Description

Recycling waste collection system{COLLECTION APPARATUS FOR RECYCLABLE WASTE}

The present invention relates to a recycling waste collection apparatus, and more particularly, to a recycling waste collection apparatus capable of automatically sorting and collecting various recycled wastes by material.

In most countries, metal cans, aluminum cans, glass bottles, and plastics are classified as recycled waste, and they are regulated to be recycled. Wastes discharged from homes or factories are generally collected at a garbage collection point and recycled after being sorted by material such as metal cans, aluminum cans, glass bottles, and plastics.

In order to increase the recycling efficiency of waste, it is important to classify and collect the recycled waste by material during the collection process of the recycling waste. Accordingly, in residential or public places, a plurality of recycling waste collection boxes are installed and operated in which users can separate recycling wastes by type and contain different recycling wastes.

In general, the collection method for recycled waste is still performed in a way that the user stores and stores the recycled waste in the house and then throws it away in a recycling waste collection box installed outside the building, so there is considerable inconvenience in separating and collecting the recycled waste. However, separate collection of recycled waste has not been properly performed. In addition, since the recycling waste collection box is gathered and arranged in one place, it is easy to collect recycled waste mixed with the recycling waste collection box.

In addition, the lack of economic value for household waste, lack of knowledge about recyclable household waste, the hassle of separating and collecting household wastes individually, lack of expansion of the base of household waste collection devices, and compensation for recyclable household waste. The collection and recycling rate of recycled wastes such as metal cans, aluminum cans, glass bottles, and plastics is still low due to lack of system.

A strainer 175 is disposed in the air inlet 174. The sieve 175 may filter the label by providing a plurality of through holes having a size through which air passes but the label cannot. Labels flowing from the label removal chamber 152 of the casing 151 into the label transfer path 172 through the label inlet 155 are transferred along the label transfer path 172 and are collected through the label discharge port 173 (146f) can be discharged.

The suction force generator 177 is connected to the air intake port 174 so as to forcibly discharge the air of the label transfer path 172 through the air inlet port 174. The suction force generated by the suction force generator 177 acts on the label suction port 155 through the air suction port 174 and the label transfer path 172. Accordingly, the label separated from the plastic waste Wp in the label removal chamber 152 of the casing 151 may be sucked into the label transfer path 172 through the label suction port 155.

The label transfer conveyor 178 transfers the label sucked into the label transfer path 172 through the label suction port 155 to the label discharge port 173. The label transfer conveyor 178 is disposed on the label transfer path 172 and includes a label transfer unit 179 for forcibly transferring the label toward the label outlet 173.

The transfer screw 180 rotates by receiving a rotational force from the transfer screw driver 183. As the transfer screw 180 rotates, the label sucked into the label transfer path 172 may be forcibly transferred to the label outlet 173 along the label transfer spiral guide 182 of the transfer screw 180.

If the suction force generated by the suction force generating unit 177 acts strongly to the label discharge port 173, a problem may occur in that the label cannot be smoothly discharged from the label discharge port 173. In order to prevent this problem, the label inhaler 170 has a structure in which the suction force does not work as much as possible at the label outlet 173. That is, the label transfer path 172 of the label inhaler 170 has a width (Wc2) at a portion connected to the label outlet 173 is reduced than the width (Wc1) at a portion connected to the air inlet 174 And, a certain section from the middle portion of the label transfer path 172 to the portion connected to the label discharge port 173 is made of a size slightly larger than the width of the transfer screw 180. When the label transfer path 172 is in this form, interference between the label discharge guide 171 and the transfer screw 180 at the downstream portion from the middle portion of the label transfer path 172 to the portion connected to the label discharge port 173 is prevented. While avoiding, it is possible to increase the air resistance by the transfer screw 180. In this way, in the downstream part of the label conveying path 172, the conveying screw 180 obstructs the air flow, so that the suction force of the suction force generating part 177 acts weakly, and the label is transferred to the label outlet 173 by the conveying screw 180. It can be smoothly transferred to the side.

The label remover 150 is controlled by the control unit 195 and can operate for a certain time when the plastic waste Wp is input through the waste input unit 107, and separates the plastic waste Wp and the label, respectively. It can be discharged to the plastic waste collection portion (146a) and the label collection portion (146f).

Specifically, the label remover 150 first strikes the plastic waste Wp input into the casing 151 from the plastic waste transport track 137a with the striking body 160, thereby compressing the plastic waste Wp. The label attached to the plastic waste Wp may be torn through the striking blade 163 provided on the striking body 160 and the fixed blade 156 of the casing 151 and the label may be first separated. As shown in FIG. 15, the striking body 160 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the rotation shaft 157 and moves in a substantially vertical direction with respect to the longitudinal direction of the rotation shaft 157, so that the striking body 160 and the casing 151 The plastic waste Wp placed therebetween is strongly hit toward the inner surface of the casing 151. Accordingly, the plastic waste Wp is transferred to the portion where the rotating blade 167 is disposed in a state in which the volume is reduced by the hitting body 160.

In the portion where the rotating blade 167 is disposed, the label attached to the plastic waste Wp is secondarily separated by the action of the rotating blade 167 and the fixed blade 156.
