Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Behältnis, insbesondere zum Sammeln von Abfällen und Wertstoffen mit einem Gehäuse, dessen offene Oberseite durch einen Deckel verschließbar ist, wobei der Deckel wenigstens eine Einwurföffnung aufweist und im Randbereich der Einwurföffnung als Einwurftrichter ausgebildet ist, und mit einem Innenbehälter, der in das Gehäuse eingesetzt ist.The present invention relates to a container, in particular for collecting waste and valuable materials with a housing, the open top is closed by a lid, wherein the lid has at least one insertion opening and is formed in the edge region of the insertion opening as an insertion funnel, and with an inner container, the is inserted into the housing.

Behältnisse dieser Art werden von der Anmelderin angeboten und insbesondere in öffentlichen Einrichtungen wie Flughäfen, Bahnhöfen etc. eingesetzt, um Abfälle bzw. Wertstoffe wie Glasflaschen, Kunststoffverpackungen, Papier etc. getrennt voneinander zu sammeln. Die bekannten Behältnisse besitzen ein Gehäuse mit einer obenseitigen Einwurföffnung, durch welche die zu sammelnden Abfälle bzw. Wertstoffe in einen Innenbehälter, der in das Gehäuse eingestellt ist, eingeworfen werden können. Dabei ist die Oberseite des Gehäuses als Deckel ausgebildet, welcher geöffnet werden kann, um den Innenbehälter zum Entleeren aus dem Gehäuse zu entnehmen.Containers of this type are offered by the applicant and used in particular in public institutions such as airports, railway stations, etc., to collect waste or recyclables such as glass bottles, plastic packaging, paper, etc. separately. The known containers have a housing with a top-side insertion opening, through which the waste or recyclables to be collected in an inner container, which is set in the housing, can be inserted. In this case, the upper side of the housing is designed as a lid, which can be opened in order to remove the inner container for emptying out of the housing.

Beim Einsatz in öffentlichen Einrichtungen ist wesentlich, dass Abfallbehälter und Wertstoffsammelsysteme langlebig und beschädigungssicher sind sowie den hohen Sicherheitsstandards genügen, insbesondere was den Brandschutz angeht. Aus diesem Grund sind bei den Behältnissen, welche von der Anmelderin derzeit angeboten werden, die Gehäuse und Innenbehälter aus Metall und insbesondere Edelstahl hergestellt und die Gehäusedeckel im Bereich der Einwurföffnung als Einwurftrichter ausgebildet, die eine selbstlöschende Wirkung haben und im Brandfall den Anstieg der Temperatur an, über und unter dem Gehäuse minimieren. Zudem schützen Schnappschlösser die Behältnisse gegen unbefugten Zugriff und sichern abnehmbares Zubehör gegen Diebstahl.When used in public facilities is essential that waste containers and recycling systems are durable and damage-resistant and meet the high safety standards, especially in terms of fire protection. For this reason, in the containers, which are currently offered by the applicant, the housing and inner container made of metal and stainless steel in particular and formed the housing cover in the region of the insertion opening as a funnel, which have a self-extinguishing effect and in case of fire, the rise in temperature , minimize above and below the case. In addition, snap locks protect the containers against unauthorized access and secure removable accessories against theft.

Auch wenn sich die bekannten Behältnisse zum Sammeln von Abfällen und Wertstoffen durchaus bewährt haben und auch den Sicherheitsanforderungen insbesondere hinsichtlich des Brandschutzes entsprechen, gehen die Bestrebungen dahin, den Sicherheitsstandard noch weiter zu erhöhen.Even if the known containers for collecting waste and valuable materials have proved to be quite good and also meet the safety requirements, in particular with regard to fire protection, efforts are being made to further increase the safety standard.

Aus diesem Grund ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Behältnis zum Sammeln von Abfällen und Wertstoffen der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, dass Brände in den Innenbehältern schnell und selbsttätig gelöscht werden.For this reason, it is an object of the present invention, a container for collecting waste and recyclables of the type mentioned in such a way that fires in the inner containers are quickly and automatically deleted.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass ein Dichtungselement vorgesehen ist, das bei geschlossenem Deckel einen zwischen dem Innenbehälter und der Deckelunterseite gebildeten Ringspalt abdichtet.This object is achieved according to the invention in that a sealing element is provided which seals a ring gap formed between the inner container and the underside of the lid when the lid is closed.

Der Erfindung liegt damit die Überlegung zugrunde, einen Lufteintritt in den Inne nbehälter zu unterbinden, indem der Ringspalt zwischen dem Innenbehälter und der Deckelunterseite abgedichtet wird. Damit ist ein Lufteintritt in den Innenbehälter nur über die Einwurföffnung möglich. Im Brandfall verhindern dort jedoch die entstehenden und in den Einwurftrichter aufsteigenden Rauchgase ein Einströmen von Luft und damit Sauerstoff, so dass der Brand von allein erlischt, wenn der in dem Inne nbehälter vorhandene Sauerstoff aufgebraucht ist.The invention is thus based on the consideration, an air inlet into the Inne nbehälter to prevent by the annular gap between the inner container and the lid bottom is sealed. Thus, an air inlet into the inner container is only possible via the insertion opening. In case of fire, however, prevent the arising there and rising into the hopper flue gases an influx of air and thus oxygen, so that the fire goes out by itself when the existing in the Inne nbehälter oxygen is used up.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist in an sich bekannter Weise ein Arretiermechanismus wie beispielsweise ein Schnappschloss vorgesehen, um den Deckel in seiner geschlossenen Stellung zu fixieren. In diesem Fall ist das Dichtungselement in bevorzugter Weise derart ausgebildet und angeordnet, dass es in der geschlossenen und arretierten Stellung zwischen dem Innenbehälter und dem Deckel über seinen ganzen Umfang elastisch zusammengedrückt wird. Auf diese Weise wird sichergestellt, dass der zwischen dem Innenbehälter und der Deckelunterseite gebildete Ringspalt tatsächlich über den gesamten Umfang zuverlässig abgedichtet wird, auch wenn der Ringspalt aufgrund von Fertigungsungenauigkeiten oder dergleichen ungleichmäßig ist.According to a preferred embodiment, a locking mechanism such as a snap lock is provided in a conventional manner to fix the lid in its closed position. In this case, the sealing element is preferably designed and arranged so that it is elastically compressed in the closed and locked position between the inner container and the lid over its entire circumference. In this way, it is ensured that the annular gap formed between the inner container and the lid underside is actually reliably sealed over the entire circumference, even if the annular gap is uneven due to manufacturing inaccuracies or the like.

Grundsätzlich ist es für die Erfindung unerheblich, ob das Dichtungselement an der Deckelunterseite oder an dem Innenbehälter angeordnet ist. Zur Sicherstellung einer einfachen Montage ist das Dichtungselement gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform jedoch an einem zum Deckel weisenden Rand des Innenbehälters angeordnet, wobei es zweckmäßigerweise einen U-förmigen Querschnitt besitzt und auf den Rand von oben aufgeschoben ist. Um bei dieser Ausführungsform die deckelseitig erforderliche horizontale Anlagefläche zu erhalten, kann an dem Deckel ein Rauchblech vorgesehen sein, welches sich zwischen dem Einwurftrichter und einem Ringsteg des Gehäuses erstreckt.In principle, it is irrelevant to the invention whether the sealing element is arranged on the underside of the cover or on the inner container. However, in order to ensure a simple assembly, the sealing element according to a preferred embodiment is arranged on an edge of the inner container facing the lid, wherein it expediently has a U-shaped cross-section and is pushed onto the rim from above. In order in this embodiment, the cover side required horizontal To obtain contact surface, a smoke plate may be provided on the lid, which extends between the insertion funnel and a ring land of the housing.

Gemäß einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Innenbehälter durch Führungselemente wie beispielsweise einen umlaufenden Ringsteg in dem Gehäuse positioniert ist. Auf diese weise wird sichergestellt, dass der Innenbehälter eine gewünschte, definierte Lage innerhalb des Gehäuses einnimmt.According to one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the inner container is positioned in the housing by guide elements, such as, for example, a circumferential annular web. In this way, it is ensured that the inner container assumes a desired, defined position within the housing.

In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel ist eine Klappe an der Einwurföffnung angeordnet, die zum Einwurf von Gegenständen zum Innenbehälter hin verschwenkbar ist. Damit sich die Klappe nach einem Verschwenken automatisch wieder in die Ausgangsposition bewegt, kann ein Federmechanismus und/oder ein Gegengewicht an der Klappe vorgesehen sein.In a further embodiment, a flap is arranged on the insertion opening, which is pivotable towards the insertion of objects to the inner container. Thus, the flap automatically moves after pivoting back to the starting position, a spring mechanism and / or a counterweight may be provided on the flap.

Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, in an sich bekannter Weise innerhalb des Gehäuses mehrere Innenbehälter vorzusehen, denen dann jeweils eine Einwurföffnung in dem Deckel zugeordnet ist. In diesem Fall sind die zwischen den Innenbehältern und dem Deckel gebildeten Ringspalte jeweils durch ein Dichtungselement gegen einen Lufteintritt abgedichtet, so dass jeder Innenbehälter eine geschlossene Einheit bildet und im Brandfall das Feuer nicht aus einem Innenbehälter in einen daneben liegenden Innenbehälter überspringen kann.Of course, it is also possible to provide in a conventional manner within the housing a plurality of inner container, which is then associated with a respective insertion opening in the lid. In this case, the annular gaps formed between the inner containers and the lid are each sealed by a sealing element against an air inlet, so that each inner container forms a closed unit and can not skip the fire from an inner container into an adjacent inner container in case of fire.

In den Figuren 1 bis 4 ist ein Behältnis 1 gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung dargestellt, wie es insbesondere in öffentlichen Einrichtungen Verwendung findet, um Abfälle und/oder andere Wertstoffe wie beispielsweise Kunststofflaschen und -verpackungen, Glas und Papierwaren getrennt voneinander zu sammeln. Das Behältnis 1 besitzt dabei ein auf einem Sockel 2 sitzendes Gehäuse 3, dessen offene Oberseite durch einen Deckel 4 verschlossen ist. Wie die Figuren 3 und 4 zeigen, ist der Deckel 4 an dem Gehäuse 3 mittels eines Gelenks 5 befestigt und kann aus der in der Zeichnung dargestellten, geschlossenen Stellung in einer vertikalen Ebene nach oben in eine offene Stellung verschwenkt werden. Des weiteren ist ein Arretiermechanismus hier in der Form eines Schnappschlosses 6 vorgesehen, über welches der Deckel 4 an der dem Gelenk 5 gegenüberliegenden Seite in seiner geschlossenen Stellung arretiert werden kann. In dem Deckel 4 ist, wie insbesondere die Figur 2 gut erkennen lässt, zentral eine Einwurföffnung 7 vorgesehen, deren Randbereich als Einwurftrichter 8 mit einem sich von der Deckeloberseite zur Deckelunterseite hin verjüngenden Querschnitt ausgebildet ist.In the figures 1 to 4, a container 1 is shown according to the present invention, as it is used in particular in public facilities to collect waste and / or other valuable materials such as plastic bottles and packaging, glass and paper goods separately. The container 1 has a seated on a base 2 housing 3, the open top is closed by a cover 4. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the lid 4 is fixed to the housing 3 by means of a hinge 5 and can be pivoted upwardly from the position shown in the drawing in a vertical plane to an open position. Furthermore, a locking mechanism is provided here in the form of a snap lock 6, via which the lid 4 can be locked in its closed position on the opposite side of the hinge 5. As can be clearly seen in particular from FIG. 2, a cover opening 7 is provided centrally in the cover 4, the edge region of which is designed as a feed funnel 8 with a cross-section tapering from the top side of the cover to the underside of the cover.

In das Gehäuse 3 ist ein auslaufsicherer Innenbehälter 9 aus Metall eingesetzt, der in dem Gehäuse 3 durch Führungselemente in der Form eines umlaufenden Führungssteges 10 positioniert ist. Der Innenbehälter 9 steht auf Füßen, die hier durch den hinuntergezogenen Rand 9b der Seitenwände gebildet wird, so dass der Boden 9a des Innenbehälters 9 beabstandet von dem Gehäuseboden 3a gehalten wird, und ein Isolationsspalt zwischen dem Boden 9a des Innenbehälters 9 und dem Gehäuseboden 3a gebildet wird. Dabei ist an dem oberen, zum Deckel 4 weisenden Randbereich des Innenbehälters 9 ein Dichtungselement 11 in der Form eines Dichtungsrings mit einem U-förmigen Querschnitt, welcher von oben auf den Rand des Innenbehälters 9 aufgeschoben ist, vorgesehen. Das Dichtungselement 11 dient dazu, den Ringspalt, welcher in der geschlossenen Deckelstellung zwischen dem Deckel 4 und dem Innenbehälter 9 gebildet wird, abzudichten und auf diese Weise einen Lufteintritt in den Innenbehälter 9 über den Ringspalt zu verhindern. Konkret ist der Deckel 4 mit einem Rauchblech 12 versehen, das sich zwischen der Trichteraußenseite und dem Deckelrand 4a erstreckt und in dem Bereich, in welchem es mit dem Dichtungselement 11 in Kontakt kommt, horizontal liegt.In the housing 3, a leak-proof inner container 9 is inserted from metal, which is positioned in the housing 3 by guide elements in the form of a circumferential guide bar 10. The inner container 9 stands on feet formed here by the lowered edge 9b of the side walls so that the bottom 9a of the inner container 9 is kept spaced from the case bottom 3a, and an insulation gap is formed between the bottom 9a of the inner container 9 and the case bottom 3a becomes. In this case, a sealing element 11 in the form of a sealing ring with a U-shaped cross section, which is pushed from above onto the edge of the inner container 9, provided at the upper, facing the lid 4 edge region of the inner container 9. The sealing element 11 serves to seal the annular gap, which is formed in the closed lid position between the lid 4 and the inner container 9, and to prevent in this way an air inlet into the inner container 9 through the annular gap. Concretely, the lid 4 is provided with a smoke plate 12 extending between the funnel outer side and the lid rim 4a and lying horizontally in the area where it comes in contact with the seal member 11.

Um Fertigungsungenauigkeiten auszugleichen, ist die Anordnung so getroffen, dass das Dichtungselement 11 beim Schließen des Deckels 4 durch die Rauchplatte 12 elastisch zusammengedrückt wird und nach dem Einschnappen des Schlosses 6 in dem zusammengedrückten Zustand gehalten wird. Auf diese Weise kann sichergestellt werden, dass auch ein ungleichmäßiger Ringspalt zwischen der Rauchplatte 12 und dem Innenbehälter 9 zuverlässig abgedichtet wird und somit bei einem Brand innerhalb des Innenbehälters 9 über diesen Ringspalt keine Luft und damit kein Sauerstoff in den Innenbehälter eindringen kann.To compensate for manufacturing inaccuracies, the arrangement is such that the sealing member 11 is elastically compressed when closing the lid 4 by the smoke plate 12 and is held in the compressed state after snapping the lock 6. In this way it can be ensured that even a non-uniform annular gap between the smoke plate 12 and the inner container 9 is reliably sealed and thus in a fire within the inner container 9 via this annular gap no air and thus no oxygen can penetrate into the inner container.

In den Figuren 5 und 6 ist eine alternative Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Behältnisses dargestellt. Im Unterschied zu der zuvor anhand der Figuren 1 bis 4 beschriebenen ersten Ausführungsform sind hier in an sich bekannter Weise zwei Innenbehälter nebeneinanderstehend in dem Gehäuse 3 untergebracht, und entsprechend sind in dem Deckel 4 auch zwei Einwurföffnungen 7 vorgesehen, durch welche zu sammelndes Gut in die beiden Innenbehälter eingeworfen werden kann. Bei dieser Ausführungsform sind die beiden Ringspalte, welche zwischen dem Deckel 4 einerseits und den beiden Innenbehältern andererseits gebildet werden, jeweils durch ein Dichtungselement in der zuvor beschriebenen Weise abgedichtet.FIGS. 5 and 6 show an alternative embodiment of a container according to the invention. In contrast to the previously with reference to Figures 1 to 4 described first embodiment, two inner container are juxtaposed in the housing 3 housed here in a conventional manner, and accordingly in the lid 4, two insertion openings 7 are provided, can be inserted through which to be collected Good in the two inner container. In this embodiment, the two annular gaps, which are formed between the lid 4 on the one hand and the two inner containers on the other hand, each sealed by a sealing element in the manner described above.

Die Figur 7 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Behältnisses 1, bei dem im Bereich der Einwurföffnung 7 eine Klappe 13 angeordnet ist, die zum Einwurf von Gegenständen über ein Gelenk 14 aus einer geschlossenen Stellung nach unten in eine hier gezeigte offene Stellung verschwenkt werden kann. Die Klappe weist in einem Abschnitt hinter dem Gelenk 14, der die Einwurföffnung 7 nicht verdeckt, einen Rückstellmechanismus in der Form eines Gegengewichtes 15 auf, durch welches sich die Klappe 13 automatisch wieder in die geschlossene Stellung zurückbewegt, nachdem sie zum Einwurf von Gegenständen in die offene Stellung verschwenkt wurde.FIG. 7 shows an exemplary embodiment of the container 1 according to the invention, in which a flap 13 is arranged in the region of the insertion opening 7, which can be pivoted downwards for insertion of objects via a hinge 14 from a closed position into an open position shown here. The flap has a return mechanism in the form of a counterweight 15 in a portion behind the hinge 14, which does not obscure the insertion opening 7, through which the flap 13 automatically moves back to the closed position, after they throw objects into the open position was pivoted.
