Description

  The present invention relates to a waste storage box, and more particularly to a waste storage box that accumulates and stores a large number of wastes.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, raw garbage, paper garbage, and the like taken out of a household are put in a garbage bag or the like, temporarily collected as a waste in a predetermined garbage collection site, and then collected by a garbage collector. Here, if waste is placed in the garbage collection site before collection by the garbage collector, the contents of the garbage bag and waste will be removed by dogs, crows, cats, etc. drawn to the smell of raw garbage contained in the waste. It was regarded as a problem that it could be scattered around.

  Therefore, in order to prevent the scattering of the waste and the like, a protective net is generally put on the waste collected in the collection place. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the scattering of the waste by a dog, a crow, or a cat.

  In addition, a waste storage box that is installed in a garbage collection place such as an apartment and can store a plurality of wastes therein is also known. This waste storage box is, for example, provided with a pair of sliding doors that can open and close the open part on the waste storage box main body that forms an open part on the front surface, and a rail part for sliding the sliding door, or It is generally known that a waste container box body having an open portion on the front surface is provided with a double door that can open and close the open portion. By storing waste in these waste storage boxes, it is possible to isolate the waste before being collected by the garbage collector from dogs, crows, cats, and the like.

  The above prior art is publicly implemented, and the applicant has not found a document in which this prior art is stored at the time of filing this application.

  However, if the collected waste is covered with a protective net, if the cat scratches with a nail from the gap between the protective net and the ground and the mesh of the protective net, or the crow bumps with a beak, The surface of the garbage bag was sometimes torn. In addition, when placing additional waste in the collection site after covering the protective net, it was necessary to lift the protective net again and put the waste under the lifted protective net, which was troublesome. Furthermore, as the amount of accumulated waste increases, the waste may protrude from the protective net, and the surrounding aesthetics may be impaired. In this method, waste is placed directly on the ground of the dump, and particularly in the summer, a bad smell is generated from garbage etc. contained in the waste, and the dump is collected even after the waste is collected. Odor sometimes left behind and was regarded as a problem.

  On the other hand, when the waste container is used, it is possible to completely isolate the waste from dogs, cages, cats and the like. However, in the case of the waste storage box provided with the sliding door described above, it may be difficult to open and close because rust is generated on the rail portion on which the sliding door is slid or the rail portion is clogged with dirt. It was.

  Further, in the case of the waste storage box provided with the above-described double doors, it is not necessary to provide the rail portion as described above, and it is not difficult to open and close due to the occurrence of rust. However, the double doors may be opened by being blown by a strong wind when the door is not securely closed, and there is a possibility that a cat or the like may enter the waste container.

  Further, in these waste storage boxes, when a large amount of garbage bags are collected, a part of the collected garbage bags may collapse when the door is opened. In addition, these waste storage boxes are often difficult to see from the outside, and there is a risk of causing illegal dumping or mischief. In addition, these doors are often made of metal and heavy in weight, and it is difficult for women and elderly people to open and close them.

  Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the present invention has as its first object to provide a waste storage box that can be easily opened and closed, and to provide a highly breathable waste storage box. This is the second issue.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the waste storage box of the present invention is “formed at least partly by a mesh member and capable of storing waste inside and communicating with the storage space. A storage box main body having an opening, a door main body that is at least partially formed by a net-like member, and that can close the opening, and a pair of doors that are suspended from mutually opposing edges of the door main body A door portion having a support portion, and a closed state in which the door support portion of the door portion is pivotally supported on inner surface portions of the storage box body facing each other in a rotatable manner, and the opening portion is closed; and the opening portion. And a pair of rotational support portions that displaceably support the door portion in an open state that allows the waste to be dumped into the housing space, the door portion including the closed state and the The rotation during the displacement between the open states When the center of gravity of the door portion is positioned on the front side of the storage box body with respect to the holding portion, the door portion is biased to the closed state by its own weight, and when the center of gravity is positioned on the back side of the storage box body, the open state is set by its own weight. It is comprised from what is characterized by being urged | biased by.

  Here, the net-like member is formed in a net-like shape using a synthetic resin or a wire made of metal or the like, and has air permeability through a plurality of holes.

  Further, the storage box main body has a storage space of a size capable of storing a plurality of wastes collected in the garbage collection place, and an opening of a size communicating with the storage space and capable of dumping waste. Is. Here, at least a part of the storage box body is formed of a net-like member, but in order to maintain the shape of the storage box body, the frame of the storage box body is formed of a hard material such as iron or stainless steel. Is desirable. In addition, since the waste storage box is mainly used in an outdoor garbage collection place, it is preferable to provide a roof with a plate-like member on the upper surface of the storage box body to prevent rainwater from entering the storage space when it rains. It is.

  On the other hand, the door main body has a shape capable of closing the above-mentioned opening, and it is desirable that the skeleton is made of a hard material such as iron or stainless steel like the storage box main body. Furthermore, a door support part connects a door part main body to a storage box main body so that a displacement is possible, for example, metal bar-shaped members, such as iron or stainless steel, etc. are mentioned. Furthermore, a rotation support part is for supporting a door support part on the inner surface of a storage box main body so that rotation is possible.

  Here, the center of gravity of the door portion indicates the center of mass of the door portion. And as above-mentioned, since the door support part is pivotally supported by the rotation support part so that the door part may rotate, the gravity center of a door part displaces between the open state and closed state by rotation. More specifically, when the door portion is in a closed state, the center of gravity is located on the front side of the container body with respect to the rotation support portion, and when the door portion is in an open state, the center of gravity is rotationally supported. It is located in the back side of a storage box main body with respect to a part.

  Therefore, according to the waste storage box of the present invention, the door body can be displaced between a closed state in which the opening of the storage box body is closed and an open state in which the opening is opened. At this time, in order to displace the door portion from the closed state to the open state, the door portion is displaced until the center of gravity of the door portion is located on the back side of the storage box body with respect to the rotation support portion. Then, the door part is urged by its own weight and is displaced to the open state. Conversely, in order to displace the door portion from the open state to the closed state, the door portion is displaced until the center of gravity of the door portion is located on the front side of the storage box body with respect to the rotation support portion. Then, the door part is urged by its own weight and is displaced to the closed state. As a result, it is possible to provide a waste storage box in which the door portion can be easily displaced to an open state or a closed state.

  Moreover, according to the waste storage box of the present invention, at least a part of the waste storage box is formed of a mesh member. As a result, it is possible to provide a waste storage box with high air permeability, and it is possible to delay the progress of decay of raw garbage contained in the waste stored in the storage space.

  Further, the waste storage box of the present invention includes: “the door body is a first door, and a second door that extends from the first door and is curved toward the storage space. It may be further characterized in that it is further configured.

  Here, as described above, when the door portion is in the open state, the center of gravity of the door portion is held by being positioned on the back side of the main body with respect to the rotation support portion. Furthermore, since the rotation support portion is installed on the inner side surface portion of the storage box body, when the door portion is in the above-described open state, a part of the door portion where the center of gravity exists is rotation support in the storage space. It will be in the state accommodated in the main body back side with respect to the part.

  Therefore, according to the waste storage box of the present invention, the door part main body of the door part is formed by the first door part and the second door part curved to the storage space side. Therefore, when the door portion is displaced to the open state, the second door portion curved toward the accommodation space is displaced along a substantially arc-shaped track having the rotation support portion as a fulcrum. At this time, since the second door portion is curved, the distance between the back surface of the storage box body and the rotation support portion (depth) and the height from the rotation support portion to the top surface of the waste storage box are supported by the door. It is possible to set the dimension slightly longer than the portion. As a result, the depth and height of the waste container can be reduced and the whole can be made compact. Moreover, by curving the second door portion, the displacement width of the position of the center of gravity of the door portion with respect to the rotation support portion is reduced, and even the slight opening / closing operation of the door portion urges the open state and the closed state according to its own weight. It becomes possible.

  Further, the waste storage box of the present invention is “the storage box body has a lower end of the opening of 20 cm or more from the floor surface where the waste is stored and 60 cm or less from the installation surface where the storage box body is installed. It is also possible to use a feature that is set to a height of "."

  Here, as described above, the waste storage box in which the opening portion is formed on the front surface may be partly collapsed from the opening portion when stacking the accumulated material stored in the storage space. .

  Therefore, according to the waste storage box of the present invention, the lower end position of the opening is set to a height of 20 cm or more, preferably 30 cm or more from the floor surface of the storage box body in which the waste is stored, The height is set to 60 cm or less, preferably 50 cm or less from the installation surface on which the storage box body is installed. At this time, because the lower end of the opening is set to a height of 20 cm or more from the floor surface of the storage box body, a part of the waste that is stacked and stored near the opening in the storage space collapses. In this case, it is possible to prevent the waste from collapsing from the opening by the front portion of the container main body located at the lower end of the opening. Moreover, when the lower end of the opening is set to a height of 60 cm or less from the installation surface on which the storage box body is installed, the waste is dumped without feeling a burden when the waste is lifted from the opening and dumped. Is possible.

  As an effect of the present invention, the door main body that substantially closes the opening of the storage box main body is displaced by being biased into the open state and the closed state by the dead weight of the door portion, so that the door portion can be easily handled. . Furthermore, since the open state of the door part is held by the weight of the door part, waste can be dumped safely. Moreover, since the closed state of the door part is also held by the weight of the door part, it is possible to prevent the door part from being displaced toward the open state by being hit by a strong wind.

  Further, at least a part of the storage box main body and the door portion are formed of a net-like member, so that the storage space is prevented from being sealed, and rotting of garbage etc. contained in the waste stored in the storage space Can be delayed.

  Hereinafter, a waste storage box 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. Here, FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the waste storage box 1 in the closed state CS, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the waste storage box 1 in the open state OS, and FIG. 4 is a front view showing the configuration of the storage box 1, FIG. 4 is an explanatory view schematically showing a closed state CS of the door portion 3, and FIG. 5 is an explanatory view schematically showing an open state OS of the door portion 3. is there.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the waste storage box 1 of the present embodiment is for temporarily storing the waste 4 in which garbage collected in a garbage collection site is collected in a garbage bag. A storage box body 2 having an opening 6 communicating with a storage space 5 in which a plurality of wastes 4 can be stored; a door 3 capable of closing the opening 6; It is mainly comprised from a pair of rotation support part 7 pivotally supported by this.

  Here, the storage box body 2 will be described in more detail. As shown mainly in FIGS. 1 and 2, the container box body 2 is formed of stainless steel as a raw material, and is a pair of erected on the installation surface F of the waste container box body 1 (see FIG. 3).

Installed between the four floor beams 11 and the pair of front struts 12, which are constructed so as to connect between the support columns 12 and 13 at a position where the height H1 (see FIG. 3) from the installation surface F is 10 cm. Installed so that the height H from the surface F (see Fig. 3) is 40cm. Is mainly composed of a beam portion 16., the skeleton of the housing box body 2 is formed. Further, the roof portion 10 is disposed on the upper portion of the ceiling beam portion 15. The front strut 12 is longer than the rear strut 13 (see FIGS. 1 and 2), and the roof 10 is on the back side of the main body (corresponding to the depth direction in FIG. 3). Slightly inclined. Thereby, even if it is raining, the rainwater which reached the roof part 10 will be drained from the front side of a storage box main body to the back side. That is, with the above-described configuration, the storage box body 2 is formed from a plurality of frames. More specifically, the floor frame body 8a is formed by the four floor beam portions 11, and the back frame body 8b is formed by a pair of the rear column 13, the floor beam portion 11, and the ceiling beam portion 15. A side frame 8c is formed by a part of the rear column 13, the front column 12, the floor beam unit 11, and the ceiling beam unit 15, and the pair of front column 12, beam unit 16, and floor beam unit 11 A front frame 8d is formed by a part. As shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the formed floor frame body 8a, back frame body 8b, side frame body 8c, and front frame body 8d are provided with a reinforcing member 17 that spans the inside of the frame. ing.

  The floor frame body 8a, the back frame body 8b, the side frame body 8c, and the front frame body 8d have mesh-like members 9 formed in a mesh shape (net-like shape) by a wire material made of synthetic resin. It is stretched to cover the surface. The mesh member 9 is sandwiched between the surfaces of the columns 12 and the beams 11 constituting the respective frames 8a and the like and the pressing plate P made of stainless steel, and is fixed by screws V. Thereby, the accommodation space 5 enclosed by the roof part 10, each frame 8a, etc. is created in the accommodation box main body 2. FIG. In addition, the space located on the front surface of the storage box body and above the front frame 8d, in other words, in the space surrounded by a part of the pair of front support columns 12, the beam portion 16, and the ceiling beam portion 15, The net member 9 is not stretched. And the location concerned becomes the opening part 6 at the time of dumping the waste 4 in the storage space 5 in communication with the storage space 5. Here, the front frame body 8d and the mesh member 9 stretched on the front frame body 8d correspond to the front surface of the storage box body 2, and the floor frame body 8a and the mesh member 9 stretched on the floor frame body 8a. Corresponds to the floor of the storage box body 2.

  Next, the door portion 3 includes a first door portion 18 having a rectangular shape and a second door portion 19 that extends from the upper end of the first door portion 18 and is curved in the direction of the accommodation space 5. The door portion main body 20, a pair of door support portions 21 a and 21 b that are suspended from the door portion main body 20, and a grip portion 24 that is installed on the outer surface of the door portion main body 20.

  Here, the door body 20 will be described in more detail. As shown in FIG. 1, the door main body 20 is made of stainless steel and has two rod-like members 25 formed by bending one end, and the upper ends are connected in a state where the two rod-like members 25 are arranged in parallel. A skeleton is formed by the upper beam portion 26a and the lower beam portion 26b connecting the lower ends of the two rod-like members 25. Note that a door reinforcing member 27 having substantially the same shape as the rod-like member 25 is provided between the upper beam portion 26a and the lower beam portion 26b. A mesh member 23 formed of the same material as that of the mesh member 9 is stretched around the skeleton, and is fixed by a pressing plate P and a screw V in the same manner as the storage box body 2.

  Next, the pair of door support portions 21a and 21b will be described in more detail. In addition, a pair of door support parts 21a and 21b comprise the right and left same structure, Here, one door support part 21a and 21b is demonstrated.

  The door support portions 21a and 21b are made of stainless steel and have substantially the same length. The door support portion 21a is suspended from the upper end portion 19a of the second door portion 19, and the door support portion 21b is suspended from the lower end portion of the second door portion 19, that is, the upper end portion 19b of the first door portion 18. . And the door support parts 21a and 21b are mutually connected in the edge part.

  Here, the pair of rotation support portions 7 can rotate the connecting portions of the door support portions 21a and 21b to the facing portions 17a of the reinforcing members 17 installed on the side frame bodies 8c of the storage box body 2 facing each other. (See FIGS. 4 and 5). Thereby, the door support parts 21a and 21b rotate about the rotation support part 7 as a fulcrum, and the door part main body 20 can be displaced with the rotation.

  Next, a procedure for storing the waste 4 in the waste storage box 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. First, a user who uses the waste storage box 1 grips the grip portion 24 installed on the door portion 3 (see FIG. 4) in the closed state CS in which the opening portion 6 of the storage box body 2 is closed, and the door Bounce part 3 upward (see arrow A in FIG. 4). Then, the pair of door support portions 21a and 21b rotate around the rotation support portion 7, and the door portion 3 is displaced from the closed state CS toward the open state OS. Further, the user displaces the door 3 to a position where it opens about 50% with respect to the entire surface of the opening 6 (see the dotted line in FIG. 4). At this time, since the center of gravity G of the door portion 3 is located on the back frame body 8b side with respect to the rotation support portion 7, the door portion 3 is urged by its own weight even when the user releases his / her hand from the grip portion 24. It is naturally bounced up and displaced to the open state OS (see FIG. 5). This eliminates the need for the user to displace the door portion 3 in the closed state CS until the open state OS is reached, thereby reducing the burden on the user.

  And the waste 4 is dumped from the opening part 6 which opened. At this time, the open state OS of the door 3 is urged and held by its own weight. Thereby, the user does not need to support the door part 3 when dumping the waste 4, and can dump safely. Then, after dumping the waste 4, the gripping portion 24 is gripped and pulled downward (see arrow B in FIG. 5), and the door is moved until the center of gravity G is positioned on the opening 6 side with respect to the pair of rotation support portions 7. After the part 3 is displaced, the hand is released from the grip part 24. Then, the door part 3 is urged | biased by dead weight, and is displaced to the obstruction | occlusion state CS. Thereby, the waste 4 is stored in the waste storage box 1. As a result, the waste 4 is isolated from outside dogs, crows, cats, etc. until the waste 4 is collected by the garbage collector, so that the garbage bags are scattered by the dogs, crows, cats, etc. It is possible to prevent.

  Further, the closed state CS of the door portion 3 is urged and held by its own weight. Thereby, the door part 3 is not naturally displaced to an open state by a strong wind or the like. Further, since the storage box body 2 and the door body 20 are formed by stretching the mesh members 9 and 23, air permeability can be secured in the storage space 5, and garbage etc. contained in the waste 4. The progress of corruption can be delayed. Furthermore, the waste storage box 1 can visually recognize the internal storage space 5 from the outside through the mesh members 9 and 23. Thereby, illegal dumping and mischief of the waste 4 can be prevented.

  At this time, the opening 6 included in the storage box body 2 is provided so that the beam 16, that is, the lower end 6 a of the opening 6 has a height H 2 (see FIG. 3) of 30 cm from the floor beam 11. Therefore, the waste 4 stored in the storage space 5 can be prevented from collapsing from the opening 6. In addition, at this time, the height H from the installation surface F of the lower end 6a of the opening 6 is 40 cm, so that the waste 4 can be easily lifted even by a woman, an elderly person, or a short child, It can be dumped. Further, since the second door portion 19 is formed to be curved toward the accommodation space 5, the second door portion 19 is displaced along a substantially arc-shaped track having the rotation support portion 7 as a fulcrum. . Thereby, the depth and height of the storage box body 2 can be designed to be small.

  The present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and as described below, improvements and designs can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It can be changed.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the storage box body 2 and the door body 20 are configured by the skeleton and the mesh members 9 and 23. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is formed by, for example, a plate member. An opening may be provided in a part of the storage box main body or the door main body, and a net member may be stretched over the opening. Even in this case, air permeability is ensured in the storage space, and the progress of decay of garbage etc. contained in the waste can be delayed. Furthermore, although the material made of stainless steel as a skeleton has been presented, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, aluminum or iron may be used.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the beam portion 16 is provided with a height H of 40 cm from the installation surface F of the storage box body 2, that is, a height H2 of 30 cm from the floor beam portion 11, but is limited to this. The lower end position of the opening, that is, the construction position of the beam part is set to a height of 20 cm or more from the floor surface where the waste is accommodated and 60 cm or less from the installation surface where the container box body is installed. It does not matter as long as it is. At this time, when it is important that waste can be easily dumped from the opening, it is preferable to set the lower end position of the opening, that is, the erection position of the beam, to 40 cm or less from the installation surface of the storage box body. When it is important to prevent the waste from collapsing from the opening, it is preferable to set the erection position of the beam part to 40 cm or more from the erection position of the floor frame.

  Furthermore, although the door 3 is displaced to a position where it is opened to about 50% with respect to the entire surface of the opening 6, the load to the open state OS due to its own weight is presented. However, the present invention is limited to this. Rather, for example, the door is displaced to a position where 40% or more and 60% or less, and preferably 45% or more and 55% or less of the entire surface of the opening is opened. It does not matter if this occurs. In addition, for example, when it is important to be able to easily move to the open state when opening and closing the door portion, the door portion is displaced to a position where 30% or more and 40% or less open relative to the entire surface of the opening portion. Any position that urges the opening state by its own weight may be used, and if it is important to facilitate the displacement to the closed state, the positions where 60% or more and 70% or less of the entire opening are opened. It does not matter as long as the urging to the closed state by its own weight occurs by displacing the door part.
