[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an air can processing device that vertically compresses and reduces air cans and classifies them into iron cans and aluminum cans.

[0002]

[Action]

 When the air canister (11) is vertically clamped to the start end side of the chain (6) (6), the air can processing device configured as described above moves to the end side of the chain (6) (6). Since the terminal ends of the chains (6) and (6) are gradually narrowed due to the rotational transport, the air can (11) receives lateral pressure from the chains (6) and (6) and is sequentially compressed in the vertical direction and crushed. It is then reduced in size and discharged to the end of the chain (6) (6). Since the linear portions (7) and (7) of the chains (6) and (6) have a certain length, it is possible to successively compress and reduce a plurality of empty cans (11) at a time. Also, a hooking tool (20) (20) for hooking and transporting the empty can (11) in the space (8) between the opposing straight line portions (7) and (7) of the chain (6) (6). Since the empty can (11) bites into the chains (6) and (6) well, the empty can (11) prevents the hooks (20) and the outer circumferences of the chains (6) and (6). Since it is sandwiched by the compression plates (10) and (10) attached to the air cylinder, the air can (11) is not compressed and reduced due to strain. Further, the compression plate (10) is fixed to the chain plate (9) forming the chain (6) (6), and the compression plate (10) is attached to the chain plate (12) (12) adjacent to the chain plate (9). Since the back surface is abutted, the compression plate (10) is firmly held by these chain plates (9), (12) and (12), and the compression and contraction of the air canister (11) is performed well. 10) can be formed large, and the large diameter canister (11) can be sandwiched from the small diameter canister (11). Further, the air can (11) compressed and reduced to the chains (6) and (6) is further compressed and reduced by the drums (23) and (23), so that the chains (6) and (6) form a triangular shape. The compressed and compressed air can (11) is flatly compressed and reduced, and its volume is further reduced. Then, the air can (11) compressed and reduced by the chains (6) (6) or the air can (11) further compressed and reduced by the drums (23) (23) is the one of the chain (6). Due to the fact that the compression plates (10) (10) ··· mounted on the outer periphery are magnetic and the one drum (23) is magnetic, the iron canister (11) is a compression plate. (10) (10) ··· Or made of iron adhered to the drum (23) and separated from the aluminum can (11) and attached to the compression plate (10) (10) · · or drum (23) The empty can (11) is separated by the scrapers (30) and (31) to classify the iron can (11) and the aluminum can (11).

A chain (18) is wound around and mounted on the drive sprocket (16) and the driven sprocket (17), and the upper linear portion (19) of the chain (18) is attached to the lower end of the compression plate (10). The L-shaped locking members (20) located between the compression plates (10) and (10) are mounted on the outer periphery thereof in the same number as the compression plates (10).

Gears (21) and (21) having the same diameter are fixed and engaged with the upper portion of the drive shafts (2) and (2), and the chains (6) and (6) rotate at the same speed. However, the chain (18) is also interlocked so as to rotate at the same speed as the chains (6) and (6). Further, vertical drum shafts (22) and (22) are axially supported at the terminal ends of the chains (6) and (6), and the drum shafts (22) and (22) are supported by the drums (23) ( 23) is inserted and fixed, and the opposing space portions (24) of the drums (23) and (23) are attached to the outer circumferences of the chains (6) and (6) of the drive sprockets (4) and (4).

Further, in the case where the compression plate (10) attached to one of the chains (6) (6) is made to have a magnetic force and the drums (23) (23) are lacking, the iron canister (11) is compressed. Adsorbed on the plate (10), carried around to the position of the scraper (30), scraped off by the scraper (30), and the aluminum empty can (11) is attached to the end of the chain (6) (6). It is released and classified into an iron canister (11) and an aluminum canister (11). Furthermore, in the case where one of the drums (23) (23) is magnetically charged, the iron canister (11) is attracted to the magnetically charged drum (23), and is placed at the position of the scraper (31). It is carried around and scraped off by the scraper (31), the aluminum empty can (11) is discharged to the end of the drums (23) (23), the iron empty can (11) and the aluminum empty can (11). Can (11) is classified. In the above, the chain (6) (6) was used as the base for compressing the air can (11), but this may be a rubber belt or a steel belt, and such a rubber belt or a steel belt was used. In this case, it is necessary to make the contact between the guide body (13) and the belt body strong. Further, by forming the guide bodies (13) (13) located at the ends of the chains (6) (6) in parallel, the air can (11) is compressed into a triangular shape and then flatly compressed. It can also be reduced and lack the drum (23) (23).
