- the upper holding element 52 is formed as a filter
- the clear mesh of the filter is determined in such a manner that the particles getting through the filter do not hinder closure of the valve 60.
- the level sensor 32 is shaped as a float, and the transmitter 30 forwards the information relating to the amount of the fat 22 collected to a central supervising unit not shown.
- the transmitter 30 transmits the signs via a mobile phone network.
- the transmitter 30 may forward other information as well to the supervising unit.
- Such information can be for example:
- the equipment placed in residential areas, housing estates, staircases or highly populated residential settlements, public buildings or near selective waste collection facilities can be used for the collection of waste fat deriving from households in such a manner that the cover 70 on the top 12 of the enclosure 10 is slid to the right as shown in Figure 1 , as a result of which the upper aperture of the funnel 50 becomes free and the valve 60 at its bottom is closed.
- the waste fat is poured into the funnel 50 from a bottle or some kind of vessel, and when the pouring is finished, the cover 70 is pushed back over the aperture 14. This is when the valve 60 opens and the fat runs down through the open valve 60 and the aperture 26 on the lid 21 to the collection tank 20.
- the capacity of the collection tank 20 is selected so that it would fill up around at the same time as the collection tank 20 of another equipment collecting similar fat fill up, so that they can be emptied on the same day. Emptying and removal is a costly operation, especially if the relatively low value of the fat collected is considered.
- the level of the fat 22 in the collection tank 20 is detected by the level sensor 32 and the transmitter 30 forwards data on the detected level to the supervising centre with a certain regularity.
- the interval between the information transmissions may be relatively long, for instance 2 hours, or even 6-8 hours.
- extraordinary data transmissions may become necessary, for instance when the collection tank 20 is filled unexpectedly quickly, e.g. after holidays, when the amount of waste fat deriving from households exceeds the usual amount. Extraordinary transmissions will be necessary when the door of the enclosure 10 is opened, or in case of an error or fire, etc.
- the supervising centre gives an instruction to change the collection tank 20.
- the operating person having opened the door of the enclosure 10, takes the lid 24 off the collection tank 20, lifts the full collection tank 20 out of the enclosure 10 by means of a barrow adapted for this purpose, and places an empty collection tank 20 in place of the full collection tank 20. Then the full collection tank 20 is covered by a lid and placed in a transport vehicle.
- no special transport vehicles are needed for transporting the collection tanks 20.
- a locking rod 44 is lead through the lid 24 and a float 42 is arranged at the lower end of the locking rod 44 while the upper end of the locking rod 44 forms a latch 40, which protrudes above the level of the top 12 when the float 42 raises and prevents the cover 70 from being slid aside.
- a float 42 is arranged at the lower end of the locking rod 44 while the upper end of the locking rod 44 forms a latch 40, which protrudes above the level of the top 12 when the float 42 raises and prevents the cover 70 from being slid aside.
- FIG. 2 shows the structure of the funnel 50 without the parts of the valve 60.
- An upper holding element 52 and a lower holding element 54 is located in the funnel 50. Both of them has a sleeve 53, 55.
- the upper holding element 52 is formed as a filter, and thereby it prevents any coarse solid waste included in the fat 22 poured down from getting into the valve 60 and blocking the valve disc 62 from closing on the valve 60, thereby blocking the valve 60 from being closed. Of course, a small amount of leakage may be allowed, it does not influence the operation of the equipment according to the invention.
- the lower holding element 54 does not need to be a filter, it is sufficient if it holds the 55 sleeve centrally in the centre-line of the funnel 50.
- both holding elements 52 and 54 may be lifted out from above from the funnel 50. In an assembled status their removal is not possible, only a person authorised to do so can lift it out together with other moving parts of the valve 60 in case the cover 70 is slid to a maintenance position, which is different from the normal operating position. In order to prevent any unauthorised persons from being able to move the cover 70 into such mounting position, there is also such a lock (not shown) on the top 12 which may be operated only from the inside of the enclosure 10.
- Figure 1 shows the cover 70 in a closed position, when the valve disc 62 and the rod 65 move downwards by their own weight.
- Figure 3 shows the cover 70 in a position slid slightly to the right towards the direction of the arrow, wherein it just begins to turn the arm 66, which lifts the rod 65 upwards along the arrow together with the valve disc 62 on the rod 65.
- Figure 4 shows the cover 70 in a completely open position, when the arm 66 is turned almost to a horizontal position and it lifts the rod 65 up completely. In such case, the valve disc 62 is pushed against the lower edge of the funnel 50, while the spring 64 is compressed and presses the valve disc 62 on the edge of the funnel 50.

Abstract
Description
- The object of the invention is equipment for collecting fluid fatty household waste.
- Fatty household waste pollutes the environment and also contains a substantial amount of utilisable energy. The disposal of such waste to household waste or the common sewer network significantly pollutes the environment. The selective collection and recycling of such household fat or oil waste would be expedient. There is no equipment known for such purpose, be means of which fatty waste generated in households could be collected. For the purposes of the present description, fluid fatty household waste includes edible oils, frying oils and other fats that can be emptied from vessels by way of gravitation.
- An object to be achieved is to provide an equipment suitable for the selective collection of fluid fatty household waste, which can be placed in residential areas, the staircases of block of flats or other places suitable for this purpose, respectively. Within the framework of the same object, it is aimed to develop the equipment in a manner that enables the collection of such collected fat, oil from the equipment, respectively.
- A further object is that the oil and oily fat collected in the equipment can be stored safely before its removal and that any unpleasant smells generated during its storage can be retained.
- In order to achieve the aimed objective, we have designed an equipment for the collection of fluid fatty household waste having the substantial features specified in Claim 1.
- Preferred embodiments of the equipment according to the invention are defined by the features of the dependent claims
- The invention will be disclosed in details with reference to the attached drawings showing exemplary embodiments of the invention. In the drawings
-
Figure 1 is the schematic sectional view of the equipment according to the invention, -
Figure 2 is the schematic sectional view of a funnel connected to a top of the equipment, -
Figure 3 is a drawing showing the co-operation of a sliding cover closing an aperture on the top of an enclosure of the equipment with a valve at the bottom of the funnel at the time when the valve is just starting to close, -
Figure 4 is a drawing correspondingFigure 3 but with a the cover completely moved aside and the valve completely closed. - The embodiment of the equipment according to the invention shown on
Figure 1 has aenclosure 10, which has an opening door not separately shown, through which acollection tank 20 may be placed into theenclosure 10. Theenclosure 10 has a strong frame structure, and is mounted with a suitable safety locking structure preventing unauthorised access to the interior of theenclosure 10. The material of theenclosure 10 and the frame structure thereof, depending on the selected manufacturing method, may be made of metal, metal alloy, plastic or any other material that complies with the relevant safety and environment protection requirements. Its shape may be an essentially rectangle or square-base prism or even a circular cylinder - In the
enclosure 10, there is a support 16 arranged, the height of which is expediently adjustable, whereon thecollection tank 20 may be placed. Thecollection tank 20 is for the safe storing and removal of the fluid household fat to be collected, and accordingly, it complies with the relevant safety and environment protection requirements. It may be made of both plastic and metal. It is expedient to use tanks normally applied for such purpose, mounted with a snapping lid and a handhold for its moving by human force. Of course, thecollection tank 20 may have a different shape, with such outer dimensions and capacity that are sufficient for the receiving thefat 22 to be prospectively collected by the equipment. - When the
collection tank 20 is put in, its lid must be removed, and it must be placed on the support 16 with the lid removed. Within theenclosure 10, there is alid 24 having a similar shape, which is, however, fixed and may be removed from theenclosure 10 only by appropriate dismounting operations. Such removal is not necessary when thecollection tank 20 is changed after it has filled. The function of thelid 24 shall be specified in more detail later below. - On its upper side the
enclosure 10 is closed by atop 12, which has anaperture 14 arranged approximately in its middle. From theaperture 14, afunnel 50 for receiving the fat reaches downwards towards thecollection tank 20. Thefunnel 50 tapers downwards and a valve 60 is attached to its lower edge; while below the valve 60 an aperture 26 is formed on thelid 24 which is adapted to let thefat 22 flow through down from thefunnel 50. - The valve 60 attached to the
funnel 50 has avalve disc 62, which is arranged slideably along therod 65. A washer 61 is affixed to the lower end of therod 65, for example by means of a nut screwed onto a thread cut on therod 65 or any other suitable fixing element. There is aspring 64 between the washer 61 and thevalve disc 62. Therod 65 is located along the axle of thefunnel 50, and its central position is determined by holdingelements funnel 50 and havesleeves Figure 3 , and hold therod 65 in such a manner that it remains moveable upwards and downwards. At least the upper one of theholding elements - In case of the present embodiment, the
aperture 14 formed on thetop 12 is closed by acover 70, which can be slid sideways alongguide rails 76. Thecover 70 and the valve 60 cooperate with one another so that only one of them is open at the same time. Thecover 70 operates the valve 60 in such a manner that when thecover 70 us slid to open position, the valve 60 closes. To this end, anarm 66 is joined pivoting to the upper end of therod 65 of the valve 60, and it is passed through the guidingsleeve 67 located at the edge of thefunnel 50. The guidingsleeve 67 can be pivoted around thehinge 68. In case theupper holding element 52 is formed as a filter, the clear mesh of the filter is determined in such a manner that the particles getting through the filter do not hinder closure of the valve 60. - There is a
bellow 56 between thelid 24 and the outer surface of thefunnel 50, which bellow 56 prevents oil flowing down from thefunnel 50 from getting to unwanted places within theenclosure 10. Should the collected fat escape despite of the above due to a leakage, it will be collected by a tray placed in the bottom of theenclosure 10, which tray may also be emptied when thecollection tank 20 is changed. - There is a
transmitter 30 in the interior of theenclosure 10, whichtransmitter 30 is connected to alevel sensor 32 detecting the level of thefat 22 in thecollection tank 20. In case of the embodiment shown, thelevel sensor 32 is shaped as a float, and thetransmitter 30 forwards the information relating to the amount of thefat 22 collected to a central supervising unit not shown. Expediently, thetransmitter 30 transmits the signs via a mobile phone network. Furthermore, thetransmitter 30 may forward other information as well to the supervising unit. Such information can be for example: - the level of the
fat 22 in thecollection tank 20, - the time when the
enclosure 10 is opened, - loss of energy supply or low energy supply,
- error signal,
- temperature signal or fire alarm,
- smoke alarm, etc.
- The function of the equipment according to the invention is described with reference to
Figs. 1 to 4 . - The equipment placed in residential areas, housing estates, staircases or highly populated residential settlements, public buildings or near selective waste collection facilities can be used for the collection of waste fat deriving from households in such a manner that the
cover 70 on thetop 12 of theenclosure 10 is slid to the right as shown inFigure 1 , as a result of which the upper aperture of thefunnel 50 becomes free and the valve 60 at its bottom is closed. The waste fat is poured into thefunnel 50 from a bottle or some kind of vessel, and when the pouring is finished, thecover 70 is pushed back over theaperture 14. This is when the valve 60 opens and the fat runs down through the open valve 60 and the aperture 26 on the lid 21 to thecollection tank 20. The capacity of thecollection tank 20 is selected so that it would fill up around at the same time as thecollection tank 20 of another equipment collecting similar fat fill up, so that they can be emptied on the same day. Emptying and removal is a costly operation, especially if the relatively low value of the fat collected is considered. - The level of the
fat 22 in thecollection tank 20 is detected by thelevel sensor 32 and thetransmitter 30 forwards data on the detected level to the supervising centre with a certain regularity. Considering that it is not very likely that thecollection tank 20 will fill up quickly, the interval between the information transmissions may be relatively long, for instance 2 hours, or even 6-8 hours. In addition to regular data transmissions, extraordinary data transmissions may become necessary, for instance when thecollection tank 20 is filled unexpectedly quickly, e.g. after holidays, when the amount of waste fat deriving from households exceeds the usual amount. Extraordinary transmissions will be necessary when the door of theenclosure 10 is opened, or in case of an error or fire, etc. - When the level of the fat 22 in the
collection tank 20 reaches a preset value, the supervising centre gives an instruction to change thecollection tank 20. Upon changing, the operating person, having opened the door of theenclosure 10, takes thelid 24 off thecollection tank 20, lifts thefull collection tank 20 out of theenclosure 10 by means of a barrow adapted for this purpose, and places anempty collection tank 20 in place of thefull collection tank 20. Then thefull collection tank 20 is covered by a lid and placed in a transport vehicle. In connection with the foregoing, it is to be noted that no special transport vehicles are needed for transporting thecollection tanks 20. - Furthermore, a locking rod 44 is lead through the
lid 24 and a float 42 is arranged at the lower end of the locking rod 44 while the upper end of the locking rod 44 forms a latch 40, which protrudes above the level of the top 12 when the float 42 raises and prevents thecover 70 from being slid aside. Such kind of locking the equipment should be avoided because it has a highly unfavourable psychological effect on the persons for bringing fat to the equipment in vain. -
Figure 2 shows the structure of thefunnel 50 without the parts of the valve 60. An upper holdingelement 52 and alower holding element 54 is located in thefunnel 50. Both of them has asleeve 53, 55. Theupper holding element 52 is formed as a filter, and thereby it prevents any coarse solid waste included in the fat 22 poured down from getting into the valve 60 and blocking thevalve disc 62 from closing on the valve 60, thereby blocking the valve 60 from being closed. Of course, a small amount of leakage may be allowed, it does not influence the operation of the equipment according to the invention. Thelower holding element 54 does not need to be a filter, it is sufficient if it holds the 55 sleeve centrally in the centre-line of thefunnel 50. To allow cleaning of the equipment both holdingelements funnel 50. In an assembled status their removal is not possible, only a person authorised to do so can lift it out together with other moving parts of the valve 60 in case thecover 70 is slid to a maintenance position, which is different from the normal operating position. In order to prevent any unauthorised persons from being able to move thecover 70 into such mounting position, there is also such a lock (not shown) on the top 12 which may be operated only from the inside of theenclosure 10. Such lock is not unavoidably necessary if thearm 66 operating the valve 60 is formed in such a way that it prevents thecover 70 from being moved into the mounting position, except if after theenclosure 10 is opened, therod 65 of the valve 60 is pushed upwards by hand, resulting in thearm 66 overlying onto the upper surface of the top 12 and may give free way to sliding thecover 70 as much as wanted. -
Figure 1 shows thecover 70 in a closed position, when thevalve disc 62 and therod 65 move downwards by their own weight.Figure 3 shows thecover 70 in a position slid slightly to the right towards the direction of the arrow, wherein it just begins to turn thearm 66, which lifts therod 65 upwards along the arrow together with thevalve disc 62 on therod 65. When the 66 is being turned, at the same time it slides in the guidingsleeve 67.Figure 4 shows thecover 70 in a completely open position, when thearm 66 is turned almost to a horizontal position and it lifts therod 65 up completely. In such case, thevalve disc 62 is pushed against the lower edge of thefunnel 50, while thespring 64 is compressed and presses thevalve disc 62 on the edge of thefunnel 50.
