Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a building waste transport device that can be effectively used for transporting waste, particularly in medium and high-rise buildings.

The most advanced type of transporting equipment for waste inside buildings is one that uses a dust chute, but this type has the following drawbacks.

(a) It is fine if the building is 3 or 4 stories high, but as the building gets higher and higher, the speed of falling garbage gradually increases.
The noise gets louder. For this reason, the dust chute must have a soundproof structure. In addition, a buffer valve must be provided to temporarily reduce the falling speed.

(b) Dirt and sewage adheres to the inside of the dust chute and solidifies, producing a foul odor and deteriorating the environment. Also,
It is also unfavorable from a sanitary standpoint, such as the occurrence of disease-causing insects.

(c) If the dust chute is clogged (futon,
When placing items that are highly elastic, such as blankets or sponges, that expand inside the chute after entering the slot),
Requires a lot of effort to remove.

This invention was made in view of the above points,
The object of the present invention is to provide a building waste transportation device that improves the drawbacks of the above-mentioned dust shoot method.

According to this invention, an elevator shaft containing garbage cages that can be raised and lowered is installed in a building, and an inlet is provided on each floor, and when garbage is to be disposed of, the garbage cages are called up from each floor using a push button or the like and thrown in. When the amount of garbage in the garbage cage reaches a predetermined weight or level, the garbage cage is automatically lowered and the garbage is discharged into a garbage storage device installed at the bottom of the building. This eliminates the need for soundproofing measures and buffer valves, improves hygiene, and prevents garbage from clogging the garbage path.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, an elevator shaft 2 is provided in a building passing through each floor 1.
There is a garbage collection cage 3 inside the elevator shaft 2.
is suspended by a rope 4 and placed in a machine room 5 on the roof.
It can be raised and lowered by a hoisting machine 6 (drive device) installed at the top. A counterweight 30 is suspended from the other end of the rope 4 on the outside of the shaft 2. The elevator shaft 2 is provided with a garbage inlet 7 at each floor. A dust storage and discharge device 9 is installed at the lower end of the elevator shaft 2 on the lowest floor via a dust chute 8.

When throwing in garbage on each floor, call up the garbage collection cage 3 by pressing the push button (not shown) installed near the garbage input port 7, open the lid 7' of the garbage input port, and open the garbage collection cage 3. Insert within 3. When the amount of garbage inside reaches a predetermined weight or level, the garbage collection cage 3 automatically descends to the lowest floor, opens the bottom, and dumps the garbage from the dust chute 8 into the garbage storage and discharge device 9. Discharge. The garbage stored in the garbage storage and discharge device 9 is periodically carried out by a garbage truck 10.

FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the apparatus of FIG. Guide rails 25 and 26 are installed inside the elevator shaft 2, and the garbage collection cage 3 is guided by the guide rails 25 and 26.
can be raised and lowered. The garbage collection cage 3 is suspended by a rope. The rope 4 is wound up by a hoist 6 in a machine room 5, and a counterweight 30 is suspended from one end. In the machine room 5, 11 is a control panel 5 (control device).

The elevator shaft 2 is provided with a garbage inlet 7 at an appropriate height on the wall surface for inputting garbage at each floor. Reference numeral 7' is a garbage inlet port which is normally closed and locked. A signal display panel 12 is provided near the garbage input port 2, and is equipped with a system stop light, a call push button for garbage input (collection cage call means), an arrival light, a direction light, and the like.

As shown in FIG. 3, the garbage collection cage 3 is
It has a capacity to accommodate a certain amount of garbage, is suspended by a rope 4 like a general dumb waiter or an elevator cage, and can be moved up and down within the elevator shaft 2. At the top of the garbage collection cage 3, a garbage inlet 3a corresponding to the garbage inlet 7 on each floor is provided. Also,
The bottom plate 3b (garbage discharge port) of the garbage collection cage 3 can be opened, and by opening this, the garbage inside can be discharged to the storage and discharge device 9.

The opening and closing of the bottom plate 3b is performed by driving a power cylinder or the like (not shown) in response to commands from the control panel 11.

Note that the method of discharging garbage from the garbage collection cage 3 is not limited to the method of opening the bottom plate 3b in one direction as described above, but as shown in FIG.
3b' can be opened on both sides, or the whole structure can be split in half as shown in Figure 4b. A screw 15 is placed at the bottom of the garbage collection cage 3, and this is connected to a motor 16 and a chain 17.
A possible method is to drive the container with the lid 3c and discharge it by opening the lid 3c.

In FIG. 3, the joint between the rope 4 and the garbage collection cage 3 is not shown. Equipped with a load detector (weight sensor). Further, the upper part of the garbage collection cage 3 is equipped with a level gauge 18 (level sensor) that uses infrared rays or the like.
When these sensors detect that the garbage in the garbage collection cage 3 has reached a specified load or a certain level, a command from the control panel 11 will cause the garbage collection cage 3 to move to the lowest floor no matter where it is. The garbage stored in the cage 3 is discharged to a garbage storage and discharge device 9. At this time, the system stop light on the signal display panel 12 is lit, the input port cover 7' is locked, and the cage does not respond to the operation of the call button on each floor. Also, during repairs,
This signal system lights up the system stop light.

As shown in FIG. 1, the garbage storage and discharge device 9 is
This is a so-called mechanical garbage box that accepts and temporarily stores garbage collected in a garbage collection cage 3. As shown in this figure, the screw 20 is moved by a motor 21.
There are two types: a screw type that is driven by a screw to discharge dust from the discharge port 9a, and a rotating drum type that discharges dust while rotating the entire body. A lid 22 is provided on the discharge port 9a. The garbage storage and discharge device 9 has a certain amount of capacity for storing garbage, and when it becomes full,
Secondary transportation is carried out by collection vehicles based on a predetermined secondary transportation plan.

The series of steps for waste discharge with the above configuration is as follows.

When people on each floor come to the garbage inlet 7 with garbage bags in hand to throw away their garbage, they first press the call button on the signal display panel 12. The push button lights up to confirm the call, and at this time the garbage input port 7' is in the closed state. In response to this call, the hoisting machine 6 is operated, the garbage collection cage 3 arrives at the requested floor and is positioned, and when the garbage receptacle 3a and the garbage input port 7 are connected, the garbage inlet cover 7' is locked. is unlocked, and the arrival light on the signal display panel 12 lights up. Only then can the user open the lid 7' and throw in the waste. When the lid 7' is then closed, the garbage collection cage 3 will be raised or lowered in response to a call from another floor. A microcomputer built into the control panel 11 performs a storage function and a judgment function when calls are made at the same time.
When the garbage in the garbage collection cage 3 reaches a certain load or a certain level, the garbage collection cage 3 descends to the lowest floor and discharges the garbage to the garbage storage and discharge device 9 each time. The garbage stored in the garbage storage and discharge device 9 is periodically discharged by a collection vehicle 10.

As explained above, according to the present invention, an elevator shaft containing garbage cages that can be raised and lowered is installed in a building, and an inlet is provided on each floor, and when garbage is to be disposed of, the garbage cages are called up from each floor. When the garbage in the garbage compartment reaches a predetermined weight or level, the garbage cage is automatically lowered and the garbage is discharged into the garbage storage device. In comparison, there are various effects such as:

(1) There is no noise caused by falling debris as with the dust chute type.

(2) No soundproofing measures are required to prevent noise, which saves facilities and is economical.

(3) Adhesion of garbage and sewage in garbage aisles, bad odors,
It can prevent the occurrence of pathogenic insects.

(4) By providing the garbage collection cage with an appropriate capacity, it is possible to respond to calls from each floor without discharging the garbage that has been thrown in one by one into the storage/discharge machine.
It is possible to reduce power consumption and reduce waiting time.

(5) In the case of high-rise buildings, if multiple floors are divided into blocks and collected at specific times, it is possible to further improve the level of service and shorten the travel time (elevating and descending) between all floors. It is also possible.

(6) Accidents such as garbage clogging the garbage aisle will be eliminated.
