Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen waste, and in particular to a kitchen waste receiving hopper bridge breaking device. Background Technology

[0002] Food waste (also known as organic waste or perishable waste) refers to food scraps, discarded ingredients, and other easily biodegradable waste generated in daily life. Proper handling of food waste is crucial for environmental protection, resource recycling, and carbon emission reduction. When designing or selecting a food waste receiving hopper, factors such as functionality, hygiene, environmental protection, and usage scenarios must be comprehensively considered.

[0003] When the existing kitchen waste receiving hopper is in use, kitchen waste accumulates inside the hopper, forming a "bridging" phenomenon (where the material is suspended and does not fall). This affects the efficiency of material falling and increases the workload of the staff, making it inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a bridge-breaking device for kitchen waste receiving hoppers.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A kitchen waste receiving hopper bridging device includes a hopper, with bridging rollers rotatably connected to the inner wall of the hopper via bearings. One end of each of the two bridging rollers is fixedly connected to a rotating roller, and a belt is sleeved on the outer wall of the two rotating rollers. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating roller located at the front. The outer wall of the servo motor is fixedly connected to a base that is fixedly connected to the upper side of one side of the outer wall of the hopper. The output end of the servo motor is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the base via a bearing.

[0007] Preferably, the outer walls of both rollers are machined with grooves, and the inner wall of the belt is fixedly connected with teeth that mate with the grooves of the rollers.

[0008] Preferably, an inclined plate is fixedly connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the hopper, and a bottom plate is provided below the inclined plate and fixedly connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the hopper. The inner wall of the inclined plate is machined with a plurality of drainage holes.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom plate is inclined, and a water guide plate is fixedly connected to one side of the hopper.

[0010] Preferably, a water tank is fixedly connected above the side of the hopper away from the servo motor, a pump body is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the water tank, the output end of the pump body is connected to a first conduit, and the outer wall of the first conduit extends through the upper side of one side of the hopper, the end of the first conduit is connected to a second conduit, and the inner wall of the second conduit is connected to a spray pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the ends of the plurality of nozzles are all connected to high-pressure nozzles.

[0012] Preferably, a water supply pipe is connected to the upper side of one side of the water tank, and a transparent observation plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water tank.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. By coordinating the hopper, bridge-breaking roller, rotating roller, belt and servo motor, the material with "bridging" phenomenon can be broken during feeding, so that the material can fall smoothly, so as to ensure the falling efficiency of the material. Moreover, no manual operation is required, which can greatly reduce the labor intensity of the workers, improve the overall work efficiency, and facilitate the use of the workers.

[0015] 2. Through the combination of inclined plates, bottom plates, hoppers and water guide plates, large pieces of garbage such as garbage bags and bones, as well as sewage, can be separated from the garbage inside, so as to ensure the subsequent garbage processing operation and bring convenience to the staff.

[0016] 3. Through the coordination of the hopper, water tank, pump body, first guide pipe, second guide pipe and spray pipe, the bridge breaking roller can be washed to prevent garbage from getting tangled on the surface of the bridge breaking roller and affecting the bridge breaking quality, and also to facilitate the subsequent maintenance work of the staff.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Example 1, referring to Figures 1 to 5 A bridging device for a kitchen waste hopper includes a hopper 1. Bridging rollers 2 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the hopper 1 via bearings. Rotating rollers 3 are fixedly connected to one end of each of the two bridging rollers 2. A belt 4 is sleeved on the outer wall of each of the two rotating rollers 3. A servo motor 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the front rotating roller 3. A base 5 is fixedly connected to the upper side of one side of the outer wall of the hopper 1. The output end of the servo motor 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the base 5 via bearings. The model of the servo motor 6 is not limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements. The servo motor 6 can drive the front rotating roller 3 to rotate, so that the belt 4 can drive the rear rotating roller 3 to rotate, thereby driving the two bridging rollers 2 to rotate. It should be noted that the two rotating rollers 3 are not of the same size. Similarly, when the front roller 3 rotates one full turn, the rear roller 3 rotates half a turn or one and a half turns to avoid the two bridge-breaking rollers 2 rotating synchronously. The specific ratio is not limited and can be selected according to actual operational needs, subject to meeting the technical characteristics of this case. It should be noted that this case should be used in conjunction with external waste treatment equipment. During installation, the opening on the lower side of the hopper 1 needs to be connected to the external waste treatment equipment so that waste can be directly discharged into the interior of the waste treatment equipment. A sewage treatment and collection device should also be installed, and the water guide plate 9 is directly connected to the sewage treatment and collection device. The above installation methods are not limited and can be selected according to actual usage, subject to meeting the technical characteristics of this case.

[0025] In this embodiment, the outer walls of both rollers 3 are machined with grooves. The inner wall of the belt 4 is fixedly connected with teeth that mate with the grooves of the rollers 3. An inclined plate 8 is fixedly connected to the lower inner wall of the hopper 1. A bottom plate 7 is fixedly connected to the lower inner wall of the hopper 1 below the inclined plate 8. Multiple drainage holes are machined on the inner wall of the inclined plate 8. The bottom plate 7 is inclined. A water guide plate 9 is fixedly connected to the lower side of one side of the hopper 1. A water tank 10 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the hopper 1 away from the servo motor 6. A pump body 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the water tank 10. The output end of the pump body 12 is connected to a first conduit 16. The upper outer wall of the first conduit 16 penetrates the upper side of one side of the hopper 1. The end of the first conduit 16 is connected to a second conduit 14. The inner wall of the second conduit 14 is connected to a spray pipe 15. The ends of multiple spray pipes 15 are all connected to high-pressure nozzles. A water supply pipe 13 is connected to the upper side of the water tank 10. A transparent observation plate 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water tank 10. The groove on the outer wall of the roller 3 and the teeth on the inner wall of the belt 4 are matched to ensure transmission efficiency. The inclined plate 8 can separate the sewage inside the garbage. The model of the pump body 12 is not limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements. The pump body 12 can draw out the cleaning water inside the water tank 10, and then transport it through the first conduit 16, and then enter the interior of the second conduit 14. Finally, it is sprayed out through the spray pipe 15, and then sprayed onto the surface of the bridge breaking roller 2 after being pressurized by the nozzle for cleaning. It should be noted that the spray pipe 15 should be set at a certain angle so that the cleaning water sprayed by the spray pipe 15 can be sprayed all over the surface of the bridge breaking roller 2. The specific tilt angle is not limited and can be selected according to the actual use.

[0026] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, the worker pours the garbage into the hopper 1, then turns on the servo motor 6, which drives the front roller 3 to rotate. The front roller 3 then drives the belt 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the rear roller 3 to rotate. This drives the two bridge-breaking rollers 2 to rotate, thereby breaking up the garbage and preventing it from "bridging". At the same time, the garbage falls to the top of the inclined plate 8, and then the sewage enters the top of the bottom plate 7 through the drainage hole of the inclined plate 8, and then is discharged through the guide plate 9. Larger garbage can be discharged into the hopper 1 through the inclined plate 8. When cleaning is required, the pump body 12 is turned on, and the pump body 12 draws water from the water tank 10, which is then transported to the inside of the spray pipe 15 through the first conduit 16 and the second conduit 14. Finally, the water is sprayed out after being pressurized by the nozzle, thereby cleaning the surface of the bridge-breaking rollers 2.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
