[0023]
The operation of the separate collection container 11 will be described below.
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the separated collection container 11 in the assembled state collects two types of trash while separating the two types of trash by connecting the two trash containers 12 side by side by a connecting member 13. It is configured to be able to. In the sorting / collecting container 11, the housing member 21 and the upper lid member 22 constituting each trash container 12 are vertically connected via a rotating member 37, and the left and right trash containers 12 are connected via the connecting member 13. To the left and right, and are integrated as a whole. For this reason, the sorted collection container 11 does not easily fall down even when the fingers or the like come into contact during use or when it is blown by strong wind.
[0024]
As shown in FIG. 5 (c), in the separation / collection container 11, the left and right garbage containers 12 have the two engaging projections 53 of the connecting member 13 fitted into the opposing locking holes 42 of the upper lid member 22. Are linked by At this time, the entire inner surface of the hanging plate 56 of the connecting member 13 is in contact with the inner surface of the end plate 41b of the upper lid member 22, and the upper end of the outer surface of the side engaging plate 57b of the connecting member 13 is Is in contact with the outer surface of the side wall 34. The lower surface of the lower engagement plate 57 a of the connecting member 13 is in contact with the upper surface of the lower peripheral flange 36 located at the back of the locking hole 42. Further, the retaining ridge 59 of the connecting member 13 is engaged in the retaining hole 43 of the upper lid member 22, and the connecting member 13 is retained and locked from the inside of both locking holes 42. As a result, the upper lid members 22 (garbage containers 12) arranged side by side are connected and fixed stably and firmly via the connecting member 13.
[0025]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, in the separated collection container 11 in the assembled state, the connecting plate 51 of the connecting member 13 is formed on the entire upper surface of the pair of left and right locking frame portions 41 located at the center of the separated collection container 11. To prevent rainwater, dust and the like from entering the locking hole 42 very effectively. Further, at the lower end portions of the left and right locking frame portions 41 located on the left and right sides of the separated collection container 11, a retaining hole 43 is opened outward, so that infiltrated rainwater and the like can be easily discharged. You can do it. Furthermore, since the lower peripheral flange 36 of the upper lid member 22 is fitted over the upper end (upper peripheral flange 23) of the storage member 21 in each trash container 12, the storage member 21 is removed from the gap between the two members 21 and 22. There is no possibility that rainwater or the like will enter the inside and the garbage inside will be flooded.
[0026]
When the garbage temporarily stored in the separated collection container 11 in the assembled state is transferred to another collection container, a garbage collection vehicle, or the like and collected, the left and right connected by the connecting member 13 are used. After the trash containers 12 are separated, the trash contained in each trash container 12 is individually transferred. When the left and right trash containers 12 are separated, the connection member 13 is pulled upward while the finger is hooked in the gripping hole 52a of the connection member 13 located at the center of the sorting and collection container 11. Done.
[0027]
At this time, each of the engagement protrusions 53 at the lower end of the connecting member 13 shown in FIG. 5 (c) is elastically deformed slightly outward at the base end of the hanging plate 56 located at the upper end thereof. The retaining projection 59 at the lower end of the engaging projection 53 is pulled out of the retaining hole 43 of the locking frame 41 to be in the state shown in FIG. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5A, the connecting member 13 is pulled up while the tip of the retaining ridge 59 is in sliding contact with the inner surface of the end plate 41b, and is connected to both upper lid members 22. The connection state with the member 13 is released. Then, by rotating the rotating members 37 before and after each trash container 12 separated by the disconnection upward to release the locked state between the housing member 21 and the upper lid member 22, each trash container 12 By pulling up the housing member 21 of the above and turning it upside down, the garbage stored inside is discharged.
[0028]
Next, the upper lid member 22 is externally fitted to the upper end of the housing member 21 from which the dust has been discharged, and the respective dust containers 12 are assembled and integrated by the rotating member 37. Align each other back and forth and make them adhere. Subsequently, the left and right engaging projections 53 of the connecting member 13 are pushed into a pair of opposed locking holes 42 located at the boundary between the left and right trash containers 12, thereby engaging with the respective locking holes 42. The protrusions 53 are engaged and the trash containers 12 are connected and fixed in a state where they are arranged side by side.
[0029]
At this time, each engagement projection 53 of the connecting member 13 is brought into contact with the inner side surface of the end plate 41b by a retaining ridge 59 provided at the lower end thereof. The base end portion of the hanging plate 56 is slightly elastically deformed outwardly, so that the state shown in FIG. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the engaging projection 53 is formed in the locking hole 42 while the tip of the retaining ridge 59 is slid along the inner surface of the end plate 41b. Push it all the way back. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), the retaining ridge 59 is engaged in the retaining hole 43, and the elastic deformation of the base end of the hanging plate 56 is eliminated. The convex portion 53 is locked in the locking hole 42 (in the vertical direction).
[0030]
On the other hand, the sorting / collecting container 11 is configured such that another trash container 12 can be connected and fixed to one side or both sides thereof via another connecting member 13 in exactly the same manner. Any number of trash containers 12 can be arranged side by side in the horizontal direction according to the application. Further, in the sorting / collecting container 11, the arrangement (arrangement order) of the plurality of trash containers 12 arranged in the horizontal direction can be arbitrarily changed.
[0031]
The effects exerted by the above embodiment will be described below.
The sorting and collecting container 11 of the embodiment includes a plurality of trash containers 12 and a connecting member 13 for connecting the trash containers 12 side by side. Further, the garbage container 12 includes a housing member 21 formed in a rectangular tube shape with a bottom, and an upper lid member 22 provided at an upper end portion of the storage member 21, and dust is disposed on a front surface of the upper lid member 22. A dust insertion hole 35 for insertion is provided. In addition, between the upper lid member 22 and the connecting member 13, the connecting member 13 is engaged with a boundary between the pair of left and right upper lid members 22 arranged adjacent to each other to form the three members 13, 22. Locking means configured to connect the two.
[0032]
For this reason, in the sorting / collecting container 11, since the plurality of trash containers 12 are connected and fixed side by side in a horizontal direction, the trash containers 12 are significantly turned over as compared with the trash container provided in the conventional trash container. It has become difficult. That is, in the sorting / collecting container 11, the area in contact with the ground or the floor increases in proportion to the number of the trash containers 12. Furthermore, since the side portions of the adjacent trash containers 12 are connected to each other at an upper point or at a point substantially at the center by an elastically deformable connecting member 13 so as to be slightly swingable with each other, When the trash container 12 is about to fall, the other trash container 12 acts so as to prevent the fall. In particular, in the sorting / collecting container 11, since the bottom surface of each trash container 12 is formed in a rectangular shape whose left and right side edges are longer than the front and rear end edges, the overturn prevention effect is extremely high. Therefore, in the sorting / collecting container 11, it is extremely difficult to fall, and scattering of dust in the dust container 12 due to falling can be easily and reliably prevented.
[0033]
Further, in the separation / collection container 11, the adjacent trash containers 12 can be separated from each other only by pulling out the connecting member 13 upward, and the connecting member 13 is inserted into the locking holes 42 of the left and right trash containers 12. It is configured such that the two trash containers 12 can be connected and fixed to each other only by using the trash container 12 alone. For this reason, in the separation / collection container 11, the pair of adjacent trash containers 12 can be separated and connected to each other with almost no movement while being placed on the ground or the floor surface. Therefore, in the sorting container 11, unlike the case of the conventional trash box, it is not necessary to attach and detach the connecting belt from the respective engaging projections while lifting the bottom surfaces of the left and right trash box main bodies.
[0034]
Further, in the separation / collection container 11, the connecting member 13 is formed separately from the trash container 12, and the connecting member 13 is significantly lighter than the accommodation member 21, the upper lid member 22, and the like. It is easy to insert and remove. For this reason, in the separation / collection container 11, the connection and separation of the adjacent trash containers 12 can be performed extremely quickly and easily, and the collection of the trash collected in each trash container 12 can be performed extremely quickly and easily. Can be done.
[0035]
The sorting / collecting container 11 is provided with a pair of left and right locking holes 42 opened on the upper surface (upward) on both sides of the upper lid member 22, and inside the locking holes 42 on both sides of the connecting member 13. A pair of left and right engaging projections 53 that are removably inserted are provided. For this reason, in this separation collection container 11, since the locking hole 42 can be immediately seen from the outside, the engaging projection 53 is compared with the case where the locking hole 42 is opened on the lower surface side of the upper lid member 22. Can be easily inserted into the locking hole 42.
[0036]
Further, when separating the adjacent garbage containers 12 in the separation / collection container 11, the weight of both garbage containers 12 is opposite to the direction in which the connecting member 13 is pulled out. The connecting member 13 can be pulled out from the locking hole 42 simply by adding the or without any finger. On the other hand, when the adjacent trash containers 12 are connected to each other, since the pushing direction of the connecting member 13 is the direction in which the two trash containers 12 are least likely to fall, the workability is extremely good.
[0037]
In the separation / collection container 11, the grip portion 52 of the connecting member 13 is disposed at substantially the same height as the dust insertion hole 35. Since the dust insertion hole 35 is normally provided at a height at which dust can be easily inserted, the height of the work for pulling out the connecting member 13 by finger is also easy, and the workability is extremely good. .
[0038]
In the sorting / collecting container 11, tapered side walls 34 are provided on both sides of the upper lid member 22 so as to narrow toward the upper side, and the outer surfaces (tapered surfaces) of the side walls 34 are formed in a U-shaped cross section. The locking frame portion 41 is protruded. With this configuration, a locking hole 42 configured to open upward is formed between the outer surface of the side wall 34 and the inner surface of the locking frame 41. Further, in the sorting / collecting container 11, the engaging protrusion 53 of the connecting member 13 is configured to be inserted into the locking hole 42, and a pair of left and right side surfaces of the engaging protrusion 53 facing each other. Are configured to abut against a pair of inner side surfaces of the locking hole 42 facing each other. For this reason, in this separation collection container 11, since the engagement convex part 53 inserted to the inner part of the locking hole 42 is tightly clamped by a pair of inner surfaces in the locking hole 42, the engagement convex part 53 Is less likely to accidentally fall out of the locking hole 42, and the connecting member 13 can connect and fix the left and right trash containers 12 in a stable state.
[0039]
In this sorting / collecting container 11, a retaining ridge 59 is provided at the lower end of the engaging projection 53, and a retaining ridge 59 is provided at the lower end of the locking frame 41 (the locking hole 42). Is provided with a retaining hole 43 for removably engaging the. For this reason, in the separation / collection container 11, the possibility that the engaging projection 53 unexpectedly comes out of the locking hole 42 is further reduced, and the connecting member 13 connects and fixes the left and right trash containers 12 in a more stable state. can do. Further, when the engaging projection 53 is inserted to the depth of the locking hole 42, the feeling that the retaining ridge 59 is engaged in the retaining hole 43 is transmitted to the finger gripping the connecting member 13. Therefore, the possibility that the engaging projection 53 is pushed more than necessary is reduced, and the damage can be prevented, and workability is extremely good.
[0040]
In the separation / collection container 11, since the grip portion 52 is provided at the center of the connecting member 13, the pull-out and pushing-in operation of the connecting member 13 can be performed extremely easily. Further, since the grip portion 52 is constituted by the grip hole 52a penetrating in a circular shape, the operation of pulling out the connecting member 13 can be performed extremely easily.
[0041]
This embodiment can be embodied with the following modifications.
The connecting member 13 may be made of a hard elastomer.
