Abstract

The dustbin has a body and a folding lid (2) on hinges (3) and a damping device to slow down the movement of the lid, particularly in the end region of movement before it is fully closed or open. The damping device is located inside a through aperture (11) in one of the hinges, which is hollow. The damping effect is achieved by the displacement and/or throttling of a flow of fluid.

Description

I. Field of application

The invention relates to containers, in particular garbage containers, which have a body and a hinged lid fastened to it via hinges for closing of the body, and a damping device for braking the movement the lid, especially in the end area of the movement before reaching the closed and / or open end position, wherein the Damping device on the hinge of the lid, especially in the hollow Through hole of the hinge is arranged.

II. Technical background

Especially in the case of such rubbish bins set up outdoors, there is a Problem in that both the users of the garbage can and the staff of garbage collection vehicles when emptying these garbage containers, especially early Tomorrow and late evening will cause loud noises caused by the Fold or close the lid or open the lid while doing so Impact the lid on the outside of the body in the fully open Position.

Attempts have already been made to address this problem through soft, cushioning material in the area of the surcharge, in particular as running around the lid Seal made of rubber or soft plastic to fix, but there are Soft materials, especially if they are arranged so that they are accessible from the outside wear-resistant enough in everyday use.

Furthermore, there is the problem with this solution that a rotating Soft seal, e.g. B. made of elastomer, freeze easily, thereby the Opening of the lid is obstructed and the soft material seal when violent opening of the lid can be damaged.

In the event that the cover is not dampened by a circumferential Soft seal, but through partial damping elements such. B. round Elastic molded parts, if there is an opening gap between these elastic molded parts free between lid and container body. Insects can pass through this gap get into the closed container unhindered. This follows unpleasant maggot problem, known from the bio-waste storage, but with all organic waste fractions available.

It is also already known to have a spring made of metal in the hinge area between the lid and the body so that the - usually from one or a few coils around the axis Approaching the cover to its closed position the spring tensions and this slows down the closing movement of the lid.

However, this has the disadvantage that even in the closed position Lid is always relieved by the spring, and thereby z. B. in the wind opens even easier than before and thus to an undesirable rattle leads. In addition, the spring is openly accessible, so it can be damaged or damaged removed or cause injury.

Furthermore, such a spring must with respect to the closing angle from the closing movement of the lid is slowed down very precisely be prefabricated, otherwise the spring will dampen too early with the consequence that the lid no longer closes completely with all of it resulting side effects (unpleasant smell, area exposed to wind, Raining inside the bin etc.). In the opposite case, the Attenuation too late, and the noise is barely attenuated.

In addition, such springs exposed to the weather are strong Subject to weather dependency, e.g. B. would such a spring in winter dampen much earlier and therefore more strongly than in summer, which is a constant season-dependent readjustment would require, and therefore also one Construction of the spring that allows readjustment at all.

A damping device is also known from DE 197 46 048 A1 is arranged in the hinge of a hinged lid and in which the rotary movement the cover over a spindle with a large thread pitch in a Longitudinal movement of a nut arranged on the spindle is implemented, where the mother runs against a spring pressure during your longitudinal movement, which leads to damping.

This version also has the disadvantage that one from the zero position deflected mother exerted static pressure on this e.g. in the closed lid position is exercised, which relieves the Lid leads. The lid can thus be e.g. opened by gusts of wind become or clatter.

Furthermore, the static pressure in the case of plastic parts, in particular Exposure to heat, e.g. undesirable in summer Deformation of the parts.

III. Presentation of the invention a) Technical task

It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a device for Reduced noise generation when closing and opening the lid to create or provide a container that with such Device is equipped, with a static by the device Relief of the lid in the open and / or closed position is avoided.

b) solving the problem

This object is solved by the features of claim 1. advantageous Embodiments result from the subclaims.

The noise reduction is preferably by braking the movement of the Lid, especially just before reaching the open or closed one End position, i.e. before opening or hitting the lid on the body, reached. However, preferably the ingestion of the completely closed should Position (placing the lid on the edge of the body) does not result be hindered.

The desired deceleration of the movement of the lid in the Damping device, in particular a cover module, is according to the invention causes one by displacing a fluid, in particular a gas Liquid or a viscous liquid / solid e.g. through a movable thrust body or by throttling the flow of a also highly viscous fluids / solids, e.g. B. Arrange a small one Outflow opening from the working space of a piston-cylinder unit, from which the one functional part with the body and the other with the lid is connected and moved by their relative movement.

The braking can also take place by means of plastic or elastic Deformation of a body or material, especially a viscous paste, -, by means of friction, in particular sliding friction, in particular between two when Moving the lid relative to the body moving against each other Friction surfaces, or by means of magnetic force and / or one generated by induction electric current.

To the structural design of the container in its functional area, the The absorption area to change as little as possible is the damping device preferably arranged on and / or in the hinge of the lid, especially if the hinge e.g. spaced over struts - in Distance to the receiving area of the container and its Loading opening is located.

Preferably, in the case of a hollow, tubular hinge, the Damping device arranged in the hollow interior of the hinge, in particular as a separate damping module and in particular also subsequently e.g. insertable or insertable from the end faces, so that existing containers with such a damping module may even can be retrofitted.

Because in two different directions of movement at the latest shortly before When the end positions are reached, the movement of the cover is slowed down and thus should be slowed down significantly at least on impact with the body, it is recommended to use one for braking before each of the two end positions separate damping device, preferably on or in each of the two Ends of e.g. tubular hinge to accommodate.

This gives the possibility of identical damping devices, in particular Damping modules for the two different movement devices insert, which - because of the reverse insertion direction - not even be modified because of their direction of action for the respective location have to.

Ideally, such a damping module could be used as a cartridge in one piece with the body of the container connected outer tube of the hinge, with which the outer shell of the cartridge is rotatably connected or at Push in rotatably connects.

The lid to be stored in this outer tube could be by means of an end Inserting a journal are stored, the journal then rotatably with the movable relative to the outer circumference of the cartridge Functional part would have to be connected or would have to connect itself.

If the damping device in the hollow interior of the tubular elongated Hinge to be housed is the relative movement of two Damping parts against each other preferably the longitudinal direction of the hinge, for which the relative pivoting from cover to body around the hinge axis implemented around, in particular mechanically implemented, can be converted into a Longitudinal movement of the two functional parts of a damping device in Direction of the longitudinal axis.

Likewise, a damping device on the outside of the container, for example with a vertical or horizontal direction of movement Functional parts, arranged and over a lever linkage with lid and body, in particular the struts of the cover and the hinge pointing towards the hinge Corpus.

Throttling the flow of a fluid is also understood to mean that in a device for the displacement of adjacent fluid layers and thus the Flow of the fluid or the layers due to the viscosity of this fluid friction is opposed. This leads to a throttling of the Movement of those components that are in contact with the fluid layers.

For example, two can be coaxially nested, in particular rotationally symmetrical components the space between the components with a fluid, e.g. highly viscous (silicone) oil. With rotary Movement of the above-mentioned components relative to one another is the result of the components bordering fluid layers due to the contact with it whereby each other in the space between the component surfaces Set counter-flowing fluid layers. This flow is subject to Viscosity of a high friction, which leads to a restriction of this flow and creates a damping of the movement.

All on the flow or displacement of fluid and / or viscous Solid-based damping principles have the advantage that the End positions of the cover a state of equilibrium in the fluid or viscous solid sets because the displacement or the flow in the Rest position of the lid also comes to rest, which accordingly there is no static relief on the lid. The damping works according to the invention only when the cover is moved.

Fig. 1 shows a side view of a typical 80 liter, slim garbage container, the body 1, which is usually about has a square cross-section, is open at the top and can be loaded, and two wheels 8 are arranged in its lower region near the rear edge are over which the container can be moved.

Arranged in one piece on the body, but from its open top at the back is a cross and horizontally behind the actual body extending hinge 3, on which a hinged cover 2nd is pivotally attached to the hinge 3, which in Fig. 1 in different Pivotal positions is shown.

In the fully closed position (0 °), the cover 2 lies on the open one Top of the body 1 and closes it tightly.

From this closed position, the cover 2 can be slightly more than Be swung open 270 ° and then strikes in its open end position about 270 ° with its top on the rear outer surface of the body below the hinge. This as well as hitting on the Top of the body 1 in the closed end position causes the unwanted noise.

Fig. 2a shows a longitudinal section through the hinge 3 with arranged therein Damping modules 5a and 5b, which extend from the two end faces into the elongated bushing 7, essentially continuous over the entire width of body 1 are introduced, which serves as storage for the cover 2 and over Body struts 4 are connected to the body which is not visible in FIG. 2, see above that the desired distance to the rest of the body is given.

As can be seen, the cover 2 is mounted in the elongated bushing 7, in the two Cover struts 6a, 6b near the lateral outer edges of the cover 2 from strive to the rear, and between them the elongated socket 7 of the Can accommodate body 1.

Since the cover struts 6a, 6b have a bearing opening 9 aligned with one another, can these in alignment with the inner through hole 11 of the Be brought 7.

By inserting a plug pin 12 with a widened head 12a from the outside through the cover strut 6a into the socket 7 - if the Outside diameter of the plug pin 12 is only slightly smaller than that Inner diameter of the through opening 11 and also the bearing opening 9 - a Hinge 3 formed.

The plug pin 12 is force or against unintentional removal form-fitting either against the socket 7 or against one other part secured inside the socket 7. In the present case the Plug pin 12 is additionally connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the cover strut 6, that is non-rotatably coupled to the lid.

Each of the two damping modules 5a and 5b consists of two Functional areas: First, the longitudinal drive 5 ', which the Swiveling movement of the cover in a longitudinal movement in the axial direction 10 implements, and on the other hand from a braking part 5 ", the pivoting movement of the lid brakes in the desired angular range.

One of the two damping modules 5a, b brakes each Movement shortly before the closed end position, the other Damping module the movement of the lid just before reaching the open one End position.

Of course there is also a deceleration over the more or less total Movement range of the lid 2 possible, but then leads to a relative long closing or opening time of the lid, what for use is impractical.

The longitudinal drive 5 'consists of a thread in which on the piston rod 13 of the braking part an external thread 14 with a very large pitch angle, preferably more than 45 °, and preferably only about one Thread is designed as a bulge-shaped elevation. The piston rod 13 is taking appropriate measures to keep up with the Preventing pivoting movement of the lid, e.g. B. by being longitudinally displaceable, however, is guided in a rotationally fixed manner in the cylinder bushing 15 of the brake part, and this again non-rotatably, for example by screwing using a Cross screw 16 is connected to the socket 7.

The piston rod 13 projects with its external thread 14 into the brake part 5 " towards the front open blind hole-shaped interior of the plug pin 12 into which an internal thread 17 is designed to match the external thread 14, preferably again in the form of only one thread.

The maximum swiveling movement of the cover of approx. 270 ° is therefore over converted this longitudinal drive 5 'into a longitudinal movement in the axial direction 10, by rotating the socket pin equipped with the internal thread 17 12, which rotates with the lid 2, by screwing against External thread 14 of the piston rod moves it back and forth.

The piston rod 13 carries at its free end remote from the plug pin 12 a piston 18 which in the inner circumference of the cylinder liner 15 substantially is tightly displaceable. When pushing the piston 18 against the bottom 15a of the cylinder liner becomes the inside of the cylinder liner contained air - alternatively, another fluid, such as one, can be used Liquid, are used - compresses, the air through only one relatively small outflow opening 19 acting as a throttle near the bottom 15a can flow outwards. The outflow opening opens for this purpose 19 in the area of a corresponding, usually kept larger Through opening of the socket 7 and has connection to the environment.

At the beginning of the path of movement of the piston 18 from the free end of the Cylinder bushing 15 from the direction of the ground can additionally be supplied via or two longitudinal grooves 21 arranged in the inner wall of the cylinder liner 15 flow out, which open into the open end face of the bush 15. After reaching the rear end of these longitudinal grooves 21 through the piston 18 is this Possibility no longer available, but only to let the air out the outflow opening 18, whereby the movement of the piston 18 abruptly is braked.

As an alternative to this - as in FIG. 3 with the aid of another braking part 5 " shown - such a longitudinal groove 21 'also a to the bottom 15a of the Have cylinder sleeve 15 tapering cross-section, so that the Braking effect preferably increases continuously as the Piston 18 to the bottom 15a. An additional outflow opening 19 in Transverse direction is no longer required if the longitudinal groove 21 'to achievable setting of the piston 18, that is generally up to the bottom 15a, enough.

In FIG. 2, the damping module 5a shown in the right part of the picture brakes the Closing movement of the lid shortly before reaching its closed position (against 0 °), while the other damping module 5b shortly before the movement Brakes to reach the open end position.

2a thus corresponds to the open position of the cover (piston in module 5a 18 in the retracted end position, in the module 5b piston 18 in the wide advanced end position) during Fig. 2b the lid position in the represents the closed end position or close to the closed end position, with correspondingly inverted positions of the two pistons 18.

To the despite the damping devices from the respective end positions Lid quickly, also with relatively little effort, towards the middle To be able to move the position, there is also a backflow valve 22 in the piston 18 arranged, which of air or the other fluid used only from the area outside the workspace to the workspace in the Can flow through inside the cylinder liner 15, but not in the opposite direction. For this purpose the piston 18 is in its longitudinal direction penetrated by a valve bore 23, in the course of which obliquely from the outside in Cuff parts 24 that stand toward the floor and are closed over the circumference project with their free ends in the middle of the valve bore 23 tight abut each other and on their outer circumference close to the inner walls of the Valve bore 22 are attached.

When pushing the piston 18 in the direction of the bottom 15a Sleeve parts 24 are pressed tightly against one another, and the backflow valve 22 is closed. When pulling the piston 18 from the bottom 15a Collar parts 24 pushed apart by means of through the valve bore 23 flowing into the working space of the cylinder liner 15, so that the Piston 18 pulled away from the bottom 15a with much less effort than can be approximated against it.

To prevent the rotation of the piston 18 relative to the bush 15 a tongue and groove connection between piston 18, not shown in FIG. 2 and socket 15 can be arranged in the longitudinal direction 10. If the longitudinal groove 21 - 3 - over the entire length of the working space the socket 15 goes through, this can also be used to lead a corresponding nose protruding from the piston 18 used provided that this is the cross section of the longitudinal groove 21, which is primarily the Air escapes, is not completely closed.

In addition, a partial fixation can be in the end position of the piston can be provided, for example by latching between pistons 18 and socket 15 to the lid with a certain holding force in the to hold the respective end position. This is said to B. the rattle of the itself closed lid 2 in strong wind in the closed or too open end position can be prevented.

The advantage of the solution shown in Fig. 2 is that for the Braking near the two end positions, identical damping modules 5 can be used because of the insertion from different Directions in the end faces not even with regard to the direction of rotation of the Thread must be designed differently.

4 shows a further variant of a braking part 5 ″, in that a piston 18 ′, which in turn is connected back to a longitudinal drive 5 'into one in the same Immerses direction extending socket 15 ', but in this case is at least partially filled with a gel 20 or a pasty mass. The gel 20 is forced when pushing the piston 18 'forward Gap between the outer wall of the piston 18 'and the inner wall of the Flow around bushing 15 ', which is less towards the bottom 15a increasing gap cross section progressively slower and one generates stronger braking effect.

For this purpose, the bush 15 'tapers conically towards the bottom 15a formed and / or also the piston 18 '.

In contrast to the prescribed solutions, the Socket 15 'is also sealed on the side opposite the base 15a be, with a corresponding through opening for the piston rod 13 to to avoid pushing the gel 20 out of the socket 15 '.

5a and b show the embodiment of a refuse container in which corresponding damping modules 5a, b not inside the hollow hinge 3, but are arranged on the outside of the body 1, which offers the advantage that the Size of the damping module 5 is not due to the free space inside of the hinge is limited, i.e. larger diameters as well as larger ones Longitudinal movement paths are available.

It is also provided here for braking before the two end positions to provide separate damping modules 5a, b, but this also in one single module can be summarized by a piston through Approaching each of the two front bottoms of a cylinder Decelerates.

As can best be seen in the side view of FIG. 5, this is one thing Damping module 5a substantially vertically on the rear outer wall the body 1 arranged. The piston rod 13 projecting upwards becomes thereby from reaching a position of the cover 2 near the end position of whose cover struts 6 down, so in the direction of the bottom 5a Bushing 15 moves with the effects as in FIGS. 2 to 4 described.

The braking near the open end position is achieved by e.g. B. horizontal arrangement of a second damping module 5b on one of the Body struts 4, with the piston rod 13 projecting to the rear, from the Cover strut 6 is acted upon when the cover 2 is open End position is approaching.

Fig. 6 shows a solution in which no implementation of the rotational movement of the Cover 2 around the axial direction 10 in a longitudinal movement in the axial direction takes place, but directly the rotational movement of the lid for the Damping device is used.

For this purpose protrudes in the axial direction 10, preferably centrally on the Axis direction 10, a rod-shaped axis 25 which rotatably with the Cover strut 6 and thus the cover 2 is connected in a hollow cylinder, So either in the through opening 11 of the hinge 3 or one therein inserted cylinder liner 15. From this axis 25 project radially and in Axial direction 10 spaced one or more fingers 26 outwards, preferably all in the same rotational position with respect to the axial direction 10, as the sectional views of Figures 6b and 6c show.

The inside of the through opening 11 or cylinder sleeve 15 is thereby with a gel 20 or another deformable mass or deformable body at least partially filled. From reaching a certain one Angular position in the direction of open setting or closed setting of the lid 2 or in any position, the fingers 26 press into it Gel 20 a, and through its resistance the rotational movement of the lid attenuated.

6b, the fingers 26 are in their radial direction aligned approximately in accordance with the cover struts 6a, so that for this reason the fingers 26, which are not visible from the outside, with regard to their Rotational position can be estimated. The gel 20 or the deformable body must then preferably be inclined in the Attached inside the through hole 11, for. B. glued in, if the fingers 26 thereby only reach a certain angular position to be braked.

It is therefore preferable to twist the position of the fingers 26 relative to the Cover struts 6a such that the cross section of the through opening 11 partially and with a horizontal surface, preferably still below the Axis 25 lies, can be filled, so that the filling of an informal mass is possible, which is set horizontally solely by gravity.

The fingers 26 then dip in both directions from a certain angle this gel, the time of immersion or angle of immersion the cover strut 6a can also be varied in that the fingers 26 in the viewing direction of Figure 6d is not necessarily symmetrical to the through Axial direction 10 extending radial direction must be formed.

The fingers 26 preferably extend close to the inner wall of the Through opening 11 or cylinder liner 15 approach.

The size of the resistance against the fingers 26 can be varied by the size of the cross section of the fingers 26 and their distance in Axis direction 10, and the speed of insertion of the resistor can are varied mainly by the shape of the cross section of the fingers 26, as in Fig. 6c shown.

With an approximately triangular cross-section, with a tip of the triangle to the front in the immersion direction, the braking effect begins more gently if - with the same basic width this triangle 10 - the cross-sectional shape slimmer, that is, more pointed and in Immersion direction longer, is selected according to the right representation in Figure 6c compared to a blunt triangular cross section.

Fig. 7 shows a lid damper 30, which is substantially sleeve-shaped is trained and e.g. in the hollow through hole of a lid hinge can be used. The outer part 31 of the sleeve inserted into the hinge becomes e.g. via the fixing projection 34 firmly on the trunk of a not shown Fixed waste bin, whereas the inner part 32 of the sleeve e.g. about one Lid driver 35 is firmly connected to the lid, so that inner part 32nd and outer part 30 of the damper sleeve during a cover movement coaxially The inner part 32 is on the one hand via a screw 36 connected to the outer part 31 such that it is not in the axial direction disengaged and connected to a head end 37, which has the cover driver 35. So it is ultimately through rotation of the garbage container lid, not shown, the lid driver 35 from the lid moved, thereby moving the head end 37 and the inner part 32, which rotates in the outer part 31, which is firmly fixed to the waste container.

The two mutually rotating parts 31/32 are via a gap 33 spaced with a e.g. highly viscous oil, for example silicone oil is. In the event of a twist, accordingly, the inner and outer Part of adjacent oil layers shifted relative to each other, with one Damping effect or throttling effect due to internal friction losses results in the relative flow of the oil layers to each other. This damping is the larger, the smaller the oil-filled gap 33.

In the embodiment shown, the inner part 32 is approximately tubular formed, the wall thickness of the inner part 32 of the in the outer Part 31 protrudes from left to right with reference to the drawing. Correspondingly, the annular gap or the annular gap is reduced Groove of the outer part 31, which serves to receive the tubular part 32. By inserting the inner part 32 into the outer part 31 can thus the gap width and thus the damping strength can also be influenced.
