Description

Benne pour la collecte et le transport d'une charge du type déchets ménagers. Tipper for collecting and transporting a load of household waste type.
La présente invention concerne une benne pour la collecte et le transport d'une charge du type déchets ménagers.The present invention relates to a bucket for collecting and transporting a load of the household waste type.
Elle se rapporte plus particulièrement à une benne pour la collecte et le transport de déchets, associée notamment à un véhicule ou à une remorque et qui est munie d'un dispositif de compactage desdits déchets de manière à réduire ces derniers et à charger un maximum de déchets dans un minimum de volume.It relates more particularly to a skip for collecting and transporting waste, associated in particular with a vehicle or a trailer and which is provided with a device for compacting said waste so as to reduce the latter and to load a maximum of waste in a minimum of volume.
On connaît déjà, notamment par la demande de brevet français FR-A-2 759 988 déposée le 27 février 1997 par le présent demandeur, dans laquelle il est décrit une benne du type décrit ci- dessus qui est pourvue d'un bouclier fouloir mobile sous l'action d'un vérin destiné à compacter les déchets, ce dernier étant muni dans sa partie supérieure d'un volet composé d'une poutre transversale solidaire de deux bras parallèles pivotant sous l'action d'un vérin de manière à comprimer les déchets en direction du fond.We already know, in particular from French patent application FR-A-2 759 988 filed on February 27, 1997 by the present applicant, in which there is described a bucket of the type described above which is provided with a movable gland shield under the action of a jack intended to compact the waste, the latter being provided in its upper part with a flap composed of a transverse beam secured to two parallel arms pivoting under the action of a jack so as to compress waste towards the bottom.
Ce type de dispositif de compactage donne satisfaction; cependant pour des déchets légers, par exemple du type bouteilles en plastique, il s'avère que ces derniers, lors des phases notamment de chargement des déchets, collectés au préalable dans des containers, dans la benne ou encore lors du compactage, s'envolent en dehors de la benne entraînant ainsi pour l'opérateur un ramassage manuel de tous ces déchets évacués.This type of compacting device is satisfactory; however, for light waste, for example of the plastic bottle type, it turns out that the latter, during the phases in particular of loading the waste, collected beforehand in containers, in the bucket or even during compaction outside the bucket thus causing the operator to manually collect all this evacuated waste.
Le but de la présente invention est de remédier à l'inconvénient mentionné ci-dessus.The object of the present invention is to remedy the drawback mentioned above.
A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet une benne pour la collecte et le transport d'une charge du type déchets ménagers, constituée d'un fond, de deux parois latérales, d'une paroi avant, d'une porte arrière formant réceptacle, et d'un toit recouvrant la majeur partie arrière dudit réceptacle de façon à ménager une ouverture dans la partie avant de la benne pour le chargement de la charge, ladite benne étant munie d'une paroi sensiblement verticale mobile dans le fond de celle-ci sous l 'action d'un vérin, caractérisée en ce qu' elle comporte un dispositif de compactage de la charge en direction notamment du fond qui est constitué d' un premier volet articulé autour d'un axe transversal situé dans la partie supérieure de ladite paroi verticale mobile et d'un second volet articulé autour d'un axe transversal situé à l' extrémité amont du toit au droit de l'ouverture, ces volets étant aptes à pivoter autour de leur axe respectif entre une première position d'ouverture pour le chargement de la charge et une seconde position de fermeture pour le compactage de ladite charge sous l'action respective d' au moins un vérin, et en ce que lesdits volets sont conformés de telle sorte qu'en position d'ouverture ces derniers forment une trémie pour le chargement de la charge.For this purpose, the present invention relates to a bucket for the collection and transport of a load of the household waste type, consisting of a bottom, two side walls, a front wall, a rear door forming receptacle, and a roof covering the major rear part of said receptacle so as to provide an opening in the front part of the bucket for loading the load, said bucket being provided with a substantially vertical wall movable in the bottom of that -ci under the action of a jack, characterized in that it comprises a device for compacting the load in particular towards the bottom which is constituted by a first flap articulated around a transverse axis located in the upper part of said movable vertical wall and of a second flap articulated around a transverse axis located at the upstream end of the roof to the right of the opening, these flaps being suitable for pivot around their respective axis between a first open position for loading the load and a second closed position for compacting said load under the respective action of at least one jack, and in that said flaps are shaped so that in the open position they form a hopper for loading the load.

On a représenté à la figure 1 , un véhicule routier 1 pour la collecte des déchets, par exemple du type bouteilles en plastique, qui, de façon connue, comporte un châssis 2, une cabine avant 3 de conduite, des roues 4 entraînées par un moteur pour permettre son déplacement. Le châssis 2 porte à l'arrière, de manière connue, une benne 5 constituée d'un fond 6, de deux parois latérales 7, d'une paroi avant 8, d'une porte arrière 9 formant ensemble un réceptacle, et d'un toit 10 recouvrant la majeure partie arrière dudit réceptacle, comme visible plus clairement sur la figure 1 , de façon à ménager une ouverture 1 1 dans la partie avant de la benne 5 pour le chargement des déchets ou charge.FIG. 1 shows a road vehicle 1 for collecting waste, for example of the plastic bottle type, which, in known manner, comprises a chassis 2, a front cab 3 for driving, wheels 4 driven by a motor to allow its displacement. The chassis 2 carries at the rear, in a known manner, a bucket 5 consisting of a bottom 6, two side walls 7, a front wall 8, a rear door 9 together forming a receptacle, and a roof 10 covering the major rear part of said receptacle, as more clearly visible in Figure 1, so as to provide an opening 1 1 in the front part of the bucket 5 for loading waste or load.
La benne 5 est disposée sur un berceau 12 et articulée dans sa partie arrière à celui-ci, autour d'un axe transversal 13, de manière à permettre le basculement de la benne 5 autour de cet axe 13 sous l'action d'un vérin 14, lors des phases de vidage de la benne.The bucket 5 is arranged on a cradle 12 and articulated in its rear part thereto, about a transverse axis 13, so as to allow the tilting of the bucket 5 around this axis 13 under the action of a cylinder 14, during the emptying phases of the bucket.
Le berceau 12 est maintenu sur le châssis 2 par l'intermédiaire d'une ferrure 15 qui sera décrite plus en détail dans la suite de la description.The cradle 12 is held on the chassis 2 by means of a fitting 15 which will be described in more detail in the following description.
Ce châssis 2 comporte également, de manière connue, entre la cabine 3 et la benne 5 un moyen de levage 16, du type grue, des différents containers 17 ou colonne de collecte de déchets.This chassis 2 also comprises, in a known manner, between the cabin 3 and the bucket 5 a lifting means 16, of the crane type, of the various containers 17 or waste collection column.
La benne 5 est munie d'une paroi sensiblement verticale 18, désignée dans la suite de la description bouclier fouloir, qui est mobile dans le fond 6 de celle-ci sous l'action du vérin 14. Ce bouclier fouloir 18 est prolongé longitudinalement vers la porte arrière 9, dans sa partie basse de manière symétrique par rapport à un axe longitudinal médian par un tunnel 19 dans lequel est logé le vérin 14, comme visible plus clairement sur la figure 1 . Le vérin 14 est, de manière classique, constitué d'un corps 20 fixé à l'une de ces extrémités autour d'une articulation 21 solidaire du berceau 12 et d'une tige 22 dont l'extrémité libre de celle-ci est fixée au tunnel 14.The bucket 5 is provided with a substantially vertical wall 18, designated in the following description of the gland shield, which is movable in the bottom 6 thereof under the action of the jack 14. This gland shield 18 is extended longitudinally towards the rear door 9, in its lower part symmetrically with respect to a median longitudinal axis by a tunnel 19 in which the jack 14 is housed, as more clearly visible in FIG. 1. The jack 14 is, in a conventional manner, constituted by a body 20 fixed at one of these ends around a joint 21 secured to the cradle 12 and a rod 22 whose free end of the latter is fixed at tunnel 14.
On notera qu'au droit de ce tunnel 19 en position bouclier fouloir 18 repoussé contre la paroi avant 8, le fond de la benne est muni d'une ouverture 23 de manière à permettre le passage et les débattements du vérin 14.It will be noted that at the right of this tunnel 19 in the gland shield position 18 pushed against the front wall 8, the bottom of the bucket is provided with an opening 23 so as to allow the passage and the deflections of the jack 14.
L'extrémité aval 24 du tunnel 19, en considérant la figure 1 , est guidée par une poutre 25 ayant par exemple la forme générale d'un « I » qui est disposée longitudinalement suivant l'axe médian de ladite benne, dans la partie arrière sur le fond de cette dernière.The downstream end 24 of the tunnel 19, considering FIG. 1, is guided by a beam 25 having for example the general shape of a "I" which is arranged longitudinally along the median axis of said bucket, in the rear part on the bottom of the latter.
Des moyens de verrouillage 30 destinés à sélectionner soit le déplacement du bouclier fouloir 1 8 longitudinalement dans la benne soit un bennage, comme représenté sur la figure 7, sont disposés à l'avant de la benne.Locking means 30 for selecting either the displacement of the gland shield 1 8 longitudinally in the bucket or a dump body, as shown in Figure 7, are arranged in front of the bucket.
Ces moyens de verrouillage 30 sont constitués de verrous 31 , 32 respectivement destinés à s'engager dans des orifices 3 1 a, 32a réalisés dans des chapes, comme représenté sur les figures 5 et 6, qui sont déplaçables transversalement sous l'action d'un levier de commande 33 de manière à verrouiller soit l' avant de la benne avec le berceau en engageant les verrous 31 (figure 5) soit le bouclier fouloir 18 avec la benne en engageant les verrous 32 (figure 6).These locking means 30 consist of latches 31, 32 respectively intended to engage in orifices 3 1a, 32a produced in yokes, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, which are movable transversely under the action of a control lever 33 so as to lock either the front of the bucket with the cradle by engaging the latches 31 (FIG. 5) or the gland shield 18 with the bucket by engaging the latches 32 (FIG. 6).
Selon la présente invention, la benne 5 comporte un dispositif de compactage 40 de la charge en direction notamment du fond 6.According to the present invention, the bucket 5 comprises a device 40 for compacting the load in the direction in particular of the bottom 6.
Ce dispositif de compactage 40 est constitué d'un premier voletThis compacting device 40 consists of a first flap
41 articulé autour d'un axe transversal 42 situé dans la partie supérieure du bouclier fouloir 1 8 et d'un second volet 43 articulé autour d'un axe transversal 44 solidaire de l' extrémité amont 45 du toit 10 au droit de l' ouverture 1 1 .41 articulated around a transverse axis 42 located in the upper part of the gland shield 1 8 and a second flap 43 articulated around a transverse axis 44 secured to the upstream end 45 of the roof 10 to the right of the opening 1 1.
Ces volets 41 et 43 sont aptes à pivoter autour de leur axe 42,These flaps 41 and 43 are able to pivot about their axis 42,
44 respectif entre une première position d'ouverture, comme visible à la figure 1 , pour le chargement de la charge et une seconde position de fermeture (figures 3 et 4) pour le compactage de ladite charge sous l' action respective d' au moins un vérin.44 respectively between a first open position, as visible in FIG. 1, for loading the load and a second closed position (FIGS. 3 and 4) for compacting said load under the respective action of at least a jack.
Chacun de ces volets 41 , 43 sont conformés de telle sorte qu'en position d'ouverture ces derniers forment une trémie pour le chargement de la charge de manière à guider l'écoulement des déchets dans la benne.Each of these flaps 41, 43 are shaped so that in the open position the latter form a hopper for loading the load so as to guide the flow of waste in the bucket.
Le premier volet 41 est avantageusement constitué d'une paroi transversale 44 ayant l'une de ses extrémités articulée autour de l'axeThe first flap 41 advantageously consists of a transverse wall 44 having one of its ends articulated around the axis
42 et l'autre de ses extrémités qui est rabattue vers l'extérieur suivant un angle d'environ 30 degrés de façon à obtenir deux faces 50, 5 1 de compactage des déchets, lorsque ce volet 41 se trouve en position de fermeture, comme visible sur la figure 4.42 and the other of its ends which is folded outwards at an angle of approximately 30 degrees so as to obtain two faces 50, 5 1 for compacting the waste, when this flap 41 is in the closed position, as can be seen in FIG. 4.
Ce premier volet 41 est commandé par l'intermédiaire de deux vérins 52, 53 disposés longitudinalement par rapport à la benne. Chacun de ces vérins 52, 53 est constitué d'un corps relié à la partie supérieure du bouclier fouloir 18 et d'une tige reliée à l'extrémité rabattue de la paroi transversale 44.This first flap 41 is controlled by means of two jacks 52, 53 arranged longitudinally relative to the bucket. Each of these jacks 52, 53 consists of a body connected to the upper part of the gland shield 18 and of a rod connected to the folded end of the transverse wall 44.
Le premier volet 41 est également pourvu au voisinage de l'articulation 42 d'un clapet 60 -ou volet- articulé de façon libre autour d'un axe transversal 60a parallèle à l'axe d'articulation 42.The first flap 41 is also provided in the vicinity of the articulation 42 with a valve 60 - or flap - articulated freely around a transverse axis 60a parallel to the articulation axis 42.
Ce clapet 60 s'étend verticalement en direction du fond de la benne en position d'ouverture du premier volet 41 et est destiné à être repoussé vers l'avant de la benne par les déchets de manière à obstruer l'espace 62 formé entre l'articulation du volet 41 et le bouclier fouloir 18 afin d'éviter les remontés des déchets par ledit espace 62 sur le dessus du volet lors notamment d'une phase de compactage de ses déchets.This valve 60 extends vertically towards the bottom of the bucket in the open position of the first flap 41 and is intended to be pushed towards the front of the bucket by the waste so as to obstruct the space 62 formed between the hinge of the flap 41 and the gland shield 18 in order to avoid the waste being raised by said space 62 on the top of the flap during in particular a phase of compacting its waste.
Le second volet 43 comprend un premier élément 54 constitué d'une paroi transversale et d'un second élément 55 constitué également d'une paroi transversale articulée autour d'un axe A parallèle à l'axe 44 du premier élément 54 et apte a être repliable sur ce dernier 54.The second flap 43 comprises a first element 54 consisting of a transverse wall and a second element 55 also consisting of a transverse wall articulated around an axis A parallel to the axis 44 of the first element 54 and able to be foldable on the latter 54.
Ce premier élément 54 est monté articulé autour de l'axe transversale 44 et est apte à se mouvoir autour de cet axe par l'intermédiaire de deux vérins 56 disposés de part et d'autre de la benne, comme visible à la figure 8, et ayant chacun l'extrémité du corps du vérin solidaire d'une paroi latérale et la tige du vérin reliée à l'un des bords latéraux du premier élément 54.This first element 54 is mounted articulated around the transverse axis 44 and is able to move around this axis by means of two jacks 56 arranged on either side of the bucket, as visible in FIG. 8, and each having the end of the body of the jack fixed to a side wall and the rod of the jack connected to one of the side edges of the first element 54.
On notera que le second élément est également apte à prendre une première position d'ouverture par rapport au premier élément 54 et une seconde position de fermeture dans laquelle le premier et le second élément sont rabattus l'un sur l'autre, comme visible aux figures 3 et 4, par l'intermédiaire par exemple de vérins 57 disposés, comme visible sur les figures 1 à 8, entre les deux éléments 54, 55. Le fonctionnement du dispositif de compactage de la présente invention va maintenant être décrit en relation avec les figures 1 à 7.It will be noted that the second element is also able to take a first open position relative to the first element 54 and a second closed position in which the first and the second element are folded over one another, as visible on the FIGS. 3 and 4, for example by means of jacks 57 arranged, as visible in FIGS. 1 to 8, between the two elements 54, 55. The operation of the compacting device of the present invention will now be described in relation to FIGS. 1 to 7.
Lors de la collecte des déchets, par le véhicule représenté à la figure 1 , l'opérateur choisit préalablement suivant la taille et la forme du container qu'il doit décharger dans la benne 5, d'ouvrir les deux volets 41 et 43 au maximum comme visible sur la figure 1 ou au minimum en laissant le second volet 43 en position de fermeture et mettant en position ouverte le second élément 55 de ce second volet 43 , comme visible à la figure 2, ménageant ainsi avec le premier volet 41 une trémie de manière à guider l'écoulement des déchets dans le fond de la benne.When collecting waste, by the vehicle shown in Figure 1, the operator chooses beforehand according to the size and shape of the container that he must unload in the bucket 5, to open the two flaps 41 and 43 at most as visible in FIG. 1 or at least leaving the second flap 43 in the closed position and placing the second element 55 of this second flap 43 in the open position, as visible in FIG. 2, thus providing with the first flap 41 a hopper so as to guide the flow of waste in the bottom of the bucket.
Ensuite, par l'intermédiaire du moyen de levage 16 l'opérateur soulève le container de manière à le présenter au droit de l'ouverture 1 1 de la benne. L'ouverture du container peut être commandée en amenant, comme représenté dans le mode de réalisation décrit, un levier 70 solidaire dudit container en contact avec l'extrémité par exemple du premier volet 41 , libérant ainsi les déchets collectés dans la benne 5.Then, via the lifting means 16 the operator lifts the container so as to present it at the opening 1 1 of the bucket. The opening of the container can be controlled by bringing, as shown in the embodiment described, a lever 70 integral with said container in contact with the end for example of the first flap 41, thus releasing the waste collected in the bucket 5.
L'ouverture des volets 41 , 43 ou 41 , 55 en forme de trémie permet avantageusement d'éviter l'envoie des déchets en dehors de la benne, ces derniers étant guidés et retenus par les volets de compactage.The opening of flaps 41, 43 or 41, 55 in the form of a hopper advantageously makes it possible to avoid sending waste outside the bucket, the latter being guided and retained by the compaction flaps.
Le container est alors reposé au sol, au moyen du dispositif de levage 16. L'opérateur par l'intermédiaire du levier de commande 33 verrouille l'avant de la benne avec le berceau, introduisant les verrous 3 1 dans les orifices 3 1 a, puis commande la fermeture des volets de compactage, comme visible à la figure 3.The container is then rested on the ground, by means of the lifting device 16. The operator by means of the control lever 33 locks the front of the bucket with the cradle, introducing the latches 3 1 into the holes 3 1 a , then controls the closing of the compaction flaps, as shown in Figure 3.
Un cycle de compactage des déchets destiné à réduire le volume de ces derniers, est alors réalisé en commandant le déplacement du bouclier fouloir 1 8 au moyen du vérin 14 par des déplacements de va-et-vient longitudinaux dans ladite benne 5. Lors de ce déplacement les déchets viennent en contact avec le clapet 60 repoussant ainsi ce dernier vers le bouclier fouloir 1 8 et obstruant par voie de conséquence l'espace 62. On notera, avantageusement que des galets 71 sont prévus à l'extrémité de la partie rabattue du premier volet 41 de manière à permettre le coulissement de celui-ci sous le second volet 43.A compaction cycle of the waste intended to reduce the volume of the latter, is then carried out by controlling the movement of the gland shield 1 8 by means of the jack 14 by longitudinal reciprocating movements in said bucket 5. During this displacement the waste comes into contact with the valve 60 thus pushing the latter towards the gland shield 1 8 and consequently obstructing the space 62. It will advantageously be noted that rollers 71 are provided at the end of the folded-down part of the first flap 41 so as to allow it to slide under the second flap 43.
De plus, avantageusement, il peut être prévu à l'extrémité opposée de l'articulation 44 du premier élément 54 du second volet 43 des éperons 72 de manière à retenir les déchets compactés.In addition, advantageously, it can be provided at the opposite end of the articulation 44 of the first element 54 of the second flap 43 of the spurs 72 so as to retain the compacted waste.
Lors de cette opération de compactage, on comprend tout l'avantage de la forme du premier volet 41 qui présente deux faces de compactage 50, 5 1 permettant ainsi de repousser vers l'arrière de la benne et vers le fond 6 les déchets.During this compacting operation, we understand all the advantage of the shape of the first flap 41 which has two compacting faces 50, 5 1 thus making it possible to push the waste backwards and towards the bottom 6.
Une fois le cycle de compactage terminé, le bouclier fouloir 18 est repositionné dans sa position de repos en contact avec la paroi avant 8 de la benne 5, comme représenté à la figure 1 .Once the compaction cycle has ended, the gland shield 18 is repositioned in its rest position in contact with the front wall 8 of the bucket 5, as shown in FIG. 1.
De manière avantageuse, une barre transversale 80 amovible ou articulée autour d'un axe vertical 81 solidaire d'une des parois latérales 7 est disposée sensiblement dans la partie médiane de la benne 5, de manière à limiter le retour des déchets compactés vers l'avant de celle-ci, notamment pour des déchets du type bouteilles en plastique qui présentent une forte caractéristique élastique. Cette barre 80 est immobilisée en position transversale au moyen par exemple d'un crochet 100, comme visible à la figure 8.Advantageously, a removable or articulated transverse bar 80 about a vertical axis 81 secured to one of the side walls 7 is disposed substantially in the middle part of the bucket 5, so as to limit the return of the compacted waste towards the before the latter, in particular for waste of the plastic bottle type which has a strong elastic characteristic. This bar 80 is immobilized in transverse position by means, for example, of a hook 100, as visible in FIG. 8.
Lorsque la benne 5 est remplie, l'opérateur peut aller sur une aire de traitement de ces déchets, où il devra vider le contenu de la benne.When the bucket 5 is filled, the operator can go to a waste treatment area, where he will have to empty the contents of the bucket.
Cette opération est réalisée en verrouillant le bouclier fouloirThis operation is carried out by locking the gland shield
1 8 avec la benne 5 au moyen du levier de commande 33 engageant ainsi les verrous 32 dans les orifices 32a, comme représenté à la figure 6.1 8 with the bucket 5 by means of the control lever 33 thus engaging the latches 32 in the orifices 32a, as shown in FIG. 6.
L'opérateur ouvre la porte arrière 9 de la benne 5 et commande l'actionnement du vérin 14 entraînant ainsi le pivotement de la benne 5 autour de l'axe 1 3 , comme visible sur la figure 7. Lors de cette opération, la barre 80 est libre de pouvoir pivoter autour de son axe 81 permettant ainsi la libération des déchets, de sorte qu'en phase finale cette barre se retrouve le long de la paroi latérale 7 de la benne 5.The operator opens the rear door 9 of the bucket 5 and controls the actuation of the jack 14, thereby causing the bucket 5 to pivot about the axis 13, as shown in FIG. 7. During this operation, the bar 80 is free to be able to pivot around its axis 81 thus allowing the release of the waste, so that in the final phase this bar is found along the side wall 7 of the bucket 5.
On a représenté sur les figures 9 à 12, un second mode de réalisation du dispositif de compactage des déchets, afin de simplifier la description, les éléments identiques du premier mode de réalisation seront désignés par les mêmes références numériques.There is shown in Figures 9 to 12, a second embodiment of the waste compacting device, in order to simplify the description, the identical elements of the first embodiment will be designated by the same reference numerals.
A la différence du premier mode de réalisation, le second volet de compactage 43 a la forme générale d'un triangle quelconque T en section longitudinale définissant ainsi deux parois transversales 84,Unlike the first embodiment, the second compacting flap 43 has the general shape of any triangle T in longitudinal section, thus defining two transverse walls 84,
85 qui se rejoignent à une extrémité jointive 83 formant le sommet du triangle, c'est-à-dire l'extrémité libre du volet.85 which meet at a contiguous end 83 forming the top of the triangle, that is to say the free end of the flap.
L'extrémité opposée à l'extrémité jointive 83 d'une de ces parois 84 est articulée autour de l'axe transversal 44 tandis que l'extrémité de l'autre parois 85 est relié au moins à la tige d'au moins un vérin 87.The opposite end to the joining end 83 of one of these walls 84 is articulated around the transverse axis 44 while the end of the other wall 85 is connected at least to the rod of at least one jack 87.
De préférence, la paroi 85 du second volet 43 est reliée à deux vérins 87 disposés de manière symétrique par rapport à l'axe longitudinal la benne 5 , comme représenté sur la figure 12.Preferably, the wall 85 of the second flap 43 is connected to two jacks 87 arranged symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bucket 5, as shown in FIG. 12.
Ce second volet 43 est apte à prendre trois positions, respectivement d'ouverture (figure 9), de fermeture (figure 10) et d'ouverture réduite (figure 1 1 ).This second flap 43 is able to take three positions, respectively opening (Figure 9), closing (Figure 10) and reduced opening (Figure 1 1).
Le premier volet de compactage 41 peut comporter des perforations 90, représentées à la figure 12, permettant à l'opérateur de contrôler la hauteur des déchets dans la benne 5 ou le vidage du container.The first compaction flap 41 may include perforations 90, shown in FIG. 12, allowing the operator to control the height of the waste in the bucket 5 or the emptying of the container.
Selon une variante, le bouclier fouloir 18 comporte des ouvertures 91 permettant le passage de barreaux 92 longitudinaux fixés d'une part à la barre 80 et d'autre pan à la paroi avant 8 de la benne par l'intermédiaire par exemple de goupilles 93. Ces barreaux associés à la barre 80 permettent avantageusement de poser le container de façon à ouvrir ce dernier. Dans la partie en aval de la barre 80, en considérant la figure 10, des barres anti-retour 94 longitudinales des déchets sont reliées de manière articulée à l'une de leurs extrémités autour d'un axe transversal 95 solidaire de la barre 80. Ces barres anti-retour 94 sont destinées à se soulever sous l'action des déchets introduits, jusqu'à leurs contacts en butée contre le toit.According to a variant, the gland shield 18 has openings 91 allowing the passage of longitudinal bars 92 fixed on the one hand to the bar 80 and on the other side to the front wall 8 of the bucket by means, for example, of pins 93 These bars associated with the bar 80 advantageously make it possible to place the container so as to open the latter. In the downstream part of the bar 80, considering FIG. 10, non-return bars 94 longitudinal of the waste are hingedly connected at one of their ends around a transverse axis 95 integral with the bar 80. These non-return bars 94 are intended to be lifted under the action of the waste introduced, until their contacts abut against the roof.
Les barres anti-retour 94 peuvent avantageusement être remplacées par un volet transversal articulé autour d'un axe transversal solidaire des parois latérales 7 de la benne. Ce volet est ainsi apte à pivoter sous l'action des déchets entre au moins deux butées 99, représentées en silhouette sur la figure 10, solidaires des parois 7.The non-return bars 94 can advantageously be replaced by a transverse flap articulated around a transverse axis secured to the side walls 7 of the bucket. This flap is thus able to pivot under the action of the waste between at least two stops 99, shown in silhouette in FIG. 10, integral with the walls 7.
On notera que le vérin 14 à la différence du premier mode de réalisation peut être relié au fond 6 de la benne et disposé sensiblement horizontalement à l'intérieur de cette dernière comme visible à la figure 10.It will be noted that the jack 14, unlike the first embodiment, can be connected to the bottom 6 of the bucket and disposed substantially horizontally inside the latter as visible in FIG. 10.
Avantageusement, selon la variante décrite ci-dessus, un vérin télescopique, non représenté, est disposé sensiblement verticalement entre le fond de la benne et le berceau 12 ou châssis du véhicule de manière à réaliser le basculement de la benne autour de l'axe 13.Advantageously, according to the variant described above, a telescopic jack, not shown, is arranged substantially vertically between the bottom of the bucket and the cradle 12 or chassis of the vehicle so as to tilt the bucket around the axis 13 .
Ce mode de réalisation permet ainsi de déplacer le bouclier fouloir 18 dans la benne et par voie de conséquence du premier volet de compactage 41 lors d'une opération de bennage ou de basculement.This embodiment thus makes it possible to move the gland shield 18 in the bucket and consequently the first compaction flap 41 during a tipping or tilting operation.
On a représenté sur les figures 13 et 14, une variante de fixation de l'avant de la benne avec le berceau 12, dans laquelle la ferrure 1 5 la benne est constituée d'une articulation pivot permettant des débattements angulaires verticale de la benne suivant un angle α. Cette fixation de la benne 5 permet avantageusement une souplesse tortionnelle de la benne.There is shown in Figures 13 and 14, a variant of fixing the front of the bucket with the cradle 12, in which the fitting 1 5 the bucket consists of a pivot joint allowing vertical angular deflections of the following bucket an angle α. This fixing of the bucket 5 advantageously allows a tortuous flexibility of the bucket.
On notera que les moyens de verrouillage 30 sont adaptés et conformés de telle manière à se fixer sur la ferrure 1 5, comme visible sur les figures 1 3 et 14, illustrant respectivement le verrouillage du bouclier fouloir 1 8 avec la benne et le verrouillage de l'avant de la benne avec le châssis 2 ou berceau 12.Note that the locking means 30 are adapted and shaped so as to be fixed on the fitting 1 5, as visible in Figures 1 3 and 14, respectively illustrating the locking the gland shield 1 8 with the bucket and locking the front of the bucket with the chassis 2 or cradle 12.
On comprend à la lecture de la description ci-dessus des deux modes de réalisations que la présente invention permet de s'adapter à toutes sortes de déchets ménagers et tous types de containers.It is understood from reading the description above of the two embodiments that the present invention makes it possible to adapt to all kinds of household waste and all types of containers.
De plus, par ce dispositif de compactage des déchets selon la présente invention, la benne peut accueillir un volume plus important de déchets, et permet de compacter ces derniers de manière très rapide, par des moyens simples et fiables.In addition, by this waste compacting device according to the present invention, the bucket can accommodate a larger volume of waste, and allows to compact it very quickly, by simple and reliable means.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation qui ont été décrits; on pourrait au contraire concevoir diverses variantes sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. C'est ainsi, par exemple, que la benne peut être montée sur une remorque ou un véhicule. Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments which have been described; one could on the contrary conceive various variants without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus, for example, the bucket can be mounted on a trailer or a vehicle.
