

[0008] Preferably, the two hydraulic cylinders are arranged opposite each other, with one end fixed to the connecting frame and the other end mounted on the clamping plate. A bearing bracket is provided at the contact position with the clamping plate. In a set of sliding rail frames, each sliding rail frame is connected to clamping plate one and clamping plate two respectively. When the two hydraulic cylinders work, they drive clamping plate one and clamping plate two to move outward or inward at the same time, and at this time the sliding frame slides along the sliding rail frame.

[0009] Preferably, it further includes an anti-slip structure disposed at one end of the two clamps away from the connecting drive structure.

[0010] Preferably, the anti-slip structure includes: an extension clamp fixed to the clamp structure, and a plurality of anti-slip teeth arranged in a rectangular array on the inner side of the extension clamp.

[0011] Preferably, the scissor structure includes: a scissor positioning frame fixed to the inner side of one side clamp and screwed thereto, and two scissor racks with opposite blades on the two scissor racks, which move relative to each other during operation.

[0012] Preferably, the grabbing structure includes: a grabbing positioning frame fixed to the inner side of the other side clamp and screwed thereto, with two grabbing hook bars, and a plurality of crescent-shaped grabbing hooks arranged at equal intervals from top to bottom on the grabbing hook bars. The two grabbing hook bars move relative to each other, and the crescent-shaped grabbing hooks perform the grabbing action of the baling rope on the solid waste baling material.

[0013] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0014] By integrating multiple steps such as clamping, gripping, and shearing into one device, work efficiency can be greatly improved and tedious manual operations can be reduced, making it particularly suitable for unpacking and processing solid waste baled materials. The coordinated operation of the gripping and shearing structures allows for quick and precise gripping and shearing of the baling rope.

[0015] The anti-slip structure design ensures that the clamps firmly hold the baled solid waste, preventing slippage or falling during operation. The anti-slip teeth and extended clamps increase the contact area and friction of the clamped object, improving clamping stability and ensuring operator safety.

[0016] The opening and closing of the clamping plates is driven by a hydraulic cylinder, ensuring smooth and synchronized operation and preventing unbalanced movement. The design connecting the drive structure and the sliding track frame allows the clamping plates to maintain the correct trajectory during movement, ensuring precise operation.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0023] This application discloses an integrated clamping and unpacking mechanism. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 3 The system includes: clamping plate 1, clamping plate 2, connecting drive structure 3, anti-slip structure 4, scissor structure 5, and gripping structure 6. The clamping plate structure consists of two clamping plates (clamping plate 1 and clamping plate 2) capable of clamping solid waste bale material. The opening and closing distance of the two clamping plates can be adjusted relative to each other to accommodate solid waste bale material of different sizes. The connecting drive structure 3 is located at both ends of the clamping plates and is used to connect the equipment to a forklift or other transportation equipment. The scissor structure 5 is fixed to one end of the clamping plate away from the connecting drive structure 3. The scissor structure 5 is used to cut the bale ropes on the solid waste bale material, thereby realizing the unpacking operation. Cutting the ropes binding the bale material facilitates subsequent unpacking or recycling work. The gripping structure 6 is fixed to the other end of the clamping plate away from the connecting drive structure 3. The function of the gripping structure 6 is to grip the bale ropes on the bale material, preparing for the cutting operation of the scissor structure 5. Through gripping, the equipment can ensure that the bale ropes are firmly held, facilitating the smooth cutting action.

[0024] In actual use, the equipment is connected to a forklift or other transportation equipment via the drive structure 3, enabling easy transport and operation. During unpacking, the gripping structure 6 first grasps the packing rope on the solid waste bale, and then the scissor structure 5 cuts it to complete the unpacking operation using a forklift or other transportation equipment. The anti-slip structure 4 ensures that the clamps can firmly hold the solid waste bale, preventing slippage during operation.

[0025] The connecting drive structure 3 includes: a connecting frame 31, hydraulic cylinders 32, a sliding rail frame 33, and a mating sliding frame 34. The main function of the connecting frame 31 is to serve as a support and fixing structure, responsible for bearing other driving components. It not only provides a stable physical foundation for the entire equipment but also ensures the connection and coordination between components. The connecting drive structure 3 is equipped with at least two hydraulic cylinders 32, which are used in pairs. The hydraulic cylinders 32 drive the relative movement of the clamping plates by generating a strong pushing and pulling force. By controlling the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinders 32, the opening and closing actions of the clamping plates can be realized. This ensures that the clamping plates move smoothly and synchronously, preventing one side of the clamping plates from deviating from the movement. The sliding rail frame 33 consists of two sets. One set of sliding rail frames 33 is equipped with two slide rails. The function of the sliding rail frame 33 is to provide a precise sliding path for the clamping plates, thereby ensuring that the clamping plates always maintain the correct trajectory during movement. The mating sliding frame 34 is slidably connected to the sliding rail frame 33, allowing the clamping plates to move linearly under the guidance of the sliding rail frame 33.

[0026] In the above embodiment, two hydraulic cylinders 32 are further arranged opposite each other, with one end fixed to the connecting frame 31 and the other end connected to the clamping plate. The hydraulic cylinders 32 provide a driving force through the compression and expansion of the liquid, thereby driving the relative movement of the clamping plates. A bearing bracket is provided at the contact position between the hydraulic cylinders 32 and the clamping plates. The bracket's function is to distribute the force transmitted by the hydraulic cylinders 32, ensuring the stability of the clamping plates during movement and preventing deformation or imbalance of the clamping plates due to excessive pressure. Clamping plates 1 and 2 are the main working components, moving relative to each other through the action of the hydraulic cylinders 32. Changes in the relative position between the clamping plates can achieve the function of clamping or releasing objects. Each clamping plate is connected to the hydraulic cylinder 32 and the sliding rail frame 33, and their precise movement is controlled through the cooperation of these components. A single sliding rail frame 33 connects clamping plates 1 and 2 respectively. Under the push of the hydraulic cylinders 32, the clamping plates slide along the sliding rail frame 33, thereby ensuring that the clamping plates move smoothly within the predetermined track. The sliding track frame 33 provides a fixed track path, ensuring the stability of the clamping plate during movement and preventing imbalance or deviation from the track. The sliding frame 34 is slidably connected to the sliding track frame 33. When the hydraulic cylinder 32 drives the clamping plate to move outwards or inwards, the sliding frame 34 and the sliding track frame 33 work together to ensure the clamping plate slides correctly along the track.

[0027] In the above embodiment, an anti-slip structure 4 is further added, located at the end of the clamping plate away from the connecting drive structure 3. The anti-slip structure 4 helps ensure that the clamping plate can firmly hold the solid waste baled material, preventing slippage or falling, and improving work safety.

[0028] The anti-slip structure 4 includes an extension clamping plate 41 and anti-slip teeth 42. The extension clamping plate 41 is fixed to the clamping plate structure by welding or bolting. The function of the extension clamping plate 41 is to increase the contact area of ​​the clamping plate and provide more clamping force. When clamping larger or heavier objects, the extension clamping plate 41 can provide more uniform pressure. The anti-slip teeth 42 are located on the inner side of the extension clamping plate 41 and are arranged in a rectangular array. These anti-slip teeth 42 are usually made of hard materials (such as steel, alloys, etc.), which can provide high friction and prevent the clamping plate from slipping during operation, thus affecting the clamping effect. The rectangular array distribution of the anti-slip teeth 42 allows it to cover a wider clamping area, improve the friction effect, and evenly distribute pressure, ensuring a more secure contact between the clamping plate and the object.

[0029] The scissor structure 5 includes a scissor positioning frame 51 and scissor racks 52. The scissor positioning frame 51 is fixed to the inside of one side of the clamping plate and connected to the clamping plate by screws. The scissor positioning frame 51 provides fixed support for the scissor racks 52 and ensures the correct alignment and direction of movement of the racks. There are two scissor racks 52. The scissor racks 52 are made of metal material with sharp blades. The blades of the two scissor racks 52 are arranged in opposite directions, that is, the blade of one rack points in one direction and the blade of the other rack points in the opposite direction. This design ensures that the two racks can align with each other and cut during operation. During operation, the two scissor racks 52 move relative to each other, and the relative movement achieves the shearing or clamping action of the object. In actual use, the scissor racks 52 are driven by a cylinder or hydraulic cylinder 32. The scissor positioning frame 51 has a sliding cavity inside to provide the sliding of the scissor racks 52. The shearing action is achieved by the up and down displacement of the two scissor racks 52.

[0030] In practical use, the reverse blade design of the scissor rack 52 provides powerful shearing force, enabling precise and efficient cutting when clamping objects. The reverse blade design ensures symmetry and force distribution during the shearing process. The scissor positioning frame 51 is screwed to the inside of the clamping plate, ensuring the scissor rack 52 remains stable during operation, preventing offset or loosening, which is crucial for precise shearing and object clamping. Because the rack and positioning frame in the scissor structure 5 work together, the shearing action can be executed quickly and accurately, simplifying the operation and improving work efficiency.

[0031] The grabbing structure 6 includes a grabbing positioning frame 61 and grabbing hooks 62. The grabbing positioning frame 61 is fixed to the inside of the clamping plate and connected to the clamping plate by screws. The positioning frame stabilizes the position of the entire grabbing structure 6, enabling the grabbing hooks 62 to accurately perform the grabbing action during operation. There are two grabbing hooks 62, each with several crescent-shaped hooks evenly spaced from top to bottom. The crescent-shaped hooks can grab and secure the packing rope, ensuring the grabbing hooks 62 firmly grip the rope during the grabbing process. During operation, the two grabbing hooks 62 move relative to each other. The two grabbing hooks 62 are driven to move by a cylinder or hydraulic cylinder 32, enabling them to complete the grabbing action. The relative movement of the two grabbing hooks 62 causes the crescent-shaped hooks to grab the packing rope. When the grabbing hooks 62 approach the packing rope, the crescent-shaped hooks accurately grab the rope, thus completing the task of grabbing the packing rope.

[0032] In actual use, when the grabbing structure 6 is activated, the two grabbing hooks 62 move relative to each other, causing the crescent-shaped grabbing hooks to gradually approach the baling rope on the solid waste baling material. The crescent-shaped grabbing hook design allows it to generate sufficient clamping force during grabbing, ensuring the baling rope is firmly gripped. The crescent shape helps the grabbing hooks embed better into the surface of the baling rope, increasing the stability of the grabbing. The grabbing positioning frame 61 is fixed to the inside of the clamping plate by screws, ensuring the overall stability of the grabbing hooks 62 and the grabbing structure 6, making the grabbing process more precise and preventing mis-grabbing or loosening due to vibration or force fluctuations. The equidistantly spaced crescent-shaped grabbing hooks ensure that the grabbing hooks can evenly act on multiple positions of the baling rope during each grab, improving the efficiency and stability of the grabbing.

[0033] The actual working steps are as follows: The equipment is connected to a forklift or other transportation equipment via the connecting drive structure 3 (connecting frame 31, hydraulic cylinder 32, sliding rail frame 33, and cooperating sliding frame 34). Clamping plates 1 and 2 are in the open / closed state to facilitate clamping solid waste baled material. The hydraulic cylinder 32 drives clamping plates 1 and 2 to begin closing. The clamping plates stably hold the solid waste baled material through the anti-slip structure 4 (extended clamping plate 41 and anti-slip teeth 42), preventing the material from sliding or falling during clamping and ensuring clamping safety. After clamping the material, the grabbing structure 6 is activated. The two grabbing hooks 62 move relative to each other, and the crescent-shaped grabbing hooks accurately grab the baling rope on the solid waste baled material. Through the stabilizing effect of the grabbing positioning frame 61, the grabbing hooks 62 can firmly grab the baling rope, ensuring that the rope is stably pulled. Once the grabbing structure 6 has completed the grabbing, the scissor structure 5 is activated. The reverse blade design of the scissor rack 52 ensures precise and efficient cutting action. Driven by a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder 32, the scissor rack 52 moves relative to the shear structure 5, cutting the packing rope and disassembling the solid waste packing material. After the packing rope is cut, the clamps continue to close or open, releasing the solid waste packing material. The anti-slip structure 4 and the clamp design ensure that the material is stably clamped and ultimately released safely. Once the unpacking operation is complete, clamp 1 and clamp 2 return to their open / closed positions, ready for the next operation.
