  • Patent number: 11970333
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a dry garbage collection system and method with compressing and packing function, the system includes a central control display, a garbage putting bin, a compression and hot-melting bin, a packing bin, a forwarding bin, an air purification bin, a garbage can and a box; the garbage put in the system is compressed to form a cake shape and then performed a packing, and the garbage bags are hot-melted to shape, and vacuumized during packing process; the weight of the garbage before and after compression is compared to determine whether there is more wet garbage in the input dry garbage, so that an alarm can be sent out when the garbage classification is not standardized. The present disclosure realizes effectively compression and packing of garbage, significantly reduces the volume of garbage, prevents the garbage bin from overfilling, reduces subsequent garbage transfer times and transportation costs.

  • Patent number: 10378426
    Abstract: A system for determining a remaining useful life of a cooling component operatively connected to a prime mover. A controller performs a thermal strain analysis that includes determining the power output of the prime mover based upon sensor signals, determining a temperature output of the prime mover based upon the power output, determining a temperature at each of the plurality of analysis locations based upon the temperature output, determining a temperature difference based upon the temperature at each respective one of the plurality of analysis locations, and determining a thermal strain based upon the temperature difference. The controller repeats the thermal strain analysis at time intervals over a period of time, determines an accumulated damage for the cooling component based upon the thermal strain from each thermal strain analysis, and determines a remaining useful life of the cooling component based upon the material characteristics and the accumulated damage.
