Description

Underground equipment for waste collection urban.

Object of the invention

This utility model refers to a underground equipment for urban waste collection, of the type of those that the container is housed in a pit established in the floor, which is closed by the corresponding lid articulated

The object of the invention is to achieve the opening and closing said lid in a safe way, avoiding its fall in case of accidental impact.

Background of the invention

They are already known in the state of the art numerous solutions to bury trash bins in the cities, and avoid aesthetic and location problems that these originate.

Generally, this type of equipment is composed of a lifting platform placed inside a pit, on which the garbage container is deposited. The moat it is closed by an articulated lid equipped with an access mailbox to deposit garbage in the underground container.

To proceed with the removal of the container, It has a hydraulic system that elevates the platform to the sidewalk level or roadway, while opening the cover, until it is upright, so that the truck can collect and empty the container.

During the container removal process, to Sometimes, the pickup truck accidentally hits the lid, causing its exit from the guide, and therefore its fall, which disables the operation of the equipment, while producing a Dangerous situation when having to leave the lid open with the surface container.

This situation requires technical services maintenance to act immediately to restore your operation, with the inconvenience and costs that this represents.

Description of the invention

The underground equipment for waste collection urban proposed by the invention, solves the problem previously exposed, since it performs the opening and closing of the pit lid in a safe way, not allowing its fall accidental.

To do this, and more specifically, the team underground for the collection of urban waste is of the type of that the container is housed inside a pit, over a lifting platform assisted by a hydraulic system of mobilization, whose pit is closed superiorly by a lid articulated associated to the lifting platform through a couple of guides, and provided with an access mailbox for the passage of the bags of waste to the container.

To avoid the exit of the guides, and so both the fall of the lid in case of accidental impact, the said guides are constituted by tubular profiles of quadrangular section, integral to the surface of the platform lift, and equipped with a longitudinal groove in its wall outside, inside of which two heads circulate of solidarity running on the inside of the articulated cover, to through connecting arms, the upper end of said profiles is topped on a stretch curved, followed by another horizontal parallel to the lid in position closed.

In this way, thanks to the disposition of the quadrangular tubular profiles, the rolling heads that connect to the cover through two connecting arms, not they can leave their route, being the narrowest slot that the tread head The width of the longitudinal groove is substantially larger than the width of the connecting arm so that can slide longitudinally along the guide.

To facilitate the entry of the heads of rolling inside the profiles, the outer walls of the horizontal sections of the quadrangular profiles, have a opening sized for the passage of the head, which connects with the longitudinal groove

Description of the drawings

To complete the description that is being performing, and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1 shows a side view of a underground equipment for urban waste collection in position closed, in which the arrangement of the container can be seen on the lifting platform, the closing cover, the mailbox access and one of the guides for opening and closing the lid.

Figure 2 shows a side view in detail of one of the guides with the lid open, which can be seen the connecting arm

Figure 3 shows a side view of the top of the guide, in this case, with the lid closed.

Figure 4 shows a detailed view of the opening arranged in the outer wall of the horizontal section of the quadrangular profiles, which connects to the groove longitudinal.

Figure 5 shows a detailed view of the rolling head according to section A-A 'of the figure 2.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can observe how the equipment for urban waste collection is composed of a lifting platform 1, arranged inside from the pit, on which the waste container is deposited 2. The pit is closed by an articulated lid 3, equipped with a mailbox of access 4 for the passage of garbage bags inside the container 2.

To empty the container 2, the equipment has a hydraulic system, not represented in the drawings, which elevates to platform 1, and therefore to the container 2, up to the level of the sidewalk or driveway, so that the truck of Pickup can remove it and empty it.

The opening of the lid 3 that closes the pit, is performs synchronously with the lifting of platform 1, thanks to the provision of guides 5 that link the elevation of platform 1, with the opening and closing of lid 3.

Said guides 5 are constituted by some tubular profiles of quadrangular section integral to the platform 1, at the end near the articulation axis 6 of the cover 3.

The profiles that constitute guides 5 are provided with a longitudinal groove 7, arranged in the wall outside, for the movement inside the profile of two tread heads 8 that connect to cover 3, through of the connecting arms 9.

The connecting arm 9 is constituted by a plate, fixed at one end to the cover 3 and provided in the opposite end of the tread head 8, which is composed by a pair of bearings 10 that circulates inside the quadrangular profile that constitute the guides 5. The width of the longitudinal groove 7 is substantially larger than the width of the arm of connection 9 so that it can move longitudinally to the length of the guide 5. In this way, the bearings 10 circulate through the inside of the guide 5, resting between the lateral branches of the grooved wall 7 and the opposite wall.

The guides 5 are topped off in a curved section 11, followed by another horizontal 12, parallel to the lid 3 in closed position.

To facilitate the entry of the heads of rolling 8 inside the guides 5, on the outer wall of the horizontal section 12, there is an opening 13, sized for head 8 input, which connects to the slot longitudinal 7.

When lid 3 is closed, the connection arms 9, with their respective rolling heads, coincide in position with the openings 13, as it can can be seen in figure 3.

At the moment when platform 1 starts its elevation, the horizontal section 12 of the guide 5 begins to push the cover 3, through the head 8 and connecting arm 9, starting its opening by pivoting on the axis of articulation 6.

As the lid 3 begins to tilt, the head 8 moves towards curved section 11, continuing along the vertical section until lid 3 is fully open in vertical position.

Once lid 3 is fully open, it is say upright, platform 1 continues its elevation until reaching the level of the sidewalk or roadway, staying in said position held by the vertical section of the guide 5, which runs parallel to the cover 3.

In this position, the pickup truck can remove the container, empty it and deposit it again in your site. If during this operation there was an impact accidentally, the cover 3 would not fall, since the head 8 cannot exit the guide 5.
