Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an empty can collecting vehicle for collecting empty cans, and relates to improvement of a structure for storing empty cans with respect to a box-shaped body for housing empty cans.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, empty can trucks that collect used empty cans use a box-type vehicle that uses a garbage collection vehicle that has been generally used for dust, a flat-body vehicle with a horizontal loading platform, or a conveyor. A vehicle with an empty can inside the rear body is usually used.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-mentioned conventional one, when using a garbage collection vehicle that has been generally used for dust as an empty can collection vehicle, it is not easy to compress the empty can because it is not easy to compress the empty can. In addition to being unable to store empty cans, the vehicle itself will be expensive, and the collection of empty cans will be facilitated, and the loading platform will be horizontal in order to make the loading capacity of the empty cans sufficient. In the case of a flat-body vehicle or a vehicle that is housed in a box-shaped rear body using a conveyor, etc., the loading method can be simplified and the loading capacity can be improved, but the center of gravity and empty space of the vehicle can be improved. To prevent the cans from falling, it is necessary to load the empty cans evenly on the loading platform of the vehicle, which requires a great deal of work, and when loading the cans, there is noise. When it occurs , Residual liquid remaining in the recovered in-vivo cans may adversely affect against liable surrounding environment leaks from the bed.

[0004] Further, in order to sufficiently load the collected empty cans to facilitate the loading work, and to prevent noise generated during the loading work and leakage of residual liquid remaining in the empty cans, In addition to compressing a can, the compressed can is stored in a box-shaped container such as an empty can that is compressed by a rotating hopper that moves up and down on a rail and is inverted at the top of the rail. (Actual No. 59-91202) has been proposed, but it is an empty can that is placed in a container for storing empty cans and that compresses empty cans, and an empty can that is compressed into a box-shaped container. The rotating hopper used to house the vehicle must be installed, which complicates the structure, and the rotating hopper that moves up and down along the rail does not have a lid. The remaining liquid may drop and leak.

Therefore, by connecting a lift arm, which supports the container into which the collected empty cans are thrown up and down, through a control cable, the container can be turned upside down according to the opening and closing of the tailgate, and at the same time the container can be turned upside down. There is a container (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-258002) in which the lid is opened and dust such as an empty can is placed in the dust container box. In the case of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-258002, the collected empty can is Since the raising of the container that puts such dust into the dust storage box and the reversing operation that is performed at the same time as raising the container are linked with the opening and closing of the tailgate, the operating mechanism becomes complicated and the cost increases and the cause of failure occurs. There are drawbacks that can occur.

Therefore, the present invention is intended to improve the drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional ones, and by a simple structure, the loading work at the time of collecting empty cans can be easily performed, and the empty cans or empty cans can be easily loaded. It is intended to prevent the residual liquid remaining in the can from dropping and leaking.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 For this purpose, the collected empty cans are put into the box-shaped body that houses the empty cans through the opening on the rear slope of the box-shaped body, and the bucket main body that can be raised and lowered while rotating is installed. An opening lid that can be opened and closed is provided on the front side, and a discharge port is provided on the back of the bucket body that closely adheres to the opening of the box-shaped body for loading empty cans. And a lid gear having a pinion gear capable of meshing with a rack gear arranged at the side edge of the opening of the box-shaped body.

[0008]

[Action]

 Because of the above configuration, when loading the collected empty cans into the bucket, only the loading lid that is openable and closable on the front of the bucket body is open, while the outlet of the back of the bucket body is open. The lid is fixed and closed by the lid lock that uses the elasticity of the spring, so the collected empty cans are stored in the bucket, and the remaining empty cans and residuals in the empty cans remain. It is possible to prevent the liquid from leaking out of the bucket.

When the empty can collected in the bucket is housed in the box-shaped body, a lid lock that locks the lid is opened as the bucket supported by the arm rises. By contacting the lower edge of the lid, the lid lock that locks the lid is released, and the rack gear installed on the side edge of the opening of the box-shaped body and the rotating shaft joined to the upper end of the lid. As the pinion gear rotatably attached to the gear meshes and the bucket body further rises, the pinion gear at the upper end of the lid moves forward with respect to the rack gear arranged at the opening side edge of the box-shaped body. Along with this, the lid joined to the rotating shaft that pivotally mounts the pinion gear rotates in the rotation direction of the pinion gear, and the discharge port provided at the back of the bucket body opens, and the lid is stored inside the bucket body. The empty can is dropped and stored in the box-shaped body through the opening on the rear slope of the box-shaped body.

Further, when the empty can inside the bucket body is housed in the box-shaped body and then the arm is operated to lower the bucket, the bucket meshes with the rack gear arranged at the side edge of the opening of the box-shaped body. The pinion gear of the lid retracts downward and rotates in the reverse direction.The reverse rotation of the pinion gear closes the lid and releases it by contacting the lower edge of the opening of the box-shaped body. The lid lock is used to lock the lid by the elasticity of the spring and close the outlet of the bucket body. A seal is placed at the lower edge of the discharge port provided in the back of the bucket body.When storing an empty can in the bucket body, a lid lock that locks the lid is used to discharge the bucket body. Since the outlet is tightly closed, the residual liquid in the empty can does not leak outside when the empty can is put into the bucket body.
