  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the charging bucket 24 is left in a state where the gravity center position G viewed from the direction of the rotating shaft 30 is located outside the charging port 28 with respect to the vertical line V passing through the rotating shaft 30. And rotated to the outer rotation position and held at the outer rotation position. On the other hand, when the charging bucket 24 is left in a state where the center of gravity position G viewed from the direction of the rotation shaft 30 is positioned inside the charging port 28 with respect to the vertical line V, the charging bucket 24 rotates to the inner rotation position and rotates inward. Held in the moving position.

Next, the positional relationship between the loading bucket 24 and the loading slider 22 will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the charging bucket 24 and the charging slider 22 are rearward when the charging bucket 24 is positioned at the outer rotation position and when the charging bucket 24 is positioned at the inner rotation position. The plate portion 32 and the lower plate 22a of the loading slider 22 are arranged so as to overlap (overlap) at least partially when viewed from above.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the charging bucket 24 and the charging slider 22 are configured such that when the charging bucket 24 is positioned at the outer rotation position, the guide edge 37 of the lower rear plate portion 32 is It arrange | positions so that it may be located in the back | inner side slightly rather than 22 insertion edge 22b.

Next, the effect | action of the dust throwing-in apparatus 1 of embodiment mentioned above is demonstrated.
The following two methods can be used to move the frame portion 27 in the vertical direction. First, the frame portion 27 can be slid in the vertical direction by manually moving the frame operation handle 38 provided on the front surface portion of the frame portion up and down. Alternatively, the operation handle 36 of the charging bucket 24 can be slid up and down.

  And when the frame part 27 exists in an upper end position as shown in FIG. 3, if the insertion bucket 24 is rotated to an outer side rotation position, it will be in the state which can accommodate a dust in the accommodating part 25. FIG. Next, in a state where the dust is accommodated in the accommodating portion 25, the dust can be thrown into the storage device 2 by rotating the charging bucket 24 to the inner rotation position.

  Further, when the frame portion 27 is positioned at the upper end position as shown in FIG. 3 and is moved to the lower end position as shown in FIG. In the middle of moving to the position, the guide edge 37 of the making bucket 24 interferes with the making edge 22 b of the making slider 22. That is, when the frame portion 27 is moved downward from the upper end position, the lower rear plate portion 32 comes into contact with the input edge 22b of the input slider 22 so that the input bucket 24 is moved from the inner rotation position to the outer rotation position. It is configured to rotate.

  And when throwing dust into the storage device 2, the frame part 27 is returned to the upper end position, and then the feeding bucket 24 is turned to the inner turning position.

  According to the above-described embodiment, the frame portion 27 to which the charging bucket 24 is rotatably fixed is movable up and down, so that the elevator 27 and the stairs are installed by moving the frame portion 27 downward. The dust bucket can be accommodated in the accommodating portion 25 by opening and closing the charging bucket 24 without opening. That is, it is possible to provide a dust throwing device that makes it easy for a senior citizen or a wheelchair user to throw dust.

  In addition, since the opening area of the insertion port 28 can be ensured as in the prior art while allowing the input bucket 24 to move to a low position, it becomes possible to input dust having the same size as the conventional case into the accommodating portion 25.

  Further, when the frame portion 27 that is in the upper end position and in which the insertion bucket 24 is in the inner rotation position is moved downward by operating the frame operation handle 38, the lower rear plate portion 32 and the insertion bucket 24 are inserted. Since the charging bucket 24 rotates to the outer rotation position due to the interference with the charging edge 22b of the slider 22, the charging bucket 24 can be opened and closed more easily.

  Further, since the lower rear plate portion 32 of the charging bucket 24 and the lower plate 22a of the charging slider 22 are arranged so as to overlap each other when viewed from above, dust is not spilled when the dust is charged.

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 slide width of the frame portion 27 can be extended by extending the lower rear plate portion 32 of the insertion bucket 24.
Moreover, you may electrify the sliding movement of the frame part 27 up and down using a predetermined electric motor.
Further, the closing bucket 24 can be opened and closed without moving the frame portion 27 in the vertical direction. That is, the closing bucket 24 can be opened and closed at an arbitrary position within the operating range of the vertical slide.
