The present invention relates to a waste conveyance device that conveys waste.

[Prior art] Conventionally, containers for storing waste have been installed on the ground or downstairs, and the required number (for example, 10 to 30 containers) has been installed.
(stands) are arranged side by side. When dumping waste in containers arranged in this way,
Dumpers would go to the container installation site and dump the waste directly into the container, and when the container was full, they would dump the waste into other empty containers. Once all the containers were full of waste, a dedicated waste disposal worker would transport them to a designated location, ready to load the waste onto a waste collection vehicle.

In addition, if a waste input port is installed on the upper floor of a building, etc., and multiple containers are installed on the lower floor, a chute is connected from the upper floor to the lower floor.
Waste was thrown into the container through this chute. When the container located under the chute's outlet becomes full of waste, a waste disposal specialist will manually remove the full container from under the chute's outlet and replace it with an empty container. was located.

[Problem that the invention aims to solve] By the way, if the dumper goes to the location where the container is installed and dumps the waste directly into the container, this is not such a problem, but especially if the waste is placed on the upper floors of a building, etc. When a waste inlet is provided and waste is thrown into a container provided downstairs via a chute, the following problems occur.

Since the waste input port is provided on the upper floor and the container is provided on the lower floor, the dumper cannot grasp the amount of waste loaded in the container.
Therefore, it is necessary to monitor that the container under the outlet of the chute is filled with waste.
There was a problem that observers and monitoring equipment were required at all times.

In particular, when a supervisor was assigned, the work would be carried out in poor conditions, and there was a problem in that they would have to carry out the simple task of replacing 10 to 30 containers.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a waste conveying device in which when a container under the outlet of a chute is fully loaded with waste, it is automatically replaced with a waiting empty container. The purpose is to

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a waste input port provided on the upper floor of a building, etc., and a method for transferring the waste input into the input port to the bottom floor. A waste conveying device comprising: a chute for transporting waste to a container; and a plurality of containers provided downstairs and sequentially positioned below the discharge port of the chute and facing the discharge port; A container is provided between a container located below and allows light to pass across the top surface of the container, and when the light is blocked for a predetermined set time or more, the container is fully loaded with waste. A fullness detection means consisting of a photoelectric level switch detects that the container is full, and a fullness signal from the fullness detection means is used to sequentially remove the full container from below the discharge port of the chute, and replace it with an empty one waiting for the full container. The container is equipped with a container transfer means for positioning the container, and a lateral linear chevron cover that is stretched between the adjacent containers and guides the waste falling from the chute into the container. .

[Function] Constructed as described above, the fullness detection means detects that the container located under the discharge port of the chute is fully loaded with waste, and the container transfer means detects the waste from the detection means. In response to the signal, the full container is removed from under the discharge port of the chute, and a waiting empty container is placed in its place, and a plurality of containers are sequentially positioned under the discharge port of the chute facing this. The container is automatically transported after loading.

[Examples] Examples of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a waste conveying device 1 of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, a waste input port 3 for inputting waste 2 is provided on the upper floor of a building or the like. A chute 4 for transporting the waste 2 downstairs is provided below the waste inlet 3, passing through the upper floor and hanging down toward the downstairs. Multiple containers 5 are installed downstairs.
It is provided with casters 7 so as to be movable so as to be sequentially positioned under the discharge port 6 of the chute 4 facing thereto. Below the discharge port 6 of the chute 4, the waste 2 is thrown into the container 5 located below the discharge port 6 from the chute 4, and a fullness detection means 8 is provided for detecting that the container 5 is fully loaded.
is provided. This fullness detection means 8 is located at a height between the lower end of the chute 4 and the upper part of the container 5, and is formed by, for example, a photoelectric level switch provided on both sides of the container 5 as shown in FIG. ing. Further, the plurality of containers 5 are installed in series so that their longitudinal direction becomes the running direction (depending on the location where the containers 5 are installed,
(provided in series so that the longitudinal direction is perpendicular to the running direction). A floor pit 9 is formed inside the caster 7 directly below these containers 5, and a container transfer means 10 is provided in this floor pit 9.
is provided. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, this container transfer means 10 includes an endless traction chain 11 stretched along containers 5 arranged in series, and a longitudinally intermediate portion of this traction chain 11. and a drive device 12 for driving this. The container 5 is engaged with the container transfer means 10 by inserting pin members 13 into the traction chain 11 from above, as shown in FIG. This container transfer means 10 is configured such that when a container 5 located below the discharge port 6 of the chute 4 is fully loaded with waste 2, a photoelectric level switch serving as a fullness detection means 8 is blocked by the waste 2. The information is transmitted from the fullness detection means 8 to the drive device 12 and driven. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the container 5 is provided with a striker 14 projecting laterally. Furthermore, a limit switch 15 is attached to the floor fixed side. Then, the full container 5 is transferred from below the discharge port 6 of the chute 4 by the container transfer means 10.
When the empty container 5 is moved out and a waiting empty container 5 is placed in its place, the striker 14 strikes a limit switch 15, thereby stopping the container transfer means 10. Guide members 16 for preventing the containers 5 from meandering are provided along the floor on both sides of the running position of the casters 7 of the plurality of containers 5 moved by the container transfer means 10.

As a measure against the waste 2 being dumped during the movement of the containers 5, chevron covers 24 are attached between adjacent containers 5 as shown in FIG.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment of the waste conveying device 1 of the present invention constructed as described above will be described.

Waste 2 thrown in from a waste inlet 3 provided on the upper floor of a building or the like is conveyed to the lower floor via a chute 4. The waste 2 transported downstairs is loaded into an empty container 5 located below the discharge port 6 in the chute 4. This container 5 contains waste 2
When the container 5 is full, the volume increases in a mountain shape above the container 5. Then, the waste 2 is filled with the fullness detection means 8.
This will block the photoelectric level switch.
When the waste 2 interrupts the photoelectric level switch for a predetermined set time (OFF time is 30 to 60 seconds), a signal is sent to the drive device 12 of the container transfer means 10 by a timer operation. That is, even if the photoelectric level switch is momentarily interrupted when the waste 2 falls, no signal is transmitted. The drive device 12 operates in response to a signal from the photoelectric level switch, and the traction chain 11
When the container 5 is rotated, a plurality of containers 5 each engaged with the container 5 by the pin member 13 move simultaneously. Then, when the container 5 fully loaded with waste 2 is removed from below the discharge port 6 of the chute 4 and a waiting empty container 5 is placed in its place, the striker 1 equipped on the empty container 5 is removed.
4 is a limit switch 15 provided on the fixed side
, thereby causing the drive device 12 of the container transfer means 10 to stop. At this time, all the containers 5 stop at the same time. After that, repeat the above operations one after another until all containers 5 are filled with waste 2.
When the waste disposal facility becomes full, a waste disposal manager will come and dispose of the waste. FIG. 6 is a flowchart representing the above steps. As shown in the figure, when the last container 5 is positioned below the discharge port 6 of the chute 4 and the limit switch 15 is activated, a completion signal is sent to the center monitoring board in the monitoring room.

In this way, until all the containers 5 are fully loaded with waste 2, the waste 2 will be automatically transported, and the container transport, which was previously done manually, will be automated. is achieved, and the dumper can also use the waste input port 3 without worrying about the amount of waste 2 in the container 5 below the discharge port 6 of the chute 4.
The waste material 2 can be put into the container.
In addition, a container 5 located below the chute 4
When the containers are replaced, the thrown waste is guided into the next empty container 5 by the chevron cover 24 stretched between the adjacent containers 5, so it is not disposed of through the gap between the containers 5. Not only is there no need to worry about objects scattering, waste can be continuously thrown in even while the container 5 is being transferred.

7 and 8 show a second embodiment of the waste conveying device 1 of the present invention.

In the second embodiment, the container transfer means 10 in the first embodiment is provided in an upright position above the floor. This container transfer means 10
The drive device 12 is fixedly installed on the floor and drives the traction chain 11 using a chain drive method. The traction chain 11 and the container 5 are engaged as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B and FIG. 10, for example. As shown in the figure, an arm 17 is attached to the container 5. A support fitting 18 is attached to the front of the arm 17 in the running direction.
The traction chain 11 is engaged with the pin member 19. Further, a container pusher 20 designed to push the container 5 is engaged with a pin member 19 at the rear of the arm 17 in the running direction. In addition, FIG. 11 shows the container pusher 20.
This figure shows a modification in which the hinge member 21 is used to form the hinge member 21.

The effects of the second embodiment are similar to those of the first embodiment.

Furthermore, FIGS. 12, 13, and 14 show a third embodiment of the waste conveying device 1 of the present invention.

In the third embodiment, a plurality of containers 5 are arranged in series such that their longitudinal directions are perpendicular to the traveling direction. A series of traction chains 11 of a container transfer means 10 for moving these containers 5 are provided, each standing up above the floor along both sides of the container 5 in the traveling direction. A drive device 1 that drives these traction chains 11
