Definitions

  • the following invention refers to a system for selectively collecting household waste, the object of which is to facilitate the selective collection of the waste produced according to the different fractions of the same by each residence, in order to be able to bill, through the public or private company in charge of the operation, based on the waste produced, and/or to satisfactorily provide incentives to recycle.
  • the system is based on an autonomous container, associated with specific collection elements for the fractions produced in each residence, the autonomous container incorporating weighing means and means for identifying each fraction produced by each residence, the data of which are communicated to a central computer to be stored and processed to thereby do the billing.
  • waste is collected in bins in which all of the waste produced by each household is dumped, the waste in the bins then dumped into the general garbage truck, such that over time efforts have been made to make users aware of separating the different fractions of household waste, with the aim of dumping the different fractions into specific containers to later be collected and recycled.
  • This operation is based on a support, placed in proximity to the residence, in the form of a rack, provided with a series of positions, as many as there are residences, the different positions having a code which corresponds to each one of the residences, and the different positions having the element corresponding to the fraction of waste to be collected, such that, in this way, only the selection of the different fractions of waste produced is performed.
  • vehicles used for collecting waste can be provided with waste weighing means for the waste dumped in the hopper during collection, such that the weighing means can be installed on the frame of the vehicle or on the lifting equipment for lifting the bins.
  • the weighing accuracy is not ideal, since in one case, with the system installed on the frame of the vehicle, the weight of the entire structure of the lifting equipment and of the container to be unloaded, is being supported, obtaining a minimum range of 10 to 20Kg, and in the second case, when the system is installed on the lifting equipment, it must support the weight of the collection "comb" of the containers to be unloaded plus the weight of the containers, obtaining a minimum range of 2 to 5Kg.
  • the present specification describes a system for the selective collection of household waste, by which it is sought not only to separate and collect the waste according to the different factions produced, but also to weigh and control the waste produced by each user, being able to do billing based on the generation of waste and/or apply incentives to users who recycle in a satisfactory way.
  • the object of the invention comprises a system for selective collection of household waste produced by a user, wherein the system comprises:
  • the reading means comprise a RFID reader with the corresponding chip and antenna, which reads the user identification code of the recipient element with the corresponding fraction of waste dumped into the waste container.
  • the RFID reader can be substituted by any other equivalent means.
  • the certified weighing means are defined by at least one load cell.
  • the user interface is defined by a body provided with a screen where, among other information, the weight of the fraction of waste dumped in the bin appears, and a keypad, by which incidences regarding the collection of the fractions of waste can be managed and introduced in the system, such as the fact that the corresponding user is not performing a proper selection of each fraction of waste.
  • the system has an autonomous power supply that can use batteries that are or are not rechargeable.
  • the system can have GPS locating means, with the goal of determining the points at which the collection is taking place.
  • the system is essentially based on having an autonomous container which may be manipulated at "comb" thereof by vehicles for collecting waste with rear or side loading, the container incorporating the elements that make up the system, based, at least on a microprocessor, a user identifier, certified weighing means, means for communicating the data obtained to a central computer, an interface and an autonomous power supply, likewise able to have GPS locating means.
  • the different components integrated in the container can be mounted between a pair of plates at the bottom of the container or on an independent hopper located on the inside of the container, being perfectly protected and isolated.
  • each vehicle can use the container as desired, and vice versa, any container can be associated with the vehicles.
  • the present invention describes a system for the selective collection of household waste, the system comprising a container 1 in which a unitary assembly is integrated with a series of elements making up the system, through which, essentially, the user is identified, the fraction of waste dumped in the same is weighed and the result is communicated to a central computer for controlling and managing of the data and for producing the corresponding bill, as well as the possibility of being able to apply certain incentives to those users who, for example, properly recycle.
  • each container 1 integrates a unitary assembly made up of a processing module having a microcontroller 2, user identification means 3, weighing means 4, means for communicating 5 with a central computer to which data obtained is sent, a user interface 6 and autonomous power supply means 7.
  • Said components can be mounted and protected by means of a pair of plates that will be fixed to the bottom of the container or to an independent hopper located on the inside of the container.
  • the system comprises an recipient element 12 for the corresponding fraction of waste produced by each one of the users with an identification code 13, said code being stored in the corresponding database of a central computer.
  • the element 12 intended to contain the different fractions of waste is based on, for example, a bin, it will have the corresponding identification code, and if the element 12 intended to contain the different fractions of waste is based on a bag, the different bags will incorporate the corresponding identification code 13.
  • the recipient element 12 of the corresponding waste fraction is provided with legible means based on radiofrequency, for example an RFID tag.
  • the RFID tag preferably consists of a passive RFID tag with a chip comprising a memory capable of storing identification information of a user.
  • the label does not need its own power supply, but the chip is activated when it is under a magnetic field (generated by the corresponding reader arranged in the container), so that a current is induced in the RFID tag, enough to activate the memory and provide a signal with the user identification information stored in the tag.
  • the user identification means 3 which can be based on an RFID reader with the corresponding antenna, read the identification code 13 of the recipient element 12 (which can be introduced into the container with its fraction of trash or simply dumping the fraction of waste and reusing the recipient element) that is dumped and communicate it to the microcontroller 1, and certified weighing means 4, which can be defined by, at least one certified load cell, weigh the fraction of waste dumped and, likewise, communicate it to the microcontroller 1.
  • the microcontroller 1 through the communication means 5, based on a wireless network (mobile telephone network, Bluetooth, WiFi, ZigBee, etc.) communicates the data obtained to the central computer, which may comprise a central server and a database.
  • a wireless network mobile telephone network, Bluetooth, WiFi, ZigBee, etc.
  • the unitary assembly integrated into the container 1 likewise incorporates a user interface 6, based on a body provided with a screen 8 and a keypad 9, through which the person in charge of collecting the waste can interact with the microcontroller 1, informing about different incidents in the collection of the different fractions of waste, such as, an incorrect selection of waste fractions by the user, and can be able to take corresponding measures.
  • the system can include a GPS locator 10 that allows the location of the different containers 1 that form part of the system to be known.
  • the idea is to have a plurality of autonomous containers 1 as an essential element of the system, said containers 1 preferably being of the type that adapt to any rear or side lift model which has gripping means 11 by means of a "comb" on the container.
  • the containers are autonomous containers 1 that have individual weighing means for each bin or bag, into which each fraction of waste is dumped, weighing is able to be done with great accuracy, also helped by the fact that the weighing is certified, while in conventional operations less precision is achieved, namely:
  • the containers 1 can be manipulated by different vehicles, such as if the vehicle is being repaired or needs to be substituted.
  • the weighing system is much more economical, since a specific weighing system does not have to be designed for each vehicle, and there are no installation costs, since there is no installation, given that an important part of the cost of the weighing system on the frames and lifting equipment is the installation and wiring of the same.
