In FIG. 1, X indicates a network.

In such technical means, the waste management system includes, for example, a management shredder as the management target 1, but is not limited to this, and includes a collection box, a dust box, and the like. An aggregate such as a plurality of shredders may be handled as the management object 1. Further, the object to be discarded is not limited to shredded shredded waste, but widely includes documents to be discarded.
Here, the basic components of the waste management system include the management object 1, the individual terminal 10, and the management device 20, and the management object 1 is a waste container, object recognition means 3, and waste amount recognition not shown. Means 4, communication means 5, and communication control means 6 are provided.
In this example, the waste container widely includes waste receptacles and waste bins that contain waste, and the form thereof is not limited to a box shape or a bag shape, and is not limited to the one installed in the management object 1, The aspect which is the target object 1 itself may be sufficient.
Moreover, the object recognition means 3 should just recognize the object information (The management number etc. which were attached | subjected to the management target object 1) for specifying the management target object 1. FIG.
Furthermore, if the waste amount recognition means 4 recognizes the capacity | capacitance and weight of waste, various detectors and measuring devices are included widely.
Furthermore, the individual terminal 10 is provided for each collection site, and may communicate directly with the management site or may communicate indirectly with an intermediate server. In this example, the recovery base is either a mobile type or a fixed type, and it is assumed that the mobile type recovery base has a portable individual terminal 10 for example, and the fixed type recovery base is a stationary type. The individual terminal 10 is assumed and an instruction is given to the collection worker W belonging to the collection base.
Moreover, the acquisition means 12 should just acquire the collection | recovery operation | work information (the management target object 1 which should be collect | recovered, the amount of scraps to collect | recover, the carrying-in destination of the collect | recovered scraps), and the collection | recovery worker W is this What is necessary is just to work according to the collection work information.

The management apparatus 20 needs to be able to communicate with each management object 1 and each individual terminal 10, and further includes a collection unit 22, a determination unit 23, a selection unit 24, and a creation unit 25. Just do it.
Here, the collecting means 22 may be any means that collects waste information from the target information and waste amount information transmitted from the management target 1.
Further, the determination unit 23 may determine whether or not it is necessary to recover the waste stored in the management target 1 based on the waste information from the collection unit 22. You can select as appropriate.
Further, since the selection means 24 needs to visit the collection worker W to the installation location of the management target object 1 determined that the collection means 23 needs to collect the waste, the collection worker W selects the management target object. It is preferable to select the recovery base to which the recovery operator W belongs from the viewpoint of time efficiency in consideration of the time to reach 1.
Furthermore, the creation means 25 only needs to create waste collection work information for instructing the collection worker W, and the collection worker W goes to the location of the user of the management target 1 to collect the waste. It is sufficient to create at least information necessary for implementing the above.

Here, it is as follows when the aspect which applied the waste management system to the management object shredder as the management object 1 is illustrated.
That is, the shredder shredder management system shreds the shredded object S to be discarded, and a plurality of managed shredders 1 (1a to 1c in this example) that can accommodate shredded waste, and each management target. Each of the management target shredders includes an individual terminal 10 provided individually at a collection base for collecting shredded waste accommodated in the shredder 1, and a management device 20 provided at the management base for managing the management target shredder 1 and the recovery base. 1 is a shredding mechanism 2 for shredding the shredded object S to be discarded, a waste container (not shown) for housing shredded waste shredded by the shredding mechanism 2, and the management target Communication is possible between the object recognition means 3 for recognizing machine information for specifying the shredder 1, the waste amount recognition means 4 for recognizing shredded waste amount information stored in the waste container, and the management base.

Communication means 21, collection means 22 for collecting shredder information generated from each managed shredder 1 based on the machine body information and shredder amount information transmitted from each managed shredder 1, and collecting means Based on the shredder information collected at 22, the discriminating means 23 for discriminating the necessity of collecting shredded waste accommodated in each managed shredder 1, and any one of the managed shredders 1 at the discriminating means 23 Under conditions where it is determined that shredded waste needs to be collected, selection means 24 for selecting a collection base suitable for the shredder 1 to be managed and individual terminals provided at the collection base selected by the selection means 24 And creating means 25 for creating shredded waste collection work information to be transmitted to the machine 10.

In this kind of shredder shredder management system, communication with the management device 20 is possible, and shredder information (shredding size, shredder amount stored in the management shredder 1 at the management base). Etc.), at least the machine information and shredder amount information may be provided.
Moreover, the object recognition means 3 should just recognize the information which can grasp | ascertain shredding performance, such as a model name and a serial number, as body information. The machine body information is written in the memory 8 so as to be readable.
Furthermore, as the scrap amount recognizing means 4, as long as it recognizes the shredded scrap amount accommodated in the scrap container, a mode using a detector or a measuring instrument capable of directly measuring the shredded scrap amount may be used. Alternatively, an aspect in which the amount of shredded waste can be indirectly measured (for example, an aspect in which the amount of shredded waste is determined from the operating state of the shredding mechanism) may be used.

Next, a typical aspect or a preferable aspect of the waste management system according to the present embodiment will be described.
First, as a preferable aspect of the management target object 1, the waste amount communication device 16 capable of communicating waste amount information stored in the waste container with the management device 20 is mounted, and the waste amount communication device 16 is The thing including the waste amount recognition means 4, the communication means 5, and the communication control means 6 of the management target 1 is mentioned. In this example, the waste amount communication device 16 is externally attached to the management object 1, and the waste amount stored in the waste container of the management object 1 can be communicated in the waste management system.
Moreover, as a typical aspect of the waste amount recognizing means 4, there is an aspect that is a detector that optically detects the capacity of the waste accommodated in the waste container. This example optically detects the capacity of the waste housed in the waste container, and is an aspect capable of dealing with heavy waste with a simple configuration. Here, as a detector, a photocoupler or the like may be appropriately selected, and it is sufficient that at least a full state of dust can be detected. The number of detectors is not limited to one, and a plurality of detectors may be used.
Furthermore, as a preferable aspect in the case of adopting an optical detector as the waste amount recognizing means 4, the waste detector is installed above the planned full position of the waste accommodated in the waste container, and emits light to the surface portion of the waste. What irradiates and detects the amount of refuse with the output level of the reflected light from the surface part of waste is mentioned. In this example, by changing the output level of the optical detector according to the distance between the optical detector and the surface of the waste, it is possible to grasp the change in the amount of waste over time continuously or periodically. is there.

Further, as a typical aspect of the scrap amount recognition means 4 of the shredder shredder management system, there is an aspect constituted by an operation state recognition means that recognizes the operation state of the shredding mechanism 2 in an updatable manner. The driving condition recognition means here recognizes information necessary for collecting shredded waste information, such as cumulative shredding time (normal shredding time + overload shredding time) as the driving situation. That's fine. In this example, the collecting means 22 may be any device that collects shredded waste information from the machine information and the operation status transmitted from the managed shredder 1, and for example, the shredding size is accumulated from the machine information from the operation status. What is necessary is just to collect shredding time and to collect the shredder amount produced | generated from both.
In particular, as a preferable aspect of the driving status recognition means, the cumulative shredding time by the shredding mechanism 2 of the shredder 1 to be managed and the driving load of the shredding mechanism 2 can be measured, and the shredder amount can be collected as shredding waste information. The aspect which is made is mentioned. As in this example, in the aspect of simultaneously chopping the shredded object S in units of multiple sheets, the cumulative shredding amount can be reduced by considering the shredding load of the shredding mechanism 2 in addition to the cumulative shredding time. It is possible to determine accurately. Here, in order to measure the shredding load of the shredding mechanism 2, for example, the drive current of the drive source of the shredding mechanism 2 is monitored, and whether the shredding load is a normal load according to the change of the drive current. The degree of shredding load may be determined by judging whether the load is high or by detecting the thickness of the shredded object S.

Moreover, as a preferable aspect of the individual terminal 10, when the collection operation of the waste stored in the corresponding management target object 1 is completed based on the collection operation information for the waste acquired by the acquisition unit 12, On the other hand, there may be mentioned an embodiment having a notification means (not shown) for notifying the collection completion. By providing such a notification means, the management device 20 can grasp the progress of the work situation by the collection worker W.
Furthermore, as a preferable aspect of the management device 20, the waste information collected by the collecting means 22 is used as waste collection work information, and then the waste information of the corresponding management object 1 collected by the collecting means 22 is used. The mode which resets is mentioned. In this example, the waste information collected by the collection means 22 is reset after being used for the waste collection operation, and then moves to the next cycle. Thereby, the collection | recovery operation | work of waste is performed without waste based on appropriate waste information.
Moreover, as a preferable aspect of the selection means 24, the individual terminal 10 is equipped with a GPS function, and the selection means 24 is located near the management target 1 that is a collection destination by using the GPS function. Or the thing which makes a selection candidate a some collection base is mentioned. In this example, the selection means 24 uses the GPS function of the individual terminal 10 (including both mobile and fixed types), grasps the current position of the collection base from the position of the individual terminal 10, and is the collection destination. One or a plurality of collection bases close to the management target 1 are selected as selection candidates.
Furthermore, as a system that can also handle the collection work request from the user, the determination unit 23 of the management device 20 uses the collection work request from the user of each managed shredder 1 as an exceptional trigger, It is determined that it is necessary to collect waste. For this reason, this example is not limited to the determination on the management base side, but can cope with the waste collection work request from the user side of each management target 1, which is convenient for the user.

Moreover, in the shredder shredder management system, as a system suitable for disposal of important documents, the shredded material S to be discarded is an important document in which metadata that is a summary of document features is written. The target shredder 1 has a reading means 7 that can read metadata of the shredded object S when shredding the shredded object S that is an important document, and a memory 8 that records various information. The memory 8 includes an aspect in which at least metadata is recorded as discard information as an important document that is discarded.
In the My Number system that has been in effect in recent years, when shredding My Number documents, it is not enough to simply discard them, and it is necessary to keep a record that the documents have been shredded (Cabinet Office Guidelines). Here, the contents related to discarding deletion include recording the document name, the number of copies, the name of the person in charge, the discarding means, etc. of the discarded specific personal information.

Therefore, metadata (summary of document features such as titles, number of sheets, etc.) is written in advance for this kind of important document or separately, and when it is shredded and discarded by the managed shredder 1, it is read by a reading means 7 such as a scanner. It is sufficient to read the metadata and leave it as a record.
As a method of writing the metadata in advance, the metadata may be printed and copied together with other information when printing and copying with a printer or a copier. In this case, the metadata may be created so as to be visible on the document, or may be formed so as to be difficult to see on the document. In either case, the reading means of the managed shredder 1 is used. 7 can read the metadata. However, it is necessary to be careful not to write My Number or transfer it to the discarded contents.
Regarding the handling of the recorded metadata, since the user reads it with the reading means 7 of the managed shredder 1, it can be stored on the user side, but is not limited to this, and is not limited to the managed shredder 1. Further, the management apparatus 20 may manage the metadata, and further, add the printer or copier of the document creation source 15 to the management target shredder 1 in the management apparatus 20 and discard the metadata to the document creation source 15. May be transmitted and managed as being discarded by the document creator 15.

Further, as another aspect of the system suitable for discarding important documents, the managed shredder 1 further includes a person identification device 9 for identifying a person in charge of disposal of the shredded object S, and a memory 8. For the shredded object S as the important document that has been discarded, the person in charge identified by the person-in-charge identifying device 9 and all of the body information recognized by the body information recognizing means 3 or Some of them are recorded as discard information together with metadata.
In this example, when the important document is shredded and discarded, in addition to the metadata of the important document, the person in charge of the disposal process and all or part of the machine information of the managed shredder 1 are recorded as records. Here, the person-in-charge specifying device 9 includes a wide range of devices that can specify a person in charge by entering / exiting card, identification card, fingerprint authentication, face authentication, personal ID number input, or the like.
Furthermore, as another aspect of the system suitable for discarding important documents, when the managed shredder 1 shreds and discards important documents, the discard information including the metadata recorded in the memory 8 using the communication means 5 is used. Transmission to the management apparatus 20 side is mentioned.
In this example, when the important document is shredded and discarded, discard information regarding the important document is left in both the management target shredder 1 and the management device 20. This makes it possible to track the history of disposal of important documents as necessary.
Further, as yet another aspect of the system suitable for discarding important documents, the document creator 15 that created the important documents can communicate with the management apparatus 20 (not shown), important It has a memory (not shown) in which various information related to documents is recorded, and the management apparatus 20 includes metadata of important documents transmitted from the managed shredder 1 when the important documents are shredded and discarded. An example of receiving the discard information, transmitting the discard information including metadata to the document creator 15 and recording the discard information in the memory is available.
In this example, when the important document is shredded and discarded, in addition to the management target shredder 1 and the management device 20, the document creator 15 also leaves the disposal information regarding the important document. As a result, with regard to important documents, it is possible to track the history of disposal as required by the document creator 15 in addition to the managed shredder 1 and the management apparatus 20.

It is connectable and is connected to the management apparatus 100 of the manager M via the network X so as to be communicable. The network X may be a wireless network such as WiFi, and if a shredder 30 is equipped with a PLC adapter (not shown), it is possible to obtain a communication environment from a power outlet. .
The control device 70 receives input signals to be described later via the input / output ports, executes a shredding control program preinstalled in the ROM 72 by the CPU 71 and RAM 73, and sends it to the drive device 50 of the shredding mechanism 35. A predetermined control signal is transmitted to perform shredding processing, or a communication control program (see FIG. 8) preinstalled in the ROM 72 is executed by the CPU 71 / RAM 73 and transmitted to the manager M side. The information to be read is read and communication processing is performed.

<Input signal to control device>
Here, examples of the input signal In input to the control device 70 include the following.
(In-1) An operation signal from the operation panel 60 (In-2) A signal (In) that is provided in the middle of the carry-in path 33 and detects whether or not the paper S is carried into the input port 32 (In -3) Signal from the waste full sensor 82 that detects whether or not the shredded waste Sa contained in the waste container 37 is full (In-4) Opening and closing of the door 31a (see FIG. 3) of the shredder housing 31 A signal (In-5) from the door opening / closing sensor 83 for detecting the measurement signal (In-6) drive from the ammeter 80 for measuring the drive current of the drive motor 51 which is the drive source of the drive device 50 of the shredding mechanism 35 An operation signal from an overheat preventer (not shown) that stops the operation of the drive motor 51 when the motor 51 reaches a high temperature state exceeding a predetermined level due to continuous operation. 60, as shown in FIG. A start switch 61 (indicated as ST in the figure) for input, a designation switch 62 (indicated as MS in the figure) that is operated when a transmission condition to be transmitted to the manager M is designated on the customer U side, and a shredder 30 And a display 63 for displaying the operation state. The insertion port sensor 81 may be appropriately selected from a mechanical and optical sensor as long as it can detect that the paper S has passed.

<Information to be sent>
In this example, information to be transmitted to the management apparatus 100 is stored in the transmission information storage area of the RAM 73 so as to be readable.
The information to be transmitted used in this example includes machine information and driving status information as shown in FIG.
(J-1) Model name This is the product name of the shredder 30 to be managed.
(J-2) Manufacturing number This is a number (manufacturing factory, manufacturing time, etc.) given for manufacturing the shredder 30 to be managed.
(J-3) Normal operation time Indicates the operation time during which the shredding mechanism 35 performs the shredding process. For example, the driving current value of the drive motor 51 is accumulated with respect to the time of no load. can get.
(J-4) Number of normal operations This indicates the number of operations in which the shredding process by the shredding mechanism 35 is performed, and can be obtained, for example, by accumulating the number of detections by the inlet sensor 81.
(J-5) Overload operation time During operation in which shredding processing by the shredding mechanism 35 is being performed, the load of the drive current value of the drive motor 51 is determined in advance due to an excessive amount of loaded paper. This is the total of the overload times.
(J-6) Number of overload operations During operation in which shredding processing is performed by the shredding mechanism 35, the load of the drive current value of the drive motor 51 is set to a predetermined threshold value due to an excessive amount of paper loaded. This is the total number of times that the above overload condition was reached.

(J-7) Auto-reverse frequency Auto-reverse processing prevents paper jamming in the shredding mechanism 35 when a high-load paper S exceeding the shredding capacity is loaded into the shredding mechanism 35. For this purpose, the sheet S input by returning the drive motor 51 to the reverse direction is returned and discharged from the input port 32. For example, it is obtained by counting the number of reverse rotations of the drive motor 51 during the operation of the shredding mechanism 35. It is done.
(J-8) Heat Dissipation Frequency The drive motor 51 is provided with an overheat protector (not shown), and it is obtained by counting the number of operations of the overheat protector.
(J-9) Number of detections of waste full sensor The waste full sensor 82 detects when the volume of shredded waste Sa in the waste container 37 reaches a certain full level. Once the shredded waste Sa in the container 37 is leveled, the detection signal of the waste full sensor 82 is once turned off. Therefore, when the detection signal of the normal waste full sensor 82 is detected a plurality of times, It is possible to grasp that the shredded waste Sa is substantially full.
(J-10) Input port sensor detection count This is the number of sheets fed into the input port 32.
(J-11) Number of door opening / closing sensor detections The number corresponds to the number of door 31a opening / closing of the shredder housing 31, and the opening / closing of the door 31a substantially corresponds to the number of shredded waste disposal of the waste container 37.

(J-SR) Usage History Information In this example, the cumulative shredding amount of the paper S when the shredding process by the shredding mechanism 35 is repeatedly performed is used. This cumulative shredding amount is obtained by accumulating the shredding amount calculated by the following formula.
Cumulative shredding amount = Σ (operating time x shredding load)
Here, “operating time” indicates a normal operation time in each shredding process by the shredding mechanism 35, and “shredding load” is a load at the time of shredding process by the shredding mechanism 35, specifically, the driving motor 51. This corresponds to the number of sheets to be shredded at the same time corresponding to the drive current ratio. In other words, as shown in FIG. 5A, the drive current I assumes that the shredding process by the shredding mechanism 35 can shred a plurality of papers S at the same time (the number of papers shredded simultaneously ( It increases proportionally with the number of shredded sheets). At this time, the difference between the driving current I (1) when the number of shredded sheets is 1 and the driving current I (0) at no load is ΔI (1), and the number of shredded sheets is n (n: 2 or more) If the difference between the driving current I (n) at the time of the number of sheets and the driving current I (0) at no load is ΔI (n), the relationship ΔI (n) / ΔI (1) ≈n is satisfied. Therefore, in the shredding process by the shredding mechanism 35, the shredding amount is calculated in consideration of the number of sheets to be shredded at the same time, and when this is accumulated, the accumulated shredding amount is calculated.

Further, the drive current I of the drive motor 51 indicates If, as shown in FIG. 5B, when there is no load operation when the shredder 30 is in the initial state (new), but after a certain period of time has elapsed, It shows a tendency to increase as Ia, Ib, Ic (If <Ia <Ib <Ic) as the amount of interruption increases (for example, 1t to 3t).
This is because when the shredding mechanism 35 is used over time, the cutter element of the shredding mechanism 35 is clogged with paper dust or shredded waste, or the cutter element is worn. Thus, it is estimated that the shredding load by the shredding mechanism 35 increases even during no-load operation.
Therefore, if the drive current I during no-load operation of the drive motor 51 is monitored regularly or irregularly, the degree of deterioration of the cutter element of the shredding mechanism 35 (paper It is possible to grasp clogging and wear).
Further, if the driving current I at the time of the shredding process by the shredding mechanism 35 also changes along with the deterioration of the shredding mechanism 35, the driving measured based on the degree of degradation of the shredding mechanism 35. If the current I is corrected, the shredding load in each shredding process is calculated more accurately, which is preferable in that the cumulative shredding amount is more accurately calculated.

(J-ER) Error history information For example, when the shredding process by the shredding mechanism 35 stops due to jamming of the paper S, the detection operation of various sensors (such as the inlet sensor 81 and the waste full sensor 82) becomes unstable. In such a case, an error code predetermined as an error type and the time of occurrence thereof are shown for these malfunctions.

-Management device-
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the management apparatus 100 is communicably connected to the network X via the communication modem 110 and can be accessed by the collection worker W through the portable terminal 200. (In this example, a so-called web server is used), and the management server 120 is provided with a customer database 130 in which information on the managed shredder 30 (mainly driving status information) is stored in an updatable manner. The customer database 130 can be browsed.
In particular, in this example, the management apparatus 100 diagnoses the necessity of the collection work for the shredded waste Sa shredded by the management target shredder 30 based on the customer database 130, and when the collection work is necessary. , A recovery operator W is selected, and a work diagnostic unit 140 capable of generating a shredder recovery operation instruction 141 for the selected recovery worker W is provided.
In this example, the management apparatus 100 executes a shredder management process as shown in FIG. 9, for example.
Then, the collection worker W refers to the collection work instruction 141 transmitted from the management device 100 to the portable terminal 200, goes to the customer U, and collects the shredded waste Sa generated from the managed shredder 30. Is supposed to be implemented.

<Customer database>
As the customer database 130 used in this example, the one shown in FIG.
In the figure, the customer database 130 includes user information 131, machine information 132, driving status information 133, usage history / error history and other information 134, and an update process is performed each time information is received from the managed shredder 30. It has been made.
Here, examples of the user information 131 include a company name, an address, a person in charge, a contact information, and a delivery date. Examples of the machine information 132 include a model name and a manufacturing number. The normal operation time, the normal operation frequency, the number of times of various sensor detections, etc., and the usage history / error history and other information 134 include cumulative shredding amount (for example, a predetermined specified value), various error codes, A display of the generation time, and a transmission request condition in a case where a transmission request is periodically made from the manager M side to the management shredder 30 are included.
In this example, as one of the operation status information 133, in order to diagnose the degree of deterioration of the cutter element of the shredding mechanism 35, the drive current value during no-load operation of the drive motor 51 is periodically changed from the initial operation time. Or it is measured irregularly and stored, and this is also stored in the customer database 130.

Next, an operation process of the shredder management system according to the present embodiment will be described.
-Processing on managed shredder side-
The control device 70 of the managed shredder 30 executes, for example, a shredder communication control program shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the control device 70 first determines whether or not the shredding process by the shredding mechanism 35 has been performed, and when the shredding process is performed, checks the shredding execution conditions. For example, the normal operation time, the normal operation frequency, the drive current of the drive motor 51, etc. are confirmed, and various machine information (overload operation time, overload operation frequency, auto reverse frequency, heat dissipation frequency, various sensors) associated with shredding processing Data).
Then, the amount of shredding by the shredding mechanism 35 is calculated based on the shredding implementation condition described above, and the cumulative shredding amount is calculated by accumulating the shredding amount so far.
Thereafter, the control device 70 checks whether or not the calculated cumulative shredding amount has reached a predetermined specified value, and reaches the information transmission time for the manager M under the condition that the specified value has been reached. Information necessary for the manager M (see FIG. 7A) is transmitted.
In the information transmission processing, it is preferable to perform preprocessing (password confirmation or the like) for ensuring security with the communication destination.
Further, when the control device 70 determines that the transmission time has not reached based on the cumulative shredding amount, it checks whether there is a warning notification or whether there is a transmission request from the administrator M. After that, if there is no request, the information transmission process is not executed, and if there is any request, the transmission process is performed on the manager M for necessary information according to the request.
Here, the “warning notification” is a notification that there is a high probability that the managed shredder 30 is likely to cause a problem in continuing normal operation. For example, the waste full sensor 82 (see FIG. 4). When the number of times of detection reaches a predetermined threshold value k times, a notification is given as a warning when the shredded waste Sa is full and it is difficult to continue the shredding process by the shredding mechanism 35. is there.

-Processing on the management device side-
For example, the management apparatus 100 executes a shredder management program shown in FIG.
In the figure, the management apparatus 100 determines whether or not to send a transmission request to the management target shredder 30. At this time, for example, it is checked whether or not it matches the transmission time information added to the usage history / error history and other information 134 of the customer database 130.
When there is a transmission request from the manager M side, a transmission request is sent to the management target shredder 30.
On the other hand, if there is no transmission request from the manager M described above, it is determined whether there is a direct request from the collection worker W, and if there is a request from the collection worker W, the management target When the transmission request is made to the shredder 30 and there is no request from the collection worker W, it is always monitored whether or not it is received from the management target shredder 30. When the reception is from the management target shredder 30, the reception is received. To give permission.
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6, the management apparatus 100 reads the information transmitted from the management target shredder 30 and updates the customer database 130 of the management server 120.
Then, the management target shredder 30 is diagnosed from the information transmitted by the work diagnosing unit 140, and a recovery work instruction 141 to be transmitted to the recovery worker W is obtained when it is determined that the recovery operation of shredded waste is necessary. create.

Here, the details of processing performed by the work diagnosis unit 140 are as follows.
(1) Judgment process about the necessity of collection | recovery This determines the necessity of collection | recovery of the shredded waste Sa produced | generated from the said management target shredder 30 based on the shredded scrap information of the management target shredder 30 of the customer database 130. In this example, as shown in FIG. 10, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, the cumulative shredding amount is T, and a specified value that requires the work of collecting shredded waste Sa (for example, the waste container 37 is filled at the request of the customer U). If T1 is a predetermined value that can be selected in advance by an integral multiple of the amount obtained, it is determined that it is necessary to collect shredded waste Sa under the condition that T = T1.
In this example, when the information of the accumulated shredding amount T1 as shredded waste information is used as the collection work information of shredded waste Sa, the accumulated shredder amount T1 in the customer database 130 is reset, and the accumulated shredded amount T1 is accumulated. The cumulative calculation of the cutoff amount T1 is restarted.
(2) Selection process of recovery worker W Under the condition that the management target shredder 30 needs to recover the shredded waste Sa in the determination process, the recovery operator W suitable for the management target shredder 30 is selected. Is selected.
At this time, a preferable method for selecting the collection worker W is, for example, in a mode in which the portable terminal 200 has a GPS function, the collection worker W as a collection base is used from the position of the portable terminal 200 using the GPS function. Therefore, it is only necessary to select one or a plurality of collection bases close to the management target shredder 30 that is the collection destination as a selection candidate and select the collection worker W who is ultimately in charge. .
(3) Creation Step of Collection Work Instruction When a collection worker W for the managed shredder 30 is selected, a collection work instruction 141 to be transmitted to the selected collection worker W is created.
Here, as the description content of the collection work instruction 141, information necessary for the collection worker W to go to the location of the customer U of the shredder 30 to be managed and perform the collection work of the shredded waste Sa is described. What should I do?
For example:
-Location of customer U-Machine information of shredder 30 to be managed-Recovered amount of shredded waste Sa-Destination of recovered shredded waste Sa At this time, from the machine information of the model of shredder 30 to be managed, shredded waste Sa Therefore, the manager M determines the shredder size and the recovered amount of shredded waste Sa, for example, considering that the shredded waste Sa is reused and recycled. To do.

-Treatment on the collection worker W side-
When the collection worker W obtains the collection work instruction 141 transmitted from the administrator M to the portable terminal 200, the collection worker W transmits an acceptance notice from the portable terminal 200 to the management apparatus 100 when accepting the job.
Thereafter, the collection worker W confirms the convenience of the visit to the customer U of the management target shredder 30, and then goes to the customer U and performs the recovery operation of the shredded waste Sa on the management target shredder 30.
At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, since the shredded waste Sa generated from the management target shredder 30 is stored in, for example, the waste bag 90, the recovery worker W stores the recovery source information in the waste bag 90. , Shredded waste information (for example, shredded size, amount of shredded scrap recovered, etc.), a waste collection label 91 on which the destination information is written, and the waste bag 90 is collected. Hand over the collection work completion document of shredded waste Sa.
In addition, it is preferable that the disposal / recovery label 91 is prepared in advance so that it can be pasted together with, for example, the collection work instruction 141.
In this state, the collection worker W transmits a collection completion notification of shredded waste Sa from the portable terminal 200 to the manager M (management apparatus 100). Thereby, the manager M can grasp the progress of the work situation by the collection worker W. Then, the collection worker W carries the shredded waste Sa collected directly or via another person in charge to the carry-in destination.

-Outline of shredded waste management in Embodiment 1-
FIG. 11 schematically shows the mutual relationship among the customer U, the manager M / management center, and the collection worker W in the shredder shredder management system according to the present embodiment.
According to the figure, it is as follows.
(1) The manager M collects information (machine information / operation status information) from the managed shredder 30 owned by the customer U.
(2) The manager M issues a collection work instruction to the collection worker W when the collection work conditions for the shredded waste Sa are in place.
(3) The collection worker W carries out a collection operation of the shredded waste Sa generated from the management target shredder 30 of the customer U.
(4) The collection operator W carries the collected shredded waste Sa into the carry-in destination (processing company Q).

-Outline of maintenance and repair management in the first embodiment-
In the present embodiment, since the management apparatus 100 collects machine body information and operation status information of the management-target shredder 30, in addition to the shredder management described above, maintenance / repair management of the management-target shredder 30 is also performed. It is possible.
1. As shown in FIG. 10, when the cumulative shredding amount T = T2 (for example, 1t), if the maintenance inspection time is selected in advance, the management is performed as shown in FIG. 5B, for example. By checking the value of the drive current I of the drive motor 51 during no-load operation of the target shredder 30, it is possible to estimate the degree of deterioration (paper jam, wear) of the cutter element of the shredding mechanism 35. Based on this data check, for example, a maintenance / repair work instruction 142 is created. In the case where the value of the drive current I of the drive motor 51 described above increases beyond the expected range, it is diagnosed that the degree of deterioration of the shredding mechanism 35 is progressing, and that is the effect. An additional paragraph is added.
As a result, as shown by (5) in FIG. 11, the manager M sends a maintenance / repair work instruction 142 to the maintenance / repair staff P, who has instructed the maintenance / repair work instructions described above. The operation state of the managed shredder 30 is grasped by referring to the book 142, and maintenance parts and the like are prepared in advance if necessary, and the maintenance work (maintenance) of the managed shredder 30 is performed by visiting the site.
2. Shredder repair management As shown in FIG. 10, when the accumulated shredding amount T = T3 (for example, 3t), assuming that the guaranteed life of the shredding mechanism 35 has been reached, for example, as shown in FIG. Thus, by checking the value of the drive current I of the drive motor 51 during the no-load operation of the managed shredder 30, the degree of deterioration (paper jam, wear) of the cutter element of the shredding mechanism 35 has reached the end of its life. Judgment can be made. If it is confirmed based on such data check that the shredding mechanism 35 has reached the end of its life, a maintenance / repair work instruction 142 to that effect is created.
As a result, the manager M sends a maintenance / repair work instruction 142 to the maintenance / repair staff P as shown in (6) in FIG. The operation status of the shredder 30 to be managed is grasped by referring to the certificate 142, and when it is judged that the shredding mechanism 35 is at the end of its life, a replacement part of the shredding mechanism 35 is prepared, and the shredder 30 to be managed is sent to the site. Overhaul.

-Summary of shredded waste management in comparative form 1-

Embodiment 3
FIG. 17 shows a main part of the shredder shredder management system according to the third embodiment.
In the figure, the basic configuration of the shredder shredder management system is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, but unlike the first embodiment, the shredder 30 (for example, 30a) of the customer U has a waste container. 37 is provided with a waste amount communication device 400 for communicating information on the capacity (hereinafter referred to as waste amount) of shredded waste Sa accommodated in 37, for example, a gateway 80 (wireless LAN, Bluetooth (such as Bluetooth) is connected to the network X, and can communicate with the management apparatus 100 of the manager M / management center. When the management device 100 determines that the amount of scrap in the scrap container 37 has reached a predetermined full level based on information from the scrap amount communication device 400, the shredded waste Sa in the scrap container 37 is For example, after being housed in the waste bag 90, shredded waste collection work by the collection worker W is performed. In addition, about the component similar to Embodiment 1, the code | symbol similar to Embodiment 1 is attached | subjected, and the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted here.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the waste amount communication device 400 is attached to the opening edge of the waste container 37, for example, as shown in FIGS. 18 (a) and 18 (b). The waste amount sensor 410 is incorporated into a part of the communication device housing 401, and the communication device housing 401 has at least a transmission modem function in the communication device housing 401, the detection processing by the waste amount sensor 410, and the communication by the communication portion 421. And a control device 420 for controlling processing.
An internal power source (battery) 430 or an external power source 431 is connected to the waste amount communication device 400 via a changeover switch 432 so as to be selectable.
In this example, as shown in FIGS. 18A and 18B, the scrap amount sensor 410 is configured by a photocoupler having a light emitting element 411 such as an LED and a light receiving element 412 such as a photodiode. The irradiation light Bm from the light emitting element 411 is irradiated obliquely downward from the opening edge position of the waste container 37 toward the bottom of the waste container 37, and from the surface portion of the shredded waste Sa accommodated in the waste container 37. The reflected light Bm ′ is received by the light receiving element 412.
Here, in FIG. 18B, reference numeral 413 is a resistor that adjusts the amount of current supplied to the light emitting element 410, and reference numeral 414 is a resistor that is used to extract an output voltage that accompanies the light receiving element 412.

Next, the operation principle of the waste amount sensor 410 will be described.
Now, as shown in FIG. 19A, when the capacity of the shredded waste Sa accommodated in the waste container 37 is gradually increased, the surface position of the shredded waste Sa is d ₆ → d ₅ → d ₄ → d ₃ → d ₂ → d ₁ in order. At this time, if the installation position of the waste amount sensor 410 is d ₀ , the distance d from the waste amount sensor 410 to the shredded waste Sa is d ₆ > d ₅ > d ₄ > d ₃ > d ₂ > d ₁ . It is. In the present embodiment, the surface position d ₁ of Hosodankuzu Sa is assumed that full level of Hosodankuzu Sa.
In this state, the output level of the reflected light Bm reaching the light receiving element 412 after the irradiation light Bm from the light emitting element 411 is reflected by the surface portion of the shredded waste Sa is as shown in FIG. as the light path length from the light emitting element 411 of the sensor 410 to return to the light receiving element 412 is long low, it tends to increase gradually as the optical path length becomes shorter, indicating a Vmax at the position of d _1.
In this example, as shown in FIG. 19C, the scrap amount sensor 410 turns on the light emitting element 411 such as an LED for a predetermined sampling time ts (for example, 1 second) at a predetermined detection cycle, The output of the light receiving element 412 (point A in FIG. 18B) is detected, sampled at a predetermined sampling interval, and averaged, for example, to obtain the output value of the scrap amount sensor 410. The averaging process is performed because the output of the light receiving element 412 varies during the shredding shredding process. Note that the sampling method is not necessarily limited to the averaging process, and may be appropriately selected, for example, averaging except the maximum value and the minimum value.

Further, in this example, the control device 420 stores the characteristic graph (FIG. 19B) of the output of the waste amount sensor 410 (output of the light receiving element 412) in a memory not shown in the figure, and at every predetermined detection cycle. The output of the scrap amount sensor 410 is detected, information corresponding to the distance d from the scrap amount sensor 410 to the shredded scrap Sa (for example, the scrap amount level of 16 levels) is calculated and transmitted via the communication unit 421. To do.
Further, for example, the following information is written in the memory of the control device 420 as information on the machine body of the managed shredder 30 and information on the power source of the waste amount communication device 400, and is transmitted together with the waste amount level described above. ing.

On the other hand, when there is no level fluctuation in a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), the waste amount level information is transmitted every predetermined time t ₂ (for example, 1 hour).

-Internal power supply-
As shown in FIG. 20B, when using the internal power supply (battery) 430, control for suppressing the consumption of the internal power supply 430 is necessary. In FIG. 20 (b), a portion indicated by B indicates a region surrounded by B in FIG. 20 (a).
First, it is checked whether or not the internal power supply 430 is at a low voltage, and if it is detected that the voltage is low, battery replacement information is transmitted every predetermined time t ₃ (for example, 1 hour). .
On the other hand, when the internal power source 430 is not at a low voltage, the scrap amount level is determined, and the scrap amount of the shredded waste Sa accommodated in the waste container 37 is a predetermined level (for example, the surface position of the shredded waste Sa). There is checked whether the output level Vth) or whether the scrap quantity sensor 410 when the d _6.
At this time, if the output level of the waste amount sensor 410 is less than Vth, the waste amount level determination interval is t ₄ (for example, 1 minute) and the transmission interval is t ₅ (in this example, t ₅ = t ₄ ). Send quantity level information. The one second of the judging interval t ₄ samples 10 times, averaging processing to equalize the level variation of the scrap quantity. Note that it is possible to perform processing other than the averaging processing, for example, using a minimum value or a maximum value.
Further, when the output level of the scrap quantity sensor 410 is above Vth is so that the surface position of Hosodankuzu Sa is located above d _6, in this case, the determination interval debris levels t ₆ (For example, 10 seconds), the amount of waste level information is transmitted at a transmission interval of t ₇ (t ₇ = t _{6 in} this example).
Note that transmits the Kuzuryou level information for each time determined in advance when there is no 30 seconds fluctuates debris levels due to debris quantity sensor 410 t _{2 (e.g.} 1 hour). However, when the determination interval of the scrap amount level is t ₄ (for example, 1 minute), the scrap amount level is determined every predetermined time t ₂ (for example, one hour) when there is no change in the scrap amount level for 3 minutes. Send information.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the waste amount communication device 400 measures the amount of waste stored in the waste container 37, and the waste information together with the machine body information of the management target shredder 30 and the power information of the waste amount communication device 400.
