Description

Description:

Collecting container and collecting device

for residual and / or recyclables

The invention relates to a collecting container for residual and / or valuable materials, wherein the container has a bottom of the container, according to the preamble of claim 1 and a collecting device with a pit and a collecting container according to the preamble of claim 1 1 and a pit made of particular finished parts the preamble of claim 17.

It is known to hold collecting containers, for example, with four lower-side rollers or with two lower-side rollers and two opposite fixed supports and a volume of 1, 1 cbm or more in a lying under ambient level, completely or partially lowered into a pit position. The collection container for emptying j edoch must first be raised - either via arranged in the pit lifting means with its own power supply or via an energy pickup from a disposal vehicle. Both is structurally complex, prone to failure in operation and extends the time to be provided for the container emptying periods.

It is also known to lift collecting containers via a vehicle-mounted crane from the recessed pit and then to convey the contents into the truck by opening the container bottom. For this, however, special vehicles are required which otherwise do not fulfill any other purpose in the collection and are wholly unsuitable for waste collection containers from 601 to 1 1001 according to DIN EN 840. Such systems are thus very expensive and inefficient. The opening at the bottom of the container also leads to leaks, which lead to contamination both in the lifting process and in the movement to the refuse collection vehicle. Residues in the concrete shaft are also a consequence and associated with a high cleaning effort.

DE 20 2005 006 468 U l shows a collecting container, which can be held partly below an environmental level, which can be lifted out of a container receiving shaft surrounding it by way of a top-side, mushroom-type lifting means. A turning of the downwardly expanding collecting container is not possible. This must therefore be lifted very high by a crane and emptied down through its bottom. This is unwieldy and can not be done with standard disposal vehicles.

DE 602 20 758 T2 shows a completely below the environmental levels held underground container, which can be raised via a collar embracing its upper edges. The collar has a rectangular shape and is carried by a disposal vehicle and placed around the upper edge of the container. This threading is time consuming and can only be used for this particular container size and size. The applications of the disposal vehicle are also very limited here. The invention is based on the problem of achieving an improvement here. The invention solves this problem by a collecting container with the features of claim 1, a collecting device with the features of claim 1 1 and a receiving pit with the features of claim 17. Further advantageous embodiments is on the claims 2 to 10, 12 to 16 and 1 8 referenced.

Characterized in that the collecting container is provided on the outside with a lying in a lying above the container bottom level with a sprawling frame, a new receiving position can be created for the sump in which this is partially in a receiving pit below the ambient level and with its upper, above lying above this frame lying areas above the ambient level. This creates a semi-underground position of the collecting container in which a standard container which can otherwise also be used for a normal position above the ambient level can be used. Conveniently, the plane of the frame is inclined relative to the plane of the container bottom, so that an inclination of the collecting container relative to the ambient level is possible and on the one hand, the abutment for lifting the container are well accessible well above the ambient level, on the other hand at least one chute in less, easily accessible Height is high and therefore the container can be easily filled - even for example, wheelchair users or children. In order to achieve these goals, the plane of the frame is favorably inclined by at least 20 ° with respect to the container bottom, in particular by more than 40 °.

Under the level of the container bottom is understood in a plane lying container bottom whose extension plane. If, when the container is supported on a horizontal surface, the container bottom is wholly or partially oblique to this surface, it is meant a plane which is parallel to the outer horizontal surface.

In the lowered position then the frame can be horizontally aligned with the ambient level, so that the container thereby receives a corresponding inclination of its axis relative to the ambient level.

In particular, the collecting container is arranged so that the sprawling frame is below one or more for gripping the container arranged on this abutment or at least below the inlet openings in receptacles for lifting tools of a disposal vehicle. These abutments are then available for an approaching disposal vehicle without the collecting container would have to be raised first. In the pit, therefore, no device for lifting the container must be present, which significantly reduces the design effort and operating costs. A special vehicle is also unnecessary.

Particularly advantageously, the collecting container is designed according to DIN EN 840 with an internal volume of 1, 1 cbm or more and includes laterally extending pin as an abutment for detection by vehicle-side forks. For emptying then, for example, a standard vehicle such as a front or Side loader can be used, which can reach with his forks, the lateral, accessible at any time pins of the collection container, for example by the forks in channel-like receptacles through front inlet openings. This vehicle can be used in the same way for the emptying of above-ground containers, without any conversion measures would be required.

Likewise, a lifting of the collecting container via a comb strip is possible, which can also be a corresponding front collar of the collecting container accessible above the ambient level. This type of lifting can also be done by a standard vehicle. The collection container may also be a standard container on which only one or two covers are changed and the frame is attached. The conversion is therefore simple and inexpensive. The outreach frame can be arranged below one or more openings (s) serving for filling the container as well as below one or more openings (s) serving for emptying the container. A simple filling is in particular achievable if the opening (s) serving to fill the container is or are arranged on a swivel cover for emptying the container. For example, the openings may then be accessible from the opposite side of the discharge opening.

D he expansive frame may be in particular a support frame for supporting the container on an outer abutment and this include, for example, angled metallic profiles. Such a frame can be supported in a provided for filling position of the collecting container on an outer, a receiving pit surrounding the container support frame and rest on this. Both the frame of the container and the outer support frame can be formed by steel profiles.

Additionally or alternatively, the frame can fulfill a sealing function with respect to the surrounding outer frame part.

It is variable, how much percent of the weight of the container over the frame and how much are supported by a bottom-side support of the container in the pit. Thus, the container may be completely suspended over the frame or completely supported by the bottom support. Also, any intermediate distribution is possible. A certain pressure over the frame is helpful to achieve a good sealing function.

With the additionally claimed collecting device, which comprises a pit lowered in relation to an environmental level and a collecting container which can be held obliquely in relation to the horizontal, the o. G. semi-lowered container position possible, yet a low-level filling is easily possible.

A separate lid for the pit is dispensable. In the upper area, only the cover which is present anyway on the collecting container can form the upper cover. Even so, the cost of creating a pit is significantly reduced.

In particular, with the above-mentioned advantages in the lowered position of the container are the abutments or at least the Inlets in channel-like receptacles in which the abutments are located, which can be gripped by lifting tools of a disposal vehicle, above the ambient level.

A simple production of such a pit is possible if this is formed from several precast concrete parts. The pit must then not be cast on site, but may be prefabricated, so that the assembly is simple and requires only a crane truck with low capacity. In particular, such a precast concrete element forms as an integral unit at the same time the bottom and a side wall forming part of the pit.

To avoid that during the emptying of the container people or animals can plunge into the pit, a movable safety platform is conveniently d ort arranged, which is biased in a d the opening by a raised collecting container closing sense. Simply lifting the container for emptying automatically closes the safety platform. In particular, it is then approximately flush with the ambient level.

Structurally simple, the safety platform comprises a pivoting flap, which is pivotable down when lowering the container by the weight and, for example, with a tare weight of the container of about 150 kg is biased. The container can then slide down from the emptying on the pivoting flap when it settles down and reach its end position on end stops set there.

A receiving pit, which is lowered abge compared to an ambient level and which includes an angled piece in the lower part, in the mounted position at an angle to the horizontal Standing side wall and forms an angle to the horizontal floor, is claimed separately and separately traded in their training of several precast concrete parts. In particular, a peripheral frame part is placed on the finished parts at the level of the ambient level as the upper termination, which is suitable for supporting a container-side frame.

The upper end of the pit can be increased by a few centimeters from the environment, to facilitate a water flow to the outside.

Further advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from an illustrated in the drawing and described below embodiment of the subject invention.

A collecting container 1, 2 according to the invention serves to receive residual and / or valuable materials such as household waste, industrial waste, residual materials, paper, glasses, biowaste, slags or other additives or similar materials.

FIG. 1 shows such a collecting container 1 with a receiving volume of, for example, 1, 1 cbm or 2, 4 cbm or more up to approximately 5 cbm.

The collecting container 1 according to FIG. 1 has on the underside a container bottom 3 which delimits the interior space at the bottom and which additionally serves as a holder for these wheels and / or rollers 4 supporting an outer standing surface S. Here two wheels or rollers 4 are provided, opposite two fixed supports 5 are arranged on the container bottom 3. An education with four wheels in the vicinity of the corners of the bottom 3 is alternatively possible. The container bottom 3 runs here parallel to an outer base, ie horizontally, provided it is held on a horizontal outer base. Even with a partial oblique formation of the container bottom 3, its bottom plane would be defined as parallel to the outer standing surface.

The collecting container 1, 2 may consist entirely of plastic or metal. He points out here in plan view about right- square outline shape and can easily expand to the top. Here is a metallic container 1 is shown.

The collecting container 1 further comprises on the outside in a lying above the container bottom 3 level a continuous or interrupted, Ausgreifenden frame 9, mounted from a front side 6 on the front sides 7 to a rear side 8 of the container 1 inclined towards the plane of the container bottom 3 is. The inclination of the frame 9 is therefore clearly visible in view of the end faces 7 (Figure 12). By contrast, in a view from the front or from behind, a horizontally extending frame section is visible (FIG. 4, FIG. 11).

In this case, according to the drawing, the plane E of the frame 9 is inclined by at least 20 ° relative to the container bottom 3, in particular by more than 40 °. Here, an angle of about 45 ° of the frame plane E is provided relative to the container bottom 3. In a metallic container 1, the frame 9 may be welded. Also riveting, screwing or the like is possible. Here, the frame 9 is circumferential and formed with angled plates, so that a high load capacity can be expended over it.

The frame 9 can circulate the collecting container 1 on its front side 6, the end faces 7 and the back 8 completely without interruption or also have one or more interruptions and yet at least partially support the collecting container 1. The laterally outwardly extending frame 9 is held below one or more for filling the container serving opening (s) 10 at the collecting container 1. Here, for example, three filling openings 10 are provided next to one another (FIG. 10), which in FIG lowered and described in more detail below position of the collecting container 1 in any case above the frame 9 and the ambient level 1 1 and are easily accessible. In particular, these filling openings 10 are less than one meter above the ambient level 1 1 and are therefore also easily accessible to children or wheelchair users.

Fractional separation may be possible by opening different filling openings 10 into different compartments of the collecting container 1, i. H. , the system can also be used according to the multi-chamber principle.

The extended frame 9 is also held below one or more opening (s) for emptying the container on the container 1. Here, a pivot cover 12 is provided for emptying, on which the filling openings 10 are arranged for filling by the pivot cover 12 at the same time also a carrier with this movable superstructure 13 for receiving d he filling openings 10. A manual opening possibility d it pivot cover 12 can be prevented by a Verriegelbarkeit except for the emptying.

D he collecting container 1 here also has two lateral abutment 14, which are held in channel-like receptacles 24 of the container 1. The receptacles 24 are formed approximately by a j each at the end face 7 arranged and recessed groove, which is overlapped on the outside by a metal plate, so that the receptacles 24 are channel-like and comprise an open inlet opening 23 on the front side 6 of the container 1.

In this case, the outreach frame 9 is below one or more arranged to grip the container at this abutment 14 for lifting tools 15 of a disposal vehicle or at least below the inlet opening (s) 23 arranged in the receptacle (s) 24, as is apparent in Figure 1. As an abutment 14 here end-side spigot 16 are provided which can be raised via engaging in the receptacles 24 Forken 15 of the vehicle. A lifting of the container 1 via a front collar by means of a comb strip and a hold-down over it, - also standard components for the above-ground emptying - a disposal vehicle is possible.

About the spreader frame 9, the container 1 can be wholly or partially supported on an outer frame member 17 of a pit 18, provided that the frame 9 as here forms a support frame for supporting the container 1. Another portion of the weight may be supported on a lower stop 19 of a pivot plate 20 described in more detail below and on a buffer 2 1 in the pit 18.

Additionally or alternatively, the frame 9 can also fulfill a sealing function with respect to a surrounding outer frame part 1 7, so that when the container 1 is set no water can run into the pit 1 8. For this purpose, the steel angle of the frame 9 are lined for example with a rubber or plastic.

The collecting container 1 shown in the figures is designed in accordance with DIN EN 840 and thus includes the above-mentioned lateral spigot 16 as an abutment 14 when detected by vehicle-side forks 1 5. The total transverse extent is thus in compliance with the above standard between 1370 and 1400 millimeters. Thus, this collection container 1 corresponds to a standard container, as it is commonly used without lowering. Custom-made products can be avoided. Changes only affect the lid construction and Anmontage said frame 9. Both can be easily converted to existing storage tanks. The internal volume can be for example 1, 1 cbm or 2, 3 cbm or even larger volumes up to 5 cbm.

The collecting device 22 from pit 18 and therein partially lowerable container 1 is shown schematically in its filling position of the container 1 approximately in Figure 1. Here, at least half of the internal volume of the container 1 in the pit 18 is kept below the ambient level 11 and thus optically inconspicuous. The at least one filling opening 10 and the at least one emptying opening through the pivot cover 12, however, are above the ambient level 1 1 and are therefore accessible without lifting the container 1. There are therefore no lifting means in the pit required - neither own nor provided by a disposal vehicle.

As can be seen in Figure 1, the abutment 14 of the container above the ambient level 1 1 and thus for the Forken 15 are accessible even without the collection container 1 would have to be moved in the lowered position of the collecting container 1. The entire lifting and over-head emptying movement of the container is thus feasible with a standard vehicle alone, for example a side loader, without the need for retrofitting in any way.

In the lowered position of the container 1, this can be held at least partially over said frame 9, which can be supported on an outer, the receiving pit 18 for the container 1 surrounding and supporting frame part 17. Also, this outer frame member 17 may be formed of steel profiles, in particular lying flat sheets. The receiving pit 18 may be formed of several precast concrete parts, which allows easy installation on site. U. a. a finished angle part, for example with an opening angle of 45 °, can be used. The end faces can in each case one or two parts - and thus simple - be constructed. A sealing of the parts with each other over, for example, a hardening mass - is possible. As the upper conclusion of the pit is the o. G. circumferential frame part 17 placed and firmly connected.

In the pit 18, a safety platform 20 is arranged, which closes the opening when the collecting container 1 is raised at least so far that nobody can fall into it. Here, the safety platform 20 is designed as a pivoting flap, which is biased in the closing direction, which is pivotable downwards when lowering the container by its weight. For this purpose, the empty weight of the container 1.

When settling the collecting container 1 slides this at the opening swivel flap 20 down until it rests on a stop 19 and at the same time lands on the buffer 2 1.

The pit 18 may have, for example, downwards a water drain secured by a check valve, so that rainwater can run off, but groundwater can not press down into the pit 18 from below. A tightness of the pit 18 is not mandatory, even a gravel pile or the like can come as a substrate in question. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
