Abstract

The container (10') has an introducing opening for introducing wastes, and a discharging opening for emptying the container. An additional orifice (18) is defined by an aperture protruding towards an interior of the container, and is different from the introducing opening and the discharging opening. A removable lid removably closes the additional orifice. A closure member i.e. flexible membrane, takes a rest configuration in which the closure member closes the additional orifice and a washing configuration in which the closure member opens the additional orifice. An independent claim is also included for a waste collecting container washing lorry comprising a jib crane.

Description

La présente invention concerne un conteneur d'apport volontaire de déchets et un camion permettant de laver un tel conteneur.The present invention relates to a voluntary waste container and a truck for washing such a container.

Les conteneurs d'apport volontaire de déchets, notamment les conteneurs de collecte de verre, sont des conteneurs de volume important destinés à être placés sur la voie publique afin de collecter les déchets d'un grand nombre de personnes. Chacun de ces conteneurs est muni d'ouvertures d'introduction des déchets et d'une ouverture de vidage du conteneur placée dans le fond du conteneur, par lequel ce dernier repose sur le sol. Pour des raisons de sécurité publique, cette ouverture est fermée par au moins une porte qui est conçue pour ne pouvoir être ouverte que par des personnes autorisées à vider ces conteneurs. Les ouvertures d'introduction des déchets sont généralement positionnées sur la partie supérieure et sont fermées par un moyen qui permet l'introduction facile des déchets tout en évitant de laisser de grandes ouvertures béantes dans les parois du conteneur. Pour vider le conteneur, le plus souvent, une grue munie de crochets soulève le conteneur au-dessus d'un camion de collecte et ouvre les portes de l'ouverture de vidage placée dans le fond du conteneur, pour laisser tomber les déchets dans le camion de collecte.Voluntary waste containers, especially glass collection containers, are large containers intended to be placed on public roads in order to collect the waste of a large number of people. Each of these containers is provided with waste introduction openings and a discharge opening of the container placed in the bottom of the container, by which the latter rests on the ground. For reasons of public safety, this opening is closed by at least one door which is designed to be open only by persons authorized to empty these containers. The waste introduction openings are generally positioned on the upper part and are closed by a means which allows easy introduction of the waste while avoiding leaving large gaping openings in the walls of the container. To empty the container, usually a crane with hooks lifts the container above a collection truck and opens the doors of the emptying opening placed in the bottom of the container, to drop the waste into the container. collection truck.

Ces conteneurs sont aussi connus sous le nom de colonnes aériennes.These containers are also known as air columns.

Souvent, dans le cas de la collecte du verre notamment, il reste un peu de liquide dans les récipients déposés dans un conteneur et un « jus » issu de l'accumulation de liquides se forme dans le fond du conteneur. Il faut donc régulièrement laver l'intérieur des conteneurs afin d'éviter des problèmes d'hygiène et d'odeurs. Ce problème peut également se poser pour d'autres types de collecte, telle que la collecte des ordures ménagères ou lorsque l'ouverture d'introduction des déchets permet l'entrée d'eau de pluie par exemple.Often, in the case of the collection of glass in particular, there is a little liquid in the containers deposited in a container and a "juice" from the accumulation of liquids is formed in the bottom of the container. It is therefore necessary to regularly wash the inside of the containers in order to avoid problems of hygiene and odors. This problem may also arise for other types of collection, such as garbage collection or when the introduction of waste introduction allows the entry of rainwater for example.

On connait, de la demande de brevet européen EP 1 302 414 , un camion mixte de collecte et de lavage de conteneurs de collecte de verre. Le camion comprend une grue qui sert au positionnement du conteneur, un compartiment de collecte du verre et une chambre de lavage. Le conteneur est levé, vidé au-dessus du compartiment de collecte, puis positionné au-dessus de la chambre de lavage du camion, dans laquelle il est descendu verticalement, portes de vidage ouvertes. Du fait de la descente du conteneur, deux têtes de projection d'eau présentes dans la chambre de lavage pénètrent à l'intérieur du conteneur via les portes de vidage ouvertes. Le conteneur est déposé sur un support central configuré de telle sorte que les portes de vidage du conteneur sont maintenues ouvertes, d'une part pour que les têtes de projection d'eau puissent pénétrer dans le conteneur et d'autre part pour permettre l'évacuation des eaux de lavage. Lorsque le conteneur est en position dans la chambre de lavage, la grue se retire et la chambre de lavage est fermée.We know about the European patent application EP 1 302 414 , a mixed truck collecting and washing glass collection containers. The truck includes a crane for positioning the container, a glass collection compartment and a washing chamber. The container is lifted, emptied above the collection compartment, then positioned above the truck wash chamber, in which it is lowered vertically, empty doors open. Due to the descent of the container, two water spray heads present in the washing chamber penetrate inside the container via the empty doors open. The container is deposited on a central support configured so that the emptying doors of the container are kept open on the one hand so that the water spray heads can enter the container and on the other hand to allow the evacuation of washing water. When the container is in position in the washing chamber, the crane withdraws and the washing chamber is closed.

On constate que le coût d'un tel camion avec chambre de lavage fermée est élevé.It can be seen that the cost of such a truck with closed washing chamber is high.

L'invention a pour but notamment de proposer un conteneur d'apport volontaire de déchets dont l'intérieur peut être lavé lorsque les portes de vidage du conteneur sont fermées.The invention aims in particular to provide a voluntary waste container whose interior can be washed when the emptying doors of the container are closed.

A cet effet, la présente invention concerne un conteneur d'apport volontaire de déchets comportant au moins une ouverture d'introduction des déchets et au moins une ouverture de vidage du conteneur. Ce conteneur est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte au moins un orifice additionnel, différent de l'ouverture d'introduction des déchets et de l'ouverture de vidage du conteneur.To this end, the present invention relates to a voluntary waste container with at least one waste introduction opening and at least one emptying opening of the container. This container is characterized in that it comprises at least one additional orifice, different from the opening for introducing the waste and the emptying opening of the container.

Laver le conteneur portes de vidage fermées permet soit de réaliser l'opération de lavage sans déplacer le conteneur, soit de réaliser cette opération de lavage de manière simple sur un camion sans chambre de lavage fermée. Le camion est alors moins volumineux que les camions connus, entrainant des coûts et un encombrement de la voie publique moins importants. Le lavage du conteneur est dans tous les cas simplifié.Washing the container closed empty doors allows either to carry out the washing operation without moving the container, or to perform this washing operation in a simple way on a truck without closed washing chamber. The truck is then less bulky than known trucks, causing costs and congestion of the public road less important. The washing of the container is in any case simplified.

Un autre avantage du conteneur selon l'invention est que l'agent responsable du lavage n'est plus exposé aux risques de projections de déchets provenant du conteneur puisque les portes sont fermées.Another advantage of the container according to the invention is that the agent responsible for washing is no longer exposed to the risk of splashing waste from the container since the doors are closed.

Le terme porte indique tout organe fermant l'ouverture de vidage du conteneur.The term door indicates any member closing the emptying opening of the container.

Avantageusement, l'orifice additionnel est délimité par une embouchure saillant vers l'intérieur du conteneur. Si le conteneur est obtenu par moulage, il est facile de concevoir un moule muni d'un insert permettant de réaliser un orifice additionnel ayant cette forme dans la paroi du conteneur. Cette forme particulière de l'orifice permet d'éviter des projections non désirées de liquides ou de « jus » à l'extérieur du conteneur.Advantageously, the additional orifice is delimited by a mouth projecting towards the inside of the container. If the container is obtained by molding, it is easy to design a mold with an insert for making an additional orifice having this shape in the wall of the container. This particular shape of the orifice makes it possible to avoid unwanted projections of liquids or "juice" on the outside of the container.

L'orifice additionnel peut être laissé ouvert, mais le conteneur peut également comporter un bouchon amovible d'obturation de l'orifice additionnel. Ce dispositif est simple et peu coûteux et permet d'éviter des projections de liquides et/ou de déchets à l'extérieur du conteneur.The additional orifice may be left open, but the container may also include a removable plug for closing the additional orifice. This device is simple and inexpensive and prevents splashes of liquids and / or waste outside the container.

Le conteneur peut également comporter un obturateur de l'orifice additionnel, cet obturateur pouvant prendre une configuration de repos dans laquelle il ferme l'orifice additionnel et une configuration de lavage dans laquelle il ouvre l'orifice additionnel. L'avantage d'un tel obturateur est que l'agent responsable du lavage n'a pas besoin de l'ôter avant de commencer le lavage du conteneur ni de le remettre à la fin du lavage. Il y a donc moins d'opérations de manutention et moins de risque de perdre l'obturateur, en comparaison à un bouchon amovible. De plus, l'orifice additionnel étant fermé en dehors des opérations de lavage du conteneur, le conteneur est plus hygiénique en ce qu'il empêche toute projection de liquides et/ou de déchets à l'extérieur du conteneur.The container may also include a shutter of the additional orifice, this shutter can take a rest configuration in which it closes the additional orifice and a washing configuration in which it opens the additional orifice. The advantage of such a shutter is that the agent responsible for washing does not need to remove it before starting the washing of the container or put it back at the end of washing. There is therefore less handling operations and less risk of losing the shutter, compared to a removable cap. Moreover, the additional orifice being closed outside container washing operations, the container is more hygienic in that it prevents any projection of liquids and / or waste outside the container.

L'obturateur peut être une membrane souple formée d'un seul tenant, laquelle constitue un obturateur assez simple à mettre en place et peu coûteux.The shutter can be a flexible membrane formed integrally, which is a shutter fairly simple to implement and inexpensive.

Un autre obturateur simple et peu coûteux est une brosse dont les poils déformables ferment l'orifice additionnel lorsqu'ils sont au repos mais s'écartent si on introduit un objet dans cet orifice.Another simple and inexpensive shutter is a brush whose deformable bristles close the additional orifice when they are at rest but deviate if an object is inserted into this orifice.

L'obturateur peut également être constitué d'une trappe rigide munie d'un pivot et d'un ressort de rappel. Cet obturateur est plus robuste.The shutter may also consist of a rigid door provided with a pivot and a return spring. This shutter is more robust.

L'invention a également pour objet un camion de lavage d'un conteneur de déchets muni d'au moins un orifice additionnel différent de l'ouverture d'introduction des déchets et de l'ouverture de vidage du conteneur. Le camion comprend une grue et une plateforme munie d'un récupérateur des eaux de lavage. Il est caractérisé en ce que la plateforme comprend une zone d'accueil du conteneur et une zone de lavage du conteneur, au moins un guide et une buse de lavage, le guide est configuré pour guider le conteneur pendant son déplacement de la zone d'accueil à la zone de lavage tout en l'orientant de manière à assurer l'insertion de la buse de lavage dans l'orifice du conteneur du seul fait du déplacement du conteneur.The invention also relates to a truck for washing a waste container provided with at least one additional orifice different from the opening for introducing the waste and the emptying opening of the container. The truck includes a crane and a platform equipped with a washing water recuperator. It is characterized in that the platform comprises a container receiving zone and a container washing zone, at least one guide and a washing nozzle, the guide is configured to guide the container during its displacement from the zone of the container. receiving the washing zone while orienting it so as to ensure the insertion of the washing nozzle into the orifice of the container simply because of the displacement of the container.

Le guide porté par la plateforme permet de positionner grossièrement le conteneur sur la zone d'accueil, puis de l'amener précisément sur la zone de lavage (avec introduction de la buse de lavage dans le conteneur). Ces mouvements peuvent être effectués grâce à la grue ou par des moyens distincts.The guide carried by the platform allows to roughly position the container on the reception area, then to bring it precisely on the washing area (with introduction of the washing nozzle in the container). These movements can be made by the crane or by separate means.

Le camion peut en outre comporter au moins un tuyau dimensionné pour pouvoir pénétrer dans l'orifice additionnel du conteneur et une pompe d'aspiration, le tuyau et la pompe étant configurés pour permettre l'évacuation de l'eau de lavage hors du conteneur pendant que les portes de vidage du conteneur sont fermées.The truck may further include at least one pipe dimensioned to enter the additional port of the container and a suction pump, the pipe and the pump being configured to allow the wash water to be discharged out of the container for a period of time. the emptying doors of the container are closed.

L'invention a également pour objet la combinaison d'un conteneur selon l'invention et d'un camion selon l'invention.The invention also relates to the combination of a container according to the invention and a truck according to the invention.

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

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 perspective view of a voluntary waste container according to a first embodiment of the invention, the dotted lines symbolizing hidden lines,
  • the figure 2a is a partial sectional view according to IIa-IIa of the figure 1 ,

On a représenté, sur la figure 1, un conteneur 10 qui comporte une ouverture 12 d'introduction des déchets, deux portes 14 obturant une ouverture 16 de vidage du conteneur 10 et un orifice additionnel 18, différent de l'ouverture 12 d'introduction des déchets et de l'ouverture 16 de vidage du conteneur 10. Dans la suite, on désignera l'orifice additionnel 18 par le simple terme « orifice ».On the figure 1 a container 10 which has an opening 12 for introducing the waste, two doors 14 closing an opening 16 for emptying the container 10 and an additional orifice 18, different from the opening 12 for introducing the waste and the opening 16 emptying the container 10. In the following, we will designate the additional orifice 18 by the simple term "orifice".

La figure 2a représente, en coupe, la paroi 20 du conteneur 10 comportant l'orifice 18 délimité par une embouchure saillant vers l'intérieur du conteneur 10. Dans la variante de la figure 2b, un orifice 18' est aussi délimité par une embouchure saillant vers l'intérieur du conteneur 10, mais l'orifice 18' est obturé par un bouchon 22 amovible.The figure 2a represents, in section, the wall 20 of the container 10 having the orifice 18 delimited by a mouth projecting towards the inside of the container 10. In the variant of FIG. figure 2b , an orifice 18 'is also defined by a mouth projecting towards the interior of the container 10, but the orifice 18' is closed off by a removable plug 22.

Le moyen de fermeture de l'orifice 18' ou 18" ne se limite pas au bouchon 22 amovible, il peut être constitué de tout obturateur pouvant prendre une configuration de repos dans laquelle il ferme l'orifice et une configuration de lavage dans laquelle il ouvre l'orifice.The closing means of the orifice 18 'or 18 "is not limited to the removable plug 22, it may consist of any shutter that can take a rest configuration in which it closes the orifice and a washing configuration in which it open the orifice.

Ainsi, dans la variante de la figure 2c, un orifice 18" est aussi délimité par une embouchure saillant vers l'intérieur du conteneur 10, mais l'orifice 18" est fermé par un obturateur 28 qui, dans cette variante, est une membrane souple formée d'un seul tenant.So, in the variant of the Figure 2c , an orifice 18 "is also defined by a mouth projecting towards the inside of the container 10, but the orifice 18" is closed by a shutter 28 which, in this variant, is a flexible membrane formed integrally.

Comme on le voit sur la figure 3a, l'orifice 18 est un orifice d'insertion d'une buse 24 de lavage. Une autre utilisation de l'orifice 18 est illustrée par la figure 3b, sur laquelle on voit que l'orifice est un orifice d'insertion d'un tuyau 26 d'évacuation des eaux de lavage.As we see on the figure 3a , the orifice 18 is an insertion orifice of a washing nozzle 24. Another use of the orifice 18 is illustrated by the figure 3b , on which it is seen that the orifice is an insertion orifice of a pipe 26 for discharging the washing water.

Des éléments 28, portés par le conteneur, sont des obturateurs 28 tels qu'une membrane 28 souple faite d'un seul tenant. Les obturateurs 28 sont représentés en configuration de lavage. Les flèches représentent le sens de circulation de l'eau.Elements 28, carried by the container, are shutters 28 such as a flexible membrane 28 made in one piece. The shutters 28 are shown in the washing configuration. The arrows represent the flow direction of the water.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, représenté à la figure 4, le conteneur 10' comporte deux orifices 18, utilisés l'un pour une buse 24 de lavage, l'autre pour un tuyau 26 d'évacuation.In another embodiment, shown in FIG. figure 4 , the container 10 'has two orifices 18, used one for a washing nozzle 24, the other for a discharge pipe 26.

Afin de mieux comprendre les avantages de l'invention, nous allons décrire les étapes de lavage du conteneur 10'.In order to better understand the advantages of the invention, we will describe the washing steps of the container 10 '.

Lorsque le conteneur 10' est vide et a besoin d'être lavé, l'agent responsable du lavage introduit, dans un orifice 18, la buse 24 de lavage. Dans l'autre orifice 18, il introduit le tuyau 26 d'évacuation des eaux de lavage. L'introduction de la buse 24 ou du tuyau 26 fait passer chaque obturateur 28 de sa configuration de repos à sa configuration de lavage. Une fois la buse 24 et le tuyau 26 mis en place, il démarre le lavage du conteneur 10'. La buse 24, avantageusement munie d'une tête rotative, asperge d'eau sous pression l'intérieur du conteneur 10'. Du fait de la pression de l'eau, la buse 24 doit être maintenue en position, soit par l'agent, soit par des moyens conventionnels connus. Les eaux de lavage sont évacuées à l'aide du tuyau 26, ce qui permet d'exposer en permanence toutes les parois 20 du conteneur 10' et particulièrement les portes 14 qui sont généralement les plus sales. Lorsque le lavage est terminé, l'agent responsable du lavage sort la buse 24 et le tuyau 26 des orifices 18 et les obturateurs 28 reprennent leur configuration de repos.When the container 10 'is empty and needs to be washed, the washing agent introduces, into an orifice 18, the washing nozzle 24. In the other orifice 18, it introduces the pipe 26 for discharging the washing water. The introduction of the nozzle 24 or the pipe 26 passes each shutter 28 from its rest configuration to its washing configuration. Once the nozzle 24 and the pipe 26 put in place, it starts washing the container 10 '. The nozzle 24, advantageously provided with a rotating head, sprinkles water under pressure inside the container 10 '. Due to the pressure of the water, the nozzle 24 must be held in position, either by the agent or by known conventional means. Washing water is discharged using the pipe 26, which allows to permanently expose all the walls 20 of the container 10 'and particularly the doors 14 which are generally the dirtiest. When the washing is finished, the agent responsible for washing out the nozzle 24 and the pipe 26 of the orifices 18 and the shutters 28 resume their rest configuration.

Lorsque les orifices 18 sont munis de bouchons 22 amovibles, l'agent responsable du lavage doit d'abord ôter les bouchons 22 amovibles avant d'introduire la buse 24 et le tuyau 26 et remettre ces bouchons 22 après avoir sorti la buse 24 et le tuyau 26 des orifices 18.When the orifices 18 are provided with removable plugs 22, the washing agent must first remove the removable plugs 22 before introducing the nozzle 24 and the pipe 26 and replace these plugs 22 after having taken out the nozzle 24 and the nozzle 22. pipe 26 of the orifices 18.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 1 dans lequel le conteneur 10 est muni d'un orifice 18 unique, la buse 24 de lavage et le tuyau 26 d'évacuation des eaux de lavage sont tous les deux introduits par l'orifice 18 unique. Une variante est d'utiliser l'ouverture 12 d'introduction des déchets pour insérer le tuyau 26 dans le conteneur 10.In the embodiment of the figure 1 wherein the container 10 is provided with a single orifice 18, the washing nozzle 24 and the washing water discharge pipe 26 are both introduced through the single orifice 18. An alternative is to use the waste introduction opening 12 to insert the pipe 26 into the container 10.

La figure 5 représente un camion 40 de lavage d'un conteneur 10' d'apport volontaire de déchets muni de deux orifices 18, comprenant une grue 42 et une plateforme 44 munie d'un récupérateur 46 des eaux de lavage. La plateforme 44 comprend une zone d'accueil 50 du conteneur et une zone de lavage 52 du conteneur, un guide 48 et une buse 24 de lavage. Le guide 48 est configuré pour guider le conteneur 10' pendant son déplacement de la zone d'accueil 50 à la zone de lavage 52 tout en l'orientant de manière à assurer l'insertion de la buse 24 de lavage dans l'orifice 18 du conteneur 10' du seul fait de déplacement du conteneur 10'. La zone d'accueil 50 et la zone de lavage 52 de la plateforme 44 peuvent se recouvrir partiellement.The figure 5 represents a truck 40 for washing a container 10 'of voluntary waste feed provided with two orifices 18, comprising a crane 42 and a platform 44 provided with a recuperator 46 washing water. The platform 44 comprises a receiving zone 50 of the container and a washing zone 52 of the container, a guide 48 and a washing nozzle 24. The guide 48 is configured to guide the container 10 'during its movement from the reception area 50 to the washing zone 52 while orienting it to ensure the insertion of the washing nozzle 24 into the orifice 18 of the container 10 'simply by moving the container 10'. The reception zone 50 and the washing zone 52 of the platform 44 may partially overlap.

Lorsqu'un conteneur 10' vide a besoin d'être lavé, l'agent responsable du lavage place le camion 40 près du conteneur 10'. La grue 42 soulève le conteneur 10' et vient le déposer sur la plateforme 44 dans la zone d'accueil 50. L'orifice 18 du conteneur 10' fait face à la buse 24. Le guide 48 est au contact du conteneur 10'. La grue 42 déplace ensuite le conteneur 10' le long du guide 48, ce qui a pour effet d'orienter convenablement le conteneur pour que l'orifice 18 se trouve exactement dans l'axe de la buse. En fin de mouvement, la buse 24 s'introduit dans l'orifice 18. Le conteneur 10' est alors dans la zone de lavage 52 de la plateforme 44. L'agent introduit ensuite le tuyau 26 d'évacuation des eaux de lavage et l'opération de lavage en elle-même peut débuter. Quand le lavage est terminé, le tuyau 26 est sorti du conteneur 10', la grue 42 déplace le conteneur de la zone de lavage 52 vers la zone d'accueil 50 le long du guide 48. Lorsque la buse 24 est sortie du conteneur 10', la grue soulève le conteneur 10' et le pose sur son emplacement sur la voie publique.When an empty container 10 'needs to be washed, the washing agent places the truck 40 near the container 10'. The crane 42 lifts the container 10 'and is deposited on the platform 44 in the reception area 50. The orifice 18 of the container 10' faces the nozzle 24. The guide 48 is in contact with the container 10 '. The crane 42 then moves the container 10 'along the guide 48, which has the effect of properly orienting the container so that the orifice 18 is exactly in the axis of the nozzle. In end of movement, the nozzle 24 is introduced into the orifice 18. The container 10 'is then in the washing zone 52 of the platform 44. The agent then introduces the pipe 26 for discharging the washing water and the operation washing itself can begin. When the washing is finished, the pipe 26 is taken out of the container 10 ', the crane 42 moves the container from the washing zone 52 to the reception zone 50 along the guide 48. When the nozzle 24 has left the container 10 ', the crane lifts the container 10' and places it on its location on the public road.

L'opération de lavage étant réalisée sur le camion, l'eau qui pourrait s'échapper par les joints des portes 14 est récupérée sur la plateforme du camion.The washing operation being performed on the truck, the water that could escape through the seals of the doors 14 is recovered on the platform of the truck.
