JPH0597202A - Office building paper trash processing/recovery system - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a processing/recovery system of paper trash from an office building. CONSTITUTION:A carrier pipe 2 of shredded trash is provided throughout the entire floors of a building, while a shredder 3, the discharge port 4 of which is directly connected to the carrier pipe, is provided on each floor, while the lower end of the carrier pipe is connected to an accumulation place 9 in the lowermost floor, and a fixed amount of shredded trash is compressed into a solid material by a compressor 10. There is no need of carrying paper trash in each floor by each person, and human hands required for discarding is drastically simplified, while office environments can be kept clean. Since a shredder is utilized, leakage of classified matter is prevented, and because of the compression and solidification, handling is facilitated, and a storage place can be small.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for treating and collecting a large amount of paper dust generated in office buildings by using a shredder installed on each floor and a transport pipe installed through each floor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the development of office automation equipment such as copy machines and computers, a large amount of paper dust has been generated in offices. Conventionally, paper dust such as unnecessary documents from these offices was simply discarded or tied up with a string as it is, but recently, from the viewpoint of preventing leakage of corporate secrets, shredder is shredded. It is becoming more common to dispose of it after processing it. However, in the past, shredders were installed in individual departments, and the shredded scraps that were processed were only stored in the scrap box that was built into each machine individually. They were once collected in a garbage storage area on the first floor (ground floor or basement), and were then regularly handed over to a collection company.
In this case, every time the shredded waste is full, the bag must be lowered from each floor to the garbage storage area on the lower floor, and it takes time to dispose of it, and the vinyl bag is torn during transportation and the office and aisles are soiled. , There was a problem such as inhaling shredded waste and damaging health. In addition, the plastic bag has a high bulk because it contains a large amount of air due to shreds and is inflated,
The storage required a large storage space. When the shredder is not used, a large amount of documents are bound as they are, which makes the documents heavy and difficult to carry, and there is also a problem in terms of confidentiality.

On the other hand, as for saving labor of transportation,
Conventionally, in high-rise apartments, etc., a system has been used, such as a so-called dust chute, that drops the upper floor garbage directly to the lower floor through a dedicated passage, but this may cause dust to be blocked in the middle of the passage depending on the content of the garbage. There were various problems, such as a loud noise due to the force of the fall, dust scattered on the lower floor, and damage to the equipment itself due to the impact of the fall.

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention is to eliminate the human labor such as transportation and cleaning that occurs when disposing a large amount of paper dust on each floor of an office building, and the scattering and dust of dust on the lower floor. It aims to solve the above issues such as securing storage space.

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, a conveying pipe (2) for conveying shredded waste is provided through each floor of a building, and the pipe is exhausted to each pipe on each floor. A shredder (3) directly connected to the outlet (4) is provided to allow shredded waste to drop directly inside the transport pipe, and at the bottom floor there is a collection site (9) for storing a certain amount of shredded waste. The paper dust processing and recovery system is provided with a compression device (10) for compressing and solidifying shredded waste.

[0006]

[Function] When unnecessary documents are put in the input port (7) of the shredder (3) provided on each floor, the document is shredded by the shredder, and the shredded scraps pass through the transport pipe directly connected to the discharge port (4). Fall downstairs. The shredded debris accumulated in the accumulation place (9) on the bottom floor is compressed by the compression device (10) and solidified automatically when a certain amount is stored, or at any time. At this time, the shredded waste is extremely finely shredded, so it does not get stuck in the middle of the transport pipe, and when it falls, it does not generate a shocking sound due to the fluttering due to the air resistance, and it does not occur in the downstairs. No scattering of dust occurs.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, (1) is an office building, and (2) is a transport pipe penetrating each floor. (3) is a shredder provided on each floor, and each discharge port (4) is directly connected to the transfer pipe so that the shreds (5) can drop downstairs. Transport pipe (2) and shredder (3) are on the wall of each floor
Unnecessary documents provided in the inside of (6) and in the inlet (7) provided on the wall
(8) etc. are put in. (9) is a shredded waste collection station on the bottom floor (1st basement in the figure) with a pipe connected to it.
The compression device (10) compresses and solidifies shreds. The shredded waste that has been compressed and solidified is appropriately stored and collected by a collection company.

The compression device (10) is operated at an arbitrary time, and a sensor or the like is used to detect the accumulation state of shreds and automatically perform compression work when a predetermined amount is accumulated. Good. In addition, a string hooking device (not shown) may be installed side by side to facilitate the handling of solidified shreds, and a more clean environment can be maintained by packing in a plastic bag or the like. it can.

In the above embodiment, the entire system is installed on the wall, but the installation location is arbitrary. Further, it is possible to install it not only in a new building but also in an existing building later.

[0010]

According to the present invention having the above-mentioned structure, it is not necessary to individually transport a large amount of paper dust generated in a high-rise building such as an office building to the lower floor, and the time and effort required for disposal are greatly reduced. At the same time, there is no scattering of dust during transportation, and the office environment can be kept clean. Moreover, since all documents are shredded, confidential information can be prevented from leaking. Furthermore, since the shredded waste is compressed and solidified, it does not require much storage space for dust on the lower floor and is easy to handle. Also, because it handles fine and light shreds, it does not need to have a solid structure like a conventional dust chute, it can be installed easily and at low cost, and noise and dust scattering due to dropping, damage to equipment etc. do not occur. Therefore, various excellent effects can be expected.
