Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] Industrial application field The present invention relates to an empty can and an empty bottle sorter that sorts steel cans, aluminum cans, and glass bottles and collects them for each type. .

2. Description of the Related Art Currently, soft drinks and the like are sold at vending machine installation locations and shops, and empty steel cans, aluminum cans, and glass bottles that have been drunk are discarded in a single garbage bin. The managers take time and effort to sort by hand, but most of them are currently landfilled as garbage.

However, steel cans, aluminum cans, and glass bottles are useful resources that can be recycled if collected separately (especially aluminum cans and glass bottles are expensive), but if three types are mixed, labor and expense are required to separate them. For this reason, they are disposed of as garbage, and in this case, there is a drawback that garbage disposal costs are required.

The problem to be solved by the present invention The present invention recycles empty cans and empty bottles as useful resources by separately collecting steel cans, aluminum cans, and glass bottles, and reduces garbage disposal costs. The company intends to provide a sorting machine for cans and empty bottles.

[Structure of device]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention solves the problem that since there is no simple and inexpensive sorter based on the above-mentioned conventional technology, empty cans and empty bottles, which are useful resources, must be disposed of as garbage. In view of the above, by sorting steel cans by magnet band and sorting aluminum cans and glass bottles by weight difference, it is possible to provide an inexpensive sorting machine with a simple structure and reuse empty cans and empty bottles as useful resources. The above-mentioned problem is to be solved.

According to the present invention, the empty cans and empty bottles inserted into the inlet are rolled or jumped by a posture adjusting plate inclined downwardly of the inlet and a spring supporting the posture adjusting plate, and the opening is opened in a horizontal state. The steel can falls down on the guide plate, rolls on the guide plate, and rotates around the lower surface of the substantially horizontal U-shaped magnet band by the action of the magnet, and falls into the collection box at the end of the magnet band. The aluminum cans and glass bottles fall from the curved end of the magnet strip onto the classification plate, and the glass bottles fall into the collection box due to their weight and are collected.The aluminum cans roll over the classification plate because they are light. It falls into the collection box ahead and is collected.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a separator for empty cans (steel cans A, aluminum cans B) and empty bottles (glass bottles C). A separation box 3 provided with an inlet 2 and a collection box 4 for each of a steel can A, a glass bottle C, and an aluminum can B provided below the separation box 3;
5 and 6.

The inlet 2 is formed by opening the upper part of the separation box 3, and the opening edge portions 7 and 7a are provided with a pair of attitude adjusting plates 9 and 9a which are inclined downward toward the center via springs 8 and 8a at a slight inclination angle. Attached horizontally so that it can be enlarged, and a pair of posture adjustment plates 9 and 9a
A charging opening 10 is opened in the lateral direction between them.

11 is a steel can A provided on the side wall 12 in the middle of the sorting box 3
Is a first sorter that sorts a substantially U-shaped mounting plate on the side wall 12 so as to incline downward in the traveling direction as a whole.
A guide plate 14 is fixed to the upper surface of the mounting plate 13 below the inlet 2 at the start end side, and a magnet made of a rubber magnet is provided on the substantially horizontal U-shaped portion on the advancing side following the guide plate 14. The band 15 is fixed, and the magnet band 15 extends up to the side of the side wall 12 below the mounting plate 13,
A non-magnetic separating plate 17 is fixed to the end portion 16 of the magnet band 15.

That is, the guide plate 14, the magnet band 15 having the substantially horizontal U-shaped portion (curved portion), and the separation plate 17 are continuously inclined downward in the traveling direction side in a substantially horizontal U-shape on the side, so that the guide is performed. The sorting surface of the first half of the plate 14 and the magnet band 15 is substantially upward, and the substantially horizontal U-shaped portion of the next magnet band 15 is substantially upward, substantially horizontal, substantially downward, and the sorting surface is sequentially oriented. The sorting surface of the rear half portion of the next magnet strip 15 and the separation plate 17 is substantially downward, and the sorting surfaces are in a downwardly inclined state in the traveling direction of a substantially U-shaped side surface. .

The head (height) between the input opening 10 and the guide plate 14 maintains a horizontal head even when the empty cans and empty bottles are inserted with inclination.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a second sorting machine which sorts the aluminum can B and the glass bottle C provided substantially below the center of the sorting box 3, and separates the collecting box 4 from the collecting box 5 below the curved end 19 of the magnet band 15. Board 20
A partition plate 21 is erected on the upper portion, a partition plate 23 lower than the partition plate 21 is erected above the partition plate 22 between the collection box 5 and the collection box 6, and a spring 24 is provided on the upper portion of the partition plate 21. The inclination angle of the classification plate 25 inclined downward through is large (rotated by a predetermined angle)
Installed as possible.

In the above embodiment, the empty cans to be sorted and the empty bottles are assumed to be steel cans A, aluminum cans B, and glass bottles C. However, some vending machines and the like do not sell glass bottles C. The second sorting machine 18 and the collecting box 5 may not be provided only for the steel can A and the aluminum can B.

In addition, when the object and the component parts are additionally described, both the empty can and the empty bottle are substantially cylindrical, and the size of the empty can is φ53 to
80, empty bottle size φ46 ~ 77, steel can A weight 50 ~ 80g, aluminum can B weight 14 ~ 3
5 g, the weight of the glass bottle C is 80 to 250 g, and the opening area of the injection opening 10, the strength of the springs 8, 8a and 24, the magnetic force of the magnet band 15, the posture adjusting plates 9, 9a, the guide plate 14,
Although the inclination angles of the magnet band 15 and the classifying plate 25 are determined, since the sizes and weights of the empty cans and empty bottles are various, each component is changed accordingly, and the springs 8, 8
In some cases, it is better to use leaf springs for a and 24.

Next, the operation of the empty can and empty bottle sorter according to the present invention will be described. The empty cans and empty bottles purchased at the vending machine and the stand and finished drinking are put into the input opening 10 of the input port 2, At this time, the empty cans and empty bottles that do not match the lateral opening 10 are rolled by the attitude adjusting plates 9 and 9a inclined downward,
8a, it jumps up and eventually falls in the horizontal direction and drops from the charging opening 10, and also matches in the horizontal direction, but the empty cans and empty bottles that have fallen down and inclined reach the guide plate 14 and become horizontal. Then, since the guide plate 14 is inclined in the traveling direction, it rolls into an empty can, an empty bottle, and the steel can A rolls around the magnet band 15 along the shape by the magnetic force of the magnet band 15, Reaching the lower surface of the magnet band 15, the end portion 16 of the magnet band 15
That is, since the magnetic force disappears at the front edge of the separating plate 17, the magnetic material falls and is collected in the collecting box 4, and since the aluminum can B and the glass bottle C are not affected by the magnet band 15, the downward inclination in the traveling direction is induced. Rolling on the plate 14 and the magnet band 15, the curved end 19 of the magnet band 15
The glass bottle C falls down on the classification plate 25, and the classification plate 25 falls down (rotates) downward against the spring 24 due to its weight and is collected in the collection box 5; Because of its light weight, it jumps on the classification plate 25 or falls from the tip of the rolling classification plate 25 and is collected in the collection box 6.
