Abstract

A waste collection assembly (10) comprising: a drum (20) with a closable load opening (21); a drive assembly arranged to rotate the drum about an axis thereof; a container (40) arranged below the drum; and a sensor assembly (50) configured to detect and identify waste material, wherein the sensor assembly is arranged to be displaced along the drum axis between a first position outside the drum and a second position inside the drum. A method of identifying waste material is also disclosed.

Claims (16)

    Claims
  1. l. A Waste collection assembly (10) comprising: a drum (20) With a closable load opening (2l); a drive assembly (33) arranged to rotate the drum (20) about an axis thereof; , .., g 41,. a container (40) arranged below the drum (20); sensor assembly (5 0) configured to detect and identify Waste material, Wherein the sensor assembly (50) is arranged to be displaced along the drum axis between a first position outside the drum (20) and a second position inside the drum (20).
  2. 2. The Waste collection assembly (l0) according to claim l, further comprising at least one protrusion (25) arranged on an interior surface of a sideWall (22) of the drum (20).
  3. 3. The Waste collection assembly (l0) according to claim l or 2, Wherein the closable load opening (2l) is arranged in a sideWall (22) of the drum (20).
  4. 4. The Waste collection assembly (l0) according to any one of the preceding claims, Wherein the drum (20), the drive assembly and the sensor assembly (5 0) are arranged in a housing (30) comprising a lid (3 l), Wherein the closable load opening (2l) is arranged to be aligned With the lid (3 l) to provide access to the drum (20).
  5. 5. The Waste collection assembly (l0) according to claim 4, further comprising means for identifying a user of the Waste collection assembly (l0), Wherein the lid (3 l) comprises a lock arranged to be opened in response to identification of the user.
  6. 6. The Waste collection assembly (l0) according to any one of the preceding claims, Wherein the sensor assembly (50) comprises a source (5 l) of electromagnetic radiation adapted to emit electromagnetic radiation capable of exciting luminescence of the Waste material to be identified and/or a luminescent marker contained in the Waste material, and a sensor (52) configured to detect the luminescence of the Waste material and/or marker.
  7. 7. The Waste collection assembly (l0) according to any one of the preceding claims, further comprising cleaning implements arranged adjacent an opening (26) in the drum (20) through Which the sensor assembly (50) passes during displacement into and/or out of the drum (20).
  8. 8. The Waste collection assembly (10) according to any one of the preceding claims, further comprising at least one sensor (53) for detecting an amount and/or Weight of Waste material in the drum (20).
  9. 9. A method for detecting and identifying Waste material in a Waste collection assembly (10) according to any one of the preceding claims, the method comprising: starting rotation of the drum (20); advancing the sensor assembly (5 0) into the rotating drum; detecting and identifying the Waste material; and retracting the sensor assembly (5 0) out of the rotating drum.
  10. 10. The method according to claim 9, Wherein the steps are repeated one or more times.
  11. 11. The method according to claim 9 or 10, Wherein the step of starting rotation of the drum (20) is preceded by one or more steps of accelerating and stopping rotation of the drum (20), preferably With at least one protrusion (25) protruding from an interior surface of the sideWall (22) of the drum (20).
  12. 12. The method according to any one of claims 9-11, further comprising: stopping rotation of the drum (20) With the closable load opening (21) facing doWnWard; and opening the closable load opening (21) to allow the Waste to fall into the container (40).
  13. 13. The method according to any one of claims 9-12, Wherein the drum (20) is rotated at a first speed below a threshold speed, or at a second speed above the threshold speed.
  14. 14. The method according to claim 13, further comprising: detecting an amount and/or Weight of Waste material in the drum (20); and deterrnining the threshold speed based on the detected amount and/or Weight of Waste material.
  15. 15. The method according to any one of claims 9-14, further comprising Cleaning the sensor assembly (5 0) through contact With cleaning implements arranged in an opening (26) of the drum (20) through Which the sensor assembly (50) passes during displacement into and/or out of the drum (20).
  16. 16. The method according to any one of claims 9-15, Wherein the drum (20), the drive assembly and the sensor assembly (50) are arranged in a housing (30) comprising a lid (31), Wherein the closable load opening (21) is arranged to be aligned With the lid (31) to provide access to the drum (20), Wherein the steps of the method are preceded by: identifying a user of the Waste collection assembly (10); and opening a lock of the lid (31) in response to identification of the user.
