Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present disclosure claims the priority to the Chinese patent application with the filing No. 2021112776386, filed on Oct. 29, 2021 with the Chinese Patent Office, and entitled “Maintenance Base Station”, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure pertains to the technical field of refuse processing plant, and particularly relates to maintenance base station.

BACKGROUND ART

Maintenance base station is one of cleaning equipment commonly used in households, the main body thereof comprises a bin body having an opening and a barrel cover capable of blocking or revealing the opening, and the internal of the bin body can accommodate a bag body structure for containing waste. Generally, the barrel cover is pivotally connected to the bin body, and the barrel cover blocks or reveals the opening through the flip relative to the bin body.

In the prior art, the maintenance base station is provided with a pivoting portion and a locking portion that are oppositely arranged along the radial direction thereof, and a part of the pivoting portion is provided on a side margin of the barrel cover, while the other part of the pivoting portion is provided on a side margin of the bin body, and this part of the pivoting portion includes a pivot shaft, and the flip of the barrel cover relative to the bin body is realized by pivoting the barrel cover and the bin body through the pivoting portion. A part of the locking portion is provided on the side margin of the barrel cover, while the other part of the locking portion is provided on the side margin of the bin body; and the barrel cover and the bin body are locked with each other through the locking portion.

However, due to the complex structure of the design of the pivoting portion and the locking portion, corresponding accommodating space has to be designed in the bin body and in the barrel cover, so as to hide the corresponding complex structure in the bin wall of the maintenance base station, which inevitably causes thickening of the bin wall of the maintenance base station and results in excess overall design of the maintenance base station. For example, since the pivot shaft in the pivoting portion has a relatively great volume and the locking portion is supported by the bin wall and has to occupy necessary installation space; a double-layer design is adopted for the bin wall of the bin body of the maintenance base station; in order to accommodate corresponding pivot shaft and locking portion, wherein the space between the double-layer bin wall is used as accommodating space for achieving the purpose of accommodating structural components.

SUMMARY

An object of embodiments of the present disclosure is to provide a maintenance base station, so as to solve the technical problem existing in the prior art that maintenance base stations are complex in structure and have a thickened bin body.

In order to achieve the above object, following technical solution is adopted in the present disclosure: A maintenance base station is provided, comprising a bin body, a rotatable cover, and a revolving shaft, wherein the rotatable cover is in rotatable connection with the bin body via the revolving shaft, the bin body has a debris collection chamber and a opening in communication with the debris collection chamber, and the rotatable cover is configured for blocking or revealing the opening;

partial bin wall of the bin body adjacent to the opening is stretched towards the inner side or the outer side of the bin body, hereby forming an avoidance area, and the revolving shaft is arranged in the avoidance area, such that the revolving shaft and the bin wall are spaced apart from each other along the wall thickness direction of the bin wall, so as to accordingly limit the intervention of the revolving shaft in the wall thickness of the bin wall.

Referring to FIGS. 4 and 10, in a preferred embodiment, the first limiting portion 402 and the second limiting portion 403c are both provided on the revolving shaft holder 40, and the first limiting portion 402 and the second limiting portion 403c are respectively provided on both sides of the revolving shaft 30 along the radial direction of the revolving shaft 30; and the rotatable cover 20 has a first abutting portion 2011a and a second abutting portion 202b, the first abutting portion 2011a and the second abutting portion 202b are respectively provided on both sides of the revolving shaft 30 along the radial direction of the revolving shaft 30, and the first abutting portion 2011a and the second abutting portion 202b respectively match the first limiting portion 402 and the second limiting portion 403c.

Specifically, referring to FIGS. 8 and 11, the rotatable cover 20 includes a cover body portion 201 and a sliding guide portion 202 in connection with the cover body portion 201, the cover body portion 201 is configured for blocking or revealing the opening 104, and the first abutting portion 2011a is provided on the cover body portion 201. The sliding guide portion 202 is provided with a sliding guide surface 202a, and the second abutting portion 202b is provided on the sliding guide surface 202a in a protruding manner. The revolving shaft holder 40 is provided with a guide groove structure 403, and the groove wall of the guide groove structure 403 includes a sliding guide wall 403a and two support walls 403b oppositely arranged on both sides of the sliding guide wall 403a; both shaft ends of the revolving shaft 30 are respectively inserted into the two support walls 403b, and the sliding guide portion 202 is in rotatable connection with the revolving shaft holder 40 via the revolving shaft 30; and both the sliding guide surface 202a and the sliding guide wall 403a take the revolving shaft 30 as center of rotation, and the second limiting portion 403c is concavely arranged on the sliding guide wall 403a.

More specifically; the upper surface of the revolving shaft holder 40 is provided with at least one pair of protrusion structures 404; which protrudes from the upper surface; the above mentioned guide groove structure 403 is formed through the inward depression of the upper surface; the two opposite side surfaces and two support walls 403b of this pair of protrusion structures 404 are respectively in corresponding connection with each other; and both shaft ends of the revolving shaft 30 are respectively inserted into the two opposite side surfaces of this pair of protrusion structures 404.

When the rotatable cover 20 rotates relative to the bin body 10, the sliding guide portion 202 rotates relative to the guide groove structure 403, and the sliding guide surface 202a matches the sliding guide wall 403a and rotates relative to the sliding guide wall 403a. At this moment, the second abutting portion 202b provided on the sliding guide surface 202a can move close to or away from the second limiting portion 403c provided on the sliding guide wall 403a along the rotation direction, and accordingly abuts against the second limiting portion 403c or departs from the second limiting portion 403c. When the second abutting portion 202b abuts against the second limiting portion 403c, the rotatable cover 20 just blocks the opening 104; and when the second abutting portion 202b departs from the second limiting portion 403c along the opposite direction, the rotatable cover 20 just begins to rotate from the position of blocking the opening 104 towards the position of revealing the opening 104. When the first abutting portion 2011a on the rotatable cover 20 abuts against the first limiting portion 402 on the revolving shaft holder 40, the rotatable cover 20 is just located at the maximum angle for opening the opening 104; and when the first abutting portion 2011a departs from the first limiting portion 402 along the opposite direction, the rotatable cover 20 just begins to rotate from the maximum angle for revealing the opening 104 towards the position of blocking the opening 104.

In the above, referring to FIG. 8, the cover body portion 201 includes an outer cover body 2011 and an inner cover body 2012, and the outer cover body 2011 and the inner cover body 2012 are joint together along the thickness direction of the cover body portion 201 and constitute the entity of the cover body portion 201. In the above, the side surface of the outer cover body 2011 away from the inner cover body 2012 is the cover body outer side surface, while the side surface of the inner cover body 2012 away from the outer cover body 2011 is the cover body inner side surface, and the cover body outer side surface and the cover body inner side surface are arranged oppositely along the thickness direction of the cover body portion 201.

The cover body portion 201 further has an connection end 203 and a dosed end 204 that are arranged oppositely along the radial direction thereof, and the connection end 203 is in rotatable connection with bin body 10 via the revolving shaft 30. In the above, the edge of the outer cover body 2011 located at the connection end 203 includes the first abutting portion 2011a mentioned above for abutting against the first limiting portion 402 on the revolving shaft holder 40, so as to limit the maximum angle of the rotatable cover 20 for opening the opening 104. In the above, when the cover body portion 201 is located at the maximum angle for opening the opening 104, the cover body portion 201 is approximately perpendicular to the opening 104, or the included angle between the cover body portion 201 and the holder of the opening 104 is approximately 90 degrees.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, along the direction from the connection end 203 of the cover body portion 201 towards the dosed end 204, the center of gravity of the cover body portion 201 moves dose to the dosed end 204 and away from the connection end 203. In this way, the cover body portion 201 can be driven by utilizing the dead weight of the cover body portion 201, so as to automatically flip from the position of revealing the opening 104 towards the position of blocking the opening 104. Thus, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the design of a locking portion at the dosed end 204 can be cancelled. In the case of canceling the locking portion, relying on the eccentric force produced by center-of-gravity shift, the cover body portion 201 can automatically block the opening 104, hereby achieving a relatively good blocking effect.

In the present embodiment, following mode for realizing the design of the center-of-gravity shift as mentioned above is utilized; In a situation where the entire material of the cover body portion 201 is consistent, the cover body inner side surface moves away from the cover body outer side surface gradually along the direction from the connection end 203 towards the closed end 204. That is to say, along the direction from the connection end 203 towards the closed end 204, the thickness of the cover body portion 201 is gradually increased, and the weight of the cover body portion 201 is gradually increased, thereby realizing the center-of-gravity shift.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the cover body portion 201 is located at the position of blocking the opening 104, the cover body outer side surface is arranged horizontally, while the cover body inner side surface is arranged obliquely; and correspondingly, since the opening 104 and the cover body inner side surface match each other, the opening 104 is arranged obliquely as a whole.

Of course, in the present embodiment, when the cover body portion 201 is located at the position of blocking the opening 104, the cover body outer side surface is arranged obliquely, while the cover body inner side surface is arranged horizontally; and correspondingly, since the opening 104 and the cover body inner side surface match each other, the opening 104 is arranged horizontally as a whole, Compared with the solution in the above paragraph, since the cover body outer side surface is arranged obliquely, when the cover body portion 201 is located at the position of revealing the opening 104, the offset weight of the cover body outer side surface can weaken the driving force for the rotation of the cover body portion 201 towards the position of blocking the opening 104, Thus, it is preferred that the cover body outer side surface is arranged horizontally, while the cover body inner side surface is arranged obliquely.

In other embodiments, the same purpose can be achieved by adding a counterweight structure to the dosed end 204 or using materials with different weights to generate a gravity difference between the connection end 203 and the dosed end 204.

In an embodiment, the opening 104 mentioned above has a first edge 104a and a second edge 104b arranged oppositely to the first edge 104a, a notch 104c is provided in the extension of the first edge 104a towards the direction being dose to or departing from the second edge 104b, and it could be understood as a part opened towards a side edge of the bin body 10 included by the slot of the above avoidance groove structure 101a, the bin body 10 is provided with an avoidance groove structure 101a extending from the notch 104c, and the groove area of the avoidance groove structure 101a includes an avoidance area 101b.

Preferably, the notch 104c is provided in the extension of the first edge 104a towards the direction being dose to the second edge 104b, a sealing ring 2013 is provided on the side of the rotatable cover 20 close to the opening 104, and the sealing ring 2013 encloses the circumference side of the rotatable cover 20. In the present embodiment, it specifically encloses the inner cover body and is dose to the cover body inner side of the inner cover body, and the inner cover body is exposed from the cover body inner side. The sealing ring 2013 cooperates with the edge of the opening 104, and the sealing ring 2013 is provided with a Li-shaped segment 2013a which is in location fit with the notch 104c, in order to realize the peripheral seal of the part of the avoidance groove structure 101a.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the maintenance base station is configured for cooperation with a cleaning robot. The above-mentioned maintenance base station may be a recycling maintenance base station, which is configured for recycling maintenance of waste stored by a cleaning robot, such as debris collection barrel; or a cleaning base station, which is configured for cleaning maintenance of mopping parts or cleaning parts of the cleaning robot; or may also be a maintenance base station that integrates multiple functions such as debris collection maintenance and cleaning maintenance.
