Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a paper waste processing machine capable of greatly reducing the volume of used bulky paper towels.
The present invention provides a method that is useful for beautifying a washroom that has been unsightly due to scattering of paper waste.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, paper towels are often provided for hand-washing at hotels, coffee shops, companies, etc., but the paper waste after using the paper towels is thrown into a normal trash box. In this case, the paper waste after using it is crumpled and becomes three-dimensional and very bulky, so a small amount of paper waste fills the trash can and immediately overflows, and the paper waste always scatters around the toilet. There was a problem that it became unsightly. Therefore, recently, in order to clean the area around the washbasin, a storage device for the paper towel is provided on the upper part of the washbasin, and a handwasher unit integrally provided with a paper waste container at the lower part has been proposed (actually 1-1248).
8). On the other hand, recently, a method of compressing the bulky paper waste after use with a screw conveyor provided at the bottom of the trash can has been proposed (actually 1-14730).
3).

[0003]

As described above, since the conventional toilets that use paper towels are provided only with a normal trash can, they are immediately found in hotels, inns, coffee shops, etc., where many people come and go. It was often unsightly because the trash bin was full and paper scraps were scattered around the trash bin. To prevent this, it was necessary to look around the recycle bin again and dispose of the paper waste before it became full,
In this case, it takes a lot of manpower, and it is the reality that it cannot be fully executed in the difficult times of recruiting as in recent years. Therefore, it was suggested to clean the area around the washbasin as much as possible with the above-mentioned handwasher set with a paper towel container at the top and a paper waste container at the bottom. Certainly, this is because the paper towel container and the paper waste container are put in one three-dimensional box, so the space is reduced compared to the case where the conventional paper towel container and the paper waste container are installed separately, and it looks It's pretty clean. However, with this product, nothing has been done about the bulky used paper waste, and it is still unsatisfactory in that paper waste overflows the trash box and stains the area around the hand wash.

On the other hand, a method has been proposed in which a screw conveyor is attached to the bottom of the trash can as described above, and bulky used paper waste is put in the trash can and forcedly compressed with a screw. Is quite effective for paper cups, milk packs, styrofoam cups, etc. that fall to the bottom when placed in the trash can, but are bulky even when placed in the trash can, such as paper towel waste. This method is not very effective because it is light and only a part of it can reach the bottom of the trash can be compressed.

[0005]

Therefore, as a result of intensive investigations by the present inventors regarding a method for reducing the volume of used paper towels, they have invented a very effective paper towel waste disposal machine. That is, according to the present invention, a paper feed roll is provided at the center of the upper part of the paper towel waste processing machine or at the rear to pull out the paper towel to a position where the user can use it, and at the lower part thereof, a paper waste input section for sending used paper waste to the paper waste press roll. In addition to installing a pair of paper waste press rolls that reduce the volume of paper waste input from the paper waste input unit, the paper waste press roll is rotated on the upper part of the paper waste press roll so that the paper waste press roll is rotated for a certain period of time. A photoelectric sensor that gives instructions to the motor, a paper waste pushing slide plate that forcibly injects the input paper waste into the paper waste press roll, and a paper waste container that puts the reduced paper waste under the paper waste press roll. It is equipped with a paper towel waste processing machine. In this paper towel waste processing machine, one of the pair of paper waste press rolls is fixed so as not to move in the front-rear direction, and the other roll is pressed against the fixed roll by a spring or hydraulic pressure. However, it is desirable because the paper towel used has a large volume reduction effect.

[0006] The surface of this paper waste press roll is preferably made uneven so that the used paper towel (paper waste) can be smoothly eaten, and the paper waste pressed at the bottom of the paper waste press roll is the paper waste press roll. It is preferable to attach a scraper so that the tape does not stick to the roll and roll up, and is smoothly dropped into the paper waste container. In addition, the used paper towel is forcibly inserted into the paper waste press roll.The paper waste pushing slide plate, which has a function, is attached to the upper part of the paper waste press roll by springs or rubber bands so that it can be moved up and down. It is convenient that the slide boss is moved up and down by the rotational movement of the slide boss, because the paper dust pushing slide plate operates only when the user of the paper towel is using it. In order to further increase the volume reduction effect of the paper waste, it is preferable that the paper waste is made to contain a small amount of water before or during the processing with the paper waste press roll.
Further, in order to know when to refill the paper towel, it is desirable to provide a one-frame feed sensor indicating the amount of paper towel used at the bottom of the paper towel roll.

[0007]

When the used paper towel waste treating machine of the present invention as described above is used to treat a used paper towel, the trash box becomes full immediately until now, and a lot of manpower is required to dispose of it again. The problem has been solved that if some care was taken and the disposal was delayed, it would overflow to the outside of the trash can and clutter the paper clutter around the restroom. That is, the present invention reduces the volume of bulky paper towel waste to a small volume, extremely reduces the frequency of taking out the paper waste container in the trash box, and prevents scattering of paper waste, which contributes to beautifying hand washing. is there. Further, the paper towel scrap processing machine of the present invention has a paper towel roll, a paper scrap press roll, a paper scrap container, etc., which are three-dimensionally integrated and housed in one vertical type box, so that the space is small and the appearance is excellent. There is.
