Description

L'invention concerne les sacs pour la collecte de déchets.The invention relates to bags for waste collection.

Afin de limiter les coûts de collecte de déchets, certaines municipalités remplacent des bacs déplaçables et rigides par des bacs immobiles portant des sacs de collecte des déchets produits par les habitants. Un sac comprend habituellement une première ouverture à une extrémité du sac, pour l'introduction des déchets, et une ouverture située à une extrémité opposée pour vider les déchets du sac dans une benne d'un camion. Actuellement, cette deuxième ouverture est maintenue fermée au moyen d'une corde enroulée manuellement autour de cette dernière ouverture. Un opérateur doit, à chaque opération de vidage du sac, dérouler puis enrouler la corde autour de l'ouverture du sac. En outre, le bac comprend une structure de préhension, sous forme d'un crochet fixé sur un anneau pour suspendre le sac par sa première ouverture. Ainsi, le moyen de préhension et le moyen de fermeture du sac sont distincts. Pour procéder au vidage du sac, l'opérateur doit donc solidariser le crochet de la grue du camion au crochet du moyen de préhension du sac, puis, lorsque le sac est au-dessus de la benne du camion, procéder manuellement à l'ouverture du sac en tirant à la main sur la corde. Après le vidage, il procède à la fermeture du sac en enroulant la corde autour de l'ouverture de vidage et il doit enfin retirer le crochet du camion de celui du sac.In order to limit the costs of waste collection, some municipalities are replacing moving and rigid bins with stationary bins carrying bags of waste collected by the inhabitants. A bag usually includes a first opening at one end of the bag for introducing the waste, and an opening at an opposite end for emptying the waste from the bag into a truck body. Currently, this second opening is kept closed by means of a rope wound manually around the latter opening. An operator must, at each emptying operation of the bag, unroll and wind the rope around the opening of the bag. In addition, the tray comprises a gripping structure in the form of a hook attached to a ring for hanging the bag by its first opening. Thus, the gripping means and the closure means of the bag are distinct. To empty the bag, the operator must therefore secure the hook of the truck crane to the hook of the gripping means of the bag, then, when the bag is above the bucket of the truck, manually proceed to the opening of the bag by pulling on the rope. After emptying, he closes the bag by wrapping the rope around the emptying opening and he must finally remove the hook of the truck from that of the bag.

Cette opération est donc relativement longue. Ainsi, il serait souhaitable de réduire sa durée afin de diminuer le coût de la collecte des déchets. De plus, l'opération de vidage du sac est actuellement fastidieuse pour l'opérateur. Il serait donc également souhaitable, pour des questions de pénibilité, de réduire le nombre d'opérations que doit effectuer celui-ci à chaque vidage. Enfin, le procédé de vidage étant essentiellement manuel, il serait préférable d'en améliorer la fiabilité.This operation is therefore relatively long. Thus, it would be desirable to reduce its duration in order to reduce the cost of waste collection. In addition, the operation of emptying the bag is currently tedious for the operator. It would therefore also be desirable, for reasons of arduousness, to reduce the number of operations that it must perform at each emptying. Finally, since the emptying process is essentially manual, it would be preferable to improve its reliability.

Un but de l'invention est donc de proposer une structure de préhension pour un bac pour sac souple, qui facilite les opérations de collecte de déchets.An object of the invention is therefore to provide a gripping structure for a bag for flexible bag, which facilitates waste collection operations.

Pour ce faire, on prévoit selon l'invention une structure porteuse pour un bac destiné à la collecte de déchets qui comporte un moyen de fixation d'un sac, un moyen de préhension, apte à prendre deux configurations, un organe de fermeture, apte à maintenir une ouverture du sac, distante du moyen de fixation, en position ouverte ou fermée, et un organe de transmission reliant le moyen de préhension à l'organe de fermeture, apte à asservir la position de l'organe de fermeture à la configuration du moyen de préhension.To do this, provision is made according to the invention a supporting structure for a container for waste collection which comprises a bag attachment means, a gripping means, adapted to take two configurations, a closure member, suitable to maintain an opening of the bag, remote from the fixing means, in the open or closed position, and a transmission member connecting the gripping means to the closure member, adapted to slave the position of the closure member to the configuration gripping means.

Ainsi, c'est le moyen de préhension de la structure porteuse qui commande la position ouverte ou fermée d'une ouverture du sac. Il est donc plus facile de procéder au vidage du sac. Il n'est plus nécessaire d'accrocher le moyen de préhension à un crochet d'un camion et d'ouvrir manuellement le sac pour le vider dans la benne. L'opérateur doit uniquement accrocher la structure de préhension du bac à la grue du camion. La collecte des déchets est donc moins longue, moins fastidieuse et moins coûteuse.Thus, it is the gripping means of the carrier structure which controls the open or closed position of an opening of the bag. It is therefore easier to empty the bag. It is no longer necessary to hook the gripping means to a hook a truck and manually open the bag to empty it into the dumpster. The operator must only hook the gripping structure of the bin to the crane of the truck. The collection of waste is therefore shorter, less tedious and less expensive.

De préférence le moyen de fixation comprend un anneau.Preferably the fixing means comprises a ring.

L'ouverture de remplissage du sac n'est ainsi pas obstruée.The filling opening of the bag is thus not obstructed.

Avantageusement, le moyen de préhension comprend un mécanisme de type pince champignon.Advantageously, the gripping means comprises a mushroom-type mechanism.

Un système de ce type est particulièrement adapté pour commander l'ouverture du sac.A system of this type is particularly suitable for controlling the opening of the bag.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'organe de transmission est apte à passer par une partie centrale du sac.According to one embodiment, the transmission member is adapted to pass through a central portion of the bag.

L'organe est alors protégé des avaries.The organ is then protected from damage.

De préférence, l'organe de transmission est apte à épouser une paroi externe du sac.Preferably, the transmission member is adapted to fit an outer wall of the bag.

Le volume intérieur du sac est alors entièrement dédié à la réception des déchets et le vidage du sac est facilité.The interior volume of the bag is then entirely dedicated to the reception of the waste and the emptying of the bag is facilitated.

Avantageusement, l'organe de transmission comprend une gaine comportant au moins un câble coulissant.Advantageously, the transmission member comprises a sheath comprising at least one sliding cable.

Un tel organe est simple à réaliser et peu coûteux.Such an organ is simple to produce and inexpensive.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'organe de transmission comprend au moins un transmetteur de couple.According to one embodiment, the transmission member comprises at least one torque transmitter.

La commande de l'ouverture du sac est ainsi plus fiable.The control of the opening of the bag is thus more reliable.

De préférence, le moyen de préhension comprend une partie mobile entre deux positions de fin de course, chaque position de fin de course définissant une configuration du moyen de préhension.Preferably, the gripping means comprises a portion movable between two end positions, each end position defining a configuration of the gripping means.

L'asservissement en position de l'organe de fermeture par le moyen de préhension est alors fiabilisé.The enslavement in position of the closure member by the gripping means is then made reliable.

Avantageusement, le moyen de préhension comporte des moyens pour maintenir l'organe de fermeture en position fermée lorsque la structure est à l'état de repos.Advantageously, the gripping means comprises means for keeping the closing member in the closed position when the structure is in the idle state.

On est alors sûr que les déchets ne peuvent s'échapper accidentellement par l'ouverture intempestive de l'ouverture de vidage du sac.It is then certain that the waste can not escape accidentally by the unintentional opening of the emptying opening of the bag.

On prévoit en outre selon l'invention un sac destiné à la collecte de déchets qui comporte deux ouvertures distantes l'une de l'autre et une structure de préhension telle que précédemment décrite.It is further provided according to the invention a bag for waste collection which has two openings spaced apart from each other and a gripping structure as previously described.

Avantageusement, l'organe de fermeture comporte plusieurs câbles reliés, d'une part, en différents points répartis à la périphérie de l'ouverture, d'autre part, à un point d'accrochage commun relié à l'organe de transmission.Advantageously, the closure member comprises a plurality of cables connected, on the one hand, at different points distributed around the periphery of the opening, on the other hand, to a point common hanging connected to the transmission member.

L'usure de l'organe est alors répartie entre plusieurs câbles, celui-ci a donc une durée de vie plus importante.The wear of the member is then distributed between several cables, so it has a longer life.

De préférence, l'organe de fermeture comprend un guide dans lequel au moins un câble est apte à coulisser autour du pourtour d'une ouverture du sac.Preferably, the closure member comprises a guide in which at least one cable is slidable around the periphery of an opening of the bag.

La structure de préhension peut ainsi continuer de fonctionner si une partie du guide est endommagée.The gripping structure can thus continue to function if a portion of the guide is damaged.

On va maintenant décrire à titre d'exemples non limitatifs deux modes de réalisation de l'invention en se référant aux figures suivantes :

  • les figures 1 et 2 sont des vues en perspective d'un sac équipé d'une structure de préhension selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention,
  • les figures 3 et 4 sont des vues analogues aux figures 1 et 2 d'un sac équipé d'une structure de préhension selon un deuxième mode de réalisation et
  • la figure 5 est une vue de dessous du sac de la figure 3.
Two embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of nonlimiting examples with reference to the following figures:
  • the Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views of a bag equipped with a gripping structure according to a first embodiment of the invention,
  • the Figures 3 and 4 are views similar to Figures 1 and 2 of a bag equipped with a gripping structure according to a second embodiment and
  • the figure 5 is a bottom view of the bag of the figure 3 .

On a représenté aux figures 1 et 2 un sac 10, pour la collecte de déchets, équipé d'une structure porteuse 12 selon un premier mode de réalisation.Representatives Figures 1 and 2 a bag 10, for the collection of waste, equipped with a carrier structure 12 according to a first embodiment.

La structure porteuse 12 comporte un anneau métallique 14 auquel le sac 10 est fixé, deux tiges rigides métalliques 16, une pince 18 type champignon connue également sous le nom de pince « Kinshofer » et une gaine 20 en matière plastique. La structure comprend en outre un câble 22, en matériau polymère, dont une extrémité se divise en plusieurs brins de câble 24. Ici, et sans que ce nombre ne soit limitatif vis-à-vis de l'invention, l'extrémité du câble 22 se divise en quatre brins 24.The carrying structure 12 comprises a metal ring 14 to which the bag 10 is attached, two rigid metal rods 16, a clip 18 mushroom type also known as the "Kinshofer" clamp and a sheath 20 of plastic. The structure further comprises a cable 22 of polymer material, one end of which is divided into several strands of cable 24. Here, and without this number being limitative with respect to the invention, the end of the cable 22 is divided into four strands 24.

Le sac 10 porte deux ouvertures 26 et 28, situées chacune à une extrémité selon un axe longitudinal (XX') du sac. La première ouverture 26, circulaire, est destinée à recevoir les déchets jetés par un utilisateur dans le sac 10. La deuxième ouverture 28 se présente sous la forme de plusieurs échancrures en forme de triangles et est destinée au vidage du sac dans une benne d'un camion. Des parties du fond du sac 29, délimitent cette ouverture.The bag 10 carries two openings 26 and 28, each located at one end along a longitudinal axis (XX ') of the bag. The first opening 26, circular, is intended to receive the waste thrown by a user in the bag 10. The second opening 28 is in the form of several triangular-shaped notches and is intended for emptying the bag in a bucket. a truck. Parts of the bottom of the bag 29, define this opening.

Le sac 10 est suspendu à la structure 12 au moyen de l'anneau 14. Cet anneau est relié à la pince 18 de type champignon par l'intermédiaire des deux tiges 16. En outre, la pince 18 est reliée, par son extrémité inférieure à la gaine 20. Cette gaine s'étend selon l'axe longitudinal du sac, depuis la partie inférieure de la pince 18 jusqu'à l'extrémité du câble 22 qui se divise en quatre brins. La gaine 20 et le câble 22 passent par la partie centrale du sac 10.The bag 10 is suspended from the structure 12 by means of the ring 14. This ring is connected to the clip 18 of the mushroom type via the two rods 16. In addition, the clip 18 is connected by its lower end. This sheath extends along the longitudinal axis of the bag, from the lower part of the clamp 18 to the end of the cable 22 which is divided into four strands. The sheath 20 and the cable 22 pass through the central part of the bag 10.

La pince 18 Kinshofer comprend deux membres supérieur 30 et inférieur 32 qui sont ici représentés par des disques parallèles. Le membre supérieur 30, porté par une tige 31, est apte à se mouvoir en translation par rapport au membre inférieur 32. Ce membre inférieur comprend une ouverture centrale à travers laquelle la tige 31 peut coulisser. En outre, la tige 31 est reliée à une extrémité supérieure du câble 22.The Kinshofer clamp 18 comprises two upper and lower limbs 32 which are here represented by parallel disks. The upper limb 30, carried by a rod 31, is able to move in translation relative to the lower limb 32. lower limb comprises a central opening through which the rod 31 can slide. In addition, the rod 31 is connected to an upper end of the cable 22.

Le câble 22 est donc relié par une de ses extrémité au membre supérieur 30 de la pince 18, et s'étend dans la gaine 20 jusqu'à une deuxième extrémité où il est divisé en quatre brins de câble 24. Chaque brin est relié en un point délimitant la périphérie de l'ouverture 28. Ces points sont de préférence régulièrement répartis sur cette périphérie.The cable 22 is thus connected by one end to the upper member 30 of the clamp 18, and extends in the sheath 20 to a second end where it is divided into four strands of cable 24. Each strand is connected in a point delimiting the periphery of the opening 28. These points are preferably regularly distributed over this periphery.

On va maintenant décrire le fonctionnement du sac 10 équipé de la structure 12.We will now describe the operation of the bag 10 equipped with the structure 12.

Lors de la collecte de déchets, le sac 10, porté par la structure 12, est positionné dans un bac apte à les recevoir. Sans actions mécaniques exercées sur la structure 12, le membre supérieur 30 est dans sa position la plus éloignée du membre inférieur 32. La pince 18 comporte pour ce faire des moyens spécifiques pour maintenir le membre supérieur dans cette position la plus éloignée du membre 32. Le sac et la structure sont alors dans leurs états représentés à la figure 2.During the collection of waste, the bag 10, carried by the structure 12, is positioned in a tray adapted to receive them. Without mechanical actions exerted on the structure 12, the upper limb 30 is in its position farthest from the lower limb 32. The clamp 18 comprises for this purpose specific means to maintain the upper limb in this position furthest from the limb 32. The bag and the structure are then in their states represented at figure 2 .

Ainsi, le câble 22 est dans sa position la plus tendue, tout comme les brins de câble 24. Les parties 29 délimitant l'ouverture 28 du fond du sac sont donc repliées. L'ouverture 28 est alors à ce moment fermée.Thus, the cable 22 is in its most stretched position, as the cable strands 24. The portions 29 defining the opening 28 of the bottom of the bag are folded. The opening 28 is then closed.

Lorsqu'un opérateur souhaite procéder au vidage du sac, il positionne le crochet d'une grue d'un camion benne sur la pince 18. La grue soulève alors la pince de la structure 12 sans mouvoir les membres 30 et 32 de la pince. Comme le sac est relié à cette structure par l'intermédiaire des tiges 16 et de l'anneau 14, celui-ci, fermé, est également soulevé. Une fois que le sac 10 est au-dessus de la benne du camion, la grue possède un dispositif pour provoquer une course du membre du membre supérieur 30 par rapport au membre 32 de la pince 18. Le membre 30 se déplace en translation vers le membre 32. Cette course détend le câble 22 relié à la tige 31. Les brins 24 se détendent alors également, tout comme la périphérie de l'ouverture 28. Cette dernière s'ouvre donc sous le poids des déchets et le sac trouve alors sa position décrite à la figure 1. Les parties 29 délimitant l'ouverture 28 sont détendues et l'ouverture 28 n'est plus obstruée. Les déchets s'échappent par cette ouverture et le sac 10 est vidé. Une fois cette opération terminée, on referme le sac 10 en actionnant la pince en sens inverse et on le repositionne dans le bac qui le porte.When an operator wishes to empty the bag, he positions the hook of a crane of a dump truck on the clamp 18. The crane then lifts the clamp of the structure 12 without moving the members 30 and 32 of the clamp. As the bag is connected to this structure via the rods 16 and the ring 14, the latter, closed, is also raised. Once the bag 10 is above the truck body, the crane has a device for causing a stroke of the upper limb member 30 relative to the limb 32 of the clip 18. The limb 30 moves in translation toward the member 32. This stroke relaxes the cable 22 connected to the rod 31. The strands 24 then relax, as the periphery of the opening 28. The latter thus opens under the weight of waste and the bag then finds its position described in figure 1 . The portions 29 defining the opening 28 are relaxed and the opening 28 is no longer obstructed. The waste escapes through this opening and the bag 10 is emptied. Once this operation is completed, the bag 10 is closed by actuating the clamp in the opposite direction and is repositioned in the tray which carries it.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, le moyen de fixation du sac 10 est donc l'anneau 14, le moyen de préhension, la pince champignon 18, l'organe de fermeture comprend les tronçons de câble 24 et l'organe de transmission est le câble 22 entouré par la gaine 20.In this embodiment, the bag attachment means 10 is therefore the ring 14, the gripping means, the mushroom clamp 18, the closure member comprises the cable sections 24 and the transmission member is the cable 22 surrounded by the sheath 20.

Un avantage de ce mode de réalisation de l'invention est que le lixiviat ne peut s'échapper du sac 10 lors du transport de ce dernier. Cet avantage est dû au fait que l'organe de fermeture, ici les tronçons de câble 24, et l'organe de transmission, ici le câble 22 entouré par la gaine 20, sont agencés de manière que les extrémités des parties du fond du sac 29 sont tirées vers le haut par les brins 22 de câble 29 lorsque l'organe de fermeture 24 maintient l'ouverture du sac, distante du moyen de fixation, en position fermée, de sorte que les parties 29 forment des poches capables de retenir les liquides.An advantage of this embodiment of the invention is that the leachate can not escape from the bag 10 during the transport thereof. This advantage is due to the fact that the closure member, here the cable sections 24, and the transmission member, here the cable 22 surrounded by the sheath 20, are arranged so that the ends of the bottom portions of the bag 29 are pulled upwards by the strands 22 of cable 29 when the closure member 24 maintains the opening of the bag, remote from the fastening means, in the closed position, so that the portions 29 form pockets capable of retaining the liquids.

L'ouverture 28 ne laisse ainsi plus passer le lixiviat, qui demeure dans le sac.The opening 28 thus no longer allows the leachate, which remains in the bag.

On va maintenant décrire, en références aux figures 3 à 5, l'invention selon le deuxième mode de réalisation. Seules les différences avec le précédent mode vont être indiquées.We will now describe, in reference to Figures 3 to 5 , the invention according to the second embodiment. Only the differences with the previous mode will be indicated.

L'invention selon ce mode de réalisation fonctionne de manière analogue au précédent mode.The invention according to this embodiment operates in a similar manner to the previous mode.

En revanche, l'organe de transmission comprend ici deux gaines 120 épousant les parois externes du sac 10. L'organe de fermeture comprend un guide constitué par des passants 129 disposés régulièrement sur la paroi externe du sac autour de l'ouverture 128. Les passants 129 peuvent réceptionner un ou plusieurs câbles. Chaque câble 122 s'étend dans une gaine 120, parcourt tous les passants 129 du guide, et revient par la même gaine 120 vers la tige 31. Ainsi, dans ce mode de réalisation, les deux extrémités du câble 122 se retrouvent au même point. Ici, on a disposé deux câbles 122, un pour chaque gaine 120.On the other hand, the transmission member here comprises two sheaths 120 conforming to the outer walls of the bag 10. The closure member comprises a guide constituted by loops 129 arranged regularly on the outer wall of the bag around the opening 128. passers 129 can receive one or more cables. Each cable 122 extends in a sheath 120, traverses all the loops 129 of the guide, and returns through the same sheath 120 to the rod 31. Thus, in this embodiment, the two ends of the cable 122 are found at the same point . Here, two cables 122 have been arranged, one for each sheath 120.

Les gaines 120 sont positionnées sur la surface externe du sac 10 symétriquement par rapport à l'axe (XX').The sheaths 120 are positioned on the outer surface of the bag 10 symmetrically with respect to the axis (XX ').

Selon une variante du présent mode de réalisation, chaque câble 122 passe à travers une gaine 120, une partie du guide 129 formant un demi-cercle et enfin traverse la deuxième gaine 120.According to a variant of the present embodiment, each cable 122 passes through a sheath 120, a portion of the guide 129 forming a semicircle and finally passes through the second sheath 120.

Comme illustré à la figure 4, lorsque le membre inférieur 30 de la pince 18 est translaté et s'éloigne du membre inférieur 32, les portions des câbles 122 autour des guides 129 coulissent et se rapprochent de l'axe (XX'). Les passants 129 se rapprochent donc également de l'axe (XX') et comme les parties du sac auxquelles ils sont attachés sont solidaires des passants, ces parties se rapprochent selon le même mouvement. Ainsi, ces parties de sac viennent obstruer l'ouverture 128 par étranglement.As illustrated in figure 4 when the lower limb 30 of the gripper 18 is translated and moves away from the lower limb 32, the portions of the cables 122 around the guides 129 slide and move closer to the axis (XX '). The passers 129 are therefore also close to the axis (XX ') and as the parts of the bag to which they are attached are integral with the passers-by, these parts come together in the same movement. Thus, these bag parts obstruct the opening 128 by throttling.

Bien entendu, on pourra apporter à l'invention de nombreuses modifications sans sortir du cadre de celle-ci.Of course, we can bring to the invention many changes without departing from the scope thereof.

Les types des sacs utilisés ainsi que le type de déchets contenus ne sont, par exemple, pas des caractéristiques limitatives de l'invention.The types of bags used and the type of waste contained are, for example, not limiting features of the invention.

Le nombre, le matériau et le type de câbles ou de gaines ne sont également pas limitatifs vis-à-vis de l'invention.The number, material and type of cables or sheaths are also not restrictive vis-à-vis the invention.

On pourra aussi varier la disposition des gaines autour du sac ou dans celui-ci.It will also be possible to vary the arrangement of the sheaths around the bag or in the latter.

De même, on pourra utiliser d'autres dispositifs qu'un anneau pour fixer le sac au moyen de préhension.Likewise, it will be possible to use other devices than a ring to fix the bag by means of gripping.
