  1. Design Partition, Project Plan, Task Assignments and Conceptual Designs September 13, 2006 Team Moondogs Chris Culver Rahul Kirtikar Elias Krauklis Christopher Sampson Michael Widerquest

  2. Design Partition Goal • The goal of this project is to create a canister which allows a person to easily and inexpensively compact trash. • The system shall be manual and not require permanent installation. • Subsystems • Trash Canister, Container, Enclosure, and Compactor

  3. Subsystems • Trash Canister • Responsible for sustaining the unit that holds the trash • Square, circular, and rectangular canisters • Trash Container • The actual unit that holds the trash • Trash bags, separate canisters, and plastic linings • Trash Enclosure • Encloses the trash into the trash canister from the visual public • Hinged lids, removable lids, pull-out systems, and flaps

  4. Subsystems • Trash Compactor • Two major parts of this assembly must include a compaction plate and a device that moves the compaction plate into the trash • A circular or rectangular plate for the compaction surface, as well as a hydraulic lift, a ratchet jack system, a crank system, a scissor jack, and an auger • Movements can come from the top to bottom of the canister, from the bottom to top of the canister, or from the walls of the canister

  6. Project Plan

  7. Foot Pedal Design

  8. Foot Pedal Design • First, compacts the trash by placing the lid on the container • Then, a foot pump motion lifts an inner trash container straight up onto a compacting plate stabilized by ones hand

  9. Advantages / Disadvantages

  10. Grinder Design

  11. Advantages / Disadvantages

  12. Side Trash Compactor

  13. Side Trash Compactor • The trash lid has to be removed to lift the side panel out from in front of the compaction plate • Once the side panel is removed the lid can be replaced and the compaction can begin • The compaction in this design has the ability to be very strong since a foot mechanism or a long hand crank can be placed one foot off the ground • The side panel may not be needed if a trash bag could be used in this design

  14. Advantages / Disadvantages

  15. Auger Design • Auger with grooves reversed to cause compaction instead of extrusion • Trash is placed into canister through lid opening • With an adequate amount of trash the auger is rotated which causes compaction • Spring Loaded plate is then released to allow waste to fall into canister Auger Crank Lid Release Point Canister

  16. Advantages / Disadvantages

  17. Hydraulic Lift and Compaction Design • Hydraulic bottle jack attached to base of outer can • Easily operated by a foot pedal • Capable of applying hundreds of pounds of force • Upper lid is retracted into the trash can to compress the trash as a mechanism of the hydraulic jack. Hydraulic Lift and Compaction Design

  18. Hydraulic Lift and Compaction Design Open compactor view Side view of open compactor

  19. Advantages / Disadvantages

  20. Hydraulic Bottle Jack Design • Inverted hydraulic Bottle Jack attached to inside of lid • Easy to operate by pumping the lever to extend the jack arm • Capable of applying several thousand pounds of force • Easy to retract the arm by a turn of the lever to release hydraulic pressure • Side removal of trash bags Retracted Bottle Jack

  21. Hydraulic Bottle Jack Design Bottle Jack Close-Up Extended Bottle Jack

  22. Advantages / Disadvantages
