[0034] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0035] Please refer to the reference. Figure 1 and Figure 3 This utility model provides a garbage compressor (not shown) for compressing and transferring garbage. It can disrupt the force balance of the compressed garbage during unloading to facilitate unloading, prevent jamming, improve unloading efficiency, and save time and labor costs.
[0036] It should be noted that the garbage compactor includes a compression device (not shown) and a discharge device 100. The compression device is used to compress the garbage into the discharge device 100, and the discharge device 100 is used to store the garbage to facilitate its transfer. The discharge device 100 is also used to unload the garbage when it is transferred to its destination.
[0037] The unloading device 100 includes a container 110, a movable top plate 120, and a tailgate 130. The movable top plate 120 is movably mounted on the top of the container 110 and can move relative to the container 110. The container 110 can limit the movement of the movable top plate 120. One end of the container 110 is provided with a feed inlet 111 for loading waste into the container 110 and for unloading waste from the container 110. The tailgate 130 is detachably connected to the container 110 to close the feed inlet 111. The tailgate 130 can seal the feed inlet 111 to prevent waste from accidentally falling out of the feed inlet 111. The movable top plate 120 abuts against the tailgate 130. The container 110 is used to hold compressed waste. When the tailgate 130 opens the feed port 111, the movable top plate 120 can extend out of the feed port 111 under the expansion force of the compressed waste to disrupt the force balance of the compressed waste during unloading, facilitate unloading, prevent jamming, improve unloading efficiency, and save time and labor costs.
[0038] Furthermore, the unloading device 100 also includes a hinge assembly 140. A crossbeam 112 is provided on the top of the box 110. The movable top plate 120 is hinged to the crossbeam 112 through the hinge assembly 140. The movable top plate 120 can move relative to the crossbeam 112 through the hinge assembly 140. The crossbeam 112 can limit the movable top plate 120 through the hinge assembly 140.
[0039] Specifically, the movable top plate 120 has two positions: a loading position and a unloading position. When the tailgate 130 closes the feed inlet 111, the tailgate 130 abuts against the movable top plate 120, which is completely inside the container 110. At this time, the movable top plate 120 is in the loading position, and its height is at its lowest. The movable top plate 120 exerts a downward pressure on the compressed waste inside the container 110. Correspondingly, the compressed waste inside the container 110 exerts an upward expansion force on the movable top plate 120, and the pressure and expansion force are balanced. When the tailgate 130 opens the feed inlet 111, the tailgate 130 no longer limits the movable top plate 120. At this time, the movable top plate 120 cannot maintain a stable pressure on the compressed waste. Under the action of its own expansion force, the compressed waste drives the movable top plate 120 to move relative to the crossbeam 112 and extend out of the feed inlet 111. At this time, the crossbeam 112 can limit the movable top plate 120 so that it is in the unloading position, and its height is at its highest. In this way, since the movable top plate 120 will move from the loading position to the unloading position during the opening of the tailgate 130, and there is a height difference between the movable top plate 120 at the loading position and the movable top plate 120 at the unloading position, the height of the internal space of the container 110 will increase during the opening of the tailgate 130, so as to disrupt the force balance of the compressed waste and facilitate unloading.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 4 The hinge assembly 140 includes a first mounting base 141, a connecting rod 142, and a second mounting base 143. The first mounting base 141 is connected to the movable top plate 120, and the second mounting base 143 is connected to the crossbeam 112. One end of the connecting rod 142 is hinged to the first mounting base 141, and the other end is hinged to the second mounting base 143. The connecting rod 142 can rotate relative to both the first mounting base 141 and the second mounting base 143 to ensure the reliability of the movement of the movable top plate 120 relative to the crossbeam 112.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 5The first mounting base 141 includes a base body 1411, a pin 1412, a washer 1413, a cotter pin 1415, and two limiting blocks 1414. The two limiting blocks 1414 are arranged opposite to each other and are both connected to the base body 1411. The base body 1411 is connected to the movable top plate 120 to fix the relative position of the base body 1411 and the movable top plate 120 and prevent the base body 1411 from detaching from the movable top plate 120. Specifically, the pin 1412 passes through a limiting block 1414, a connecting rod 142, and another limiting block 1414 in sequence. The cotter pin 1415 is inserted at the free end of the pin 1412. The washer 1413 is disposed between the limiting block 1414 and the cotter pin 1415. The pin 1412 can limit the connecting rod 142 to ensure the stability of the rotation of the connecting rod 142. The cotter pin 1415 is used to limit the pin 1412, and the washer 1413 is used to achieve the anti-loosening function.
[0042] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the second mounting base 143 is the same as that of the first mounting base 141, and will not be described again here.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 6 Furthermore, there are multiple crossbeams 112, which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. There are also multiple hinge components 140, which are divided into multiple groups. Each group of hinge components 140 is installed on one crossbeam 112. Each crossbeam 112 is hinged to the movable top plate 120 through multiple hinge components 140 in one group. The multiple hinge components 140 work together to ensure the reliability of the movement of the movable top plate 120 relative to the crossbeams 112. Specifically, the extension direction of the crossbeams 112 is the width direction of the box body 110, and the multiple crossbeams 112 are spaced apart along the length direction of the box body 110.
[0044] Preferably, the unloading device 100 further includes an elastic element 150. One end of the movable top plate 120 is connected to the container 110 via the elastic element 150, and the other end abuts against the tailgate 130. The elastic element 150 is always in a compressed state and can apply elastic force to the movable top plate 120, so that the movable top plate 120 has a tendency to move towards the feed inlet 111, assisting the movable top plate 120 to move to the unloading position when the tailgate 130 is opened. In this way, when the expansion force of the compressed waste is insufficient, the elastic element 150 can drive the movable top plate 120 to move to the unloading position, avoiding material jamming and ensuring the unloading effect.
[0045] It should be noted that during the process of unloading the garbage in the unloading device 100, the garbage is first loaded into the container 110 and the garbage in the container 110 is compressed by the compression device; then the tail door 130 is closed to seal the garbage in the container 110. During this process, the tail door 130 overcomes the expansion force of the compressed garbage and the elastic force of the elastic element 150 to push the movable top plate 120 into the feed port 111 so that the movable top plate 120 is completely placed in the container 110 until the movable top plate 120 moves to the loading position. During the process of unloading garbage by the unloading device 100, the tail gate 130 is opened, and the tail gate 130 no longer limits the movable top plate 120. Under the expansion force of the compressed garbage and the elastic force of the elastic element 150, the movable top plate 120 extends out of the feed port 111. During this process, the movable top plate 120 moves from the loading position to the unloading position, and the height of the movable top plate 120 increases, so as to increase the height of the internal space of the container 110, thereby disrupting the force balance of the compressed garbage and ensuring that the garbage in the container 110 will not get stuck during the dumping process, thus improving the unloading efficiency.
[0046] The housing 110 includes a first side wall 113, a second side wall 114, an end wall 115, and a bottom wall 116. The first side wall 113, the end wall 115, and the second side wall 114 are arranged sequentially and are all connected to the bottom wall 116. The first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114 are arranged opposite each other on the left and right sides of the bottom wall 116. The tailgate 130 and the end wall 115 are arranged opposite each other at the beginning and end ends of the bottom wall 116. An elastic member 150 is connected between the end wall 115 and the movable top plate 120. The elastic member 150 can apply a spring force to the movable top plate 120 to move away from the end wall 115.
[0047] Furthermore, there are multiple elastic elements 150, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the housing 110. The multiple elastic elements 150 work together to ensure the uniformity of the elastic force applied to the movable top plate 120 and improve the stability of the movement of the movable top plate 120.
[0048] In this embodiment, the elastic element 150 is a spring, but it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the elastic element 150 may also be elastic rubber, and the material of the elastic element 150 is not specifically limited.
[0049] Please refer to Figure 7 Preferably, the unloading device 100 further includes a locking mechanism 160. One end of the tailgate 130 is hinged to the first side wall 113, and the other end is connected to the second side wall 114 through the locking mechanism 160 to realize the locking function of the tailgate 130, prevent the tailgate 130 from being accidentally opened during the transfer process of the unloading device 100, and improve safety and reliability.
[0050] The locking mechanism 160 includes a fixing post 161, a locking hook 162, and a driving member 163. The fixing post 161 is connected to the tailgate 130, and the locking hook 162 is hinged to the second side wall 114. The locking hook 162 can rotate relative to the second side wall 114, and the second side wall 114 can limit the locking hook 162. Specifically, the driving member 163 is installed on the second side wall 114 and connected to the locking hook 162. The driving member 163 is used to drive the locking hook 162 to rotate relative to the second side wall 114 and cooperate with the fixing post 161 to fix the relative position of the locking hook 162 and the fixing post 161, thereby fixing the relative position of the tailgate 130 and the housing 110 and realizing the locking function.
[0051] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 160 further includes a transmission rod 164. There are multiple fixed posts 161 and multiple locking hooks 162, with the multiple locking hooks 162 spaced apart and all hinged to the transmission rod 164. A driving member 163 is connected to the transmission rod 164. Each locking hook 162 is used to engage with one fixed post 161. The driving member 163 can synchronously drive the multiple locking hooks 162 to rotate relative to the second sidewall 114 via the transmission rod 164, so that the multiple locking hooks 162 engage with the multiple fixed posts 161 in a one-to-one correspondence. The multiple locking hooks 162 and the multiple fixed posts 161 work together to further improve the reliability of locking the tailgate 130.
[0052] In this embodiment, the driving component 163 is a hydraulic cylinder, but it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the driving component 163 can be a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder. The type of the driving component 163 is not specifically limited.
[0053] The unloading device 100 provided in this embodiment of the utility model has a movable top plate 120 movably installed on the top of the housing 110. One end of the housing 110 is provided with a material inlet 111. A tailgate 130 is detachably connected to the housing 110 to close the material inlet 111. One end of the movable top plate 120 is connected to the housing 110 through an elastic member 150, and the other end abuts against the tailgate 130. The movable top plate 120 can extend out of the material inlet 111 under the elastic force of the elastic member 150 when the tailgate 130 opens the material inlet 111. Compared with the prior art, the unloading device 100 provided by this utility model, due to the tailgate 130 installed at the material inlet 111 and the movable top plate 120 connected to the elastic member 150, can disrupt the force balance of the compressed waste during unloading to facilitate unloading, prevent jamming, improve unloading efficiency, and save time and labor costs. This makes the garbage compressor unloading efficient and easy to use.
[0054] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
