Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sanitation vehicle technology, and in particular to a garbage bin tipping drive mechanism for sanitation vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] In the urban operation system, sanitation work is a crucial link in maintaining the cleanliness of the city and ensuring the health of residents' living environment. Sanitation vehicles are the core carriers of this link. As the "main force" of the garbage collection and transportation system, sanitation vehicles shuttle through the city's streets and alleys, communities, parks and public places every day, undertaking the key task of collecting and transporting garbage. They not only need to efficiently collect household waste from different areas and different types of garbage bins, but also need to safely transfer the garbage to the treatment station. The whole process is directly related to the quality of urban environmental sanitation and the quality of life of residents. With the acceleration of urbanization, the amount of garbage generated continues to rise, which puts forward higher requirements for the operating efficiency, intelligence level and adaptability of sanitation vehicles. In particular, the performance of the garbage bin tipping mechanism directly affects the efficiency and effectiveness of garbage collection and transportation.

[0003] According to CN222409577U, a sanitation vehicle garbage bin tipping drive mechanism is disclosed, including: multiple sets of striking components, each set of striking components including a fixed frame, the fixed frames are symmetrically fixedly installed on the surface of the limiting plate on the same side, the upper and lower sides of the fixed frame are provided with sliding grooves, and movable frames are slidably installed in the sliding grooves on the same side, and multiple evenly distributed striking rods are fixedly installed on the side of the movable frame near the limiting plate.

[0004] In actual use, the above solution has several drawbacks. During sanitation operations, the garbage in the bins often contains liquids such as sewage. When the bins are dumped, these liquids easily adhere to the inner walls, which not only breed bacteria but also quickly produce a pungent odor. To eliminate the odor, sanitation workers have to rinse the inner walls of the bins with clean water after each dumping. This extra step is not only cumbersome but also significantly prolongs the operation time and reduces the overall efficiency of garbage dumping. Utility Model Content

[0026] 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. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown: A garbage bin tipping drive mechanism for a sanitation vehicle includes an L-shaped support plate 1. A tipping assembly 2 for tipping the L-shaped support plate 1 is disposed on the outside of the L-shaped support plate 1. The tipping assembly 2 includes a mounting frame 201 mounted on the sanitation vehicle. Two first electric telescopic rods 202 are mounted on the outer surface of the mounting frame 201. A movable plate 203 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of each of the two first electric telescopic rods 202. First hinge rods 204 are hinged to the inner walls of each of the two movable plates 203. Second hinge rods 205 are hinged to the other ends of each of the two first hinge rods 204. Hinge plates 206 are hinged to the other ends of each of the two second hinge rods 205. The two hinge plates 206 are connected to each other. A rotating rod 207 is fixedly connected to one of the adjacent sides, and the rotating rod 207 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the L-shaped support plate 1. When the first electric telescopic rod 202 is activated, it pushes the moving plate 203 downward. When the moving plate 203 moves downward, it will drive the first hinge rod 204 to move in the same direction. By utilizing the hinge between the first hinge rod 204 and the second hinge rod 205 and the hinge between the second hinge rod 205 and the hinge plate 206, the first hinge rod 204 can drive the hinge plate 206 to rotate when it moves, thereby driving the L-shaped support plate 1 to rotate. This achieves the effect of flipping the trash can body 4, making it convenient to empty the trash can body 4.

[0028] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3As shown: Two guide frames 208 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting frame 201. Guide posts 209 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two guide frames 208. One end of the two guide posts 209 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the two first hinge rods 204 respectively. Two connecting blocks 210 are slidably connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 207, and the outer surfaces of the two connecting blocks 210 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting frame 201. The guide frames 208 can guide the first hinge rods 204, so that the first hinge rods 204 can move along the track of the guide frames 208, which facilitates the subsequent rotation of the hinge plate 206. The connecting blocks 210 can strengthen the connection between the mounting frame 201 and the L-shaped support plate 1, so that the L-shaped support plate 1 can be rotated stably and prevent shaking due to excessive gravity during rotation.

[0029] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 6 As shown: A trash can body 4 is placed on top of an L-shaped support plate 1. A flushing assembly 3 for cleaning the inner wall of the trash can body 4 is provided above the L-shaped support plate 1. The flushing assembly 3 includes a motor 301 installed on the outer surface of the L-shaped support plate 1. The flushing assembly 3 also includes a rinsing structure for cleaning the inner wall of the trash can body 4. The rinsing structure includes a water tank 309 installed on the inner wall of the L-shaped support plate 1. A water pump 310 is installed on the upper surface of the water tank 309. The output end of the water pump 310 is fixedly connected to a hose 311. The other end of the hose 311 is fixedly connected to a water distribution chamber 312. A set of nozzles 313 are installed on the outer surface of the water distribution chamber 312. The rinsing structure also includes a second nozzle embedded in the L-shaped support plate 1. The electric telescopic rod 314 has its telescopic end fixedly connected to the outer surface of the water distribution chamber 312. When the garbage in the garbage can body 4 is in a flipped state after being emptied and needs to be flushed, the second electric telescopic rod 314 is first activated to push the water distribution chamber 312 forward a short distance. The moved water distribution chamber 312 does not hinder the rotation of the garbage can body 4 and makes the nozzle 313 inside the garbage can body 4. Then, the water pump 310 is activated to draw water from the water tank 309 and enter the interior of the water distribution chamber 312 through the hose 311. Finally, the nozzle 313 sprays water out to flush the inner wall of the garbage can body 4. This is convenient and quick, reduces the working time of sanitation workers, and improves the overall garbage dumping efficiency.

[0030] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 5As shown: A rotating structure for rotating the garbage can body 4 includes a threaded rod 302 rotatably connected to the inner wall of an L-shaped support plate 1. The output end of a motor 301 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 302. A square toothed plate 303 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 302. A circular toothed plate 304 meshes with the outer surface of the square toothed plate 303. The outer surface of the circular toothed plate 304 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the L-shaped support plate 1. While flushing the inner wall of the garbage can body 4, the motor 301 is started to drive the threaded rod 302 to rotate. When the threaded rod 302 rotates, the square toothed plate 303 moves on the outer surface of the threaded rod 302. By utilizing the meshing between the square toothed plate 303 and the circular toothed plate 304, the garbage can body 4 can be rotated, thereby fully flushing the inner wall of the garbage can body 4 and avoiding the need for manual flushing if the flushing is incomplete.

[0031] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 5 As shown: Two upright plates 305 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the circular toothed plate 304. The inner walls of the two upright plates 305 are slidably connected to moving rods 306. The sides of the two moving rods 306 that are close to each other are fixedly connected to L-shaped limiting plates 307. The outer surface of the L-shaped limiting plate 307 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the trash can body 4. The outer surfaces of the two moving rods 306 are fitted with springs 308. The two ends of each spring 308 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the upright plate 305 and the outer surface of the L-shaped limiting plate 307, respectively. The outer surface of the trash can body 4 is provided with a slot that matches the L-shaped limiting plate 307. The L-shaped limiting plate 307 can limit the trash can body 4 to prevent the trash can body 4 from falling and affecting the dumping result when the trash inside the trash can body 4 is tilted and dumped.

[0032] Working principle: After the garbage in the garbage can body 4 has been emptied and is in a tilted state requiring flushing, the second electric telescopic rod 314 is first activated to push the water distribution chamber 312 forward a short distance. The moved water distribution chamber 312 does not obstruct the rotation of the garbage can body 4 and places the nozzle 313 inside the garbage can body 4. Then, the water pump 310 is activated to draw water from the water tank 309 and enter the water distribution chamber 312 through the hose 311. Finally, the nozzle 313 sprays water to flush the inner wall of the garbage can body 4. At the same time, the motor 301 is activated to drive the threaded rod 302 to rotate. When the threaded rod 302 rotates, the square toothed plate 303 moves on the outer surface of the threaded rod 302. By utilizing the meshing between the square toothed plate 303 and the round toothed plate 304, the garbage can body 4 can be rotated, thereby fully flushing the inner wall of the garbage can body 4. This is convenient and quick, reduces the working time of sanitation workers, and improves the overall garbage dumping efficiency.
