Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen waste compression technology, specifically to an easy-to-operate kitchen waste compression device. Background Technology

[0002] Food waste refers to the waste generated in daily life, food processing, catering services, and catering services provided by institutions. Its main sources are family kitchens, restaurants, hotels, canteens, markets, and other industries related to food processing. Compressing food waste can effectively reduce the space occupied by garbage and improve the space utilization rate of garbage cans and garbage trucks.

[0003] Patent CN220429378U describes an easy-to-operate manual food waste compressor. This compressor compresses food waste by pressing down on the lower lever, causing rollers to slide within a rolling groove. This movement moves the compression rod downwards, which in turn moves the pressure plate below the compression rod downwards, thus compressing the food waste. After compression, the external force is released, and a spring located on the outer side of the compression rod, between the second adapter and the top plate, moves the compression rod upwards to automatically reset. The downward pressing action is more effortless and eliminates the need for a reset operation, making it beneficial for practical applications.

[0004] This patent improves the ease of operation to some extent, but since it requires manual operation, it still consumes manpower and is not labor-saving enough. Moreover, when compressing garbage in the garbage can, it cannot achieve solid-liquid separation. Since kitchen waste contains liquids such as soup, the compressed food waste soaks and floats in the liquid, making it inconvenient to separate and not conducive to the separate treatment of solid and liquid waste. It is inconvenient to use and still needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an easy-to-operate kitchen waste compression device. The compression operation is more labor-saving, and solid-liquid separation can be achieved during compression, which is beneficial for bagging and collection and is more convenient to use.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an easy-to-operate kitchen waste compression device, comprising a top plate and a base distributed vertically, the top plate and the base being fixedly connected by multiple vertical support rods, a shelf being provided between the top plate and the base, the shelf being slidably connected to the multiple support rods, a driver being fixedly provided on the base to drive the shelf to slide up and down, a vertical telescopic cylinder being fixedly provided on the top plate, the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder facing downward and fixedly connected to a pressure plate, and a garbage can being placed on the shelf.

[0007] In this system, the trash can is placed on the shelf, and a telescopic cylinder drives a pressure plate to extend into the trash can and compress the food waste. The shelf slides up and down via a driver, allowing for easy adjustment of the distance between the shelf and the top plate. This facilitates the placement of trash cans of different heights and further adjusts the compression depth of the pressure plate, making it more convenient to use.

[0008] As an optimization, the actuator is an electric push rod, which is fixed to the top surface of the base, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod is fixed to the bottom surface of the shelf. This optimized solution drives the sliding of the shelf by the telescopic movement of the electric push rod, making it more labor-saving to use.

[0009] As an optimization, the top plate is equipped with a drive control button and a telescopic cylinder control button. This optimized solution allows for convenient control of the electric push rod and telescopic cylinder via the drive control button and telescopic cylinder control button, respectively.

[0010] As an optimization, a placement slot is provided on the top surface of the shelf. This optimization improves the stability of the trash can after it is placed by using the placement slot.

[0011] As an optimization, the trash can includes a compression cylinder and a liquid collection cylinder. The liquid collection cylinder is detachably fixed to the bottom of the compression cylinder, and multiple drainage holes are provided on the bottom of the compression cylinder. This optimized trash can adopts a split structure. The compression cylinder compresses the kitchen waste, and the liquid in the waste seeps into the liquid collection cylinder through the drainage holes, achieving solid-liquid separation.

[0012] As an optimization, the compression cylinder and the liquid collection cylinder are fixed together by a snap fastener connection. This optimized solution uses a snap fastener connection for easy assembly and disassembly.

[0013] As an optimization, a support platform is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the liquid collection cylinder, with the upper end of the support platform contacting the bottom of the compression cylinder. This optimized solution uses the support platform to support the bottom of the compression cylinder, preventing deformation during compression.

[0014] As an optimization, a limiting ring is provided at the bottom of the compression cylinder, and an annular limiting groove is provided at the top of the liquid collection cylinder to cooperate with the limiting ring. In this optimized solution, when the compression cylinder and the liquid collection cylinder are connected, the limiting ring is inserted into the annular limiting groove to align the two, preventing displacement and improving their stability.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This compression device uses a telescopic cylinder to extend a pressure plate into the garbage bin to compress kitchen waste. An electric push rod drives the shelf to slide up and down, facilitating adjustment of the distance between the shelf and the top plate, thus allowing for the placement of garbage bins of different heights and further adjustment of the compression depth. The compression process is automatic, thanks to the telescopic cylinder, resulting in a higher degree of automation, simpler operation, and greater convenience and labor-saving use.

[0016] The trash can features a split design. The upper compression cylinder compresses kitchen waste, while the liquid in the waste seeps through the drain holes into the lower liquid collection cylinder, achieving solid-liquid separation. This makes it easier to pack the waste and separate the liquid, making it more convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the following detailed implementation method will be used to explain the solution.

[0019] Example 1: like Figures 1-3 As shown, an easy-to-operate food waste compression device includes a top plate 1 and a base 2 distributed vertically, with the top plate 1 and base 2 fixedly connected by multiple vertical support rods 10. The number of support rods 10 is preferably 2 to 4, and the multiple support rods 10 are evenly distributed between the top plate 1 and the base 2.

[0020] A shelf 3 is provided between the top plate 1 and the base 2. The shelf 3 is slidably connected to multiple support rods 10. A driver is fixed on the base 2 to drive the shelf 3 to slide up and down. In this embodiment, the top plate 1, shelf 3, and base 2 are coaxially arranged, and the support rods 10 pass through the shelf 3, allowing the shelf 3 to slide along the axial direction of the support rods 10. The driver is an electric push rod 4, which is fixed to the center of the top surface of the base 2. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 4 is fixed to the center of the bottom surface of the shelf 3. The sliding of the shelf 3 is driven by the telescopic movement of the electric push rod 4, thereby adjusting the distance between the shelf 3 and the top plate 1. The electric drive method is labor-saving.

[0021] A vertical telescopic cylinder 6 is fixedly installed on the top plate 1. The telescopic end of the cylinder 6 faces downward and is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 7. In this embodiment, the telescopic cylinder 6 is an electric cylinder. The cylinder 6 is fixedly installed at the center of the top surface of the top plate 1, and the telescopic end of the cylinder 6 penetrates downward through the top plate 1 and is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 7. The extension and retraction of the cylinder 6 drives the pressure plate 7 to move up and down to compress the kitchen waste. The electric drive method makes it more labor-saving to use.

[0022] A trash can 5 is placed on the shelf 3, and a placement groove 11 is formed on the top surface of the shelf 3. In this embodiment, the placement groove 11 is formed at the center of the top surface of the shelf 3, and the trash can 5 is placed in the placement groove, which improves the stability of the trash can 5 after it is placed.

[0023] In use, the trash can 5 is placed on the shelf 3, and the shelf 3 is driven to slide up and down by the driver to adjust the distance between the shelf 3 and the top plate 1. This makes it convenient to place trash cans 5 of different heights and to further adjust the compression depth of the pressure plate 7. The compression process is automatically compressed by the telescopic cylinder, which has a higher degree of automation and is more convenient to use.

[0024] The top plate 1 is equipped with a drive control button 8 and a telescopic cylinder control button 9. The drive control button 8 and the telescopic cylinder control button 9 control the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 4 and the telescopic cylinder 6 respectively, simplifying operation. Both the electric push rod 4 and the telescopic cylinder 6 are readily available for purchase. It should be noted that replacing the electric push rod and telescopic cylinder with a hydraulic cylinder can achieve the same function, which is obvious and readily apparent to those skilled in the art.

[0025] Specifically, the trash can 5 includes a compression cylinder 51 and a liquid collection cylinder 52. The liquid collection cylinder 52 is detachably fixed to the bottom of the compression cylinder 51, and the compression cylinder 51 and the liquid collection cylinder 52 are coaxially arranged. The bottom of the compression cylinder 51 is provided with a plurality of drainage holes 54, which are evenly distributed in a ring on the bottom of the compression cylinder 51.

[0026] By compressing kitchen waste inside the compression cylinder 51, the liquid in the waste seeps into the liquid collection cylinder 52 through the drain hole 54 during compression, achieving solid-liquid separation. The garbage can 5 adopts a split design, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and allows personnel to handle solids and liquids separately.

[0027] The bottom of the compression cylinder 51 is provided with a limiting ring 55, and the top of the liquid collection cylinder 52 is provided with an annular limiting groove 56 that mates with the limiting ring 55. In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the limiting ring 55 is larger than the inner diameter of the liquid collection cylinder 52, but smaller than the outer diameter of the liquid collection cylinder 52. The annular limiting groove 56 is formed at the top of the inner wall of the liquid collection cylinder 52, and the outer diameter of the annular limiting groove 56 is adapted to the outer diameter of the limiting ring 55. When the compression cylinder 51 and the liquid collection cylinder 52 are fixedly connected vertically, the limiting ring 55 is inserted into the annular limiting groove 56, thereby aligning the compression cylinder 51 and the liquid collection cylinder 52 coaxially, facilitating their docking. Furthermore, limiting their movement prevents displacement after fixation, improving their stability.

[0028] Preferably, the compression cylinder 51 and the liquid collection cylinder 52 are connected and fixed by latches 53, and multiple latches 53 are evenly distributed along the circumference. The compression cylinder 51 and the liquid collection cylinder 52 are detachably fixed by the latches 53, making disassembly and assembly convenient. The latches 53 can be directly purchased.

[0029] To prevent deformation of the bottom of the compression cylinder 51 when the pressure plate 7 compresses the kitchen waste downwards, a support platform 57 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the liquid collection cylinder 52 in this embodiment. The support platform 57 has a frustum-shaped structure, and its upper end contacts the bottom of the compression cylinder 51. The support platform 57 supports the center of the bottom of the compression cylinder 51, preventing deformation of the bottom of the compression cylinder 51 during compression and making it more durable.

[0030] Instructions for use: Pour kitchen waste into the compression cylinder 51 of the garbage bin 5. Press the drive control button 8 to extend and retract the electric push rod 4, causing the placement plate 3 to slide up and down to adjust its position so that the garbage bin 5 can be placed on the placement slot 11 of the placement plate 3. After the garbage bin 5 is placed stably, press the telescopic cylinder control button 9 to extend the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 6 downwards, causing the pressure plate 7 to extend into the compression cylinder 51 to compress the kitchen waste. During compression, the liquid in the waste is squeezed out and seeps through the drain hole 54 into the liquid collection cylinder 52, achieving solid-liquid separation.

[0031] After compression, the telescopic cylinder 6 drives the pressure plate 7 to return to its original position. Personnel remove the trash can 5 and separate the compression cylinder 51 and the liquid collection cylinder 52. Solid waste in the compression cylinder 51 is packaged and collected, while liquid in the liquid collection cylinder 52 can be poured into the sewer or treated in other ways, making it convenient to use.

[0032] Of course, the above description is not limited to the examples above. Technical features of this utility model not described can be implemented by or using existing technology, and will not be repeated here.
