Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Problem] To provide a hopper above an empty can pressing portion, and to put an empty can to be pressed in the hopper, the hopper immediately before the empty can pressing portion operates. Empty cans fall smoothly one by one. SOLUTION: Two oscillating pressing plates 6, 7 which swing left and right following an eccentric cam 4 are provided facing fixed pressing plates 2, 3, and a hopper 12 provided above them is provided. To 2
The upper and lower edges of the blades 17 and 18 are pivotally attached to the left and right swinging ends, and the lower ends of the blades 17 and 18 are exposed to the movement passages above the swinging pressure plates 6 and 7. Press plates 6, 7
When one approaches the fixed pressing plates 2 and 3, one of the blades is raised. When the blades move, the empty can in the hopper moves slightly, so that the empty can falls smoothly.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an empty can crusher that crushes empty cans such as juice cans and beer cans flat.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, there is known an empty can crusher in which an empty can is sandwiched and crushed between a fixed pressing plate and a pressing plate that swings following an eccentric cam rotated by a motor. Have been. There is no problem if the cans are slowly dropped one by one between the two pressing plates. The machines may push each other and become unable to move, causing only the machine to idle.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 With the conventional machine described above, the watchman was watching the movement of the machine, and if the empty can was caught and it did not drop, the motor had to be stopped, which was inconvenient.

Therefore, the empty can crusher of the present invention is provided with a mechanism that corrects the posture of the next empty can each time the empty can falls so that the empty can is not held at the outlet of the hopper. The aim is to provide an empty can crusher.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the empty can crusher according to the present invention is provided with an eccentric cam driven by a motor in the lower half of the machine frame. The oscillating pressure plate is supported at its lower end by a shaft parallel to the camshaft, and a fixed pressure plate is provided in the machine frame so as to face the sway pressure plate, and is emptied above the fixed pressure plate. A hopper for putting cans is provided, and the left and right sides of the hopper are made of inclined plates that are inclined so as to spread upward from the upper edge of the fixed pressing plate.In the hopper, the upper edge of the wing is an axis parallel to the eccentric cam axis It is provided so as to be swingable to the left and right, and the lower end edge thereof faces the movement path of the swinging pressure plate.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Inside the machine frame 1, fixed pressing plates 2 and 3 for pressing the empty cans A are fixed upright so as to face each other on both left and right sides. An eccentric cam 4 is supported by an eccentric cam shaft 5 between the fixed pressing plates 2 and 3. On the left and right sides of the eccentric cam 4, swing pressing plates 6 and 7, which follow the eccentric cam 4, are supported at their lower ends 8, 9 so as to be swingable by shafts 10, 11 parallel to the eccentric cam shaft 5. A hopper 12 for storing empty cans A from the upper ends of the fixed pressing plates 2 and 3 is provided, and both left and right walls 13 and 14 of the hopper 12 extend upward from upper end edges 15 and 16 of the fixed pressing plates 2 and 3. Leaning. Above the eccentric cam 4, two blades 17, 18 are supported in the hopper 12 so as to be able to swing right and left on shafts 19, 20 whose upper edges are parallel to the eccentric cam shaft 5. The lower end edge of the wing plate 17 faces the movement path of the upper end 21 of the swing pressing plate 6, and when the swing pressing plate 6 approaches the fixed pressing plate 2, the upper end 21 of the swing pressing plate 6 Since the lower end of the wing plate 17 is lifted against the lower end of the wing plate 17, the empty can near the wing plate 17 is slightly lifted, and the empty can is not entangled. Similarly, the lower end edge of the wing plate 18 faces the movement path of the upper end house 22 of the swinging pressure plate 7, and when the swinging pressure plate 7 approaches the fixed pressure plate 3, the upper end 22 of the swinging pressure plate 7. Hits the lower end of the wing plate 18 and lifts the lower end of the wing plate 18, so that the empty can near the wing plate 18 is slightly lifted and the empty can is not entangled. With this arrangement, empty cans can fall smoothly. Reference numeral 23 denotes a tension spring provided between the swinging press plates 6 and 7, and reference numerals 24 and 25 denote containers for receiving the pressed empty cans.

[0007]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, even if a large number of empty cans are thrown into the hopper, the empty cans can be smoothly dropped one by one into the empty can pressing portion. And the structure is simple and can be provided at low cost.

Claims (1)

[Utility model registration claims] An eccentric cam driven by a motor is pivotally supported in the lower half of the machine frame, and a swinging pressure plate which swings right and left following the eccentric cam on both sides of the eccentric cam has a lower end edge thereof cammed. A fixed pressing plate is provided in the machine frame, opposed to the swinging pressing plate, and a hopper for placing empty cans is provided above the fixed pressing plate.The left and right sides of the hopper are fixedly pressed. It is made of an inclined plate inclined so as to spread upward from the upper edge of the plate, and a wing plate is provided in the hopper so that the upper edge is swingable left and right with an axis parallel to the eccentric cam shaft. An empty can crusher characterized in that it faces the movement path of the swinging press plate.
