Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a waste container according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention is particularly suitable to be applied to so-called containers for the collection of waste, of the type normally positioned at the side of roads, squares or other public places to allow the introduction of waste by the citizens.
  • the known containers of the aforementioned type essentially comprise a containment tank defining at least one collecting compartment for wastes and having an upper covering element having one or more doors operable by a user.
  • the covering element comprises two hinged doors along the respective opposite sides of a bridge beam shaped as an inverted "U", having its terminal arms hinged to the respectively opposite sides of the tank.
  • the bridge beam is provided to interact with the gripping and tilting devices typically installed on vehicles used for the waste collection service, which perform the emptying of the containers by means of a gripping and tilting action in conjunction with the opening of the covering element.
  • each of the doors is suitable to be opened by means of the lifting action exerted manually by the user on the door itself. Once the transfer operation is complete, the user releases the door that is repositioned in the closing condition by a downward movement by gravity slowed by suitable cushioning devices.
  • At least one of the doors is also suitably connected to a control pedal hinged to the base of the tank, so as to allow the opening of the door itself by means of a thrust action exerted by the user on the control pedal. In this way the transfer of heavy and/or bulky waste, which require the use of both hands, is facilitated.
  • the emptying operation typically takes place by means of an automatic cycle activated by a driver, which controls the operating cycle from the driving seat of the waste collection vehicle.
  • the electrohydraulic emptying device causes a crushing action between the door and the tank when it brings them in mutual rotation, and then attempts to compress the foreign body located therebetween.
  • the foreign body falls to the ground or inside the container, in other cases causes a rupture of the door and/or a damage of the tank.
  • overloads and abnormal stress arise on the components of the container and the gripping and tilting device installed on the vehicle.
  • US_2,456,840 A herein referred as the closest prior art reference, discloses a waste container according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein an elongated rod transmits a thrust action for either opening and closing a closure lid, respectively, in response to repeated actions on a drive pedal.
  • the closure lid rests in the open condition by its own, due to gravity force.
  • Further examples of known waste containers are provided by EP 0386964 A1 and EP 1033334 A1 .
  • EP 0386964 A1 discloses a waste container according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the limits of the known art as set forth above. In particular, it is an object of the invention to reduce or eliminate the potential that a container will be left with the door locked in the opening condition. It is a further object of the invention to introduce technical solutions that can significantly eliminate the risk of damaging the containers or the equipment used for their emptying.
  • the applicant considers advantageous to associate with the container door a locking device, which is easily activated in cases of needs, to keep the door in the lifting condition, so as to discourage contrived tampering actions to lock the doors of the containers in an opening condition.
  • the object of the present invention is a waste container according to appended claim 1.
  • the locking device is selectively activatable in consequence of an action of lifting the door away from the containment tank, over the opening condition.
  • the present container may also have one or more of the following preferred characteristics.
  • the locking device comprises a coupling element carried by an oscillating support hinged with respect to the tank and movable with respect to the door for causing disengagement of the coupling element by an engagement seat carried by the door.
  • the locking of the door is therefore suitable to be achieved by a device that is structurally simple, which can be manufactured at low costs and that can be easily integrated also in other traditional bins or containers.
  • the coupling element is movable, in response to oscillation of the oscillating support, between an off condition in which it is moved away from the engagement seat and a activation condition in which it is able to engage the engagement seat for retaining the door in the opening condition.
  • the locking device further comprises resilient means acting on the oscillating support for pushing the coupling element towards the activation condition.
  • the coupling element mechanically interferes with the engagement seat according to a linear extent less than 3mm along the movement direction of the coupling element.
  • the substantially unstable balance condition allows the release of the system, and the consequent repositioning of the door in the closing condition following a minimum effort by the user, or also as a result of oscillations occasionally induced to the container, for example due to the wind or the interaction of users during subsequent transfer actions, and in any case during the taking and the lifting of the container upon the action of automatic emptying devices. It thus ensures that the door is led back into the closing condition during the emptying operation.
  • the coupling element has a working surface which, during movement of the door between the closing condition and opening condition, interacts in a sliding relationship against a shaped edge presented by the door in the proximity of the engagement seat.
  • one control pedal is preferably provided, which is oscillatably engaged to the containment tank and operable to determine movement of the door from the closing condition to the opening condition by at least one primary transmission element.
  • one auxiliary transmission member is preferably provided, which is operatively interposed between the control pedal and said oscillating support for disengaging said coupling element from the engagement seat in response to operation of the control pedal.
  • the auxiliary drive member causes disengagement of the coupling element from the engagement seat in response to operation of the control pedal according to a stroke less than that required to bring the door in the opening condition.
  • said oscillating support and said door are hinged to a bridging element oscillatably hinged to the side walls respectively opposite of the tank.
  • numeral 1 generally refers to a container for the collection of waste according to the present invention.
  • the container 1 made in the form of a bilateral symmetrical garbage container, comprises a containment tank 2 that forms internally a collection space 3 for wastes, for example municipal solid waste.
  • the containment tank 2 is provided at the bottom with a plurality of bearing elements 2a, some of which may include rollers, for the stable support of the container on the ground.
  • the containment tank 2 is made for example of metallic material and has a substantially parallelepiped, box-shaped configuration, which is preferably countersunk starting from a bottom wall 4. At the bottom wall 4 there are two respectively opposite front walls 5, and two side walls 6 carrying respective gripping elements 7, operatively engageable by devices (of a substantially known type) for automatic gripping and emptying the container 1, usually mounted on a waste collection vehicle.
  • the gripping elements 7 comprise pins projecting laterally from the respective side walls 6, in correspondence of a vertical plane of symmetry of the container 1.
  • the tank 2 has at the top an upper opening 8 for waste transfer, accessible to the users for the introduction of waste into the collection space 3.
  • the aforementioned covering element 9 comprises two doors 10 hinged according to respective pivotal axes X to the opposite sides of a bridging element 11 arranged at the top.
  • the bridging element 11 preferably comprises a cross member 12 from the opposite ends of which two arms 13 extend, which are each pivoted to one of the side walls 6 of the containment tank 2, according to a common oscillation axis Y.
  • Suitable resilient means operate on the arms 13 so as to maintain a rest condition in which the cross member 12 extends in a longitudinal central plane of the containment tank 2, superiorly closed by the doors 10, preferably acting in abutting relation on the upper edges of the front walls 5.
  • each of the doors 10 or at least one of them is suitable to be manually lifted around its own pivot axis X from a closing condition, in which it is approached to the containment tank 2 to occlude the collection space 3, until reaching an opening condition in which it is raised with respect to the containment tank 2 to enable the introduction of waste into the collection space 3.
  • the lifting of at least one of the doors 10 can be obtained, instead of or in addition to direct manual action, via at least one control pedal 14, oscillatably engaged in proximity of the bottom wall 4 of the containment tank 2.
  • the control pedal 14 extends along one of the front walls 5 and is preferably pivoted with respect to the side walls 6 in the vicinity of the longitudinal central plane of the containment tank 2.
  • At least a first tie rod 15 or another transmission member, for example in the form of cable, has a first end 15a engaged to the control pedal 14 in the vicinity of the pivot axis Z of the same, and a second end 15b secured to one of the doors 10, for example on an attachment plate 16 projecting from the door 10 beyond the pivot axis X of the same on the cross member 12.
  • the first rod 15 causes the progressive lifting of the door 10.
  • the door 10 reaches the opening condition in correspondence of the maximum lowering stroke of the control pedal 14.
  • Two first tie rods can be provided, operating on respective opposite sides of the containment tank 2 between the control pedal 14 and the respective attachment plates 16 placed on opposite sides of the respective door 10.
  • the emptying of the container 1 takes place with an action of overturning of the same about the oscillation axis Y. Simultaneously with this action, the covering element 9 is angularly rotated about the oscillation axis Y to slide the doors 10 with respect to the containment tank 2 so as to facilitate waste discharge.
  • the use of the device 1 on containers of different type for example having only one door 10 and for example pivoted along an axis X next to the edge of the tank 2, is not to be excluded.
  • the covering element 9 is also associated to at least one locking device 17, which can be selectively activated when necessary, for retaining at least one of the doors 10 in the opening condition.
  • the locking device 17 is selectively activatable in consequence of an action of lifting the door 10 away from the containment tank 2, beyond the opening condition.
  • the locking device 17 preferably comprises an oscillating support 18, operatively hinged with respect to the containment tank 2, and cooperating with an engagement seat 19 carried by the respective door 10, for example in correspondence of the attachment plate 16.
  • the oscillating support 18 is made in form of plate-shaped bracket.
  • the oscillating support 18 is rotatably hinged along one of the arms 13 of the bridging element 11, on the side facing the longitudinal central plane of the container, and preferably is movable according to angular oscillations with respect to the door 10 about its own pivot axis N.
  • the oscillating support 18 is fitted integrally with a coupling element 20 which, by effect of the angular oscillations carried out in either direction from the oscillating support 18 about its own pivot axis N, is movable between an off condition, in which it is moved away from the engagement seat 19, and a triggering condition, in which it lends itself to engage in the engagement seat 19 to retain the door 10 in the opening condition.
  • a return spring 21 or other resilient means operate on the oscillating support 18 to constantly push the coupling element 20 toward the activation condition.
  • the coupling element 20 is made in the form of a plate having a working surface 20a that, during the movement of the door 10 between the closing condition and the opening condition, lends itself to interact in a sliding relationship against a shaped edge 16a presented by attachment plate 16.
  • the shaped edge 16a therefore lends itself to act as a cam against the coupling element 20 so as to determine, during the lifting of the door 10, the rotation of the oscillating support 18, in contrast with the return spring 21.
  • the engagement seat 19 is preferably formed along said shaped edge 16a. When the engagement seat 19 arrives in correspondence of the coupling element 20, the action of the return spring 21 determines the mutual engagement.
  • the coupling element 20 engages the engagement seat 19 substantially in a condition of unstable equilibrium.
  • the coupling element 20 mechanically interferes with the engagement seat 19 according to a linear extent indicated by dimension L in Figure 8 , less than about 3 mm along the movement direction of the coupling element 20. It thus becomes possible to determine the disengagement of the engagement seat 19 and the consequent movement of the door 10 towards the closing condition even following shaking of the waste container and/or of said door 10.
  • At least one auxiliary drive member 22 can be operatively interposed between the control pedal 14 and the oscillating support 18.
  • the auxiliary drive member 22 may comprise a cable or other type of tie rod, having a first end 22a engaged to the control pedal 14 in the vicinity of the pivot axis Z of the same, and a second end 15b secured to the oscillating support 18.
  • the pivot axis N of the oscillating support 18 is preferably placed in an intermediate position between the coupling element 20 and the second end 15b of the auxiliary drive member 22.
  • the auxiliary drive member 22 is therefore suitable to disengage the coupling element 20 from the engagement seat 19 following the operation of the control pedal 14.
  • the waste container 1 is suitable to be used to implement waste delivery in a manner similar to traditional containers.
  • the user has the possibility to raise to at least one of the doors 10 manually and/or with the aid of the control pedal 14 to the opening condition, in order to implement waste delivery within the collection space 3.
  • the door 10 falls by gravity towards the closing condition, suitably slowed by cushioning devices not shown as known. Any elastic systems can support the resurgence of the control pedal 14 up to its starting position. Simultaneously, the return spring 21 returns the coupling element 20 towards the insertion condition. However, the coupling element 20 can not engage in the engagement seat 19 because in the meantime the door 10 has already fallen towards the closing condition.
  • the door 10 can then be released and remain locked in the opening condition, in order to allow repeated operations of transfer for the introduction of large amounts of waste without having to lift the door 10 multiple times.
  • the disengagement of the engagement seat 19 requires a minimum displacement of the coupling element 20 from its coupling condition, still lower than the required displacement for the attachment plate 16 to bring the door 10 from the closing condition to the opening condition.
  • the auxiliary drive member 22 may therefore cause the disengagement of the coupling element 20 from the engagement seat 19 in response to the operation of the control pedal 14 according to a very short stroke or in any case less than that required to bring the door 10 in the opening condition. More in particular, a slight touch of the control pedal 14 can be advantageously sufficient to determine unlocking of the door 10 from the opening condition. This condition can encourage closure of the door 10 even by people who are less likely to do so when using traditional containers.
  • the condition of precarious balance with which the insertion of the coupling element 20 in the engagement seat 19 occurs for the purposes of locking door 10 in an opening condition allows the spontaneous closure of the door 10 even following vibrations or occasional stress induced to the container 1 when it is put on the ground or during the operation of withdrawal from the ground through the action of gripping and emptying devices typically installed on vehicles used for the waste collection service.
