Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of garbage bin tipping equipment, specifically a tipping mechanism for automated garbage tipping. Background Technology

[0002] As people become increasingly environmentally conscious, the recycling and disposal of waste are receiving more and more attention. During the recycling process, waste needs to be emptied from bins onto garbage trucks and then transported to designated locations for processing.

[0003] Traditional methods of emptying garbage bins largely rely on manual operation, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, inefficient, and physically demanding for workers. While existing garbage emptying devices have been developed, most employ a single-drive structure, unable to simultaneously lift and tip the garbage bin, resulting in low efficiency and insufficient operational continuity. Furthermore, most existing garbage emptying devices use a sliding rail structure, lacking a reliable self-locking mechanism, leading to poor stability and a tendency to slip back, thus failing to meet the demands for efficient and safe garbage disposal. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a waste dumping mechanism driven by a dual-module collaborative mechanism, which realizes fully automated operation of waste loading, lifting and dumping through time-sharing control of the lifting module and the dumping module.

The input shaft of the gearbox is connected to the output shaft of the first motor, and the output shaft of the gearbox is connected to the rotating shaft. The trash can clamping part is located at the end of the rotating shaft.

[0010] As an improvement, the lifting slide is provided with a sliding sleeve, which is fitted onto the vertical slide rail.

[0011] As an improvement, the lifting drive component includes a second motor, a screw, and a threaded sleeve. The second motor is located at the bottom of the base. One end of the screw is connected to the output end of the second motor, and the other end is rotatably connected to the top plate through a bearing.

[0012] The threaded sleeve has a threaded hole at its center and is fitted onto the screw rod. The outer side of the threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the lifting slide.

[0013] As an improvement, the reduction gearbox is equipped with a reduction gear pair.

[0014] As an improvement, the lifting slide is provided with a support frame, and the support frame is provided with a second bearing that cooperates with the rotating shaft. The bottom of the support frame is fixedly connected to the lifting slide.

[0015] As an improvement, the trash can clamping part is a ring-shaped fixing ring.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] This embodiment discloses a tilting mechanism for automated waste dumping, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a frame 1, a lifting assembly 2, and a tilting assembly 3.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the frame 1 includes a base 11 and a top plate 12, which are connected by a vertical slide rail 13.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the lifting assembly 2 includes a lifting slide 21 and a lifting drive component 22. The lifting slide 21 slides up and down along the vertical slide rail 13. A sliding sleeve 211 is provided on the lifting slide 21 and is fitted onto the vertical slide rail 13. The lifting drive component 22 includes a second motor 221, a screw 222, and a threaded sleeve 223. The second motor 221 is located at the bottom of the base 11. One end of the screw 222 is connected to the output end of the second motor 221, and the other end is rotatably connected to the top plate 12 via a bearing 224. The threaded sleeve 223 has a threaded hole in its center and is fitted onto the screw 222. The outer side of the threaded sleeve 223 is fixedly connected to the lifting slide 21.

[0034] The second motor 221 can drive the screw 222 to rotate. Since the threaded sleeve 223 has a threaded hole at its center that mates with the screw 222, when the screw 222 rotates forward or backward, it can drive the lifting slide 21 to move up and down via the threaded sleeve 223. Simultaneously, the screw 222 and the threaded sleeve 223 are screwed together, providing a self-locking effect. When the second motor 221 stops rotating, the lifting slide 21 can maintain its position and will not slide downward due to gravity.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the flipping assembly 3 includes a first motor 31, a reduction gearbox 32, a rotating shaft 33, and a garbage bin clamping part 34. The first motor 31 and the reduction gearbox 32 are both mounted on the lifting slide 21. The input shaft of the reduction gearbox 32 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 31, and the output shaft of the reduction gearbox 32 is connected to the rotating shaft 33. The garbage bin clamping part 34 is located at the end of the rotating shaft 33.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the reduction gearbox 32 contains a reduction gear pair 321. In practical applications, the transmission ratio of the reduction gear pair 321 can be adjusted as needed, thereby adjusting the reduction ratio of the reduction gearbox 32. Furthermore, the reduction gearbox 32 can achieve the effect of reducing speed and increasing torque, enabling the trash can to tip over smoothly.

[0037] The lifting slide 21 is provided with a support frame 212, and the support frame 212 is provided with a second bearing 213 that cooperates with the rotating shaft 33. The bottom of the support frame 212 is fixedly connected to the lifting slide 21.

[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, the trash can clamping part 34 is a ring-shaped fixing ring that can be fitted onto the outside of the trash can 4 to fix the trash can.

[0039] Both the first motor 31 and the second motor 221 are stepper motors, and the control system can control the direction of rotation, the number of rotations, and the rotation angle of the first motor 31 and the second motor 221. This allows for precise control of the lifting height of the lifting platform 21 and the tilting angle of the garbage bin clamping part 34.

[0040] The workflow of this solution is described below:

[0041] 1. Lifting Movement: The second motor 221 drives the screw 222 to rotate, and the threaded sleeve 223 moves axially along the screw 222. Simultaneously, the threaded sleeve 223 drives the lifting slide 21 to rise along the vertical slide rail 13 until the garbage bin clamping part 34 reaches the preset tipping height. The self-locking characteristics of the screw 222 and the threaded sleeve 223 ensure that the lifting slide 21 remains stable after the motor stops.

[0042] 2. Tilting and Discarding: The first motor 31 drives the rotating shaft 33 to rotate via the reduction gearbox 32. The rotating shaft 33 causes the garbage bin clamping part 34 to tilt, tilting the garbage bin to a specified angle to complete the garbage disposal. The support frame 212 is located in the middle of the rotating shaft 33, which can support the rotating shaft 33, thereby improving stability and ensuring a smooth tilting process.

[0043] 3. Reset Cycle: The first motor 31 reverses direction, and the trash can clamping part 34 resets to a horizontal state. The second motor 221 reverses direction, and the lifting slide 21 descends to its initial low position, waiting for the next cycle.

[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
