Description

Recyclable resource recovery method and device

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a resource recovery apparatus for recovering recyclable resources. More particularly, the present invention relates to recyclable resources (containers: PET bottles, iron or aluminum cans, glass bottles, etc.). The present invention relates to a recyclable resource recovery method and apparatus for judging material, color, and type, and collecting and separating compensation based on material and color of a resource, and paying a compensation amount corresponding to the type of recovered resource.

In order to collect recyclable recyclable resources such as glass bottles, iron or aluminum cans, plastics, paper, etc., a plurality of loading bins are conventionally provided and a user inputs recyclable resources. And in return, you pay other goods or cash. However, there is a drawback in taking up a lot of space because bottles or cans are collected as it is, and the drawer must wait at all times or limit the collection time to a certain time to compensate for this. have.

Accordingly, in order to reduce the volume of resources while increasing the recycling rate of resources, the recycling resources are collected using a crusher. In addition, the compensation for this is that the management unit managing the shredder and each shredder are connected in communication to identify and collect the collected resources.

However, in case of using shredder, one shredder which shreds only one kind of resource is installed, and there is a drawback of not shredding a plurality of resources selectively, and also shredding the resources put into the shredder without sorting work. If gas or volatile substances remain in the furnace, there is a drawback that an explosion or fire occurs during crushing.

In addition, the cost of recovered resources is not directly paid at the site (crusher), but is collectively paid by the management office, so that the recovery rate of the resources is lowered, resulting in a lower recycling rate of the resources.

An object of the present invention for solving the above drawbacks is to read the bar-code marked on the surface of the recyclable resources such as PET bottles, cans, glass bottles to determine the material, color and type of the resources, Collecting various types of resources at once by collecting them by material and color of the resources, and paying the compensation amount corresponding to the recovered resources directly from the crusher to reduce the trouble of separately paying the compensation amount for the resources. The present invention provides a method and apparatus for recovering recyclable resources.

The present invention for achieving the object as described above is the first step of transferring the input resources to the sorter and determine whether to recycle the resources, by reading the bar code on the surface of the resources to determine the material, color and type of the resources The second step, the third step of dividing and dividing the resources according to the material of the resource, the fourth step of dividing and collecting the resources according to the material and color of the shredded resource, and the compensation amount corresponding to the type of the input resource. And performing a fifth step of calculating and paying it.

In particular, the first step above includes the step of withdrawing the resources to the outside when the non-recyclable resources are input, and in the fifth step is calculated by adding the compensation amount for the plurality of resources input when the multiple resources are continuously input The compensation amount can be paid at one time.

Hereinafter, described in detail by the accompanying drawings illustrating the configuration and operation of the present invention.

Figure 3 is a block diagram showing a resource recovery apparatus according to the present invention, a bar code reader (3) for reading a bar code displayed on the surface of the resource, and the resources determined to be non-recyclable resources to the outside while recyclable resources Separator (2) for selectively supplying a plurality of shredders, a shredder (5) for separating and separating the resources according to the material of the resources, and separating the resources into a plurality of loading bins according to the material and color of the shredded resources Receiving a separate collector (6) to collect, a coin dispenser (7) for providing a coin corresponding to the input resources, and barcode data of the bar code reader (3) is applied to determine the material, color and type of the resource selector (2) And a computer control unit 4 for controlling the operation of the shredder 5, the separate collector 6, and the coin dispenser 7.

The operation of the present invention configured as described above will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 4.

First, when a PET bottle, a can, a glass bottle, or the like is introduced into the crusher through the inlet 9 (S40), the resources introduced by the guide roller 10 are transferred to the sorter 2 (S41).

Then, the barcode reader 3 installed on the top of the sorter 2 reads the barcode displayed on the surface of the resource and transmits the barcode data to the computer controller 4. Accordingly, the computer control unit 4 analyzes the bar code data to determine the material, color and type of the resource introduced into the crusher (S42).

At this time, the resources introduced into the sorting machine 2 are rotated by the rollers installed on the bottom of the sorting machine 2 so that the barcodes marked on the specific portions of the resources can be smoothly read by the barcode reader 3.

The computer control unit 4 receiving the bar code data from the bar code reader 3 determines the type of resource, that is, whether the resource input into the crusher is a recyclable resource (S43). That is, by determining whether the resource is filled with gas or volatile material therein, the computer control unit 4 can prevent the safety accident caused by the fire in advance.

When it is determined by the bar code data that the resource introduced into the crusher is a non-recyclable resource, the computer control unit 4 operates the sorting machine 2 so that the resources settled on the sorting machine 2 are externally discharged through the exit path 12. To be withdrawn (S44). In other words, it is to prevent the input resources are introduced into the crusher (5) to be crushed.

However, when it is determined that the resource input into the shredder is a recyclable resource by the bar code data, the computer controller 4 recognizes the material of the resource and drives the sorter 2. That is, the door installed on the side of the sorter 2 is opened and closed so that the resources introduced into the specific crusher among the plurality of crushers 5a and 5b installed at the bottom of the sorter 2 are introduced through the guides 12a and 12b. (S45).

Subsequently, the computer control unit 4 applies driving power to the drive motor for driving the shredders 5a and 5b so as to shred the resources introduced from the sorter 2 to drive the shredders 5a and 5b to drive the sorter 2. In step S46, the input resources are crushed. At the same time, in order to selectively collect the resources crushed by the shredders 5a and 5b into a plurality of stacking containers 8a, 8b, 8c and 8d by the material and color of the resources, The color is collected by operating the separation collector 6 and the guide 6b installed at the bottom of the separation collector 6 by the color (S47) (S48).

More specifically, the computer control unit 4 determines the material and color of the resource input by the bar code data, that is, the material of the input resource is iron, aluminum or plastic, and whether the color of the resource is blue, red or transparent plastic. Done.

The computer control unit 4 operates the separation collector 6 so that the separation collector 6 is moved along the guide rails 6b to the tops of the specific stackers 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d. Position it. In addition, the computer control unit 4 opens and closes the guide 6b installed at the lower end of the separation collector 6 so that the resources introduced from the crushers 5a and 5b are introduced into a specific stacking container.

In this way, after the resource is crushed and separated and erased, the computer controller 4 recognizes the amount corresponding to the type of the input resource to compensate for the input resource and calculates the compensation amount of the input resource (S49).

At this time, the compensation amount for each resource should be set in advance in the computer control unit (4).

The computer control unit 4 that calculates the compensation amount for the input resource determines whether the input of the resource is finished. That is, the computer control unit 4 determines whether the closing operation is completed by checking whether the end button installed on the outside of the crusher is operated or a predetermined time has elapsed after the input of resources (S50).

As a result, when the closing operation is not finished, the computer control unit 4 repeatedly controls the above operation, but when the end button is activated or a predetermined time has elapsed, the computer control unit 4 operates the coin dispenser 7 Up to now, all the operations are terminated while paying the compensation amount for the input resources (S51).

Here, when a large number of resources are input and after the input operation is completed, when a compensation amount for input resources is paid, a high amount is first given to a coin, and the remaining compensation amount is paid to a low amount of coins so that the minimum amount of resources is input to the resource. You can pay the compensation amount.

As described above, the present invention can reduce the volume of the collected resources collected by crushing bulky resources such as PET bottles, cans or bottles, and discharge the resources filled with gas or volatiles to the outside of the crusher. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the safety accidents caused by gas or volatile substances in advance.

In addition, by reading a bar code displayed on the surface of the resource there is an effect that can be collected separately according to the material or color of the various types of resources.

And, by reading the bar code displayed on the surface of the resources, the compensation amount for the input resources can be paid directly at the site (crusher) to simplify the payment process of the compensation amount, which further increases the recovery rate of the recyclable resources and recycles the resources. There is an effect that can increase the rate.
