Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a garbage container with a lift that can raise a garbage container to an arbitrary height and can stop the garbage container at that height.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Garbage collection is usually performed as follows. First, a garbage container (eg, a plastic bucket) containing garbage is placed in a predetermined collection place. Garbage is stored in garbage containers in plastic bags or other garbage bags. A garbage truck goes around this collection site, and the collectors put garbage bags in the garbage container into the garbage slot of the garbage truck. The garbage bags put into the garbage truck are compressed inside the garbage truck and are sequentially stored in the garbage truck.

[0003] In general, garbage is not collected together with all kinds of garbage. For example, it is general to collect garbage separately from combustibles and non-combustibles. For this reason, the collectors check each garbage bag for flammable or non-flammable garbage and insert the garbage bag into the garbage slot of the garbage truck. Therefore, the garbage container is not tilted and the garbage bag in the garbage container is thrown into the garbage inlet of the garbage truck at a stretch.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In this way, in order to check each garbage bag individually, pick up the garbage bags in the garbage container one by one from a lower position, and then place each garbage bag into the garbage slot of the garbage truck. It becomes necessary to input. As described above, garbage collection involves lifting the garbage bag from a lower position to a higher position, which places a heavy burden on the waist of the collectors and also raises the problem that the collection efficiency does not increase.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and it is not necessary to pick up garbage bags one by one from a garbage container when putting garbage bags into a garbage truck. It is an object of the present invention to provide a device that can efficiently transfer a garbage bag from a container to a garbage truck.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 To this end, the present invention provides a garbage container with a lift. This garbage container with a lift is composed of a first opening / closing door that can be opened upward in a vertical plane and a second opening / closing door that can be opened downward in a vertical plane. It comprises a trash container having at least one of the trash containers, and an elevator capable of lifting and lowering the trash container with the trash container mounted thereon and stopping the trash container at an arbitrary height.

The garbage container is placed, for example, in a garbage collection place with the garbage container being placed on the elevator, so that a garbage bag can be put at any time. When throwing the garbage bags stored in the garbage container into the garbage input port of the garbage truck, first raise the garbage container to the height of the garbage input port of the garbage truck using an elevator. Next, one or both of the first and second doors of the trash container are opened. Since the garbage container rises in accordance with the height of the garbage input port of the garbage truck, the opening of the garbage container formed by opening the first and second doors opens the garbage container with the garbage input port of the garbage vehicle. Located at the same height.

Thereafter, the garbage collector transfers the garbage bag in the garbage container to the garbage input port of the garbage truck while checking the contents of the garbage bag. At this time, the garbage bags may be moved almost horizontally from the garbage container to the garbage inlet, so that it is not necessary to pick up the garbage bags one by one as in the conventional case, and the garbage collection work can be easily performed. it can. The garbage container does not need to have both the first door and the second door, and it suffices to have only one of them.

[0009]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 1 to 3 show one embodiment of a garbage container with a lift according to the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a garbage container 10 in a garbage container with a lift according to the present embodiment. The trash container 10 is made of a plastic resin, and has a shape close to a cube. A first opening / closing door 12 and a second opening / closing door 14 are provided on the front surface of the trash container 10. The first opening / closing door 12 occupies substantially the upper half of the front surface of the trash container 10, and is rotatably attached to the trash container 10 at the upper edge 12a. For this reason, the first door 12 can be opened and closed in the direction of arrow A about the upper edge 12a. In FIG. 1, the first opening / closing door 12 represented by a solid line indicates a closed state, and the first opening / closing door 12b represented by a broken line indicates an open state. On the other hand, the second opening / closing door 14 occupies substantially the lower half of the front surface of the trash container 10, and is rotatably attached to the trash container 10 at the lower edge 14a. For this reason, the second opening / closing door 14 can be opened and closed in the direction of arrow B about the lower edge 14a. In FIG. 1, the second opening / closing door 14 indicated by a solid line indicates a closed state, and the second opening / closing door 14b indicated by a broken line indicates an open state.

When both the first door 12 and the second door 14 are closed, as shown in FIG. 1, the tip of the first door 12 and the tip of the second door 14 are closed. Are in contact with each other and the trash container 10 is maintained in a sealed state, so that the contents of the trash container 10 do not leak.

[0011] Handles 16a and 16b are attached to the first opening and closing door 12 and the second opening and closing door 14, respectively, and the first opening and closing door 12 and the second opening and closing door 14 are held by the handles 16a and 16b. Can be opened and closed. In the trash container 10, trash in a trash bag such as a plastic bag is stored.

FIG. 2 shows an elevator 20 used in the garbage container with the elevator according to the present embodiment. The elevator 20 includes a base plate 22, an elevating platform 24, an elevating mechanism 26 that freely raises and lowers the elevating platform 24 with respect to the base plate 22, a caster 28 attached to the base plate 22, and a pusher attached to the base plate 22. A frame 30 is provided. The lifting mechanism 26 includes a pair of X-shaped movable plates 32 that support the lifting table 24, a damper 34 that raises or lowers the movable plate 32, and a damper adjustment device that is provided below the base plate 22. It is composed of a foot pedal 36 and a descent indicator rod 38.

The pair of movable plates 32 are made up of plate members 32a and 32b, respectively, and the plate members 32a and 32b are mounted at their centers 32c so as to be rotatable with each other. The lower end of the movable plate 32b is fixed to the base plate 22, and one plate member 32a constituting the movable plate 32 is connected to each other at its lower end via a plate 40. It is configured so that it can slide freely. One end of the damper 34 is fixed on the base plate 22, and the extending end is attached to the movable plate 32.

The control of the damper 34 is performed by a foot pedal 36 and a descending instruction rod 38. That is, when the foot pedal 36 is depressed with the foot, the extension end of the damper 34 is extended, and accordingly, the movable plate 32 is raised. When the foot is released from the foot pedal 36, the extension of the extension end of the damper 34 is stopped at that point, and the movable plate 32 and, consequently, the lift 24 are stopped at the current height. On the other hand, when the descending instruction rod 38 is rotated, the extended end of the damper 34 contracts, and the movable plate 32 descends. That is, the lifting mechanism 26 moves up and down according to the same principle as a so-called jack.

As described above, as the movable plate 32 is raised or lowered, the lift 24 is freely raised and lowered from the lowest first position H1 (the position shown by the broken line) to the highest position H2 (the position shown in FIG. 2). be able to.

The garbage container with a lift according to the present embodiment is used as follows. First, the garbage container 10 is placed on the elevator 24 of the elevator 20, and the elevator 24 is lowered to the lowest position H1. In this state, the garbage bags are sequentially stored in the trash container 10. When putting a garbage bag into the trash container 10, it is not necessary to open both the first opening and closing door 12 and the second opening and closing door 14, and only the first opening and closing door 12 needs to be opened. Since the elevating table 24 is located at the lowest position H1 and the trash container 10 is also located at the lowest position, it is easy to put trash bags into the trash container 10.

When the garbage bag in the garbage container 10 is transferred to the garbage truck, first, the foot pedal 36 of the elevator 20 is stepped on, the extension end of the damper 34 is extended, and the elevator 24 is raised. As shown in FIG. 3, the elevator 24 is raised so that the lower end 14a of the second opening / closing door 14 is located at substantially the same height as the height of the garbage inlet 44 of the garbage truck 42. Fine adjustment of the height of the elevating table 24 can be performed by moving the movable plate 32 up and down by a foot pedal 36 and a descending support rod 38.

Thereafter, the first door 12 and the second door 14 of the trash container 10 are opened. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the tip of the second opening / closing door 14 is supported on the dust inlet 44. Next, the trash bag 46 is moved from the trash container 10 to the trash input port 44 of the garbage truck 42 while checking the contents of the trash bag 46.

After the garbage bag 46 has been inserted into the garbage inlet 44, the first opening and closing doors 12 and the second opening and closing door 14 of the garbage container 10 are closed, and then the lowering support bar 38 is rotated, and 24 is lowered to the lowest position H1. This completes one cycle of garbage collection.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the height of the elevator 24 is such that the lower end 14 a of the second opening / closing door 14 of the garbage container 10 is substantially the same height as the garbage input port 44 of the garbage truck 42. In this way, it is no longer necessary to pick up the trash bags one by one from the trash container as in the past, and it is possible to move the trash bags from the trash container to the garbage truck with less effort. it can.

Although the trash container 10 in the above embodiment has both the first door 12 and the second door 14, the trash container 10 has the first door 12 and the second door 1. It is sufficient to have any one of the four.

The garbage container used in the garbage container with a lift according to the present embodiment is not limited to the one shown in FIG. For example, the trash container 50 shown in FIG. 4 can be used. The trash container 50 has one opening / closing door 52, and the opening / closing door 52 occupies almost the entire front surface of the trash container 50. The opening / closing door 52 is rotatably attached to the trash container 50 at its upper end 52a, so that it can rotate about the upper end 52a to open and close the trash container 50. I have. In the embodiment described above, the same effect can be obtained by using the trash container 50 shown in FIG. 4 instead of the trash container 10 shown in FIG.

[0023]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the present invention, when a garbage bag is put into a garbage truck, the garbage bag itself can be raised to the same height as the garbage inlet of the garbage truck and stopped at that height. it can. For this reason, the garbage bags can be transferred from the trash container to the garbage truck almost horizontally, and it is no longer necessary to pick up the garbage bags one by one from the garbage container. Transfer of garbage bags to cars can be performed efficiently.
