Since the description is the same, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Upper and lower portions of the chute member 503 are connected to an upper tube 501 into which waste is introduced, and a discharge tube 502 serving as a discharge passage of the introduced waste.

Next, a control method using the garbage chute of the above-described configuration will be described with reference to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 6, when the user reads his or her ID card 42 to the reader 44, the controller 36 determines whether the user is a legitimate user based on the signal transmitted from the reader 44. The subtitle is displayed on the display 46, and if the user is a legitimate user, the user checks whether the current state of the chute assembly 2 is in a dumpable state, and then displays the current situation as unspecified or dumpable. ) To the subtitle and go to the next step (step 410).

In this step, the controller 36 inputs the information stored in the user ID to the corresponding address of the database 40. (Step 420).

In addition, the controller 36 remotely opens and closes the door to open the door so that the user who recognizes the card can dump the garbage (step 430).

When the user dumps the garbage bag G through the open door and closes the door, the controller 36 remotely closes the opening and closing means (step 440).

As the garbage bag G to be dumped is dropped in a passage blocked by the weighing unit 30, the measurement data of the load cells 308 arranged in a large number is changed, and the changed measurement data is input to the controller 36. (Step 450)

When the controller 36 inputs all the measurement data of the input load cell 308 to the database 38, the database 38 inputs the address data corresponding to the ID card information. Save it and add it to the totalizer. (Step 460)

The weight of the garbage bag G currently dumped in this process is measured as follows.

The weight of the dumped garbage bag G is recorded as the sum of the data measured in all the load cells 308 in the case of the initial weight check-in when the measurement data of all the load cells 308 is zero, and the value is written to the controller 36. It becomes a memory. From the second time onwards, the value obtained by subtracting the measurement data immediately stored in the controller 36 from the sum of the changed measurement data of all the load cells 308 is recorded and stored in the corresponding user ID address, and stored in the controller 36. The memorized data is updated to the sum of the final measurement data.

Moreover, the data recorded and stored for each user ID is updated to the value which accumulated the input data each time.

The settlement system 40 reads out measurement data for each user ID stored in the database 330 every week, month, quarterly, etc. and settles the garbage dumping fee (step 470).

The settled fee is charged to the household corresponding to each user ID. (480)

In addition to the above, in step 120, the controller 36 may permit the legitimate user to use the chute assembly 2, and then check the number of times of use, time of use, etc. of the user, and store the same in the database 38. have.

When the weight of the waste dumped at step 450 is measured by the load cell 308, the controller 36 calculates the data and displays the weight and the number of dumping of the dumped waste through the display 46. It is also possible to check in real time.

In addition, the waste bag G to be dumped to the chute 20 has a cover member 22 opened in conjunction with the cylinder member 24 in the same way as the conventional waste chute when the weight or volume becomes more than a predetermined amount. Collected via (32).
