Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des bacs de collecte de déchets.The present invention relates to the field of waste collection bins.

On sait que les déchets contenus dans un tel bac de collecte dégagent souvent des odeurs liées à la fermentation des déchets et à leur décomposition. Ces odeurs sont désagréables et attirent des insectes.It is known that the waste contained in such a collection tank often gives off odors related to the fermentation of waste and their decomposition. These smells are unpleasant and attract insects.

La présente invention a pour but notamment de résoudre ce problème.The present invention aims in particular to solve this problem.

A cet effet, la présente invention concerne un bac de collecte de déchets muni d'un logement de réception d'un élément anti-odeurs jetable, le logement comprenant une extrémité, dite d'insertion, par laquelle l'élément anti-odeurs est destiné à être inséré et une autre extrémité, dite d'éjection, par laquelle l'élément anti-odeurs est destiné à être éjecté. On comprend que l'élément est ainsi éjecté directement dans le bac, de sorte que la simple insertion d'un nouvel élément dans le logement mette au rebut l'élément usagé, ce qui évite à l'utilisateur d'être en contact avec l'élément usagé.For this purpose, the present invention relates to a waste collection bin provided with a receptacle for receiving a disposable anti-odor element, the housing comprising an end, called insertion end, through which the anti-odor element is intended to be inserted and another end, called ejection, by which the anti-odor element is intended to be ejected. It is understood that the element is thus ejected directly into the tray, so that simply inserting a new element into the housing discard the used element, which prevents the user from being in contact with the device. used item.

Un tel bac permet de neutraliser de manière simple et efficace les odeurs qui s'en dégagent. En effet grâce au logement, l'élément anti-odeurs peut facilement être inséré par l'extrémité d'insertion du logement. Par ailleurs, lorsque l'élément anti-odeurs doit être changé, il peut être éjecté par l'autre extrémité et ainsi tomber directement dans le bac. Ainsi on peut prévoir qu'un utilisateur puisse éjecter un élément anti-odeurs usagé par simple insertion d'un nouvel élément anti-odeurs dans le logement via l'extrémité d'insertion, le nouvel élément anti-odeurs pouvant alors pousser l'élément anti-odeurs usagé et l'éjecter, via l'extrémité d'éjection du logement, hors du logement. L'élément anti-odeurs usagé tombe directement dans le bac de façon à éviter à l'utilisateur de le toucher. Aussi, en un seul mouvement simple, le nouvel élément anti-odeurs est mis en place et l'élément usagé est mis au rebut.Such a tray can neutralize in a simple and effective way smells that emerge. Indeed, thanks to the housing, the anti-odor element can easily be inserted through the insertion end of the housing. On the other hand, when the anti-odor element has to be changed, it can be ejected by the other end and thus fall directly into the tank. Thus, it is possible for a user to be able to eject a used anti-odor element by simply inserting a new anti-odor element into the housing via the insertion end, the new anti-odor element then being able to push the element anti-odor used and eject, via the ejection end of the housing, out of housing. The used anti-odor element falls directly into the tank so that the user can not touch it. Also, in a single simple movement, the new anti-odor element is put in place and the used element is discarded.

On notera que le bac de collecte peut être tout type de bac susceptible de recueillir et stocker des déchets : un bac sur roulettes, un conteneur enterré ou semi-enterré, une colonne, etc. Généralement, le bac comprend une cuve et un couvercle.It should be noted that the collection bin may be any type of tank capable of collecting and storing waste: a bin on wheels, a buried or semi-buried container, a column, etc. Generally, the tank comprises a tank and a lid.

Afin d'augmenter l'efficacité de l'élément anti-odeurs, il est avantageux que le logement soit configuré pour laisser passer de l'air autour de l'élément anti-odeurs. De préférence, l'élément anti-odeurs comprend deux surfaces principales, par exemple un fond et un couvercle, et le le logement est configuré pour laisser passer l'air au moins par l'une de ces deux surfaces et de préférences par les deux, c'est-à-dire que l'on prévoit un espace entre les surfaces et les parois correspondantes du logement. En effet, les mouvements d'air au contact de l'élément anti-odeurs peuvent activer la diffusion du principe actif dans le volume odorant et favoriser son action sur les molécules odorantes.In order to increase the efficiency of the anti-odor element, it is advantageous that the housing is configured to allow air to pass around the anti-odor element. Preferably, the anti-odor element comprises two main surfaces, for example a bottom and a lid, and the housing is configured to allow air to pass through at least one of these two surfaces and preferably by both of them. that is to say that a space is provided between the surfaces and the corresponding walls of the housing. Indeed, the air movements in contact with the anti-odor element can activate the diffusion of the active ingredient in the odor volume and promote its action on odor molecules.

En outre, selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, le logement comprend des moyens de guidage de l'élément anti-odeurs entre l'extrémité d'insertion et l'extrémité d'éjection, par exemple des rails de guidage. Ces moyens de guidage simplifient l'opération d'insertion et de remplacement de l'élément anti-odeurs et permettent en outre de prévoir que l'insertion d'un élément anti-odeurs neuf provoque automatiquement l'éjection d'un élément anti-odeurs usagé.In addition, according to an advantageous embodiment, the housing comprises means for guiding the odor control element between the insertion end and the end. ejection, for example guide rails. These guiding means simplify the operation of insertion and replacement of the anti-odor element and also make it possible to provide that the insertion of a new anti-odor element automatically causes the ejection of an anti-odor element. odors used.

Avantageusement, les moyens de guidage sont des moyens de guidage d'une collerette de l'élément anti-odeurs, ce qui permet de simplifier la forme de ces moyens de guidage et d'assurer que l'élément anti-odeurs ne puisse pas tomber accidentellement dans le bac.Advantageously, the guide means are means for guiding a flange of the anti-odor element, which simplifies the shape of these guide means and ensures that the anti-odor element can not fall. accidentally in the bin.

De plus, l'élément anti-odeurs pouvant prendre une position dite d'utilisation dans le logement, il est avantageux que les moyens de guidage soient également des moyens de serrage de l'élément anti-odeurs en position d'utilisation. Le serrage s'effectue préférentiellement par pincement de l'élément anti-odeurs entre deux parois du logement espacés d'une distance légèrement inférieure à l'épaisseur d'une partie de l'élément anti-odeurs. Ceci permet de maintenir l'élément anti-odeurs dans son logement de réception de manière simple. En effet, une fois l'élément anti-odeurs inséré dans le logement, il est maintenu en position d'utilisation par serrage par les moyens de guidage. Lorsque l'on veut changer l'élément anti-odeurs, il suffit de pousser sur le nouvel élément avec une force supérieure à la force de serrage que les moyens de guidage exercent sur l'élément anti-odeurs.In addition, the anti-odor element can take a position called use in the housing, it is advantageous that the guide means are also clamping means of the anti-odor element in the use position. Tightening is preferably effected by clamping the odor-resistant element between two walls of the housing spaced a distance slightly less than the thickness of a portion of the anti-odor element. This keeps the odor element in its receiving housing in a simple manner. Indeed, once the anti-odor element inserted in the housing, it is held in the clamping position by the guide means. When one wants to change the anti-odor element, simply push on the new element with a force greater than the clamping force that the guide means exert on the anti-odor element.

Le logement peut également comporter des ergots de retenue de l'élément anti-odeurs en position d'utilisation. Ces ergots sont de préférence agencés au voisinage de l'extrémité d'insertion et/ou de l'extrémité d'éjection du logement. Ces ergots peuvent être escamotables ou encore passés en force, de façon à pouvoir facilement insérer ou éjecter l'élément anti-odeurs. Ils constituent un moyen simple de retenue de l'élément anti-odeurs en position d'utilisation.The housing may also include holding pins of the odor control element in the use position. These lugs are preferably arranged in the vicinity of the insertion end and / or the ejection end of the housing. These lugs can be retractable or passed in force, so that you can easily insert or eject the anti-odor element. They constitute a simple means of retaining the anti-odor element in the use position.

Les ergots peuvent être utilisés seuls ou en complément de moyens de serrage, afin notamment d'éviter que l'utilisateur ne pousse l'élément anti-odeurs trop profondément dans le logement, au risque de le faire tomber dans le bac.The lugs may be used alone or in addition to clamping means, in particular to prevent the user pushing the anti-odor element too deeply in the housing, the risk of falling into the tray.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le bac est réalisé par moulage et le logement est venu de moulage avec le bac, ou du moins une partie du bac, telle que la cuve ou le couvercle..According to one embodiment, the tray is made by molding and the mold housing has come with the tray, or at least a portion of the tray, such as the tank or lid.

Le logement peut être également rapporté sur le bac, ce qui évite de modifier les moules existants.The housing can also be attached to the tray, which avoids modifying the existing molds.

L'élément anti-odeurs jetable est généralement constitué de matériaux non toxiques qui peuvent être traités, lorsqu'il est usagé, avec les déchets ménagers. Par ailleurs, l'élément anti-odeurs peut comprendre un matériau absorbant les odeurs ou un matériau diffusant une substance neutralisante et/ou masquante.The disposable anti-odor element is generally made of non-toxic materials that can be treated, when used, with household waste. In addition, the anti-odor element may comprise an odor-absorbing material or a material that diffuses a neutralizing and / or masking substance.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'élément anti-odeurs jetable peut comprendre une cartouche contenant une substance anti-odeurs telle que du charbon actif, qui a de bonnes propriétés d'adsorption des odeurs. Par exemple, l'élément anti-odeurs comprend un boitier ajouré, en matière plastique, contenant du charbon actif.According to one embodiment, the disposable anti-odor element may comprise a cartridge containing an anti-odor substance such as activated carbon, which has good odor adsorption properties. For example, the anti-odor element comprises a perforated housing, made of plastic, containing activated carbon.

L'élément anti-odeurs jetable peut aussi comprendre un support imbibé d'une substance anti-odeurs. Par exemple, l'élément anti-odeurs comprend un simple disque non tissé imbibé d'une solution anti-odeurs, ou de toute autre solution anti-odeurs pouvant être introduite dans le logement.The disposable anti-odor element may also include a support soaked with an anti-odor substance. For example, the anti-odor element comprises a simple non-woven disc impregnated with an anti-odor solution, or any other anti-odor solution that can be introduced into the housing.

Avantageusement, le logement est placé dans le couvercle du bac. En effet, le couvercle est une partie du bac qui est facilement accessible. De plus, une telle localisation permet d'éviter que l'élément anti-odeurs soit souillé par des déchets ou qu'il ne soit délogé lors du remplissage ou du vidage du bac.Advantageously, the housing is placed in the lid of the tray. Indeed, the lid is a part of the tray that is easily accessible. In addition, such a location makes it possible to prevent the anti-odor element from being contaminated with waste or to be dislodged during the filling or emptying of the bin.

Un autre avantage de cette localisation réside dans le fait que l'on peut ainsi équiper des bacs déjà en service ou remplacer un logement défectueux, en changeant uniquement le couvercle des bacs et non la totalité du bac.Another advantage of this location lies in the fact that one can thus equip bins already in service or replace a defective housing, by changing only the lid of the bins and not the entire bin.

Cela permet également au fabricant de bac de proposer un bac avec ou sans logement aux utilisateurs et ce, en changeant uniquement le couvercle et en ayant une cuve standard.This also allows the tray manufacturer to offer a tray with or without housing to users by changing only the lid and having a standard bowl.

En outre, le logement peut être est configuré pour recevoir un élément anti-odeurs lorsque le couvercle du bac est fermé. Ainsi, l'opération de remplacement de l'élément anti-odeurs est facilitée. L'ouverture du logement étant accessible lorsque le couvercle du bac est fermé, il suffit de venir placer le nouvel élément anti-odeurs face à l'extrémité d'insertion du logement et de pousser sur le nouvel élément anti-odeurs pour que ce dernier pousse l'élément anti-odeurs usagé hors du logement, via son extrémité d'éjection, directement dans le bac et ce, sans avoir à ouvrir le couvercle du bac.In addition, the housing may be configured to receive an anti-odor element when the tray lid is closed. Thus, the operation of replacing the anti-odor element is facilitated. The opening of the housing being accessible when the lid of the tray is closed, just come to place the new anti-odor element facing the insertion end of the housing and push on the new anti-odor element for the latter push the used anti-odor element out of the housing, via its ejection end, directly into the tank without having to open the lid of the tank.

L'invention concerne également un couvercle de bac de collecte de déchets portant le logement de réception de l'élément anti-odeurs jetable ainsi qu'un ensemble formé d'un élément anti-odeurs jetable, d'un bac ou d'un couvercle portant le logement de réception de l'élément anti-odeurs jetable.The invention also relates to a waste collection container lid carrying the receiving housing of the disposable anti-odor element and a unit consisting of a disposable anti-odor element, a tray or a lid. carrying the receiving housing of the disposable anti-odor element.

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 dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue schématique d'un bac de collecte de déchets muni d'un logement selon un mode de réalisation,
  • la figure 2 est un agrandissement de la figure 1 montrant le logement, et
  • la figure 3 est une vue du dessous du logement, l'élément anti-odeurs étant en position d'utilisation.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example and with reference to the drawings in which:
  • the figure 1 is a schematic view of a waste collection bin provided with a housing according to an embodiment,
  • the figure 2 is an enlargement of the figure 1 showing housing, and
  • the figure 3 is a view from below of the housing, the anti-odor element being in use position.

On a représenté à la figure 1 un bac 10 de collecte de déchets, correspondant dans cet exemple à un bac roulant. Le bac 10 comporte une cuve 12 et un couvercle 14, il est muni d'un logement 16 de réception d'un élément anti-odeurs jetable 18.We have shown figure 1 a bin 10 for collecting waste, corresponding in this example to a rolling bin. The tank 10 comprises a tank 12 and a cover 14, it is provided with a housing 16 for receiving a disposable anti-odor element 18.

Les flèches représentées aux figures 1 à 3 représentent le sens de déplacement de l'élément anti-odeurs 18 lorsqu'il est inséré puis éjecté du logement 16.The arrows represented Figures 1 to 3 represent the direction of movement of the anti-odor element 18 when inserted and ejected from the housing 16.

Sur la figure 2, on peut voir que ce logement 16 comprend une extrémité 20, dite d'insertion, par laquelle l'élément anti-odeurs 18 est destiné à être inséré et une extrémité 22, dite d'éjection, par laquelle l'élément anti-odeurs 18 est destiné à être éjecté.On the figure 2 , it can be seen that this housing 16 comprises an end 20, said insertion, by which the anti-odor element 18 is intended to be inserted and an end 22, called ejection, by which the anti-odor element 18 is intended to be ejected.

Le logement 16 est un logement ouvert : d'une part les extrémités 20 et 22 ne comprennent pas de paroi, pour permettre l'insertion et l'éjection faciles de l'élément 18, mais en outre il ne comporte pas de fond dans cet exemple. Toujours dans cet exemple, le logement 16 est délimité, dans sa partie supérieure, par la paroi supérieure du couvercle 14 et, sur les côtés, par deux parois 24, ayant sensiblement la forme de baguettes s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement au rebord du couvercle 14 et sensiblement parallèlement à la surface supérieure du couvercle 14, en laissant un espace pour une collerette de l'élément 18, comme cela est décrit dans la suite.The housing 16 is an open housing: on the one hand the ends 20 and 22 do not comprise a wall, to allow the easy insertion and ejection of the element 18, but in addition it has no bottom in this example. Still in this example, the housing 16 is delimited, in its upper part, by the upper wall of the lid 14 and, on the sides, by two walls 24, having substantially the shape of rods extending substantially perpendicularly to the rim of the lid 14 and substantially parallel to the top surface of the cover 14, leaving a space for a flange of the member 18, as described below.

La section de l'extrémité d'insertion 20 est de forme en « T » ce qui permet d'accueillir un élément anti-odeurs 18 comprenant dans cet exemple une cartouche, ou un boitier ajouré, contenant du charbon actif. Ce boitier comporte deux surfaces principales : un fond et un couvercle muni d'une collerette 26, ayant un diamètre supérieur à celui du fond, de façon à aider à la préhension du boîtier.The section of the insertion end 20 is of "T" shape which allows to accommodate an anti-odor element 18 comprising in this example a cartridge, or a perforated housing, containing activated carbon. This box has two main surfaces: a bottom and a cover provided with a flange 26, having a diameter greater than that of the bottom, so as to assist in gripping the housing.

Le logement de réception 16 comprend des moyens de guidage de l'élément anti-odeurs 18 entre l'extrémité d'insertion 20 et l'extrémité d'éjection 22. Ces moyens de guidage sont formés par les parois 24, composant ainsi des rails de guidage de forme parallélépipédique.The reception housing 16 comprises means for guiding the odor-preventing element 18 between the insertion end 20 and the ejection end 22. These guiding means are formed by the walls 24, thus forming rails. guide of parallelepiped shape.

Dans l'exemple décrit, et comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3, les moyens de guidage 24 sont également des moyens de serrage de l'élément anti-odeurs 18 dans une position d'utilisation. En effet, les baguettes 24 sont espacées entre elles d'une distance légèrement inférieure au diamètre de l'élément 18, si bien que les moyens de guidage 24 serrent l'élément anti-odeurs 18 latéralement.In the example described, and as can be seen on the figure 3 , the guiding means 24 are also clamping means of the odor control element 18 in a position of use. Indeed, the rods 24 are spaced apart by a distance slightly less than the diameter of the element 18, so that the guide means 24 clamp the odor control element 18 laterally.

On peut voir sur la figure 3 que la collerette 26 est disposée entre les moyens de guidage 24 et la paroi supérieure du couvercle 14, de façon à retenir l'élément anti-odeurs 18 dans le logement 16 dans la direction verticale de façon à s'opposer au poids de l'élément 18 et à l'empêcher de tomber.We can see on the figure 3 that the flange 26 is disposed between the guide means 24 and the upper wall of the cover 14, so as to retain the odor-preventing element 18 in the housing 16 in the vertical direction so as to oppose the weight of the element 18 and to prevent it from falling.

Les moyens de guidage 24 portent éventuellement des ergots de retenue 28 agencés au voisinage de l'extrémité d'insertion 20 et de l'extrémité d'éjection 22 du logement 16.The guide means 24 may carry retaining lugs 28 arranged in the vicinity of the insertion end 20 and the ejection end 22 of the housing 16.

L'air peut circuler facilement autour de l'élément anti-odeurs 18. D'une part, le logement 16 ne comprend pas de fond, c'est-à-dire que le fond de l'élément 18 est directement exposé vers les déchets de la cuve, de façon à mieux absorber leurs odeurs. Par ailleurs, on peut prévoir éventuellement que la barre horizontale du « T » soit d'épaisseur supérieure à l'épaisseur de la collerette 26, de façon à créer un espace entre le haut de l'élément anti-odeurs 18 et la paroi supérieure du couvercle 14. En outre, le couvercle 14 ayant une surface bombée, l'espace peut s'agrandir vers l'arrière du logement 16.The air can circulate easily around the anti-odor element 18. On the one hand, the housing 16 does not include a bottom, that is to say that the bottom of the element 18 is directly exposed to the waste from the tank, so as to better absorb their odors. On the other hand, provision may eventually be made for the horizontal bar of the "T" to have a thickness greater than the thickness of the flange 26, so as to create a space between the top of the anti-odor element 18 and the upper wall. of the cover 14. In addition, the cover 14 having a curved surface, the space can expand towards the rear of the housing 16.

L'insertion et l'éjection de l'élément 18 dans le bac 10 vont à présent être décrits.The insertion and ejection of the element 18 in the tray 10 will now be described.

Lorsque l'on veut introduire l'élément anti-odeurs 18 dans le logement 16, il suffit de le positionner devant l'extrémité d'insertion 20 du logement 16 et de le pousser à l'intérieur. La poussée exercée sur l'élément anti-odeurs 18 permet de passer en force les ergots 28 agencés au voisinage de l'extrémité d'insertion 20 et de contrecarrer la force de serrage que les moyens 24 de guidage exercent sur l'élément anti-odeurs 18. L'élément 18 peut ainsi prendre sa position d'utilisation dans le logement 16. Puis, lorsque l'élément 18 est usagé, il est éjecté, soit par un appui exercé par l'utilisateur sur l'élément 18, depuis l'extrémité d'insertion 20, soit par insertion d'un nouvel élément anti-odeurs 18. En effet, le nouvel élément anti-odeurs 18 pousse l'élément anti-odeurs 18 usagé qui, après avoir passé en force les ergots 28 agencés au voisinage de l'extrémité d'éjection 22 du logement 16, tombe dans la cuve 12 du bac 10.When it is desired to introduce the anti-odor element 18 into the housing 16, it is sufficient to position it in front of the insertion end 20 of the housing 16 and to push it inside. The thrust exerted on the anti-odor element 18 makes it possible to force the lugs 28 arranged in the vicinity of the insertion end 20 and to counteract the clamping force that the guiding means 24 exert on the anti-friction element. 18. The element 18 can thus take its position of use in the housing 16. Then, when the element 18 is used, it is ejected, or by a support exerted by the user on the element 18, since the insertion end 20, or by insertion of a new anti-odor element 18. In fact, the new anti-odor element 18 pushes the used anti-odor element 18 which, after having passed in force the pins 28 arranged in the vicinity of the ejection end 22 of the housing 16, falls into the tank 12 of the tank 10.

Les ergots 28 agencés au voisinage de l'extrémité d'éjection 22 du logement 16, empêchent l'utilisateur de pousser le nouvel élément anti-odeurs 18 trop loin dans le logement 16.The lugs 28 arranged in the vicinity of the ejection end 22 of the housing 16, prevent the user from pushing the new anti-odor element 18 too far into the housing 16.

Comme on peut le constater sur les figures, cette opération peut, dans le mode de réalisation décrit ci-dessus, être réalisée lorsque le couvercle 14 du bac 10 est fermé.As can be seen in the figures, this operation can, in the embodiment described above, be performed when the lid 14 of the tray 10 is closed.

Les exemples, modes de réalisation et variantes cités ci-dessous ne sont aucunement limitatifs et on été donnés à titre d'exemple.The examples, embodiments and variants given below are in no way limiting and have been given by way of example.

En particulier, l'élément anti-odeurs 18 peut prendre d'autres formes que celle décrite. De même, le logement 16 peut être disposé à d'autres endroits du bac 10 et prendre d'autres configurations.In particular, the anti-odor element 18 may take other forms than that described. Similarly, the housing 16 may be disposed at other locations of the tray 10 and take other configurations.
