DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a garbage container loading device for structures such as high-rise apartment buildings, hospitals, and office buildings.

"Prior Art" Today, garbage collection and disposal in buildings such as high-rise apartment complexes poses various problems in terms of hygiene, transportation labor, aesthetics, etc. Namely, there are problems such as spoilage and odor caused by garbage storage, the complexity of transporting the garbage to the collection site, and the problem of discharge time which is limited by the garbage collection date. Therefore, various techniques have been conventionally provided to solve these problems.

As a device that has been provided to solve the above-mentioned problems in garbage disposal, there is conventionally known a dust chute device which is constructed by connecting a vertical pipe extending through each floor of a building to a garbage collection site.

``Problems to be Solved by the Invention'' However, although the above-mentioned dust chute device increases the degree of freedom in terms of time for garbage discharge work, it also has problems such as the problem of bad odors generated from the garbage adhering to the inside of the vertical pipe and the problem of falling garbage. There are drawbacks that create additional noise problems.

Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the input ports for garbage containers provided on each floor of the building were connected to vertical transport pipes installed in the building, and the lower ends of the vertical transport pipes were connected to pneumatic transport pipes extending laterally. and configure
If a device for transporting garbage stored in a garbage container is provided, the above-mentioned problems can be solved. When such a conveyance device is installed in a building, it must be possible to easily load the garbage container into the vertical transportation pipe without bothering the user, the sound of the garbage container falling is small, and It is required to sequentially and accurately load a large number of garbage containers into a transport pipe.

The present invention was made based on the above background, and
Garbage containers can be loaded into the vertical transport pipe without the user's intervention, and it is extremely easy to install garbage containers at the input port, and multiple containers can be temporarily installed between the input port and the vertical transport pipe. To provide a loading device which can store garbage containers, is not bothered by noise when the garbage containers are dropped, and can operate stably.

This is what I did.

"Function" By installing a garbage container in the transportation device at the input port, the transportation mechanism automatically transports the garbage container, and the loading mechanism automatically throws the garbage container into the vertical transport pipe from the end of the transportation mechanism. Therefore, the user completes the garbage disposal operation by placing a garbage container in the transport mechanism. Further, since the input port and the vertical transport pipe are provided apart from each other, and the transport mechanism and input mechanism are located between them, the sound of the garbage container falling is not transmitted to the user, and there is little noise.

``Embodiment'' Figures 1 and 2 show an example of the present invention. In Figure 1, the reference numeral 1 indicates a vertical transport pipe installed through each floor of a building such as a high-rise condominium. It shows.

Further, the garbage container A transported using this vertical transport pipe 1 is constructed by removably fitting a lid 3 onto an inverted truncated cone-shaped container body 2 made of paper or the like. An appropriate number of these are installed in each room and used for garbage storage.

The inner diameter of the vertical transport pipe 1 is formed to be slightly larger than the diameter of the lid 3 of the waste container A, and is formed so that the waste container A can be dropped.
Although the lower part of the vertical transport pipe 1 is omitted in the drawing, it is connected to the garbage storage machine via a pneumatic transport pipe extending in the horizontal direction, and the waste containers A that have fallen down the vertical transport pipe 1 are transported through the pneumatic transport pipe. It is now possible to transport the waste to the waste storage machine via the Further, in the vertical transport pipe 1, a through hole 1a having a size that allows the garbage container A to pass through is formed in each of the parts leading to each floor of the building, and on the side of the through hole 1a, the present embodiment A loading device is provided.

This loading device includes a transport mechanism 5 for transporting the garbage container A, an inspection mechanism 6 connected to the middle of the transport mechanism 5, and a charging mechanism 7 connected to the terminal end of the transport mechanism 5. It is constituted as a subject.

The conveyance mechanism 5 includes a roller conveyor 10 installed horizontally facing the vertical transport pipe 1 at a position slightly higher than the position where the through hole 1a of the vertical transport pipe 1 is formed.
The roller conveyor 10 includes a housing 11
A transport path T is formed between the top plate 11a of the housing 11 and the roller conveyor 10 and has a height that allows the garbage container A in an upright state to pass through. Housing 1
The starting end 10a of the roller conveyor 10 is located on the end side of the roller conveyor 10.
An input port 12 for the garbage container A is formed by exposing the container. Further, in the roller conveyor 10, an inspection mechanism 6 is connected to a portion near the input port 12,
A charging mechanism 7 is connected to a portion close to the vertical transport pipe 1.

The inspection mechanism 6 is located above the starting end 10a of the roller conveyor 10, and the inspection mechanism 6 is located above the starting end 10a of the roller conveyor 10.
It is formed by omitting the first guide bars 15, 15 installed horizontally at a position slightly lower than the height of the lid body 3, and the roller conveyor portion below these first guide bars 15, 15. It consists of a detection port 16 that can be passed through, a carry-out passage 17 formed below the detection port 16, and a carry-out conveyor 18 provided at the bottom of the carry-out passage 17. In addition,
The interval between the first guide bars 15, 15 is large enough to allow the container body 2 of the garbage container A in an upright state to pass between the first guide bars 15, 15, and allows the garbage container A to pass through. At the same time, the lid body 3 is supported by the first guide bars 15, 15, and the intervals are formed such that the garbage container A can be suspended and supported.

On the other hand, the terminal end 10b of the roller conveyor 10
is located at the front side of the vertical transport pipe 1, and the terminal end 10b
A drop port 20 having a size that allows the garbage container A to pass vertically is formed between the vertical transport pipe 1 and the vertical transport pipe 1. Above the drop port 20, second guide bars 21, 2 are provided.

The input mechanism 7 is provided below the drop port 20 and is movable toward a moving passage 22 that communicates with the through hole 1a of the vertical transport pipe 1, and toward the inside of this moving passage 22 and the through hole 1a. pressed plate 23
and a pressing means such as a cylinder for moving the pushing plate 23.

Note that the housing 11 above the detection port 16
An inspection opening 25 is formed in the top plate 11a, and a first inspection door 26 is provided in the inspection opening 25 so as to be openable and closable.
An inspection port 27 is formed in 1a, and this inspection port 27
A second inspection door 28 is provided to be openable and closable.

Next, the vertical transport pipe 1 is
A case will be explained in which garbage container A is put into the container.

Various types of waste discharged from each room of the building are stored inside the garbage container A by removing the lid 3 from the container body 2. Then, when the garbage container A becomes full, the garbage container A is discarded. To dispose of the garbage container A, the user carries the garbage container A to the input port 12 of the input device on each floor and places it on the starting end 10a of the roller conveyor 10. By this operation, the roller conveyor 10 conveys the garbage container A to the right side in FIG.

During this transportation, the waste container A first passes between the first guide bars 15, 15 of the inspection mechanism 6. When the garbage container A passes between the first guide bars 15, 15, the lid body 3 moves between the guide bars 15, 1.
The garbage container A climbs onto the top surface of 5 and the garbage container A enters the detection port 16.
When passing above the guide bar 1,
5 and 15, the garbage container A is suspended and supported. Therefore, during this passage, either the garbage container A whose lid body 3 is not fitted to the container body 2, or
If there is a garbage container 3 whose lid 3 is not completely fitted, the container body 2 will fall under its own weight into the carry-out passage 17.
It falls into the interior and is discharged by the discharge conveyor 18. This garbage container A is then completely refitted with the lid 3 and placed on the roller conveyor 10 of the input port 12 again. In this way, the inspection mechanism 6 can eliminate the garbage container A in which the lid 3 is improperly attached.

In addition, garbage container A is pushed by the following garbage container A.
sequentially passes through the guide bars 15, 15, moves along the roller conveyor 10 to the right side in FIG. 1, reaches the terminal end 10b of the roller conveyor 10, and then moves between the second guide bars 21, 21. do. Second
When the garbage container A reaches the guide bars 21, 21, the interval between the second guide bars 21, 21 is widened by a drive mechanism (not shown), and the garbage container A is dropped into the moving path 22.

If the garbage container A falls into the moving path 22,
The pushing plate 23 is moved to the through hole 1a side of the vertical transport pipe 1 by the pressing means, and the garbage container A is pushed toward the through hole 1a side and thrown into the vertical transport pipe 1. Here, the garbage container A to be thrown into the vertical transport pipe 1 is one whose lid 3 has been confirmed to be fitted by the inspection mechanism 6, and the lid 3 is securely fitted to the container body 2. Therefore, the lid 3 will not open during movement or loading, and no dust will be scattered during movement or loading. Further, a plurality of waste containers A can be temporarily stored between the through hole 1a of the vertical transport pipe 1 and the input port 12. In this stored state, the housing 11 can hide the garbage container A, so that the aesthetic appearance of the building is not spoiled.
Furthermore, since the vertical transport pipe 1 and the input port 12 are separated, the sound of the garbage container 1 falling down the vertical transport pipe 1 does not bother residents on each floor. Moreover, since the inspection mechanism 6 can eliminate garbage containers A with improperly attached lids 3, it is possible to reliably throw in only garbage containers A whose lids 3 are securely fitted. The device can be operated stably.

Note that the garbage container A put into the vertical transport pipe 1 falls into a pneumatic transport pipe (not shown), is pneumatically transported, and is stored in a trash storage device.

By repeating the above operations, the waste generated on each floor of the building can be collected and disposed of in the storage machine. In the waste collection and disposal process, the waste is transported while being stored in the waste container A, so it does not pollute the inside of the vertical transport pipe 1 and the pneumatic transport pipe, and does not generate odor. Sanitary garbage transportation is possible. Further, since the waste is transported from each floor of the building to the storage machine while being stored in the waste container A, it is extremely hygienic and the user can carry out the disposal work in his or her free time.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show a second embodiment of the present invention. In the apparatus of this embodiment, the input mechanism and vertical transport pipe of the first embodiment have a special structure. be.

In the device of this embodiment, instead of the push plate 23 of the first embodiment, a push tube 30 is provided movably within the movement passage 22 by a pushing means, and the drop opening 20
The pushing tube 30 receives the garbage container A that falls through the passageway 22, and is cut out at the same height as the vertical transport pipe 1 and the pushing tube 30, which are close to the moving passage 22. This is an example configured so that the garbage container A can be moved and thrown into the vertical transport pipe 1 as shown in the figure. Note that since the pushing tube 30 needs to cover the cut-out portion of the vertical transport pipe 1, its diameter is formed to be the same size as the vertical transport pipe 1.

The other configurations are the same as in the first embodiment, and the same effects as in the first embodiment can be obtained in this embodiment as well.

FIG. 5 shows a part of a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft is equipped with four push-in cylinders (accommodating parts) 31 instead of the push-in plate 23 of the first embodiment. The member 32 is moved between the passage 22 and the vertical transport pipe 1.
This is the configuration that was set up over the following period. In this example as well, a part of the vertical transport pipe 1 is cut out as in the second embodiment, and the rotation of the rotating member 32 causes the four push-in cylinders 31 to be sequentially positioned in the cut part, thereby forming the vertical transport pipe 1. The cut-out portion is covered so that the waste container 1 in the push tube 31 can be inserted into the vertical transport pipe 1.

The other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment,
In this embodiment as well, the same effects as in the first embodiment can be obtained. In this embodiment, the rotating member 32 is configured to rotate intermittently so that one of the four push tubes 31 is always positioned at the cutout portion of the vertical transport pipe 1.
This is to prevent the rotating member 32 from blocking the passage of the garbage container A falling from the upper floor.

"Effects of the Invention" As explained above, the present invention provides a transport mechanism toward the vertical transport pipe into which garbage containers are thrown, and a charging mechanism that throws the waste containers at the end of the transport mechanism into the vertical transport pipe. Due to this configuration, when disposing of garbage, the garbage container can be automatically loaded into the vertical transport pipe by placing the garbage container on the transport mechanism of the input port. Therefore, there is an effect that the garbage disposal work can be easily carried out in free time. Furthermore, since the garbage is stored in the garbage container and then thrown into the vertical transport pipe, the garbage can be disposed of in a hygienic manner without scattering the garbage. Furthermore, it is also possible to temporarily store a plurality of waste containers in a transport mechanism on each floor of a building. In addition, an inspection mechanism is provided at a predetermined position of the transport mechanism to detect a defective garbage container and exclude it from the transport mechanism. The loading device can be operated stably by removing it from the transport mechanism.
