Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] [1] Embodiments of the present invention will be described while referring to the drawings.

[0011] The drawings all relate to a waste container as an example of an embodiment of the present invention.

[0012] This waste containment unit consists of a base unit B and a movable containment unit M.

[0013] (1) Base part

[0014] (1-1) The base part B is symmetrical and consists of a back part Bb, left and right side parts Bs, and a top plate part Bt located above the back part Bb and left and right side parts Bs, and is open to the front and open at the bottom.

[0015] The portion of the base portion B enclosed by the back portion Bb, the left and right side portions Bs, and the top portion Bt, which opens to the front, constitutes a receiving portion Br for receiving a predetermined portion of the movable housing portion M in a predetermined horizontal orientation, thereby becoming integrated with the movable housing portion M. The front portion of the receiving portion Br does not have any opening and closing means such as an opening and closing door.

[0016] The top panel Bt has five circular openings Bp that penetrate vertically to allow the target waste, which are plastic bottles, to be inserted into the waste container from the outside.

[0017] Figures 5 to 7 show an example in which the base portion B has a single roughly trapezoidal opening Bp1 for objects that penetrates vertically through the top plate portion Bt of the base portion B, but the configuration other than the opening for objects remains unchanged.

[0018] (1-2) The dorsal base Bfb, which is the lower part of the dorsal base Bb, and the lateral bases Bfs (lower parts of the lateral bases Bs) that extend forward from the left and right sides of the dorsal base Bfb, form a single base Bf of a constant height.

[0019] As shown in Figure 6, the horizontal upper base portion Bf1 of the base portion Bf is made of a flat steel plate SP, except for the inner and outer circumferences. This steel plate SP also functions as a weight to help the base portion B stand stably on its own.

[0020] The dorsal base Bfb's dorsal front surface Bfb1 is planar in shape, perpendicular to the anterior-posterior direction.

[0021] The vertical inner side surfaces Bfs1 of the left and right side bases Bfs gradually widen toward the front end.

[0022] The vertical outer side surfaces Bfs2 of the left and right side bases Bfs gradually widen toward each other toward the front, then pass through an intermediate position Bfi along the front-to-back direction, and then gradually narrow toward each other toward the front, reaching the front end.

[0023] The base unit B is supported on a mounting surface such as the ground, road surface, or floor surface by height-adjustable support units Bj, which are located at one on each side of the bottom of the back base unit Bfb on the base unit base unit Bf, and at one on each side of the bottom of the left and right side base units Bfs, and is placed in a self-supporting state.

[0024] The portion of the base Bf of the base body, enclosed by the back base Bfb and the left and right side bases Bfs, that is, the bottom of the receiving portion Br, is open downwards and faces directly onto the mounting surface.

[0025] (1-3) At the midpoint of the front-to-back direction of the left and right side portions Bs, upright columnar portions Bc are erected, extending from outside the inner side of the side base portion Bfs to the outer side of the side base portion Bfs.

[0026] Furthermore, lower outer plates Bw are provided on the lower outer sides of the left and right side portions Bs, covering the outside of the side base portions Bfs and rising above the side base portions Bfs. The lower outer plates Bw are upright and are formed to follow the outside of the side base portions Bfs. That is, the front and rear portions of the lower outer plate Bw, above the midpoint in the front-rear direction, gradually narrow towards the front and rear, respectively, and the midpoint is aligned with the front-rear direction. In addition, the upper parts of the front and rear ends of the lower outer plate Bw are formed to slope downward toward the front and rear, respectively.

[0027] The top plate portion Bt is supported on the left and right columnar portions Bc at the left and right side ends Bts located at the midpoint in the front-to-back direction. In a plan view, the rear edge and both side edges (excluding the area near the front end) of the top plate portion Bt follow the rear edge of the back base portion Bfb and the outer edges of the side base portions Bfs.

[0028] The vertical rear side plates Bv, which cover the rear of the back of the back base Bfb and the outer surfaces of both lower outer plates Bw, the rear of the back of the top plate Bt and the outer rear edges of both columnar parts Bc, are connected to both columnar parts Bc via the two lower outer plates Bw and the top plate Bt.

[0029] (1-4) The portion of the rear plate Bv located in front of the rear ends of the left and right side bases Bfs, the portion of the left and right side parts Bs of the top plate Bt located in front of the rear ends of the left and right side bases Bfs, and the left and right side bases Bfs, the left and right lower outer plates Bw, and the left and right columnar parts Bc constitute the left and right side parts Bs.

[0030] Furthermore, the back base Bfb, as well as the rear side plate Bv and the top plate Bt, consist of portions located behind the rear ends of the left and right side bases Bfs.

[0031] The portion enclosed by the back portion Bb, the left and right side portions Bs, and the top plate portion Bt, which opens to the front, constitutes the receiving portion Br. Within this receiving portion Br, there is an open side portion Be that opens to the left and right, located in front of the left and right columnar portions Bc in the front-to-back direction, and between the top plate portion Bt and the left and right lower outer plates Bw in the up-to-down direction.

[0032] (2) Movable housing

[0033] (2-1) The movable housing unit M consists of a box-shaped housing unit Ms, casters Mc (movement support parts) that support the downward projection Msd at the bottom of the housing unit Ms so that the movable housing unit M can move on the mounting surface, a front panel Mpf (housing member) that covers the front of the housing unit Ms, and a pair of side panel parts Mpr that are connected to the left and right and extend to the rear.

[0034] The containment section Ms has an opening Ms1 at the top through which waste can be contained.

[0035] The bottom of the storage section Ms has a downward projection Msd formed in the left and right sides and the slightly inward portion of the back. The left and right sides of the downward projection Msd, the projection sides Msd1, are vertical planes that gradually narrow inward in a symmetrical manner toward the rear, while the back of the downward projection Msd, the projection back Msd2, is a vertical plane perpendicular to the front-to-back direction.

[0036] (2-2) The movable containment section M is received by the receiving section Br of the base section B at the rear side portion Ms2 (a predetermined portion) of the containment section Ms, and becomes integrated with the base section B. When a PET bottle, which is the target waste, is inserted through the circular opening Bp (external opening) provided in the top plate portion Bt of the base section B, the PET bottle can be contained in the containment section Ms through the receiving opening Ms1. In this state, the front part of the movable containment section M, including the front panel Mpf, constitutes the front part of the outer periphery of the waste containment from the lower part to the upper end (up to the upper end as a predetermined upper position). Furthermore, in this state, the waste containment does not have any openings on the top or outer periphery except for the circular opening Bp (external opening).

[0037] The movable containment unit M includes a device for photographing the situation inside the containment unit Ms, a display device Md located above the front panel Mpf for showing the video or images and other information to an outsider, a speaker for outputting sound, a communication device for communicating with management devices and terminal devices in other locations, a control device for controlling these devices, and a power supply device for them.

[0038] (2-3) The movable containment unit M can be moved forward while being supported on the mounting surface by casters Mc, thereby releasing its integrated state with the base unit B and moving it separately from the base unit B. For example, it can be moved to a location with waste collection equipment to discharge the waste contained in the containment unit Ms. When the movable containment unit M is separated from the base unit B, the receiving unit Br is open in a nearly horizontal direction to the front.

[0039] The movable containment unit M, separated from the base unit B, is supported on the mounting surface by casters Mc in a position and orientation where its left and right centerlines coincide with or are nearly coincide with the receiving section Br of the base unit B, and the receiving section Br is located behind it. By moving toward the back of the receiving section Br (moving in a predetermined direction), the rear portion Ms2 of the containment section Ms of the movable containment unit M is received by the receiving section Br, and it becomes integrated with the base unit B. As a result, the receiving section Br is closed by the movable containment unit M, and waste can be stored in the containment section Ms.

[0040] The pair of panel side portions Mpr (separating vertical plate-like portions) are separated from both sides of a predetermined portion which is the rear side portion Ms2 of the storage portion Ms, and in a state where the base portion B and the movable storage portion M are integrated to form a waste storage body, the left and right sides of the left and right open side portions Be of the base portion B are covered so that the interior is not exposed.

[0041] Furthermore, when the movable housing unit M, which is integrated with the base unit B, moves and separates from the base unit B, and when the separated movable housing unit M moves and becomes integrated with the base unit B, the pair of panel side parts Mpr (separating vertical plate-like parts) can prevent the movable housing unit M from tilting laterally relative to the base unit B and from tipping over as much as possible.

[0042] (3) When the movable housing M separated from the base B is supported on the mounting surface by the caster Mc as described above, if the direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction in a plan view is defined as direction A, then the movable housing M has, as a pair of base-side guide portions facing each other in direction A, left and right inner side surfaces Bfs1 that are perpendicular to the left and right side bases Bfs that gradually widen outward toward the front, respectively, In direction A, the two opposing guide portions on the housing side each have left and right side surfaces Msd1 of a downward projection Msd that gradually narrows inward toward the rear, arranged symmetrically.

[0043] The inner side surfaces Bfs1 of the left and right side bases Bfs, and the left and right protruding side surfaces Msd1 of the downward projection Msd, are formed such that they gradually widen or narrow at corresponding angles to the corresponding positions on the base B and the movable housing M, respectively.

[0044] As the movable housing unit M, separated from the base unit B, is supported on the mounting surface by casters Mc in a position and orientation where its left and right centerlines coincide with or are nearly coincide with the receiving portion Br of the base unit B, and the receiving portion Br is located behind it, the movable housing unit M moves toward the back of the receiving portion Br. This causes the left and right protruding side surfaces Msd1 of the downward protrusion Msd in the housing portion Ms of the movable housing unit M to be guided by the vertical inner side surfaces Bfs1 of the left and right side bases Bfs of the base unit B. The rear side portion Ms2 of the housing portion Ms is received by the receiving portion Br with the rear protrusion Msd2 of the downward protrusion Msd in the housing portion Ms facing the rear front surface Bfb1 of the rear base Bfb of the base unit B, and the movable housing unit M and the base unit B become one integrated unit.

[0045] [2] Embodiments of the present invention will be further described, including embodiments other than those described above.

[0046] The object containment body of the present invention comprises a movable containment body portion and a base portion.

[0047] (1) Base part

[0048] (1-1) The base can be, for example, placed on a mounting surface, or it can be fixed to a building, the ground, a road surface, a moving object (e.g., a ship, a railway vehicle, an automobile, an aircraft, etc.).

[0049] (1-2) The base portion has a receiving portion for receiving a predetermined portion of the movable housing portion in a substantially horizontal direction and becoming integrated with the movable housing portion. The receiving portion can be made to open (e.g., open or open) in, for example, the front direction (or other substantially horizontal direction) to receive a predetermined portion of the movable housing portion. It is preferable that the bottom of the receiving portion is open (directly facing the surface on which the base portion is placed), but for example, a bottom plate portion or other bottom structure can be provided at the lower end position, or a bottom plate portion or other structure can be provided at an upper position such as slightly above the lower end position, and a corresponding structure can be provided on the movable housing portion (for example, a structure that fits together with the base portion and the movable housing portion can become integrated). It is not necessary to provide an opening and closing mechanism for opening and closing the substantially horizontally open portion of the receiving portion.

[0050] (1-3) The base unit may have an opening for objects (external opening) on ​​the top, side, both the top and side, or extending both the top and side, for bringing waste, recyclable materials, or other materials (garbage, plastic bottles, empty cans, glass bottles, waste such as newspapers and magazines, or materials recovered for reuse or as resources, and other materials) into the object container from the outside. It may also have multiple types of openings for objects to accommodate multiple types of objects. Furthermore, the opening for objects (external opening) may be located on the movable container unit instead of the base unit.

[0051] (1-4) Examples of base parts include: It mainly consists of a back and both sides (the back and sides can be, for example, a plate-like part or a combination of a plate-like part and a columnar part), and can be self-supporting on a mounting surface in a form that opens to the front. It mainly consists of a back and side sections and a top section (for example, a top section supported by all or part of the back and side sections), and can be placed on a mounting surface in an open configuration facing forward. These include those having an opening for an object in the upper part of the back or side or in the top plate, or having a front upper plate-like part with an opening for an object formed in the upper front. We can list some examples.

[0052] If the base is designed to be self-supporting on a mounting surface, a weight can be added to the bottom to enhance its self-supporting stability.

[0053] (2) Movable housing

[0054] (2-1) The movable housing unit comprises a housing unit and a movable support unit, and is supported on a mounting surface by the movable support unit.

[0055] (2-2) The storage section has an opening at least on the top or side, through which waste, collected materials, or other items to be stored can be stored, and can be, for example, a box-shaped section or a bag-shaped section. Opening an opening at least on the top or side means opening an opening on either the top or side, on both the top and side, or across both the top and side, and the side does not matter as to the direction, such as the front side, back side, left or right side, etc.

[0056] When the base portion has an opening for an object (external opening), and the base portion and the movable housing portion are integrated and used for housing an object, the object can be housed in the housing portion from the outside through the opening for an object in the base portion and further through the receiving opening of the housing portion. When the movable housing portion is integrated with the base portion, the movable housing portion can constitute a portion of the outer periphery of the object housing (for example, the front portion, or the front portion of the front portion and both sides) from the lower part to a predetermined upper position (for example, the upper end or a position at a height not reaching the upper end).

[0057] If the base does not have an opening for the object, the object can be housed in the housing through a receiving opening (external opening) (for example, a receiving opening that opens to the front or side) of the housing from the outside.

[0058] (2-3) The support for movement is preferably a rolling support that does not depend on the direction of rolling, such as a swivel wheel (caster) or a free ball bearing, but is not limited to this as long as it enables the movable housing to move on the mounting surface with low friction loss.

[0059] (2-4) The movable container is received by the receiving part of the base at a certain point, for example, to form an integrated unit and become usable for storing objects. The certain point is preferably, for example, the rear side portion of the movable container, but is not limited to the rear side portion. The integrated state can be, for example, a state where it is connected by a releaseable coupling, but a coupling is not particularly required. The state in which it can be used for storing objects is, for example, a state in which it can be used as a garbage container, a plastic bottle container, an empty can container, a magazine / newspaper container, etc.

[0060] (2-5) The movable housing section is supported on the mounting surface by the movable support section, and can be released from the integrated state and moved separately from the base section. The separated and moved movable housing section can be made to integrate with the base section again by moving.

[0061] For example, a movable housing unit separated from the base unit can be supported on a mounting surface by a movable support unit at a predetermined position and orientation relative to the receiving portion of the base unit (for example, a position and orientation where the left and right centerlines coincide or are nearly coincide, and the receiving portion is located towards the rear), and then moved in a predetermined direction toward the back of the receiving portion, so that a predetermined portion of the movable housing unit is received by the receiving portion and becomes integrated with the base unit.

[0062] Furthermore, when the movable containment section is separated from the base section, the receiving section may be open in a substantially horizontal direction, and when the movable containment section is integrated with the base section, the receiving section may be closed or shut by the movable containment section. In this state, the object containment can be designed so that it is substantially closed on the top and outer periphery, except for the external opening.

[0063] (2-6) The movable containment unit can be separated from the base unit and supported on a mounting surface by a movable support unit, and moved to a required location (such as a location with a facility for retrieving the contained object), thereby allowing the object contained in the containment unit to be discharged at the required location. Furthermore, it can be moved to the original base unit or another base unit and received into the receiving section of that base unit to form an integrated unit, which can then be used for containing the object.

[0064] (3) When the movable housing unit separated from the base unit is supported on the mounting surface by the movable support unit at a predetermined position and orientation relative to the receiving portion of the base unit as described above, if the direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction in a plan view is defined as direction A, In direction A, a pair of housing-side guide portions and a pair of base-side guide portions facing each other can be located at mutually corresponding positions on the movable housing portion and the base portion, respectively.

[0065] In that case, the pair of base-side guide portions, the distance between them in direction A, gradually narrows or widens in the predetermined direction. The pair of housing-side guide portions can be such that the spacing between them in direction A gradually narrows or widens in the predetermined direction, corresponding to the pair of base-side guide portions at the corresponding positions. As described above, when the movable housing portion is supported on the mounting surface by the movable support portion at a predetermined position and orientation relative to the receiving portion of the base portion, the movable housing portion can be moved in a predetermined direction toward the back of the receiving portion, so that the pair of housing-side guide portions are guided by the pair of base-side guide portions, and the predetermined portion is received by the receiving portion and becomes integrated with the base portion.

[0066] The movable housing section may have two or more pairs of housing-side guide portions facing each other in direction A, and the base section may have two or more pairs of base-side guide portions facing each other in direction A at corresponding positions. In this case, the distance between all pairs of base-side guide portions in direction A will gradually narrow (or widen) in a predetermined direction, and there may be some that gradually narrow and some that gradually widen, with the housing-side guide portions corresponding to these.

[0067] Furthermore, the terms "gradually narrowing" and "gradually widening" do not necessarily mean a continuous narrowing or continuous widening.

[0068] (4) The movable housing has a pair of separation plate-like parts that are separated outwards from both sides of the predetermined portion in direction A, The base portion has the pair of base-side guide portions on the outside in direction A, The inner portion in direction A of the pair of separation plate-like portions can constitute a pair of housing-side guide portions corresponding to the pair of base-side guide portions.

[0069] (5) With respect to the base unit from which the movable housing unit has been separated, a movable housing unit (basically empty), for example, the original movable housing unit from which substantially all of the objects it contained have been discharged, or another replacement movable housing unit (from which substantially all of the objects it contained have been discharged or which has never contained any objects), can be made to form an integral part as described above. In this case, it is preferable to prepare the replacement movable housing unit in advance at a position as close to the base unit as possible so that it can be quickly made to form an integral part with the base unit.

[0070] (6) The movement of the movable housing unit (movement from the base unit, movement to the base unit, and other movements) may be performed automatically using an automatic driving system (for example, the movable housing unit having a power source such as an electric motor or storage battery, a drive unit such as a drive wheel driven by an electric motor, a braking device, a steering unit such as a steering wheel steered by an electric actuator, means for detecting the possibility of collision with people or objects and activating the braking device or steering unit as necessary, means for determining the current position for traveling along a predetermined path or between predetermined positions, and control means for instructing each of the aforementioned devices and equipment on the direction and speed to proceed, and executing control by the control means while communicating with a management device located in another location as necessary).

[0071] The aforementioned movement of the movable storage unit can be performed, for example, by a detection device provided on the movable storage unit or base unit detecting that the objects stored in the storage unit have reached a predetermined capacity, and by communicating with a management device or other terminal device located elsewhere as needed, for example, by a person manually controlling the drive device, steering device, braking device, etc. provided on the movable storage unit, or automatically by an automatic driving system, etc.

[0072] (7) In the object container of the present invention, it is preferable that the movable container part and the base part each consist of easily assembleable parts, in order to reduce manufacturing costs and reduce costs by making the packaging compact during storage and transportation. In addition, it is easy to disassemble and recycle each material, and is compliant with ecology and SDGs. Furthermore, manufacturing costs can be further reduced by making many of the parts by resin injection molding.

[0073] For example, the base part is, The base portion that constitutes the lower end consists of a back base portion and side base portions that extend forward from both sides of the back base portion, Columnar portions erected near the midpoint in the front-rear direction of the base portions on both sides, The two columnar parts have a top plate portion supported at a position near the midpoint in the front-to-back direction, Rear plate-like portion extending from the rear base and top plate portion to both columnar portions It may be equipped with the following features.

[0074] In this case, the base portion consists of a base portion, two columnar portions, a top plate portion, and a rear plate portion, and is surrounded by the back portion, both sides, and the top plate portion, forming a receiving portion that opens forward. The receiving section has open sides that open to the left and right, located in front of the two columnar sections, between the top plate and the base sections on both sides. Furthermore, the base section, the two columnar sections, the top plate, the rear plate section, and other parts as needed can be easily assembled by joining them together using necessary fasteners such as screws, snap-fit ​​fasteners, or other joining means. Moreover, the assembly can be easily disassembled by releasing the connections made by the aforementioned joining means such as screws.

[0075] The movable housing has a pair of separation plate-like portions that are separated outwards from both sides of the predetermined portion in the direction A described above, In a state in which the base portion and the movable housing portion are integrated, the pair of separating plate-like portions can cover the sides of the two open sides of the base portion.

[0076] Furthermore, the movable housing unit comprises, for example, a housing unit such as a box-shaped housing unit and a movable support unit that supports the bottom of the housing unit. The housing unit, the movable support unit, and other parts as needed can be easily assembled by connecting them using necessary fasteners such as screws, snap-fit ​​fasteners, or other connecting means. Moreover, it can be easily disassembled by releasing the connection using the connecting means such as screws. Alternatively, it can comprise a housing unit member such as a box-shaped housing unit, a movable support unit that supports the bottom of the housing unit, and a panel that covers the portion including the front of the box-shaped housing unit. Furthermore, the housing unit member such as the panel can cover the sides of the two open sides of the base unit.

[0077] (8) If the base portion of the present invention has an open side portion that opens to one or both sides of the receiving portion, The above movable housing portion has one or a pair of separating vertical plate-like portions that are separated outward from one or both of the above predetermined portions in direction A, In a state in which the base portion and the movable housing portion are integrated, the one or a pair of separating plate-like portions may cover one or both sides of the open side portion of the base portion.

[0078] (9) The object containment of the present invention may preferably have, in the movable containment section, or in the base section, or in both the movable containment section and the base section, a device for photographing the situation inside the containment section and a display device for showing the images or other information (for example, warnings such as prohibiting the disposal of household waste or hazardous materials, or that the disposal status is monitored by an administrator, various advertisements, useful information for users of the facility where the object containment is installed, images or videos that users can enjoy, emergency information, etc.), an audio output section such as a speaker that outputs sounds corresponding to the said information, music that users can enjoy, and other sounds, a device for photographing the external situation, a device such as a microphone for inputting external sounds, a communication device for communicating with management devices or terminal devices in other locations, a control device for controlling these devices, a storage battery or other power supply device, etc.

[0079] The aforementioned display device shows the status inside the storage area, and by issuing warnings such as prohibiting the disposal of household waste or hazardous materials and indicating that the disposal status is being monitored by the administrator, it is possible to deter the disposal of household waste or hazardous materials, other vandalism, terrorism, and crime.
