It was made to rotate toward the same direction at the same speed.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a device for crushing used empty cans from drums to beverage cans.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Various proposals have been heretofore disclosed as a crushing device for treating this type of empty can, but most of them are of a type in which the empty can is pinched by a strong and rigid board material. The board material is made to face the V shape in the vertical direction, and an empty can is loaded into the V shape space from above.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The conventional method of pinching with a rigid board material requires the loading of empty cans from the top, which inevitably increases the height of the device.Therefore, when processing large drums, etc. There is a problem in the operation of lifting it up.When the board is installed horizontally, a special mechanism is required to feed the can in the horizontal direction, and one or both of the crushing board materials are A strong mechanism is required for pinching, and there is a problem such as an increase in cost.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In view of the above, the present invention provides an empty can crushing device in which the crushing surface is horizontal, but it is not particularly necessary to provide a transfer means for the can, and the crushing surface can be used in the vertical direction as well, and the operation is accurate. The purpose of this device is to make a pair of slat conveyors, which have a plurality of strip-shaped steel plates arranged at a small interval in the lengthwise direction and bound to each other, across a plurality of endless chains in a V-shape. In addition, the V-shaped facing surface is installed so as to rotate in the same direction toward the pointed end, the base side of the V-shaped facing interval serves as the inlet of the treated empty can, and the pointed side of the interval is crushed. It is characterized by being used as a can exit.

[0005]

In the empty can crushing device according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1 showing an embodiment, one slat conveyor 1 facing in a V-shape is placed in a substantially horizontal state, and the V-shaped space 2 is provided at the base end side. If the empty cans are supplied onto the slat conveyor 1 in the horizontal direction from above, the empty cans are transferred toward the tip by the traveling of the slat conveyor 1, and the empty cans are provided at the intervals between the upper and lower slat conveyors 1 and 1 facing each other at the tip. Is flattened and released.

In the illustrated example, a magnet is provided in front of the discharge port of the crushed empty can to select the iron empty can and the aluminum empty can and collect them separately.

【Example】

 An embodiment of an empty can crushing device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 shows a crushing device provided by a pair of slat conveyors 1 and 1 provided in a casing a.

As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the slat conveyor 1 has a pair of endless chains 1a juxtaposed at an appropriate interval and has a strip shape with an appropriate width in the length direction between the chains 1a and 1a. The steel plates 1b were bound together at a small interval.

In the illustrated example, the strip-shaped steel piece 1b is bound between the two chains 1a. However, when the wide slat conveyor 1 is to be obtained, the chains 1a should have two or more strips. The crushing force of the empty can is strengthened by using it.

One of the slat conveyors 1 is installed in a substantially horizontal direction between the pair of rolling drums 1c and 1c in the upper part of the casing a, and is bridged between the rolling drums 1c, and the other slat conveyor 1 has a V-shape. The V-shaped spacing portion 2 is installed so as to be installed, and the tip of the V-shaped spacing portion 2 is provided with a spacing corresponding to a predetermined thickness of the crushed empty can between the two conveyors. An inlet 3 of the empty can, an outlet 4 of the empty can obtained by crushing the small intervals of the tips are provided, and an inlet 6 of the empty can is provided in the container casing a so as to face the inlet 3.

The slat conveyors 1 and 1 are driven by a motor 5 to drive one of the rolling cylinders 1c on which the conveyors 1 and 1 are suspended so that both slat conveyors 1 and 1 face the outlet 4 side and rotate at the same speed on the V-shaped opposing surfaces. Further, the transfer cylinders 1c, 1c that are vertically close to each other are driven to mesh with each other by the gear 1d.

Further, bearing members 7 are fixedly provided inside the V-shaped facing surfaces of the slat conveyors 1 and 1 facing the V-shape to prevent the respective conveyors 1 from being recessed inward.

In the above configuration, when a treated empty can is loaded from the inlet 6 of the container casing a, the empty can is carried on the horizontal lower conveyor 1 from the inlet 3 of the V-shaped gap portion 2 and conveyed to the tip side. , V is crushed between the upper and lower conveyors 1 and 1 at the tip of the V-shaped space 2 to be flattened and discharged from the outlet 4.

In the illustrated embodiment, in order to separate the empty can into the one made of iron and the one made of aluminum, the end portion is brought close to the front upper surface of the outlet 4 of the V-shaped spacing portion 2, and the endless belt 8 is rotated. Magnetic property is given to the rolling drum 9 of the terminal, and a magnet 10 is provided inside the lower running portion of the belt 8 so that the crushed material of the iron empty can released from the outlet 4 is adsorbed by the magnetism of the rolling drum 9, Subsequently, the magnet 10 is attracted and transferred to the front by the attraction force, and the aluminum empty can immediately falls after being discharged from the outlet 4 and is accumulated and accommodated in the aluminum can accommodating portion 12 in the container casing a by the guide wall plate 11. The iron cans taken out forward by the endless belt 8 are detached from the magnet 10 so as to be housed and stored in the housing chambers 13, and the crushed objects of the cans housed in the housing chambers 12 and 13 are opened and closed respectively. The lids 14 and 15 were opened so that they could be collected separately.

The crushing device using the pair of slat conveyors 1 and 1 according to the present invention is not limited to having the V-shaped gap portion 2 in the horizontal direction, and may be used in a vertical shape or inclined at an arbitrary angle if necessary. You can

[0017]

According to the present invention, a pair of slat conveyors are made to run in a V-shape so as to face each other, and the tips of the V-shaped gaps are used as the crushed portions of the empty can. Since the empty can can be sent to the crushing part by running one of the slat conveyors, the crushing device can be of a horizontal horizontal type without the need for a mechanism for supplying the empty can to handle the height of the device. It is possible to make it a convenient low height, because the slat conveyor is rigid and can be crushed only by simple rotation, and it does not require a strong mechanism for pressing rigid board members against each other unlike the conventional mechanism. It is also simple and inexpensive to obtain, and can be used as a vertical crushing device if necessary.
