Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile waste paper collection system that can collect waste paper such as newspapers and magazines even in a place where a power source cannot be secured, and can cope with a system failure.

  In recent years, recycling of used paper such as newspapers and magazines has been widely performed from the viewpoint of environmental protection, and used paper collection services are provided in various places. Usually, the used paper is recovered by exchanging it with a crude product corresponding to its weight. Although weight measurement and provision of crude products are carried out by workers, there is a problem that personnel costs cannot be suppressed because it takes time to measure weight.

  Therefore, as a method for efficiently collecting used paper, a technique for issuing points according to the weight of the used paper is known (see Patent Document 1).

  However, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, a power source for operating the system is required, so that there is a problem that a place where the system can be installed is limited. In addition, when the system breaks down, there is a problem that waste paper cannot be collected. Further, since the used paper is collected for the purpose of protecting the environment, there is a problem that consuming a lot of electric power to collect the used paper is contrary to the purpose of collecting.

  Hereinafter, a mobile waste paper collection system according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an appearance of a mobile waste paper collection system 1 according to this embodiment. The mobile waste paper collection system 1 includes a roof 2, a wall 3, a floor 4, a unit house 6 composed of support parts 5 that support the four corners of the floor 4, and a solar panel that generates power by receiving sunlight. 7, a wind power generator 8 that generates power by receiving wind, a battery 9 that stores power generated by the solar panel 7 and the wind power generator 8, and converts the power stored in the battery 9 from direct current to alternating current An inverter 10 for conversion, a measuring instrument 11 for measuring the weight of waste paper and outputting weight data, a point processing unit 12 for calculating points based on the weight data, and a monitoring camera 13 for monitoring the inside of the unit house 6 , An infrared sensor 14 for detecting infrared rays, and an electronic device 16 for transmitting / receiving data to / from the point processing unit 12 via a wireless signal 15. Here, the electronic device 16 is, for example, a mobile phone, a smartphone, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, or the like.

  The wall 3 is provided with an opening 17 through which a user who converts waste paper into a point enters and exits the unit house 6. The wall 3 is formed of, for example, a transparent acrylic plate so that the inside of the unit house 6 can be seen from the outside. Thereby, the unit house 6 can be daylighted from the outside and has a crime prevention effect. Three solar panels 7 are installed on the top of the roof 2, and the wind power generator 8 is installed on the top of the roof 2 in the same manner as the solar panel 7.

  The battery 9 stores electric power generated by the solar panel 7 and the wind power generator 8. The inverter 10 converts the electric power stored in the battery 9 into an alternating current, and supplies the electric power to the measuring instrument 11, the point processing unit 12, the monitoring camera 13, and the infrared sensor 14. The points calculated by the point processing unit 12 are used as, for example, shopping at supermarkets or shopping malls, company cafeterias, public charges, or transportation fares such as buses and trains. Thereby, the user can raise the motivation which cooperates with collection | recovery of used paper.

  Next, the power generation amount and power consumption in the mobile waste paper collection system 1 will be described. The size and shape of the solar panel 7 is, for example, a rectangle with a length L of 858 mm and a width W of 1657 mm. At this time, the solar panel 7 can output 200 W per sheet, for example. Assuming that the daily sunshine time is 4 hours, the power generation amount of the three solar panels 7 is 2400 Wh per day. The wind power generator 8 includes three fins F, and the length of the fins F is, for example, 650 mm. At this time, the wind power generator 8 can output, for example, 50 W when the wind speed is 5 m / second, and can output 20 W when the wind speed is 4 m / second. Here, when the wind power generator 8 operates at a wind speed of 4 / m for 24 hours, the power generation amount of the wind power generator 8 is 480 Wh per day. It is assumed that the solar panel 7 and the wind power generator 8 consume, for example, 30% of the power generation amount in order to operate the power loss during power generation and the battery 9 and the inverter 10. In this case, the power generation amount in the mobile waste paper collection system 1 is obtained as (2400 Wh + 480 Wh) × 0.7, and is 2016 Wh per day.

  The amount of power consumed in the mobile waste paper collection system 1 varies depending on the specifications of the devices incorporated in the point processing unit 12 and the contents of the resume function preset for the point processing unit 12. Here, for example, the power consumption of the measuring instrument 11 is 0.25 W, the power consumption of the point processing unit 12 is 250 W, the power consumption of the monitoring camera 13 is 1.5 W, and the power consumption of the infrared sensor 14 is 1 W. The devices 11 to 14 operate for 5 hours per day. The standby power when the devices 11 to 14 are not operating is, for example, 15W. At this time, the power consumption in the mobile waste paper collection system 1 is obtained as (0.25 W + 250 W + 1.5 W + 1 W) × 5 hours + 15 W × 19 hours, and is 1548.75 Wh per day. Thereby, the mobile waste paper collection system 1 can operate without being supplied with electric power from the outside.

  Since the mobile waste paper collection system 1 measures the weight of waste paper and calculates points without using fossil fuel and without discharging carbon dioxide, the user's environmental protection awareness can be further enhanced. Since the mobile waste paper collection system 1 includes the wind power generator 8, it can generate power even at night or in the rain. In addition, the user can use the mobile waste paper collection system 1 in a time zone that is convenient for the user without contacting a worker who measures the weight of the waste paper. In addition, the mobile waste paper collection system can be transported and does not require an external power source, and thus is not limited by the installation location. As a result, the mobile waste paper collection system can be installed and rented for a limited time as well as when it is permanently installed. In this way, the mobile waste paper collection system can efficiently collect a lot of waste paper from various people by being installed in various places according to the demands of companies and local governments.

  Next, the configuration of the point processing unit 12 will be described. FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the point processing unit 12. The point processing unit 12 includes a main point processing device 18 that calculates points and a sub-point processing device 19 that also calculates points, and is fixed to the floor 4 with bolts 20. The main point processing device 18 includes a main touch panel 18a touched by a user, a main monitor 18b including the main touch panel 18a, a main connection unit 18c to which the weighing instrument 11, the monitoring camera 13, and the infrared sensor 14 are connected. A main card reader 18d into which a card 21 on which data is magnetically recorded is inserted, a main CPU 18e (main control unit) that controls the entire main point processing device 18, a main storage unit 18f that stores data, and an electronic device 16 and a main communication unit 18g for transmitting and receiving data, and these are connected by a bus 18h.

  The sub point processing device 19 has the same configuration as the main point processing device 18, and includes a sub touch panel 19a, a sub monitor 19b, a sub connection unit 19c, a sub card reader 19d, a sub CPU 19e (sub control unit), A storage unit 19f and a sub-communication unit 19g are provided, and these are connected to the bus 19h. The main communication unit 18g and the sub communication unit 19g are connected by a communication line 22. Here, the communication line 22 is, for example, a LAN cable. For example, a USB terminal, a LAN connector, an HDMI plug, or the like is connected to the main connection unit 18c and the sub connection unit 19c. The main CPU 18e and the sub CPU 19e determine whether the counterpart device is operating by causing the main communication unit 18g and the sub communication unit 19g to transmit and receive data, respectively.

  Here, the mobile waste paper collection system 1 is configured so that the main touch panel 18a, the main connection unit 18c, the main CPU 18e, the main storage unit 18f, the main communication unit 18g, the sub touch panel 19a, and the sub connection while the user can perform the mobile waste paper collection system 1. The unit 19c, the sub CPU 19e, the sub storage unit 19f, and the sub communication unit 19g are operated. The mobile waste paper collecting system 1 is configured to operate the main monitor 18b, the main card reader 18d, the sub monitor 19b, and the sub card reader 19d as necessary.

  As described above, the point processing unit 12 includes the main point processing device 18 and the sub point processing device 19 having the same configuration. Thereby, even if one apparatus breaks down due to vibration or shock, the mobile waste paper collection system 1 can avoid the system from being stopped. Moreover, even if one apparatus breaks down because the mobile waste paper collection system 1 is installed at a high temperature, low temperature, or high humidity location, the mobile waste paper collection system 1 stops the system. It can be avoided.

  Next, the configuration of the mobile waste paper collection system 1 will be described. FIG. 3 shows the configuration of the mobile waste paper collection system 1. The inverter 10 supplies the electric power generated by the solar panel 7 and the wind power generator 8 stored in the battery 9 to the measuring instrument 11, the monitoring camera 13, the infrared sensor 14, and the point processing unit 12. The measuring instrument 11 outputs the measured weight of the used paper as the weight data 23 to the main connection portion 18c and the sub connection portion 19c.

  The monitoring camera 13 outputs a video image of the inside of the unit house 6 as video data 24 to the main connection unit 18c and the sub connection unit 19c. The infrared sensor 14 outputs an infrared detection signal 25 to the main connection unit 18c and the sub connection unit 19c in response to detection of infrared rays. The main touch panel 18a outputs a contact detection signal 26 to the main CPU 18e in response to being touched by the user. The main card reader 18d outputs a card detection signal 27 to the main CPU 18e in response to insertion of the card 21. The sub touch panel 19a outputs a contact detection signal 28 to the sub CPU 19e in response to being touched by the user. The sub card reader 19d outputs a card detection signal 29 to the sub CPU 19e in response to insertion of the card 21.

  The main touch panel 18a displays information related to waste paper weighing operation. The main CPU 18e calculates points based on the weight data 23 output by the measuring instrument 11. The main card reader 18d records the calculated points on the card 21. Thereby, the user can convert the used paper into points easily and simply. The main storage unit 18f and the sub storage unit 19f hold device identification information 18i and device identification information 19i indicating device types, a control program 18j, and a control program 19j, respectively.

  Here, the device identification information 18 i holds information indicating the main point processing device 18, and the device identification information 19 i holds information indicating the sub point processing device 19. The main CPU 18e and the sub CPU 19e can recognize the main point processing device 18 or the sub point processing device 19 by referring to the device identification information 18i and the device identification information 19i. The control program 18j is a program for controlling the entire main point processing device 18, and the control program 19j is a program for controlling the entire subpoint processing device 19.

  When the main point processing device 18 is not operating, the sub touch panel 19a displays information relating to the used paper weighing operation. The sub CPU 19e calculates points based on the weight data 23 output by the measuring instrument 11. The sub card reader 19d records the calculated points on the card 21. Thereby, the user can convert the used paper into points even when the main point processing device 18 is out of order.

  Next, the point calculation process in the mobile waste paper collection system 1 will be described. FIG. 4 shows a flow of point calculation processing. Here, it is assumed that there is no user in the unit house 6, and the main monitor 18b, the main card reader 18d, the sub monitor 19b, and the sub card reader 19d are not activated. When the user enters the unit house 6, the infrared sensor 14 senses infrared rays and outputs an infrared sensing signal 25 to the main connection portion 18c. The main CPU 18e activates the main monitor 18b and the main card reader 18d in response to the input of the infrared detection signal 25 to the main connection unit 18c (S101) (S102). Thereby, the mobile waste paper collection system 1 operates the main monitor 18b and the main card reader 18d only when necessary, so that unnecessary power consumption can be suppressed.

  The main monitor 18b displays a message prompting to insert the card 21 into the main card reader 18d (S103). Accordingly, the user can easily know that the main monitor 18b and the main card reader 18d that are activated are operated. In response to the insertion of the card 21, the main card reader 18d outputs a card detection signal 27 to the main CPU 18e (S104). In response to detecting the card detection signal 27, the main CPU 18e causes the main monitor 18b to display a message prompting to place the used paper on the measuring instrument 11 and measure the weight (S105). Thus, the user can measure the weight of the used paper without forgetting to insert the card 21 into the main card reader 18d.

  The measuring instrument 11 measures the weight of the used paper in response to the used paper being placed (S106), and outputs the weight data 23 to the main connection portion 18c and the sub connection portion 19c (S107). In the sub point processing device 19, the sub CPU 19e calculates points based on the weight data 23 output to the sub connection unit 19c (S108). The sub CPU 19e stores the weight data 23, the calculated points, date and time, etc. in the sub storage unit 19f as a weight measurement history (S109). Thereby, the mobile waste paper collection system 1 can avoid the loss of the weight measurement history even when a failure occurs in the main storage unit 18f.

  Referring to step S110, the main CPU 18e calculates points based on the weight data 23 output to the main connection portion 18c (S110). The main CPU 18e stores the weight data 23, the calculated points, the date and time, etc. in the main storage unit 18f as a weight measurement history (S111). Thereby, even if the information stored in the card 21 is lost, the mobile waste paper collection system 1 can recover the lost information based on the weight measurement history recorded in the main storage unit 18f. it can.

  The main card reader 18d records the calculated points on the card 21 (S112), and then ejects the card 21 (S113). As described above, the mobile waste paper collection system 1 activates the main monitor 18b and the main card reader 18d in response to the infrared detection signal 25 being input to the main connection portion 18c. The main CPU 18 e calculates points based on the weight data 23, and the main card reader 18 d records points on the card 21. Thereby, the user can convert the used paper into points by a simple operation, and the mobile used paper collecting system 1 can collect the used paper efficiently. Furthermore, the mobile waste paper collection system 1 can recover data even when a failure occurs in the main storage unit 18f, the sub storage unit 19f, and the card 21.

  Next, failure detection processing in the main point processing device 18 will be described. FIG. 5 shows a flow of failure detection processing in the main point processing device 18. When the user enters the unit house 6, the infrared sensor 14 senses infrared rays and outputs an infrared sensing signal 25 to the main connection portion 18c. The main CPU 18e activates the main monitor 18b and the main card reader 18d (S202) in response to the infrared detection signal 25 being input to the main connection portion 18c (S201). The main CPU 18e waits for the contact detection signal 26 and the card detection signal 27 to be output after the infrared detection signal 25 is input to the main connection portion 18c until a predetermined time elapses (S203). Here, the predetermined time is, for example, 3 minutes.

  In step S203, when either the contact detection signal 26 or the card detection signal 27 is input (Yes in S203), the main CPU 18e determines that no failure has occurred in the main point processing device 18 and detects a failure. The process ends. on the other hand. In step S203, when neither the contact detection signal 26 nor the card detection signal 27 is input (No in S203), the main CPU 18e may have a failure in the main touch panel 18a or the main card reader 18d. Judge that there is. The main CPU 18e causes the main communication unit 18g to transmit the warning message 30 to the electronic device 16 (S204). Here, the warning message 30 is e-mail, for example, and records that it is transmitted from the main point processing device 18.

  The operator of the electronic device 16 can know that there is a possibility that a failure has occurred in the main touch panel 18a or the main card reader 18d by checking the warning message 30 from the main point processing device 18. Thereby, the operator can arrange the main touch panel 18a and the main card reader 18d as replacement parts at an early stage. Further, the operator can know that there is a possibility that a suspicious person who does not intend to convert the used paper into points or an animal such as a dog or a cat has entered the unit house 6. Since the electronic device 16 has received the warning message 30, the operator confirms that the main communication 18g that transmitted the warning message 30 and the main CPU 18e that controls the main notification unit 18g are operating normally. I can know.

  The operator inputs a video data transmission command 31 for causing the main point processing device 18 to transmit the video data 24 to the electronic device 16 in order to know in detail the situation inside the unit house 6. In response to the input of the video data transmission command 31, the electronic device 16 transmits the video data transmission command 31 to the main communication unit 18g (S205). In response to the main communication unit 18g receiving the video data transmission command 31, the main CPU 18e transmits the video data 24 to the electronic device 16 to the main communication unit 18g (S206).

  The electronic device 16 reproduces the received video data 24 (S207). The operator can easily know whether or not a suspicious person or animal has entered the unit house 6 by checking the video data 24. When the video data 24 indicates that the user is performing some operation on the main touch panel 18a or the main card reader 18d, the operator has a failure in the main touch panel 18a or the main card reader 18d. It can be judged.

  When the operator determines that a failure has occurred in the main touch panel 18a or the main card reader 18d, the operator inputs a shutdown command 32 for shutting down the main point processing device 18 to the electronic device 16. In response to the input of the shutdown command 32, the electronic device 16 transmits the shutdown command 32 to the main communication unit 18g and the sub communication unit 19g (Yes in S208). On the other hand, when the shutdown command 32 is not input to the electronic device 16 within a predetermined time (No in S208), the mobile waste paper collection system 1 ends the failure detection processing in the main point processing device 18. Here, the predetermined time is, for example, 10 minutes.

  Referring to step S209, the main CPU 18e shuts down the main point processing device 18 in response to the main communication unit 18g receiving the shutdown command 32 (S209). Thereby, the mobile waste paper collection system 1 can prevent the user from using the main point processing device 18 in which a failure has occurred.

  With reference to step S210, the sub CPU 19e rewrites the information held in the operation type information 19i in response to the sub communication unit 19g receiving the shutdown command 32 (S210). Here, in the operation type information 19 i, information indicating the sub point processing device 19 is rewritten to information indicating the main point processing device 18. Thereby, the subpoint processing device 19 can operate as the main point processing device 18 thereafter.

  Next, the sub CPU 19e activates the sub touch panel 19a or the sub card reader 19d (S211). Thereby, the operator can quickly know the failure of the main touch panel 18a or the main card reader 18d even at a place far away from the unit house 6. Further, the mobile waste paper collecting system 1 activates the sub touch panel 19a or the sub card reader 19d when a failure occurs in the main touch panel 18a or the main card reader 18d. Thereby, the mobile waste paper collection system 1 can avoid the stop of the system.

  Next, failure detection processing in the subpoint processing device 19 will be described. FIG. 6 shows a flow of failure detection processing in the subpoint processing device 19. When the user enters the unit house 6, the infrared sensor 14 senses infrared rays and outputs an infrared sensing signal 25 to the sub-connection unit 19c. The sub CPU 19e causes the sub communication unit 19g to transmit an operation confirmation signal to the main communication unit 18g in response to the infrared detection signal 25 being input to the sub connection unit 19c (S301). When the main CPU 18e is operating normally, the main communication unit 18g causes the main communication unit 18g to transmit a response signal to the sub communication unit 19g in response to the main communication unit 18g receiving the operation confirmation signal. On the other hand, when a failure occurs in the main CPU 18e or the main communication unit 18g, the response signal is not transmitted to the sub connection unit 19c.

  If the sub-communication unit 19g receives the response signal before the predetermined time elapses (Yes in S303), the sub CPU 19e determines that the main point processing device 18 is operating normally and detects a failure. The process ends. Here, the predetermined time is, for example, 5 seconds. On the other hand, the sub CPU 19e determines that a failure has occurred in the main CPU 18e or the main communication unit 18g when the sub communication unit 19g does not receive a response signal until a predetermined time elapses (No in S303). To do. The sub CPU 19e causes the sub communication unit 19g to transmit the warning message 30 to the electronic device 16 (S304). Here, the warning message 30 is, for example, an electronic mail and records that it is transmitted from the subpoint processing device 19.

  The operator of the electronic device 16 can know that a failure has occurred in the main CPU 18e or the main communication unit 18g by checking the warning message 30 from the subpoint processing device 19. Thereby, the operator can arrange the main CPU 18e and the main communication unit 18g as replacement parts at an early stage. The operator inputs a shutdown command 32 for shutting down the main point processing device 18 to the electronic device 16. In response to the input of the shutdown command 32, the electronic device 16 transmits the shutdown command 32 to the main communication unit 18g and the sub communication unit 19g (S305).

  Here, if a failure has occurred in the main communication unit 18g, the main communication unit 18g cannot receive the shutdown command 32. In addition, when a failure occurs in the main CPU 18e, the main CPU 18e cannot shut down the main point processing device 18. However, the main CPU 18e may not be able to cause the main communication unit 18g to transmit a response signal to the sub communication unit 19g due to a temporary high load. In addition, the main communication unit 18g may not be able to transmit a response signal to the sub communication unit 19g due to a temporary communication failure. Therefore, after determining that a failure has occurred, the electronic device 16 transmits the shutdown command 32 to the main communication unit 18g because the main CPU 18e and the main communication unit 18g may be operating.

  Referring to step S306, the main CPU 18e shuts down the main point processing device 18 in response to the main communication unit 18g receiving the shutdown command 32 (S306). When the main CPU 18e cannot shut down the main point processing device 18, the main touch panel 18a and the main card reader 18d cannot be activated, so that the user does not operate the main point processing device 18.

  Referring to step S307, the sub CPU 19e rewrites the information held in the operation type information 19i in response to the sub communication unit 19g receiving the shutdown command 32 (S307). Here, in the operation type information 19 i, information indicating the sub point processing device 19 is rewritten to information indicating the main point processing device 18. Thereby, the subpoint processing device 19 can operate as the main point processing device 18 thereafter.

  Next, the sub CPU 19e activates the sub touch panel 19a or the sub card reader 19d (S308). Thereby, the operator can quickly know the failure of the main CPU 18e or the main communication unit 18g even at a location far away from the unit house 6. Moreover, the mobile waste paper collection system 1 activates the sub touch panel 19a or the sub card reader 19d when a failure occurs in the main CPU 18e or the main communication unit 18g. Thereby, since the mobile waste paper collection system 1 can avoid the stop of the system, the user can continuously convert the waste paper into points.

  Next, a description will be given of a mobile waste paper collecting system 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Thereby, the operator of the electronic apparatus 16 can manage the mobile waste paper collection unit 33 installed in a far away place. Further, since the operator can efficiently manage the plurality of mobile waste paper collecting units 33 simultaneously, the labor cost for managing the mobile waste paper collecting system 1 can be reduced.
