Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention enables reliable crushing of empty cans with an extremely simple structure, and the crushed cans can be easily processed after crushing, and is easy for women, children and the elderly in general households. Convenient simple can crusher for crushing

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, after treatment of cans filled with drinking water, many cans are collected and crushed at once with a large press machine in a factory, or recently used for general household use. It is flattened by a foot-operated simple empty can crusher, and this simple empty can crusher has a footing material pivotally supported near one end of a horizontal base material for stable seating. A crushed portion is formed in the shaft supporting portion by linking a spring, and the crushed portion is crushed by sandwiching an empty can in the crushed portion and stepping on the footing material to squeeze between the lateral base material and the footing material. After being crushed to a predetermined size, each crushed can was taken out and discarded.

However, since the above-mentioned conventional press machine is large and expensive, it cannot be easily installed in a general household or the like, and even if it can be installed as an example,
Women and children could not easily crush them. When using a foot-operated simple empty can crusher, when crushing a large number of empty cans, the crushed cans were crushed and crushed to a specified size before use, and each crushed can was taken out for disposal. Since it is inefficient and it is a foot-operated type, it is not possible to crush the entire can surely, and in the case of a long can (a can with a long length), the crushing process cannot be performed. There were problems such as.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide a base comprising a vertical base material and a horizontal base material for stable seating. A crush plate is rotatably supported on a corresponding piece of a vertical base material at a lower portion, and a pair of movable pieces is further rotatably supported on the corresponding piece, and a mounting frame provided with a crush plate operating member is linked to the movable piece. In addition, one of the other crank arms is linked to the movable piece and the other to the shaft provided on the upper part of the crush plate, and an empty can feeding section is provided on the upper part between the connecting piece of the vertical base material and the crush plate. A crushing can discharge part is provided below the connecting piece and the crushing plate so that it can be easily installed even in a general household and women and children can crush an empty can easily. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a simple empty can crusher that can be easily crushed even in long cans because the post-treatment is simple.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a simple empty can crusher according to the present invention comprises a vertical base material 1 having an H-shaped or U-shaped cross section and a horizontal base material 2 for stable seating. And a crush plate 7 whose lower part is rotatably supported by shafts 6 to corresponding pieces 4, 5 of the vertical base material 1 of the base 3, and a pair of shafts 8 supported by the corresponding pieces 4, 5. Of the movable pieces 9 and 10, and a mounting frame 12 which is attached to the movable pieces 9 and 10 and includes an operation member 11 of the crush plate 7.
And one of them supports the movable pieces 9 and 10 with the shaft 13 and the other supports the crush plate 7.
Crank arms 15 and 1 linked to a shaft 14 provided on the upper part of the
5, an empty can inserting portion a formed in an upper portion between the connecting piece 16 of the vertical base material 1 and the crush plate 7, and a crushing portion formed in a lower portion between the connecting piece 16 and the crush plate 7. It is composed of a can discharge part b. Further, in the present invention, the original state restoring means 22 for the crush plate 7 may be provided at the part between the base 3 and the operating member 11 or at the part between the base 3 and the crush plate 7.

[0006]

When a plurality of empty cans are crushed and flattened by the simple empty can crusher of the present invention in a general household or the like, the empty can feeding part a provided in the vertical base material 1 of the base 3 is provided. When the operating member 11 of the crush plate 7 is lowered after the empty can 19 is inserted, the movable pieces 9 and 10 rotate, and the crank arms 15 and 15 associated therewith also rotate. 1
The crush plate 7 supported by the shaft 14 on the shaft 5 rotates on the side of the connecting piece 16 of the vertical base material 1 around the shaft 6 supporting part for the corresponding pieces 4, 5 of the vertical base material 1,
An empty can 19 inserted between the connecting piece 16 and the crush plate 7.
Is flattened by being crushed between the crush plate 7 and the connecting piece 16 which rotate. After this crushing, by operating the operation member 11 upward, the movable pieces 9, 10 rotate in the opposite direction to the above, and the crank arms 15, 15 also rotate in the same manner to open the empty can inserting portion a. At the same time, the flattened crushing can 19a is automatically discharged downward from the crushing can discharging portion b. Similarly to the above, the next empty can is also put into the empty can input part a and crushed.

In addition, the one provided with the original state restoring means 22 of the crush plate 7 also puts the empty can 19 into the empty can input part a provided in the portion of the vertical base material 1 in the base 3, and then the crush plate. Operation member 1 of 7
When 4 is lowered, the movable pieces 9 and 10 rotate, and the crank arms 15 and 15 linked to the movable pieces 9 and 10 also rotate. Therefore, the crush plate 7 supported by the crank arms 15 and 15 with the shaft 14 is a vertical base material. 1
The shaft 6 supporting the corresponding pieces 4, 5 is rotated to the connecting piece 16 side of the vertical base material 1 and the empty can 19 inserted between the connecting piece 16 and the crush plate 7 is rotated as it is. It is flattened by being crushed between the moving crush plate 7 and the connecting piece 16. After this crushing,
If the hands are released from the operation member 11, the original state restoring means 2 of the crush plate 7
2, the movable pieces 9 and 10 are rotated in the opposite direction to the above, and the crank arms 15 and 15 are also rotated to open the empty can input part a and, at the same time, are flattened from the crushed can discharge part b. The crushing can 19a is automatically discharged downward.
