Abstract: A system includes a trash box, a data acquiring device, a computer of a facility, a mobile, and a management server. The trash box is placed in a space facing a road for the mobile in the facility. The data acquiring device acquires collection status data of a trash in the trash box. The management server or the computer of the facility determines whether a collection of the trash box is required based on comparing a judgment element calculated by using a collection status data with a judgment threshold. The management server transmits a collection order to the mobile if it is determined that the collection of trash box is required. The mobile comprises an automatic collection device. The automatic collection device performs an automated replenishment control of the trash box if the mobile receives the collection order.

Abstract: A rack includes: a casing; M pairs of supports that are provided inside the casing so as to extend in a depth direction and arrayed at regular intervals in a predetermined direction; and a lock mechanism that locks returnable containers housed while being supported so as to be slidable along the respective M pairs of supports. The lock mechanism has M rotary lock main bodies that are respectively provided at the M pairs of supports and each unlock at a predetermined rotation angle, and a coupling member that couples the M rotary lock main bodies to one another and allows them to rotate in conjunction with one another. The predetermined rotation angle for unlocking is different for each of the M rotary lock main bodies, and the M rotary lock main bodies are driven to rotate by a single driving source.

Abstract: A rack includes: a casing; M pairs of supports that are provided inside the casing so as to extend in a depth direction and arrayed at regular intervals in a predetermined direction; and a lock mechanism. The rack can house all returnable containers of one or more prespecified sizes along the respective pairs of supports. The M pairs of supports are arrayed in N rows in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the predetermined direction. The lock mechanism is configured such that moving first and second shafts that are provided for the respective rows and for the respective tiers, respectively, so as to be movable in the predetermined direction can switch between engagement and disengagement between branches of the first and second shafts and first and second holes, respectively, of the returnable containers.
