Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garbage truck technology, specifically to a garbage bin clamping mechanism for garbage trucks. Background Technology

[0002] Garbage trucks play a vital role in urban waste disposal. Their main workflow involves moving garbage bins to the garbage truck, securing and lifting the bins using specific clamping and tipping mechanisms, and then emptying the garbage from the bins into the garbage truck.

[0003] Most existing clamping mechanisms only fix the trash can by clamping the side. When the surface of the trash can is smooth, this method is prone to insufficient friction. The trash can may detach from the clamping mechanism due to insufficient friction and fall into the garbage truck. This may not only damage the trash can and the garbage truck, but also affect the efficiency of garbage disposal and may even cause garbage to spill, resulting in secondary pollution. In addition, after the existing clamping mechanism clamps the trash can, it is not easy to adjust the overall direction of movement. If there is a dead angle in the movement position, it is difficult to collect the garbage in the trash can.

[0004] To address this issue, a garbage bin clamping mechanism for garbage trucks is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0026] A garbage bin clamping mechanism for a garbage truck includes a mounting base 1. One end surface of the mounting base 1 has several mounting holes 2, and fixing bolts 3 are installed inside the mounting holes 2. A fixing box 401 is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting base 1, and a rotating assembly 4 is provided on one side of the mounting base 1. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the rotating assembly 4 includes a cover plate 406 snapped onto the upper surface of the fixed box 401. A motor 402 is fixedly mounted on one end surface of the fixed box 401. The output end of the motor 402 is connected to a worm gear 403. A worm wheel 404 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the bottom surface of the fixed box 401. The worm wheel 404 meshes with the worm gear 403. A connecting shaft 405 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the worm wheel 404. A circular hole 407 is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the cover plate 406. The upper end of the connecting shaft 405 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the circular hole 407. A circular seat 410 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cover plate 406.

The upper surface of the arc-shaped support plate 409 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the circular seat 410. The arc-shaped support plate 409 is triangularly distributed on the inner wall of the annular groove 408.

[0027] More specifically, after the trash can has finished collecting the trash, it is put back in its original position. The external power supply for the trash can is the No. 1 motor 402. The output of the No. 1 motor 402 drives the worm gear 403 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel 404 to rotate. The worm wheel 404 drives the connecting shaft 405 and the circular seat 410 to rotate, which in turn drives the trash can to rotate and adjusts the placement of the trash can.

[0028] A lifting assembly 5 is provided on one side of the mounting base 1; for example Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the lifting assembly 5 includes a connecting cylinder 501 fixedly installed at the center of the upper surface of the circular base 410. One end of the connecting cylinder 501 is fixedly connected to a concave base 502. Upright columns 503 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper surface of the circular base 410. One end of each upright column 503 is fixedly connected to an inclined connecting column 504. The other end of the inclined connecting column 504 is fixedly connected to the upper part of one end of the concave base 502. A first mounting groove 505 is formed on both sides of the surface of one end of the concave base 502. A second circular hole 506 is passed through the top surface of the mounting slot 505. A second motor 507 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the concave seat 502. The output end of the second motor 507 is connected to a first threaded post 508 that is rotatably installed on the bottom surface of the first mounting slot 505. A first moving block 509 is engaged with the outer surface of the first threaded post 508. The upper end of the first threaded post 508 passes through the second circular hole 506 and is connected to the output end of the second motor 507. A horizontal column 510 is fixedly installed on one end surface of the first moving block 509.

[0029] More specifically, when adjusting the clamping height, an external power supply is connected to power the second motor 507. The output end of the second motor 507 drives the first threaded post 508 to rotate, causing the first moving block 509, which meshes with the outer surface of the first threaded post 508, to move. The first moving block 509 drives the horizontal column 510 to move and adjust the clamping height.

[0030] A stabilizing component 6 is provided on one side of the mounting base 1; such as Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the stabilizing component 6 includes a second mounting groove 601 opened on one end surface of the horizontal column 510. A third circular hole 602 penetrates one side of the inner wall of the second mounting groove 601. A third motor 603 is fixedly installed at one end of the horizontal column 510. The output end of the third motor 603 is connected to a second threaded post 604. A second moving block 605 is engaged on the outer surface of the second threaded post 604. A connecting rod 606 is fixedly connected to one end of the second moving block 605. A clamping plate 607 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 606. Several protrusions 608 are provided on one end surface of the clamping plate 607. A helical tooth post 609 is provided on one side of the upper surface of the clamping plate 607. The second threaded post 604 is provided with two reverse threads. The second moving blocks 605 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the outer surface of the second threaded post 604. The helical tooth posts 609 provided on one side of the upper surface of the clamping plates 607 on both sides are staggered.

[0031] More specifically, an external power supply is connected to power motor 603. The output of motor 603 drives the second threaded post 604 to rotate, thereby causing the second moving block 605 on the outer surface of the second threaded post 604 to move. The two moving blocks 605 on both sides move towards each other, driving the connecting rod 606 and the clamping plate 607 to move and clamp the trash can. During clamping, the protrusion 608 contacts the outer surface of the trash can, increasing the contact friction and improving the stability of clamping.

[0032] In summary, this garbage truck uses a garbage bin clamping mechanism. The mounting base 1 is fixedly installed on one side of the garbage truck using fixing bolts 3. During the garbage bin clamping operation, the second motor 507 is operated. The output end of the second motor 507 drives the first threaded post 508 to rotate, causing the first moving block 509, which meshes with the outer surface of the first threaded post 508, to move. The first moving block 509 then drives the horizontal column 510 to move, adjusting the clamping height of the garbage bin. The third motor 603 is operated, and its output end drives the second threaded post 508 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded column 604 causes the second moving blocks 605, located on both sides of the second threaded column 604, to move towards each other. The second moving blocks 605 drive the connecting rod 606 and the clamping plate 607 to move, stably clamping the trash can. After clamping, when adjusting the direction and position of the trash can, the first motor 402 is operated. The output end of the first motor 402 drives the worm gear 403 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel 404 to rotate through meshing. This, in turn, drives the connecting shaft 405 and the circular seat 410 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting cylinder 501 to rotate and adjusting the placement position of the trash can.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model.
