Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for separating and transporting various kinds of dust in high-rise buildings and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In high-rise buildings such as office buildings,
A large amount of paper dust, other combustible dust, plastics, bottles, and cans are discharged from the floors of each floor in large quantities, so these wastes can be efficiently transported to a collection place in the basement, etc. A device for sorting and storing is required.

Conventionally, an apparatus having a structure shown in FIG. 11 has been considered as an apparatus for separating and conveying dust in such a high-rise building.

In this apparatus, a cage 101 is provided in a hoistway 100 penetrating vertically inside a building so that the cage 101 can be hoisted up and down.
In the cage 101, garbage collection boxes 103 lined up at the entrance 102 of the elevator passage 100 are sequentially stored, and the cage 101 is moved up and down to be transported to the basement floor B _n . Further, on the basement floor B _n , a transfer conveyor 104 that transfers the collection box 103 to the cage 101 is provided, and the predetermined transfer container 10 is transferred by the transfer conveyor 104.
The collection box 103 conveyed to No. 5 is turned over so that the dust inside is discharged to the storage container 105.

[0005]

However, in the above proposed apparatus, since only one garbage collection box 103 can be transported each time the cage 101 is moved up and down, the cage 101 is placed between the floors of each floor and the basement floor. Therefore, there is a problem that it takes a long time to carry because it needs to be reciprocated many times.

Further, on the basement floor B _n , the collection boxes 103 are taken out one by one from the cage 101 and transported to the storage container 105, or the transport conveyor 104.
In order to send the collection boxes 103 to the cage 101 one by one from the above, it takes a long time for the cage to stop and wait for delivering the large number of collection boxes 103 collected on each floor to the cage 101, thus improving work efficiency. It has the drawback of being bad.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus capable of transporting a large number of dust collecting boxes to a storage container in a short time and performing an efficient dust sorting and transporting operation.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a vertically movable transport path with a cage for accommodating a plurality of dust collection boxes which can be moved up and down. A box transfer means for transferring to the outside is provided, and a pair of conveyors for delivering and collecting the collection box to and from the box transfer means of the cage are provided at the carry-in / out port provided at the lower end of the above-mentioned transfer passage. The conveyor is connected to a moving means for moving the conveyors so as to face each other alternately at both ends of the box transfer path formed in a loop shape with the carry-in / out port, and a storage container for storing dust according to the type is connected to the box transfer path. The structure was made.

[0009]

In the above structure, the plurality of dust collection boxes are housed in the cage, and the cage is moved up and down in the transport passage in that state.

At the carry-in / out entrance of the carrying passage, a collecting box full of dust is taken out of the cage on one of the conveyors,
The conveyor is moved by the moving means to send the collection box to the box transfer path and transfer it to a predetermined storage container. On the other hand, an empty collection box is sent to the cage from the other conveyor facing the loading / unloading port by the above movement, the cage is moved up and down, and the collection box is returned to each floor of the building.

The collection box 2 is transferred from b, 11c to each of the supports 7a, 7b, 7c of the cage 8. When the transfer of the boxes is completed, the cage 3 is lowered to the basement floor B _n .

While the cage 3 is being lowered in this way, in the box transfer device 51, as shown in FIG. 8, the carriage 53 is moved to a position where one conveyor base 55 faces the cage.
To move. Then, when the cage 3 arrives at the basement floor B _n , the end of the container stand 55 is moved to the box transfer device 2
The transfer table 23 of the upper support 11a of the cage 3 is slid between the chain conveyors 57, 57 of the container base 55 while being positioned below the transfer table 23 of 0. When the container base 55 is swung upwards from this state, the collection box 2 rides on both chain conveyors 57, 57 and separates from the transfer table 23, so that the transfer table 23 is returned to the cage 3 next. This completes the delivery of the box.

When this delivery is completed, the carriage 53 is moved to move the container stand 55 to the roller conveyor 6 on the carrying path 61.
2 and move the collection box 2 to the roller conveyor 62.
Transfer to.

Further, since the other container table 56 faces the carry-in / out port 32 by the above-mentioned lateral movement, the empty collection box 2 is sent from this container table 56 to the cage 3, and the floor where the garbage is carried out by the cage 3 It is raised to the floor and returned to the floor from the doorway 32. In addition,
The delivery of the empty collection box from the container table 56 to the cage 3 is performed in the opposite manner to the delivery from the cage 3 to the container table 55 described above.

The upper support 1 of the cage 3 as described above
When the collection box 2 of 1a is delivered, the same work as described above is repeated to deliver the collection box 2 of the middle stage support 11b and the lower stage support 11c.

On the other hand, in the collection box 2 which is full of dust sent to the transport path 61, the type of dust inside the identification sheet 31 is read by the reading device in front of the rotating roller conveyor 63 while moving on the transport path 61. Is read, and when the collection box 2 containing the target dust comes, the roller conveyor 6
3 rotates, and the collecting box 2 is attached to the conveyor 64 for pulling in
Is transferred.

This collection box 2 is provided with storage containers 66, 6
While moving on the retracting conveyor 64 towards 7,
The lid plate 30 is removed, and the lid device 30 is lifted and inverted by the reversing device 68, and the dust inside is put into the inside of the storage container.

The collection box 2 from which the dust has been discharged is transported to the box delivery device 51 via the return conveyor 65 and then returned to the cage 3 after the cover plate is attached.

Further, when the containers are full, the various kinds of dust put in the storage containers 66 and 67 are transferred to a refuse collection vehicle, a waste transport vehicle, or the like for recycling or incineration.
