Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pressing device for waste, in particular for compressible garbage, which has a plunger with a press plate in the lower region of a receiving space for the garbage in the device housing, which is arranged to be horizontally displaceable and conveys the garbage into a container adjoining the receiving space and compresses it there .
  • a press device is shown in NL-C-124280.
  • the mechanically movable covers of the known arrangements have the disadvantage that on the one hand they are susceptible to faults and on the other hand they are susceptible to wear, so that the service life of such a device is short.
  • Another disadvantage is that the known covers block a larger portion of the receiving space, so that the throughput in the known machines is relatively low.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to design a device of the type mentioned so that a safe and wear-resistant cover is guaranteed, the space used for this should be as small as possible.
  • the receiving space is filled continuously, with a plunger rotatable about a horizontal axis being mounted on the plunger, which has an acute-angled edge facing away from the press plate under the garbage in the receiving space on the return stroke, and wherein the vane at the end of the Return strokes with the acute-angled edge can be folded upward about their axis, so that the garbage under the scoop is conveyed in front of the press platen of the plunger.
  • the receiving space located behind the press plate of the plunger is not in the arrangement according to the invention noticeably constricted because the blade takes up relatively little space in the receiving space due to the folding over during the conveying process. Due to the acute-angled configuration of the blade edge, practically the entire space between the acute-angled edge of the blade and the rear end wall of the plunger is available as a receiving space.
  • the blade can expediently have two cheeks which cross the plunger from the outside and which have a triangular shape.
  • the blade is advantageously mounted in the area of one of the corners of the cheeks, which are offset toward the container against the plunger.
  • these corners having the bearing can have a relatively small distance from the bottom of the device in order to facilitate the folding process, i.e. perform with little power.
  • the acute-angled edge is itself used for the folding process.
  • This can be brought about by a corresponding design of the rear wall of the receiving space facing away from the container by a partially circular design in cross-section and / or a polygonal shape of the rear wall on which the acute-angled edge of the blade comes to rest during the return stroke and is thus rotated about its axis.
  • Such an arrangement has the particular advantage that it does not require any additional components for the rotation of the blade, but rather only a corresponding configuration of the rear wall of the receiving space.
  • the plunger expediently has on its top a partially circular cover in cross section, the radius of which by Distance to the horizontal axis of the blade is determined, and which adjoins the blade surface of the blade.
  • the part-circular cover can connect the two cheeks.
  • the device according to the invention is therefore excellently suitable for conveyance from a receiving space of any length.
  • the figure shows a schematic, perspective and partially broken-open representation of a device to which the invention is applied.
  • the pressing device consists of a housing 1, which has a receiving space 2, which is open to a level and can optionally be closed by a cover, and which is provided with an opening 3 which is open at the top and for receiving the garbage to be pressed.
  • a container 4 connects to the housing 1 of the pressing device, the side walls of which are designated by 5 and the upper end cover is designated by 6.
  • the container 4 is separated from the receiving space 2 by an end wall 7 and has one of the receiving space 2 facing and essentially in its lower region opening 8 through which a plunger 9 can pass.
  • the upper edge of the opening 8 is designed as a breaking edge, wherein, for example, a strong reinforcement 10 can be provided in the area of the upper edge of the opening 8 and can form it.
  • the lower surface of the reinforcement 10 is therefore only a relatively small distance from the upper edge 11 of a press shield 12 of the plunger 9, so that complete comminution is ensured.
  • the drive of the plunger 9 is designated 13 and shown schematically.
  • This drive can be formed mechanically from a toothed rack, a spindle or the like, but it is advantageous if this drive 13 is a hydraulic unit.
  • the drive 13 moves the plunger 9 in the direction of the double arrow 14 within the receiving space 2 and partly, as shown, within the initial area of the container 4.
  • the movement of the plunger 9 takes place analogously to the double arrow 14 in the direction of a further double arrow 15 above the floor 16 of the housing 1 of the receiving space 2.
  • the plunger 9 thus performs an essentially translational movement during the pressing process, with only at the end At the end of the return stroke, the blade attached to the plunger is folded down.
  • the arrangement according to the invention is thus essentially suitable for pressing devices of the type mentioned at the outset.
  • the plunger 9 has two stands 17 which carry the press plate 12 between them and are displaceable above the bottom 16 of the receiving space 2.
  • the plunger 9 thus formed is overlapped on both sides by cheeks 18 of a blade 19, the cheeks 18 holding between them a blade surface 20 of the blade 19 and a cover 21 which is partially circular in cross section.
  • the blade 19 is mounted on the uprights 17 with its cheeks 18 so as to be pivotable about an axis 22.
  • the bearings are each designated 23.
  • the cheeks have a triangular shape, the corner 24 facing the press plate 12 of the plunger 9, which has the bearing 23, being as close as possible to the bottom 16 of the receiving space 2 in order to tip the blade 19 with one as possible To enter angles under the garbage in the receiving room 2.
  • the edge 25 of the blade 19 facing away from the press shield 12 is, as shown, formed at an acute angle, this configuration contributing to the blade 19 being as light as possible of the garbage which may be located in the receiving space 2 can reach under during its return stroke.
  • the rear wall 26 of the receiving space 3 can be partially circular in cross-section or - which is particularly advantageous in sheet metal construction - as shown in cross-section, in the form of a polygon, so that there are buckling edges 25 to 29, which are also suitable, the acute-angled edge 25 of the Guide bucket 19 upward to bring about the flipping process.
  • the stands 17 have part-circular upper edges 30, the curvature of which corresponds to the curvature of the cover 21 and the part-circular curvature 31 of the cheeks 18.
  • the blade therefore moves upward in the direction of arrow 37 in the illustrated embodiment on a traverse path.
  • This movement becomes a purely partial circular path if, instead of the individual surfaces adjoining one another in the form of a polygon, the rear wall is actually provided with a partially circular curvature in cross section.
  • the garbage in the receiving space 2 is thus initially effortlessly conveyed along the bottom 16 to the rear wall and then lifted upward in accordance with the movement of the blade 19, so that it moves downward in the direction of arrow 38 from the blade surface 20 and thus over the curved surface Cover 21 is conveyed again before the press plate 12.
  • any additional covers can be omitted, so that the arrangement according to the invention manages with very few components, which are also arranged to be wear-resistant and enable a large throughput due to the use of the plunger movement during its forward and return stroke.
