Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for the individualized introduction of objects, such as household refuse, comprising an introduction opening which can be closed off by a drum-shaped outer flap, a drum-shaped inner flap which interacts with the drum-shaped outer flap and is able to open a discharge opening to a store, such as a household-refuse store, the interaction between outer flap and inner flap being such that when the introduction opening is open the inner flap closes off the discharge opening, in order in this way to define a limited introduction volume.
  • Devices of this nature are placed on containers, which may or may not be arranged beneath the ground, for containing domestic refuse. These devices are provided with locks which optionally interact with cards or other systems, with payment being made for each filled drum. This may take place on the basis of the number of drums filled, but also on the basis of the weight placed in the drum.
  • the inner flap and outer flap are designed so as to rotate concentrically one inside the other, and the various movements are realized by providing a geared transmission between the outer flap and inner flap.
  • This arrangement on the one hand, has to be of particularly robust design and, on the other hand, comparatively simple to operate, since it is undesirable for external energy to be supplied in order to facilitate operation.
  • the object of the present invention is to avoid the above-described drawbacks and to provide a structure with which, on the one hand, individualized introduction is possible but, on the other hand, the service life of the two drum-shaped flaps and the associated bearings is increased considerably, while the structure does not become so heavy that it is difficult for certain people to operate the outer flap in a simple manner. Moreover, it must be possible for a system of this kind to be easy to combine with electronic access systems in order to make it possible to receive, and in particular weigh, domestic refuse in an individualized manner.
  • the inner flap and outer flap can be coupled to one another in such a manner that during the first part of the opening travel the inner flap is connected to the outer flap in the sense of closing off the introduction opening by the inner flap, that during the second part of the opening travel the inner flap is uncoupled from the outer flap and moves in the sense of opening the introduction opening, and that during closure of the outer flap the latter is coupled to the inner flap.
  • the invention is based on the insight of no longer coupling the outer flap and inner flap rigidly to one another, but rather of coupling them only over certain parts of the opening or closing path of the outer drum. This means that starting from the closed position of the outer flap, during a first part of the opening travel of that flap, the introduction opening is not opened, owing to the inner flap moving with the outer flap. Also, during this movement, the discharge opening is exposed, so that domestic refuse which is still situated in the two drum halves can be discharged into the store. On approaching the limit position of the outer flap, i.e. the completely open position, the inner flap is uncoupled from the outer flap and moves "back", i.e. into the position in which it blocks off the discharge opening.
  • the coupling between the inner flap and the outer flap is preferably achieved by means of a lock.
  • a lock of this nature can be controlled electrically or mechanically.
  • a position sensor for either the outer flap or the inner flap needs to be present, while in the case of mechanical control it is necessary in whatever way for a projecting surface to be present for uncoupling the inner flap and outer flap on reaching the opening position of the outer flap.
  • the inner flap and outer flap are arranged so as to rotate about essentially the same axis.
  • the inner flap which, after the outer flap has closed, supports the domestic refuse is preferably provided with at least one axle journal which is supported on a weighing element.
  • the bearing for the axle journal is designed as an elongate slot which extends essentially vertically. As a result, horizontal guidance is provided and the inner drum is ultimately supported on the weighing element.
  • the device described above can be combined with all electronic devices which are known in the prior art for feeding objects, such as domestic refuse, in a metered manner and recording and charging for them.
  • the device described above may be provided with a transmitter or the like, with the result that data transmission takes place at the moment at which the store which is associated with this device is emptied.
  • additional material such as domestic refuse emanating from other sources, to the lorry into which the store is emptied, during or after the emptying operations.
  • Fig. 1, 1 denotes a storage device for domestic refuse.
  • the actual store 4 is arranged in an opening 3 in the ground 2.
  • Store 4 is provided with a pivotable cover 5 which, after store 4 has moved out of opening 3 in a manner not shown in more detail, can be pivoted open during emptying into a lorry in order to discharge the domestic refuse situated inside the store.
  • An introduction 6 which forms the actual device according to the application is arranged on top of store 4.
  • this device comprises a housing 7 which is provided with an introduction opening 8 and a discharge opening 9.
  • Introduction opening 8 is closed off by an outer flap 10
  • discharge opening 9 is closed off by an inner flap 11.
  • a plate 12 is present which, via a hinge 13, is connected to housing 7. Plate 12 is moved into the position shown in Fig. 2 with the aid of rod 14. The end is provided with a sealing strip which is able to interact with the outer surface of inner flap 11. This plate 12 will move downwards when the inner flap 11 moves upwards, in order to be able to introduce large objects into the store 4 (Fig. 5).
  • the outer drum is provided with two axle journals 16 which are supported in a bearing block 17.
  • Bearing block 17 may comprise any material which is known in the prior art, but preferably consists of a self-lubricating material such as "material A”. This is a self-lubricating nylon material. It can be seen from the drawings, and in particular Fig. 5, that the bearing is provided with a constriction for supporting the axle journals 16. This is such that in the event of the mutually opposite bearing blocks 17 becoming displaced slightly with respect to one another, rotation of the outer flap is not actually impeded. Bearing blocks 17 are attached to housing 7 via bolts 18.
  • Inner flap 11 is provided with axle journals 19.
  • the position of the inner flap with respect to the outer flap is fixed with the aid of rings 20.
  • Axle journals 19 move inside a vertical slot-shaped opening 21 which allows vertical movement of, for example, 2 cm but at least 1 cm, but limits horizontal movements.
  • the position of the slot-shaped opening 21 with respect to weighing elements 22 is such that, under normal conditions, the inner flap always rests on the weighing element 22 and not on the bottom of slot-shaped opening 21.
  • a slot 26 is formed in the housing.
  • One end of gas spring 25 engages therein.
  • This gas spring 25 is connected, at the other end, to the outer flap 10 via a slot 27 which is formed therein. While the outer flap is moving to and fro, the gas spring, depending on its position, is situated in various positions with respect to the outer flap, with the result that the heaviest part of the travel of the outer flap is always supported by the positive action of the gas spring.
  • a lock 28 is shown, comprising a lock member 29 arranged on outer flap 10 and a lock member 30 arranged on inner flap 11.
  • this is a mechanically acting lock which is actuated by projection 32.
  • a hydraulic damper 31 is present on which a projection 33, which is arranged on the side wall of the inner flap, strikes in the limit position at the start of the return movement.
  • Fig. 1 there is a card-reader 36 which is connected to the control system 37. Moreover, there is a transmitter 38, which is also connected to control system 37.
  • Control system 37 comprises a memory for storing the number of operations performed. This can take place on an individualized basis, so that it is precisely known when the user last introduced domestic refuse.
  • Control system 37 regulates an electrical locking coil 34 which is arranged on housing 7 and successively engages on three projections 35 on the outer flap 10.
  • the outer flap 10 is closed by locking coil 34 and associated projection 35, and domestic refuse lying in the chamber delimited between outer flap 10 and inner flap 11, on top of inner flap 11, is illustrated by bag 23.
  • a user approaches card-reading device 36 or any other access device.
  • a lock (not shown in more detail) between coil 34 and projection 35 is released, so that outer flap 10 can be moved upwards by taking hold of handle 24, which may optionally be provided with a rubber buffer block.
  • handle 24 may optionally be provided with a rubber buffer block.
  • each projection 35 can move freely past coil 34.
  • Lock 28 is active, so that during the upwards movement inner flap 11 moves with it, with the result that discharge opening 9 is opened, partly by opening plate 12, and bag 23 falls into store 4.
  • outer flap 10 is moved in steps along housing 7 past successive projections 35 and coil 35, resulting in the initial position shown in Fig. 2.
  • the transmitter 38 shown in Fig. 1 becomes active in particular when emptying store 4. At that time, the data present in control system 37 are either transmitted to a central processing unit or are taken over by the electronics present in the refuse vehicle intended for this purpose.
  • the gas spring 25 described above ensures that the action of the outer flap is assisted both when opening and closing the latter. This is caused by one "attachment point" of this gas spring moving along the slot 26 and the other attachment point moving along slot 27.
  • a dirt scraper is denoted by 39.
  • the weighing system described above makes it possible to weigh the bag 23 of domestic refuse resting on the inner flap 11 in the position in accordance with Fig. 2 and to store this weight in the memory of control system 37. If appropriate, balancing weights may be present in inner flap 11, in order to eliminate effects produced by the weight thereof.
  • the structure described above can be sealed in a particularly successful manner, so that gases emanating from the store are as far as possible prevented from passing out into the atmosphere. Moreover, controlled ventilation is possible. It is also possible to provide wiper means in order to clean the inner and/or outer flaps during each opening and/or closing operation.
