Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Sammeln von Müll, umfassend einen unterirdischen Behälter.The invention relates to a device for collecting garbage comprising an underground container.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist allgemein bekannt, und wird zum Beispiel zur getrennten Sammlung von Kleidung, Papier oder Glasabfall angewandt. Die bekannte Vorrichtung umfaßt einen Innenbehälter aus Stahlblech, der in einen in den Boden eingegrabenen Außenbehälter hineingestellt wird. Der Innenbehälter hat einen ausklappbaren Bodenteil und wird durch einen Deckel abgeschlossen, auf den eine Säule aufgestellt wurde, mit Bedienungsmitteln für den Bodenteil versehen, zum Beispiel einem Gestänge, einer Befüllöffnung zum Deponieren von Abfällen und einer Hebeöse. Der Innenbehälter der bekannten Vorrichtung wird entleert, indem dieser Innenbehälter mit Deckel aus dem Aussenbehälter an der Hebeöse gewunden wird mit Hilfe einer speziell dazu ausgerüsteten Hebevorrichtung die auch mit den Bedienungsmitteln des ausklappbaren Bodenteiles zusammenarbeitet.Such a device is well known and is used, for example, for the separate collection of clothing, paper or glass waste. The known device comprises an inner container made of sheet steel, which is placed in a buried in the ground outer container. The inner container has a foldable bottom part and is closed by a lid on which a pillar has been set up, provided with control means for the bottom part, for example a linkage, a filling opening for depositing waste and a lifting eye. The inner container of the known device is emptied by this inner container is wound with lid from the outer container to the lifting eye with the help of a specially equipped lifting device which also cooperates with the operating means of the fold-out bottom part.

Die bekannte Vorrichtung zum unterirdisch Sammeln von Müll ist vor allem beabsichtigt zur Aufstellung an nur eine beschränkte Anzahl von zentralen Stellen zum getrennten Sammeln von wiederzuverwendenden Trockenabfällen.The known apparatus for underground collection of refuse is intended primarily for installation in only a limited number of central locations for separately collecting reusable dry waste.

Die bekannte Vorrichtung ist nicht - jedenfalls weniger - geeignet zur Anwendung beim Sammeln von teilweise nassen und übelriechenden Schüttabfällen, wie trockenem und nassem Verpackungsmaterial von Snacks oder anderen Esswaren, oder Wegwerfwindeln. Bedarf an Sammelvorrichtungen für solche Abfälle besteht zum Beispiel an Stellen, an denen sich Leute während längerer Zeit außerhalb der eigenen Wohnung haufenweise aufhalten, wie in Einkaufszentren, Erholungsparks, Schwimmbädern oder Besucherzentren in Naturgebieten. Obwohl an solchen Stellen, an denen Menschen sich konzentrieren, im allgemeinen oberirdische Abfallbehälter installiert wurden, ist das Entstehen von herumliegenden Abfällen ein allgemein auftretendes Phänomen, weil die Abfallbehälter zu klein sind, oder das Einwerfen von Abfall auf zu wenig sorgfältige Art und Weise stattfindet, so daß der Abfall neben den Abfallbehältern landet und dort vom Winde verweht wird. Das Kapazitätsproblem oberirdischer Abfallbehälter könnte gelöst werden indem man unterirdische Abfallbehälter installiert, welche aber in der bekannten Ausführungsform nicht zur Sammlung von nassen und übelriechenden Schüttabfällen geeignet sind, und die zu teuer sind zur Aufstellung in kurzen gegenseitigen Abständen in einer grossen Anzahl.The known device is not - at least less - suitable for use in collecting partially wet and foul-smelling bulk waste, such as dry and wet packaging material of snacks or other food, or disposable diapers. For example, there is a need for collection facilities for such waste in places where people spend a long time outside their own homes, such as shopping malls, recreation parks, swimming pools or visitor centers in nature areas. Although in such places, at Where people concentrate, in general aboveground litter bins have been installed, the generation of wastes lying around is a common phenomenon, because the litter bins are too small, or the throwing in of waste takes place too inappropriately, so that the litter beside the litter Garbage containers lands and is blown away by the wind. The capacity problem of above-ground waste containers could be solved by installing underground waste containers, which are not suitable in the known embodiment for collecting wet and foul-smelling bulk waste, and which are too expensive for installation in short mutual distances in a large number.

Aus DE-U-86 28 678 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Sammeln von Müll gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bekannt mit einen unterirdischen Behälter, einer Zufuhröffnung und einer Saugöffnung die obererdisch münden. Der unterirdischen Behälter hat ein Aufbau, der vorzugsweise an der Unterseite offen ist und mit der Zufuhröffnung in Verbindung steht. Der Aufbau ist mit einer Einlaßöffnung versehen und der Aufbau ist zwischen einem die Zufuhröffnung abschirmenden Stand und einem die Zufuhröffnung freilassenden Stand beweglich durch verdrehhung des Aufbaus. Eine solche Vorrichtung beansprucht immer noch viel Raum.From DE-U-86 28 678 a device for collecting refuse according to the preamble of claim 1 is known with an underground container, a feed opening and a suction opening open the upper ground. The underground container has a structure which is preferably open at the bottom and communicates with the supply port. The structure is provided with an inlet opening and the structure is movable between a stand shielding the feed opening and a stand leaving the feed opening movable by rotating the structure. Such a device still takes up much space.

Aus DE-U-9 004 988 ist eine Vorrichtung mit einem Außerbehälter, einem Innerbehälter und einem Deckel mit einer Säule bekannt.From DE-U-9 004 988 a device with a waste container, an inner container and a lid with a column is known.

Ziel der Erfindung ist die Verschaffung einer Vorrichtung zum unterirdisch Sammeln von Müll, welche zum dezentral Sammeln von Schüttabfall geeignet ist.The aim of the invention is to provide a device for underground collection of waste, which is suitable for decentralized collection of bulk waste.

Ein weiteres Ziel ist die Verschaffung einer Vorrichtung die einfach konstruiert ist und relativ billig beim Ankauf.Another goal is to provide a device that is simple in design and relatively cheap to buy.

Es ist zugleich ein Ziel eine Vorrichtung zu verschaffen, die einfach zu entleeren ist.It is also a goal to provide a device that is easy to empty.

Diese Ziele werden erreicht, und andere Vorteile werden erzielt, mit einer Vorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 1.These goals are achieved, and other benefits are achieved, with one Device according to claim 1.

Indem es ermöglicht wird eine Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung mittels einer Saugöffnung zu leeren, kann die Vorrichtung ganz einfach ausgeführt werden. Die Vorrichtung braucht nicht mehr aus dem Boden geholt zu werden, aber kann darin permanent eingegraben werden. Dadurch daß die Vorrichtung sich hauptsächlich unterirdisch befindet, beansprucht diese Vorrichtung wenig Raum, während diese andererseits viel Müll enthalten kann. Weiter wird der Abfall unterirdisch relativ kühl bleiben, so daß Geruchbildung beschränkt wird. Daneben ist eine Doppelkonstruktion mit Innen- und Außenbehälter überflüssig, ebenso wie ein Gestänge zum Bedienen eines ausklappbaren Bodens.By making it possible to empty a device according to the invention by means of a suction opening, the device can be easily carried out. The device no longer needs to be retrieved from the ground, but can be permanently buried therein. The fact that the device is mainly underground, this device takes up little space, while on the other hand may contain a lot of waste. Further, the waste will remain relatively cool underground so that odor formation is limited. In addition, a double construction with inner and outer container is superfluous, as well as a linkage for operating a fold-out floor.

Mit hauptsächlich unterirdisch bleibend wird gemäß der Erfindung gemeint, daß der Behälter größtenteils unter dem Mähfeld eingegraben wird. Hier durch beansprucht die Vorrichtung wenig Raum. Mit bleibend wird hierbei gemeint, daß die Konstruktion nicht derartig ist, daß es die Absicht ist, daß die Vorrichtung vielfach aus dem Boden geholt werden kann und wird.By remaining mostly subterranean it is meant according to the invention that the container is largely buried under the mowing field. Here The device takes up little space. By "permanent" it is meant that the construction is not such that it is the intention that the device can and often be retrieved from the ground.

Die Zufuhröffnung ist auch die Saugöffnung. Hierdurch ist eine kompakte und vorteilhafte Konstruktion möglich, die sehr einfach zu unterhalten und zu leeren ist.The feed opening is also the suction opening. As a result, a compact and advantageous construction is possible, which is very easy to maintain and empty.

Um zu verhüten, daß zum Beispiel Wasser einfach in die Vorrichtung geraten kann, wie auch im Zusammenhang mit der Sicherheit, ist der Aufbau eine Säule die diese Saugöffnung abschirmt, vorzugsweise gegen vertikallen Zugang abschirmt. Hierbei geht es dann vor allem um Abschirmung der Öffnungen gegen direkten Zugang.To prevent that, for example, water can easily get into the device, as well as in connection with the security, the structure of a column which shields this suction opening, preferably shields against vertical access. This is mainly about shielding the openings against direct access.

Um die Saugöffnung für die Saugmittel freizumachen, ist die Säule an ihrer Unterseite mit einem Scharnier versehen wodurch die Säule umklappbar ist. In einer praktisch vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist die Säule dadurch an seiner Unterseite scharnierbar mit dem Behälter gekoppelt.To free the suction opening for the suction means, the column is provided on its underside with a hinge whereby the column is folded down. In a practically advantageous embodiment, the column is thereby hingedly coupled at its bottom to the container.

In der Praxis ist es vorteilhaft wenn die Säule mit zumindest einer vorzugsweise mit einer Klappe versehenen Einlaßöffnung in einer stehenden Wand ausgestattet ist. Hierdurch kann Geruchsbelästigung verhütet werden.In practice, it is advantageous if the column is equipped with at least one preferably provided with a flap inlet opening in a standing wall. This can be odor nuisance be prevented.

Die Vorrichtung kann zwischen der Säule und Behälter Abdichtungsmittel, zum Beispiel einen Gummiring umfassen, um zu verhüten daß (Regen)wasser in den Behälter fließen kann.The device may include sealing means, for example a rubber ring, between the column and container to prevent water from (rain) flowing into the container.

Die Vorrichtung wird benutzt in enger Zusammenwirkung mit einer mit Saugmitteln versehenen Saugvorrichtung. Hierbei hat es den Vorzug wenn die Saugvorrichtung mobil ist. Um die Vorrichtung gut aussaugen zu können, ist der Diameter der Saugmittel kleiner als der Diameter der Saugöffnung für die Bildung einer Lufteinlaßöffnung.The device is used in close cooperation with an aspirated suction device. Here it has the advantage when the suction device is mobile. In order to be able to suck the device well, the diameter of the suction means is smaller than the diameter of the suction opening for the formation of an air inlet opening.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auch, auf ein Verfahren zum Leeren der Vorrichtung mittels einer Saugvorrichtung mit Saugmittel. Das Verfahren ist auf Vorteilhafte Weise auszuführen, wenn die Saugmittel ein Saugrohr oder -schlauch umfassen. Vorzugsweise ist die Saugvorrichtung mobil, und wird die mobilen Saugvorrichtung zum Abfallbehälter gebracht.The invention also relates to a method for emptying the device by means of a suction device with suction means. The method is to be carried out in an advantageous manner when the suction means comprise a suction tube or hose. Preferably, the suction device mobile, and the mobile suction device is brought to the waste container.

Der unterirdische Behälter ist hauptsächlich aus Beton hergestellt. Das ist billig, dauerhaft und nassen und sauren Abfällen gewachsen. Ein derartiger Behälter aus Beton ist nicht oder aber mühsam aus dem Boden zu entfernen. Der Behälter hat, im Zusammenhang mit einfacher Reinigung, eine zylindrische Form.The underground tank is mainly made of concrete. That's cheap, durable and wet and sour waste grown. Such a container made of concrete is not or difficult to remove from the ground. The container has a cylindrical shape in connection with easy cleaning.

Die Säule hat vorzugsweise eine mit der Saugöffnung des Behälters korrespondierende Unterseite. Abdichtungsmittel können zwischen der Unterseite der Säule und der Oberseite des Behälters angebracht sein, wodurch der Behälter nicht oder aber in geringerem Maße für (Regen)wasser zugänglich wird, das dadurch nicht hereintröpfeln kann.The column preferably has a bottom corresponding to the suction opening of the container. Sealing means may be mounted between the bottom of the column and the top of the container, whereby the container is not accessible or to a lesser extent for (rain) water, which thereby can not trickle.

Um die Saugmittel Zugang zum Behälter zu verschaffen ist die Säule an ihrer Unterseite scharnierbar mit dem Behälter gekoppelt. Weiter wird die Säule hauptsächlich durch einen Deckelteil gebildet und eine von diesem Deckelteil abstehende in Umfangsrichtung hauptsächlich geschlossene Wand, und ist diese mit einer Einlaßöffnung versehen, die vorzugsweise in einer stehenden Wand der Säule gebildet ist. Die Säule hat jedenfalls von der Einlaßöffnung in Abwärtsrichtung eine sich ausweitende Form. Hierdurch bleiben keine Abfälle im Innern der Säule hängen und kann die Vorrichtung also nicht verstopft werden.To provide the suction means access to the container, the column is hinged at its bottom hinged to the container. Further, the column is mainly constituted by a lid member and a peripheral wall of this substantially protruding wall projecting from this lid member, and this is provided with an inlet opening, which is preferably formed in a standing wall of the column. In any case, the column has an expanding shape from the inlet opening in the downward direction. As a result, no waste stuck in the interior of the column and the device can therefore not be clogged.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Vorrichtung 1 zum unterirdisch Sammeln von Müll, mit einem in den Boden gerade unter dem Mähfeld 4 versunkenen Behälter 2 und einen sich über dem Mähfeld erstreckenden Aufbau, hier in der Form einer Säule 3, die auf den Oberrand des Behälters 2 installiert wurde. Hierdurch wird die Zufuhröffnung 16, die hier zugleich Saugöffnung ist, abgeschirmt. Der Behälter 2 wurde aus einem zylinderförmigen Unterteil aus Beton mit einem Boden 15 und einer aufstehenden Wand 5 die einen im Längsschnitt stufenförmigen Oberrand 6 hat zusammengesetzt, und einen ebenso zylinderförmigen Betonoberteil 7 hat der auf den Oberrand 6 des unteren Teiles installiert wurde, und der an seiner Oberseite zapfenförmig auf einen Metallumfangsrand 8 zuläuft, auf dessen Oberseite eine abgestumpfte kegelförmige hohle Säule 3 als Aufbau angestellt wurde. Der Behälter ist bleibend im Boden aufgestellt. Die offene Oberseite des Behälters 2 bildet eine durch die Säule 3 abschließbare oder abschirmbare Saugöffnung 16 für eine Saugleitung. Der mit dem Umfangsrand 8 ausgestattete Oberteil 7 ist Vorzügsweise eine an sich bekannte Konstruktion, die für Gullys angewandt wird, und deshalb in kommerziellem Maßstab in verschiedenen Durchmessern und Höhen sofort lieferbar ist. Die Säule 3 hat einen sphäri-schen festen Deckel 13 und eine sich abwärts ausweitende Wand 14, und ist an ihrer Unterseite durch ein Scharnier 9 und eine diesem Scharnier 9 gegenüber befestigte Schließkonstruktion 10, zum Beispiel mit Hilfe eines Hängeschloßes, mit dem Rand 8 verbunden, ausgestattet mit einem Umfangsring aus Gummi 11 zwischen Säule 3 und Rand 8 zu einer wasserdichten Abdichtung. Die Oberseite der Säule 3 wurde mit einem Einlaßöffnung 12 versehen der durch eine Klappe abgeschlossen wird, die an ein Scharnier (nicht gezeigt) an der Innenseite der Säule 3 aufgehängt wurde. Um das Einwerfen von Müll in die Säule zu erleichtern, wurde die Klappe mit einem sich radial von Säule 3 erstreckenden Stellgriff (nicht gezeigt) ausgestattet. Die konische Form der Säule 3 gewährleistet daß eingeworfene Abfälle nicht in der Säule stecken bleiben, sondern immer in den Behälter 2 geraten. Der Behälter 2 kann auf einfache Weise mit Hilfe einer dazu bestimmten Saugvorrichtung entleert werden.FIG. 1 shows a device 1 for collecting garbage underground, with a container 2 sunk into the ground just below the mowing field 4 and a superstructure extending above the mowing field, here in the form of a column 3 installed on the upper edge of the container 2 has been. As a result, the supply opening 16, which is here also suction opening, shielded. The container 2 was composed of a cylindrical base made of concrete with a bottom 15 and an upstanding wall 5 which has a longitudinally stepped upper edge 6, and a likewise cylindrical concrete shell 7 has been installed on the upper edge 6 of the lower part, and the its top cone-shaped on a metal peripheral edge 8 tapers, on the upper side a truncated conical hollow column 3 was made as a structure. The container is permanently installed in the ground. The open top of the container 2 forms a sealable or shieldable by the column 3 suction port 16 for a suction line. The upper part 7 equipped with the peripheral edge 8 is, for example, a construction known per se which is used for gullies and therefore can be supplied immediately on a commercial scale in various diameters and heights. The column 3 has a spherical fixed lid 13 and a downwardly widening wall 14, and is connected on its underside by a hinge 9 and this hinge 9 opposite fastened closure structure 10, for example by means of a padlock, with the edge 8 equipped with a rubber peripheral ring 11 between column 3 and edge 8 to a watertight seal. The top of the column 3 was provided with an inlet port 12 which is closed by a flap which has been hung on a hinge (not shown) on the inside of the column 3. To throw trash into the column To facilitate the flap was equipped with a radially extending from column 3 control handle (not shown). The conical shape of the column 3 ensures that thrown waste does not get stuck in the column, but always fall into the container 2. The container 2 can be emptied easily by means of a suction device intended for this purpose.

In Figur 2 ist zu sehen wie die Vorrichtung in Figur 1 beschrieben, für die Saugmittel zugänglich gemacht werden kan, um den Behälter 2 zu leeren. Hierzu wird die Verriegelung oder das Schloß freigemacht und kippt die Säule 3 über Scharnier 9 offen.FIG. 2 shows how the device described in FIG. 1 can be made accessible for the suction means in order to empty the container 2. For this purpose, the lock or the lock is cleared and tilts the column 3 via hinge 9 open.

Um den Behälter 2 zu entleeren, wird das Schloß 10 geöffnet und wird die Säule 3 um das Scharnier 9 (in der Figur linksherum) gekippt, womit die Oberseite von dem Behälter 2 freikommt zum Einlassen des Schlauches der Saugvorrichtung. Die Säule kommt hierdurch in eine liegende Position. Wenn die Säule zeitweilig entfernt werden muß, zum Beispiel zwecks Wartungs- oder Reparaturarbeiten, oder zur Außerbetriebsetzung von Vorrichtung 1, kann die Säule 3 durch einen an sich bekannten Gullydeckel ersetzt werden, der auf den Umfangsrand 8 gelegt wird.In order to empty the container 2, the lock 10 is opened and the column 3 is tilted about the hinge 9 (in the figure to the left), whereby the top of the container 2 is released for admitting the hose of the suction device. The column is thus in a lying position.
