Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a container entrance/exit shielding device for a compactor container, which is capable of shielding a gap formed at the entrance/exit of a container.

Generally, in the case of a compactor/container, the container is connected to the compactor, a lid is attached to the front of the pushing ram of the compactor to shield the entrance and exit of the container, and the waste such as garbage thrown into the compactor is removed. Although it is compressed and pushed into the container, there is usually a relatively wide gap between the container entrance and the lid plate that shields the entrance and exit to prevent waste such as garbage from getting caught.

However, when the container is separated from the compactor, the contained waste may spill out from the gap, and the clean contained waste may be exposed to the outside, which is not only unsanitary but also has the disadvantage of an unsightly appearance. The applicant filed a patent application in 1973 to solve the above drawbacks.
- I applied for No. 118288 (Special Publication No. 57-59163), but
In this shielding device, the shielding plate is only suspended by its own weight, so when the inside of the container becomes fully loaded with garbage, the shielding plate is pushed up by the backward action of the compressed garbage. , there were cases where it could no longer function as a shielding plate.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and in addition to the conventional shielding plate (sub-gate), a second shielding plate is disposed in front of the conventional shielding plate (sub-gate), and the second shielding plate is provided with a rotation direction outward from the entrance/exit. To provide a container entrance/exit shielding device which applies a moving biasing force and can function as a shielding plate even if the inside of the container is fully loaded with garbage.

The present invention connects a compactor and a container into one by connecting an extrusion port opened in the front surface of a compactor body with an exit port opened in an end wall of a container.
By reciprocating the pushing ram inside the compactor body,
In a compactor container that pushes the waste inside the compactor body into the container,
It consists of a gate frame pivotally supported above the entrance/exit of the container so that the left and right ends are in approximate contact with the left and right inner edges of the entrance/exit so that it can swing back and forth, and a hanging rubber fixed to the lower end of the gate frame. A shielding plate is disposed, and a spring is provided for biasing and rotating the gate frame of the shielding plate toward the outside of the entrance so as to contact a stopper provided at the entrance; further, behind the shielding plate, A sub-gate is provided which is longer than the width of the doorway and is bendable in the direction of swing thereof, is suspended from the inner surface of the upper edge of the doorway, and whose left and right ends abut against the left and right inner edges of the doorway. It has a structure.

In the present invention, a container is integrally connected to a compactor, a lid plate is connected to the front surface of the pushing ram of the compactor to shield the entrance and exit of the container, and the pushing ram is advanced into the container, and the garbage dumped in the compactor is removed from the container. Push it into. At this time, the shielding plate and the sub-gate are rotated inward of the container by the debris as the pushing ram enters, against the biasing force of the spring.

Next, when the push ram starts to retreat, the shielding plate rotates following the retreat due to the biasing force of the spring, and as a result, the sub-gate lifted by the shielding plate also follows the shielding plate by its own weight.

Even when the container is fully loaded with garbage and the sub-gate is pushed up, the shielding plate can be rotated by the biasing force of the spring and can shield the gap.

When the container is full of garbage, the lid plate connected to the front surface of the pushing ram of the compactor is released and installed to cover the entrance and exit of the container, and the lower end of the shield plate contacts the upper end of the lid plate to close the gap.

After this, the container is removed from the compactor.

Examples will be explained below with reference to the drawings.
Cp is a compactor, and Ct is a container, which are connected together by a conventionally known lashing device (not shown), and the outlet 18 of the container Ct is communicated with the extrusion port 2 of the compactor Cp.

The compactor Cp has an extrusion port 2 at the front of the compactor body 1 and an input port 3 at the front of the upper wall thereof, and above the input port 3, a hopper 4 is formed integrally with the compactor body 1. A pushing ram 5 is housed in the compactor body 1 so as to be able to reciprocate back and forth by the expansion and contraction of the pushing cylinder 8. The pushing ram 5 has a pushing surface 6 formed on its front surface and An opening/closing plate 7 that can open and close the input port 3 is formed on the opening/closing plate 7 .

Several fitting grooves 11 extending laterally are formed on the pushing surface 6 of the pushing ram 5, and these fitting grooves 1
1, several protrusions 12 extending laterally formed on the lid plate 10 of the container Ct, which will be described later, are fitted.

A plurality of lashing claws 13 are pivotally supported on the back surface of the pushing surface 6 so as to be able to rotate up and down, and these lashing claws 13 engage and disengage with a locking piece 14 formed on the lid plate 10 of the container Ct. By doing so, the two can be detachably connected.

On the other hand, there is a gate 1 on the open end surface of the container Ct.
5 is supported by a shaft 16 so as to be freely openable and closable, and a doorway 18 defined by a frame 17 is opened in the gate 15. By inserting the cover plate 10
It is designed to be closed by.

A gap C is formed between the edge frame 17 of the gate 15 of the container Ct and the top surface of the lid plate 10 in order to prevent waste from getting caught.
It is designed to be closed by a shielding plate 21 that is pivotally supported on the inner side of the housing.

Below, the structure of this shielding plate 21 will be mainly explained in the second section.
To explain with reference to Fig. 3, the left and right edge frames 1
A bearing 22 is fixed to the upper part of the frame 17, and a pivot 23 is inserted into the bearing 22. A bracket 24 is attached to the outer pivot 23 of the edge frame 17, and a gate frame 25 is attached to the inner pivot 23. Each is fixed.

A spring 27 is attached to the bracket 24 so as to rotate the gate frame 25 outward from the entrance/exit 18. As a result, the gate frame 25 is always in contact with a stopper 26 fixed to the inner surface of the edge frame 17.

Further, a hanging rubber 28 is fixed to the lower part of the gate frame 25, and the lower end of the hanging rubber 28 is adapted to abut inside the upper end of the cover plate 10.

On the other hand, a sub-gate 2 is provided on the back side of the shielding plate 21.
9 is arranged, which consists of multiple pivot rods 3
0,30..., multiple shielding plate materials 31,3
1... are connected so that they can be bent back and forth in a blind shape. Further, the sub-gate 29 is formed to have a width wider than that of the edge frame 17, and its both ends are abutted against both sides of the edge frame 17 and held substantially vertically.

When the lid plate 10 is currently bartacked to the entrance/exit 18 of the gate 15 of the container Ct by the upper and lower bartacking bars 20, 20, the gap C is blocked by the shielding plate 21 and the sub-gate 29 behind it. ing.

Thereafter, by attaching the cover plate 10 to the pushing surface 6 of the pushing ram 5 and expanding and contracting the pushing cylinder, the waste can be pushed into the container Ct through the pushing opening 2 and the entrance/exit 18.

Therefore, when the pushing ram 5 advances into the container Ct and pushes the waste, the shielding plate 21 is moved by the dashed line in FIG. 3 due to the waste passing through the gap C. Spring 27 as shown in
rotates inward of the container Ct against the urging force of
Furthermore, since the sub-gate 29 also swings inward while being bent, the waste is removed from the shielding plate 21 and the sub-gate 2.
9 prevents any jamming between the entrance/exit port 18 and the pushing ram 5, and allows the waste to be smoothly pushed into the container Ct.

When the pushing ram 5 reaches the frontmost end and begins to retreat, the shield plate 21 follows the retreat due to the biasing force of the spring 27, and at the same time closes the sub-gate 29.
Both ends of the container Ct abut against the edge frame 17 to prevent the container Ct from swinging outward.

After filling the container Ct with waste, move the front of the pushing ram 5 to a position that matches the entrance 18 of the container Ct, then bar-tack the lid plate 10 to the entrance 18 of the container Ct, and the container Ct will be compacted. Can be separated from Cp.

And the container after separation from compactor Cp
The entrance/exit 18 of Ct is closed by the lid plate 10, and the gap C between the entrance/exit 18 and the upper surface of the lid plate 10 is closed by the shielding plate 21 and the sub-gate 29, so that the waste stored in the container Ct is No spillage or exposure to the outside.

Note that forward rotation of the gate frame 25 is prevented by a stopper 26, and a hanging rubber 28 fixed to the lower end thereof is positioned so as to be in contact with the upper end of the cover plate 10 by its elasticity.

As described above, according to the present invention, the waste stored in the container almost never spills outside, and the surrounding area is not contaminated, making it sanitary.
Moreover, since the waste is not exposed to the outside, the appearance can be improved.

In particular, since the shielding plate is always urged by a spring so as to be connected to the cover plate, the sub-gate can be reliably rotated in accordance with the pushing operation of waste, and the dust can prevent the sub-gate from falling. do not have.
