[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent No. 2546170

However, in the configuration described in the above-mentioned patent document, the barrel insertion device must be provided with three mechanisms of the opening and closing mechanism, the conveying mechanism, and the supporting mechanism, and thus the structure of the device is increased in size.

The technology disclosed herein has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to simplify the structure of the apparatus in a garbage storage body insertion device that is configured to put a garbage storage body into a chute.

The technology disclosed herein relates to a garbage storage body loading device configured to discharge a garbage storage body into a chute, the chute being provided to penetrate each floor of a high-rise building, and the chute is configured to store garbage. The garbage storage body is lowered. Here, the chute extending in the up-and-down direction is provided with an input port for inputting the garbage storage body corresponding to the floor.

The garbage storage device insertion device includes an opening and closing door that is configured to open and close an input port of the chute, and a conveyance support portion that is configured to be horizontally movable while supporting the garbage storage body. The input port moves forward and backward between a first position in the chute and a second position outside the chute; and a controller controls opening and closing of the opening and closing door and advancing and retracting the conveying support portion.

The opening and closing door is positioned at a fully closed position. In the fully closed position, the opening and closing door fully closes the input port; and the fully open position, in the fully open position, the opening and closing door opens the input port to make the support The conveyance support portion in a state of the garbage storage body can pass; and an intermediate position in which the opening and closing door opens the insertion port between the fully closed position and the fully open position to open and close the opening The door does not interfere with the conveyance support portion to allow the conveyance support portion to pass, and On the other hand, the opening and closing door interferes with the garbage storage body supported by the conveyance support portion to prevent the garbage storage body from passing therethrough. When the garbage storage body supported by the conveyance support portion is put into the chute, the controller performs control of positioning the opening and closing door in the fully open position and supporting the said The conveyance support portion of the garbage storage body moves from the second position to the first position; the opening and closing door is positioned at the intermediate position, and the conveyance support portion supporting the garbage storage body is removed from the The first position is moved to the second position, so that only the transport support portion is moved to the second position in a state where the garbage storage body remains in the chute; and then the opening and closing door is positioned at The fully closed position.

According to this configuration, when the garbage storage body in which the garbage is stored is loaded into the chute, first, the garbage storage body is supported by the conveyance support portion positioned at the second position outside the chute. Then, the opening and closing door is positioned at the fully open position, the insertion opening of the chute is fully opened, and the conveyance support portion is moved from the second position to the first position while being supported by the garbage storage body. In this manner, the conveyance support portion that supports the garbage storage body moves into the chute through the input port. The conveyance support unit supports the garbage storage body in the chute. Subsequently, the position of the opening and closing door is changed from the fully open position to the intermediate position, and in this state, the conveyance support portion is moved from the first position to the second position. According to this, as the conveyance support portion moves, the garbage storage body supported by the conveyance support portion also moves toward the second position, that is, toward the outside of the chute, but the garbage storage body interferes with the opening and closing door at the intermediate position. (ie, offset). On the other hand, the conveyance support portion does not interfere with the opening and closing door at the intermediate position, and can move to the second position through the insertion port. In other words, the conveyance support portion moves relative to the garbage storage body supported by the conveyance support portion, and the conveyance support portion moves to the outside of the chute while the garbage storage body is left in the chute. Since the garbage storage body is no longer supported by the carrying support in the chute, it will fall in the chute. When the carrying support is moved to the second position After that, the opening and closing door is positioned at the fully closed position, and the input port is closed. In this way, the input operation of the garbage storage body is completed. By positioning the opening and closing door at the fully closed position, the internal space of the chute can be sealed, and odor leakage or the like can be prevented. Further, for example, in a configuration in which the pressure in the chute is adjusted to control the lowering of the garbage storage body, the pressure in the chute can be adjusted by closing the opening and closing door, thereby controlling the lowering of the garbage storage body.

In this configuration, the input device is configured to include an opening and closing door that opens and closes the input port (that is, a function of the opening and closing mechanism), and the garbage storage body is moved into the chute, and the garbage storage is supported in the chute. Further, the body supports the support of the garbage storage body to lower the garbage storage body (that is, the function of the transport mechanism and the support mechanism). The conveyance support portion also serves as a conveyance mechanism and a support mechanism, and the device structure of the input device is simplified. The conveyance support portion as described above can be configured, for example, by a table having a placement surface on which the garbage storage body is placed. Alternatively, it is also possible to engage with the upper portion of the garbage storage body and suspend the structure for supporting the garbage storage body.

The simplification of the apparatus is particularly effective for a general-purpose accommodation device installed in a floor of a general high-rise building such as an apartment. This is because the general use of the input device is operated by an ordinary person such as an apartment resident.

The garbage storage system is lowered in the chute while a predetermined small gap is left between the inner wall surface of the chute, and in the fully closed position, on the back surface of the opening and closing door In a configuration in which at least a portion is flush with the inner wall surface of the chute, the garbage storage body input device may further include a guiding portion configured to open and close the door And guiding the opening and closing door along the sliding groove at an outer side of the sliding groove, so that the opening and closing door can reciprocate between the fully closed position and the fully open position, when the opening and closing door is Moving from the fully closed position to the fully open position And the guiding portion moves the opening and closing door along the sliding slot while moving the opening and closing door away from the input port in a horizontal direction, and moves the opening and closing door from the fully open position to the When moving in the direction of the fully closed position, the guide portion moves the opening and closing door along the chute while the opening and closing door approaches the insertion port in the horizontal direction.

When the garbage storage body is lowered with a slight gap between the inner wall surface of the chute, it is preferable that there is no step or the like on the inner wall surface of the chute from the viewpoint of smoothly lowering the garbage storage body. Therefore, it is preferable that at least a part of the back surface of the opening and closing door is flush with the inner wall surface of the chute in the fully closed position.

On the other hand, when the opening and closing door is guided so as to be slid along the chute at the outer side of the chute, the opening and closing door can be reciprocated between the fully closed position and the fully open position. When opening and closing the opening and closing door, it is necessary to move the position of the opening and closing door at least by a distance corresponding to the thickness of the pipe body constituting the chute. When the guiding portion moves the opening and closing door in the direction from the fully closed position to the fully open position, the guiding portion moves the opening and closing door along the sliding slot while moving the opening and closing door away from the input opening in the horizontal direction to avoid opening and closing. The door and the chute interfere with each other to open the opening and closing door. Conversely, when the opening and closing door is moved in the direction from the fully open position to the fully closed position, the guiding portion closes the opening and closing door in the horizontal direction. When the opening and closing door is moved along the chute, at least a part of the back surface of the opening and closing door can be flush with the inner wall surface of the chute when the opening and closing door is positioned at the fully closed position.

As described above, no step is provided on the inner wall surface of the chute, which helps to smoothly lower the garbage storage body. When the opening and closing door is positioned at the fully closed position, at least a part of the rear surface of the opening and closing door and the chute The inner wall is flush. Here, it is not necessary to make the entire surface on the back surface of the opening and closing door flush with the inner wall surface of the chute, and even if at least a part of the back surface of the opening and closing door is flush with the inner wall surface of the chute, the garbage storage body can be made smooth. The ground is falling. That is, when on the inner wall surface of the chute, along the water When a step in the vertical direction is formed in the horizontal direction, the garbage storage body may be prevented from falling. However, when the step on the inner wall surface of the chute is interrupted in the horizontal direction in the horizontal direction, the garbage storage body is not prevented from falling. For example, in the configuration described below, a step is formed at the position where the door is opened and closed, but the garbage storage body does not get stuck in the step, and the garbage storage body can be smoothly lowered.

It is also possible to attach a strip-shaped plate having a guiding surface and extending in the vertical direction in the insertion opening on the back surface of the opening and closing door, and the opening and closing door is positioned in the fully closed position. The guiding surface is flush with the inner wall surface of the sliding slot, and a slot-shaped notch extending in the up-and-down direction is formed on the opening edge of the input opening, and the opening and closing door is positioned at the In the fully closed position, the end portion of the strip plate is inserted into the groove-shaped notch, and when the opening and closing door is moved from the fully closed position to the fully open position, the strip plate passes through the groove shape. Inside the gap.

According to this configuration, when the opening and closing door is positioned at the fully closed position, the end portion of the strip-shaped plate attached to the back surface of the opening and closing door and the opening edge portion formed at the insertion opening and the end portion of the supply strip are inward. A step difference from the thickness of the strip plate is formed between the inserted groove-shaped notches. However, the step is formed only in the strip-shaped notch, and is not connected in the horizontal direction on the inner wall surface of the chute. Further, in the input port blocked by the opening and closing door, a step may be formed at both sides of the strip plate. However, this step is also interrupted by the presence of the strip plate. For this reason, the descent of the garbage storage body is not hindered, and the garbage storage body is guided by the guide surface of the strip plate and the like, and descends along the site.

On the other hand, when the opening and closing door positioned at the fully closed position is moved to the fully open position, the strip plate passes through the inside of the groove-shaped notch, so that the opening and closing door can be opened while avoiding interference between the opening and closing door and the chute. That is, the distance between the end portion of the strip-shaped plate and the end portion of the groove-shaped notch is sufficiently ensured in the groove-shaped notch. In this case, if the opening and closing door is moved away from the horizontal direction while the opening and closing door is moving within the distance, it is possible to prevent the opening and closing door from interfering with the chute. This can easily realize an opening and closing structure of the opening and closing door that satisfies the following two conditions, that is, when the opening and closing door is positioned at the fully closed position, at least a part of the back surface of the opening and closing door is flush with the inner wall surface of the chute; The opening and closing door and the chute are prevented from interfering with each other, and the opening and closing door is opened and closed.

The opening and closing door may reciprocate between the fully closed position and the fully open position above the fully closed position, and the lower end portion of the opening and closing door may be provided at The abutting portion that is displaced in the vertical direction is configured such that when the opening and closing door is positioned at the fully closed position, the abutting portion abuts against the lower end opening edge of the input port.

As a result, when the opening and closing door that reciprocates in the vertical direction is positioned at the fully closed position (that is, the lowermost position), the abutting portion abuts against the lower end opening edge of the input port, and the inside of the chute is sealed. As described above, this can avoid odor leakage and can control the drop of the garbage storage body. Since the abutting portion can be displaced in the vertical direction, the assembly error or the dimensional error of the opening and closing door can be absorbed, and the input port can be reliably closed. That is, as a result of the displacement of the abutting portion in the up and down direction, it contributes to a reduction in manufacturing cost.

The transport support portion may be provided in the casing, and the casing may be provided with an input door for opening and closing the transport support portion to support the garbage storage body, and the input door may be configured. In the swing opening and closing type, a pressing member is provided on the back surface of the input door, and when the input door is closed, the pressing member abuts against the garbage storage body supported by the conveyance support portion, and the garbage storage body is provided Located at the specified location.

Accordingly, the user who inputs the garbage storage body into the chute (for example, manually) opens the input door provided on the frame, and supports the garbage by the carrying support portion. After the storage body is closed, the input door is closed. As a result, the pressing member attached to the back surface of the input door abuts against the garbage storage body to push the garbage storage body, and the garbage storage body supported by the conveyance support portion is automatically positioned at a predetermined position. Thereby, the above-described input operation is appropriately performed, and the garbage storage body is reliably and accurately inserted into the chute. This can suppress, for example, the occurrence of an error such as the garbage storage body that cannot be put into the garbage storage body and the garbage storage body that has fallen in the chute is caught in the middle. In other words, the user only needs to perform the operation of closing the input door and closing the door, so that the garbage storage body can be appropriately placed, and the user's convenience is improved.

The chute may be configured to be able to evacuate from the upper end portion of the chute to raise the empty garbage storage body. In other words, the chute has a function of lowering the garbage storage body in which the garbage is stored, and has a function of raising the empty garbage storage body.

In the above configuration, the conveyance support portion may have a table on which the placement surface of the garbage storage body is placed, and when the empty garbage storage body that has been lifted up is collected, The controller performs control for positioning the opening and closing door in the fully closed position, waiting for the empty garbage storage body to reach the floor; and after the empty garbage storage body reaches the floor, Positioning the closed door at the intermediate position, and moving the table from the second position to the first position; and causing the garbage to fall in the chute as the adsorption of the garbage storage body is stopped The storage body is placed on the workbench; then, the opening and closing door is positioned at the fully open position, and the work table on which the garbage storage body is placed is passed from the first through the input port The position moves to the second position.

According to this, it is possible to use the above-described input device as a collection device for the empty garbage storage body. In other words, the input device and the recovery device are realized by a simple structure having an opening and closing door and a table.

The anti-dropping component may be mounted on the workbench, and the anti-drop component is placed on the loading and unloading component when the workbench moves from the first position to the second position. The garbage storage body card on the surface is combined to prevent the garbage storage body from falling from the work table.

When the table on which the empty garbage storage body is placed is moved from the inside of the chute to the outside of the chute, the friction between the garbage storage body and the top surface of the table moves the garbage storage body together with the table. However, when the recycling operation is performed, the garbage storage body is empty, is in a relatively light state, and sometimes may fall from the workbench during the movement. Preferably, the anti-dropping member is mounted, and when the table moves from the first position to the second position to recover the empty garbage storage body, the anti-dropping member is engaged with the garbage storage body placed on the mounting surface. To prevent the garbage storage body from falling.

Here, the most likely occurrence of the garbage storage body falling from the work table is: when the work table moves from the first position to the second position in the horizontal direction (ie, the recovery direction), the garbage storage body follows The table moves in the opposite direction from the table. Therefore, the fall prevention member is preferably mounted such that, on the loading surface of the table, the inner side in the moving direction of the table moving from the first position to the second position is engaged with the garbage storage body to prevent the garbage. The storage body is dropped from the table in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the table. However, when the input device used as the recovery device is put into the garbage storage body, the opening and closing door is positioned at the intermediate position, and the table is placed from the first position to the stage where the garbage storage body containing the garbage is placed. The two positions are moved to move the table and the garbage storage body relatively, so that only the table moves outside the chute while the garbage storage body remains in the chute. Therefore, at the time of the input operation, the anti-drop member in the recovery operation prevents the relative movement of the table and the garbage storage body. Therefore, in the input device and the recovery device, the fall prevention member can be switched between the state in which it is engaged with the garbage storage body and the state in which it is not engaged with the garbage storage body.

As described above, according to the garbage storage body loading device, it is possible to realize an operation of loading the garbage storage body into the chute and accurately reducing the garbage storage body by the input device having the structure of the opening and closing door and the conveyance support portion.

Hereinafter, the garbage storage body loading device will be described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the following embodiments are examples. The first figure shows an overall view of the garbage handling system 1. The garbage transfer system 1 is a system in which a garbage discharged from each floor is transported to a garbage disposal room 4 installed in a basement in a high-rise building (omitted from the drawing). The garbage transfer system 1 is configured by a combination of a longitudinal conveyance device 2 and a lateral conveyance device 3 connected to the vertical conveyance device 2. The high-rise building can be, for example, a building for people to live in, such as an apartment, or a building such as a so-called office building, and the type and use thereof are not limited. In the following description, the garbage transportation system 1 installed in the apartment will be described by taking an apartment as an example.

The longitudinal conveyance device 2 is a device that efficiently transports garbage discharged from each floor of a high-rise building from each floor to a basement. Only one longitudinal carrying device 2 may be provided in the high-rise building, or a plurality of longitudinal carrying devices 2 may be provided in the high-rise building. For example, in an apartment, when a plurality of living spaces are provided in each floor, the longitudinal carrying device 2 may be provided for each living space in such a manner that one living space occupies one longitudinal carrying device 2, or may be shared by a plurality of living spaces. In the manner of a longitudinal transport device 2, a plurality of longitudinal transport devices 2 are provided. In the example of the first figure, the first longitudinal transport device 2 and the second longitudinal transport device 2 are provided, but the second longitudinal transport device 2 shows only a part thereof. The longitudinal handling device 2 is arranged to extend longitudinally along the high-rise building.

On the other hand, the lateral conveyance device 3 is a device which conveys the garbage conveyed to the basement by each longitudinal conveyance device 2 to the garbage disposal chamber 4. The lateral conveyance device 3 is installed in the basement of the high-rise building (herein, the underground parking lot is exemplified, but the place where the lateral conveyance device is disposed is not limited to the underground parking lot). In this example, the garbage discharged from each floor is stored in a reusable box-shaped container, that is, the garbage storage body 5 (refer to the second drawing, etc.), the longitudinal conveyance device 2 and the lateral conveyance. The device 3 transports the garbage storage body 5 in which the garbage is stored or the empty garbage storage body 5 .

The longitudinal conveyance device 2 is configured to include a chute 21 for lowering the garbage storage body 5 discharged from each floor to the basement, and an input device 22 for loading the chute 21 into the garbage storage body; 23, which is disposed in parallel with the chute 21, and raises the empty garbage storage body 5 from the basement to each floor; and the recovery device 24 that collects the empty garbage storage body 5 conveyed by the duct 23. The chute 21 and the input device 22 constitute a lowering mechanism for lowering the garbage storage body 5, and the duct 23 and the recovery device 24 constitute a rising mechanism for raising the empty garbage storage body 5 after the garbage is discarded in the garbage disposal chamber 4 as will be described later.

The chute 21 is formed in a tubular shape, and in the first figure, the chute 21 is provided to extend linearly in the vertical direction through the imaginary floor. The inner dimension of the chute 21 is formed to be slightly larger than the outer dimension of the garbage storage body 5. The upper end portion of the chute 21 protrudes toward the upper machine room of the high-rise building, and the lower end portion of the chute 21 reaches the basement, but this is not illustrated in detail.

An opening is formed in the upper end portion of the chute 21, and an intake portion 25 that opens and closes the upper end opening is attached to the upper end portion of the chute 21. The intake unit 25 is configured by, for example, an opening degree adjustment damper that can open and close the upper end opening of the chute 21 and whose opening degree is adjustable. The damper opening degree of the intake unit 25 is controlled by a sub-controller 62 to be described later, and in the normal state, in other words, in a state where the power is not supplied, the damper of the intake unit 25 is closed.

The lower end portion of the chute 21 is also formed with an opening in the same manner as the upper end portion, and a lower shutter device 212 is provided at the lower end portion. The lower shutter device 212 has the garbage storage body 5 that has been lowered in the chute 21, and the garbage storage body 5 that has been caught is loaded into an unmanned transport vehicle (for example, a Rail Guided Vehicle (RGV)). The function within 7 is not shown in the figure. Further, an exhaust port 211 opening to the side is provided at a lower end portion of the chute 21, and the exhaust port 211 can be opened and closed. When the garbage storage body 5 is lowered in the chute 21 as will be described later, the exhaust port 211 is configured to maintain a space lower than the garbage storage body 5 at least at atmospheric pressure, thereby preventing odor from the chute 21. The role of the leak.

An input port for inserting the garbage storage body 5 into the chute is formed on each side of the side surface of the chute 21, but this is not shown in the first figure. The input device 22 is disposed adjacent to the input port in each floor, and the input device 22 has a function of loading the garbage storage body 5 that has been transported by the user into the chute 21 from the input port, but this is not shown in detail in the first figure. Shown. Details of the structure of the input device 22 will be described later. The input device 22 is further provided with a control panel for the user who discards the garbage. The control panel has at least a garbage type selection switch and an input switch (ie, starting Switch), the garbage type selection switch is used for the user to input the type of garbage (for example, combustible garbage including kitchen waste, non-flammable garbage, bottles, cans, etc., and in the garbage disposal room 4 as will be described later) The type of garbage classification related). When the user inputs the type of the garbage contained in the garbage storage body 5 in the input device 22 by operating the selection switch, the user turns on the input switch. As a result, the input device 22 temporarily opens the insertion port formed in the chute 21, and the garbage storage body 5 placed by the user is put into the chute 21, and after the input is performed, the operation of closing the input port is performed. The input device 22 also outputs the information of the type of the garbage to be input and the identification information of the input device 22 (that is, the information relating to the floor and the chute to the garbage storage body 5) to the sub-controller 62.

Passing sensors 28 are provided on the chute 21 at equal intervals in the vertical direction, and in particular, passing sensors 28 are provided at each floor. Each of the passing sensors 28 detects whether or not the garbage storage body 5 descending in the chute 21 has passed. Each of the pass sensors 28 is electrically connected to the sub controller 62 as indicated by a broken line in the first figure, and outputs a detection signal to the sub controller 62. The sub controller 62 receives signals output from the input device 22 or each of the sensors 28, and controls the operations of the intake unit 25 and the lower shutter unit 212 to lower the garbage storage body 5 to the basement.

Specifically, when the garbage storage body 5 is put into the chute 21, the lowering mechanism of the vertical conveyance device 2 closes the opening degree adjustment damper of the intake portion 25. As a result, when the garbage storage body 5 is lowered, the space above the garbage storage body 5 in the chute 21 is restricted by the inflow of air and becomes a negative pressure. On the other hand, the exhaust port 211 at the lower end of the chute 21 is opened. According to this, even if the garbage storage body 5 is lowered, air can flow out from the chute 21 without hindrance in the space on the lower side of the garbage storage body 5. Therefore, the space on the lower side of the chute 21 is maintained at atmospheric pressure. As described above, when the garbage storage body 5 is lowered, the internal pressure in the chute 21 is maintained at or below atmospheric pressure or atmospheric pressure, so that odor leakage can be effectively suppressed.

Further, the descending speed of the garbage storage body 5 is lowered by the suction force from the negative pressure of the space above the garbage storage body 5 . Therefore, the negative pressure can be adjusted by adjusting the opening degree of the damper by adjusting the opening degree of the intake unit 25, and the descending speed can be adjusted according to the mass of the garbage storage body 5. The sub controller 62 calculates the descending speed of the garbage storage body 5 based on the detection signals from the respective passing sensors 28, and adjusts the opening degree of the opening degree adjusting damper according to the level of the falling speed.

Further, when it is detected by the detection signal from the sensor 28 that the garbage storage body 5 has reached the reference position from the lower end of the chute 21 to the predetermined height, the sub-controller 62 adjusts the opening degree of the suction portion 25 to the damper. Fully closed. Thereby, the descending speed of the garbage storage body 5 can be reduced, and the impact when the lower shutter device 212 catches the garbage storage body 5 can be alleviated, and noise generation or damage of the garbage storage body 5 can be effectively prevented.

After the lower shutter device 212 catches the garbage storage body 5, the sub-controller 62 loads the garbage storage body 5 on the RGV 7 by controlling the lower shutter device 212.

On the other hand, the duct 23 is formed in a tubular shape similarly to the chute 21, and is provided so as to extend linearly in the vertical direction through each floor. The inner dimension of the duct 23 is slightly larger than the outer dimension of the garbage storage body 5. The upper end of the duct 23 also protrudes toward the upper machine room of the high-rise building, and the lower end of the duct 23 reaches the basement.

An opening is also formed in the upper end portion of the duct 23. Unlike the chute 21, an exhaust device 27 for forcibly discharging the air in the duct 23 to the outside is attached to the upper end portion. The exhaust device 27 is constituted by, for example, a fan, and the sub-controller 62 controls the operation of the fan.

A lower shutter device 232 is provided at a lower end portion of the duct 23, and the lower shutter device 232 is for sucking up the garbage storage body 5 mounted on the RGV 7 and pulling the garbage storage body 5 into the duct 23, but this is not detailed. Shown. The lower shutter device 212 attached to the lower end portion of the chute 21 has the same configuration as the lower gate portion 232 attached to the lower end portion of the duct 23. Further, a lower end portion of the duct 23 is provided The intake port 231 opens to the side, and the intake port 231 can be opened and closed. As will be described later, when the exhaust device 27 is operated to forcibly discharge the air in the duct from above, the intake port 231 functions to take in air from the lower side of the duct 23 into the duct 23.

A recovery port for collecting the garbage storage body 5 in the duct 23 is also formed on each side of the duct 23 on the side of the duct 23, but this is not illustrated in the first figure. The recovery device 24 is disposed adjacent to the recovery port in each floor, and the recovery device 24 has a function of pulling out the empty garbage storage body 5 that has risen in the duct 23 from the recovery port to the outside of the duct 23, but this function is not recovered. Detailed illustration. Details of the structure of the recovery device 24 will be described later.

A pass sensor 29 is also provided in the duct 23, and a pass sensor in the duct 23 is provided at each floor. Each of the passing sensors 29 detects whether or not the garbage storage body 5 that has risen in the duct 23 has passed. Each of the pass sensors 29 is electrically connected to the sub controller 62 as shown by a broken line in the first figure, and outputs a detection signal thereof to the sub controller 62.

The raising mechanism of the vertical conveyance device 2 configured as described above is controlled by the sub controller 62 to perform the following operation to raise the empty garbage storage body 5. In other words, when the RGV 7 loaded with the empty garbage storage body 5 is stopped at the lower position of the duct 23, the exhaust device 27 is actuated to make the inside of the duct 23 a negative pressure, and the empty garbage storage body 5 passes through the lower shutter device as will be described later. The 232 is sucked up into the duct 23, and the empty garbage storage body 5 rises inside the duct 23. The sub-controller 62 determines, based on the detection signal by the sensor 29, whether or not the garbage storage body 5 that has risen in the duct 23 has passed through the floor (hereinafter referred to as a discharge floor) from which the garbage storage body 5 has been discharged.

When it is detected by the detection signal of the sensor 29 that the empty garbage storage body 5 has passed through the discharge floor, the sub-controller 62 instructs the recovery means 24 of the discharge floor to collect the garbage storage body 5. The recovery device 24 catches the empty garbage storage body 5. this At this time, the exhaust device 27 is stopped. The recovery device 24 pulls the empty garbage storage body 5 that has been caught through the recovery port out of the duct 23. In this way, the recycling of the empty garbage storage body 5 is completed.

As described above, in the garbage transfer system 1, the garbage storage body 5 discharged through the input device 22 on each floor is returned to the empty state via the recovery device 24 of the floor.

In the illustrated example, the chute 21 for lowering the garbage storage body 5 and the duct 23 for raising the empty garbage storage body 5 are separately provided. However, a chute (or a duct) may be used. The garbage storage body 5 is lowered and the empty garbage storage body 5 is raised. As described above, the lower shutter device 212 attached to the lower end portion of the chute 21 has the same structure as the lower shutter device 232 attached to the lower end portion of the duct 23, and has the following two functions, that is, the function of catching and discharging the garbage storage body 5 And the function of sucking up and pulling in the garbage storage body 5. Further, the configuration of the input device 22 and the recovery device 24 is substantially the same, and substantially has the following two functions, that is, the function of the garbage storage body 5 being inserted into the chute 21, and the empty garbage storage body 5 is recovered from the duct 23. Function, the details of which are described later.

The lateral conveying device 3 is configured to include a traveling path 31 that is formed to form a predetermined path on the ground of the underground parking lot, and an RGV 7 that travels along the traveling path 31. The traveling path 31 is configured to connect the longitudinal conveying device 2 and the garbage processing chamber 4. Specifically, the traveling path 31 is configured in a loop shape in which the outward path 311 and the return path 312 are annularly connected, and the outward path 311 connects the garbage processing chamber 4 and the chute 21 of each longitudinal conveying device 2, and the return path 312 The waste treatment chamber 4 and the conduit 23 of each longitudinal conveying device 2 are connected. It should be noted that, in the first figure, for the convenience of illustration, the outward path 311 and the return path 312 are vertically shifted up and down, and the upper part of the chain line is used as the outward path 311, and the chain is shorter than the point. The lower portion of the line acts as the return path 312, but actually the path 311 and the return path The passages 312 are disposed at positions of the same height. The RGV 7 travels along the annular travel path 31 in the clockwise direction (i.e., unidirectional) in the first figure. The RGV 7 transports the garbage storage body 5 to the garbage disposal chamber 4 in a state in which the garbage storage body 5 discharged from each of the chutes 21 is loaded, and the garbage is discarded in the garbage disposal chamber 4 and the internal clearance is performed. In the state of the garbage storage body 5, the garbage storage body 5 is conveyed to the duct 23. It should be noted that in the first figure, for convenience of explanation, a plurality of RGVs 7 are shown, but the number of RGVs 7 may be an appropriate number. Further, the traveling path 31 is not limited to being configured in a ring shape.

The garbage disposal room 4 is a room in which the garbage is temporarily stored in front of the garbage collection vehicle in a state in which the garbage discharged from each floor of the high-rise building is classified by type, and in this example, the garbage disposal room 4 is provided. An area in the underground parking lot of a high-rise building. In the illustrated example, the first storage container 41, the second storage container 42, and the third storage container 43 are arranged in the garbage processing chamber 4 in the traveling direction of the RGV 7. Each of the storage containers 41, 42, 43 is a container for storing garbage by type. In the garbage disposal chamber 4, the respective storage containers 41, 42, and 43 are provided with the garbage for loading the garbage storage body 5 loaded on the RGV 7 into the first storage container to the third storage container 41, The first inverting device to the third inverting device 44, 45, 46 of 42, 43. It should be noted that the number of the storage containers and the inverting devices provided in the garbage disposal chamber 4 can be set to an appropriate number according to the number of garbage types to be classified.

The RGV 7 is provided with a four-wheeled vehicle for loading the rack 73 of the garbage storage body 5, but this is not illustrated in detail, and the RGV 7 is guided by the guide rail provided along the traveling path 31 to automatically travel along the traveling path 31, that is, The RGV 7 transports the garbage storage body 5 in which the garbage is stored between the respective chutes 21 and the garbage processing chamber 4, and transports the empty garbage storage body 5 between the garbage processing chamber 4 and each of the ducts 23.

The garbage handling system 1 is supported by the main controller 61 and corresponding to each longitudinal transport The sub-controller 62 (only one shown in the first figure) is set to control. The main controller 61 controls the entire garbage conveyance system 1, and the sub controller 62 mainly controls the vertical conveyance device 2. A personal computer (PC) 63 is connected to the main controller 61, and the main controller 61 supplies information on the operation state (total amount of garbage input, input history, and the like) of the garbage conveyance system 1 to the PC 63. The manager of the garbage transfer system 1 can check the operation status of the garbage transfer system 1 via the PC 63.

(structure of input/recovery device)

Next, the configuration of the input device provided in the chute 21 will be described with reference to the second to fourth figures. As described above, the recovery device provided in the duct 23 is substantially the same structure, and therefore, the structure will be described below as the input/recovery device 80. In the following description, for the sake of convenience, the second drawing is the left side of the input/recovery device 80, the third drawing is the front side of the input/recovery device 80, and the fourth drawing is the input/ The top surface of the recycling device 80 is the front side of the paper in the second figure and the left side is the rear side, the right side of the paper in the third figure is the right side and the left side is the left side, and the upper side of the paper in the third figure is the top side. The side is down.

The input/recovery device 80 includes a table support 81 as a conveyance support unit for loading the garbage storage body 5, and an opening/closing door 82 that opens and closes the insertion port that is formed in the chute 21 and passes through the garbage storage body 5, or The recovery port formed in the duct 23 and passing through the garbage storage body 5 is opened and closed. In the following description, the chute 21 and the duct 23 are collectively referred to as a longitudinal tube 20, and the input port and the recovery port are collectively referred to as a through port 201.

The table 81 has an upwardly placed placement surface 810, and the placement surface 810 is approximately the size of the garbage storage body 5. The table 81 is housed in a frame 801 adjacent to the front of the longitudinal tube 20, and the table 81 is configured to be at a waiting position (ie, a second position) of the frame 801 and a support position in the longitudinal tube 20 (ie, A position) moves back and forth in the front-rear direction. That is, as schematically shown in the third figure, slide rails 811, 811 of known structures, for example, are mounted at the left and right sides of the table 81, the slide rails 811 and 811 have a plurality of knots in a sleeve shape and can be expanded and contracted in the front-rear direction, and the table 81 is advanced from the waiting position to the support position while being supported by the slide rails 811 and 811, and is supported from the support position. Waiting for the position to go backwards. It should be noted that when the table 81 is in the waiting position, the slide rail 811 is disposed only in the frame 801, and the slide rail 811 is disposed in the longitudinal tube 20 only when the table 81 is at the support position. Therefore, when the garbage storage body 5 is lowered or raised in the vertical pipe 20, the slide rail 811 does not interfere with the garbage storage body 5.

In the casing 801, an advance/retraction drive mechanism 83 for reciprocating the table 81 configured to advance and retreat in the front-rear direction is provided. The advancing and retracting drive mechanism 83 is configured to include an electric motor 831, an arm 832 having a base end fixed to a rotating shaft of the electric motor 831, an engaging grooved steel 833 mounted on a bottom surface of the table 81, and the arm 832 The front end is engaged with the engaging channel steel 833. As shown in an enlarged view in the eighth drawing, the engaging grooved steel 833 is a groove-shaped material having a downwardly open U-shaped cross section, and is disposed at the foremost side edge portion of the bottom surface of the table 81 extending in the left-right direction. At the office. A roller 834 is attached to the front end of the arm 832. The roller 834 is disposed in the engaging grooved steel 833, and is movable in the left-right direction while being guided by the engaging grooved steel 833. When the electric motor 831 is operated in a state where the table 81 is in the waiting position, and the arm 832 is rotated in the clockwise direction in the fourth figure, as indicated by a one-dot chain line, the roller 834 at the front end of the arm 832 can be edged with the card. When the grooved steel 833 is engaged, the table 81 supported by the slide rail 811 moves rearward while moving relatively in the left-right direction. Thus, the table 81 is moved from the waiting position in the casing 801 to the supporting position in the longitudinal tube 20 in the horizontal direction. On the other hand, when the electric motor is operated in a state where the table 81 is at the support position, and the arm 832 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in the fourth figure, contrary to the above, the roller 834 can be engaged with the grooved steel. When the 833 is engaged, the table 81 supported by the slide rail 811 moves forward in the left-right direction. Thus, the table 81 moves from the support position in the longitudinal tube 20 to the waiting position in the frame 801 in the horizontal direction.

As shown in FIG. 8 , an angled steel engaging portion 812 protruding from the mounting surface 810 is provided at a front side position of the mounting surface 810 of the table 81 , and the engaging portion 812 is placed on the mounting surface 810 . The lower end portion of the upper garbage storage body 5 is engaged. When the table 81 on which the garbage storage body 5 in the input chute 21 is placed is moved from the waiting position to the support position, the engaging portion 812 is engaged with the lower end portion of the garbage storage body 5, thereby preventing the garbage storage body 5 from being removed. It is dropped from the table 81, and the details thereof will be described later. It should be noted that when the input/recovery device 80 is used only as a recovery device, the engagement portion 812 may be omitted.

Further, when the input/recovery device 80 is used as a recovery device (that is, when the input/recovery device 80 is disposed in the duct 23 or when it is disposed in a longitudinal tube that also serves as a chute and a duct), the mounting surface of the table 81 is placed. A second engagement portion 813 is attached to the rear side of the 810, and the second engagement portion 813 is engaged with the lower end portion of the garbage storage body 5 placed on the placement surface 810. It should be noted that when the input/recovery device 80 is used only as an input device, the second engagement portion 813 may be omitted. When the table 81 on which the empty garbage storage body 5 is placed is moved from the support position to the waiting position in order to collect the empty garbage storage body 5, the second engagement portion 813 prevents the garbage storage body 5 from being taken from the table 81. Dropped. In addition, when the input/recovery device 80 is also used as the input device and the recovery device, the second engagement portion 813 shown by a one-dot chain line in the eighth diagram is configured to be protruded from the top surface of the table 81. The state is switched between a state in which it does not protrude from the top surface of the table 81. This is because the second engagement portion 813 blocks the relative movement between the table 81 and the garbage storage body 5 when the input device is used in detail, and the operation of the garbage storage body 5 cannot be performed. The switching structure of the second engaging portion 813 as described above can be realized by, for example, a structure such as a spring hinge, by switching the standing and lodging of the spring hinge.

Further, a pair of guide portions 802 extending in the front-rear direction are provided in the casing 801, and the pair of guide portions 802 restrict the position of the garbage storage body 5 placed on the table 81 in the left-right direction. Further, as shown in the second figure, the input door 803 is provided in the casing 801, and the user opens and closes the input door 803 in order to mount the garbage storage body 5 on the table 81 (that is, the garbage storage body 5 is placed). . As shown by the arrow of the one-dot chain line in the second figure, the input door 803 is configured to be swing-open type. A handle 8031 for the user to grip is attached to the front surface of the input door 803, and the input door 803 is manually opened and closed by the user. It should be noted that the input door 803 may be configured to be automatically opened and closed by, for example, operating a button. A pressing member 8032 is attached to the back surface of the input door 803. The pressing member 8032 has a function that when the user places the garbage storage body 5 on the table 81 and closes the input door 803, the pressing member 8032 abuts against the garbage storage body 5 on the table 81, and the garbage storage body 5 is caused. Positioned at a predetermined position on the table 81. The garbage storage body 5 is reliably positioned at a predetermined position on the table 81 by the pressing member 8032 and the guide portion 802. This contributes to reliable operation of the garbage storage body 5 described later, and contributes to a smooth and reliable reduction of the garbage storage body 5 in the chute 21. Further, the user only needs to open and close the input door 803, and the garbage storage body 5 can be appropriately placed, which is convenient.

As shown in the fifth and sixth figures, the opening and closing door 82 has a door main body 821 which is formed in a flat shape. Mounting portions 822 that extend in the front-rear direction are provided upright on the left and right side edges of the door main body 821, and the mounting portions 822 are attached to the guide rollers 823 and the ball rollers 824. The guide roller 823 is engaged with a guide portion 86 to be described later, and guides the roller of the opening and closing door 82 in the vertical direction and the front-rear direction. The guide roller 823 is attached to the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the left and right sides of the opening and closing door 82. A total of four parts. The ball roller 824 is a roller that abuts against the guide portion 86 to restrict the position of the opening and closing door 82 in the left-right direction, and the ball roller 824 is mounted on four portions. Each of them is adjacent to a guide roller 823 that is mounted on a total of four locations of up, down, left, and right.

An abutting portion 84 is provided at a lower end portion of the opening and closing door 82, and the abutting portion 84 abuts against the lower end opening edge portion 2011 of the passage opening 201 of the longitudinal tube 20, and when the opening and closing door 82 closes the passage opening 201 (opening and closing door 82) When the position is set to a fully closed position to be described later, the abutting portion 84 seals the internal space of the longitudinal tube 20. As shown in the fifth and sixth figures, the abutting portion 84 is configured to include a sliding plate 841 that is slidable in the vertical direction, and a mounting portion 842 that mounts the sliding plate 841 so that the sliding plate 841 can be opposed to The door main body 821 is displaced in the up and down direction; a sealing member 843 which is attached to the lower end of the slide plate 841 and slides in the up and down direction with the slide plate 841.

As can be seen from the fifth figure, a recessed portion 8211 that is recessed upward is formed in the lower end portion of the door main body 821, and the slide plate 841 is laminated on the front side of the door main body 821 so that a part thereof overlaps with the recessed portion 8211 of the door main body 821. The mounting portion 842 and the door main body 821 sandwich the sliding plate 841, and the mounting portion 842 is disposed on the opposite side of the door main body 821 (that is, the front side of the sliding plate 841). The mounting portion 842 is a strip-shaped plate body extending in the left-right direction, and the left and right end portions thereof are fixed to the door main body 821 by screws 844, whereby the slide plate 841 is attached so that the slide plate 841 can be vertically moved with respect to the door main body 821. Swipe up. It should be noted that the sliding plate 841 may be energized downward by an energizing member omitted in the drawing.

The sealing member 843 is fixed to the lower end portion of the slide plate 841, and is displaced in the up and down direction with the slide plate 841. As shown in the sixth diagram, the sealing member 843 is formed in a U-shaped cross section, extending from the front side to the rear side of the sliding plate 841 via the lower end edge of the sliding plate 841, and the sealing member 843 extends in the left-right direction, as in the first embodiment. As shown in the fifth figure, the sealing member 843 continuously extends from the left end to the right end in the recess 8211 of the door main body 821.

Here, as can be seen from the sixth figure, in order to prevent the falling in the longitudinal tube 20 The garbage storage body 5 is caught, and the garbage storage body 5 is smoothly dropped. The lower end opening edge portion 2011 of the opening 201 has a slope that is inclined upward toward the outer side of the longitudinal tube 20. That is, even if the garbage storage body 5 that has fallen in the longitudinal tube 20 is in contact with the inclined lower end opening edge portion 2011, it is guided to the inside of the longitudinal tube 20 along the inclined surface.

When the opening/closing door 82 is positioned at the fully closed position in order to fully close the passage opening 201, the sealing member 843 of the abutting portion 84 abuts against the lower end opening edge portion 2011 of the passage opening 201, and the inside of the longitudinal tube 20 is sealed. (Refer to the third and sixth figures). At this time, since the lower end opening edge portion 2011 has a sloped surface, the position of the sealing member 843 in the up and down direction is also deviated once the position of the sealing member 843 abutting on the lower end opening edge portion 2011 is deviated in the front-rear direction. . Therefore, if the abutting portion 84 is configured to be displaceable in the up-and-down direction, if the abutment state between the sealing member 843 and the lower end opening edge portion 2011 is to be reliably ensured, it is necessary to increase the sealing member 843 in the front-rear direction. The positional accuracy may even increase the dimensional accuracy or mounting accuracy of the opening and closing door 82. On the other hand, the abutting portion 84 is configured to be displaceable in the vertical direction, and the sliding plate can be slightly displaced even if the abutting position between the sealing member 843 and the lower end opening edge portion 2011 is slightly shifted in the front-rear direction. The 841 and the sealing member 843 are displaced in the vertical direction to reliably ensure the contact state between the sealing member 843 and the lower end opening portion 2011. That is, this structure eliminates the necessity of improving the dimensional accuracy or the mounting accuracy of the opening and closing door 82, thereby contributing to a reduction in manufacturing cost.

As shown in the fifth and sixth figures, a guide plate 85 is provided on the back surface of the door main body 821 of the opening and closing door 82. The guide plate 85 is for guiding the plate body of the garbage storage body 5 which is lowered or raised in the longitudinal tube 20. The guide plate 85 is a strip-shaped plate extending in the up-and-down direction, and the guide plate 85 is at a central position in the left-right direction of the door main body 821, and is in a prescribed range other than the upper end portion of the door main body 821. Extend in the up and down direction. As shown in the sixth figure, when the opening and closing door 82 is positioned in the fully closed position The guide plate 85 is configured such that the back surface of the guide plate 85 is flush with respect to the inner wall surface 202 of the longitudinal tube 20.

Further, as shown in the third figure, the passage opening 201 formed in the longitudinal tube 20 is substantially rectangular in plan view from the front, but is formed at the upper end opening edge portion of the passage opening 201 from the center position in the left-right direction toward The slotted notch 2012 extends upward. As shown enlarged in the third figure, when the opening and closing door 82 is positioned at the fully closed position, the upper end portion of the guide plate 85 is configured to be inserted into the slot-shaped notch 2012 inward. That is, the guide plate 85 and the groove-shaped notch 2012 have a portion that overlaps in the vertical direction (see an arrow in the same figure).

When the garbage storage body 5 is lowered or raised in the longitudinal tube 20, if there is a step on the inner wall surface 202 of the longitudinal tube 20, there is a possibility that the garbage storage body 5 may be stuck to the step, and the garbage storage body 5 is lowered. Or rising causes obstacles. The guide plate 85 attached to the back surface of the opening and closing door 82 is disposed flush with the inner wall surface 202 of the longitudinal tube 20 in the through opening 201 closed by the opening and closing door 82, thereby preventing the garbage receiving body from being formed on the inner wall surface. 5 stuck steps. That is, among the steps formed on the inner wall surface 202 of the longitudinal tube 20, particularly the steps connected in the horizontal direction, there is a possibility that the garbage storage body 5 is caught and the garbage storage body 5 is prevented from falling or rising. However, since the outer size of the garbage storage body 5 is almost the same as the inner size of the vertical pipe 20, the step formed only in a part of the horizontal direction does not hinder the lowering of the garbage storage body 5. As described above, the guide plate 85 mounted on the back surface of the opening and closing door 82 may have a step equal to the thickness of the guide plate 85 at the position of the upper end portion thereof, but since the step is located in the groove-shaped notch 2012, Will be connected in the horizontal direction. Further, although a step is formed by the opening edge portion of the upper end of the opening 201, the step is interrupted by the presence of the guide plate 85. By attaching the guide sheets 85 to the back surface of the opening and closing door 82, the inner wall surface 202 of the vertical tube 20 is substantially free of a step, and the garbage storage body 5 is smoothly lowered or raised.

As described above, the groove-shaped notch 2012 extends further upward than the portion where the upper end portion of the guide plate 85 is inserted inward, and a predetermined interval is formed between the upper end of the guide plate 85 and the upper end of the groove-shaped notch 2012. When the opening and closing door 82 is opened and closed, the opening and closing door 82 and the longitudinal tube 20 can be prevented from interfering with each other by the interval. In other words, as shown in the third figure, the opening and closing door 82 is configured to support the opening and closing door 82 by opening and closing the guide portions 86 and 86 provided on the left and right sides of the opening and closing door 82, respectively. The door 82 is reciprocally movable in the up and down direction between the fully closed position in which the passage opening 201 is fully closed and the fully open position in which the passage opening 201 is fully opened, so as to slide along the longitudinal tube 20 at the front side of the longitudinal tube 20. And refer to the eighth figure).

The pair of guiding portions 86 are formed in a symmetrical shape, and the guiding portion 86 shown in the seventh figure is provided on the guiding portion 86 on the right side. The guide portion 86 includes an upper guide portion 861 that engages with the guide roller 823 and the ball roller 824 that are disposed on the upper and lower sides of the opening and closing door 82, and a lower guide portion 862 that is disposed at the opening and closing door. The lower guide roller 823 and the ball roller 824 on the left and right sides of the 82 are engaged. The upper guide portion 861 has the same shape as the lower guide portion 862. Each of the upper guide portion 861 and the lower guide portion 862 has a pair of rail members arranged in a predetermined interval in the front-rear direction. The guide roller 823, which is imaginarily shown in the seventh diagram, is disposed between the pair of rail members, and the guide roller 823 is restrained in the front-rear direction by the pair of rail members while being in the up-and-down direction. The extended rail member relatively moves in the up and down direction between the upper end and the lower end of the rail member.

At a midway position in the up-and-down direction of the pair of rail members, more specifically, a bent portion 863 is formed at a position lower than a central position between the upper end and the lower end of the pair of rail members, the bent portion The 863 system is inclined in the front-rear direction with respect to the vertical direction. Accordingly, the pair of rail members are configured such that the upper portion and the lower portion of the curved portion 863 are displaced from each other in the front-rear direction. According to this configuration, when the guide roller 823 is between the pair of rail members from the lower end of the pair of rail members When moving to the upper end, the guide roller 823 moves upward from the rear to the front while moving upward, and conversely, when the guide roller 823 is between the pair of rail members from the upper end of the pair of rail members When moving to the lower end, the guide roller 823 moves in the middle from the front to the rear, and moves downward.

When the curved portion 863 is formed in the guide portion 86, the opening and closing door 82 that is guided by the guide portion 86 to reciprocate in the vertical direction is located at a fully closed position in which the passage opening 201 is fully closed, and is opened and closed. The door 82 is opposed to the rear side, and when the opening and closing door 82 that is guided by the guide portion 86 to reciprocate in the vertical direction is located at the fully open position where the passage opening 201 is fully opened, the opening and closing door 82 is opposed to the front side. Further, in the middle of the movement between the fully closed position and the fully open position, the opening and closing door 82 is displaced in the front-rear direction. Accordingly, when the opening and closing door 82 is positioned at the fully closed position, the back surface of the guide plate 85 attached to the opening and closing door 82 is located flush with the inner wall surface 202 of the longitudinal tube 20. On the other hand, when the opening and closing door 82 is moved upward from the fully closed position toward the fully open position, the opening and closing door 82 is displaced forward while moving away from the passage 201, thereby moving upward, thereby avoiding the opening and closing door 82 and the longitudinal tube 20. Interfere with each other. This forward displacement is performed when the guide plate 85 of the normal opening and closing door 82 moves upward in the groove-shaped notch of the passage opening 201. When the opening and closing door 82 is moved downward from the fully open position to the fully closed position, the opening and closing door 82 is displaced rearward as it approaches the passage opening 201, and moves downward. Thus, in the fully closed position, the back surface of the guide plate 85 is flush with the inner wall surface 202 of the longitudinal tube 20. In other words, the guide portion 86 prevents the vertical tube 20 and the opening and closing door 82 that is formed to be flush with the inner wall surface 202 of the longitudinal tube 20 when the longitudinal tube 20 is in the fully closed position, thereby opening and closing the opening and closing door 82. Further, the groove-shaped notch 2012 has a function of delaying the mutual interference between the guide plate 85 and the longitudinal tube 20 before the opening and closing door 82 is sufficiently moved to the front, and thus the opening and closing structure of the opening and closing door 82 is simplified.

An opening and closing drive mechanism 87 is further disposed in the frame 801, and the opening and closing drive mechanism The 87 is used to reciprocate the opening and closing door 82 that is configured to be openable and closable in the vertical direction. The opening and closing drive mechanism 87 is configured to include a wire body 871 connected to the upper end and the lower end of the opening and closing door 82, and a pulley 872, at a position in the middle of the wire body 871, the wire body 871 is wound around the pulley 872; And an electric motor 873 that drives the pulley 872 to rotate.

As shown in the third figure, the pulley 872 and the electric motor 873 are disposed on the right side of the upper portion with respect to the opening and closing door 82. The wire body 871 is disposed such that, after being pulled upward from the pulley 872 disposed at the position, the pull-out direction is changed to the left position at a position higher than when the opening and closing door 82 is positioned at the fully open position, and The center position of the opening and closing door 82 in the left-right direction is changed to the downward direction so as to face downward. The end portion of the wire body 871 (that is, one end portion thereof) is coupled to the opening and closing door 82 at a central position in the left-right direction of the upper end portion of the opening and closing door 82. The wire body 871 wound around the pulley 872 is further disposed such that, after being pulled out from the pulley 872 toward the lower side, the pull-out direction is changed at a position lower than when the opening and closing door 82 is positioned at the fully closed position. Heading upwards. As described above, at the right end portion of the lower end portion of the opening and closing door 82, the other end portion of the wire body 871 is coupled to the opening and closing door 82. According to this configuration, when the electric motor 873 is operated to rotate the pulley 872 in a predetermined direction, the linear body 871 passing through the pulley 872 is wound around the pulley 872, and the other linear body 871 is pulled from the pulley. When the 872 is released, the opening and closing door 82 is moved upward. On the other hand, when the pulley 872 is rotated in the reverse direction, the linear body 871 passing through the pulley 872 is discharged from the pulley 872, and the other side is on the other hand. The body 871 is wound onto the pulley 872, so that the opening and closing door 82 moves downward. The opening and closing drive mechanism 87 of the wire body 871 has the advantage that the wire can be opened and closed by the opening and closing door 82 that is displaced in the front-rear direction when reciprocating in the vertical direction as described above. 871 absorbs the displacement in the front-rear direction.

In this manner, the opening and closing drive mechanism 87 is configured to position the opening and closing door 82, respectively. The lower three positions: a fully closed position that completely closes the passage opening 201, that is, a lowermost position; a fully open position that makes the passage opening 201 fully open, that is, an uppermost position; and as shown in the eighth figure, The intermediate position between the closed position and the fully open position. In the fully closed position, as described above, the sealing member 843 of the opening and closing door 82 abuts against the lower end opening edge portion 2011 of the passage opening 201, and the longitudinal tube 20 is sealed. As shown in the second figure, the fully open position is a position at which the table 81 on which the garbage storage body 5 is placed can pass through the port 201. As shown in the eighth figure, the intermediate position allows the table 81 to pass, but the position where the garbage storage body 5 placed on the table 81 passes is blocked.

Next, the operation of the input/recovery device 80 will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in the ninth and tenth drawings. The ninth diagram is a flow of the operation when the garbage storage body 5 is loaded, and the flow is executed by the sub controller 62. In step S91 after the start of the flow, the user operates the start button provided on the control panel, thereby unlocking the input door 803 in the next step S92. The user manually opens the input door 803, and the garbage storage body 5 in which the garbage is stored is placed on the table 81.

In the next step S93, it is determined whether or not the garbage storage body 5 is placed on the table 81, and when it is not placed (that is, if it is not), the process proceeds to step S94, and display is performed to urge the user to place the garbage storage. Body 5. On the other hand, when the garbage storage body 5 is placed on the table 81 (that is, when it is YES), the process proceeds to step S95.

In step S95, it is confirmed whether or not the garbage storage body 5 is to be put into the chute, and when it is not loaded (that is, if it is no), the process proceeds to step S96, and display is performed to urge the user to remove the garbage from the work table 81. The body 5 closes the input door 803. Subsequently, if the input door 803 is closed, the input door is locked in step S97, and the flow is ended.

On the other hand, when the determination in step S95 is YES, the process proceeds to step S98, and the user operates the control panel to select the type of garbage to be charged. Then, if the start button is operated in step S99, the flow proceeds to step S910.

In step S910, it is determined that the garbage storage body 5 is put into operation (that is, it is put into operation). Whether the starting condition of the work has been established. The starting conditions here include, for example, that the garbage storage body 5 is placed on the table 81, the input door 803 is closed, and the input door 803 is locked. When any of the conditions is not satisfied, an error display is performed in step S911. On the other hand, when all the conditions are satisfied, it is considered that the preparation for the operation has been completed (step S912), and the operation is waited for (in step S913). Then, it is judged whether or not the operation has been approved (step S914). In other words, it is determined whether or not the garbage storage body 5 has been loaded from another floor, and steps S913 and S914 are repeatedly performed until the garbage storage body 5 can be loaded from the floor. When the garbage storage body 5 can be loaded, the process proceeds from step S914 to step S915.

In step S915, the input/recovery device 80 moves the opening and closing door 82 at the fully closed position to the fully open position, thereby opening the passage opening 201. In this state, the table 81 on which the garbage storage body 5 is placed is retracted. As schematically shown in the second and fourth figures, the garbage storage body 5 and the table 81 are moved to the support position in the longitudinal tube 20 through the opening 201. Then, after moving to the support position, the opening and closing door 82 is moved from the fully open position to the intermediate position (step S917, see FIG. 8). In a state where the opening and closing door 82 is positioned at the intermediate position, the table 81 is advanced to the waiting position. According to this, the table 81 can pass through the through port 201 on the lower side of the opening and closing door 82 without interfering with the opening and closing door 82, and the garbage storage body 5 placed on the table 81 interferes with the opening and closing door 82, thereby being blocked. Can't pass. As a result, the table 81 is moved to the waiting position, and the garbage storage body 5 remains in the longitudinal tube 20. Since the garbage storage body 5 loses support in the longitudinal tube 20, it descends inward in the longitudinal tube 20. When the table 81 returns to the waiting position and the garbage storage body 5 starts to descend, the opening and closing door 82 moves from the intermediate position to the fully closed position. In this manner, the vertical tube 20 is sealed and the input operation is completed.

The tenth diagram is a flow of the operation when the empty garbage storage body 5 is recovered, and the flow is also executed by the sub controller 62. Step S101 after the start of the process is waiting for the recovery operation In the next state, in the next step S102, it is determined whether or not the recovery operation has started. Steps S101 and S102 are repeated until the recovery operation is started. When the recovery operation is started, the process proceeds to step S103.

In step S103, as described above, the garbage storage body 5 rises in the vertical pipe 20 and passes through the floor on which the input/recovery device 80 is installed. In step S104 after the garbage storage body 5 has passed, the opening and closing door 82 is positioned from the fully closed position to the intermediate position, and then, in step S105, the table 81 is moved backward and moved from the waiting position to the supporting position. At this time, in the longitudinal tube 20, the garbage storage body 5 is located above the table 81 positioned at the support position.

In step S106, the vacuum in the longitudinal tube 20 is stopped, and the garbage storage body 5 is dropped and placed on the table 81. Then, in step S107, the opening and closing door 82 is moved from the intermediate position to the fully open position, and in step S108, the table 81 is advanced, whereby the garbage storage body 5 placed on the table 81 is moved to the waiting position. When the table 81 moves to the waiting position, the opening and closing door 82 is moved from the fully open position to the fully closed position, thereby completing the collection of the garbage storage body 5.

Thereafter, in step S1010, the user is notified that the empty garbage storage body 5 has been returned, and the manual input door 803 is unlocked (step S1011). The user opens the input door 803, takes out the empty garbage storage body 5 placed on the table 81 (step S1012), and closes the input door 803. In step S1013, the input door 803 is locked, and the flow ends.

In this way, according to the input/recovery device 80 of the above configuration, the garbage storage body 5 can be put into the longitudinal tube by the opening and closing door 82 that opens and closes the passage opening 201 of the vertical pipe 20 and the table 81 that advances and retreats in the front-rear direction. Within 20, the empty garbage storage body 5 is recovered from the longitudinal tube 20. That is, since the table 81 has both functions of transporting the garbage storage body 5 and supporting in the vertical pipe 20, the number of mechanisms can be reduced, and the structure of the input/recovery device 80 can be simplified. Cast like this The simplification of the entrance/recovery device 80 is particularly effective for an input device that is installed in a floor of a general high-rise building such as an apartment, and is operated by an ordinary person such as a resident of an apartment.

Further, by constituting the conveyance support portion by the table 81, the input device and the recovery device can have substantially the same structure. This helps to reduce the cost of the waste handling system.

In the above configuration, the conveyance support portion is configured by the table 81, but the configuration of the conveyance support portion is not limited to this. For example, it is also possible to engage with the upper portion of the garbage storage body 5 and to suspend the structure that supports the garbage storage body 5.

Further, the opening and closing door 82 is not limited to a configuration that moves upward from the fully closed position, and may be configured to move downward from the fully closed position. A structure like this can be suitably employed in accordance with the combination with the structure of the conveyance support portion.
