Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of urban or rural sanitation technology, and in particular to a garbage bin and a compression station. Background Technology

[0002] Garbage bins, used in garbage trucks and garbage compression stations to receive and hold garbage that is to be compressed or has already been compressed, are integrated containers designed for efficient garbage collection and transfer. They combine compression and volume reduction with airtight storage functions and are widely used in urban or rural sanitation systems, such as garbage transfer stations, compressed garbage trucks, and smart community collection points.

[0003] Current garbage bins suffer from two main problems. First, their feed gates rely on four-bar linkages for large-angle tilting, resulting in complex structures that are difficult to maintain. Furthermore, these linkages have numerous nodes and multiple levels of friction transmission, leading to significant energy loss and a tendency for insufficient cylinder power to cause tilting jams. Second, garbage can easily spill onto the ground from the bin's feed opening during unloading. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a garbage bin and compression station that can prevent garbage from spilling onto the ground and causing leakage. It also features a simpler structure, easier maintenance, and higher transfer efficiency.

[0005] The embodiments of this application can be implemented as follows: In a first aspect, this utility model provides a trash can, comprising: The box body is equipped with a feeding hopper; The feed door is hinged to the box body; A tilting cylinder, with its two ends hinged to the housing and the feed gate respectively, is used to drive the feed gate to tilt relative to the housing, so as to open or close the feed inlet of the feed hopper.

[0006] In an optional embodiment, the feed gate is provided with a sealing strip extending circumferentially. When the feed gate closes the feed inlet, the sealing strip is squeezed together by the feed hopper and the feed gate.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, a buffer block is provided on the housing, which is used to abut against the feed gate when the tilting cylinder drives the feed gate to open the feed inlet.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the feed gate is provided with a reinforcing beam.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the box body has a wedge-shaped structure, the box body has a front end and a rear end, the feed hopper is located near the front end of the box body, and the internal cross-sectional area of ​​the box body gradually increases along the direction from the front end to the rear end of the box body.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, the top plate and the bottom plate of the enclosure are inclined relative to each other; And / or, The two side panels of the box are inclined relative to each other.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the wedge angle of the housing is 10~15°.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the housing is provided with side baffles on both sides of the feed door.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the side baffle is connected to the feed hopper.

[0014] Secondly, this utility model provides a compression station, including the garbage bin described in any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the embodiments of this application include, for example: When the feed gate is opened by the tilting cylinder, the feed hopper's inlet is opened, allowing garbage to be unloaded into the garbage bin. This allows for a larger area of ​​garbage collection, making it easier for garbage bins or garbage trucks to directly unload garbage into the bin, preventing garbage spillage on the ground. Simultaneously, the tilting cylinder directly drives the feed gate to tilt relative to the bin, opening or closing the feed inlet. This direct-drive mechanism eliminates the need for the traditional four-bar linkage, resulting in a simpler structure, easier maintenance, and higher efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a detailed description of some embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0026] This application discloses a garbage bin that can be used in garbage trucks or compression stations, etc. The garbage bin includes a body 100, a feeding door 200, and a tipping cylinder 300.

[0027] The housing 100 is provided with a feeding hopper 110; the feeding door 200 is hinged to the housing 100; the two ends of the tilting cylinder 300 are respectively hinged to the housing 100 and the feeding door 200, and are used to drive the feeding door 200 to tilt relative to the housing 100. The tilting trajectory A is an arc, so that the feeding door 200 opens or closes the feeding port 111 of the feeding hopper 110.

[0028] In this way, when the feed gate 200 is driven by the tilting cylinder 300 to open the feed inlet 111 of the feed hopper 110, the garbage can be unloaded into the garbage bin through the feed hopper 110. This allows the feed hopper 110 to receive garbage over a larger area, making it easier for garbage bins or garbage trucks to directly unload garbage into the bin 100, avoiding the problem of garbage spilling onto the ground. At the same time, the use of the tilting cylinder 300 to directly drive the feed gate 200 to tilt relative to the bin 100 to open or close the feed inlet 111 eliminates the need for the traditional four-bar linkage mechanism, resulting in a simpler structure, easier maintenance, and higher transmission efficiency.

[0029] It should also be noted that in the existing technology, the garbage bins for the compression station have direct openings without a hopper structure. The hopper is on the compressor. The garbage truck unloads the garbage onto the compressor hopper and then it reaches the garbage bin. The garbage remaining on the hopper will spill onto the ground when the machine separates. In addition, the compressor structure is relatively complex and the production cost is high.

[0030] In this application, the feed hopper 110 is directly installed on the housing 100. This not only prevents garbage from spilling during the separation of the housing, but also reduces the sealing requirements for the connection between the compressor and the garbage bin inlet. In addition, it simplifies the compressor structure, eliminating the need for a hopper structure on the compressor, thus reducing manufacturing difficulty. Furthermore, the upward path of the compressor during housing separation is significantly reduced, resulting in a more compact overall layout of the compression station. This greatly enhances the civil engineering compatibility of the entire compression station with the station building, making the renovation of old compression stations easier to achieve.

[0031] In addition, since the existing garbage bins are straight cavities, meaning that the internal cross-sectional area of ​​the garbage bin is basically the same from the front end 120 to the rear end 130, the garbage is easily squeezed inside the garbage bin, which can cause slight deformation of the garbage bin. This can result in a situation where the front cross-section is larger than the rear cross-section, causing certain resistance during the unloading process and making it difficult to unload. This can easily lead to jamming during unloading.

[0032] Therefore, in this embodiment, the box 100 is designed as a wedge shape, that is, the box 100 has a front end 120 and a rear end 130, the feed hopper 110 is set close to the front end 120 of the box 100, and the internal cross-sectional area of ​​the box 100 gradually increases along the direction from the front end 120 to the rear end 130 of the box 100.

[0033] In this way, by designing the container 100 as a wedge-shaped structure with a small front section 120 and a large rear section 130, even if the garbage container is squeezed by garbage and undergoes local deformation during unloading, it will be partially offset, and the rear section 130 will not be smaller than the front section 120. Therefore, there will be no jamming during unloading.

[0034] In detail, the top plate 140 and the bottom plate 150 of the container 100 can be designed to be relatively inclined. For example, the bottom plate 150 of the container 100 can be horizontal, the two side plates 160 can be vertical, and the top plate 140 can be at an acute angle with the horizontal plane, that is, the top plate 140 is inclined. Of course, the top plate 140 can also be horizontal, and the bottom plate 150 can be at an acute angle with the horizontal plane, that is, the bottom plate 150 is inclined. This can achieve a wedge-shaped structure with a small cross-section at the front end 120 and a large cross-section at the rear end 130 of the garbage container.

[0035] Alternatively, the top plate 140 and the side plate 160 can both be horizontal, and the two side plates 160 of the container 100 can be inclined to form a V-shape, which can also achieve a wedge-shaped structure with a small front section 120 and a large rear section.

[0036] In addition, in some embodiments, the trash can may be shaped as a truncated pyramid, as long as the front 120 section of the trash can is small and the rear 130 section is large.

[0037] The wedge angle α of the container 100 is 10~15°. For example, the angle of inclination of the top plate 140 relative to the horizontal bottom plate 150 and / or the angle of inclination of the two side plates 160 relative to each other is 10~15°. This can avoid the impact of excessive wedge angle on the garbage storage volume, and avoid the impact of excessive wedge angle on the unloading smoothness. Therefore, the unloading smoothness can be guaranteed while ensuring the loading volume.

[0038] Understandably, the feed hopper 110 is generally located on the top plate 140 of the housing 100, and the corresponding tilting cylinder 300 and feed gate 200 are also hinged to the top plate 140 of the housing 100. In detail, the feed gate 200 is hinged to the top plate 140 near the feed inlet 111 via the feed gate hinge seat 210. One end of the tilting cylinder 300 is hinged to the top plate 140 near the discharge port 130 at the rear end of the housing 100 via the first cylinder hinge seat 310, and the other end of the tilting cylinder 300 is hinged to the feed gate 200 via the second cylinder hinge seat 320. In this way, when the tilting cylinder 300 extends or retracts, the feed gate 200 can be pushed and pulled to achieve a large-angle opening and closing, thereby opening or closing the feed inlet 111 of the feed hopper 110.

[0039] Optionally, the feed door 200 is provided with a sealing strip 220 extending along its circumference. When the feed door 200 closes the feed inlet 111, the sealing strip 220 is squeezed by the feed hopper 110 and the feed door 200. In this way, the sealing strip 220 can reduce the impact on the container 100 when the feed door 200 closes the feed inlet 111, and also has a certain sealing effect, which can make the appearance of the garbage bin more neat when the door is closed and prevent the odor inside the container 100 from leaking out.

[0040] The sealing strip 220 can be made of elastic materials such as silicone, and can be fixed to the feed door 200 by embedding in the slot and adhesive.

[0041] A buffer block 141 is provided on the top plate 140 of the housing 100. When the tilting cylinder 300 drives the feed gate 200 to open the feed inlet 111, the buffer block 141 is used to abut against the feed gate 200. In this way, the buffer block 141 can avoid directly hitting the top plate 140 during the process of the feed gate 200 opening the feed inlet 111, absorb kinetic energy, and reduce noise.

[0042] The feed gate 200 is equipped with a reinforcing beam 230 to ensure the rigidity of the feed gate 200.

[0043] The feed gate 200 has a partial recess to form a reinforcing beam 230 and a clearance groove on its two sides. When the feed gate 200 closes the feed inlet 111, the clearance groove faces the inside of the housing 100, and the reinforcing beam 230 faces away from the housing 100. In this way, the reinforcing beam 230 and the clearance groove are integrally formed by the partial recess of the feed gate 200, realizing the dual functions of structural reinforcement and motion avoidance. It can not only strengthen the rigidity of the feed gate 200, but also reserve movement space for the compressor through the clearance groove after the feed gate 200 opens the feed inlet 111, preventing interference.

[0044] The reinforcing beam 230 and the clearance groove can be formed by sheet metal stamping or welding of reinforcing ribs, so that the feed door 200 is "recessed" in a local area, naturally forming a raised reinforcing beam 230 on its back.

[0045] Side baffles 170 are provided on both sides of the feed gate 200 on the container 100. On the one hand, they can prevent garbage from spilling during the operation of the compression station. On the other hand, the appearance of the garbage container is designed to make the garbage container look more integrated.

[0046] Optionally, the side baffle 170 is connected to the feed hopper 110, which further upgrades the side baffle 170 from a "passive protective component" to a functional component that actively participates in waste collection. It is connected to the feed hopper 110 to form a continuous and extended receiving surface, increasing the receiving range of the feed hopper 110.

[0047] The inner side of the side baffle 170 can form a funnel-shaped guide surface, guiding the waste to concentrate towards the center of the feed inlet 111; preventing waste from getting stuck in the door gap or accumulating at the edge, and improving compression efficiency.

[0048] This application also discloses a compression station, which includes a compressor and a garbage bin as described in the above embodiments. The compressor can extend into the bin 100 through the feed inlet 111 to compress the garbage, thereby increasing the total amount of garbage stored in the garbage bin.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
