Abstract

System for collecting, by means of a vehicle (A), refuse contained in bins (B) fixed on to a fixed support (S, D) by means of an arm (C). Another arm (F) fixed to the vehicle raises a bearing point of the bin (B) and an extension arm causes it to tilt over a feed opening leading to a zone (E) for compacting the refuse. A flap compresses the refuse and the opening of a shutter then causes them to pass into a refuse bin (H). The removal of rubbish is therefore entirely automatic. The bins (B) are lockable. Application to public places provided with bins having a fixed position and which are located at closely-spaced intervals. <IMAGE>

Description

L'invention se rapporte à un système intégré dans un véhicule de collecte de déchets contenus dans des corbeilles.The invention relates to a system integrated into a vehicle for collecting waste contained in baskets.

On connaît déjà des systèmes de ramassage d'ordures ménagères auxquels on peut cependant repro­cher d'une façon générale un recours excessif à l'in­tervention humaine notamment pour ramasser les pou­belles ou les conteneurs, les rapprocher d'une benne du véhicule et les y vider. L'invention a au contraire pour objet un système perfectionné aussi automatisé que possible puisqu'il ne requiert plus que le conduc­teur du véhicule, la manutention des corbeilles étant effectuée mécaniquement.Household waste collection systems are already known which, however, can generally be criticized for excessive use of human intervention, in particular for picking up trash cans or containers, bringing them closer to a dump body and emptying them there. . The subject of the invention, on the contrary, is an improved system as automated as possible since it only requires the driver of the vehicle, the handling of the baskets being carried out mechanically.

Le système de collecte conforme à l'invention est caractérisé sous sa forme la plus générale par des corbeilles accrochées à un support par l'inter­médiaire d'un ensemble de liaison autorisant des mouve­ments de la corbeille dans un plan de débattement vertical, par une articulation de la corbeille sur l'ensemble de liaison de façon à autoriser un bascule­ment de la corbeille dans le plan de débattement, par un appui de préhension sur la corbeille et par un bras déplaçable verticalement et horizontalement sur le véhicule, ce bras étant muni d'une surface de réception de l'appui et d'un avant-bras tournant appuyant sur la corbeille pour la faire basculer.The collection system according to the invention is characterized in its most general form by baskets attached to a support by means of a connecting assembly allowing movements of the basket in a vertical deflection plane, by a hinge of the basket on the connection assembly so as to allow the basket to tilt in the deflection plane, by a gripping support on the basket and by an arm movable vertically and horizontally on the vehicle, this arm being provided with a support receiving surface and a rotating forearm pressing on the basket to tilt it.

L'ensemble de liaison est avantageusement un bras articulé à ses deux extrémités sur la corbeille et le support. On peut alors prévoir l'appui sous forme d'un galet tournant, la surface de réception du bras du véhicule étant alors une face supérieure horizontale de ce bras, sur laquelle le galet roule.The connecting assembly is advantageously an arm articulated at its two ends on the basket and the support. We can then provide the support in the form of a rotating roller, the receiving surface of the vehicle arm then being a horizontal upper face of this arm, on which the roller rolls.

On a également conçu, pour éviter les manipu­lations malveillantes de telles corbeilles, de les munir d'un système de verrouillage constitué d'un loquet pivotant dans le plan de débattement et portant l'appui, d'une rainure entaillant le bas du loquet, d'un ressort ramenant le loquet vers le bas et d'un piton fixe et horizontal pénétrant dans la rainure en l'absence de soulèvement de l'appui par le bras du véhicule.It has also been designed, to avoid malicious manipulation of such baskets, to provide them with a locking system consisting of a latch pivoting in the travel plane and bearing the support, with a groove cutting the bottom of the latch, a spring bringing the latch down and a fixed and horizontal bolt penetrating into the groove in the absence of lifting of the support by the arm of the vehicle.

Une configuration spéciale du véhicule est également proposée : la benne de collecte des déchets se compose d'un compartiment de stockage et d'un compartiment de compactage séparés par un volet escamo­table. Les déchets sont versés tout d'abord dans le compartiment de compactage, qui est partiellement délimité par un battant déplaçable vers le volet pour réduire son volume et dans lequel les déchets recueillis sont ainsi comprimés avant d'être précipités dans le compartiment de stockage quand le volet est escamoté. On peut munir le fond du compartiment de compactage de trous pour permettre l'écoulement des déchets liquides vers un compartiment de récupération.A special vehicle configuration is also available: the waste collection bin is made up of a storage compartment and a compaction compartment separated by a retractable flap. The waste is first poured into the compacting compartment, which is partially delimited by a leaf movable towards the shutter to reduce its volume and in which the collected waste is thus compressed before being precipitated in the storage compartment when the flap is retracted. The bottom of the compacting compartment can be provided with holes to allow the liquid waste to flow into a recovery compartment.

Une poubelle amovible peut être prévue dans le compartiment de stockage.A removable bin can be provided in the storage compartment.

On va maintenant décrire l'invention plus en détail à l'aide des figures suivantes annexées à titre illustratif et nullement limitatif :

  • - la figure 1 est une vue de l'arrière du véhicule et d'une corbeille en position de collecte des déchets ;
  • - la figure 2 est une vue correspondante de côté où le véhicule et la corbeille ont toutefois été dessinés avec un décalage longitudinal fictif pour une plus grande clarté ;
  • - les figures 3 et 4 représentent des détail agrandis de la figure 1 ; et
  • - les figures 5, 6 et 7 détaillent le système de verrouillage des corbeilles et son fonctionnement.
The invention will now be described in more detail with the aid of the following figures, which are given by way of illustration and in no way limitative:
  • - Figure 1 is a view of the rear of the vehicle and a basket in the waste collection position;
  • - Figure 2 is a corresponding side view where the vehicle and the basket were however drawn with a fictitious longitudinal offset for greater clarity;
  • - Figures 3 and 4 show enlarged details of Figure 1; and
  • - Figures 5, 6 and 7 detail the basket locking system and its operation.

On voit sur les figures 1 et 2 que le véhi­cule est globalement référencé par A. Il progresse grâce à des chenilles 1 sur un sol qui peut être un quai S de station de métropolitain ou de chemin de fer, et il est en outre composé d'une cabine de pilo­tage 2 à l'avant et d'une benne 3 à l'arrière, qui peut elle-même être décomposée en un compartiment de compactage E des déchets et un compartiment de stochage G des déchets contenant une poubelle amovible H. La benne 3 porte un système de préhension F, éven­tuellement en deux exemplaires, des corbeilles B. La benne 3 pivote sur un tourillon vertical 4 réglé par un actionneur hydraulique 5 articulé en un point fixe du véhicule A.It can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 that the vehicle is generally referenced by A. It progresses by means of tracks 1 on a ground which may be a platform S of a metropolitan or railway station, and it is furthermore composed of '' a cockpit 2 at the front and a bucket 3 at the rear, which can itself be broken down into a compacting compartment E for waste and a storage compartment G for waste containing a removable bin H. The bucket 3 carries a gripping system F, possibly in duplicate, of the baskets B. The bucket 3 pivots on a vertical journal 4 adjusted by a hydraulic actuator 5 articulated at a fixed point of the vehicle A.

Les corbeilles B sont alignées le long du quai S et peuvent notamment se trouver à l'arrière d'une bordure latérale 9 de celui-ci. Elles sont en forme de hotte à section rectangulaire et formées d'une ouverture supérieure, d'une face postérieure 6, d'une face antérieure 7 et de deux faces latérales 8.The baskets B are aligned along the quay S and may in particular be located behind a lateral border 9 thereof. They are in the form of a rectangular section hood and formed by an upper opening, a rear face 6, an anterior face 7 and two lateral faces 8.

Les corbeilles B sont assujetties à deux poteaux D verticaux encastrés dans le quai S par l'in­termédiaire de bras C articulés chacun à un poteau respectif D et à une face latérale 8 de la corbeille B à leurs extrémités opposées par des articulations 10 et 11.Baskets B are subject to two vertical posts D embedded in the quay S by means of arms C each articulated to a respective post D and to a side face 8 of basket B at their opposite ends by joints 10 and 11.

Les bras C sont avantageusement coudés : une partie du côté de l'articulation 10 au poteau D est verticale quand la corbeille B n'est pas soulevée et la partie complémentaire, proche de l'autre articu­lation 11, est alors sensiblement horizontale. Cette position apparaît en traits mixtes sur la figure 1, où la face postérieure 6 touche des appuis non repré­sentés qui maintiennent la corbeille B verticale. Comme on va le constater, les corbeilles B peuvent être soulevées de cette position et basculées par le système de préhension F pour prendre la position représentée en traits pleins. Elles sont alors éloignées des poteaux D et rapprochées du véhicule A.The arms C are advantageously bent: a part of the side of the articulation 10 at the post D is vertical when the basket B is not raised and the complementary part, close to the other articulation 11, is then substantially horizontal. This position appears in phantom in Figure 1, where the rear face 6 touches supports not shown which keep the basket B vertical. As will be seen, the baskets B can be lifted from this position and tilted by the gripping system F to take the position shown in solid lines. They are then moved away from the posts D and brought closer to the vehicle A.

Chaque système de préhension F est constitué (figure 3) d'une glissière verticale 20, dont les extrémités sont fixées à la paroi de la benne 3 par des supports 19, sur laquelle coulisse un premier bati 21 et qui est située contre la paroi latérale 22 du véhicule 1 orientée vers la corbeille 2.Each gripping system F consists (Figure 3) of a vertical slide 20, the ends of which are fixed to the wall of the bucket 3 by supports 19, on which slides a first frame 21 and which is located against the side wall 22 of the vehicle 1 oriented towards the basket 2.

Le premier bâti 21 est déplacé par un moteur 23 qui agit sur une vis sans fin 24. Il porte une glissière horizontale 25 et un deuxième moteur 26 qui agit sur une seconde vis sans fin 27 établie sur la glissière horizontale 25 pour déplacer un deuxième bâti 28.The first frame 21 is moved by a motor 23 which acts on an endless screw 24. It carries a horizontal slide 25 and a second motor 26 which acts on a second endless screw 27 established on the horizontal slide 25 to move a second frame 28.

Le deuxième bâti 28 porte un bras rectiligne 29 parallèle à la glissière horizontale 25 et qui peut dépasser latéralement du véhicule A pour se diri­ger vers la corbeille B. Le bras rectiligne 29 contient une transmission à chaîne 30, animée par un troisième moteur 31, qui agit sur un pignon 32 établi sur un pivot 33 d'axe longitudinal à l'extrémité du bras rectiligne 29. Un avant-bras pivotant 34, terminé à son extrémité éloignée du bras rectiligne 29 par une roue folle 35, est solidaire du pignon 32.The second frame 28 carries a rectilinear arm 29 parallel to the horizontal slide 25 and which can project laterally from the vehicle A to go towards the basket B. The rectilinear arm 29 contains a chain transmission 30, driven by a third motor 31, which acts on a pinion 32 established on a pivot 33 with a longitudinal axis at the end of the straight arm 29. A pivoting forearm 34, terminated at its end remote from the straight arm 29 by a idler 35, is integral with the pinion 32 .

Les mouvements des bras C et 29, de l'avant-­bras 34 et de la corbeille B s'effectuent approximati­vement dans un plan de débattement vertical correspon­dant au plan des figures 1 et 3.The movements of the arms C and 29, of the forearm 34 and of the basket B take place approximately in a vertical deflection plane corresponding to the plane of FIGS. 1 and 3.

Pour accomplir la collecte des déchets, le bras rectiligne 29 est avancé vers la corbeille B à l'aide du deuxième moteur 26 jusqu'à ce que son extrémité se glisse sous un appui latéral décrit plus loin, adjacent à une articulation 11, après quoi il est soulevé à l'aide du premier moteur 23. La corbeille B l'accompagne dans son ascension tout en se rapprochant du véhicule A grâce à la rotation des bras coudés C. Un asservissement relie les déplacements des premier et deuxième moteurs 23 et 26 pour replier progressivement le bras rectiligne 29.To accomplish the collection of waste, the straight arm 29 is advanced towards the basket B using the second motor 26 until its end slides under a lateral support described below, adjacent to a joint 11, after which it is raised using the first motor 23. The basket B accompanies it in its ascent while approaching the vehicle A thanks to the rotation of the bent arms C. A control links the movements of the first and second motors 23 and 26 to gradually fold the straight arm 29.

Dans le cas présent, où les corbeilles B sont assujetties par deux bras coudés C, on peut dou­bler le système de préhension F pour lever par les deux faces latérales 8.In the present case, where the baskets B are secured by two bent arms C, it is possible to double the gripping system F to lift by the two lateral faces 8.

La paroi de la benne 3 a pendant ce temps été ouverte en dégageant un couvercle 43 et une trappe 44 qui pivotent au moyen d'actionneurs hydrauliques respectifs 45 et 46 (figure 4) dont la tige de chacun fait tourner un levier 47 et 48. Les leviers 47 et 48 sont rigidement liés au couvercle 43 et à la trappe 44, et les actionneurs hydrauliques 45 et 46 sont montés pivotants sur des parties de support de la benne 3 au moyen d'articulations 36 et 37.The wall of the bucket 3 has meanwhile been opened by releasing a cover 43 and a hatch 44 which pivot by means of respective hydraulic actuators 45 and 46 (FIG. 4), the rod of each of which turns a lever 47 and 48. The levers 47 and 48 are rigidly connected to the cover 43 and to the hatch 44, and the hydraulic actuators 45 and 46 are pivotally mounted on support parts of the bucket 3 by means of articulations 36 and 37.

Le troisième moteur 31 est alors mis en action pour faire pivoter l'avant-bras 34 et faire basculer la corbeille B par appui de la roue folle 35 contre la face antérieure 7. L'ouverture de la corbeille B s'abaisse devant l'ouverture de la benne 3 dégagée par le couvercle 43 et la trappe 44. La corbeille B est alors renversée et les déchets qu'elle contient s'écoulent à l'intérieur de la benne 3 en glissant éventuellement le long de la paroi oblique de la trappe 44.The third motor 31 is then put into action to rotate the forearm 34 and tilt the basket B by pressing the idler wheel 35 against the front face 7. The opening of the basket B is lowered in front of the opening of the bucket 3 released by the cover 43 and the hatch 44. The basket B is then overturned and the waste which it contains flows inside the bucket 3, possibly sliding along the oblique wall of the hatch 44.

Le couvercle 43 contient un réservoir d'aéro­sol 70. Une buse 71 est commandée pour projeter du désinfectant ou du désodorisant dans la corbeille B après l'évacuation des déchets, lorsque son ouverture repasse devant la buse 71.The cover 43 contains an aerosol reservoir 70. A nozzle 71 is controlled to spray disinfectant or deodorant in basket B after the evacuation of the waste, when its opening passes in front of the nozzle 71.

Les déchets sont versés dans le compartiment de compactage E, qui est délimité par un battant 53 tournant autour d'un axe 54 longitudinal et disposé à mi-hauteur de la benne 3, des parois transversales, une paroi longitudinale circulaire 56 dont le centre de courbure correspond à l'axe 54, et enfin, au sommet, par un volet mobile 55 qui sépare le compartiment de compactage E du compartiment de stockage G. Le couvercle 43 et la trappe 44 sont munis de faces internes 57 et 58 incurvées qui prolongent la paroi circulaire 56 vers le haut jusqu'au volet 55. Le fond de cette paroi 56 est percé de trous 59 par lesquels les déchets liquides contenus dans les corbeilles B s'égouttent pour arriver dans un compartiment infé­rieur de récupération de liquides 60 muni d'un système, tel qu'une pompe ou un trou de vidange, pour l'évacuer périodiquement.The waste is poured into the compacting compartment E, which is delimited by a flap 53 rotating around a longitudinal axis 54 and placed halfway up the bucket 3, transverse walls, a circular longitudinal wall 56 whose center curvature corresponds to the axis 54, and finally, at the top, by a movable flap 55 which separates the compaction compartment E from the storage compartment G. The cover 43 and the hatch 44 are provided with curved internal faces 57 and 58 which extend the circular wall 56 up to the flap 55. The bottom of this wall 56 is pierced with holes 59 through which the liquid waste contained in the baskets B drips to arrive in a lower compartment for recovering liquids 60 provided with '' a system, such as a pump or a drain hole, to evacuate it periodically.

Le traitement des déchets commence quand la corbeille B a été retirée et remise en place par la fermeture de la trappe 44 et du couvercle 43. Le compartiment de compactage E est alors clos. Un action­neur hydraulique de battant 64 fait basculer un levier 65 porteur d'un secteur denté 66 qui engrène avec un pignon 67 monté sur l'axe 54. Le battant 53 est mis en mouvement circulaire vers le haut et son rebord passe le long des parois circulaires 56, 57, 58 dont il n'est séparé que par un faible jeu, si bien que les déchets sont entraînés vers le volet 55 et finale­ment comprimés et écrasés entre lui et le battant 53. Une importante réduction de leur volume est obte­nue. Un actionneur hydraulique de volet 68 est alors mis en action pour faire basculer un levier 69 et escamoter le volet 55 vers le haut. Les deux comparti­ments E et G communiquent alors et l'achèvement de la rotation du battant 53 projette les déchets compac­tés dans la poubelle H au fond du compartiment de stockage G. Les actionneurs hydrauliques 64 et 68, comme les précédents, sont assujettis à des parties de bâti de la benne 3 par des articulations 38 et 39.The processing of the waste begins when the basket B has been removed and replaced by closing the hatch 44 and the cover 43. The compacting compartment E is then closed. A hydraulic leaf actuator 64 swings a lever 65 carrying a toothed sector 66 which meshes with a pinion 67 mounted on the axis 54. The leaf 53 is set in circular movement upwards and its rim passes along the walls circulars 56, 57, 58 from which it is only separated by a slight clearance, so that the waste is entrained towards the flap 55 and finally compressed and crushed between it and the leaf 53. A significant reduction in their volume is obtained. A hydraulic shutter actuator 68 is then actuated to tilt a lever 69 and retract the shutter 55 upwards. The two compartments E and G then communicate and the completion of the rotation of the flap 53 projects the compacted waste into the trash H at the bottom of the storage compartment G. The hydraulic actuators 64 and 68, like the previous ones, are subject to parts body of the bucket 3 by joints 38 and 39.

Le véhicule passe alors à la corbeille B suivante et répète les opérations. Quand la poubelle H est pleine, elle est retirée de la benne 3 et vidée.The vehicle then goes to the next bin B and repeats the operations. When bin H is full, it is removed from bucket 3 and emptied.

La fixation particulière de ces corbeilles B a conduit à l'élaboration d'un système de verrouillage qui empêche de les retourner par malveillance et qui va être décrit à l'aide des figures 5 à 7. Ce système comprend un loquet 76 pivotant autour de l'axe 77 de l'articulation 11 du bras coudé C. Un galet 40 est articulé par un axe 41 à l'extrémité du loquet 76 opposée à l'axe 77. C'est ce galet 40 qui est touché par la surface supérieure 42, plane, du bras rectiligne 29, puis soulevé.The particular fixing of these baskets B has led to the development of a locking system which prevents them from being returned maliciously and which will be described with the aid of FIGS. 5 to 7. This system comprises a latch 76 pivoting around the axis 77 of the articulation 11 of the bent arm C. A roller 40 is articulated by an axis 41 at the end of the latch 76 opposite the axis 77. It is this roller 40 which is touched by the upper surface 42, flat, of the straight arm 29, then raised.

Un piton 79, perpendiculaire au plan de débattement, est alors dégagé d'une rainure 78 entaillant le bas du loquet 76 et dans laquelle il était retenu précédemment. Ce piton 79 est encastré dans un socle 80 fixé sur le quai S et qui recouvre latéralement le loquet 76 et les pièces voisines. Le socle 80 et la face latérale 8 de la corbeille B encadrent donc un étroit intervalle dans lequel le bras rectiligne 29 peut être glissé sans problème à cause de sa minceur. Par contre, il est difficile d'atteindre autrement le loquet 76 et le galet 40 pour débloquer la corbeille B, ce qui exclut en pra­tique les manipulations malveillantes.A peg 79, perpendicular to the plane of movement, is then released from a groove 78 cutting the bottom of the latch 76 and in which it was previously retained. This piton 79 is embedded in a base 80 fixed on the platform S and which laterally covers the latch 76 and the neighboring parts. The base 80 and the side face 8 of the basket B therefore frame a narrow gap in which the straight arm 29 can be slid without problem because of its thinness. On the other hand, it is difficult to otherwise reach the latch 76 and the roller 40 to unlock the basket B, which in practice excludes malicious manipulation.

Un ressort 81 tendu entre le loquet 76 et le bras coudé C ramène celui-là en position de ver­rouillage. Une tige 82 de déverrouillage manuel à section carrée, coaxiale à l'axe 77, dépasse d'un créneau supérieur 83 établi sur le socle 80. L'engage­ment d'un outil à douille sur la tige 82 permet de faire basculer le loquet 76 pour un déblocage manuel de la corbeille B.A spring 81 stretched between the latch 76 and the bent arm C returns the latter to the locked position. A rod 82 for manual unlocking with a square section, coaxial with the axis 77, protrudes from an upper slot 83 established on the base 80. The engagement of a socket tool on the rod 82 makes it possible to tilt the latch 76 for manual unlocking of basket B.

Le positionnement correct du véhicule A devant la corbeille B est défini par des capteurs optiques à champ transversal fixés sur le véhicule A et qui repèrent la position de la corbeille B ou de repères fixes tels que des graduations.The correct positioning of vehicle A in front of basket B is defined by transverse field optical sensors fixed on vehicle A and which mark the position of basket B or fixed marks such as graduations.

La réalisation des corbeilles B représentée, notamment sur la figure 7, est symétrique et utilise deux bras coudés C et deux systèmes de verrouillage. Il est donc nécessaire de prévoir soit deux systèmes de préhension F entièrement séparés mais commandés concurremment, soit un système de préhension unique F où le bras rectiligne 29 est remplacé par une fourche se divisant du côté des corbeilles B en deux branches qui viennent l'encadrer.The embodiment of the baskets B shown, in particular in FIG. 7, is symmetrical and uses two bent arms C and two locking systems. It is therefore necessary to provide either two completely separate gripping systems F but controlled concurrently, or a single gripping system F where the straight arm 29 is replaced by a fork dividing on the side of the baskets B into two branches which come to frame it .

On peut évidemment n'utiliser qu'un seul système de verrouillage. Le second système de préhen­sion F est alors facultatif.It is obviously possible to use only one locking system. The second gripping system F is then optional.

Des erreurs de position angulaire du véhicule A peuvent être corrigées en faisant tourner la benne 3 et les systèmes de préhension F grâce au tourillon 4.Errors in the angular position of the vehicle A can be corrected by rotating the bucket 3 and the gripping systems F by means of the pin 4.

Dans toutes ces variantes de réalisation, une automatisation presque parfaite de la collecte est réalisée puisque toutes les opérations sont accomplies par le conducteur du véhicule A depuis la cabine 2.In all these variant embodiments, almost perfect automation of the collection is carried out since all the operations are carried out by the driver of vehicle A from cabin 2.
