Abstract

The cover (20) has a covering component (23) and another covering component (24), where the covering components are connected with each other in pivoted manner. The covering components are connected by a flexible connecting unit (30). The flexible connecting unit is provided between the two covering components. An independent claim is also included for a garbage container, particularly garbage large container with a garbage container body.

Description

The present invention initially relates to a lid for a refuse container according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to a refuse container according to the preamble of claim 10.

In particular, the present invention relates to a lid for a large waste container and a large waste container, which may in particular have a volume of about 1,000 liters to 1,100 liters.

Such refuse containers initially consist of a refuse container body, which serves to receive the refuse. The refuse container body, for example, in the plan view have a rectangular, cup-shaped contour. The refuse container body consists of a bottom member and a side wall, which consists in the case of a rectangular contour of four adjacent Seitenwandungssegmenten. For better handling of the refuse container four wheels can be provided on the bottom element. The open top of the refuse container carcass, through which the refuse is filled, is closed by means of a lid. For this purpose, the lid is hinged to the refuse container body. For example, the lid may be a swing lid, which is usually articulated laterally on the refuse container body. In another embodiment, the lid may be a hinged lid, which is articulated in particular by means of hinges on one of the upper edges of the refuse container body, in particular on the upper trailing edge. Such refuse containers are usually made of robust materials, such as metal or hard plastics.

This type of garbage containers is often emptied into refuse collection vehicles. For this purpose, the refuse collection vehicles have a bed with a lifting device. through the lifting device, the refuse containers are gripped, lifted and tilted into a receiving area of the refuse collection vehicle. The lid opens and the garbage in the garbage container falls into the receiving area of the refuse collection vehicle. In general, the refuse collection vehicles continue to have a pressing device, which in particular has a press plate construction. About the pressing device of the poured into the receiving area garbage is compressed and moved into the collection container of the refuse collection vehicle.

In particular, when the lid is designed as a hinged lid, it can cause problems during the emptying process. During the tilting operation, the hinged lid opens and can come into contact with components of the refuse collection vehicle and jam with them, for example. For example, when the refuse container is emptied in the tilted position, the opened hinged lid may come into contact with and jam with the refuse in the receiving area. In addition, in this situation, the further transport of the waste into the collection container of the vehicle can be hindered. In addition, the situation may arise that the opened lid comes into contact with the pressing device of the vehicle. On the one hand, this can adversely affect the handling of the pressing device. On the other hand, the situation may occur that the lid jammed with the pressing device.

A disadvantage of the previously known solutions is that the lid of the refuse container, but also the refuse container itself or the components of the refuse collection vehicle can be damaged during operation. For example, the situation may arise that the forces acting on the lid in such a situation may cause the lid to bend and / or break, damage the hinge connection between the lid and the trash container body, and the like.

From the EP 1 354 824 A1 is in another context traveled a large refuse container known in which the lid of the refuse container has two cover part elements. A first lid part element is connected in a known manner with the refuse container body. A second lid member is pivotally connected to the first lid member. This pivotal connection is realized by means of hinges. In the known solution is a so-called lid-in the lid solution. The second cover part element, which is made substantially smaller compared to the first cover part element, covers a located in the first cover part element insertion opening for refuse, which is used to facilitate filling or to prevent the entrapment of people.

The hinge connection is a rigid connecting device, via which the cover part elements are connected to one another. In addition, the hinge connection is placed from the outside on the first cover part element. If the said cover is a hinged cover, the problems described above with this known cover can not be eliminated, since the second cover part element is formed within the basic contour of the first cover part element and bounded on at least three sides by the first cover part element.

Based on the cited prior art, the present invention has the object, a lid for a refuse container and a refuse container of the type mentioned in such a way that the disadvantages and problems described above can be avoided. In particular, a lid for a refuse container and a refuse container to be provided, which can be emptied in a simple manner and without complications in a refuse collection vehicle.

This object is achieved by the lid for a refuse container with the features according to independent claim 1 and the refuse container with the features according to independent claim 10. Further features and details of the invention emerge from the subclaims, the description as well as the drawings. In this case, features and details that are described in connection with the cover according to the invention, fully in connection with the refuse container according to the invention, and vice versa, so that with respect to the disclosure reciprocally incorporated by reference and referenced.

According to the first aspect of the invention, there is provided a lid for a refuse container having a first lid member and a second lid member, the lid members being pivotally connected to each other with respect to each other. The lid is characterized in that the lid elements are connected to each other via a flexible connection means.

The lid is designed for a bin. The refuse container may in particular be a refuse container. For example, the refuse container may be a refuse container as described above, so that full reference is made and referred to in order to avoid repetition of the corresponding statements above. In particular, the refuse container is a large refuse container with a capacity of 1,100 liters.

The lid is designed in particular as a hinged lid. Such a hinged lid is arranged on the refuse container body of a refuse container, for example by means of a suitable hinge construction. In particular, the lid may be formed as a flat lid. Such a refuse container is also explained in more detail below in connection with the second aspect of the invention.

The lid has a first lid part element and a second lid part element. The invention is not limited to a specific number of cover part elements. Embodiments are also possible in which the cover has more than two cover part elements, for example three cover part elements.

The lid part elements are pivotally connected to each other with respect to each other. This also includes, in particular, the situation that a cover part element can not be pivoted against the other cover part element. For example, it may be provided that the cover consists of two cover part elements, wherein the first cover part element is hinged to the refuse container body or is. At the first cover part element then the second cover part element is pivotally mounted. In such a case, only the second cover part element can be pivoted against the first cover part element. However, in particular, such embodiments are also included, in which both cover part elements can be pivoted against each other.

The two cover part elements may for example be made of the same material or of different materials. Likewise, the two cover part elements may have the same contour, but also a different contour. For example, it can be provided that the first lid part element is articulated to a refuse container body, while the second lid part element is articulated to the first lid part element. Advantageously, it can be provided that the second cover part element, which forms the front cover area, is softer and / or with a simpler profile than the first cover part element. As a result, in particular with regard to a pressing device in a refuse collection vehicle, even less chance of attack can be offered by the second cover part element.

According to the invention, it is now provided that the cover part elements are connected to one another via a flexible connecting device. "Flexible" here means in particular that the connecting device is flexible and / or elastic and / or supple and / or allows a flexible and / or elastic and / or flexible connection of the two cover part elements, so that the cover part elements are slightly bent or bent against each other can. As a result, the lid in its entirety is easily bendable. For example, it can be provided that the two cover part elements and the flexible connection device initially present as separate components that are assembled to the lid / are. In another embodiment, it is possible that the cover part elements and the flexible connection means are integrally formed. Some advantageous, but not exclusive embodiments will be explained in more detail in the course of the description.

It is preferably provided that the flexible connecting device is provided or arranged between the two cover part elements. In this case, the flexible connecting device is designed in particular as a flexible middle part between the cover part elements.

Through the use of a flexible connecting device, the cover is bendable in its entirety, since at least one cover part element can be folded down and give way when forces occur. It is also possible that the two cover part elements, at least within limits, can be moved against each other.

The embodiment of the invention allows a flexible lid, which can yield when forces occur. In contrast, the lids known in the art of the beach were almost rigid structures. In a situation as described above, in which a refuse container, in particular with a hinged lid, emptied into a refuse collection vehicle, it is now possible to avoid the disadvantages and problems described above, in particular damage, since at least one of the two cover sub-elements during the emptying process can be pivoted. The flexibility between the two lid elements, which is realized by the flexible connecting device, allows, for example, that the lid, or the corresponding cover part element, moves away, as with the garbage emptied from the garbage collection container into the receiving area within the garbage truck or the pressing device the garbage truck comes into contact. Due to the flexible connection device can give the lid part element, so that damage to the lid or of components in the refuse collection vehicle is avoided.

Due to the flexible design of the connecting device can be additionally achieved in particular that the cover part element can later return to its original position, so that the lid can take its original shape or contour again.

In addition, it is also possible by the inventive design of the lid, that during a filling process of the equipped with such a lid refuse collection container only one of the lid part elements and not the entire lid must be opened. Thus, such a refuse container can be filled more easily, and injuries, such as pinching, of persons can be prevented.

For example, the flexible connecting device may be configured in such a way that at least one of the lid part elements can be pivoted upwards out of the lid plane and / or downwards out of the lid plane with respect to a lid plane spanned by the lid. This means that at least one of the cover part elements can be folded upwards and / or downwards.

In the following, some advantageous embodiments for the flexible connection device will be described, wherein the invention is not limited to the examples mentioned.

For example, it may be provided that the cover part elements and the flexible connecting device are integrally formed, wherein the flexible connecting device is provided, for example, formed or arranged, in particular between the cover part elements.

For example, it can be provided that the flexible connection device is designed as a flexible mold element, and that the two cover part elements and the mold element are integrally formed. The flexible mold element and the lid part elements can thus be manufactured in one piece. For example, the flexible form element may be a type of material bridge, via which the two cover part elements are connected to one another. Depending on the choice of material, the material itself may already be flexible, for example, elastic and / or flexible. For example, the material may be a suitable plastic material. The stability of the cover part elements per se can then be realized in particular by their contouring, for example with support struts, reinforcing ribs, and the like. In another embodiment, it is conceivable that the cover part elements have a first material thickness, while the flexible form element has a second material thickness, which is lower in comparison to the first material thickness.

In another embodiment, the two cover part elements and the connecting device may be formed as a two-component injection-molded component. Even in such a case, the cover part elements and the flexible connection means may advantageously consist of one piece.

In a two-component injection-molded component, a so-called 2K injection-molded component is in particular a two-component process, in which after the solidification of the first component in the mold, the cavity increases or changed and then the second component, for example with a second injection unit, is injected. The advantages of the two-component method are in particular in the connection possibilities of different materials. Thus, HartIWeich compounds, two-color combinations as well as the positive connection of two non-adhesive materials can be realized. As a result, the physical properties of materials can be optimally combined. A two-component injection-molded component is therefore in particular an injection-molded part which is produced in a two-component process. For example, the cover part elements can be produced in a first injection process, at which may be hard components (some HDPE). In a second injection process, the flexible connection device is then produced, for example in the form of a soft component. This soft component can in particular perform a hinge function and / or Nachgebefunktion, such as upon contact of the lid with the press shop in a refuse collection vehicle. The production of such a two-component injection-molded component, for example, in a turning tool, or in two separate tools happen.

In another embodiment, it can be provided that the cover part elements and the flexible connection device initially present as separate components, which are then joined together.

For example, the flexible connection device may comprise an elastomer component or be formed as an elastomer component, wherein the two cover part elements are connected via connecting elements with the elastomer component. In such a case, the flexible connecting device has in particular a separate elastomer component and connecting elements. For example, an elastomeric band, such as a rubber band, or elastomeric profile, such as a rubber profile, form a flexible connection between the, advantageously rigid, lid portion members. This additionally creates a watertight connection, in particular when the elastomer component overlaps the mutually facing edges of the two cover part elements. The elastomeric component can be connected to the lid part elements via suitable connecting elements, for example screws, rivet connections, bolts, an adhesive connection or the like.

It is preferably provided that the first cover element and the second cover element have the same lid width and / or the same lid length. In this case, the flexible connecting device preferably extends over the entire lid width and / or the entire lid length.

For example, it can be provided that the two cover part elements with respect to each other have a different size. In another embodiment, the two cover part elements may have the same size with respect to each other. In a further embodiment, it can therefore be provided that the first cover element in terms of area makes up 50% to 80% of the total area of the cover, and that the second cover element occupies 50% to 20% of the total area of the cover.

In a further embodiment it can be provided that a stop device is provided for limiting the pivotable movement of at least one of the cover part elements. The invention is not limited to specific embodiments of such stopper devices.

For example, it may be provided that the stopper device is formed in such a way that at least one of the lid part elements with respect to a cover plane spanned by the lid by up to plus 60 degrees, preferably plus 45 degrees, upwards out of the lid plane and / or to minus Degree 60, preferably minus 45 degrees, can be pivoted down from the top plane.

When a refuse container is equipped with a lid according to the invention, for example with stop means, the two lid part elements and the flexible connecting means completely cover the open top of the refuse container when the lid is closed. The lid may consist of a first lid part element, which is hinged to the garbage container body, so that the lid, which may be a hinged lid, can be opened and closed in its entirety. The second cover part element is articulated via the flexible connecting device pivotally mounted on the first cover part element. In a first insertion position, in which, for example, only small refuse units are to be thrown into the refuse container, provision may be made, for example, for only the second cover subelement to be unfolded, if appropriate until the stopper device comes into action, for example until it abuts against the stopper device. This may for example be the case at an opening angle of about 45 degrees. If larger garbage units are to be thrown into the refuse container, the entire lid, that is to say the first lid part element, is also opened, while optionally the stop device for the second lid part element remains activated.

The same is true when emptying the refuse container. Opens the refuse container lid during a discharge operation, such as a discharge operation in the manner described above, the entire lid opens, in which the first lid part element, which is hinged to the refuse container body, is pivoted away from the latter. Due to the additional pivotability of the second cover part element, which is independent of the first cover part element, it is achieved that the second cover element can retreat in contact with the dumped waste or other components in the refuse collection vehicle so that damage can be avoided.

According to a second aspect, a refuse container, in particular a refuse container, is provided with a refuse container body and a lid for closing the container body, the lid being hinged to the refuse container body. The refuse container is characterized in that the lid is formed in a manner as described above. On the corresponding explanations to the cover is therefore incorporated by reference and referenced. For example, the refuse container may be a refuse container as described above, so that full reference is made and referred to in order to avoid repetition of the corresponding statements above. In particular, the refuse container is a large refuse container with a capacity of 1,100 liters.

According to the present invention, in particular, a lid for a refuse container and a refuse container are provided. The refuse container has a refuse container body and a lid for closing the refuse container body, wherein the lid is hinged to the refuse container body. The lid has a first cover part element and a second cover part element, wherein the cover part elements are pivotally connected to each other in relation to each other. The lid is designed in particular as a hinged lid. In order to create a lid for a refuse container and a refuse container that can be emptied in a simple manner and without complications, especially damage, in a refuse collection vehicle, it is provided that the cover part elements are interconnected via a flexible connection means.

a discharge state of the refuse container according to the invention FIG. 4 in a garbage truck.

In FIG. 1 a known from the prior art refuse container 10 is shown, which is a large refuse container with a capacity of 1,100 liters.

The refuse container 10 initially consists of a Müflbehälterkorpus 11, which serves to receive waste. The refuse container body 11 has a rectangular, cup-shaped contour in the plan. The refuse container body 11 consists of a bottom element 12 and a side wall 13. For better handling of the Waste container 10 four wheels 14 are provided on the bottom element 12. The open top of the refuse container body 11, through which the refuse is filled, is closed by means of a lid 20. For this purpose, the cover 20, which is a hinged lid, is hinged to the garbage container body 11 via a hinge device 21. To fill the refuse container body 11, the lid 20 is opened, the Aufklapprichtung is illustrated by arrow 22.

This type of refuse containers 10 is often emptied in refuse collection vehicles, which in connection with the Figures 2 and 3 is clarified. In the Figures 2 and 3 the rear area of a refuse collection vehicle 40 designed as a rear loader is shown. For this purpose, the refuse collection vehicle 40 has a bed 41 with lifting device, wherein the bed 41 is shown in the figures only very schematic. By means of the lifting device, the refuse container 10 is gripped, lifted and tilted into a receiving area 42 of the refuse collection vehicle 40. In this case, the lid 20 of the refuse container 10 opens and the waste 15 located in the refuse container 10 falls into the receiving area 42 of the refuse collection vehicle 40.

The refuse collection vehicle 40 further has a pressing device 43 which has a construction of press plates 44, 45. The pressing plates 44, 45 are pivotally connected to each other and can be moved in different directions, as with reference to in the Figures 2 and 3 illustrated arrows is illustrated.

About the pressing device 43 of the poured into the receiving area 42 garbage 15 is compressed and moved into the collection container 46 of the refuse collection vehicle 40.

In particular, when the lid 20 of the refuse container 10 is designed as a hinged lid, problems may arise during the emptying process. During the tilting operation, the lid 20 opens and may come into contact with components of the refuse collection vehicle 40 and jam with them, for example. When the refuse container 10 is emptied in the tilted position, can the opened lid 20, for example, come into contact with the refuse 15 located in the receiving area 42 and become wedged therewith. In addition, in this situation, the further transport of the refuse 15 into the collecting container 46 of the refuse collection vehicle 40 can be hindered. In addition, the situation may arise that the opened lid 20 comes into contact with the pressing device 43 of the refuse collection vehicle 40. On the one hand, this can adversely affect the handling of the pressing device 43. On the other hand, the situation may occur that the lid 20 jammed with the pressing device 43.

A disadvantage of the previously known solutions is that the lid 20 of the refuse container 10, but also the refuse container 10 itself or the components of the refuse collection vehicle 40, such as the pressing device 43, may be damaged during operation. For example, the situation may arise that the forces acting on the lid 20 of the refuse container 10 in such a situation may cause the lid 20 to bend and / or break, damage the hinge means 21 between the lid 20 and the refuse container body 11, and the like ,

To avoid these disadvantages, the lid 20 is designed according to the invention for the refuse container 10 in a special way, as described below with reference to FIGS. 4 to 10 is clarified.

In FIG. 4 a first embodiment of a refuse container 10 according to the invention is shown. As for the basic configuration of the refuse container 10, the refuse container 10 is like the one in FIG FIG. 1 designed from the prior art refuse container 10, so that reference is made to avoid repetition in this regard to the corresponding statements above.

However, in the refuse container 10 according to the invention, the lid 20 is designed differently. The cover 20 has a first cover part element 23, which is articulated on the hinging device 21 on the refuse container body 11. In addition, a second cover part element 24 is still provided. The two cover part elements 23, 24 are pivotally connected with respect to each other. In this case, it is provided that the second cover part element 24 can be pivoted upwards out of the cover plane 25 with respect to a cover plane 25 spanned by the cover 20. According to the invention, it is provided that the two cover part elements 23, 24 are connected to one another via a flexible connecting device 30.

In the Figures 5 and 6 An embodiment of such a flexible connecting device 30 is described in more detail. As regards the design of the refuse container 10, the refuse container 10 is generally like the one in FIG FIG. 4 illustrated refuse container 10 configured so that reference is made to avoid repetition in this regard to the corresponding statements above. In FIG. 5 the refuse container 10 is shown in its entirety while in FIG. 6 only the lid 20 is shown.

As in particular from FIG. 6 can be removed, the cover 20 consists of the three components first cover member 23, second cover member 24 and flexible connection means 30, the individual components initially present as separate components, which are then joined together.

In the in the Figures 5 and 6 illustrated embodiment, the flexible connection means 30, an elastomeric component 31, wherein the two cover part elements 23, 24 are connected via connecting elements 32, 33 with the elastomeric member 31. For example, the elastomeric component 31 may be formed as an elastomeric band, such as a rubber band, or as an elastomeric profile, such as a rubber profile, via which a flexible connection between the, advantageously rigid, cover part elements 23, 24 is formed. This additionally creates a watertight connection, in particular when the elastomer component 31 overlaps the mutually facing edges 26, 27 of the two cover part elements 23, 24. The elastomeric component 31 can be connected via suitable connecting elements, such as screws, rivet joints, bolts, a Adhesive connection or the like, with the cover sub-elements 23, 24 may be connected.

The following is based on the FIGS. 7 to 9 a filling process of a like in FIG. 4 described garbage container 10 according to the invention described, while in FIG. 10 an emptying state of the refuse container 10 according to the invention FIG. 4 is shown in a refuse collection vehicle 40. As far as the design of the refuse container 10 is concerned, in order to avoid repetitions in this respect, reference is made to the corresponding explanations FIG. 4 referred to above and incorporated by reference.

When the refuse container 10 is equipped with a lid 20 according to the invention, cover the two lid part elements 23, 24 and the flexible connection means 30, the open top of the refuse container 10 completely when the lid 20 is closed. This condition is in FIG. 7 shown.

The lid 20 consists of the first lid member 23, which is articulated via the hinge means 21 to the garbage container body 11, so that the lid 20, which is a hinged lid, can be opened and closed in its entirety. The second cover part element 24 is pivotably articulated on the first cover part element 23 via the flexible connecting device 30.

In a first throw-in position, the in FIG. 8 is shown, and in the example, only small waste units are to be thrown into the refuse container 10, for example, be provided that only the second cover part element 24 is opened. For example, a stop device 34 (not shown) may be arranged or formed on / in the cover 20 in order to limit the pivoting action of the second cover part element 24. The stopper device 34 may be formed or provided, for example, on or in or in the vicinity of the flexible connection device 30. If such a stopper device 34 is present, the second cover part element 24 can only so far are opened until the stopper 34 comes into action, for example, until the second lid member 24 abuts against the stopper 34. This may be the case, for example, at an opening angle of about 45 degrees, with respect to the top plane 25 spanned by the cover 20.

Should larger garbage units be thrown into the refuse container 10, which is in FIG. 9 is shown, the entire cover 20, that is, the first lid part element 23 is opened, while the stopper means 34 for the second lid member 24 remains activated.

The same is true when emptying the refuse container 10, which in connection with FIG. 10 is shown. This in FIG. 10 represented Müllsammelfahrzeug 40 corresponds to its structure in the Figures 2 and 3 illustrated refuse collection vehicle 40, so that in order to avoid repetition of the construction of the refuse collection vehicle 40 first to the comments on the Figures 2 and 3 is fully incorporated by reference and referenced.

If the milk container lid 20 opens during an emptying process, for example an emptying process in the manner described above, the entire ceiling 20 opens, in which the first lid part element 23, which is articulated on the waste container body 11, is swung away from it. Due to the additional pivotability of the second cover part element 24, which is independent of the first cover part element 23, it is achieved that the second cover element 24 can yield in contact with the dumped waste 15 or other components 43, 44, 45 in the refuse collection vehicle 40, so that damage is avoided can.

In particular, the flexible connection device 30 is designed in such a way that at least one of the cover part elements - here the second cover part element 24 - can be pivoted upwards out of the cover plane 25 with respect to the cover plane 25 spanned by the cover 20 FIG. 10 by a Dashed representation is clarified and / or that the second cover member 24 can be pivoted downwardly from the top plane 25 out. This means that the lid member 24 can be folded up and / or down.
