At the same time, a garbage storage and discharge machine is installed on a specific floor of this building, and an elevator (elevating means) is installed in the passageway built vertically across each of these floors. Appropriate transport device (transport means) for transporting the dust container along the transport path formed between the input sections and between the elevator and the dust storage and discharge machine.
was provided, and was configured such that a transport device transports the dust container along the transport path of each floor, and an elevator transports the dust container between a required floor and a specific floor.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the above-mentioned conventional garbage processing system, when the dust container is transported by the transport means, even if the dust container shifts from the transport path due to vibrations such as earthquakes or interference with surrounding equipment, etc. Since the dust container continues to be transported in a misaligned state, the dust container may not be properly set in the input section or the garbage storage/discharge machine. For this reason, there is a risk that the garbage thrown in from the input port may not be properly stored in the dust container and fall onto the floor of the input section, or that the garbage storage and discharge device cannot discharge the garbage.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The dust container transport control device in the garbage processing system of the present invention is capable of transporting dust containers placed in an input section facing an input port formed on a required floor of a building, and an installed dust storage and discharge machine, a lifting means installed in a passageway extending from the lowest floor to each floor to raise and lower the dust container, and a space between the lifting means and the input section and between the lifting means and the dust storage and discharge. A transport means for transporting the dust container along a transport path formed between the machines, the dust container loaded with garbage is transported to the dust storage and discharge machine via the transport means and the elevating means, and the dust is discharged. In a garbage processing system that transports a dust container that has been used or another empty dust container to the original input section via a lifting means and a transport means, the system is disposed close to the transport path and corrects the shift when the dust container deviates from the transport path. It has a detection device that detects the dust container, and a timer that presets the transport time necessary for the transport means to transport the dust container along the transport path, and when the transport time set in the timer has elapsed or the detection The apparatus includes a control device that stops transporting the dust container by the transporting means when the device detects a shift of the dust container.

(Function) When discharging the garbage stored in the dust container placed on the required floor to the garbage storage and discharge machine, the dust container from which the garbage is to be discharged is conveyed from the input section to the lifting means along the conveyance path by the conveyance means. Then, the dust container is moved by the lifting means to the floor where the dust storage and discharge machine is installed. Thereafter, the dust container is transported by the transport means from the lifting means to the dust storage and discharge machine along the transport path. After discharging the dust, the dust container is returned to its original floor by performing the reverse operation. During the transportation of the dust container by this transportation means, when the transportation time set on the timer has elapsed or when a shift of the dust container is detected by the detection device, the control device stops the transportation of the dust container by the transportation device. .

The opening/closing door 42 of the car 41 and the opening/closing door 31 of the entrance/exit 3a of the passage 3 are opened, and the traveling cart 45 is moved to the car 41.
It is made to run from there to the input section 1a. As a result, the traveling carriage 45 is placed below the dust container 2 as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. At this time, the cable 49 connected to the traveling trolley 45
is pulled by the traveling trolley 45 as it travels to the input section 1a,
As the lifting pulley 62 moves up along the guide member 61, the cable 49 is smoothly sent out from the car 41.

Thereafter, the rollers 48 of the traveling carriage 45 are raised to the raised position by the lift device, and the dust container 2 is lifted from the mounting member 11 by supporting the dust container 2 with the rollers 48. Then, with the dust container 2 placed on the rollers 48 of the traveling truck 45, the traveling truck 45 is driven back into the car 41. At this time, the cable 49 is smoothly pulled back to the car 41 as the lifting pulley 62 descends along the guide member 61.

In this way, while the traveling cart 45 carrying the dust container 2 is housed in the car 41,
(see Figure 3). and,
The opening/closing door 42 of the car 41 and the opening/closing door 31 of the entrance/exit 3a on the lowest floor of the passage 3 are opened, and the traveling cart 45 is run and placed close to the roller conveyor 52 (see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 3). Thereafter, the rollers 48 of the traveling truck 45 and the roller conveyor 52 are driven to convey the dust container 2 from above the rollers 48 onto the roller conveyor 52 and to the reversing and loading device 51. The reversing/feeding device 51 lifts the dust container 2 upward and inverts it, and discharges the dust in the dust container 2 to the dust storage/discharge machine 5. and,
When the dust in the dust container 2 is discharged, the dust container 2 is placed on the rollers 48 of the traveling trolley 45 and returned to the car 41 by the reverse operation to the above, and the dust container 2 transports the car 41. The traveling trolley 45 is moved from the car 41 to the loading section 1a on that floor, and the traveling trolley 4

Here, the dust container 2 is transported on the transport paths 7 and 8 by the above-mentioned traveling cart 45 and roller conveyor 52.
During transportation, if the dust container 2 deviates laterally from the transportation paths 7 and 8, the photoelectric sensor 9 detects this and outputs this detection signal to the control device 100. As a result, the control device 100 stops the traveling of the traveling carriage 45 and the driving of the roller conveyor 52. In addition, when transporting the dust container 2, the control device 100 also controls the traveling trolley 4 when the transport time set in advance by the timer 110 has elapsed.
5 and the driving of the roller conveyor 52 is stopped. Then, at the same time as the transport of the dust container 2 is stopped, the control device 100 issues an alarm signal to the alarm device 120 and activates the alarm device 120.

Note that the photoelectric sensor 9 of this example is used as a detection device.
It is not limited to.

Further, in this example, the garbage storage and discharge machine 5 is installed on the lowest floor, but the garbage storage and discharge machine 5 is not limited to the lowest floor, but may be installed on any floor.

Furthermore, in this example, a traveling trolley 45 is used as a conveying means.
Although a combination of the traveling cart 45 and the roller conveyor 52 is used, the conveying means is not limited to this.

Furthermore, in this example, the roller conveyor 52
may be a suitable conveying device such as a belt conveyor,
In addition, when the reversing loading device 51 is installed close to the passage 3, the traveling trolley 45
This makes it possible to transport the dust container 2 at any time, eliminating the need for a transport device such as the roller conveyor 52.

Further, in this example, the reversing and charging device 51 is used to discharge the dust from the dust container 2 to the dust storage and discharging machine 5, but the reversing and charging device 51 is not limited to this, and various conventionally known devices may be used.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, according to the invention, when the dust container is transported along each transport route by the transport means, the dust container is removed from the transport route due to vibrations such as earthquakes or interference with surrounding equipment. If the dust container shifts, the detection device detects this shift and stops the transport of the dust container by the transport means, which prevents the dust container from falling to the side of the transport path and is safe. It is possible to prevent the garbage disposal system from being disposed in a shifted state in the input section or the garbage storage/discharge machine, and it is possible to operate this garbage treatment system in a good condition. Moreover, since the conveyance of the dust container by the conveyance means is stopped even when the conveyance time set by the timer has elapsed, safety can be further improved.
