Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of containers, in particular that of voluntary waste collection containers.
- voluntary waste collection containers we mean those placed on public roads in specific locations where users bring sorted or unsorted waste. Such containers can be overhead, buried or semi-buried.
- waste containers whose structure is delimited by at least one or more side walls and a bottom wall.
- the side wall and the bottom wall define a useful volume of the tank.
- the container generally also includes a lid covering the useful volume, in which an opening for introducing waste is generally made, which can also be made in one of the side walls.
- the bottom wall of such a tank has at least one door, generally two hatches, which can be opened to empty the container into a collection truck.
- the container is provided with a gripping member for lifting the container, which is connected to the tank by a force transmission structure.
- a lifting crane is attached to the gripping device so as to lift the container above the collection truck, then the hatches are activated so that the waste contained in the volume of the tank falls by gravity. in the truck bed.
- the technique is already known in the state, illustrated in figure 1 , a waste collection container having a force transmission structure 30 comprising reinforcing elements 32, here in the form of beams, but which can also be in the form of hoops, directly connecting the gripping member 18 to the wall of bottom 16 extending into the volume of the tank 12 substantially in the same plane.
- a mechanical gripper When collecting waste, a mechanical gripper connected to the lifting crane grips the gripping member 18.
- This gripper generally has two functions: keep the container secured to the crane while preventing its movement via a fixed gripping disc 24 and act on a hatch opening device 17 by acting on a mobile gripping element 26, also called a mushroom, in translation along a vertical axis of the tank 12.
- the clamp pulls on the mushroom 26, which makes it possible to act on tie rods 28a, 28b themselves pulling the hatches 16a , 16b towards the top of container 10, keeping them closed.
- the lifting stroke of the truck is planned so that the mushroom 26 does not exert pressure on the roof of the container (not shown on the figure 1 ).
- the lifting stroke of the truck is incorrectly adjusted, or if the tie rods become stuck during lifting, the mushroom 26 is pulled beyond its programmed stroke and the lid (or roof) of the container is found subjected to the forces exerted on the mushroom 26 on the one hand and the fixed gripping disc 24 on the other hand. There is therefore a risk that the container cover will be damaged by the crushing force it is subjected to.
- the tank is reinforced using reinforcing elements 32 extending from an axis of symmetry X-X of the tank 12, along which the gripping member is generally placed. 18, towards the edges of the bottom wall 16.
- reinforcing elements 32 extending from an axis of symmetry X-X of the tank 12, along which the gripping member is generally placed. 18, towards the edges of the bottom wall 16.
- the beams 32 extending in the useful volume V of the tank shown in dotted lines in the figure, they encumber the volume available for storing waste. If their dimensions can be reduced, the fact that they extend from the axis of symmetry X-X of the tank 12 towards the edges of the bottom wall 16, therefore towards the walls of the tank 12, has the consequence that they pass through a large part of the useful volume V. They thus disrupt the placement of the waste, generally not very malleable due to the fact that they are collected in bags or due to their own rigidity (cans, bottles, etc.), in the tank 12 .
- this geometry means that the structural elements 32 are very close to certain side walls 14 of the tank. These walls, here on the left and right of the figure, cannot therefore accommodate the waste introduction orifice without risking the congestion of the tank 12 near the orifice, in other words preventing the introduction of waste then that the entire useful volume V is not occupied. In other words, the configuration of the prior art limits the possibilities of arranging the waste introduction orifice on other walls.
- the document FR 2978960 A1 discloses a waste container according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention aims in particular to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a container whose force transmission structure allowing its lifting and emptying limits the bulk of the tank while being very robust.
- the invention relates to a container according to claim 1 .
- the invention makes it possible to offer greater freedom in the design of the tank, not only in its shape but also in the possibilities of positioning the waste introduction orifices.
- the force transmission arms potentially extend in several directions without being limited to a plane, the force transmission structure is more robust and the payload of the tank is increased.
- the tank having a central axis being the union of two planes of symmetry of the tank or an axis of revolution of the tank, the base is provided substantially along this axis.
- This configuration allows better balancing of the container when lifting it, in other words to ensure that it does not lean during this operation.
- the tank being delimited by a plurality of contiguous side walls, the distal end of each arm is fixed to a junction zone between two contiguous walls of the tank.
- each arm is fixed to an edge of the wall opposite the bottom wall, called the upper edge, of said at least one side wall. This makes it possible to further avoid the clutter of the useful volume by the force transmission structure.
- each arm is provided with a bracket, each branch of the bracket being connected to one of the two contiguous side walls of the tank. This constitutes a means of reinforcing the force transmission structure by distributing the forces between two contiguous walls.
- the arms extend from the base in a star configuration.
- a cross structure configuration allows both good balancing of the container when lifting it and confers good mechanical resistance to the whole.
- the tank being delimited by four side walls opposed in pairs, the force transmission arms are arranged in a cross, the transmission arms crossing at the level of the base.
- the gripping member comprises a guide tube, the guide tube being connected at one of its ends to the base. This configuration allows direct transmission of forces from the gripping member to the base and therefore to the walls of the tank.
- the force transmission structure is arranged in the cover. This makes it possible to hide the force transmission structure.
- the bottom wall is provided with hatches whose opening allows access to the useful volume of the tank.
- the transverse beam is located outside the useful volume of the tank.
- the base includes an opening allowing the passage of the chain.
- the trap actuation device is therefore advantageously integrated into the force transmission structure so as to limit the bulk of the tank.
- the base includes a housing to accommodate the transverse beam.
- the container according to the invention is configured to contain waste.
- a container 10 more particularly a waste collection container.
- some elements of the container have been omitted from the figure 2 , such as its cover and the waste introduction orifices.
- the container 10 is provided with a tank 12, delimited by at least one side wall 14 and a bottom wall 16.
- the tank 12 is delimited by four side walls 14 opposed in pairs.
- the four side walls 14 are contiguous.
- the tank 12 delimits a useful volume V which is substantially parallelepiped.
- the tank 12 can be delimited by a single side wall 14, which can for example be in the shape of a cylinder of revolution and a bottom wall 16.
- a tank 12 delimited by a plurality of side walls 14 these can be arranged contiguous so as to delimit, with the bottom wall 16, useful volumes V of different shapes than a parallelepiped.
- the tank could have a triangular, hexagonal, octagonal section, etc.
- the tank 12 is provided with a central axis X-X which is either the union of two planes of symmetry, or an axis of symmetry of revolution.
- This X-X axis is parallel to the vertical when the container 10 is placed on the ground.
- the bottom wall 16 is provided with hatches 16a; 16b whose opening allows access to the useful volume V of the tank.
- the container 10 includes a device for actuating the hatches 17, the mode of operation of which will be described later.
- the container 10 is also provided with a gripping member 18 for lifting the container.
- this gripping member 18 is for example a “mushroom” type commonly called the subject of patents EP 0399280 And EP 0462629 issued in the name of the company Kinshofer Greiftechnik.
- the gripping member 18 thus comprises a guide tube 20, here hollow and extending in a vertical direction, which is here parallel to the central axis X-X.
- the gripping member 18 supports, at one of its ends, in this case the end closest to the tank 12, a fixing plate 22, and at its opposite end, a fixed gripping disc 24.
- the plate fixing 22 extends along a plane normal to the direction in which the guide tube 20 extends.
- the guide tube 20 preferably extends the central axis X-X in order to balance the tank 12 and therefore the container 10 according to its lifting. Indeed, during an operation of emptying the container 10, the container 10 is first lifted using a lifting machine which includes a member which grips, generally grips, the guide tube 20, the fixed gripping disc 24 serving as a stop.
- the gripping member 18 is part of the trap actuation device 17.
- the trap actuation device 17 comprises a movable bar (of which only one end is seen in the figures), movable in translation inside the guide tube 20.
- the movable bar supports, at its end opposite the tank 12, a movable gripping element, also called mushroom 26, which projects out of the guide tube 20.
- the movable bar is connected to a transverse beam 29 connected to the hatches 16a, 16b to activate their opening as will be explained more far.
- the transverse beam 29 is connected, at each of its ends, respectively to two pairs of tie rods 28a, 28b, which are themselves respectively connected to the two hatches 16a, 16b.
- the tie rods are here in the form of longitudinal bars.
- the tie rods 28a, 28b are here arranged closest to the walls 14 in order to prevent them from taking up space in the center of the tank V and thus constituting an obstacle to the passage of waste from the top of the container to its bottom, which would prevent their evacuation when opening the hatches 16a, 16b.
- the transverse beam 29 is also connected to the movable bar, therefore to the gripping member 18, via a chain 31 so as to be movable in translation along the vertical axis X-X.
- the transverse beam 29, which extends substantially in a direction perpendicular to the axis located above the tank 12, therefore outside its useful volume V, and extends substantially from a side wall 14 to the opposite wall.
- the gripping member 18 is configured so that the hatches 16a, 16b are kept closed when the mushroom 26 is in the raised position, which keeps the chain 31 under tension and therefore the transverse beam 29 in the high position (position of the figure 2 ).
- the tie rods 28a, 28b pull the hatches 16a, 16b towards the top of the container 10, keeping them closed.
- the mushroom 26 is lowered, which has the effect of relaxing the chain 31 and moving the transverse beam 29 downwards.
- the tie rods 28a, 28b therefore no longer hold the hatches 16a, 16b which open under the effect of their weight and that of the waste contained in the tank 12.
- the container 10 is first lifted using a lifting machine which comprises a first member which grips, generally grips, the guide tube 24, the disc gripping device 24 serving as a stop. Then, once the container 10 has been moved above the bucket of a collection truck, a second member of the lifting machine presses on the mushroom 26 to open the hatches 16a, 16b.
- a lifting machine which comprises a first member which grips, generally grips, the guide tube 24, the disc gripping device 24 serving as a stop. Then, once the container 10 has been moved above the bucket of a collection truck, a second member of the lifting machine presses on the mushroom 26 to open the hatches 16a, 16b.
- the gripping member 18 is connected to the tank 12 by a force transmission structure 30.
- the gripping member 18 is connected to the force transmission structure 30 via the fixing plate 22, which is fixed directly to a base 34 of the transmission structure forces 30.
- the fixing plate 22 is for example held on the base 34 by a set of bolts and nuts (not shown).
- the force transmission structure 30 comprises a base 34 fixed to the gripping member 18 at least two force transmission arms 36.
- Each transmission arm 36 is connected, at one end, called the proximal end 36P, to the base 34, and at the opposite end, called the distal end 36D, to a side wall 14.
- the forces during lifting exerted on the gripping member 18 are transmitted, in particular the guide tube 20, to the bottom wall 16 via the side walls 14, which makes it possible to do without the presence of reinforcing elements in the useful volume V.
- the latter can thus be entirely devoted to the storage of waste, which are also not constrained in their placement.
- the useful volume V of the tank being of revolution around the axis of revolution X-X
- the base 34 is provided substantially along this axis. This configuration allows better balancing of the container 10 during its lifting, in other words to ensure that it does not lean during this operation.
- the guide tube 20 is connected, at its proximal end, that is to say the closest to the tank 12, to the base 34. This configuration allows direct transmission of forces from the gripping member towards the base 34 and therefore towards the walls 14, 16 of the tank.
- the fixing plate 22 is fixed to the base 34, for example by means of bolts and nuts (not shown) or other fixing means known per se.
- the transverse beam 29 is located below the base 34.
- the base 34 comprises a housing 35 making it possible to accommodate the transverse beam 29.
- This housing 35 is occupied by the transverse beam 29 when it is in the high position, which corresponds to the configuration of the device for actuating the hatches 17 in which the hatches 16a, 16b are closed.
- the base 34 preferably comprises an opening (not visible on the figure 2 ) allowing the passage of the chain 31 connected to the gripping member 26.
- the actuating device 17 of the hatches is therefore advantageously integrated into the force transmission structure 30 so as to limit its bulk, in particular so as not to encroach on the available volume V of the tank.
- each arm is fixed to an edge of the wall opposite the bottom wall, called upper edge 14B. This makes it possible to avoid taking up the useful volume by the force transmission structure.
- each arm 36 is fixed to a junction zone J between two contiguous side walls 14 of the tank 12.
- the distal end 36D being fixed to an upper edge 14B of a wall, the junction zone J is in this particular embodiment the zone where the upper edges 14B of two contiguous walls 14 meet, in other words a “corner” of the tank 12.
- each arm is provided with a bracket 38, each branch 40 of the bracket being connected to one of the two contiguous side walls 14 of the tank.
- the branches of the bracket 40 are for example fixed to the walls 14 using bolts and nuts (not visible in the figure).
- the force transmission arms 36 extend from the base (34) in a star configuration. Indeed, a star structure allows both good balancing of the container during lifting and confers good mechanical resistance to the whole.
- the tank 12 presenting, in the embodiment shown in figure 2 , four side walls 14 opposite each other, the force transmission arms 36 are arranged in a cross, and intersect at the level of the base 34.
- the tank 12 being most often provided with a cover, not shown in the figures, the force transmission structure 30 is preferably arranged in the cover. This allows it to be hidden by occupying a space that is not dedicated to waste storage.
- the container 10 differs from the invention only by its device for actuating the hatches 17.
- the assembly formed by the transverse beam 19 and the tie rods 28a, 28b are replaced by two chains 41a, 41b .
- the chains 41a, 41b are connected, at one of their ends, to the chain 31, and at their opposite ends (not visible on the Figure 3 ), respectively to the hatches 16a, 16b.
- This embodiment has the advantage of being less expensive and less heavy than the previous one due to the elimination of the transverse beam in particular. It can thus be intended for containers intended to receive compact waste, such as for example glass bottles, for which the presence of the chains in the central part of the tank 12 is not an obstacle to their journey towards the bottom of the container. the tank and their evacuation after opening the hatches 16a, 16b.
- the presence of the force transmission structure 30 is all the more necessary to take up the lifting forces linked to the operation of the hatch actuation device 17, because the transverse beam 19 is no longer present.
- the invention could in particular be applied, in addition to waste collection containers, to all types of containers suitable for lifting, such as goods storage containers for example.

Description
L'invention concerne le domaine des conteneurs, en particulier celui des conteneurs de collecte de déchets à apport volontaire.The invention relates to the field of containers, in particular that of voluntary waste collection containers.
On entend par conteneurs de collecte de déchets à apport volontaire ceux disposés sur la voie publique en des emplacements spécifiques où des utilisateurs apportent des déchets triés ou non triés. De tels conteneurs peuvent être aériens, enterrés ou semi-enterrés.By voluntary waste collection containers we mean those placed on public roads in specific locations where users bring sorted or unsorted waste. Such containers can be overhead, buried or semi-buried.
Il s'agit plus particulièrement de conteneurs de déchets dont la structure est délimitée par au moins une ou plusieurs parois latérales et une paroi de fond. La paroi latérale et la paroi de fond définissent un volume utile de la cuve. Le conteneur comprend en général également un couvercle recouvrant le volume utile, dans lequel est généralement pratiqué une ouverture d'introduction des déchets, qui peut également est pratiquée dans une des parois latérales.These are more particularly waste containers whose structure is delimited by at least one or more side walls and a bottom wall. The side wall and the bottom wall define a useful volume of the tank. The container generally also includes a lid covering the useful volume, in which an opening for introducing waste is generally made, which can also be made in one of the side walls.
La paroi de fond d'une telle cuve comporte au moins une porte, généralement deux trappes, pouvant être ouvertes pour le vidage du conteneur dans un camion de collecte.The bottom wall of such a tank has at least one door, generally two hatches, which can be opened to empty the container into a collection truck.
A cet effet, le conteneur est muni d'un organe de préhension pour le levage du conteneur, qui est relié à la cuve par une structure de transmission des efforts. Le plus souvent, on arrime une grue de levage à l'organe de préhension de sorte à lever le conteneur au-dessus du camion de collecte, puis on actionne les trappes de sorte que les déchets contenus dans le volume de la cuve tombent par gravité dans la benne du camion. On connaît déjà dans l'état la technique, illustré à la
Lors de la collecte de déchets, une pince mécanique reliée à la grue de levage vient saisir l'organe de préhension 18. Cette pince a généralement deux fonctions : maintenir le conteneur arrimé à la grue en évitant son mouvement via un disque de préhension 24 fixe et agir sur un dispositif d'ouverture des trappes 17 en agissant sur un élément de préhension mobile 26, également appelé champignon, en translation selon un axe vertical de la cuve 12.When collecting waste, a mechanical gripper connected to the lifting crane grips the gripping
Lors de la première étape de la collecte, à savoir l'étape de levage du conteneur au-dessus du camion, la pince tire sur le champignon 26, ce qui permet d'agir sur tirants 28a, 28b tirant eux-mêmes les trappes 16a, 16b vers le haut du conteneur 10, les maintenant fermées.During the first stage of collection, namely the stage of lifting the container above the truck, the clamp pulls on the
En principe, la course de levage du camion est prévue pour que le champignon 26 n'exerce pas de pression sur le toit du conteneur (non représenté sur la
Pour éviter ce problème, dans l'art antérieur, on renforce la cuve à l'aide d'éléments de renfort 32 s'étendant depuis un axe de symétrie X-X de la cuve 12, le long duquel est généralement placé l'organe de préhension 18, vers les bords de la paroi de fond 16. Or, une telle structure de transmission des efforts 30 pose de nombreux inconvénients.To avoid this problem, in the prior art, the tank is reinforced using reinforcing
En premier lieu, les poutres 32 s'étendant dans le volume utile V de la cuve, représenté en pointillé sur la figure, ils encombrent le volume disponible pour le stockage des déchets. Si leurs dimensions peuvent être réduites, le fait qu'ils s'étendent depuis l'axe de symétrie X-X de la cuve 12 vers les bords de la paroi de fond 16, donc vers les parois de la cuve 12, a pour conséquence qu'ils traversent une grande partie du volume utile V. Ils perturbent ainsi le placement des déchets, généralement peu malléables du fait qu'ils se trouvent rassemblés dans des sacs ou de leur rigidité propre (bidons, bouteilles, etc.), dans la cuve 12.Firstly, the
De plus, cette géométrie fait que les éléments de structure 32 se trouvent très proches de certaines parois latérales 14 de la cuve. Ces parois, ici à gauche et à droite de la figure, ne peuvent donc accueillir l'orifice d'introduction des déchets sans risquer l'encombrement de la cuve 12 à proximité de l'orifice, autrement dit empêchant l'introduction de déchets alors que tout le volume utile V n'est pas occupé. En d'autres termes, la configuration de l'art antérieur limite les possibilités de disposition de l'orifice d'introduction des déchets sur d'autres parois.In addition, this geometry means that the
Enfin, le fait que les éléments de structure 32 se trouvent disposés selon sensiblement un même plan limite la robustesse de la structure de transmission des efforts 30 et impose donc une charge limite lors du levage du conteneur.Finally, the fact that the
Le document
L'invention a notamment pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un conteneur dont la structure de transmission des efforts permettant son levage et son vidage limite l'encombrement de la cuve tout en étant d'une grande robustesse.The invention aims in particular to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a container whose force transmission structure allowing its lifting and emptying limits the bulk of the tank while being very robust.
A cet effet l'invention a pour objet un conteneur selon la revendication 1.For this purpose the invention relates to a container according to claim 1 .
Grâce à la présence de l'embase fixée à l'organe de préhension et aux bras reliés aux parois latérales, les efforts lors du levage et de l'actionnement des trappes (en particulier leur maintien en position fermée) exercés sur l'organe de préhension peuvent être transmis à la paroi de fond via les parois latérales, ce qui permet de se passer de la présence d'éléments de renfort dans le volume utile. Autrement dit, on fait usage au mieux de la structure inhérente de la cuve, sans même avoir à la modifier, en faisant passer les efforts à travers les éléments préexistants de la cuve, à savoir les parois latérales.Thanks to the presence of the base fixed to the gripping member and to the arms connected to the side walls, the forces during lifting and actuation of the hatches (in particular their maintenance in the closed position) exerted on the gripping member gripping can be transmitted to the bottom wall via the side walls, which makes it possible to dispense with the presence of reinforcing elements in the useful volume. In other words, we make the best use of the inherent structure of the tank, without even having to modify it, by passing the forces through the pre-existing elements of the tank, namely the side walls.
Ainsi, aucun élément de renfort n'étant présent dans le volume utile de la cuve, celui-ci peut être entièrement consacré au stockage des déchets, qui ne sont pas non plus contraints dans leur placement.Thus, since no reinforcing element is present in the useful volume of the tank, it can be entirely devoted to the storage of waste, which is also not constrained in its placement.
Par voie de conséquence l'invention permet d'offrir une plus grande liberté dans la conception de la cuve, non seulement dans sa forme mais également dans les possibilités de positionnement des orifices d'introduction des déchets.Consequently, the invention makes it possible to offer greater freedom in the design of the tank, not only in its shape but also in the possibilities of positioning the waste introduction orifices.
Enfin, les bras de transmission des efforts s'étendant potentiellement dans plusieurs directions sans être circonscrits à un plan, la structure de transmission des efforts est plus robuste et la charge utile de la cuve se voit augmentée.Finally, the force transmission arms potentially extend in several directions without being limited to a plane, the force transmission structure is more robust and the payload of the tank is increased.
De préférence, la cuve présentant un axe central étant la réunion de deux plans de symétrie de la cuve ou un axe de révolution de la cuve, l'embase est ménagée sensiblement le long de cet axe. Cette configuration permet un meilleur équilibrage du conteneur lors de son levage, autrement dit de s'assurer qu'il ne penche pas au cours de cette opération.Preferably, the tank having a central axis being the union of two planes of symmetry of the tank or an axis of revolution of the tank, the base is provided substantially along this axis. This configuration allows better balancing of the container when lifting it, in other words to ensure that it does not lean during this operation.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, la cuve étant délimitée par une pluralité de parois latérales contiguës, l'extrémité distale de chaque bras est fixée à une zone de jonction entre deux parois contiguës de la cuve. Ceci permet de transférer les efforts depuis l'organe de préhension vers la zone des parois présentant la plus grande résistance mécanique et ainsi d'obtenir une répartition des efforts efficace et conférant à l'ensemble une plus grande robustesse.According to a preferred embodiment, the tank being delimited by a plurality of contiguous side walls, the distal end of each arm is fixed to a junction zone between two contiguous walls of the tank. This makes it possible to transfer the forces from the gripping member to the zone of the walls presenting the greatest mechanical resistance and thus to obtain an efficient distribution of the forces and giving the assembly greater robustness.
Avantageusement l'extrémité distale de chaque bras est fixée à un bord de la paroi opposé à la paroi de fond, dit bord supérieur, de ladite au moins une paroi latérale. Cela permet d'éviter encore davantage l'encombrement du volume utile par la structure de transmission des efforts.Advantageously the distal end of each arm is fixed to an edge of the wall opposite the bottom wall, called the upper edge, of said at least one side wall. This makes it possible to further avoid the clutter of the useful volume by the force transmission structure.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, l'extrémité distale de chaque bras est munie d'une équerre, chaque branche de l'équerre étant reliée à une des deux parois latérales contiguës de la cuve. Ceci constitue un moyen de renforcer la structure de transmission des efforts en répartissant les efforts entre deux parois contiguës.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the distal end of each arm is provided with a bracket, each branch of the bracket being connected to one of the two contiguous side walls of the tank. This constitutes a means of reinforcing the force transmission structure by distributing the forces between two contiguous walls.
De préférence, les bras s'étendent à partir de l'embase selon une configuration en étoile. Une telle configuration structure en croix permet à la fois un bon équilibrage du conteneur lors de son levage et de conférer une bonne résistance mécanique à l'ensemble.Preferably, the arms extend from the base in a star configuration. Such a cross structure configuration allows both good balancing of the container when lifting it and confers good mechanical resistance to the whole.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, la cuve étant délimitée par quatre parois latérales opposées deux à deux, les bras de transmission des efforts sont disposés en croix, les bras de transmission se croisant au niveau de l'embase.According to a preferred embodiment, the tank being delimited by four side walls opposed in pairs, the force transmission arms are arranged in a cross, the transmission arms crossing at the level of the base.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, l'organe de préhension comprend un tube de guidage, le tube de guidage étant relié, à une de ses extrémités à l'embase. Cette configuration permet une transmission directe des efforts depuis l'organe de préhension vers l'embase et donc vers les parois de la cuve.According to a particular embodiment, the gripping member comprises a guide tube, the guide tube being connected at one of its ends to the base. This configuration allows direct transmission of forces from the gripping member to the base and therefore to the walls of the tank.
De préférence, la cuve étant munie d'un couvercle, la structure de transmission des efforts est disposée dans le couvercle. Ceci permet de dissimuler la structure de transmission des efforts.Preferably, the tank being provided with a cover, the force transmission structure is arranged in the cover. This makes it possible to hide the force transmission structure.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, la paroi de fond est munie de trappes dont l'ouverture permet l'accès au volume utile de la cuve.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the bottom wall is provided with hatches whose opening allows access to the useful volume of the tank.
Afin de ne pas encombrer la cuve et permettre que son volume soit entièrement consacré à l'insertion de déchets, la poutre transversale se trouve en dehors du volume utile de la cuve.In order not to clutter the tank and allow its volume to be entirely devoted to the insertion of waste, the transverse beam is located outside the useful volume of the tank.
De manière à limiter l'encombrement du dispositif d'actionnement des trappes, en particulier dans la cuve, la poutre transversale étant reliée l'organe de préhension via une chaîne, l'embase comprend une ouverture permettant le passage de la chaîne. Le dispositif d'actionnement des trappes est donc avantageusement intégré à la structure de transmission des efforts de sorte à limiter l'encombrement de la cuve.In order to limit the bulk of the trap actuation device, in particular in the tank, the transverse beam being connected to the gripping member via a chain, the base includes an opening allowing the passage of the chain. The trap actuation device is therefore advantageously integrated into the force transmission structure so as to limit the bulk of the tank.
De manière à limiter encore davantage l'encombrement du dispositif d'actionnement des trappes, l'embase comprend un logement pour accueillir la poutre transversale.In order to further limit the bulk of the hatch actuation device, the base includes a housing to accommodate the transverse beam.
De préférence, le conteneur selon l'invention est configuré pour contenir des déchets.Preferably, the container according to the invention is configured to contain waste.

On a représenté sur la
Le conteneur 10 est muni d'une cuve 12, délimitée par au moins une paroi latérale 14 et une paroi de fond 16.The
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté à la
On notera que dans d'autres modes de réalisation non représentés, la cuve 12 peut être délimitée par une unique paroi latérale 14, qui peut par exemple être en forme d'un cylindre de révolution et une paroi de fond 16.It will be noted that in other embodiments not shown, the
Dans le cas d'une cuve 12 délimitée par une pluralité de parois latérales 14, celles-ci peuvent être disposées contiguës de sorte à délimiter, avec la paroi de fond 16, des volumes utiles V de forme différentes qu'un parallélépipède. Par exemple, la cuve pourra avoir une section triangulaire, hexagonale, octogonale, etc.In the case of a
De préférence en effet, la cuve 12 est munie d'un axe central X-X qui est soit la réunion de deux plans de symétrie, soit un axe de symétrie de révolution. Cet axe X-X est parallèle à la verticale quand le conteneur 10 est disposé sur le sol.Preferably in fact, the
La paroi de fond 16 est munie de trappes 16a ; 16b dont l'ouverture permet l'accès au volume utile V de la cuve. A cet effet, le conteneur 10 comprend un dispositif d'actionnement des trappes 17 dont le mode de fonctionnement sera décrit plus loin.The
Le conteneur 10 est également muni d'un organe de préhension 18 pour le levage du conteneur. De façon connue en soi, et notamment du document
L'organe de préhension 18 comprend ainsi un tube de guidage 20, ici creux et s'étendant selon une direction verticale, qui est ici parallèle à l'axe central X-X.The gripping
L'organe de préhension 18 supporte, à une de ses extrémités, en l'occurrence l'extrémité la plus proche de la cuve 12, une platine de fixation 22, et à son extrémité opposée, un disque de préhension fixe 24. La platine de fixation 22 s'étend selon un plan normal à la direction selon lequel s'étend le tube de guidage 20.The gripping
Le tube de guidage 20 s'étend préférentiellement l'axe central X-X afin d'équilibrer la cuve 12 et donc le conteneur 10 selon son levage. En effet, lors d'une opération de vidage du conteneur 10, on lève tout d'abord le conteneur 10 à l'aide d'un engin de levage qui comporte un organe venant saisir, en général enserrer, le tube de guidage 20, le disque de préhension fixe 24 servant de butée.The
Dans ce genre de système « à champignon », l'organe de préhension 18 fait partie du dispositif d'actionnement des trappes 17.In this type of “mushroom” system, the gripping
Le dispositif d'actionnement des trappes 17 comporte une barre mobile (dont on ne voit qu'une extrémité sur les figures), déplaçable en translation à l'intérieur du tube de guidage 20. La barre mobile supporte, à son extrémité opposée à la cuve 12, un élément de préhension mobile, également appelé champignon 26, qui fait saillie hors du tube de guidage 20.The
Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention représenté à la
Plus précisément, la poutre transversale 29 est reliée, à chacune de ses extrémités, respectivement à deux paires de tirants 28a, 28b, qui sont eux-mêmes respectivement reliés aux deux trappes 16a, 16b. Les tirants sont ici sous forme de barres longitudinales. Les tirants 28a, 28b sont ici disposés le plus proche des parois 14 afin d'éviter qu'ils prennent de l'espace au centre de la cuve V et constituent ainsi un obstacle au passage de déchets depuis le haut de conteneur vers son fond, qui empêcherait leur évacuation lors de l'ouverture des trappes 16a, 16b.More precisely, the
La poutre transversale 29 est par ailleurs reliée à la barre mobile, donc à l'organe de préhension 18, via une chaîne 31 de sorte à être mobile en translation le long de l'axe vertical X-X. La poutre transversale 29, qui s'étend sensiblement selon une direction perpendiculaire à l'axe X-X, reprend également une partie des efforts subis par l'organe de préhension 18 pour contribuer en partie à la rigidité du conteneur 10. La poutre transversale 29 se situe au-dessus de la cuve 12, donc hors de son volume utile V, et s'étend sensiblement d'une paroi latérale 14 à la paroi opposée.The
L'organe de préhension 18 est configuré de sorte que les trappes 16a, 16b sont maintenues fermées lorsque le champignon 26 est en position relevée, ce qui maintient la chaîne 31 sous tension et donc la poutre transversale 29 en position haute (position de la
Lors d'une opération de vidage du conteneur 10, on lève tout d'abord le conteneur 10 à l'aide d'un engin de levage qui comporte un premier organe venant saisir, en général enserrer, le tube de guidage 24, le disque de préhension 24 servant de butée. Puis, une fois le conteneur 10 déplacé au-dessus de la benne d'un camion de collecte, un deuxième organe de l'engin de levage appuie sur le champignon 26 pour ouvrir les trappes 16a, 16b.During an operation of emptying the
L'organe de préhension 18 est relié à la cuve 12 par une structure de transmission des efforts 30.The gripping
Dans le mode de réalisation tel que représenté sur la
La structure de transmission des efforts 30 comprend une embase 34 fixée à l'organe de préhension 18 au moins deux bras de transmission des efforts 36.The
Chaque bras de transmission 36 est relié, à une extrémité, dite extrémité proximale 36P, à l'embase 34, et à l'extrémité opposée, dite extrémité distale 36D, à une paroi latérale 14.Each
Grâce à la présence de l'embase 34 fixée à l'organe de préhension 18 et aux bras de transmission des efforts 36 reliés aux parois latérales 14, on transmet les efforts lors du levage exercés sur l'organe de préhension 18, en particulier le tube de guidage 20, à la paroi de fond 16 via les parois latérales 14, ce qui permet de se passer de la présence d'éléments de renfort dans le volume utile V. Ce dernier peut ainsi être entièrement consacré au stockage des déchets, qui ne sont pas non plus contraints dans leur placement.Thanks to the presence of the base 34 fixed to the gripping
De préférence, le volume utile V de la cuve étant de révolution autour de l'axe de révolution X-X, l'embase 34 est ménagée sensiblement le long de cet axe. Cette configuration permet un meilleur équilibrage du conteneur 10 lors de son levage, autrement dit de s'assurer qu'il ne penche pas au cours de cette opération.Preferably, the useful volume V of the tank being of revolution around the axis of revolution X-X, the
Le tube de guidage 20 est relié, à son extrémité proximale, c'est-à-dire la plus proche de la cuve 12, à l'embase 34. Cette configuration permet une transmission directe des efforts depuis l'organe de préhension vers l'embase 34 et donc vers les parois 14, 16 de la cuve.The
Plus précisément, dans le mode de réalisation illustré à la
Par ailleurs, comme on peut le voir sur la figure, la poutre transversale 29 est située en-dessous de l'embase 34. En particulier, l'embase 34 comprend un logement 35 permettant d'accueillir la poutre transversale 29. Ce logement 35 est occupé par la poutre transversale 29 lorsqu'elle se trouve en position haute, qui correspond à la configuration du dispositif d'actionnement des trappes 17 dans laquelle les trappes 16a, 16b sont fermées.Furthermore, as can be seen in the figure, the
En outre l'embase 34 comprend de préférence une ouverture (non visible sur la
Le dispositif d'actionnement 17 des trappes est donc avantageusement intégré à la structure de transmission des efforts 30 de sorte à limiter son encombrement, en particulier pour ne pas empiéter dans le volume disponible V de la cuve.The
L'extrémité distale 36D de chaque bras est fixée à un bord de la paroi opposée à la paroi de fond, dit bord supérieur 14B. Cela permet d'éviter l'encombrement du volume utile par la structure de transmission des efforts.The
La cuve 12 étant délimitée par une pluralité de parois latérales contiguës 14, chaque bras 36 est fixé à une zone de jonction J entre deux parois latérales 14 contiguës de la cuve 12. L'extrémité distale 36D étant fixée à un bord supérieur 14B d'une paroi, la zone de jonction J est dans ce mode de réalisation particulier la zone où les bords supérieurs 14B de deux parois 14 contiguës se rejoignent, autrement dit un « coin » de la cuve 12.The
Le fait de placer l'extrémité distale 36D dans une zone de jonction J permet de transférer les efforts depuis l'organe de préhension 18 vers la zone des parois latérales 14 présentant la plus grande résistance mécanique et ainsi d'obtenir une répartition des efforts efficace et conférant à l'ensemble une plus grande robustesse.Placing the
Pour mieux répartir les efforts entre deux parois 14 contiguës, l'extrémité distale 36D de chaque bras est munie d'une équerre 38, chaque branche 40 de l'équerre étant reliée à une des deux parois latérales 14 contiguës de la cuve. De façon classique, les branches de l'équerre 40 sont par exemple fixées aux parois 14 à l'aide de boulons et d'écrous (non visibles sur la figure).To better distribute the forces between two
Les bras de transmission des efforts 36 s'étendent à partir de l'embase (34) selon une configuration en étoile. En effet, une structure en étoile permet à la fois un bon équilibrage du conteneur lors de son levage et de conférer une bonne résistance mécanique à l'ensemble.The
La cuve 12 présentant, dans le mode de réalisation représenté à la
Cette configuration « en araignée » ou « en étoile », autrement dit dans laquelle une pluralité de bras de transmission des efforts 36 s'étendent à partir de l'embase 34 dans des directions différentes, de préférence de façon symétrique de révolution, peut s'appliquer à différentes formes de cuve. Ainsi, dans le cas où cette dernière comprendrait par exemple six parois disposées de sorte à définir un volume V hexagonal, la structure de transmission des efforts 20 serait munie de six bras de transmission 36 s'étendant à partir de l'embase 34 vers les zones de jonction J des parois contiguës.This “spider” or “star” configuration, in other words in which a plurality of
Dans le cas d'une unique paroi latérale 14, par exemple cylindrique, on pourra prévoir par exemple au moins trois bras s'étendant à partir de l'embase 34 vers trois points de la paroi latérale 14, de préférence répartis de façon uniforme sur le bord supérieur de la paroi latérale 14.In the case of a
La cuve 12 étant le plus souvent munie d'un couvercle, non représenté sur les figures, la structure de transmission des efforts 30 est de préférence disposée dans le couvercle. Ceci permet de la dissimuler en occupant un espace qui n'est pas dédié au stockage des déchets.The
Selon un mode de réalisation exemplaire ne faisant pas partie de l'invention, le conteneur 10, dont la partie supérieure est représentée à la
Ce mode de réalisation présente l'avantage d'être moins coûteux et moins lourd que le précédent du fait de la suppression de la poutre transversale notamment. Il peut ainsi être destiné aux conteneurs destinés à recevoir des déchets peu encombrants, comme par exemple des bouteilles en verre, pour lesquels la présence des chaînes dans la partie centrale de la cuve 12 n'est pas un obstacle à leur trajet vers le fond de la cuve et leur évacuation après ouverture des trappes 16a, 16b. Dans ce mode de réalisation, la présence de la structure de transmission des efforts 30 est d'autant plus nécessaire pour reprendre les efforts de levage et liés au fonctionnement du dispositif d'actionnement des trappes 17, car la poutre transversale 19 n'est plus présente.This embodiment has the advantage of being less expensive and less heavy than the previous one due to the elimination of the transverse beam in particular. It can thus be intended for containers intended to receive compact waste, such as for example glass bottles, for which the presence of the chains in the central part of the
La portée de l'invention n'est limitée que par les revendications annexées.The scope of the invention is limited only by the appended claims.
L'invention pourra notamment s'appliquer, en plus des conteneurs de collecte de déchets à tous types de conteneurs adaptés au levage, tels que des conteneurs de stockage de marchandises par exemple.The invention could in particular be applied, in addition to waste collection containers, to all types of containers suitable for lifting, such as goods storage containers for example.
