It is widely used in quasi-drugs, painted products, waxes, anti-fog products, car auxiliary products such as polish.

In a spray can, a metal container is filled with the above-mentioned agent and a gas such as LPG under a predetermined pressure.

[0004]

However, the balance between the gas and the agent is disrupted by the use, and the agent disappears because the gas disappears even though the agent exists, or the agent disappears when the gas exists. To do.

The spray can thus formed is usually treated as garbage.

Therefore, since the spray cans collected at the refuse disposal site still contain the contents as described above,
When I tried to crush it by hand, the contents were scattered,
It is a danger.

Further, even if the contents are used up, since the spray can is a pressure vessel, it may explode if it is left in a place where the temperature exceeds 40 ° C. or thrown into a fire, for example. .

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the purpose thereof is to make it possible to easily discharge the contents by making a hole in a spray can in a container that can be opened and closed. To provide a spray can puncher.

[0009]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, an openable / closable container, a work intake ramp provided in the container for stocking a spray can, and a work provided in the container for discharging the spray can. The take-up ramp and the lifting mechanism that is located between the ramps and lifts the spray can on the work-take-in ramp to transfer the spray can to the work-take-out ramp, and the spray can lifted by this lift mechanism is placed on the work-take-out ramp. It is composed of a stop mechanism having a mooring device to be stopped, and a perforation mechanism having a perforator at the tip thereof for making a hole in a spray can located above both slopes and stopped by the stop mechanism.

According to a second aspect of the invention, the container that can be opened and closed is

At this time, the spray can at the tip of the work intake ramp is located above the lifting mechanism. Next, the lifting mechanism is operated. At the same time as the operation of the elevating mechanism or at the previous stage, the stop mechanism operates to shut off the work take-out oblique path.

In this state, when the elevating mechanism lifts one spray can to the position of the work take-out slope, the lifted spray can rolls and moves on the work take-out slope, and is stopped at the position of the stop mechanism.

Next, the perforation mechanism moves toward the spray can stopped by the stop mechanism, and the tip portion thereof is pushed into the spray can to make a hole.

This causes the contents of the spray can to pop out.

After that, the punching mechanism returns to the original position. Then, since the stop mechanism returns to the original position, the spray can that was pierced on the work take-out slope rolls down the work take-out slope and falls into the recovery container placed outside the openable container. .

If necessary, the contents of the spray can can be taken out.

[0019]

The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a spray can puncher according to claims 1 to 3.

In the figure, 1 is a container that can be opened and closed.
This container is made of metal, but the door 2 and the wall portion may be made of fireproof glass or resin so that the inside can be seen.

On one side of the openable / closable container 1 is provided a work intake ramp 10 for stocking the spray can K.

The work-introducing slope 10 is formed by the support columns 3,
It is supported by 4 and a frame 5.

The work intake slope 10 is a spray can K.
However, as long as it has an angle such that it can be easily rolled, it is set to 15 degrees in this embodiment.

Further, the width of the work intake ramp 10 may be adjusted according to the width of the spray can K, or may be a fixed type which is slightly larger than the target width of the spray can K.

In addition, the spray can K is the work intake slope 1
The rising portions 11 for preventing fall are provided on both sides so as not to fall when rolling 0.

The work intake ramp 10 is connected to a work take-off ramp 20 that is inclined at a similar angle inside the container 1 that can be opened and closed.

The work take-out slope 20 has substantially the same shape as the work take-in slope 10, is supported by the frame 6 of the container 1 which can be opened and closed, and is openable and closable so that the treated spray can K can be discharged. It projects to the outside of the container 1.

A spray can K on the work intake slope 10 is lifted between the slopes 10 and 20.
An elevating mechanism 30 is provided for transferring the workpiece onto the work take-out slope 20.

The lifting mechanism 30 includes a cylinder 31 and
It is composed of a spray can mounting member 32 provided at the tip of the cylinder 31.

As shown in FIG. 4, the spray can mounting member 32 includes side plates 33 facing each other, a shelf plate 34 mounted between the side plates 33 to mount one spray can K, and a lower part of the shelf plate 34. And a side plate 35 that closes the space between the side plates 33.

Therefore, the spray can K placed on the shelf plate 34 drops from between the side plates 33 because there is nothing to regulate.

Further, when the next spray can K reaches the position of the elevating mechanism 30, it is regulated by the side plate 35 and is not caught when the elevating mechanism 30 moves.

A stop mechanism 40 having a mooring device 42 for holding the spray can K lifted by the elevating mechanism 30 on the work take-out slope 20 is provided above the work take-out slope 20.

The stop mechanism 40 includes a cylinder 41 attached to the frame 6 of the container 1 which can be opened and closed, and a substantially L-shaped mooring device 4 attached to the tip of the cylinder 41.

As shown in, one spray can K is placed.
The elevating mechanism 30 is attached so that its axis is perpendicular to the workpiece intake ramp 10, and is therefore inclined to the right side of the drawing with respect to the vertical axis of the openable container 1. Therefore, when the elevating mechanism 30 lifts one spray can K to the position of the work take-out ramp 20, the lifted spray can K rolls and moves on the work take-off ramp 20 from between the side plates 33, and the stop mechanism 40 moves. It is stopped at the position of the mooring device 42.

The elevating mechanism 30 is returned to the original position when the spray can K moves to the work take-out slope 20.

Then, the punching mechanism 50 is operated, the cylinder 51 is moved toward the spray can K stopped by the stop mechanism 40, and the spray can K is pressed by the spray can presser 54 provided at the tip thereof. After that, a hole is formed in the spray can K with the punch 55 attached to the tip of the cylinder 51.

As a result, the contents of the spray can K pop out.

At this time, the liquid in the spray can K is sucked by the vacuum pump, and the gas filled in the openable container 1 is exhausted to the outside by the exhaust fan 70.

After that, the punching mechanism 50 returns to the original position.

Then, since the stop mechanism 40 returns to the original position, the spray can K having the hole formed on the work take-out slope 20 rolls down the work take-out slope 20 to the outside of the openable / closable container 1. Arranged collecting device 80

In the above embodiment, 90 is a control device. The control device 90 controls the elevating mechanism 30, the stopper mechanism 40, the punching mechanism 50, the exhaust fan 70, and the vacuum pump.

For example, based on a command from a sensor that knows that the spray can K of the lifting mechanism 30 is present, a command to operate the lifting mechanism 30 is issued, and it is detected that the lifting mechanism 30 has reached a predetermined height. Then, the lifting mechanism 30 is stopped based on this detection command.

Before the lifting mechanism 30 is operated, the stop mechanism 4
When the spray can K is stopped by the stop mechanism 40 by operating the cylinder 41 of 0, the punching mechanism 50 is operated by the command from the sensor.

At the time of punching the spray can K by the punching mechanism 50, the position of the spray can holder 54, the fitting distance of the cylinder 51, etc. are controlled by commands from the sensor.

Starting the exhaust fan 70 and the vacuum pump,
It also controls suspension.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the spray can K can be continuously introduced into the container 1 which can be opened and closed, and the contents can be easily discharged by making a hole in the spray can. .

Therefore, it is no longer necessary to manually crush the spray can as in the prior art, and it is possible to protect from accidental disaster.
