Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de récupération et de tri sélectif de produits, notamment de produits liquides tels que de l'huile de vidange de moteur.The subject of the present invention is a device for the recovery and selective sorting of products, in particular of liquid products such as engine drain oil.

Elle trouvera son application lorsque l'on désire effectuer un tri sélectif et une récupération de produits liquides ou non, disposés à l'intérieur de contenants, tels que des bidons d'huile, réalisés dans différents types de matériaux.It will find its application when it is desired to carry out a selective sorting and recovery of liquid or non-liquid products, disposed inside containers, such as oil cans, produced in different types of materials.

La récupération de liquides, tels que l'huile de vidange de moteur, pose actuellement de nombreux problèmes. C'est ainsi qu'une première forme de récupération de ce type de produit consiste à déposer, dans des décharges ou dans des lieux destinés à cet effet, les contenants et les bidons à l'intérieur desquels est disposée une certaine quantité d'huile de vidange. Toutefois, un tel dépôt pose en pratique de nombreux problèmes car il est fréquent que le bidon ne soit pas correctement bouché, ce qui a pour conséquence de générer une fuite du liquide.The recovery of liquids, such as engine oil, currently poses many problems. Thus, a first form of recovery of this type of product consists in depositing, in landfills or in places intended for this purpose, the containers and cans inside which a certain amount of oil is placed. drain. However, such a deposit poses many problems in practice because it is frequent that the container is not properly sealed, which has the consequence of generating a leak of the liquid.

L'huile de vidange, ainsi écoulée, s'infiltre à l'intérieur du sol et se mélange à l'eau des nappes phréatiques.The drained oil, thus drained, infiltrates inside the soil and mixes with the water of the groundwater.

Une autre solution consiste à vidanger le contenu des bidons à l'intérieur des égouts ou dans des collecteurs qui débouchent dans des stations d'épuration ou dans des stations de retraitement des eaux usagées. Or, ces huiles de vidange sont très difficiles à retraiter.Another solution consists in emptying the contents of the cans inside the sewers or in collectors which lead to treatment plants or to waste water reprocessing stations. These drain oils are very difficult to reprocess.

Pour remédier à ces inconvénients, on a pensé à utiliser des conteneurs constitués par une cuve à l'intérieur de laquelle l'on déverse le bidon. De tels conteneurs présentent de nombreux inconvénients d'utilisation et notamment, l'usager, qui ne connait pas le niveau de remplissage de la cuve, a tendance à trop la remplir, de sorte qu'elle déborde.To overcome these drawbacks, it has been thought to use containers constituted by a tank inside which the container is poured out. Such containers have many drawbacks of use and in particular, the user, who does not know the filling level of the tank, tends to overfill it, so that it overflows.

Par ailleurs, le déversement et le transvasement de l'huile de vidange depuis le bidon à l'intérieur de ces contenants ne s'effectuent pas toujours de manière aisée et il en résulte qu'une partie de l'huile a tendance à goutter et s'écouler le long des parois du conteneur, en le souillant et en s'infiltrant ensuite à l'intérieur du sol.Furthermore, the discharge and transfer of the drain oil from the can inside these containers is not always easy and the result is that part of the oil tends to drip and flow along the walls of the container, soiling it and then seeping inside the soil.

Un autre inconvénient de ce type de dispositifs de récupération des huiles de vidange réside dans le fait que, souvent, ils ne comportent pas de réceptacle pour recevoir les bidons ou lorsque ceux-ci présentent de tels réceptacles, ils sont souvent d'une capacité inadaptée.Another drawback of this type of drain oil recovery device is that often they do not have a receptacle for receiving the cans or when the latter have such receptacles, they are often of unsuitable capacity. .

La présente invention a pour but de remédier aux inconvénients des dispositifs actuellement connus en fournissant un dispositif de récupération et de tri sélectif des produits, notamment de produits liquides tels que des huiles de vidange de moteur, d'un emploi aisé, d'une contenance adaptée et d'un aspect extérieur qui reste toujours propre.The object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of the devices currently known by providing a device for the recovery and selective sorting of products, in particular of liquid products such as engine drain oils, of easy use, of capacity. adapted and of an external aspect which always remains clean.

Un but de la présente invention réside dans le fait que ce dispositif est simple à mettre en place et qu'il peut être facilement déplacé en fonction des besoins.An object of the present invention lies in the fact that this device is simple to set up and that it can be easily moved as required.

Un autre but de la présente invention réside dans le fait que ce dispositif peut être disposé à n'importe quel endroit et qu'il peut s'adapter, en fonction de ses formes et de ses dimensions, à des applications spécifiques.Another object of the present invention lies in the fact that this device can be placed at any location and that it can adapt, depending on its shapes and dimensions, to specific applications.

Un autre avantage de la présente invention réside dans le fait qu'il est réalisé dans un matériau résistant aux chocs et aux contraintes et qu'il est de préférence constitué de deux parties amovibles, démontables, ce qui facilite le nettoyage.Another advantage of the present invention lies in the fact that it is made of a material resistant to impact and stresses and that it is preferably made of two removable, removable parts, which facilitates cleaning.

Un autre avantage du dispositif conforme à l'invention réside dans le fait qu'il comporte des moyens de contrôle du niveau de remplissage de la cuve, facilement visibles par l'utilisateur ou par le professionnel qui doit vidanger son contenu.Another advantage of the device according to the invention lies in the fact that it includes means for controlling the level of filling of the tank, easily visible by the user or by the professional who must empty its contents.

Un autre but de la présente invention réside dans le fait qu'il peut comporter des réceptacles de récupération des bidons adaptés en fonction des applications, notamment pour recevoir des bidons volumineux.Another object of the present invention lies in the fact that it may include receptacles for recovering cans adapted according to the applications, in particular for receiving large cans.

D'autres buts et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre qui n'est donnée qu'à titre indicatif et qui n'a pas pour but de la limiter.Other objects and advantages of the present invention will appear during the description which follows which is given for information only and which is not intended to limit it.

A cet effet, le dispositif de tri et de récupération sélectif des produits, notamment de produits liquides tels que des huiles de vidange de moteur, contenues dans des bidons, comprend une structure qui présente une cuve, destinée à recevoir le liquide, communiquant avec l'extérieur au moyen d'un orifice pour assurer la vidange des bidons et surmontant un bac de récupération des bidons, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comporte des moyens pour éviter de souiller et de salir la structure au cours des opérations de mise en place et de retrait des produits.To this end, the device for sorting and selective recovery of products, in particular products liquids such as engine oil draining, contained in cans, includes a structure which has a tank, intended to receive the liquid, communicating with the outside by means of an orifice to ensure the emptying of the cans and surmounting a tank container recovery, characterized by the fact that it includes means to avoid soiling and dirtying the structure during the operations of placing and removing the products.

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de tri et de récupération de produits notamment liquides, tels que de l'huile de vidange contenue dans des bidons.The present invention relates to a device for sorting and recovering products, especially liquids, such as drain oil contained in cans.

Elle trouvera son application dans tous les secteurs d'activité économique ou l'on doit récupérer et trier sélectivement des produits contenus à l'intérieur de contenants et plus particulièrement des produits liquides. Dans toute la description qui va suivre, le dispositif conforme à l'invention est destiné à être utilisé par des usagers et à être disposé sur la voie publique afin de leur permettre d'y vider des liquides, tels que des huiles de vidange de moteur, en vue de leur collecte et de leur recyclage ultérieur. Bien entendu, cette application n'est aucunement limitative et il est tout à fait envisageable d'avoir recours à un dispositif conforme à l'invention pour tout autre type d'applications à usage collectif ou non dans lequel il est nécessaire de trier et de récupérer sélectivement un produit liquide ou non placé à l'intérieur de contenants.It will find its application in all sectors of economic activity where it is necessary to selectively recover and sort products contained inside containers and more particularly liquid products. In all the description which follows, the device according to the invention is intended to be used by users and to be placed on public roads in order to allow them to empty liquids there, such as engine drain oils. , with a view to their collection and subsequent recycling. Of course, this application is in no way limiting and it is entirely conceivable to use a device according to the invention for any other type of application for collective or non-collective use in which it is necessary to sort and selectively recover a liquid product or not placed inside of containers.

En se référant à la figure 1, on voit un dispositif conforme à l'invention, constitué par une structure (1) ici de forme parallélépipédique surélevée de la surface du sol au moyen de deux pieds (2) disposés sensiblement dans le prolongement de chaque face latérale (3, 4) et qui délimitent avec la surface avant (5) un espace suffisant pour permettre le passage de moyens de préhension tels qu'un chariot à fourches, ce qui facilite la mise en place et le déplacement du dispositif.Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a device according to the invention, constituted by a structure (1) here of parallelepiped shape raised from the ground surface by means of two feet (2) arranged substantially in the extension of each lateral face (3, 4) and which delimit with the front surface (5) sufficient space to allow the passage of gripping means such as a forklift, which facilitates the installation and movement of the device.

La structure (1) est de préférence réalisée dans un matériau résistant aux contraintes mécaniques et aux chocs afin de pouvoir être utilisée dans des conditions difficiles.The structure (1) is preferably made of a material resistant to mechanical stress and impact so that it can be used in difficult conditions.

La structure (1) comporte deux parties, l'une constituant une cuve (6) destinée à recevoir le liquide et l'autre un bac de récupération (7) surmontant la cuve (6), destiné à recevoir les bidons vides. La cuve (6) et le bac de récupération (7) peuvent être dans une forme préférentielle de réalisation, amovibles l'un par rapport à l'autre, ce qui facilite le nettoyage respectif de chacun de ceux-ci.The structure (1) has two parts, one constituting a tank (6) intended to receive the liquid and the other a collecting tank (7) surmounting the tank (6), intended to receive the empty cans. The tank (6) and the recovery tank (7) can be in a preferred embodiment, removable with respect to each other, which facilitates the respective cleaning of each of these.

La structure (1) comporte un toit (8) surmontant la cuve (6) sur lequel est fixé un anneau d'élingage (9) destiné à permettre la manutention et le changement de place du dispositif. Une jauge (10) permettant le contrôle du niveau de liquide contenu à l'intérieur de la cuve (6) est également disposée sur le toit (8) dans une position permettant le contrôle et la vérification de l'état de remplissage de la cuve (6) à l'usager et/ou au professionnel qui doit vidanger son contenu, sans être obligé de descendre de son véhicule.The structure (1) comprises a roof (8) surmounting the tank (6) on which is fixed a sling ring (9) intended to allow the handling and the change of place of the device. A gauge (10) allowing the control of the level of liquid contained inside the tank (6) is also arranged on the roof (8) in a position allowing the control and the verification of the filling state of the tank. (6) the user and / or the professional who must empty its contents, without being obliged to get out of their vehicle.

La face avant (5) présente une ouverture (11) qui s'étend sur toute la largeur de celle-ci, selon une hauteur variable en fonction des applications, et qui est destinée à permettre la mise en place des bidons vides à l'intérieur du bac de récupération (7). Sous cette ouverture (11) est disposée une porte (12) montée mobile articulée autour d'un axe de rotation (13) lui permettant de pivoter entre une position fermée dans laquelle elle obture le bac de récupération (7) et une position ouverte dans laquelle elle autorise le retrait des bidons contenus à l'intérieur de celui-ci lorsqu'il est plein.The front face (5) has an opening (11) which extends over the entire width thereof, according to a height which varies according to the applications, and which is intended to allow the placement of empty cans at the inside of the recovery tank (7). Under this opening (11) is disposed a movable door (12) articulated articulated around an axis of rotation (13) allowing it to pivot between a closed position in which it closes the recovery tank (7) and an open position in which she authorizes the removal of the cans contained therein when it is full.

Afin d'éviter tout accès non désiré à l'intérieur du bac de récupération (7) des bidons, l'ouverture de la porte (12) s'effectue après le déverrouillage de serrures (14) au moyen d'une clé.In order to avoid any unwanted access to the interior of the recovery tank (7) of the cans, the door (12) is opened after unlocking the locks (14) by means of a key.

Le dispositif conforme à l'invention comprend des moyens pour éviter de salir et de souiller la structure (1) au cours des opérations de déversement de l'huile et de retrait des bidons vides. Ces moyens sont constitués par un flotteur (16) qui coopère avec un verrou de fermeture (17) articulé autour d'un axe (18) qui est fixé sous le receveur de liquides (19).The device according to the invention comprises means for avoiding soiling and soiling the structure (1) during the operations of pouring oil and removing empty cans. These means consist of a float (16) which cooperates with a closing bolt (17) articulated around an axis (18) which is fixed under the receiver of liquids (19).

Le receveur (19) est obstrué par un volet anti-pluie (23).The receiver (19) is obstructed by a rain shutter (23).

Le volet anti-pluie (23) est levé en position pointillée pour déverser l'huile dans le receveur (19). Quand l'opération est terminée, on referme le volet anti-pluie (23) qui est articulé en (13).The rain flap (23) is lifted in the dotted position to pour the oil into the receiver (19). When the operation is complete, the rain shutter (23) which is articulated at (13) is closed.

Sous le volet anti-pluie (23) se trouve une poignée (24) et c'est le verrou (17) qui condamne cette poignée quand le flotteur (16) monte, en interdisant l'accès, donc l'utilisation du conteneur dans un but d'éviter les débordements dus au trop-plein.Under the rain shutter (23) is a handle (24) and it is the latch (17) which condemns this handle when the float (16) rises, preventing access, therefore the use of the container in a goal to avoid overflows due to overflow.

L'accès aux bidons vides (7) est condamné par une trappe (15) représentée en traits pleins à la figure 4. Quand on l'ouvre, on déverrouille et on bascule ladite trappe (15) en position représentée en pointillés.Access to empty cans (7) is blocked by a hatch (15) shown in solid lines in FIG. 4. When it is opened, the hatch (15) is unlocked and tilted in the position shown in dotted lines.

On retire les bidons devenus accessibles et cette trappe est pourvue d'une bordure recourbée (20), ménageant un logement (21), qui permet de récupérer les égouttures venant des bidons que l'on est en train de retirer.The cans that have become accessible are removed and this hatch is provided with a curved edge (20), providing a housing (21), which makes it possible to recover the drips coming from the cans that are being removed.

L'huile récupérée dans la zone (20) recoulera sur la face interne de la trappe quand celle-ci sera relevée. Le bas de la trappe (15) a un bord tombé (27) qui évite que l'huile ne se concentre sur la charnière (13).The oil recovered in the zone (20) will flow back onto the internal face of the hatch when it is raised. The bottom of the hatch (15) has a dropped edge (27) which prevents the oil from concentrating on the hinge (13).

Par ailleurs, le dispositif comporte également, pour éviter des coulures non désirées du liquide, une fente transversale (22), ménagée sur la face avant (5) sur la structure, qui débouche en regard de l'intérieur de la cuve (6).In addition, the device also includes, in order to avoid unwanted liquid leakage, a transverse slot (22), formed on the front face (5) on the structure, which opens facing the inside of the tank (6).

Un volet de protection anti-pluie (23) est monté articulé sur l'axe (13) de la porte afin d'éviter l'introduction non désirée d'eau à l'intérieur de la cuve de liquide (6). Il comporte une poignée intérieure (24) destinée à permettre la mise en place, dans une position fermée, du volet anti-pluie. Par ailleurs, cette poignée intérieure (24) sert à condamner le receveur de liquides (19) en coopérant avec le verrou (17) afin d'interdire l'utilisation et la mise en place de liquide à l'intérieur de la cuve (6) lorsque celle-ci est pleine et que le flotteur (16) se trouve dans une position haute.A rain protection flap (23) is hingedly mounted on the axis (13) of the door in order to avoid the unwanted introduction of water inside the liquid tank (6). It has an interior handle (24) intended to allow the installation, in a closed position, of the rain shutter. Furthermore, this interior handle (24) is used to lock the liquid receiver (19) by cooperating with the latch (17) in order to prohibit the use and the placing of liquid inside the tank (6 ) when the latter is full and the float (16) is in a high position.

En effet, sous l'action de la montée du liquide, le flotteur (16) se lève et remonte jusque dans une position dans laquelle il fait pivoter le verrou de fermeture (17) qui s'enclenche dans la poignée (24) du volet anti-pluie (23), ce qui interdit toute possibilité de mise en place et d'introduction de liquides à l'intérieur de la cuve et donc le débordement susceptible de générer un salissement et une dégradation de la structure (1) par coulure extérieure sur celle-ci.Indeed, under the action of the rise of the liquid, the float (16) rises and goes back up to a position in which it pivots the closing bolt (17) which engages in the handle (24) of the shutter anti-rain (23), which prohibits any possibility of placing and introducing liquids inside the tank and therefore the overflow liable to generate dirt and degradation of the structure (1) by external dripping on this one.

Des moyens de vidange et de pompage (25) constitués par un tuyau dont l'une des extrémités débouche dans le fond de la cuve (6) et dont l'autre extrémité, munie d'un raccord de pompage (26), débouche dans le bac de récupération des bidons vides (7), sont prévus afin de permettre la vidange du liquide contenu à l'intérieur de la cuve (6) lorsque celle-ci est pleine.Draining and pumping means (25) consisting of a pipe, one end of which opens into the bottom of the tank (6) and the other end of which, provided with a pumping connection (26), opens into the recovery tank for empty cans (7) are provided to allow the liquid contained inside the tank (6) to be emptied when the latter is full.

Sous l'action de la baisse de niveau du liquide contenu à l'intérieur de la cuve (6), le flotteur (16) se rabaisse et ainsi, le verrou de fermeture (17) se désolidarise de la poignée (24) du volet anti-pluie (23) de sorte que le récepteur d'huile (19) est de nouveau accessible, ce qui permet à l'utilisateur de pouvoir de nouveau vidanger le liquide contenu dans le bidon à l'intérieur de la cuve pour liquides (6). Au cours de cette opération de vidange de l'intérieur de la cuve (6), les éventuelles coulures extérieures résultant de cette opération et de la mauvaise manipulation de l'usager, sont canalisées par la rigole transversale (22) et s'écoulent par capillarité à l'intérieur de la cuve (6), de sorte que la face avant (5) de la structure (1) reste toujours propre.Under the action of the drop in level of the liquid contained inside the tank (6), the float (16) is lowered and thus, the closing latch (17) is detached from the handle (24) of the flap rain-proof (23) so that the oil receiver (19) is again accessible, which allows the user to be able to drain the liquid contained in the container again inside the tank for liquids ( 6). During this emptying operation of the interior of the tank (6), any external sagging resulting from this operation and improper handling by the user, are channeled by the transverse channel (22) and flow by capillary action inside the tank (6), so that the front face (5) of the structure (1 ) always stays clean.

Lors du retrait des bidons contenus dans le bac de récupération (7), il est possible qu'une quantité de liquide encore contenue à l'intérieur de ceux-ci s'échappe. Selon l'invention, ce liquide résiduel est canalisé dans le logement (21) de sorte qu'au moment de la fermeture de la porte (12) après le retrait de l'ensemble des bidons contenus dans le bac de récupération (7), ce liquide s'écoule à l'intérieur de la cuve pour liquides (6), ce qui évite qu'il coule à l'extérieur sur la face avant (5).When removing the cans contained in the recovery tank (7), it is possible that a quantity of liquid still contained inside them escapes. According to the invention, this residual liquid is channeled into the housing (21) so that when the door (12) is closed after removing all of the cans contained in the recovery tank (7), this liquid flows inside the tank for liquids (6), which prevents it from flowing outside on the front face (5).

Il faut également noter que le dispositif conforme à l'invention est conçu de manière à ce que la cloison séparant la cuve pour liquides (6) et le bac de récupération (7) la surmontant présente des orifices permettant l'écoulement à l'intérieur de la cuve pour liquides (6) d'éventuelles quantités de liquide résiduel qui n'auraient pas été totalement déversées à l'intérieur de la cuve pour liquides (6) au cours de l'opération de vidange du bidon.It should also be noted that the device according to the invention is designed so that the partition separating the tank for liquids (6) and the recovery tank (7) surmounting it has orifices allowing the flow inside. from the liquid tank (6) any quantities of residual liquid which have not been completely spilled inside the liquid tank (6) during the emptying operation of the container.

Bien entendu, d'autres mises en oeuvre de la présente invention auraient pu être envisagées sans pour autant sortir du cadre de celle-ci. C'est ainsi qu'il est tout à fait envisageable de réaliser un dispositif conforme à l'invention, qui présente des formes et des dimensions autres que parallélépipédique, ainsi qu'un ou plusieurs bacs de récupération et cuves pour le liquide, dont la contenance est adaptée en fonction des besoins.Of course, other implementations of the present invention could have been envisaged without departing from the scope thereof. This is how it is entirely conceivable to produce a device according to the invention, which has shapes and dimensions other than parallelepipedal, as well as one or more recovery tanks and tanks for the liquid, the capacity is adapted according to needs.
