Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a dust box capable of automatically separating an aluminum can and a steel can.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Aluminum cans and steel cans are used as metal cans as beverage containers. In recent years, it has been recommended to separate and discard these empty cans into aluminum cans and steel cans from the viewpoint of resource reuse. However, since it is complicated for each person to distinguish between aluminum cans and steel cans, a dust box that automatically sorts the wastes at the time of disposal has been proposed.

For example, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-109683, a horizontal U-shaped magnet band is provided below a charging port, and an aluminum can rolls on the magnet band and falls downward from a curved portion of the magnet band. The steel can is attracted to the magnet band and rolled to the back side of the magnet band so that it can be disposed of at a place different from the disposal position of the aluminum can.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As mentioned above, when separating aluminum cans and steel cans, the magnets are not attached, but in the case of steel cans, it is necessary to send the separated substances that have been adsorbed by the magnets and then separated from the magnets to the storage location. Therefore, the separation structure and the strength and weakness of the magnet are very delicate problems.

For example, in the above-described known sorter, if the magnetism of the magnet band is weak, the steel can separates at the curved portion of the magnet band and is discarded in the storage place of the aluminum can, like the aluminum can. On the other hand, if the magnetism is strong, many steel cans will be attracted to the back of the magnet band, and there is a risk that they will become clogged immediately.

Of course, the problem can be easily solved by adopting an electromagnet as a magnet for separation and energizing only when necessary, but a permanent magnet that does not require maintenance for installation in a park, etc. It is clear that is simple and inexpensive. Therefore, the present invention proposes an empty-can sorting garbage box that has a simple structure and can reliably separate even if the magnet strength is somewhat rough.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 An empty can sorting dust container according to the present invention has a box-shaped main body having two housings, and an opening corresponding to the shape of an empty can is formed at the top of the box. A chevron-shaped guide plate is provided, and a cylindrical magnet rod is rotatably installed below one side of the charging port, and a collision part with a magnet rod deposit is formed at a side surface position of the magnet rod opposite to the charging port. It is characterized by

[0008]

[Action]

 When an empty can is loaded from the charging port, the aluminum can falls on one of the slopes of the Toyama type guide plate and is stored in a predetermined storage section. The steel can is immediately attracted to the magnet rod, and the magnet rod rotates due to its own weight.When the strength of the magnet is appropriate, the steel can collides with the collision part when the steel can rotates, and the impact causes it to separate from the magnet rod. It falls on a slope of a guide plate different from the aluminum can and is stored in a predetermined storage part. If the magnet bar magnetism is strong, the steel can will be attracted vertically, but when the next steel can is loaded, it will be attracted to the magnet rod further, and since there is a previously loaded steel can, it will be attached near the loading port. Becomes Then, when the steel can that is thrown in later is tapped lightly with a hand, the magnet rod rotates and the previous steel can collides with the collision part and comes off the magnet rod, falls and is stored in a predetermined storage part.

[0009]

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The empty can sorting dust box of the present invention comprises a dust box body 1 and a sorting mechanism 2, and the dust box body 1 is divided into two storage parts 11 and 12, and a take-out lid 13 and 14 is appropriately provided. It is provided with a sorting mechanism 2 having an inlet 21 on the top.

The sorting mechanism 2 has an approximately rectangular shape and a loading port 21 corresponding to the size of the empty can, and a mountain-shaped guide plate 22 that guides the empty can to the storage parts 11 and 12 immediately below the loading port 21. , A cylindrical magnet rod 23 rotatably installed below one side of the inlet 21, and a non-magnetic material (eg, a non-magnetic material) at a position close to the outer periphery of the magnet rod 23 on the side opposite to the inlet of the magnet rod 23. It is composed of a collision part 24 with a magnet rod deposit formed of a stainless plate.

When the aluminum can is loaded through the charging port 21 (empty can position A0: FIG. 4), the aluminum can falls on one slope a of the mountain-shaped guide plate 22 (the empty can position A1. ), And is discarded and stored in the storage unit 11 for aluminum cans.

Further, when the steel can is put into the charging port 21, it is immediately adsorbed by the magnet rod 23, the magnet rod 23 rotates due to its own weight, collides with the collision portion 24, and is separated from the magnet rod 23 by the impact. Then, it falls on the slope b of the guide plate 22 different from the aluminum can (empty can position A3) and is discarded and stored in the storage part 12 for steel cans. Further, when the magnetic force of the magnet rod 23 is strong, the collision impact is weak due to the rotational force due to the weight of the empty can, and the steel can is in the attached state (empty can position A2).

Then, when the next steel can is loaded, the loaded steel can is immediately attracted to the magnet rod 23 (empty can position A0). Then, when the adsorbed steel can at the A0 position is tapped lightly by hand, the magnet rod 23 rotates, and the previously introduced A2 position steel can collides with the collision part 24, comes off the magnet rod 23, and falls. The waste is stored in the storage unit 12.

As described above, even if the magnetic force of the magnet rod 23 is somewhat strong, the adsorption of the steel can can be easily released with the help of a human hand, so that the magnetic force adjustment of the magnet rod is rough.

Note that the specific structures of the storage units 11 and 12 and the guide plate 22 can be arbitrarily determined as long as empty cans that drop at different positions are discarded and stored at predetermined locations. is there.

[Effect of device]

 As described above, in the present invention, in the dust box for separating the steel can and the aluminum can, the rotating magnet rod is provided close to the charging port as a separating mechanism, and the adhered steel can is transferred to the next charging steel can. By applying the pressing force of the above, the magnet rod is detached from the magnet rod and stored at a predetermined position, and it is possible to provide a dust box that has a simple structure and can be accurately separated.
