1 is a block diagram showing step by step of the present invention.

In the method of pressing and separating the empty can is ingested empty can using the can crimping device,

The present invention includes a can sorting step (S1) for sorting cans and foreign matters by means of a proximity sensor installed as an input plate consisting of a limit switch and an input container on an input plate that is the front surface of a main body case and a support frame in the main body case;

A can input step (S2) in which the can is inserted into the crimp separator so that the opening / closing plate installed in the input part is opened only to perform the next step after the can sorting step;

It can be seen that the can is introduced after the can input step comprises a crimping separation discharge step (S3) to separate and discharge according to the material after the crimp by the compression plate integrally formed with the electromagnet.

As described above, the present invention selects whether the input is foreign matter or can in the can sorting step of the first introduced can, and then the can is input to the crimp separator through the can input step, which is the can, and the can is injected into the crimp separation discharge step. At the same time as the pressing plate is advanced by the electromagnet installed at the pressing plate, the aluminum can is not attached at the end of the pressing, and is discharged directly to the bottom.In the case of the iron can, after pressing, it is attached to the pressing plate and retracted. Due to the electric short of the electromagnet, the attached iron can is discharged to the bottom and separated.

Therefore, the time taken to separate discharge step at the same time as the compression after the input is not only shortened, but also has a condition that can be made up to the compression separation and discharge through a minimum step.

2 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the present invention.

As shown, the input unit 120 is composed of an opening and closing plate 122 which is opened and closed by the operating motor on the support frame in the main body case and an input cylinder 128 provided with a proximity switch 124 at the bottom, and the input unit In the crimp separation device of the can consisting of a crimping separator (2) for crimping and separating the cans introduced from the press, each container located below the crimping separator and a control section for controlling the respective parts,

The present invention is the support frame that is fixed by a general fixing method, such as screw or welding through the upper and lower penetrates the crimping separator (2) on the end support frame 110 of the inlet 120 A frame 10;

A drive unit (20) comprising a general hydraulic pump, a hydraulic motor, and a cylinder (22) as the support frame frame;

The sensing sensor 32 such as a limit switch is installed at both upper ends of the support frame frame 10, and the rod 22a of the cylinder 22 penetrates into the support frame frame 10 so that the electromagnet 34 is at the end. The press plate 35 integrally installed at the bottom and the support plate 36 having the discharge hole 36a formed at right angles to the bottom end are provided with a pressurized separation discharge part 30 which is integrally formed.

In the above, the discharge hole (36a) formed of the support plate 36 is formed to have a predetermined width that can be discharged to the lower portion of the contact portion orthogonal to the pressing plate 35 in contact with each other.

Figure 3a is a schematic one side view showing an operating state of the present invention, Figure 3b is a schematic front sectional view according to Figure 3a.

As shown in the configuration, the input injected into the input unit 120 is selected by the proximity sensor 124 installed on the bottom of the input container 128, whether the foreign matter or the can, and when it is confirmed that the can accordingly The opening and closing plate 122 installed therein is opened by the operating motor to supply the can into the support frame frame 10 of the crimp separator 2. At this time, the bottom of the support frame frame 10 is blocked by the support plate 36 formed to be orthogonal to the bottom of the pressing plate 35, such as a dashed line.

As such, when the can is introduced into the support frame frame 10, the driving unit 20 is operated so that the pressing plate 35 and the supporting plate 36 installed on the rod 22a of the cylinder 22 are advanced and grounded at the same time. As electricity is applied to the electromagnet 34 by a short signal of the detection sensor 32, the pressing plate 35 has a magnetic force, thereby compressing the can introduced between one surface of the support frame frame 10.

As such, when the pressing is completed, the operation of the cylinder 22 due to the contact of the opposite sensing sensor 32 stops and retreats. At this time, the pressing plate 35 has a magnetic force, and the can is pressed. In the case of aluminum, it is discharged to the lower container 150 through the discharge hole 36a of the support plate 36 formed as the bottom bent portion of the pressing plate 35 without being attached.

In addition, in the case where the pressed can is an iron can, the pressing plate 35 has a magnetic force, so that the pressing plate 35 is attached to the pressing plate 35 at the same time as it is reversed and then moved backward. Then, the pressing plate 35 is first contacted. While contacting with the detected sensor 32 again, the electricity of the electromagnet 34 formed by the crimping plate 35 is short-circuited, and the iron can that is pressed and attached falls through the discharge hole 36a of the support plate 36. It is placed in the same state that it can be pressed again after being discharged to the lower container.

Therefore, the process of crimping the can has a simpler structure, which has a condition that the time required for crimping, separating and discharging according to the input can be significantly reduced.

As described above, the present invention allows the empty can, which has been ingested, to have a simpler structure and can be made quickly and easily from the compression of the can to the separation and discharge through a simpler process. Rather, it has the effect of collecting a larger amount of compressed cans in a minimum amount of time.
