Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a waste container of larger dimensions, in particular for special waste.
  • waste containers must be tightly closable by means of a lid, which is difficult with larger dimensions.
  • such containers have pivotable clamping screws at their upper edge, which are pivoted into slots on the lid edge that are open to the outside, whereupon the lid is pressed onto the container edge by tightening wing nuts, compressing an intermediate seal.
  • An example of this is shown in DE-OS 36 14 767. From DE-OS 34 00 559 a similar hold-down mechanism for a container lid is known, in which the force is applied in places by hooks which can be pulled down by toggle levers which grip over the edge of the lid or attack fittings .
  • a special waste container with a tightly closable lid is known, which represents a circular section in the side view, which can be pivoted into the closed position via curved upper edges of the container side walls.
  • Swivel arms project downward from the lid side edges and are supported at their lower ends by a swivel axis arranged on the container side wall at the center of the curvature, this swivel axis projecting from a slide which can be moved up and down by a small amount by means of a toggle lever mechanism.
  • the lid In the upper position of the slide, the lid can be pivoted easily from the closed position to the open position and vice versa.
  • the slide and thus the lid are brought down by actuating the toggle lever, so that it lowers on the edge of the container and seals it by compressing an interposed rubber-elastic seal.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a waste container with a flat lid, which in the closed position is reliably pressed onto the edge of the container and which can be moved into the open position in a simple and convenient manner, in which it preferably completely releases the container opening.
  • the object is achieved by the features mentioned in the characterizing part.
  • the lid Through the parallel swing gear, the lid performs its movements on a circular path while maintaining its spatial position, i.e. remaining parallel, the direction of movement being vertical at the start of opening and at the end of the closing process, so that it is snugly placed on the edge of the container and due to the permanent pressurization remains pressed on it, or is evenly raised and can be lifted into a position which already opens a large area of the container opening and in many cases may be sufficient as an open position.
  • Claim 2 describes a significant further development with the effect that the lid can also be pivoted into a position that completely clears the container opening after lifting on a circular path.
  • the measure of securing the lateral position of the lid in the closed state by means of guide bolts of the lid interacting with guide openings in the container rim makes the container particularly suitable for stacking, whereby it also tolerates rough treatment.
  • the possibility of arranging such guide bolts arises from the fact that if the teaching of claim 3 is followed - with the cover closed, the rockers of the parallel rocker mechanism are horizontal - the direction of the initial opening movement is vertical and therefore the guide bolts emerge from the guide openings without the risk of jamming - or can enter them.
  • Pressurizing the actuating cylinders which are preferably designed as hydraulic cylinders, is expediently carried out via respective control valves, wherein according to claim 13 at least the control valve of the lifting cylinder has a switching position in which the cylinder chamber and the piston rod chamber are closed, that is to say the cylinder is blocked. This switch position allows the cover to be locked in any position and in particular also in the lowered and pressed state.
  • the spaces that must be under pressure for pressing the cover should have a connection to a pressure accumulator, for example a hydropneumatic accumulator with a membrane partition. Then at the end of the lowering movement process when pressing the Pressure build-up causing the lid to be stored in the gas space of the storage means energy, which ensures the reliable pressing of the lid even when small leakage losses occur, as can occur with aging seals or the like.
  • a pressure accumulator for example a hydropneumatic accumulator with a membrane partition.
  • control valves of the control unit ensures that the pivoting process can only take place when the lid is in the raised position.
  • both the movement processes lifting - swiveling back - applying the opening and the moving processes storing - advancing - lowering and pressing the closing can follow one another automatically, the operator only having to choose the "open" or "close” direction.
  • the container 1 has the basic shape of customary troughs in order to be able to be driven on conventional tipping vehicles and to be positioned and handled by their lifting devices. It is rectangular in plan; Fig. 1 shows its side view from the right and Fig. 2 shows the view from the front.
  • a horizontal circumferential reinforcement profile 3 is welded, to which lifting fittings 7 are fastened in the area of the front wall 4 and the rear wall 5, and further vertical reinforcement profiles 8 are welded on the outside .
  • foot rails 9 are fastened, which have a trapezoidal cross section as shown in FIG. 12 and are suitable for the kinetic energy when the container falls from a limited height by deformation and to protect the container itself from damage. To facilitate replacement after such a case, they are easily detachably attached to the floor, for example screwed to it.
  • the cover 10 is constructed with two shells from an upper and a lower plate, between which a cover edge profile 11 runs along the edges and cover stiffening profiles 12 which intersect in the interior. In this way, the lid has smooth surfaces and is easy to clean.
  • a closable sampling opening 13 is recessed in one of the fields between the stiffening profiles.
  • a rubber-elastic seal 15 is held in this along the course of the container edge in a U-profile that is open from the bottom and is visible from FIG.
  • a sealing bead 16 projecting upward from the container edge profile 2.
  • a protective sheet strip 17 covering it, which is welded to the lid edge profile 11.
  • the extension of the cover 10 in the transverse direction exceeds the extension of the container 1.
  • four guide bolts 18 protrude vertically downward in the four corners of the cover. These occur when the lid is closed in guide openings 19 of collar pieces 20 which are welded to the outside of the container edge profile 2.
  • Fig. 11 shows how the container walls are rounded, even in the corners, to facilitate cleaning.
  • the side cover edge profiles 11 form with two bent ones projecting downward from the ends thereof Struts 25 and a support 26 connecting their lower ends have a frame-like construction on which the kinematics acts to open and close the cover. This is described below with a preferred view of FIG. 1, which is the clearest so far, which shows the assembly arranged on the right-hand side of the container. It is understood that a corresponding mirror image kinematics is available on the left side of the container.
  • rockers 32, 33 of a parallel rocker mechanism are articulated on two rocker arms 30, 31 fixed to the container, the other ends of which are connected to a coupling plate 36 via the coupling joints 34, 35.
  • the upper swing arm axis 30 is attached to the container in a floating manner and the upper swing arm 32 articulated on it consists of two solid articulated bore pieces, between which webs extend at a distance from one another. Your plane of movement is close to the container wall.
  • the lower rocker axis 31 is fastened to a cantilever 38 attached to the container side wall in a fork 39 and the massive lower rocker 33 swings about this in a plane of movement which is further away from the container.
  • the coupling plate 36 consists of two spaced-apart individual plates and is connected to the rockers 32, 33 by way of axially fastened pivot pins of the coupling joints 34, 35 in such a way that their plane of movement extends further from the container wall next to the path of movement of the lower rocker 33.
  • a pivot axis 42 projects laterally outward from the coupling plate 36 and extends through the bore of a bearing bracket 43 welded to the carrier 26.
  • the cover 10 with its side frame structures 25/26 can thus be pivoted about the pivot axis 42, wherein the frame structure occupies a fourth plane of movement most distant from the side wall of the container.
  • Each parallel rocker gear is driven by a lifting cylinder 50, the bottom of which is articulated to a fitting 51 fastened to the rear wall 5 of the container and the piston rod 50 'of which acts on the upper rocker 32 at an articulation point 52 located between its ends.
  • the articulation point 52 is formed by an axis which is inserted between the webs of the upper rocker 32 and which engages through an eye at the end of the piston rod 50 ′ of the lifting cylinder 50.
  • pivot cylinders 55 The pivoting of the cover 10 with its side frame structures about the pivot axis 42 is controlled by pivot cylinders 55.
  • the bottom of each pivot cylinder 55 is articulated to a fitting 56 fastened to the lower surface of the cover and its piston rod 55 'engages on a pivot pin 57 which is in a corner the coupling plate 36 is inserted between the individual plates. It is understood that the axis of the lifting cylinder 55 extends at a certain distance from the pivot axis 42, so that its action generates a pivoting moment.
  • a hand pump 60 is used to pressurize the cylinders and, as can be seen in FIG. 1, is seated on a cantilever structure 61 fastened to the right side wall 6 of the container.
  • the handle handle 62 used for actuation is arranged in the vicinity of the front edge of the right side wall in order to be easily gripped by an operator, while the pump 60 itself is set back and is connected to the handle handle 62 via a coupling 63.
  • FIG. 5 also shows the control unit 70 with the necessary valves for the one to be described below To enable the function of the container. It is assumed that the container is closed according to FIG. 3.
  • the actuation of the pump 60 first causes a supply of pressure fluid to the piston rod space of the lifting cylinders 50. Their piston rods 50 'move in and lift the coupling plates 36 and with them the cover 10 into the position shown in FIG. 1 or 5 position. The pressure is then switched over manually or automatically to the piston rod spaces of the swivel cylinder 55, the piston rods 55 'of which are thereby retracted and the cover is pivoted back about the swivel axis 42. An intermediate position of this movement process can be seen from FIG. 6 and the end position from FIG. 7.
  • the opening can be stopped in any intermediate position and the position reached can be locked. To do this, only the control valves of the actuating cylinders have to be placed in a blocking position, i.e. the working spaces of the cylinders are completed.
  • the lid is closed in the reverse order by appropriate manual or automatic control of the movement processes. Placing - swiveling - lowering / pressing.
  • a so far not yet described special feature of the waste container is the curvature of the cover 10 in the transverse direction, which is exaggerated in FIG. 2, which it has when it is held freely between the lateral struts 25, that is to say in the raised state.
  • This curvature has the result that when closing at the end of the lowering movement, the center of the transverse seals 15, i.e. that of the front and rear edge of the lid, comes to rest against the sealing bead 16 of the container edge profile 2 and the lid with further downward movement of its lateral edges flat (in the stretched position) until the longitudinal seals under the side edges also settle. This leads to an even distribution of the pressing forces along the entire circumference.
