JPS5841038Y2 - Empty can crushing device - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] With the spread of vending machines, large quantities of canned beverages such as beer and juice have become available.The empty cans that have been used and are scattered around have become known as empty can pollution.

The present invention aims to crush these empty cans to make them easier to transport and handle (to make effective use of strained waste and to recycle garbage).

In other words, the purpose is to contribute to saving resources and energy, reducing waste, and beautifying the environment.

The gist of the present invention is that a cylinder 1 with countless teeth 1a formed on the same surface is provided to rotate in one direction. A large number of rolls a, b.

This is an empty can crushing device characterized in that c, d, , e, f, and g are provided.

In the figure, 2 is a hopper, and 4 is an auxiliary roll.

The device of the present invention is mounted on an empty can collection vehicle and collects the empty cans while crushing them on the vehicle, reducing the volume of the empty cans to about 1/10, and the collection vehicle is sent directly to a recycling plant.

Therefore, work efficiency was extremely high.

First, when empty cans are put into hopper 2 (in reality, they are brought in from the bottom by a conveyor), the teeth of the cylinder catch the empty cans and move them forward.

3 of the gaps between roll a and cylinder 1 is the widest at the beginning and gradually narrows as the rolls move forward, so the empty cans are crushed one after another in the order of E-RO-HA, which requires less driving force and is smoother than crushing all at once. It has the following characteristics.

Figure 2 shows a prototype empty can, and Figure 3 shows a crushed empty can.

The rolls a + b + c have knurling on their peripheral surfaces to provide an anti-slip effect, and the auxiliary roll 4 was provided to prevent empty cans from popping out from between the rolls.

The purpose of this invention is to recycle and effectively utilize aluminum cans. Considering that bauxite, the raw material for aluminum, is currently dependent on foreign countries such as Southeast Asia and Australia, it is difficult to reuse aluminum cans. First of all, this device is provided because there is a need to crush and transport empty cans.

Therefore, the present invention has practical effects.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A cylinder 1 having a countless number of teeth 1a formed on the same surface is rotated in one direction, and a large number of rolls are mounted on the circumferential surface of the cylinder 1 so that the distance 3 between the teeth and the rolls gradually decreases as the optical force increases. An empty can crushing device characterized by having a, b, c, d, c fg.
