Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • DE-A-42 02 208 discloses a device of the type mentioned at the beginning, in which a key element which enables access to the device also forms the payment means. This key element contains several identical value units, each of which corresponds to a certain amount of waste. In this facility, the devaluation of the payment means takes place during the introduction of the garbage by lowering a weighing pan and thus with the lid open.
  • the present invention therefore has as its object to improve a device of the type mentioned in such a way that it loads a garbage collector due to the garbage weight actually given by it and that it largely ensures proper operation without constant supervision and, in the event of incorrect operation, recourse by the community or another operator to the fallible user.
  • the object is achieved according to the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the device according to the invention is accessible with key elements that identify its owner, then the user who puts the device into operation with his key element assumes responsibility for its correct use and liability towards the community. If the sanctions against abuse are severe enough, each user will ensure that if his key element is in the control unit, the facility will not be misused by him or by third parties.
  • Another advantage is that the key element allows for multiple configurations in terms of shape, functionality and data storage capacity. Depending on the design of the key element, a simpler or more comfortable fee-based scale can also be used.
  • the embodiment shown in the drawing essentially has a container 1 for holding rubbish, a fee-based scale 2 and a control unit 3.
  • the container 1 preferably a conventional waste container, is in operative connection with the weighing sensor 4, which can be a weighing platform, a weighing can or the like and which detects the gross weight of the container 1.
  • a signal corresponding to the detected gross weight is fed to an internal computer which calculates changes in weight or the fee corresponding to an increase in weight and displays it on a display 5.
  • the display 5 is reset to zero, whereupon the balance 2 has a signal "paid" at the entrance of a gate 7 after payment of the full amount.
  • the lid 8 of the container is provided with an opening device 9, which at least locks the lid 8 in the closed position and preferably pivots it into its open position after unlocking.
  • the opening device 9 is connected via a switch 10 to a direct current source 11.
  • the container 1 is assigned a closing detector 12 which, when the lid 8 is closed, emits a "lid closed” signal to the second input of the gate 7. This generates a return command to the control unit 3 when the signal "paid" is present from the scale 2.
  • the control unit 3 enables a user to access the container 1 if he has a key element 13.
  • the key element 13 can have an identification character or a deposit character or both with respect to the user. Magnetic cards with the name of the user or a numbered key given to the user by the local government are suitable as a key element with identification character. Banknotes of a certain value can be used as an access element with a deposit character.
  • the lid 8 of the container 1 is closed and the scale 2 is switched off. If a user wants to deposit one or more rubbish bags in the container 1, he introduces his key element 12 into a corresponding opening in the control unit 3. If this proves to be valid, the scale 2 is put into operation and closes the switch 10 which actuates the opening device 9 and releases the cover 8. If the cover 8 is free, the closing detector 12 opens the switch 10 again and the cover remains in its open position. The user can now put his rubbish in container 1.
  • the scale 2 detects the change in weight, calculates the weight gain and shows it on the display in the form of the amount owed. The user must now close the cover 8, as a result of which the "cover closed" signal from the closing detector 12 is present at the gate 7.
  • the user must throw the amount shown on the display 5 into the cash register 6 until the display is reset to zero and the signal "paid" is present at the second entrance of the gate 7. This is followed by the return command from the gate 7 to the control unit 3, which releases the key element 13 to the user for withdrawal.
  • the key element 13 remains in the control unit and the user can be identified by the supervisory authority and, if necessary, be made to pay appropriately. If the key element is a banknote, it is used by the control device 3 retained and compensated the community for rubbish deposited uncontrolled in container 1.
  • the control unit 3 can be combined with the cash register 6 and integrated into the scale 2.
  • the key element 13 is a magnetic tax card provided with a certain monetary value, which bears the name of the user and which is canceled according to the rubbish thrown into the container 1 by a validator functioning as a cash register.
  • the tax card is only returned to the user when he has closed the lid 8 again. If the visitor refrains from closing the cover 8 or paying the full amount shown on the display 5, he can be identified on the basis of the retained tax card. The municipality can then hold itself harmless for the damage it has suffered.
  • Such a tax card is preferably designed in such a way that it can be "recharged" at a central point for a corresponding amount of money and that it can save a negative balance within certain limits. This negative balance can be paid when the tax card is recharged.
  • the container is preferably protected by a housing or a measure having the same effect, so that after the cover 8 is closed, a user cannot lift the container 1 either by hand or with an aid and can influence the weight display.
