Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of waste treatment, and in particular to a novel horizontal container realizing a vertical compression and transfer station. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of waste transfer and disposal, traditional transfer station processes have many limitations.
[0003] Common waste container transfer methods mostly involve horizontal placement and transfer. This model is not very efficient in terms of space utilization, especially in scenarios requiring vertical compression to further reduce waste volume and improve transfer efficiency. Traditional horizontally placed containers cannot directly meet these needs. While some existing transfer stations have attempted to implement vertical compression, they lack a complete process and equipment combination that can effectively convert horizontally placed waste containers to a vertical position and coordinate them with transfer hooklift trucks and other equipment. Therefore, developing a new process and equipment for vertical compression transfer stations using horizontal containers has become an urgent need to improve waste transfer efficiency and optimize space utilization. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems with existing transfer stations, this paper aims to provide a novel horizontal container for realizing a vertical compression transfer station.
[0005] The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0006] A novel horizontal container-based vertical compression and transfer station includes a discharge parking space on one side of the top of a pit and a transfer parking space on one side of the bottom. The transfer parking space is used to park a transfer hooklift truck, which is used to horizontally place empty waste containers into the pit or transfer fully loaded waste containers outwards. The station includes a tilting and lifting device located within the pit, used to tilt and lift the horizontally placed empty waste containers of the transfer hooklift truck to an upright position. The tilting and lifting device includes:
[0007] frame;
[0008] A tilting frame, which is rotatably mounted on the frame via a pivot.
[0009] A tipping platform is connected to the bottom of the tipping frame and is used to support the horizontally placed empty garbage container of the transfer hooklift truck.
[0010] A first drive mechanism is connected between the tilting platform and the tilting frame, and is used to drive the tilting platform to rise and fall.
[0011] The second drive mechanism is connected to the tipping frame and is used to drive the tipping frame to rotate so that the tipping platform switches from a horizontal state to a vertical state, thereby making the empty garbage container stand up.
[0012] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the tilting frame includes two baffles, both of which are fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft and located on both sides of the tilting platform in the front-back direction.
[0013] Each of the guardrails is connected to the tilting platform by at least two telescopic rods, with the two telescopic rods located on both sides of the guardrail in the horizontal direction.
[0014] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the distance between the two grid frames is greater than the width of the waste container.
[0015] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the first drive mechanism includes two drive components. Each of the guard brackets is connected to the tilting platform via one of the drive components. Each drive component includes:
[0016] Two lifting cylinders are connected between the baffle and the tilting platform, and are located on both sides of the tilting platform in the horizontal direction.
[0017] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the second drive mechanism includes two tilting cylinders, one end of which is hinged to the two guard brackets and the other end of which is hinged to the frame.
[0018] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the rack includes:
[0019] Two support frames are distributed on both sides of the tilting platform along the front-back direction. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the two support frames, and the other ends of the two tilting cylinders are respectively hinged to the two support frames.
[0020] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, each of the support frames has a longitudinally sliding lifting part, and the support frame is also equipped with a driving component that is pulsatorically connected to the lifting part, for driving the lifting part to rise and fall.
[0021] The rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the two lifting parts.
[0022] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the driving component is a micro-motion hydraulic cylinder.
[0023] The positive effects of the above technical solution compared with the existing technology are:
[0024] (1) By setting up a flipping and lifting device, the horizontally placed garbage container is transformed into a vertical state, which provides a basis for subsequent vertical unloading and compression operations, and improves the space utilization efficiency and operational flexibility of the transfer station.
[0025] (2) The setting of the grid frame and telescopic rod in this utility model enhances the structural stability of the tilting platform, prevents the garbage container from slipping or being damaged due to uneven force or shaking during the tilting process, and improves the safety and reliability of the equipment.
[0026] (3) In this utility model, according to different specifications of garbage containers or actual operation needs, the driving component drives the lifting part to slide longitudinally on the support frame, and the rotating shaft rises and falls together with the lifting part, thereby adjusting the overall height of the tilting frame and the tilting platform to adapt to different working scenarios.

Figure 4 This utility model presents a structural schematic diagram of a novel horizontal container tilting and lifting device for realizing a vertical compression transfer station, which displays the waste container in a vertical state. Figure 5 This is a structural schematic diagram of a novel horizontal container-based tilting and lifting device for realizing a vertical compression transfer station according to the present invention. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a novel horizontal container-based tilting and lifting device for a vertical compression transfer station, as described in this utility model. Figure 1-6The illustration shows a novel horizontal container vertical compression and transfer station according to a preferred embodiment. It includes a pit 1 with an unloading position 12 on one side of the top and a transfer position 11 on one side of the bottom. The transfer position 11 is used to park a transfer hooklift truck 3, which is used to horizontally place empty garbage containers 5 into the pit 1 or transfer fully loaded garbage containers 5 outwards. The station includes a tilting and lifting device 2, located within the pit 1, used to tilt and lift the horizontally placed empty garbage containers 5 of the transfer hooklift truck 3. The tilting and lifting device 2 includes a frame 21, a tilting frame 22, and a tilting mechanism. The platform 26, the first drive mechanism 24, and the second drive mechanism 25 are connected to the bottom of the platform 21 via the rotating shaft 23. The first drive mechanism 24 is connected between the platform 26 and the platform 22 and is used to drive the platform 26 to rise and fall. The second drive mechanism 25 is connected to the platform 22 and is used to drive the platform 22 to rotate so that the platform 26 can switch from a horizontal state to a vertical state, thereby making the empty garbage container 5 stand up.
[0038] In this application, the transfer hooklift truck 3 transports the horizontally placed empty garbage container 5 to the transfer station 11 in the pit 1 and places the empty garbage container 5 on the tipping platform 26. The tipping and lifting device 2 starts to work. First, the first drive mechanism 24 drives the tipping platform 26 to rise and fall, adjusting it to a suitable height to stably support the garbage container 5. Then, the second drive mechanism 25 drives the tipping frame 22 to rotate, causing the tipping platform 26 to gradually switch from a horizontal state to a vertical state, thereby making the empty garbage container 5 stand upright. The garbage unloading truck 4 transports the garbage to the unloading station 12 and unloads the garbage into the garbage container 5 through the pit opening of the pit 1. Then, the compactor compacts the garbage container. After the garbage container 5 is full, the transfer hooklift truck 3 carries the full garbage container 5 away.
[0039] In this application, by setting up a tilting and lifting device 2, the horizontally placed garbage container 5 is transformed into a vertical state, which provides a basis for subsequent vertical unloading and compression operations, and improves the space utilization efficiency and operational flexibility of the transfer station.
[0040] It should be noted that the unloading of the garbage unloading truck 4, the compaction of the compactor, and the transport operation of the transfer hooklift truck 3 in this application are all mature technologies and equipment in the existing garbage station field. Their specific structures and principles will not be described again in this article.
[0041] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the tipping frame 22 includes two baffles 221, both of which are fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 23 and located on both sides of the tipping platform 26 in the front-to-back direction. At least two telescopic rods 222 connect each baffle 221 to the tipping platform 26, with the two telescopic rods 222 located on both sides of the baffle 221 in the horizontal direction. During the lifting and tipping of the tipping platform 26, the baffles 221 rotate with the rotating shaft 23, and the telescopic rods 222 extend and retract according to the movement of the tipping platform 26, thus stabilizing and supporting the tipping platform 26 and ensuring the stability of the waste container 5 during tipping.
[0042] Specifically, the installation of the baffle 221 and the telescopic rod 222 enhances the structural stability of the tilting platform 26, preventing the waste container 5 from slipping or being damaged due to uneven force or shaking during the tilting process, thus improving the safety and reliability of the equipment.
[0043] More specifically, the telescopic rod 222 includes a fixed cylinder and a telescopic column. The top of the fixed cylinder is connected to the baffle 221, and the bottom of the telescopic column is connected to the flipping platform 26. The top of the telescopic column is slidably disposed coaxially inside the bottom of the fixed cylinder. Of course, in another embodiment, the bottom of the fixed cylinder is connected to the flipping platform 26, the top of the telescopic column is connected to the baffle 221, and the bottom of the telescopic column is slidably disposed coaxially inside the top of the fixed cylinder.
[0044] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the distance between the two baffles 221 is greater than the width of the waste container 5. When the waste container 5 is placed on the tilting platform 26, because its width is less than the distance between the two baffles 221, the waste container 5 can be smoothly placed in the center of the tilting platform 26 without interfering with the baffles 221. The reasonable spacing design ensures the smooth movement of the waste container 5 during the tilting process, avoids equipment failure or damage to the waste container 5 due to insufficient space, and improves the smoothness of the entire transfer station process.
[0045] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the first drive mechanism 24 includes two drive components. Each baffle 221 is connected to the tilting platform 26 via a drive component. Each drive component includes two lifting cylinders 241 connected between the baffle 221 and the tilting platform 26, and located on both sides of the tilting platform 26 in the horizontal direction. The design of two drive components and two lifting cylinders 241 per group provides strong driving force and stable support, enabling precise control of the lifting height of the tilting platform 26, meeting the placement requirements of different sized waste containers 5, and improving the adaptability and operational accuracy of the equipment.
[0046] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the second drive mechanism 25 includes two tilting cylinders 251, one end of which is hinged to two baffles 221, and the other end is hinged to the frame 21. The two tilting cylinders 251 provide sufficient tilting torque to smoothly and reliably achieve the tilting action of the tilting platform 26, ensuring that the waste container 5 can accurately and quickly reach the vertical position, preparing for vertical compression operation.
[0047] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the frame 21 includes two support frames 211, which are distributed along the front-to-back direction on both sides of the tilting platform 26. A rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected between the two support frames 211, and the other ends of the two tilting cylinders 251 are respectively hinged to the two support frames 211. During the tilting process, the extension and retraction force of the tilting cylinders 251 is transmitted to the rotating shaft 23 through the hinge points with the support frames 211. The rotating shaft 23 rotates under the support of the support frames 211, driving the tilting frame 22 and the tilting platform 26 to tilt. The layout of the two support frames 211 and the connection method of the rotating shaft 23 give the tilting and lifting device 2 a stable structural foundation, enabling it to withstand the large torque generated during the tilting process, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the equipment during long-term operation.
[0048] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, each support frame 211 has a longitudinally sliding lifting part 212, and a drive component connected to the lifting part 212 is also installed on the support frame 211 to drive the lifting part 212 to rise and fall; wherein, a rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected between the two lifting parts 212. According to different sizes of waste containers 5 or actual operational needs, the drive component drives the lifting part 212 to slide longitudinally on the support frame 211, and the rotating shaft 23 rises and falls together with the lifting part 212, thereby adjusting the overall height of the tilting frame 22 and the tilting platform 26 to adapt to different working scenarios.
[0049] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the driving component is a micro-motion cylinder 213. Using a micro-motion cylinder 213 as the driving component offers advantages such as high control precision and smooth movement, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the tilting platform 26 during height adjustment, and improving the operational precision and quality of the entire transfer station process.
[0050] This application also includes the following embodiments:
[0051] The tilting platform 26 is also equipped with a locking structure (not shown in the figure) for locking the garbage container. The locking structure includes at least two locking hydraulic cylinders, which are located on both sides of the tilting platform 26. The garbage container has two locking holes on both sides. When the garbage container is placed horizontally on the tilting platform 26, the hydraulic rods of the two locking hydraulic cylinders extend outward and can be inserted into the two locking holes respectively to lock the garbage container. This allows the garbage container to switch between horizontal and vertical tilting states with the tilting platform 26.
[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the implementation method and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
