Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an empty can recovery device. Empty cans of various types of beverages are being thrown away after drinking them, which has become a social problem. The present invention uses a unique device to automatically collect coins and the like when empty cans are thrown in, so that empty cans can be collected spontaneously. The details of the figure are as follows. Reference numeral 1 is an empty can inputting section, and 2 is an empty can discharging section. The empty can input section 1 and the empty can discharge section 2 are connected through an inclined empty can passage 3.
Empty can detection units 4a+4b and foreign matter discharge n5 are provided in the configuration. In the embodiment, empty can detection sections 4a and 4b are provided, and 4a measures the diameter of the empty can 6, and 4b detects the material of the empty can 6. The detection section may be configured as one, and the detection section may detect two or more detection items. The detection item is not limited to the diameter and material of the can 6, but may also be a specific mark marked on the can 6, the color of the can 6, or the like. Depending on the case, the number of detection items may be two or more, but a plurality of detection items may be more effective in removing foreign objects. Pre-revised discharge silence 5
An empty can collection door 7 is provided near the collection door 7, an empty can press section 8 is provided below the empty can press section 8, a material sorting device 11 and a collection chamber 10 are provided below the empty can press section 8, and a material sorting device 11 and a collection chamber 10 are provided below the empty can press section 8. In the detection unit 4' r4b, at least the empty cans 6 to be collected are detected.
After confirming the detection, the coin is taken out from the coin exit section 9. In the above configuration, when an empty can 6 is put into the empty can input section 1, the diameter of the empty can 6 is measured by the detection section 4a, and then the empty can 6 moves through the passage 3 to discharge foreign matter n5. It stops at a location, and the material is checked by the detection section 4b using, for example, a magnet. If the diameter and material are not the same, the discharge door 5 opens as shown by the arrow and discharges the empty can 6 out of the system. When the diameter and material are equal to each other, the collection door T is opened, and the cans fall onto the empty can press stand B8 located below the can, are pressed into a plate shape, and are lowered.
After being sorted by the sorting device 11, they fall into the collection chamber 1U. In the sorting device 11, in the figure, a conveyor 12 equipped with a machinette rotates intermittently in response to the operation of the press section 8, for example, and collects plate-like objects that have fallen onto the conveyor 8 into a room A in the case of aluminum.
In the case of steel, it hits the first plate 13 and is collected in the B room. Of course, the sorting device 11 is just an example, so any configuration may be used.

In the detection part 4a + 41), after the diameter and the material have passed, the coin, etc. may be taken out from the coin exit part 9 immediately, or the coin, etc. may be taken out after the pressing is completed. The control circuit and its specific control sequence for performing the above operations may be appropriately designed.

Since the present invention is as described above, foreign matter can be completely removed, and only the empty cans that should be collected are reliably collected and pressed at the same time, so a large number of empty cans can be collected in a small volume. In addition to the benefits, collecting empty cans also earns you coins, so it has a one-dog effect that encourages people to collect empty cans voluntarily.
