Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of robotic arm technology, and in particular relates to an automatic robotic arm for fixing garbage trucks. Background Technology

[0002] Garbage collection trucks are specialized vehicles used for transporting garbage in municipal sanitation and large factories and mines. They are classified into six main categories based on function: compression type, self-unloading type, swing arm type, self-loading and unloading type, sealed type, and hook arm type. They primarily utilize hydraulic systems and sealing structures to achieve garbage compression and leak prevention. Suitable for transporting household waste and other similar items, they offer significant advantages such as reliable quality, low failure rate, convenient maintenance, and low operating costs. During garbage truck operations, securing and disassembling the garbage container is crucial for ensuring operational safety and improving transfer efficiency. Traditional garbage container securing methods are cumbersome and labor-intensive, often relying on manual insertion and removal of pins, tightening of bolts, or operation of hydraulic rods. These operations are time-consuming, and the complex operating environment of garbage trucks makes manual operation susceptible to dirt and odors, resulting in high labor intensity. Furthermore, traditional garbage container securing methods have poor adaptability, as different garbage truck models have different container sizes and securing points, leading to low versatility. As the garbage collection and transportation industry develops towards automation and efficiency, traditional securing methods can no longer meet the requirements for safe, convenient, and universal operation. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automated robotic arm for garbage truck securing to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic robotic arm for fixing garbage trucks, in order to solve the problems of cumbersome and laborious operation of traditional garbage truck garbage bin fixing methods.

[0004] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objectives through the following technical solution: It includes a vehicle frame, with a garbage bin mounted on top of the frame. T-shaped cylinders are located on both sides of one end of the garbage bin. Two robotic arms are symmetrically mounted on one end of the frame. Each robotic arm includes a base plate, with a housing surrounding the base plate. An electric cylinder is located at one end inside the housing. A connecting rod is located on the side of the electric cylinder, and a first rack is located on the side of the connecting rod. A first slider is located on the side of the first rack away from the garbage bin, and a first slide rail is movably connected to the side of the first slider. A first gear is movably connected to the side of the first rack near the garbage bin, meshing with each other. A second gear is located above the first gear. A movable shaft is located between the first gear and the second gear. A second rack is located on the side of the second gear away from the electric cylinder. A protective shell is located on the side of the second rack near the garbage bin. A second slider is located on the side of the second rack, and a second slide rail is movably connected to the side of the second slider. An L-shaped connecting plate is located below the second slider. A U-shaped plate is located above the connecting rod. A fixing plate is located on the side of the base plate away from the electric cylinder, and a fixing device is located above the fixing plate.

[0005] Furthermore, the fixing device includes a movable plate with a movable groove running through its upper surface. A connecting block is movably connected inside the movable groove. A spring is provided on the side of the connecting block near the trash can. A first arc-shaped plate is provided on both sides of one end of the spring. A second arc-shaped plate is provided on the side of the first arc-shaped plate. A connecting support frame is provided at the end of the first arc-shaped plate away from the spring. A fixing hook is provided above the support frame, and a rotating shaft is provided below the support frame.

[0006] Furthermore, the movable plate is fixed above the outer shell, and the connecting block is fixedly connected to the upper part of the L-shaped connecting plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the second arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the bottom of the support frame is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0008] Furthermore, the electric cylinder is connected to the base plate, the first slide rail is fixed between the fixed plate and the U-shaped plate, and the second slide rail is fixedly connected to the outer shell.

[0009] Furthermore, the movable shaft is movably connected to the base plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the protective shell is fixedly connected to the outer shell, and the second rack is movably connected inside the protective shell.

[0011] Furthermore, the U-shaped plate and the base plate are interconnected.

[0012] Beneficial effects: This utility model is reasonably designed and has the following beneficial effects: 1. The robotic arm adopts an automatic control structure driven by an electric cylinder and coupled with gear and rack transmission. The opening and closing of the fixed hook can be achieved by a button on the garbage truck. The extension and retraction of the electric cylinder drives the first rack to move, which drives the second rack through the first and second gear transmissions. Finally, the fixed hook hooks onto or detaches from the T-shaped cylinder of the garbage bin. No manual operation is required throughout the process, and the fixing or disassembly of the garbage bin can be completed quickly. 2. The device adopts a dual-arm symmetrical fixing and locking structure with a fixing hook: the two robotic arms correspond to the T-shaped cylinders on both sides of the garbage bin. After the fixing hooks accurately hook into the T-shaped cylinders, two symmetrical limiting points are formed. At the same time, springs assist the first arc plate and the second arc plate to fit tightly into the fixing components, buffering the bumps during transportation and preventing the fixing hooks from loosening. Even when the garbage bin is tilted and dumping garbage, the fixing hooks can still firmly lock into the T-shaped cylinders, with no risk of displacement or falling off. Attached Figure Description

A fixing device 6 is provided above the fixing plate 8. The electric cylinder, slider, slide rail and spring in this utility model are existing technologies and will not be described in detail. The robotic arm is controlled by a button on the garbage truck.

[0017] The fixing device 6 includes a movable plate 61, with a movable groove 62 extending through its upper surface. A connecting block 63 is movably connected inside the movable groove 62. A spring 64 is provided on the side of the connecting block 63 near the garbage bin 2. A first arc-shaped plate 66 is provided on both sides of one end of the spring 64. A second arc-shaped plate 65 is provided on the side of the first arc-shaped plate 66. A connecting support frame 67 is provided at the end of the first arc-shaped plate 66 away from the spring 64. A fixing hook 68 is provided above the support frame 67, and a rotating shaft 69 is provided below the support frame 67.

[0018] The movable plate 61 is fixed above the outer casing 42, the connecting block 63 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the L-shaped connecting plate 55, the spring 64 is movably connected to the upper part of the movable plate 61, and the movable connection between the rotating shaft 59 and the movable plate 61 is the prior art.

[0019] The bottom of the second arc plate 65 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 69, and the bottom of the support frame 67 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 69. The rotating shaft 69 is movably connected to one end of the movable plate 61. The first arc plate 66, the second arc plate 65 and the spring 64 are connected to each other through the shaft, which facilitates rotation. The spring 64 is a high-strength spring, which can withstand high loads and high frequency cyclic stresses and still maintain stable elasticity and long service life.

[0020] The electric cylinder 43 is connected to the base plate 41. The first slide rail 46 is fixed between the fixed plate 8 and the U-shaped plate 7. The second slide rail 54 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 42.

[0021] The movable shaft 50 is movably connected to the base plate 41, and the connection method is the existing technology. The movable shaft 50 is fixedly connected to the first gear 48 and the second gear 49.

[0022] The protective shell 52 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 42, and the second rack 51 is movably connected inside the protective shell 52.

[0023] The U-shaped plate 7 and the base plate 41 are connected to each other, and the connecting rod 44 is movably connected inside the hole formed by the U-shaped plate 7 and the base plate 41.

[0024] Working principle: In use, this utility model drives the electric cylinder 43 to move backward, which in turn moves the connecting rod 44 backward, thereby causing the first rack 45 to move towards the U-shaped plate 7. The first rack 45, through the cooperation of the first slider 47 and the first slide rail 46, passes through the hole in the U-shaped plate, thereby causing the first gear 48 on the side of the first rack 45 to rotate. The first gear 48 drives the second gear 49 to rotate through the movable ring 50. The second gear 49 causes the second rack 51 on the side to move away from the garbage bin 2. The L-shaped connecting plate 55 below the second slider 53 on the side of the second rack 49 also moves away from the garbage bin in the opposite direction, thereby causing the connecting block 63 to move in the same direction. The connecting block 63 carries a spring. When spring 64 moves backward, the second arc-shaped plate 65 at one end of spring 64 moves backward, thereby driving the first arc-shaped plate 65 and the rotating shaft 69 to move backward. This, in turn, drives the fixing hook 68 to move backward through the support frame 67, thus disengaging it from the T-shaped cylinder. This allows the garbage bin to detach from its fixed position. When the electric cylinder operates in the reverse direction, the fixing hook 68 can be re-fixed onto the T-shaped cylinder 3, thus fixing the garbage bin 2 inside the fixing groove of the frame 1. This prevents the garbage bin from moving back and forth. When the garbage bin is tilted at 45 degrees to dump garbage, the fixing hook 68 can hook onto the T-shaped cylinder 3, thus fixing the garbage bin inside the frame 1 when dumping garbage. This allows the garbage bin to be fixed and disassembled simply by operating the robotic arm, making the operation simple and convenient.
