Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the collection of solid urban waste and more specifically to an automatic unit for the storage in a pit of the usual skips or containers for collection of waste, or of specially dedicated containers.
  • waste collection skips Another inherent disadvantage in the conventional use of waste collection skips consists in the need and difficulty of performing repeated manoeuvres with the vehicle for emptying the skips, in order to align it and pick up each individual skip to be emptied.
  • the general object of the present invention is to provide an automatic storage unit for the storage in a closed area of skips for the collection of solid urban waste, which is suitable for solving or substantially reducing the problems specified above.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide an automatic storage unit for waste collection skips, as referred above, which allows the conservation and storage of the skips out of sight, in a specially dedicated space, easily accessible to any transport means or for emptying the same skips, also allowing the picking-up of the individual skips to be emptied, in a single predetermined position of the storage area.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide an automatic storage unit for skips, as referred above, which is suitable for considerably limiting the hygiene problems and environmental impact, such as to allow totally automatic management with the various skips appropriately hidden in an especially equipped space, enabling the various skips to be recirculated and filled progressively, leaving on each occasion one single skip outside and accessible for normal use.
  • an automatic storage unit for the storage of skips for the collection of waste, comprising:
  • an automatic storage unit for the storage of skips for the collection of solid urban waste comprises a pit 10 defining a large space in the ground for storage of several skips 11A, 11B, 11C, one of which, for example the skip 11A, normally remains raised in a condition of use, with the skip partially or totally outside protruding from the open-top side of the pit 10, while the other skips 11B and 11c remain lowered in a stored condition totally inside the pit 10, as schematically shown in figure 1.
  • an elevator system is provided for raising, moving and positioning the skips 11A, 11B, 11C along a storage path, and which automatically provides for their vertical and horizontal movements along appropriate guide tracks for supporting and moving the skips, as explained hereinbelow.
  • an elevator and skip conveying system allows the possibility of performing a recirculation of the skips 11A, 11B, 11C, along a recirculation path inside and outside the pit 10 so that individual empty or full skips can be taken at the level of the ground surface, in a predetermined position or zone of the top-open side of the pit 10 for their filling or emptying, or stored and kept at one or more levels in the pit 10 after their filling or emptying, in order to be subsequently returned outside for their use or when the full skips have to be taken by an appropriate vehicle or removed for their emptying.
  • the elevator system for raising and moving of the skips comprises a first chain elevator 12, as well as a second chain elevator 13 adjacent to and aligned with the previous one along the longitudinal axis of the pit 10, for the raising and lowering of the skips 11A, 11B, 11C.
  • Each elevator 12, 13, on both sides of the pit 10 is provided with a set of tracks 20A, 20B for the guide and the support of the skips which can be moved and positioned on several levels, as well as with guide rails 22, drive motor 14 and a control system 28 for raising, lowering, positioning and of stopping of the guide tracks 20A, 20B supporting the skips 11A-11C at the various storing levels.
  • the control system for positioning and stopping the tracks 20A, 20B comprises a cam member 15 connected to a drive shaft 18 of the elevator; the cam 15 actuates a microswitch 15' connected to an electrical circuit or to a control unit to stop the drive motors 14 of the elevators each time the tracks 20A, 20B reach the required storage levels.
  • a cam control system 15' any other suitable control means can be provided, for example a signal generator or encoder driven by the rotation of a shaft 18 of the elevator.
  • each elevator 12 and 13 comprises four endless chains 16A, 16B, 16C, 16D which develop vertical along respective vertical paths from the bottom of the pit 10 upwards near both side walls of the same pit 10, winding around pairs of cogged wheel 17.
  • Each cogged wheel 17 of the chains at one end of each elevator 12, 13 is in turn connected to a corresponding cogged wheel 17 on the opposite end chains, via a drive shaft 18.
  • the four endless chains 16A-16D at the ends and on the two sides of each elevator are synchronised one with the other to conjointly move in any appropriate manner, for example by means of an endless chain 19 which extends crosswise between cogged wheels connected to the lower drive shafts 18, one of which is connected to the electric motor 14 by an intermediate transmission member or chain schematically denoted by 14A.
  • each elevator 12 and 13 comprises several pairs of horizontal tracks 20A, 20B and 20C, connected to the endless chains 16A-16D, which extend longitudinally to the pit 10 and along which trolleys 21, shown in figure 1, can slide to support and move the skips 11.
  • endless chains 16A-16D during lowering or raising movements, are guided by means of vertical rails 22, one of which is shown by way of an example in the detail of figure 5.
  • the rails 22 extend parallel to the chains 16A-16D preventing the tracks 20 for supporting the skips from oscillating, and consequently the same skips from hitting against the side walls of the pit 10.
  • the elevator 13 is wholly similar or identical to the elevator 12 whereto reference should be made for its description.
  • the elevator system for moving the skips in addition to the vertical elevators 12 and 13, also comprises horizontal draw means for moving the skips along the tracks 20A-20C of both elevators 12 and 13 inside the pit 10, when the tracks 20A-20C of an elevator 12 are aligned with the corresponding tracks 20A-20C of the other elevator 13.
  • the draw means for the trolleys 21 are provided at each storing level of the tracks.
  • they comprise an endless chain 23' on one side of the pit 10 which horizontally extends over the length of the two adjacent elevators 12 and 13, between two cogged wheels 23, one of which is connected to an electric motor 24 by an intermediate chain.
  • Each chain 23' is provided with one or more pushing members 25 which engage one end the trolleys 21, or alternatively directly the skips 11A-11C should the latter be provided with their own wheels, in order to move the individual skips 11-11C from one storing position to another storing position along the storing path provided by tracks 20A-20C between the two elevators 12, 13.
  • an appropriate cam control device wholly similar to the cam control device 15, 15' of the two vertical elevators, or a signal generator can be provided to determine the positions for stopping the skips 11A-11C on the tracks 20A-20C of the two elevators 12, 13.
  • Both elevators 12, 13 with the chains 23' of the draw system for vertical and horizontal movements of the skips are carried by a support structure inside the space of the pit 10, in a suitable position for allowing cleaning and maintenance of the pit itself. Moreover the latter is to be provided with an air suction system comprising a fan 26 designed to suck the air inside the pit in order to convey it towards the exterior by means of a pipe 27.
  • the upper side of the pit 10, at each elevator 12, 13, can in turn be closed by a cover, for example of the tip-up type, as schematically denoted by 30 in the figures of the accompanying drawings.
  • the storing unit allows storage of three skips, including an external skip 11A in use condition for collecting waste, and two skips 11B, 11C inside the pit 10, which may be empty or full according to the degree of use of the system.
  • the individual skips 11A, 11B, 11C are then rested on the trolleys 21 moving along the tracks 20A, 20B, 20C of the two elevators 12, 13, for example the tracks 20A and 20B inside the endless-chains 16A-16D in the case of figure 4, so that they can be moved both vertically and horizontally.
  • the vertical movement of the trolleys 21 supporting the skips can be driven in a reversible manner both from above downwards and in an opposite direction, between a raised position, for example denoted by 11A in figure 1, wherein the skip projects partially or totally from the pit 10 to allow its use, and a lowered position denoted by 11B in the same figure 1, wherein the skip, full or empty, is stored inside the pit 10.
  • the trolleys 21 with the respective skips can then be laterally moved, or reciprocate from one elevator to another, by means of the draw devices 23'.
  • the draw devices 23' it is possible to perform a cyclical rotation of all skips 11A, 11B, 11C along the conveying path, between a stored condition inside the pit 10, to an use condition, bringing them subsequently at the level of the ground surface for waste collection and respectively for emptying the skips themselves.
  • an elevator system for the skips has been shown of the endless chain type, in that it allows an extremely simple solution, with less problems of maintenance.
  • the chain elevators shown it is possible to use any other elevator device for rising the skips, providing, for example, special platforms mechanically, hydraulically or differently actuated moving along vertical guides.
  • the storage unit is set up to contain the skips on one single level inside the skip 10.
  • figure 6 shows the pair of skips A and B of the first right-hand elevator, in a raised position, at a firs level in which the skip A partially projects from the pit 10 for its use, and the skip B is stored at an intermediate level inside the pit; skip E is positioned at the same level of skip B, while skips C and D are positioned at a bottom level.
  • the skips C and A on the right-hand elevator can be raised to bring the skip C partially or totally outside of the pit 10, in the same condition as the skip A of figure 6, wherein the empty skip can once again be used.
