Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food waste collection vehicles, and in particular to a collection vehicle that can separate oil and water from food waste. Background Technology
[0002] The food waste collection vehicle, specifically designed for oil-water separation, is a specialized vehicle used to collect and process food waste. It primarily separates grease and water from the waste, achieving efficient and environmentally friendly waste management. Equipped with an oil-water separator, it uses physical or chemical methods to separate grease from water in food waste. The separated grease can be recycled for uses such as biodiesel, while the water is treated to meet discharge standards or reused. It is widely used in restaurants, canteens, food processing plants, and other similar establishments, helping to reduce environmental pollution, promote resource recycling, and align with the concept of green and environmentally friendly development.
[0003] However, food waste collection trucks have the following drawbacks: To separate waste from oil and water, a filter mechanism is installed on top of the truck. After waste is poured into the filter, the oil and water are separated, and then the oil and water are allowed to settle and separate further. However, during use, as more and more waste accumulates inside the filter, the filtration speed of oil and water in subsequent waste pours in becomes slower, thus affecting the filtration and separation of subsequent waste and oil. Therefore, further improvements are needed. To this end, we have proposed a collection truck that can separate oil and water from food waste. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a waste collection vehicle that can separate oil and water from food waste.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a waste collection vehicle capable of separating oil and water from food waste, comprising a frame, a partition fixed in the middle of the inner bottom wall of the frame, the partition dividing the interior of the frame into a collection chamber and a separation chamber, the bottom of the collection chamber being open and equipped with a collection component inside the collection chamber, the top of the separation chamber being open and equipped with a filter component at the top of the separation chamber, a shaft fixed to the inner wall of the top of the separation chamber, the bottom of the filter component near the collection chamber rotating around the shaft, a notch provided on the top of the frame away from the fixed end of the shaft, and a side door rotatably connected to the bottom of the notch via a hinge, an anti-sway component provided at the bottom of the interior of the separation chamber, a drain pipe fixed to the bottom of the side wall of the separation chamber, and a first push handle fixed to the outer wall of the frame.
[0006] Furthermore, the collection assembly includes a tray located inside the receiving chamber, a trash can placed on the upper surface of the tray, and a second push handle fixed to the side of the upper surface of the tray.
[0007] Furthermore, multiple casters are fixed to the lower surface of the pallet and the lower surface of the frame.
[0008] Furthermore, the filtration assembly includes a hopper, a filter screen is fixed at the bottom of the hopper, the side wall of the hopper near the receiving chamber is inclined, and a ring is fixed on the lower surface of the hopper. The ring is slidably sleeved on the surface of the shaft and rotatably connected to the shaft. A support plate is fixed on the inner side wall of the separation chamber away from the shaft, and the lower surface of the hopper is in contact with the upper surface of the support plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the top of the side door is fixedly connected to the vehicle frame by bolts.
[0010] Furthermore, the anti-sway assembly includes multiple perforated plates, and a crossbar is fixedly connected to the top of the multiple perforated plates. Both ends of the crossbar are fixed with end plates, and the two end plates are in contact with the inner sidewall of the separation chamber.
[0011] Furthermore, a valve is fixedly installed in the middle of the drain pipe.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. In use, this utility model is equipped with a frame, a receiving chamber, a separation chamber, a filter assembly, a shaft, a side door, a drain pipe, and a collection assembly. Food waste is poured into the hopper of the filter assembly. The oil and water in the waste pass through the filter screen at the bottom of the hopper and enter the separation chamber. The oil and water settle and separate into layers in the separation chamber. Each time waste is poured back into the hopper, one end of the hopper is lifted up, causing the bottom of the hopper to rotate around the shaft. This allows the previously poured and filtered waste to slide into the collection assembly, preventing the filter assembly from accumulating too much waste and affecting filtration.
[0014] 2. When this utility model is in use, an anti-sway component is set up inside the separation chamber. When there is a large amount of oil and water inside the separation chamber, the oil and water will shake violently inside the separation chamber when the frame is moved. By setting up the anti-sway component, the internal space of the separation chamber is separated, thereby reducing shaking and inertia. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a waste collection vehicle capable of separating oil and water from food waste is disclosed. The vehicle includes a frame 1, with a partition 2 fixed to the middle of the inner bottom wall of the frame 1, dividing the interior of the frame 1 into a collection chamber 3 and a separation chamber 4. The bottom of the collection chamber 3 is open, and a collection component 12 is installed inside the collection chamber 3. The top of the separation chamber 4 is open, and a filter component 5 is installed at the top of the separation chamber 4. A shaft 6 is fixed to the inner wall of the top of the separation chamber 4. The bottom of the filter component 5, near the collection chamber 3, rotates around the shaft 6. A notch is provided on the top of the frame 1, away from the fixed end of the shaft 6, and a side door 8 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the notch via a hinge. An anti-sway component 9 is installed at the bottom of the interior of the separation chamber 4. A drain pipe 10 is fixed to the bottom of the side wall of the separation chamber 4. A first push handle 11 is fixed to the outer wall of the frame 1.
[0024] The collection assembly 12 includes a tray 121 located inside the receiving chamber 3, a trash can 122 placed on the upper surface of the tray 121, and a second push handle 123 fixed to the side of the upper surface of the tray 121.
[0025] Multiple casters 13 are fixed to the lower surface of the pallet 121 and the lower surface of the frame 1.
[0026] In this embodiment, the entire collection assembly 12 can be pulled out from inside the receiving chamber 3, making it easy to remove the trash can 122 on the surface of the tray 121, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the trash can 122.
[0027] The filter assembly 5 includes a hopper 51, a filter screen 52 fixed at the bottom of the hopper 51, the side wall of the hopper 51 near the receiving chamber 3 is inclined, and a ring 53 is fixed on the lower surface of the hopper 51. The ring 53 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the shaft 6 and rotatably connected to the shaft 6. A support plate 7 is fixed on the inner side wall of the separation chamber 4 away from the shaft 6, and the lower surface of the hopper 51 is in contact with the upper surface of the support plate 7.
[0028] In this embodiment, a handle is fixed on the top of the hopper 51 and on the side above the support plate 7. When garbage is poured into the hopper 51, oil and water in the garbage will pass through the bottom filter screen 52 and enter the separation chamber 4, while the garbage remains inside the hopper 51. When emptying the garbage next time, the handle is held to lift the hopper 51 upward, so that the bottom of the hopper 51 rotates around the shaft 6, and the garbage in the hopper 51 will slide down the inclined side wall of the hopper 51 into the garbage bin 122, thereby avoiding the accumulation of a lot of garbage inside the hopper 51, which would affect the filtration efficiency of subsequent garbage.
[0029] The top of the side door 8 is fixedly connected to the frame 1 by bolts.
[0030] By fixing the side door 8 in this way, the top of the side door 8 can be detached from the frame 1. After the fixed connection between the top of the side door 8 and the frame 1 is released, the side door 8 can be rotated outward to open. At this time, the filter assembly 5 can be slid out from the top of the separation chamber 4 along the surface of the support plate 7 and the surface of the shaft 6, so that the entire filter assembly 5 can be easily disassembled and cleaned.
[0031] The anti-sway assembly 9 includes multiple perforated plates 91, and a crossbar 92 is fixedly connected to the top of the multiple perforated plates 91. Both ends of the crossbar 92 are fixed with end plates 93, and the two end plates 93 are in contact with the inner wall of the separation chamber 4.
[0032] When there is a lot of oil and water inside the separation chamber 4 and the frame 1 needs to be moved, the multiple perforated plates 91 separate the interior of the separation chamber 4, reducing the sloshing amplitude of the oil and water in the separation chamber 4. Secondly, the anti-sloshing component 9 can be removed from inside the separation chamber 4, making it easy to clean the separation chamber 4 and the anti-sloshing component 9.
[0033] A valve is fixedly installed in the middle of the drain pipe 10. When the oil and water settle and separate into layers at the bottom of the separation chamber 4, the valve is opened, and the water at the bottom is discharged first from the drain pipe 10. After the water is discharged, the oil is discharged.
[0034] Working principle: During normal use, the garbage is poured directly into the hopper 51. Oil and water in the garbage will pass through the bottom filter screen 52 and enter the separation chamber 4, while the garbage remains inside the hopper 51. When emptying the garbage next time, hold the handle and lift the hopper 51 upwards, causing the bottom of the hopper 51 to rotate around the shaft 6. The garbage in the hopper 51 will slide down the inclined side wall of the hopper 51 into the garbage bin 122, thus avoiding the accumulation of a large amount of garbage inside the hopper 51, which would affect the filtration efficiency of subsequent garbage.

These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
