Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an empty can collecting compressor for collecting and compressing empty cans.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, it is becoming more important to reuse empty cans, and it is good in terms of efficiency to compress and collect hollow cans with a large volume. Therefore, various devices for collecting and compressing empty cans have been developed. .

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional empty can collection compressor, for example, a structure in which a compression plate is attached to a ball screw is adopted, the compression screw is reciprocated by rotating the ball screw by a motor that rotates in the forward and reverse directions. Since the empty cans are compressed by doing so, the structure becomes complicated, and it takes time to compress the empty cans.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an empty can collecting compressor having a relatively simple structure and capable of quickly compressing an empty can.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 For this reason, the empty can recovery compressor of the present invention is a free can recovery compressor in which the empty can compressor is installed in the main body case with the empty can input port provided on the front surface. Empty can pedestal for receiving empty cans, a compression fixing plate arranged on the empty can receiving base, a movable compression plate fixed movably opposite the compression fixing plate and fixed at the end of the crank, A fulcrum shaft for slidably instructing the intermediate portion, a disc having a crank tip connected via an eccentric pin, and a motor for rotationally driving the disc are configured.

[0006]

[Action / effect]

 In the empty can collecting compressor having such a configuration, when the motor rotationally drives the disk, the crank moves reciprocally while swinging, and the movable compression plate fixed to the end of the crank moves to the opposing compression fixing plate. To move forward and backward. Empty cans are loaded from the empty can input port, enter between the compression fixing plate and the movable compression plate on the empty can receiving base, and are compressed by the forward and backward movements of the movable compression plate.

As described above, since the movable compression plate is fixed to the end of the crank, the movable compression plate can be efficiently reciprocated by the crank operation by the rotation of the disc, and the empty can can be compressed quickly. Further, the structure of the compressor can be relatively simplified.

If a drop hole is provided in the empty can support and a container into which the empty can is placed is provided below the drop hole, the compressed empty can can be properly stored in the container. In addition, if a loading sensor that detects the loading of empty cans and a control circuit that starts the motor in response to the detection of the loading sensor and drives the motor for the preset time of the timer are provided, the empty can recovery compressor will operate properly and automatically. can do.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the empty can collecting compressor, and FIGS. 2 and 3 show sectional views thereof. This empty can collection compressor is basically constructed by disposing an empty can compressor 3 in a main body case 1 having an empty can inlet 2 provided on the front surface.

The body case 1 is formed in a rectangular box shape, and a front door 4 is provided on the front surface of the body case 1 and can be opened and closed. A container 15 is provided at the bottom of the body case 1 for storing the recovered and compressed empty can (Fig. 3).

The empty can compressor 3 includes an empty can receiving stand 5 provided near an intermediate portion in the main body case 1, a compression fixing plate 6 standing on the empty can receiving stand 5, and a compression fixing plate 6 facing each other. It is composed of a movable compression plate 7 movably provided, a crank 8 fixed to the movable compression plate 7, and a motor 10 for reciprocating the crank 8 via a disc 9.

Immediately below the compression fixing plate 6 of the empty can holder 5, a rectangular drop hole 5a for dropping the compressed empty can is provided. Further, on the empty can holder 5, a fulcrum shaft 11 supports a bracket. It is installed vertically. A long hole 8a is provided in a crank 8 behind the movable compression plate 7, and a fulcrum shaft 11 is slidably fitted in the long hole 8a.

On the other hand, a geared motor with a reducer is used as the motor 10, and the motor 10 is fixed to the side portion of the empty can support 5. The disc 9 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 10, and the tip of the crank 8 is connected to the eccentric position of the disc 9 via an eccentric pin 12.

Therefore, the disk 9 is rotated by the motor 10, and the rotation of the eccentric pin 12 accompanying the rotation of the disk 9 converts the rotation into the reciprocating motion of the crank 8. Performs reciprocating motion with swing around. The stroke length of the crank 8 or the movable compression plate 7 at this time is set to a compression width for compressing an empty can.

A loading sensor 14 (a proximity switch, a photoelectric switch, etc.) for detecting loading of an empty can is provided at the back of the empty can input port 2. The control circuit of the motor 10 is configured to start the motor 10 by detecting the empty can of the injection sensor 14, drive the motor for a predetermined time (for example, 20 seconds), and then turn off the motor by a timer operation.

Next, the operation of the empty can collecting compressor having the above configuration will be described.

When the empty can K is loaded from the empty can input port 2, the empty can K falls between the movable compression plate 7 and the compression fixing plate 6 on the receiving table 5. At this time, when the loading sensor 14 detects loading of the empty can K, the motor 10 is started.

When the circular plate 9 rotates, as shown in FIG. 4B, the crank 8, that is, the movable compression plate 7 advances while tilting to compress the empty can K with the compression fixing plate 6. Then, when the circular plate 9 rotates 180 °, the movable compression plate 7 advances the most, the empty can K is sandwiched between the compression fixing plate 6 and compressed to a predetermined thickness.

Further, when the circular plate 9 rotates, the movable compression plate 7 shifts to the backward movement, and the movable compression plate 7 is separated from the empty can, so that the crushed empty can K is removed from the drop hole 5 a on the pedestal 5. It falls into the container 15 below.

After starting, the motor 10 operates for a timer time, and during the set time, the above process is repeated twice or three times. Therefore, the empty can K which is not sufficiently compressed by one compression stays on the receiving table 5 and is compressed again, and after being sufficiently compressed, falls from the drop hole 5a.

Even when empty cans K are continuously loaded, the motor is driven for a time corresponding to the number of loaded cans, and the empty cans K that have been loaded successively enter the cradle 5 and the compression fixing plate 6 It is sandwiched between the movable compression plate 7 and the movable compression plate 7, and is sequentially compressed. The compressed empty can drops from the drop hole 5a to the container below.

As described above, because of the simple structure in which the movable compression plate 7 is fixed to the end of the crank 8, the movable compression plate 7 reciprocates with rocking, but the empty can is surely and without problems. It is compressed in a short time.
