Description

  The present invention relates to a dust throwing device that throws dust into a rotary drum type storage machine, and a dust storage system including the dust throwing device.

In a housing complex such as a condominium, there is a case in which a storage device is provided for temporarily storing the dust from each household until the garbage truck comes to collect it.
As this type of storage device, there is known a rotary drum type storage device that compresses and stores dust put into the drum toward the discharge port side by rotation of the drum.
In this rotary drum type storage machine, a discharge port is arranged at a height corresponding to the receiving port of the garbage collection vehicle, and an input port through which the user inputs dust is arranged on the opposite side to this discharge port. Has been.
Garbage thrown in by the user through the slot is introduced into the drum by sliding down diagonally through the slider, and is compressed and stored in the drum toward the outlet, and then collected through the outlet. Delivered to the car.
In such a rotary drum type storage machine, the installation level of the storage machine is determined based on the height of the discharge port that delivers the dust to the garbage collection vehicle, so the input port position is relatively high. , It was difficult for short people to throw in garbage.
For this reason, raising and lowering a pedestal, a staircase, and the like toward the insertion port is performed (for example, see Patent Document 1).
Also, in order to make it easy for even a short person to throw in the dust, after receiving the dust at a relatively low position, it is transported upward by the power of a motor or the like, and turned into the storage device's inlet. The thing provided with the injection | throwing-in apparatus is proposed (for example, refer patent document 2).

Japanese Patent No. 4251638 Japanese Patent No. 4345923

However, if a platform or staircase is provided, rising and falling is a burden for the elderly, and for wheelchair users, it is difficult to access the entrance due to the platform and staircase being in the way. There is a problem of becoming.
Furthermore, when a charging device that transports the dust upward is provided, although dust can be charged at a low position, the configuration of the device becomes complicated and the cost increases, and the device becomes larger and the degree of freedom in installing the storage device is increased. There is a problem that it decreases.

  In addition, in order to smoothly slide the above-mentioned dust into the storage device, it is necessary to make a sufficient inclination angle of the slider. However, in the case of the above-mentioned rotary drum storage device, Since a leakage prevention mechanism that prevents leakage of odors and odors is arranged, simply trying to lower the position of the inlet makes it difficult to secure the tilt angle of the slider because the leakage prevention mechanism gets in the way End up.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the insertion port is arranged at a low position without increasing the cost of the apparatus and increasing the degree of freedom of installation. However, the present invention provides a dust throwing device and a dust storage system that can easily throw dust.

In order to solve the above problems, the following configuration is adopted.
A dust throwing device according to the present invention is a dust throwing device capable of throwing dust into a rotary drum type storage device through a throwing port, and has a receiving part capable of receiving the dust, An opening that allows the dust to be received by opening the insertion port by positioning the receiving unit outside the insertion port by being attached to the first support portion via a first rotation shaft along the lower side. A lid portion that is rotatable between a position and a closed position that closes the charging port by disposing the receiving portion inside the charging port; and It has a plate part to which a lower part is attached to the second support part via a second rotation shaft arranged on the inner side and on the lower side, and the upper part of the plate part is turned on the first rotation shaft by the second rotation part. toward the inner side of the inlet by the plate portion by close than the shaft Dust and inclined position inclined surface extending towards is formed by an upper portion of the plate portion serving as the second rotation axis side spaced apart the plate portion stands in posture from the first pivot axis A chute part that can rotate between a drop position that causes the storage unit to fall to the storage device side, and when the lid part is rotated to an open position, the chute part is rotated to an inclined position, and the lid part And a link mechanism for rotating the chute portion to the fall position when the lens is rotated to the closed position.
In this way, for example, after the lid portion is rotated to the open position and dust is received in the receiving portion, the lid portion is rotated to the closed position, so that the open position and the closed position are being rotated. When the dust moves to the chute due to the inclination of the lid, and the lid is further rotated to the closed position side, the upper part of the chute is separated from the first rotation axis and the inclination angle of the chute rises gradually. Therefore, when the inclination angle is sufficient to drop the dust to the storage side, the dust falls to the storage side. Therefore, by placing the input port at a position lower than the conventional one, for example, by placing a slider for input while avoiding a leakage prevention mechanism that prevents leakage of dirt and the like, the inclination angle of the slider is sufficient. Even if it cannot be obtained, the dust can be reliably dropped to the storage device side.
Furthermore, when the chute part is rotated to the drop position, the posture rises with a steep slope, so that dust can be prevented from staying in the chute part.
In addition, since the chute can be rotated from the inclined position to the falling position, there is no need to slide down the dust using a fixed slider that extends to the inlet, so the slider can be miniaturized to the minimum necessary. it can.

Furthermore, the dust throwing-in apparatus of this invention WHEREIN: When the said lid part is turned to the said open position in the said dust throwing-in apparatus, you may make it rotate to a position below a horizontal position.
In this way, when the lid portion is rotated to the open position, the lid portion can be disposed at a lower position, so that the user lifts the dust when receiving the dust in the receiving portion. The height is lower, and the burden on the user can be further reduced.

Furthermore, the dust throwing-in device of the present invention is the above-described dust throwing-in device, wherein the link mechanism delays the start of the chute when the lid is turned from the open position to the closed position. Means may be provided.
In this way, when moving the dust from the lid to the chute, it is possible to prevent the chute from starting rotating before the dust moves from the lid to the chute. It can be moved to the reservoir side.

Moreover, the dust storage system of this invention is provided with the dust throwing-in apparatus of the said this invention, and a rotary drum type dust storage machine.
In this way, the height position of the inlet can be lowered even in the case of a rotary drum type storage machine in which it is difficult to lower the height of the inlet, in particular. Can be used more comfortably.

  According to the dust throwing device and the dust storage system provided with the dust throwing device according to the present invention, the position of the throwing port is arranged at a position lower than the conventional one, and a leakage prevention mechanism for preventing leakage of sewage and the like Even when the chute is arranged so as to avoid the situation, when the lid is rotated from the open position to the closed position, the chute rotates from the inclined position to the drop position, and the dust is moved to the storage side at the drop position. Since the inclination angle is sufficient for dropping, the dust can be reliably dropped to the storage side. Therefore, it is possible to use an elderly person or a wheelchair because it is possible to omit the lifting platform and the stairs, etc. by arranging the insertion port at a low position while preventing the increase in cost due to the complexity of the apparatus and the reduction in the degree of freedom of installation. It becomes possible for a person to throw in dust easily.

In the following description, in the axial direction of the storage main body 3, the side on which the dust g is discharged is simply referred to as the discharge side, and the side on which the dust g is input is simply referred to as the input side.

  An electric motor 7 having an output shaft 8 parallel to the axis of the storage body 3 is attached to the discharge side of the horizontal frame portion 5, and a pulley 9 attached to the shaft end of the output shaft 8 of the electric motor 7 A belt 11 is wound around the outer periphery of the inclined portion 10 formed on the discharge side of the storage main body portion 3. By operating the electric motor 7, the rotational power is transmitted to the storage main body 3 through the belt 11 and the storage main body 3 is rotated. In addition, although the case where the electric motor 7 and the storage main-body part 3 were linked | coupled via the belt 11 was demonstrated, the storage main-body part 3 is rotationally driven by linking the electric motor 7 and the storage main-body part 3 using a gear mechanism. You may do it.

  A push-in mechanism such as a spiral wing (not shown) is provided inside the storage main body 3, and when the storage main body 3 is rotated in a predetermined compression direction by the push-in mechanism, the storage main body 3 The dust g put in the inside of 3 is pushed in the discharge direction and compressed.

  The horizontal frame 5 is provided with a leg 12 projecting downward, and the installation level (height from the floor) of the storage device 2 can be adjusted by changing the length of the leg 12. It has become. Usually, the installation level of the storage device 2 is set such that the discharge port 13 of the storage device 2 has a height corresponding to the receiving port 14 of the garbage collection vehicle 15, and more specifically, the waste collection vehicle from the discharge port 13. The height is set so that the dust g can be smoothly delivered to the 15 inlets 14.

A vertical frame portion 16 extending vertically upward is erected at an end portion on the discharge side of the horizontal frame portion 5, and the discharge port 13 of the storage main body portion 3 is supported at a substantially vertical center of the vertical frame portion 16. Yes. Further, the vertical frame portion 16 is provided with an outlet opening / closing mechanism 17 that opens and closes the discharge port 13 by an electric motor, a hydraulic cylinder, and the like, and the dust g discharged from the discharge port 13 is slid to the reception port 14 of the dust collection vehicle 15. A slider 18 for dropping is attached.
According to the above-described configuration, in a state where the receiving port 14 of the garbage collection vehicle 15 is disposed at an appropriate position with respect to the slider 18, the electric motor 7 is driven to rotate the storage main body 3, and the outlet opening / closing mechanism 17. When the discharge port 13 is opened, the dust g stored in the storage main body 3 and compressed to the discharge side is forcibly discharged from the discharge port 13, slides down the slider 18, and the dust collection vehicle 15. It will be introduced into the receiving port 14.

  The storage device 2 is disposed so that a wall portion 20 of a structure such as a building is adjacent to the input side of the storage main body portion 3, and a substantially rectangular hole 20 a is formed in the wall portion 20. The garbage throwing device 1 having the throwing port 21 is attached to the hole 20a. A charging slider 22 having a predetermined inclination angle is attached from the dust charging device 1 toward the lower inside of the storage device 2, and its lower end faces the storage main body 3.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the dust throwing device 1 in this embodiment, FIG. 3 is a side view when the lid portion 26 is in the open position, and FIG. 4 is a side view when the lid portion 26 is in the closed position. FIG. 5 is a side view when the lid portion 26 is in the intermediate position, and FIG. 6 is a front view when the lid portion 26 is in the closed position.
As shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, a bracket 23a is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the hole 20a formed in the wall portion 20, and a frame portion 23b that forms the peripheral wall of the insertion port 21 is attached to the bracket 23a by a screw or the like. It is fixed. Projection portions 23e and 23f projecting from the upper side and the lower side of the insertion port 21 toward the discharge side are formed on the inner surface of the frame portion 23b, and the insertion port 21 is extended between the projections 23e and 23f. A pair of support members 23c extending along the left side and the right side are attached. The first support portion 24 on the lower outer side of the support member 23c is covered with a first rotation shaft 25 along the lower side of the input port 21 (in other words, provided substantially in the vicinity of the lower end of the input port 21). The part 26 is rotatably attached. A cushion rubber c is attached to the protruding portion 23e as a cushioning material for the chute 30 described later.

  A support member 28 that is substantially parallel to the support member 23 c is provided on the inner side of the input port 21 with respect to the first support portion 24, and a second support near the lower wall of the input slider 22 is provided below the support member 28. A portion 27 is arranged, and a base portion of the chute portion 30 is rotatably attached to the second support portion 27 via a second rotation shaft 29 substantially parallel to the first rotation shaft 25. That is, the second rotation shaft 29 is disposed on the inner side and the lower side of the insertion port 21 with respect to the first rotation shaft 25. It should be noted that the frame portion 23b above the insertion port 21 determines whether or not the dust g is allowed to be thrown in and can be put into a state based on the detection result of a sensor (not shown) provided on the throwing slider 22. A notification device 23d for notifying the user of the above is attached.

  The lid portion 26 is supported by the first support portion 24 via the first rotation shaft 25, thereby opening the insertion port 21 (see FIG. 3) and closing position for closing the insertion port 21. (See FIG. 4).

  More specifically, the lid portion 26 includes a bottom plate portion 33 that is substantially horizontal at the open position, a pair of left and right side plate portions 35 that rise from the left and right edges of the bottom plate portion 33, and a side plate that rises from the front side of the bottom plate portion 33. The front plate portion 34 having a substantially band shape disposed between the portions 35, and the bottom plate portion 33, the side plate portion 35, and the front plate portion 34 form a receiving portion 32 that can receive the dust g. It is configured. The bottom plate portion 33 is formed so as to gradually increase in thickness toward the first rotation shaft 25, and is formed so as to gradually increase in thickness toward the front plate portion 34, whereby the bottom plate The inner surface of the portion 33 has a substantially concave curved surface in a side view.

  An operation handle portion 36 for rotating the lid portion 26 is attached to the outer surface of the bottom plate portion 33 in the vicinity of the front plate portion 34. Thus, by arranging the operation handle portion 36 at a position separated from the first rotation shaft 25, the lid portion 26 can be opened and closed with a smaller operating force. The shape of the operation handle portion 36 shown in FIGS. 2 to 6 is an example, and is limited to the shape of the operation handle portion 36 shown in FIGS. 2 to 6 as long as the lid portion 26 can be rotated. It is not a thing.

Here, referring to FIG. 3, when the lid portion 26 is in the open position, the receiving portion 32 is positioned outside the insertion port 21 and the receiving portion 32 faces upward. As a result, the dust g can be received in the receiving portion 32.
On the other hand, referring to FIG. 4, when the lid portion 26 is in the closed position, the receiving portion 32 of the lid portion 26 is positioned inside the insertion port 21 (inside the outer edge of the insertion port 21), and the receiving portion 32 is The standing posture is directed to the inside of the insertion port 21.

The chute part 30 is configured to include a flat plate part 30 a, and the lower part of the chute part 30, which is the base side of the plate part 30 a, is supported by the second support part 27 via the second rotation shaft 29. Thus, the inclined position where the upper part of the chute part 30 which is the end part side of the plate part 30a is disposed close to the first rotating shaft 25, and the upper part of the chute part 30 are separated from the first rotating shaft 25 and are disposed of. It is possible to rotate between the drop position where g is dropped to the storage device 2 side.
The chute 30 is extended at an inclination angle of about 45 degrees with the base side of the plate part 30a being the lower side in the inclined position shown in FIG. 3, while the plate part 30a is 90 degrees in the falling position shown in FIG. In other words, the dust g received at the inclined position can be dropped into the storage main body 3 by rotating from the inclined position to the dropping position. .

  The lid portion 26 and the chute portion 30 are linked by a link member 42 on the left and right side portions. More specifically, the link member 42 is spanned between the upper end portion of the chute portion 30 and the side plate portion 35 of the lid portion 26, and the connection portion of the upper end portion of the chute portion 30 and the side plate of the lid portion 26. The connecting portion of the portion 35 is rotatably supported via a rotation shaft 45 substantially parallel to the first rotation shaft 25. When the lid part 26 is rotated to the open position by the link member 42, the chute part 30 is rotated to the inclined position, and when the lid part 26 is rotated to the closed position, the chute part 30 is rotated. Is rotated to the drop position.

  When the link member 42 is rotated from the open position to the closed position, the link member 42 does not start the rotation of the chute unit 30 to an intermediate position where the inclination angle of the cover unit 26 reaches a predetermined angle exceeding 45 degrees. Delay means 42a for delaying the delay time. This is because when the end of the chute 30 is moved away from the first rotation shaft 25 substantially simultaneously with the start of the rotation of the lid 26 from the open position to the closed position, the chute 30 and the lid This is because there is a possibility that a gap is generated between the portion 26 and the dust g is caught. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5, the delay unit 42a rotates the chute 30 so that the dust g is smoothly and reliably delivered from the receiving part 32 of the lid part 26 to the plate part 30a of the chute part 30. The operation start timing is delayed.

  The delay means 42a allows the link member 42 to be expanded and contracted by a predetermined length according to the delay time, and more specifically, the link member until the lid portion 26 is rotated from the open position to the intermediate position. By contracting 42, the force due to the rotation of the lid portion 26 is not transmitted to the chute portion 30 via the link member 42, in other words, due to the rotation of the lid portion 26 on the closed position side of the intermediate position. The force is applied to the chute 30 via the link member 42. As the delay means, various methods can be used. In addition to a configuration in which the link member 42 can be expanded and contracted, for example, a long hole is formed in the support portion 43 so that the rotation shaft 45 can be slid. You may make it do.

  A holding mechanism h having a lock member r that is biased downward and can be retracted is attached to the projecting portion 23 f disposed on the upper side of the insertion port 21. The lid portion 26 is formed with a recess 50 at a position facing the holding mechanism h when the lid portion 26 is in the closed position, and the lock member r enters the recess 50 so that the lid portion 26 opens. It is regulated to shift to

  The holding mechanism h releases the holding of the lid portion 26 at the closed position by the operation of the switch s, while holding the lid portion 26 at the closed position can be held without operating the switch s. Yes. More specifically, by rotating the lid portion 26 to the closed position, the inclined surface of the lock member r is pressed by the end portion (front plate portion 34) of the lid portion 26 and shifted upward to enter the recess 50. By being immersed, the rotation of the lid portion 26 is restricted, and the lid portion 26 is held at the closed position. In addition, when the cover part 26 is rotated to the open position, the cover part 26 is held at the open position by its own weight.

FIG. 7 shows a case where a conventional dust throwing device is used, and FIG. 8 shows a case where the dust throwing device 1 of the present embodiment is used.
As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, inside the storage main body portion 3 of the rotary drum type storage device 2, the outer peripheral wall of the rotating storage main body portion 3 is directly below the loading slider 22, in other words, Between the non-rotating rear wall, a leakage prevention mechanism 47 including an overflow wall that prevents the spill from leaking to the outside and a sealing mechanism that prevents odor from leaking to the outside is disposed. In the conventional case shown in FIG. 7, it is necessary to provide the insertion port 121 at such a height that the insertion slider 122 can avoid the leakage prevention mechanism 47 while setting the insertion slider 122 to 45 degrees or more.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, in the dust throwing device 1 of the present embodiment, the second rotation shaft 29 that rotates the chute portion 30 is more than the first rotation shaft 25 that rotates the lid portion 26. The chute part 30 is inclined when the dust g is thrown into the storage main body part 3 by being arranged on the inner side and the lower side of the inlet part 21 and the end side of the chute part 30 is changed from the outer side to the inner side of the inlet part 21. The angle can be changed to a steep angle. That is, the dust g can be thrown into the storage main body 3 without setting the tilt angle of the throwing slider 22 as steep as that of the conventional throwing slider 122, and therefore the position h1 of the throwing port 21 from the floor level FL. Can be made lower than the position h2 of the conventional inlet 121.

  In FIG. 8, the position of the loading slider 122 when a conventional loading device is provided at the position of the loading port 21 of the present embodiment is indicated by a broken line. As can be seen from the position of the loading slider 122 shown in FIG. 8, if the inclination angle of the loading slider 122 is to be secured, the loading slider 122 interferes with the leakage preventing mechanism 47, while the leakage preventing mechanism 47. If it is attempted to avoid the interference, the charging slider 122 cannot be set to an inclination angle sufficient to slide down the dust g.

  Therefore, according to the dust throwing device 1 and the dust storage system 100 in the above-described embodiment, after the lid 26 is rotated to the open position and the dust g is received in the receiving portion 32, the lid 26 is turned to the closed position. By moving, the dust g moves on the chute 30 due to the inclination of the lid 26 at an intermediate position in the middle of the rotation between the open position and the closed position, and further when the lid 26 is rotated to the closed position side, Since the upper part of the chute part 30 is separated from the first rotation shaft 25 and the inclination angle of the chute part 30 gradually rises, when the inclination angle is sufficient to drop the dust g to the storage device 2 side, The dust g will fall to the storage device 2 side. As a result, when the position of the insertion port 21 is arranged at a position lower than the conventional position and the introduction slider 22 is arranged avoiding the leakage prevention mechanism 47, the inclination angle of the introduction slider 22 cannot be obtained sufficiently. However, the dust g can be reliably dropped to the storage device 2 side.

Furthermore, when the chute part 30 is rotated to the fall position, the standing position rises with a steep inclination, so that the dust g can be prevented from staying in the chute part 30.
Further, since the chute portion 30 can be rotated from the inclined position to the dropping position, it is not necessary to slide the dust g using the fixed insertion slider 22 extended to the insertion port 21. Miniaturization is possible to the minimum necessary.

  When the dust g is moved from the lid part 26 to the chute part 30 by the delay means 42a, the chute part 30 can be prevented from starting rotating before the dust g moves from the lid part 26 to the chute part 30. Therefore, the dust g can be smoothly moved to the storage device 2 side.

In addition, this invention is not restricted to the structure of embodiment mentioned above, A design change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary.
For example, the opening / closing speed of the lid portion 26 may be limited by a damper, and further, an opening / closing operation may be assisted by energizing the lid portion 26 using an elastic member such as a gas damper. good. By doing in this way, while being able to operate the cover part 26 easily, the cover part 26 can be opened or closed with less force, so the burden on the user when throwing the dust g is reduced. be able to.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the lid 26 is rotated to the open position and the outer surface is rotated to a position that is substantially horizontal has been described as an example. However, as in the modification illustrated in FIG. Further, it may be rotated to a position lower than the horizontal position HL (for example, about 15 degrees). With this configuration, when the dust g is thrown in, the height at which the user lifts the dust g becomes lower, and the burden on the user can be further reduced.
