Abstract

The refuse storage container comprises a compression chamber (1), an ash pan (2) for receiving the refuse, communicating with the compression chamber (1) by means of a loading orifice (3), and a compacting device (4) mounted so as to pivot in the ash pan (2) between a retracted position in which it is distant from the loading orifice (3) and an advanced position in which it advances in the latter. The storage container comprises a second compacting device (16), limiting the height of the loading orifice (3), this second compacting device being displaceable between an advanced position and a retracted position at the same time as the first compacting device (4), but in the opposite direction. The refuse contained in the compression chamber (1) may thus be compressed further, which makes it possible to increase the loading capabilities of the storage container. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention concerne une benne pour le ramassage des ordures et produits similaires, du type comprenant une chambre de compression, un cendrier de réception des ordures communiquant avec la chambre de compression par l'intermédiaire d'un orifice de chargement, un dispositif de compactage monté pivotant dans le cendrier entre une position rétractée extrême dans laquelle il est éloigné de l'orifice de chargement et une position avancée extrême dans laquelle il s'y étend, et un second dispositif de compactage limitant en hauteur l'orifice de chargement ce second dispositif étant déplacable entre une position rétractée extrême et une position avancée extrême sous la commande du premier dispositif de compactage.The present invention relates to a dumpster for collecting refuse and similar products, of the type comprising a compression chamber, an ashtray for receiving refuse communicating with the compression chamber via a loading orifice, a compacting device pivotally mounted in the ashtray between an extreme retracted position in which it is distant from the loading orifice and an extreme advanced position in which it extends therein, and a second compacting device limiting in height the loading orifice this second device being movable between an extreme retracted position and an extreme advanced position under the control of the first compacting device.

Une benne à ordures de ce type est décrite par exemple dans FR-A-2 512 792. Le second dispositif de compactage de cette benne a pour fonction de tasser les ordures dans le cendrier et non pour comprimer les ordures à l'interieur de la chambre. FR-A-2 298 493 décrit un dispositif de compactage comportant une porte superieure faisant fonction de presse et une porte inférieure dont l'arrière sur de portillon de retenue. Quelle que soit sa position, la porte inférieure n'exerce pas de compression sur les produits transférés dans la chambre de compression.A garbage bin of this type is described for example in FR-A-2,512,792. The second device for compacting this bin has the function of packing the garbage in the ashtray and not for compressing the garbage inside the bedroom. FR-A-2 298 493 describes a compacting device comprising an upper door acting as a press and a lower door, the rear of which is on a retaining gate. Whatever its position, the lower door does not exert compression on the products transferred to the compression chamber.

Pour des questions économiques évidentes, il est indispensable de charger les bennes à ordures au maximum de leur capacité et par conséquent de fortement comprimer le contenu de leur chambre de compression.For obvious economic reasons, it is essential to load the dumpsters to the maximum of their capacity and consequently to strongly compress the contents of their compression chamber.

Les dispositifs de compactage des bennes décrites dans l'etat antérieur de la technique ne sont pas assez puissants pour satisfaire pleinement cette exigence, les ordures se trouvant dans la chambre de compression aux endroits les plus éloignés de l'orifice de chargement n'étant que partiellement comprimées.The compacting devices of the buckets described in the prior art are not powerful enough to fully satisfy this requirement, the refuse being in the compression chamber at the points furthest from the loading orifice being only partially compressed.

La présente invention se propose de remédier à cet inconvénient et, pour ce faire, elle a pour objet une benne du type susmentionné qui se caractérisé en ce que les premier et second dispositifs de compactage sont déplacables en sens inverse de sorte telle sorte que l'un d'eux vient en position avancée lorsque l'autre vient en position rétractée et vice-versa, et en ce que le second dispositif de compactage réduit les dimensions de l'orifice de chargement et effectue une compression supplémentaire sur les produits transférés dans la chambre de compression lorsque le premier dispositif se déplace vers sa position rétractée, et augmente ces dimensions lorsque le premier dispositif se déplace vers sa position avancée.The present invention proposes to overcome this drawback and, to do this, it relates to a bucket of the aforementioned type which is characterized in that the first and second compacting devices are movable in opposite directions so that the one of them comes in the advanced position when the other comes in the retracted position and vice versa, and in that the second compacting device reduces the dimensions of the loading orifice and performs additional compression on the products transferred into the compression chamber when the first device moves to its retracted position, and increases these dimensions when the first device moves to its advanced position.

Comme les dimensions de l'orifice de chargement augmentent lorsque le premier dispositif de compression se déplace vers sa position avancée, les ordures et autres produits peuvent être transférés plus facilement dans la chambre de compression.As the dimensions of the loading opening increase as the first compression device moves to its advanced position, garbage and other products can be transferred more easily into the compression chamber.

Comme par ailleurs les dimensions de l'orifice de chargement diminuent lorsque le premier dispositif de compression revient vers sa position rétractée et que le second dispositif de compression exerce pendant ce temps une compression supplémentaire sur les produits transférés dans la chambre de compression, la capacité de chargement de la benne se trouve augmentée.As, moreover, the dimensions of the loading orifice decrease when the first compression device returns to its retracted position and when the second compression device exerts an additional compression during this time on the products transferred into the compression chamber, the capacity of bucket loading is increased.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, le second dispositif de compactage est prévu à l'extrémité inférieure d'une paroi transversale articulée sur les parois longitudidnales de la benne autour d'un axe parallèle à l'axe de pivotement du premier dispositif de compactage.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the second compacting device is provided at the lower end of a transverse wall articulated on the longitudinal walls of the bucket around an axis parallel to the pivot axis of the first compacting device.

L'installation du second dispositif de compactage ne complique pratiquement pas la structure de la benne puisque la paroi transversale qui le porte peut remplacer la paroi transversale arrière de la chambre de compression.The installation of the second compacting device hardly complicates the structure of the bucket since the transverse wall which carries it can replace the rear transverse wall of the compression chamber.

Avantageusement, le second dispositif de compactage est déplaçable entre ces positions avancée et rétractée sous la commande du premier dispositif de compactage.Advantageously, the second compacting device can be moved between these advanced and retracted positions under the control of the first compacting device.

Cette disposition simplifie bien entendu la structure de la benne en évitant la présence de moyens d'entraînement particuliers pour déplacer le second dispositif de compactage entre ses positions avancée et rétractée.This arrangement naturally simplifies the structure of the bucket by avoiding the presence of special drive means for moving the second compacting device between its advanced and retracted positions.

En ce qui concerne le premier dispositif de compactage, il comprend deux bras latéraux montés pivotants sur les parois longitudinales de la benne et est relié au second dispositif de compactage par l'intermédiaire de deux bielles interposées entre ce dernier et ses bras latéraux Il est en outre déplaçable entre ses positions avancée et rétractée sous la commande de deux vérins articulés respectivement sur ses bras latéraux et sur les parois longitudinales de la benne.As regards the first compacting device, it comprises two lateral arms pivotally mounted on the longitudinal walls of the bucket and is connected to the second compacting device by means of two connecting rods interposed between the latter and its lateral arms. further movable between its advanced and retracted positions under the control of two cylinders articulated respectively on its lateral arms and on the longitudinal walls of the bucket.

Un mode d'exécution de la présente invention sera décrit ci-après a titre d'exemple nullement limitatif en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • . la figure 1 est une vue de côté schématique et en coupe de l'arrière d'une benne à ordures conforme à l'invention, les premier et second dispositifs de compactage étant représentés respectivement dans leurs positions rétractée et avancée ; et
  • . la figure 2 est une vue analogue à la figure 1, mais représentant les premier et second dispositifs de compactage respectivement dans leurs positions avancée et rétractée.
An embodiment of the present invention will be described below by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
  • . Figure 1 is a schematic side view in section of the rear of a dumpster according to the invention, the first and second compacting devices being shown respectively in their retracted and advanced positions; and
  • . Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, but showing the first and second compacting devices respectively in their advanced and retracted positions.

La benne à ordures dont on ne voit que la partie arrière sur les dessins est plus particulièrement destinée à être installée sur le châssis d'un camion non représenté.The dumpster, the rear part of which can only be seen in the drawings, is more particularly intended to be installed on the chassis of a truck not shown.

Elle comprend d'une manière connue en soi une chambre de compression 1, un cendrier 2 apte à recevoir les ordures collectées, ce cendrier communiquant avec la chambre 1 par l'intermédiaire d'un orifice de chargement 3, et un dispositif de compactage 4 monté pivotant dans le cendrier 2 entre une position rétractée visible sur la figure 1 dans laquelle il est éloigné de l'orifice 3 et une position avancée visible sur la figure 2 dans laquelle il s'avance dans l'orifice 3.It comprises, in a manner known per se, a compression chamber 1, an ashtray 2 capable of receiving the collected refuse, this ashtray communicating with the chamber 1 via a loading orifice 3, and a compacting device 4 pivotally mounted in the ashtray 2 between a retracted position visible in FIG. 1 in which it is distant from the orifice 3 and an advanced position visible in FIG. 2 in which it advances into the orifice 3.

Le dispositif de compactage 4 comprend deux bras latéraux 5 montés pivotants autour de tourillons coaxiaux 6 prenant appui sur les parois longitudinales 7 de la benne et est déplaçable entre ses positions rétractée et avancée sous la commande de deux vérins a double effet 8 articulés en 9 sur les bras latéraux 5 et en 10 sur les parois longitudinales 7 de la benne.The compacting device 4 comprises two lateral arms 5 pivotally mounted around coaxial pins 6 bearing on the longitudinal walls 7 of the bucket and is movable between its retracted and advanced positions under the control of two double-acting cylinders 8 articulated at 9 on the side arms 5 and 10 on the longitudinal walls 7 of the bucket.

On notera ici que dans la position rétractée du dispositif de compactage 4, les bras 5 s'étendent sensiblement horizontalement tandis que les articulations des vérins 8 sur les bras 5 sont en avant des tourillons 6 et plus hauts que ces derniers. On notera également que, quelle que soit la position du dispositif de compactage, les axes longitudinaux 11 des vérins 8 passent toujours au-dessus des tourillons 6.It will be noted here that in the retracted position of the compacting device 4, the arms 5 extend substantially horizontally while the articulations of the jacks 8 on the arms 5 are in front of the pins 6 and higher than the latter. It will also be noted that, whatever the position of the compacting device, the longitudinal axes 11 of the jacks 8 always pass over the pins 6.

Dans l'exemple représenté, les vérins 8 sont articulés sur les bras 5 par l'intermédiaire de leur tige de piston et sur les parois longitudinales 7 de la benne par l'intermédiaire de leur cylindre. Il va de soi cependant que leur position de montage pourrait être inversée.In the example shown, the jacks 8 are articulated on the arms 5 by means of their piston rod and on the longitudinal walls 7 of the bucket by means of their cylinder. It goes without saying, however, that their mounting position could be reversed.

Le cendrier 2 comporte un fond 12 ayant la forme d'un quart de cylindre et deux flasques longitudinaux 13 présentant une découpe 14 en quart de cercle pour ne pas heurter les tourillons 6. Il est articulé sur la benne par l'intermédiaire d'une charnière 15 longeant le côté transversal inférieur de son fond et peut pivoter d'environ 90° entre une position haute visible sur les figures 1 et 2 dans laquelle son fond 12 est coaxial avec les tourillons 6 et une position basse non représentée dans laquelle son fond 12 est tourné vers l'arrière de la benne.The ashtray 2 has a bottom 12 having the shape of a quarter of a cylinder and two longitudinal flanges 13 having a cutout 14 in a quarter of a circle so as not to strike the pins 6. It is articulated on the bucket by means of a hinge 15 running along the lower transverse side of its bottom and can pivot about 90 ° between a high position visible in FIGS. 1 and 2 in which its bottom 12 is coaxial with the pins 6 and a low position not shown in which its bottom 12 faces the rear of the bucket.

Grâce à cette disposition, la benne conforme a l'invention peut être chargée par l'arrière puisqu'il suffit de positionner le cendrier 2 dans sa position basse pour y introduire les ordures, puis de le remonter dans sa position haute pour permettre au dispositif de compactage 4 de transférer ces ordures dans la chambre de compression 1.Thanks to this arrangement, the bucket according to the invention can be loaded from the rear since it suffices to position the ashtray 2 in its low position to introduce the garbage, then to raise it in its high position to allow the device compaction 4 to transfer this garbage into the compression chamber 1.

Conformément à l'invention, la benne à ordures comprend un second dispositif de compactage 16 limitant l'orifice de chargement 3 en hauteur, ce dispositif étant apte à pivoter entre une position avancée visible sur la figure 1 et une position rétractée visible sur la figure 2 pendant que le dispositif de compactage 4 se déplace entre ses positions rétractée et avancée.According to the invention, the dumpster comprises a second compacting device 16 limiting the loading orifice 3 in height, this device being able to pivot between an advanced position visible in Figure 1 and a retracted position visible in the figure 2 while the compacting device 4 is moving between its retracted and advanced positions.

Le dispositif de compactage 16 est prévu a l'extrémité inférieure d'une paroi transversale 17 articulée sur les parois longitudinales 7 de la benne autour des axes d'articulation 10 des vérins 8 et est relié aux bras 5 par l'intermédiaire de deux bielles latérales 18.The compacting device 16 is provided at the lower end of a transverse wall 17 articulated on the longitudinal walls 7 of the bucket around the articulation axes 10 of the jacks 8 and is connected to the arms 5 by means of two lateral connecting rods 18.

On remarquera sur les dessins que la paroi 17 sépare la chambre 1 d'une trémie 19 surplombant le cendrier 2 et que les articulations des bielles 18 sur les bras 5 sont prévues en des points 20 qui, lorsque le dispositif de compactage 4 est dans sa position rétractée, sont en avant des tourillons 6 et plus bas que les articulations 9 des vérins 8 sur les bras 5.It will be noted in the drawings that the wall 17 separates the chamber 1 from a hopper 19 overhanging the ashtray 2 and that the articulations of the connecting rods 18 on the arms 5 are provided at points 20 which, when the compacting device 4 is in its retracted position, are in front of the pins 6 and lower than the joints 9 of the jacks 8 on the arms 5.

D'une manière connue en soi, un volet 21 est articulé le long du bord antérieur supérieur du dispositif de compactage 4 par l'intermédiaire d'une charnière 22, ce volet portant des galets 23 s'appuyant sur des glissières inclinées 24 fixées à l'arrière de la benne.In a manner known per se, a flap 21 is articulated along the upper front edge of the compacting device 4 by means of a hinge 22, this flap carrying rollers 23 resting on inclined slides 24 fixed to the back of the bucket.

Par ailleurs, une paroi inclinée 25 articulée le long du côté transversal supérieur arrière de la trémie 19 par l'intermédiaire d'une charniére 26 recouvre entièrement le volet 21 lorsque le dispositif de compactage 4 est dans sa position rétractée et demeure au-dessus du côté transversal postérieur du volet 20 lorsque le dispositif de compactage 4 est dans sa position avancée.Furthermore, an inclined wall 25 articulated along the rear upper transverse side of the hopper 19 by means of a hinge 26 completely covers the flap 21 when the compacting device 4 is in its retracted position and remains above the rear transverse side of the flap 20 when the compacting device 4 is in its advanced position.

Ainsi, grâce au volet 21 et à la paroi inclinée 25, la benne à ordures peut également être chargée par le haut sans que les ordures puissent venir en arrière du dispositif de compactage 4.Thus, thanks to the flap 21 and the inclined wall 25, the refuse bin can also be loaded from above without the refuse being able to come behind the compacting device 4.

Le fonctionnement de la benne conforme à l'invention est particulièrement simple. En effet, lorsque le dispositif de compactage 4 se déplace de sa position rétractée visible sur la figure 1 à sa position avancée visible sur la figure 2 pour transférer dans la chambre de compression 1 les ordures contenues dans le cendrier 2, le dispositif de compactage 16 se déplace en sens inverse, de sa position avancée visible sur la figure 1 à sa position rétractée visible sur la figure 2, permettant ainsi une augmentation des dimensions de l'orifice 3. L'introduction des ordures dans la chambre de compression est par suite plus facile.The operation of the bucket according to the invention is particularly simple. In fact, when the compacting device 4 moves from its retracted position visible in FIG. 1 to its advanced position visible in FIG. 2 to transfer the refuse contained in the ashtray 2 into the compression chamber 1, the compacting device 16 moves in opposite direction, from its advanced position visible in FIG. 1 to its retracted position visible in FIG. 2, thus allowing an increase in the dimensions of the orifice 3. The introduction of the refuse into the compression chamber is consequently easier.

Inversement, lorsque le dispositif de compactage 4 retourne vers sa position rétractée, le dispositif de compactage 16 retourne quant à lui vers sa position avancée en réduisant les dimensions de l'orifice de chargement 3 et en exerçant une compression supplémentaire sur les ordures se trouvant dans la chambre de compression.Conversely, when the compacting device 4 returns to its retracted position, the compacting device 16 returns to its advanced position by reducing the dimensions of the loading orifice 3 and by exerting additional compression on the garbage in the compression chamber.

Ainsi, grâce au second dispositif de compactage 16, les ordures contenues dans la chambre 1 peuvent être davantage comprimées, ce qui permet une augmentation appréciable des possibilités de chargement de la benne.Thus, thanks to the second compacting device 16, the refuse contained in the chamber 1 can be more compressed, which allows a significant increase in the possibilities of loading the bucket.
