  Next, the operation of the system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the waste box 4a is taken out of the waste collection box 4 when it is full of waste, or at an appropriate number of times, such as once a day. Then, it is transported from the waste box installation place 3 to the waste box collection place 5 by the waste box transport robot 10. In the waste box transport robot 10, as described above, the route from the waste box installation place 3 to the waste box collection place 5 on each floor and the processing work are set by the running route running program and work program. . The waste box transfer robot 10 is made to wait at the waste box collection place 5 in the basement when no transfer work is performed.

  When the waste box 4a is transported by the elevator 7 from the waste box installation place 3 to the waste box collection place 5, the waste box transport robot 10 is placed on and off the elevator rod 7a of the elevator 7 to dispose of the waste box 4a. The box 4a is conveyed. For example, when the waste box 4a is transferred from the waste box installation place 3 provided on the second floor of the building 2 to the waste box collection place 5 on the basement, the transfer robot built in the waste box transfer robot 10 is used. A base station call signal for waiting for the waste box transport robot 10 is transmitted from the wireless device 11 via the wireless network. Based on this fire call signal, the actuator 8b of the adapter 8 operates the push button on the basement of the operation panel 7b, and the elevator car 7a moves to the basement where the waste box transport robot 10 stands by.

  After grasping the waste box 4a, the waste box transfer robot 10 calls from the elevator hall on the second floor via the wireless network from the transfer robot wireless device 11 built in the waste box transfer robot 10. A signal is transmitted. Based on this fire call signal, the push button on the second floor of the operation panel 7b is operated by the actuator 8b of the adapter 8, and the elevator fire 7a moves to the second floor where the waste box transport robot 10 stands by.

  After the waste box transport robot 10 gets into the elevator cage 7a, a floor designation signal representing the basement is wirelessly transmitted from the transport robot radio device 11 to the kite radio device 8a, and the actuator 8b based on the basement designation signal. When the push button on the basement of the operation panel 7b is operated, the elevator car 7a moves to the basement.

  In a waste box collection place 5 formed on the basement, a waste metering management mechanism 30 is installed. Since the weight of the waste box transport robot 10 and the weight of the waste box 4a have been subtracted in advance, the initial value is set to-(minus) in the weighing instrument 32 of the waste weighing management mechanism 30. When the waste box transfer robot 10 gets on the weighing position on the flat plate placed on the weighing instrument 32, the sum of the weights of the waste box transfer robot 10 and the waste box 4a is set to the subtraction setting of the weighing instrument 32. Therefore, the measured value by the measuring instrument 32 is grasped as the waste weight data 23 which is the weight of only the waste. At this time, the IC tag reader 31 reads waste management data 22 such as waste ejector data 22a and waste type data 22b stored in the IC tag 21 attached to the waste box 4a.

  Waste weight data 23 which is the weight of the waste weighed by the weighing device 32 and waste management data 22 read from the IC tag 21 by the IC tag reader 31 are transmitted to the weighing computer 40 by the transmission antenna 33. .

  FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the outline of data processing in the weighing computer 40 according to the present embodiment. As illustrated, when the receiving unit 41 of the weighing computer 40 receives the waste weight data 23 and the waste management data 22, the received data integration unit 42 applies the waste weight data 23 to the waste management data 22. Are correlated and related. That is, the waste weight data 23 is combined for each type of waste of one business operator, and the integrated data 24 is generated.

  The integrated data 24 generated by the above processing is transmitted to the counting computer 50 and the accounting server 60 by the transmission unit 43 of the weighing computer 40.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a data processing routine of the integrated data 24 in the computer 50 for counting. As shown in the figure, when the integrated data 24 is received by the receiving unit 51 of the counting computer 50 (step S101), the waste weight data 23 of the integrated data 24 is obtained for each type of waste of one operator. The data is classified and stored in the storage area of the computer 50 for totalization by the totalization processing unit 52. In the integrated data 24 of this one business operator, the totaling processing unit 52 determines whether or not this data already exists in the storage area of the totaling computer 50 (step S102). If it is determined that the received integrated data 24 of one operator already exists, the existing integrated data 24 is grasped as the previous integrated data 24, and the current integrated data 24 is the later integrated data 24. It is grasped that there is (step S103). In this case, only the waste weight data 23 of the later integrated data 24 is grasped as a new storage item and stored in the storage area of the totaling computer 50 (step S104). Then, first aggregated data 25a is generated in which integrated data 24 storing waste weight data is collected for each type of waste of one business operator (step S105). Thereafter, only the waste weight data 23 is updated as needed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S102 that the previous integrated data 24 does not yet exist for the integrated data 24 of one operator, the current integrated data 24 is grasped as new integrated data 24 (step S106). ). In this case, all the data of the new integrated data 24, that is, the waste management data 22 including the waste discharger data 22a and the waste type data 22b, and the waste weight data 23 are stored in the counting computer 50. The data is newly stored in the area (step S107), and the first total data 25a is generated (step S105). Thereafter, when the integrated data 24 of this one business operator is newly grasped, the same processing as described above is performed, and only the waste weight data 23 is updated as needed.

  And the 1st total data 25a produced | generated by the said process is referred suitably as needed, in order to perform waste discharge management. In addition, it is provided for browsing at the request of the operator. Furthermore, it may be configured to transmit to the operator terminal 80 via a transmission unit (not shown).

  In addition, when a new business operator moves in due to a change of a business operator moving in as a tenant, the name of the new business operator is stored on the waste management data 22 stored in the IC tag 21 of the previous business operator. The waste management data 22 including the waste discharger data 22 a and the waste type data 22 b is overwritten and saved in the IC tag 21 by the IC tag writing unit 53.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a routine for generating the second aggregated data 25b in the accounting server 60. As shown in the figure, when the integrated data 24 is received by the receiving unit 61 of the billing server 60 (step S111), the waste weight data 23 included in the integrated data 24 is obtained for each type of waste of one operator. Then, the data is classified and stored in the storage area of the accounting server 60 by the aggregation processing unit 62. The total processing unit 62 determines whether or not the integrated data 24 of one business operator already exists in the storage area of the billing server 60 (step S112). If it is determined that the received integrated data 24 of one operator already exists, the existing integrated data 24 is grasped as the previous integrated data 24, and the current integrated data 24 is the later integrated data 24. It is grasped that there is (step S113). In this case, only the waste weight data 23 in the later integrated data 24 is grasped as a new storage item and stored in the storage area of the billing server 60 (step S114). Then, second aggregated data 25b in which integrated data 24 storing waste weight data is collected for each type of waste of one business operator is generated (step S115). Thereafter, only the waste weight data 23 is updated as needed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S112 that the previous integrated data 24 does not yet exist for the integrated data 24 of one operator, the current integrated data 24 is grasped as new integrated data 24 (step S116). ). In this case, all of the new integrated data 24, that is, the waste management data 22 including the waste discharger data 22a and the waste type data 22b, and the waste weight data 23 are stored in the storage area of the billing server 60. Is newly stored (step S117), and second aggregated data 25b is generated (step S115). Thereafter, when the integrated data 24 of this one business operator is newly grasped, the same processing as described above is performed, and only the waste weight data 23 is updated as needed.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a charging routine in the charging server 60. As shown in the drawing, the waste weight data 23 included in the second tabulated data 25b of one business operator determines whether or not there is a charged portion by the charging control unit 63a (step S118). If it is determined that there is a charged part, it is determined which part of the waste weight data 23 including that part has been charged and which part has not been charged (step S119). The portion determined to be uncharged is grasped as billing target data (step S120), and the billing control unit 63a refers to the billing database 63b by weight in which the billing amount is set according to the weight of the waste. The amount is calculated (step S121). On the other hand, the portion determined to have been charged in step S119 is grasped as non-chargeable data (step S122).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S118 that there is no charged part in the waste weight data 23 included in the second total data 25b of one business operator, the second total of one business operator is determined. The waste weight data 23 included in the data 25b is grasped as charging object data as a whole (step S123), and charging by weight in which the charging amount is set according to the weight of the waste by the charging control unit 63a. The accounting amount is calculated with reference to the database 63b (step S124).

  When the billing amount is calculated for the portion grasped as the billing target data 26a, the bill creation unit 63c generates a bill for the waste disposal fee for each type of waste of one operator based on the calculation result. Created. Note that the invoice is created in anticipation of timely aggregation of the waste weight data 23 such as daily, monthly, yearly, or the like.

  The invoice created by the above processing is transmitted via the transmission unit 64 to the business operator terminal 80 of the business operator who uses the waste box installation location 3. The invoice may be printed and mailed without being online.

  According to the system 1 having the above configuration, when the waste box transport robot 10 holding the waste box 4a is weighed by the weighing device 32 of the waste weighing management mechanism 30, the IC tag 21 read by the IC tag reader 31 is read. The waste management data 22 and the waste weight data 23 which is the result of weighing by the weighing device 32 are transmitted to the weighing computer 40 by the transmission antenna 33.

  The weighing computer 40 having received these data integrates the waste management data 22 including the waste discharger data 22a and the waste type data 22b and the waste weight data 23 to generate integrated data 24. At the same time, it is transmitted to the totaling computer 50 and the accounting server 60. The counting computer 50 totals the waste weight data 23 to generate the first total data 25a.

  Further, the accounting server 60 generates the second total data 25b based on the waste weight data 23 included in the integrated data 24 received from the weighing computer 40, and executes accounting processing for each business operator. By repeating these processes, the waste weight data 23 included in the second tabulated data 25b is updated for each waste type of each business operator.

  The waste that has been weighed is loaded into a garbage collection vehicle 9 after being loaded at a predetermined location in the waste box collection site 5, or is directly loaded into the garbage collection vehicle 9 and carried out. Also, the waste box 4a that has been emptied is returned to the waste collection box 4 at the waste box installation site 3 where the waste box 4a was unloaded by the waste box transport robot 10. That is, the waste box transport robot 10 transmits a ground floor call signal from the transport robot wireless device 11 built in the waste box transport robot 10 via the wireless network in the basement elevator hall. Based on this fire call signal, the actuator 8b of the adapter 8 operates the push button on the basement of the operation panel 7b, and the elevator car 7a moves to the basement where the waste box transport robot 10 stands by.

  After the waste box transport robot 10 gets into the elevator cage 7a, a floor designating signal indicating the basement is wirelessly transmitted from the transport robot radio device 11 to the kite radio device 8a, for example, a floor designating signal designating the second floor. Based on the above, the push button on the second floor of the operation panel 7b is operated by the actuator 8b, and the elevator car 7a moves to the second floor.

  With the above configuration, it is possible to efficiently grasp and manage the waste discharge status of each business operator before it is collected in the garbage collection vehicle 9, so it is possible to collect and manage business general waste. It can be done easily. In particular, by installing all of the waste weighing management mechanism 30, the weighing computer 40, the counting computer 50, and the billing server 60 in the building 2, the operation of the entire system 1 can be facilitated and the associated operation costs can be reduced. It becomes possible to plan. Further, since the amount of waste discharged by each business operator can be accurately grasped based on the first total data 25a generated by the total computer 50, each clear index for reducing waste can be determined. It is possible to reduce the amount of business-related general waste by providing it to businesses and encouraging them to be aware of waste reduction on a business unit basis.

  In addition, by adopting a system that charges each business operator according to the amount of waste generated, it is possible to further increase awareness of waste reduction, so the objective of reducing business-related general waste is effective. Can be achieved. As a result, it will contribute to environmental management activities such as reduction of management costs by reducing waste and measures against global warming.

  In addition, since the waste box transport robot 10 carries the waste box 4a from the waste box installation place 3 to the waste box collection place 5, it is possible to avoid labor consumption by workers. It becomes possible to improve the overall work efficiency. As a result, it also contributes to cost reduction.

  Further, an IC tag 21 for storing waste management data 22 including updatable waste ejector data 22a and waste type data 22b is attached to the waste box 4a for storing and collecting waste. Since the system 1 is managed based on the waste management data 22, various changes and updates such as the waste discharger and the type of waste are facilitated, and the smooth operation of the system 1 can be executed.

  When the system 1 is introduced, if the facility has a waste box installation place 3 and a waste box collection place 5 in which a separate waste collection box 4 according to each type of waste is installed, the existing facility Can be easily introduced. Even if the facility does not have the waste box installation place 3, it can be introduced if a vacant room can be assigned as the waste box installation place 3.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of invention. For example, in the present embodiment, the waste weighing management mechanism 30 has been described as an example in which the IC tag reader 31, the weighing device 32, and the transmission antenna 33 are integrally formed. However, these are not integrally formed. Each of the systems 1 may be configured as a separate body in accordance with the structure of the building 2 to which the system 1 is applied. In the present embodiment, the operation of the waste discharge management system 1 in the building 2 which is a large office building has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to the large office building, and a large commercial facility in which a plurality of business operators accumulate. It can be applied to any facility where a plurality of business operators are gathered.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, between the waste weighing management mechanism 30 and the weighing computer 40, between the weighing computer 40 and the counting computer 50, and between the weighing computer 40 and the accounting server 60, respectively. Although an example in which the wireless LAN communication network 70 is used for connection has been described, connection may be established by a wired LAN communication network depending on the communication status and building structure of the facility to which the wireless LAN communication network 70 is applied.

  In addition, the weighing device 32 of the waste weighing management mechanism 30 according to the present embodiment has been described that the weights of the waste box transport robot 10 and the waste box 4a are set in advance. The subtraction setting is not performed, and the weights of the waste box transfer robot 10 and the waste box 4a are stored in the weighing computer 40, and the waste box transfer robot 10 and the waste box 4a measured by the measuring device 32 are stored. The weight of the waste box transport robot 10 and the waste box 4a stored in the weighing computer 40 may be subtracted from the weight of the waste to obtain the weight of the waste.
