Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sammelbehälter für Abfälle, vorzugsweise für wiederverwertbare Abfälle, bestehend aus einer Behälterwanne, an die ein diesen verschließender Deckel angelenkt ist, der zwischen einer Verschluß- und einer Öffnungsstellung verschwenkbar ist.The invention relates to a collecting container for waste, preferably for recyclable waste, consisting of a container trough to which a lid is hinged, which can be pivoted between a closed and an open position.

Großvolumige Sammelbehälter dieser Art weisen den Nachteil auf, daß sie mit großen schwer betätigbaren Deckeln versehen sind, die von älteren oder schwächeren Personen nur sehr mühsam geöffnet werden können.Large-volume collection containers of this type have the disadvantage that they are provided with large lids which are difficult to operate and which can only be opened with great difficulty by older or weaker people.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen großvolumigen Sammelbehälter der eingangs angegebenen Art zu schaffen, der sich mühelos befüllen läßt.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a large-volume collection container of the type mentioned, which can be easily filled.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß der Sammelbehälter mit mindestens einer zusätzlichen Einfüllöffnung versehen ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the collecting container is provided with at least one additional filling opening.

Der erfindungsgemäße Sammelbehälter ist somit mit dem üblichen eine große Öffnung verschließenden Deckel versehen, der in üblicher Weise hauptsächlich nur noch zur Entleerung des Behälters in ein Müllsammelfahrzeug durch übliche Hub-Kippvorrichtungen geöffnet wird, wobei zum Heben und Verkippen des Behälters zum Zwecke des Entleerens die üblichen Aufnahmetaschen für Greifklauen an einem Behälterrand und/oder Tragzapfen und an dem Deckel der Deckelbetätigung dienende Zapfen oder Rollen vorgesehen sind. Erfindungsgemäß ist der Sammelbehälter mit mindestens einer zusätzlichen kleineren Öffnung versehen, die lediglich dem Befüllen des Sammelbehälters dient. Benutzer können durch diese kleinere Einfüllöffnung Abfälle einwerfen, ohne den schweren Deckel betätigen zu müssen, der die der Entleerung dienende Öffnung verschließt. Die zusätzliche kleinere dem Einwurf von Abfällen dienende Öffnung kann in einer die Behälterwanne verschließenden Deckplatte vorgesehen sein, die die Behälterwanne nur insoweit abdeckt, als diese durch den großen, der Entleerung dienenden Deckel nicht geschlossen ist.The collecting container according to the invention is thus provided with the usual lid closing a large opening, which is opened in the usual way mainly only for emptying the container into a refuse collection vehicle by means of conventional lifting and tipping devices, the usual ones for lifting and tilting the container for the purpose of emptying Receiving pockets for gripping claws are provided on a container edge and / or support spigot and on the cover serving for the actuation of the cover or casters. According to the invention, the collecting container is provided with at least one additional smaller opening, which is only used to fill the collecting container. Users can drop waste through this smaller fill opening without having to press the heavy lid that closes the opening for emptying. The additional, smaller opening for the insertion of waste can be provided in a cover plate which closes the container trough and which only covers the container trough insofar as it is not closed by the large cover used for emptying.

Die Erfindung läßt sich bei großvolumigen Sammelbehältern mit Klappdeckeln verwirklichen, mit besonderem Vorteil jedoch bei einem Sammelbehälter mit einem zylinderschalenförmigen Deckel, der an seinen stirnseitigen Enden mit radial nach innen weisenden Armen oder Schwertern versehen ist, die im Bereich der Krümmungsachse des Deckels schwenkbar an gegenüberliegenden Seiten der im wesentlichen rechteckigen Behälterwanne angelenkt sind. Bei derartigen in der Praxis in unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen verwandten und beispielsweise aus dem DE-GM 18 71 171 und der DE-OS 26 16 865 bekannten Sammelbehältern wird die Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Behälterwanne angrenzend an einen zu der Schwenkachse parallelen Rand mit einer Öffnung versehen ist, deren Länge der Breite oder Länge der im wesentlichen rechteckigen Behälterwanne entspricht und die durch eine zu dem Rand parallele Kante einer die Wannenöffnung im übrigen verschließenden Platte begrenzt ist, die sich im Bereich der Längsmittelebene der Wanne befindet, und daß die zusätzliche kleinere Öffnung in dieser Platte angeordnet ist. Die die der Entleerung dienende Öffnung begrenzende Kante ist dabei so ausgebildet, daß sie an der inneren gewölbten Wandung des Deckels anliegt, so daß im wesentlichen kein Spalt verbleibt.The invention can be implemented in large-volume collecting containers with hinged lids, but with particular advantage in a collecting container with a cylindrical shell-shaped lid, which is provided at its front ends with radially inwardly pointing arms or swords which can be pivoted in the region of the axis of curvature of the lid on opposite sides the substantially rectangular container pan are hinged. In such in practice related in different embodiments and known for example from DE-GM 18 71 171 and DE-OS 26 16 865, the object is achieved according to the invention in that the container trough adjacent to an edge parallel to the pivot axis with an opening is provided, the length of the width or length of the substantially corresponds to rectangular container trough and which is delimited by an edge parallel to the edge of a plate closing the trough opening, which is located in the region of the longitudinal median plane of the trough, and in that the additional smaller opening is arranged in this plate. The edge delimiting the opening serving for emptying is designed in such a way that it abuts the inner curved wall of the cover, so that essentially no gap remains.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist die Platte dachförmig schräg ansteigend mit dem dem Öffnungsrand gegenüberliegenden Rand der Behälterwanne verbunden. Die innere Kante der Platte liegt zweckmäßigerweise im Scheitelbereich der von dem Deckel beim Öffnen und Schließen überfahrenen kreisabschnittförmigen Kurve, so daß diese unmittelbar dichtend an der Innenwandung des zylinderschalenförmigen Deckels anliegt. Selbstverständlich können zusätzlich an der Kante noch Dichtungsstreifen vorgesehen werden.The plate is expediently connected to the edge of the container trough opposite the opening edge in a roof shape. The inner edge of the plate is expediently in the apex region of the circular segment-shaped curve run over by the lid when opening and closing, so that it lies directly sealing against the inner wall of the cylindrical shell-shaped lid. Of course, sealing strips can also be provided on the edge.

Der keilförmige seitliche Bereich zwischen der Platte und dem Wannenrand ist durch ein dreieckige Wandung geschlossen. Zweckmäßigerweise ist diese dreieckige Wandung ausgehend etwa von der Längsmittelebene der Wanne über die Breite der Öffnung durch eine Platte fortgesetzt, deren oberer Rand entsprechend der Wölbung des zylinderschalenförmigen Deckels gekrümmt ist.The wedge-shaped side area between the plate and the tub rim is closed by a triangular wall. This triangular wall is expediently continued starting from approximately the longitudinal center plane of the trough over the width of the opening by a plate, the upper edge of which is curved in accordance with the curvature of the cylindrical shell-shaped cover.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die mindestens eine zusätzliche Öffnung von einem hochstehenden Rand umgeben ist. Dieser umlaufende stegförmige Rand verhindert, daß bei der üblichen unüberdachten Aufstellung des Sammelbehälters Regen in die Öffnung hineinläuft.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the at least one additional opening is surrounded by a raised edge. This circumferential web-shaped edge prevents rain from running into the opening during the usual uncovered installation of the collecting container.

Die zusätzliche Öffnung kann durch einen Klappdeckel verschließbar sein, der sich dann wegen des kleinen Öffnungsquerschnitts der zusätzlichen Öffnung einfach und leicht betätigen läßt.The additional opening can be closed by a hinged lid, which is then due to the small opening cross section the additional opening can be operated simply and easily.

Der kleine Öffnungsquerschnitt der der Befüllung dienenden Öffnung oder Öffnungen hat zusätzlich den Vorteil, daß in den Sammelbehälter trotz seines großen Volumens nur kleinere Gegenstände eingeworfen werden, die beispielsweise für die vorgesehene Wiederverwertung geeignet sind. Die unerwünschte Befüllung mit sperrigeren Gegenständen ist daher ausgeschlossen.The small opening cross-section of the opening or openings used for filling has the additional advantage that, despite its large volume, only small objects are thrown into the collection container, which are suitable, for example, for the intended recycling. The unwanted filling with bulky objects is therefore excluded.

An dem Rand der großen Öffnung der Wanne können Aufnahmen für Greifklauen einer Hubkippvorrichtung vorgesehen sein.At the edge of the large opening of the tub, receptacles for gripping claws of a lifting and tilting device can be provided.

Der Vorteil, daß der Öffnungsquerschnitt der zusätzlichen Öffnung das Einwerfen sperrigerer Gegenstände verhindert, ginge verloren, wenn von den Benutzern zum Zwecke des Befüllens auch der große Deckel geöffnet werden könnte. Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung, für die selbständiger Schutz beansprucht wird, ist daher vorgesehen, daß der Deckel mit einer sich selbsttätig beim Kippen des Behälters um eine zu der Schwenkachse des Deckels parallelen Schwenkachse lösenden Verriegelung vorgesehen ist. Durch diese Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, daß der Deckel nur im Falle des Entleerens des Sammelbehälters geöffnet werden kann und nicht auch unbefugt durch Benutzer.The advantage that the opening cross section of the additional opening prevents the insertion of bulky objects would be lost if the large lid could also be opened by the users for the purpose of filling. According to an advantageous embodiment, for which independent protection is claimed, it is therefore provided that the cover is provided with a locking mechanism which automatically releases when the container is tilted about a pivot axis which is parallel to the pivot axis of the cover. This configuration provides that the lid can only be opened when the collecting container is emptied and not also by unauthorized users.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Verriegelung aus einem an mindestens einer Behälterwandung um eine zu der Schwenkachse parallelen Achse schwenkbaren Schwerkraftpendel besteht, das mit einem hakenförmigen Fortsatz versehen ist, der in der Verschlußstellung hinter eine an einem Schwenkarm befindlichen Verriegelungsbolzen greift. Durch das Verschwenken beim Entleeren bewegt sich dann das Schwerkraftpendel in eine den Deckel entriegelnde Stellung.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the lock consists of a gravity pendulum which can be pivoted on at least one container wall about an axis parallel to the pivot axis and which is provided with a hook-shaped extension which, in the closed position, engages behind a locking bolt located on a pivot arm. By pivoting when emptying, the gravity pendulum then moves into a position unlocking the lid.

Zweckmäßigerweise befindet sich in der Verschlußstellung der Verriegelungsbolzen mit der Schwenkachse des Pendels etwa in derselben horizontalen Querachse der Behälterwandung. Diese Ausgestaltung stellt sicher, daß sich der Deckel des auf einem ebenen Untergrund stehenden Behälters auch mit großer Kraft nicht öffnen läßt.Advantageously, the locking bolt with the pivot axis of the pendulum is located approximately in the same horizontal transverse axis of the container wall in the closed position. This configuration ensures that the lid of the container standing on a flat surface cannot be opened even with great force.

Um größere Beschädigungen des Behälters zu verhindern, wenn das Pendel den Verriegelungsbolzen beim Verkippen nicht freigeben sollte, ist der Verriegelungsbolzen zweckmäßigerweise mit einer Sollbruchstelle versehen.In order to prevent major damage to the container if the pendulum should not release the locking bolt when it is tilted, the locking bolt is expediently provided with a predetermined breaking point.

Nach einer weiteren besonderen vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung, für die ebenfalls selbständiger Schutz beansprucht wird, ist vorgesehen, daß an mindestens einer Wannenseite im Bereich der Schwenkachse ein Ende einer frei aufragenden Blattfeder befestigt ist, die zwischen zwei an dem Schwenkbarm angeordneten Widerlagern oder Bolzen greift, und daß die Blattfeder in der Verschlußstellung des Deckels in Richtung auf dessen Offenstellung und in dessen Offenstellung in entgegengesetzter Richtung gespannt ist. Die Blattfeder unterstützt somit das leichtere Öffnen und Verschließen des Deckels.According to a further particularly advantageous embodiment, for which independent protection is also claimed, it is provided that at least one side of the pan in the region of the pivot axis is attached to an end of a cantilever leaf spring which engages between two abutments or bolts arranged on the pivot arm, and that the leaf spring is tensioned in the closed position of the cover in the direction of its open position and in its open position in the opposite direction. The leaf spring thus supports easier opening and closing of the lid.

Zur einfachen Befestigung der Blattfeder kann deren unteres Ende teilweise um ein behälterfestes Rohrstück gerollt sein, das längs einer Mantellinie mit einem Schlitz versehen ist, in den ein abgewinkeltes Endstück der Blattfeder greift.For simple attachment of the leaf spring, its lower end can be partially rolled around a tube piece that is fixed to the container and that is provided along a surface line with a slot into which an angled end piece of the leaf spring engages.

Der erfindungsgemäße Sammelbehälter kann aus Kunststoff, vorzugsweise aber aus Blech bestehen.The collecting container according to the invention can consist of plastic, but preferably of sheet metal.

Der insgesamt mit 20 bezeichnete Behälter besteht aus einer Behälterwanne 1, die beispielsweise ein Volumen von 1,1 cbm aufweisen kann. Der obere Rand der Behälterwanne ist durch ein umlaufendes Profil 21 ausgesteift. An der Frontseite des Behälters 1 ist mit dem Behälterrand eine Schürze 5 verbunden, durch die eine übliche Aufnahme für die Greifklauen einer Hub-Kipp-Vorrichtung einer Schüttung eines Müllfahrzeugs gebildet ist.The container, designated as a whole by 20, consists of a container trough 1, which can have a volume of 1.1 cbm, for example. The upper edge of the container trough is stiffened by a circumferential profile 21. On the front of the container 1, an apron 5 is connected to the container edge, through which a conventional receptacle for the gripping claws of a lifting and tilting device of a dump of a refuse collection vehicle is formed.

Angrenzend an den mit der Schürze 5 versehenen Rand der Behälterwanne 1 ist diese mit einer Öffnung versehen, die sich in Draufsicht fast über die Hälfte des Wannenquerschnitts erstreckt, die durch das Randprofil 21 eingefaßt ist. Diese Öffnung wird durch den zylinderschalenförmig gewölbten Deckel 4 verschlossen, der an seinen stirnförmigen gekrümmten Rändern mit Schwertern oder Schwenkarmen 2 verbunden ist, die um miteinander fluchtende Achszapfen 3 schwenkbar gelagert sind, die an gegenüberliegenden Behälterwandungen vorgesehen sind. An den oberen Enden der sektorförmigen Schwenkarme 2 sind auf Bolzen gelagerte Rollen 6,6' vorgesehen, die beim Verschwenken des Behälters durch die Hub-Kipp-Vorrichtung eines Müllfahrzeugs auf der Öffnung des Deckels dienenden Widerlagern oder Schienen ablaufen.Adjacent to the edge of the container trough 1 provided with the apron 5, this is provided with an opening which extends in plan view almost over half of the trough cross-section which is bordered by the edge profile 21. This opening is closed by the cylindrical shell-shaped lid 4, which is connected at its end-shaped curved edges with swords or swivel arms 2, which are pivotally mounted about aligned axles 3, which are provided on opposite container walls. At the upper ends of the sector-shaped swivel arms 2, rollers 6, 6 'are provided, which run when the container is pivoted through the lifting and tilting device of a refuse collection vehicle on the opening of the cover serving abutments or rails.

Die Behälterwanne 1 ist auf ihrer der duch den Deckel 4 verschließbaren Öffnung gegenüberliegenden Seite durch eine dachartig schräg angeordnete Platte geschlossen. Zwischen den seitlichen Rändern der Platte 7 und dem umlaufenden Wannenrand 1 sind dreieckige Platten 9 angeordnet, die die entsprechenden Spalte schließen.The container trough 1 is closed on its side opposite the opening that can be closed by the lid 4 by a roof-like sloping plate. Triangular plates 9, which close the corresponding gaps, are arranged between the lateral edges of the plate 7 and the peripheral tub edge 1.

Die Platte 7 ist mit zwei kleineren rechteckigen Einfüllöffnungen 8,8' versehen, wobei der Öffnungsrand dieser Öffnungen durch einen aufragenden umlaufenden Steg begrenzt ist. Die Einwurföffnungen 8,8' sind durch Klappdeckel 13,13' verschließbar, die um die oberen Öffnungsränder schwenkbar gelagert sind.The plate 7 is provided with two smaller rectangular filling openings 8, 8 ', the opening edge of these openings being delimited by an upstanding circumferential web. The insertion openings 8, 8 'can be closed by hinged covers 13, 13', which are pivotably mounted around the upper opening edges.

Anschließend an die dreieckigen den Wannenrand erhöhenden Platten 9 sind Platten 22 angeordnet, die die durch den Deckel 4 verschließbare Öffnung an gegenüberliegenden Seiten begrenzen und deren oberen Ränder entsprechend der Wölbung des Deckels 4 gekrümmt sind.Adjacent to the triangular plates 9 which raise the tub edge, plates 22 are arranged which limit the opening which can be closed by the cover 4 on opposite sides and whose upper edges are curved in accordance with the curvature of the cover 4.

Wie aus den Fig. 2 und 3 ersichtlich ist, sind an der Innenseite der den Deckel 4 tragenden Schwenkarme 2 nach innen weisende Bolzen 10 angeordnet, die in der Verschlußstellung des Deckels in einer hakenförmigen Ausnehmung eines hakenförmigen Fortsatzes 23 eines Schwerkraftpendels 11 liegen. Dieses Schwerkraftpendel 11 ist um einen Zapfen 12 schwenkbar gelagert, der sich am oberen Randbereich der Behälterwandung befindet. Das Schwerkraftpendel 11 ist insgesamt durch den schwertförmigen Schwenkarm 2 in der Verschlußstellung des Deckels 4 abgedeckt, so daß es in unbefugter Weise durch den Benutzer nicht verschwenkt werden kann.As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, on the inside of the swivel arms 2 carrying the cover 4, inwardly pointing bolts 10 are arranged, which in the closed position of the cover lie in a hook-shaped recess of a hook-shaped extension 23 of a gravity pendulum 11. This gravity pendulum 11 is pivotally mounted about a pin 12 which is located on the upper edge region of the container wall. The gravity pendulum 11 is covered by the sword-shaped swivel arm 2 in the closed position of the lid 4, so that it can not be pivoted by the user in an unauthorized manner.

In Fig. 3 ist der den Deckel verriegelnde Bolzen in einer ausgerückten Stellung 10 und in seiner verriegelnden Stellung 10' dargestellt.In Fig. 3 the bolt locking the lid is disengaged Position 10 and shown in its locking position 10 '.

Der Verriegelungsbolzen 10 kann ein- oder beidseitig angeordnet werden. Er ist vorzugsweise mit einer Sollbruchstelle versehen, so daß sich der Bolzen abscheren läßt, falls das Pendel in Folge einer Beschädigung oder Blockierung nicht freigängig sein sollte.The locking bolt 10 can be arranged on one or both sides. It is preferably provided with a predetermined breaking point so that the bolt can be sheared off if the pendulum should not be able to move freely as a result of damage or blocking.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 4 ist auf ein im Bereich der Schwenkachse 3 an der Wandung des Behälters 1 befestigtes Rohrstück 16 eine frei aufragende Blattfeder 14 befestigt. Die Blattfeder 14 ist zu ihrer Befestigung um einen Teil des Rohrstücks 16 eingerollt und greift mit einem abgewinkelten Endstück 15 in einen Schlitz des Rohrstücks.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 4, a freely projecting leaf spring 14 is fastened to a piece of pipe 16 fastened to the wall of the container 1 in the region of the pivot axis 3. The leaf spring 14 is rolled for fastening around a part of the pipe section 16 and engages with an angled end piece 15 in a slot of the pipe section.

Die aufragende Blattfeder 14 ist zwischen zwei an der Innenseite des Schwenkarms 2 befestigte Bolzen 17,18 hindurchgeführt. Dabei ist die Blattfeder derart angeordnet, daß sie den Deckel in der Verschlußstellung in Richtung auf seine Öffnungsstellung und in der Öffnungsstellung in Richtung auf seine Verschlußstellung beaufschlagt. Durch die Blattfeder, die ein- oder beidseitig angeordnet werden kann, ist daher gewährleistet, daß sich der Deckel zum Zwecke des Entleerens leichter öffnen und anschließend auch wieder leichter schließen läßt.The protruding leaf spring 14 is passed between two bolts 17, 18 fastened on the inside of the swivel arm 2. The leaf spring is arranged such that it acts on the cover in the closed position in the direction of its open position and in the open position in the direction of its closed position. The leaf spring, which can be arranged on one or both sides, therefore ensures that the lid can be opened more easily for the purpose of emptying and then can also be closed again more easily.
