Description

  The present invention is an inexpensive and simple structure that can accurately separate, for example, a steel can, an aluminum can, and a plastic bottle, and can be installed in a narrow space by reducing its size and weight. It relates to a separate collection box.

  As a steel can and an aluminum can that can be separated with a simple configuration, a guide passage communicating with the inlet is disposed at an inclination, a guide plate is disposed at the lower end of the guide passage, and a cylindrical portion of the guide plate is provided. A magnet is placed inside, and the aluminum can introduced into the inlet is slid down along the guide passage and dropped into the sorting box placed at the lower end, while the steel can introduced into the inlet is slid down along the guide passage. There is one that is sucked by the suction portion of the guide plate disposed at the lower end, circulates on the guide plate, and dropped into the sorting box disposed at the lower end (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  However, the above-described structure has a problem that when a plastic bottle is inserted into the inlet, the plastic bottle cannot be identified and is contained in a separation box together with an aluminum can.

  In order to solve the above problem, a pipe through which an empty container can pass is inclined and a pair of magnetic sensors and metal sensors are arranged at opposite positions of the pipe, and aluminum is disposed on the lower discharge port side of the pipe. The separation plate and the iron separation plate are spaced apart from each other, and a plurality of elastic separation lines are arranged between the separation plates. When an aluminum can passes through the pipe, a metal sensor detects and separates the aluminum separation plate. The plate was rotated by a predetermined angle to form a slanted sliding surface, and the aluminum can was slid along the sliding surface and accommodated in an aluminum can storage box arranged immediately below.

When the steel can passes through the pipe, the magnetic sensor senses it, and the iron sorting plate is rotated by a predetermined angle to form an oblique sliding surface, and the steel can is moved along the sliding surface. It was slid down and stored in an aluminum can storage box placed directly below.
Furthermore, when a plastic bottle or bottle passes through the pipe, the magnetic sensor or metal sensor is not detected, and the aluminum separation plate and the iron separation plate are kept standing, and along the separation line between them. Some lightweight bottles go straight and are housed in the outer plastic bottle storage box, while heavy bottles are spread out from the separation line and dropped from there to be housed in the bottle storage box. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).

  However, the above-mentioned structure can separate various empty containers, but requires arrangement of a magnetic sensor and a metal sensor on the pipe, and the aluminum separation plate and the iron separation plate can be rotated by the sensing operation of the sensor. As a result, the structure is complicated and expensive, and each storage box is placed around the aluminum and iron separation boards and directly under the machine base, so the installation space for the storage box is widened and the equipment is large. There was a problem such as weight increase.

It is sectional drawing which shows the classification situation of the aluminum can in the said 3rd Embodiment.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the illustrated embodiment. In FIGS. 1 to 7, reference numeral 1 denotes a vending machine installed facing a road or a passage, and a plastic bottle 2 containing various beverages in the upper half thereof. The beverage containers of the steel can 3 and the aluminum can 4 are displayed, a coin insertion slot 5 and a bill insertion slot 6 are provided immediately below, and an outlet 7 is provided below.

  A vertically long separation collection box 8 is installed adjacent to the vending machine 1, the separation collection box 8 is formed to be smaller than the vending machine 1, and a separation device 9 is disposed in a substantially upper half of the casing. A plurality of separation containers 10-12 are arranged in the front-rear direction in the lower half, and the separation containers 10-12 can be taken in and out from the front through a door 13 provided at the front of the lower half. Yes.

In this embodiment, as the separation containers 10 to 12, a plurality of separation boxes made of synthetic resin are used, and among these, the separation box 12 of the PET bottle 2 is formed to have a slightly larger volume than the other separation boxes 11 and 12, Separation boxes 10 and 11 for the steel can 3 and the aluminum can 4 are formed in the same volume.
Vinyl bags 14-16, which are lightweight and flexible sorting bags, are arranged in the sorting boxes 10-12, and the upper end edges thereof are appropriately hooked on the sorting boxes 10-12.
In the figure, 17 is a hinge and 18 is a handle.

  The separating device 9 can capture various steel empty containers and slide them downward, and can capture the steel can 3 immediately below the lower end of the introducing cylinder 19 and guide it to the sorting box 10. The guide cylinder 20 and a rotating plate 21 that can be rotated at a fixed angle obliquely below the guide cylinder 20 are configured.

The injection cylinder 19 is formed by bending a synthetic resin pipe, which is a non-metallic member, into a generally heft shape, and an opening at one end thereof is disposed at the upper front of the separation collection box 8 to form an input port 22; The opening at the other end is obliquely cut and arranged obliquely downward.
One end portion of the charging cylinder 19 is arranged so as to be gently inclined in the horizontal or downward direction, and the length thereof is formed to be approximately ½ of the length of the steel can 3 which is a short beverage container or the aluminum can 4. And the sensor 23 which can detect insertion of the said empty containers 2-4 is arrange | positioned on the outer peripheral surface of the one end side.

In the embodiment, the metal sensor 23 capable of detecting the metal empty containers 3 and 4 among the empty containers 2 to 4 is arranged.
In addition, by installing the sensor 23 on the horizontal or gentle slope portion of the charging cylinder 19 where the moving speed of the empty containers 2 to 4 is low, the empty containers 2 to 4 are opposed to the sensor 23 and detected by the sensor 23. Can be performed accurately and precisely.

  The guide tube 20 is disposed directly below the lower end portion of the input tube 19 and directly above the sorting box 10 of the steel can 3 via a bracket (not shown). The guide tube 20 is made of a synthetic resin which is a non-metallic member. A permanent magnet 24 is housed in the guide cylinder 19 so that its magnetic field can act on the peripheral surface of the guide cylinder 20.

In the embodiment, a metal sensor capable of detecting the steel can 3 or the aluminum can 4 is used as the sensor 23 as described above, and when the steel can 3 or the aluminum can 4 is detected, the detection signal is described later. Input to the motor is enabled.
In this case, a sensor that can detect only the aluminum can 4 can be used as the sensor 23, but a photoelectric switch is used instead of the metal sensor, and the steel can 3 and the aluminum can 4 can be used. Furthermore, it is possible to detect the input of the PET bottle 2.

  The rotating plate 21 is disposed so as to face the sliding path of the empty container, and the position thereof is on the extension line of the inner surface of the charging cylinder 19, the upper end of which is separated from the guide cylinder 20 and directly above the sorting box 11. The drive shaft 26 of the motor 25 which is a drive source of the rotating plate 21 is fixed to the end face of the intermediate portion of the rectangular tube having the same width as the length of the guide tube 20. is doing. In this case, it is also possible to use an actuator that makes full use of a solenoid valve instead of the motor 25 as the drive source.

  The motor 25 is installed in the housing via a bracket (not shown), and is driven when a signal is input from the metal sensor 23 when the empty container is inserted, and the rotating plate 21 is rotated upright. The rotating plate 21 is reversely rotated after a lapse of a predetermined time so that the rotating plate 21 can be returned to the original position.

The rotating plate 21 is rotated by a predetermined angle θ by driving the motor 25, waits for the aluminum can 4 that slides down while maintaining its standing position, and comes into contact with the aluminum can 4 and falls to the sorting box 12. After that, it can be rotated back to the original position.
In this case, a reset spring can be used as the resetting means of the rotating plate 21 instead of reversing the motor.

  The separation box 12 of the PET bottle 2 is installed at the innermost part of the separation collection box 8 on the extension line between the lower inner surface of the input cylinder 19 and the rotating plate 21, and the PET bottle 2 is applied to the inner surface of the opening side. It comes in contact with it and is dropped so that it can be stored inside.

The empty container separation / collection box configured in this manner has the separation device 9 disposed in the upper half of the housing and the predetermined large separation boxes 10 to 12 disposed in a line in the front and rear in the lower half.
Among them, the sorting device 9 is configured by arranging the charging cylinder 19, the guide cylinder 20, and the rotating plate 21 that face the oblique movement path of the empty containers 2 to 4, all of which are simple in configuration. Thus, since the size and weight are small, the size and weight of the sorting device 9 can be reduced.

Further, the sensor 23 for detecting the insertion of the empty containers 2 to 4 is installed at the horizontal or slant portion of one end of the input cylinder 19 where the moving speed of the empty containers 2 to 4 is low so The detection is facilitated so that the detection can be performed accurately and precisely.
When a metal sensor is used as the sensor 23 as in the embodiment, energization of the detection coil is required and power is also supplied to the motor 25. However, they are all small and the drive frequency is generally low. Therefore, the power consumption can be reduced and the maintenance cost can be suppressed.

The separation boxes 10 to 12 are made of synthetic resin, are inexpensive and lightweight, and are arranged in a line in the front-rear direction.
At that time, the separation box 10 of the steel can 3 is arranged at the foremost part in the housing, the separation box 12 of the PET bottle 2 is arranged at the innermost part, and the separation box 11 of the aluminum can 4 is arranged between them. To do.

This situation is as shown in FIG. 2, where the guide cylinder 20 and the insertion cylinder 19 are located immediately above the sorting box 10, the rotating plate 21 is located immediately above the sorting box 11, and the empty space is located above the sorting box 12. Is formed.
If the separation boxes 10 to 12 are replaced with a vinyl bag as will be described later, the separation boxes 10 to 12 can be omitted, so that the cost can be reduced and rational use of the lower space in the housing can be achieved. .

Therefore, when the separation collection box 8 is used, power is turned on to the metal sensor 23 and the motor 25, and the empty container is put on standby.
In the standby state, the metal sensor 23 and the motor 25 are placed in the OFF state, and the rotating plate 21 is located at the original position and placed on the sliding path of the empty container.

  Under such circumstances, for example, when an empty steel can 3 is inserted into the insertion port 22, the tip of the can 3 moves to one end of the insertion cylinder 19, and the peripheral surface thereof is a metal sensor 23. The metal sensor 23 moves in a magnetic field of a detection coil (not shown) of the metal sensor 23, and the metal sensor 23 detects that the steel can 3 is made of metal based on the change in iron loss.

For this reason, the detection signal of the metal sensor 23 is input to the motor 25, the motor 25 is driven, and the rotating plate 21 fixed to the drive shaft 25 is erected, and a certain time elapses after erecting. At this point, the motor 25 is reversed, and the rotating plate 21 is moved back to the original position.
In this case, the rotation of the rotating plate 21 is performed away from the guide tube 20, so that the separation and collection of the steel can 3 is not affected.

That is, after passing through the position of the metal sensor 23, the steel can 3 is rotated downward by its own weight, slides down on the inner surface of the charging cylinder 19, and moves directly above the guide cylinder 20.
A magnetic field is formed by a built-in magnet 24 on the peripheral surface of the guide cylinder 20, and the steel can 3 is attracted to the magnetic field, and its own weight acts on the magnetic field to rotate the peripheral surface of the guide cylinder 20. .
Then, when the steel can 3 has made a substantially half turn around the circumferential surface of the guide tube 20, its own weight overcomes the magnetic field and falls into the sorting box 10. This situation is as shown in FIG.

  Next, for example, when an empty aluminum can 4 is inserted into the insertion port 22, the aluminum can 4 is detected by the metal sensor 23 as described above, and the detection signal is input to the motor 25 for the motor. 25 is driven, and the rotation plate 21 fixed to the drive shaft 25 stands up and rotates, and waits for the aluminum can 4 just before sliding down.

After passing through the position of the metal sensor 23, the aluminum can 4 rotates downward due to its own weight, slides down the inner surface of the charging cylinder 19, and moves directly above the guide cylinder 20.
The aluminum can 4 passes immediately above the guide cylinder 20 without being affected by the magnetic field, falls in the same direction as the sliding direction in the empty space between the guide cylinder 20 and the rotating plate 21, and rotates upright. It contacts the lower rotating plate 21 and falls to the sorting box 11. This situation is as shown in FIG.
Thereafter, the motor 25 is reversely rotated, and the rotating plate 21 is moved back to the original position.

Next, for example, when an empty plastic bottle 2 is introduced into the insertion port 22, the plastic bottle 2 is not detected by the metal sensor 23, but slides down on the inner surface of the insertion cylinder 19 and moves directly above the guide cylinder 20.
Since the motor 25 does not receive a signal from the metal sensor 23, the motor 25 stops driving and holds the rotating plate 21 in the original inclined state.

  For this reason, the PET bottle 2 passes through the guide cylinder 20 without being affected by the magnetic field, slides on the rotating plate 21 located at the original position, and comes into contact with the upper inner surface of the sorting box 12 and falls. . This situation is as shown in FIG.

The empty containers 2 to 4 thus charged into the insertion port 22 are sorted and stored in the sorting boxes 10 to 12, respectively.
And when the required amount of empty containers 2 to 4 is accommodated in the respective separation boxes 10 to 12, the door 13 is opened, the separation boxes 10 to 12 are sequentially drawn forward, and the vinyl bags 14 to 16 are pulled up, The plastic bottle 2, the steel can 3, and the aluminum can 4 are collected for each bag.

  After the collection, if a new vinyl bag 14-16 is set in the separation box 10-12, the separation box 10-12 is moved to a fixed position in the housing, and the door 13 is closed, the separation collection box 8 Can be used.

8 to 13 show another embodiment of the present invention, and the same reference numerals are used for the components corresponding to the above-described embodiment. Among these, FIG. 8 thru | or FIG. 10 has shown the 2nd Embodiment of this invention.
In this embodiment, only the vinyl bags 14 to 16 are used as the separation containers instead of the separation boxes 10 to 12, and a plurality of hook portions 27 are formed on both sides in the casing of the separation collection box 8. A pair of support rods 28 are fixed, and a plurality of latch rods 29 are releasably suspended between the support rods 28 and 28.

Then, a desired-sized vinyl bag 14 to 16 is accommodated in a compartment partitioned by the pair of support rods 28 and the latch rods 29, and the opening edge thereof is supported by the support rod 28 or the hook via the clip 30. It is hung on the stop 29.
By doing in this way, the cost reduction and the convenience of handling of the separation containers 10 to 12 can be improved, and the separation containers 10 to 12 having a desired size can be easily and arbitrarily obtained, and can be easily taken in and out. .

  FIG. 11 to FIG. 13 show a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, instead of arranging three sorting boxes 10 to 12 in a line in the casing of the sorting collection box 8, the steel can 3 is arranged. And the two separation boxes 10 and 11 of the aluminum can 4 are arranged immediately below the separation device 9, and the separation box 12 of the PET bottle 2 is formed to have a larger volume than the separation boxes 10 and 11. , 11 is arranged on the side to increase the collection amount of the PET bottle 2.

Then, a deflection plate 31 is erected on the upper surface of the rotating plate 21, and the sorting box 12 is disposed on the lower end side of the deflection plate 31. Therefore, the depth dimension of the separation collection box 8 is shortened by the movement of the separation box 12, and the width in the left-right direction is slightly wider than the separation box 12.
Therefore, it is suitable for installation in a space where a sufficient depth for installation of the separation collection box 8 cannot be obtained.

The separation recovery of the steel can 3 and the aluminum can 4 in this embodiment is performed in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment.
Next, when the plastic bottle 2 is separated and collected, the plastic bottle 2 is not detected by the metal sensor 23 and slides down from the charging cylinder 19 directly above the guide cylinder 20. Since the motor 25 stops driving because there is no signal input from the metal sensor 23, the rotating plate 21 is placed in the original inclined state.

  For this reason, the PET bottle 2 passes directly above the guide tube 20 without being affected by the magnetic field, slides down on the rotating plate 21 and comes into contact with the deflecting plate 31, and moves along the deflecting plate 31. Slide down to the side of 21 and drop into the sorting box 12. This situation is as shown in FIGS.

As described above, in the above embodiment, when the path of the plastic bottle 2 is bent and dropped into the sorting box 12 directly below the side, it slides down on the rotating plate 21 from the guide tube 19 and abuts on the deflecting plate 31 to deflect it. ing.
Therefore, the height of the housing can be suppressed and the size of the casing can be reduced, and the shaking of the plastic bottle 2 can be suppressed and stably supplied to the sorting box 12 as compared with the conventional case where the casing is dropped and bent. Can be accommodated.

  The empty container separation / collection box of the present invention is small and lightweight with an inexpensive and simple configuration so that it can be installed in a narrow space. For example, a separate collection box for steel cans, aluminum cans and PET bottles. It is suitable for.
