[0034]   Next, the reversing operation of the dust container 11 by the container reversing device 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. It will be described based on 1.

[0035]   First, while inserting the dust container 11 into the fork 42 of the container holding means 4, in this state When the motor 53 of the elevating means 5 is driven in the The step 4 moves up and down along the guide member 2.

[0036]   Therefore, the raising operation of the container holding means 4 will be described. In the state until the gear 81 meshes with the rack 12, as shown in FIG. The locking claw 62 of the movement preventing means 6 is engaged with the input gear 81 by the spring force of the spring 64. The gear mechanism 8 is prevented from operating. The locking claw 62 and the input gear 8 By engaging with 1, the dust container 11 can be raised without turning such as inverting. Become.

[0037]   Then, the reversing means 3 and the dust container 11 and the like are raised, and the input gear 81 moves to the rack. When it is moved to the vicinity of 12, the sliding contact surface 74 of the sliding member 72 moves as shown in FIG. The reversing means 3 and the like ascend in sliding contact with the guide member 71. And in this state The input gear 81 is not meshed with the rack 12 and the locking claw 62 is The operation of the gear mechanism 8 is blocked while the gear mechanism 8 remains engaged.

[0038]   After that, when the reversing means 3 and the like are further raised, as shown in FIG. Immediately before 1 is engaged with the rack 12, the roller 63 of the locking lever 61 slides. And the locking lever 61 rotates against the spring force of the spring 64 to lock it. The claw 62 is separated from the input gear 81, and the operation preventing means 6 prevents the operation of the reversing means 3 from occurring. It will be canceled. Then, in this state, the reversing means 3 becomes operable, Since the sliding contact surface 74 of the sliding member 72 is in contact with the guide member 71, the input gear 81 , Although the dust container 11 can be rotated in the reverse direction A, it can be rotated in the opposite direction. Has been blocked.

At this time, as shown in FIG. The sliding member 72 also rotates with the rotation of 1. Since the slanted portion 76 is formed, the slanted portion 76 becomes a relief and the guide member 71 It will rotate away from each other.

[0040]   Then, the container holding means 4 is rotated by the rotation of the input gear 81, and The reversing means 3 is stopped and controlled by the limit switch L1, and the dust container 11 is reversed. However, dust will be discharged.

[0041]   On the other hand, when lowering the dust container 11, the reverse operation is performed and When the means 3 is lowered, the input gear 81 meshes with the rack 12 and rotates, and The vessel 11 will return to the original normal posture. Then, the input gear 81 and the rack 12 The sliding contact surface 74 of the sliding member contacts the guide member 71 before the engagement with the Rotation is blocked in the direction opposite to the reversing direction of the dust container 11.

[0042]   After that, the reversing means 3 descends and the engagement between the input gear 81 and the rack 12 is released. Then, the roller 63 of the locking lever 61 separates from the slide rail 13, and the locking claw 62 engages the input gear 81. As a result, the operation of the gear mechanism 8 is blocked and the dust is removed. The container 11 does not rotate and descends in its normal position. Will stop.

[0043]   Therefore, the gear mechanism 8 that meshes with the rack 12 provided on the guide member 2 is provided. The dust container 11 is turned over by the engagement between the rack 12 and the input gear 81. Therefore, the inversion position can be changed depending on the mounting position of the rack 12. With this, the reversal position can be easily changed depending on the location where dust is discharged, thus improving versatility. You can go up.

[0044]   Further, the reversal angle can be changed only by changing the length of the rack 12. It is possible to adjust the reversal angle easily, depending on the contents etc. Different inversion angles can be easily accommodated.

[0045]   Furthermore, since the rack 12 and the gear mechanism 8 are engaged with each other at the time of reversal, there is little play. Since it does not exist, the impact of the dust container 11 can be reduced and the dust can be reliably scattered. In addition to being able to prevent it, noise can be reduced.

[0046]   In the disengaged state of the rack 12 and the input gear 81, the gear machine Since the operation of the structure 8 is blocked, the dust container 11 does not reverse and the reverse operation is performed. You can do your work safely.

[0047]   In the present embodiment, the container holding means 4 has a fork 42. However, the dust container 11 may be sandwiched between them.

[0048]   Further, the present invention is applicable not only to the dust container 11 but also to various containers. is there.

[0049]   Further, the elevating means 5 is not limited to the one provided with the chain 54 and the like. Yes.

[0050]   Further, the input shaft 84 and the output shaft may be directly used.
