Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container, in particular for collecting packaging or waste and valuable materials, with a housing whose top has at least one insertion opening to throw packaging or waste into a space formed in the housing, and with a compression unit for compression of in the Receptacle thrown in packaging or waste.
  • Such containers are already known in the art.
  • the waste containers shown in the prior art are usually equipped with a device for compacting waste, which makes it possible to achieve a considerable volume gain, in particular with regard to so-called dry waste such as plastic bottles, cartons, canned goods and the like.
  • Such compacting means that the wastes thrown into it are compressed and, because of the smaller space requirement, enable lower removal frequencies of the collected waste. This translates into a reduction in the cost of disposing of the waste, since the container must be emptied at a much later date.
  • a piston or a movable plate is used for compression to reduce the volume of the waste.
  • the containers are provided with a plate which can be moved vertically under the action of pressure from the lid of the container to contact the waste to be compacted. It is one relatively complex device, which has the main disadvantage that it requires a very heavy and bulky lid, as it contains the means for actuating the printing plate such as accordion-like rod systems.
  • the compression unit comprises a pressure plate which is inserted into the housing to form a bottom of the receiving space and is adjustably held therein between a lower and an upper end position, and a drive unit to the pressure plate and / or the Closing flap for compressing the packaging or waste within the housing.
  • a container is provided which via the pressure plate compression of the inserted packaging or waste of about 1: 3 by moving the pressure plate from a bottom so the bottom of the housing facing end position against gravity into an upper lid facing the end position under reduction the volume of the compression space allows.
  • a container whose receiving space has a nominal volume of 40 l, a volume of approximately 120 l can be set due to the possibility of compressing the packaging or the waste.
  • a container which, by closing the closure flap on actuation of the pressure plate arranged in the lower region of the housing in the direction of the upper end position, provides a closed pressing chamber for compressing the refuse.
  • the drive unit is disposed below the bottom of the waste space within the housing.
  • the drive unit is designed so that it can apply a pressing force of about 1000 N on the pressure plate.
  • the pressing force necessary for effective compression depends on the materials or packaging to be pressed and the volume to be compacted. For larger containers, it is therefore usually necessary to realize larger pressing forces by the drive unit.
  • the drive unit comprises at least one hydraulic cylinder, a shock absorber, a pull system, a pneumatic cylinder or a spindle system.
  • Other types of drive within the container, in particular electric drives are of course also conceivable.
  • the drive unit with a replaceable accumulator to a self-sufficient system independent of a otherwise provide necessary external power supply.
  • the accumulator with a solar panel to provide power to the drive unit.
  • a particularly simple way of providing a receiving space according to the invention can be achieved in one embodiment of the present invention in that a closure flap is provided on the housing, which can be brought into a compression position for compression of the packaging or the waste in the housing.
  • the closure flap can be held, for example by means of a hinge on the inside of the housing and be pivoted in the event of the need to carry out the compression of the packaging or the waste in the compression position.
  • a kind of stop can be provided on the housing, opposite the hinge formed on the housing, by means of which the closure flap can be brought into the desired position and subsequently to ensure compression on the housing, for example by means of a locking means, in particular an electronic locking device during the compression process be fixed to the housing.
  • the printing plate economically to compress the packaging or the waste from the lower end position to the upper end position is achieved in that the housing is formed on its inside with at least one guide element, in which at least one of the pressure plate trained projection can be used and it is movable between the lower and the upper end position.
  • the pressure plate is arranged in its lower end position in the housing in such a way that an interposed between the Pressure plate and a bottom portion of the housing formed space is separated from the waste space.
  • the printing plate may be advisable to design the printing plate in a trough-shaped manner on its side facing the receiving space, in order to collect liquids emerging from the packaging or the waste therein and possibly to remove them separately. For example, damage to the drive unit and the sensor unit inserted underneath the pressure plate can be counteracted.
  • the closure flap closed during the compression of the waste does not open until the pressure plate has reached the lower end position has reached in the housing and only closes again as soon as or immediately before the pressure plate leaves the lower end position.
  • At least one sensor unit is provided, with which, e.g. a level in the housing can be tested.
  • the sensor unit If it is detected by a sensor of the sensor unit, for example, that the maximum filling capacity of the receiving space is reached, it can be provided that the sensor unit generates a signal such as "full", with which the need for emptying the waste space is displayed.
  • a signal such as "full”
  • the weight acting on the printing plate in its lower end position of the waste or packaging received in the receiving space can be measured, and upon reaching a maximum permissible weight of the packaging or the waste, a corresponding signal can be generated.
  • a sensor for volume measurement in the receiving space may also be provided, which alone or in combination with the weight sensor can detect a maximum capacity of the receiving space.
  • the sensor unit further sensors, such as a sensor for safety, especially for protection against interference during operation or during emptying, operating messages such as disturbances of eg the power supply, passing the filling level by radio to cleaners or self-extinguishing by automatic closing in case of fire or breakage sensors to detect sabotage.
  • a sensor for safety especially for protection against interference during operation or during emptying
  • operating messages such as disturbances of eg the power supply, passing the filling level by radio to cleaners or self-extinguishing by automatic closing in case of fire or breakage sensors to detect sabotage.
  • signal generator generate a signal indicating the need to perform a maintenance.
  • a flexible, compressible inner container for receiving the packaging or the waste in the receiving space of the housing.
  • This can be realized for example by a garbage bag or a bag that allows compression of the packaging or the waste, without causing damage during compression itself, in particular to get without cracks or to burst.
  • At least one sealing element is provided on the pressure plate and / or the lid to seal an annular gap formed between the lid and the housing and / or the pressure plate and the housing.
  • the seal between the pressure plate and the housing may be necessary to prevent damage to the arranged below the floor drive unit and the sensor.
  • a locking mechanism may be provided to fix the lid in its closed position, wherein the sealing element is designed and arranged such that it in the closed locked position between the inner container and the lid and / or between the housing and the pressure plate on the entire circumference is elastically compressed.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 a container 1 according to the present invention is shown, which is used in particular in public facilities to collect packaging or waste and / or other valuable materials such as plastic bottles and packaging, glass and paper.
  • the container 1 has a housing 2, on the top side of which an insertion opening 3 is provided in order to insert packages and / or to collect waste in a receiving space 4 formed in the housing 2.
  • a closure flap 5 is provided, which by means of a joint of a in the FIGS. 1 and 2 shown open position can be pivoted to a closed position.
  • a folding mechanism in the form of a slide 6 is formed on the closing flap 5, which is coupled to a drive unit 7.
  • a pressure plate 8 is used to form the compression unit.
  • the pressure plate 8 has projections 9 which, in the housing 2, have guide elements in the form of guide rails 10 on two sides facing the pressure plate 8. In this guide rails, the projections 9 of the pressure plate 8 are used and movable in the vertical direction to take the upper and lower end position within the housing 2 can.
  • the pressure plate 8 is disposed in the housing 2 so as to separate the receiving space 4 from a space below the pressure plate 8, which is formed by the bottom of the housing 2 and a part of the side surfaces of the housing 2 and the underside of the pressure plate 8.
  • the drive unit 7 and a drive unit 7 is supplied with power supplying accumulator 11.
  • the drive unit 7 has in this embodiment, two hydraulic cylinders 12 which engage the projections 9 of the pressure plate 8 in order to move them from the lower end position to the upper end position.
  • the pressure plate 8 remains in the upper end position for a certain amount of time and is spent in connection again by simply returning the hydraulic cylinder 12 in the lower position.
  • the pressure plate 8 and the closure flap 5 together with the side areas of the housing 2 form a closed pressing space.
  • the closure flap 5 is pivotally mounted in the housing 2 by means of a hinge 13 and lingers in its open position when packaging or waste can be thrown into the throw-in opening 3.
  • a locking mechanism in the form of an electric lock 14 is provided on the housing 2, by means of which the closing flap 5 can be locked in its closed position on the side opposite the slide 6 and can thus absorb the compressive force during the pressing operation.
  • the electric lock 14 is opened again and the closure flap 5 closed during the compression of the packaging or the waste is released again.
  • the closure flap 5 closes again and is locked again in the electric lock 14 for receiving the pressing forces. In this way it is further prevented that a user can intervene during the compression process via the insertion opening into the receiving space of the container and may possibly be injured.
  • a sensor in the form of a light barrier 15 is provided in the housing 2 in the embodiment shown to counteract unwanted engagement of a user in the receiving space 4 during compression and, for example, when breaking the light barrier 15 an emergency stop of the system in one with the Light barrier 15 coupled sensor unit 16 to generate.
  • a further coupled to the sensor unit 16 sensor 17 is provided for level measurement, which generates upon reaching maximum compression of the inserted packaging or waste while detecting the travel height of the pressure plate 8 via the sensor unit 16, a signal to indicate, for example, cleaning forces, that the maximum filling quantity is reached, for example by the sensor unit 16 outputting the state "full”.
  • the housing 2 is also an unillustrated leak-proof receiving element made of a flexible material, used here in the form of a garbage bag, which has a strength which allows that the garbage bag does not tear during compression. This makes a simple one and quick emptying of the container 1 by replacing the full garbage bag with an empty garbage bag possible.
  • the pressure plate 8 is trough-shaped on its side facing the receiving space.
  • a sealing element in the form of a sealing ring with a U-shaped cross section is provided, which is pushed onto the edge of the housing 2 from above.
  • the sealing element serves to seal an annular gap, which occurs when the closing flap 5 is closed between the closing flap 5 and the receiving element, and in this way prevents air from entering the receiving element via the annular gap.
  • the closure flap 5 is provided with a smoke sheet.
  • the arrangement is such that the sealing element is elastically compressed when closing the shutter 5 by the smoke plate and is held in the compressed state after the locking of the locking means 14. In this way it can be ensured that even a non-uniform annular gap between the smoke plate and the housing 2 is reliably sealed and thus in a fire within the receiving element via this annular gap no air and thus no oxygen can penetrate into the receiving element.
  • a further sealing ring is provided in the housing 2 below the pressure plate 8 in an embodiment, not shown. This causes that in the event of leakage of liquid from the garbage bag this remains on the pressure plate 8 and does not penetrate into the area below the pressure plate, in which the drive unit 7, the accumulator 11 and all sensors are used.
  • both the closure flap 5 and the hydraulic cylinder 12 necessary for the method are actuated via the drive unit 4.
  • the accumulator 11 is furthermore provided in the space between the housing 2 and the pressure plate 8.
  • a sensor 18 is also provided, which indicates to the cleaning staff that an exchange must take place as soon as the accumulator 11 comes into a state in which a pressure necessary for the compression of the hydraulic cylinder 12 can no longer be guaranteed.
  • a signal is generated by the sensor unit, which displays a maintenance signal, for example, with "low battery voltage" to the cleaning personnel.
  • the accumulator 11 can then be exchanged, for example, during the next emptying process by a charged accumulator.
  • the supply of the accumulator 11 takes place by means of a solar panel, which is arranged above the container 1.
  • a solar panel which is arranged above the container 1.
