Definitions

  • the invention relates to a collecting container for compostable waste with a container closed on its top by a pivotable lid.
  • a problem that arises when collecting compostable waste is the development of odors due to insufficient oxygen supply (anaerobic composting), water formation in the containers and contamination by other waste such as plastic, glass, etc.
  • the attempt to compost itself in the collection containers generally fails due to the poor living conditions for the microorganisms that cause the composting.
  • the collection cycle for such containers is usually fortnightly, i.e. the container is filled and then emptied over the course of 14 days. This means that the bottom of the container is initially covered and is continuously built on.
  • a sieve insert in the form of a basket can be inserted into the waste container at a distance from its walls, the walls of the container at least are partially provided with ventilation openings.
  • a collecting container is relatively complex, with additional measures also having to be provided on the collecting wagons collecting the compostable waste, in particular for emptying the sieve insert which can be removed from the waste container. Since the sieve insert holding the waste is located at a distance from the side walls of the waste container, there is also no possibility of direct inspection of the contents of the container, so that when waste is thrown in there is no physiological obstacle to throwing in non-compostable waste, e.g. plastic waste, together with compostable waste .
  • the invention has for its object to provide a collecting container with the features specified above, in which the above-mentioned disadvantages do not occur and are always adequate Ventilation of the container interior is ensured.
  • this object is achieved in that only the side walls of the container lying perpendicular to the pivot axis of the cover are provided with air passage openings.
  • Moist air rising through the central opening of the insert plate relaxes after passing through this opening and condenses on the top of the insert plate, so that the condensed condensation water also runs inward following the inclination of the insert plate and then drips back into the container.
  • additional air passage openings are provided in the side walls of the attachment, so that in addition to the transverse ventilation, the container can also be aerated in the vertical direction.
  • the air passage openings are expediently not arranged on the front and on the rear of the container, since the bulk of the collecting container is loaded there by the bed. It is therefore expedient to arrange the wall sections provided with air passage openings in the parts of the walls of the container which are essentially perpendicular to the pivot axis of the cover, that is to say the parts lying to the side. In the case of a collecting container of known design with an essentially rectangular cross section, these are the two side walls of the container.
  • the air passage openings can be designed as holes made directly in the walls when the container is sprayed. But it is also possible to ver the walls of the container with cutouts see in which perforated insert parts, for example perforated metal sheets, are arranged.
  • the density and the diameter of the air passage openings are chosen so that the strength of the collecting container is not impaired.
  • the simplest form of an air passage opening is a hole with a round cross section.
  • the air passage openings are honeycomb-shaped, i.e. have a hexagonal cross-section, because if the holes are correctly dimensioned, the holes are cross-linked in the rain and have greater strength with the same cross-section.
  • the hexagonal honeycomb openings preferably have an internal dimension (distance between opposite sides) of 5 to 6 mm.
  • Another advantage of providing the air passage openings in the side walls of the container is that there is a good view of the contents. This gives the psychological effect that the users feel controlled by the clear view of the contents of the container and the contents are less contaminated.
  • the collecting container shown has a container 1 with an essentially rectangular cross section with a front wall 1.1, two side walls 1.2 and 1.3 and a rear wall 1.4 as well as a base 3 and a cover 2 which can be pivoted about a horizontal axis 2.1 and closes the opening at the top.
  • Cutouts are arranged in the two opposite side walls 1.2 and 1.3, into each of which plates 5 are inserted, which have a perforation 6 consisting of a plurality of air passage openings.
  • the holes can have an essentially honeycomb-shaped cross section.
  • the container can be made of plastic or metal and the insert 5 can be screwed, riveted or welded to the container walls.
  • the cutout and thus the insert 5 extends in the illustrated embodiment over a height that begins approximately at 1/3 of the total height and extends to immediately below the upper edge of the container.
  • a height that begins approximately at 1/3 of the total height and extends to immediately below the upper edge of the container.
  • FIG. 3 shows a variant of the collecting container shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the parts in FIG. 3 which correspond to analog parts in FIGS. 1 and 2 are identified by the same reference number with the addition of an index line.
  • the perforation 6' is made directly in the material of the side walls during the spraying process or punched after the spraying process.
  • the perforation 6 ' can be formed in the same way as the perforation 6 of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • Both embodiments have wheels 4 and 4 'on their underside, in order to enable easier removal of the collecting container.
  • the container lid 2 shown in FIG. 4 has in its central region an upward-facing hood-shaped attachment 2.4, in the upward-facing side walls of which additional air passage openings 7 are arranged.
  • the insert plate 2.2 is provided with a central opening 2.3, so that air rising in the direction of the arrows b can exit through the air outlet openings 7.
  • the cross section of the central opening 2.3 is preferably smaller than the peripheral surface of an ideal cylinder adjoining this central opening 2.3 upwards between the insert plate 2.3 and the top of the cover.
  • the arrows c indicate that condensation water settling on the top of the insert plate 2.2 also flows back in the direction of the center of the container.
