Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technological field of systems for the differentiated collection of household waste.
  • the inventors have devised a system, for the differentiated collection of waste, which has means of recording the amount of waste deposited by an individual user and charging or crediting to him or her a sum proportional to the amount of either nonrecyclable or recyclable waste deposited by the user.
  • the subject of the present invention actually consists of a system for the differentiated collection of household waste of the type described in the preamble of the attached Claim 1, characterized by the characterizing part of the same claim.
  • the example described comprises three adjacent units 2, 3, 4 composed of three entrance ports denoted 6, 7, 8, respectively, and three containers 9, 10, 11 for the respective types of waste.
  • Each entrance port 6, 7, 8 is provided with electronic means 5. These are sketched only as being generic with regard to their form. They determine by known methods the total volume or total number of waste items introduced by a user in a single operation, and convert these values into algebraic numbers which they then store electronically.
  • each collecting unit 2, 3, 4, the said means 5, or rather, in general, the electronic system with which they are provided, can be provided with the components necessary to determine, as stated, the amounts of waste deposited by each individual user, in order to determine the total amount (number or volume) of waste items introduced into it and lying there, and transmit the corresponding information, by data communication means, to a remote central receiving control station.
  • the enterprise or agency whose job it is to manage the collecting systems within a defined area can, by recording this information, not only correctly charge the costs to the individual users but also collect the said waste, i.e. empty the said containers 9, 10, 11, with the minimum use of time and staff by avoiding collecting it too frequently or allowing the systems to become unusable because already overfull.
  • An example of an embodiment of the said means 5, as far as computing the waste introduced by a user, as described above, is concerned, consists in using an electronic counting, storing and user-identifying system which may be connected simply by contact with a memory-containing identification key of known type which is given to the user, and onto which the said algebraic numbers are transferred.
  • a unit 2 for collecting containers such as bottles or cans is composed of a unit 2 for collecting containers such as bottles or cans, a unit 3 for collecting paper and a unit 4 for collecting bags containing nonrecyclable waste.
  • unit 2 In the case in which unit 2 is intended for collecting bottles, it comprises an opening 20 shaped for the passage of one bottle at a time, and an openable shutter 13 which, located on the base of the entrance port 6, communicates with the inside of a container 9 of predetermined volume: the latter is located underneath, usually underground as shown in Figure 3 relating to a collecting unit of a different type.
  • the inventors have also envisaged the advantageous possibility of installing a rotating dividing plate 23, as sketched in Figure 4. This is moved with extreme rapidity as indicated by the arrows K by an electric motor operated by one or more sensors that distinguish, e.g., receptacles made of P.E.T. (polyethyleneterephthalate) from glass receptacles, and direct them towards one 9N or other 9P of two separate sectors in the container 9.
  • P.E.T. polyethyleneterephthalate
  • a counter 12 determines the number of receptacles introduced and stores it in the memory already referred to of the electronic means 5.
  • a crushing piston 14 which is made of ferromagnetic material with a low residual induction, that is an electromagnetic crushing piston, with which, when depositing waste, the user can, before opening the lower shutter 13, compress the material against a side wall of the entrance port, as indicated by the arrow Q.
  • Aluminium containers such as cans and so forth, are squashed and, when the said shutter 13 is opened, fall into a first sector 9M of the container 9, whether or not the electromagnet is energized.
  • Ferromagnetic receptacles are compressed and retained by the magnetic attraction of the head of the said piston 14 which, after returning to its initial position, is de-energized, allowing them to drop into a second sector 9S of the container 9 which is separated from the said first sector 9M by a fixed dividing plate.
  • Figure 3 shows a unit for collecting paper, cardboard and the like: waste of this kind is introduced through an opening 21 until a chamber 30 is filled. The user then recloses the said opening 21 and opens a system of trapdoor shutters 31 allowing the contents of the chamber 30 to fall into the container 10 beneath.
  • a counter may e.g. determine the number of times the shutters 31 have been opened and reclosed, and send this datum to a memory contained in the electronic system 5. The datum is then forwarded to the user identification key, as stated earlier.
  • the opening 22 for the introduction of the bags is at the top, and opens upwards to permit the introduction of one or more bags 33.
  • the opening 22 is reclosed and shutters 32 of the type described earlier are opened, causing the said bags 33 to fall into the container 11, which is preferably underground.
  • the flaps and similar members that open and reclose the said openings for the introduction of waste must be connected mechanically to the said systems of shutters 13, 31, 32 in such a way that the opening of the latter presupposes the closing of the openings 20, 21 and 22.
  • each waste container be ventilated by suitably arranged openings in order to limit phenomena of fermentation and stagnation of foul-smelling gases.
  • the inventors have envisaged that the said shutters 32 (or a bulkhead 39 as in Figures 1 and 2) be so constructed that their level can be adjusted up and down in order to modify the volume defined by the said chamber 15: this will better protect a user who has only a limited volume of waste to introduce and is thus not charged for a greater volume than necessary.
  • Both the operations of opening and closing the various members, and those of varying the volume of the chamber 15 described earlier can be automated and performed by one or more low-voltage (e.g. 24 V) electric motors controlled by buttons and/or selectors, consent having been given when the said identification key was applied.
  • low-voltage e.g. 24 V
  • Both the number and type of collecting units arranged together to form a system according to the invention can be varied to suit requirements: even units for collecting oils or other types of waste can be installed; in the same way the shape and location of the various component parts can be modified by a person skilled in the art to create forms different from those described thus far and depicted in the drawings, but always falling within the scope of protection conferred by the present application if derived from the concepts expressed in the appended Claim 1.
