Definitions

  • the invention relates to a domestic waste container, particularly to a garbage container for domestic waste to be positioned on a permanent location, on ground level or partially or entirely in the ground.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a waste station or arrangement including such a garbage container.
  • the invention further relates to a built-in unit for such a garbage container.
  • the garbage containers usually comprise an underground accommodation space, in which a casing-shaped garbage space is accommodated. On ground level the casing is then covered by a plate, on which a column-shaped superstructure with supply opening is placed.
  • the plate or column can be provided with lifting eyes or the like for lifting the casing from and lowering it into the accommodation space in view of emptying the casing over a collection truck.
  • a closing flap in the bottom.
  • a city can have up to a few thousand of such underground garbage containers.
  • the logistic process of emptying said garbage containers by means of collection trucks is complicated and requires the collection trucks to move around a lot. It may also happen that a garbage container is full sooner than the moment of the scheduled emptying process. This particularly occurs when the garbage contains synthetic bottles. It is also disadvantageous if, when emptying a garbage container, it turns out that it is only partially filled and the emptying process could have been postponed until a next time.
  • a compacting device operating at the top side of the casing comprising a press plate that swings about a shaft, which plate is activated when detecting introduced garbage, in order to push it in the direction of the casing.
  • NL1034075 it is suggested to provide a pressure housing at the upper end of the casing, in which housing a roller and a helical press are disposed for pressing on the garbage that is thrown in.
  • Another arrangement is known from DE 203 05 392 , in which an underground garbage container having a column-shaped superstructure is shown, in which superstructure an inlet opening is provided and a press plate operated by a cylinder, which plate is activated when throwing in garbage in order to propel the garbage to the garbage space and is kept in its ultimate position at the lower end of the column until the next time something is thrown in.
  • an underground garbage container having a superstructure and a press plate disposed in the top side of the garbage space, for in vertical direction compacting the garbage thrown in.
  • the press plate is attached on an axis that is rotatable about a horizontal centre line and is operational each time when garbage is thrown in.
  • an underground garbage container having a press plate that is moved by a place-fixed drive including a piston rod which drive is fed by the electricity grid and is situated outside of the container, wherein the piston rod comes into abutment with the press plate and the press plate is rotated about a hinge axis at the bottom of the container.
  • the press plate is returned to a vertical stand-by position by a spring.
  • FR 2.710.329 Another solution is known from FR 2.710.329 , wherein a two-part garbage casing is accommodated underground in a permanent housing, and wherein the first casing part is movable between a garbage reception position below an inlet column above-ground and a pressing position wherein the garbage received is compressed against the second casing part.
  • the permanent housing is provided with a vertical press plate that is horizontally moved by a cylinder.
  • a flap that can be turned up is provided next to the inlet column for emptying the garbage casing, in compressed condition.
  • the pressing devices of many known arrangements require quite a lot of power, as a result of which the pressing devices usually need to be connected to the electricity grid. This results in an increase of the costs of installation.
  • Other known pressing devices require relatively much space and/or complex facilities.
  • a garbage or domestic waste container that can be moved as one unity, particularly suitable for placement underground, comprising a casing having a garbage space for receiving garbage, which casing comprises a bottom, a top side and a circumferential wall, wherein the casing is provided with a bottom wall in the bottom and with a filling passage for the garbage at the top side, wherein the garbage container is furthermore provided with a pressing device including a press, particularly press plate, that is particularly situated substantially parallel to the bottom, and a press drive for urging the press from a relatively high, stand-by position of the press, in a substantially linear movement of the press, to a pressing position situated relatively low in the garbage space, in which the garbage in the garbage space is compressed against the bottom wall.
  • a pressing device including a press, particularly press plate, that is particularly situated substantially parallel to the bottom, and a press drive for urging the press from a relatively high, stand-by position of the press, in a substantially linear movement of the press, to a pressing position situated relatively low in the garbage space, in
  • the pressing device of the garbage container therefore is suitable to compress the garbage that is already in the casing, also when the garbage reaches a level situated a little below the top side of the casing, effectively against the fixed (counter) surface formed by the bottom wall.
  • the pressing device is able to function independent of whether or not garbage is supplied, and thus will not need to be operational so often. As a result less power is required, resulting in a local energy source such as a PV panel including battery placed on the garbage container, sufficing.
  • the relatively high position and relatively low position mean the level of the positions in question relative to each other: the stand-by position is situated higher than the pressing position.
  • the drive that is operational in two directions is operational in vertical direction for moving the press substantially vertically up and down.
  • the press plate has a circumference that at least almost corresponds with the horizontal inner cross-section of the casing, so that it is prevented that during pressing garbage reaches the top side of the press plate and the garbage can be compressed in a substantially evenly manner.
  • the garbage container In order to prevent that garbage thrown in ends up at the top side of the press and remains lying there, the garbage container can be provided with a chute (having a rectangular, circular or other cross-section) for guiding garbage thrown in down into the opening in the press. This can be prevented to an even larger extent, if not ruled out, if the chute is divided into chute sections that are telescopically movable with respect to each other between a retracted position in the stand-by position of the press and an extended position in the pressing position of the press.
  • the chute can be place-fixed at the upper end and attached to the press at the lower end, so that at downward extension of the press the chute extends as if of its own accord, and at retracting the press the chute is also retracted or telescopically folded in.
  • an arrangement having mobile garbage containers placed in a cellar and a filling chute extending through a hole in the ceiling of the cellar, the filling chute having a pressing device attached thereon for compressing the garbage received in a mobile garbage container placed underneath it.
  • the pressing device comprises a two-part press plate, wherein two pressure flaps are movable by means of an additional scissor structure including operation cylinder, between a filling position, in which they are rotated away from each other and the lower end of the filling chute is open for garbage, and a horizontal pressing position.
  • the garbage container according to the invention comprises its own pressing device and its press plate need not be transformed from a filling position, in which garbage can be received, to a pressing position, as a result of which use of energy is saved on and the arrangement can remain simple.
  • the invention enables a large degree of compression of the garbage present in the casing, if the stroke of the drive and the press exceeds a quarter of the depth of the garbage space, preferably exceeds half the depth of the garbage space, preferably about 3 ⁇ 4 of the depth of the garbage space or even more.
  • the depth of the garbage space is the distance in vertical direction that is available in principle for the garbage in the garbage space. The larger the stroke the more readily the garbage in the garbage space can be compressed. Furthermore a large stroke may be advantageous to an emptying process, see below.
  • the pressing device according to the invention can also be utilised for emptying the casing, if the garbage container, in a manner known per se, is provided with a lifting means for lifting the garbage container from ground level or out of the ground, wherein the bottom wall of the casing is provided with a closable opening for emptying.
  • the pressing device (which after all together with the casing forms the garbage container and therefore has been lifted along) can be operated as a result of which the emptying process is furthered, particularly when the garbage has become slightly stuck, for instance as a result of previous pressure courses or frost.
  • the pressing device can then be operated at lower power than is the case at pressing in the preceding filling stage of the casing of the garbage container.
  • the drive for the press comprises, preferably synchronous, drive members that operate parallel and that engage onto spaced apart locations of the press and preferably engage onto the press at locations situated near the circumferential wall.
  • the drive comprises one or more parallel, particularly multiple scissor structures that can be retracted and extended in vertical direction.
  • WO 2005/002994 an arrangement is known having an underground accommodation space including a carrousel of mobile garbage containers and a central filling chute.
  • the filling chute discharges garbage to a belt conveyor situated below it, with which the garbage is moved horizontally to one of the garbage containers and discharged thereto.
  • Above the mobile garbage containers press plates are situated that are movable by scissor structures attached to the bottom side of the walkable cover plate, and that therefore are positioned free from the mobile containers.
  • WO 2009/106522 also shows an arrangement including mobile garbage containers, wherein a press plate operated by a scissor structure attached to a permanent cover, is operational adjacent to a space where the mobile garbage container receives the garbage.
  • the garbage container is provided with means for determining the degree to which the garbage space has been filled. Said means can operate particularly acoustically, particularly ultrasonically.
  • the data from the filling degree determination means can be used for determining an optimal driving route for the collection trucks, for which purpose the garbage container is provided with a transmitter for (for instance via a wireless telephone network) transmitting the measurement data from the filling degree determination means to a remote location, particularly a central data storage unit and optionally data processing unit.
  • the garbage container can also be provided with means for determining the temperature in the garbage space, means for determining the status of a battery for the drive, means for determining a malfunction, such as the press not moving after activation of the drive, etcetera. Such data can also be transmitted to the said location.
  • the data from the filling degree determination means can be used for an optimal operation of the garbage container in question, for which purpose the garbage container is provided with an in particular programmable control unit for the drive, wherein the filling degree determination means are connected to the control unit and the control unit is adapted for activation of the drive depending on the data received from the filling degree determination means.
  • the control unit can be programmed for activating the drive at one or more particular filling degrees, such as approximately 40%, approximately 60%, and approximately 80%.
  • the control unit can be provided with a data storage as log for the activations and movements of the press. Said data can also be transmitted to the remote location.
  • the garbage container may comprise a PV panel including battery for feeding the drive and, if present the filling degree determination means and the transmitter.
  • Many existing garbage containers can also be provided with a pressing device according to the invention, for which purpose it is provided that the drive and the press, particularly the press plate, are part of a built-in unit.
  • the said opening in the press, the (particularly telescopic) chute can also be provided thereon.
  • the said filling degree determination means, the transmitter and the control unit can furthermore be provided thereon.
  • the press plate can in this case function as stable and safe direct or indirect support for the other components so that the built-in unit as a whole can be relatively easy to handle.
  • the garbage container can furthermore be provided with a shock sensor for detecting the lifting of the garbage container.
  • the shock sensor can for instance comprise a ball situated in a bowl, the movement of which ball can be detected by electronic means. In that way the number and moments of emptying can be logged in the control unit. If the press is also used for pushing the garbage out of the casing it can be provided that on the basis of data from the shock sensor the control unit switches to a low-power mode, in which, for driving the pressing device, lower power is used than is the case during pressing in the filling period.
  • the built-in unit can be detachably attached in the garbage container.
  • the built-in unit is attached against the lower side of a frame which as usual, and for instance by welding or bolts, is attached to the top side of the casing, particularly against its cross-beams, as a result of which in a simple manner a fixed push-off part is provided for the pressing device when it is active vertically downward.
  • a frame which as usual, and for instance by welding or bolts, is attached to the top side of the casing, particularly against its cross-beams, as a result of which in a simple manner a fixed push-off part is provided for the pressing device when it is active vertically downward.
  • the garbage container particularly for full or partial underground placement of the casing, can comprises a superstructure situated particularly vertically above the pressing device and having a filling inlet for garbage to be thrown in, which filling inlet is in a garbage-passing communication with the filling opening, wherein the superstructure preferably is provided with a lifting means for lifting the garbage container in order to be emptied.
  • the garbage container comprises a PV panel attached to the superstructure, which panel has a battery for feeding the drive and, if present, the filling degree determination means and the transmitter.
  • the superstructure provides a limited surface for a PV surface this will rather suffice for the pressing device that requires little power. It is noted that from NL 2001819 a PV panel on a garbage container is known per se but that the PV panel is in that case incorporated in the cover plate that can be walked on, as a result of which it can be slippery for users of the container, can get damaged and will quite quickly be less efficient due to dirt.
  • the invention provides a device apparently suitable as and intended for built-in unit according to the invention.
  • the invention in particular provides a built-in unit for accommodation in a garbage container according to the invention, comprising a pressing device having a press plate provided with a passage for garbage, a drive for the press plate, and preferably also a telescopic chute connecting to the passage and attached to a top side of the press plate.

  • the invention provides a method for collecting garbage in underground garbage containers, particularly garbage containers according to the invention, wherein the garbage received in the garbage space of the garbage containers is compressed against the bottom of the garbage space by exerting a vertically downwardly oriented pressure force by substantially vertically and linearly moving a press in the garbage space.
  • the filling degree of the garbage space is determined, particularly by acoustic measurement, more particularly by acoustic measurement in downward direction on the garbage in the garbage space, wherein the press is activated in dependence on a pre-determined value of the measurement.

As the chute sections 7a-d extend and retract the garbage cannot end up on the press plate or on another undesirable place within the casing 11, but will always be guided in direction B to the passage 2b.
  • the occasions of compression in a garbage container 10 can be transferred via the transmitter 9 by the control unit 50 to a central computer 200 including data storage and data processing, see figure 4 , with receiver 201.
  • the computer 200 can be located anywhere, accessible to a user, such as a garbage collection company.
  • the computer can be in the same room as the operator or be remote therefrom and be accessible from an operator room, for instance via an internet connection.
  • a log of those occasions can be kept in the data storage.
  • the measurement data at level W1 can also be transferred thereto.
  • measurement data (including temperature measurements and possible malfunctions) can thus, in a parallel manner, be received from many garbage containers 10a-f, and more, said data can be stored and where necessary be processed.
  • the position of the garbage containers has been entered in the computer 200 beforehand, and can optionally be tracked via GSM or GPS if a garbage container has been moved in connection with maintenance.
  • the central computer 200 can make information available to a user, such as the garbage collection company, regarding the logistically most optimal route (for instance S1-S6) for a collection truck 202, provided with a transmitter/receiver 203.
  • a user such as the garbage collection company
  • the logistically most optimal route for instance S1-S6 for a collection truck 202, provided with a transmitter/receiver 203.
  • the control unit 50 activates the actuators 4a,b, but in connection with the received signal from the sensor 30 at lower power.
  • the casing 11 is brought over the loading space of the collection truck by the arm 206 and by means of lifting means 20, in the manner known per se, the flaps 15 are opened, direction F.
  • the garbage W is urged downwards out of the casing 11 by the pressing device, see figure 4C .
  • the transmitter 9 can also be functional for a sensor (not shown) for following the temperature in the space 30 yet to be discussed of the garbage container. When exceeding a safety value the control unit 50 is able to send a related signal to the operating room (see figure 4 ) after which action can be taken, such as dispatching a fire unit.
  • the transmitter 9 can also be functional for informing the operating room about malfunctions, such as the press jamming or the power of a battery for the drives 4a,b being too low.
