Abstract

PURPOSE:To collect heavy refuse and large refuse at the same time in a collecting system between a refuse-producing place and refuse-collecting center by connecting a refuse loading station and the refuse-collecting center by means of an underground common pipe line, and running an unmanned carrier, on which a refuse container is mounted, inside the pipe line. CONSTITUTION:The refuse, which is produced at a hotel or the like, is packed in a small container 17, in an assorted manner, from a throw-in port of a loading station 10. This small container 17 is carried to a common pipe line 60 by a carrying device 20 and loaded on an unmanned carrier 70. At this time, an empty container on the unmanned carrier 70 is unloaded onto the carrying device 20 and sent back to the loading station 10. Next, the unmanned carrier 70 is moved to a collecting center and unloaded at a refuse collecting center. With this constitution, even heavy or large refuse can be collected, without being collected separately.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention provides a method for collecting waste from a waste generation area from a loading station installed at a suitable location in the waste generation area to a place separated from the waste generation area. Concerning a garbage collection system that collects waste at designated collection centers and processes it.

(Prior art) Conventionally, garbage collection systems have been provided in which garbage generated from new towns, etc. is vacuum-collected from collection bases installed at appropriate locations in new towns, etc., to collection centers via transport pipes buried underground. .

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, with the above method, it is not possible to transport heavy garbage that exceeds the vacuum transport capacity or garbage that is larger than the diameter of the transport pipe, and such heavy garbage and large garbage cannot be transported as garbage. There was a problem in that the waste had to be collected separately using a collection vehicle. In addition, vacuum transportation requires equipment such as a blower to be installed at the collection center, and it is necessary to secure a space for installing this equipment. Furthermore, there is a high possibility that corrosion will occur in transport pipes due to long-term use.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The garbage collection system of the present invention is provided in a garbage generation area such as an apartment complex, and includes a loading station that stores garbage from the garbage generation area in a garbage container, and a loading station that stores garbage from the garbage generation area in a garbage container. a collection center that collects and processes garbage transported from the station; a transport device that transports garbage containers between the loading station and collection center and a shared pipe line buried underground; An automated guided vehicle that travels and transports waste containers between a loading station and a collection center via the transport device, and transports waste from the loading station to the collection center by the transport device and the automated guided vehicle. It is something.

(Operation) Garbage generated from garbage-generating areas such as apartment buildings is loaded into garbage containers at a loading station set at an appropriate location in the waste-generating area, and is transported to a collection center by a transport device or an automatic guided vehicle for collection. It is processed.

The automatic guided vehicle 70 is equipped with the small container I7 and is configured to be able to freely transfer the small container 17 between it and the transport device 20.50. circle. As a method for guiding the automatic guided vehicle 70, conventionally known methods such as an electromagnetic induction method, an optical detection method, a metal detection method, and a mark detection method are used.

Next, the operation of the garbage collection system configured as described above will be explained.

Garbage generated in each area of Hotel A, Department Store B, Stadium C, and New Town D is loaded for miscellaneous garbage by type from each input port 12 of the loading station 10 provided in each area. The waste is loaded into the device 11a, the non-burnable garbage loading device 11b, and the kitchen waste loading device 11C. Miscellaneous garbage loading device 1
1a and the non-burnable garbage loading device 11b are compressed by compactors 16 and 16 and packed into each small container 17°17, and the garbage loaded into the kitchen waste loading device 11C is directly packed into the small container I7. be accommodated.

The small container 17 containing the garbage in this way is transported to the common pipe line 60 by the transport device 2 (H), and
The vehicle is loaded onto an automatic guided vehicle 70 that travels inside the vehicle. At this time,
The empty small container 17 mounted on the automatic guided vehicle 70 is unloaded onto the transport device 20 side. Thereafter, the small container 17 containing the garbage is transported to the collection center 30 by the automatic guided vehicle 70 and unloaded onto the transport device 50 of the collection center 30. The small container 17 unloaded onto the transport device 50 is
The garbage in the small container 17 is transported to the reversing loading device 32 in the ground room, and the garbage in the small container 17 is transferred to the hopper 31 by the reversing loading device 32.
Put it in a. The small container 17, which has become empty after the garbage has been put into the hopper 31a, is collected at the loading station 10 by the reverse operation to that described above. In this way, each small container 17 at each loading station IO is transported by the automatic guided vehicle 700.
I will replace them one by one as I drive.

Further, the garbage put into each hopper 31a of the collection center 30 is rolled into each compactor 31.31 and packed into a large container 33 connected to the discharge port of the compactor 31.31. The large container 33 packed with garbage in this way is transferred to an appropriate location in the second storage section 42 or the first storage section 41 by the transfer device 43, and the empty large container 33 is transferred to the compactor 3 by the transfer device 43.
It is transferred and connected to the front of the discharge port side of I. The large container 33 filled with garbage is then loaded into the vehicle 46 from the second storage section 42.

Note that the conveyance device 20.50 is not limited to the mobile conveyor as in this example, but may be any suitable device such as a self-propelled trolley. Further, as the common pipe line 60, it is also possible to use a sewer system, a subway tunnel, etc. in addition to a common ditch. Furthermore, the configuration and layout of the loading station IO and collection center 30 are not limited to this example.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the present invention, even heavy garbage and large garbage can be collected at a collection center without having to be collected separately by a garbage truck, and a common ditch can be used. This makes it possible to reduce equipment costs.
