DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sorting trash can, and more particularly to a sorting trash can which can be installed in a store or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, living environment facilities are in short supply due to rapid economic growth in the 1930s.
After the enactment of various waste disposal laws, especially recently, the Waste Management Law was revised and the Recycling Law was enacted, requiring citizens to separate and discharge waste (referred to as garbage).

[0003] For this reason, garbage discharged from each home or business office is collected and stored at one station, which is called an open station system or a bunker station system. Separation trash cans have been installed there. In addition, a garbage collection box, that is, a garbage bin for sorting, has been installed at a store such as a supermarket, and a recycling station for receiving recycled garbage brought by visitors has also been installed.

By the way, one example of a very common trash can is a trash can body composed of a rectangular bottomed container, an upper cover for covering the main body, and a middle container (also referred to as a pail) housed in the main body. ) And a plastic bag locked by the mouth of the inner container (for example, Utility Model Registration No. 250).
No. 2139).

[0005] In one example of a general separation trash box, a plurality of types of input ports (also referred to as trash input ports) dedicated to separated trash are provided on the upper lid or the front wall of the main body (referred to also as trash input ports). For example, see JP-A-7-323901, JP-A-62-13902, and the like.

[0006] The middle container or the plastic bag is put in and out of the trash box main body by opening the top cover, the side or the front wall (for example, the above-mentioned utility model registration No. 25021).
39, JP-A-60-148702, etc.).

[0007]

However, when a conventional general trash can is installed at a store (of course, in a station yard or a bus stop) as described above, the trash inlet is provided with an opening dedicated to the separated trash. The problem is that the garbage owner or the consumer who purchased the garbage cannot specially push the garbage into the middle container, which in turn reduces the garbage storage efficiency of the middle container. was there.

For this reason, the trash can manager (store employee) increases the number of trash collections, or takes out the middle container by opening the front or side wall, and packs the trash, or opens the top cover and packs garbage. Needed.

[0009] Therefore, the work of stuffing garbage in a conventional general-purpose garbage bin with a middle container has been troublesome and requires bending down to take out the middle container.

[0010] In a conventional general trash box, an inlet having a shape dedicated to the separated trash is formed integrally with the front or top cover of the trash box main body, and cannot be changed in advance.
Even if the amount of sorted garbage is large or small depending on the location of the trash can, it does not correspond to that, and the garbage storage efficiency of the middle container is reduced.

Further, in a general separation garbage bin having a garbage inlet opening on the front wall, the garbage is opened in the horizontal direction, so that the garbage can be thrown in horizontally while holding the garbage. Garbage gets caught on the edge of
There was a possibility that trash could not be smoothly put.

Further, in the case where the dust inlet is opened in the horizontal upper lid (for example, see the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-323901), rainwater flows in if it is installed outdoors, so that the rainwater lid is further closed. It had to be provided.

Therefore, the present invention provides a trash can operator with
The main purpose is to improve the garbage storage efficiency of the sorting trash box with a middle container, and to make it easier for a trash input user to input trash.

[0014]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the gist of the present invention is to provide a separation container in which a middle container for storing input garbage is housed in a garbage box body having a rectangular bottomed container. In the trash can, the top cover of the trash can body is
In addition to being configured to be inclined forward and downward, an inlet dedicated to sorted garbage provided in the upper lid is formed in a short tube shape, and the bottom of the short tube is made longer in the axial direction than the top of the tube. It is in the trash can.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an embodiment of FIG. 1, (A) is a plan view, (B) is a front view, and FIG. 4 is a main part plan view of FIG. 3, FIG. 5 is another main part view of FIG. 3, (A) is a plan view, and (B) is a cross sectional view of (A) from A to arrow. , (C) is (A)
6, FIG. 6 is a front view of a part of which is omitted in FIG. 1, FIG. 7 is a plan view of FIG. 6, and FIG. 8 is a sectional view of a principal part of FIG.

First, an overall outline of the sorting trash box 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The sorting trash box 1 is preferably installed in a convenience store (convenience store), and the trash box main body 2 is made of steel by sheet metal processing, the middle container 3, the upper lid 4, the charging member 5, and the like. The plastic bag retainer 29 is made of plastic such as ABS, PE, PP, etc. by injection molding. Of course, the trash box main body 2 may be made of plastic such as FRP (however, without an ashtray). For example, in the case of a two-tank type, the dimensions are 45 liters with a rear wall height of 970 mm, a depth of 410 mm, a width of 650 mm, a height of the middle container 3 of 600 mm, a depth of 275 mm, and a width of 335 mm in the case of the two-tank type. .

Therefore, in view of these dimensions, the sorting trash can 1 can be said to be a small sorting trash can for the public.

As shown in FIG. 1, the two-tank type means one trash box main body 2 in which two middle containers 3 are stored. It is also possible to store one middle container 3 in the trash box main body 2, and furthermore, as shown in FIG.
It is also possible to use a set type or a three-set type in which three are arranged side by side.

The sorting trash box 1 has an upper cover 4
Ashtray 6 for convenience to consumers,
The garbage bin 2 is curved gradually from the upper side to the front, and has a rounded shape, and in combination with the outward roundness of the front door 7 of the trash box main body 2, the design or appearance is improved.

In particular, in order to achieve the above object, the sorting trash box 1 is constituted by a front door 7 which allows the front wall of the trash box main body 2 to be able to slide horizontally, and the upper lid 4 to be able to slide upward. As a so-called full-open type, the inner container 3
This makes it easier to get in and out and pack trash.

The upper lid 4 is provided with a loading port member 5 having a specially shaped dust loading port 21 such as a bottle, a can, a plastic bottle or the like, which is color-coded as necessary, and is detachably provided. The above objective has been achieved.

Next, the sorting trash box 1 will be described in detail by dividing it into a "trash box main body 2", a "top cover 4", an "input port member 5" and a "medium container 3".

The "garbage box main body 2" is particularly shown in FIGS.
As shown in the figure, the container is made of a rectangular container with a bottom, and the upper surface and the front surface thereof can be opened to provide an upper lid 4 and a front door 7. It is composed of a strip-shaped folded piece 8, which is used as a contact surface of the upper lid 4 and the front door 7 and as a reinforcing rib.

The front door 7 and one of the side walls 9 are connected by a hinge (not shown) so that the front door 7 can slide in the horizontal direction. The front door 7 and the other side wall 10 are not shown. They are connected by a key lock. The front door 7 is provided with a handle 11 as shown in FIG.

The trash can body 2 of this rectangular bottomed container has
The height of the front wall, that is, the front door 7 is reduced to 660 mm with respect to the rear wall 12 having a height of 970 mm, and the upper opening is opened at a forward downward slope (about 40 °).

Also, on the upper inside of the rear part of the trash box main body 2,
An ashtray mounting frame 14 for mounting an ashtray pot 13 described later is provided.

The "top cover 4" is particularly shown in FIGS.
When closed as shown in the figure, the front is inclined downward, and the whole is formed of a gentle curved plate, and in the center thereof, a large-sized shallow plate portion 16 having a slope 15 extending all around is formed,
A pair of square sheet metal punched holes (210 m
m □) 17, 17 are open.

At the rear of the upper lid 4, there is formed an ash removing strainer 19 having a slope 18 over the entire circumference.

The rear end of the upper cover 4 is connected to the upper end of the rear wall 12 of the trash box main body 2 by a hinge (not shown), and is opened upward by sliding.

At the front end of the upper lid 4, there is provided a locking portion 20 having a cross section L formed by sheet metal processing. On the other hand, since the front door 7 is closed after the upper lid 4 is closed, the locking portion 20 is pressed by the front door 7 so that the upper lid 4 does not open unless the front door 7 is opened. ing. Therefore, the upper lid 4 is not opened even if the garbage is forced into or out of the dedicated garbage inlet 21 described later.

An ash receiving pot 13 is detachably provided directly below the ash dropping strainer 19.

The “inlet member 5” is particularly shown in FIGS.
A large-diameter inlet portion 23 having a flange 22 provided therearound as shown in FIG.
And a short cylindrical dust inlet 21 having a small-diameter outlet portion 24. Therefore, the dust inlet 21 is a hopper-shaped dust inlet 21 so that dust can be smoothly fed. And
The shape of the large-diameter inlet portion 23 and the small-diameter outlet portion 24 is formed in accordance with the shape of the separated dust.

For example, in the case of FIG.
90mmφ, a short cylindrical body with a diameter of 140mmφ at the outlet, and is configured as a trash input port 21 exclusively for PET bottles.
As shown in the right end of FIG. 2, if the inlet is for a combustible material, it is provided with a flange 22 of the same size as this, and the width of the inlet is 200 mm
× 190mm height, 190mm width at outlet × 110 height
mm.

Therefore, since the dust inlet 21 is provided with the flange 22 having the same dimensions, the dust inlet 21 can be commonly mounted on any of the sheet metal punching holes 17 of the upper cover 4, and depends on the place where the sorting trash box 1 is installed. In addition, the input port member 5 can be appropriately attached at the installation location according to the amount of each sort of dust.

On the back surface of the flange 22 of the inlet member 5, hooking claws 25, 25,.
The upper lid 4 can be fitted into a locking hole (not shown) of the shallow plate portion 16. Of course, the input port member 5 and the upper lid 4 may be screwed from the back surface with screws (not shown).

The two-dot chain line in FIG. 4 shows a state where the flange 22 of the charging member 5 is overlapped with the upper lid 4. Therefore, in order to attach the charging port member 5 to the sheet metal punching hole 17 of the upper lid 4, the flange 22 may be placed on the peripheral upper surface and fixed with the hooking claw 25.

When the charging port member 5 is attached to the closed upper lid 4 at the bottom of the short cylindrical pipe of the dust charging port 21,
A small angle exit 2
4 prevents rainwater from flowing into the interior.

The "middle container 3" is a deep rectangular parallelepiped bottomed container as shown in FIGS. 1, 6, 7 and 8, in particular.
The upper opening 26 is a normal garbage bin having a folded part for handling (particularly a large depth in the front-rear direction) 27. One garbage main body 2 can accommodate two middle containers 3. And therefore the trash can body 2
For the rectangular bottomed container, the middle container 3 is formed of a rectangular parallelepiped bottomed container, thereby eliminating the dead space inside the trash box main body 2 as much as possible to improve the garbage storage efficiency.

A rising piece 28 is continuously provided on the upper surface of the opening edge of the upper opening 26, and a pair of plastic bag holders 29, 29 are attached to the rising piece 28 so as to be able to undulate. When it is defeated, it is located inside.

At the front and rear sides of the rising piece 28, mounting recesses 30, 30 bent inward are formed, and the mounting recesses 30 are provided with head-supporting pivots integrally provided at both ends of a plastic bag retainer 29. A pin 31 is rotatably inserted.

For this reason, both ends of the plastic bag retainer 29 are also slightly bent so as to match the mounting recess 30. The plastic bag retainer 29 is formed of a U-shaped band, and
The gap between the plastic bag 8 and the plastic bag holder 29 and the gap 32 between the plastic bag holder 29 and the upper surface of the opening edge of the upper opening 26 are set so as to sandwich the opening of the plastic bag (not shown).

Since the sorting trash box 1 is as described above,
The effect will be outlined.

The sorting trash box 1 is installed on the wall of a building such as under the eaves of a convenience store. The visitor of the convenience store separates the garbage and puts the garbage into a predetermined garbage inlet 21 from a horizontal direction. At that time, the upper lid 4 is inclined forward and downward,
Moreover, since the short cylindrical dust inlet 21 has a pipe bottom longer in the axial direction than the pipe top and has a hopper-like shape, the dust is placed on the dust inlet 21 once. If you push it in, you can put it in easily.

Therefore, the dust inlet 21 is not an upper lid type or a front type, but can be called an upper front dust inlet in between. In particular, the bottom of the tube serves as a guide for garbage to facilitate the charging operation.

Next, the trash can handler handles the trash
When the garbage is found overflowing from above, the front door 7 is opened, and then the upper lid 4 is opened, so that the middle container 3 can be fully viewed from the upper part to the front part. We can identify room.

If there is room, the trash can handler packs the garbage, but the stuffing is done by slightly tilting the middle container 3 forward because the top and front of the middle container 3 are open. You can push hard.

Then, at the regular garbage collection time,
Open the front door 7 and the top cover 4 and take out the plastic bag. In the case of taking out the inner container 3 itself without the plastic bag, the upper part and the front part with respect to the inner container 3 are opened, so that the worker is in a comfortable posture, for example, does not lean forward, and It can be taken out while slightly sliding on the bottom plate.

The plastic bag is not limited to a polyethylene bag but refers to a general garbage bag. Further, the upper lid 4 and the front door 7 may be provided integrally, and these may be slid upward.

[0051]

According to the present invention, the input port having a dedicated shape for the separated trash is provided on the upper lid inclined forward and downward, and is formed in the shape of a short tube, so that the trash is temporarily placed on the bottom of the short tube. After that, it can be pushed in, and the loading operation can be made easier.
