Description

La présente invention concerne un ensemble de conteneur, destiné à contenir des déchets à collecter au moyen d'un véhicule de collecte.The present invention relates to a container assembly, intended to contain waste to be collected by means of a collection vehicle.

La présente invention trouve notamment application dans le domaine de la collecte de déchets ménagers et assimilés et/ou industriels.The present invention finds particular application in the field of the collection of household and similar waste and / or industrial.

Dans l'art antérieur, par exemple suivant EP0842871A1 , il existe un ensemble de conteneur pour déchets qui comprend un conteneur de grande masse utile et des moyens de manipulation adaptés pour permettre à un véhicule de collecte de manipuler le conteneur afin de vidanger le conteneur dans le véhicule de collecte. Après avoir manipulé et vidangé le conteneur, par l'intermédiaire d'un bras articulé, le véhicule de collecte repose le conteneur sur le sol.In the prior art, for example following EP0842871A1 there is a waste container assembly that includes a large payload container and handling means adapted to allow a collection vehicle to handle the container to drain the container into the collection vehicle. After having handled and emptied the container, via an articulated arm, the collection vehicle rests the container on the ground.

Cependant, ce conteneur de l'art antérieur ne peut pas avoir une position de remplissage stable au cours de sa durée de service. En effet, le véhicule de collecte se place forcément de manière variable à proximité du conteneur. Donc à chaque vidange du conteneur, le conteneur se trouve décalé de sa position de remplissage initiale. En outre, lorsque le conteneur est vide, des utilisateurs risquent par mégarde de décaler le conteneur. Lorsque ce décalage devient excessif, au bout de plusieurs vidanges, le véhicule de collecte ne peut plus manipuler le conteneur. Il faut alors une intervention spécifique pour replacer le conteneur, ce qui augmente la durée et le coût de la collecte.However, this container of the prior art can not have a stable filling position during its service life. Indeed, the collection vehicle is inevitably placed in a variable manner near the container. So at each emptying of the container, the container is offset from its initial filling position. In addition, when the container is empty, users may inadvertently shift the container. When this shift becomes excessive, after several empties, the collection vehicle can no longer handle the container. It requires a specific intervention to replace the container, which increases the duration and cost of collection.

La présente invention vise notamment à résoudre, en tout ou partie, les problèmes mentionnés ci-avant.The present invention aims to solve, in whole or in part, the problems mentioned above.

À cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un ensemble de conteneur, destiné à contenir des déchets, par exemple de type ménagers et/ou industriels, à collecter au moyen d'un véhicule de collecte, l'ensemble de conteneur comprenant au moins :

  • un conteneur adapté pour être placé totalement ou partiellement au-dessus du niveau du sol et dans une position de remplissage, dans laquelle des utilisateurs peuvent remplir de déchets le conteneur;
  • des moyens de manipulation liés au conteneur et adaptés pour permettre la manipulation du conteneur par le véhicule de collecte de façon à placer le conteneur dans une position de vidange, dans laquelle le conteneur est vidangé dans le véhicule de collecte ;
l'ensemble de conteneur étant caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend en outre un dispositif de support adapté pour être posé sur un sol et pour supporter le conteneur en position de remplissage, la masse du dispositif de support étant supérieure à 80%, de préférence supérieure à 100%, de la somme de la masse utile du conteneur plus la masse du conteneur vide.To this end, the subject of the invention is a container assembly, intended to contain waste, for example of the household and / or industrial type, to be collected by means of a collection vehicle, the container assembly comprising at least :
  • a container adapted to be placed totally or partially above the ground level and in a filling position, in which users can fill the container with waste;
  • handling means related to the container and adapted to allow handling of the container by the collection vehicle so as to place the container in a drain position, wherein the container is drained into the collection vehicle;
the container assembly being characterized in that it further comprises a support device adapted to be placed on a floor and for supporting the container in the filling position, the mass of the support device being greater than 80%, preferably greater than 100%, of the sum of the useful mass of the container plus the mass of the empty container.

Dans la présente demande, le terme « masse utile du conteneur » désigne la masse de déchets contenus dans le conteneur lorsque le conteneur est plein. La masse utile peut être déterminée par exemple à partir du volume utile du conteneur et de la masse volumique usuelle des déchets ménagers.In the present application, the term "useful mass of the container" refers to the mass of waste contained in the container when the container is full. The useful mass can be determined for example from the useful volume of the container and the usual density of household waste.

Ainsi, un tel ensemble de conteneur permet de définir et de conserver une position du conteneur qui est optimale d'une part pour la collecte et d'autre part pour les utilisateurs. En particulier, un dispositif de support pesant permet de replacer le conteneur au plus près de sa position de remplissage initiale, ce qui permet une manipulation stable, durable et rapide du conteneur durant de nombreuses collectes. En d'autres termes, un tel ensemble de conteneur évite le décalage progressif du dispositif de support et/ou du conteneur hors de sa position de remplissage initiale.Thus, such a set of containers makes it possible to define and maintain a position of the container which is optimal on the one hand for the collection and on the other hand for the users. In particular, a heavy support device makes it possible to replace the container as close as possible to its initial filling position, which allows a stable, durable and rapid handling of the container during numerous collections. In other words, such a container assembly avoids the progressive shifting of the support device and / or the container from its initial filling position.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, la masse du dispositif de support est comprise entre 500 kg et 2000 kg, de préférence entre 700 kg et 1200 kg.According to one embodiment of the invention, the mass of the support device is between 500 kg and 2000 kg, preferably between 700 kg and 1200 kg.

Ainsi, un tel dispositif de support peut avoir une masse adaptée pour stabiliser un conteneur dont la somme de la masse utile et de la masse du conteneur à supporter est comprise entre environ 700 kg et environ 1200 kg. La masse du dispositif de support est sélectionnée en fonction de la masse totale du conteneur à supporter. Ce mode de réalisation permet donc d'associer une gamme de dispositifs de support à une gamme de conteneurs.Thus, such a support device may have a mass adapted to stabilize a container whose sum of the useful mass and the mass of the container to be supported is between about 700 kg and about 1200 kg. The mass of the support device is selected according to the total mass of the container to be supported. This embodiment therefore makes it possible to associate a range of support devices with a range of containers.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le dispositif de support est composé de béton, le dispositif de support comprenant de préférence une armature métallique.According to one embodiment of the invention, the support device is made of concrete, the support device preferably comprising a metal frame.

Ainsi, un tel dispositif de support peut résister aux contraintes mécaniques, chimiques et thermiques auxquelles il est soumis pendant sa durée de service.Thus, such a support device can withstand the mechanical, chemical and thermal stresses to which it is subjected during its service life.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le conteneur présente une première surface d'appui agencée pour reposer sur le dispositif de support lorsque le conteneur est en position de remplissage, dans lequel le dispositif de support présente une deuxième surface d'appui, la première surface d'appui ayant une superficie inférieure ou égale à la deuxième surface d'appui de sorte le dispositif de support dépasse du conteneur sur au moins deux côtés du conteneur lorsque le conteneur est en position de remplissage.According to one embodiment of the invention, the container has a first bearing surface arranged to rest on the support device when the container is in the filling position, in which the support device has a second bearing surface, the first bearing surface having an area less than or equal to the second bearing surface so the support device protrudes from the container on at least two sides of the container when the container is in the filling position.

En d'autres termes, l'encombrement au sol du dispositif de support est supérieur ou égal à l'encombrement au sol du conteneur. Ainsi, un tel dispositif de support permet de stabiliser durablement le conteneur dans sa position de remplissage, car il lui procure une deuxième surface d'appui étendue.In other words, the footprint of the support device is greater than or equal to the footprint of the container. Thus, such a support device can permanently stabilize the container in its filling position, because it provides a second extended support surface.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le dispositif de support comprend des moyens de guidage pour guider le conteneur vers la position de remplissage.According to one embodiment of the invention, the support device comprises guiding means for guiding the container towards the filling position.

Ainsi, de tels moyens de guidage permettent de supporter durablement le conteneur dans sa position de remplissage malgré de nombreuses vidanges du conteneur.Thus, such guide means can sustainably support the container in its filling position despite many emptying of the container.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, les moyens de guidage sont formés par au moins deux protubérances agencées pour pénétrer respectivement dans des cavités complémentaires ménagées dans le conteneur.According to one embodiment of the invention, the guide means are formed by at least two protuberances arranged to penetrate respectively in complementary cavities formed in the container.

Ainsi, de telles protubérances permettent, pour un faible coût de fabrication, le replacement rapide du conteneur dans sa position de remplissage.Thus, such protuberances allow, for a low manufacturing cost, rapid replacement of the container in its filling position.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'ensemble de conteneur comprend en outre un garde-corps qui est lié au dispositif de support et qui s'étend sensiblement le long du côté où les utilisateurs peuvent remplir de déchets le conteneur.According to one embodiment of the invention, the container assembly further comprises a railing which is bonded to the support device and which extends substantially along the side where the users can fill the container with waste.

Ainsi, un tel garde-corps évite qu'une personne ne passe à l'emplacement du conteneur, ce qui augmente la sécurité de l'ensemble de conteneur, en particulier lorsque le conteneur est en position de vidange et lorsque le conteneur est placé dans un logement situé sous le niveau du sol.Thus, such a railing prevents a person from passing to the location of the container, which increases the safety of the container assembly, particularly when the container is in the emptying position and when the container is placed in a container. a dwelling located below ground level.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le dispositif de support a globalement la forme d'une plaque adaptée pour reposer sur un sol, par exemple sur une chaussée ou sur un trottoir.According to one embodiment of the invention, the support device generally has the form of a plate adapted to rest on a floor, for example on a roadway or on a sidewalk.

Ainsi, le coût de fabrication d'un tel dispositif de support est faible.Thus, the manufacturing cost of such a support device is low.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le dispositif de support forme un logement adapté pour loger une partie du conteneur lorsque le conteneur est en position de remplissage.According to one embodiment of the invention, the support device forms a housing adapted to house a portion of the container when the container is in the filling position.

Ainsi, un tel dispositif de support permet de placer le conteneur dans un logement situé sous le niveau du sol. En d'autres termes, le conteneur peut être partiellement enterré, ce qui permet d'installer un conteneur de grande hauteur, donc de grande masse utile, en maintenant le haut de ce conteneur à une altitude accessible aux utilisateurs.Thus, such a support device makes it possible to place the container in a housing located below the ground level. In other words, the container can be partially buried, which makes it possible to install a container of great height, thus of great useful mass, by keeping the top of this container at an altitude accessible to the users.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le logement a une profondeur, mesurée verticalement lorsque le conteneur est en position de remplissage, inférieure à 650 mm, de préférence inférieure à 600 mm.According to one embodiment of the invention, the housing has a depth, measured vertically when the container is in the filling position, less than 650 mm, preferably less than 600 mm.

Ainsi, une telle profondeur permet d'installer le dispositif de support dans une cavité ménagée au-dessus des réseaux publics, qui doivent être situés à plus de 700 mm du niveau du sol.Thus, such a depth allows to install the support device in a cavity formed above the public networks, which must be located more than 700 mm from the ground level.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le conteneur a au moins une face oblique ou bombée dont l'inclinaison ou la courbure est dimensionnée pour permettre le dégagement du conteneur hors du logement sans exercer d'efforts sur le dispositif de support.According to one embodiment of the invention, the container has at least one oblique or curved face whose inclination or curvature is dimensioned to allow the release of the container from the housing without exerting any effort on the support device.

Ainsi, une telle face oblique ou bombée permet de manipuler facilement le conteneur sans aucun risque de décaler le dispositif de support.Thus, such an oblique or convex face makes it easy to handle the container without any risk of shifting the support device.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'ensemble de conteneur comprend en outre des moyens de compensation adaptés pour compenser une déclivité du sol, par exemple de la chaussée, inférieure à 15 degrés, de préférence inférieure à 11 degrés, de préférence encore inférieure à 7 degrés.According to one embodiment of the invention, the container assembly further comprises compensating means adapted to compensate for a slope of the ground, for example of the roadway, of less than 15 degrees, preferably less than 11 degrees, preferably still less than 7 degrees.

Ainsi, de tels moyens de compensation permettent de maintenir stable le conteneur malgré la déclivité du sol.Thus, such compensation means can maintain the stable container despite the declivity of the ground.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, les moyens de compensation comprennent au moins un pied qui est réglable en hauteur et qui est lié au dispositif de support ou au conteneur.According to one embodiment of the invention, the compensation means comprise at least one foot which is adjustable in height and which is connected to the support device or to the container.

Ainsi, de tels pieds permettent de régler la hauteur de compensation en fonction de la déclivité locale du sol.Thus, such feet make it possible to adjust the height of compensation as a function of the local slope of the ground.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, les moyens de compensation sont formés par un bord périphérique supérieur défini par le dispositif de support autour du logement, la hauteur du dispositif de support, mesurée verticalement lorsque le conteneur est en position de remplissage, étant supérieure à 700 mm, de sorte que, lorsque le dispositif de support est posé sur le fond d'un trou ayant une profondeur maximale de 700 mm, le bord périphérique supérieur se trouve au-dessus du niveau du sol entourant le trou.According to one embodiment of the invention, the compensation means are formed by an upper peripheral edge defined by the support device around the housing, the height of the support device, measured vertically when the container is in the filling position, being greater than 700 mm, so that when the support device is placed on the bottom of a hole having a maximum depth of 700 mm, the upper peripheral edge is above the ground level surrounding the hole.

En d'autres termes, le bord périphérique supérieur se trouve au-dessus du bord supérieur du trou sur le fond duquel est posé le dispositif de support. Le dispositif de support est donc placé au fond du trou. Ainsi, un tel bord périphérique supérieur compense la déclivité du sol, pour un coût de fabrication relativement faible, de sorte que l'eau s'écoulant sur le sol ne peut pas pénétrer dans le logement.In other words, the upper peripheral edge is above the upper edge of the hole on the bottom of which is placed the support device. The support device is placed at the bottom of the hole. Thus, such an upper peripheral edge compensates the slope of the ground, for a relatively low manufacturing cost, so that the water flowing on the ground can not enter the housing.

Les modes de réalisation de l'invention et les variantes de l'invention mentionnés ci-avant peuvent être pris isolément ou selon toute combinaison techniquement possible.The embodiments of the invention and the variants of the invention mentioned above can be taken individually or in any combination technically possible.

La figure 1 illustre un ensemble de conteneur 1 qui est destiné à contenir des déchets ménagers et assimilés et/ou industriels, à collecter au moyen d'un véhicule de collecte non représenté.The figure 1 illustrates a set of container 1 which is intended to contain household and similar waste and / or industrial, to collect by means of a not shown collection vehicle.

L'ensemble de conteneur 1 comprend un conteneur 2 qui est adapté pour être placé totalement au-dessus du niveau du sol S. Le conteneur 2 est adapté pour être placé dans une position de remplissage non représentée, dans laquelle des utilisateurs peuvent remplir de déchets le conteneur 2. À cet effet, le conteneur 2 peut présenter une ouverture sur une face 2.4, située côté utilisateur ou trottoir, pour introduire les déchets dans le conteneur 2. De plus, le conteneur 2 a un couvercle 2.1 qui pivote, dans le but de vidanger le conteneur 2 dans une position de vidange non représentée. Le couvercle 2.1 permet aussi, le cas échéant, aux utilisateurs de remplir le conteneur 2.The container assembly 1 comprises a container 2 which is adapted to be placed completely above the ground level S. The container 2 is adapted to be placed in a filling position, not shown, in which users can fill with waste the container 2. For this purpose, the container 2 may have an opening on a face 2.4, located on the user's side or sidewalk, to introduce the waste into the container 2. In addition, the container 2 has a cover 2.1 which pivots, in the purpose of draining the container 2 in a drain position not shown. The cover 2.1 also allows, where appropriate, users to fill the container 2.

Le conteneur 2 a globalement la forme d'un parallélépipède, avec une face supérieure oblique pour maximiser le volume utile du conteneur 2 tout en facilitant son accès aux utilisateurs. Le conteneur 2 peut être composé de thermoplastique. Le conteneur 2 peut être fabriqué par rotomoulage, de façon à en réduire le coût de fabrication.The container 2 has the overall shape of a parallelepiped, with an oblique upper face to maximize the useful volume of the container 2 while facilitating its access to users. The container 2 may be composed of thermoplastic. The container 2 can be manufactured by rotational molding, so as to reduce the cost of manufacture.

L'ensemble de conteneur 1 comprend en outre des moyens de manipulation 4 qui sont liés au conteneur 2. Les moyens de manipulation 4 sont adaptés pour permettre la manipulation du conteneur 2 par le véhicule de collecte de façon à placer le conteneur 2 dans une position de vidange non représentée.The container assembly 1 further comprises handling means 4 which are connected to the container 2. The handling means 4 are adapted to allow the handling of the container 2 by the collection vehicle so as to place the container 2 in a position emptying not shown.

Dans la position de vidange, le conteneur 2 est vidangé dans le véhicule de collecte. Pour manipuler le conteneur 2, le véhicule de collecte comporte un mécanisme, par exemple un bras articulé. Pour vidanger plusieurs conteneurs du type 2, le véhicule de collecte comporte un réceptacle de grand volume.In the emptying position, the container 2 is emptied into the collection vehicle. To handle the container 2, the collection vehicle comprises a mechanism, for example an articulated arm. To empty several type 2 containers, the collection vehicle has a large volume receptacle.

Dans l'exemple de la figure 1, les moyens de manipulation 4 comprennent une armature métallique 4.1 et des axes 4.2 qui permettent le basculement du conteneur 2 par le mécanisme du véhicule de collecte.In the example of the figure 1 , the handling means 4 comprise a metal frame 4.1 and 4.2 shafts that allow the tilting of the container 2 by the mechanism of the collection vehicle.

De plus, l'ensemble de conteneur 1 comprend un dispositif de support 3. Le dispositif de support 3 est adapté pour être posé sur un sol S, qui est formé en l'occurrence par un trottoir. Le dispositif de support 3 est aussi adapté pour supporter le conteneur 2 en position de remplissage. Dans l'exemple de la figure 1, la masse du dispositif de support 3 est d'environ 100% de la somme de la masse utile du conteneur 2 plus la masse du conteneur 2 vide.In addition, the container assembly 1 comprises a support device 3. The support device 3 is adapted to be placed on a floor S, which is formed in this case by a sidewalk. The support device 3 is also adapted to support the container 2 in the filling position. In the example of the figure 1 , the mass of the support device 3 is about 100% of the sum of the useful mass of the container 2 plus the mass of the empty container 2.

Dans l'exemple de la figure 1, la masse utile du conteneur 2 est d'environ 700 kg et la masse du conteneur 2 vide d'environ 100 kg. Cette masse utile d'environ 700 kg correspond à un volume utile du conteneur 2 d'environ 2 m3, pour une masse volumique de déchets ménagers d'environ 350 kg/m3.In the example of the figure 1 , the useful mass of the container 2 is about 700 kg and the mass of the container 2 empty of about 100 kg. This useful mass of about 700 kg corresponds to a useful volume of the container 2 of about 2 m 3 , for a density of household waste of about 350 kg / m 3 .

Dans l'exemple de la figure 1 , le dispositif de support 3 est composé de béton et il comprend une armature métallique non représentée. Le dispositif de support 3 a globalement la forme d'une plaque qui est adaptée pour reposer sur le sol S, lequel peut être formé par une chaussée ou par un trottoir.In the example of the figure 1 , the support device 3 is composed of concrete and it comprises a not shown metal frame. The support device 3 has the overall shape of a plate which is adapted to rest on the ground S, which may be formed by a roadway or a sidewalk.

Par ailleurs, le conteneur 2 présente une première surface d'appui, non visible mais localisée par la flèche 2.2 à la figure 1, qui est agencée pour reposer sur le dispositif de support 3 lorsque le conteneur 2 est en position de remplissage. De même, le dispositif de support 3 présente une deuxième surface d'appui 3.2. La première surface d'appui 2.2 a une superficie inférieure à la deuxième surface d'appui 3.2 de sorte le dispositif de support 3 dépasse du conteneur 2 sur au moins deux côtés du conteneur 2 lorsque le conteneur 2 est en position de remplissage.Furthermore, the container 2 has a first bearing surface, not visible but localized by the arrow 2.2 to the figure 1 which is arranged to rest on the support device 3 when the container 2 is in the filling position. Similarly, the support device 3 has a second bearing surface 3.2. The first bearing surface 2.2 has an area smaller than the second bearing surface 3.2 so that the support device 3 protrudes from the container 2 on at least two sides of the container 2 when the container 2 is in the filling position.

De plus, le dispositif de support 3 comprend des moyens de guidage 5 pour guider le conteneur 2 vers la position de remplissage. Dans l'exemple de la figure 1, les moyens de guidage 5 sont formés par deux protubérances qui sont agencées pour pénétrer respectivement dans des cavités complémentaires 2.5 ménagées sur les côtés du conteneur 2.In addition, the support device 3 comprises guide means 5 for guiding the container 2 to the filling position. In the example of the figure 1 , the guide means 5 are formed by two protuberances which are arranged to penetrate respectively in complementary cavities 2.5 formed on the sides of the container 2.

L'ensemble de conteneur 1 comprend en outre un garde-corps 6 qui est lié au dispositif de support 3 et qui s'étend sensiblement le long du côté où les utilisateurs peuvent remplir de déchets le conteneur 2. Dans l'exemple de la figure 1, le garde-corps 6 est composé d'une façade 6.1 qui est fixée sur des cadres 6.2, eux-mêmes solidaires du dispositif de support 3. Les cadres 6.2 sont par exemple vissés dans le béton du dispositif de support 3 et collés au garde-corps 6.The container assembly 1 further comprises a railing 6 which is connected to the support device 3 and which extends substantially along the side where the users can fill the container with waste 2. In the example of the figure 1 , the railing 6 is composed of a facade 6.1 which is fixed on frames 6.2, themselves secured to the support device 3. The frames 6.2 are for example screwed into the concrete of the support device 3 and glued to the guard -body 6.

L'ensemble de conteneur 1 comprend en outre des moyens de compensation adaptés pour compenser une déclivité du sol S inférieure à 7 degrés d'angle. Dans l'exemple de la figure 1, les moyens de compensation comprennent des pieds 7, dont deux sont visibles à la figure 1 et qui sont réglables en hauteur. Les pieds 7 sont ici liés à la face inférieure du dispositif de support 3.The container assembly 1 further comprises compensating means adapted to compensate for a slope of the ground S less than 7 degrees of angle. In the example of the figure 1 , the compensation means comprise feet 7, two of which are visible at the figure 1 and which are adjustable in height. The feet 7 are here linked to the underside of the support device 3.

Les figures 2 et 3 illustrent un ensemble de conteneur 101 conforme à un deuxième mode de réalisation de réalisation de l'invention. Dans la mesure où l'ensemble de conteneur 101 est similaire à l'ensemble de conteneur 1, la description de l'ensemble de conteneur 1 donnée ci-avant en relation avec la figure 1 peut être transposée à l'ensemble de conteneur 101, à l'exception des différences notables énoncées ci-après.The Figures 2 and 3 illustrate a set of container 101 according to a second embodiment of the invention. Since the container assembly 101 is similar to the container assembly 1, the description of the container assembly 1 given above in relation to the figure 1 may be transposed to the set of container 101, except for the notable differences set forth below.

Un composant de l'ensemble de conteneur 101 identique ou correspondant, par sa structure ou par sa fonction, à un composant de l'ensemble de conteneur 1 porte la même référence numérique augmentée de 100. On définit ainsi un conteneur 102, un dispositif de support 103 et des moyens de manipulation 104 et des moyens de guidage 105, ainsi qu'un garde-corps 106.A component of the container assembly 101 which is identical or corresponding, in structure or function, to a component of the container assembly 1 has the same numerical reference increased by 100. Thus, a container 102 is defined. support 103 and handling means 104 and guide means 105, as well as a railing 106.

L'ensemble de conteneur 101 diffère de l'ensemble de conteneur 1, notamment car, pour introduire des déchets individuels dans le conteneur 102, l'ensemble de conteneur 101 présente une ouverture 108qui est disposée en regard d'une encoche 108.6 qui s'étend à partir d'un bord supérieur du garde-corps 106. L'encoche 108.6 évite que le garde-corps 106 soit inopinément solidarisé au conteneur 102, ce qui empêcherait de vidanger normalement le conteneur 102. Lors d'une vidange du conteneur 102, la portion du conteneur 102 qui présente l'ouverture 108 glisse le long de l'encoche 108.6 de façon à dégager le conteneur 102 sans accrocher le garde-corps 106.The container assembly 101 differs from the container assembly 1, in particular because, to introduce individual waste into the container 102, the container assembly 101 has an opening 108 which is disposed opposite a notch 108.6 which extends from an upper edge of the railing 106. The notch 108.6 prevents the railing 106 from being unexpectedly secured to the container 102, which would prevent the container 102 from being emptied normally. When emptying the container 102 , the portion of the container 102 which has the opening 108 slides along the notch 108.6 so as to disengage the container 102 without hanging the guardrail 106.

Les figures 4, 5 et 6 illustrent un ensemble de conteneur 201 conforme à un deuxième mode de réalisation de réalisation de l'invention. Dans la mesure où l'ensemble de conteneur 201 est similaire à l'ensemble de conteneur 1, la description de l'ensemble de conteneur 1 donnée ci-avant en relation avec la figure 1 peut être transposée à l'ensemble de conteneur 201, à l'exception des différences notables énoncées ci-après.The Figures 4, 5 and 6 illustrate a set of container 201 according to a second embodiment of the invention. Since the container set 201 is similar to the container set 1, the description of the set of container 1 given above in relation to the figure 1 may be transposed to the set of container 201, except for the notable differences set forth below.

Un composant de l'ensemble de conteneur 201 identique ou correspondant, par sa structure ou par sa fonction, à un composant de l'ensemble de conteneur 1 porte la même référence numérique augmentée de 100. On définit ainsi un conteneur 202 avec des cavités complémentaires 202.5, un dispositif de support 203, des moyens de manipulation 204, des moyens de guidage 205 et un garde-corps 206, ainsi qu'une ouverture 208. Le garde-corps 206 est visible à la figure 4 ou 5.A component of the container assembly 201 which is identical or corresponding, in structure or function, to a component of the container assembly 1 bears the same numerical reference increased by 100. A container 202 is thus defined with complementary cavities 202.5, a support device 203, handling means 204, guide means 205 and a railing 206 , as well as an opening 208. The railing 206 is visible at the figure 4 or 5 .

L'ensemble de conteneur 201 diffère de l'ensemble de conteneur 1, notamment car le dispositif de support 203 forme un logement 203.3 qui est adapté pour loger une partie du conteneur 202 lorsque le conteneur 202 est en position de remplissage, telle qu'illustrée aux figures 5 et 6.The container assembly 201 differs from the container assembly 1, in particular since the support device 203 forms a housing 203.3 which is adapted to house a portion of the container 202 when the container 202 is in the filling position, as illustrated to the Figures 5 and 6 .

L'ensemble de conteneur 201 diffère en outre de l'ensemble de conteneur 1, car le conteneur 202 a un volume utile d'environ 3,3 m3, ce qui est supérieur au volume utile du conteneur 2, qui est d'environ 2,4 m3. Donc la masse utile du conteneur 202 est d'environ 1000 kg. La masse du conteneur 202 à vide est d'environ 150.The container assembly 201 also differs from the container assembly 1, because the container 202 has a useful volume of about 3.3 m3, which is greater than the useful volume of the container 2, which is about 2 , 4 m 3 . Therefore the useful mass of the container 202 is about 1000 kg. The mass of the empty container 202 is about 150.

Dans l'exemple des figures 4, 5 et 6, le logement 203.3 a une profondeur P203.3 qui est d'environ 600 mm. Donc, le logement 203.3 permet de loger une partie du conteneur 202 qui a une hauteur de 600 mm. La hauteur totale du dispositif de support 203, incluant l'épaisseur de la plaque de fond du dispositif de support 203, est inférieure à 700 mm. En service, lorsque le dispositif de support 203 est implanté sur un bord de chaussée, il peut être implanté de façon à dépasser d'environ 100 mm au-dessus du niveau du fil d'eau d'une rue, ce qui évite que l'eau s'écoule et s'accumule dans le logement 203.3.In the example of Figures 4, 5 and 6 , the housing 203.3 has a depth P203.3 which is about 600 mm. Thus, the housing 203.3 makes it possible to house a portion of the container 202 which has a height of 600 mm. The total height of the support device 203, including the thickness of the bottom plate of the support device 203, is less than 700 mm. In use, when the support device 203 is implanted on a roadside edge, it can be implanted so as to project about 100 mm above the level of the water line of a street, which prevents the water flows and accumulates in housing 203.3.

De plus, l'ensemble de conteneur 201 diffère de l'ensemble de conteneur 1, car le conteneur 202 a une face 202.9 qui est bombée et dont la courbure est dimensionnée pour permettre le dégagement du conteneur 202 hors du logement 203.3 sans exercer d'efforts sur le dispositif de support 203.In addition, the container assembly 201 differs from the container assembly 1, because the container 202 has a 202.9 face which is curved and whose curvature is dimensioned to allow the clearance of the container 202 from the housing 203.3 without exercising efforts on the support device 203.

L'ensemble de conteneur 201 diffère en outre de l'ensemble de conteneur 1, car les moyens de compensation de la déclivité du sol sont formés par un bord périphérique supérieur 211 qui est défini par le dispositif de support 203 autour du logement 203.3. La hauteur H203.3 du dispositif de support 203, mesurée verticalement lorsque le conteneur 202 est en position de remplissage, étant supérieure à 700 mm, de sorte que, lorsque le dispositif de support 203 est posé sur le fond d'un trou ayant une profondeur maximale de 700 mm, le bord périphérique supérieur 211 se trouve au-dessus du niveau du sol entourant le trou.The container assembly 201 further differs from the container assembly 1 because the ground slope compensating means is formed by an upper peripheral edge 211 which is defined by the support device 203 around the housing 203.3. The height H203.3 of the support device 203, measured vertically when the container 202 is in the filling position, being greater than 700 mm, so that when the support device 203 is placed on the bottom of a hole having a maximum depth 700 mm, the upper peripheral edge 211 is above the ground level surrounding the hole.

Ainsi, le dispositif de support 203 est adapté pour être posé sur un sol, comme le dispositif de support 3 de l'ensemble de conteneur 1. Mais à la différence du dispositif de support 3, qui peut être au niveau du trottoir ou de la chaussée, le dispositif de support 203 est adapté pour être posé sur un sol formé par le fond d'un trou creusé par exemple dans un trottoir ou dans une chaussée. Donc le dispositif de support 203 est placé au fond d'un trou, alors que le dispositif de support 3 est adapté pour être posé sur un trottoir ou une chaussée.Thus, the support device 203 is adapted to be placed on a floor, such as the support device 3 of the container assembly 1. But unlike the support device 3, which can be at the level of the sidewalk or the floor. floor, the support device 203 is adapted to be placed on a floor formed by the bottom of a hole dug for example in a sidewalk or in a roadway. So the support device 203 is placed at the bottom of a hole, while the support device 3 is adapted to be placed on a sidewalk or pavement.

Les figures 7A, 7B, 7C et 7D illustrent partiellement la cinématique de vidange de l'ensemble de conteneur 201 de la figure 4, lorsque le conteneur passe de la position de remplissage (figure 7A) à la position de vidange.The FIGS. 7A, 7B, 7C and 7D partially illustrate the emptying kinematics of the container assembly 201 of the figure 4 when the container moves from the filling position ( Figure 7A ) at the emptying position.

La figure 8 illustre un ensemble de conteneur 301 qui est conforme à un cinquième mode de réalisation de l'invention et qui diffère de l'ensemble de conteneur 201, notamment car l'ensemble de conteneur 301 ne comprend pas de garde-corps. À la figure 8, un utilisateur U se tient près du conteneur, lequel est donc en cours de remplissage. La hauteur maximale du conteneur est déterminée en fonction de la taille de l'utilisateur, pour permettre à l'utilisateur de remplir le conteneur en position de remplissage.The figure 8 illustrates a container assembly 301 which is in accordance with a fifth embodiment of the invention and which differs from the container assembly 201, especially since the container assembly 301 does not include guardrails. To the figure 8 , a user U stands near the container, which is therefore being filled. The maximum height of the container is determined according to the size of the user, to allow the user to fill the container in the filling position.
