Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen waste collection and transportation, and in particular to a kitchen waste collection and transportation bin. Background Technology

[0002] Food waste, also commonly known as swill or slop, is household waste generated during daily consumption. It mainly includes food processing scraps and leftovers from households, schools, canteens, and the catering industry. Its composition is complex, primarily a mixture of oil, water, fruit peels, vegetables, rice, flour, fish, meat, bones, as well as discarded tableware, plastics, paper towels, and other materials. Food waste bins are semi-enclosed containers specifically designed for food waste, used in conjunction with ordinary mechanical sanitation trailers or compactor trucks to achieve centralized collection, transportation, and processing of food waste.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent publication number CN207467446U, which discloses a food waste bin and a transport vehicle for transporting the food waste bin. The food waste bin includes a bin body, a pressure-bearing structure, and a drainage structure. The pressure-bearing structure is located inside the bin body and divides the bin body into a waste storage area and a water storage area. The pressure-bearing structure has through holes and is used to support the waste, allowing the waste to squeeze out water under its own weight. The water enters the water storage area through the through holes, and the drainage structure is used to discharge the water out of the bin body.

[0004] In existing food waste bins, the waste placed on the pressure-bearing structure (i.e., the drain rack) of the bin uses its own weight to cause the waste liquid to concentrate on the inner side of the bottom of the bin. However, this method takes a long time and the waste liquid collection effect is relatively average.

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, the designer has actively researched and innovated in order to create a garbage bin for the collection and use of kitchen waste, making it more valuable for industrial applications. Utility Model Content

[0027] A set of casters 2 is installed at the bottom of the trash can body 1 for moving the trash can body 1, improving its portability. In addition, a locking mechanism such as feet can be installed at the bottom of the trash can body 1 to securely install the entire trash can body 1 on the ground, improving the stability of the trash can body 1 during the subsequent drainage process.

[0028] like Figure 3 A drain rack 12 is installed in the area near the bottom of the trash can body 1. The drain rack 12 has several drain holes 13. The waste liquid in the trash can body 1 is collected in the trash can body 1 below through the drain holes 13 and can finally be discharged from the drain outlet 10 on one side.

[0029] like Figure 4 A support structure is designed inside the trash can body 1 below the drain rack 12 to support the drain rack 12: A first tray 15 is provided inside the garbage bin body 1 at the front middle of the lower part of the drain rack 12, and a second tray 20 is provided inside the garbage bin body 1 at the rear middle and on both sides of the lower part of the drain rack 12. The drain rack 12 is placed on the first tray 15 and the second tray 20, and the first tray 15 and the second tray 20 are integrally formed with the garbage bin body 1.

[0030] The first tray 15 is designed with a positioning structure that is compatible with the drain rack 12: At least one positioning block 17 is provided on the first tray 15. A positioning groove 16 adapted to the positioning block 17 is provided on the drain rack 12 directly above the positioning block 17. When installing the drain rack 12, the positioning groove 16 on the drain rack 12 is aligned with the positioning block 17 below.

[0031] To improve the stability of the drain rack 12 after it is placed on the support structure, a locking structure adapted to the drain rack 12 is also designed on the first support plate 15: A locking block 14 is installed at the center of the front end of the drain rack 12. The locking block 14 is locked together with the locking hole 19 on the first support plate 15 by locking bolts 18. Alternatively, the locking block 14 can be installed by passing the locking bolts 18 through the locking holes on the drain rack 12 and the locking holes 19 on the first support plate 15 in sequence, so that the three are installed together at once; or the locking block 14 can be installed on the drain rack 12 first and then on the first support plate 15.

[0032] In addition, a filter screen can be installed at the bottom of the drain rack 12 to facilitate preliminary filtration of waste liquid and subsequent processing.

[0033] The second embodiment of this utility model: like Figure 1 and Figure 2 A pressing mechanism 8 is detachably installed on the lid support 3.

[0034] like Figure 5 The pressing mechanism 8 mainly includes a pressing base frame 21, a pressure plate 23, and a pressing plate 29. The pressure plate 23 and the pressing plate 29 are located on the upper and lower sides of the pressing base frame 21, respectively. The bottom of the pressure plate 23 passes through the pressing base frame 21 via at least one connecting rod 26 and is then connected to the pressing plate 29 below. The connecting rod 26 is movably mounted on the pressing base frame 21 via a linear bearing.

[0035] A clip 7 is provided on the lid support frame 3, and the clip 22 located on the outside of the pressing base frame 21 is engaged with the clip 7 below. This structure allows the pressing base frame 21 to be easily installed and removed from the garbage can body 1.

[0036] A pressure handle 24 is installed on the pressure plate 23. After the pressing mechanism 8 is installed on the garbage bin 1, the garbage inside the garbage bin 1 can be compressed manually by using the pressure handle 24. The operator holds the pressure handle 24 to move the pressure plate 23 up and down frequently, and then the pressing plate 29 repeatedly compresses the garbage inside the garbage bin 1.

[0037] The garbage inside the garbage bin 1 can also be compressed by closing the lid 4: At least one pressure-bearing column 25 is provided on the top of the pressure plate 23, and a pressure block 9 adapted to the pressure column 25 is provided on the bottom inner side of the lid 4. When the lid 4 is closed, the pressure block 9 on the bottom inner side of the lid 4 can press down the pressure column 25 below, thereby driving the pressure plate 29 to move downward, thereby compressing the garbage in the garbage bin 1.

[0038] In order to better adapt the pressure block 9 to the pressure column 25, an arc-shaped groove is provided on the inner bottom side of the pressure block 9 to match the arc-shaped end of the top of the pressure column 25.

[0039] To improve the stability of the pressure plate 23 and the pressure plate 29 during their vertical movement, several guide rods 27 are installed between them.
