Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a can and a bottle crushing-type sorting and collecting apparatus capable of crushing a steel can, an aluminum can, a glass bottle and the like and separating and collecting them.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, environmental protection and reuse of resources have been emphasized, and empty cans, which are discarded in large quantities in daily life,
There is a strong demand for efficient collection of empty bottles. For this reason, various empty cans and empty bottle recovery devices are provided, but these devices consist of a basic structure that crushes the cans or glass bottles placed in the box by using human power, oil pressure, and electric power. However, steel cans and aluminum cans are also provided that are separated using a magnet.

[0003]

By the way, the prior art has the following problems because there is no structure which can crush and separate the can and the glass bottle with one device. First, in order to collect cans and glass bottles separately, it is necessary to install two collection devices, one for cans and the other for glass bottles, which requires equipment costs and installation space. .. Secondly, even if a collecting device dedicated to a can and a glass bottle are installed respectively, the user may accidentally insert the glass bottle into the collecting device dedicated to the can, or vice versa. It is necessary to manually separate the glass pieces.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and it is a can / bottle crushing type separation in which not only a steel can and an aluminum can but also a glass bottle can be crushed and separated by one device. A recovery device is provided.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems The means of the first invention constituted to solve the above-mentioned problems comprises a casing having a can / bottle input port in the upper part and a recovery container removal port in the lower part, Below the can / bottle input port so that the can / bottle can be clamped, the two are arranged in a downward slope at a predetermined distance below, and one of them is fixed to the casing,
The other is provided in the casing having a pair of fixed crush plate and movable crush plate that are pivotally supported by the casing so as to be able to come into contact with and separate from the one, and a pushing lever operable from the outside of the casing. A crushing plate boosting mechanism for rotating the movable crushing plate toward the fixed crushing plate, and fixed to the casing at a predetermined distance obliquely below the fixed crushing plate or the movable crushing plate located below. Crushed can guide plate, a magnet attached to the lower surface of the crushed can guide plate, and a plate body having an aluminum can outlet on the rear side, and the front side through the crushed can guide plate. A steel can flip-up plate whose rear end is axially supported by the casing in a state of facing the magnet, and which stands up in a direction away from the crush can guide plate in association with the operation of the push lever, and a lower part inside the casing. Placed in
A glass piece falling from between the crush plate located below and a crush can guide plate, a crushed aluminum can falling through an aluminum can drop opening, and a crushed steel can bounced down by the steel can lifting plate. To house 3
It consists of individual collection containers.

The means of the second aspect of the invention is capable of holding a casing having a can / bottle input port in the upper part and a collection container output port in the lower part, and a can / bottle below the can / bottle input port. As described above, the upper and lower portions are arranged at a predetermined interval in a rearward and downward inclined shape, and one of them is fixed to the casing, and the other is pivotally supported on the casing so that the other can be brought into contact with and separated from the one. A pair of fixed crush plate and movable crush plate, and a crushing device provided in the casing with a pushing lever operable from the outside of the casing to rotate the movable crush plate toward the fixed crush plate. A plate boosting mechanism, and a crushing can guide plate fixedly installed in the casing at a predetermined distance apart obliquely rearward and rearward of the fixed crushing plate or the movable crushing plate located on the lower side,
A can separating drum, which is located diagonally below and rearward of the crushable can guide plate, is rotatably supported by the casing, and has a plurality of magnets provided on the outer peripheral surface thereof in a circumferentially spaced manner; and the can separating drum. A drum drive mechanism that is provided between the push lever and that rotates the can sorting drum in a predetermined direction in conjunction with the operation of the push lever, and the crushed can guide that is separated from the can sorting drum by a predetermined distance. An aluminum can guide plate arranged below the plate, a steel can separating plate arranged on the opposite side of the aluminum can guide plate in a state of being close to the can separating drum, and arranged below the inside of the casing, A glass piece falling between the crush plate and the crush can guide plate located below, a crushed aluminum can falling between the can sorting drum and an aluminum can guide plate, and guided by the steel can separating plate. Fall Comprising crushing steel can and a three collection container for accommodating the Amblyseius that.

[0008]

The cans and bottles charged into the casing through the can / bottle charging port are sandwiched between the fixed crushing plate and the movable crushing plate that face each other. Then, when the pushing lever is pushed, the movable crush plate approaches the fixed crush plate, and the can / bottle is crushed between the crush plates. The glass pieces of the crushed glass bottle fall from the gap between the lower crushing plate and the crushing can guide plate, and are stored in the glass piece collecting container. The crushed crushed aluminum can slides on the steel can flip-up plate, falls from the aluminum can drop port, and is stored in the aluminum can collecting container. The crushed steel can is magnetically attached to the steel can jump plate due to the attraction force of the magnet. Then, when the next can or bottle is thrown in and the push lever is operated, the steel can lifting plate stands up, and the steel can is lifted against the suction force and dropped into the steel can collection container. ..

Further, in the second invention, the steel can and the aluminum can that are crushed in the same manner as in the first invention are guided by the crush can guide plate and fall on the can sorting drum,
The aluminum can immediately falls into the aluminum can collection container through the gap between the can sorting drum and the aluminum can guide plate. On the other hand, the steel can is once attracted to the magnet of the can sorting drum, but when the push lever is operated again and the can sorting drum rotates, it is separated from the drum by the steel can separating plate and falls into the steel can collecting container. To do.

Then, when the fixed crush plate and the movable crush plate crush the steel can and the aluminum can, the punch and the die type are fitted to each other to punch and form a steel and aluminum medal. The medals fall into the medal discharge path and are discharged from the medal discharge port to the outside of the casing.
