Description

Food waste pay-per-use collection device {PICK-UP DEVICE FOR FOOD GARBAGE}

The present invention relates to a food waste pay-as-you-go collection device, and more particularly, to a collection device improved to be conveniently used by users while preventing odors generated during the process of collecting food waste.

Due to the economic growth, the amount of food waste that is thrown out at homes and restaurants is increasing, which is a social problem.However, households with low emission of food waste are applied by applying disposal cost collectively regardless of the amount of food waste discharged. Has complained about the fairness of processing fees.

As a result of the imposition of processing costs, the food waste is reduced and discharged, and bad smell is generated from the discharged food waste, as well as the appearance of harmful copper to feed food waste. As the garbage decays, harmful insects such as flies or mosquitoes gather, and it is difficult for the larvae to crawl out of the food waste container and pollute the surroundings to maintain a pleasant environment.

In order to solve this problem, local governments have recently put food waste bins in the food waste pay-as-you-go device, so that they can be directly deducted from the site according to the amount of waste discharged when they want to discard food waste.

Looking at the food waste pay-as-you-go collecting device to which the prior art is applied as described above with reference to FIG.

The food waste pay-as-you-go collecting device 1 to which the prior art is applied is provided with a weighing means 4 for placing the food waste container 3 and measuring the weight on the bottom surface of the case 2 provided in a box shape. .

On the side of the case 2, a card reader 7 for recognizing a card filled with a cost for discarding food waste and subtracting the cost is installed, and a locking means is provided in the front door 5 and the upper door 6. It is designed to prevent users from artificially opening up food waste.

In the prior art as described above, since the lid 8 provided in the food container is inserted into the case of the collecting device in the reverse direction in the open state, the odor generated from the food waste, even if blocked by the upper door, is moved to the outside of the device. Spills and pests will not escape the unsanitary conditions that are always present around the harvester and in the gas.

In particular, the odor and unsanitary problems are worse when the outside air temperature increases, such as the summer season, causing reluctance to live in the place where the food waste pay-per-use collection device is located, a lot of complaints caused by this.

When the user inserts the card into the card reader with the food waste and the card to be discarded, the key means of the upper door is released. When the upper door is opened by an opener composed of a damper such as a gas shock, the lid is opened. When the food is discarded into the food container in the state, it is added by the weighing means, and the controller recognizes this and is mounted on the card reader to operate the solenoid that is preventing the card from being discharged and discharge the card under the card reader.

In this way, after the food waste is discharged, the upper door needs to be closed by the user by hand, so it is often reluctant to close the upper cover that is contaminated with food waste, and the odor is more severe in this case. It can cause deterioration of the unsanitary environment.

Since the food waste is completely filled in the food container by means of the root canal, it is displayed as normal even when the weight of the food container is lighter than the set weight, even though the waste which is light in weight is filled with the garbage, which is no longer filled. Therefore, when the user opens the upper cover to discard the food waste, it will cause a lot of inconvenience to the user because the food waste should not be discarded and closed again.

In addition, an independent weighing board for controlling the information of the weighing means, a reader board for controlling the card reader, and a control board for controlling the entire collection device are respectively provided so that the weighing means and the card reader are located adjacent to the case and the case independent of the case. Since many boards need to be secured and installed unnecessarily because they are installed and connected, not only does it cause a cost increase of the collection device, but also does not provide easy maintenance.

In addition, since the power is always supplied to the card reader, the collection device is continuously turned on and consumes a lot of power because power is turned on for 24 hours.

In the present invention, to solve the above problems, the invention is placed in the bottom of the box-shaped case is placed on the food container to weigh and measure the weight, the food container in and out of the front of the case A front door that can be installed for replacement, an upper door that allows users to throw food waste into the food container above the case, and a side door of the case where the food waste can be disposed of and paid. In the food waste pay-as-you-go collecting device comprising a card reader installed to recognize the card;

When the card is recognized through the proximity of the user and the card reader, the upper door opening means for opening and closing the upper door after discharging the food waste, and the food container and the upper door are interlocked to open and close the food container. Interlocking means for determining whether to use the food waste by filling the volume of the food waste, and detects card access to the card reader, and when the card is inserted, applies a rated power to the card reader to boot operationally, Card sensor for switching to power saving mode when card is ejected, Weighing means for controlling the main fish for controlling food waste pay-as-you-go device and for weighing the card reader and upper door opening and closing Integrally provided with a PCB;
