Definitions
- the present invention relates to a piece of equipment for the containment of material, in particular for waste collection or the like.
- the patent EP 2432713 describes a piece of equipment for the differentiated waste collection which comprises a vehicle movable on wheels having a bearing frame able to support a multi-tank structure having first actuator means able to allow the self-support relative to the ground and second actuator means able to allow the rotation of each tank for the emptying of the same within respective collection containers.
- the multi-tank structure described by EP 2432713 through the rotation of each tank does not allow to unload the material contained in the same within any type of collection container, since the latter generally vary in height.
- the tanks described in EP 2432713 envisage the presence of a door for the introduction of the material placed on the upper face of these, thus making it difficult to introduce the material by disabled persons.
- the main aim of the present invention is to provide a piece of equipment for the containment of material which allows to convey the material contained of the relative containers within any collecting vessel, whatever the height of the same.
- one object of the present invention is to provide a piece of equipment that is accessible in an easy manner even by disabled persons.
- Another object of the present invention is to facilitate the release of the material contained in the collection containers.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a piece of equipment for the containment of material which allows to overcome the mentioned drawbacks of the prior art within the ambit of a simple, rational, easy, effective to use and affordable solution.
- Figure 1 is an axonometric view of a piece of equipment according to the invention with the bearing structure in a lifted position;
- Figure 2 is an axonometric view of the equipment of Figure 1 with the bearing structure in lowered position with the doors for the introduction of the material in open configuration;
- Figure 3 is a front axonometric view of the equipment of Figure 1 with the bearing structure in lowered configuration and a container in unloading position;
- Figure 4 is a rear axonometric view of the equipment of Figure 3;
- Figure 5 is an axonometric view of the equipment of Figure 4 with the door for the release of the material in open configuration.
- Embodiments of the Invention With particular reference to such illustrations, globally indicated with reference number 1 is a piece of equipment for the containment of material, particularly waste, waste materials and the like.
- the equipment 1 comprises a bearing structure 2 which can be transported by means of a vehicle movable on wheels and which supports a plurality of containers 3 for the collection of material.
- the equipment 1 comprises lifting means 4 of the bearing structure 2.
- the lifting means 4 are operable to move the bearing structure 2 between a lowered position, wherein the containers 3 are accessible by private and/or commercial users to introduce the material within the same, and a lifted position, wherein the bearing structure 2 can be mountable onto and demountable from a vehicle movable on wheels suitable for its transport.
- the lifting means 4 are the type of fluid-operated actuators.
- the equipment 1 comprises simultaneous lifting and tilting means 5 of each container 3.
- bearing structure 2 More in detail, between the bearing structure 2 and each container 3 are placed relative lifting and tilting means 5.
- These means 5 are therefore able to move the relative container 3 between a loading position, wherein it is placed resting on the bearing structure 2, and an unloading position, wherein it is lifted and rotated with respect to the loading position so as to allow the release of the material contained inside.
- the means 5 comprise at least a movement scissor 20 placed between the bearing structure 2 and a relative container 3, which is movable to bring the container itself from the loading to the unloading configuration and vice versa. More in detail, the scissors 20 are movable between a closed configuration, which corresponds to the loading configuration of the container 3, and an open configuration, which corresponds to the unloading configuration of the container itself.
- the scissors 20 comprise at least a first lever 21 and at least a second lever 22 hinged to each other and having a different length.
- the different length of the levers 21 and 22 allows to obtain the simultaneous lifting and tilting of the containers 3.
- the relative container 3 is lifted to a higher height than that corresponding to the loading position, and it is simultaneously tilted by effect of the rotation due to the different length of the levers 21 and 22.
- further scissors 23 comprising two further levers 24 substantially having the same length and hinged at a median area of their longitudinal extension.
- the lifting and tilting means 5 comprise actuation means 25 of the displacement of the scissors 20 from the closed configuration to the open configuration and vice versa.
- the actuation means 25 are, e.g., the type of a fluid-operated actuator having the body associated with the bearing structure 2 and the relative piston associated with the scissors 20.
- Each container 3 defines a relative containment volume 6 delimited by a bottom wall 3a, a front wall 3b and a rear wall 3c opposite to each other, a pair of side walls 3d and an upper wall 3e.
- the front wall 3b and the rear wall 3c are accessible from the outside, while the side walls 3d are, with the containers 3 in the loading position, arranged facing to the side walls 3d of the contiguous containers 3 or to the perimeter walls 2a of the bearing structure 2.
- At least one of the containers 3 comprises at least a first door 7 for the introduction of the material within the containment volume defined on the front wall 3b.
- the first door 7 is of the horizontally pivoted type.
- a containment element 7a which is arranged transversely to the first door itself when this is in the open position, and able to limit the amount of material which can be introduced within the relative containment volume 6.
- At least one container 3 comprises at least a second door 8 for the introduction of the material within the relative containment volume 6 which is defined on the upper wall 3e of the container itself.
- the first door 7 is therefore accessible by any user, whatever its height, while the second door 8 is accessible from above and is preferably designed for use by the operators of the sector.
- At least one of the containers 3 comprises opening means 9, manually operable by the user, of at least one of the first and the second door 7 and 8.
- the opening means 9 are, e.g., the type of a pedal associated with a relative door 7, 8 by means of a lever mechanism.
- each container 3 has both the first and the second door 7 and 8.
- each container 3 comprises a relative pedal 9 to command the opening of the corresponding second door 8.
- At least one of the containers 3 also comprises a third door 10 for the release of the material contained within the relative containment volume 6 and defined on the rear wall 3c.
- the third door 10 is defined at the lower portion of the rear wall 3c and, in open position, is arranged substantially parallel to the relative bottom wall 3 a to define its extension, so as to facilitate the conveying and direction of the material outwards.
- Command means 11 e.g. of the fluid-operated type, are provided of the third door 10.
- the lifting and tilting means 5 are able to rotate the relative container 3 downwards from the side of the third door 10, so as to facilitate the release of the material contained within the same.
- At least one container 3 are positioned compacting means 12 of the material arranged within the relative containment volume 6.
- the presence and operation of the compacting means 12 is independent both of that of the lifting means 4 and of the lifting and tilting means 5 of the containers 3.
- the compacting means 12 comprise at least a compacting element 13 movable within the relative containment volume 6.
- the compacting element 13 is associated movable in rotation with the side walls 3d of the relative container 3, therefore performing an oscillatory movement within the containment volume 6, close to and away from the corresponding third door 10.
- Actuator means 14 are also provided able to move in rotation the compacting element 13 within the relative containment volume 6.
- the compacting element 13 divides the relative containment volume 6 into two chambers, of which a first chamber 6a communicating with the first and/or second door 7, 8 and a second chamber 6b communicating with the third door 10.
- the compacting element 13 also comprises an opening 15 that connects the first and the second chamber 6a and 6b and the compacting means 12 comprise a closing element 16 of the opening itself associated with the compacting element 13.
- the closing element 16 is movable to open/close the opening 15 so as to put in communication/isolate the chambers 6a and 6b and, consequently, allow/prevent the passage of the material introduced from the first chamber 6a to the second chamber 6b.
- the closing element 16 is the type of a shutter movable in translation along a sliding direction and movable by an actuator (not shown in the illustrations).
- the piece of equipment 1 comprises at least a rechargeable battery (not shown in the illustrations), which is operatively connected to at least an electrical user point, such as the drive motors of the actuators able to command the opening of the third doors 10 and of the closing elements 16, and at least a solar panel (also not shown in the illustrations), operatively connected to the rechargeable battery.
- a rechargeable battery not shown in the illustrations
- an electrical user point such as the drive motors of the actuators able to command the opening of the third doors 10 and of the closing elements 16
- at least a solar panel also not shown in the illustrations
- the equipment 1 can also have means for detecting the weight and/or volume of the material contained within the containers 3.
- the equipment 1 comprises means for identifying the position of the equipment itself during its transport such as, e.g., at least a GPS transmitter operatively connected to a relative GPS receiver positioned remotely.
- the equipment 1 is arranged in lifted position, by operating the lifting means 4, to allow its transport by means of a vehicle movable on wheels.
- the equipment 1 Once the equipment 1 has been unloaded from the relative movable vehicle, it is brought to the lowered position.
- users and/or specialized staff may introduce the material within the relative containers through the first and/or second door 7 and 8.
- users such as private or disabled persons can introduce the material by opening the first door 7 of the containers 3, whereas the specialized staff can easily open the second door 8, e.g. by means of the pedal 9 in the embodiment shown in the illustrations.
- the material introduced within the containment volume 6 of the relative container 3 collects within the first chamber 6a and then moves to the second chamber 6b through the opening 15, the closing element 16 being in the open position.
- the compacting means 12 are operated.
- closing element 16 is lowered so as to obstruct the opening 15 and the compacting element 13 is made to rotate.
- the relative lifting and tilting means 5 are operated, which lift the container itself bringing it to the unloading position, in which it is located at a greater height than that reached in the loading position and in which it is tilted from the side of the relative third door 10.
- the third door 10 is then brought to the open position so as to allow the release of the material contained within the relative container 3 and its conveying within a relative collecting vessel.
- the compacting means 12 To facilitate the release of the material it is possible to operate the compacting means 12 again so as to push the material contained in the second chamber 6b to the outside. Once the containment volume 6 has been emptied, the relative container 3 is brought back to the loading position.
- the equipment forming the subject of the present invention moreover, thanks to the presence of two doors arranged on two different walls of the containers allows the easy introduction of the material within the containers by any user. Moreover, the presence of the compacting means arranged within the containers allows to improve the loading capacity as well as to facilitate the release to the outside of the material contained in them.
