Description

Waste compression facility{APPARATUS FOR COMPRESSING WASTE}

The present invention relates to a waste compression facility, and more particularly, to a waste compression facility that compresses waste to reduce its volume, and allows the compressed waste to be conveniently transported.

In recent years, the generation of household waste is increasing exponentially due to high industrialization. Household waste is generated in various forms, and its treatment method is also various.

Household waste can be divided into recyclable waste and non-recyclable waste. Wastes that cannot be recycled are disposed of by landfill or incineration.

In general, wastes other than those that are recyclable among household wastes are collected and transported, collected at a transfer site, and transported to a landfill or incineration treatment facility depending on the type. The waste collected at the transfer station is compressed by a waste compression device and loaded into a transport container and transported to a landfill or incineration treatment facility.

A conventional waste compression device installed in a transfer station or the like has a structure in which the operation of simply compressing a certain amount of waste in a transfer container is repeatedly performed using a hydraulic device as a driving source, or a structure in which pre-compressed waste is pushed into the transfer container.

The fixed bar operating mechanism 327 translates and rotates the fixed bar 321 so that the locking portion 322 may engage with the locking jaw 414 or escape from the locking jaw 414.

The slider 328 may be moved linearly by the crank mechanism 329 to advance toward the front of the housing 310 or retreat in the opposite direction. According to the movement of the slider 328, the fixed bar 321 may also advance and retreat.

The crank mechanism 329 includes a driving crank 330 capable of rotational movement, and a connection crank 331 connected to the driving crank 330 to perform rotational movement. A driving unit (not shown) for providing a driving force is connected to the driving crank 330, and the driving crank 330 may rotate in a forward direction or a reverse direction by the driving force of the driving unit. One side of the connecting crank 331 is pivotally coupled to the driving crank 330 and the other side is pivotally coupled to the slider 328 to connect the connecting crank 331 and the slider 328. The connecting crank 331 may convert the rotational force of the driving crank 330 into a linear moving force and transmit it to the slider 328. Accordingly, the slider 328 can be linked to the driving crank 330. When the driving crank 330 rotates, the connecting crank 331 pushes or pulls the slider 328 so that the slider 328 can move linearly.

The first guide roller 332 guides the fixing bar 321 to linearly move in contact with the straight portion 323 while the fixing bar 321 is moved by the fixing bar operating mechanism 327. The second guide roller 333 may guide the fixed bar 321 to rotate at a certain angle while being in contact with the inclined portion 324 in the process of moving by the fixed bar operating mechanism 327 to move the fixed bar 321 in translation. have.

As shown in (a) of FIG. 7, when the crank mechanism 329 pushes the slider 328 and the fixing bar 321 advances, the inclined portion 324 moves in contact with the second guide roller 333 . At this time, the fixed bar 321 rotates at a certain angle with respect to the slider 328 while advancing. A direction in which the fixing bar 321 rotates with respect to the slider 328 is a direction in which the fixing bar 321 is away from the side of the waste container 400 located in front of the housing 310.

On the other hand, as shown in (b) of FIG. 7, when the crank mechanism 329 pulls the slider 328 and the fixing bar 321 is retracted, the straight portion 323 contacts the first guide roller 332 It moves. At this time, the fixing bar 321 rotates in a direction closer to the side of the waste container 400 while retreating. The fixed bar 321 is rotated to an angle whose length direction is parallel to the moving direction of the slider 328. At this time, the locking portion 322 of the fixing bar 321 is engaged with the locking projection 414 of the waste container 400 so that the waste container 400 is fixed to the housing 310.

The specific structures of the fixing bar 321 and the fixing bar operating mechanism 327 provided in the fixing unit 320 are not limited to those shown and may be variously changed. And the fixing unit 320 may be changed to a variety of other structures other than the illustrated structure.

The compression unit 340 is installed to be linearly movable inside the housing 310. The compression unit 340 may advance to the front of the housing 310 or retreat to the inside of the housing 310 by a driving unit (not shown) installed in the housing 310. As shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 8, the compression unit 340 may pass through the opening 312 and enter the interior of the waste container 400. The compression unit 340 may repeat an operation of advancing into the interior of the waste container 400 while pushing the waste into the waste inlet 311 and retreating to the position where the waste is put through the waste inlet 311. have. The compression unit 340 may carry and compress the waste into the waste container 400 by repeating the forward and backward operations.

9A and 9B, the compression unit 340 includes a frame 341, a pair of front casters 342 and a pair of rear casters 343 coupled to the frame 341. ), a shielding plate 344, a plurality of clamp mechanisms 346, and a plurality of scraper units 351.

A pair of front casters 342 are coupled to both lower left and right sides of the frame 341, and a pair of rear casters 343 are coupled to be spaced apart from each front caster 342 on both lower left and right sides of the frame 341. . The front casters 342 are disposed relatively close to the front end of the frame 341, and the rear casters 343 are disposed relatively far from the front end of the frame 341. The diameter of the front caster 342 is larger than the diameter of the rear caster 343.

Since the compression unit 340 compresses the waste while advancing toward the waste container 400, the front caster 342 receives a larger load than the rear caster 343. When the diameters of the front casters and the rear casters are the same as in the related art, it is likely that the front casters are lifted upward due to inertia when the compression unit moves forward. In this case, the movable door of the waste container that moves in combination with the compression unit may contact the housing to wear or deform the housing. In addition, when the housing is worn or deformed, a gap between the compression unit and the housing is widened, causing a problem in that waste flows into the rear space of the housing. In addition, when the diameters of the front casters and the rear casters are the same as in the related art, when the compression unit moves backward, it is likely that the front casters are shifted toward the bottom of the housing by inertia. Even in this case, the moving door coupled with the compression unit comes into contact with the housing, causing a problem of abrasion or deformation of the housing.

On the other hand, in the waste compression facility 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, since the front caster 342 of the compression unit 340 has a diameter larger than the diameter of the rear caster 343, the front side of the compression unit 340 The caster 342 does not lift upwards. In addition, since the front caster 342 has a larger contact area to the housing 310 than the rear caster 343, the phenomenon that the front caster 342 is not shifted toward the bottom of the housing 310 does not occur.

The shielding plate 344 is provided on the upper side of the frame 341. The shielding plate 344 may shield the waste inlet 311 of the housing 310. As shown in (a) of FIG. 11, when the compression unit 340 advances toward the waste container 400, the shielding plate 344 shields the waste inlet 311, thereby inflow of waste through the waste inlet 311 Is blocked. And as shown in (b) of FIG. 11, when the compression unit 340 is retracted, the shielding plate 344 is removed from the waste inlet 311. At this time, since the waste inlet 311 is opened, waste can be fed into the front side of the compression unit 340 through the waste inlet.

A plurality of clamp mechanisms 346 are installed so as to protrude forward at the tip end of the frame 341. The clamp mechanism 346 fixes the movable door 430 of the waste container 400 to the frame 341. The clamp mechanism 346 includes a support 347, a fixing hook 348 disposed at an end of the support 347 and a slip contact portion 349. The support 347 is pivotally coupled to the frame 341, and as the support 347 rotates, the fixing hook 348 and the slip contact portion 349 may move in the vertical direction. The slip contact portion 349 is disposed on the side of the fixing hook 348. The clamp mechanism 346 can fix the movable door 430 to the frame 341 by engaging the fixed hook 348 with the movable door 430.

In the drawings, it is shown that the four clamp mechanisms 346 are installed so as to be spaced apart in the vertical, left and right directions, but the number or position of the clamp mechanisms 346 may be variously changed. In addition, the clamp mechanism 346 may be changed to a variety of other structures that can be detachably coupled to the movable door 430 in addition to the illustrated structure.

A plurality of scraper units 351 are installed to be adjacent to the front casters 342 and the rear casters 343, respectively. The scraper unit 351 includes a front scraper 352 and a rear scraper 353. The front scraper 352 and the rear scraper 353 are disposed in the front and rear with the front caster 342 or the rear caster 343 interposed therebetween. That is, in the scraper unit 351 disposed adjacent to the front caster 342, the front scraper 352 and the rear scraper 353 are disposed on both front and rear sides with the front caster 342 interposed therebetween. In addition, the scraper unit 351 disposed adjacent to the rear caster 343 is disposed on both front and rear sides of the front scraper 352 and the rear scraper 353 with the rear caster 343 interposed therebetween. The front scraper 352 and the rear scraper 353 are disposed to be inclined with respect to the linear movement direction of the compression unit 340.

When the compression unit 340 is moved, the front scraper 352 and the rear scraper 353 contact the inner bottom of the housing 310 to move while sweeping waste that has fallen on the inner bottom of the housing 310.

When the compression unit 340 advances, the front scraper 352 precedes the front caster 342 or the rear caster 343 and wastes placed in front of the front caster 342 or the rear caster 343 is removed from the compression unit 340 Can be pushed outward. Therefore, the front caster 342 or the rear caster 343 can advance smoothly without being disturbed by waste. In addition, there is no problem that waste flows into the compression unit 340.

On the other hand, when the compression unit 340 moves backward, the rear scraper 353 precedes the front casters 342 or the rear casters 343 and wastes placed in front of the front casters 342 or the rear casters 343 are removed from the compression unit ( 340) can be pushed outward. Therefore, the front caster 342 or the rear caster 343 can be smoothly moved backward without being disturbed by waste. In addition, there is no problem of inflow of waste.

The compression unit 340 is not limited to the illustrated structure. The compression unit 340 may be changed to various other structures capable of transporting the waste input through the waste inlet 311 to the waste container 400 while reciprocating. The clamp mechanism 346 or the scraper unit 351 provided in the compression unit 340 is not limited to the illustrated one and may be variously changed.

Referring to FIG. 10, the foreign material collection unit 360 is installed under the housing 310 so as to collect foreign materials flowing into the housing 310. Foreign matter flowing into the space located in front of the compression unit 340 among the internal spaces of the housing 310 is transported to the waste container 400 by the compression unit 340, so there is no problem. On the other hand, foreign matter partially introduced into the space located at the rear of the compression unit 340 may hinder the movement of the compression unit 340 and contaminate various components installed in the interior space of the housing 310.

In the process of compressing the waste by reciprocating the compression unit 340, foreign matter such as waste that partially flows into the rear space of the compression unit 340 is removed from the foreign matter inlet 362 by the scraper unit 351 of the compression unit 340. Is transferred to the side. The foreign material transferred to the foreign material inlet 362 flows into the inside of the foreign material collection housing 361 and falls onto the sieve 363. At this time, the leachate contained in the foreign material passes through the sieve 363, flows into the leachate discharge unit 364, and is discharged to the outside through the leachate discharge unit 364. Although not shown in the drawing, a container or pipe for collecting the leachate may be connected to the leachate discharge part 364. In addition, a discharge valve for controlling the discharge of the leachate may be installed in the leachate discharge unit 364. In addition, the foreign material collection housing 361 may be provided with a discharge unit for discharging the foreign material from which the leachate has been removed to the outside.

In addition to the illustrated structure, the foreign material collection unit 360 may be changed into various other structures capable of collecting foreign matter flowing into the housing 310. In addition, the number or installation position of the foreign material collection unit 360 can be variously changed.

Referring to FIG. 11, the shielding unit 370 is installed at the front end of the housing 310 to prevent waste from being discharged from the waste container 400 during operation of the compression unit 340. The shielding unit 370 includes a gate guide 371 coupled to the housing 310 and a shielding gate 372 installed on the gate guide 371 to move up and down.

On the other hand, the door pin 435 may move outward of the container body 410 and escape from the insertion groove 432 to unlock the movable door 430.

The door pin 435 can be moved by the door pin operation unit 380 of the compression device 300. When the waste container 400 is docked to the compression device 300, the movable bar 381 of the door pin operation unit 380 is placed in a position capable of contacting the door pin 435. As shown in FIG. 17, when the movable bar 381 moves in an outward direction, the door pin 435 is released from the insertion groove 432 of the movable door 430.

On the other hand, after the door pin 435 is separated from the movable door 430, the movable bar 381 moves in the inward direction to push the door pin 435 toward the movable door 430, and the door pin 435 is inserted into the insertion groove ( 432). At this time, the movable door 430 is fixed to the container body 410 while shielding the entrance 412.

The door pin 435 is limited in motion by the stopper 440. 16 to 18, a pair of stoppers 440 are installed on the left and right sides of the container body 410 so as to correspond to the pair of door pins 435. The stopper 440 is pivotally coupled to the container body 410, and may interfere with the door pin 435 from the outside of the door pin 435. If an external force is not applied to the stopper 440, the stopper 440 maintains an angle in contact with the door pin 435. At this time, the door pin 435 is blocked by the stopper 440 and cannot escape from the movable door 430. Accordingly, the movable door 430 may be stably fixed by the door pin 435.

The stopper 440 may be rotated by the stopper release unit 375 of the compression device 300. As shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 18, when the waste container 400 is docked to the compression device 300, the stopper release portion 375 contacts the stopper 440 and rotates the stopper 440 Will be ordered.

The clear plate 445 is elastically supported by a spring 447 installed on the container body 410. After the pusher 385 is released from the clear plate 445, the clear plate 445 is returned to its original shape by the elastic force of the spring 447 to close the upper portion of the inlet 412.

When the clear plate 445 is restored to its original state, its end contacts the upper end of the movable door 430. Accordingly, the clear plate 445 is supported by the movable door 430 to maintain a closed state of the upper portion of the movable door 430.

After the clear plate 445 is returned to its original state, it may receive pressure in the outer direction of the inlet 412 by the waste filled in the chamber 411. In particular, while the waste container 400 is being transported by a transport vehicle, the clear plate 445 may receive a strong pressure as the waste stored in the chamber 411 flows. In this case, the clear plate 445 may be damaged, and the inlet 412 may be forcibly opened.

In order to prevent this problem, a shutter 450 is installed inside the container body 410. The shutter 450 is disposed on the upper portion of the inlet 412 to protect the clear plate 445 from waste loaded in the chamber 411.

The shutter 450 includes a plurality of shutter bars 451 disposed in parallel with the direction of the rotational central axis of the clear plate 445, and the plurality of shutter bars 451 are connected so as to be able to rotate relative to each other. That is, the shutter 450 may be formed of a chain structure in which a plurality of shutter bars 451 are connected so as to be relatively rotatable to be bent, deformed or folded.

As shown in (a) of FIG. 19, in a state in which the clear plate 445 closes the upper portion of the inlet 412, the shutter 450 extends vertically and faces the clear plate 445. In this case, the shutter 450 may prevent the waste from moving toward the clear plate 445. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a problem in which the clear plate 445 is deformed by the pressure of the waste.

On the other hand, as shown in (b) of Figure 19, when the clear plate 445 is rotated to open the upper portion of the inlet 412 by the pusher 385, a part of the shutter 450 is attached to the clear plate 445 As a result, it is pushed into the chamber 411. As the shutter 450 is bent and deformed by the clear plate 445 as described above, the shutter 450 does not limit the opening operation of the clear plate 445.

The clear plate 445 or the shutter 450 may be changed to various other structures other than the illustrated structure.

Let it. When the door pin 435 enters the insertion groove 432 of the movable door 430, the door pin 435 contacts the slip contact portion 349 of the clamp mechanism 346 and pushes the slip contact portion 349. Thus, the clamp mechanism 346 can be lifted by the door pin 435 and released from the movable door 430. In addition, the movable door 430 is fixed in a state where the entrance 412 is blocked by a door pin 435.

Thereafter, the fixing unit 320 fixes the waste container 400, and the traction unit 315 moves away from the waste container 400, and the waste container 400 moves along the rail 500 to move the compression device 300. ) Can escape.
