For example, a changeover switch 14, 15 as a selection section for instructing the selection of whether the material is plastic or other waterproof paper should be placed in each of them. be.

Therefore, the above-mentioned dumping opening 1 is provided in the device casing ll.
A guide ramp 18 is formed which is connected to the guide ramp 2 and extends diagonally downward, and an individual feeding section 21 is disposed near the lower end of the guiding ramp 16. is provided in the feed-out member 22 which can swing in a seesaw shape around the shaft portion 23 and can operate the swing in a moderate manner, and is provided in the member 22 portion to detect the input of waste A. 9. For example, an activation control switch 24 such as an optical sensor is provided.

Further, in the lower part following the individual sending section 21, there is a waste A.
A compression processing section 31 is arranged, and this compression processing section 3
Regarding No. 1, the compression receiver fixedly held via the pressure sensor 33 has a plate 32 and an acid threaded portion 35, and the same pressure wire receiver is opposed to the plate 32, and the compression receiver is provided with an electromagnet 36 on the compression surface. The plate 34 and the compression receiver are connected to the plate 32, and the compression plate 3
4 to reciprocate and move freely toward and away from each other to obtain a compression effect.
A male threaded rod 37 that is screwed into the threaded portion 35. and a reverse drive motor 38 for rotating the same, and the compression receiver is a receiver for the input waste A that can be opened and closed freely at the intermediate shaft portion, which opens and closes the lower part between the plate 32 and the compression plate 34. The left and right divisions, which also serve as boards, are made up of boards 39 and 40.

Then, in response to the detected force signal from the start control switch 24, the electromagnet 38 and the drive motor 38 are powered on, the sorting plates 39 and 40 are closed, and the drive motor 38 is rotated forward and backward. Each self-retention is achieved by, for example, turning on a contact at a relay 42 via a limit switch 41, and by an output signal from a pressure sensor 33 that is activated when the compression force reaches a predetermined pressure. The reverse and backward movement of the drive motor 38 and the opening operation of the sorting plates 39 and 40 are performed, and furthermore, the electromagnet 3B is opened by opening the contacts in the relay 42 accompanying the reverse and backward movement.
and cutting off the power of the drive motor 38 and the feeding member 22.
The acceptance and return operation is performed.

Further, each sorting in the compression processing section 31 is placed below the plate 39.40, and in this case, these left and right sorting are placed on the plate 39.4.
A guide section 51 is disposed for sorting the compressed waste B including 0, and the guide section 51 is operated to be introduced and output by selecting the changeover switches 14 and 15 in the selection section described above. The left and right sorting has guide plates 52 and 53,
Each of these categories has a board 39.40 and each category has a guide plate 52.
In the lower part corresponding to 53, there are storage boxes 54 for the compressed waste B that are sorted in the extraction box 13, in this case a storage box 54 for ferrous metal buttons and a storage box 54 for non-ferrous metals. Storage box 55. and, for example, a frequently used plastic storage box 5.
8. A storage box 57 for other waterproof papers is also provided.

However, in the case of this embodiment configuration, the individual feeding section 2
The feeding member 22 of No. 1 always has only its rear feeding side projected onto the guide ramp 16, and the front receiving side is held in a state where the receiving side is retracted, and the inputting of waste material A is started and controlled. When the switch 24 detects this, the electromagnet 3B and the drive motor 38 of the compression processing section 31 are powered on, and at the same time, the state of the feeding member 22 is reversed and tilted due to the weight load of the waste material A. Then, the tilting operation is performed in a moderate manner so as to send out the first waste material A and restrict the reception of the next waste material A until the end of one processing operation.

Therefore, if only one piece of waste A is input, as shown in Fig. 4(a), (b), and (c),
On the other hand, when the waste A is received into the sending member 22, the activation control switch 24 detects this, turns on the power to the electromagnet 3B and the drive motor 38, and performs compression processing using the plates 39 and 40 for sorting. A lower part closing operation of part 31;
On the other hand, by tilting the sending member 22 forward due to the weight load on the sending member 22, the waste A is sent to the compression processing section 31 side, and the amount of compression is reduced by the plate 32. and the compression plate 34 will be held on the plate 39.40, and if said waste A is a large number of successive inputs,
As shown in FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b), the - pieces are sequentially sent to the compression processing unit 31 side starting from the earliest one, and
Similarly closed compartments are held on plate 39.40k,
Moreover, each time it is sent out, it is operated so that the next observation can be made.

Subsequently, as the drive motor 38 rotates forward and forward, the compression plate 34 is moved forward relative to the plate 32 to determine the amount of compression, and the sorting is performed by moving the compression plate 34 forward relative to the plate 32.
9.40 is crushed under a predetermined compression force between the plates 32 and 34 to reduce its volume.

In this way, the compression action continues until the pressure sensor 36 disposed on the plate 32 detects that a predetermined pressure has been reached, and as shown in FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b), the amount of compression is When object A is only a container (see figure (a)).

When the container for waste A contains an incompressible hard material or has a material strength that can only be compressed to the extent that the container itself can be compressed (see figure (b)). ), the compression mechanism including the drive motor 38 is compressed to the extent that it can be protected from heating due to excessive current or damage due to excessive pressure, etc., so that the input waste A is compressed. It is classified as finished waste B.

At this time, if the compressed waste B is a container made of non-ferrous metals, the amount of compression is equal to
If the container is made of ferrous metal, it will be attracted to the energized electromagnet 3B of the compression plate 34.

Then, when the waste A is crushed in this way and this is detected by the pressure sensor 33, the drive motor 38 starts to reversely and backwardly move in response to the detected force signal from the pressure sensor 33, and at the same time, the sorting is carried out by the plate 39. 40 in open operation,
The plates 39 and 40 serve as guide plates for sorting these into the corresponding storage boxes 54 for ferrous metals and storage boxes 55 for non-ferrous metals, and as the compression plate 34 moves backward, If the compressed waste B is a ferrous metal material, the electromagnet 36
If it is a non-ferrous metal material, it will fall downward, and the sorted material will be guided by the board 40 and stored in a storage box 55 for non-ferrous metals.

When the drive motor 38 returns to its original position in reverse,
As a result of this, the contacts of the relay 42 are opened, and the source of electricity to the electromagnet 34 and the drive motor 37 is cut off.
At the same time, the receiving and returning operation of the sending member 22 is performed, and on the other hand, the electromagnet 3B is de-energized.
In this case, compressed waste B, which was a ferrous metal material, is sorted into board 3.
3 and stored in a storage box 54 for ferrous metals,
On the other hand, as the delivery member 22 is returned to its receiving position, preparations for the next operation or operation WI are made.

Further, at the time of inputting the waste A, either C is selected in the selector switch 14 or 15 in the selection section, and a selection command is issued if the input waste A is plastic or other waterproof paper material. , each of the above-mentioned categories is placed below the plate 39.40, and each of the above-mentioned categories is placed below the guide plate 52.5.
Since any one of 3 C has been introduced, the compressed waste B at this time, that is, the compressed waste B made of plastics or other waterproof paper, is divided into the following categories: If it is plastic, it will be guided by one of the guide plates 52 or 53, and if it is plastic, it will be placed in the storage box 56 for plastics, and if it is other waterproof paper, it will be placed in the storage box 57 for other waterproof paper. In this way, each operation is completed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described in detail below, according to the present invention, the input of container waste such as empty cans is detected, the first waste is sent out from among the input waste, and one processing operation is completed. The waste to be sent is restrained from being sent out until the next waste is sent out, and the waste to be sent is compressed by a plate and a compression plate until a predetermined pressure is reached.

An electromagnet installed on either of these plates separates the compressed waste into at least ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals,
Since the compressed waste is further sorted into ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals and stored in separate storage boxes, the system itself can be activated based on the input of waste. , there is no waste of power consumption, and the waste that is thrown in when the device is activated can be compressed to make it smaller in volume.
This compression is carried out at a predetermined pressure for each piece of waste each time it is disposed of, so it can be easily processed with a small compression force, helping to save labor. At the same time, the compression mechanism itself can be well protected, and Sorting compressed waste into ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals, as well as plastics and other waterproof paper as needed, is effective in recovering materials after disposal, in other words, saving resources. The overall structure is relatively simple and can be easily implemented.
