Abstract
Device for collecting waste in a pit, including a pit (1) having a lid (2,3) which can be opened and allowing transit, when it is in closed position, at the level of the surrounding paving (6); the lid is associated with the upper edge of the pit, and the pit furthermore has a lifting unit (12-15) that moves at least one waste container (16) from a position in which it is fully inserted in the pit to a position in which it protrudes fully from it; the lid has at least one column (9,10) to allow users to put waste into the at least one container.
Description
- The present invention relates to a device for collecting waste in a pit.
- It is known that the methods currently used to collect municipal solid waste are quite unsatisfactory.
- Considering the method currently in widespread use, which consists in using large bins which are placed alongside the street surface proximate to the sidewalks and in which users place the waste contained in bags and various containers, it is easy to note its drawbacks both from the aesthetic point of view, since the bins certainly do not provide pleasant urban furnishing, and from the point of view of hygiene, due to the fumes that leak from said bins.
- Such bins also cause unwanted space occupation particularly in densely populated areas.
- It should also be noted that known collection methods entail a considerable use of labor, both for the above mentioned municipal solid waste and more generally for waste of any kind.
- In order to obviate all these drawbacks, EPA no. 91 116 955.5 filed October 4, 1991 in the name of the same Applicants discloses a device that comprises a structure having a base and a lid which are mutually connected so as to delimit a portion of space for accommodating a bin that receives the waste by means of a column associated with the lid; said structure is connected to lifting means that move it from a position in which it is retracted inside a pit, so that its lid is aligned with the surrounding access surface, and a position in which it protrudes from the pit and in which it is the base that is aligned with said access surface.
- This device is highly effective, but further studies have allowed to provide a new device which again has the aim of freeing the road surface from any bulky structure having a negative aesthetic impact and furthermore provides optimum hygiene conditions and easy handling for operators.
- The proposed aim is achieved by a device for collecting waste in a pit, according to the invention, characterized in that it comprises a pit having a lid which can be opened and allowing transit, when it is in closed position, at the level of the surrounding paving, said lid being associated with the upper edge of said pit, said pit furthermore having a lifting unit suitable to move at least one waste container from a position in which it is fully inserted in the pit to a position in which it protrudes fully from it, said lid having at least one column to allow users to put waste into the at least one container.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment thereof, illustrated only by way of non-limitative example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view, taken along the plane I-I of figure 2, of the device according to the invention with its lid closed;
- figure 2 is a transverse sectional view, taken along the plane II-II of figure 1, of the device according to the invention with its lid open.
- With reference to the above figures, the
reference numeral 1 designates a pit, which is provided by ground excavation, is lined with masonry, and has an openable lid formed by twohalves 2 and 3 hinged respectively at 4 and 5 to an upper rim of the pit. - Said lid is moved between a closed position, illustrated in figure 1, in which it allows transit over it by virtue of the strength of its structure and it is at the level of the surrounding
paving 6, and an open position, shown in figure 2, by actuatingoleodynamic cylinders 7 for the half 2 andoleodynamic cylinders 8 for thehalf 3. - The two halves of the lid have
columns 9 for thehalf 2 and 10 for thehalf 3, which allow users to insert waste in the underlying containers, which will be described hereinafter. - As regards the lid, it should be noted that a seal suitable to prevent the escape of fumes from the pit is provided in the manner described and claimed in the above mentioned patent application no.91 116 955.5 and comprises a channel 11, which is filled with water and runs along the entire rim of the pit; when the lid is closed, said channel accommodates a ridge extending from said lid.
- The
pit 1 accommodates a lifting unit which comprises aplatform 12, provided withsliders 13 that can slide alongguides 14, which are fixed to the walls of the pit, by virtue of the action of anoleodynamic cylinder 15; said platform is suitable to support the waste containers, constituted by ordinary bins such as 16, and there are six of said containers, each one being located at acolumn 10, for introducing the waste. - The normal condition of the device is the one shown in figure 1: the containers are accommodated in the
pit 1 below the street level; only thecolumns 10 protrude above said street level, and the waste is inserted therein by the users and falls into thebins 16. - Said bins are periodically emptied by moving the lid into the open position shown in figure 2 and by lifting the
platform 12 of the lifting unit up to the level of thepaving 6 surrounding the pit, as shown in dashed lines in said figure 2, so as to easily move thebins 16 to the collection truck. - Indeed, the
actuator cylinder 15 of the lifting unit and theactuator cylinders - The described invention is susceptible to numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the inventive concept.
- In the practical embodiment of the invention, the materials employed, as well as the shapes and dimensions, may be any according to the requirements.
- Where technical features mentioned in any claim are followed by reference signs, those reference signs have been included for the sole purpose of increasing the intelligibility of the claims and accordingly such reference signs do not have any limiting effect on the scope of each element identified by way of example by such reference signs.
