Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a waste crushing device. More specifically, it relates to a waste crushing apparatus suitable for manually crushing and processing waste, particularly juice, soft drinks, empty cans of beer and the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, when processing empty cans such as soft drinks, the empty cans are collected in their original form, transported to the empty can processing site, and then crushed together in a processing plant to form lumps. They sent them to the reprocessing plant or directly transported the empty cans that were collected in their original form to the reprocessing plant.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the conventional empty can treatment has the following problems. Although the empty cans are collected in their original form, they cannot be transported in large quantities at one time because they are much larger than when crushed. In addition, since the empty cans in their original shape are cylindrical and easily rollable, it takes a lot of time to load and unload them on trucks, etc., which is one of the causes of lowering the efficiency of unloading work. It is difficult to secure a storage place for a large number of unprocessed empty cans because empty cans in their original form require a larger storage space than crushed empty cans.

On the other hand, in order to crush the empty cans, there is a method of crushing them with a foot, but even if two or three can be easily crushed, it is very difficult to crush a large number of empty cans. Have difficulty. In addition, since the empty can is a cylindrical object, there is a risk that the foot may slip and injure when stomping with the foot, and it is particularly dangerous for old people and children to stomp the empty can with their feet.

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides a waste crushing device capable of crushing easily and reliably with a small force regardless of the size and type of empty cans and solving the above problems. The purpose is to do.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The waste crushing device of the present invention comprises a frame body having a leg and a first compression surface inside one axial end, and a second compression surface slidable in the axial direction of the frame body and perpendicular to the sliding direction. And a handle rotatably connected to the other axial end of the frame body by a first pin in a vertical plane, and one end of the handle connected to the handle by a second pin. A toggle link having a first link whose other end is connected by a third pin and a second link formed between the first pin connection point and the second pin connection point of the handle, and the toggle link. And a waste support part having a convex member having a top part and a side part formed at its tip, and the second compression surface of the movable body is Waste that is disposed so as to face the first compression surface of the frame and that can be opened and closed by the first and second compression surfaces. An inlet is formed, and the convex member of the waste support part supports the waste introduced from the waste input port and allows the waste input port to be centered. The toggle link assisting means is disposed below and is movable up and down by the contact movement of the lower end of the second compression surface of the movable body to the side surface portion, and the toggle link assisting means extends the output shaft of the toggle link assisting means. It is characterized in that a pressing force can be added to the toggle link before and after the state where the second pin of the toggle link is positioned on the line.

[0007]

[Action]

 In the present invention, when an empty can is loaded from the waste input port, the convex member of the waste support is arranged below the waste input port, so the empty can is centered according to its outer diameter. It is supported by the convex member in a sandwiched state. Since the waste input port is formed by the first compression surface formed on one end of the frame and the second compression surface formed on the movable body, the movable body slides sequentially toward the first compression surface side of the frame body. The gap (opening length) between the waste input ports becomes smaller as the temperature increases, so that the waste supported by the convex member is gradually crushed. On the other hand, since the convex member is configured to be movable up and down, the lower end of the second compression surface comes into contact with the side surface of the convex member and moves when the second compression surface moves toward the first compression surface. The member is gradually pushed down. When the lower end of the second compression surface passes through the top of the convex member, the top of the convex member comes into contact with the lower surface of the movable body. 1 When moving a little away from the compression surface, the crushed waste is discharged to the outside along the side surface of the convex member.

Since the toggle link and the toggle link auxiliary means are used for sliding the movable body, when the waste is crushed, if the handle is gently pushed down, the output shaft of the toggle link auxiliary means is Immediately after the second pin of the toggle link is positioned on the extension, the pressing force of the toggle link assisting means is added to the toggle link in the moving direction of the movable body, so the waste is crushed with a large force. . In addition, when the waste input port is formed again after the waste has been crushed, if the handle is lightly pulled up, the state in which the second pin of the toggle link is positioned on the extension of the output shaft of the toggle link assisting means Immediately after, the pressing force of the toggle link assisting means is added to the toggle link in the moving direction of the movable body, so that the movable body moves to the opposite side of the first compression surface with a large force. Therefore, the crushing work can be performed easily without applying a large force.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of a waste crushing apparatus A according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line III-III of FIG. The waste crushing device A is generally composed of a frame 1, a movable body 2, a handle 3, a toggle link 4, a toggle link assisting means 5 and a waste support 6.

The frame body 1 is composed of a main body 11 and leg portions 12 supporting the main body 11. The main body 11 is formed in a quadrangular shape by the planar members 13 and 14 at the left and right ends in the axial direction and the rod-shaped member 15 that connects the planar portions of the planar members 13 and 14 so as to face each other, and the planar member 14 at the right end is formed. The flat portion of the plate forms a first compression surface 14a, and a handle, which will be described later, is pin-connected to the flat member 13 at the left end (left and right in this embodiment mean the left and right in the state shown in FIG. 1). . In this embodiment, the planar members 13 and 14 are used at the left and right ends in the axial direction, but any member having any shape can be used as long as the flat portion is formed inside the right end. The legs 12 support the main body 11 by floating it from the floor, and any type of leg can be used without any particular limitation, but it is preferable that it is as light as possible considering the ease of transportation. .

The movable body 2 is a planar member having a second compression surface 2 a, and slides in the axial direction between the planar members 13 and 14 at the left and right axial ends forming the main body 11 of the frame body 1. It is movably arranged so that the second compression surface 2a faces the first compression surface 14a, and the rod-shaped members 15 penetrate through both ends of the movable body 2. The fixed first compression surface 14a and the slidable second compression surface 2a form a waste input port 7 that can be opened and closed. In addition, in the present embodiment, the movable body 2 is configured to be slidable along the rod-shaped member 15, but any structure may be used as long as it is slidable along the axial direction of the main body 11. It may be one. The lower end of the handle 3 is pin-connected to the left end of the frame body 11 with a first pin 31, and the handle 32 at the upper end is moved up and down so as to be rotatable in the vertical plane.

The toggle link 4 is composed of a first link 41 and a second link 44. The first link 41 is composed of one rod-shaped member 45 and two plate-shaped members 46, and the left end of the rod-shaped member 45 has two plate-shaped members sandwiching the left end. The right end of 46 is attached, and the left ends of the two plate members 46 sandwich the lower part of the handle 3 and are pin-connected to the handle 3 by the second pin 42. Therefore, the two plate-shaped members 46 are juxtaposed at substantially the same distance as the outer diameter of the rod-shaped member 45, and the lower part of the handle 3 can be inserted and removed between them. A stopper 47 is provided on the left end portion of the rod-shaped member 45 so as to project upward, and serves as a stopper for the handle 3. The right end of the rod member 45 is pin-connected to the movable body 2 by a third pin 43.

The toggle link assisting means 5 assists the operation of the toggle link 4, and in the present embodiment, a gas pressure cylinder filled with nitrogen is used. The gas pressure cylinder 5 is composed of a piston rod 51 and a cylinder 52. The piston rod 51 is pin-connected to a bracket 33 attached to the lower part of the handle 3 by a fifth pin 53, and the cylinder 52 is a first link. A bracket 48 attached to the right end of 41 is pin-connected with a sixth pin 54. The gas pressure of the gas pressure cylinder 5 is added to the force with which the toggle link 4 presses the second compression surface 2a of the movable body 2 toward the first compression surface 14a side of the frame body 1. Therefore, the force applied to the handle 3 is It's small enough. In this embodiment, a gas pressure cylinder filled with nitrogen is used as the toggle link assisting means 5, but a gas other than nitrogen can be filled. Further, as long as it has the same operation and function as a gas pressure cylinder, any one can be used without particular limitation, and for example, one using spring force instead of gas pressure can be adopted. .

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the waste support portion 6 is composed of a plate member 62 having a convex member 61 formed at its tip and a spring member 63. The end portion (left end portion) of the plate member 62 is pin-connected to the left end portion of the frame body 1, and the spring member 63 whose one end is fixed to the frame body 1 is arranged on the right side of the center portion of the plate member 62. The end is locked. The convex member 61 formed at the tip of the plate-shaped member 62 has a top portion 61a and a side surface portion 61b, and is arranged below the waste input port 7. Then, when the waste is input from the waste input port 7, the waste is supported in a centered state and is lowered according to its weight. In this embodiment, a slide member 64 having a groove (not shown) formed in the vertical direction is attached to the lower end of the main body 11 of the frame 1 so that the plate member 62 slides in the groove and moves up and down. However, the slide member 64 is not always necessary. However, it is preferable to install the slide member 64 from the viewpoint of preventing the plate member 62 from rolling.

Next, using the waste crushing apparatus A of the present invention, an empty can having a relatively large outer diameter, that is, the vicinity of the top 61a of the convex member 61 and the second compression surface 2a is used for centering. Explain how to crush supported empty cans. First, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 6 (A), when the handle 3 is pulled up in a substantially vertical direction, the movable body 2 moves to the left and the waste inlet 7 having the maximum opening length L1 is formed. It At this time, as shown in FIG. 6A, the central axis of the first link 41 and the output axis of the gas pressure cylinder 5 are in an intersecting state. That is, the fifth pin 53 of the gas pressure cylinder 5 is located above the central axis of the first link 41. Next, as shown in FIG. 7 (A), when the empty can m is put into the waste input port 7 having the maximum opening length L1, the empty can m is caused by the vicinity of the top 61a of the convex member 61 and the second compression surface 2a. At the same time as being supported in the centered state, the convex member 61 stops at the position where it descends according to the weight of the empty can m. When the handle 3 is gradually pushed down and the second pin 42 is located on the extension line of the output shaft of the gas pressure cylinder 5, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6B, that is, the second pin 42, the fifth pin When the pin 53 and the sixth pin 54 are aligned, the opening length of the waste input port 7 is L2. The gas pressure cylinder 5 is configured so that a pressing force can be added to the first link 41 before and after the state shown in FIG. 6 (B). That is, as shown in FIG. 6 (B), the handle 3 is slightly pushed down from the state where the second pin 42, the fifth pin 53 and the sixth pin 54 are aligned, and the fifth pin 53 causes the first link 41 to move. When it is located below the central axis, the pressing force is added to the right, and the handle 3 is slightly pulled up from the state where the second pin 42, the fifth pin 53 and the sixth pin 54 are aligned on a straight line, and the fifth pin 53 When is located above the central axis of the first link 41, the pressing force is added to the left. Therefore, when the opening length L2 is set to be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the empty can m, the empty can m easily begins to be crushed by simply depressing the handle 3. Further, when the handle 3 is pushed down, the opening length gradually decreases from L2 to L3 as shown in FIG. 7B, so that the empty can m is gradually crushed. Then, at the same time as the crushing of the empty can m progresses, the lower end of the second compression surface 2a of the movable body 2 abuts against the side surface 61b of the convex member 61, so that the convex member 61 is gradually pushed downward. Can be lowered. Further, when the handle 3 is pushed down, as shown in FIG. 7C, the empty can m is completely crushed and is sandwiched between the first compression surface 14a and the second compression surface 2a. Let L4 be the opening length of. On the other hand, the convex member 61 is in a state in which the top 61a is in contact with the lower surface of the movable body 2. Next, when the handle 3 is pulled up a little and the opening length is made slightly larger than L4, the crushed empty can m falls below the waste input port 7 and is discharged to the outside, as shown in FIG. 7 (C). To be done. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6C, when the opening length is set to 0, the gas pressure cylinder 5 is located below the first link 41, and the output shaft of the gas pressure cylinder 5 and the first link 41. The central axes of are parallel to each other. When the crushing of the empty can m is completed, the handle 3 is sequentially pulled up in the reverse order to the above, the waste input port 7 having the maximum opening length L1 is formed, and the above-described operations 1 to 3 are repeated. In addition, the handle 3 is sequentially pulled up, and the handle length is changed to L2 (see FIG. 6 (B)), that is, the state where the second pin 42, the fifth pin 53, and the sixth pin 54 are aligned in a straight line. When 3 is pulled up a little, the fifth pin 53 is located above the central axis of the first link 41, and the pressing force to the left of the gas pressure cylinder 5 is added to the first link 41. The handle 3 can be easily returned to its original state (the state shown in FIG. 3) with a small force.

Next, using the waste crushing apparatus A of the present invention, an empty can having a relatively small outer diameter, that is, the side surface portion 61b of the convex member 61 and the second compression surface 2a are aligned in a centered state. The method of crushing the supported empty cans will be described. Similarly to the above, the waste input port 7 having the maximum opening length L1 is formed. Next, as shown in FIG. 8 (A), when an empty can n is loaded into the waste loading port 7 having the maximum opening length L1, the empty can n is moved by the side surface portion 61b of the convex member 61 and the second compression surface 2a. At the same time as being supported in the centered state, the convex member 61 stops at the position lowered according to the weight of the empty can n. If the opening length L2 in the state shown in FIG. 6 (B) is set to be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the empty can n, just as with the empty can m described above, the handle of the empty can n is simply pushed down lightly. Easily crushed. However, in practice, it is difficult to change the opening length L2 in the state shown in FIG. 6 (B) each time according to the outer diameter of the empty can. Therefore, the most widely used empty can ( The opening length L2 is set to be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the empty can m). Therefore, in order to crush the empty can n, it is necessary to further push down the handle 3, but if the handle 3 is pushed down a little from the state shown in FIG. 6 (B), the fifth pin 53 will come out of the central axis of the first link 41. Since it is located below, the pressing force of the gas pressure cylinder 5 is added in the right direction, and the pressing force is transmitted to the empty can n with almost no reduction. Therefore, the empty can n is almost in the same state as the empty can m. Is crushed by. That is, as shown in FIG. 8 (B), even when the empty can m has been crushed to some extent and has the same opening length L3 (see FIG. 7 (B)), the empty can n cannot be crushed. Although it has not started yet, since the pressing force which is almost equal to the pressing force of the gas pressure cylinder 5 is added to the movable body 2 in the right direction, the handle 3 is slightly pushed down a little, Similarly, the empty can n can be crushed, and the empty can n is sandwiched between the first compression surface 14a and the second compression surface 2a (the opening length at this time is L5). Next, when the handle 3 is pulled up a little and the opening length is made slightly larger than L5, the crushed empty can n falls below the waste input port 7 and is discharged to the outside, as shown in FIG. 8 (C). It

As described above, according to the present invention, regardless of the size and type of the empty can, the empty can is put into the waste inlet 7 and the handle 3 is lightly pushed down, so that the empty can can be easily and surely. You can safely crush empty cans. Further, the waste input port 7 can be easily formed by simply pulling up the handle 3. In the above embodiment, the method of crushing the empty can as waste was explained, but if the waste can be smaller than the maximum opening length L1 of almost all wastes, the handle 3 is simply pushed down. Can be crushed easily and surely, and the waste input port 7 can be easily formed by simply pulling up the handle 3, so that it can be used for a wide range of waste crushing work.
