Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To store the PET bottles in a stacked condition by protecting the pet bottle by a cylindrical container, moving a rotary cutting blade having a handle on its upper part up and down to be rotated and stopped in the container for cutting the standing PET bottle from four side directions, and washing the inside of the bottle. SOLUTION: A cylindrical container 1 is put on a PET bottle 3 to be cut, an upper handle is used as an operation part, and the handle is pushed downward, so that the electric current flows to a motor, and a side surface of the PET bottle 3 is cut from its four directions by four rotary cutting blades 2 mounted inside of the cylindrical container 1. By placing a force spring 5 in the handle part 4, the rotary cutting blades 2 pushed downward are upwardly returned only by releasing the pushing-down force of the handle, whereby the motor is stopped and the rotation of the rotary cutting blades 2 is stopped. The PET bottles can be cut regardless of dimensions.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is for recovering resources of PET bottles consumed in large amounts as part of environmental protection and for smoothly performing recycling. With the electric rotating cutting blade, it can be opened and disassembled with the rotary cutting blade from the four sides of the PET bottle to make it flat, the contents can be washed, the caps can be removed, and the label can be peeled off at one time.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art If a PET bottle remains in a shape, it is difficult to store, transport, and transport the PET bottle.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the recycling business of resource recovery, local governments take the initiative in keeping up with the disposal of new products that are being developed one after another, and obliging the end user to make various difficult duties. It is the current situation. Even for PET bottles, remove the cap,
The label must be peeled off, the contents must be washed and stored until the date of collection, and where there is a large amount of gathering, processing work requires a great deal of labor and space.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems A plastic bottle with a cutting blade rotated by an electric motor is cut open from four directions from the side when the PET bottle is set down from the top and cut into a low portion. The rotating cutting blade is protected by a large cylindrical container in which the plastic bottle can be inserted, and a handle is attached to the upper part of the container.
Stand up the plastic bottle to be cut, cover the cylindrical container from above and push down the handle of the operation part to work.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. With the cylindrical container as the main body of the instrument, cover the plastic bottle to be cut and use the upper handle as the operating part, and when the handle is lowered and pushed down, electric current flows through the electric motor and the four rotating cutting blades inside the cylindrical shape Open up the sides. By inserting a push-up spring into the handle portion, if the pressing force of the handle is released, the rotary cutting blade pushed down to the lower position returns to the upper position, and the electric motor stops to stop the rotation of the cutting blade. It is possible to cut out large to small plastic bottles.

[0006]

According to the present invention, plastic bottles can be cut open, disassembled, stacked and stored, and the inside can be easily cleaned. Recycling of resource recovery is also processed smoothly, contributing to an increase in the amount of recovery.
