Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sorting garbage truck for sorting and collecting garbage such as empty cans and bottles according to a specified type, and sorting and discharging.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Household waste and business waste are roughly classified into combustible waste, incombustible waste, empty cans, empty bottles, dry batteries, and other waste. Many of these recyclable resource wastes such as empty cans and bottles are collected and reused.

[0003] In each municipality, in order to collect resource waste efficiently, there is a tendency that a waste treatment system that separates and discharges the waste and collects it separately is adopted. The garbage truck used in this system is provided with a storage box for storing a large amount of dust and a loading box for loading a small amount of dust into the storage box from the rear of the vehicle body. The loading box has a built-in loading device that conveys the dust input from the outside to the storage box by pressing or the like.

Various kinds of garbage that are separated and discharged from homes and the like are collectively collected in a storage box of a garbage truck. Garbage transported to the garbage processing center by the garbage truck is discharged from the storage box. This discharge is performed by dumping the storage box to the rear of the vehicle body. The discharged waste is divided into reusable resource waste and non-reusable waste. Further, the separated resource wastes are further finely separated into aluminum cans, steel cans, etc., and collected respectively.

[0005]

A large amount of garbage is collected in the garbage processing center by the garbage truck, and the work of separating the resource garbage from this garbage and the work of finely separating the separated resource garbage are many. It requires a lot of people, labor and time, and is inefficient.

[0006] Further, it is usual that the operation of inserting the dust into the input box at the rear of the storage box of the garbage collection vehicle and the operation of discharging the waste from the storage box are performed using the space behind the vehicle body. However, the space behind the vehicle body is a blind spot from the driver's seat of the garbage truck, and there is a risk that the driver may accidentally drive the garbage truck during the operation of throwing in the garbage.

The object of the present invention is to separate various kinds of waste such as reusable resource waste such as empty cans and bottles into finely classified, efficiently and safely separately collected and separately discharged. To provide a garbage truck.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, there is provided a garbage storage box whose interior is divided into a plurality of separation collection chambers by partition walls parallel to the vehicle width direction, and each separation collection chamber below one side wall of the storage box. It corresponds to a plurality of lids that can be opened and closed at each of the plurality of waste discharge ports formed in the above, a lid drive mechanism that independently drives the plurality of lids to open and close, and a plurality of separate collection chambers of the storage box. Having a plurality of trash input hopper parts, is installed movably up and down along one side wall of the storage box opposite to the waste discharge port, and an input box that can be inverted on the storage box at its upper limit position, A loading box drive mechanism for vertically moving the loading box along the storage box side wall and reciprocally reversing on the storage box at its upper limit position,
The above object is achieved by a structure provided with a dump mechanism for dumping the storage box on one side opposite to the input box so that the dust discharge port of the storage box faces downward.

[0009]

According to the sorting garbage truck of the present invention, dust is sorted from the outside into a plurality of hoppers of a throw-in box, and the throw-in box is moved up and down along a side wall opposite to the dust discharge port of the storage box. At the upper limit position, the dust collected in the hopper portion after being turned over to the dust storage box is dropped into the corresponding separation collection chamber and the waste is separately collected. When the storage box is dumped to the side and the lid of the separate collection chamber is selectively opened, only the waste in the separate collection chamber with the open lid is discharged, and the waste in the separate collection chamber with the lid closed is discharged. Since the waste remains without being collected, the collected waste is separated and discharged.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 4 has a rectangular storage box (1) for separately storing waste (not shown) on a loading platform (12) of a vehicle body (11). Storage box (1)
The interior of is divided into a plurality of separate collection chambers (3) by partition walls (2) parallel to the vehicle width direction. The partition walls (2) are, for example, three at regular intervals, and thereby four parallel separation collection chambers (3) are formed in the storage box (1).

One waste discharge port (4) is provided at the lower part of one side wall of the storage box (1), for example, at the lower part of the side wall (1a) on the right side of the vehicle body (11) at each separate collection chamber (3). Are formed (see FIG. 7). Each dust outlet (4) is of a size that allows the dust contained in the separate collection chamber (3) to be easily discharged.

A lid (5) for appropriately closing the dust discharge port (4) is installed at each dust discharge port (4) so as to be openable and closable. Each lid (5) is connected to the lower part of the dust outlet (4) via a hinge (13),
Rotate up and down around the hinge (13) to open and close the dust outlet (4). As shown in FIG. 4, when the lid body (5) is in the closed position closing the dust discharge port (4), the lid body (5) is
Is locked to the right side wall (1a) of the storage box (1) by an electromagnetic lock (not shown) or the like.

Each of the four lids (5) is connected to four independent lid drive mechanisms (6) to independently open and close. As shown in FIG. 4, the lid drive mechanism (6) includes a hydraulic cylinder (14) attached to the lower surface of the storage box (1).

The storage box (1) is arranged between a pair of opposed vertical walls (15) and (16) which are vertically fixed in front of and behind the luggage carrier (12). The storage box (1) is mounted on the loading platform (12) by the dump mechanism (10) so that it can be dumped on the right side of the vehicle body (11). As shown in FIG. 4, the dump mechanism (10) includes a hydraulic hoisting cylinder (17) arranged between the storage box (1) and the loading platform (12).

The input box (7) moves up and down along the left side wall (1b) of the storage box (1) when not dumped, and
It is arranged on the right side at the upper limit position B so as to be capable of reciprocal reciprocating movement of about 180 °. The input box (7) has four hopper parts (8) corresponding to the four separate collection chambers (3) of the storage box (1). The hopper parts (8) are partitioned by a wide partition wall (18) and arranged in a line.

The loading box (7) can be moved up and down with a constant stroke using a column (19) fixed to the left side of the vertical walls (15) and (16) as a guide, and can be stopped at any position. The input box (7) moves up and down at the lower limit position A and the upper limit position B with the hopper (8) facing upward. The input box (7) is locked at each of the lower limit position A and the upper limit position B by an interlock device or the like. At the lower limit position A, dust such as empty bottles is sorted and thrown into each hopper section (8) of the throwing box (7).
At the upper limit position B, the input box (7) rotates 180 ° to the left side reversal position C on the storage box (1) about the pivot axis (20). By this reversal, the hopper (8) of the input box (7) is turned upside down, and the dust contained in the hopper (8) falls into the corresponding separate collection chamber (3) of the storage box (1). . In addition, it is desirable to equip the inner surface with a cushioning material or the like in order to prevent a sound generated when dust falls from the popper portion (8).

Vertical movement and reversal movement of the input box (7) are performed by an original input box drive mechanism (9). The input box drive mechanism (9) is installed so as to be vertically movable on, for example, a power cylinder (21) for vertically moving the input box shown by a chain line in FIG. 2 and a pair of front and rear vertical walls (15) (16) shown in FIG. And a cylinder (23) as a drive source thereof.

The power cylinder (21) is arranged between the storage box (1) and the loading platform (12), and when actuated, simultaneously moves up and down both ends of the charging box (7) via a chain (not shown). The four-bar crank mechanism (22) reciprocally rotates the input box (7) 180 degrees left and right by the operation of the cylinder (23).

Further, a dust input port (24) is formed on the left side portion of the storage box (1), and the dust of the input box (7) inverted from the dust input port (24) to the storage box (1). Fall into the separate collection room (3). The top plate (1c) is fixed to a portion of the storage box (1) excluding the dust inlet (24). With the top plate (1c) and the input box (7) that closes the dust input port (24),
The odor in the separate collection room (3) is prevented from leaking to the outside.

The storage box (1) is also provided with a bottom plate (1d) which is inclined so that the right side is lower. The dust thrown into the separate collection chamber (3) from the dust input port (24) slides smoothly on the slanted bottom plate (1d) to the dust discharge port (4), and on average into the separate collection chamber (3). Be accommodated. When the dust contains water, it is desirable to form a drainage hole in the lower part of the bottom plate (1d) and arrange the waste water collection container under the drainage hole, although not shown.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, in each of the separate collection chambers (3) of the storage box (1), the contained dust is immediately dumped into the storage box (1) on the right side. It is desirable to fix the baffle (25) so that it does not move. The reason will be described later.

The lid drive mechanism (6) and the input box drive mechanism (9) can be driven by remote control or from the driver's seat.
The lid operation panel (26) and the input box operation panel (27) are installed in 6) and these operations are performed.

Next, a description will be given of an example of the separate collection operation of the waste by the separate collection truck of the above embodiment.

Since there are four separate collection chambers in the storage box (1), there are four types of waste that can be collected separately. A specific case of separately collecting empty bottles will be described.

There are various empty bins such as a transparent bin and a colored bin, and the colored bin can be reproduced only to the bin of the same color. Therefore, in the case of separately collecting four types of bottles of a white type glass bottle, a brown type glass bottle, a black type glass bottle, and a blue mixed type glass bottle, it is performed as follows.

With the loading box (7) locked at the lower limit position A, a bin collecting operator visually sorts the bins and loads them into the corresponding hoppers (8) of the loading box (7). In order not to make a mistake in this sorting input, each hopper section (8) of the input box (7) and each sorting collection chamber (3) section of the storage box (1) are color-coded or a sorting mark is specified. Is desirable. A peep window may be formed at a part of each separation collection chamber (3) of the storage box (1) so that the inside of the separation collection chamber (3) can be seen.

When the bin is put into the loading box (7) to some extent, the loading box (7) is unlocked, and the bins shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 5, the input box (7) is raised to the upper limit position B and then inverted. Then, the bottles of each hopper (8) are dropped and supplied to the corresponding separate collection chamber (3) of the storage box (1). At this time, the thickness of the partition wall (18) of the hopper (8)
If the thickness is set larger than the thickness of the partition wall (2) of the separate collection chamber (3), there is a risk that the bottle falling from the hopper (8) may accidentally fall into the room next to the corresponding separate collection chamber (3). There is no.

When one bin sorting and collection is completed as described above, the input box (7) is inverted to the upper limit position B and then lowered to the lower limit position A and locked.

The bin sorting and collection work described above is performed on a plaza or a road. When bin sorting collection work is performed on a road where left-hand drive is restricted, the bin (7) is on the left side of the vehicle body (11), so collection work can be performed without disturbing the travel of other vehicles.
Work becomes easy. Further, since the collection work can be observed from the driver's seat with a rearview mirror or the like, the collection work can be safely carried out. When the bin of the separation collection chamber (3) with the storage box (1) reaches a specified amount, the input box (7) is locked at the inverted position C on the storage box (1), and the separation garbage truck is trashed. Drive to the processing center.

When a collection container (28) for collecting various kinds of bins for each type is installed in the waste processing center, the sorting waste collection vehicle is stopped in front of one collection container (28). Then, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the charging box (7) is reversed to the upper limit position B and locked so that the charging box (7) does not interfere with the dump of the storage box (1). After confirming that the input box (7) is locked at the upper limit position B by lighting a lamp in the driver's seat or the like to confirm safety, the storage box (1) is displayed as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. To dump.

After dumping the storage box (1), only the lid (5) of the separation collection chamber (3) containing the bottle to be discharged is opened. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when only the lid (5) in the front row of the storage box (1) is opened, the bins stored in the sorting collection chamber (3) in the front row are self-weighted from the waste discharge port (4). Is discharged in
It falls into the collection container (28). At this time, if the opened lid (5) functions as a bottle discharge chute, the bottles can be separated and discharged easily. If guide plates are attached to both sides of the open lid (5) to prevent the bottle from spilling laterally, the bottle will drop exactly into the intended collecting container (28).

Even if the storage box (1) is dumped, the lid (5)
The bottle of the separate collection chamber (3) which is closed remains in the separate collection chamber (3) without being discharged. The remaining bins are prevented from moving to the right side by the baffle plate (25) of the sorting chamber (3), and the weight of the storage box (1) is not largely biased to the right side. The weight balance of the collection vehicle is kept stable. Further, even if the weight of the storage box (1) is largely biased to the right side, the input box (7) on the left side acts as a weight balancer for the vehicle body, and the weight balance of the separated garbage collection vehicle is stably maintained. .

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but the loading box (7) is attached to the right side of the vehicle body (11) so that the vehicle body (1
The storage box (1) may be dumped on the left side of (1).

A dust discharge port (4) and a lid (5) are provided on both side walls of the storage box (1), and a pair of input boxes (7) are arranged on both sides of the storage box (1) so that they can be turned upside down. And storage box (1)
It is also possible to install the bins on both sides so that the garbage can be separately loaded and discharged from either side of the storage box (1).

Further, each hopper section (8) of the input box (7)
May be divided and moved up and down and inverted with respect to the storage box (1) independently of each other.

Furthermore, the throw-in box (7) can be attached to and detached from the vehicle body (11), and a person who disposes of the throw-in box (7) at a road edge or the like, which does not obstruct road traffic, sorts it and separates it into the hopper section. It is arranged so as to be put into (8), and at the time of collection, the throw-in box (7) in which dust is thrown is moved to a sorting waste collection vehicle by a waste collection worker, and this is put in the upper limit of the storage box (1). After raising it to the position B, it is turned upside down and the garbage in each hopper (8) is sorted and stored in the storage box (3) of the storage box (1).
You may make it throw in. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, instead of the input box (7), the input box support frame (2
8) is vertically movable along the left side wall (1d) of the storage box (1), and is reciprocally reversible at the upper limit position B to the right side. The loading box support frame (28) is composed of a U-shaped frame with an open front surface, and has a U-shaped cross-section into which the upper edge (7a) of the loading box (7) can be inserted at the upper ends of the left and right side plates (18a). Have (29). Then, when the input box (7) is moved into the input box support frame (28) so that the upper edge (7a) thereof is inserted into the rail (29), the input box (7) is inserted into the input box support frame (28). ). The loading box support frame (28) moves up and down at the lower limit position A and the upper limit position B while the loading box (7) is supported, and this vertical movement causes the loading box (7) to move to the lower limit position A and the upper limit position B. Move up and down. In addition, the input box support frame (28)
At the upper limit position B, it reverses to the reverse position C on the left side on the storage box (1), and this reverse movement causes the input box (7) to reverse. By this reversal, the hopper (8) of the input box (7) is turned upside down, and the dust contained in the hopper (8) falls into the corresponding separate collection chamber (3) of the storage box (1). In this way, when one separate collection is completed, the input box (7)
With the support box supported, turn the input box support frame (28) up to the upper limit position B, then lower it to the lower limit position A, then remove the input box (7) from the input box support frame (28) and remove it. It will be placed at the end of the road where it will not hinder road traffic again. It should be noted that the up-and-down movement and the reverse movement of the loading box support frame (28) are performed by the loading box drive mechanism (9) as in the case of the loading box (7). In addition, the casting box (7) has a predetermined number of casters (30) installed on the bottom surface, and the casters (30)
You can easily move by. Further, the plurality of hopper portions (8) of the input box (7) may be divided and independently supported by the input box support frame (28). Furthermore, in FIG. 8, the upper edge (7
Although the input box (7) is supported on the input box support frame (28) by inserting a) into the rail (29), the input box (7) is input by other methods. It is also possible to support (28).

[0038]

According to the present invention, it is possible to easily sort and put dust into a plurality of hopper parts of a throwing box arranged at a lower limit position in a storage box or at a road end where road traffic is not obstructed. In addition, this sorting operation is safe because it is performed in the space on the side of the vehicle body that can be seen from the driver's seat. Further, when the throw-in box rises from the lower limit position to the upper limit position and is inverted, the dust in the hopper portion naturally drops into the corresponding separate collection chamber of the storage box, and the separate collection of dust is reliably performed with a simple mechanism. Furthermore, if the container is dumped to the side and the lid of the separate collection chamber is selectively opened, only the waste in the separated collection chamber with the open cover is discharged, so the separate separation of waste is efficient and safe. Done. Furthermore, if the throw-in box can be attached to and detached from the vehicle body and placed at the road edge that does not hinder road traffic, the person who disposes of the waste will sort it and throw it in the hopper, so that the waste can be collected at the time of collection. Collection workers can save labor and improve work efficiency by eliminating sorting work.
