Description

Can collection device{Apparatus for collecting can}

The present invention relates to a can collection device, and more specifically, to a can collection device that safely removes chemicals from cans containing hazardous chemicals and then collects and recycles the cans.

In power plants and industrial sites, hazardous chemicals are widely used in cans. In order to use chemicals safely, the industry distributes Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) to warn people about the ingredients, properties, and effects on the human body when using chemicals and to request safe management.

In the case of hazardous chemicals contained in can-shaped containers, the disposal method was not specified for post-use disposal, so users often discharged the chemicals arbitrarily by drilling holes, etc.

In addition, there were many cases where general users used cans containing chemicals and then discarded them for scrap metal-related recycling without performing a drilling operation to discharge residual chemicals.

Likewise, in the past, after using cans containing chemicals, residual chemicals were not properly discharged or arbitrarily punctured, causing hazardous chemicals to leak out during the processing process and be inhaled by workers, causing great damage to the human body. In addition, there was a problem that the remaining amount of leaked chemical waste caused environmental pollution.

A hole 126, a can pusher 129 that laterally moves the can 10 perforated in the perforation part 126, and a drive unit that operates the perforation part 126 and the can pusher 129, It includes a switch unit 170 provided on the front of the external case to turn the driving unit on/off, and a power cable 180 provided on the side of the external case to supply power to the driving unit.

The can 10 contains chemicals such as drugs, and in the present invention, it is configured to automatically and safely separate and safely separate and collect residual chemicals from the can 10 in which residual chemicals exist after use.

The switch unit 170 is configured to operate/stop the driving unit. In one embodiment, the switch unit 170 includes a stop button for stopping the driving unit to stop the drilling operation of the can 10, a puncturing button for performing the drilling operation for the can 10, and a risk prevention button. It can include an emergency switch button that cuts off all power in a detected emergency situation to ensure safety.

The input unit 110 is where the cans 10 are supplied into the can collection device 100. Referring to FIG. 4, the operator places the cans 10 on the upper side of the can input port 111 and uses the lever 115. When turned, the pressing part 113 descends and the can 10 flows into the can collection device 100 and is closely fixed at the perforation position.

The perforation unit 126 is located at the lower part of the can 10 fixed at the perforation position, and is equipped with a perforation awl (not shown) at the top to move upward and perform perforation. The specific operation process will be described later.

The can pusher 129 is a component that moves the can 10 perforated in the perforation portion 126 in the lateral direction. Referring to FIG. 5, in one embodiment of the present invention, it is located in the lateral direction of the perforation position of the can 10. A can pusher 129 is positioned that has a predetermined width vertically and is configured to reciprocate laterally.

In the can collection device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, a transparent window 137 is disposed so that the puncturing process of the can 10 and the lateral movement by the can pusher 129 can be confirmed. The worker can check the drilling process and the movement state of the can 10 through the transparent window 137.

The present invention includes a driving unit that sequentially operates the perforation unit 126 and the can pusher 129. An example of the driving unit will be described with reference to FIG. 6.

The driving unit includes an electric motor 121 that generates rotational force, a reduction gear 123 that reduces the rotational speed of the electric machine, and a shaft cam 125 that generates a constant pressing force in the vertical direction to the rotational force output from the reduction gear 123. ) and consists of

Here, the shaft cam 125 presses the lower end of the perforated portion 126 upward to raise it, and then presses the can pusher operation lever 127 connected to the can pusher 129 downward to push the can pusher 129 laterally. It is configured in a moving shape so that drilling work and can moving work can be performed sequentially.

To explain this process in more detail, first, the perforation part 126 is raised in contact with the shaft cam 125 as it rotates, and generates an upward pressing force so that the perforation awl (not shown) at the top perforates the lower part of the can 10. Afterwards, when the shaft cam 125 rotates further and is spaced apart from the perforated part 126, the perforated part 126 is restored to its original position by the spring 126a and is separated from the perforated can 10, and the perforated can ( 10) The remaining chemicals are discharged by internal gas pressure.

Afterwards, the shaft cam 125 further rotates to press the can pusher operation lever 127 to generate a downward pressing force, which causes the can pusher 129 to operate to move the can 10 laterally. When the shaft cam 125 rotates further and becomes separated from the can pusher operation lever 127, the can pusher 129 returns to its original position by a spring (not shown) located inside.

At this time, the limit switch 128 located on the lower side of the can pusher operation lever 127 operates to stop the rotation of the electric motor 121, and the shaft cam 125 is stopped without rotating to insert the next can 10. and is ready for drilling work. Thereafter, after the next can 10 is introduced through the can input unit 110, when the perforation button provided on the switch unit 170 is pressed, the electric motor 121 operates, rotates the shaft cam 125, and the above-mentioned can ( The drilling operation of 10) is repeated.

Figure 7 shows a chemical collection unit provided in a can collection device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 to 3 and 7, the chemical collection unit 130 is located on the side of the can input unit 110 so that the cans 10 that are continuously supplied laterally by the can pusher 129 are located. It is placed.

In the chemical collection unit 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention, cans 10 whose bottoms are perforated by the perforation part 126 move and discharge residual chemicals contained therein through the perforation portion of the can 10. The mesh portion 131 is disposed at a position in contact with the bottom of the can 10 along the moving direction of the can 10 so as to do so.

In addition, the chemical collection unit 130 is a groove-shaped guide part that is inserted into the lower outer portion of the can 10 and can slide laterally so that the perforated cans 10 can continuously and smoothly move laterally. Includes (133).

The can collection device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention communicates with the mesh portion 131 on the lower side of the mesh portion 131 so that chemicals discharged through the mesh portion 131 are safely recovered without leaking to the outside. A chemical recovery container 135 is included.

Here, an inclined connection part 138 is provided between the lower side of the mesh part 131 and the chemical recovery container 135 so that the discharged chemicals descend and flow by gravity and naturally collect in the chemical recovery container 135. It is composed.

Meanwhile, the can collection device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention discharges the emitted gas from the can 10 during the drilling process into the atmosphere through the gas outlet filter 139 located at the top of the chemical collection unit 130. It is configured to purify harmful gases and discharge them to the outside of the device.

According to one embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIG. 7, a can collection bin 150 is included so that cans 10 from which chemical substances have been discharged can be safely recovered.

The can receptacle 150 is disposed at the lower side of the chemical collection unit 130, and when the can 10 whose chemical substances have been discharged is placed in the can collection space 151 on the upper side of the can receptacle 150, the can 10 is disposed of. It is configured to descend and collect by gravity.

Here, the can collection bin 150 can be moved and fixed to the can 10 collection position, and can be moved and fixed so that after collecting the cans 10, they can be taken out of the can collection device 100 and collected separately.
