[0043] This utility model provides an automatic waste transfer device that can automatically transfer, compress, and recycle waste, improving waste processing efficiency, saving manpower and resources, and reducing costs. It reduces the use of plastic bags for packaging, making it more environmentally friendly and facilitating the management of the workshop environment. This automatic waste transfer device can be applied to laser die-cutting and slitting machines for the automatic transfer, compression, and recycling of waste generated after die-cutting electrode tabs in electrode production, improving production efficiency. Of course, this automatic waste transfer device can also be applied to production lines in other fields to achieve material transfer, compression, and recycling.
[0044] Please combine Figure 1 The automatic waste transfer device includes a waste buffer device 1, a transport trolley 2, a first conveying assembly, a compression assembly 6, and a second conveying assembly 9. The waste buffer device 1 is equipped with a waste box 11 for holding waste. The transport trolley 2 moves a full waste box 11 to the first conveying assembly, which then transfers the full waste box 11 to the compression assembly 6. The compression assembly 6 compresses the waste in the waste box 11, and the second conveying assembly 9 transfers the compressed waste to a waste collection station 10 for recycling and reuse.
[0045] Please combine Figure 2 The waste buffer device 1 includes a first lifting unit 14 and a first support 12, which are connected. The waste box 11 is mounted on the first support 12. The first lifting unit 14 can move the waste box 11 up or down, i.e., move the waste box 11 in the vertical direction. Optionally, the first support 12 is provided with a first tray 13, which is used to support the waste box 11. The first lifting unit 14 can be a lead screw drive, a linear motor, or a cylinder, etc.
[0046] Please combine Figure 3 Optionally, the transport trolley 2 is equipped with a lifting panel 22. Of the lifting panel 22 and the waste container 11, one has a positioning pin 23, and the other has a positioning hole. The lifting panel 22 is used to support the waste container 11. In this embodiment, the first tray 13 has a positioning hole, and the lifting panel 22 has a positioning pin 23 corresponding to the positioning hole. When the transport trolley 2 and the waste container 11 are docked, the positioning pin 23 is inserted into the positioning hole, completing automatic alignment.
[0047] Please combine Figure 4 and Figure 5The first conveying assembly includes a low-level conveyor line 3 and a high-level conveyor line 4. A transport trolley 2 moves the waste box 11 to the low-level conveyor line 3. The low-level conveyor line 3 is equipped with a second lifting unit 31 and a platform 32 connected to each other. The platform 32 receives the waste box 11, and the second lifting unit 31 moves the platform 32 to a position flush with the high-level conveyor line 4. The second lifting unit 31 drives the platform 32 to move vertically, thus raising or lowering the platform 32. The second lifting unit 31 can be a ball screw drive, a linear motor, or a cylinder. In this embodiment, the second lifting unit 31 and a first driving component 34 are connected by a drive mechanism. The first driving component 34 includes, but is not limited to, a motor or a ball screw. The second lifting unit 31 uses a ball screw.
[0048] Optionally, the platform 32 is provided with a first moving member 33 for receiving the waste box 11. The first moving member 33 drives the waste box 11 to move in a direction perpendicular to the lifting direction of the second lifting unit 31. The first moving member 33 includes multiple rollers arranged side by side. The use of roller conveying results in low resistance, smooth movement, and high movement efficiency.
[0049] Optionally, the platform 32 is U-shaped, and the transport trolley 2 moves into the U-shaped opening. When the platform 32 is in its lower position, the lifting panel 22 is approximately flush with the surface of the platform 32, so that the two ends of the first pallet 13 carrying the waste box 11 overlap the platform 32. When the second lifting unit 31 raises the platform 32, the positioning pins 23 of the lifting panel 22 disengage from the positioning holes of the first pallet 13, and the first pallet 13 separates from the lifting panel 22. When the second lifting unit 31 raises the platform 32 to a position flush with the high-level conveyor line 4, the first moving component 33 moves the first pallet 13 and the waste box 11 to the high-level conveyor line 4.
[0050] The high-level conveyor line 4 is used to transport the waste container 11 to the compression assembly 6. Optionally, the high-level conveyor line 4 includes a second support 41, which is provided with a second moving member 43. The second moving member 43 is used to receive the first pallet 13 and the waste container 11, and to drive the first pallet 13 and the waste container 11 to move along a first direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the lifting direction of the second lifting unit 31. The moving direction of the first moving member 33 and the moving direction of the second moving member 43 are the same, and both can move back and forth in the first direction.
[0051] In this embodiment, the second moving member 43 is connected to a second driving member 44, which drives the first moving member 33 to move along a first direction. The second driving member 44 includes, but is not limited to, a motor or electric motor. The second moving member 43 includes multiple rollers arranged side by side. The second driving member 44 can drive the rollers to rotate via chains, belts, etc., to realize the conveying of the waste box 11 in the first direction.
[0052] Optionally, the second support 41 is connected to a column 42, which supports the second support 41 and adjusts its height, so that the installation position of the second moving part 43 is relatively high, higher than the position of the low-level conveyor line 3 and the compression assembly 6. The higher position of the second moving part 43 facilitates the dumping of waste from the waste box 11 into the compression assembly 6. One end of the second moving part 43 is adjacent to the low-level conveyor line 3, facilitating the receipt of the waste box 11 conveyed on the low-level conveyor line 3, and the other end of the second moving part 43 is adjacent to the compression assembly 6, facilitating the dumping of waste from the waste box 11 into the compression assembly 6 for squeezing and compression.
[0053] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 The high-level conveyor line 4 is equipped with a flipping unit 5, which is used to flip the waste box 11 so that the waste is poured into the compression assembly 6. Optionally, the flipping unit 5 includes a third driving member 51, a clamping part 53, a third moving part 52, and a flipping member. The third driving member 51 and the third moving part 52 are connected, and the clamping part 53 and the third moving part 52 are movably connected. The clamping part 53 is used to clamp the waste box 11; the flipping member is connected to the clamping part 53 to flip the waste box 11.
[0054] The flipping unit 5 includes two opposing base plates 56. Each base plate 56 has a third moving member 52 at both ends, and each third moving member 52 is connected to a clamping part 53. The two third moving members 52 are independently driven by two third driving members 51. In this embodiment, the third driving members 51 are motors, and the third moving members 52 are lead screw drives. A total of four third driving members 51 and four third moving members 52 are mounted on the two base plates 56. The two clamping parts 53 on the same base plate 56 can move away from or towards each other under the action of the third driving members 51. When the two clamping parts 53 move towards each other, they clamp the waste container 11. When the two clamping parts 53 move away from each other, they release the waste container 11.
[0055] In this embodiment, two substrates 56 are spaced apart and arranged opposite each other in a second direction. A clamping part 53 moves along a first direction on the substrate 56. A flipping member is connected to the substrate 56, which can rotate the substrate 56 to flip the waste container 11, thereby dumping the waste in the waste container 11 into the compression assembly 6. It can be understood that when the waste container 11 moves to the flipped position, the clamping part 53 clamps the waste container 11, and the two clamping parts 53 on the same substrate 56 respectively clamp two opposite sides of the waste container 11 in the first direction. The flipping member drives the substrate 56 to rotate, thereby flipping the waste container 11.
[0056] Optionally, the clamping part 53 is also provided with an anti-slip pad 54 on the side for clamping the waste box 11, which can increase the friction between the clamping part 53 and the waste box 11, making the clamping more stable and reliable. The clamping part 53 is provided with a sixth detector 55, which can be a distance measuring photoelectric sensor, for detecting the relative distance between the clamping part 53 and the waste box 11.
[0057] The second support 41 is provided with a first detector 45 and a second detector 46 spaced apart along the moving direction of the second moving member 43. The first detector 45 and the second detector 46 are used to detect the position of the waste box 11. In this embodiment, there are two first detectors 45, which are respectively installed on both sides of the second moving member 43 along a second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. Both first detectors 45 are located at the end of the second moving member 43 near the lower conveyor line 3. The two first detectors 45 are used to detect whether the waste box 11 has reached the upper conveyor line 4. The second moving member 43 only starts working when the first detector 45 detects that the waste box 11 has reached the upper conveyor line 4.
[0058] Similarly, there are two second detectors 46, respectively installed on both sides of the second moving member 43 along the second direction. Both second detectors 46 are located at the end of the second moving member 43 furthest from the lower conveyor line 3. The two second detectors 46 are used to detect whether the waste box 11 has reached the flipping position of the upper conveyor line 4. When the second detector 46 detects that the waste box 11 has reached the flipping position of the upper conveyor line 4, the clamping part 53 clamps the waste box 11, the flipping member flips the waste box 11, and the waste is poured into the compression assembly 6.
[0059] Optionally, the second bracket 41 is provided with a first limiting block 47 at one end near the compression assembly 6. The first limiting block 47 can prevent the waste box 11 from moving too far in the first direction and detaching from the second moving part 43 or falling off the bracket.
[0060] Please combine Figure 8 Optionally, the compression assembly 6 includes a compression chamber 61, a base plate 62, a fourth moving member 64, and an extruder 63. The compression chamber 61 includes an inlet 611 and an outlet disposed opposite to each other. The base plate 62 and the fourth moving member 64 are connected to open or close the outlet. The extruder 63 is disposed opposite to the base plate 62, and the extruder 63 can move toward or away from the base plate 62.
[0061] In this embodiment, the fourth moving member 64 is a hydraulic cylinder, which can drive the base plate 62 to move in the second direction to open or close the discharge port. In other embodiments, the fourth moving member 64 can also use a cylinder or linear motor to move the base plate 62. When it is necessary to compress the waste, the base plate 62 closes the discharge port. The base plate 62 and the compression box 61 form a receiving cavity for accommodating the waste. After the waste is poured into the compression box 61, the extruder 63 moves towards the base plate 62 to squeeze and compress the waste. Optionally, the extruder 63 can compress the waste into a block with a relatively high density. After compression, the base plate 62 moves to open the discharge port, and the compressed waste falls from the discharge port onto the second conveying assembly 9 under the action of gravity.
[0062] Please combine Figure 9 Optionally, the second conveying assembly 9 is at least partially located below the compression assembly 6 to receive compressed waste material falling from the compression chamber 61. The second conveying assembly 9 includes a third support 91, a fifth moving member 92, a second tray 8, and a pickup unit 7. The fifth moving member 92 is disposed on the third support 91, and the second tray 8 is movably disposed on the fifth moving member 92. The second tray 8 is used to receive the compressed waste material.
[0063] In this embodiment, the third support 91 is at least partially located below the compression chamber 61. The fifth moving member 92 can drive the second tray 8 to move back and forth on the third support 91 along a first direction. Optionally, the third support 91 is provided with a third detector 93 and a fourth detector 94 for detecting the position of blocky waste.
[0064] Optionally, there are two third detectors 93, located on both sides of the third bracket 91 in the second direction, and on the side of the third bracket 91 closer to the compression assembly 6. The third detectors 93 are used to detect whether the second tray 8 has received compressed waste. If the third detectors 93 detect that the second tray 8 has received compressed waste, the fifth moving member 92 moves the second tray 8.
[0065] Similarly, there are two fourth detectors 94, located on both sides of the third support 91 in the second direction, and on the side of the third support 91 away from the compression assembly 6. The fourth detectors 94 are used to detect whether the second tray 8 has moved to a preset position. If the fourth detectors 94 detect that the second tray 8 has reached the preset position, the pickup unit 7 starts working, and the pickup unit 7 is used to pick up the compressed waste and move the waste to the waste collection station 10.
[0066] The fifth moving part 92 and the fifth driving part are connected by a transmission. The fifth driving part includes, but is not limited to, a motor. The fifth moving part 92 uses multiple parallel rollers for conveying. The third support 91 is provided with second limiting blocks 95 at both ends in the first direction. The second limiting blocks 95 are used to limit the movement of the second tray 8 in the first direction to prevent the second tray 8 from detaching from the third support 91 or falling off the third support 91.
[0067] In this embodiment, the first moving member 33, the second moving member 43 and the fifth moving member 92 each include multiple rollers arranged side by side. The roller conveying method has low friction, high conveying efficiency and fast transfer speed.
[0068] Please combine Figure 10 Optionally, the picking unit 7 includes a gripper 71, which is equipped with a fifth detector 72. The gripper 71 can be a robotic arm or other gripping element. The gripper 71 is equipped with a fifth detector 72. When the fifth detector 72 detects compressed waste, the gripper 71 clamps to pick up the waste and transfers it to the waste collection station 10 for unified recycling of waste.
[0069] The first detector 45, the second detector 46, the third detector 93, the fourth detector 94 and the fifth detector 72 can be photoelectric sensors, or they can be infrared sensors, laser beam sensors, rangefinders or other detection elements, without specific limitations.
[0070] The working principle of the automatic waste transfer device provided in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows:
[0071] The waste buffer device 1 is equipped with a sensor to detect whether the waste box 11 is full. If the full condition is met, the baffle below the pressing mechanism connected to the waste buffer device 1 closes. The first lifting unit 14 drives the first support 12 to descend, thereby lowering the first tray 13 and the waste box 11. The waste buffer device 1 sends a material replacement signal to the AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) scheduling system, which then arranges two transport trolleys 2 to begin the transfer process. The two transport trolleys 2 include a first trolley and a second trolley. The first trolley carries an empty waste box 11, while the second trolley is empty. Optionally, the second trolley sends an opening command to the waste buffer device 1. Upon receiving the command, the waste buffer device 1 raises the roller shutter door. After the roller shutter door is in position, the waste buffer device 1 sends an opening completion command to the second trolley. The second trolley enters the interior of the waste buffer device 1 and is positioned using the positioning holes on the first tray 13 below the waste box 11. After positioning is completed, the second trolley lifts the lifting panel 22, inserts the positioning pin 23 into the positioning hole of the first tray 13, and lifts the waste box 11. The second trolley moves out of the waste buffer device 1 and moves the first tray 13 and the full waste box 11 together to the low-level conveyor line 3.
[0072] After the second trolley moves out of the waste buffer device 1, the waste buffer device 1 sends an empty box signal to the first trolley, which carries an empty waste box 11. The first trolley moves into the interior of the waste buffer device 1 using a ground positioning device. The lifting panel 22 of the first trolley carries the first pallet 13 and the empty waste box 11. The first trolley places the first pallet 13 and the empty waste box 11 on the first support 12. After the sensor on the first support 12 detects that the waste box 11 is in place, it sends a positioning signal to the waste buffer device 1. The waste buffer device 1 sends a docking completion signal to the first trolley, and the first trolley moves out of the docking position of the waste buffer device 1, waiting for the next task. The first lifting unit 14 lifts the first pallet 13 and the empty waste box 11, the baffle below the pressing mechanism opens, and the empty waste box 11 begins to fill with material.
[0073] After the second trolley reaches the low-level conveyor line 3 according to the ground positioning device, it docks with the U-shaped platform 32. The second trolley moves into the U-shaped opening of the platform 32, lowers the lifting panel 22, and places the first pallet 13 and waste box 11 on the U-shaped platform 32. The platform 32 is equipped with a through-beam photoelectric sensor. After the through-beam photoelectric sensor detects that the first pallet 13 has arrived, the second lifting unit 31 lifts the platform 32 to be flush with the high-level conveyor line 4 and docks with it. A set of first detectors 45 is set at the entrance of the high-level conveyor line 4. The first detectors 45 can be through-beam photoelectric sensors. When the first detector 45 detects that material has entered, the second drive unit 44 drives the roller to rotate via the chain, and the waste box 11 begins to be transported to the compression assembly 6.
[0074] After the second detector 46 at the end of the high-level conveyor line 4 detects that the material has arrived, the control system sends a docking signal to the flipping units 5 installed on both sides of the high-level conveyor line 4. Upon receiving the signal, the flipping units 5 extend. When the sixth detector 55, placed on the clamping part 53, detects the waste box 11, the clamping parts 53 on both sides control the third moving part 52 (such as a ball screw) to rotate through the third driving part 51 (such as a servo motor), so that the clamping part 53 clamps the waste box 11. After clamping the waste box 11, the waste box 11 is lifted, and the flipping part flips the waste box 11, pouring the waste inside the waste box 11 into the compression box 61.
[0075] After the waste dumping is completed, the flipping unit 5 places the waste box 11 back onto the first tray 13 on the high-level conveyor line 4. The waste box 11 then returns to the entrance end of the high-level conveyor line 4 via the second moving part 43, where it is received by the second lifting unit 31 and lowered onto the platform 32. The second trolley waiting at the low-level conveyor line 3 then retrieves the empty waste box 11, awaiting the dispatch system's task of delivering the waste box 11.
[0076] After a photoelectric sensor on the extrusion member 63 of the compression assembly 6 detects waste material entering the compression chamber 61, the hydraulic cylinder is activated to compact the waste material into a block. After the compression is completed, the fourth moving member 64 (e.g., a hydraulic cylinder) installed on the side pulls out the bottom plate 62, and the compressed waste block falls onto the second tray 8 of the second conveying assembly 9 under gravity. The second conveying assembly 9 is equipped with two third detectors 93 and a fourth detector 94 at the inlet and outlet ends, respectively. When the two third detectors 93 (e.g., photoelectric beam sensors) at the inlet end detect that the material has fallen onto the second tray 8, the fourth driving member 96 (e.g., a servo motor) on the second conveying assembly 9 drives the roller to rotate, transferring the second tray 8 to a preset position (loading position). After the fourth detector 94 at the loading position detects that the material has arrived, the control system sends task information to the picking unit 7. The picking unit 7 is positioned by the fifth detector 72 set on the gripper 71, clamps the gripper 71 by the hydraulic cylinder, and places the second tray 8 and the waste block together in the waste collection station 10 for manual processing.
[0077] In summary, the automatic waste transfer device provided by this utility model embodiment has the following beneficial effects, including:
[0078] The automatic waste transfer device provided in this embodiment of the invention relies on a transport trolley 2 to automatically transfer the waste box 11 in the waste buffer device 1, and then transfers it to the compression component 6 via the first conveying component to compress the waste. Finally, the compressed waste is recycled. It features a high degree of automation, high efficiency, and saves manpower and resources. It eliminates the need for packaging plastic bags, saving costs and facilitating environmental management in the workshop. This embodiment employs multiple sets of detectors to detect the position of the waste box 11, which is uniformly controlled by a control system to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of each action, improving reliability and operating efficiency, and facilitating unmanned automatic operation.
