Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of waste treatment and is more particularly concerned with bins in which household waste is collected.
  • These collection bins include a tub with wheels and a pivoting lid, movable between an open position in which it allows the introduction of waste into the tank and a closed position in which it rests by its periphery on the upper flange of the tank.
  • Closing the lid, under the effect of its own weight, may be accompanied by a noise that may hinder the neighborhood.
  • a first solution is to provide the tank and / or the cover with rubber stops that damp the shock of the lid on the tank.
  • the publication EP 1 127 811 proposes a simplified solution of the above device, in which the lid and the tank are arranged in such a way that the air leaving the tank, when closing the lid and when the latter is close to its closed position, is forced to make at least two turns, passing between substantially vertical surfaces respectively belonging to the lid and the tank.
  • This particular arrangement easy to make by molding, reduces the manufacturing complexity.
  • the publication EP 1,584,576 proposes to project on the lower edge of the cover a band of arcuate circle of small section, apt to deform under the effect of the impact of the lid on the collar of the tank.
  • This elastic band of small section however has a certain fragility and is still expensive to manufacture because of the need to use a drawer mold, comprising moving parts, and therefore more complex to implement.
  • the object of the invention is to propose an alternative solution to the devices described briefly above.
  • the garbage bin according to the invention comprises a tank and a cover movable between an open position and a closed position, said lid comprising a lower edge inscribed substantially in a plane and intended to come into contact with an upper flange of the tank when said lid is in closed position.
  • This tray is characterized in that the lid comprises at least one flexible tongue extending from the wall of the lid between two notches formed from the lower edge of the lid.
  • the elastic tongue comprises a line of contact parallel to the lower edge of the cover, intended to rest on the collar, and disposed at a given distance below the plane in which is inscribed the lower edge of the cover.
  • the elastic tongue comes to rest on the collar before the lower edge of the lid itself comes into contact with the collar, and undergoes an elastic deformation to limit the impact velocity of the lid, and to dampen the shock of the lid on the tank. This results in a decrease in noise and noise that it generates.
  • the shape of the elastic tongue allows a manufacture of the lid by injection molding without the need to use a complex mold.
  • the absence of angles, hollow parts or recesses also prevents the accumulation of waste.
  • the figure 1 represents a garbage bin 1 comprising a tank 2 and a lid 3.
  • the lid is connected to the tank by a hinge 21 of axis XX '.
  • this tray is made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) whose structural properties are sufficient to undergo elastic deformation without risk of degradation over time.
  • HDPE high density polyethylene
  • the lid 3 itself comprises a substantially horizontal plate 32 bordered on its circumference by a lateral strip 34 lowering more or less vertically according to the types and models of waste bins.
  • This sideband allows to cover the rain shield (not visible) extending the wall of the sides of the tank above the collar 20.
  • the lower edge 33 of the strip 32 rests on the upper surface of the upper flange 20 of the tank.
  • the lower edge 33 is therefore inscribed in a plane so as to establish a uniform contact over the entire surface of the collar to reduce the penetration of external agents.
  • the width and the shape of the collar 20 are the subject of numerous standards and technical specifications to authorize the handling of the bin by the waste collection machinery.
  • a flexible tongue 30 extends from the wall of the lid between two notches 31. These notches 31 themselves extend from the lower edge 33 of the lid in a direction substantially perpendicular to said lower edge 33.
  • a contact line 301 represents all the points of the tongue 30 coming into contact with the flange of the tank 2. This line of contact is locally substantially parallel to the lower edge 33.
  • the contact line 301 is located at a distance d below a plane P in which is inscribed the lower edge 33 of the 3. This distance is adjustable to increase or reduce the elastic travel of the flexible tongue 30. In practice, the distance d is usefully between 3mm and 15mm.
  • the tongue has a first concavity 303 facing up the garbage bin.
  • a plane P 'tangential to the flexible tongue 30 and passing through the contact line 301 is parallel to the plane P in which is inscribed the lower edge 33.
  • the notches 31 have a depth p that can be adjusted to make the tongue more or less flexible. It will be observed here that the notches start from the lower edge 33 and can walk over the entire height of the strip 34 and extend if necessary on the plate 32 of the lid. In practice, the notches have a depth p between 10mm and 50mm.
  • the elastic deformation of the tongue operates over the entire length separating the bending line 303 from the nip 301, it can be considered that the bending line is equivalent to the axis of an elastic hinge around which the flexible tongue is rotated.
  • the plane R passing through the bending line 302 and the contact line 301 defines the angle inclination ⁇ of the flexible tongue relative to a direction perpendicular to the plane P.
  • This direction V is similar to the vertical direction, when the lid is in the closed position.
  • This inclination a is adjustable to adjust the intensity of the torque exerted on the nip when closing the lid. It will be observed here that when this angle of inclination decreases, the radial force transmitted to the cover increases and the attenuation of the noise is lower. Also we will choose an angle between 15 ° and 80 °.
  • the flexible tongue may extend and form a second concavity 304 facing downwardly of the refuse bin to form a handle 305 allowing the user to lift the lid more easily.
  • the thickness of the tongue 30 is generally substantially equal to the thickness of the lid 3 and between 1.5 mm and 3 mm. However, to adjust the stiffness of the flexible tongue, it is possible to adjust this thickness locally.
  • the width of the flexible tongue 30 also makes it possible to modify the elasticity of the tongue 30. It will then be ensured that the width of the tongue is compatible with the width necessary for grasping by the hand of a user.
  • the figure 4 illustrates the position of the tongue at the time of the impact of the cover on the upper flange of the tank.
  • the impact force I comprises a radial component I r passing through the bending line 302 and a circumferential component I c generating the bending torque of the tongue about the axis 302. It can be considered that the radial component I r is transmits directly to the cover without damping effect, and the higher the value of this component I r is less the sound effect produced at the moment of impact is attenuated. As indicated above, increasing the inclination of the flexible tongue 30 reduces this phenomenon.
  • the flexible tongue 30 is integral with the lid 3 of the hopper.
  • This solution has many advantages in terms of manufacturing. However, it would be quite possible to envisage having a metal blade, fixed on the bending line between the two cutouts 31, for example by rivets, to obtain identical effects.
  • the flexible tongue When the flexible tongue is integral with the lid, it can be molded at the same time as the lid. It will be observed that it is not necessary to use moving parts because of the absence of parts underdepoise. In addition, the injection molding technology allows all variations in shape and thickness to achieve a part meeting the requirements of flexibility and strength as discussed above.
