Definitions

  • the invention describes a mechanism for visual and digital signalling between e.g. households and companies responsible for waste collection, e.g. concerning communication about matters as requesting emptying of a waste container.
  • waste level sensors can be installed in the waste bins, and then connect the bins to a communication network, as proposed in WO2013069029 .
  • the waste bin signals at a predetermined waste level, and the collection route is planned after the bins that require emptying. This has resulted in savings for the municipalities.
  • waste bins often comprises several sections, onto which some sections has an additional extra lid to ensure a seal against e.g. flies.
  • To measure waste levels in these types of sectioned bins would be difficult and costly.
  • Another challenge is the forces present under an emptying cycle, when the waste bin is emptied into a waste truck. These forces can damage electronics and other components on a transmitter and dislocate a visual indicator from its position and thus give an incorrect indication.
  • the invention aims at solving the problems above using a sliding mechanism according to the features of claim 1.
  • the invention is intended for households, and therefore too complex solutions concerning handling will result in error in handling or that the product is not used at all.
  • a digital and visual signalling mechanism is designated, also called sliding mechanism (1,2), intended to be used on waste containers, comprising: A base plate (1), on which a slider (2) is allowed to slide in the length direction (21) of the base plate (1).
  • the sliding mechanism (1,2) comprising a transmitting device, in the base plate, and a sensor detecting the position of the slider (2) in the length direction (21) of the base plate (1).
  • the base plate (1) comprises 1 or more fields of information (24), that entirely or partly are covered by the slider (2), depending on the position of the slider (2).
  • the transmitter is arranged to send information about the position of the slider (2) on the slider mechanism (1,2) to external receiver.
  • information (24) is visible on the base plate (1), so that visual feedback is given.
  • the mechanism is arranged so that the slider (2) has 1 or several distinct positions on the base plate (1).
  • the base plate (1) has a rail (4), on which the slider (2) can slide in the length direction (21) of the base plate (1), and is guided onto with the guide protrusions (5) of the slider (2).
  • This by engaging the engaging protrusions (7) of the slider, that are allowed to deflect vertically in relation to the length direction (21) of the base plate (1), into the engaging slots (6) of the base plate (1) and lock geometrically, so that the slider (2) is locked in one of its end positions (8,9) or between, until a force overcomes the locking force of the engaging protrusions (7) and the slider (2) is released.
  • the rail (4) of the base plate (1) is arranged so that the friction force developed between the slider (2) and the base plate (1) increases on the central part (12) of the base plate (1), and a larger force is required to move the slider (2) passed the central part of the base plate (1).
  • the distinctness of the end positions (8,9) can be further increased when the sliding mechanism (1,2) is assembled onto a waste container or another surface.
  • the base plate (1) can be arranged so that the shape of the base plate (1) is transformed from a planar shape into a bent shape, and thus the slider (2) is given a larger resistance of passing the central part (12) of the base plate (1), when friction is developed or increases between the guiding protrusions (5) of the slider (2) and the rail (4) of the base plate (1) at the central part (12) of the base plate (1).
  • the changed shape of the base plate (1) can be achieved by having the backside (26) of the base plate (1) comprising one or more enlargements (17) and a locally weaker section (15), that when exposed to a pulling force (25) from the fasteners at the assembly holes (14) of the base plate (1) creates an angle (11) between the two end positions (8,9) of the slider (2), and the resistance increases when the slider (2) passes the central part (12) of the base plate (1).
  • the desired shape can be achieved without the enlargements (17), when the sliding mechanism (1,2) is assembled onto a waste bin with a waste bin lid that has a domed surface.
  • the locally weaker section (15) has the effect that the slider mechanism (1,2) is shaped after the lid of the waste container (18) and not the opposite.
  • the sliding mechanism (1,2) comprises to main components: the base plate (1) and the slider (2). Below described is an example of where the sliding mechanism is assembled on a waste bin with several sections (3).
  • the base plate (1) comprises a rail (4) on which the slider (2) guides with its guiding protrusions (5).
  • the slider (2) can glide in the length direction (21) of the base plate (1).
  • the base plate (1) comprises 2 pairs of engaging slots (6), in which the engaging protrusions (7) locks the slider geometrically in its end positions (8,9).
  • the engaging protrusions can deflect vertically in relation to the length direction (21) of the base plate (1).
  • the base plate is designed so that it, during assembly, is bent round its z axis (10), so that an angle (11) is created between the end positions (8,9) of the slider (2).
  • a larger resistance is created for allowing the slider (2) to pass the central position (12) of the base plate (1). This results in more distinct end positions (8,9) of the slider (2) and ensures that the slider (2) doesn't change its position during emptying of the waste bin.
  • the sliding mechanism becomes bi-stable.
  • the stability of these end positions (8,9) can be increased by shaping the rail (4) so that the friction against the slider (2) is increased when the slider (2) is passing at the central part (12) of the base plate (1).
  • the slider (2) comprises a magnet (13), the position of the magnet is detected by a magnet sensor.
  • a signal is sent to an external receiver, with a request of emptying of the waste bin.
  • the slider mechanism (1,2) is assembled onto the waste bin with fasteners, that are assembled in two holes (14) in the ends of the base plate (1).
  • a local weakness (15) of the central part of the base plate (1) has the effect that the base plate will be shaped after the curvature of the bin of the waste container, and the desired angel (11) of the base plate (1) is created.
  • the lid of the waste bin (18) is, during the emptying process, opened into its emptying position (19).
  • the sliding mechanism (1,2) is assembled close to the handle (16) of the waste bin, assembly position A (22), to avoid that the sliding mechanism (1,2) hits the back of the waste bin (20), during the emptying process.
  • Another preferred assembly position is, assembly position B (23), on the inside of the lid of the waste bin (18).
