Description

La présente invention concerne un système d'obturation d'une trémie de benne à ordures présentant une ouverture d'accès à ladite trémie.The present invention relates to a system shutter of a dumpster hopper with an access opening to said hopper.

On connaít de l'état de la technique divers systèmes d'obturation de trémie de benne à ordures comme celui décrit dans le brevet GB-A 498 144, dont le but est d'assurer la sécurité des ouvriers chargés de déverser des ordures dans la trémie contre les risques encourus lors du compactage des déchets du fait de la descente de la pelle de compactage devant l'ouverture d'accès, et également contre les risques de projection provenant de certains déchets, tels que l'implosion des postes de télévision par exemple.We know of the various prior art dump hopper closure systems like that described in patent GB-A 498,144, the goal is to ensure the safety of workers responsible for dumping garbage into the hopper against risks incurred during the compaction of waste due to the descent of the compaction shovel in front of the opening of access, and also against projection risks from certain wastes, such as the implosion of television sets for example.

Le système décrit dans le brevet anglais précité comprend un écran coulissant sensiblement le long de ladite ouverture sous l'action de moyens moteur, entre une position inférieure escamotée par rapport à ladite ouverture et une position dans laquelle ledit écran obture partiellement ladite ouverture d'accès à la trémie. Il comprend également un moyen d'obturation partielle de ladite ouverture d'accès la trémie de manière complémentaire à l'écran.The system described in the aforementioned English patent includes a screen sliding substantially along said opening under the action of motor means, between a position lower retracted with respect to said opening and a position in which said screen closes partially said hopper access opening. he also includes a means for partially closing off said access opening the hopper so complementary to the screen.

Ces systèmes d'obturation connus sont en général des systèmes monobloc comme des rideaux, souvent très lourds, donc difficiles à manoeuvrer manuellement et empêchant la collecte en vrac des déchets, ou encore des réhausses de trémie rabattables obturant complètement l'ouverture d'accès, également lourdes, présentant un porte-à-faux important en position rabattue et obligeant les ouvriers à se tenir éloignés de la benne, ce qui est gênant pour le chargement de sacs lourds ou volumineux et pour le vidage manuel des poubelles.These known shutter systems are generally monobloc systems like curtains, often very heavy, therefore difficult to maneuver manually and preventing the bulk collection of waste, or folding hopper risers closing completely the access opening, also heavy, with a significant overhang in position turned down and forcing workers to stay away of the bucket, which is inconvenient for loading heavy or bulky bags and for manual emptying of trash cans.

Aussi, le problème technique à résoudre par l'objet de la présente invention est de proposer un système d'obturation d'une trémie de benne à ordures présentant une ouverture d'accès à ladite trémie, système qui serait beaucoup plus facile à mettre en oeuvre que les dispositifs connus, tout en garantissant le niveau de sécurité recherché.Also, the technical problem to be solved by the object of the present invention is to provide a closure system of a dumpster hopper having an access opening to said hopper, system which would be much easier to implement works as the known devices, while ensuring the level of security sought.

La solution au problème technique posé consiste selon la présente invention à réaliser un moyen d'obturation partielle apte à prendre, d'une part, une position de chargement desdites ordures dans la trémie et, d'autre part une position d'obturation partielle, dans laquelle ledit moyen obture partiellement à sa partie inférieure ladite ouverture d'accès à la trémie de manière complémentaire à l'écran, l'écran obturant ladite ouverture à sa partie supérieure.The solution to the technical problem posed consists according to the present invention to provide a means partial filling able to take, on the one hand, a loading position of said refuse into the hopper and, on the other hand, a partially closed position, wherein said means partially blocks its lower part of said hopper access opening complementary to the screen, the screen closing said opening at its top.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation du dispositif d'obturation conforme à l'invention, ledit moyen d'obturation partielle est une réhausse de trémie apte à pivoter manuellement autour d'une articulation disposée au voisinage du bord inférieur de ladite ouverture, entre ladite position d'obturation partielle et une position de chargement manuel dans laquelle ladite réhausse de trémie est rabattue vers l'extérieur par rapport à ladite ouverture.According to a first embodiment of the device obturation according to the invention, said means partial shutter is a suitable hopper extension to manually rotate around a joint disposed in the vicinity of the lower edge of said opening, between said partially closed position and a manual loading position in which said hopper extension is folded outwards relative to said opening.

Ainsi, contrairement aux systèmes existants, le système d'obturation de l'invention n'est pas réalisé en une seule pièce, mais est formé de deux éléments distincts, à savoir l'écran coulissant et la réhausse de trémie pivotante, la répartition de la masse totale étant d'environ deux tiers pour l'écran et un tiers pour la réhausse de trémie.Thus, unlike existing systems, the shutter system of the invention is not realized in one piece, but is made up of two elements separate, namely the sliding screen and the lift pivoting hopper, the distribution of the total mass being about two-thirds for the screen and one-third for the hopper extension.

Il en résulte que la réhausse de trémie, beaucoup plus légère, peut être facilement manoeuvrée par les ouvriers. De plus, son encombrement en position de chargement rabattue vers l'arrière est très réduit et ne gêne pas les ouvriers dans leur travail.As a result, the hopper extension, many lighter, can be easily operated by workers. In addition, its size in the position of load folded back is very small and does not interfere with workers in their work.

De même, la réduction du poids de l'écran coulissant permet d'utiliser des moyens moteurs, vérins par exemple, de faible puissance pour amener ledit écran d'une position à une autre sur une trajectoire et à une inertie acceptables.Similarly, reducing the screen weight sliding allows the use of motor means, cylinders for example, of low power to bring said screen from one position to another on a path and to acceptable inertia.

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation du dispositif d'obturation conforme à l'invention, ledit moyen d'obturation partielle est un rideau roulant suspendu en partie inférieure de l'écran coulissant, apte à se trouver en position d'obturation partielle complémentaire lorsque l'écran est en position d'obturation maximale, et en ce que ledit système d'obturation comporte des rails latéraux incurvés vers le dessous de la benne, destinés à recevoir ledit rideau roulant en position de chargement lorsque l'écran est en position escamotée sous l'ouverture d'accès.According to a second embodiment of the sealing device according to the invention, said partial shutter means is a rolling curtain suspended in the lower part of the sliding screen, able to be in a partially closed position complementary when the screen is in position maximum shutter, and in that said system shutter has side rails curved towards the underside of the bucket, intended to receive said rolling shutter in loading position when the screen is in the retracted position under the opening access.

La description qui va suivre en regard des dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, fera bien comprendre en quoi consiste l'invention et comment elle peut être réalisée.The following description next to the drawings attached, given by way of non-limiting examples, will understand what the invention is all about and how it can be done.

La figure 1 est une vue de côté d'un premier système d'obturation conforme à l'invention. Figure 1 is a side view of a first sealing system according to the invention.

La figure 2 est une vue de face du système d'obturation de la figure 1.Figure 2 is a front view of the system shutter in Figure 1.

La figure 3 est une vue de côté d'un deuxième système d'obturation conforme à l'invention.Figure 3 is a side view of a second sealing system according to the invention.

La figure 4 est une vue de face du système d'obturation de la figure 3.Figure 4 is a front view of the system shutter in Figure 3.

Les figures 1 et 2 montrent en vues de côté et de face un premier système d'obturation d'une trémie 10 d'une benne à ordures.Figures 1 and 2 show side and side views facing a first closure system for a hopper 10 a dumpster.

Les déchets sont déversés dans ladite trémie à travers une ouverture 11 d'accès délimitée par un bord inférieur 11a, défini par la poutre de la benne, un bord supérieur 11b et deux bords latéraux 11c, 11d.The waste is discharged into said hopper at through an access opening 11 delimited by an edge lower 11a, defined by the beam of the bucket, a upper edge 11b and two lateral edges 11c, 11d.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 1 et 2, le système d'obturation de l'invention comprend un écran 30 coulissant sensiblement le long de l'ouverture 11 sous l'action de moyens moteurs 31, vérins hydrauliques par exemple, entre une position escamotée (II') dans laquelle ledit écran 30 est extérieur par rapport à l'ouverture 11, ici en position basse, et une position (I') d'obturation maximale de l'ouverture 11 d'accès à la trémie 10. Par obturation maximale on entend la plus grande obturation partielle de l'ouverture 11 que peut procurer l'écran 30 compte tenu de ses propres dimensions.As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, the shutter system of the invention includes a screen 30 sliding substantially along the opening 11 under the action of motor means 31, hydraulic cylinders for example, between a retracted position (II ') in which said screen 30 is external relative to opening 11, here in the lower position, and a position (I ') maximum closure of the opening 11 for access to the hopper 10. By maximum obturation we mean the most large partial closure of the opening 11 that can get screen 30 given its own dimensions.

Il est également prévu un moyen 20 d'obturation partielle, ici une réhausse 20 de trémie, apte à être pivotée manuellement autour d'une articulation 21 disposée au voisinage du bord inférieur 11a de l'ouverture 11 d'accès à la trémie 10. Il est alors possible de manoeuvrer ladite réhausse 20 de trémie entre une position (II) de chargement manuel dans laquelle la réhausse 20 de trémie est rabattue vers l'extérieur de la benne par rapport à ladite ouverture et une position (I) d'obturation partielle dans laquelle la réhausse de trémie obture partiellement l'ouverture 11 de manière complémentaire à l'écran 30 coulissant en position (I') d'obturation maximale. En d'autres termes, l'ouverture 11 est totalement obturée lorsque, d'une part, l'écran 30 est en position (I') d'obturation maximale, et, d'autre part, que la réhausse 20 de trémie est en position (I) d'obturation partielle complémentaire.A closure means 20 is also provided. partial, here a hopper extension 20, suitable for manually rotated around a joint 21 disposed in the vicinity of the lower edge 11a of the opening 11 for access to the hopper 10. It is then possible to operate said hopper extension 20 between a manual loading position (II) in which the hopper extension 20 is folded towards the exterior of the bucket relative to said opening and a partially closed position (I) in which the hopper extension partially closes the opening 11 in addition to the screen 30 sliding in position (I ') maximum shutter. In in other words, the opening 11 is completely closed when, on the one hand, the screen 30 is in position (I ') maximum shutter, and, secondly, that the hopper extension 20 is in the closed position (I) partial additional.

Le fonctionnement de la benne des figures 1 et 2 en chargement manuel est alors le suivant.The operation of the bucket in Figures 1 and 2 in manual loading is then the following.

L'écran coulissant 30 est amené dans sa position nominale de chargement, c'est-à-dire la position escamotée (II'), à l'aide des vérins 31. Les ouvriers font pivoter manuellement la réhausse 20 de trémie en position (II) de chargement et déversent les sacs de déchets dans la trémie 10 par dessus ladite réhausse de trémie.The sliding screen 30 is brought into its position nominal loading, i.e. position retracted (II '), using cylinders 31. The workers manually rotate the hopper extension 20 to loading position (II) and pour the bags of waste in the hopper 10 over said extension of hopper.

Quand la trémie 10 est pleine et avant d'effectuer l'opération de compactage, les ouvriers amènent, toujours manuellement, la réhausse 20 de trémie en position (I) d'obturation partielle qui se bloque par des verrous, non représentés. Puis, les vérins 31 sont actionnés pour amener l'écran coulissant 30 en position (I') d'obturation maximale. L'ouverture 11 d'accès étant totalement obturée par l'ensemble de l'écran 30 et de la réhausse 20 de trémie, le compactage des déchets peut être alors réalisé sans danger.When the hopper 10 is full and before performing the compacting operation, the workers bring, always manually, the hopper extension 20 in partially closed position (I) which is blocked by locks, not shown. Then, the cylinders 31 are actuated to bring the sliding screen 30 into position (I ') maximum shutter. 11 access opening being completely blocked by the entire screen 30 and hopper extension 20, the compaction of waste can then be produced without danger.

Dans le cas d'un chargement mécanisé à l'aide d'un lève-conteneurs 50, l'écran 30 est placé dans une position intermédiaire, non représenté, telle que ledit écran obture partiellement l'ouverture 10 déjà partiellement obturée par la réhausse 20 de trémie en position (I).In the case of mechanized loading using a container lifter 50, the screen 30 is placed in a intermediate position, not shown, as said screen partially closes aperture 10 already partially closed by the hopper extension 20 in position (I).

Le déversement des ordures se fait donc par basculement au-dessus de l'écran 30 en position intermédiaire à travers une ouverture relativement réduite.The dumping of garbage is therefore done by tilting above the screen 30 in position intermediate through a relatively opening scaled down.

En phase de compactage, un dispositif d'asservissement synchronise les mouvements du lève-conteneur 50, de l'écran 30 et de la pelle de compactage de manière telle que, si le lève-conteneur 50 est en position basse avant que le mouvement de descente de la pelle de compactage n'ait commencé, l'écran 30 est amené dans sa position (I') d'obturation maximale, afin d'obturer totalement l'ouverture 11 pendant le début du mouvement de la pelle de compactage.In the compaction phase, a device control synchronizes the movements of the container lifter 50, screen 30 and shovel compacting in such a way that if the container lifter 50 is in the lower position before the movement of descent of the compaction shovel has not started, the screen 30 is brought into its closed position (I ′) maximum, in order to completely close the aperture 11 during the start of the shovel movement compaction.

On remarquera sur la figure 1 la présence d'une toile 40 de protection disposée entre le bord inférieur 11a de l'ouverture 11 d'accès à la trémie 10 et le bord libre 22 de la réhausse 20 de trémie, de manière à être tendue lorsque ladite réhausse 20 de trémie est en position (I) d'obturation partielle. Cette disposition permet, lorsque l'articulation 21 est déportée vers l'intérieur de la trémie (figure 4), d'empêcher les ouvriers d'engager leurs mains ou leurs bras au-delà du bord 11a de l'ouverture 11 et d'éviter ainsi l'effet de guillotine qui pourrait se produire à la descente de l'écran coulissant 30.Note in Figure 1 the presence of a protective fabric 40 disposed between the lower edge 11a of the opening 11 of access to the hopper 10 and the edge free 22 of the hopper extension 20, so as to be tensioned when said hopper extension 20 is in position (I) of partial closure. This provision allows, when the articulation 21 is offset towards inside the hopper (figure 4), to prevent workers to engage their hands or arms beyond the edge 11a of opening 11 and thus avoid the effect of guillotine which could occur at the descent of the sliding screen 30.

Les figures 3 et 4 montrent un deuxième système d'obturation de l'invention dans lequel le moyen d'obturation partielle est un rideau roulant 20' suspendu en partie inférieure de l'écran coulissant 30. A titre d'exemple, ledit rideau souple 20' peut être constitué de lattes horizontales articulées.Figures 3 and 4 show a second system shutter of the invention in which the means partial shutter is a rolling curtain 20 ' suspended in the lower part of the sliding screen 30. By way of example, said flexible curtain 20 ′ can be made of articulated horizontal slats.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 3 et 4, le rideau roulant 20' se trouve en position (I) d'obturation partielle complémentaire lorsque l'écran (30) est en position (I') d'obturation maximale. D'autre part, on peut observer sur la figure 3 la présence de rails latéraux 23 incurvés vers le dessous de la benne, destinés à recevoir ledit rideau roulant 20' en position (II) de chargement lorsque l'écran 30 est en position (II') escamotée sous l'ouverture 11 d'accès.As can be seen in Figures 3 and 4, the rolling shutter 20 'is in position (I) additional partial shutter when the screen (30) is in position (I ') maximum shutter. On the other hand, we can observe in Figure 3 the presence of side rails 23 curved downwards of the bucket, intended to receive said rolling curtain 20 'in the loading position (II) when the screen 30 is in position (II ') retracted under the opening 11 access.

Le fonctionnement de ce deuxième dispositif d'obturation est analogue à celui précédemment décrit en regard des figures 1 et 2, si ce n'est que le rideau roulant 20' en tant que moyen d'obturation partielle vient automatiquement en position (I) avec l'écran 30, contrairement à la réhausse 20 de trémie qui nécessite une intervention manuelle.How this second device works shutter is analogous to that previously described opposite Figures 1 and 2, except that the curtain rolling 20 'as a partial sealing means automatically comes to position (I) with screen 30, unlike the hopper extension 20 which requires manual intervention.
