Opfindelsen angår et kildesorteringsapparat som bl.a. beskrevet i DK ansøgning nr. 398/89 eller SE fremlæggelsesskrift nr. 388 182. For sådanne konstruktioner gælder det, at de ikke kan fungere efter hensigten, hvis affaldsbe-5 holderne , der er placeret under sorteringsapparatet bliver overfyldte, og affaldet når op i sorteringsapparatet og hindrer dets bevægelighed.The invention relates to a source sorting apparatus such as described in DK application no. 398/89 or SE presenting application no. 388 182. For such constructions, they cannot function as intended if the waste containers located under the sorting apparatus become overcrowded and the waste reaches the the sorting apparatus and impedes its movement.

I ældre ejendomme er der ofte trange pladsforhold i rummet hvor skakten udmunder, og efter installation af sorterings-10 udstyr, skal der skaffes plads til flere beholdere, som derfor har for ringe kapacitet. Beholderne skal nu tømmes endnu oftere, og dermed stiger risikoen for at disse overfyldes og sorteringsudstyret blokeres.In older properties, there are often tight space conditions in the room where the shaft opens, and after installation of sorting-10 equipment, more containers must be provided, which therefore have too little capacity. The containers must now be emptied even more frequently, thus increasing the risk of overcrowding and the sorting equipment being blocked.

15 Et sorteringsapparat ifølge opfindelsen er kendetegnet ved at der over beholderne er placeret en hovedsagelig vertikalt bevægelig stang, som med mellemrum automatisk bevæges et lille stykke ned i beholderen, hvilken stang er forsynet med en fod, som i sin bageste del er drejelig om 20 en vandret akse og er foran akslen hængslet til den neder-ste ende af en passiv, friktionsdæmpet teleskopstang, hvis øverste ende er hængslet til et fast holdepunkt.A sorting apparatus according to the invention is characterized in that a substantially vertically movable rod is placed above the containers, which at intervals are automatically moved a short distance into the container, which rod is provided with a foot which is rotatable in its rear part. horizontal axis and is hinged in front of the shaft to the lower end of a passive, frictionally damped telescopic rod, the upper end of which is hinged to a fixed holding point.

Stangen stopper det øverste affald ned i beholderen og 25 forhindrer derved at sorteringsapparatet blokeres.The rod stops the upper waste into the container, thereby preventing the sorting apparatus from being blocked.

Når stangen bevæges nedad, vil teleskopstangen yde en vis mindre modstand mod bevægelsen og derved straks dreje foden op i vandret stilling, i hvilken stilling den kan stoppe affaldet ned i beholderen, hvorved beholderen 30 også kan rumme mere affald end i løst lejret tilstand.As the rod is moved downward, the telescopic rod will provide some less resistance to the movement, thereby immediately turning the foot upwards in a horizontal position, in which position it can stop the waste into the container, whereby the container 30 may also contain more waste than in the loosely stored state.

Når stangen bevæges opad igen, vil teleskopstangen også yde en modstand herimod og dreje foden tilbage til lodret stilling, hvorved det hindres, at foden løfter affaldet med op eller spærrer for dets frie fald ned i behold-35 eren.When the rod is moved upward again, the telescopic rod will also resist and rotate the foot back to the vertical position, thereby preventing the foot from lifting the waste up or blocking its free fall into the container.

Et sorteringsapparat er normalt styret af en automatisk elektronisk styringsenhed, som indstiller skaktens udmunding over den beholder, som det nedkastede affald ønskes dumpet i. Dette sker normalt efter at brugeren har aktiv-40 eret en trykknap på et panel ved indkastningsåbningen.A sorting apparatus is usually controlled by an automatic electronic control unit which adjusts the mouth of the shaft over the container in which the discarded waste is desired to be dumped. This is usually done after the user activates a push button on a panel at the inlet opening.

På et sorteringsapparat ifg. opfindelsen kan impulsen fra trykknappen, som dirigerer mundingen henover den ønskede beholder, også anvendes til via styringsenheden 45 efter en passende tidforsinkelse at starte elmotoren, som driver nedstopperstangen på den pågældende beholder.On a sorting apparatus according to. In the invention, the impulse from the pushbutton which directs the orifice over the desired container can also be used to start via the control unit 45 after a suitable time delay, the electric motor which drives the downstop rod on that container.

Det opnåes herved at foden automatisk foretager en ned-stopning hver gang der er kastet nyt affald i den pågældende beholder.It is hereby achieved that the foot automatically pauses each time new waste is thrown into the container in question.

Når beholderen fyldes op og foden stopper endnu en pose 50 2 DK 166872 B1 affald ned, vil motorens strømforbrug stige en smule.When the container fills up and the foot stops another bag 50 2 DK 166872 B1 waste, the engine's power consumption will increase slightly.

I et sorteringsapparat if g. opfindelsen er el-motoren, der driver nedstopperen udstyret med en transducer,der 5 giver impuls til styringsenheden, når motorens drivstrøm øges over et vist niveau, hvorefter der tændes en lampe på et oversigtspanel anbragt i en betjeningscentral, hvor personalet herved adviseres om, at den pågældende beholder behøver tømning. Det samme signal kan efter en pas-10 sende tidsforsinkelse tænde en lampe på betjeningspanelet ved indkastningslågen, som indikerer at beholderen er fyldt op og nedkastning af affald af den pågældende fraktion ikke må finde sted.In a sorting apparatus according to the invention, the electric motor driving the downstopper is equipped with a transducer which gives impulse to the control unit as the motor's driving current is increased above a certain level, after which a lamp on a control panel is switched on in a control center, where the staff is hereby advised that the container in question needs emptying. The same signal may, after a suitable delay, light a lamp on the control panel at the insertion door, indicating that the container is filled up and waste of the fraction in question must not take place.

Når beholderen tømmes, annuleres dette signal.When the container is emptied, this signal is canceled.

25 På fig. 1 og 2 ses den roterende slidsk 1, som er lejret i chassisrammen 2. Affaldet nedkastes gennem skaktrøret 3 og fordeles ved styret rotation af slidsken til en af beholderne 4. Styringen foregår fra en elektronisk styre-30 enhed, der ikke er vist på tegningen, og som modtager en impuls fra et trykknappanel placeret ved indkastningsåb-ningen på hvilken brugeren aktiverer den knap, som svarer til den affaldsfraktion der nedkastes.25 In FIG. 1 and 2, the rotating slit 1 stored in the chassis frame 2 is seen. The waste is thrown through the shaft 3 and distributed by controlled rotation of the slider to one of the containers 4. The control takes place from an electronic control unit not shown in the drawing. and receiving a pulse from a pushbutton located at the slot opening on which the user activates the button corresponding to the waste fraction being thrown.

35 Spindelmotoren 5 med nedstopperstangen 6 er monteret et passende sted på chassisrammen 2, således at foden 7 kan stoppe ned centralt i den pågældende beholder.The spindle motor 5 with the downstop rod 6 is mounted at an appropriate location on the chassis frame 2 so that the foot 7 can stop down centrally in the respective container.

På fig. 3 er vist et detailbillede af nedstopperen if g.In FIG. 3 is a detailed view of the downstopper if g.

40 opfindelsen. Foden 7 er vist i løftet stilling, og med punkteret streg er vist foden i nedsænket stilling.The invention. The foot 7 is shown in the raised position and with the dotted line the foot is shown in the lowered position.

Foden er drejelig om akslen 8. Foran akslen er foden hængslet til den nederste ende af teleskopstangen 9, hvis øverste ende 10 er hængslet på motorhusets over-45 side. I nederste ende af teleskopstangens faste kappe 11 er der indbygget nylonplade 12, som holdes ind mod den bevægelige stang 9 af den låsbare skrue 13. Herved ydes friktionsmodstand mod bevægelse udad såvel som indad af teleskopstangen 9.The foot is rotatable about the shaft 8. In front of the shaft, the foot is hinged to the lower end of the telescopic rod 9, the upper end 10 of which is hinged on the over-45 side of the motor housing. At the bottom end of the fixed sheath 11 of the telescopic rod 11 is a nylon plate 12 which is held against the movable rod 9 by the lockable screw 13. This provides frictional resistance to movement outwards as well as inwards by the telescopic rod 9.

Spindelmotoren 5 startes fra styringsenheden efter en passende tidsforsinkelse efter at slidsken 1 er drejet hen over den pågældende beholder. Teleskopstangens modstand mod at blive trukket ud drejer foden 7 ud i vand-5 ret stilling, og når foden er nået til nederste position, vendes strømmen af en mekanisk omskifter, og teleskopstangen 9 drejer foden 7 til lodret stilling før den trækkes med op.The spindle motor 5 is started from the control unit after a suitable time delay after the slide 1 has been rotated over the respective container. The resistance of the telescopic rod to being pulled out turns the foot 7 out in the horizontal position, and when the foot has reached the lower position, the current is turned by a mechanical switch, and the telescopic rod 9 turns the foot 7 to the vertical position before being pulled up.

10 På motoren 5 er monteret en transducer, som giver en impuls til styringsenheden, når drivstrømmen øges til et vist niveau, som indikerer at affaldet yder modstand mod fodens nedadgående bevægelse, d.v.s., at beholderen er ved at være fyldt op. Styringsenheden tænder herefter en 15 lampe på et oversigtspanel, som overvåges af personalet.10 On the motor 5 is mounted a transducer which gives an impulse to the control unit as the driving current is increased to a certain level which indicates that the waste is resisting the downward movement of the foot, i.e. that the container is being filled up. The controller then turns on a 15 lamp on an overview panel which is monitored by the staff.

Efter en passende tidsforsinkelse tænder styringsenheden også en lampe på betjeningspanelerne på den pågældende skakt, til orientering for brugerne om, at affald af den pågældende fraktion ikke må nedkastes.After an appropriate time delay, the control unit also lights a lamp on the control panels of the respective shaft, to inform the users that waste of that fraction must not be thrown away.
