Abstract

The waste collector has a flap (20) closing off the waste depositing opening and which can be opened by a mechanism including especially a foot pedal (11), via an electronic release and/or via a sensor technique. The flap has the approximate shape of a quarter spherical shell segment can be opened wide enough to create a waste depositing opening of about the same size as the dimensions of a quarter spherical shell segment. The operating of the opening mechanism from the foot pedal is through a Bowden cable which acts upon the flap.

Description

The present invention relates to a waste collector with a Waste receiving container and a slot in the upper Area that can be opened, including an opening Flap, which has the shape of a spherical shell segment, wherein the Flap can be opened so far that there is a slot about the same size.

US 5,492,239 describes a waste collector of the beginning said genus with a dome-shaped head part, comprising fixed spherical shell segment and a movable flap also in the form of a spherical shell segment, the visor-like can be opened in an open position in which they have a about the same size opening opens. Moving the movable flap takes place in this known waste collector exclusively by hand. Such a manual operation is little comfortable and also unhygienic, since the flap when inserting Waste can come into contact with this. The flap will too moved back to the closed position by hand.

US 5,292,023 describes a similar waste collector with a dome-shaped headboard, but in which two pivotable smaller spherical shell segments are provided. To this Press is a handle in the upper part of the garbage collector provided that needs to be depressed to the two Pivoting spherical shell segments into a position in which they have a release central opening.

EP 0 440 889 B1 describes a further waste collector. The Housing of this waste collector is approximately cylindrical, and in the upper Area is an approximately dome-shaped headboard available. In this Headboard are two eighth ball shell segments so swiveling stored that they are opening along the spherical shell at the same time each move outwards, so that in the middle then opens a slot, whose size is about the one Quarter spherical shell segment corresponds. Opening these two Flaps in the form of each spherical shell segments happens by means of a linkage, which is thus connected to the foot pedal, that when stepping down the foot pedal a rocker is swung down, with a vertical direction connected above the actuating rod. These Operating rod has at the upper end of an angling, which in one Slider engages. This slider is in turn with pin in Engagement, which is due to the two spherical shell segment-shaped Flaps are located. Through the slide and the pins are the both flaps taken in a pivoting movement, where Tension springs, which then release the foot pedal spherical shell segment-shaped flaps in the closed Move back home position. The opening mechanism is included this known waste collector structurally complex and therefore in the production costly. The many interlocking stored parts require a certain susceptibility to wear. There two eighth-spherical shell segments when opening to the outside pivot, results in a central opening in the apex area the dome-shaped head portion, wherein the flaps in the Opening position are each behind a side dome wall.

The object of the present invention is to provide a To provide waste collector of the type mentioned, in which the opening mechanism follows a different construction principle, has a simpler structure and is inexpensive to produce.

The solution to this problem provides an inventive Waste collectors of the type mentioned with the characterizing features of the main claim. According to the invention It is envisaged that only one flap preferably with approximately the shape a quarter spherical shell segment is provided, the extent can be opened, that a throw-in opening about the same Size preferably with the dimensions of a Quarter spherical shell segment results. Unlike the beginning mentioned prior art is in the inventive solution so preferably the opening not centrally, but laterally, because when opening the flap with the shape of the Quarter spherical shell segment preferably visually along a Kugelschalenbahn to the back of the dome in the upper area of the Waste collector housing is moved. So you can especially at the solution according to the invention the dome-shaped upper area, which basically has the shape of a hemisphere shell, so to divide that at the front facing the user, at the at the bottom also the foot pedal is located Quarter spherical shell segment as movably pivotally mounted Flap performs and in the rear area a fixed Provide quarter spherical shell segment of the housing behind which the slid open quarter-spherical shell segment. Thereby remains during the opening process, the rear half of hemispherical dome stand while the front half So a quarter ball shell with fully opened flap (visor) forms a correspondingly large insertion opening.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention Task solution is provided that the opening mechanism at least one cable pull element, for example a Bowden cable includes. This allows the opening mechanism constructive be particularly simple to run, especially as Bowden cables can learn any diversions or on Curved tracks can be laid. It is also at a Bowden cable around an element, by means of which a tensile force on an optionally greater distance with direction changes can be transferred. Instead of a Bowden cable or in addition to such a one can also use another tension element, For example, a cable with a plastic rope or like.

According to the invention, it is possible that the visor-like flap at her Pivoting movement over a fixed spherical shell segment the dome of the housing slides, or that the sight-like flap is pushed under such a fixed part. The visor-like opening flap thus moves about a horizontal pivot axis, preferably radially centered across the lower area the dome stretches. The dome can 'with the example Housing the waste collector to be firmly connected. You can then Dome and housing from above over an inner bucket of the Put the garbage collector and empty the garbage Housing lifted off the inner bucket. You could also alternatively the dome with the visor-opening flap of the approximately cylindrical lower housing of the waste bin towards the top form removable to empty the waste collector or to Maintenance purposes.

The flap closing the insertion opening may possibly also be opened by hand or via the opening mechanism, the in particular, includes a foot pedal, which is used to open the flap is lowerable. The opening of the opening closing occlusive But flap can also, for example, electrically or electronically be triggered, in particular by means of a sensor technology. For this For example, you can use an infrared sensor or a use other motion detectors, so that a approximate person sets in motion a mechanism that shuts the door opens. In all the variants mentioned includes the opening mechanism preferably at least one cable pull element. You can do that For example, work with a Bowden cable alone, which is to Example of a lowerable foot pedal preferably over corresponding deflections extends to the flap and these over a pulling movement opens. But you can also, for example, a Combine cable pull element with a linkage. Will the Waste bin opened via a foot pedal, this can be a first be operated with this connected linkage, which then in turn is in communication with a cable pull element which connects to the flap attacks. Depending on the design of the opening mechanism can the cable pull element and / or the linkage, for example within the housing at the foot pedal facing Extend the front at least partially upwards or but also on the back of the foot pedal facing away from the Housing run. In the upper area then runs the diversion in each case accordingly, that means either from the back to the front flap, where used Seilzugelemente preferably at least partially in Extend circumferential direction. Or in a variant of the invention The cable elements initially run from the front to Rear side, are deflected there and then extend again to the flap, so that here too a train movement reached, which pulls the flap when opening inward.

In a variant of the invention, the opening mechanism comprises at least one geared to the foot pedal itself at least partially approximately vertically extending linkage. A preferred constructive solution then provides, for example, that this linkage in the upper area under a pestle or a similar device engages when lowering the foot pedal. By Lifting this plunger will then be at about the perimeter area extending from the plunger in both circumferential directions extending tension element in the form of a Bowden cable, cable, Plastic rope or the like acted, which is so deflected, that lifting the plunger into one on the visor-like flap attacking train movement is transformed so that the Tension element on the visor attacks and this on its axis pulls back, about in a pivoting movement with a Swing radius of 90 ° until the open position is reached. The Guiding the cable pull-like tension element is preferably via suitable guide elements and / or deflection elements, For example, about disc-like driver with grooves over the Scope the tension element is guided and the to a horizontal Swivel axis to be rotatably supported by the action of the tensile force can, with this pivot axis approximately with the pivot axis of the sight-like flap can coincide. It is therefore For example, two tension elements present from the plunger to Both sides go to the carriers. Will the plunger lifted by the linkage, this exerts a pulling force on the two Tension elements, which in turn causes a rotational movement of the Driver results and a pivoting movement of the flap. Preferably, it is achieved by suitable spring elements that the flap after releasing the foot pedal back in their Closed position moved back. This can be done, for example Use torsion springs arranged in the area of the driver are and on rotation of the driver due to the on this over the Tensile element exerted tensile force to be stressed on torsion, so that when they release the tensile force by their restoring force the Driver and thus the associated with this flap turn back or swivel.

According to a variant of the invention, the cable pull element runs first from the foot pedal in the vertical direction and separates then in at least one subsequent section in two Cable pull strands on, at least partially within the housing of the waste collector in the circumferential direction. Preferably Guide elements for the cable pull element, in particular for everyone Section or strand of the cable element provided. In this variant of the invention, for example, inside the Housing an operating bracket or a rocker be provided at which the lower portion of the cable element is fixed. This Operating handle or the rocker is in turn preferably with in the protruding through the housing outward foot pedal in Connection. When lowering the foot pedal is then so directly exerted a tensile force, the cable element after pulls down, what then after appropriate deflection in the upper Area of the garbage collector leads to a pulling movement that the Flap when opening into the interior of the refuse collection housing draws. The said operating bracket can, for example, in Housing the waste collector be pivotally mounted.

The cable element, which in the variant of the invention of about the height of the foot pedal starting inside the housing initially extends upward, runs at least in this lower Area between the outer housing of the garbage collector and an inner bucket that receives this outer housing. Of the The inner bucket is then emptied out of the outer bucket removed. Between the inner bucket and the outer bucket is enough space available to there the cable element embarrassed.

The features mentioned in the subclaims relate preferred developments of the task solution according to the invention.

Further advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following Detailed description.

Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the dome-shaped head part of Waste collector, and you can see the flap 20 in the form of a Quarter spherical shell segments, which are opened in the direction of the arrow can and then about a likewise about Quarter spherical shell segment-shaped stationary housing part 21st pushes, wherein the flap 20 is a pivoting movement about a horizontal pivot axis 22 performs and from the in Fig. 2 illustrated closed position by an angle of about 90 ° is moved to the open position shown in Fig. 3. On the approximately cylindrical housing 10 is the dome-shaped head part according to Fig. 2 attached and removable from this. Next to the fixed housing part 21 and the flap 20 includes the head part a centering ring 23, which engage in the cylindrical housing can and a associated with this throw-in ring 25, which is different from the substantially vertically aligned centering ring 23 of the upper end of which is inclined radially inwards and downwards extends, as is apparent from Fig. 2. By the throw-in ring 25th Ensures that dropped waste into the central 'opening the cylindrical container of the waste bin falls. To the Einwurfring 25 attached, in particular formed two are like Bulge upwardly extending housing body 27, the As shown in FIG. 6, on the circumference of the Einwurfrings 25 each other are opposite. A vertical section through such Housing body 27 shows Fig. 7. As you can see there, takes the Housing body 27 each have a driver 29 in the form of a wheel over which a cable pull element 30 is guided, by means of which the Opening movement of the flap 20 is effected. As shown in Fig. 7 sees, the cable element 30 is located in a groove of the wheel-shaped Driver. Detail views of the driver 29 are shown in Figs. 8 to 10 is shown. Detailed views of the cable element, Figs. 11 to 13.

Hereinafter, reference is made to Figs. 11 to 13 reference. The Top view of the cable pull element 30 according to FIG. 11 shows Plastic rope or a Bowden cable with two end-side Befestigungsnippeln 32, by means of which the cable pull element respectively the end is fixed to one of the wheel-shaped carrier 29. In the middle of the cable pull element 30 is a slider 33 at this attached, which can be seen in the side view in Fig. 12 and of which an enlarged detail view is shown in FIG. This Slider 33 has a bottom side 34 for receiving the Plunger 24 (see Fig. 2). Under the lower end of the in Fig. 2 shown plunger 24 engages through the housing 10th extending linkage (see Fig. 1), which in lowering a Footpedals 11 causes lifting of the plunger 24. Because of this Lifting the plunger 24, the slider 33 is taken and also raised, which in turn has a pulling force on the at the Slider 33 attached cable pull element 30 exerts. This tensile force transmits via the nipple 32 (see Fig. 11) on the wheel-shaped Driver 29, which then around the horizontal pivot axis 22nd (see Fig. 2 and Fig. 6) rotate.

As can be seen from the detailed view of FIG. 7, is with the wheel-shaped drivers 29 each in the axis of a bolt 28th rotatably connected, in turn, at its outer end a Head 28 a, which engages over the flap 20 and the flange is in a firm connection with the flap 20. This will be added Rotation of the wheel-shaped carrier 29 of the bolt 28 and over this in turn turned the flap 20, so that these from the in Fig. 2 illustrated closed position about the axis 22 in the Opening position according to FIG. 3 pivots.

FIGS. 8 to 10 show the details of the wheel-shaped carrier 29. This has, as can be seen from FIGS. 9 and 10, a hub 39 with a square socket 36 into which the square shank 35 of the bolt 28 is inserted (see Fig. 7). The wheel-shaped carrier 29 has furthermore a groove 29a for guiding the cable pull element 30. In each case an end attached to the cable element 30 nipple 32 is set in the part-cylindrical recess 38 of the driver 29, so that there the transmission of the tensile force of the cable element 30th takes place on the wheel-shaped carrier 29, resulting in a rotation of the Driver results. As can be seen from Fig. 10, has the Driver 29 also on its inside an annular Recess 37 for receiving a leg spring 31, the in Fig. 7 is shown and which can also be seen in Fig. 6. Such Leg spring 31 is on both sides at each Radförmigen carrier 29. Upon rotation of the driver 29, caused by the tensile force of the cable element 30, the Leg spring 31 subjected to torsion and thus stretched, so that upon release of the pulling movement, the leg springs 31 the Turn driver 29 back to its starting position and thus the Fold visor 20 back to the closed position.

With reference to FIG. 14, another will be described below alternative variant of a waste collector according to the invention explained. Fig. 14 shows a vertical section through the Waste collector, where you can see that the outer housing 102 of the waste bin receives an inner bin 105, wherein between the two an annular space remains, which one for the Housing parts of the opening mechanism, in particular a Cable element in the form of a Bowden cable 100 and the necessary guiding elements. In this variant of the Invention is the lowerable foot pedal 108 with a Actuator bar 106 is connected, the separately once again in Fig. 16 is shown. At this operating bracket 106 is over a tie rod set the lower end of the Bowden cable 100. Of the Bowden cable then runs from there vertically upwards and extends through a guide element, which has a Double clip 112 includes, which in turn has a receiving angle 114 may be fixed to the inside of the outer housing 102 can. From there, the Bowden cable 100 extends further vertically upwards and then branches into two separate Strands 110, 111.

Further details regarding the design of the Bowden cable result from the schematically simplified representation according to Fig. 18. It recognizes there the tow hook 101, the pulling force on the lower end of the Bowden cable 100 exercises. Next is the double clip 112 shown as a guide element. After that branches the Bowden cable in the two strands 110, 111, taking for each strand in each case also a clip-like guide element 113, 114 is provided. The two strands 110, 111 then do not run more vertically but at least partially horizontal and extend in the circumferential direction, with the ends of these two strands are respectively fixed to drivers 29, as shown in Fig. 17 are shown and already previously with reference to the first Embodiment have been described. It can be seen in FIG. 17 also a portion of one of the strands 110 with the clip which serves as a guide element.

In Fig. 16, the part-annular actuating bracket 106 in detail shown, of which in Fig. 14 only a small section recognizes. As you can see, the actuating bracket 106 has a bore 116 on for fixing the recognizable in Fig. 18 tie rod 101st of the Bowden cable. This actuating bracket 106 is pivotable, wherein the pivoting movement by operation of the foot pedal 108th (see Fig. 14) is caused and the pivot axis is where where There are two welding studs with shoulder 109, so that the Operating handle 106 articulated in the housing of the waste bin is attached. The two adjustment units 117, 118 are used to the Adjust Bowden cable.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 19, an alternative Embodiment variant of the invention explained. In this variant Branches differently than in the previous with reference to FIG. 18 described embodiment of the Bowden cable not above, but there is only one strand 110 available. This one strand 110 then also extends in the circumferential direction. It is only one here clipartige guide element 113 required for in Circumferentially extending strand 110 of the Bowden cable in the upper Area. Instead of the double clip 112 in the variant of FIG. 18 is a simple clipart in the embodiment of FIG Guide element 113 available. This clip-like guide element 113 is then, for example, on the inside of the outer Housing of the waste collector and is set there, for example in a position as in the variant of FIG. 15 for the Double clip 112 is shown. End is on the Bowden cable also at the variant of FIG. 19, a pull hook 101 is present over the the lower end of the Bowden cable on an actuating bracket 106th is set so that when lowering the foot pedal 108th is taken. Reference is also made to FIG. 15, which is refers to the embodiment described above, in which Tie rod is recognizable. The difference in the variant according to FIG. 19 is thus that in the upper region only one strand 110th is present, which runs on one side in the circumferential direction. One such strand 110 is sufficient in this variant to the forces to transmit the visor-like flap 20. Corresponding one also comes in the variant of FIG. 19 with only one Carrier 29 on one side of the dome-shaped head part. The Redirection of the force on the driver 29 can in the variant 19 in principle similar solved, as previously under Referring to Fig. 17 for the first embodiment has been described.
