Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an empty canister that automatically separates and stores aluminum cans and steel cans with a roller having a built-in magnet.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In recent years, the separate collection of aluminum cans and steel cans has been screaming, and in the past, people who put out empty cans as garbage could sort out one can at a time.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the difference between aluminum cans and steel cans in recent years is hard to distinguish from the outside, and the small size of the display helped the sorting process. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an empty can holder that does not require distinction between an aluminum can and a steel can.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is an empty canister, and the structure is as follows. In the upper part of the outer frame (1) of the main body, the charging port (2) and the guide (3) connected to it, the roller (5) that rotates freely around the fixed shaft (4), and the fixed shaft () inside the roller (5). A magnet (6) is provided by being fixed to 4). A partition plate (7) is provided in the center of the lower part of the main body outer frame (1), and an aluminum can storage box (8) and a steel can storage box (9) are provided on both sides of the partition plate.

[0005]

[Action]

 When an empty can is loaded from the loading port (2), the aluminum can and the steel can are sorted by the magnet (6) built in the roller (5), and the aluminum can storage box (8) and the steel can storage box (8) It is accommodated in 9).

[0006]

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. (A) An insertion port (2) is provided on the upper side surface of the main body outer frame (1), and a curved cylindrical guide (3) connected to it is provided at an angle. (B) The lower surface side of the guide (3) is half open, and a roller (5) which can freely rotate around the fixed shaft (4) is provided immediately below the opening. (C) The magnet (6) is fixed to the fixed shaft (4) inside the roller (5) so that the magnet (6) does not move even if the roller (5) rotates. (D) A partition plate (7) is provided in the center of the lower portion of the outer frame (1) of the main body, and an aluminum can storage box (8) and a steel can storage box (9) that can be pulled out are provided on both sides of the partition plate (7). (E) The upper and lower parts of the outer frame (1) of the main body are a snap-in type and can be removed. (F) Constituent members such as the outer frame (1) of the main body, the guide (3) and the roller (5) are preferably made of synthetic resin or the like because the magnet (6) is used.

The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and when using the empty can, it is sufficient to insert an empty can from the insertion port (2). In the case of an aluminum can, the charged empty can does not react with the magnet (6), so it falls through the guide (3) to a position right below and is housed in the aluminum can housing box (8). In the case of a steel can, it rotates with the roller (5) while being attracted by the magnet (6) in the middle of the guide (3), and is carried to the vicinity of the lower end of the roller (5). At the lower end, the steel cans are dropped and housed in the steel can housing box (9) due to the momentum of their rotation and the decrease in the attraction force to move away from the magnets (6).

The pull tabs can be separated as well. In the case of a pull tab made of aluminum, it falls through the guide (3) just like an aluminum can and is stored directly in the aluminum can storage box (8). It is sucked into 6) and remains attached to the roller (5). Since the weight of the pull-tab is small, it cannot cause the roller (5) to rotate, but when the next steel can is dropped and dropped, the pull-tab will be sucked into the steel can and drop at the same time. It is accommodated on the side of the can container (9). This is because steel cans and steel tabs in a magnetic field attract each other.

As an application example, a reduction plate (10) may be provided in the middle of the guide (3). This is because if a steel can or steel pull tab is very vigorously charged from the charging port (2), it may fall off by shaking off the attractive force of the magnet (6). Is. The reduction plate (10) may be made of a soft resin or rubber sheet, and may be hung inside the guide (3). It is advisable to leave a gap at the lower edge so that the pull tab can pass easily.

[0010]

[Effect of the device]

 According to the present invention, an aluminum can and a steel can can be easily separated, which is very convenient and the efficiency of separating and collecting empty cans is improved.
