Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The invention relates to a container entrance/exit shielding device.

In general, a compactor container is constructed by connecting the container to a compactor so that the outlet of the container communicates with the ejection port of the compactor, and allowing the pushing plate of the compactor to enter the inside of the container through the inlet and outlet of the container. The compactor is configured to compress and push the waste placed into the container into the container. In addition, in such a compactor container, when the two are separated, the entrance and exit of the container is closed by a lid plate, and when the two are connected, the lid plate is connected to the front surface of the pusher plate and moves together with the pusher plate. There is usually a space between the container entrance and the lid plate.
A relatively wide gap is provided to prevent waste from becoming trapped.

Therefore, when the container is separated from the compactor, the stored garbage spills out of the gap or is exposed to the outside, resulting in not only unsanitary conditions but also an unsightly appearance.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and solves the above-mentioned conventional problems by providing a shielding member that opens and closes a gap for preventing waste from getting caught, which is formed above the lid plate attached to the entrance/exit of the container. It is an object of the present invention to provide a container entrance/exit shielding device that eliminates the problem.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The configuration of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 is a compactor, 2 is a container, and both are connected together by a well-known lashing device to form the compactor 1.
The outlet A of the container 2 is communicated with the outlet B of the container 2,
The garbage etc. put into the compactor 1 are pushed into the container 2.

Although not shown in detail, the compactor 1 has an extrusion port A at the front of the compactor body, an input port at the front of the compactor, and a hopper connected and fixed to the compactor body above the input port. ,
A pushing plate having an L-shaped cross section is accommodated inside the compactor body so as to be movable back and forth in the front and rear directions.

On the other hand, there is a compactor 1 on the top of the compactor main body.
A guide member 3 that opens a shielding member 14 (described later) in the container 2 when the container 2 is connected to the container 2 is attached so as to protrude. A roller 4 is rotatably supported at the tip of the guide member 3, and its base end is fixed at a fixed position on the compactor body via a mounting bracket.

On the other hand, in the container 2, a gate member 5 constituting a connecting end surface with the container body is pivotally connected at its upper edge so as to be openable and closable. A rectangular entrance/exit is provided in the gate member 5, and the entrance/exit is usually connected to a cover plate 6.
is blocked by. The lid plate 6 is detachably connected to the push plate of the compactor 1 by a locking mechanism (not shown).

Thus, a gap S is formed between the lower surface of the edge frame 5' of the gate member 5 and the upper surface of the lid plate 6 to prevent waste from being caught.

In addition, on the rear side of the upper wall of the container body, there is a
A shaft 8 fixedly supported by a pair of support brackets 7 is provided over almost the entire width, and a plate member 10 with bearings 9 fitted into both ends thereof and fixed to the outer ring is attached to the shaft 8. Rotatably supported.

A plate piece 11 is provided on the side of the plate member 10.
is fixed in a protruding manner, and a reinforcing arm 12 extending downward is also fixed to the rear end surface. A cover 13 made of a relatively rigid synthetic resin plate, metal plate, etc. is installed under the reinforcing arm 12. The cover 13 is for shielding the above-mentioned gap S, and the lower edge of a flexible elastic plate 13' made of neoprene rubber is fixed to the lower end of the cover 13 so as to come into contact with the upper part of the cover plate 6.

And the aforementioned cover 13 and flexible elastic plate 13'
In combination, a shielding member 14 that opens and closes the gap S is configured.

On the other hand, at the upper end of the gate member 5 pivotally attached to the rear part of the container body, and on the side of the plate member 10 described above, the shielding member 14 is securely fixed in the closed position when the compactor 1 and the container 2 are separated. A locking device 15 is provided.

This locking device 15 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. A lashing hook 17 that engages or disengages the lashing pin 16 fixed to the plate member 10 is rotatable around the pin 18. The arm 19, which is pivotally supported and rotates together with the lashing hook 17, has a bell crank which is rotatably supported around a pin 20 which is fixed above the pin 18 via a rod 21. 22 are connected.

The bell crank 23, which rotates together with the bell crank 22, has a second plate piece 25, which is rotatable around a pin 24 fixed to the plate piece 11 via a rod 26, and a bracket 25' fixed in place. is connected to.

Normally, the lashing hook 17 is biased by a spring 27 via the arm 19 in a direction in which the lashing pin 16 is engaged and secured, that is, in a direction in which the shielding member 14 closes the gap S.

Note that the plate piece 11 and the second plate piece 2
5 faces the guide member 3 described above, and when the container 2 is drawn toward the compactor 1, the guide member 3
The roller 4 first contacts the second plate piece 25 and rotates around the pin 24, and when the second plate piece 25 becomes flush with the plate piece 11, the plate piece 11
is fixed to the plate member 10, so that the plate piece 11 and the plate piece 25 rotate around the shaft 8 at the same time.

Therefore, the reinforcing arm 1 is attached to the plate member 10.
The shielding member 14, which is connected via 2, rotates upward.

That is, the second plate piece 25 is the same as the plate piece 1.
1, the rod 26 pulls the bell crank 23 forward, so the bell cranks 23, 22 rotate counterclockwise. At the same time, the arm 19 connected to the bell crank 22 and the rod 21 rotates upward, so the lashing hook 17 separates from the lashing pin 16 against the urging force of the spring 27, and the plate member 10 is removed. It will be opened (position indicated by the one-dot chain line in Figure 3).

Note that the pivot connecting portion between the bracket 25' fixed to the second plate piece 25 and the rod 26 is connected to the second plate piece 25.
When the plate piece 25 is rotated to be flush with the plate piece 11, it is configured to be coaxial with the shaft 8, so even if the plate member 10 is rotated, the locking device 15 remains fixed. The position at which the binding pin 16 is released remains unchanged.

Then, the guide member 3 that rotates the shielding member 14 above the container via the plate piece 11 and the second plate piece 25 passes above the plate piece 11 and the second plate piece 25, and moves the compactor 1 and the container 2. The connection is completed (position indicated by the two-dot chain line in Fig. 3).

The supply of garbage into the container 2 is continued by the lid plate 6 which is integrally secured to the front surface of the push plate of the compactor 1, and when the container 2 is fully loaded, the lid body 6 is attached to the entrance/exit of the gate member 5. When the container 2 and the compactor 1 are unfastened and pressed in a direction away from the compactor 1, the shielding member 14 starts to descend due to its own weight due to separation from the guide member 3. After the shielding member 14 shields the gap S, that is, after the guide member 3 separates from the plate piece 11, the locking device 15 returns and closes the shielding member 14. This is to securely secure it in place.

As described above, in the present invention, the shielding member can be held in a position where the gap is reliably closed by the locking device, so that waste does not spill outside, making it sanitary. In addition, since the shielding member is opened by the separately provided guide member after the locking by the locking device is released, there is no risk of malfunction.
