Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a collection vehicle for collecting empty bottles and cans.

(Prior Art) Empty bottles and cans are not only being produced in commercial facilities such as restaurants, but also in homes these days. Collection trucks go around and collect these empty bottles and cans.
Previously, used materials were collected in their used state by being loaded onto collection vehicles without being crushed. Additionally, empty cans were collected together without being sorted into aluminum cans and iron cans.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) KitakamiAccording to the conventional collection method, empty bottles and cans (hereinafter referred to as empty bottles, etc.) are bulky, so the number of items collected by one collection vehicle is small, making it inefficient. Moreover, a large amount of space was required for unloading and storing the empty bottles after collection.

Additionally, empty cans had to be sorted into aluminum cans and iron cans after being unloaded, which was time-consuming.

This invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and can collect two bottles while reducing their volume by crushing or compressing them, allowing a single collection vehicle to efficiently collect a large number of empty bottles. In addition, the present invention aims to provide an empty bottle and can collection vehicle that can separate iron cans and aluminum cans and collect them as compressed scrap.

(Means for Solving the Problems) However, in the empty bottle and can recovery vehicle of the present invention, a packet with a lid that can be opened and closed at the bottom is movably attached to a main rail fixed to the vehicle body, and a packet for crushing. A crusher, in which the members are mounted in a frame whose top and bottom are open, is installed below the packet travel path, and a can compressor V device equipped with compression means for compressing empty cans by power is installed above the main rail. A can sorting device, which is attached to the vehicle body with its empty can inlet facing the bottom of the packet at a predetermined stop position, and is equipped with a sorting means for separating iron cans and aluminum cans, is placed at a descending stop position on the main rail. Attach to the vehicle body with the sorting can outlet facing the opening of the above packet.
This is an empty bottle and can recovery vehicle that has a glass receiver installed on the vehicle body below the crusher.

(Function) In the empty bottle and can recovery vehicle of the present invention, the can sorting device separates the empty cans into iron cans and aluminum cans.

The packet travels along the main rail to load empty cans into the can compression device and empty bottles into the crusher.

In this way, empty cans and empty bottles are collected in a compressed state and empty bottles in a crushed state, respectively, while being loaded onto the vehicle body 2, so a single collection vehicle can collect an extremely large amount of empty cans and bottles. It can be done.゛This invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment. For example, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the can compression device 50 includes a first compression [
54 and a second compression section 56 to perform compression in two orthogonal directions, which has the advantage that empty cans can be compressed uniformly and the volume reduction rate is high. A device that performs compression only may be used.

Further, the hoistway 5 and loss path 6 of the main rail 3 may be inclined instead of being vertical and horizontal, or may be formed into a single straight inclined rail. Further, the lid 17 of the packet 12 may be opened and closed by mounting an opening/closing prime mover such as an electric motor on the packet 12. In addition, the can sorting device 80 has the advantage that the chute 82 is vibrated by the chute vibrating device 89, so that the sorting can be carried out smoothly and reliably. Depending on the size, etc., the chute vibration device n89 may be omitted. In addition, can sorting device 80
Alternatively, aluminum cans may be continuously discharged from the discharge port, and iron cans may be stored in a drawer. Further, the scrap extrusion device 65 and the side plate 62 are provided to further improve labor saving, and can be omitted. Further, as the crusher 35, in addition to a rotary shaft having a plurality of protrusions fixed thereto, a crusher equipped with various types of crushing members such as a threaded rod or a reciprocating compression plate can be used.

In addition, when only one lath receiver 103 is used,
The crusher 8!35 may be fixed to the vehicle body 2. Furthermore, as the glass receiver 103, a hopper-shaped container fixed on the vehicle body may be used.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, empty cans are separated into iron cans and aluminum cans, and then compressed to reduce the volume and loaded on the vehicle body as iron scrap and aluminum scrap, Empty bottles are shredded and stored as volume-reduced glass pieces in the plus container, so a single collection vehicle can efficiently collect a large number of empty cans and bottles, and there are no collection points after collection. The storage space required is small, and since there is no need to separate iron cans and aluminum cans, they can be used as scrap for reuse quickly after collection.
