Description

La présente invention concerne une benne pour la collecte et le transport d'une charge du type déchets ménagers.The present invention relates to a bucket for collecting and transport of a load of household waste type.

Elle se rapporte plus particulièrement à une benne pour la collecte et le transport de déchets, associée notamment à un véhicule ou à une remorque et qui est munie d'un dispositif de compactage desdits déchets de manière à réduire ces derniers et à charger un maximum de déchets dans un minimum de volume.It relates more particularly to a bucket for the collection and transport of waste, in particular associated with a vehicle or a trailer and which is fitted with a compacting device said waste so as to reduce the latter and load a maximum waste in minimum volume.

On connaít déjà, notamment par la demande de brevet français FR-A-2 759 989 déposée le 25 février 1997 par le présent demandeur, dans laquelle il est décrit une benne du type décrit ci-dessus qui est pourvue d'un bouclier fouloir mobile sous l'action d'un vérin destiné à compacter les déchets, ce dernier étant muni dans sa partie supérieure d'un volet composé d'une poutre transversale solidaire de deux bras parallèles pivotant sous l'action d'un vérin de manière à comprimer les déchets en direction du fond.We already know, especially by the French patent application FR-A-2 759 989 filed on February 25, 1997 by the present applicant, in which a bucket of the type described above is described which is provided with a mobile gland shield under the action a cylinder intended to compact the waste, the latter being provided in its upper part of a shutter composed of a beam transverse integral with two parallel arms pivoting under the action a jack so as to compress the waste towards the bottom.

Ce type de dispositif de compactage donne satisfaction; cependant pour des déchets légers, par exemple du type bouteilles en plastique, il s'avère que ces derniers, lors des phases notamment de chargement des déchets, collectés au préalable dans des containers, dans la benne ou encore lors du compactage, s'envolent en dehors de la benne entraínant ainsi pour l'opérateur un ramassage manuel de tous ces déchets évacués.This type of compacting device is satisfactory; however for light waste, for example of the type plastic, it turns out that the latter, notably during the phases of loading of waste, previously collected in containers, in the bucket or during compaction, fly away from the bucket thus causing the operator to manually pick up all this waste evacuated.

Le but de la présente invention est de remédier à l'inconvénient mentionné ci-dessus.The object of the present invention is to remedy the drawback mentioned above.

A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet une benne pour la collecte et le transport d'une charge du type déchets ménagers, constituée d'un fond, de deux parois latérales, d'une paroi avant, d'une porte arrière formant réceptacle, et d'un toit recouvrant la majeur partie arrière dudit réceptacle de façon à ménager une ouverture dans la partie avant de la benne pour le chargement de la charge, ladite benne étant munie d'une paroi sensiblement verticale mobile dans le fond de celle-ci sous l'action d'un vérin, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte un dispositif de compactage de la charge en direction notamment du fond qui est constitué d'un premier volet articulé autour d'un axe transversal situé dans la partie supérieure de ladite paroi verticale mobile et d'un second volet articulé autour d'un axe transversal situé à l'extrémité amont du toit au droit de l'ouverture, ces volets étant aptes à pivoter autour de leur axe respectif entre une première position d'ouverture pour le chargement de la charge et une seconde position de fermeture pour le compactage de ladite charge sous l'action respective d'au moins un vérin, et en ce que lesdits volets sont conformés de telle sorte qu'en position d'ouverture ces derniers forment une trémie pour le chargement de la charge.To this end, the present invention relates to a bucket for the collection and transport of a load of household waste type, consisting of a bottom, two side walls, a front wall, a rear door forming a receptacle, and a roof covering the major rear part of said receptacle so as to provide a opening in the front part of the bucket for loading the load, said bucket being provided with a substantially vertical wall movable in the bottom thereof by the action of a jack, characterized in that it comprises a device for compacting the charge in direction in particular of the bottom which consists of a first part articulated around a transverse axis located in the upper part of said movable vertical wall and a second flap articulated around a transverse axis located at the upstream end of the roof to the right of the opening, these flaps being able to pivot about their axis respective between a first opening position for loading load and a second closing position for the compacting of said load under the respective action of at least one cylinder, and in that said flaps are shaped so that in open position these form a hopper for the load loading.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de la présente invention, le second volet est constitué d'un premier élément et d'un second élément repliable sur ledit premier élément, le premier élément étant articulé autour de l'axe transversal situé à l'extrémité amont du toit et le second élément étant articulé autour d'un axe parallèle à l'axe du premier élément qui est solidaire de l'extrémité libre dudit premier élément.According to an advantageous characteristic of the present invention, the second part consists of a first element and a second foldable element on said first element, the first element being articulated around the transverse axis located at the upstream end of the roof and the second element being articulated around an axis parallel to the axis of the first element which is integral with the free end of said first element.

On a représenté à la figure 1, un véhicule routier 1 pour la collecte des déchets, par exemple du type bouteilles en plastique, qui, de façon connue, comporte un châssis 2, une cabine avant 3 de conduite, des roues 4 entraínées par un moteur pour permettre son déplacement. FIG. 1 shows a road vehicle 1 for the waste collection, for example of the plastic bottle type, which, in known manner, comprises a chassis 2, a front cabin 3 of driving, 4 wheels driven by a motor to allow its displacement.

Le châssis 2 porte à l'arrière, de manière connue, une benne 5 constituée d'un fond 6, de deux parois latérales 7, d'une paroi avant 8, d'une porte arrière 9 formant ensemble un réceptacle, et d'un toit 10 recouvrant la majeure partie arrière dudit réceptacle, comme visible plus clairement sur la figure 1, de façon à ménager une ouverture 11 dans la partie avant de la benne 5 pour le chargement des déchets ou charge.The chassis 2 carries at the rear, in a known manner, a bucket 5 consisting of a bottom 6, two side walls 7, a front wall 8, a rear door 9 together forming a receptacle, and a roof 10 covering the major rear part of said receptacle, as visible more clearly in FIG. 1, so as to provide a opening 11 in the front part of the bucket 5 for loading waste or charge.

La benne 5 est disposée sur un berceau 12 et articulée dans sa partie arrière à celui-ci, autour d'un axe transversal 13, de manière à permettre le basculement de la benne 5 autour de cet axe 13 sous l'action d'un vérin 14, lors des phases de vidage de la benne.The bucket 5 is arranged on a cradle 12 and articulated in its rear part thereof, around a transverse axis 13, so as to allow the tilting of the bucket 5 around this axis 13 under the action of a jack 14, during the emptying phases of the bucket.

Le berceau 12 est maintenu sur le châssis 2 par l'intermédiaire d'une ferrure 15 qui sera décrite plus en détail dans la suite de la description.The cradle 12 is held on the chassis 2 via a fitting 15 which will be described in more detail below. description.

Ce châssis 2 comporte également, de manière connue, entre la cabine 3 et la benne 5 un moyen de levage 16, du type grue, des différents containers 17 ou colonne de collecte de déchets.This chassis 2 also comprises, in a known manner, between the cabin 3 and the bucket 5 a lifting means 16, of the crane type, different containers 17 or waste collection column.

La benne 5 est munie d'une paroi sensiblement verticale 18, désignée dans la suite de la description bouclier fouloir, qui est mobile dans le fond 6 de celle-ci sous l'action du vérin 14. Ce bouclier fouloir 18 est prolongé longitudinalement vers la porte arrière 9, dans sa partie basse de manière symétrique par rapport à un axe longitudinal médian par un tunnel 19 dans lequel est logé le vérin 14, comme visible plus clairement sur la figure 1. Le vérin 14 est, de manière classique, constitué d'un corps 20 fixé à l'une de ces extrémités autour d'une articulation 21 solidaire du berceau 12 et d'une tige 22 dont l'extrémité libre de celle-ci est fixée au tunnel 14.The bucket 5 is provided with a substantially vertical wall 18, designated in the following description, the gland shield, which is movable in the bottom 6 thereof under the action of the jack 14. This gland shield 18 is extended longitudinally towards the door rear 9, in its lower part symmetrically with respect to a median longitudinal axis through a tunnel 19 in which is housed the cylinder 14, as more clearly visible in FIG. 1. The cylinder 14 is, conventionally, constituted by a body 20 fixed to one of these ends around a joint 21 secured to the cradle 12 and a rod 22, the free end of which is fixed to the tunnel 14.

On notera qu'au droit de ce tunnel 19 en position bouclier fouloir 18 repoussé contre la paroi avant 8, le fond de la benne est muni d'une ouverture 23 de manière à permettre le passage et les débattements du vérin 14.Note that at the right of this tunnel 19 in shield position gland 18 pushed against the front wall 8, the bottom of the bucket is provided with an opening 23 so as to allow passage and cylinder deflections 14.

L'extrémité aval 24 du tunnel 19, en considérant la figure 1, est guidée par une poutre 25 ayant par exemple la forme générale d'un « I » qui est disposée longitudinalement suivant l'axe médian de ladite benne, dans la partie arrière sur le fond de cette dernière.The downstream end 24 of the tunnel 19, considering FIG. 1, is guided by a beam 25 having for example the general shape of a "I" which is arranged longitudinally along the median axis of said bucket, in the rear part on the bottom of the latter.

Des moyens de verrouillage 30 destinés à sélectionner soit le déplacement du bouclier fouloir 18 longitudinalement dans la benne soit un bennage, comme représenté sur la figure 7, sont disposés à l'avant de la benne.Locking means 30 intended to select either the displacement of the gland shield 18 longitudinally in the bucket either a dump, as shown in Figure 7, are arranged at the front of the bucket.

Ces moyens de verrouillage 30 sont constitués de verrous 31, 32 respectivement destinés à s'engager dans des orifices 31a, 32a réalisés dans des chapes, comme représenté sur les figures 5 et 6, qui sont déplaçables transversalement sous l'action d'un levier de commande 33 de manière à verrouiller soit l'avant de la benne avec le berceau en engageant les verrous 31 (figure 5) soit le bouclier fouloir 18 avec la benne en engageant les verrous 32 (figure 6).These locking means 30 consist of latches 31, 32 respectively intended to engage in orifices 31a, 32a made in screeds, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, which are movable transversely under the action of a lever control 33 so as to lock either the front of the bucket with the cradle by engaging the latches 31 (Figure 5) or the shield gland 18 with the bucket engaging the locks 32 (Figure 6).

Selon la présente invention, la benne 5 comporte un dispositif de compactage 40 de la charge en direction notamment du fond 6.According to the present invention, the bucket 5 comprises a device compaction 40 of the load in particular towards the bottom 6.

Ce dispositif de compactage 40 est constitué d'un premier volet 41 articulé autour d'un axe transversal 42 situé dans la partie supérieure du bouclier fouloir 18 et d'un second volet 43 articulé autour d'un axe transversal 44 solidaire de l'extrémité amont 45 du toit 10 au droit de l'ouverture 11.This compacting device 40 consists of a first flap 41 articulated around a transverse axis 42 located in the part upper of the gland shield 18 and a second articulated flap 43 around a transverse axis 44 integral with the upstream end 45 of the roof 10 to the right of the opening 11.

Ces volets 41 et 43 sont aptes à pivoter autour de leur axe 42, 44 respectif entre une première position d'ouverture, comme visible à la figure 1, pour le chargement de la charge et une seconde position de fermeture (figures 3 et 4) pour le compactage de ladite charge sous l'action respective d'au moins un vérin.These flaps 41 and 43 are able to pivot about their axis 42, 44 respectively between a first open position, as visible in Figure 1, for loading the load and a second closed position (Figures 3 and 4) for compacting said load under the respective action of at least one jack.

Chacun de ces volets 41, 43 sont conformés de telle sorte qu'en position d'ouverture ces derniers forment une trémie pour le chargement de la charge de manière à guider l'écoulement des déchets dans la benne.Each of these flaps 41, 43 are shaped so that in open position these form a hopper for the loading of the load so as to guide the flow of waste in the bucket.

Le premier volet 41 est avantageusement constitué d'une paroi transversale 44' ayant l'une de ses extrémités articulée autour de l'axe 42 et l'autre de ses extrémités qui est rabattue vers l'extérieur suivant un angle d'environ 30 degrés de façon à obtenir deux faces 50, 51 de compactage des déchets, lorsque ce volet 41 se trouve en position de fermeture, comme visible sur la figure 4.The first flap 41 advantageously consists of a wall transverse 44 'having one of its ends articulated around the axis 42 and the other of its ends which is folded outwards at an angle of about 30 degrees so as to obtain two faces 50, 51 for compacting the waste, when this flap 41 is in closed position, as shown in figure 4.

Ce premier volet 41 est commandé par l'intermédiaire de deux vérins 52, 53 disposés longitudinalement par rapport à la benne. Chacun de ces vérins 52, 53 est constitué d'un corps relié à la partie supérieure du bouclier fouloir 18 et d'une tige reliée à l'extrémité rabattue de la paroi transversale 44'.This first component 41 is controlled by means of two cylinders 52, 53 arranged longitudinally relative to the bucket. Each of these jacks 52, 53 consists of a body connected to the part upper of the gland shield 18 and a rod connected to the end folded down from the transverse wall 44 '.

Le premier volet 41 est également pourvu au voisinage de l'articulation 42 d'un clapet 60 -ou volet- articulé de façon libre autour d'un axe transversal 60a parallèle à l'axe d'articulation 42.The first flap 41 is also provided in the vicinity of the articulation 42 of a valve 60 -or flap- freely articulated about a transverse axis 60a parallel to the articulation axis 42.

Ce clapet 60 s'étend verticalement en direction du fond de la benne en position d'ouverture du premier volet 41 et est destiné à être repoussé vers l'avant de la benne par les déchets de manière à obstruer l'espace 62 formé entre l'articulation du volet 41 et le bouclier fouloir 18 afin d'éviter les remontés des déchets par ledit espace 62 sur le dessus du volet lors notamment d'une phase de compactage de ses déchets.This valve 60 extends vertically towards the bottom of the bucket in the open position of the first flap 41 and is intended for be pushed towards the front of the bucket by the waste so as to obstruct the space 62 formed between the articulation of the flap 41 and the gland shield 18 in order to prevent the waste from being lifted up by said space 62 on the top of the flap during in particular a phase of compaction of its waste.

Le second volet 43 comprend un premier élément 54 constitué d'une paroi transversale et d'un second élément 55 constitué également d'une paroi transversale articulée autour d'un axe A parallèle à l'axe 44 du premier élément 54 et apte a être repliable sur ce dernier 54.The second flap 43 comprises a first element 54 constituted a transverse wall and a second element 55 consisting also of a transverse wall articulated around an axis A parallel to the axis 44 of the first element 54 and able to be folded over the latter 54.

Ce premier élément 54 est monté articulé autour de l'axe transversale 44 et est apte à se mouvoir autour de cet axe par l'intermédiaire de deux vérins 56 disposés de part et d'autre de la benne, comme visible à la figure 8, et ayant chacun l'extrémité du corps du vérin solidaire d'une paroi latérale et la tige du vérin reliée à l'un des bords latéraux du premier élément 54.This first element 54 is mounted articulated around the axis transverse 44 and is able to move around this axis by by means of two jacks 56 arranged on either side of the grab, as shown in Figure 8, and each having the end of the cylinder body secured to a side wall and the cylinder rod connected to one of the side edges of the first element 54.

On notera que le second élément est également apte à prendre une première position d'ouverture par rapport au premier élément 54 et une seconde position de fermeture dans laquelle le premier et le second élément sont rabattus l'un sur l'autre, comme visible aux figures 3 et 4, par l'intermédiaire par exemple de vérins 57 disposés, comme visible sur les figures 1 à 8, entre les deux éléments 54, 55. Note that the second element is also able to take a first open position relative to the first element 54 and a second closed position in which the first and the second element are folded over each other, as visible on FIGS. 3 and 4, for example by means of cylinders 57 arranged, as visible in FIGS. 1 to 8, between the two elements 54, 55.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif de compactage de la présente invention va maintenant être décrit en relation avec les figures 1 à 7.The operation of the compacting device of this The invention will now be described in relation to FIGS. 1 to 7.

Lors de la collecte des déchets, par le véhicule représenté à la figure 1, l'opérateur choisit préalablement suivant la taille et la forme du container qu'il doit décharger dans la benne 5, d'ouvrir les deux volets 41 et 43 au maximum comme visible sur la figure 1 ou au minimum en laissant le second volet 43 en position de fermeture et mettant en position ouverte le second élément 55 de ce second volet 43, comme visible à la figure 2, ménageant ainsi avec le premier volet 41 une trémie de manière à guider l'écoulement des déchets dans le fond de la benne.When collecting waste, by the vehicle shown in figure 1, the operator chooses beforehand according to the size and form of the container which it must unload in the bucket 5, to open the two flaps 41 and 43 at most as visible in Figure 1 or at least leaving the second flap 43 in the closed position and putting in the open position the second element 55 of this second flap 43, as visible in FIG. 2, thus sparing with the first flap 41 a hopper so as to guide the flow of waste in the bottom of the bucket.

Ensuite, par l'intermédiaire du moyen de levage 16 l'opérateur soulève le container de manière à le présenter au droit de l'ouverture 11 de la benne. L'ouverture du container peut être commandée en amenant, comme représenté dans le mode de réalisation décrit, un levier 70 solidaire dudit container en contact avec l'extrémité par exemple du premier volet 41, libérant ainsi les déchets collectés dans la benne 5.Then, via the lifting means 16, the operator lift the container so as to present it to the right of opening 11 of the bucket. The opening of the container can be ordered in bringing, as shown in the embodiment described, a lever 70 secured to said container in contact with the end by example of the first section 41, thus releasing the collected waste in the bucket 5.

L'ouverture des volets 41, 43 ou 41, 55 en forme de trémie permet avantageusement d'éviter l'envole des déchets en dehors de la benne, ces derniers étant guidés et retenus par les volets de compactage.The opening of flaps 41, 43 or 41, 55 in the form of a hopper advantageously makes it possible to avoid the dumping of waste outside the grab, the latter being guided and retained by the flaps of compaction.

Le container est alors reposé au sol, au moyen du dispositif de levage 16. L'opérateur par l'intermédiaire du levier de commande 33 verrouille l'avant de la benne avec le berceau, introduisant les verrous 31 dans les orifices 31a, puis commande la fermeture des volets de compactage, comme visible à la figure 3.The container is then placed on the ground, using the lifting 16. The operator via the control lever 33 locks the front of the bucket with the cradle, introducing the latches 31 in the holes 31a, then controls the closing of the compaction flaps, as shown in Figure 3.

Un cycle de compactage des déchets destiné à réduire le volume de ces derniers, est alors réalisé en commandant le déplacement du bouclier fouloir 18 au moyen du vérin 14 par des déplacements de va-et-vient longitudinaux dans ladite benne 5. Lors de ce déplacement les déchets viennent en contact avec le clapet 60 repoussant ainsi ce dernier vers le bouclier fouloir 18 et obstruant par voie de conséquence l'espace 62. A waste compaction cycle to reduce volume of these, is then achieved by controlling the movement of the gland shield 18 by means of the jack 14 by displacements of longitudinal back and forth in said bucket 5. During this displacement the waste comes into contact with the valve 60 thus pushing the latter towards the gland shield 18 and obstructing consequently space 62.

On notera, avantageusement que des galets 71 sont prévus à l'extrémité de la partie rabattue du premier volet 41 de manière à permettre le coulissement de celui-ci sous le second volet 43.Advantageously, it will be noted that rollers 71 are provided at the end of the folded part of the first flap 41 so as to allow it to slide under the second flap 43.

De plus, avantageusement, il peut être prévu à l'extrémité opposée de l'articulation 44 du premier élément 54 du second volet 43 des éperons 72 de manière à retenir les déchets compactés.In addition, advantageously, it can be provided at the end opposite of the articulation 44 of the first element 54 of the second flap 43 of the spurs 72 so as to retain the compacted waste.

Lors de cette opération de compactage, on comprend tout l'avantage de la forme du premier volet 41 qui présente deux faces de compactage 50, 51 permettant ainsi de repousser vers l'arrière de la benne et vers le fond 6 les déchets.During this compacting operation, we understand everything the advantage of the shape of the first flap 41 which has two faces compaction 50, 51 thus making it possible to push backwards the skip and towards the bottom 6 the waste.

Une fois le cycle de compactage terminé, le bouclier fouloir 18 est repositionné dans sa position de repos en contact avec la paroi avant 8 de la benne 5, comme représenté à la figure 1.After the compaction cycle is completed, the gland shield 18 is repositioned in its rest position in contact with the wall front 8 of the bucket 5, as shown in Figure 1.

De manière avantageuse, une barre transversale 80 amovible ou articulée autour d'un axe vertical 81 solidaire d'une des parois latérales 7 est disposée sensiblement dans la partie médiane de la benne 5, de manière à limiter le retour des déchets compactés vers l'avant de celle-ci, notamment pour des déchets du type bouteilles en plastique qui présentent une forte caractéristique élastique. Cette barre 80 est immobilisée en position transversale au moyen par exemple d'un crochet 100, comme visible à la figure 8.Advantageously, a removable crossbar 80 or articulated around a vertical axis 81 secured to one of the walls side 7 is arranged substantially in the middle part of the bucket 5, so as to limit the return of compacted waste to the front of it, especially for waste such as plastic which have a strong elastic characteristic. This bar 80 is immobilized in transverse position by means of example of a hook 100, as visible in FIG. 8.

Lorsque la benne 5 est remplie, l'opérateur peut aller sur une aire de traitement de ces déchets, où il devra vider le contenu de la benne.When the bucket 5 is filled, the operator can go to a waste treatment area, where he will have to empty the contents of the dumpster.

Cette opération est réalisée en verrouillant le bouclier fouloir 18 avec la benne 5 au moyen du levier de commande 33 engageant ainsi les verrous 32 dans les orifices 32a, comme représenté à la figure 6.This operation is carried out by locking the gland shield 18 with the bucket 5 by means of the control lever 33 engaging thus the latches 32 in the holes 32a, as shown in the figure 6.

L'opérateur ouvre la porte arrière 9 de la benne 5 et commande l'actionnement du vérin 14 entraínant ainsi le pivotement de la benne 5 autour de l'axe 13, comme visible sur la figure 7. The operator opens the rear door 9 of the bucket 5 and controls actuation of the jack 14 thus causing the pivoting of the bucket 5 around the axis 13, as visible in FIG. 7.

Lors de cette opération, la barre 80 est libre de pouvoir pivoter autour de son axe 81 permettant ainsi la libération des déchets, de sorte qu'en phase finale cette barre se retrouve le long de la paroi latérale 7 de la benne 5.During this operation, the bar 80 is free to be able to pivot around its axis 81 thus allowing the release of waste, so that in the final phase this bar is found along the wall side 7 of the bucket 5.

On a représenté sur les figures 9 à 12, un second mode de réalisation du dispositif de compactage des déchets, afin de simplifier la description, les éléments identiques du premier mode de réalisation seront désignés par les mêmes références numériques.There is shown in Figures 9 to 12, a second mode of production of the waste compacting device, in order to simplify the description, identical elements of the first mode will be designated by the same reference numbers.

A la différence du premier mode de réalisation, le second volet de compactage 43 a la forme générale d'un triangle quelconque T en section longitudinale définissant ainsi deux parois transversales 84, 85 qui se rejoignent à une extrémité jointive 83 formant le sommet du triangle, c'est-à-dire l'extrémité libre du volet.Unlike the first embodiment, the second component compaction 43 has the general shape of any triangle T in longitudinal section thus defining two transverse walls 84, 85 which meet at a joined end 83 forming the top of the triangle, that is to say the free end of the flap.

L'extrémité opposée à l'extrémité jointive 83 d'une de ces parois 84 est articulée autour de l'axe transversal 44 tandis que l'extrémité de l'autre parois 85 est relié au moins à la tige d'au moins un vérin 87.The end opposite to the joining end 83 of one of these walls 84 is articulated around the transverse axis 44 while the end of the other wall 85 is connected at least to the rod of at least a cylinder 87.

De préférence, la paroi 85 du second volet 43 est reliée à deux vérins 87 disposés de manière symétrique par rapport à l'axe longitudinal la benne 5, comme représenté sur la figure 12.Preferably, the wall 85 of the second flap 43 is connected to two cylinders 87 arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis longitudinal the bucket 5, as shown in FIG. 12.

Ce second volet 43 est apte à prendre trois positions, respectivement d'ouverture (figure 9), de fermeture (figure 10) et d'ouverture réduite (figure 11).This second flap 43 is able to take three positions, respectively opening (figure 9), closing (figure 10) and reduced opening (figure 11).

Le premier volet de compactage 41 peut comporter des perforations 90, représentées à la figure 12, permettant à l'opérateur de contrôler la hauteur des déchets dans la benne 5 ou le vidage du container.The first compaction flap 41 may include perforations 90, shown in Figure 12, allowing the operator control the height of the waste in the bucket 5 or the emptying of the container.

Selon une variante, le bouclier fouloir 18 comporte des ouvertures 91 permettant le passage de barreaux 92 longitudinaux fixés d'une part à la barre 80 et d'autre part à la paroi avant 8 de la benne par l'intermédiaire par exemple de goupilles 93. Ces barreaux associés à la barre 80 permettent avantageusement de poser le container de façon à ouvrir ce dernier. Alternatively, the gland shield 18 includes openings 91 allowing the passage of bars 92 longitudinal fixed on the one hand to the bar 80 and on the other hand to the front wall 8 of the grab through, for example, pins 93. These bars associated with the bar 80 advantageously make it possible to place the container to open it.

Dans la partie en aval de la barre 80, en considérant la figure 10, des barres anti-retour 94 longitudinales des déchets sont reliées de manière articulée à l'une de leurs extrémités autour d'un axe transversal 95 solidaire de la barre 80. Ces barres anti-retour 94 sont destinées à se soulever sous l'action des déchets introduits, jusqu'à leurs contacts en butée contre le toit.In the downstream part of bar 80, considering the figure 10, longitudinal anti-return bars 94 of the waste are connected hinged at one of their ends around an axis transverse 95 secured to the bar 80. These non-return bars 94 are intended to be lifted under the action of the waste introduced, up to their contacts in abutment against the roof.

Les barres anti-retour 94 peuvent avantageusement être remplacées par un volet transversal articulé autour d'un axe transversal solidaire des parois latérales 7 de la benne. Ce volet est ainsi apte à pivoter sous l'action des déchets entre au moins deux butées 99, représentées en silhouette sur la figure 10, solidaires des parois 7.The check bars 94 can advantageously be replaced by a transverse flap articulated around an axis transverse integral with the side walls 7 of the bucket. This component is thus able to pivot under the action of waste between at least two stops 99, shown in silhouette in FIG. 10, integral with the walls 7.

On notera que le vérin 14 à la différence du premier mode de réalisation peut être relié au fond 6 de la benne et disposé sensiblement horizontalement à l'intérieur de cette dernière comme visible à la figure 10.It will be noted that the jack 14, unlike the first mode of realization can be connected to the bottom 6 of the bucket and arranged substantially horizontally inside the latter as visible in Figure 10.

Avantageusement, selon la variante décrite ci-dessus, un vérin télescopique, non représenté, est disposé sensiblement verticalement entre le fond de la benne et le berceau 12 ou châssis du véhicule de manière à réaliser le basculement de la benne autour de l'axe 13.Advantageously, according to the variant described above, a cylinder telescopic, not shown, is arranged substantially vertically between the bottom of the bucket and the cradle 12 or chassis of the vehicle so as to tilt the bucket around the axis 13.

Ce mode de réalisation permet ainsi de déplacer le bouclier fouloir 18 dans la benne et par voie de conséquence du premier volet de compactage 41 lors d'une opération de bennage ou de basculement.This embodiment thus makes it possible to move the shield follower 18 in the bucket and consequently of the first flap compaction 41 during a tipping operation or failover.

On a représenté sur les figures 13 et 14, une variante de fixation de l'avant de la benne avec le berceau 12, dans laquelle la ferrure 15 la benne est constituée d'une articulation pivot permettant des débattements angulaires verticale de la benne suivant un angle α. Cette fixation de la benne 5 permet avantageusement une souplesse tortionnelle de la benne.FIGS. 13 and 14 show a variant of fixing the front of the bucket with the cradle 12, in which the fitting 15 the bucket consists of a pivot joint allowing vertical angular deflections of the bucket at an angle α. This attachment of the bucket 5 advantageously allows flexibility grab torturer.

On notera que les moyens de verrouillage 30 sont adaptés et conformés de telle manière à se fixer sur la ferrure 15, comme visible sur les figures 13 et 14, illustrant respectivement le verrouillage du bouclier fouloir 18 avec la benne et le verrouillage de l'avant de la benne avec le châssis 2 ou berceau 12.It will be noted that the locking means 30 are adapted and shaped so as to be fixed on the fitting 15, as visible in Figures 13 and 14, respectively illustrating the locking of the gland shield 18 with the bucket and the locking from the front of the bucket with chassis 2 or cradle 12.

On comprend à la lecture de la description ci-dessus des deux modes de réalisations que la présente invention permet de s'adapter à toutes sortes de déchets ménagers et tous types de containers.We understand from reading the above description of the two embodiments that the present invention allows to adapt to all kinds of household waste and all types of containers.

De plus, par ce dispositif de compactage des déchets selon la présente invention, la benne peut accueillir un volume plus important de déchets, et permet de compacter ces derniers de manière très rapide, par des moyens simples et fiables.In addition, by this waste compacting device according to the present invention, the bucket can accommodate a volume more significant amount of waste, and makes it possible to compact these very quickly, by simple and reliable means.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation qui ont été décrits; on pourrait au contraire concevoir diverses variantes sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. C'est ainsi, par exemple, que la benne peut être montée sur une remorque ou un véhicule.Of course, the invention is not limited to the modes of which have been described; we could on the contrary conceive various variants without departing from the scope of the invention. This is how, by example, that the bucket can be mounted on a trailer or vehicle.
