FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of containers and the flow of information when a series of recycling work steps from collection of recycled resources to processing are performed using the recycling container according to the present invention.
[0026]
First, the procedure for installing, collecting and recycling the recycling container will be described.
[0027]
First, a recycling container is installed at a recycling resource discharge place such as cans, bottles, PET bottles, paper packs, etc. (S10), and the recycling resource is put into the recycling container (S20). When collecting the recycling container installed at the discharge site, the recycling container is collected by a forklift and loaded onto a collection and delivery vehicle, and the empty recycling container is unloaded from the collection and delivery vehicle by a forklift and installed at the discharge site ( S30).
[0028]
As described above, the recycling container includes a predetermined number of L-shaped plates 20 that are detachably attached above the pair of front walls and side walls of the container body 10, and the L-shaped plates 20 are joined to each other. By adopting a configuration in which the amount of recycled resources accommodated can be changed by additionally forming a pair of front walls and side walls above (see FIGS. 1 to 3), it is possible to solve the problems associated with the installation space of containers, etc. .
[0029]
Here, when a collection and delivery vehicle used for transporting containers for recycling is 845 cm in length, 247 cm in width, 4 tons in loading capacity, and a vehicle with a flat body, 4 vehicles per vehicle in one operation. It is possible to carry a total of 6 cubic meter recycling containers (24 cubic meters in total). Therefore, it is possible to carry more than 2.4 times the amount of packer cars (9.5 cubic meters) and arm roll cars (10 cubic meters) with 4 tons, thus greatly reducing transportation costs. Can be planned.
[0030]
In addition, even if the collection and delivery vehicle collects resources from multiple destinations in one operation, the resources are collected in the recycling container while being stored in the recycling container for each destination, so the resources for each destination are clearly distinguished. can do.
[0031]
Next, in the recycling factory, the collected recycling container is unloaded from the collection and delivery vehicle by a forklift, and then temporarily stored in the stock yard as it is (S40). The collection and delivery vehicle loaded with empty recycling containers by forklift starts as soon as loading is completed (S50), and repeats installation and collection of recycling containers (S10, S20, S30, S40).
[0032]
As described above, when the above-mentioned recycling containers are used for temporary storage in the stockyard, the containers themselves can be stacked and stored in two or three stages. There is little land for storage and no capital investment in the stock yard is required.
[0033]
Next, the procedure of the recycling process will be described.
[0034]
The recycled resources in the collected recycling container temporarily stored in the stockyard are put into the work hopper using a rotary forklift (S60).
[0035]
As described above, when a recycling forklift is used, the recycling container is applied to the contact portion between the lift claw insertion portion 40 and the lift arm when the recycling container rotates from the horizontal state to about 120 degrees. The structure that prevents damage caused by weighting and twisting at the bottom of the container body 10 is adopted, so recycle of recyclable resources occurs in a series of work processes from collection and storage of recyclable resources to recycling processing. Therefore, work efficiency is improved and it is hygienic.
[0036]
Finally, the recycling resources are sorted, and the recycling resources are stored in a large storage container, for example, a JBOX (Jan box) for each item, and sorted (S70).
[0037]
Here, the recyclable resources subject to separation work are, for example, cans (aluminum / steel), bottles (white bottle / brown bottle / other bottles), plastic bottles, paper packs, combustible foreign matter, non-combustible foreign matter, etc. is there.
[0038]
A method for managing recycling information in conjunction with the above-described procedures for installing, collecting and recycling the recycling container will be described.
[0039]
First, a container number is assigned to each recycling container installed at the discharge location, and the installation location is managed by the container number stored in the information system (computer system) (S110). Further, the number of recycling containers to be collected is calculated from the information system (computer system), and the recycling containers are installed and collected based on the planned number (S120).
[0040]
Next, when the collected recycling container is unloaded from the collection and delivery vehicle by a forklift at the recycling factory (S40), the weight of each container number is weighed by a forklift-mounted measuring instrument, and the storage unit of the information system (computer system) (S130).
[0041]
Further, at the same time when the container for recycling is stored in the stock yard, the number of containers for recycling is increased (S130). In addition, an empty recycling container is loaded onto the collection and delivery vehicle by a forklift, and at the same time, the number of recycling containers in stock is reduced (S140). In this way, the inventory quantity of the recycling container is stored in the storage unit of the information system (computer system).
[0042]
Next, the information system (computer system) manages the progress of each container based on the container number in real time, and when the recycled resources in the collected recycling container are put into the work hopper using a rotary forklift ( S60), and continuously input in units of discharge destinations (S150).
[0043]
Then, after completion of the sorting operation, the weight is weighed for each item by the forklift-mounted weighing device and stored in the storage unit of the information system (computer system) (S160). Thus, as shown in FIG. 6, in the information system (computer system), the discharge destination, date, car number, carrier, driver name, container number, warehousing weight, warehousing time, work start time, work end time, Various information such as worker name and weight by item can be managed as a database.
[0044]
Furthermore, based on various information managed by the information system (computer system), it is possible to perform data feedback by collection destination and collection item of recycled resources adapted to ISO 14000 (see FIG. 7).
[0045]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the recycling container according to the present invention, it is possible to change the shape and capacity of the container by using it in a series of recycling work processes from collection to processing of the recycling resources, so that the container can be installed.
