Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an assembly according to the preamble of claim 1 where containers preferably for collecting rubbish are able to be emptied by means of one or more robot arms on a garbage truck.
  • Rust-resistant metal containers are also known. When such a container, of relatively low weight, for instance of about 100-150 kg (excluding contents) is placed on the street, it can be easily displaced, stolen, vandalized and/or tipped over by hooligans. Accordingly rubbish in the container would be spilt onto the street to cause an eye-sore as well as possible health hazards. In some cases a container made of rust-resistant metal is considered to be an eye-sore on its own. When such a metal container is damaged by vandals, this disagreeable sight is further increased.
  • European patent application 0 432 306 relates to a prior art assembly according to the preamble of claim 1 and comprising a poster-column container having an inner cylinder body for collecting old glass, used paper, used batteries and such waste.
  • the present invention provides an apparatus comprising:
  • the secureable envelope prevents the container from tilting, tipping over and/or being damaged. Furthermore since the robot arm is able to engage the container through the open front side of the envelope, the container is able to be mechanically lifted and subsequently tilted for emptying.
  • the embodiment of the envelope 1 as shown in figure 1, comprises a back wall 2 and two side walls 3, 4 whilst the front side 5, the upper side 6 and the lower side 7 are open.
  • Channels 8, 9 which are preferably mutually symmetrical, are mounted in the side walls 3, 4 respectively.
  • the envelope 1 is secured at a distance A from the ground by means of foot supports 30, 31, 32 and 33 respectively so that the ground beneath the envelope can be easily kept clean.
  • the foot supports 30-33 are anchored to the ground by screw bolts.
  • the envelope is preferably made from concrete with a washed grit layer thereon.
  • the container 35 comprises four upstanding walls of which a front wall 36 and a side wall 37 as well as a bottom 38 and a lid 39 can be seen.
  • the bottom area is preferably somewhat smaller than the area taken up by the lid 39. Owing to this the containers are also stackable when the lids thereof are released.
  • the lid is mostly provided with a coloured paint layer whilst the body of the container is not.
  • the bottom 38 is preferably situated near to the under edges of the walls 2, 3 and 4 of the envelope, wherein the container is suspended in the envelope.
  • a lid 39 is hingeably mounted on the container 35. This lid serves for the opening and closing respectively of the complete upper side of the container during the emptying thereof. Furthermore two second lids 40, 41 are mounted in the lid 39 of the shown embodiment. These serve, for example, for the opening and closing respectively of the rubbish deposit openings of the different compartments in the container.
  • a contour part 42 is mounted onto the side walls of the container, this contour part being provided on the front side with recesses 44 and 45 for engaging a robot arm.
  • the front side 43 of the contour part 42 has a larger dimension than the rear side, whilst the sides narrow from the front towards the rear.
  • Two projections 46, 47 are mounted onto the container 35, these projections 46, 47 preferably having a rectangular form and which extend downwardly from the upper side of the container side walls.
  • the container 35 In the rest position, as shown in figure 2, the container 35 is supported by the grooves or channels 18, 19 via the projections 46, 47.
  • the container hangs as it were in the envelope and preferably leans against the rear wall of the envelope 2 in order to ensure stability.
  • the front side 43 of the contour part 42 (figure 3) is, apart from the engaging means, preferably provided with locking means.
  • These locking means comprise for example two pick-up units 50, 51 each for picking up of (a part of) a robot arm, said pick-up units each comprising a spring 52, 53 respectively, a side wall 54, 55 respectively and a contra-element 56, 57 respectively.
  • the springs 52, 53 are secured on one side to a side wall 54, 55 respectively and on the other side to the contra-element.
  • the contra-elements 56, 57 are each provided with a pin 58, 59 respectively which is moveable in a slot 60, 61 in the lid 39.
  • a hole 66, 67 respectively is brought into the walls 64, 65 of the pick-up units 50, 51 so that pins 68, 69 of the robot arm/arms can operate the contra-elements 56, 57 and thus the locking mechanism of the lid so that the container by means of the robot arm can be emptied in its tipped over state.
  • the sloping part 75 of the rear wall of the container preferably guides the rearmost bottom edge thereof in order to prevent damage. In a manner not shown, the lid will open, in the tipped over state of the container, and the rubbish in the container empty into the garbage truck.
  • a container according to the embodiment shown can be constructed light in weight. Because the container, as it were, hangs on the projections, cost increasing securing elements on the bottom are not necessary.
  • the guiding means 8, 9, 46 and 47 respectively also serve to correctly position the container with respect to the envelope during upwards and downwards movement and also keep the container in the correct position in the rest state.
  • an envelope 80 (figure 5) comprises a heavy foot 82, preferably of concrete, which is mounted to fit between paving slabs or stones, on which lying and standing frame elements 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87 and 88 respectively are secured.
  • frame elements can be reinforced in a manner not shown with inclined shore elements which is also of advantage when panels 89, 90 and 91 are releasably secured to the frame parts in such a way that these can be easily replaced when besmirched and/or damaged.
  • This also yields the advantage that the appearance of the envelope 80 can be adjusted to the surroundings in accordance with the wishes of the users, for instance, to take into consideration the atmosphere of the residential area or apartment complex concerned whilst for the rest the design of the cover can be left alone.
  • the upper side of the foot 81 is preferably somewhat inclined so that rain water, as well as liquid used during cleaning, easily falls off.
  • the placing of the frame parts on a concrete foot 81 has, apart from the weight thereof which makes displacement of the envelope by vandals almost impossible, the further advantage that the under ends of the steel frame parts 85, 86, 87 and 88 will also stay dry i.e. that they do not continuously come into direct contact with water.
  • a container 136 according to the second embodiment 101 of the assembly according to the present invention comprises an engaging plate 102 provided with recesses 103 for engaging a robot arm (packer) of a truck for example, whilst in the upper wall thereof hingable lids 105, 106 are mounted which can be opened in order to deposit waste into the container 100.
  • the container 100 In the rest position as shown in figure 6, the container 100 is supported on the envelope 80 with a plate part 107 which extends along one side of the container at roughly about the height of the gripping plate 102.
  • a positioning ear 108 is secured to this plate part 107 which acts to ensure that under no conditions the container 100 sinks downwards during sideways displacement of the container 100 in the envelope 80.
  • the container is also provided, on the opposing side, with a side plate part and a positioning ear which rests upon the joist 82 (see figure 5).
  • a positioning ring nose 109 preferably made from bent or transformed steel plate, is secured to the rear wall, preferably on the lying frame part 83, behind which a projecting and transformed plate part 110 grips as shown in the figure 6 rest stand so that the container apart from in the rest stand also during the emptying thereof is correctly positioned, i.e. during the upwards and tilting movement thereof towards and from this rest position.
  • the envelope 80 is preferably provided with a frame part 111 which from a practical point of view makes it impossible to displace the container from the envelope by a pushing motion carried out by vandals for example.
