Description

  The present invention relates to a compression packaging apparatus that compresses lightweight wastes such as paper scraps, plastic bottles, cloth scraps, sponge scraps, metal thin plates and the like so as to facilitate post-processing and binds them with a packing string or the like.

  Garbage bins installed in public facilities and fast food stores can only store garbage of the same size as the volume, and if the trash is full and goes outside, the aesthetics will be impaired, so it will not be full regularly. It is necessary to confirm. Also, it is difficult to predict when it will be full, so you need to look around frequently. In order to solve such problems, a trash box with a dust compression function has been devised in which a dust compression means for moving up and down dust suppression means by an X-shaped link mechanism is provided above the inside of a rectangular frame for storing garbage. (Patent Document 1). According to such a trash can with a trash compression function, trash stored at an appropriate timing can be compressed, so that more trash can be stored than before, and the number of trash collection and trash bag replacement is reduced. It becomes possible to make it.

Japanese Patent No. 3667873

  However, since the conventional trash can with the trash compression function cannot be moved, it is not suitable for the purpose of compressing and packing the trash collected from the scattered trash bins. In addition, the conventional trash can with the trash compression function has a structure in which after the trash control means is raised, the trash container containing the compressed trash is pulled out from the frame, and the trash is taken out from the trash container and bound. Since the compressed garbage is restored when the garbage suppression means rises, the garbage compression efficiency is poor, and it is impossible to pack a large amount of garbage at a time.

  The object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the conventional trash bins with a dust compression function, can be easily moved, and is preferably used for compressing and packing garbage collected from scattered trash bins. Another object of the present invention is to provide a compression packing apparatus that can bind compressed garbage easily without restoring it, has good dust compression efficiency, and can pack a large amount of garbage at a time. .

  Among the present inventions, the configuration of the invention described in claim 1 includes a storage portion for storing the object to be processed, a compression means for compressing the object to be processed stored in the storage portion, and a compression. And a packing means for tying the binding string around the outer periphery of the object to be processed, wherein a moving wheel is provided on the bottom surface of the storage portion, and power is supplied to the compression means. There is a battery to be installed.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, the storage portion is a frame having a U-shaped horizontal section in which side plates are vertically provided along the left and right edges of the back plate. And a discharge door having a L-shaped vertical section with a bottom plate vertically provided along the lower end of the front plate, and is attached to be freely openable about an axis along the lower end of the front plate. On the front plate of the door, a slit for inserting the binding string is provided so as to cut vertically, and on the upper side of the slit, there is a closing door that protrudes from the left and right of the lower end of the rectangular door body. The left and right hinge bodies are pivotally attached to the left and right side surfaces of the front plate of the discharge door, and are attached so as to be freely openable about an axis along the lower end.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the invention, the restoration preventing member that suppresses restoration of the compressed object to be processed is interlocked with the opening / closing of the discharge door. It exists in being attached so that it may appear in the frame.

  Since the compression packing apparatus according to claim 1 is provided with a wheel for movement and a battery for supplying power to the compression means, it is possible to remove scattered dust (processed objects). It can be easily moved to the place of occurrence, and can be suitably used for the purpose of compressing and packing the dust collected from the place of occurrence of the waste. In addition, since the garbage can be compressed at the same time while moving, more garbage can be compressed and packed in a short time. Therefore, according to the compression packing apparatus described in claim 1, an efficient garbage disposal system can be constructed.

  According to the compression packing apparatus of the second aspect, it is possible to easily perform the setting operation of the binding string before the dust is thrown in with the discharge door fully opened. In addition, after throwing in the garbage, the throwing door is opened, the binding string is pulled out from behind, and the binding string is introduced into the slit, so that the compressed dust (veil) can be easily bound. Therefore, the bulk density of the bale becomes high and the volume reduction rate due to compression becomes extremely high, so that it is possible to compress and pack very large volumes of garbage at once. Moreover, since the compression packing apparatus described in claim 2 has a structure in which the compression plate is raised to the upper limit position and the binding string is bound, and then the discharge door is opened without internal pressure. The veil can be taken out without worrying about the scattering of compressed garbage.

  Since the compression packing apparatus according to the third aspect can effectively suppress the restoration of the compressed dust by the restoration preventing member, it is possible to compress and pack a very large amount of dust at a time. In addition, since the restoration prevention member moves in and out of the frame in conjunction with the discharge door, the situation is that the compressed dust is restored by forgetting to set the restoration prevention member, or the bale is taken out by forgetting to reset the restoration prevention member. Occasionally, the veil is caught on the restoration preventing member and cannot be taken out smoothly.

  Hereinafter, an example of the compression packing apparatus of this invention is demonstrated in detail based on drawing. 1 to 3 show the front, right side, and plane of the compression packing device, respectively, and FIG. 4 shows the AA line cut surface in FIG. 1 partially omitted.

The drive X link type compression mechanism 3 includes an electric screw cylinder 18, an X-shaped arm 19, and a compression plate 20, and the electric screw cylinder 18 protrudes from the retracted position by supplying power to the electric screw cylinder 18. Thus, by gradually increasing the angle formed by the two arms 19a, 19b constituting the X-type arm 19 and the compression plate 20, the compression plate 20 can be pushed downward while being held horizontally. ing.

  On the other hand, on the back surface of the frame 6, two vertical guide grooves 22 and 22 for inserting the binding string are provided so as to protrude outward (see FIGS. 4 and 5). In addition, the approximate center of each guide groove 22, 22 (a position facing the restoration prevention body 15 installed inside the front plate 8 of the discharge door 7) has a triangular shape for suppressing the restoration of compressed dust. The anti-restoration member 24 is attached so as to be rotatable about the upper end. As shown in FIG. 6, the restoration preventing member 24 is provided with a guide groove 25 bent in a dogleg shape. Further, a long operating rod 26 is installed inside the two guide grooves 22, 22. A support pin 27 protrudes in the horizontal direction at the upper end of the operating rod 26, and a notch 28 is provided at the lower end of the operating rod 26. Such an operating rod 26 has a support pin 27 fitted in the guide groove 25 of the restoration preventing member 24, the upper end is fixed in the guide groove 22 via a spring 29, and the notch 28 is connected to the string clamp 23 of the bottom plate 9 of the discharge door 7. In an engaged state, it is slidable up and down.

  A flat battery base 30 is attached to the rear of the lower end of the frame 6 so as to protrude horizontally, and a storage box 31 having an openable cover is attached to the upper side of the battery base 30. It has been. A battery 5 is installed in the storage box 31. The battery 5 is in a state of being connected to the electric screw cylinder 18 of the X-link type compression mechanism 3 by a lead wire (not shown) disposed on the back surface of the frame 6. A charger 33 is installed on the right side of the storage box 31 and is connected to the battery 5.

  On the other hand, the upper part of the frame 6 is covered with a cover 34, and an operation panel (not shown) on which a push button 35 for operating the X-link type compression mechanism 3 is arranged at the front end of the cover 34. is set up. Further, a string storage box 36 is installed at the rear end of the cover 34, and two string reels 37, 37 around which the binding string 21 is wound are stored in the string storage box 36. Yes.

  Hereinafter, a compression / packaging operation of an object to be processed (trash etc.) using the compression packing apparatus 1 of the present invention will be described.

  When the compression packing apparatus 1 is operated, the operator first pulls the binding string 21 hanging from the string reel 37 forward and downward with the discharge door 7 opened as shown in FIG. Then, the middle portion of the drawn binding string 21 is clamped to the string clamp 23 of the bottom plate 9 of the discharge door 7, and the leading end of the binding string 21 is guided from the slit 14 of the discharge door 7 to the lower end of the discharge door 7 (front plate 8). . Then, in this state, the discharge door 7 is closed (tilt backward with the lower edge as a center). When the discharge door 7 is closed in this manner, the discharge door 7 is locked by engaging the hook-shaped member 40 provided inside the front plate 8 with the frame 6. After closing the discharge door 7, the leading end of the binding string 21 hanging forward from the discharge door 7 is locked to a string hook 38 provided on the front end surface of the bottom plate 39 of the frame 6. The binding string 21 is pulled out and locked to the string clamp 23 and the string hook 38 with respect to the binding strings 21 and 21 wound around the left and right string reels 37 and 37.

  As described above, after the binding strings 21 and 21 are arranged so as to cut the bottom plate 9 of the discharge door 7, dust can be put into the storage unit 2. As shown in FIG. 7, the throwing-in of dust is performed in a state where the closing door 10 is open (a state where the door 10 is opened forward about the lower edge). When the closing door 10 is closed and the push button 35 is pushed after the dust is thrown in, the X-link compression mechanism 3 is activated, and the arm 19a, 19b of the X-type arm 19 is gradually raised by the electric screw cylinder 18, When the compression plate 20 is pushed down, the dust stored in the frame 6 is compressed. When this compression operation is completed, the compression plate 20 rises to the upper limit position and stops. When the compression plate 20 is raised, the compressed dust tries to be restored to its original shape, but the restoration preventing body 15 and the restoration preventing member 24 suppress the restoration of the dust at the front and rear positions of the compressed dust. Therefore, the dust is held in a compressed state. Therefore, a large amount of garbage can be thrown in even after being compressed once.

  In the X-link compression mechanism 3, during the dust compression operation by the compression plate 20, the compression plate 20 descends to the lower limit, detects a lower limit switch (not shown), and raises the compression plate 20 to the upper limit position. It is supposed to let you. If the compression of the dust by the compression plate 20 and the introduction of the dust are repeated several times as described above, the value of the current flowing through the electric screw cylinder 18 exceeds the threshold value, so that the compression plate 20 rises to the upper limit position and stops. . At that time, a packing lamp (not shown) provided on the operation panel of the cover 34 is turned on.

  After the inside of the frame 6 is filled with the compressed dust as described above, the insertion door 10 is opened and the middle portion of the binding string 21 located inside the guide groove 22 on the back surface of the frame 6 is grasped by hand. Then pull it out toward you and cut it with a tool such as a cutter. Thereafter, the front end of the cut binding string 21 is inserted into the slit 14 (the lower part of the reinforcing member 23) of the discharge door 7. Then, the closing door 10 is closed, and the binding string 21 inserted into the slit 14 of the discharge door 7 is clamped to a string clamp 41 provided on the reinforcing member 23. When the push button 35 is pressed in this state, the compression plate 20 descends again and stops at the lower limit position, and the dust is held in a compressed state. After the compression plate 20 has stopped at the lower limit position as described above, the end portion of the binding cord 21 after the cut is removed from the cord clamp 41 and is first locked to the cord hook 38 on the front end surface of the bottom plate 39 of the frame 6. The other end of the binding string 21 that has been removed is removed from the string hook 38 and the ends of the binding string 21 are bound together. The above-described binding string 21 is pulled out, cut, and bound with respect to the binding strings 21 and 21 wound around the left and right string reels 37 and 37. By bundling the bundling cords 21 and 21, the bundling work of the compressed dust (veils) is completed.

  After the bale bundling operation is completed as described above, the compression plate 20 is raised by pushing the push button 35 again. Then, after raising the compression plate 20 to the upper limit position, the handle 12 is grasped and the release lever 13 is pushed to release the lock of the discharge door 7 so that the handle 12 is pulled out to the front side. Fully open (see FIG. 5).

  When fully opening the discharge door, as shown in FIG. 6, the string clamp 23 provided at the tip of the bottom plate 9 is moved along the operating rod 26 as the bottom plate 9 of the discharge door 7 rotates (rotation around the front edge). The notch 28 provided at the lower end of the shaft is pushed upward so that the operating rod 26 rises along the guide groove 22 and pushes up the support pin 27, so that the restoration prevention member is guided by the rise of the support pin 27. 24 rotates and protrudes to the outside of the frame 6 (the state shown in FIG. 6B), and the engagement state between the bail and the restoration preventing member 24 is released. Therefore, the bundled bale can be smoothly led out of the frame 6.

  In addition, when the discharge door 7 is fully opened, the counterspring 17 attached between the discharge door 7 and the bottom plate 39 of the frame 6 can suppress the rotational moment due to the weight of the discharge door 7 and the bail. Therefore, the operator can fully open the discharge door 7 with a slight force and take out the bale.

  Further, the compression packing device 1 can be easily moved to an arbitrary place by using four wheels 4, 4... Fixed to the bottom plate 39 of the frame 6 through a free caster. In addition, the X-link compression mechanism 3 can be operated and moved up and down by the battery 5 charged with an external power source even during movement.

  As described above, the compression packing apparatus 1 is provided with the wheels 4, 4... For movement and a battery for supplying power to the compression means. It can be easily moved to the place where the trash is generated, and can be suitably used for compressing and packing the trash collected from the trash generation place. In addition, since the garbage can be compressed at the same time while moving, more garbage can be compressed and packed in a short time.

  Further, the compression packing device 1 has a discharge door 7 having a L-shaped vertical section attached to a frame 6 having a U-shaped horizontal section so as to be freely opened along the lower edge, and is attached to a front plate 8 of the discharge door 7. Slits 14, 14 are provided, and a throwing-in door 10 for throwing dust is attached in a state where the left and right hinge bodies 45, 45 are pivotally attached to the left and right side surfaces of the front plate 8 so as to be freely opened in one side. Therefore, according to the compression packing device 1, the binding string 21 and 21 can be easily set before the waste is thrown in with the discharge door 7 fully opened. In addition, when the closing door 10 is opened, the positions of the slits 14 and 14 provided on the front plate 8 of the discharging door 7 can be confirmed from above. The binding cords 21 and 21 can be pulled out, and the binding cords 21 and 21 can be easily introduced into the slits 14 and 14, so that compressed dust can be easily bound. Therefore, according to the compression packing device 1, the bulk density of the bale is increased and the volume reduction rate due to the compression is extremely increased, so that it is possible to compress and pack a very large amount of garbage at a time. Moreover, since the compression packing apparatus 1 raises the compression board 20 to an upper limit position and binds the binding strings 21 and 21 and then opens the discharge door 7 without internal pressure, the operator can compress The veil can be taken out without worrying about the scattered garbage.

  Furthermore, since the compression packing apparatus 1 can effectively suppress the restoration of the compressed dust by the restoration prevention body 15 and the restoration prevention member 24, it is possible to compress and pack a very large amount of garbage at a time. In addition, since the anti-restoration member 24 moves in and out of the frame 6 in conjunction with the discharge door 7, forgetting to set the anti-restoration member 24, the situation where the compressed dust is restored or forgetting to reset the anti-restoration member 24 is forgotten. This prevents a situation where the bale is caught on the restoration preventing member 24 and cannot be smoothly taken out when the bale is taken out.

  In addition, the configuration of the compression packaging device of the present invention is not limited to the aspect of the above embodiment, and the configuration of the storage unit, the compression means, the battery, the frame, the discharge door, the input door, the restoration prevention member, etc. It can change suitably in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention.

  For example, the compression means is not limited to the one using the X-type arm in which the two arms are simply assembled in the X-type, and may be changed to one using an expansion / contraction mechanism in which the two X-type arms are connected vertically. Is possible. Moreover, the compression packing apparatus of this invention is not limited to what binds a bale in two right and left places like the said embodiment, The thing which binds a bale only in one place, and binds a bale in three or more places It is also possible to change to. Further, as in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is not limited to one provided with only one storage section, and can be changed to one provided with two or more storage sections.

  Further, the installation position of the battery is not limited to the rear of the frame, but can be changed to another position such as above the cover. In addition, the compression packing apparatus of the present invention is not limited to one that is manually moved, and can be changed to one in which a drive mechanism is provided on a wheel. In the case of adopting such a configuration, a battery that supplies power to the driving device can also be used as a battery that supplies power to the compression means.

  Since the compression packing apparatus of the present invention has excellent effects as described above, it can be suitably used as a compression packing apparatus for garbage generated in public facilities, fast food stores, and the like.
