Description

La présente invention concerne un bac de collecte de déchets muni de surfaces de préhension.The present invention relates to a waste collection bin provided with gripping surfaces.

On connaît, dans l'état de la technique, un bac de collecte de déchets, comprenant des surfaces de préhension destinées à coopérer avec des moyens de préhension d'un appareil de levage, monté par exemple sur un camion de collecte d'ordures.Known in the state of the art, a waste collection bin, comprising gripping surfaces for cooperating with gripping means of a hoist, mounted for example on a garbage collection truck.

On entend par surface de préhension toute partie du bac susceptible d'être au contact avec l'appareil de levage, par exemple par appui, frottement, coincement ou pincement.The gripping surface means any part of the tray likely to be in contact with the lifting device, for example by support, friction, jamming or pinching.

La surface de préhension peut être une partie d'une collerette située autour de l'ouverture supérieure du bac. Cette collerette permet à un bras mécanique de l'appareil de levage de s'y coincer pour soulever et renverser le bac.The gripping surface may be a part of a flange located around the upper opening of the tray. This collar allows a mechanical arm of the hoist to jam there to lift and reverse the tray.

Il est par ailleurs fréquent que le bras mécanique prenne appui sur une paroi frontale externe du bac de collecte pour faciliter sa manipulation.It is also common for the mechanical arm to rest on an external front wall of the collection tray to facilitate its handling.

Un autre type de moyens de préhension consiste en une pince qui saisit le bac par sa paroi latérale externe. Dans ce cas, le bac de collecte a généralement une section circulaire pour éviter tout problème d'orientation lors de la saisie. La pince de l'appareil de levage saisit le bac à une hauteur prédéterminée. La zone de la paroi latérale externe du bac située à cette hauteur prédéterminée constitue donc la surface de préhension.Another type of gripping means consists of a gripper which grips the tray by its external lateral wall. In this case, the collection tray usually has a circular section to avoid any orientation problem when entering. The gripper of the hoist grasps the tray at a predetermined height. The area of the outer side wall of the tray located at this predetermined height therefore constitutes the gripping surface.

A chaque manipulation d'un bac de collecte, les moyens de préhension endommagent les surfaces de préhension de ce bac. Ces dommages sont dus notamment à des chocs, au serrage ou à des frottements. Etant donné que les bacs de collecte sont généralement réalisés en matière thermoplastique tel que du polyéthylène, ces dégradations prennent la forme de rayures, de creux ou de déformations de la surface de préhension. Le document US 5 088 750 présente un exemple d'un tel bac.At each handling of a collection tank, the gripping means damage the gripping surfaces of this tray. This damage is due in particular to shocks, tightening or friction. Since the collection bins are generally made of thermoplastic material such as polyethylene, these degradations take the form of scratches, hollows or deformations of the gripping surface. The document US 5,088,750 shows an example of such a tray.

Ces dégradations d'aspect du bac de collecte sont particulièrement inesthétiques et donnent l'impression visuelle que le bac est vieux et doit être remplacé. Il s'agit là bien entendu d'une préoccupation purement esthétique qui ne remet pas en cause la solidité du bac. Cependant, les clients exigent de plus en plus que les bacs de collecte aient un aspect aussi neuf et parfait que possible car ils sont un symbole de propreté. Le remplacement des bacs dont la paroi externe est dégradée représente une part importante du budget des entreprises de gestion de bacs de collecte.These deterioration of appearance of the collection tray are particularly unsightly and give the visual impression that the tray is old and must be replaced. This is of course a purely aesthetic concern that does not call into question the strength of the tank. However, customers are increasingly demanding that the collection bins look as new and perfect as they are a symbol of cleanliness. The replacement of bins with the external wall degraded represents a significant part of the budget collection bins management companies.

L'invention a pour but de proposer un bac de collecte de déchets dont la surface de préhension résiste aux agressions causées par des manipulations fréquentes.The invention aims to provide a waste collection bin whose gripping surface resists attacks caused by frequent handling.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un bac de collecte de déchets, comprenant au moins une surface de préhension destinée à coopérer avec des moyens de préhension d'un appareil de levage, caractérisé en ce que la surface de préhension du bac comprend des aspérités aptes à atténuer la visibilité de dégradations de surface causées par les moyens de préhension.To this end, the subject of the invention is a waste collection bin, comprising at least one gripping surface intended to cooperate with means for gripping a lifting apparatus, characterized in that the gripping surface of the container comprises asperities capable of attenuating the visibility of surface damage caused by the gripping means.

L'invention consiste donc à remplacer les surfaces de préhension lisses, fragiles et vulnérables aux rayures, par des surfaces de préhension rugueuses, irrégulières et présentant des aspérités.The invention therefore consists in replacing the gripping surfaces which are smooth, fragile and vulnerable to scratching by rough, irregular and rough gripping surfaces.

Grâce aux aspérités, les contacts fréquents entre les moyens de préhension et les surfaces de préhension n'ont presque pas d'effet sur leur aspect.Due to the roughness, the frequent contacts between the gripping means and the gripping surfaces have almost no effect on their appearance.

Un bac de collecte de déchets selon l'invention peut comporter l'une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes :

  • les aspérités comprennent un grainage de la surface de préhension, de préférence le grainage connu sous la référence EG TG3120 du fournisseur français Est Grainage.
  • les aspérités comprennent des rayures,
  • les rayures sont orientées de manière aléatoire,
  • le bac de collecte de déchets est réalisé en matière thermoplastique,

  • le bac de collecte de déchets est réalisé en métal,
  • la surface de préhension comprend une collerette supérieure du bac de collecte,
  • la surface de préhension comprend une zone de frottement située sous la collerette sur la paroi frontale externe du bac,
  • la surface de préhension comprend une zone d'appui sur une paroi frontale externe du bac,
  • la surface de préhension est rapportée sur le bac et fixée par exemple par collage,
  • la surface de préhension est un film autocollant.
A waste collection tank according to the invention may comprise one or more of the following characteristics:
  • the asperities comprise a graining of the gripping surface, preferably the graining known under the reference EG TG3120 from the French supplier East Grainage.
  • the asperities include scratches,
  • the stripes are randomly oriented,
  • the waste collection bin is made of thermoplastic material,

  • the gripping surface is a self-adhesive film.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est un schéma en perspective d'un bac de collecte de déchets selon l'invention ;
  • les figures 2 et 3 sont des schémas de profil du bac de collecte de déchets représenté sur la figure 1 et des moyens de préhension d'un appareil de levage.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example and with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • the figure 1 is a perspective diagram of a waste collection bin according to the invention;
  • the Figures 2 and 3 are profile diagrams of the waste collection bin shown on the figure 1 and means for gripping a hoisting apparatus.

On a représenté sur la figure 1 un bac de collecte de déchets, désigné par la référence générale 10, réalisé en matière thermoplastique, par exemple en polyéthylène. Ce bac 10 comprend un couvercle 12, des roues 14 et une poignée 16.We have shown on the figure 1 a waste collection bin, designated by the general reference 10, made of thermoplastic material, for example polyethylene. This tray 10 comprises a lid 12, wheels 14 and a handle 16.

La paroi externe du bac 10 comprend une paroi avant 18 aussi appelée paroi frontale, une paroi arrière 20 et deux parois latérales 22.The outer wall of the tank 10 comprises a front wall 18 also called a front wall, a rear wall 20 and two side walls 22.

Le bac 10 comprend, à son extrémité supérieure, une collerette 24 destinée à faciliter sa manipulation.The tray 10 comprises, at its upper end, a flange 24 intended to facilitate handling.

Comme représenté sur les figures 2 et 3, on utilise un appareil de levage 26 comprenant des moyens 28 de préhension du bac 10 pour le manipuler.As shown on Figures 2 and 3 , a lifting device 26 comprising means 28 for gripping the tray 10 is used to manipulate it.

La partie supérieure des moyens 28 de préhension comprend un peigne 30, apte à s'engager sous la collerette 24 du bac 10. Sur la figure 3, le peigne 30 est engagé sous la collerette 24.The upper part of the gripping means 28 comprises a comb 30, able to engage under the collar 24 of the tray 10. On the figure 3 the comb 30 is engaged under the collar 24.

La partie inférieure des moyens 28 de préhension comprend un patin d'appui 32 destiné à venir en contact avec la paroi frontale 18 du bac 10.The lower part of the gripping means 28 comprises a bearing pad 32 intended to come into contact with the front wall 18 of the container 10.

Les parties du bac 10 susceptibles d'être en contact avec le peigne 30, le patin d'appui 32 ou toute autre partie des moyens 28 de préhension lors de la manipulation du bac 10 constituent des surfaces de préhension 34 destinées à coopérer avec les moyens 28 de préhension.The parts of the tray 10 which may be in contact with the comb 30, the support pad 32 or any other part of the gripping means 28 during handling of the tray 10 constitute gripping surfaces 34 intended to cooperate with the means 28 gripping.

Dans l'exemple représenté, les surfaces de préhension 34 comprennent :

  • une zone d'appui 36 de la paroi frontale 18 sur laquelle s'appuie le patin d'appui 32,
  • l'intérieur de la collerette 24 dans lequel s'engage le peigne 30,
  • une zone 38 de frottement de la paroi frontale 18 située directement sous la collerette, d'une hauteur d'environ 150 millimètres, et sur laquelle le peigne 30 frotte, lors de son engagement sous la collerette 24, comme cela est visible sur la figure 2,
  • des parois frontale 40 et supérieure 42 de la collerette susceptibles d'être en contact avec les moyens 28 de préhension.
In the example shown, the gripping surfaces 34 comprise:
  • a bearing zone 36 of the front wall 18 on which the support pad 32 rests,
  • the inside of the flange 24 in which the comb 30 engages,
  • a zone 38 of friction of the front wall 18 located directly under the flange, a height of about 150 millimeters, and on which the comb 30 rubs, when it is engaged under the flange 24, as can be seen on FIG. figure 2 ,
  • front walls 40 and upper 42 of the flange may be in contact with the means 28 for gripping.

De manière à atténuer la visibilité de dégradations de surface causées par les moyens de préhension 28, les surfaces de préhension 34 comprennent des aspérités sous la forme d'un grainage de surface.In order to reduce the visibility of surface damage caused by the gripping means 28, the gripping surfaces 34 comprise asperities in the form of surface graining.

Le grainage de surface est obtenu par traitement d'une partie de la surface interne du moule de fabrication du bac de collecte. Ce traitement consiste par exemple en une attaque chimique de la surface interne du moule ou en un sablage de cette surface interne.The surface graining is obtained by treating a portion of the inner surface of the manufacturing mold of the collection tray. This treatment consists for example in a chemical attack of the inner surface of the mold or sanding of this inner surface.

Le grainage pourrait également être obtenu par un traitement direct de la surface externe du bac, par exemple au moyen d'un abrasif.The graining could also be obtained by a direct treatment of the outer surface of the tray, for example by means of an abrasive.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation non représenté, la surface de préhension comprend un film autocollant comportant des aspérités et rapporté par collage sur le bac de collecte. Grâce à ce mode de réalisation, il est possible de remplacer le film autocollant lorsqu'il présente des traces importantes d'usure. Cela permet de prolonger la durée de vie du bac de collecte.According to another embodiment not shown, the gripping surface comprises a self-adhesive film having asperities and reported by gluing on the collection tray. With this embodiment, it is possible to replace the self-adhesive film when it shows significant traces of wear. This will extend the life of the collection bin.

Bien entendu, on pourra doter le bac de collecte de tous types d'aspérités, notamment des rayures. Toutefois, on prendra soin de disposer les aspérités de manière désordonnée de sorte que les rayures et autres traces d'usure se fondent parmi les aspérités et restent invisibles.Of course, we can provide the collection tray of all types of asperities, including scratches. However, care should be taken to arrange the asperities in a disordered manner so that scratches and other signs of wear melt among the rough edges and remain invisible.
