Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for collecting articles, in particular of bottles or the like in a collection container, said device comprising obstacles placed on the fall path direct and directed towards each other at different heights.
  • the invention also relates to a collection container in which obstacles are placed on the direct fall path and directed towards each other at different heights.
  • bottle recycling systems is the device described in US Pat. No. 5,154,276, in which the bottles along a tube upright on a plate particular cushioning, from which they are transferred, one by one, on a conveyor to further processing. It is a system intended for use in stores, i.e., not a container own collection.
  • Collection containers glass come in two types: such where glass items undergo drop directly and are allowed to break to allow reuse suitably from the glass material they contain, and such where one wishes to keep them intact so that they can be used again for the same purpose as before.
  • An example of the first type of collection container is the patent application European No 376220, in which the introduction opening is provided a particular crusher which is rotated by a motor.
  • the second type collection containers to be emptied periodically, making the object of the present invention are intended for beverage bottles which are recycled for filling.
  • a collection container typical already known, designed for this use, is in the form of a sort of chest, in which are horizontally arranged braking elements to prevent free fall.
  • a good example of such a container is the German patent No 4210040 which includes wide brake bands arranged horizontally and with flexible slots that allow bottles to pass and fall. These obstacles do not produce in a controlled manner the drop nor the housing of the bottles in the container, and in addition, they occupy a lot of space in the horizontal direction. He is not possible to make such a collection container that would be deep.
  • German utility certificate No G8531211 describes a device for brake placed inside a bottle collection container.
  • This device comprises a central pole arranged in a centered position relative to the container and having several plates around this in the form of a spiral staircase.
  • the bottles are intended for fall from one plate to another.
  • German utility certificate No G8136127 describes a braking device in which obstacles directed towards each other are fixed respectively on the pole central and on the inner wall.
  • the bottle falling into the container first hits a convex obstacle fixed on the pole central, on which it bounces towards an annular obstacle which extends along the inner wall of the container. After bouncing on the annular obstacle, the bottle falls on the bottom of the container.
  • a kind of cabinet for collecting bottles is known by published French patent application No. 2558047.
  • the fall is prevented here by half-shells hinged on the walls interior of the cabinet, which during their descent allow the drop the bottle to the next level.
  • the system is susceptible to disruption, and in addition, here too the interior of the collection space is fully covered by these braking elements.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a new device which makes it possible to drop fragile glassware, including bottles, in a controlled manner in a container, which also allows increasing the depth of the container and improving collection efficiency without leading to overly complex solutions.
  • the device is mainly characterized in that that the obstacles are sliding or rolling surfaces alternately inclined in opposite directions from top to bottom, these surfaces together covering part of the cross-sectional area container horizontal.
  • the bottles or similar items susceptible to damage can be guided down in a controlled manner. Their path is not accidental, but follows the path determined by these surfaces. The short fall between sliding and rolling surfaces is not capable of causing damage to the bottle or the like.
  • the guide surfaces are not located only on part of the horizontal section of the container, being thus compact. The guide surfaces are attached to their support structure in fixed position at predetermined inclination.
  • the container according to the invention is, for its part, characterized in that the obstacles are sliding and rolling surfaces inclined in alternating in opposite directions from top to bottom, these surfaces being arranged adjacent to the edge of the container so as not to cover only part of the area of the horizontal section of the container.
  • FIG. 1 shows the front of the device in perspective.
  • the device comprises a frame 1 in the shape of a rectangle, seen from the front, at means by which the device can be mounted in a container bottle collection.
  • the chassis is curved to adapt to the shape of the collection container having a circular horizontal section. The mounting of the device in the collection container will be described below.
  • the chassis 1 comprises vertical bars 1a, the bars furthest from the middle form the long sides of the rectangle.
  • the upper and lower ends of the chassis have curved slats 1b or the like.
  • Guide plates 2 are fixed to the frame 1.
  • the faces upper plates constitute sliding faces and bearing for the bottles which are introduced into the container of collect in such a way that they fall into it.
  • the sliding faces and bearing are referred to below as the guide faces for brevity.
  • Figure 2 shows schematically the operation of the device, illustrating in a simplified way the structure of the device.
  • the plates are inclined downwards and towards the lower plate which follows in a vertical direction, so that the plate 2 on which the bottle P arrives guides the bottle to the bottom plate, from where it goes still be guided to the next bottom plate.
  • the bottle is like this transferred in stages downwards until it reaches the bottom of the container or on the upper side of already accumulated bottles in the container.
  • the guide plates form in this way by their upper faces the successive guide faces 2a in vertical direction, which constitute a transfer path to guide the bottles placed in the collection container from top to bottom in a controlled manner without them breaking.
  • the surfaces of guide 2a of the plates are straight or they have straight parts successive which connect angularly.
  • the transfer path works as follows: The bottle slides or rolls on a guide plate 2 inclined towards the next guide, and then falls by the bottom edge of this plate on the next guide plate, along which it slides or rolls to the next lower guide plate.
  • the plates of guides arranged in stages at different heights are inclined respectively to the next plate, except for the last plate, which slopes towards the bottom of the collection container.
  • the most advantageous guide plates 2 in the device according to the invention is such that on the transfer path from top to bottom, the guide plates 2 and therefore guide surfaces 2a are tilted alternately in opposite directions.
  • the plates of guide thus have the slope towards the middle, and they are placed in two vertical rows A and B.
  • the inclination direction of the plates is always the same in the same row and opposite to that of the plates from the next row.
  • the plates 2 of the adjacent rows are mutually offset.
  • the plates 2 are directed one against the others towards the middle, and the bottle thus moves along of an upper guide plate 2 of the first row A, falls then on a lower guide plate 2 of the second row B, where it stops, after which it changes its direction again displacement towards the middle and towards a lower guide plate A from the first row A, where it again changes its direction towards the middle, and in this way a zigzag transfer route is formed from the top to bottom.
  • a zigzag transfer route is formed from the top to bottom.
  • the slope of the guide plates 2 in the area where the bottle makes its run down it down is gentle enough that they do not go down at too high a speed.
  • the slope is preferably less than 45 degrees.
  • the guide plates can be completely straight.
  • Figure 1 shows the folding of the plate made in the inclined area so that the plate has a more inclined part stiff upper and a softer lower inclined part, which gives rigidity to the plate.
  • the guide plates 2 can be fixed in practice to the chassis in the respective vertical row A or B between the extreme vertical bar 1a and the middle vertical bar 1a.
  • the Figures 1 and 3 also show that the upper edge of the plates guide 2, i.e. the edge which is in the highest position due to the slope or inclination of the guide surface, ends with a rim 2b more vertical than the rest of the plate. This rim can be formed by folding the edge of the plate upwards. AT using the edge formed by the rim 2b, the guide plate 2 can be fixed to the extreme vertical bar 1a of the chassis 1.
  • Figures 1 and 3 also show how it is possible to fold the bottom edge of plate 2 down so that the plate can be fixed with this one at the vertical center bar 1a.
  • Mainly Figures 4 and 5 show how chassis 1 can be formed of two partial frames which are curved in section horizontal.
  • a corresponding vertical row of plates guide 2, A or B, is fixed to each of the partial frames.
  • Chassis partials are joined by their extreme vertical bars 1a, which therefore become the vertical center bars 1 a of chassis 1, and the guide plates 2 are thus positioned correctly in relation to each other.
  • Figure 4 shows that the edges of the adjacent guide plates 2 to chassis 1 are curved, following the curvature of chassis 1.
  • the bottle route P in horizontal plane is curved.
  • the guide surfaces are gently sloping towards the free edge of the guide plate, the corresponding angle measuring only about 3 to 5 degrees.
  • Figure 4 again shows how the plates in rows A, B do not overlap, but a gap remains between their lower edges vertically.
  • P bottles have a speed sufficient for them to pass through the slot at the bottom edge of the guide surface 2a and fall obliquely on the surface of next guide 2a. However, it is possible that these lower edges overlap.
  • Figure 4 shows how the device can be mounted in the collection container in a auxiliary container 4 (part of the wall of the auxiliary container being illustrated by broken line), which can be lifted out of the container and emptied by the bottom part in a known manner, as described in the Finnish patent No 87064 and European patent No 425547.
  • the auxiliary container can be for example a bag which is fixed to the chassis 1 in a suitable manner, for example by means of screws or bolts or the like.
  • the device is however suitable for being placed in such a container where there is no auxiliary container.
  • Figure 6 shows how the device can be located in the collection container 3 proper.
  • the device is located eccentric to the container and only covers one certain part of the area of the horizontal section of the container, the part of which is clearly less than half of this area.
  • the device has approximately the shape of a sector of a circle, seen from above, the upper edges of the plates 2 being roughly oriented modo radially towards the center of the container.
  • the direction of the slope guide surfaces 2a is thus parallel to the periphery of the container, that is to say, the bottles make their alternative route parallel to the periphery, seen from above.
  • the bottles can flow elsewhere in the container, and the container is going to be gradually filled with bottles, also in the region of the plates of guidance 2.
  • FIG. 6 again illustrates how the device is placed so as to arrange the guide plate 2 which is in position the higher directly below a filling opening 5, which is in the cover of the collection container 3, to avoid any possibility of a free fall vertically to the bottom.
  • the cover covering the collection space for bottles or similar is closed elsewhere so bottles can fall only on this guide plate 2 which is in the most high.
  • the device is well suited for large collection containers depth, for example having a free fall distance greater than 1.5 m.
  • the number of guide plates 2 at different heights is three or more in such devices, the first vertical row A having at least two guide plates 2 and the second row vertical B at least one.
  • the device is particularly suitable for collection containers in which the largest dimension is in the direction of height.
  • An example of containers like this are the containers conforming to European patent No 425547. In these containers, part of the garbage collection space is below of the ground.
  • the device can be arranged in the interior of such collection container, for example in an auxiliary container placed in the container and emptied by the bottom part which can be opened and closed.
  • the device can however apply to containers of surface, which are placed above the ground and which can be less Tops.
  • the guide surfaces that guide bottles down can be composed of structures other than the upper faces of the plates.
  • the same guide plates 2 are closed in the examples previous, but they can also be perforated.
  • the surfaces guide 2a can also be constituted by structures so a sufficiently tight net (reticular structures), which have the slope as described above.
  • the net can be made by example in reinforced plastic.
  • Building material suitable for chassis 1 and guide plates 2 is metal.
  • the upper face of the guide plates is preferably covered with a sound absorbing material, such as plastic.
  • Guide plates 2 can also be produced plastic, such as reinforced composite plastic.
  • Frame 1 was previously described as curved, but it can also be straight, for example in the case where the container wall own collection is straight, for example when the container of collection has a square or rectangular shape in section through a plane horizontal.
  • the chassis 1 can thus be located parallel to one of the container walls, and also in this case can be inside an auxiliary container to be lifted which is standing against one side of the collection container.
  • the chassis to which the obstacles have been attached can be installed in the container in one or more parts. It can be placed in existing collection containers is attached indirectly or directly to a wall structure or cover of the container.
