2. Description of the Related Art The Containers and Packaging Recycling Law, which stipulates the division of roles between local governments and businesses, was promoted in 1997 to promote the reuse (recycling) of containers made of glass or metal (made of iron or aluminum). It went into effect in April. The Containers and Packaging Recycling Law stipulates that the collection and transportation of used containers such as glass bottles, empty cans, and PET bottles are the role of local governments.
Currently, local governments are promoting the separate collection of glass bottles and empty cans. Further, in general, not only containers but also glass products and synthetic resin products are required to be separated and efficiently collected even in a small amount, and to be subjected to processing such as recycling.

In order to promote recycling and perform safe processing, it is necessary to efficiently collect containers such as glass bottles and empty cans, other glass products, and resin products without increasing costs. However, even if each local government separates and collects articles such as glass bottles and empty cans from homes or business establishments, the shapes and materials of the articles vary widely, and the quantity and time of delivery is constant. is not. When the article is a container, the collection efficiency is extremely deteriorated unless the container is reduced in volume. Collecting by truck and sorting by hand requires a lot of manpower and expense, so even if the local government bears the burden, the cost of collection is high at present. In addition, recycled products made of glass bottles, such as heat insulating and soundproofing materials, soil materials, and paints, also have a problem that the supply of the glass bottles as a raw material is unstable and the cost is high.

In addition, the housing 5 can be easily washed by forming the inside and the outside with a non-rust material such as stainless steel and directly applying water.

Although the collecting device 1 and the crusher 20 used in the collecting device 1 are configured as described above, it is apparent that various changes can be made to each mechanism. For example, the crushing chamber 25 has a rotating crushing wheel train 2 on one side.
4 was formed by disposing a receiving plate on the other side, but the other side is also provided with a rotating crushing wheel train that is closer to each other as the distance between them is downward, so that it is tapered. Crushing chamber can be formed. The tapered inclination of the crushing chamber 25 can be arbitrarily set by changing the inclination angle of the receiving plate or the rotating crushing wheel train. Rotating crushing wheel train Rotating crushing wheel 3 of rotating wheel train 24
The number of 1, 33 and the arrangement pattern can also be appropriately changed. Further, the transmission mechanism for driving the rotary crushing wheels 31 and 33 can be a gear transmission mechanism instead of the chain transmission mechanism if care is taken to make the rotation directions uniform. It is also possible to adjust the rotation speed such that the rotation speed increases as the rotating crushing wheel moves downward.

The collection device 1 arranges a color sensor in a path where the crushed material crushed by the crusher 20 falls from the chutes 54 and 55, and separates and stores the crushed material by glass when the crushed material is a piece of glass. It is also possible. In the above embodiment, the articles to be crushed are described as containers such as steel cans, aluminum cans, glass bottles, etc.
Obviously, glass such as test tubes and petri dishes and medical devices made of metal or resin other than glass are included.

The collecting device 1 is of a movable type provided with casters 16 so that it can be installed at a station, a park, or a pick-up location. Needless to say, it is also possible to flexibly move to the time and place to be carried out. Collection device 1
When the vehicle is mounted on a truck or other vehicle, the work of separating and collecting glass bottles and empty cans is performed at the same time by patroling the time when waste is carried out and the collection site, and the glass bottles and empty cans collected in storage containers 9 to 11 Can be transported directly to a recycling plant by a collection vehicle. For this reason, there is no need to use a dedicated collection vehicle that collects and rotates storage containers. In addition, since there is no need to perform the conventional manual separation, the burden of separating and collecting glass bottles and empty cans is greatly increased. And re-commercialization is further promoted.

FIGS. 10 and 11 show another embodiment of the collecting apparatus according to the present invention. That is, FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing an article loading structure in another embodiment of the collecting apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 11 is a sectional view of the article loading structure of the collecting apparatus shown in FIG.

A drop port 75 is formed in the lower part of the charging cylinder 72, that is, at a portion facing the vertical chute 22, for dropping the charged articles into the vertical chute 22. The cover 76 covers the charging cylinder 72 except that a portion corresponding to the elastic plate 74 of the charging cylinder 72 is an opening 77. The cover 76 is preferably made of stainless steel in consideration of dirt washing and rust resistance. A switch 78 for operating the crusher 20 in contact with the charged articles is provided at a lower position above the charging cylinder 72. The configuration and operation of switch 78
Is the same as the switch 19 in FIG.

Since the upper end portion 73 of the charging cylinder 72 is opened obliquely, articles to be crushed need to be individually charged into the charging cylinder 72 from the charging port 73. Therefore,
For example, it is possible to prevent other waste that should not be crushed from being thrown into the crusher without being distinguished from the trash container. The input port 73 is always provided with the elastic plate 74.
And when the article is loaded, the
Elastic plate 7 divided into a number of rubber pieces by pushing it into
4 easily deforms to allow the passage of the articles, so that the collecting device 70 is shielded from the outside by the elastic plate 74, which is advantageous in terms of safety and hygiene. Furthermore, even if the article is rebounded upward when it is crushed by the crusher 20, the article only collides with the charging cylinder 72 and falls back to the crusher 20 again. It is safe because it does not jump out of the 70.
