Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of tipping devices, specifically relating to a trash can tipping device. Background Technology

[0002] In order to maintain the city's appearance, trash cans are usually placed at designated locations on the streets to collect household waste, and the trash cans are regularly disposed of by sanitation trucks to restore their capacity.

[0003] Currently, commonly used garbage trucks are usually equipped with garbage bin clamping devices, tipping devices, and lifting devices. The garbage bin is clamped by the clamping device, then lifted by the lifting device, and finally tipped over by the tipping device when the garbage bin reaches the highest point, so that the garbage inside can be dumped into the garbage truck.

[0004] However, the clamping and tipping devices of existing garbage trucks are relatively fixed in distance from the vehicle body and can only move up and down along the lifting device. As a result, after the vehicle stops near the garbage bin, the clamping device is often a certain horizontal distance from the garbage bin. The position of the garbage bin needs to be adjusted manually so that the garbage bin can be clamped by the clamping device. The manual dragging process reduces the processing efficiency of the garbage bin and the labor intensity of the personnel is relatively high. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a garbage bin tipping device to solve the problem mentioned above that the recycling devices equipped on existing garbage trucks require manual adjustment of the garbage bins during use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a trash can tipping device, comprising...

[0007] The lifting guide rail has an internal slider.

[0008] The mounting plate has a horizontal edge and a vertical edge, with one side of the horizontal edge fixed to the slider;

[0009] The telescopic mechanism is installed on the side wall of the longitudinal side, and the movable end of the telescopic mechanism is equipped with a rotating component;

[0010] The connecting frame is connected to the rotating component at one end, and a clamping mechanism is installed at the other end of the connecting frame.

[0011] The principle and effects of this technical solution:

[0012] 1. By installing the clamping mechanism on the connecting frame, and having the telescopic mechanism move the connecting frame away from or closer to the vehicle body, the vehicle can be parked next to the trash can. The telescopic mechanism can then move the clamping mechanism closer to the trash can, eliminating the need for manual handling and adjustment of the trash can's position relative to the clamping mechanism, thus saving manpower.

[0013] 2. By raising and lowering the mounting plate via the lifting guide rail and rotating the connecting frame via the rotating component, the overall height and angle of the clamping mechanism can be controlled, allowing the clamped garbage bin to smoothly dump garbage into the garbage truck compartment.

[0014] 3. By setting the mounting plate with horizontal and vertical edges, the horizontal edge can be parallel to the length direction of the vehicle, and the vertical edge can be parallel to the width direction of the vehicle. The vertical edge can be set at the gap between the truck head and the truck body or at the parking space. Therefore, the telescopic mechanism has little impact on the overall space occupied by the vehicle, that is, the device has little impact on the original space occupied by the garbage truck.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: the telescopic mechanism includes a telescopic guide rail, a telescopic plate is installed at the movable end of the telescopic guide rail, and a rotating component is installed on the telescopic plate.

[0016] The principle and effect of this technical solution: The telescopic plate is moved by the movable end of the telescopic guide rail, which in turn drives the rotating component and the connecting frame to move synchronously. By setting the telescopic plate, it can be arranged over a larger area, thereby allowing the rotating component to be installed in a staggered manner relative to the telescopic guide rail, thus saving space.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that: the rotating assembly includes a rotating motor, a first limiting block, and a second limiting block; the rotating motor is fixed to one side of the telescopic plate; the connecting frame is located on the other side of the telescopic plate and is connected to the rotating motor in a transmission manner; both the first limiting block and the second limiting block are fixed to the telescopic plate; and the connecting frame moves between the first limiting block and the second limiting block.

[0018] The principle and effect of this technical solution: By setting up a rotating motor, the movement of the rotating motor can drive the connecting frame to rotate, and by setting up the first limit block and the second limit block, the rotation angle of the connecting frame can be limited to avoid excessive rotation.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that the top of the lifting guide rail has an arc-shaped section.

[0020] The principle and effect of this technical solution: By setting the arc segment to assist in the flipping, the required rotation angle of the rotating component is reduced, so that the clamping mechanism can drive the trash can to flip at a larger angle, and the required rotation angle of the rotating component is smaller.

[0021] The present invention is further configured such that: the clamping mechanism includes a mounting shell, a clamping plate, a gear transmission assembly, and a drive assembly. The gear transmission assembly is installed inside the mounting shell, and one end of the clamping plate is rotatably installed inside the mounting shell and is connected to the gear transmission assembly. Two sets of clamping plates and gear transmission assemblies are provided together and are symmetrically arranged about the drive assembly. The gear transmission assembly is used to drive the clamping plate to rotate, and the drive assembly is installed inside the mounting shell and is used to drive the gear transmission assembly to move.

[0022] The principle and effect of this technical solution: The drive component drives the gear transmission group to move, which in turn drives the clamping plate to rotate. By rotating, the clamping plates on both sides can rotate to clamp the trash can. Since the rotation is around the axis, the amount of motion is greater. As a result, the clamping plate can rotate to be parallel to the vehicle, thereby greatly reducing interference with the external environment during vehicle movement.

[0023] The present invention is further configured such that: the gear transmission assembly includes a first gear, a second gear and a rack, the first gear and the second gear are rotatably mounted in the mounting housing, the first gear is coaxially arranged with the clamping plate, the second gear meshes with the first gear, the rack is slidably mounted in the mounting housing, the second gear meshes with the rack, and the drive assembly is used to drive the rack to slide.

[0024] The principle and effect of this technical solution: The movement of the rack drives the second gear to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear to rotate, thereby causing the first gear to synchronously drive the end of the clamping plate to rotate so that the clamping plates on both sides can rotate synchronously to clamp the garbage can.

[0025] The present invention is further configured such that: the drive assembly includes a drive motor, a drive screw, and a drive block, all installed in the mounting housing; the drive motor is connected to the drive screw in a transmission manner; the drive block is threadedly fitted onto the drive screw; and the drive block slides against the inner wall of the mounting housing; and the rack is fixed to the side wall of the drive block.

[0026] The principle and effect of this technical solution: The drive screw is driven to rotate by the drive motor, which in turn drives the drive block to move horizontally. The horizontal movement of the drive block drives the rack to move horizontally, which in turn drives the clamping plate to rotate indirectly. The rotation direction of the drive screw and the movement direction of the rack are not in the same plane, thus achieving a self-locking effect, that is, the drive motor has the effect of maintaining its position when it stops working.

The vertical edge 212 can be set at the gap between the front of the truck and the compartment or at the rear of the compartment.

[0041] The telescopic mechanism includes a telescopic guide rail 410, with a telescopic plate 420 mounted on the movable end of the guide rail 410. A rotating assembly is mounted on the telescopic plate 420 and includes a rotating motor 510, a first limiting block 520, and a second limiting block 530. The rotating motor 510 is fixed to one side of the telescopic plate 420, and a connecting frame 310 is located on the other side of the telescopic plate 420 and is connected to the rotating motor 510. Both the first limiting block 520 and the second limiting block 530 are fixed to the telescopic plate 420, and the connecting frame 310 moves between the first limiting block 520 and the second limiting block 530. The first limiting block 520, the second limiting block 530, and the connecting frame 310 are all mounted on the same side of the telescopic plate 420, and their specific arrangement is shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown, the shape is "L" shaped, with one end of the connecting frame 310 parallel to the length direction of the carriage and the other end of the connecting frame 310 parallel to the width direction of the vehicle. The end of the connecting frame 310 parallel to the width direction of the carriage is connected to the rotating motor 510 for transmission. The clamping mechanism is installed on the outer wall of the connecting frame 310 parallel to the length direction of the carriage.

[0042] The clamping mechanism includes a mounting housing 610, a clamping plate 620, a gear transmission assembly, and a drive assembly. The gear transmission assembly is installed inside the mounting housing 610. One end of the clamping plate 620 is rotatably installed inside the mounting housing 610 and is connected to the gear transmission assembly. Two sets of clamping plates 620 and gear transmission assemblies are provided together and are symmetrically arranged about the drive assembly. The gear transmission assembly includes a first gear 630, a second gear 640, and a rack 650. The first gear 630 and the second gear 640 are both rotatably installed inside the mounting housing 610. The first gear 630 is coaxially arranged with the clamping plate 620. The second gear 640 meshes with the first gear 630. The rack 650 is slidably installed inside the mounting housing 610 and meshes with the rack 650. The drive assembly is used to drive the rack 650 to slide. The drive assembly includes a drive motor 660, a drive screw 670, and a drive block 680, all installed inside the mounting housing 610. The drive motor 660 is connected to the drive screw 670 in a transmission manner. The drive block 680 is threaded onto the drive screw 670 and slides against the inner wall of the mounting housing 610. The rack 650 is fixed to the side wall of the drive block 680.

[0043] In this scheme, the rotary motor 510 and the telescopic plate 420 are connected by a rotating shaft installed on the movable end of the rotary motor 510. The rotating shaft passes through the telescopic plate 420 and is fixed to the connecting frame 310. Thus, the rotation of the rotating shaft can synchronously drive the connecting frame 310 to rotate. The drive motor 660 and the drive screw 670 are connected by the movable end of the motor to the drive screw 670 (specifically, it can be connected by a coupling or other means). The rotation of the movable end of the drive motor 660 drives the drive screw 670 to rotate synchronously.

[0044] The garbage truck is equipped with a control panel in the driver's cab. The control panel is electrically connected to various electronic components. The driver or co-driver can control the electronic components of each mechanism through the control panel. The vehicle's battery can power the electronic components. Since the garbage bins used by the municipality are of a relatively uniform model, the rotation amount of the drive motor 660 driving the clamping plate 620 is preset in advance, which can avoid the clamping mechanism from over-clamping and damaging the garbage bin.
