Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an emptying apparatus, particularly for deformable containers.
  • the bags containing urine in fact must be sent to adapted collection centers, where they can be incinerated and/or recycled after being emptied.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the problems mentioned above, by providing an apparatus that allows to empty deformable containers, such as bags for collecting urine and other excrements, in a practical and easy manner.
  • an object of the invention is to provide an apparatus that allows to empty deformable containers, such as bags for collecting urine and other excrements, without exposing the assigned worker to risks for his safety and hygiene.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus that can be installed and used directly in hospitals, nursing homes and the like.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus that ensures high reliability in operation.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus that can be obtained easily starting from commonly commercially available elements and materials.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus that has a low cost and is safe in use.
  • an emptying apparatus particularly for deformable containers, which comprises at least one conveyance line for deformable containers, which is interposed between a loading station and an unloading station, characterized in that it comprises at least one processing station, which is arranged along said conveyance line and is partially shielded, said at least one processing station comprising at least one cutter, which rotates along a trajectory that affects the containers, conveyed by said conveyance line, in order to cut them and consequently empty them of any substances contained therein.
  • an apparatus generally designated by the reference numeral 1, comprises at least one conveyance line 2, which is interposed between a loading station 3 and an unloading station 4, for deformable containers A, for which the apparatus 1 is particularly suitable.
  • the apparatus 1 is designed for the disposal of deformable containers A such as bags (typically made of polymeric material) used for collecting the urine of patients in a hospital, in a nursing home and the like.
  • deformable containers A such as bags (typically made of polymeric material) used for collecting the urine of patients in a hospital, in a nursing home and the like.
  • the urine (and optionally other waste liquids or excrements) is therefore the substance that must be disposed.
  • the emptying apparatus 1 comprises at least one processing station 5, which is arranged along the conveyance line 2 and is partially shielded.
  • the processing station 5 comprises at least one cutter 6, which rotates along a trajectory that affects the containers A, carried by the conveyance line 2, in order to cut them, thus emptying them of any substances (for example, as shown, urine) contained therein.
  • the emptying apparatus 1 comprises a substantially box-shaped frame 7 (shown in Figures 1 and 2 ), which has an access hatch 8, in turn comprised within the loading station 3.
  • the hatch 8 leads to the conveyance line 2, which is arranged in a compartment 9 located inside the frame 7 and can be shielded completely from the outside (by closing the hatch 8); the conveyance line 2 faces, on the opposite side with respect to the hatch 8, a removal duct 10 for the processed containers A, which lies outside the frame 7 and is comprised within the unloading station 4.
  • the empty containers A can be thus stored in large quantities in a configuration that has a very small volume.
  • the emptying apparatus 1 comprises a shaft 11, which is coupled to the frame 7 and rotates about an axis that is substantially transverse to the direction of advancement of the containers A, which is defined by the conveyance line 2: the cutter 6 is then keyed on the shaft 11 in order to cut and empty (even just by gravity) the containers A during their conveyance along the line 2.
  • the cutter 6 is substantially constituted by a disk 12 that is supported coaxially and rigidly by the shaft 11 and has sharp edges for cutting the containers A; as can be deduced in particular from Figure 5 , the disk 12 preferably has a substantially multilobed shape.
  • the apparatus in order to increase the efficiency and productivity of the apparatus 1, it can comprise a plurality of disks 12, distributed in series along the shaft 11, in order to cut simultaneously one or more containers A (which optionally advance in parallel along the conveyance line 2).
  • cutting occurs while a motor 13 actuates the rotation of one or more platforms 14, which constitute the line 2 and are assigned to conveying the containers A.
  • the platforms 14 can be, for example, wound in a loop around a pair of pulleys 15 (one of which is actuated directly by the motor 13).
  • the emptying apparatus 1 comprises a presser 16 for the containers A, arranged along the conveyance line 2 proximate to the cutter 6 (or cutters 6), in order to keep the containers A forcibly pressed in position during their cutting and in order to facilitate their emptying.
  • the presser 16 is constituted by a substantially cylindrical brush 17 (preferably made of a polymeric material, for example propylene), which rotates about an axis which is parallel to the shaft 11.
  • a substantially cylindrical brush 17 preferably made of a polymeric material, for example propylene
  • a peripheral region of the brush 17 assumes a trajectory for affecting the containers A, in order to press and crush them at least partially, thus ensuring that they are kept in position and at the same time facilitating their complete emptying.
  • the emptying apparatus 1 comprises a disposal outlet, substantially provided along the base of the frame 7, in order to allow the evacuation of the substances expelled from the containers A.
  • the disposal outlet can thus be connected directly to the sewer system, in order to dispose of the urine without it being able to return, after insertion in the apparatus 1, in any way in contact with workers and operators assigned to the emptying of the containers A.
  • the apparatus 1 can be provided with a region for collecting the urine, associated with a disposal pump, in order to facilitate expulsion through the outlet described above.
  • the emptying apparatus 1 comprises a unit for washing and disinfecting the compartment 9, in order to clean and remove the residues of any substances accumulated following the emptying of the containers A.
  • washing and disinfection unit comprises a plurality of nozzles, arranged inside the compartment 9 and adapted to spray it with a washing fluid (for example water optionally with the addition of disinfectant liquid, optionally scale remover).
  • a washing fluid for example water optionally with the addition of disinfectant liquid, optionally scale remover.
  • the apparatus 1 comprises positively a dripping station, which is interposed between the processing station 5 and the unloading station 4. In this dripping station it is possible to impose a stop of preset duration to the containers A, after the cut performed in the processing station 5, for complete emptying.
  • the hatch 8 can be provided with an electric lock that prevents the accidental opening of the hatch 8 during the operation of the apparatus 1, as a further assurance of safety for operators.
  • the motor 13 thus turns the pulleys 15, which move the platforms 14, which in turn carry the containers A toward the rotating cutters 6.
  • Such cutters can thus cut the bags, while the brush 17 conveys them and keeps them forcibly pressed in position, thus ensuring the emptying and the expulsion of the urine and of the other substances contained therein, which are thus evacuated through the disposal outlet provided at the base of the frame 7.
  • the containers A, carried by the platforms 14, can thus continue past the processing station 5 and, after an optional stop in the dripping station in order to complete the emptying process, are automatically evacuated through the duct 10.
  • the unloading of the emptied containers A can cause, even automatically, the activation of the washing and disinfection unit, which sprays the compartment 9 with the chosen washing fluid; at the end of this operation, the hatch 8 is released and it is possible to start a new working cycle.
  • the apparatus 1 ensures the disposal even of large quantities of bags full of urine with a practical and easy solution that has a small size and can thus easily be installed directly in hospitals and in nursing homes, relieving them from the burden of managing the full bags.
  • the emptying method particularly for deformable containers, consists in a first step a., in feeding a loading station 3 with at least one container A of the deformable type for substances to be disposed.
  • a step b. to transfer, by means of a conveyance line 2, the container A to a processing station 5, which is at least partially shielded.
  • the apparatus according to the invention fully achieves the intended aim, because, thanks to the action of the cutter that cuts the containers inside a processing station that is at least partially shielded, it is possible to obtain the emptying of such containers in a practical and easy manner, without however exposing the operators to the risk of contamination.
  • the materials used, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
